In the sky above Quail Head Palace, countless Valley Demons were rushing towards She Ji Mountain.
These Valley Demons had different cultivation bases but their speed was almost the same. Even though there were tens of thousands of them travelling together, they did not give off a messy feeling. Instead, they were inexplicably neat.
If there were experts in battle formations here, they would be able to see that these Valley Demons were moving according to the ancient battle formation.
Tens of thousands of people were moving in a formation. Everywhere they passed, the power of heaven and earth gathered in the formation and turned into the rumbling sound of war drums. From afar, the battle formation looked like a bird. However, this bird had five wings.
The Five Valleys Sovereign Emperors each stood in a wing of the formation, holding a formation flag or waving a sword to guide the battle formation forward.
"Slow! Too slow! How long has it been? We still haven't reached She Ji Mountain! "
"I'm afraid Senior Ning has already started fighting with those locusts. We are still flying slowly behind him. Can't we fly faster?!"
"There's no other way. We've already reached the maximum speed! The advantage of our five-winged formation lies in its lethality, not in its speed. If it's the White Horse Formation, we might be able to catch up to Senior Ning but it's not enough to fight those locusts … "
"I hope we won't be too late … Although Senior Ning is a Quasi-Saint, there are hundreds of billions of locusts. There are even mature locusts comparable to Immortal Emperors. Even a Quasi-Saint would find it hard to deal with the encirclement of so many Immortal Emperors … "
"Senior knows that this battle is dangerous but he still wants to stand up for us and fight against the locusts. We only had a meal together but he did so much for us …"
"How benevolent!"
"How shameful!"
"We can owe karma to others but we can never owe karma to a Quasi-Saint!"
"We can't miss out on this battle!"
"Fight, fight, fight!"
The Five Valleys Sovereign Emperors were in high spirits!
Everyone in the Valley Demon Army was filled with battle intent!
Then …
The high-spirited Valley Demon Army chased all the way and finally arrived at She Ji Mountain.
Along the way, they did not encounter any locusts.
There was not a single locusts on the mountain.
If it weren't for the fact that Kismet Mountain had been destroyed by the locust demons, if it weren't for the fiendish aura and foul air that still lingered here, the Five Valleys Sovereign Emperor would really have suspected that the locust demon army had never been here before.
"Senior, may I ask if the battle here has already ended?" When the Sovereign Lords of the five valleys saw Ning Fan, they hurriedly went forward and asked with a trembling voice.
How could his voice not tremble!
That was an army of more than three hundred billion locusts. Even if Ning Fan was a Quasi-Sage Realm expert, it was impossible for him to deal with them all by himself. It shouldn't be possible, right …?
"…" Ning Fan shut both of his eyes tightly. He did not answer the Sovereign Lord of the Five Valleys' question nor did he show any reaction.
He seemed to be busy with something important and couldn't be distracted.
The Five Valleys Sovereign Emperor was slightly surprised.
Then, he noticed that Ning Fan was in an extremely abnormal state!
At this moment, Ning Fan was holding a strange black ball in his hand and pressing it against his glabella.
They could not tell what that small ball was. Thus, the Five Valleys Sovereign Emperors tacitly sent out their Divine Senses to investigate. After that … the Five Valleys Sovereign Emperors spat out blood at the same time. The Divine Senses they sent into the black ball were instantly crushed into nothingness, and they suffered a backlash.
What kind of black ball is this! How could it be so terrifying?! Even with their status as immortal emperors, they did not even have the right to take a look at it!
Then, they looked at Ning Fan.
At this moment, Ning Fan's qi was extremely abnormal. As time went by, it kept weakening. Eventually, his qi stopped and he was like a tortoise breathing.
His body temperature also seemed to be getting colder.
His body also started to harden bit by bit, and in the end, he actually turned into a stone statue.
It was as if he had turned into a rock.
It also seemed like he was going to sleep here forever.
In short, Ning Fan's body no longer had the slightest bit of qi of survival.
It was like … he had fallen!
Seeing this scene, the Five Valleys Sovereign Emperors' faces turned pale. "No way! It can't be! Senior is a dignified Quasi-Sage Realm expert. It's impossible for him to fall here! "
"It's all our fault! It's all our fault for coming too late! Senior must have exhausted all his strength fighting against the army of locusts. That's why he ended up like this! "
"Senior died for our Demon Valley Clan. Our clan will forever remember senior's kindness!"
"Where are the musicians?! Quickly play the music! "
"Senior's death in battle is truly heroic! We have received senior's kindness. It's only right for us to send senior off! "
Then …
The musicians of the Demon Valley Clan really began to play the music in front of the stone statue that Ning Fan had turned into.
