When Ning Fan first built the city, it was just rows of wooden houses. But now, there were jade buildings and houses. Cultivators came to Ning Fan in an endless stream within a hundred miles radius.
Ning Fan descended from the immortal cloud to witness the great changes in Ning City. He sighed in amazement.
The hundred miles city wall was made of jade and gold. It was nineteen zhang high, enough to defend against a full blow from a Harmonious Spirit cultivator. Above the city wall, there was a Forbidden Space Formation to prevent enemy cultivators from attacking Ning City from above.
Outside Ning City, groups of evil cultivators patrolled. Their Qi wasn't weak, all of them were at least Seventh Level Vein Opening. Some wore black armor embroidered with Seven Apricot Flowers, some wore silver armor embroidered with Seven Swords, and some wore ice armor embroidered with Seven Snow. These three types of evil cultivators belonged to the Apricot Guards, Sword Guards and Ice Guards of the Three Black Demon Armies. Apart from the Three Black Demon Armies, there was another type of evil cultivator patrolling the city.
This type of evil cultivator wore red armor embroidered with a big 'Ning' character! These evil cultivators looked vaguely familiar. Most of them were the Southern House Battle Guards that Ning Fan had subdued before. The rest were evil cultivators that came to seek shelter.
Under the great reputation of Black Devil Ning, evil cultivators came to Ning City in an endless stream. After the expansion of the Southern House Battle Guards, there were six hundred of them. Their strength wasn't any weaker than the Three Black Demon Armies.
The four armies of Ning City had a great reputation in Yue Country. For more than half a year, Nangong had led the Three Black Demon Armies to besiege bandits from all directions. Not only did it hone their combat skills, but it also greatly stabilized Ning City.
This was also the reason why Ning Fan only attracted dozens of bandits after a night of slow travel.
'Heaven's Secret' Nangong and 'Mad Guest' Yuchi. These two were extremely famous in Yue Country.
The latter had advanced by leaps and bounds to late Harmonious Spirit realm through dual cultivation with the pig. His little pig had also reached intermediate Harmonious Spirit realm. One man and one demon could even fight a half-step Gold Core cultivator if they worked together.
As for Nangong, his lightning veins were restored with the help of the pills Ning Fan gave him. He became a Dual Spirit cultivator that cultivated both ice and lightning. His strength was restored to intermediate Gold Core realm. He could even fight a late Gold Core old monster to a draw!
Even the old monsters of the first-rate sects were fearful of him.
The only one whose reputation disappeared was the commander of the Sword Guards, Situ.
After receiving the broken sword from Ning Fan, he left Ning City. He seemed to be travelling around, but his whereabouts were unknown!
"Brother Fan, look, Ning City has changed so much because of your pills …" Zhi He's pure smile was tinged with pride. She was proud of her Brother Fan's extraordinary abilities.
"Pills are one of the reasons. Nangong's wisdom and strategy are the most important. He has also recovered his cultivation base. All that's left is Situ. However, I have a feeling that Situ's return won't be far away. Let's go home … "
Ning City was Ning Fan's home in Yue Country.
The rows of patrolling evil cultivators immediately revealed a vigilant look when they saw Ning Fans group coming, but when they saw Nan Wei and Zhi He, they all let down their guard.
The eyes of all the evil cultivators fell upon Ning Fan and they sucked in a breath of cold air.
Their Young Master had returned!
The Three Divine Armies only knew of Black Devil Ning of Ning City, but he had never appeared before. But their Young Lord Ning Fans was real, and his current reputation was even more resounding than the Old Monster.
Revered Ning of Sinister Sparrow Sect! The man who defeated an intermediate Gold Core cultivator at his young age!
"Welcome back to Ning City, Young Master!"
Each of the evil cultivators clasped their fists and greeted with a loud and clear voice. These greetings made the cultivators who stayed in Ning City reveal a look of surprise.
"What?! Revered Ning is back! That's great! I didn't expect to see Revered Ning instead of Master Black Devil! "
...
