Spirit Sense, Peak Gold Core realm!
The last seclusion lasted for six days. On the ruined land of the Green Clan, Ning Fan expended 108 Sense Beads to restore the previous grand formation of the Green Clan – the Nascent realm defence grand formation.
A sable, two girls were guarding Ning Fan while he sat alone in the bamboo forest. After refining nearly a thousand Sense Beads, his spirit sense realm reached the peak Gold Core realm!
Across the Yue Country, Ning Fan’s cultivation realm might not be ranked in the top ten list, but his spirit sense realm could definitely put him into the top ten list.
He breathed out a turbid air and counted all the benefits that he had gained in Demon Sinister Forest.
There were still a hundred Sense Beads left, which was certainly not enough to advance his spirit sense.
With regards to the spiritual herbs, a lot of them had already been attacked by the small sable but he had robbed many of them also, so there wasn’t a huge variation between the original amount and the current. He had lost a few main herbs for the concoction but he had obtained a large amount of herbs required to a concoct Raising Spirit Dan and the Consolidating Spirit Dan.
About the magical treasure, there were currently five Vessel Spirit Magical Treasures, their Vessel Spirit could be devoured by Ning Fan in the future to cultivate the second art of Divine Art Chant – the Defence Art! As for the five peak High Rank flying swords, Ning Fan’s spirit sense wasn’t capable of wielding it yet, but he could do it by force. Although this could only exert a tenth of the full power, it was more than enough to kill intermediate Gold Core experts.
On the other hand, the Eastern Ocean Bell gave Ning Fan a very mysterious feeling. It was a Highest Rank Magical Treasure which he certainly couldn’t wield with his current magical strength. If he forcefully wield it, he could probably exert a hundredth of its power. What caught Ning Fan’s attention the most was the inscription of the bell. There might be a lot of secrets behind it if he could decipher it.
In addition, Ning Fan had also robbed two Immortal Execution Orders and three Death Replacement Order from the Great Elder of the Green Clan. The Immortal Execution Order could kill anyone below the Nascent Soul realm, and the Death Replacement Order could protect one’s life once. The moment he got the Death Replacement Order, he each gave one to Mu Weiliang and Ning Honhong. He took the last one, integrated it with his spiritual energy and wore it in front of his chest.
It seemed like he had also stumbled upon the way of taking a Jade Royal Dan, which was to relieve pain with pain. So when it hurt, he wouldn’t feel any pain. There was a great truth hidden in this incident that was beyond his ability to comprehend.
Anyhow, he had already comprehended one important point – that was he no longer need to wait for another ten years to take the fourth Jade Royal Dan. He just needed to bear the same degree of pain before taking one of the pills.
Back when he first entered the Demon Sinister Forest, he was merely an intermediate Harmonious Spirit cultivator, but presently, he had already broken through to the late Harmonious Spirit realm and his spirit sense realm reached a terrifying level – peak Gold Core realm. He had also acquired the inheritance of a Heavenly Emperor – the three arts in Divine Art Chant which allowed him to cultivate the Body Art – Soul Incarnation Chant. He had also cultivated the sword sense. The moment he come out of the forest and back into his world, he could instantly kill early Gold Core elders. As for the intermediate Gold Core elders, he could plot them to death and he could even fight those late Gold Core elders if he went all out.
Let’s not talk about Yue Country first. In Sinister Sparrow Sect alone, besides Sinister Sparrow and the unfound man – Ling Guiku, Ning Fan could probably be ranked third.
Besides the improvement in his cultivation, Ning Fan had also accidentally acquired a rib of the Bone Emperor that could enhance the power of his Separation Slayer. The current level of the Separation Slayer was already early-High Rank. Once it was reforged, it would be upgraded to at least Intermediate Rank weapon or even higher.
As for the eleventh cold Qi among the twelve Heavenly Cold Qi – Bone Prison Qi was another accidental reward. Ning Fan could only keep this cold Qi in his Yin Yang Locket because much preparation was needed before he could really devour this cold Qi.
Now he had the Black Demon Flame, White Bone Flame and Bone Prison Qi. If he could acquire the Black Yin Qi in the future, his body would have four kinds of Heavenly Frosty Earth Fire. If he was able to fully refine all of these flames and Qi, his power would be enough to surpass a Nascent Soul cultivator even before he reached that realm.
“I think I would have to find a time to practice the Black Devil Art and Snow Treading Art, and also the Yin Yang Transformation to unlock the second layer of ability. It will require me to gather flames and pluck Nascent Soul females. Flames is not really a concern but it is hard to catch Nascent Soul cauldrons. I have alreadyplaced all of my hopes on the Yin Yang Locket with regards to my future cultivation path.”
If there was no Yin Yang Locket, he wouldn’t be able to capture formidable female cultivators that were as pretty as a flower and jade. Without the locket, he wouldn’t be able to absorb the Heavenly Cold Qi and the Earth Vein Flame. Without the locket, he wouldn’t be able to coincidentally decipher the Heavenly Emperor Remnant Volume.
Ning Fan didn’t know what abilities were placed in the second layer of the Yin Yang Locket, but he knew a little about the abilities in third layer after his conversation with the mysterious girl.
Once the abilities in the third layer were unlocked, he would be able to use the Magical Treasure Space and save the mysterious girl from the Profound Yin World.
There were too many ways to improve his strength, but he knew that the most fundamental thing was to improve one’s magical realm. He was still a late Harmonious Spirit cultivator. Magical realm was harder to advance compared to spirit sense. There was no shortcut in the cultivation path. He was afraid that breaking through into the Gold Core magical realm needed at least ten years of tough seclusion.
There seemed to be another reward – his accumulated contribution points.
After killing lots of ghosts and eliminating the Green Clan, his accumulated contribution points had reached 2.15 million. He didn’t have any idea how shocked the entire Sinister Sparrow Sect was.
Contribution points could be exchanged for magical treasures and pills. With so many points, he had no idea what items to exchange. What if he exchanged it for the Black Yin Qi?
He twitched his eyes. He could discuss this matter with the sect master as soon as he returned.
There was still half a day more before he left. It was time to bid farewell to those girls.
He walked quietly towards the Green River. The sable and the two girls remained silent at the river bank as though they had already sensed Ning Fan’s departure. Mu Weiliang looked somewhat listless. Ning Honghong’s expression remained unchanged but her brows frowned slightly, showing that she wasn’t emotionally unaffected.
As for the small sable, its eyes brimmed with mixed emotions. The Life-and-Death Spell was dissipating. After that, she, Mei Chen would no longer have anything to do with Ning Fan.
The ghosts of the Demon Sinister Forest couldn’t leave the forest or else, they would immediately turn into ashes. Perhaps a female ghost could be brought out of the forest through Cauldron Ring, but once the female ghost left the Cauldron Ring, she would immediately disintegrated.
“I’m leaving, what’s your plan in the future?” Ning Fan asked softly.
“I’m going to the Purple Clan. I have decided that once I restore to my peak form, I will fight the Bone Emperor again.” It seemed like Mei Chen’s courage was affected by Ning Fan’s boldness.
“Sister Honghong and I will return to the Red Clan.” Mu Weiliang murmured.
“I see… By the way, let me show you all something.”