Some of them were playing trumpets and some were playing suona. The music sounded sad and melancholy as if they were playing a mournful music. Well, they were playing it as if it was a mournful music.
"Light the incense and candles!"
"Offer the offerings!"
"Scatter the ghost money!"
"Raise the Soul Summoning Flag!"
"One, two, three, kneel! One, two, three, kowtow! One, two, cry! "
Under the command of the Five Valleys Sovereign Emperors, countless Demon Valley Clans knelt down in an orderly manner and kowtowed to Ning Fan to send him off. At the same time, the sound of crying gradually resounded.
They were about to cry for their souls.
In the beginning, the Demon Valley Clans cried in a standard manner without much emotion.
However, gradually, some of them were affected by their emotions. The more they cried, the more they cried. The more they cried, the sadder they felt. In the end, all of them cried as if the person who died was not Ning Fan whom they had just met but their own parents.
Their cries were extremely sorrowful. Even the Sovereign Emperors of the Five Valleys were affected by their emotions. Their eyes turned red.
"Senior, have a safe journey."
"Don't worry about us."
"We will carry Senior's faith and try our best to live on!"
"I will definitely become someone who is useful to the cultivation world!"
"I will never let Senior down!"
While the Demon Valley Clans were immersed in grief, a person suddenly walked to the Sovereign Emperors of the Five Valleys.
She was the female war chariot general who had been ignored by the Sovereign Emperors of the Five Valleys. Her full name was Xin Yi Nu.
"Why are you all crying?" Xin Yi Nu asked expressionlessly.
"Oh? It's Fairy Xin Yi. Fairy, you may not know this, but this senior who died here came to fight the locust demons for the sake of us Valley Demons. Since Senior died for us, we should send him off! "The Sovereign Emperors of the Five Valleys answered while sobbing.
"Died? This senior didn't die, right? He was just making the treasure recognize him as its master. Senior also reminded me to remind you not to disturb him if you come late. "Xin Yi Nu explained slowly.
"Recognize him as its master? Treasure? "The Sovereign Emperors of the Five Valleys were stunned.
Almost at the same time, the stone statue of Ning Fan that seemed to have died suddenly changed.
* Crack *
The stone statue cracked and countless rays of golden light shot out from the cracks. It was so sacred that one could not look at it directly!
Ning Fan's entire body was bathed in the golden divine light. He walked out from the broken stone statue like a golden god.
The divine light became brighter and brighter. The divine power in Ning Fan's body also rose at the same time!
[Master, please call me by my true name! This is the last step to recognize me as its master!] The small ball of divine pills begged. However, Ning Fan was the only one who could hear it.
"Nine Defiance and Ninety Nine Withers, Divine Mud Ball." Ning Fan's words were drowned in the divine light. No one could hear it except for the divine ball.
Almost at the same time Ning Fan called out his true name, the endless divine light around his body suddenly turned into tens of thousands of golden divine marks which were engraved into the body of the divine ball.
Gradually, the divine light subsided. The golden divine marks that were engraved into the body of the divine ball also lost their light. It turned back into a small black ball.
At this point, the recognition was successful!
Ning Fan could clearly feel that the divine ball seemed to have become a part of his body after it recognized him as its master. That feeling was indescribably mysterious.
"Senior really didn't die! Ugh … "The Sovereign Emperors of the Five Valleys blushed. Since Senior was not dead, wouldn't their crying just be a farce?
"Hmm? This is … "As soon as Ning Fan woke up, he was stunned when he saw the huge formation of crying spirits in front of him.
However, he did not ask too many questions. He had a feeling that the truth of the matter would make him speechless. It was better not to care about it.
[I didn't expect Master to be the dignified Divine Father of Wood! The divine ball is just an insignificant being of the lowest grade. I can't believe that it has such a distinguished master! I'm really touched!] After recognizing Ning Fan as its master, the divine ball could clearly sense Ning Fan's divine spirit level.
[It's my honor to die for the dignified Divine Father!]
[Master, please don't take pity on me!]
[Master, please use me as much as you can!]
"Mm. I will make good use of you. I am very curious about your abilities. Let's use this matter of refining the Ghost Soldiers to test your ability. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fan handed the divine ball a ball of blood light.
That blood light was formed after Ning Fan killed three hundred billion demon locust locusts. They could be used as sacrifices to refine ghost soldiers.
After that, Ning Fan handed the demon soul of the demon locust old ancestor to the divine ball. It was the main material to refine ghost soldiers.
