Chapter 347.2 (2/2)

At this moment, he was placing his focus on the sublimation happening within his state of mind. Then, a sound like a cocoon breaking was heard and the green qi all over his body suddenly flickered with light rays. The intensity of the color of green grew deeper and began to change gradually into color of xuan*(玄).

Xuan (玄) means black.

His pill refinement techniques successfully advanced into the middle stage of Fifth Revolution Realm!

“*Puff*… Finally, my pill refinement realm has improved!” Ning Fan’s eyes were filled with joy.

The advancement in his pill refinement realm this time was of great significance.

This time, it was his first time achieving a breakthrough in his pill refinement realm based on his own effort after his pill refinement techniques that were inherited from Emperor Ancient Chaos reached their limit.

This meant that as long as Ning Yan continued to work hard, he could definitely be a grandmaster with his talent!

“Young Master Zhou, you've had a long day. Do you need me to prepare some bath water for you?” Xu Qiuling was unable to restrain herself from giving a chuckle.

The current Ning Fan’s face had been stained with grime and ashes after spending one month non-stop in concocting pills, making him look just like a young master fleeing from his subjugated country.

Why was he not being described as a beggar but a young master running away from his perished country?

Well, this was because within Xu Qiuling’s heart, Ning Fan still had an unyielding determination no matter how down-and-out he was. As long as that determination remains within him, even if he flees from country to country and travels for nineteen years, he would still be a young master, but not a beggar!

“Are you willing to bathe with me?” Ning Fan teased again.

“If you dare, then I won’t cower!” Xu Qiuling still remained as decisive as she was.

*Thud*

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground interrupted the conversation between Ning Fan and Xu Qiuling. It turned out to be the sound of Yang Gu’s knees landing to the ground. He was kneeling before Ning Fan and kowtowed to him.

“Daoist Zhou… No, Revered Ming, please accept me as your apprentice!”

Yang Gu’s eyes flashed with determination. He had a hunch that Ning Fan would become a pill master who would surpass Venerated Pill in the future. Moreover, he even believed that Ning Fan could become the next ‘Pill Emperor’ who is the strongest pill master in the Rain World!

“Uhh…”

Ning Fan looked stunned for a moment, feeling rather speechless about the man in front of him.

Why do maniacs who are obsessed with pill refinement like to acknowledge me as their master?

Keeping Xue Qing can still help me look after the base and refine pills, providing a continuous supply of pills for the Three Divine Armies of Black Devil. But what is the use of keeping Yang Gu as my apprentice?

“Daoist Yang, acknowledging a master is a serious matter. You must consider it carefully before making up your mind…”

“Revered Ming, please give me an opportunity. Even if I have to start from just becoming a titular apprentice, I will also not refuse! I know Revered Ming likes to travel around and dislike your apprentice following you. You can be rest assured that I will take care of myself and won’t cause any trouble for you! There is one hundred million immortal jade here. This is a small token of appreciation from me to thank Revered Ming for keeping me as an apprentice!”

Yang Gu was very nervous. In his whole life, it was his second time kneeling down to someone and his first time acknowledging someone as his master.

The first time he knelt down was a few thousand years ago. At that time, he was kneeling before his parents’ graves. After that incident, he then left his war-torn homeland, leaving the kingdom of mortals and beginning the path of cultivation…

“What are the benefits that I can get from accepting you as my apprentice?” Ning Fan’s words sounded very materialistic but they were the truth.

In the world of cultivation, if it was not for a deep relationship, what’s the point of doing something that brings no benefits at all?

“If Master keeps me as your apprentice, I can recommend Master to join the Pill Island and become a feudal ranking elder of the island. Besides, I can also help Master obtain the chance to enter the Soul Washing Pond. If Master can enter the pond, Master’s medicine soul will certainly be improved to a great extent, greatly enhancing Master’s pill refinement techniques. Furthermore, it is very likely that Master’s pill refinement realm can break through to the high stage of the Fifth Revolution!”

Yang Gu made another bow and his expression looked extremely sincere.

As a disciple, it is a must to show filial piety to the master. In order to acknowledge Ning Fan as his master, giving him gifts was definitely a must.

He was extremely nervous inwardly as this matter concerned his Dao of Alchemy in his entire lifetime.

He had asked himself for a thousand times. If he misses this opportunity with Ning Fan, who else could teach him such magnificent pill refinement techniques…

No one!

Ning Fan remained silent. In the bottom of his heart, however, he felt tempted.

Soul Washing Pond. It was not his first time hearing that name. If he could enter the pond, his medicine soul would improve and his pill refinement techniques would surely have a great leap.

Now, it not only seems like I wouldn’t need to put much time on this man after keeping him as my disciple, but I will also receive great benefits.

Ning Fan narrowed his eyes, as if he had come to a decision.
