Xue Qing had already prepared the pill cauldron and the earth fire. Ning Fan sat cross-legged in front of the cauldron, channeling the sword qi between his fingers. He slashed horizontally and vertically, making the fire pit twice as big as before. After strengthening the earth fire, he threw the spiritual herbs into the cauldron.
Naturally, these elixirs belonged to the girls.
The little girl showed a vexed expression when she saw her treasured herbs being thrown into the cauldron by Ning Fans.
"Hmph … If the pancakes you make aren't delicious, I'll eat you!"
"We'll know later whether it's delicious or not …"
Ning Fan's expression remained unchanged as he recalled the memories of Ancient Chaos.
In Ancient Chaos' memories, it was mentioned that a Pill Devil swallowed a pill to advance. To Pill Devils, there was only one standard for whether a pill tasted good or not, and that was whether the quality of the pill was high.
The pill he was concocting was called Accumulating Cauldron Pill. It had no other effect but to fuse the energy of the spiritual herbs into one and feed it to the demonic beasts and devil beasts to increase their strength. This pill was a third revolution pill, but to human cultivators, it could only be stored in the furnace and not eaten.
The physique of humans was much weaker than that of demonic beasts. They were unable to endure the violent medicinal energy. However, the medicinal strength of this pill was wild and fierce. To the little girl, perhaps it was a delicacy.
Sure enough, before the pill was formed, a medicinal aroma wafted out. The little girl's eyes immediately filled with desire, and her little hands began to claw at the pill cauldron. She wanted to take the medicinal pill out and eat it.
"It smells so good! This biscuit must be delicious … Bright Sparrow wants to eat it … "
"Wait a minute … this' cake 'isn't ready yet. If you open the lid of the cauldron, this' cake 'will immediately turn into ashes." Ning Fan's expression didn't change as he gave a warning.
So this little girl is called Bright Sparrow?
Bright Sparrow, Dark Sparrow … What was the profound meaning behind them?
When the little girl named Bright Sparrow heard that she would not be able to eat the biscuits after opening the cauldron lid, she immediately withdrew her hand reluctantly, not daring to flip the cauldron lid.
This scene caused Xue Qing to be dumbstruck by this scene.
The lid of the pill refining cauldron was extremely hot. If an ordinary cultivator touched it, it wouldn't be strange if their skin was burned to ashes. This little Pill Devil was scalded by the cauldron, but nothing happened. It was simply … a monster!
However, Xue Qing heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Bright Sparrow didn't lift the cauldron.
It was his first time witnessing Ning Fan concoct a pill with his own eyes. Even though it was a Third Revolution Pill and not a Fourth Revolution Pill, he had only seen a few of the pill concoction techniques in his life.
He had been obsessed with concocting pills all his life. At this moment, he was subdued by Ning Fan's mysterious technique. His mind was only left with the thought of observing the concoction process. His fear of the little girl had long disappeared.
The scene of Ning Fan slapping the lid of the cauldron and withdrawing the Fire Accumulating Pill had been replayed in Xue Qing's mind for more than ten times but he still could not figure out the profound principles behind it.
He heaved a deep sigh. Ning Fan was worthy of being a Fourth Revolution Dan Master. His concoction technique left him in the dust.
This time, Ning Fan did not even need to use a pill bottle to store the pills.
A cauldron of over a dozen Third Revolution Pills. Since the process was simple, it was not difficult to concoct a dozen Third Revolution Pills at the same time.
Once the pill was formed, Bright Sparrow could not wait any longer. She used her small hands to pick up the piping hot pill and placed it into her mouth, chewing it and swallowing it.
A blissful smile appeared on her small face. Her eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at Ning Fan.
"Delicious! The pill biscuits were delicious! I love it! "
"Is that so …"
Ning Fan's eyes fell on the Accumulating Cauldron Pills and shook his head with a smile. This kind of pill contained a huge amount of energy. Only Bright Sparrow with her demon-like physique could devour it. Even if his body refinement realm had reached the Sixth Realm of Silver Light, consuming this pill would only bring more harm than good.
What concerned him the most was that he found out that the quality of the Accumulating Cauldron Pills he concocted was a little higher than before.
Today, he did not concoct the pills seriously and was extremely hasty. However, the quality of the pills he concocted was higher than before.
Why was that?
He released his spirit sense and scanned the pills in Bright Sparrow's small hands. He suddenly found out that there were some damaged lines on each of the pills.
These traces of lines carried an extremely faint trace of Divine Intent, just like the Divine Intent of Rain in the rain!
However, it was not the complete Divine Intent of Rain. It was just damaged. Even so, the quality of the pills he concocted had improved by a lot.
"I have actually comprehended a trace of the Divine Intent of Rain after experiencing the three layers of rain! This … "
Ning Fan's face was full of uncertainty. There was both joy and disappointment in his heart.
He was happy that he had comprehended a trace of the incomplete Divine Intent in the three layers. If he could walk through the nine levels of Dark Sparrow's Grave and experience what Que Shenzi had experienced in the past, he would most likely comprehend the complete Divine Intent of Rain!
