Who Would Be Plucked?
early High Rank Magical Treasure > low grade High Rank Magical Treasure
After the two girls were done with their deed, Ning Fan kept them in his Cauldron Ring to avoid revealing any information about the two cauldrons.
The night was quiet. He tensed from time to time and felt the extreme fatigue after a month of struggle.
He lounged in the bath barrel filled with petals and water prepared by Bai Xiu. The petals were called ‘Jade Wingceltis’. It could help alleviate the fatigue of a cultivator, but it was relatively expensive, not even Harmonious Spirit elders could use it.
So, it was unexpected that Bai Xiu would prepare such an expensive barrel of bath water for him. It seemed like his status in the sect had skyrocketed after obtaining 2,150,000 contribution points.
The fortunate thing was that no one believed that he was able to kill Gold Core experts, but his tremendous points had earned him the title of ‘The First Man below Gold Core realm’ and also ‘The Harmonious Spirit Killer’.
A youth just became famous due to accumulated reputation. To put it bluntly, Ning Fan was no longer be as low key as before, he was now under the watchful eyes of many people.
“If I can get those Spirit Refining Grass and learn the first art of Divine Art Chant – Body Art Chant, I can camouflage my cultivation base, appearance and identity using my peak Gold Core spirit sense.No one below Nascent Soul realm would be able to see through my disguise. In this way, I will be able to steal the Black Yin Qi or kill people using an unknown identity.”
His eyes turned cold. He naturally wouldn’t forget the plot of Extreme Yin Gate. If it wasn’t because of his Divination Technique foreseeing their ambush ahead at that time, he would most likely be dead given that so many Gold Core experts were lying in wait for him.
He slowly exhaled, calming down his mood, buried his head into the bath water in silence.
………….
On the other hand, Wang Yao…
Ning Fan…Let me see whether you are the person I’m looking for.
Both his hands gestured as he spoke out incantations. His palms turned into a gruesome white bone claw. In the next second, the piece of glossy rib bone inside Ning Fan’s storage pouch shone.
“So, he is the one! Good! Once this body has broken through the Nascent Soul realm, I’m going to pulverize you brutally!”
Wang Yao sneered and then returned to his stony expression. A trace of white bone light shone under his feet before he flew straight through the grand formation out of the Inner Sect. No one would believe that he had such a queer method.
Moreover, no one would know that it was Wang Yao who annihilated the three clans across Yue Country.
He had devoured all the corpses he killed to advance his cultivation. His main objective right now was to restore his Nascent Soul realm, because he noticed that there were quite a number of Gold Core experts in Sinister Sparrow Sect. As such, only by having the Nascent Soul strength could he take his revenge on Ning Fan under the noses of all those experts.
…
A sense of uneasiness aroused in Ning Fan’s heart. He got out of the bath barrel and waved his hand to summon the white bone in his storage pouch, however, he saw that it was still lying quietly like an inanimate object, which puzzled him.
“Could it be just my delusion? No, I have to divine it just in case.”
He calculated it with his fingers. A moment later, his face overflowed with surprise, anger and some bewilderment, he discovered that someone was plotting against him but he couldn’t find out who the person was. The person might have a cultivation base way higher than his, which explained why his magical strength wasn’t able to calculate this person’s identity.
He took a deep breath and his eyes glittered with a cold light. After getting dressed, he took the piece of short bone and muttered.
“Bone Emperor, were you that someone?”
Of all the enemies he had, the enemies who were far stronger than him were only the Bone Emperor in the Seventh Region of Demon Sinister Forest and the Demon World’s Godly Emperor – Moksha Emperor.
Moksha Emperor would never come to Rain Immortal World until 100 years later, and Bone Emperor wouldn’t be able to leave Demon Sinister Forest, but still, there were some unsettling feeling in his heart.
“I need to be extra careful. I can’t keep this bone in the storage pouch for the time being.”
With a wave, he kept the white bone into his Cauldron Ring. At this instant, Wang Yao, who was thousands of miles away massacring clans of cultivators, had a twitch on his face.
“Humph. What a vigilant brat! I have only used the Bone Seeking Technique for a brief moment. However, you absolutely won’t know that I’m Wang Yao and you certainly won’t escape your fated death.”
Ning Fan, on the other hand, realized that he couldn’t be careless even after he had left Demon Sinister Forest. This feeling of uneasiness made him lose interest in having a relaxing bath.
There were many things that required power. He needed power to cure his master—the Old Devil. He needed power to defeat Moksha Emperor. And even after he ascend to the Four Heavens Immortal World, he would also need power to deal with the countless of Fiendgod descendants.
Apart from everything else, the enemy he was going to face in a hundred years’ time was the Demon World’s Godly Emperor – Moksha Emperor.
“There is no time to waste. Tomorrow, after patronizing those old experts, I will concoct the Consolidating Spirit Pill and break through to the peak Harmonious Spirit realm.”
He could break through to the peak Harmonious Spirit realm by swallowing pills, but there were still two extremely difficult stages to break through after that, which was the False Core realm, then the Gold Core realm. Although he wouldn’t encounter any bottlenecks because of the knowledge he got from the Immortal Emperor’s memory, he would need at least ten years’ time of bitter cultivation to break through to the Gold Core realm.
This was after all the Cultivation World. Despite him having countless of shortcuts and help, he couldn’t achieve everything in a single night.
Currently, he was sitting cross-legged on the bed while Bing Ling and Yue Ling’s body fluid was trickling down between their legs, emitting a trace of delicate scent, but it didn’t concern him at all. His current state of mind was as still as a rock. Yin Yang Transformation was a technique that would strengthen one’s mental state, because in Dual Cultivation, an indifferent state of mind was the most needed requirement.
Before using any Enchanting Art on others, he must first embrace it without dread.
He adjusted his magical force and executed Zhoutian[1]. Despite the effect being slow, he would still spend every last bit of time he had to cultivate.
All of a sudden, he opened his eyes as if he had sensed something unusual.
There was a movement in the Spirit Grand Formation outside the courtyard. Someone had come, and that person didn’t come alone.
“They are so reckless.”
A cold smile was revealed at the corner of his mouth. The grand formation that he deployed wasn’t a defensive one, it was a tracking formation. No one except Bai Xiu would be able to notice it.
The intruders were a group of females with pretty faces, but there was one of them who had cold beady eyes.
The one leading the group was a girl dressed in green. She had the same facial features as Bai Xiu, but she looked brighter than her sister.
She was Bai Lu—the early Harmonious Spirit female disciple who plotted against all the previous elders of Dual Cultivation Palace.
“Sister, how do we deal with this Ning Fan?” A woman in black asked. She looked 27 or 28 years old, elegant and cold-looking.
“Hehe, either kill him or leave him for us to play with?” Another girl in purple gauze said lasciviously. Her breasts were bulging out of her thin cloth.
Both girls had the same cultivation base—Tenth Level Vein Opening—which was enough for them to become deacon disciples in Sinister Sparrow Sect, but they chose to serve Bai Lu in Dual Cultivation Palace.
