Chapter 474 - The Heaven-Defying Little Pill Devil (2/2)
Since I accidentally met Ming Que, I might as well continue to keep her by my side. This way, I can take care of her so that she won’t be harmed by anyone.
Little Ming Que was chewing on a tuft of sixty thousand years old Blue Moon Grass. It was what Ning Fan had just bought.
Even though this Blue Moon Grass had survived for many years, it could only be used for concocting Divine Transformation Realm pills. It was useless to Ning Fan. Thus, he just let Ming Que consume it.
What mattered to Ning Fan was the silver-colored marble on which the Blue Moon Grass grew. It was a stone the size of a palm. It gave off a glittering glow that could move one’s soul.
It was clearly not an ordinary stone. Instead, it was a stone which contained the moon power inheritance that a great expert had accumulated his entire life. The power it contained was impressive.
This time, if it wasn’t for Ming Que who noticed the uniqueness of the stone and had bid for the Blue Moon Grass using 100 million immortal jade, Ning Fan might have overlooked its profoundness. He would certainly have missed out on this excellent item.
Based on his experience, he could estimate that the total amount of moon power in the inheritance inside the stone was equivalent to all of the magic power a Void Pierce Stage old monster had!
If a cultivator who cultivates a cultivation method related to moonlight fully absorbs the power within the stone and turns it into their own magic power, their magic power would certainly reach the Void Pierce Stage!
Since the little pill devil Ming Que did not practice any moonlight cultivation methods, she would normally be unable to absorb the moon power. But because of her heaven-defying pill devil physique, she would still be able to absorb nearly one percent of the moon power in the inheritance.That amount of magic power would be enough for her to break through to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm.
As for a common cultivator like Ning Fan, however, he would not be able to obtain any benefit from the stone.
After discovering the secret of this stone, Ning Fan immediately decided how to use this stone.
It would be rather wasteful to let Ming Que consume this stone. If it were given to Yue Lingkong instead, the effect would certainly be greater.
Ning Fan activated his black flame and heated up this stone, refining every last trace of moon power from it. Eventually, he filtered out a moonlight gemstone which was as big as a finger’s nail.
The power this tiny gemstone held was comparable to the total amount of magic power an Absolute Void Stage expert had!
If Yue Lingkong consumes the Void Inquiry Pill, she would attain the Void Glimpse Stage very soon. If she takes this gemstone after that, it was unknown whether she would have the chance to break through to the Absolute Void Stage!
It was a welcome surprise to obtain this moonlight gemstone from this auction.
Ming Que stared at the crystal-clear moonlight gemstone with hungry eyes and made a gulp. She really wished that she could swallow down that tiny sparkling gemstone right away.
Ning Fan saw her silly yet adorable face and gently flicked her forehead. With an affectionate tone, he said.
“If you eat this gemstone, it will only give you medicinal power which is similar to what is contained in several tens of pellets of Fifth Revolution Pills. It’s somewhat wasteful, just like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. I have other plans in mind for this item. I will give you these pills as compensation for taking away this moonlight gemstone from you. For now, you just eat these first. They can also help you attain the Mid Divine Transformation Realm.”
Ning Fan took out a few bottles of Fifth Revolution pills from his storage pouch and passed them all to Ming Que.
Even though the pills were kept inside jade bottles, Ming Que was still able to smell the aroma of the pills. Immediately, she made a cute drooling expression.
“Wow. So many pill biscuits! Are all of them for me?” Happiness struck her too suddenly and she found it a little hard to believe.
“Mm. These pill biscuits are for you. In the future, you’ll be following after me. Stop running around on your own. I will always make pills for you to eat. Does that sound good?” Ning Fan fiddled with the pill bottles, trying to tempt that little pill devil.
“It definitely is the best thing in the world! I will now follow Brother Biscuit and I will never run away on my own! But Brother Biscuit, you’ve said it wrongly. They aren’t pills but pill biscuits instead…”
Well, Ning Fan was not going to bother with what kind of biscuit it was. Be it black biscuits or white biscuits, as long as it could pacify the little pill devil and make her obediently stay, it would be an excellent biscuit!
The sky was getting dark. Ning Fan stood up and gently patted Ming Que’s cute little head. He was preparing to leave so that she could rest early.
However, just before he walked out of the room, Ming Que suddenly called to him.
“Brother Biscuit, there is a bad biscuit inside here…”
“A bad biscuit?”