If that was the case, he would be able to concoct a Fifth Revolution Pill with the help of the Divine Intent of Rain and become a Fifth Revolution Pill Master!
Compared to the Fourth Revolution, the Fifth Revolution only had the Void Spirit Intent, but the effect of the pill was worlds apart. Fourth Revolution Pill was sought after by Nascent Soul Realm old monsters. If the quality of a Fifth Revolution Pill was higher, even Spirit Severing Realm old monsters would be tempted!
The word 'Spirit' in Spirit Severing Realm was the Divine Intent! Without the Divine Intent, it was impossible to concoct a Fifth Revolution Pill. With the Divine Intent, a Fifth Revolution Pill was enough to tempt a Spirit Severing Realm old monster!
He remembered that the mysterious woman had told him that the Lost World Palace gave preferential treatment to alchemists. If his concoction technique could advance from the Fourth Revolution to the Fifth Revolution, he would be able to enter the higher levels of the Lost World Tower and enjoy the slower flow of time. Advancing to the next level would save him half of the time needed to form the core!
It was precisely because he was overjoyed that he felt disappointed and helpless.
It was easier said than done to comprehend the complete Divine Intent of Rain in all nine levels of Dark Sparrow's Grave. Given his current cultivation base, he would certainly be besieged to death by Nascent Soul demonic beasts if he entered the fourth level. If he entered the fifth level, he wouldn't even have the strength to fight back against Spirit Severing demonic beasts. If he went deeper …
After the seventh level, even the Void Fragmentation old monsters of Rain Palace wouldn't be able to enter. How could he do that? He was being too greedy and insatiable. It was already extremely rare for a peak Harmonious Spirit expert to comprehend a trace of the Divine Intent of Rain. If he wanted to comprehend the complete Divine Intent, not to mention the lack of opportunity, his magical power was far from enough.
"I've been too greedy …"
Ning Fan withdrew his expression. Once again, his heart was being interrogated by his desire. After suppressing his desire, his state of mind had improved.
The fifth level of Dark Sparrow's Grave had the Profound Yin Qi.
The ninth level of Dark Sparrow's Grave had the Immortal Bone of Dark Sparrow and Que Shenzi.
The Min Luo Fruit was hidden in the Dark Sparrow's Grave.
However, it seemed that his opportunity had come to an end.
"Forget it. I'll stay here for the time being and devour the Black Demon Flame."
The Earth Vein Demonic Flames were all Fifth Grade Spiritual Flames. He had two of them, the Black Demon Flame and the White Bone Flame. The Heavenly Frost Cold Qi was cold Qi. He had a type of Bone Prison Qi.
Among the twelve Earth Vein Demonic Flames, the Black Demon Flame was ranked sixth while the White Bone Flame was ranked eleventh. Among the twelve Heavenly Frost Cold Qi, the Bone Prison Qi was ranked twelfth.
With the advancement of his cultivation base and the enlightenment of his cultivation law, Ning Fan had a clearer understanding of his own cultivation law.
His main cultivation law was the Yin Yang Transformation. Under this cultivation law, his Dual Spirit Evil Veins were divided into Black Demon Art and Snow Treading Art.
Dual cultivation of ice and fire, the integration of Yin and Yang, the combination of Yin and Yang, the white robe and black cloak, and even his character of being cold on the outside but warm on the inside … all of these were secretly in line with the Great Dao of Yin and Yang!
After obtaining the pill, the little girl put it back into the brocade pouch and left happily with the pill biscuit in her mouth. No one knew where she went.
After laying down the defensive formation in the third level of Dark Sparrow's Grave, Ning Fan spent the entire ten days in seclusion, devouring the two types of demonic flames.
Perhaps this was the last time his magical power would improve before he formed his core!
...
It only took him ten days to devour the Black Demon Flame. It wasn't only because he had refined one of the nine dragons, but also because this flame had been tamed by the Old Monster for many years. When he passed it to Ning Fan, the Old Monster had erased the spiritual sense of the Black Demon Flame to reduce the difficulty of devouring it.
After refining the Black Demon Flame, black flames could be vaguely seen flickering in Ning Fan's eyes. With a casual point of his finger, nine black fire dragons were ready to come out! With this flame, no one in the Harmonious Spirit realm could withstand the Nine Dragons Black Flame without using magical techniques!
Along with the refinement of the Black Demon Flame, Ning Fan's cultivation base broke through again, taking the last step towards the Gold Core realm.
An illusory black fire core was condensed in his dantian. Around his body, a vast aura spread out like a gale!
His cultivation base had broken through the half-step Gold Core realm and reached the False Core realm!
An illusory core had already condensed in his body. Breaking through to the Gold Core realm from the False Core realm had increased his success rate by another five percent. Going into seclusion after breaking through to the Gold Core realm would save him a few years of bitter cultivation.
With his magical power doubled, it would be easier for Ning Fan to win against Bai Feiteng.
