The little girl's hand contained boundless strength. If it wasn't for Ning Fan's extraordinary physical body, perhaps just the strength of her grip would be enough to severely injure him.
After entering the fourth floor, the little girl stomped her foot on the ground and a Four-Marked Immortal Cloud immediately rose from the ground. Ning Fan felt that this cloud was familiar. It was the same cloud he saw in the rain pond.
"Tell me, where do you want to see the rain? I'll take you there!"
The little girl held a pill in her mouth. Her long eyelashes curved into the shape of a crescent moon as she smiled sweetly.
There was nothing better than eating delicious pill biscuits. Ning Fan was a good person. She wanted to show him around the world!
The Four-Stripe Immortal Cloud was instantly comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator. The little girl shot a beam of black light at the cloud. The cloud was enveloped by a sinister wind, and its speed doubled again. It was comparable to the speed of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.
Above the immortal cloud, Ning Fan closed his eyes, letting the raindrops wet his face. In the surroundings, there were shadows of Nascent Soul Realm demonic beasts leaping out from time to time. It seemed like they were attracted by the smell of Ning Fan's blood and flesh. Each of them was ready to eat Ning Fan.
But every time this happened, the little girl would snort and wave her fists, causing the beasts to show signs of struggle and scatter.
It was unknown what the identity of the little girl was, but the demonic beasts here all seemed to obey her commands.
"Big Brother Biscuit, don't worry. With me here, no one can hurt you!" The little girl stuck out her chest and smiled proudly.
“...”
"Biscuit Brother, except for Grandpa, I'm not afraid of anyone in this Dark Sparrow's Grave … Don't worry, no one can bully you!"
“...”
The little girl was chattering nonstop, trying to please Ning Fan. As for her purpose, it was obvious. She wanted to gain some benefits after pleasing Ning Fan.
Ning Fan felt helpless towards the way the little girl addressed him … If the cultivators in the outside world knew that he, the dignified 'Revered Ning', was called 'Brother Biscuit' by a little girl, his reputation would be ruined …
Gradually, he could no longer hear the clamor of the little girl. He could only hear the rain falling on his heart.
There was no rain in the third layer, but the fourth layer was like the first and second layers, with rain falling continuously.
However, if one had to point out some differences, there were still some. Along with a trace of understanding towards the Divine Intent of Rain, Ning Fan discovered that the rain in the first level was gloomy and cold. It was the coldness of spring. As for the second layer of rain, it was even colder, but it had the feeling of a torrential summer rain …
As for the rain on the fourth level, it was lonely and desolate with a hint of solemnity. This was the autumn rain.
The rain in the nine levels of Dark Sparrow's Grave wasn't different from each other, but after Que Shenzi's comprehension, the rain in each level was endowed with different degrees of Divine Intent of Rain, from shallow to deep, from simple to complicated. What was rare in this world wasn't the Void God Intent, but the process of comprehending the Void God Intent step by step. This process was contained in the rain.
After experiencing the lack of rain in the third level, Que Shenzi would definitely be lonely and desolate in the fourth level.
He must have stayed in the fourth floor for a very long time, probably tens of thousands of years. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a feeling of loneliness.
Ning Fan couldn't help but be invaded by the autumn rain. Gradually, his heart became one with the rain and he could hear the deep sighs in the rain.
"The cultivation of Dao, at the end, is lonely … Relatives may still be grieving, others have already sung, what is the Dao of death, the body of the same mountain … This loneliness, like the rain, never dispersing, like the autumn, messing up the heart … But without this process of loneliness, the Dao cannot be cultivated. The rain is not lonely, but my heart is lonely, so the rain is also lonely. This is the Divine Intent of Rain … "
The girl descended the immortal cloud to avoid disturbing Ning Fan's enlightenment. As for Ning Fan, he stood in the rain and remained silent for a long time.
Loneliness … This meaning seemed to be insufficient to explain the Dao of Que Shenzi's entire life. It wasn't enough to fuse with the Divine Intent of Rain!
"Let's go to the fifth level …"
"Alright! But I don't have enough pill biscuits … "The girl evaded his eyes and smiled wickedly.
"After the fifth level, I will concoct pills for you again!"
"Don't go back on your words!"
The girl immediately became spirited. Without the company of pill biscuits, this rain would be extremely boring.
She leapt onto the immortal cloud and flew as fast as lightning. Along the way, every Nascent Soul demonic beast that smelled a trace of pill fragrance from her seemed to have recalled something extremely terrifying and crouched on the ground, not daring to move.
