Chapter 216 (1/2)
Treasure of the Cosmos. Yuan Yao Jade.
Everyone retreated. Even so, Lu Qing was still worried as he was afraid that Ning Fan would expose even more shocking news that would humiliate the Mistress.
However, the Mistress seemed to be unaffected…
Even so, Lu Qing was still a Spirit Severing Realm old monster. He might be feeling worried, but he did not look flustered at all. Instead, he wore a calm expression with a happy smile. With a flick of his sleeve, two cups of spiritual tea were brewed for Ning Fan and the female corpse.
“Hehe. Fellow Daoist Zhou, have some tea.”
“This tea is good… You used spiritual mist as water in brewing the ten thousand-year-old tea leaf, Bi Luo. A sip of this tea can raise a considerable amount of magic power equivalent to cultivating for half a year,” said Ning Fan after he took a sip of it.
When the female corpse placed her lips on the edge of the cup, her brows knitted together.
“Light…Hot…”
“Don’t be afraid.”
Ning Fan lifted his finger and conjured some ice crystals from the above. As the tea came into contact with the ice crystals, it immediately turned cold. The female corpse beamed at Ning Fan and no longer complained about the hotness of the tea.
Indirectly, Lu Qing was inwardly surprised by Ning Fan’s technique.
If he was not mistaken, that cold qi summoned from Ning Fan’s finger belonged to a combination of two Heavenly Cold Qi: the Cold Pine Essence and the Bone Prison Qi.
He actually has two types of Heavenly Cold Qi!
The grand Fifth Grade Cold Qi which all Spirit Severing Realm experts yearned is being used to cool down the tea for a woman…
Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were able to display the techniques of the five elements. As such, devouring spiritual flames and cold qi at the same time was not odd at all.
However, there was an exception for the Heavenly Cold Qi and Earth Flames. When the spiritual flames and cold qi are of the Fifth Grade, it was nearly impossible for Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to devour them.
Even experts at Spirit Severing Realm had to be very careful when devouring just one type of those.
This kid is really hard to predict.
Lu Qing knew it was not difficult for him to devour a type of Earth Vein Demonic Flame as his cultivation method was based on the fire element. Devouring the second type of flame at that grade would be dangerous for him but not impossible. But he could never devour any type of Heavenly Cold Qi.
As for Bei Xiaoman, she unhappily snorted. Obviously, she disliked Ning Fan’s show of “affection”.
To whom you are pretending to show off?
The devil lord who is widely known for his ruthlessness is trying to act gentle towards a woman? Hmmph! It’s just an act to trick the woman and gain her affection. Afterwards, he’s just going to lure her to the bed and do the “things” that he wants.
A man who does not know shame… A pervert… You, Devil Lord Zhou’s ulterior motives is as clear as day to me. Every man is like this, just like what mum has told me!
Lu Qing had even more respect towards Ning Fan. On the contrary, Bei Xiaoman despised the latter even more.
Lu Qing cackled and filled their cups full with spiritual tea and changed the topic.
“A straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. I’m truly grateful that Fellow Daoist Zhou were able to eliminate Bei He and his men… I heard that Fellow Daoist Zhou wants to become the official pill master of our Lost World Palace. It is a simple matter. You can even become the tower master of the northern, western and eastern towers. I just have a word for you. Fellow Daoist should know what special benefits and treatment in being a tower master, shouldn’t you?”
“Of course I know. After becoming the tower master, all the spiritual herbs below the age of five thousand can be used anytime. The tower master can also receive ten units of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs! Other than that, the tower master is allowed to read or imprint any pill recipe for pills below the Fifth Revolution as he pleases! If the tower master needs any pills, he can assign quests on the Lost World Palace for others to refine…”
Ning Fan took another sip and grinned, “If it was not because of the perks, I would not have killed the three of them to dominate the three towers.”
“Fellow Daoist Zhou really knows how to joke. Even if you don’t kill the three tower masters, it would only need a word from me to make you the master of the three towers just for your identity as a Fifth Revolution pill master.” Besides, I can even grant your wishes if you have any. But I just have one request from you. Please don’t spread the issue of Mistress’ purity around. Of course, I will make those who heard it just now to keep their mouths shut. If Fellow Daoist promises me, I will not just grant you the position of the tower master of the three towers, but also the Green Phoenix Flame…”
He paused. He seemed to be experiencing a struggle in his thoughts. However, he gritted his teeth and said, “I will also present to you the Green Phoenix Flame myself!”
“For real?”
“I am a man of my words!”
As the elderly and the young experts were about to finish their discussions with just exchanging a few words, Bei Xiaoman felt utterly dissatisfied.
For what reason?! For what reason can this shameless Zhou Ming be the tower master of the three towers while I, Bei Xiaoman, the dignified Fourth Mistress from the Northern Heaven, am only the master of one tower?!
Why must the Green Phoenix Flame be given to him?! Although I, Bei Xiaoman, am not using it, he does not deserve it!
*Bang*
Bei Xiaoman’s delicate hand slammed on the table beside her and stood up.
“Lu Qing! Leave us! Let me handle him!”
Er….
Lu Qing was stunned.
After spending so much effort to get Ning Fan’s promise for not spreading the scandal around, the Mistress was now trying to cause another trouble for him.
Can’t she understand that I am actually doing this for her own good?! I have even promised to give out the Green Phoenix Flame for her!
“Lu Qing! I order you to leave now!”
“This…”