The blazing magical Qi made Xue Qing gasp for breath. Ning Fan's Qi seemed to be even stronger than the ten strongest Old Monsters in Yue Country.
The pupil had surpassed the master!
"False Core … I only need to sever my emotions to reach the Gold Core realm."
Ning Fan closed his eyes slightly. There was no joy of breaking through, only worry.
For the first time, he realized that his state of mind couldn't keep up with the advancement of his cultivation base.
After refining the Black Demon Flame, there was still the Whitebone Flame in the Yin Yang Locket to be refined, but Ning Fan didn't refine it yet.
If he devoured it again, it would be hard for him to suppress his cultivation base. He had to go into seclusion immediately to form his core, otherwise, his body would explode and he would die.
Moreover, he could vaguely feel that he should devour the cold Qi and demonic flame according to the rhythm of one fire and one ice. This way, he would be able to obtain great benefits from the Great Dao of Yin and Yang.
He didn't know what the benefits would be, but this was his intuition. This was a cultivator's intuition after his cultivation base had reached a certain level. It was also his understanding of cultivation methods.
"With my current strength … going to the fourth level is equivalent to courting death …"
Ning Fan looked at a huge pit in the third level of the grave and let out a sigh. He couldn't go beyond the fourth level … so he could only let go of the Profound Yin Qi.
It was said that if one could obtain all the twelve Heavenly Frost Cold Qi or the twelve Earth Vein Demonic Flames, he would be able to fight against a Void Fragmentation expert. However, Ning Fan was a dual spirit cultivator. If he could obtain six of the cold Qi and demonic flame, he would have twelve of them. Therefore, he didn't need the Profound Yin Qi …
He gazed at the huge pit and shook his head slightly. It would be great if he could enter the fourth level …
He turned around and was about to leave. But at this moment, a black-clothed girl leaped from the huge pit to the third level, ignoring the forbidden force of flying.
"Aiyaya! Cookie Master Brother, you haven't left yet? That's great … I still want to eat some pill cookies. Can you make them for me?"
All of a sudden, Ning Fan's eyes sparkled.
He might as well let this little girl of unknown origin bring him to all the nine levels of Dark Sparrow's Grave!
Although he didn't know the success rate of this move, it was worth a try …
"I can concoct pills for you, but you have to promise me one thing."
Ning Fan's eyes flickered. The little girl's body shuddered and instinctively took a step back.
"Promise what … if you want my 'Medicine Baby', I can't give it to you … Cloud Baby, I can't give it to you … Rain Baby, they are all my babies …"
"I don't want your babies … I just want to go to the lower levels of Dark Sparrow's Grave to have a look."
"That's it? That's easy. I'll bring you there and no one will dare to eat you! Quick, make me some pill cookies. When they are delicious, I'll bring you to whichever level you want to go to! "
Bright Sparrow patted her chest and vowed solemnly, as if she was afraid that Ning Fan would go back on his words.
Wasn't it just going to Dark Sparrow's Grave? It's not a big deal … it's too simple!
The more she looked at Ning Fan, the more she found him pleasing to her eyes. He was simply the most good-looking human she had ever seen.
Moreover, she especially liked this human, who was also a biscuit master.
'What a fascinating occupation … One day, I'll become a biscuit refiner too!'
...
"Pa"
The lid of the cauldron was slapped open. A wisp of pill fragrance rushed out, intoxicating Bright Sparrow. She stretched her neck and kept smelling it.
Holding a pile of fragrant pill cookies in her hands, she was going to bring Ning Fan to the fourth level of Dark Sparrow's Grave as promised. With her leading the way, none of the Nascent Soul demonic beasts along the way would dare to attack Ning Fan!
"Master, you go. I won't be going … Ten days have passed in the first level of Dark Sparrow's Grave. I wonder how Master's wives are doing … disciple is worried. I'm willing to protect Master's wives on behalf of Master …"
Xue Qing's words were pleasant to hear, but in his heart, he was afraid of the fourth level of Dark Sparrow's Grave.
Nascent Soul demonic beasts … Xue Qing didn't want to confront them.
With Si Wuxie and the spiritual fire of the Dan Fragmentation Cauldron, the girls didn't need Xue Qing's protection. But since Xue Qing insisted on leaving, Ning Fan naturally wouldn't stop him.
"En, you can go back now …"
Ning Fan could see the fear in Xue Qing's eyes, but he didn't expose it. After Xue Qing left, Ning Fan held the Separation Slayer in his hand as if he was facing a formidable enemy. Then, he leaped into the huge pit of the fourth level with the little girl.
"Hold me. Don't get lost … or else, those wolf babies will eat you …"
Bright Sparrow made a funny face and grabbed Ning Fan's hand with her little hand. The tremendous force wasn't something that Ning Fan could break free from …
Ning Fan felt touched, but at the same time, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
What if the Nascent Soul demonic beasts weren't deterred by the little girl when they reached the fourth level and continued to attack him? How was he going to escape if he was held by the little girl?
While he was pondering, the fourth level of Dark Sparrow's Grave came into view.
