- Chapter 38 (2/2)

Yuchi’s build was close to six feet tall akin to an iron wall, and his face glowed with radiance. His cultivation wasn’t high, just at mid-Harmonious Spirit….it was just that, the little piglet in his arms gave Nanyang Zi a feeling of blending with nature. If his estimation was accurate, within ten years, this person would have a breakthrough into the Gold Core realm!

Lastly, the impression Situ gave Nanyang Zi was the most profound of all! Wearing a plain monastic style robes, yet neither a monk nor a Taoist, carrying a sword, issuing terrible sword intent that pierced through the sky. Clearly, he was just a late Harmonious Spirit expert yet the sword intent that exuded bone deep gave Nanyang Zi the illusion that if this person was truly angered, even he would be unable to block that man’s sword beam.

“I did not expect the waters of Ning City would be so deep…”

If Nanyang Zi didn’t care about his own face and reputation, he would very quickly and enthusiastically turn around and leave this instant. He had lived several hundred years, and gained some insight through the years, understanding there are some people that you cannot afford to provoke.

Unfortunately, the three with him didn’t possess the same keen judgment, Lu Nanzi and the other two’s arrogance took over.

“Tell your City Lord to roll out here within three breaths’ time!” The old fellow surnamed Chen snorted, taking the lead.

So what if there are three Harmonious Spirit experts? Without a peak Harmonious Spirit, Ning City can’t block them.

So what if there are three battle guard troops? These Vein Opening kids couldn’t even fly into the sky, could they reach them to attack?

This so-called Young Noble Ning, seemingly powerful and prestigious, where in truth was all just unwarranted fame.

The same thought echoed in the other two experts minds as well; the expression on their faces showed a collective decision was made – today, they must destroy Ning City.

“Extortion failed already ah~~….Since it is like this, just kill all of them and forget the matter….”

Nangong’s soft voice lamented coldly; he wasn’t afraid even though there was a Gold Core old monster on the other side. His real strength was in fact, above Situ; after all, he was Situ’s Big Bro! A war seemed as though it was about to breakout any moment, but it was exactly at this time that the spiritual energy above Ning City suddenly became turbulent.

Two different colors of clouds appeared in the sky, followed by a whirlpool of spiritual energy.

A vision of colored clouds, and the emergence of a spiritual energy whirlpool, without a doubt, this was a four revolution dan condensing!

At this point, Nanyang Zi wasn’t the only one astounded; Lu Nanzi as well as the two old fellows surnamed Chen and Zhu showed great shock.

Within Ning City there is actually a Four Revolution Dan Refinement Master! Even a Nascent Soul old monster needed to treat a Four Revolution Dan Refinement Master with utter respect as a guest of honor.

In fact, not only were the four guests shocked, Nangong, Situ, and Yuchi were as well. They were only told Ning Fan was in seclusive practice, they didn’t know Ning Fan was actually refining a four revolution dan!

A flame burned in the three commander’s eyes; if Young Lord became a Four Revolution Dan Refinement Master, regardless of his mid-Harmonious Spirit strength, his assemblage influence would be terrifying. Up to the level of Great Void School’s Sovereign wouldn’t dare to offend Ning Fan!

In the next moment, the turbulent whirlpool of spiritual energy dissipated as the fragrant smell of medicine pellet permeated the air. Despite that, things had not ended, black rumbling clouds rolled, gathering above Ning City.

Under this level of heaven tribulation lightning, a Gold Core expert such as Nanyang Zi felt apprehensive.

A four revolution dan’s heaven tribulation lightning could hack to death an average Gold Core cultivator!

“Can Young Master triumph against the tribulation lightning…” Nangong was worried.

…………..

In the Dan Refinement Room, Ning Fan slapped on the Dan Shattering Cauldron’s top and with a twirl of his sleeve several half gold half black little round pills flew to his palm, entering into a bottle.

His divine sense swept out and felt the trespassers’ presence, the light in his eyes turned cold.

“Sisi, go and deal with heaven tribulation lightning, and the troublemakers, don’t let even one escape!”

After barking out orders towards the other side of the door, Ning Fan sat cross-legged, deeply breathing a mouthful of turbid qi; adjusting his breathing for a long time, he took out a Jade Royal Dan and swallowed it down. The rest was put away.

The instant the pellet entered his stomach, slowly refining it, Ning Fan’s injuries recovered at an alarming rate. The injuries to his veins and meridians – healed in an instant; the shattered bones – mended instantly. The many years of hidden internal injuries gradually recovered one by one. Furthermore, Ning Fan’s physique was growing significantly stronger, transforming from his previous poor and weak physique.

Before he could be happy for himself, a piercing pain shot through his body, nearly causing him to faint.

His entire body’s meridians and veins, crushed! Every bone in his head, shattered!

As Ning Fan persevered in refining the energy from the pellet, his veins, meridians, bones, tendons started to heal, becoming tougher. This was truly a strange phenomenon!

But, in the next moment, …meridians, veins…everything was broken again…

The process repeated itself over and over, each time he was healed fully, in the next moment everything would be shattered!

This was Jade Royal Dan, tyrannical. Yet it transformed his body’s constitution, allowing a mortal to possess a physique even Immortals and Devils were envious of. Of course, there was a price he must pay.

The moment a butterfly broke out from its cocoon, the pain was like a layer of skin being peeled off, excruciating pain piercing through the heart, which was why many butterflies died in that instant of breaking out, the pain was unbearable.

Nine out of ten people who swallowed a Jade Royal Dan died in pain in that moment of breaking out of the cocoon, that even included a Fiendgod!

A Fiendgod’s Immortal Body could defend against all attacks, excluding pain. To withstand the pain, what was necessary wasn’t magic powers but a strong will and heart!

“Endure, if not, die!” Ning Fan’s lips were white from anguished pain as he gritted his teeth.

At one point, Ning Fan’s bones were glowing a soft silver, like that of a star….

Amongst physique refining cultivators, this was called the Silver Bone Stage. A stage many physique refining cultivators could only dream of….

Ning Fan endured the long suffering, all for that moment of breaking out from the cocoon, morphing into a butterfly!
