Chapter 347.1 (1/2)

Yang Gu Knelt Down

After just one single night, the news of Ning Fan’s return had spread all over the External Endless Sea with formidable speed.

As for the Alliance of Ming Assassins from the Ying State Immortal Island, when they heard that Ning Fan had reached the Divine Transformation Realm, at least 30% of the forces broke away from the alliance and ended their relationship with the alliance.

They were already afraid of Ning Fan’s fearsome reputation and they could not even imagine how brutal he would be after attaining the Divine Transformation Realm.

However, these were something to be talked about later.

The Sparrow Raising Platform had already been renovated. Twenty years ago, a killing tribulation happened here with Ning Fan being the main reason. Twenty years later, the snow here continued to fall like before but the people who used to be here were already gone.

Above the copper platform, Ning Fan sat around a fire stove with Dong Xu, Xu Rushan, Yan Zhongze and the other experts, chatting while drinking warm wine. Their conversations were mostly about the occurrences and changes that had happened in the External Endless Sea. Xu Rushan and Yan Zhongze tried to ask Ning Fan about what he had gone through within these twenty years, but he did not speak a single word about it. Everyone was sensible and no longer asked about it anymore.

Xu Qiuling was behaving like a lovely newly-married wife as she sat beside Ning Fan and heated the wine for him with a sweet and obedient look.

Yu Long who was behind Ning Fan was looking at him with eyes filled with admiration and zeal.

At the time he was being kept by Ning Fan as a slave, he complained endlessly about his fate. Currently, however, it seemed like being able to become Ning Fan’s follower was indeed the greatest thing that had ever happened to him in his entire lifetime.

Now, his master was already not an ordinary man but a Divine Transformation Realm old ancestor, a man who could drink wine at the same table with the Venerated Seven of the Internal Endless Sea!

The wine they drank was a spiritual wine named ‘Drunken Past’ which was fermented by Dong Xu with one hundred types of flowers. It was famous for its immensely strong alcohol. Anyone with poor magic power would definitely be unable to drink much. For Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, drinking one single drop of the wine would cause them to be drunk for one month. As for the old ancestors of the Early Divine Transformation Realm, they could at most drink ten bottles.

After gulping down the eleventh bottle, Xu Rushan and Yan Zhongze successively left with wry smiles. They must instantly return to have a secluded meditation to refine the alcohol of the wine. Otherwise, they would be drunk for an entire month.

After they left, Yu Long also obtained permission from Ning Fan to return to the Profound Jade Palace to rest. On the Sparrow Raising Platform, only Ning Fan and Dong Xu were left. They continued to drink with each other’s company.

From night until dawn, both of them did not get drunk at all.

This made Xu Qiuling inwardly surprised. She already has infinitely overvalued Ning Fan’s capabilities, but she never expected that Ning Fan would be able to drink together with her Half-Step Void Refinement Realm master all night long with their drinking capacity coming out even.

Ning Fan lazily flicked his sleeve to cover his face as he yawned in drowsiness. Xu Qiuling stared at him and gradually became obsessed with him.

Twenty years… Twenty years of waiting all for tonight. It’s worth it…

All ten jugs of the Drunken Past Wine were emptied. Dong Xu lost his desire for drinking and returned to rest after letting out a hearty laughter.

Meanwhile, Ning Fan kept the storage pouch that Dong Xu gave. With a sway of his magic power, the feeling of intoxication and his drunkenness disappeared.

“What treasures did my master give you?” Xu Qiuling’s eyes blinked.

“Some spiritual puppets, pills, immortal jade, treasures of Immortal's Abode… Mm… Of course there are some insights on the refinement of Immortal’s Abode treasures… Your master said that these are the dowry for you…”

Ning Fan rose up from his seat and comfortably stretched his waist. His bones gave out crisp sounds like crushing beans, shaking off the snow from his shoulders.

Even though his tone was relaxed, what Dong Xu gave him was absolutely exorbitant. They were all the benefits he promised to give Ning Fan in the past.

For the Treasures of Immortal’s Abode, there were one thousand of them and each of these treasures could be sold for more than one million immortal jade.

Then, there were 17 Divine Transformation Realm spiritual puppets with 10 of them being at the Early Divine Transformation Realm, 4 at the Mid Divine Transformation Realm, 2 at the Late Divine Transformation Realm and 1 at the Peak Divine Transformation Realm.

In terms of pills, Ning Fan received 50 bottles of Profound Primordial Pills which were Peak Fourth Revolution pills. Each bottle contained 20 pellets and each pellet could increase a Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator’s magic power by 1 unit.

Besides that, there was also the Profound Heart of Mother Earth. It was handed to Ning Fan by Dong Xu on behalf of Xu Rushan.

These things were definitely of great value. Regarding Dong Xu’s kindness, Ning Fan would definitely keep it in his heart.

“I will certainly cure Qiuling, you can all be rest assured.”

Ning Fan seemed to be talking to the snow, but he knew that Xu Rushan and Dong Xu were both waiting for his assurance.

While Ning Fan was performing telepathic communication towards the snow, a pink ‘message transmitting paper butterfly’ flew across the drifting snow and landed on Xu Qiuling’s palm.

She placed her finger on the butterfly and could not help but burst into laughter right afterwards, as if some kind of message had been transmitted into her spirit sense.

“What are you laughing at? Hmm? This telepathy paper butterfly looks rather delicate. You specially made it yourself?”

Ning Fan’s eyes moved. Among the low-ranked cultivators in the Endless Sea, there was one popular kind of message transmitting paper. It could be folded into a paper man, paper crane, paper butterfly, paper tiger or other forms to send out messages.

“Yes, it's a message from Xiao Lian. She has just told me something funny and I couldn't help but laugh.”

Xu Qiuling then tied up her long glossy hair together. Her ethereal temperament was like an elegant orchid amidst an empty valley.
