- Chapter 171 2 (2/2)

Only cold qi of the fifth grade and above were named as Heavenly Cold Qi… This item was priceless!

If the others knew that he possessed it, there would be a lot of people interested and try to seize it from him.

Is the King really being nice to me? If it was given by the King out of good intentions, Ning Fan would try to forget the misunderstanding between them.

However, Ning Fan felt that the gift wasn’t something good at all.

It was as if he was drawing more troubles to Ning Fan. It would trigger some people’s greed to snatch it from him.

As his cultivation realm increased, he gradually realized that he couldn’t be like his master, displaying the Black Demon Flame everywhere.

His master was able to do that because even the ‘Big Shot’ of Rain World showed him respect. No one dared to snatch it from it.

My situation is much different from my master. Not many people know that I am the disciple of the Old Devil. If I keep displaying the Heavenly Cold Qi or Earth Flame without caution, I would certainly receive the attention from the enemies lurking in the dark.

It won’t be a serious matter to display the Black Demon Flame once in a while in a low-grade cultivation country. However, there were a lot of strong experts in a middle-grade cultivation country. Moreover, the Spirit Severing Realm Demon General seemed to be keen on getting it… That was the reason why Ning Fan didn’t reveal his Fire Element Cultivation Method when he was tested earlier. He showed the opposite, which was Ice Element Cultivation Method. He was afraid of exposing the fact that he possessed the Black Demon Flame.

Currently, it appeared that the King had the intention of getting Ning Fan into troubles.

If the King wants to cause trouble for me, he wouldn’t keep it as a secret after this item lands into my hands.

If I am not mistaken, there would be a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator coming to ask for the Heavenly Cold Qi after a while.

I would of course be fine if I obediently hand the item over to the cultivator. Furthermore, I might be able to get a favourable impression from him.

However, I might appear to have no harm on the surface but my Heart of Dao would suffer great damage.

My Heart of Dao was not giving in to others. If I am forced to hand over this item, it shows that I submit myself.

Is that the ultimate intention of the King?

Ning Fan wasn’t certain on his assumption. It’s easy to find out the truth!

He left the inn and spread his spirit sense all over the area, covering the entire Quwo City.

At the next moment, he could eavesdrop on the conversations and gossips from the restaurants and residences.

“Have you heard? Old Ancestor Zhou Ming received the approval of our King and will become one of the Seven Commanders. He’s going to take over Xun Ri’s position who was also known as the ‘Water Commander’ that died in the line of duty.

“Who doesn’t know about this?! Did you also know that Old Ancestor Zhou Ming not only got Xun Ri’s post, but also obtained Xun Ri’s treasure!”

“What?! Is there really something like this?! What’s the treasure?!”

“Heavenly Cold Qi! Cold Pine Essence!”

“Aiya! It’s weird. This item is always wanted by Revered Snow, one of the Revered Elders of Rain Palace, isn’t it? Could it be that Revered Snow didn’t want it anymore?”

…

Ning Fan withdrew his spirit sense and his eyes turned cold.

If the King held good intentions, it would be impossible for him to spread the news all around which would cause troubles for me.

From the conversation earlier, Ning Fan found out that Cold Pine Essence was owned by the late Xun Ri. Besides, Revered Snow of Rain Palace took fancy to it.

Ning Fan didn’t know who Revered Snow was. He presumed that it must be a Spirit Severing Realm Revered Elder. It was because only Spirit Severing Realm cultivators could be addressed using the word ‘Revered’ in Rain Palace!

“Sure enough, the King wants to take revenge on me for crushing his Dominating Intent. He now wants to destroy my Unyielding Intent.. Revered Snow, Spirit Severing Realm… It was indeed a ‘huge’ gift from the King. Does he really think that I, Ning Fan, dare not to receive?!”
