After a year, Ning Fan who had finished healing his wounds finally contacted Taiyuan Du personally and reported the details of the battle that day.
At the same time, Ning Fan also received news from Taiyuan Ferry. Today, not only the Eleventh Water Route which he was in had been completely conquered, the Second, Fifth and Seventh Water Routes had also been completely conquered.
The First, Fourth, Eighth, Tenth, and Twelfth Waterways had also reached their final stages. It would take at least a few months, and at most a year or two at most to recover all of them.
Only the Third, Sixth, and Ninth Water Paths, which were connected to the West, North, and South Heaven Domains, were in a stalemate with the foreign races. The battle over there was beginning to reach its climax. It was said that even some of the Deputy Alliance Chiefs had been sent to the frontlines of the Third, Sixth, and Ninth Water Paths …
Ning Fan took the initiative to request to leave the Eleventh Path and join the battle in the Thirteenth, Sixth and Ninth Paths where the situation was more intense. Unfortunately, his request was rejected by Emperor Cang.
[Although the battles in the Third, Sixth, and Ninth Paths are intense, the enemy doesn't have many Immortal Emperors. As long as we spend more time, we'll be able to conquer them. Brother, don't forget that reclaiming the water pass is only the first step of our plan. The reason for the chaos of the foreign clans was that there was a problem with the seal of the Celestial Emperor at the bottom of the river. Once all the water forts are reclaimed, it will be time for me to take action. At that time, I will have no choice but to take the risk and head to the bottom of the river, to the heart of the outsiders, and complete the magnificent feat of repairing the Celestial Emperor's seal. This matter is extremely dangerous. I wonder what Little Brother has thought about it. Are you willing to participate in this operation?]
Naturally, he had to participate! Very quickly, Ning Fan gave Emperor Cang an affirmative answer, making him and the others overjoyed.
A man's name is like a tree's shadow. After confirming that Ning Fan was going to join them, everyone's confidence rose by a lot.
He could only blame the fact that there were too many people in the Eastern Heaven that he cared about. For this reason alone, no matter how dangerous the operation to repair the Immortal Sovereign's seal was, he would not reject it. He no longer needed to continue considering this matter!
When he thought about how he would have to repair the Immortal Sovereign Realm's seal in another ten years or so, he was no longer in a hurry to go to other waterways to fight against the foreign races.
Continuing to improve his strength and increase the success rate of this operation was the most important thing.
A few days later, Ning Fan disguised himself as a fish and dived to the bottom of the Realm River.
This time, he didn't dive into the water with great fanfare. Instead, he moved stealthily, even deceiving the cultivators in the pass.
Since Ning Fan had transformed into a Mount Tai Fish to seize the Sea Steadying Divine Needle and killed the Dragon Horse Crown Prince while ignoring the magnetic force of the Realm River, all the members of the foreign races were shocked by his actions.
They did not expect that Ning Fan, who was a cultivator of the Eastern Heaven, would have such capabilities. He could move freely at the bottom of the river and even disguise himself as a member of a foreign race, making it hard for others to recognize him … For a moment, all the major clans of the eleven paths acted as if they were facing a great enemy. They were afraid that Ning Fan would disguise himself and sneak into the bottom of the river to assassinate the experts of their clans.
All the major aquatic clans were on high alert. As soon as Ning Fan entered the water, he noticed this.
First of all, there were more Outsiders patrolling the bottom of the river.
Secondly, when Ning Fan disguised himself as a strange catfish who had returned to his ancestry and wanted to sneak into the Strange Catfish Clan to steal the Yin Heavy Wood, he was actually forbidden from entering the city by the experts of the clan. The reason was that he looked unfamiliar. During special times, all unfamiliar faces were not allowed to enter the clan grounds.
Then, Ning Fan disguised himself as the Ice Eye Fish, the Sea Emperor Carp and the Fire Wing Carp … However, those clans were the same as the Strange Catfish Clan. They did not give him a chance to sneak in at all.
Obviously, the actual situation of entering the water this time was different from the last time. He could not use the same trick as the last time.