The cloud entered the huge pit of the Fourth City and descended to the fifth level. All of a sudden, the continuous autumn rain turned into a cold winter rain.
Although it was extremely cold, the rain didn't turn into ice … This kind of divine ability was beyond common sense.
Rain was rain, even the icy rain was different from ice! Ning Fan's eyes flashed.
Faintly, he felt that the icy rain in the fifth level was starting to become extraordinary. This extraordinary feeling was bestowed by the Divine Intent of Rain!
He recalled the magical technique that he had learned – Icy Rain Technique … This technique was insignificant as it was only a Spirit Realm magical technique, but it matched the current situation.
No matter how proficient Ning Fan's Icy Rain Technique was, the rain would eventually turn into icicles … because without the Divine Intent of Rain, the rain would no longer be rain.
He closed his eyes to comprehend the Divine Intent of Rain. There were a few Spirit Severing demonic beasts hiding in the surroundings. These demonic beasts had also comprehended the Divine Intent of Rain after being immersed in the icy rain day and night.
When Ning Fan entered the fifth level, each of the demonic beasts immediately revealed their bloodthirsty eyes, but when they were glared at by the girl, they obediently withdrew their killing intent.
They didn't dare to have any ideas on Ning Fan anymore, but in their hearts, they despised Ning Fan. Demonic beasts above the Gold Core realm could transform into human form. These demonic beasts didn't transform into human form, but they possessed intelligence that wasn't inferior to humans.
"This kid is only at the Harmonious Spirit realm, but he wants to comprehend the Void Spirit Intent. Ridiculous …" A giant elephant beast said coldly in the demonic language.
"However, he is being protected by 'that person' … it's best that we don't interfere in his matters …" Another rhinoceros demonic beast said with fear.
These demonic beasts were definitely peerless ferocious beasts in the Rain Immortal World, but all of them were afraid of the girl.
Just like what these demonic beasts said, Ning Fan didn't have an easy time comprehending the Divine Intent of Rain in the fifth level.
For the first time, he couldn't hear Que Shenzi's comprehension in the rain.
The fifth level seemed to be a watershed. The Divine Intent of Rain began to change qualitatively in this level. Compared to the comprehension in the fifth level, the comprehension in the first four levels was insignificant.
"What am I missing …"
Ning Fan knitted his brows. However, the little girl spoke in an urging tone.
"Cookie Brother, are you done yet … you said that you will make pill cookies for me to eat, I'm hungry …"
"Alright, alright, I got it …" Ning Fan opened his eyes helplessly. He was already unable to comprehend the Divine Intent of Rain, but his mind became even more restless after being disturbed by the girl.
He took out Xue Qing's pill cauldron and waved his sword to draw out the earth fire, but he helplessly found that the Divine Intent of Rain in the fifth level was too strong to draw out the earth fire.
It wasn't that there was no earth fire, but all the earth fire had been assimilated by the Divine Intent of Rain into rainwater and seeped into the ground.
"Haha, this junior is quite interesting … the Divine Intent of Rain is too strong. Without earth fire, how can he concoct pills …" A white ape sneered in the demonic language.
"How … how could this be … there's no fire here, how can I bake the cookies …" The girl looked anxious and worried, but at this moment, she heard the sneer of the white ape.
She glared at the snickering white ape, raised her finger and ordered. "You, come here and conjure out the earth fire for me, or else I will ask Grandpa to catch you and roast you!"
The white ape was initially gloating, but when he heard the girl's order, his monkey face turned as bitter as a melon, as if he had lost his parents.
Immediately, he turned into a ray of light and rushed to the front of the girl, trying to please her.
With a magical art that carried the Divine Intent of Rain, he slapped on the pit of earth fire and dispersed the Divine Intent of Rain.
As for the earth fire that had been assimilated into rainwater, it burned again as soon as the Divine Intent of Rain dispersed.
"Hehe, I have the earth fire … alright, Baby Ape, you can go and play now …"
"Yes, yes …"
The dignified Spirit Severing Devil Ape didn't show any dissatisfaction when the girl called him Baby Ape. Instead, he revealed a look of joy.
In the Dark Sparrow's Grave, as long as he became the baby of the girl, he wouldn't have to worry about being eaten by her in the future.
Each of the demonic beasts looked at the white ape with envy. After all, it wasn't every day that they had the chance to please the girl.
However, Ning Fan didn't put any of them in his eyes. The demonic Qi of any demonic beast beside him was enough to suffocate him, but at this moment, he couldn't see any of them.
In his eyes, there was only the pit of fire and the faintly lit earth fire.