As soon as they returned to the city, Ning Fan immediately summoned Nangong and told him about the decisive battle three months later.
Nangong was shocked, but there was also a trace of excitement in his shock. Being able to fight against Extreme Yin Gate and Heavenly Dao Sect, and according to Young Master's plan, the success rate would be very high.
He didn't inform the Three Divine Armies about this for the time being, in order to avoid unnecessary gossip.
After the secret discussion with Nangong, Ning Fan immediately wrapped himself in a black cloak to cover his face and used the False Thought Art to conceal his cultivation base.
With his half-step Nascent Soul spirit sense and the False Thought Art, he immediately disguised himself as an old half-step Nascent Soul old monster.
This scene greatly aroused Zhi He's interest while Si Wuxie's beautiful eyes flashed with confusion …
"Why does he want to annihilate my sect …" She seemed to have remembered something about Heaven Separation Sect, but it wasn't complete!
Then, a sensational news spread across Ning City.
Black Devil Ning, who had been in seclusion for a long time after the hundred sects of Ning City came out!
He was wearing a black cloak and his face couldn't be seen clearly. Despite walking in Ning City, he exuded a horrifying half-step Nascent Soul aura that wasn't any weaker than the old ancestor-level figures of Yue Country!
Some people secretly released their spirit sense to sense the details under Black Devil Ning's cloak, but when they met Black Devil Ning's eyes, their hearts and souls trembled like a rainstorm!
This kind of means was simply unheard of in Yue Country. Just a glance from him could freeze a cultivator's magical power … this Black Devil Ning was indeed as mysterious and powerful as the rumor said!
All those who had their eyes on Ning City secretly withdrew their thoughts.
After that, Black Devil Ning summoned the commanders of the four armies of Ning City … Nangong, Yuchi, Nanyang Zi and Lu Nanzi.
With the help of pills, Lu Nanzi was already a half-step Gold Core cultivator and wasn't far from Core Formation realm! As for Nanyang Zi, he had successfully broken through to intermediate Gold Core realm and became a famous figure in Yue Country …
Their eyes were burning with passion as they stared at Black Devil Ning. They knew that all of this was thanks to the City Lord in front of them!
Previously, when they were captured, they were almost in despair. But after discovering that Black Devil Ning was a Fourth Revolution Pill Master, they found hope amidst their despair. They looked forward to following Black Devil Ning, knowing that they would have a bright future. Then, Black Devil Ning indeed didn't disappoint them. A large amount of pills had greatly improved their cultivation base.
They were now convinced that becoming slaves of Black Devil Ning wasn't a sin to them, but an opportunity!
It was just that they hadn't seen the City Lord for a long time. Now that Black Devil Ning had come out of seclusion, they felt like ants facing the Heavens.
A half-step Nascent Soul cultivation base wasn't enough to give them such a feeling … It was as if Black Devil Ning wasn't a human, but a heaven-defying rain that could overturn the heavens and earth!
Both of them retracted their gaze in shock, lowered their heads and cupped their fists respectfully.
"Greetings, City Lord!"
"En." Black Devil Ning responded with a hoarse voice.
"Recently, Yue Country isn't peaceful. The four armies of Ning City should intensify their cultivation. All affairs will be temporarily suspended. Later on, I will pass down a new formation …"
Black Devil Ning's tone was solemn. None of the experts present dared to breathe loudly. Only Little Zhi He pursed her lips and giggled.
Brother Fan is so methodical. So interesting …
"Sisi, don't you think so?" Zhi He asked in a low voice.
"I don't know …" Si Wuxie's mind was in a mess. More and more memories emerged in her mind, making it hard for her to make a decision.
The conversation in the main hall was a little boring to Zhi He.
'Black Devil Ning' only made some adjustments to the formation and cultivation of the four armies of Ning City.
At the same time, he gave some pointers to the cultivation method of the four armies. Even Nangong had gained great enlightenment under Black Devil Ning's guidance.
After the discussion, Lu Nanzi suddenly revealed a look of hesitation.
Eventually, he gritted his teeth and decided to tell Black Devil Ning about this matter to show his loyalty.
