Chapter 464 - Using Your Primordial Spirit to Concoct Pills! (1/2)
Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Using Your Primordial Spirit to Concoct Pills!
A strong feeling of discontentment rose in Mo Xiu’s heart.
The Grade Seizing Technique was originally his trump card. He could not believe at all that Ning Fan would also know that technique.
What he found even more difficult to believe was that not only was Ning Fan’s Grade Seizing Technique the complete version, but his proficiency in it was much higher.
Faced with Ning Fan’s Grade Seizing Technique, Mo Xiu was actually unable to resist at all. All he could do was to let his pill continue to lose its medicinal power.
The Liancheng Pill that he had concocted with great effort began to reduce in grade!
As for Huang Tingzi and Yi Yunzi, they surprisingly realized that when Ning Fan used the Grade Seizing Technique, he did not seize the medicinal power of their pills. He was just targeting Mo Xiu alone.
With Ning Fan restraining Mo Xiu, the pills produced by Huang Tingzi and Yi Yunzi stopped losing their medicinal power. Hence, they could develop into complete pills again by finishing the final step of pill refinement.
Without a doubt, Ning Fan was helping the two pill grandmasters. He was just doing them a small favor.
The pills they both concocted were nearly ruined by Mo Xiu. Now, since Ning Fan lent them a hand, they naturally were grateful to him from the depths of their hearts.
Countless cultivators outside the jade platforms were stunned by what they were seeing. They did not expect for the tables to turn like this.
Mo Xiu was the one who used the Grade Seizing Technique first. Now, however, Ning Fan was using the technique on him in return. To Mo Xiu, this was literally an insult.
Compared to Mo Xiu’s despicable act, Ning Fan who made a counterattack against Mo Xiu who displayed his trump card seemed to be on the side of justice even though he used the same technique.
“You’ve lost!” Ning Fan spoke indifferently. His voice contained seventy percent coldness and thirty percent disdain. When his words reached Mo Xiu’s ears, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Have I lost?
Have I actually lost to him in pill refinement?
This is impossible!
However, he could not help but admit that if he continues to allow Ning Fan to seize the medicinal power of his pill, his Liancheng Pill would eventually be left with zero medicinal power and become useless.
Mo Xiu’s eyes flashed with ferocity. He had never felt so discontented before.
The discontentment he felt was like a sharp thorn that was pricking his heart. He could not tolerate it.
The way he looked at Ning Fan revealed a strong killing intent for the first time.
“You can never win against me! During the second round, you took away my spiritual flames, making me suffer injuries due to the backlash of losing them. Today, I will take my revenge for my previous defeat and teach you a lesson! Soul Palm Imprint!”
Both Mo Xiu and Ning Fan were at the crucial moment when their pills were on the verge of completion. Their magic power and spirit sense must solely be focused on their pills. Hence, they could not battle each other at all.
However, Mo Xiu had extraordinary means. His dark green medicine soul suddenly formed into a gigantic palm imprint that was falling directly on Ning Fan’s head. It carried the destructive power of a single-layered medicine soul palm imprint!
This was a technique Mo Xiu secretly learnt from the Pill Sovereign. Even though he had just mastered the first layer, its destructive power was still incredible.
He suddenly ambushed Ning Fan using that Battle Soul Technique when the latter was at a critical point in refining his pill. This strike would be destructive enough to blow up Ning Fan’s pill cauldron and destroy his pill. Then, Ning Fan would suffer the backlash caused by his failure in concocting his pill and would be wounded by the palm imprint.
Mo Xiu did not dare to kill Ning Fan. He just did not dare to do it.
However, if he doesn’t let Ning Fan taste how it feels to be grievously injured, he would not be able to quench the anger inside of him.
“A technique that you secretly learnt from others, huh… Well, that’s all it can do…”
Ning Fan’s eyes glinted with a cold light. He had already been prepared to defend himself against Mo Xiu’s sneak attack.
As countless cultivators saw Mo Xiu fly into a rage out of humiliation and sneak attack Ning Fan who was in the middle of refining his pill, they began to despise his personality.
Meanwhile, many pill masters were filled with excitement when they saw Mo Xiu display the Battle Soul Technique that only ancient pill masters knew.
Yue Lingkong, Xu Qiuling and Fen Chi rose to their feet in anxiety when they saw that Ning Fan was being attacked. They wanted to rush up there and help him block that palm imprint. However, it was already too late.
Seeing Mo Xiu’s palm imprint that was about to hit Ning Fan and make him suffer a backlash, Xu Qiuling’s gentle eyes were filled with killing intent for the very first time. She was wearing a black dress which made her look like a black orchid. However, this lovely orchid was still capable of feeling anger.
As for Yue Lingkong, she was on the verge of losing control of herself. If Little Cucumber were to be hurt, she would definitely risk her life to fight against Mo Xiu! Even if she could not defeat him, she would still put her life on the line!
Fen Chi’s enchanting eyes were burning with anger. She was not an ungrateful person. Since Ning Fan had treated her well all this while, she was ready to fight for his sake.
*Bang*
Just as his women felt extremely worried, the sound of collision which was ear-splitting as if there was cracking thunder which suddenly echoed in the sky.
Ning Fan’s body had also released a boundless and vigorous dark green medicine soul which turned into three layers of palm imprints which clashed with Mo Xiu’s attack.