[Master, can you leave the four great divine weapons here? With the power of the divine weapons, the divine ball's power can be exerted to its fullest.] The divine ball requested.
"The four great divine weapons?" Ning Fan was stunned.
The four great divine weapons referred to the four divine weapons – the Divine Refining Cauldron, Incinerator, Millstone of Spirit Sense and Qi and Blood Gourd.
It was not a big deal to lend the divine weapons to the divine ball. However, the problem was that Ning Fan did not have all four divine weapons. He only obtained two of them by chance.
After understanding the situation, the divine ball was a little surprised.
From her point of view, Ning Fan was a dignified Divine Father. However, he did not even have all four divine weapons. It was really strange.
[Could it be that Master defeated the other wood gods without relying on the power of the divine weapons and obtained the position of Divine Father of Wood? Isn't this a little too strong?!]
The divine ball seemed to have misunderstood something. When she looked at Ning Fan again, the admiration in her eyes became even stronger.
Even though Ning Fan did not manage to gather all four divine weapons, he still lent the only two divine weapons he had to the divine ball.
"By the way, there are still some materials that can be used to refine ghost soldiers sealed in my Divine Refining Cauldron. You can refine them into ghost soldiers as well …" As he spoke, Ning Fan summoned the Virtue Umbrella and sealed the materials that were sealed in the umbrella into the Divine Refining Cauldron. Then, he handed them to the divine ball for her to use.
"Yes, Master!"
After handing the matter to the divine ball, Ning Fan walked towards the depths of the Kismet Mountain alone. He was going to look for the Immemorial Sacrificial Flesh in the mountain.
Obviously, to Ning Fan at this moment, eating was more important. As for the ability to observe the divine ball, it was secondary.
With the power of the divine weapon, the black ball of the divine ball that was originally black and swarthy instantly became extraordinary. Its body emitted traces of golden light.
She began to refine ghost soldiers seriously.
After she had acknowledged Ning Fan as her master, there was a mysterious connection between her and Ning Fan. She could actually summon the Ghost Flower of the Netherworld. Thus, countless thorns and thorns grew on the Kismet Mountain in an instant.
Ghost qi filled the air and ghostly sounds could be heard. Ghost flowers bloomed among the thorns and thorns.
One after another, the undying ghost soldiers walked out from the thorns and stood guard around the divine ball. Their powerful qi frightened the demons of the valley so much that they did not dare to approach them.
No one dared to disturb them.
"What exactly is this black ball?! It's really powerful! It can actually summon immortal emperors and quasi-saints out of thin air! "
Undying Corpse Slave King, Undying Soul Absorbing Tree, Undying Black Qilin, Undying Myriad Saint Dragon King …
Any of the undying ghost soldiers had the strength to crush the Sovereign Emperors of the five valleys.
At this moment, the Sovereign Emperors of the five valleys finally realized how shallow their understanding of Ning Fan was.
How terrifying Ning Fan's cultivation base must be to make such a terrifying black ball willingly acknowledge him as its master. It would not be a problem for him to eliminate three hundred billion locusts at all.
"Hiss! Look at what this black ball is holding. It's actually the demon soul of a locust demon that is comparable to a quasi-saint! What is this senior planning to do?! Could it be that he wants to refine the demon soul of a quasi-saint?! "
"Could it be that other than immortal emperors, there are also quasi-saints among the locusts …?"
"This demon soul was given to the black ball by Senior Ning. In other words, even a quasi-saint locust demon was killed by Senior Ning …"
"It seems like Senior Ning was also the one who calmed the rampage of the Fire Fish Immortal …"
"Senior Ning is definitely not an ordinary quasi-saint. Could he be a great cultivator from the ancient times?!"
"That must be it!"
"This is really scary!"
…
After the divine pill recognized its master, it had completely inherited all of Ning Fan's miscellaneous techniques, including the method to refine a ghost soldier.
If Ning Fan were to refine a ghost soldier, his refining state would more or less have some fluctuations.
Perhaps he would be affected by external factors and only be able to display 50% to 60% of his refining standard. Also, he might be able to display 200% of his refining standard due to his extraordinary performance.
All of these were possible.
However, the divine pill would not have such strong fluctuations.
She was not a living being. Instead, she was the manifestation of the divine ability of an ancient divine being. Her existence was more like a meticulously designed machine.
No matter what kind of influences existed in her surroundings, she would always be in one hundred percent of her refining state. She would not be affected by anything and there was no such thing as extraordinary performance.
The first one to be refined into a ghost soldier was the old ancestor of the demon locust demon.
Originally, the old ancestor was already unconscious after Ning Fan had set up layers of restrictions on him. Now, however, he woke up after suffering a great deal of pain due to the refinement of the ghost soldier.