Disguising himself as a member of a foreign clan, returning to his ancestry, committing a crime on purpose, controlling the enemy with an illusion technique and locking him in the underground mineral vein … These were the tricks that Ning Fan used last time.
Ghost Face went invisible, the Fate Severing Sword isolated the heavenly secrets and directly sneaked into the enemy's territory. Then, he used an illusion technique to control the clan leader and found a random excuse to open the underground mineral vein to sneak in … These were the tricks that Ning Fan used this time.
One had to admit that the Fate Severing Sword was very useful. When used together with Ghost Face, none of the sensing formations of the various clans could detect Ning Fan's intrusion.
Because he was moving in stealth this time, Ning Fan did not need to specifically choose the clans of fish to invade. As long as it was a force below the immortal emperor realm, he would visit all of them.
Ning Fan did not steal from the clans of the immortal emperor realm. It was because he discovered that the Yin Heavy Wood mineral vein of the immortal emperor realm clans was actually vastly different from the mineral vein of the Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings clans.
For some reason, the Celestial Emperor's Yin Sunken Wood mine was connected to the Celestial Emperor's seal in the East Jie River! If Ning Fan touches the Yin Heavy Wood of an Immortal Emperor Force, it would probably cause damage to the Immortal Sovereign's seal …
Ning Fan had already made up his mind to participate in the operation to repair the Immortal Sovereign's seal. How would he be willing to take the initiative to destroy the seal? The collapse of a thousand-mile dike can be caused by an ant hole. If the restoration of the Immortal Sovereign's seal failed because of his greed for the eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood from the Immortal Emperor Clan, he would not be able to redeem himself even if he died ten thousand times …
After weighing the pros and cons, he gave up on the idea of stealing the Immortal Emperors' Gloomy Heavy Wood and focused on stealing the Immortal Lords' and Immortal Kings' clans.
One day later, Ning Fan retraced his steps and snuck back to the Strange Catfish Clan. Three days later, he secretly left the Strange Catfish Clan, bringing with him more than one million jin of Yin Heavy Wood and hundreds of pure wood dragons that were condensed from the wood qi of the underground world …
On the fourth day, Ning Fan visited the Ice Eye Clan and obtained 94 jin of eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood …
On the seventh day, Ning Fan visited the Sea Emperor Carp Clan …
On the eleventh day, Ning Fan visited the Sea Emperor Carp Clan …
Unlike the last time, because the Immemorial Lightning Cauldron and the Flame Lightning Fire that were of the highest grade were occupied by the Sixteen Heart Pill, Ning Fan was not in a hurry to start concocting the pill. Instead, he kept the items in his hands first.
In the blink of an eye, ten months had passed. Ning Fan had robbed more than one hundred Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings' forces in the entire eleven water paths!
Apart from those Immortal Emperors' clans, the remaining eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood had all gone into Ning Fan's hands …
When mortals describe their wealth, they would often say that they were as wealthy as a country. Ning Fan felt that he could not say that he was as wealthy as a country. It would be more accurate to say that he was as wealthy as the Eastern Heavens or even the Four Heavens!
After robbing the eleven water paths, he obtained a total of two hundred and forty thousand jin of eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood. If he uses all of them to concoct the Immeasurable Pill, it might be enough for all the Thought Breaking Old Monsters in the Four Heavens to break through to the Immortal Venerable Realm …
After all, a mere five hundred Immeasurable Pills would be enough for an ordinary Peak Thought Breaking Realm expert to break through to the Immortal Venerable Realm. Ning Fan, on the other hand, was different. His Divine Spirit Crippled Body was too domineering. In the past, he had used tens of thousands of Immeasurable Pills to allow his cultivation base to break through to the Immortal Venerable Realm.
Moreover, the effect of the Immeasurable Pill would be reduced by half every time the cultivator advanced to the next level of the Eternal Ancient Realm. It was somewhat similar to the cultivation of the First Step of the Void Fragmentation Realm. The consumption of Immeasurable Pills would be greatly increased. In that case, even though Ning Fan had a lot of eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood in his hands, he was not sure to what level his cultivation base would rise to after devouring all of them.
