Chapter 364.2 (1/2)

Help Me Look For A Person

Ning Fan nodded. If he still remained in the Endless Sea ten years later, he would certainly go and compete for a thunder jade.

Ning Fan had never had the idea of giving up any of the opportunities that came across him.

However, it would be a bit too early to think about this matter since the thunder jades would only be given out in another ten years.

“Fellow Daoist Dong Xu, roughly how long will you still need to be fully prepared to break through to the Void Refinement Realm in the emperor’s tomb?” Ning Fan suddenly changed the topic.

“I will need at least a few years or at most tens of years. Breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm is not a trivial matter. However, I am quite confident after obtaining your help. I am also prepared to stay in Gusu Island and study the insights that you have gained in the breakthrough of your state of mind. With me guarding this island, it is going to be safe. On the other hand, you don’t have to worry about the Pleasure Devil Island as well.”

“Is that so? If that’s the case, it means Fellow Daoist Dong Xu won’t be inside the emperor’s tomb to break through your cultivation base within these few years, right? That is fine too. If I get a thunder jade ten years later, perhaps I can enter the emperor’s tomb and help Fellow Daoist in breaking through to the next cultivation level…”

“Hehe. If that day really comes, I would really need your help in protecting me during my meditation.” Dong Xu made a smile and did not imagine it any further.

“I am preparing to leave for a period of time. After handling some trivial matters in the external sea, I will go into seclusion in the Lost World Palace to completely assimilate all the items that I have obtained from the killings I’ve done previously. After that, I will enter the Internal Endless Sea in my strongest state. It may take me a few months or maybe even a few years…” Ning Fan pondered.

When Dong Xu heard that Ning Fan was planning to leave, he immediately asked with a surprised tone.

“You want to leave for a few years? If that’s the case, you can just let Ling Er stay in Gusu Island temporarily. After her life force has been replenished, her strength has increased drastically and is now close to attaining the Divine Transformation Realm. Perhaps she would be able to achieve a breakthrough within this period of time.”

“Ling Er attaining the Divine Transformation Realm? Fine. If that is how it is, I will concoct some pills for her which could aid her in attaining the Divine Transformation Realm before I leave.”

Two women’s figures appeared in Ning Fan’s eyes. One of them was Xu Qiuling while the other one was Yin Suqiu.

These two women were about to achieve the Divine Transformation Realm. Perhaps, he could also concoct some pills for Yin Suqiu too.

He stood there, absorbed in his thoughts. These women were his family.

Family… With them around, which place that I travel to isn’t home even if I wander from place to place?

Home. My home. Other than them, my master, my brother, and there seems to be another person.

“My mother…”

He seemed to have remembered something. He looked at Dong Xu but his eyes this time were filled with a hint of hesitation and nervousness.

Even if it was just a barely significant hint of nervousness, this expression rarely appeared in Ning Fan’s eyes.

“Fellow Daoist Dong Xu, could you please help me perform a divination on something using the drop of True Immortal’s blood you have… It’s very important!”

“Oh? Of course I can! However, this drop of True Immortal’s blood can only be used once. Has Fellow Daoist made up your mind on which matter you wish me to help you foresee?”

Dong Xu was inwardly surprised. He had never seen Ning Fan behave so nervously.

It was enough to show how significant that matter was to Ning Fan.

“Mm. I have already thought about it. Please help me look for a person…”

There were a lot of things that Ning Fan wanted to know inside his heart.

He wanted to find out who the person who plotted against the Old Devil was. However, Wei Xuan had already told him about it.

He wanted to find and gather all of Weiling’s souls. However, he had some guesses on the whereabouts of her souls.

He wanted to know who the person was that had altered his fate and plotted against his luck. However, compared to that person who was in his mind right now, everything just seemed insignificant.

He wanted to find that person. During Mortal Severance in the Sea of Clouds, he discovered that the person was still alive in this world. He wanted to find her.

“Look for a person? Who do you want me to look for?”

“Her name is Ning Qian.” Ning Fan’s tone sounded calm but his eyes were flashing with a mixture of excitement and worry.

Ning Qian was his mother. He was not sure whether her mother was really still alive. All he had was just guesses.

If the result of Dong Xu’s divination was that she was dead, his hope would come to nothing.

“Ning Qian? It sounds like a feminine name. Is she your woman…? Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are really a dissolute man living an unconventional lifestyle…”

Dong Xu casually spoke and smiled. However, his words were cut off by Ning Fan’s angry stare.

“She is my mother!”

Well, there was no way Ning Fan would not be angry. After all, someone’s parents were not something to laugh at.

“*Cough* I’m sorry to have made such an insensitive remark…”

Dong Xu was astonished again. Inwardly, he just thought that Ning Fan was a dutiful son as the latter asked him to find his mother’s whereabouts using the True Immortal’s blood.

“Do you have her appearance? A keepsake or something given by her or her qi?” Dong Xu asked.

“I only know her appearance.”

With a wave of his hand, Ning Fan produced a pen and ink. He closed his eyes and recalled Ning Qian’s face.

The one in Yun Ruowei’s dream, the one who showed pity to her son on the Ten Steps Bridge, and the one who cooked for him and Zhihe in the illusory realm when he was at the Dao Asking Cliff.

Each of her impressions overlapped with each other and assimilated. Then, Ning Fan swung his pen and drew a woman who had a dignified and kind appearance on the paper.

“If I only have the appearance, the information that I can get through divination won’t be a lot. I can only do my best.” Dong Xu memorized the portrait of the woman in his heart. Then, he sat up right on his seat and began to move his fingers.

A trace of blood light flickered between his brows. Afterwards, a vast aura force flowed out from within his body. However, it stopped within the area of three zhang* (3.33m per zhang) around him.