However, he was only awake. The restrictions were still binding him. He could not move at all and his heart was already filled with fear!
"Stop! Stop! Lord Divine Pill, what are you trying to do?! Are you planning to kill me?! You can't do this! My Ancient Locust Clan has been serving you for generations. We have been plundering blood and flesh for you to consume. Why do you want to help an outsider kill me?! "
The divine pill did not answer.
Or maybe it did answer. However, the old ancestor was not qualified to hear the divine pill's voice.
Seeing that the divine pill ignored him, the old ancestor became even more furious and roared.
"I respect you and address you as my lord. Do you really think you are nobler than us Ancient Locust Clan?! You are just a divine pill. Moreover, you are an ownerless item of the lowest grade! I am after all a Quasi-Saint Realm expert. Even if you kill me, you can't kill me! "
The divine pill still did not answer him.
He just secretly activated the power of the Divine Smelting Cauldron and used its power to slowly refine the old ancestor's demon soul into the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood.
"It's fake! It's fake! This is a divine tool! A real divine tool! A divine tool must have a divine master in order to operate it. Could it be … This is impossible?! "
The old ancestor was in despair.
At this moment, Ning Fan's figure appeared in his mind. That figure gradually overlapped with the countless ancient divine beings in his bloodline memory. At that moment, he understood the reason why the divine pill turned against him.
At this moment, the old ancestor recalled the admonition that was passed down from generation to generation by his ancestors.
"When the ancient country was destroyed, we Ancient Locust Clan betrayed the ancient divine beings and caused the deaths of countless divine beings. One day, the descendants of the divine beings will come to take this karma … If you encounter the descendants of the divine beings, run away quickly! If you can't, hand over the divine pill that you stole and apologize to the divine beings. Perhaps, you can preserve the bloodline of your clan. Remember, in front of the true divine beings, we Ancient Locust Clan are not worth mentioning … "
Damn it! Damn it!
If I knew that person is the descendant of the divine beings … If I knew …
The old ancestor's consciousness gradually blurred.
Before he died, he seemed to have heard the cold laughter of countless ancient divine beings coming from the boundless netherworld.
…
For some unknown reason, the speed of refining the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood was terrifyingly fast when the divine pill activated the Divine Smelting Cauldron.
The divine pill seemed to be able to perfectly unleash the power of the Divine Smelting Cauldron. Even the demon soul of a Quasi-Saint Realm expert could not last too long under the power of the Divine Smelting Cauldron.
Different from how Ning Fan controlled the Divine Smelting Cauldron, the divine pill did not use the cauldron as a magic treasure. Instead, he used it as a cooking tool for cooking.
After all, to the ancient divine beings, a cauldron was originally used for cooking.
The baleful qi of the fallen Quasi-Saint Realm expert dyed the clouds in the sky red and the grass and trees in the mountains red.
All the valley demons were shocked by this scene. As the culprit, the divine pill herself did not show any emotion.
Her existence was just like Ning Fan's sword. The karma of the people killed by the sword and the blade would not be on her but the owner of the sword and the blade.
Thus, Ning Fan who was searching for the Immemorial Sacrificial Meat in the mountains suddenly felt that his baleful qi had become much stronger. However, he was not bothered by it and continued to search for food.
In the end, the refinement of the first ghost pawn was barely successful.
Ning Fan could vaguely sense that there was one more undying ghost pawn under his command.
The undying ancient locust had the cultivation base of a First Level Quasi-Saint.
…
The divine pill heaved a sigh of relief.
She had just acknowledged him as her master and she was eager to make a contribution. As a matter of fact, the success rate of the refinement of an undying ghost pawn was not high. She was considered lucky to have succeeded on her first attempt.
"It should be master's strong luck that affected me. It's really good to have a master with a strong luck …" The divine pill said happily.
At this moment, she was a happy divine pill.
The reason why she was happy was partly because her work was going smoothly. On the other hand, she was also happy because she got her revenge. She couldn't remember why she felt this kind of pleasure.
The divine pill who was without a master could not retain too much of her memory. Therefore, she could not remember clearly that these locust demons had betrayed the divine spirit race countless years ago and caused the death of countless divine beings.
Therefore, the happiness she felt now could only be attributed to her instinct.
"Master also gave me some other materials. I'll use them to refine the second ghost pawn. According to the difficulty of refining an Undying Ghost Pawn, being able to refine one is already enough for me to be praised. However, if I can refine more, Master will definitely be more satisfied with me. "
Thus, the divine pill took out another material. This time, it was the vital soul of the Extreme Ice Exalted Immortal.