Ning Fan’s Heavenly Dipper Imprint was a technique the Pill Sovereign had personally taught him. In terms of the completeness of their magic techniques, the level of their medicine souls and the mastery of the palm imprint, Ning Fan surpassed Mo Xiu in all of those aspects.
There was no doubt who the victor was in the clash of their attacks. Ning Fan directly crushed Mo Xiu’s attack.
Layers of power fluctuations began to spread. Mo Xiu looked extremely startled while Ning Fan remained as calm as usual.
The remaining force of his palm imprint blasted Mo Xiu’s body without mercy. It felt like a thousand mountains had landed on his body. In just an instant, Mo Xiu had suffered quite a serious blow.
Moments after that, Mo Xiu felt a sharp pain in his medicine soul. All of his magic power became stagnant, causing him to be unable to continue refining his pill.
*Puke*
Mo Xiu coughed out blood and retreated continuously. As his palms left his pill cauldron, the flame within the cauldron went out of control. Instantly, his cauldron gave off a burning smell. One of the lightning tribulations that had gathered in the sky disappeared on its own.
Mo Xiu’s pill cauldron did not explode and his pill did not get destroyed. However, he failed during the final step because of Ning Fan’s disturbance and the Liancheng Pill he concocted became a burnt useless pill…
Since Mo Xiu had placed all of his concentration and magic power on that pill, the backlash he suffered when his pill was ruined by an external force was certainly not something minor.
With the injuries Ning Fan’s palm imprint inflicted and the pain of the backlash he suffered, his Void Inquiry Stage cultivation base became unstable. His magic power could not keep up and his cultivation level regressed to the Void Glimpse Stage!
Experiencing a backlash from the failure of refining a pill was equivalent to getting out of control when one was practicing a cultivation method. The consequences were serious. Because of this, the Pill Sovereign passed the Heavenly Dipper Imprint to Ning Fan so that he could defend himself and preserve his life.
Unless Mo Xiu goes into seclusion for tens of years, he would not be able to regain his Void Inquiry Stage cultivation base. This was the price he had to pay for the backlash he suffered!
He was infuriated. He was deranged. His feelings had consumed his rationality.
Despite being the reputable palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace, Ning Fan actually managed to make him regress to a lower cultivation realm. Now, he cast all of his concerns to the back of his mind.
He no longer cared about who was backing or protecting Ning Fan. All he wanted today was to make him pay!
“Little Zhou Ming, you’re courting death!”
He soared into the sky, gathering power to use a magic technique. He wanted to injure Ning Fan who was still refining his pill and make him suffer the same backlash he had experienced!
“You’re the one who is seeking death!”
Ning Fan suddenly slapped the lid of his cauldron. A ray of silver lightning suddenly struck his cauldron. The Revered Devil Pill he had been concocting was completed straight away!
No. To be more accurate, Ning Fan had already finished that pill 10 days ago. He was just pretending to be refining his pill in order to wait for this moment to arrive.
He already knew that Mo Xiu would turn crazy after breaking his Grade Seizing Technique. It was still within his calculations.
“Swallow!”
In the face of the lightning tribulation of a High Grade Fifth Revolution Pill, Ning Fan opened his mouth and directly swallowed the silver lightning.
He possessed the complete Tai Su Lightning Star. How could this lightning ray be able to harm him?!
As Mo Xiu approached him, he flew into the sky with a single step and threw a punch at his face.
Mo Xiu hurriedly hurled another punch to counter Ning Fan’s punch. At the moment their punches collided, Mo Xiu’s eyes flickered with surprise. The bones in his fist that had clashed with Ning Fan’s punch were crushed right away. He could not withstand Ning Fan’s massive physical strength!
*Bang*
A loud bang reverberated across the sky. Mo Xiu was sent flying away with his fist covered in blood!
The injuries he currently had were extremely severe. His cultivation level also regressed and his physical body was now far weaker than that of Ning Fan. How could he still be an opponent who can match his strength?
Internally, he was filled with regrets. If he had known that Ning Fan knew the Grade Seizing Technique too, he would definitely not flaunt his slight accomplishment in it right in front of him. If he had known that Ning Fan also knew the Heavenly Dipper Imprint, he would certainly not ambush him. If he had known that Ning Fan already completed his pill, he would obviously refrain from attacking him so recklessly and desperately.
It was him who attacked Ning Fan first. Even if Ning Fan kills him today, he would probably still be the one on the side of justice. No one in the Rain Palace would take revenge for him and he would just die in vain!
Today, he did not have King Lan Ling’s protection. Today, his condition was worse than when he was in the second round. How could he still be Ning Fan’s opponent?!
He was dissatisfied! He was reluctant to accept the truth!
However, his mind slowly calmed down. The current situation was disadvantageous to him and he was not willing to continue this fight. He wanted to lay low for the moment and get through today. Then, he would plan on getting his revenge in the future.
“Stop now! I will certainly compensate Revered Ming reasonably for offending you today. Both of us are members of the Rain Palace. Why should we fight and kill each other?!”
“Well said! Then, do you still remember the bet which you and I made earlier?!”
Ning Fan’s remainder had brought up some memories in Mo Xiu.
Yes. He had made a bet with Ning Fan earlier. But now, he had failed to refine his pill whereas Ning Fan succeeded. Doubtlessly, he had lost to him. According to the terms of their gamble, Ning Fan could randomly take away one thing from him.
“What do you want? Name it and I will give it to you!” Mo Xiu said nervously.