The white ape's palm strike just now gradually brightened his eyes.
It turned out that the Void Spirit Intent was assimilation … Merely comprehending it wasn't enough. He had to activate the Divine Intent to assimilate magical arts, earth fire and all the enemies that entered the domain of the Divine Intent.
A trace of enlightenment gradually rose in his mind. He didn't immediately help the girl concoct the pill, but performed a hand seal and cast the Ice Rain Technique over and over again.
After ten times, the rain still turned into ice.
After a hundred times, there were only one or two drops of ice that hadn't solidified.
After a thousand times, half of the ice was still in the form of rain.
After a thousand times, Ning Fan closed his eyes. Finally, he could hear Que Shenzi's sigh. That sigh was assimilated by the Divine Intent of Rain and turned into raindrops. Previously, he couldn't distinguish the raindrops, but now, he could tell which drops of raindrops were the enlightenment with a single glance!
"What is rain? I can create clouds with a flip of my hand and rain with a flip of my hand! "
Que Shenzi's words were just a sentence, but it was enough to enlighten him and awaken the last shred of doubt in his heart.
At this moment, he opened his eyes. His gaze wasn't as easy-going as usual. It became arrogant and domineering.
He cast the Ice Rain Technique. Suddenly, thousands of icicles appeared in the sky. Half of them were ice and the other half were rain.
A trace of Divine Intent was activated in Ning Fan's mind. In the air, the few drops of Divine Intent of Rain left by Que Shenzi were grasped in his palm and crushed. He shouted coldly, "I turn my hand and rain comes!"
He turned his palm fiercely and all the icicles turned into raindrops at the same time. This Ice Rain Technique could only turn the icicles into raindrops. It couldn't be considered as a Divine Intent Magical Art. Even so, its power had increased by at least 30%.
In Ning Fan's mind, a trace of the Divine Intent of Rain was like a rolling snowball, growing stronger and stronger.
This scene made all the Spirit Severing demonic beasts dumbfounded. Which demonic beast didn't spend a long time to comprehend a trace of Divine Intent? Besides the white ape and a few other demonic beasts, most of them hadn't understood the usage of the Void God Intent.
However, Ning Fan was just a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator, yet he managed to comprehend the Divine Intent before most of the Spirit Severing demonic beasts. Once he did, none of the demonic beasts present would be a match for him!
"Biscuit Brother, do you want to go to the sixth level first?" The little girl asked while biting her lips.
She really wanted to fill her stomach immediately, but she could see that Ning Fan seemed to have made a lot of progress in his comprehension. She was afraid that her gluttony would interrupt Ning Fan's state of mind.
"No need. I'll concoct pills for you. It doesn't matter whether I go to the next few levels or not."
The expression in Ning Fan's eyes faded away. He smiled faintly and began to concoct pills.
After comprehending the fifth level, he had a preliminary understanding of the usage of the Divine Intent of Rain. However, this Divine Intent was far from what he could control with his current magical power.
With his current magical power, it was impossible for him to completely turn the Ice Rain Technique into icy rain. Those Divine Intents were the magical techniques left behind by Que Shenzi.
By relying on this technique, he finally comprehended the profoundness of the Divine Intent of Rain.
In his point of view, the sixth, seventh, eighth and even the ninth level was probably the process of Que Shenzi condensing the Divine Intent and fusing it with his own Dao comprehension. Ning Fan hadn't formed his own Dao, nor did he have enough magical power to completely fuse the Divine Intent that belonged to him.
Even so, with the little bit of Divine Intent that he had comprehended, he should be able to concoct a Fifth Rank Pill!
He didn't concoct a Fifth Rank Pill immediately. With his current concoction technique, even if he succeeded in one try, it would take him at least half a year to concoct a Fifth Rank Pill.
However, he still had a way to test if his concoction technique had improved.
In his mind, he recalled the concoction technique of the Nine Revolutions of River Wheel in the Ancient Chaotic Land. His fingers were covered in black flames, drawing circles along a mysterious trajectory in the void in front of him.
One revolution, two revolutions, three revolutions, four revolutions … he drew four circles in a row. After that, his fingers couldn't move anymore. A trace of barrier force made it hard for Ning Fans fingers to move.
"Four circles represent the Fourth Revolution Pill Concoction Technique. If I can draw the fifth circle, I will be able to concoct a Fifth Revolution Pill!"
His eyes revealed an indifferent expression. A faint trace of the Divine Intent of Rain emerged in his eyes. This Divine Intent passed through his heart to his fingers and fused with the black flames, causing a layer of Rain Intent to surface on the blazing black flames.