Ning Fan could guess that the bad biscuit Ming Que was referring to must be a defective pill.
A burnt pill was quietly sitting inside the jade bottle which Ming Que was pointing at. Little Ming Que could smell the grade and quality of the pills inside the jade bottles without even opening up their seals. Her sense of smell was truly heaven-defying.
That burnt pill was the Liancheng Pill Mo Xiu had failed to concoct during the third round of the Pill Ceremony previously. After the fight, Ning Fan changed his mind and kept this pill with him.
This time, he accidentally had a mix-up with the jade bottle used for storing defective pills while he was taking out the pill bottles for Ming Que and gave her the b Liancheng Pill.
“It’s a defective pill and isn’t edible. The Liancheng Pill’s ingredients are extremely rare, giving the pill a mysterious medicinal effect.. It could enhance the intensity of a pill refinement master’s medicine soul. Unfortunately, Mo Xiu ruined the pill. Otherwise, it would be extremely beneficial to me in attaining the Sixth Revolution pill refinement realm if I consume it.”
Ning Fan reached out for the pill bottle, intending to take it back. However, Ming Que’s soft and silky hands pressed against his large hands.
Her large bright eyes sparkled, wearing a mischievous yet mysterious smile.
“Brother Biscuit, you want to eat this biscuit, huh? I have an idea to turn this bad biscuit into a good one.”
“Turning it into a good biscuit? For real?” Ning Fan could tell that the so-called good biscuit probably referred to a complete pill.
Is this little girl telling me that she has a way to turn a spoiled pill into a good and complete one?
Every pill refinement master would make mistakes and produce defective pills. The spoiled pills had greater poison than its medicinal effect. Hence, they were completely worthless.
According to rumors, there were some pill devils in ancient times who possessed the ability to purify spoiled pills and refine them into perfect pills.
However, it was rare to find a pill devil in the first place. Moreover, it was said that in a million pill devils, there might not necessarily be even a single person who had that ability.
If Ming Que could really purify that spoiled pill, she would be incredibly impressive.
“Of course, it’s true!”
Ming Que puffed out her cheeks, feeling extremely dissatisfied with Ning Fan’s doubts on her ability.
She opened up the jade bottle and took out that burnt pill. She placed it carefully on the center of her palm.
As she raised her little hand, traces of clear silver starlight rose from her palm.
The starlight formed into a mysterious vortex which extracted the poison and defective elements of the pill.
Under the effect of the starlight, the burnt color on the pill gradually disappeared. What came after that was a smooth and mellow luster.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, that burnt pill turned into a flawless Liancheng Pill!
“Take it!” Ming Que passed that pill to Ning Fan with a smile, as if she was waiting for his praises.
Ning Fan studied the Liancheng Pill and clicked his tongue in wonder.
Since this Liancheng Pill was purified from its earlier defective form, its medicinal power was naturally a bit weaker than that of a perfectly concocted pill. It only had around seventy percent of its original medicinal power.
Even so, Ming Que’s ability to purify spoiled pills had widened Ning Fan’s horizons. He had only read about this kind of ability from ancient books. This was his first time witnessing this ability with his own eyes.
Inwardly, he felt even more intensely that the innate physique of that little pill devil was really impressive.
She already had the royal grade Immemorial Dark Sparrow’s bloodline. With some luck, she could probably improve her bloodline to the ancestral grade and become an old ancestor of the tribe.
Besides, the pill devil’s physique allowed her to obtain nourishment from whatever she ate. In addition, she had a strong physical body which was unrivalled among cultivators at the same level as her and also possessed the ability of purifying spoiled pills.
This little foodie is just too heaven-defying.
If she grows up, her future will be limitless…
“Praise me!” Ming Que puffed up her cheeks again to express her discontentment when she saw that Ning Fan was not actually planning to praise her.
“Good girl…”
Ning Fan patted her head and her face changed immediately. She wore a sweet smile on her confident face, as if she had just done something good.
Meanwhile, she made up her mind to follow Ning Fan in the future without going anywhere else.
Ning Fan did not conceal the fact that he was about to break through to the Sixth Revolution pill refinement realm from Ming Que.
As soon as she thought that he was going to become a ‘Sixth Revolution Biscuit Baking Master’, she made a drooling expression and kept swallowing her saliva.
If she could eat the Ning Fan’s pill biscuits every day, it would certainly be the most blissful thing in her entire life.
