Chapter 204 2 (2/2)

One thing that troubled him was Ning Fan’s bone age. There was no mistake. Ning Fan was three hundred and forty years old. But three hundred years ago when he was still at Yue Country, he had not heard of a heavenly prodigy called “Zhou Ming”...

Anyway, it was not something he could surmise after all.

The auction would still be forced to end early because of Ning Fan who was going to buy out every item that was to be auctioned if the Xiang Clan did not come to cause trouble. However, their presence was quite advantageous to Ning Fan. After multiple experts from Xiang Clan were killed in battle, no one dared to be so ignorant to oppose Ning Fan in possessing all the Nascent Soul Realm cauldrons and Dao Fruit himself.

“The auction is over. Any person who have nothing to do with the Pill Cauldron Gate shall leave Mo Nan City immediately! I, Zhou Ming, want to enter into secluded meditation here. Every Nascent Soul Realm expert who stay here will be regarded as allies of the Xiang Clan! None of you will be spared! Black Armor, kill them!”

The next moment, Ning Fan spread his sword sense and swept the entire place! Meanwhile, he released the black refined corpse which wore a black armor!

Countless Gold Core and Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivators of the Xiang Clan who were still guarding outside the city fell in battle when the dark sword sense engulfed them! Those who survived by luck would be peeled and eaten alive by the black corpse!

*sucks in cold breath* This Zhou Ming has sword sense and a Nascent Soul Realm refined corpse too!

He wants us to leave! I think we better leave for good!

No one dared to disregard Ning Fan’s order even though they were at the Nascent Soul Realm too… Although they might have come for nothing as they haven’t gotten anything from the auction, the extreme battle still managed to open their eyes to the absolute power at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm level. Each and every one of the Nascent Soul Realm experts forced a smile on their faces and cupped their fists towards Ning Fan before leaving!

In the Endless Sea, only the strongest experts would be respected!

This could be reflected especially when the three Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts left their room wearing skin-deep smiles and praised Ning Fan with great ceremony with the intention to create positive impressions before they left.

“Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming really has astounding means! I’m Liu Wei, a rogue cultivator in the External Endless Sea. If Fellow Daoist is free in the future, you are welcome to visit the Empty Island. We can enjoy spiritual tea together.”

“Admirable, admirable! This poor monk is Xuan Jizi. I am a Feudal Ranking Elder of the Heaven Exploration Sect which is one of the top ten sect. If Fellow Daoist happens to visit Heaven Exploration Immortal Island next time, just let me know. I’ll definitely make sure the sect is spick and span when you come!”

“Hehe. Fellow Daoist Zhou has good skills! I am Lim Sushan. I am a member of the Lim Clan in the Internal Endless Sea. If Fellow Daoist comes to the Internal Endless Sea, remember to visit my place…”

Ning Fan just lightly nodded his head to respond to their formalities.

Tens of breaths later, the entire Mo Nan City became empty. Not a single shadow of a foreign cultivator could be found staying in the city, other than the members of the Pill Cauldron Sect and… the innumerable corpses of the Xiang Clan cultivators.

Ling Guiku was full of questions. He wanted to have a conversation with Ning Fan. But Ning Fan did not give him the chance to speak.

“Fellow Daoist Ling, please prepare a safe place for me to stay. I am exhausted. I need a place to take a good rest.”

“This…Yes!” Ling Guiku had no guts to utter any unnecessary words.

Resting was just a façade. In fact, he intended to remove the needle that was still within his body. Although it was now temporarily controlled by the Yin Yang Locket, it would still bring danger to him if he did not expel it right away…

A Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert should never be underestimated. If he did not have Stone Warrior by his side, he might still be able to defeat Xiang Liao but he could never finish him off.

Besides, he would have been seriously injured or died under the sneak attack of the needle without the protection of the Yin Yang Locket.

Unlucky for Xiang Liao, Ning Fan had the help of Stone Warrior. It would be futile to run away from Ning Fan.

However, Ning Fan did not show the presence of Stone Warrior before anyone’s eyes. It was because he didn’t want to attract attention from the Lost World Palace. If the Lost World Palace figured out that the disappearance of Stone Warrior was related to Ning Fan, he would bring himself another unwanted trouble, though he was not afraid at all.

He was a person who disliked troubles.

Throughout his journey to Mo Nan, despite the setbacks he encountered, the overall outcome was good.

The human cauldrons are now in my hands. The Dao Fruit is in my hands too. After Stone Warrior returns, I will adjust my body’s condition to its peak state. Then, I’ll pluck the newly bought females and break through to the Mid Nascent Soul Realm!

“Mid Nascent Soul Realm! It’s slightly beyond my anticipations to achieve this stage so quickly!”

Ning Fan’s eyes sparkled with hope but at the same time, he had worries deep inside.

My cultivation realm increases too fast. My state of mind is not able to catch up with it… Increasing the level of the state of mind is a troublesome matter after all.

State of mind… It would be good if I have Min Luo Fruits now… Min Luo Fruits… I wonder how the little girl, Bright Sparrow is doing…

…

In the Ying Country, a small little girl hopped on a Fourth Grade Immortal Cloud while hugging a shaggy soft silver ball. A few Nascent Soul Realm rain beasts followed beside her.

When Ning Fan thought of her, she unconsciously sneezed.

“Aiyaya. It must be grandpa scolding me again… Hmmph! But no worries! Grandpa can never leave the Dark Sparrow’s Grave and certainly he would not be able to catch up with me, let alone whack my butt! Since I have so many rain babies to protect me, I don’t think something bad will happen. I want to go to the island that I dreamt of. I want to understand what ‘Si Cang[2]’ is. I wonder if it’s a delicious biscuit… Why would I dream of her every day…”
