Dugu had to leave after all. Otherwise, his sword soul would be separated from his body for too long …
The sky was dark and the snow was deep. Amidst the falling snowflakes, Ning Fan stood outside the courtyard of the Si Fan Palace where he used to stay. He looked at the plum tree, the green stone and the grave.
Feeling a little strange, he raised his hand and with a thought, a One Heart Sword Seal appeared on the back of his hand, flickering with a faint sword light.
The One Heart Sword Seal was the seal of vow in the Sword World. The man and woman who were planted with this seal would forever be united in their hearts and would never abandon each other … Ning Fan didn't mind being planted with this seal because he didn't make any Heart Devil Oath. However, Little Dugu would be in trouble.
In this life, she could only marry Ning Fan. If she were to marry any other man, she would die from the destruction of the seal.
"Well, I say … Miss Dugu, shouldn't we have a good talk? Since the One Heart Sword Seal has been planted, you … are already my wife …"
"Nonsense! Little Demon Ning! Who's your wife? Also, my name is Dugu, not Dugu … "Little Dugu's angry and embarrassed voice came from the grave, but when she mentioned her surname, her voice suddenly stopped …
The women of the Sword World did not have surnames. If they married, they would inherit their husband's surname in the future.
For example, Dugu's elder sister, Xiao Mei. Her name was only "Mei", and after she and the Old Monster pledged to marry, Xiao Mei called herself Han Mei … Cold Plum Blooming in the Snow. She liked this name.
As for Dugu, if she married Ning Fan, perhaps she would be called Ning Dugu in the future?
The women of the Sword Realm would follow their husbands after they got married. If they didn't have a husband, they wouldn't have a surname for the rest of their lives … The ancestor of the Sword Realm was a woman. She lived her whole life in solitude and was not allowed to have deep feelings. Even when she died, she didn't have a surname …
White Bones Like a Mountain, Forgetting Her Surname … It was referring to that woman.
At this moment, the topic subtly shifted to Dugu's surname. Ning Fan unconsciously asked with great surprise.
"If your surname is not Dugu, then what's your surname … What's your family's surname?"
"My surname is Ling, but my surname isn't Ling … My father didn't allow it. This is the tradition of the Sword World …" Dugu seemed to be rather dissatisfied.
"If that's the case, then when you marry me in the future, you can have whatever surname you want. Ling is fine too, Piggy or Doggy is fine too. It's up to you, okay?" Ning Fans teased.
"Bah! Why should I marry you? Little Demon Ning, I'm telling you, stay as far away from me as possible! "
"Is that so … Let's get down to business …"
The One Heart Sword Seal was obviously Little Dugu's method to get rid of the engagement in the Sword World. Ning Fan, of course, would not be shameless enough to use a sword seal to force Little Dugu to marry him.
His teasing was just to ease the awkward atmosphere between the two. More importantly, he had something to ask of her.
"What business do you have that you would tell me …" In the grave, Dugu Wei was surprised.
"Master has followed you to the Sword World … Please help me take care of him. Don't let him be harmed by others … This is my request. In return, if you have any trouble in the future regarding your marriage, you can let me know. I will definitely go to the Sword World and help you solve your problems. However, even if I help you, I might only have the time after a hundred years … "
This was probably the first time Ning Fan treated Little Dugu seriously. His gaze made Little Dugu's heart tremble. She blushed and thought to herself.
Ning Fan actually begged her … this was really strange …
Little Dugu naturally heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Ning Fan was willing to help her by acting as her fiancé and solving the problem of the engagement. But at the same time, she didn't even realize that she was a little disappointed.
If it wasn't because he wanted to help her, but because he liked her, how great would that be … Father would never allow it.
A wisp of her fragrant soul gently floated out of the grave and stood under the plum tree. Her cold eyes revealed a faint smile.
"If you help me, I will naturally help you. Although I don't like Han Yuanji, he is indeed deeply in love with sister. If sister could wake up one day, she probably wouldn't want to see Han Yuanji getting injured or killed … With me around, no one in the Sword World would dare to touch Han Yuanji. Given Han Yuanji's identity as the deacon of the Four Seas, even Divine Emperor experts wouldn't dare to touch him easily … The only thing we have to pay attention to is the assassination in the Devil World. I will ask father to pay attention to this matter … "
Little Dugu didn't explain to Ning Fan what the deacon of the Four Seas was, but it didn't hinder Ning Fan's understanding. It seemed like the Old Monster had another identity in the Four Heavens other than the sect master of the Black Evil Sect. This identity was something that even the Divine Emperor of the Rain World would have to treat courteously …
The position of deacon in the Four Heavens might not be high … but this identity was enough for the Old Monster to not be plotted against in the Mortal World.
