Chapter 474 - The Heaven-Defying Little Pill Devil (1/2)

Translator: GE_Team

There were a dozen Divine Transformation Realm servants standing guard outside the guest house where Ning Fan was temporarily staying at. Old Man Qu and Devil Lord Scarlet Moon were among them. All of them were waiting outside patiently and respectfully.

A Sense Blocking Formation was set on the building. Ning Fan brought Ming Que to sit at the top of the building and asked her about everything she had been through all these years.

After Ning Fan left Yue Country, this little girl also sneaked out of the Dark Sparrow’s Grave and headed to the Endless Sea on her own.

When she had just left the country, she was still a Gold Core Realm little pill devil. Today, however, she had already become an Early Divine Transformation Realm being.

According to her own recounting, she had never practiced or cultivated throughout her journey. She merely consumed countless spiritual herbs and pills and she then managed to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm within several tens of years.

Her monstrous innate cultivation advantage made Ning Fan feel ashamed of his inferiority.

Ming Que was the combination of an Immemorial Dark Sparrow and a pill devil. Thus, she was born with keen senses towards heavenly ingredients and precious treasures. Along her journey to the Endless Sea, she had gathered countless spiritual herbs and consumed them all.

The part of her that was Immemorial Dark Sparrow gave her a royal grade demon bloodline which allowed her to possess a great cultivation speed which ordinary demon cultivators would never be able to achieve.

As for her pill devil part, it gave her another unique advantage. A pill devil was fundamentally birthed from a pill. As a pill devil, one could absorb the medicinal power of other pills in order to enhance their own grade.

Strictly speaking, the current Ming Que was actually not a genuine Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivator but a Low Grade Fifth Revolution Pill.

The pill’s grade was the cultivation level of a pill devil. Hence, the increase in their cultivation levels was in fact just an advancement of their pill’s grade.

In the Dark Sparrow’s Grave back then, Ming Que was already a Low Grade Fifth Revolution pill devil. During that time, however, she had yet to absorb enough medicinal power from pills and spiritual medicine and that was why she had not been able to fully activate the power of a Low Grade Fifth Revolution pill devil.

As a typical little pill devil, she could absorb the medicinal power of whatever pills she consumes to enhance her cultivation base. Even if it was a poisonous pill, as long as the poison does not kill her, its medicinal power would still strengthen her cultivation base. Doubtlessly, this physique was indeed a little too incredible.

As long as it is a pill, Ming Que would refuse nothing regardless of its type. Whatever she eats would benefit her…

While others take vulnerary pills to heal their wounds, she takes those pills to enhance her magic power.

While others take face changing pills to alter their appearances, she could strengthen her magic power by consuming them.

When someone tries to poison her by giving her poisonous pills, as long as the poison is not lethal, she could still assimilate all of it and use them to increase her magic power.

Any kind of pill could serve as a medium for her to raise her cultivation level.

Besides, with her innate ability to search for heavenly ingredients and precious treasures, she could always find some precious spiritual herbs whenever she passes by barren mountains and ridges along her way. After consuming them, their medicinal power would boost her magic power.

Her incredible pill devil physique enabled her to fully adapt to her Fifth Grade pill devil level within tens of years by devouring everything she found from the world while boosting her magic power to the Early Divine Transformation Realm.

Ning Fan could imagine that as long as this little pill devil consumes enough pills and spiritual medicine, it would only be a matter of time before she breaks through to the Void Refinement Realm and the Void Fragmentation Realm.

Of course, as her cultivation level continued to improve, ordinary pills and spiritual herbs became ineffective to her cultivation base.

Today, as a Low Grade Fifth Revolution pill devil with her Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base, she could only consume ten thousand years old spiritual herbs or pills with grades at the Fifth Revolution or above in order to continue improving her cultivation level.

She was not a pill refinement master. There was no way she could have a large amount of Fifth Revolution pills that could fill her stomach. Hence, she could only be content with the second best option which was to eat ten thousand years old spiritual medicine raw.

The actual reason why this little foodie chose to sell Min Luo Fruits for immortal jade was because she did not have enough money to buy those spiritual medicines.

“The physique of a pill devil really is heaven-defying. So long as you are supplied with enough Sixth Revolution and Seventh Revolution pills, it’ll be only a matter of time for you to attain the Void Fragmentation Realm…”

Ning Fan sighed with emotion. He did not have any special blessings. If it wasn’t for the countless dangerous encounters he experienced in the past and the innumerable opportunities he seized and fought for, his cultivation speed would certainly be unable to match Ming Que’s.

He did not ask too many questions about her innate physique. What concerned him the most was her purpose of coming to the Endless Sea.

He was sure that the reason why she came here was not to look for him. She should have another important reason.

“Speaking of which, why did you come to the Endless Sea? And who is that old man with the last name ‘Qu’?!”

Ning Fan must figure out the identity of that old man. If he was someone who was trying to harm Ming Que, he definitely needed to get rid of him.

“Grandpa Qu is the great flamen of ‘Si Kong Demon Island’ in the internal sea. Besides, because I can eat a lot, I was appointed as ‘Heaven Swallowing Island Lord’ of Si Kong Demon Island. Those Divine Transformation Realm servants are all rogue cultivators Grandpa Qu brought to me to catch. All of them were planted with demon seals making them to listen to all of my orders. Otherwise, I will teach them a lesson.”