At this moment, his finger, which was originally frozen, was filled with spiritual power. Immediately, he drew out a fifth illusionary circle in the air.
The fifth circle wasn't drawn perfectly. As soon as it was drawn, it immediately exploded. This indicated that his concoction technique had reached the Fifth Revolution and that it would be extremely difficult for him to concoct a Fifth Revolution Pill. Nine out of ten pills would be destroyed. He had to thank the Heavens for his one and only success.
However, no matter what, from the moment he drew the fifth illusory circle, Ning Fan was already a Fifth Revolution Pill Concoction Master!
His harvest in this trip to the Dark Sparrow's Grave couldn't be considered small!
With the improvement in his concoction technique, he could concoct Third Revolution Pills with greater ease. Before the pill was completed, the little girl couldn't hold back her excitement. Her mouth was watering because of the fragrance of the pill.
"It smells so good. It's even more fragrant than before. Why is it like this?!"
"Because I'm now a Fifth Revolution Cookie Concoction Master …" Ning Fan patted the lid of the cauldron. The pill was done!
"Ah! Cookie Brother, you're so awesome! If Grandpa knows that you're so awesome, he will surely like you. "
The little girl took the pill and put it into her mouth, disregarding the scorching heat of the pill.
As soon as Ning Fan heard the name 'Grandpa', his heart shuddered.
That Grandpa was naturally a Void Fragmentation expert. He wondered if he was being monitored by that Void Fragmentation expert when he comprehended the Divine Intent.
After refining the Black Demon Flame and improving his concoction technique, he had gained a lot from this trip. It would be best if he could obtain the Profound Yin Qi along the way.
The Profound Yin Qi was ranked ninth among the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi. Many experts of Rain Immortal World had come to the Dark Sparrow's Grave, but none of them could find this cold Qi.
The Cold Qi didn't have a spirit. It wouldn't hide on its own. If Ning Fan didn't understand why no one could find the Cold Qi before, he could guess the reason now.
Perhaps the little girl in front of him treated it as a Cold Qi Treasure and hid it …
"Little girl, I wonder where the Profound Yin Qi is …"
"I know … En, no, I don't know … what do you want to do to my Profound Treasure …"
The little girl put down the pill and took two steps back. She looked at Ning Fan with a worried expression.
Looking at the pill in her hand, her eyes flashed with a trace of awkwardness.
"You're good to me, better than Mysterious Baby. It ignored me and didn't make pill cakes for me to eat … If, if you can make more delicious cakes for me, a thousand times, ten thousand times better than this cake, I'll tell you where Mysterious Baby is hiding …"
"If that's the case … in the future, when I concoct a Fifth Revolution Pill, I will exchange the Profound Yin Qi with you."
Ning Fan pondered for a moment. He was afraid that only a Fifth Revolution Pill could meet the requirement of a thousand times, ten thousand times better than a Third Revolution Pill. It wouldn't be appropriate to rob the little girl by force. There was a Void Fragmentation expert spying on them in the dark.
At this moment, Ning Fan wasn't in a hurry to use the Profound Yin Qi. It wouldn't be lost in Sinister Sparrow Sect. In the future, he would concoct a Fifth Revolution Pill and give it to the little girl.
Compared to the Profound Yin Qi, Ning Fan was more interested in another thing.
"Which level does the Ming Luo Fruit grow on?"
"What Ming Luo Fruit?" The little girl tilted her head in confusion.
"It's the leftover seeds of the fruit …"
"That Guoguo grows on the ninth level. It's in grandpa's hand … Cookie Brother, even if you want to eat it, you can't … grandpa said that even I can only eat one fruit in ten years …"
"Is that so … forget it …" Ning Fan shook his head. If the Ming Luo Fruit was in the hands of a Void Fragmentation old expert, Ning Fan knew that he wouldn't be able to cheat a Ming Luo Fruit from them no matter what.
A Ming Luo Fruit could increase one's mental state by fifty years in a single dream … it seemed like such a good thing was going to be missed …
But just as he was shaking his head, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"A Fifth Revolution Pill Master … in this case, you are qualified to talk to me … you want the Ming Luo Fruit? Fine, but you have to promise me a condition …"
The voice appeared without any sign. Although it sounded calm, there was a hidden murderous intent in it. It didn't give Ning Fan any room to refuse the condition.
Ning Fan could only agree to the condition, otherwise, he would die!
As soon as the words came out, the usually lawless little girl immediately revealed a fearful expression. She put her hands behind her back and hid all the pills.
