The sword ray that split the cauldron in two and soared from the dan refinement room took all of Ning Fan’s magical power. Ning Fan collapsed and directly passed out in the dan room.

In his coma, Ning Fan had a strange dream.

He saw that he was amongst a hazy heaven and earth where there was a tablet of fire that towered at one thousand zhang high. This was the Mysterious Yin World.

Under the tablet was a woman whose face couldn’t be seen. She was resting on a foggy cloud, seemingly to be in deep slumber. Her magical power was boundless with a powerful aura. Vein Opening and Harmonious Spirit realm cultivators in Seven Apricot City can not compare to her might.

“You are the owner of the mysterious voice...” Ning Fan said while half conscious.

“Little monarch, do not peek. Oh, be careful or your mind will be trapped inside the black void, and it will never be let out again…”

The woman smiled in the dream. She breathed out a burst of sweet fragrant wind and blew Ning Fan directly out of the dream land.

Mysterious Yin World — this was the world inside the Yin Yang Locket… Apparently, this was its name…

Some time later, Ning Fan slowly opened his eyes. He still felt a bit dazed. He couldn’t remember the dream from earlier; instead, there were only some faint images of the woman inside the locket.

The moment he woke up, the sound of the mysterious woman appeared again.

“Big Sister’s sleep this time will be several decades. Don’t wake Big Sister up. No peeking next time as well.”

“She is sleeping again…”

As the mysterious woman fell into her slumber, Ning Fan regained his clarity. He finally noticed that he was naked and lying on a bed.

Zhihe was by his side with a blushed expression while carefully and gently wiping his wounds for him with a basin to the side.

“Big Brother, you have been unconscious for three days, Zhihe was very worried…”

“Three days?” Ning Fan was slightly shocked.

He didn’t actually think that the sword intent draining all of his power would cause him to be so weak and require him to spend three days in a coma.

This truly terrifying sword intent inside his body, why did he have this sort of sword intent? Eh? Could it be that this has something to do with the sword marks on the blue boulder of the female ghost?

Hmm!

Ning Fan suddenly had a headache and tensed up. Information about the sword skill suddenly appeared in his head.

“Fire Transformation Sword — a Harmonious Spirit realm sword skill. By drawing out the energy of the flame, one is able to change the sword into fire…”

Eh, he somehow mastered a Harmonious Spirit realm sword skill named the Fire Transformation Sword.

Did this count as his first magical technique since becoming a cultivator?

“Oh hey, Little Bast*rd, you are finally awake? Little Girl, go out, I have something to ask him.”

A wretched laughter appeared and the old monster strode into Ning Fan’s bedroom as Zhihe was leaving.

“You came to check my progress in cultivation?” Ning Fan speechlessly watched this old monster's chrysanthemum flower expression. He couldn’t connect him with the black devil who treaded on the sky that day.

“What ‘you’, you? There’s not a bit of etiquette, call me Master!” The old monster was displeased.

“...” The word master, was too heavy. Ning Fan — for some reason — could not say it.

“Hmph! Difficult Little Brat, your father isn’t here to talk nonsense with you today, I have something to ask you.”

“Please ask, Predecessor.” Ning Fan used a more respectful tone. After all, he was living under this man’s roof.

The old monster was still not satisfied with this way addressing him, but he didn’t bother bringing it up as he asked: “Your Fire Transformation Sword, what is going on? You had an affair with the little girl, Dugu?” The old monster nervously looked at Ning Fan.

Never! This disciple is turning into a brother-in-law play. I must prevent it! I must not allow Ning Fan to be together with Dugu!

“If I say I don’t know, would you believe it?” Ning Fan wryly smiled. He somehow learned the Fire Transformation Sword.

The old monster had a “you can’t fool me” look on his face and stared at Ning Fan while Ning Fan had an “I’m innocent” look while staring at the old monster.

After a while, the old monster waved his hand without any other choice: “Fine, fine, as evil cultivators, we are full of lies. Even if you cheat your master, not only will your master accept it, but he will be even more satisfied with you. Hey, this is in line with evil behavior and the evil teaching of our ancestors…”

As a result, the old monster excitedly spoke about the ancestral rules of the Black Evil Sect.

Ning Fan, for the first time, unknowingly felt a little closer to the old monster as he chattered on.

At this moment, it seemed like this was not the high up above old devil, but only a wretched old grandpa speaking.

“I said so much, do you remember it all?” The old monster asked in a discontented manner.

“Yes.”

“Good, then I will ask you one thing: are you capable of refining a Three Revolution Dan? Are you a Three Revolution Dan Master?”

The old monster gazed at Ning Fan in confusion. He himself was only a Three Revolution Dan Master. If Ning Fan was also the same, then wouldn’t the two of them be on the same level?

He, as the master, was on the same level as his disciple — how could this be!

Originally, the old monster didn’t take Ning Fan too seriously about making a detoxification elixir for him. This was because it would take at least a Four Revolution Dan to cure him completely.

He didn’t think that Ning Fan was capable of creating dan, but he still allowed for him to play around.

Now, it appears that Ning Fan wasn’t just aimlessly playing around? Even if he only became a cultivator a short time ago, his comprehension of the dan refinement process was so profound!

Sure enough, the jade locket had something to do with it...

“I haven’t tried, but with my fifth level Vein Opening realm, I should be able to refine a Three Revolution Dan.” Ning Fan thought for a moment and replied.

“Oh, this little smelly brat has such arrogant tone. With this confidence, perhaps you could even create a Four Revolution Dan?” The old monster was calm on the surface, but his heart was gasping for breath.

“A Four Revolution Dan… Haven’t tried…” He answered with an implication that it was in his grasp.

This devilish disciple who only just recently became a cultivator was really able to refine a Four Revolution Dan! He was even better than his Master Han!

The old monster’s face became green and then red. As the master, how could his dan refining skill be worse than his disciple! Such shame and disgrace!

“Smelly Brat, give me a copy of your detoxification dan recipe! Your father will go into seclusion and break through the Four Revolution Dan Master rank!”
