A secret technique was used to soften the corpse.
The female corpse laid naked in the wooden tub. Just the warm water made her tender skin hurt immediately.
It's hot … She begged with a pitiful look.
Is that so … Ning Fan's eyes were filled with helplessness. He dipped his finger into the water. The water temperature was only a few degrees higher than a normal person's body temperature.
Perhaps the female corpse was used to the cold body.
He could be cruel to his enemies, but it was fine to love his wife.
Although the female corpse was not his wife … His good impression of Mu Weiliang and the time he spent with the female corpse made him not much different from his wife.
He flicked his finger and a trace of ice force entered the wooden tub. The temperature of the water immediately dropped.
The female corpse's eyebrows loosened. She revealed a comfortable expression and smiled sweetly.
Light … Thank … Thank …
En. Don't move. I will help you bathe.
The female corpse's pale face was still rotten to the bone. But her eyes were pure and without any thoughts. Her soft hand moved the mist and the faint red flower petals. She softly hummed a nursery rhyme.
At this moment, her expression reminded Ning Fan of Si Wuxie.
Si Wuxie …
Ning Fan silently rolled up his sleeves and carefully wiped the rotting body of the female corpse with a cloth towel.
It was hard for outsiders to imagine that the Devil King, who was the talk of the world, had such a gentle side.
When he was at the Early Nascent Soul Realm, he was unable to control the evil qi in his heart. But after he reached the Mid Nascent Soul Realm, he was able to do it.
Wei Liang, does it hurt?
The Corpse Devil should not be able to feel pain, cold or hot. But this female corpse could feel the cold and hot as well as a headache. Otherwise, the Primordial Photovoltaic Evil Formation would only freeze her in place and not cause such severe pain.
No … It hurts … The female corpse shook her head. Her hair was rubbed by Ning Fan's fragrant medicinal liquid, causing bubbles to appear.
Her pure eyes were filled with interest. She lifted her jade-like finger and popped the bubbles one by one.
Then, pointing at herself, she tilted her head slightly and asked curiously, "My … name … is … Wei … Liang?"
En. You are Mu Weiliang. I am Ning Fan. But in the Endless Outer Sea, you have to call me Zhou Ming
"No … you … are … light!" The female corpse was unwavering. She had to call him this.
"Whatever you like …" Ning Fan could not help but laugh. His palm caressed the black hair of the female corpse. Her face, her collarbone, her breasts, her lower abdomen and even the area between her thighs were carefully washed.
Every time Ning Fan touched her sensitive spots, her delicate body would tense up.
There were even a few times when his eyes shone with green light as if he was about to explode. But every time, he was threatened by Ning Fan.
For the last time, as soon as she flashed an ominous glint, she turned around and suppressed it on her own. This was a good sign.
She also reluctantly stopped rejecting Ning Fan's touch.
"Alright, you rest for a while …"
The dead woman wrapped herself in a bath towel and climbed onto the bed. She looked confused.
"Rest … What … Is … Rest …"
"En, I forgot. Refined corpses don't need to sleep. You can do some embroidery. I will grind the medicinal liquid for you to prevent your body from rotting …"
For the next few days, Ning Fan did not step out of his residence. He was grinding spiritual herbs in the palace and applying them on the female corpse.
Although the female corpse did not like intimate actions, she gradually got used to Ning Fan's intimate actions. He held Ning Fan's white robe and embroidered a unique black flower on it.
That flower did not belong to the mortal world. Ning Fan had never seen it with his own eyes. He only saw it in Ancient Chaos's memory. He remembered that it was called the Udumbara Flower.
Since the refined corpses had lost their vitality, their wounds would not heal on their own. Ning Fan could only use the medicinal liquid to preserve the wound and refine the female corpse's wound in the flame. Then, he used a secret technique to conceal the corpse qi of the corpse devil.
At first, the female corpse looked at the Heavenly Frost and Earthly Flame with fear. However, after becoming familiar with Ning Fan, she finally plucked up her courage and entered the sea of flames.
Her wound gradually healed …
She changed into a white robe and no corpse qi could be seen on her.
Other than her pale face and pale lips which made her look weak and pitiful, her other actions were not much different from ordinary people.
Her long black hair was combed to one side by herself. The silver needles were also kept in her sleeves as a weapon.
If she did not speak, no one would suspect her identity.
If she did not use force, no one would know that she was a terrifying corpse devil comparable to a Mid Spirit Severing Realm expert!
When Ning Fan led the beautiful female corpse out of the palace, all the female guards' eyes lit up.
What an otherworldly woman … Although her eyes were pure, there was a trace of high and mighty respect between her eyebrows, which made people not dare to blaspheme her outstanding beauty.