[Extreme Ice Exalted Immortal, male, date of birth unknown. He was once a general of the Ancient Heavenly Court, but he later defected. After the Heaven and Earth Sect split, the White Demon Sect was established. He wholeheartedly wanted to annex the Black Demon Sect and was defeated by Master in the battle of the Lost World Palace. He was then captured …] Shen Wan seemed to be very proficient in soul-searching and memory-erasing techniques. As soon as he came into contact with Extreme Ice Exalted Immortal, he had a good understanding of his life.
"It hurts, it hurts!" Extreme Ice Exalted Immortal, who had been sealed by a restriction, was in a comatose state. However, he was woken up by the divine pill's brutal soul-searching.
When he woke up and saw that he was being refined, he was even more furious. "What are you doing to me! Do you know who I am? Wuwuwu … "
Extreme Ice Exalted Immortal wanted to say something, but his mouth was sealed by a divine technique from the Divine Pill.
[Hmph! I have no obligation to listen to the clamor of a cooking ingredient!]
She subconsciously thought of Extreme Ice Exalted Immortal as a cooking ingredient that her master had hunted down. At this moment, all she could think of was how to cook this cooking ingredient perfectly.
Oh, wait.
She almost forgot that she was going to refine a ghost pawn for her master. She almost stewed this piece of meat.
Let's get to work! Ghost pawn!
…
After a long time, the second ghost pawn was successfully refined!
The number of Indestructible Ghost Pawns guarding the surroundings increased from the initial four to six!
The sixth ghost pawn was the Indestructible Extreme Ice. It was a first-level Demi-Sage.
"Wow, I actually succeeded again! Master will be very happy when he finds out! "Shen Wan was even happier now.
She happily took out the third material — the primordial spirit of the Earth Palace Celestial Lord.
[Earth Palace Celestial Lord, Ancient Thearch Cultivation Level. Its strength is comparable to a Doomsday Demi-Sage … This material doesn't seem to be as powerful as the previous one.] Shen Wan glanced at the primordial spirit of the Earth Palace Celestial Lord in disdain. Don't ask where the eyes are. Only Shen Wan would know that.
Then, Shen Wan started to refine the third ghost pawn.
Unfortunately, the refinement this time failed.
"Wah! I've failed to live up to master's expectations. I'm really an invincible idiot! "
Shen Wan cried sadly.
Her pitch-black, ink-like tears fell drop by drop. Every drop of her tears created a huge pit in the ground. Everything was blasted into nothingness by her tears.
If she continued to cry, the entire Kismet Mountain would probably be reduced to nothingness by Shen Wan's tears. Fortunately, she did not cry for too long.
She wasn't a fragile divine pill. A mere failure wouldn't knock her down!
"I need to become stronger. I need to become stronger so that I can increase the success rate of refining ghost pawns! The ninth divine technique, Gather All Things! "
Shen Wan stretched out her small hand — don't ask where his hand is — and grabbed at the sky. In an instant, countless spiritual qi gathered and was sucked into Shen Wan's small mouth.
Something terrible happened!
Shen Wan's stomach was like a bottomless pit, absorbing the spiritual qi crazily. In just a short while, one-third of the spiritual qi in Quail Head Palace had been absorbed by Shen Wan!
The Sovereign Lords of the Five Valleys and the others were frightened by Shen Wan's behavior!
It was normal to breathe in and out the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. However, they had never seen such a terrifying breathing technique before. In just a short while, Shen Wan had already absorbed one-third of the spiritual qi in this place. If she breathes in a few more times, she would probably absorb all the spiritual qi in Quail Head Palace, turning this place into a wasteland for cultivation.
What a terrifying black ball!
After absorbing a large amount of spiritual qi of heaven and earth, Shen Wan's entire body became a hundred times more spirited. What made her even happier was that she had unintentionally awakened a type of divine technique.
The ninth divine technique, Gather All Things!
The Divine Spirit Clan had a total of nine great divine abilities. They were called the Nine Divine Spirit Techniques. The divine technique that she awakened was ranked ninth. Even though it was the weakest divine technique, it was enough to make her happy. One should know that wild Shen Wan was not qualified to awaken a divine technique. Even if it was a divine pill that had recognized its master, only a few of them would have the chance to do so.
She was just a divine pill of the lowest grade but she could actually awaken a divine technique. She was so happy!
"It must be because my master is the dignified Father God. That's why he could do this …" Shen Wan counted her luck on Ning Fan and it was indeed true. The godhead of Father Wood was extremely powerful. If it wasn't because the grade of the divine pill in front of her was too low, it might have given her an even more powerful divine technique.