Greed was the nature of human beings. Ning Fan was no exception either. Since these eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood were the resources of his enemies, he did not mind being greedy for a little more.
How could it be enough to only rob the eleven water paths?
Coincidentally, during the ten months that Ning Fan was robbing, the twelve water paths which were closer to the eleventh water path had been completely recovered. Ning Fan made up his mind and directly swam to the twelfth water path and began to steal the Yin Heavy Wood of the twelve water paths …
The amount of Yin Heavy Wood in the twelfth water path was not as much as the eleventh water path. In less than nine months, Ning Fan had already robbed all the Immortal Venerables and Immortal King Realm forces of the twelve water paths without anyone noticing.
Coincidentally, during these nine months, the tenth water path had also been completely recovered. The first water path had also been completely recovered.
Thus, Ning Fan went to the tenth water path without hesitation and began to steal as much as he could. By the time he finished robbing the tenth water path, other than the third, sixth and ninth water paths, he had already completely recovered all the other water paths.
Logically speaking, after Ning Fan finished robbing the tenth water path, he should go to the ninth water path along the way. However, the situation in the ninth water path was a little special. With his Boundless Rain Sense, Ning Fan sensed the presence of Quasi-Saints in this water path. Moreover, it was not just one but two!
Considering that the ninth water path was connected to the Southern Heaven, its geographical location was especially important. It was not strange for there to be two Quasi-Saints of foreign races to guard it.
Since there were Quasi-Saints guarding this place, Ning Fan did not act recklessly in the ninth water path. He realized that the mineral veins in the ninth water path were being sensed by the two Quasi-Saints. As long as someone opens the underground mineral veins without permission, the two Quasi-Saints would certainly approach them and interrogate them …
As such, Ning Fan had no choice but to let go of the ninth water path. He crossed the region and went to the eighth water path to steal as much as he could.
After he finished robbing the eighth water path, he went to the seventh water path. When he reached the sixth water path, he realized that there were six to seven Quasi-Saints there. He became even more cautious. The sixth water path was connected to the Northern Heaven. The number of Quasi-Saints in the water path leading to the Northern Heaven far exceeded the number of Quasi-Saints in the water path leading to the Southern Heaven. Rumor had it that the situation in the Northern Heaven was the most dangerous. Now, it seemed like the rumor was not false …
Ning Fan bypassed the sixth water path and stole all the Quasi-Saints in the fifth and fourth water paths. Then, he bypassed the third water path which was guarded by a Quasi-Saint and went to the second and first water paths.
When Ning Fan returned to the Ling Yun Pass after robbing the entire Eastern Border River, it had already been eleven years since he dived into the Border River for the second time!
The total amount of eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood in the Profound Yin World had reached a terrifying two hundred and twenty thousand jin!
This amount of Yin Heavy Wood was enough to make all the Quasi-Saints in the Four Heavens move out to rob him!
Ning Fan knew the severity of the matter. He would never let anyone know about this matter! He was not a saint. He would not share these eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood with the cultivators of the Eastern Heaven. It was because he knew that no matter how righteous the Eastern Heaven's cultivators were, they still had their own selfish motives.
As the ancients said, friends can go through thick and thin together, but they cannot share riches and honor together.
As the saying goes, great kindness is also great enmity.
The great war was imminent. If he shares a large amount of eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood with the other cultivators of the Eastern Heaven, what he would gain would not be gratitude but the greed and schemes of countless people …
The alliance of the Border River which was originally united against the outsiders might even fall apart because of the temptation of a large amount of eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood …
Even if it was the two Divine Void Emperors or Old Devil Bai, which one of them did not need Immeasurable Pills in their cultivation process? To those existences, a small amount of Immeasurable Pills might not be enough to attract their attention. However, a large amount of Immeasurable Pills would be enough to pave their path to the Quasi-Saint Realm. Who knows what they would do if they find out about this matter …
"Eleven years have passed. Those few Incense Flame Slaves seem to have almost finished concocting my Sixteen Heart Pill. In that case, I can free up the Immemorial Lightning Cauldron and the Flame Lightning Fire to concoct the Immeasurable Pill …"
"There's one more thing which is very troublesome. Even though I have a large amount of eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood with me, it's not enough to concoct the Immeasurable Pill. I still need other medicinal ingredients … "
When he thought of this, Ning Fan suddenly felt a headache. This is really a happy worry.
