Dark Sparrow’s Grave and the Pill Devil Girl?
Black Yin Qi > Profound Yin Qi
Inside the Dan Palace, Xue Qing closed his eyes, letting Ning Fan take full control over his life by planting a restrictive spell on him.
He knew that he had discovered Ning Fan’s secret and had even guessed that Ning Fan was the prominent Black Devil Ning. Among the devil cultivators, it was a great taboo to pry into other people’s secret.
Therefore, he volunteered to hand over his life and become Ning Fan’s disciple.
He was considered a well-known figure across the entire Yue Country, so would he suffer any loss by being the disciple of a young man? No he wouldn’t!
After a few days of contact, he found out that Ning Fan was not only an easy-going superior, but also a generous master. Take Nan Wei for example, Ning Fan had just given him the unparalleled pill of Yue Country—Profound Spirit Pill!
Ning Fan might be ruthless towards his enemies, but he didn’t have the slightest stinginess towards his own people. Xue Qing had already lived for several hundred years and had seen through countless of people. He believed that he wasn’t wrong about Ning Fan. He also believed that the Old Devil must be quite satisfied to have recruited Ning Fan as his disciple.
It might seem dangerous to hand over his life to Ning Fan, but after a moment of contemplation, as long as he didn’t offend Ning Fan too much, there wouldn’t be a trace of danger.
Moreover, he would be able to acquire Ning Fan’s full set of concoction technique which would aid him in breaking through to the Fourth Revolution or even the Fifth Revolution Master!
Yes, Xue Qing was no doubt highly ambitious in the Dao of Alchemy. He hoped to achieve the peak of the Dao of Alchemy one day! Thus, despite the universal condemnation, he used his naked eyes to watch the formation of pills under the lid of the cauldron.
This was a very dangerous act because violent energy would be emitted during the concoction of the pill. A single carelessness would blind his eyes, but he was a stubborn man.
In order to further improve his concoction technique, he first needed to improve his master’s concoction technique. So, he had obediently handed over an ancient pill scroll which he had treasured for many years, and provided Ning Fan a trace of the pill devil.
“What? The Profound Yin Qi was at the Dark Sparrow’s Grave and the pill devil is over there as well?!”
“It’s true, master. This old man has seen it with my own eyes. I’m afraid that even Sect Master doesn’t know about this.”
“Then why are you telling me this?”
“It’s because you are my master. Hehe! If you kill that pill devil, you will get its pill and you would usually share some of the benefits to your disciple. Master, I’m counting on you for this.” Xue Qing smiled cunningly.
Ning Fan’s hand was holding a tattered ancient scroll as he asked Xue Qing about the matter of the pill devil.
The ancient scroll seemed to be left behind by a Fifth Revolution Pill Master. Inside the scroll was the records of various kinds of ancient pills. Apart from all of the pills he knew, there was one Fourth Revolution body refining pill that was used by a fiendgod named—Yellow Turban Pill. According to the legend, it was a secret pill used by the Ancient Heavenly Court to nurture Yellow Turban Warriors. At least, this was a pill that was unknown to Ancient Chaos. As such, it was a sheer fluke that he was able to get the recipe of this pill.
Although the Yellow Turban Pill wasn’t comparable to the Jade Royal Pill, it was still considered as a precious pill. If this pill would be concocted and consumed, Ning Fan was confident that he would be able to break through into the true Silver Bone realm. By that time, his physical attack would be strong enough to fight a Nascent Soul expert!
The only pity was that the main ingredient of making this pill was missing—the Fire Maple Fruit. Although this fruit had already appeared in Yue Country once, it now was lost again.
He failed to realize that his Ning City was currently located on the land of Fire Maple Trees. He set aside the matter of the Yellow Turban Pill and pondered over another thing—the pill devil!
Xue Qing told him that there was a pill devil in Sinister Sparrow Sect. It had transformed into a humanoid and has deadly physical attack. According to Xue Qing, the power of its punch was enough to kill a Gold Core elder. And this pill devil was currently at the first secret ground of Sinister Sparrow Sect, the Dark Sparrow’s Graves.
In the legends, there was once a Dark Sparrow that had fallen into the Dark Sparrow Valley. He could recall it from Ancient Chaos’s memory that the Dark Sparrow was a True Spirit. Its strength was equivalent to a True Immortal and was enough to fight a True Dragon and Phoenix.
The reason that the old ancestor, named Que Shenzi, who was now in the Four Heavens Immortal World established this sect was mostly because of the fallen Dark Sparrow in this place.
Thirty thousand meters below the Dark Sparrow Valley was the Dark Sparrow’s Grave. There were a total of nine levels. The surroundings of the grave was filled with nourishing Yin force that could double the speed of evil cultivation. To put it bluntly, the main factor that the whole Sinister Sparrow Sect was covered with gloomy fog and spiritual Qi wasn’t related to the earth vein, but the corpse of the True Spirit Dark Sparrow that was buried in this land!
The remains of the Dark Sparrow was buried below the ninth floor and was protected by the True Immortal realm seal planted by Que Shenzi. There was once a Void Fragmentation old expert who wanted to seize the bone away, but he even failed to enter the seventh level.
As for the Profound Yin Qi that Ning Fan had been longing for, it was currently hidden below the fifth floor. However, it was hidden very covertly because not even the Void Fragmentation expert could find it.
There were only a few Sinister Sparrow’s higher ups who had the permission to enter the dark grave for cultivation because one of the condition was to swear a great heart devil’s oath—to never betray Sinister Sparrow Sect and never tell the secrets of the Dark Grave to an outsider!
As for the pill devil, it had only been discovered in the recent few dozen years. Plus, no one else knew about this except Xue Qing.