Her holiness was like Si Wuxie.
But her purity and indifference was like Mu Weiliang.
"Congratulations to master for getting a new concubine …" Bing Ling and Yue Ling immediately bowed to Ning Fan. Ning Tianer, Ning Pinger and the other female guards also bowed to Ning Fan in a soft voice.
"En. I have stayed in the Pill Cauldron Gate for a long time. You all should return to the Cauldron Ring first. If there is a chance in the future, I will let you all come out for a breather."
"Yes!"
…
He came out of seclusion!
After nearly three months of seclusion, Ning Fan's strength had increased tremendously again.
Intermediate Nascent Magic Force, Early Nascent Demon Force, Peak Silver Bone Body Refinement Realm and Peak Nascent Soul Realm spirit sense.
He had unlocked the second level of the Yin Yang Transformation and subdued the female corpse with great difficulty.
Although the female corpse was unable to control her Heart of Slaughter and couldn't be considered as a combat power … But if she could be put to good use in the future, Ning Fan would have two Spirit Severing Realm subordinates, Stone Warrior and the female corpse!
Xiao Wanluo was still waiting outside the stone chamber for three months.
When Ning Fan and the female corpse walked out, he immediately went to greet them. But he was immediately shocked.
He couldn't see through Ning Fan's current cultivation realm!
His aura was heavy and firm. It was completely different from three months ago!
If he didn't know that this person was the murderous devil Zhou Ming, Xiao Wanluo would have thought that Ning Fan was just an ordinary mortal prince. As for the white-robed female corpse, he couldn't see through her cultivation realm. He just thought that she was one of Ning Fan's cauldron concubines.
He knew that Ning Fan's true cultivation realm was only at the Mid Nascent Soul Realm. He had seen Ning Fan breaking through the Heavenly Tribulation with his own eyes. However, Ning Fan's combat power and techniques were definitely stronger than Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
Before he went into seclusion, he was able to defeat Xiang Liao. After that, he comprehended the Soul Extraction Technique. He was afraid that not many cultivators below the Spirit Severing Realm in the External Endless Sea could be his match.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Zhou!"
"Hehe. You're welcome." Ning Fan cupped his fists and smiled. Xiao Wanluo was stunned.
Smile!
That devil Zhou Ming is smiling!
This is really … terrifying!
Rumor has it that a powerful devil lord could restrain his killing intent at will. The more he smiles, the more it means that his killing intent has been aroused.
Xiao Wanluo felt uneasy. Did I offend Old Devil Zhou Ming with my first sentence?
Otherwise, why would this devil lord smile at me … What a freaking creepy smile!
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, do you have something against me?" Xiao Wanluo asked cautiously.
"No, but Fellow Daoist Xiao is waiting outside my stone chamber. Could it be that you have something to ask of me?"
"Hehe. I do have something to ask of you. I think Fellow Daoist Zhou should have already guessed it with your intelligence. I'll be frank with you. I want you to become the old ancestor of my Pill Cauldron Gate! "
"The old ancestor of the Pill Cauldron Gate?"
Ning Fan was slightly surprised. He initially thought that Xiao Wanluo would only ask him to be a Guest Elder at most. Unexpectedly, he asked him to be the old ancestor of the Pill Cauldron Gate.
What is a Guest Elder? To put it simply, it's a hired thug of the Pill Cauldron Gate.
What is an old ancestor? To put it simply, Xiao Wanluo lowered his seniority and acknowledged Ning Fan as his senior …
If word got out that the old ancestor of the Pill Cauldron Gate was not Xiao Wanluo but Ning Fan, no one would dare to offend the Pill Cauldron Gate anymore.
But in that case, the Pill Cauldron Gate would have a new master …
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, could it be that you're joking …?" Ning Fan looked at Xiao Wanluo meaningfully. What exactly is this Xiao Wanluo trying to achieve by making a Half-Step Grand Cultivator lower his status and acknowledge a 'thief' as his father?
If the Yin Yang Locket could eavesdrop on a man's thoughts, Ning Fan was prepared to listen to Xiao Wanluo's thoughts.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please don't misunderstand me. I'm sincerely asking you to be the old ancestor of my Pill Cauldron Gate so that we can get out of our current predicament. I heard that Fellow Daoist has a good relationship with Elder Ling … "
"I won't do anything that doesn't bring me any benefits. As for establishing a relationship with me … there's no need for that! "Ning Fan said straightforwardly.
"Of course. Of course, I won't forget about it …" Xiao Wanluo's expression did not change but his heart was filled with pity. It seems like it won't be easy to make Ning Fan help him willingly with his relationship with Ling Guiku.