Ning Fan's eyes were filled with gratitude as they fell on Little Dugu's face. He carefully looked at the cold and lonely girl in front of him.
Regardless of whether it was fake or real, in terms of status, this woman was his wife.
She was like a fairy in a painting, but a boorish man like him had interacted with her.
But facing such a peerless fairy, he no longer blushed and lost his composure.
He still remembered that when he was still in Haining when he was young, he accidentally saw a young lady of the main family bathing in the lake. Because the young lady was too beautiful, he exclaimed and lost his composure … Although the young lady did not blame him, many young masters of the main family had secretly blamed him for peeking at the beautiful young lady.
It had changed. Ning Fan's fate had changed, and so had his heart. He no longer had the feelings of a young man. The scenes of slaughter and bloody battles had made his heart old and calm after experiencing the Min Luo Fruit's fifty years of dream.
His peeping made Little Dugu's cold face suddenly embarrassed. She turned her eyes away and secretly blamed Ning Fan for his frivolous gaze.
He clasped his fists and suddenly bowed to Little Dugu.
"Thank you. Your sword qi has saved me several times … and now you have promised to protect my master. I, Ning Fan, owe you two favors! "
"Is that so …" Little Dugu suddenly turned her back and pursed her lips as if she was hesitating.
When she turned back again, she took out an ancient scroll from her bosom.
"For you …" She said lightly, but there was a hint of nervousness in her eyes, causing her to immediately add.
"I'm just lending it to you, not giving it to you … don't think too much …"
Ning Fan took the ancient scroll. There was a trace of warmth and a wisp of virgin fragrance on it.
But what he cared about the most wasn't the fragrance, but the content of the ancient scroll.
He gently flipped through a few pages of the ancient scroll, but immediately showed a shocked expression. He immediately closed the scroll and returned it to Little Dugu.
"I can't accept such a great gift!"
"I said I'm just lending it to you, you don't have to tell others. I obtained this ancient scroll by chance during the Sword Ancestor's trial. Except for me, not even my father has seen it before! I'm giving it to you, so just read it! What are you talking about?! " Little Dugu seemed to be angry. She didn't know why, but seeing Ning Fan treating her like an outsider, she was very angry for no reason.
She stomped her feet and dispersed her soul, returning to the grave.
"Go go go, I don't want to see you!" She ordered.
Holding the ancient scroll, Ning Fan looked at the grave with a sigh.
Under Little Dugu's expulsion, he could only remain silent.
That ancient scroll was a great gift …
"Sword Finger" was said to be one of the inherited secret techniques of the Sword Ancestor. The key to this technique was to refine the cultivator's body as a sword. Eventually, the cultivator would reach the realm where the body was the sword. The cultivator wouldn't hold the sword with his hand, but he would use his body to slash the enemy.
This was the Ancient Fiendgod Body Refining Technique, a lost divine ability of the immemorial era! But somehow, it was obtained by Little Dugu. This girl was really lucky.
The Sword Physique Technique was divided into < Finger Sword >, < Bone of Sword >, < Eye of Sword >, < Heart of Sword >, and more than ten other volumes. Among them, the < Finger Sword > volume recorded the ability to cultivate the finger as a sword.
A cultivator had ten fingers. If the ten fingers were turned into a sword, the cultivator could slay a fiendgod with a flick of the finger. This technique was incomplete. Not to mention the pain and difficulty of refining the finger into a sword, the most important thing was to use the earth vein and spirit vein to temper the finger energy.
Ning Fan still remembered the day when Moksha Emperor's ten thousand zhang * white skeleton body could destroy the heaven and earth with a single finger.
The power of the Fiendgod Body Refining Technique would become more and more terrifying as the body became stronger.
Ning Fan had the first realm of the Silver Bone Realm, but the body refining technique he knew was only the "Six Meter Body" which was a common technique. He had yet to cultivate the "Colossal Bone Secret Art". Even if he did cultivate it, the divine ability would most likely not be as powerful as the "Sword Finger"!
From Little Dugu's words, he could vaguely tell that this girl obtained this technique from the Sword Ancestor's trial.
Ning Fan didn't know what the Sword Ancestor's trial was, but he could imagine that it must be one of the grandest trials in the Sword World. There was even a high possibility that one could obtain the inheritance of the Sword Ancestor by chance, which would then be sought after by all the old monsters.
