Ning Qi patiently waited for around half an hour, while Kang Xuan and Shen Yue started their sparring practice.
All of them have made genuine progress over the days, from being a noob to at least the level of junior level. Nangong Xu being the most powerful of all can even beat both of them at the same time, even though all of them are almost at the same level.
Shen Yue is a bit more powerful than Kang Xuan as his stats aren't as powerful as hers. And also Shen Yue did have the foundation of a martial artist, giving her the chance to even fight with Nangong Xu for at least 10 moves.
Kang Xuan may be the weakest of all, but he obviously is the calmest, so he has a great chance of winning against an enemy that may be cruel, but lesser strength than him.
Nangong Xu came back with a small package, which was sealed perfectly. As soon as he approached, Ning Qi took the parcel from his hands.
"Everything went well right? " Ning Qi just asked for confirmation, as he already understood that everything is good from the looks for relaxed face from Nangong Xu.
"Don't worry sect master! The delivery guy is very respectful, he confirmed whether I am the guy that ordered these guns or not, before handing them over, that's all."
Nangong Xu said as he observed his surroundings for any cameras. But the agency folks chose an excellent spot that will give an exact blind spot for delivery.
"Alright! That's good then, go on and start cultivation already. If you don't break through before we start our journey the next morning, I will make sure to punish you."
Ning Qi warned and shooed him as soon as the goods got in his hand.
"Oh! I think I can break through tonight itself sect master. Just let me see the guns at least, I worked so hard to get them. " Nangong Xu asked and even swiped the 'non-existent' sweat from his forehead.
Ning Qi's face twitched at this fellow's shameless behavior. He swiftly kicked him out of the arena area and moved towards him to kick once more. But Nangong Xu hurriedly ran to the sect hall, as he already felt a stinging pain on his butt.
Both Kang Xuan and Shen Yue saw this too. Shen Yue who was about to ask the same thing swallowed her words and kept her concentration on the match.
Ning Qi crossed and went to the backside of the sect, where Reed rock flute mountains are. He stopped at around 100 meters away from the mountain and unpacked that box slowly.
He looked at the guns, which are already in assembled state. The butt of the gun is completely red, including the grip. From the front sight of the body to the hammer, the downside trigger parts are all pure black. The grip of this is very slim compared to the pistols that usually have, which made the upper body looks longer, overall an absolute slim beauty.
He slowly took one of the guns into his hands, as soon as he touched the gun, an array of information flooded into his mind, probably from his Gun mastery. He felt very familiar, as though he has been using this for years.
" Around 1.5 kg, not much weight at all. A muzzle velocity of 610 m/s at the muzzle and a velocity that will reach up to 400 m/s in the 100-meter range. An effective gun for 50 to 100-meter ranges, a perfect beast for me."
Ning Qi slowly caressed the gun and fell in love with this baby. He slowly looked at the magazine, which has 7.5 mm bullets, and already knows the magazine count is 15 bullets."
He quickly loaded that magazine and unhooked that safety before sliding the slide. He held the gun single-handed straight to a particular point on the mountain rock and fired.
'Boom'
The bullet that just shot out of the muzzle instantly disappeared from there and the next moment there is a loud enough voice.
Ning Qi applied his time laws making the bullet directly appear right beside that rock without losing any momentum. But ultimately the bullet itself doesn't have that much power to deal with such a huge rock.
Ning Qi already predicted this or else his time shifting will be absolutely useless against a strong enemy who can just ward off his attack with strong spiritual energy protection.
Ning then slowly injected his spiritual energy into the bullet and fired the shot at the same rock. This time the stone had a big crack but still didn't blow off.
Ning Qi gradually increased the amount of spiritual energy with each shot and the last shot has half of his spiritual energy in it, which made a huge boom, and the rock directly blasted into powder.
Ning Qi felt amazed by that shot, he was just giving a shot and seeing what happens if he uses that much spiritual energy, as that was the last bullet. The rock that used this shot is altogether a new rock too, not the 'wounded' one which was already blasted on 3 or 4th shot of his practice with spiritual energy.
That sound shook all the three disciples, who hurriedly came out to look at what happened. But Ning Qi signaled them to carry on their practice. Ning Qi also felt that it is a good thing that the sect is in a remote outskirts area, or else the police officers would have already been here to check what was happening.
"System! How much power does that last shot have?" Ning Qi couldn't help but ask for the exact value.
"Ding! According to the system, it has the powerful blast of an average peak-level foundation establishment layer cultivator. But an above-average Foundation establishment peak realm cultivators have an instant burst speed of over 600 m/sec. The system suggests the host propel the bullet using spiritual energy to speed it up. With the host's current cultivation, if the host uses half of the spiritual energy to propel and the other half for explosive power, the host can easily kill anyone under the Golden core realm. But the host will also be unable to perform any more battles after that." The system explained and gave more suggestions to Ning Qi.
Spiritual exhaustion, Ning Qi is already feeling, as he is almost at the nil point now. Even if he wants, he can't practice anymore. He placed that gun inside the package, before carrying it back to the sect hall.
He simply ate some breakfast that was delivered by Kang Xuan's brother Kang Ming early in the morning, before going on to bed to restore his spiritual energy.
" Damn! I was barely able to fight against a foundation establishment realm 1 cultivator before. But now I'm already able to blast off anyone under the Golden core realm. I would probably get even stronger by tomorrow, once Nangong Xu broke through tomorrow or tonight."
While thinking for the absolute best, Ning Qi dozed off. He didn't even wake up for lunch and dinner. But around 11 pm, he heard the 'sweetest' sound that he wanted to listen to, making him wake up from his dreams.
" Ding! The system found that a direct disciple Nangong Xu has been successfully broken through to the Qi refining realm 3. The host will get the 100% bonus from the disciple's cultivation."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through to the Foundation establishment realm."
" Ding! The host has been found to break through a major realm... Meeting the requirements to Open Pill treasury... The pill treasury has successfully been opened. Please check the host."
System notifications came one after another.
"Hm! I didn't expect a surprise for breaking through to the foundation establishment realm though. Well! Now I'm feeling a bit secure." Ning Qi thought to himself for a bit, before asking that system to open the Sect panel.
"System! open the sect panel." Ning Qi asked as he wanted to find out what this Pill treasury has for him.
