These pills were the master-disciple ceremonial gifts from the old monster, and some were from the Heaven Separation elders.

Ever since he reached Harmonious Spirit, he had not created any immortal veins and only had one vein. He simply harmonized ice and fire energies together as the foundation.

A cultivator's first realm was Vein Opening. The meaning was the same as its name, and it required cultivators to open their veins.

The second realm was Harmonious Spirit. This meant that cultivators needed to open veins along with integrating spirit energies inside.

Integrating fire spirit was fire cultivation. Integrating water spirit was water cultivation. The Harmonious Spirit realm determined the future direction of one’s cultivation. The five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) were the easiest to harmonize, and “Five Spirit Cultivators” were the most numerous. Meanwhile, thunder, ice, dark, poison and wind were the rare spirit energies and were called Heavenly Spirit Energies. Only someone with great fortune would be able to harmonize Heavenly Spirit Energy to become a “Heavenly Spirit Cultivator.”

For example, after having outdoor sex, Ning Fan was able to harmonize the ice spirit energy.

Ordinary cultivators could only harmonize one spirit into their veins. However, evil veins and divine veins were able to harmonize many spirit energies.

The present Ning Fan being able to harmonize fire and ice was already considered rare.

According to Ning Fan’s calculations, if he could harmonize ice and fire into his one hundred immortal veins, then he would be able to break through to the intermediate-stage Harmonious Spirit realm!

Early and intermediate only had the difference of one word, but the discrepancy in magical power was doubled! Normally, an intermediate Harmonious Spirit cultivator would not have a hard time destroying an early Harmonious Spirit cultivator.

Calming his thoughts, Ning Fan took out each dan bottle and slightly smiled, then he ate everything.

The Yin Yang Evil Vein had a terrifying dan medicine refinement rate. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to refine so many pills without several years.

As for Ning Fan? Only one night was enough!

The ten Mysterious Scholar Dan has been refined, and the Spirit Veins in his body reached six.

The five Suffering Spirit Dan has been consumed, and the Spirit Veins in his body reached eleven.

After the four Blood Sucking Dan were dissolved, the Spirit Veins reached seventeen.

Just after midnight, Ning Fan had completely refined all of his dan medicine. His speed doubled his previous expectations.

And the amount of Spirit Veins harmonized was half of his expectations…

He briefly thought about it and came to an understanding. After the Yin Yang Evil Vein harmonized two different spirits, his speed — along with the difficulty of Harmonious Spirit — also increased. Dual spirits required the twice the amount of dan medicines…

During his contemplation, inside the grave, Little Dugu’s cute mouth opened with some surprises.

“This little monster Ning, he has such a fast dan refinement speed… I heard Royal Father say that only very few Immemorial Evil Vein experts have such a marvelous speed… I wonder which type little monster Ning has… Bah, bah, bah, whatever type he has, it has nothing to do with me!”

Ning Fan did not know that Dugu was silently cursing him. He calmed his mind and energy. After his magical power stabilized, he raised his palm and took out a golden fruit with the shape of a longan [2].

Dao Fruit! Ning Fan has decided to eat the Dao Fruit to see how much his cultivation would increase by.

Little Dugu was quite shocked to see the Dau Fruit.

“Dao Fruit... This is an item that only comes after killing Gold Core old devils… little monster Ning is only an early Harmonious Spirit realm cultivator, can he even kill Gold Core old devils? Bah, bah, bah, why am I caring about other people’s business!? Dugu oh Dugu, you have to remember, this guy is a huge pervert. If you mess with him, then you will be like little Zhihe and will be tortured every night, crying and laughing at the same time…”

Remembering the unsuppressable moans throughout the night from little Zhihe, Dugu’s slender hands started to shiver along with the rest of her delicate body. She couldn’t imagine what type of suffering little Zhihe went through to have such miserable cries…

It must hurt a lot, a lot…

Ning Fan waited until his mind and energy was calm before swallowing the Dao Fruit in one gulp.

Then, his immortal veins, under the effect of the Dao Fruit, quickly harmonized with the spirits.

18 veins, 19 veins… 30 veins!

40 veins, 50 veins… 100 veins!

One hundred veins were harmonized in just a quarter of an hour. Ning Fan’s aura soared as his intermediate Harmonious Spirit momentum caused the snow around him to fly chaotically.

The sun was almost up. He welcomed the rising sun and stood up to breathe in the early morning’s air while feeling very refreshed.

There were two things that were the most comfortable in this world. One was dual cultivation. The other was a cultivation breakthrough — such a comfortable feeling!

“This is the intermediate Harmonious Spirit stage ah… Very powerful! I have doubled my magical energy from last night!”

Dao Fruit — truly good stuff yah…

He closed his eyes and stood silently in the snow, quelling his excited mind.

The Heaven Separation Sect was destroyed, and his little brother was saved. From now on, no matter whether it was dao cultivation, truth cultivation, immortal cultivation, or evil cultivation; it was only to pursue the path of the strong, nothing more.

That night above the All Pleasure Sect when the old monster destroyed the sect; the powerful image was imprinted in Ning Fan’s mind. This was probably his lifelong pursuit.

“It’s almost time to go to the Sinister Sparrow Sect. The heartless old monster seems to have sold me to the Sinister Sparrow’s Sect Master as a son-in-law…”

Ning Fan shook his head. He really didn’t have any positive opinions regarding Lan Mei. However, if she could become a bit more well-behaved, then it would not be completely unacceptable to suddenly have a wife.

He raised his palm. A glint of steel — like the starlight — moved around in his palm. This sword was named Separation Slayer, and this would not change.

“However, the impurities are too abundant in the Separation Slayer; it is not pure enough… Si Wuxie’s refinement skill is truly lacking… I have to open the cauldron to refine it again to make it better…”

The truth was that Si Wuxie’s skill was not bad. Instead, it was because Ning Fan’s sight was too high.

Having thought of Si Wuxie, Ning Fan’s expression turned cold. He turned around and headed toward the refinement room.

Ning Fan trod away amidst the snow and wind. Behind Ning Fan, Dugu came out from the grave as her beautiful eyes gazed at his departure. She faintly felt a little lost for unknown reasons.

“Is being a good person too far-fetched for you… little monster Ning, it would be so nice if you didn’t cultivate the Evil Dao… Royal Father would surely like you…”