"First of all, I'll return the tens of millions of immortal jades that Fellow Daoist spent on the auction … Secondly, from today onwards, all the cauldrons that our Pill Cauldron Gate train will belong to Fellow Daoist alone!"
Xiao Wanluo paused and observed Ning Fan's expression carefully. However, Ning Fan's expression did not change at all.
To a rookie who had just started his cultivation, these two benefits were like two heavenly meat pies that would definitely move his heart. However, to Ning Fan, these two benefits were nothing but empty promises.
"If I want the immortal jades, killing you will be as easy as taking something out of my pocket! Do I need you to return them to me?! As for the cauldrons … I've already taken all the cauldrons in the Pill Cauldron Gate. I'm afraid I'll need at least a few hundred years to nurture another Nascent Soul Realm cauldron … Your promise is just empty talk! If you don't have any sincerity, don't blame me for being merciless! "
After withdrawing his smile, Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. Xiao Wanluo immediately took a few steps back and his forehead was filled with sweat.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, don't worry. I haven't finished my words! There's more benefits, the biggest one! "
"Speak!"
"Do you know about the Pleasure Devil Sect?!"
"It's one of the ten sects. How could I not know about it? I heard that this sect sells human cauldrons. I was planning to visit this sect a few days ago to buy some human cauldrons. How could I not know about it?"
Ning Fan withdrew his cold intent and Xiao Wanluo heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that it was not easy to fool this Zhou Ming.
That's right. The first two promises were empty promises. The third one was the one that he was confident about moving Ning Fan's heart.
However, the price of the third benefit was too great. If it wasn't because he had no other choice, he would never give it to Ning Fan.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you might not know this, but most of the female cauldrons of the Pleasure Devil Sect were plundered from the Outer Endless Sea. However, most of them were captured from the Inner Endless Sea … This sect is very powerful. It is said that one of the Seven Venerables of the Inner Endless Sea had planted this sect in the Outer Endless Sea. The auction of the cauldrons of this sect was divided into three levels. The first level was the Gold Core Realm. The second level was the Nascent Soul Realm. The third level was the Grand Cultivator Realm. However, not all Grand Cultivators could enter. Only cultivators with the Pleasure Devil Token could enter. Fellow Daoist's strength is terrifying. However, if you don't have the token, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the auction of the Grand Cultivator Realm. That's why you won't be able to buy the cauldron. "
"Oh? Is there such a thing? But what does it have to do with me becoming the old ancestor of the Pill Cauldron Realm? Could it be that Fellow Daoist has a Pleasure Devil Token and is willing to give it to me if I become the old ancestor of the Pill Cauldron Realm? "
"That's right! This token is a token that a Half-Step Divine Transformation Realm ancestor of my sect obtained from the Pleasure Devil Sect countless years ago. If Fellow Daoist becomes the old ancestor of my Pill Cauldron Realm, I will certainly give it to you! Moreover, there's another use for this token … If you participate in the auction of the Grand Cultivator Realm with this token, you will be able to get the Mother Earth Nether Milk from the Pleasure Devil Sect! "
"Mother Earth Nether Milk?"
Ning Fan was inwardly surprised. He had heard of this item before. A drop of Mother Earth Nether Milk could increase one's magic power by 10 units. It was extremely rare. If one could get this item with the token, it was no wonder that Xiao Wanluo would feel the pinch when he handed over the Pleasure Devil Token.
However, what caught Ning Fan's attention was not the Mother Earth Nether Milk but the heart of the Mother Earth!
The Mother Earth Nether Milk was the stone milk secreted by the heart of the Mother Earth. Since the Pleasure Devil Sect has the Mother Earth Nether Milk, it probably has the heart of the Mother Earth …
Rumor has it that a Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator who consumes the Mother Earth Nether Milk will have a ten percent chance of attaining the Divine Transformation Realm!
Attaining the Divine Transformation Realm was already very difficult. Increasing the chance by ten percent could be said to be heaven-defying!
If it has the benefits of the Mother Earth Nether Milk, this Pleasure Devil Token would be extremely valuable.
However, it was hard for Ning Fan to imagine that the Pleasure Devil Sect, which was one of the ten great sects and was supported by the seven venerated beings of the internal sea, would give the Mother Earth Nether Milk to win over a great cultivator of the External Endless Sea? Is it really necessary?
There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Especially in the External Endless Sea where there is no profit to be had.
The holder of this Pleasure Devil Token can take a drop of the Mother Earth Nether Milk and participate in the auction of the Pleasure Devil Sect with the identity of the Old Ancestor of the Pill Cauldron Sect. However, this drop of Mother Earth Nether Milk was probably not given for free. It was likely that the sect had some requirements for the holder of the token and the holder would have to pay a certain price.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed and he stared at Xiao Wanluo deeply.