Shen Wan hummed a little tune happily and began to refine the next ghost soldier.
After absorbing a large amount of spiritual qi of heaven and earth, the success rate of the ghost soldier had indeed increased significantly. Even though there were some twists and turns in the refinement this time, she still succeeded in the end.
Daoist Chang Sang had also become an undying ghost soldier.
Ning Fan's undying ghost soldiers had increased to seven.
"Which one should I refine next? It's him then. "
Shen Wan chose the Quasi-Sage Bi Li Immortal Stone.
At first, she thought that the refinement process would be successful again. However, something strange happened.
After the immortal stone was refined and killed by the Divine Refining Cauldron, its soul was not absorbed by the Ghost Flower of the Netherworld. Instead, it disappeared somewhere unknown.
In that case, she naturally could not refine it into a ghost soldier. Thus, the refinement process failed in the end.
"I failed again. Damn it! Damn it! I'm really a super invincible idiot!"
Shen Wan was a little dejected.
However, she did not know that using the Puppet Immortal Stone to refine an undying ghost soldier would definitely fail.
Ning Fan had also used the immortal stone to refine a ghost soldier in the past. However, he failed due to unknown reasons. The immortal stone seemed to have quite a big secret on it …
"I hope the next one will succeed …" Shen Wan was a little unconfident.
There were still three materials left to refine a ghost soldier.
The first material was a Second Level Quasi-Sage Great Immortal Shen Zu. He was a Fellow Daoist that True Lord North Sea invited to besiege Ning Fan. Unfortunately, he was captured by Ning Fan.
The second material was a Deer Antler Immortal with twelve thousand tribulations magic power. He was captured by Ning Fan's Virtue Umbrella in the Ten Extremes Reverse Formation.
The third material was an Immortal Lingzhi who was also at the Quasi-Sage Realm.
"The medicinal power of this antler is really strong! This Lingzhi is also not bad … In order to refine a ghost soldier, I just need to destroy its soul. I'll leave the medicinal bodies of these two people for Master to enjoy … "
"On the other hand, this Great Immortal Shen Zu's cultivation base is too high. It doesn't seem easy to refine him …"
"Shen Wan will work harder! Mm! "
Time passed slowly.
The eighth ghost soldier, the Indestructible Deer Antler Immortal Lingzhi, was successfully refined.
The ninth ghost soldier, the Indestructible Immortal Lingzhi, was successfully refined.
The most difficult part was Great Immortal Shen Zu. In order to refine the last ghost soldier, Shen Wan circulated her divine technique again and absorbed another one third of the heaven and earth spiritual qi from the palace. In the end, even this Second Level Quasi-Sage was refined into a ghost soldier by Shen Wan.
For the first time, the number of ghost soldiers that Ning Fan refined had reached ten!
"Phew. Even though I failed twice, I still succeeded in refining six of them. Master will probably praise me, right?" Shen Wan was extremely happy when she thought that she was about to receive Ning Fan's praise.
However, her happiness did not last for too long. Suddenly, something strange happened.
When the number of ghost soldiers of the Ghost Flower of the Netherworld reached ten, they suddenly began to fight each other as if they were possessed.
No! They are not fighting each other!
They are devouring each other!
"What's wrong?! What happened?! My method of refining ghost soldiers was clearly correct. Why did such a thing happen?! "Shen Wan was scared out of her wits. She thought that she had made a mistake.
However, the fact was that the fight between the ten ghost soldiers had nothing to do with her.
Whenever a contractor of the Ghost Flower of the Netherworld gathers ten ghost soldiers for the first time, something like this would happen.
The ten ghost soldiers would fight and devour each other. In the end, there would only be one survivor. However, this survivor would devour all the power and abilities of the other ghost soldiers and turn them into his own.
This was the real terror of the Netherworld Ghost Flower!
"What should I do? What should I do? Should I stop these ghost soldiers from killing each other?"
Shen Wan tried to stop the ghost soldiers from killing each other. However, it was all in vain.
The weakest of these ghost soldiers was at the Half-Saint Realm while the strongest one was the Undying Great Immortal Feet who was a Second Level Quasi-Saint. How could Shen Wan stop them all by himself?!
Shen Wan could only watch everything unfold with her eyes wide open. She was so anxious that tears flowed down her cheeks.
In the end, the Second Level Great Immortal Feet devoured the remaining nine ghost soldiers.
He became the only remaining ghost soldier!
He was originally a Second Level Quasi-Saint. After absorbing all the power of the nine ghost soldiers, the aura around his body became terrifyingly strong.