Where am I going to get the same amount of other medicinal ingredients …?
The Eastern Heaven certainly can't plunder so many medicinal ingredients. It probably won't even be enough to make up for the small change.
As expected, I can only rely on the Ancient Country Trading Formation …
Ning Fan got in touch with the old man from the Heaven Piercing Sect through the Ancient Country Trading Formation. Unfortunately, the other party could not fulfill his request this time.
"Sigh. It's difficult. It's too difficult! The amount of medicinal ingredients that Fellow Daoist needs is too huge. Each of them actually needs a few hundred thousand jin … The warehouse of my sect doesn't have so much stock at all. It's hard to even make up for the small change. You should know that all the stock had been bought by a large sect from a certain True World in one go … Besides, even if there are enough medicinal ingredients, the price of such a large amount of medicinal ingredients will not be lower than ten thousand gold … To be honest with Fellow Daoist, my position in the sect isn't considered high. My authority is rather limited. I've already given up my face to help Fellow Daoist pay a few hundred gold on credit. If it's a transaction of more than ten thousand gold, forgive me for not being able to … "
The old man's tone was very honest. He really did not have the ability to help Ning Fan write an IOU of ten thousand gold …
After hearing his words, Ning Fan also felt deeply helpless. He sighed and did not force the old man to do such a thing which was obviously beyond his ability.
Speaking of which, this matter was really too ridiculous.
When other people concoct the Immeasurable Pill, they would lack the hardest to find eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood. Ning Fan, on the other hand, did not lack Yin Heavy Wood. Instead, he lacked various kinds of cheap materials …
The old man was originally sighing. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and said happily, "By the way, I have a piece of information here. Perhaps it can help Fellow Daoist. Fellow Daoist, do you still remember the second method of using our sect's Trading Formation?! "
Ning Fan pondered for a moment and answered, "Of course I do. On one hand, the Ancient Country Trading Formation allows one to directly purchase goods from the Heaven Reaching Sect. On the other hand, it also allows one to conduct private transactions with the cultivators from the outside world. However, I remember that Fellow Daoist once mentioned that if cultivators conduct private transactions, they will face a huge risk because they are avoiding the power of the Ancient Country Scale. About one-third of the transactions will fail due to the turbulence of time and space, resulting in a loss of both goods and money … "
The old man said, "That's right. It is indeed very risky for cultivators to conduct private transactions. However, it seems like this is the only way to help Fellow Daoist gather the materials for concocting the pill. From what I see, Fellow Daoist is buying these medicinal materials to concoct the Immeasurable Pill, am I right? Moreover, the amount of each of the medicinal materials that Fellow Daoist is collecting is extremely huge. However, you are not collecting the most precious eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood … I reckon that Fellow Daoist must have a large amount of eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood in your hands, am I right? "
Ning Fan said, "That's right."
The old man said, "Forgive me for asking but how much eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood does Fellow Daoist have? If it is more than one hundred thousand jin, I have a business that will definitely make a profit. I am willing to provide it to Fellow Daoist. It can solve your urgent problem. "
Ning Fan said, "Oh? I would like to hear the details. "
The old man said, "It's like this. In a certain high-grade Illusionary World, a Senior Incipient Saint posted a request for goods to our sect. She needs at least one hundred thousand jin of eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood."
After hearing what the old man said, Ning Fan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't plan to sell the eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood in my hands." He planned to keep them for himself to improve his cultivation base. Why would he sell them for money? Is he stupid?
