Chapter 399 - She’s Very Delicious! (1/2)
Translator: GE_Team Editor: GE_Team
Ning Fan had not expected the pursuit of the Heavenly Eye.
Fortunately, he managed to avoid a predicament which could have been disastrous or even lethal to him. After making sure everything was back to normal, he returned to the thatched cottage and checked on Luo You.
Seeing that she still showed no signs of waking up, Ning Fan let out a faint sigh and began sorting out the spoils that he gained from his previous battles.
It was time to deal with the 120 bottles of dragon blood.
It would take ten years to brew the dragon blood into blood wine. However, Ning Fan wanted to find out if there was a possibility of shortening the time needed for it to ferment.
In the Profound Yin World, the speed of cultivating and refining pills was one hundred times faster than in the outside world.
It was still unknown as to whether or not it would speed up the process of brewing the blood wine.
He took out the Xuan Wei Bloody Gourd and carefully examined the wine within the gourd. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he let out a dejected sigh.
The Profound Yin World did not have the ability of accelerating the process of brewing blood wine.
No. It should be said that the structure of the Xuan Wei Bloody Gourd was extremely unique. It must be connected to the power of heaven and earth in the outside world in order to brew blood into wine.
If it is kept in the Profound Yin World or another realm in which time flows at a faster rate, not only would the time distortion have no effect on the brewing process, but it would also cause the gourd to cease the process completely.
It was one cumbersome matter.
Ning Fan would probably only be able to brew blood wine in the Profound Yin World after he connects with the power of heaven and earth when he shatters the Void Space and becomes an immortal being in the future.Currently, there was no way he could do so.
“The process of brewing blood wine can only be done in the outside world and it will take ten years in the outside world without any means to accelerate the process… In other words, it will need at least another ten years for the blood wine to be complete and I can only break through the bottleneck of the Void Refinement Realm using the power of the blood wine ten years later.”
“I can only gather enough magic power after ten years. As for breaking through the bottleneck of the Void Refinement Realm, I wonder how many years it will take me. I’m afraid attaining the Void Refinement Realm will be extremely time-consuming. Moreover, there is a possibility that I may not be able to successfully attain the Void Refinement Realm in the remaining sixty years… I was too greedy. If I really succeed in attaining the Void Refinement Realm in several tens of years, it will already be an extremely great achievement. To ordinary cultivators, they may not even be able to break through to the Void Refinement Realm even if they spend hundreds or even thousands of years.”
“Rather than pondering about something uncertain, I might as well drink the remaining seven mouthfuls of blood wine in the blood gourd and then fill it with the dragon blood from the 120 bottles. This is what I should be doing!”
Before coming to the Dragon Determining Valley, Ning Fan could drink at most three mouthfuls of blood wine and it would then be beyond his limit to withstand any additional baleful qi of the blood wine.
However, after all the killings he had been through in the blood pool, the baleful qi that he possessed became even more immense. It might not necessarily be impossible for him to drink seven mouthfuls in a row.
*Gulp* *Gulp* *Gulp*
As he raised the blood gourd, he finished the seven mouthfuls of blood wine at one go. A wave of intense heat filled his throat and nasal cavity. He immediately sat down in a meditative position to assimilate the power of the wine.
Three mouthfuls of blood wine had increased his magic power by 25000 units.
When he finished the seven mouthfuls of blood wine, his magic power was raised again by an estimated 58000 units!
With the accelerated cultivation speed in the Profound Yin World, it did not take him too long to assimilate the blood wine. When he completely absorbed the wine power in his body, his magic power rose to 396500 units.
The seven mouthfuls of blood wine were brewed using the blood of the Sword Sovereign1. Thus, the power of the wine was rather strong.
Even with Ning Fan’s alcohol tolerance, his face looked a little flushed and he felt a little dizzy after drinking the remaining blood wine.
After slightly suppressing his drunkeness, Ning Fan patted his storage pouch. He took out the 120 jade bottles and poured all of the dragon blood into the blood gourd.
Dragon blood might be a little inferior to the blood of the Sword Sovereign but if all it is turned into blood wine, each bottle of it would be equivalent to at least 5000 units of magic power.
Once the dragon blood that was worth six hundred thousand units of magic power is brewed, Ning Fan would have more than one million units of magic power after assimilating it. Then, he could officially begin to break through the bottleneck of the Void Refinement Realm.
Ten years… It’s just ten years. It’s not very long!
The problem of the blood wine was now solved. Afterwards, Ning Fan took out the Serene Palace Buddha Fire and the Divine Cold Soul. With a solemn expression, he started refining them one after another.
When he absorbed the Divine Cold Soul, his magic power increased by one thousand units. He now possessed a new type of Heavenly Cold Qi, bringing the total number of Heavenly Cold Qi and Earth Flames in his collection to thirteen types.
When he was done refining the Serene Palace Buddha Fire, his magic power sharply rose by five thousand units. It was the first type of Sixth Grade Void Flame that he had ever obtained.
402500 units of magic power. His magic power had already exceeded four hundred thousand. Now, he was just one hundred thousand units away from the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm which required five hundred thousand units of magic power.
Originally, Ning Fan wanted to consume the Divine Transformation Realm Dao Fruit. However, he gave up that idea after pondering for a while.
Yin Suqiu was highly regarded by the Zifu Academy. After she attains the Divine Transformation Realm, she could then ascend to the Four Heavens immediately.
Even though she was already at the Half-Step Divine Transformation Realm, she would certainly still need another several tens or even a hundred years to truly achieve the Divine Transformation Realm.
It’s better that I save this Divine Transformation Realm Dao Fruit for Suqiu.