Ming Que raised one of her small, cute fists and looked at Ning Fan with a smiling face while chewing on a tuft of ten thousand years old Purple Yang Ginseng.

After Ning Fan subdued Devil Lord Scarlet Moon and made him her servant, she felt extremely happy as she had a new person to “train”.

The little pill devil who was as pure as a blank sheet of paper in the past had now become a little evil on the inside after picking up the habits of devil cultivators in the Endless Sea.

“The great flamen of Si Kong Demon Island…”

Ning Fan shook his head speechlessly. He did not think that Old Man Qu made Ming Que the lord of the entire island just because she had a big appetite.

He patted his storage pouch and took out an ancient scroll called Sea Countries Record. It was something he casually stole from the Ghost Eye Clan. It was an ancient book which held all the written records made by the Ghost Eye Clan about the customs and practices of all islands in the Endless Sea.

Before the Thunder Sovereign’s era, the Ghost Eye Clan was the overlord of the Endless Sea. That being so, they certainly had detailed information about all of the islands in the Endless Sea.

In the Sea Countries Record, there were information about all one hundred and three thousand islands in the Endless Sea. They categorized all of these islands into six different grades. Si Kong Demon Island belonged to the fifth grade and had Divine Transformation Realm cultivators guarding it.

According to the book, the cultivators of Si Kong Demon Island were all demon cultivators. The members of the island worshipped a large ancient statue. It was said to be the previous ruler of Si Kong Demon Island who was a great cultivator from the True Spirit Immemorial Dark Sparrow Tribe of the demon race.

That great demon cultivator was called Si Cang. She was said to be the princess of the Immemorial Dark Sparrow Tribe in the past and possessed the terrifying ancestral demon blood.

All of the demon cultivators on Si Kong Demon Island could be considered as Si Cang’s demon slaves and descendants. They kept waiting for their princess’ return.

Ever since Si Cang’s disappearance, the island was only being guarded by the great flamen. It never had a new island lord because only the princess was eligible to become the ruler of the island.

After discovering this information, Ning Fan’s expression turned gloomy. Sure enough, there was another mysterious reason why that silly little Ming Que would suddenly become the lord of Si Kong Demon Island.

Si Kong Demon Island never had an island lord. There is only one explanation why Ming Que could become the ruler of that demon island.

That Old Man Qu has addressed her as Princess Si Cang!

“Do you know about… Si Cang?!”

Ning Fan kept the Sea Countries Record and asked with an indifferent tone. As his calm voice reached Ming Que’s ears, it immediately stunned her, making her stop chewing the ten thousand years old spiritual herb. Feeling strange, she asked.

“Brother Biscuit, how did you know this name? It’s really strange. Grandpa Qu said that I was called Si Cang in my previous life. However, this is a secret. You must not tell anyone else…”

“Your previous life?”

Ning Fan stared at Ming Que confusedly.

Is there also a previous life version of this little pill devil?

He suddenly thought of the remains of the massive dark sparrow in the Dark Sparrow’s Grave.

This little pill devil must have absorbed the power of its remains which gave her the Dark Sparrow Tribe’s royal grade demon bloodline.

Perhaps the dark sparrow’s remains belong to Si Cang.

Speaking from this perspective, the deceased Si Cang channeled her power into the pill which developed into a pill devil. In that sense, this little pill devil could be regarded as the reincarnation of Si Cang.

Little Ming Que had known about this secret for quite some time. However, if it wasn’t Ning Fan who asked about it, she would not take the initiative to tell him that.

“You didn’t mention the secret related to Si Cang before this. Was it because you didn’t trust me and that’s why you kept it from me?” Ning Fan made a playful expression and asked.

“No no no! Of course not! Brother Biscuit is the most important person to Ming Que! How could I not trust you?! But Grandpa Qu told me that it’s better that few people know about this secret. If I tell you, you will be in danger. That’s why I can’t dare to tell you. I’m afraid that I will only drag you into trouble… However, you don’t have to worry, Brother Biscuit. Grandpa Qu is my demon slave. He won’t harm me. He is a trustworthy person.”

Ming Que stuck out her tongue mischievously while looking at Ning Fan, trying to please him. When Ning Fan asked her that question earlier, she panicked and quickly explained everything to him as she was worried that he might be angry.

Ning Fan nodded to soothe her anxiety. Even though he did not know what status Princes Si Cang had in the Immemorial Dark Sparrow Tribe, he agreed with Old Man Qu in keeping this a secret. Indeed, it would be better if less people know about this.

Regarding whether or not Old Man Qu actually harbored bad intentions towards Ming Que, Ning Fan could naturally find out when he visits Si Kong Island in the future.

He was willing to believe that all of the cultivators on Si Kong Demon Island were just a group of demon slaves who were waiting for their master to return and are sincere and loyal to Ming Que. This would be the best scenario.

However, if the members of that island try to harm Ming Que, he would not mind making the entire island pay with their blood.

After knowing why Ming Que came to the Endless Sea, Ning Fan went quiet for a while to sort out his thoughts. At the same time, he pondered inwardly.