If the old monsters of the Sword World were to find out about the Finger Sword Technique that he had obtained, they would definitely covet it.
Little Dugu gave such a precious thing to him so easily. This made Ning Fan's heart feel extremely complicated.
This girl had feelings for him. If he couldn't even see this, he would have lived in vain.
"If I don't die after a hundred years, I will definitely go to the Sword World."
After Ning Fan finished his words, a light flashed and disappeared in the snowstorm.
In the grave, Little Dugu who heard Ning Fan's words was silent for a long time. Suddenly, she let out a sweet laugh.
"Humph! Little Devil Ning, at least you still have a conscience. If you didn't come, I would have hated you for the rest of my life."
...
Three days later, Ning Fan watched Little Dugu and the group of cultivators leave on their swords.
The Old Monster left in a carefree manner. He laughed heartily, but he was carefully guarding his storage pouch. Inside the bag of holding was a coffin that was the most important item to him, a coffin made of fire.
Many cultivators of Yue Country heard the news and came to watch this rare scene. Some recognized the Old Monster, some recognized the cultivators of the Sword World, and some old monsters recognized Little Dugu, the ruthless girl who single-handedly defeated all the cultivators of Yue Country dozens of years ago.
Each of them kept quiet out of fear. They secretly wondered how Han Yuanji got involved with the big shots of the Sword World.
Those who were observant could faintly see the abnormality of the Old Monster's cultivation. But now, the Old Monster's disciple, Ning Fan, was like the sun in the sky of Yue Country. Only a fool would go investigate the Old Monster's background
Outside of Seven Apricot City, in the snowstorm, four Harmonious Spirit experts followed behind Ning Fan. They watched the Old Monster until he could no longer be seen.
The four patriarchs felt empty without the Old Monster. Not long after, Ning Fan would also leave Yue Country. Without the noisy Old Monster, Seven Apricot City seemed to have become an empty city.
"Young Lord, from today onwards, where should our Seven Apricot City go?" Mo Rushui bowed and respectfully asked.
"The four patriarchs have followed master and worked hard for half of your lives. Today, isn't it a chance to let go of your worldly affairs and concentrate on cultivation? These dans, merit laws, cultivation experiences, and pill refinement experiences were prepared by me in three days. Perhaps it was a bit rushed, but it should be quite helpful for everyone."
After handing over a bulging storage pouch to Mo Rushui, Ning Fan's eyes swept over Seven Apricot City. He faintly smiled and turned to leave.
After he left, the four patriarchs opened their storage pouches and revealed a shocked expression.
Rising Spirit Dan! Consolidating Spirit Dan! There were even many dans for breaking through to the Gold Core realm!
Among them, the highest rank dans had even reached Fourth Revolution!
The cultivation experience that Ning Fan left behind explained everything from the Harmonious Spirit realm all the way to the Nascent Soul realm. With such a profound understanding, every step was explained in detail. With this experience, the four of them would be able to avoid countless detours in their cultivation!
The four of them originally did not have weak innate talents, but they used their minds on refining, formations, cloud refinement, and spirit augmentation. With these cultivation experiences and dans, it was absolutely not difficult for the four of them to reach the peak of Harmonious Spirit realm within ten years!
Moreover, these experiences made it not a problem for them to form their Gold Core. If they had the chance, they might even have a chance to form their Nascent Soul in this lifetime!
This storage pouch was just a small token from Ning Fan, but it was truly a big gift!
What made the four patriarchs even more concerned was that Ning Fan could take out so many big gifts with a wave of his hand. What was his true cultivation realm? What was the height of his pill refinement technique?
"Unfathomable!" The four patriarchs exclaimed in unison. After the four of them scanned the jade slip with their spirit sense, it suddenly shattered into ashes.
This jade slip was set with a special formation. When the four of them scanned it with their spirit sense, it would self-destruct.
Ning Fan seemed to be worried that these cultivation experiences would attract the attention of some Gold Core old devils and bring unnecessary trouble to Seven Apricot City. Therefore, he self-destructed the jade slip after everyone scanned it.
This made the four patriarchs sigh again.
Young Lord's wisdom is also very high. Such an outstanding person, even in the Endless Sea which was known as the Grave of Cultivators, he would still stir up a storm.
"Thank you, Young Lord! With us here, Seven Apricot City will be safe for a long time! "
The voices of the four were either loud or low, but they used enough magical power to resound through the clouds.
A few hundred li away, Ning Fan withdrew his spirit sense and smiled.
This is good …