To Ning Fan who had a large amount of blood wine, one thousand units of magic power was insignificant.
To Suqiu, however, it could save her a lengthy time of bitter cultivation and establish a stronger foundation for her Divine Transformation Realm.
Mm. Of course, I have to prepare one more for Xu Qiuling and the rest of the women…
A faint smile formed on Ning Fan’s face. If he returns to his home, perhaps he could properly help his women improve their cultivation levels.
When he checked the time, it was approaching daybreak. Ning Fan took care of Luo You for a little while more and then left the Profound Yin World, returning to the Dragon Determining Valley.
In the valley, white snowflakes flew in the air, creating a desolate and lonesome atmosphere.
Outside Ning Fan’s room, a lonely middle-aged man carrying a sword on his back had been standing alone in the snow for a very long time.
He sensed Ning Fan entering the space of a magic treasure earlier. Besides, the fluctuations the space emanated did not seem like that of a magic treasure with a small chiliocosm, much less the magic treasure of immortal’s abode.
It looks like he has entered the space of a treasure with a medium dichiliocosm… However, this should be impossible. Only Immortal Emperors are worthyof owning that kind of magic treasure, aren’t they?
Yun Tianjue pondered. However, he did not raise a question about it to Ning Fan. He disliked prying into someone else’s secrets.
When he saw Ning Fan open the door and get out of the room, he only uttered coldly.
“You have already passed the test. When you are done bidding farewell to that little girlfriend of yours, I will then send you back to the Endless Sea.”
Well, Ning Fan really needed Yun Tianjue to give him a ride back.
Otherwise, the journey back to the Endless Sea which was billions of li* (500m per li) away was going to take him a few months of travel.
What made him rather speechless was the ‘little girlfriend’ that Yun Tianjue mentioned.
It was naturally referring to Yu Chong’er.
To be honest, Ning Fan had some favorable feelings for that honest and forthright lady who was also a filial daughter even though she always argued with him. However, the feelings he had for her had yet to blossom into love.
He did not deny it but he did not plan to say goodbye to Yu Chong’er too. He thought that it was enough to just leave silently.
“This junior had gained a lot during this trip to the Dragon Determining Valley. It’s all thanks to Senior’s care. This junior will never forget Senior’s kindness. However, the Rain Sovereign has ordered Senior to immediately return to the Middle State but Senior is defying that order to send this junior back to the Endless Sea. Wouldn’t it create troubles for Senior?”
Ning Fan was worried that Yun Tianjue will provoke the Rain Sovereign.
With his current understanding towards the Rain Sovereign, the latter was certainly not a kind and friendly person.
“Don’t care too much about things that are none of your business!”
Yun Tianjue impatiently replied, stopping Ning Fan from raising any other questions.
Seeing that Ning Fan had no intention of staying, he also did not intend to linger at this place any longer.
He turned and looked at a certain direction in the snow and coldly said ‘farewell’.
Then, a ray of sword light shone, encircling both him and Ning Fan, dashing out of Snow Country.
In a dark corner, Chu Chang’an revealed himself with a bitter smile.
Yun Tianjue was, of course, bidding farewell to Elder Chu.
From the one-month trip to the Blood Dragon Pool, Ning Fan’s Blood Dragon Demon Sword had absorbed a great amount of blood qi, thus making its dragon might even more active.
Elder Chu had sensed a trace of blood dragon might from Ning Fan. He knew that Ning Fan probably had some kind of blood dragon secret treasure and wanted to find out about it. However, he did not expect that Yun Tianjue had actually seen through his intentions and stayed outside of Ning Fan’s room without moving a foot.
And so, Elder Chu had no other choice but to forget about his idea to check Ning Fan.
He still did not want to offend Yun Tianjue for a blood dragon secret treasure that he did not know about.
“White-Robed Sword God, Yun Tianjue… It’s beyond my expectations that a cold and indifferent person like him would treat a revered elder who cultivates the devil path so kindly and generously. Hehe. Looking at Yun Tianjue’s face, this old man is not going to plan anything against that Zhou Ming.”
“However, about the request from the Rain Sovereign, Yun Tianjue might be daring enough to ignore but this old man does not dare to do so. I am a member of the demon race and I also possess half a trace of sovereign qi that was given by the past Rain Sovereign. To the current Rain Sovereign, I am a thorn. If I arrive late in the Middle State, it will probably become an excuse for him to get rid of me. Hehe. Even though I am a Void Fragmentation Realm expert, I don’t have any freedom at all. *Chuckle* I better get going…”
Chu Chang’an laughed mockingly at himself. He then disappeared into a ray of travelling light which headed towards the Middle State.
Amidst the wind and snow, Yu Chong’er was unable to sleep the entire night. She did not utter a single word while looking at the sword light which Ning Fan rode on to leave the valley.
She felt a bit melancholic. Unconsciously, she placed her fingers against her lips and recalled the intense and passionate kiss they had on that day which moistened her entire lips. It felt like Ning Fan’s smell still lingered on them.
“Thank you… You’ve saved me, my mother and my brother. As for the third favor that I owe you, I will definitely repay you. Definitely.”
When they came to the Dragon Determining Valley, the journey took them three days. When they left, it only took them two days to reach the Endless Sea.
From the beginning until the end, Yun Tianjue did not utter a single word. He drove the sword light faster than before. Within just two days, he had sent Ning Fan back to Penglai Island on the External Endless Sea.
He did not say goodbye or give a reminder to Ning Fan. After Ning Fan jumped down from the sword light and cupped his fists at him, he only lightly nodded his head with his expression becoming a little gentler.
