- Chapter 54 (2/2)
There were 40 dans from the two bottles of Raising Spirit Dan given by Lan Mei, which was enough to raise the spirit for 20 veins. There were also 17 human cauldrons in his Cauldron Ring waiting for him to be plucked. The 15 Harmonious Spirit female cultivators alone would likely help him raise the spirit of the remaining 50 veins through plucking.
He would be at the Late Harmonious Spirit once a hundred veins’ spirit were raised.
Ning Fan’s eyes twitched. Without any further hesitation, he whisked something off his sleeve. The Cauldron Ring glimmered. In this moment, 15 delicately pretty Harmonious Spirit female cultivators were lying on the ground unconscious. Ning Fan used his Yin Plucking Finger and touched at a point on their bodies. Then, these 15 girls, although they were still in their dreams, could no longer bear ‘it’ and let out moans. Some were gently massaging their bosoms and some have their finger stretching into the spot between their legs.
Ning Fan hesitated for a moment but that was very quickly replaced by coldness. These evil females were his enemies, they needed no mercy!
Ning Fan stripped off his clothes and walked frigidly to those unconscious females.
The‘activity’ lasted for three days and three nights outside in the wild. After that, his cultivation had made a breakthrough, reaching the Late Harmonious Spirit.
…
On the other hand, Elder Meng Chu of Merit Hall reported Ning Fan to his superiors. It immediately attracted the Harmonious Spirit elders and many deacons.
Their mouths where agape upon seeing Ning Fan’s contribution points. They were only informed of his scary background but not his cultivation grade. Naturally, they were tremendously surprised by his speed of gaining points.
In two hours’ time, he had gained 754 contribution points. These old men didn’t have the confidence to achieve this result even if they were in the forest.
“This young man, isn’t normal…” Elder Li heaved a sigh, diminishing all his arrogance. The representative which their clan was proud of—Li Zhi Huan—was nothing compared to this Ning Fan.
“Hehe, now I’m starting to have an interest in this Ning Fan.” Elder Chu who disdained Ning Fan before chuckled, the latest update had changed her views of him. Her just being in the Intermediate Harmonious Spirit realm made it hard for her to recruit Ning Fan.
All of them didn’t know Ning Fan’s true cultivation grade, it was natural that they were stupefied, but there was one amongst them who knew.
An old man with white beard, brows, robe and sword walked into the Merit Hall slowly while his eyes were slightly shut. Behind him was a good-looking young man in white.
When the crowd inside the hall saw his arrival, their expression turned serious and greeted him with respect.
“Greetings, White Honour.”
This snowy white old man was actually one of the Four Honour Devils in Sinister Sparrow Sect. He was the ‘White Honour’, an Intermediate Gold Core expert. His name is Bai Feiteng.
Regarding Ning Fan’s true cultivation grade, any elder above Gold Core realm knew about it but none of them had come. It seemed like this matter had given White Honour a food for thought for him to come here in person.
Bai Feiteng nodded, as if replying the crowd’s greetings. His were eyes fixed on the Merit Monument. When he saw Ning Fan’s position, his eyes darted a disdainful glance.
“The disciple of Han Yuanji is nothing more than this. An Intermediate Harmonious Spirit expert but only obtained 754 contribution points after two hours.”
As his word came out, everyone in the Merit Hall gasped in a cold breath.
The ordinary-looking Ning Fan was actually an Intermediate Harmonious Spirit expert? How was this possible?
However when thinking of how fast he obtained the 754 contribution points in just two hours, it made sense to them because he was an Intermediate Harmonious Spirit expert after all.
“An Intermediate Harmonious Spirit expert was trying to act aggressive in front of the Vein Opening newbies? This is merely an act of grandstanding.”
Bei Feiteng smiled coldly and sat on a chair at one side. He didn’t get along with the Old Monster, naturally, he was reluctant to see his disciple to be in the limelight.
Unexpectedly, Bai Feiteng wouldn’t have thought that his disdainful remarks shone Ning Fan even more in the limelight.
There was one thing Ning Fan couldn’t feign and that was his bone age. Despite being only a 17 year old teenager, he was already an Intermediate Harmonious Spirit cultivator. If he was compared across the entire Yue Country or even the Southeast Continent of Rain World, he would without a doubt be recognized as a son of the heavens.
In Sinister Sparrow Sect, there were plenty of elders who were in between early and Intermediate Harmonious Spirit realm. After knowing Ning Fan’s cultivation grade, they were positive that he would be their superior very soon.
The attention towards Ning Fan didn’t reduce but increased instead. They were trying to predict how much contribution points Ning Fan, an Intermediate Harmonious Spirit expert, would get in a month’s time.
But then, they felt disappointed when they saw his contribution point became stagnant after three days. Their attention shifted to Lu Zi Qiao who had accumulated 600 points in three days’ time. He was on his way to exceed Ning Fan’s record.
“What’s that kid doing? Why is his contribution point not increasing?”
The viewers couldn’t understand why. The disdain in Bai Feiteng’s eyes grew stronger every time he came to the Merit Hall in these past three days’.
“Like I said, that kid is only trying to take advantage of the situation. I’m afraid he is now hiding somewhere after being seriously injured. Just wait for him until the trial finishes.”
Bai Feiteng’s remark was clearly full of bias but no one dared to retort. If Ning Fan wasn’t hiding in the forest, why was his contribution point not increasing?
After giving a last glance on the Merit Monument, Bai Feiteng turned and left. He had no intention of staying here any longer, but the moment he turned, the Merit Monument glowed. Then, they saw Ning Fan’s contribution points increased by a hundred, reaching 854 points in total.
It was a hundred points, which could only be obtained by killing an Early Harmonious Spirit ghosts. In other words, he had to enter the Second Region of the forest.
“This is not possible! How dare this kid enter the Second Region? Does he want to die?”
Bei Feiteng’s face changed instantly. This Ning Fan must be out of his mind. He was bold, as bold as Han Yuanji. He was just an Intermediate Harmonious Spirit expert. If he was surrounded by Peak Harmonious Spirit ghosts, he would die for sure.
“This kid, will die…” Bai Feiteng’s surprised face was replaced with solemnity. Unknowingly, his disdain against Ning Fan diminished.
…
It had already been three days, but there was no news about Ning Fan yet. Lan Mei was worried.
In the boudoir, after Lan Mei circulated her Universal Mana Suspension, she stopped practicing and exhaled deeply.
She tried to squeeze out a smile on her chilly face. She needed to practice the smile after Ning Fan said that her smile was unnatural.
While she was smiling like a fool in front of the mirror in her hand, she was frightened by her personal female servant, Ke Er’s sudden intrusion. She immediately hid her smile and saw Ke Er was panting for breath.
She then spoke in an offended tone, “Ke Er, why are you not obeying the rules?! How can you come in without even knocking the door?!”
“Young…Young Miss. Something bad has happened. Young Master…Young Master has entered the Second Region of the forest. The people in the Merit Hall said that he must have killed an Early Harmonious Spirit ghost to have a hundred points increase all of a sudden.”
“What?! Why is he so reckless? Not even a Gold Core elder will go there.”
The mirror fell from her hand and crashed on the floor. Lan Mei quickly stood up as her eyes were full of worries.
“Why is this Ning Fan so good at causing troubles? No, I have to ask for my dad to help him.”
