- Chapter 70 (1/2)
Eastern Ocean Bell, Ghost Subduing Skeleton
A slash created an opening on the defensive barrier of the formation in the second level of the vault.
When Ning Fan and Chu Chen entered the second level, their eyes were fixed on the jade cabinets that were filled with golden Sense Beads and some other ghost’s magical treasures.
Ning Fan’s burning gaze couldn’t leave the Sense Beads. If he could refine all of these hundreds of Gold Core Sense Beads…
As he looked at the ghost’s magical treasures, he was slightly stunned. There were also hundreds of them and some of them had higher spiritual nature than him.
“Vessel Spirit Magical Treasure!”
He began to collect large piles of Sense Beads and those Vessel Spirit Magical Treasures without hesitation, whereas the old man in a fisherman’s clothes, Chu Chen, was looking at those Sense Beads uninterestedly.
“Let’s go to the third level and collect those spiritual herbs. Why are you wasting your time on these Sense Beads?”
As the great elder of Purple Clan, he had a few hundred Sense Beads in his clan but they were all useless to him. What he needed right now was spiritual herbs, a vast amount of them. He had decided to refine those spiritual herbs and break through tl the Nascent Soul realm and enter the Fourth Region!”
Even in Chu Chen’s dream, he wouldn’t have thought that these Sense Bead could be used to raise a human’s spirit sense realm.
Chu Chen still needed Ning Fan’s Separation Slayer to break open the grand formation in the third level. Naturally, he wouldn’t argue with Ning Fan because of his disagreement. Although they agreed to divide the treasures equally, he wouldn’t be calculative with Ning Fan with regards to these Sense Beads.
Ning Fan didn’t respond to Chu Chen’s comment. After collecting all the Sense Beads, he looked at the passageway to the third level. His eyes twitched and sensed that the Bone Emperor hadn’t found him yet. In other words, he could continue robbing herbs.
After ten breaths of time, the defensive barrier of third level’s formation was incinerated by Ning Fan’s single sword slash.
A hundred breaths later, the defensive barrier of the fourth level’s formation was incinerated too by his sword.
Ning Fan and Chu Chen were moving very quickly. At this time, someone must have probably reported the robbery to the great elder of the Green Clan!
In the fourth level, a depot was permeated with a cold air that could stung people’s bones. The items that were stored inside were all millennium spiritual herbs. There were even some that were two to three-millennium spiritual herbs.
Ning Fan and Chu Chen’s eyes twitched, they patted their storage pouches and began collecting the spiritual herbs frenziedly, as if their movements were fully synchronized.
The amount of spiritual herbs in Green Clan was appallingly great. The two of them ignored the types and age of the herbs, their hands collected them in lightning speed.
There were a few extremely rare spiritual herbs that were very important to Chu Chen’s break through to the Nascent Soul realm. At this time, Chu Chen spoke and asked Ning Fan for it.
“My young friend, this Jade Emerald Herb is very important to me. Could you give it up for this old man?”
“Young friend, this is a two-millennium Wooden Wind Grass, can you also give it to this old man?”
“That is Blood Magnolia, young friend…”
Not a single trace of threat was present in his tone. It was more like a discussion. This was because Ning Fan’s Separation Slayer had given him a great sense of danger, additionally he could also sense a hidden strength inside Ning Fan which would bring more harm to him.
Therefore, the dignified great elder of the Purple Clan spoke in a very friendly manner to a junior. If this was seen by the members of the Purple Clan, they would certainly be shocked by how friendly the hot-tempered Chu Chen had become.
“Okay, take them.”
Ning Fan wasn’t very selective in these spiritual herbs, it was because his present cultivation didn’t require Fourth Revolution pills yet. So, there was no rush in getting these kinds of spiritual herbs first. And, it was unnecessary to start a conflict with an elder because of this trivial matter.
In the vault, Ning Fan had gathered many of the required herbs to concoct the Nascent Soul Transformation Dan. Although he still lacked several of them, it wasn’t as bad when the herbs were eaten by the small sable.
After collecting all the spiritual herbs, there were still several ghosts’ magical treasures with exceptional rank left.
There were five peak high rank magical treasures and two highest rank magical treasures!
The peak high rank magical treasures were flying swords with gold, green, red, yellow and blue colors. They looked as if the five of them formed a complete set. If the five of them were launched at the same time, its power might be on par with the highest grade magical treasure!
There were two highest grade magical treasures. One of them was a small pure gold bell named Dong Ming Bell. The other magical treasure was a blood-red skeleton. It looked like it was crafted from the skull of some powerful ghost. It was named as Ghost Subduing Skeleton.
Clearly, the Ghost Subduing Skeleton has a higher quality and power compared to the Eastern Ocean Bell. Upon seeing this treasures, Chu Chen’s eyes blazed even more intensely compared to the time when he saw those millennium spiritual herbs.
On the contrary, when Ning Fan’s attention was shifted from the five-coloured flying swords to Eastern Ocean Bell, he was slightly surprised, as if he had detected something unusual.
“I want the Eastern Ocean Bell!”
“I want the Ghost Subduing Skeleton!”
Two yells resounded in the place. When they realised that their interests weren’t conflicting, Chu Chen let out pleasant laugh while Ning Fan’s eyes relaxed.
“Alright, young friend will keep the Eastern Ocean Bell while I’ll keep the Ghost Subduing Skeleton. As for the five flying swords, I don’t need it, so I will let young friend take it.”
Chu Chen was truly generous. As a matter of fact, there was a lot of history that lied in this skeleton. It was crafted from the skull of a Spirit Severing ghost. With such item in hand, it would give the possessor of the item a chance to advance to the Spirit Severing realm. Without a doubt, this only worked on ghosts and would absolutely be useless to Ning Fan.
Thus, this item was even more precious than the Eastern Ocean Bell. That explained why Chu Chen let Ning Fan take the five flying swords.
“En.”
Ning Fan naturally wouldn’t decline the good intention of the elder. With two slashes of his Separation Slayer, it broke the defensive spell that safeguarded the five flying swords and Eastern Ocean Bell.
Elder Chu Chen on the other hand, wasn’t able to break open the defensive spell after a few turns and twists. He then looked over at Ning Fan and gave him a wry smile.
“Can young friend help elder break the spell…”
The dignified great elder of the Purple Clan was asking a tiny Harmonious Spirit junior for help and he didn’t even feel ashamed of doing that because Ning Fan was qualified for him to ask.
“Of course!”
Ning Fan swung his Separation Slayer to slash open the defensive spell of the Ghost Subduing Skeleton.
Whether it was the five elemental flying swords or the Eastern Ocean Bell, Ning Fan wouldn’t be able to wield any of them yet with his current magical power. The thing that caught Ning Fan’s attention the most wasn’t the physical body of the bell but the ancient inscription on its top.
According to the ancient chaotic memory of the Immortal Emperor, this inscription was like the characters from the Demon Race, but not much details were found in the memory.
Although he didn’t know the underlying meaning of this inscription, he had a faint feeling that the value of this inscription was higher than the highest rank magical treasure. Even if the inscription was deemed useless, Ning Fan wouldn’t feel that he had suffered a loss when the Ghost Subduing Skeleton was given to the elder, because it was also useless to him.
“Haha! This is great! Your attitude fits mine! Why not come with elder back to the Purple Clan to have a seat…?”
Chu Chen was holding the bloody skeleton as if he was unwilling to be parted with it.
“Thank you for Great Elder’s kind intention, but junior preferred to come and go freely…”