The Five Valleys Sovereign Emperor took a look at him from afar and was very sure that the power of this Undying Great Immortal Feet was comparable to that of the Fire Fire Palace's Fire Fish Immortal!
This was an ancient Grand Cultivator!
"Terrifying! This is too terrifying! What is the origin of that black ball? How could it be refined into an ancient Grand Cultivator! "Feeling the bone-chilling aura of the Undying Great Immortal Feet, the Five Valleys Sovereign Emperor could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
It was as if this person only needed a thought to freeze and crush their Immortal Emperor cultivation!
They could not resist him! They were definitely not a match for him!
After devouring the rest of the ghost soldiers, Shenzu Great Immortal snorted at Shen Wan. It seemed that he was not convinced by Shen Wan. His eyes were full of provocation as if he wanted to challenge Shen Wan to a battle.
In order to control the ghost soldiers, one must have the strength to be recognized by the ghost soldiers. That was why Shenzu Great Immortal had challenged Shen Wan to a battle.
Unfortunately, Shen Wan was already in a daze and did not care about Shenzu Great Immortal's invitation.
Seeing Shen Wan did not dare to fight, Shenzu Great Immortal snorted disdainfully. His body shook and turned into a mass of ghost qi, returning to the thorns of the Netherworld Ghost Flower.
Shen Wan turned a blind eye to this.
She was still in a daze!
No, it was not appropriate to say that she was in a daze. She was scared out of her wits!
"I've caused trouble!"
"I've messed up everything!"
"The ghost soldiers that I refined have eaten all of Master's ghost soldiers. Master originally had four ghost soldiers but now, there's only one left … "
"Master will definitely be disappointed in me …"
"I'm really an invincible idiot!"
"My existence in this world is really a disgrace to the Shen Wan Clan …"
"I'm even more insignificant than the most unpalatable ingredient in the world …"
Shen Wan had a mental breakdown!
…
Ning Fan did not know how Shen Wan broke down.
He could only vaguely sense that the number of ghost soldiers had increased to ten. However, he did not know why it was reduced to only one ghost soldier.
Even though the number of ghost soldiers had changed, it was not a bad thing. The only remaining ghost soldier seemed to have advanced to the level of an ancient great cultivator because of this incident …
"A ghost soldier at the level of an ancient great cultivator, huh? I'm really looking forward to it. Speaking of which, this divine pill is really amazing. It actually succeeded six out of the eight times it was refined. The only two failures were because of the immortal stones. "
Only now did Ning Fan confirm that the divine pill that he had picked up was really a treasure.
With the help of this divine pill, he could ask it to do all the refining tasks that he would need to spend time on in the future.
The refinement of the ghost soldier using the divine pill was considered to be very successful.
However, Ning Fan's search for the Immemorial Sacrificial Meat was not as smooth.
In a certain temple in the depths of the Ji State Mountain, Ning Fan looked at the empty offering table and frowned.
The fragrance of meat lingered in the air. However, the sacrificial meat that was supposed to be stored here was nowhere to be found.
Where did the sacrificial meat go?
Could it be that the Immemorial Sacrificial Meat in this place had also cultivated into a demon and hid somewhere else after seeing me coming here?
While he was pondering, Ning Fan suddenly felt several gazes peeking at him.
He turned his head expressionlessly and looked at the broken statues in the temple. Coincidentally, he saw a strange scene.
At this moment, all the statues that were originally benevolent and kind were giving him a ferocious smile.
"A junior from the Dharma Ending Era actually dares to come to the Zi Wei Immortal Domain's Jiang Shan State Temple to steal. You really have guts!"
"Hehe. This person doesn't seem to be an ordinary junior. I can feel a trace of detestable qi from his body."
"It's the qi of Zi Dou Immortal Cultivator!"
"Zi Dou Immortal Cultivator deserves to be killed!"
"What a pity. This person is just an Immortal King. It's boring to kill him!"
"Weak. Too weak!"
"I only need a single thought to kill him!"
"Don't fight for it! This person is the sacrificial meat that I've taken a fancy to. I should be the first to have a bite! "
Ning Fan frowned impatiently.
If he did not sense it, these statues would have all turned into demons in the long passage of time.
The cultivation bases of these statues were not very high. They were just some Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings. However, perhaps it was because they had absorbed countless joss flames, the qi of each of these statues had a hint of an undying being.
They probably thought that Ning Fan and the others were undying. That's why they spoke so arrogantly.
This was exactly the phrase 'frog at the bottom of a well'.
"I will only ask once. Where is the sacrificial meat hidden?" Ning Fan said coldly.