The old man said, "That's not true. It's not an ordinary sale. Since the Senior Incipient Saint is willing to barter with me, she seems to have a large amount of finished Immeasurable Pills in her hands. It turns out that she is going to use them to exchange for the eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood. "
Ning Fan's eyes lit up. "Barter with me? If I directly exchange the Yin Heavy Wood for her finished Immeasurable Pills, not only can I save myself the trouble of collecting other medicinal materials, but I can also save a lot of time in pill concoction. This is a good deal. However, I don't know what is the ratio of the other party. "
With Ning Fan's pill concoction technique, one jin of eight hundred million Yin Heavy Wood could probably produce two Immeasurable Pills.
Of course, if he accumulates experience through a large amount of concoction, there should be room for his success rate to increase and he could produce three pills for one jin of wood.
Considering the risks of the transaction, the cost of the other medicinal materials and the time needed for pill concoction, as long as the price offered by the other party reaches two pills for one jin of wood, he would be willing to carry out this transaction.
If the ratio is lower than this, he would have to consider it carefully …
The old man said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist. Since I said that this transaction will definitely be profitable, the ratio will certainly satisfy Fellow Daoist. The other party is willing to exchange four Immeasurable Pills for one jin of Yin Heavy Wood. For every fifty thousand jin of Yin Heavy Wood that Fellow Daoist offers, that senior is willing to increase the ratio by one more pill … "
In other words, if Ning Fan is carrying out a transaction of two hundred and twenty thousand jin of Yin Heavy Wood, the ratio would be one to five!
This ratio was much higher than what he expected in his heart!
Even if he loses a third of the Immeasurable Pills that he would get in the end, the ratio would still be more than one to three. It was just too worth it!
The old man continued, "That senior has another purpose for purchasing eight hundred million pieces of Yin Heavy Wood. That's why he's willing to use the Immeasurable Pills that he doesn't need for this transaction. If Fellow Daoist is interested in this transaction, I can tell you the contact method of that senior and help Fellow Daoist contact that senior. She will then activate the ancient country's transaction formation and wait for Fellow Daoist to contact her … "
"Thank you again."
…
A few days later, Ning Fan contacted the old man from the Heaven Reaching Cult through the ancient country's transaction formation. He learned that the senior had already taken some time out and was currently waiting for Ning Fan to contact him through the formation.
Hence, Ning Fan switched to another ancient country's transaction formation that specialized in private transactions. He entered the address of that senior in the ancient country's address into the formation.
The myriad worlds in the heavens were just an imaginary number. The number of worlds in this world was originally endless and it was hard to see the edge of it.
If Ning Fan did not know the other party's address, the difficulty of completing the structure of the ancient country's transaction formation would be no less than searching for a speck of dust in the entire Eastern Heaven.
Knowing the address was much easier.
Ning Fan was unwilling to reveal his address in the Illusionary World. However, the other party did not seem to have such concerns. The address that was marked was [Little Mountain World]. Behind it was a long string of coordinates.
According to the old man from the Heaven Reaching Cult, the Little Mountain World seemed to be a high-grade Illusionary World that could nurture Saints. Judging from this, the Illusionary World that Ning Fan was staying in was definitely not a high-grade Illusionary World. After all, it could not give birth to a Saint …
* Ding ding ding *
It was the sound of the ancient country's transaction formation connecting the two parties!
Before Ning Fan could say anything, a gentle and pleasant female voice came from the other end of the ancient country's transaction formation.
"Hello." The other party greeted him politely.
"A woman?" Ning Fan was stunned.
He only knew that the person who wanted to trade with him was a senior at the Incipient Saint Realm. He did not know that it was a woman …
"Is there anything wrong with a woman?" The woman in front of him seemed to be a little displeased. However, even if she was displeased, she still behaved politely. She was neither anxious nor annoyed. It seemed like she was not really angry.
Ning Fan knew that he was being rude and apologized. "I'm sorry."
He did not explain much.
After all, it was just a transaction of fate. After the transaction, they would probably part ways …