"This subordinate has something to report to the City Lord …"
"Speak."
"It has been half a year since the fire vein of Ning City was unblocked. Currently, there are Fire Maple Fruits growing one after another. They can be sold at a high price, but it requires a special secret technique to accelerate the growth of the fruits … subordinate is willing to plant these fruits for City Lord …" Lu Nanzi said respectfully.
"Fire Maple Fruit? I've heard of this fruit before. It seems to be expensive, but … this doesn't seem to be the right time to plant the Fire Maple Fruit … but let's accelerate the growth of the fruits in the future … "Nangong, who was at the side, had some doubts.
He had heard of the famous Fire Maple Fruit before. Cultivators could consume it to improve their body refining technique, but the effect wasn't obvious. Although the price wasn't cheap, Ning City wasn't short of money …
Nangong had some concerns because he had heard from Ning Fan that there would be a great war in less than three months!
It could be two months or even longer than three months. It all depended on the time when the Sect Master of Heavenly Dao Sect would come out of seclusion … but Ning City would be facing a great war soon. It was more important to prepare for the war. Planting the Fire Maple Fruit at this moment seemed to be neglecting the essentials …
Nangong's suggestion was extremely pertinent. Upon hearing this, Lu Nanzi's face revealed a look of disappointment.
Lu Family had once relied on the Fire Maple Fruit to become rich. He felt somewhat regretful that he couldn't accelerate the growth of the Fire Maple Fruit.
However, Nangong's authority in Ning City was only lower than Black Devil Ning and Ning Fan. So, he didn't dare to refute.
However, his words didn't arouse Nangong's interest, but Black Devil Ning who was at the side revealed a look of surprise.
"Fire Maple Fruit? Can you really accelerate the growth of this fruit? "
"Uh, City Lord needs this fruit? If you need it, this season is the best time to accelerate the growth of the Fire Maple Fruit. In three days, I will lead the Nan Lou Guards to cast a secret technique to accelerate the growth of a large number of Fire Maple Fruits. "
"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you! I need the Fire Maple Fruit, the more the better! "
Black Devil Ning, no, Ning Fan's eyes flashed!
He had never thought that Ning City would have an unexpected harvest of the Fire Maple Fruit. In the ancient pill scroll that Xue Qing gave him, there was a pill called Yellow Turban Pill.
Third Revolution Pill, Yellow Turban Pill! This pill was a secret pill used by the Yellow Turban Warriors of the Ancient Heavenly Court for body refinement. Even in ancient times, not many people knew about it.
The concoction of this pill required several kinds of ancient pill concoction techniques. Even if they had the Fire Maple Fruit, Xue Qing and the others wouldn't be able to concoct it.
However, Ning Fan knew those pill concoction techniques. Today, he even obtained the Fire Maple Fruit by chance.
Outside of Ning City was the place where the Fire Maple Fruit grew. This kind of coincidence wasn't God's will, but fate!
Ning Fan closed his eyes slightly. Cultivators had fate that was ethereal and invisible. Rumor had it that there were Fiendgods in ancient times who could change fate. If one's fate was good, one would encounter treasures everywhere. If one's fate was bad, one would encounter misfortune everywhere.
The ones with the best fate were naturally the giants in ancient times. The one with the worst fate was the most famous one in ancient times. His name was Shen Gongbao. What was worth mentioning was the Yellow Turban Pill.
The effect of this pill wasn't as good as the Jade Royal Pill, but if he had a large number of Fire Maple Fruits, he could concoct a large number of Yellow Turban Pills to enhance his body refinement realm!
His body refinement realm was at the peak of the Sixth Realm of Silver Light. He only needed to break through three more realms to reach the Silver Bone Realm!
The silver light converged into his bones, turning his bones into silver. His fists could shake a Nascent Soul!
If he could consume a large number of Yellow Turban Pills within these three months, he would be able to defeat his enemies with the strength of his body even if he was just a white-clothed incarnation!
Ning Fan's fate was considered good so far, although there were many people who had better fate than him.