"Hahahahaha!" The statues burst into laughter at the same time as if they had just heard a joke.
After that, the statues overestimated their own strength and attacked Ning Fan.
After that, Ning Fan slashed out with the Five Yin Yang Swords. From then on, there were no more statues in this temple.
After sensing for a while, Ning Fan slashed out with his sword again. Suddenly, an empty space was torn apart.
It was the storage space created by the statues.
All the sacrificial meat had been stored in this place for an unknown period of time. Perhaps because the space here had been processed by the joss flames, the sacrificial meat did not turn into demons.
There was also a short and fat old man with a white beard who was imprisoned together with the sacrificial meat. He held a walking stick and squatted silently in a corner.
This old man's cultivation base was not high. It was only at the Immortal Venerable Realm. He had been imprisoned in this place for an unknown period of time. His eyes were empty and lifeless as if he had been toyed with.
Seeing Ning Fan's arrival, the old man was stunned at first. Then, he became wild with joy and tears flowed down his cheeks.
"I knew it! I knew that the Mountain and Sea Palace wouldn't give up on this place! "
"May I ask if Exalted Immortal was sent by the Upper World to rescue this place?"
"???" Ning Fan looked at the white-bearded old man in confusion.
When the old man saw that Ning Fan did not answer him, he could not help but be stunned. Could it be that he had guessed wrongly? The person in front of him just entered this place by mistake and he wasn't sent by the Mountain and Sea Palace?
However, at the next moment, the walking stick that the old man was holding sensed something.
It was a bamboo stick made from the Spring Bamboo of the Mountain and Sea Palace. There was something special about the walking stick that was made from this bamboo. The appearance of the bamboo stick would change according to the four seasons of the Mountain and Sea Palace.
In spring, it would be green bamboo. In summer, it would be red bamboo. In autumn, it would be yellow bamboo. In winter, it would be white bamboo.
Before Ning Fan came here, the old man's bamboo stick was black bamboo. It did not have any of the four seasons. The reason why it was black was because the old man's bamboo stick had been away from the Mountain and Sea Palace for too long. It had already exhausted its life force and could no longer sense the four seasons of the Mountain and Sea Palace.
But now?! The bamboo stick which had exhausted its life force gained a great vitality from the Dao Qi that Ning Fan unintentionally released.
Gradually, it turned from black to green bamboo!
This bamboo stick sensed the four seasons of the Mountain and Sea Palace again!
But how was this possible?
It was impossible for the dead Spring Bamboo to come back to life. It was like an immortal's thought dissipating after death.
However, something unimaginable was really happening right now! The old man stared at the bamboo stick in shock. He was speechless for a long time. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. He was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
"So Lord is one of the five divisions of the Mountain and Sea Palace! Greetings, Lord Supervisor! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man knelt on the ground tremblingly and kowtowed to Ning Fan to express his gratitude.
"???" Ning Fan was still confused.
However, he still helped the old man up politely and asked. "May I know Fellow Daoist's name? Why are you here? "
"Lord, I am from the land of the Ji Mountain in this world. As for why I am here, it's a long story. It's all because of those divine statues that have gained sentience …" The old man seemed to have a belly full of bitterness. When he was about to tell Ning Fan about it, Ning Fan waved his hand. "Since it's a long story, let's not talk about it."
He did not have the mood to listen to the bitter history of an unfamiliar old man.
Eating was the most important thing right now!
"Yes." The old man forcefully swallowed his words. He could tell that the 'Lord Supervisor' had come here for another important matter. Thus, he naturally did not dare to say anything else.
When he saw Ning Fan ignore him and walk straight towards the sacrificial meat, the old man slapped his forehead and understood.
"Lord, you really came for these sacrificial meat! You should have done this a long time ago! I've already reported the matter of Venerated Zi Wei overstepping my authority. However, the internal department has been indifferent to this matter. I think they are worried about Venerated Zi Wei's identity. Fortunately, Venerated Zi Wei has already passed away. There shouldn't be any obstacles in dealing with these sacrificial meat anymore. "
Ning Fan ignored the old man because he did not really understand what he was talking about.
Seeing that the sacrificial meat was right in front of him, Ning Fan could only feel countless hungry beasts roaring in his stomach. He could no longer hold it in and stretched out his hand, wanting to take the sacrificial meat.
"Lord, you can't! You can't eat these sacrificial meat! What you are taking is the meat of the Devil Revered Silkworm Bush. If we, the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Division, eat a mouthful of it, our Dao will be damaged for ten thousand years! "The old man panicked and tried to dissuade Ning Fan.
