Chapter 503 - Luo You Woke Up (1/2)
Within just one day, Ming Que had already purified 29 tufts of one hundred thousand years old spiritual herbs. She was clearly giving her best to purify them.
Other than the 15 tufts of spiritual herbs which were kept in a jade box placed beside her, all the other purified spiritual herbs had her teeth marks. All of them were stained with lots of her saliva.
Every time this little girl purified a tuft of spiritual herb, she would give them one or two bites, destroying the components of the herbs.
It was unknown whether she was so fond of these herbs that she could not restrain herself or she was thinking that Ning Fan would not take them from her after she had bitten them.
Is this the cunning idea of a kid who is trying to hoard all the food…?
Ning Fan took the 15 tufts of one hundred thousand years old spiritual herbs without knowing whether to laugh or cry. Then, he left the rest of the spiritual herbs that were covered in saliva to Ming Que.
“Please help yourself. There is no need to rush… Don’t worry, I won’t take them from you.”
“Really? Are you really not going to touch my medicine babies?” The little girl blinked, looking a little unconvinced. Meanwhile, she took a bite on the thirtieth tuft of spiritual herb which she had just purified.
“Silly girl…”
Ning Fan shook his head helplessly. Su Yan felt that his current expression was a little hilarious.
“I’m off to do something. You two should stay here and rest. Don’t go running around.”
Just as his voice fell, he disappeared in a flash and entered the Profound Yin World again.
He had already gathered 15 tufts of one hundred thousand years old spiritual herbs. They were enough to harmonize the final three pieces of the dark golden lightning bamboo leaves.
Ning Fan appeared in the foggy sky with a body as light as wind. He walked into the thatched cottage without making any sound to avoid disturbing Luo You who was still asleep.
He activated his intent realm power and formed a small dark cauldron which was only a little over one chi* (30.7 cm per chi) tall. It kind of looked like the miniature version of the Dan Fragmentation Cauldron.
He took out every single tuft of one hundred thousand years old spiritual herbs. Then, he summoned a ball of devil flames to heat them up repeatedly.
Two hours later, all fifteen tufts of spiritual herbs were turned into droplets of viscous green medicinal liquid but they did not undergo the refinement process.
Since the medicinal liquid was not going to be used for pill refinement but for harmonizing the power of the dark golden lightning bamboo leaves, there was no need to refine them repeatedly and extract their essence.
Afterward, Ning Fan took out an agate jade bowl which contained a blood mark and poured the viscous medicinal liquid into it. He then put in the three pieces of dark golden lightning bamboo leaves.
As he applied his magic power, the lightning bamboo leaves melted into the medicinal liquid very quickly.
The liquid which was green at first immediately became as dark as ink.
“Finally, it’s time to wake you up…” Ning Fan looked at the white-robed beauty who was sleeping soundly and peacefully. His eyes flashed with complicated emotions.
This lady had helped him countless times throughout his cultivation journey. This time, however, it would be his turn to help her.
When Ning Fan first encountered her, he was merely a Vein Opening Realm cultivator.
Today, however, he had grown and attained the Reckless Devil Realm…
After standing in silence for a while, he suddenly held the agate jade bowl and drank all of the medicinal liquid.
The medicine was extremely bitter but Ning Fan did not really mind its taste. He held the liquid in his mouth without swallowing it.
Then, he went to the side of the bed and gently leaned forward toward Luo You. He pushed his mouth toward Luo You’s ice cold lips, manually feeding her the medicine using his mouth. Slowly, all the medicinal liquid went into Luo You’s body.
The dark golden lightning bamboo leaves were fundamentally medicine to repair one’s primordial spirit. As the medicinal liquid flowed throughout Luo You’s body, her primordial spirit gave off faint flashes of black lightning. Her aura force began to rise dramatically at this moment.
Ning Fan immediately rose to his feet and wiped his mouth. Luo You’s unique fragrance still lingered around his lips. The strange feeling inside him became even more intense.
After putting all of his emotions behind him, he stood still while staring at Luo You, observing her aura force which was increasing steadily and rapidly.
Luo You’s aura force kept rising, gradually advancing toward the Second Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm.
Her demure and beautiful body gently floated above the bed, staying afloat in midair. As her aura force spread out from her body, her white dress fluttered lightly.
She was still asleep but her brows were tightly drawn together. Her forehead was also beaded with fine sweat, as if she was in great pain.
The pain she felt was still intensifying, making her breathing more rapid and heavy.
All of a sudden, she opened her eyes. They were filled with pain and agony.
It was a mere few seconds before she broke through to the Second Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm. At this moment, however, it felt like ten thousand years.
Is he the one who woke me up…? Is he Ning Fan?
Luo You looked at the white-robed young man who was standing right in front of her. Even though the both of them had known each other for many years, it was her first time meeting him in person.
When she thought of Ning Fan wholeheartedly looking for the medicine to wake her up from her slumber, her face became filled with complicated emotions. Immediately, she put up a strong and determined face, looking like she was no longer afraid of any pain.
At this moment, she just wanted to hide her soft side. She did not want others to see it. That was it.
“Silly younger brother, thank you for waking me up. However, I am at the critical moment of advancing to the Second Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm. Thus, I will not be greeting you. For now, get one million li* (500m per li) away from this thatched cottage so that you won’t be affected by my aura force. Astral Wind Secret Art…”
Her tone of voice was lazy but slightly enchanting at the same time. Her eyes then became as deep as the ocean, hiding her true emotions from anyone’s sight.
She combed her hair and put it in a bun. Her hair might be messy but it did not affect her elegance at all. As she waved her hand, a massive wave of Void Fragmentation Realm aura force turned into a gust of astral wind, directly sending Ning Fan one million li* (500m per li) away from the cottage!
It gave him a jolt. This astral wind had power which was nearly at the Second Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm, depriving him of any strength to resist. All he could do was to let the wind carry him one million li* (500m per li) away.
The astral wind dispersed after. When Ning Fan had just regained his balance, the thatched cottage which was now one million li* (500m per li) away from him suddenly released layers of sea waves formed from magic power, covering the entire sky!
At this very moment, Luo You successfully advanced to the Second Heavenly Layer!
As for the aura force she released in the process, it shattered the entire hollow space within the vicinity of one million li* (500m per li) and the thatched cottage was directly turned to ashes.
If it wasn’t for Luo You sending Ning Fan away in time, he would have certainly been inflicted with severe injuries by this wave of aura force.
The sea of magic power gradually diminished.
One million li* (500m per li) away, a calm lady wearing a snow white dress walked toward Ning Fan in gentle lotus steps with a languid smile on her face.
By making a single step, she could travel across a distance of one million li* (500m per li)!
With just a touch of her finger, all the remnant force of her magic power was scattered, fixing the hollow space within the vicinity!
“It feels really great to regain my power. My good younger brother, you didn’t get hurt, did you?”
The lady’s expression seemed concerned but the way she asked was casual and indifferent.
“Well, your aura force didn’t get to hurt me so I’m fine. But I sympathize with that thatched cottage…” Ning Fan replied with a smile. Then, he took out a fifty thousand years old spiritual herb.
Using his magic power, that branch rapidly grew, producing countless leaves. Its roots grew longer while its stem grew thicker, turning into a long and thick trunk.