This Xiao Wanluo must have only said good things … He kept the bad things to himself!
"You didn't finish your sentence … I'm afraid that the holder of the Pleasure Devil Token will have to fulfill some obligations, right?"
"Aiya, look at my memory. I was confused and forgot to tell you … Indeed, the benefits of holding this token are not small. You can get a drop of Mother Earth Nether Milk. However, once you arrive at the Pleasure Devil Sect, you must listen to the sect's instructions and enter the 'Secret Realm of the Broken World' to collect some 'small items' as part of your mission … The mission is indeed dangerous but if you are careful, it won't be difficult to complete it. Even if you fail the mission, it doesn't matter. That drop of Mother Earth Nether Milk is really a free gift! "
Xiao Wanluo chuckled but his forehead was full of sweat. He could not hide anything from Ning Fan even if he wanted to. This Ning Fan was not easy to fool.
"I will judge whether it's dangerous or not! However, it's not a reason for you to hide it from me! You may leave now. I will consider this matter! "
"Yes, yes!" Xiao Wanluo hurriedly retreated while complaining. It seemed like his untruthful attitude had displeased Ning Fan.
In front of Ning Fan, he could not even show the arrogance of a Late Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
* Sigh * I hope that Ning Fan can accept the identity of the Pill Cauldron Old Ancestor … Otherwise, I, Xiao Wanluo, will really have to run away.
After Xiao Wanluo left, Ning Fan summoned Stone Warrior from the dark and asked him about what Xiao Wanluo said.
Stone Warrior naturally told him everything he knew.
"He didn't lie. The Pleasure Devil Sect does have the 'Heart of Mother Earth' and they will give the holder a drop of Mother Earth Nether Milk. The price is to enter the 'Secret Realm of the Broken World', hunt demonic beasts and collect demon cores … That secret realm is located at the bottom of the sea of the Pleasure Devil Immortal Island. Only cultivators below the Spirit Severing Realm can enter that place.
"Wild Beast? A Wild Beast that is comparable to a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator? Entering the secret realm to hunt Wild Beasts and obtain their demon cores … Isn't this dangerous? It's simply … crazy! "Ning Fan frowned.
"Although it's called a Wild Beast, it's actually different. Speaking of which, that secret realm is really strange … Gold Core Realm demonic beasts can advance to the Spirit Severing Realm after a few hundred years … However, this Wild Beast's demonic power is comparable to that of a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator. However, their demonic techniques, cultivation realms and techniques are only at the Gold Core Realm … If they are peak Grand Cultivators, they might be able to hunt some of them … Those who enter the secret realm without accomplishing anything will be rewarded with a drop of Mother Earth Nether Milk. If they manage to kill a Wild Beast and obtain a demon core, they can exchange it for a drop of Mother Earth Nether Milk. Rumor has it that there was once a Grand Cultivator who killed 11 Wild Beasts in this secret realm and exchanged 11 demon cores for 11 drops of Mother Earth Nether Milk. His magic power increased by 110 units … If you want to break through to the Late Nascent Soul Realm, this secret realm is not a bad choice. "
"A 'False Wild Beast' that only has Spirit Severing Realm magic power but has Gold Core Realm techniques … One demon core for one drop of Mother Earth Nether Milk … This is a good deal. Other than buying human cauldrons, I can also explore the secret realm. If it's a real Wild Beast, I will naturally avoid it. However, it's just a False Wild Beast … It's not difficult to kill it! One thousand demon cores equals to one thousand units of magic power! If there's a chance to steal the Heart of Mother Earth from the Pleasure Devil Sect, it would be the best … However, such a precious item might not even be kept in the External Endless Sea. It's most likely in the hands of the mysterious Seven Venerated Beings of the Internal Endless Sea … "
"I don't mind if you want to go to the Pleasure Devil Sect. However, what about the thing you promised me …" Stone Warrior began to nag again.
"Don't worry. I will look for Bei Xiaoman before I leave Penglai Island!"
Ning Fan became impatient. He pressed his finger and kept Shi Bing's magical gemstone puppet.
In just a few moments, he had already made up his mind.
If he wanted to go to the Pleasure Devil Sect and explore the secret realm, he would have to accept Xiao Wanluo's request and go there with his identity as the Pill Cauldron Old Ancestor!
…
At the moment when he kept the gemstone puppet, Stone Warrior glanced at the female corpse.
All of a sudden, her eyes flashed with displeasure. She did not like being spied on by men other than Ning Fan!
Her gaze made Shi Bing's stone body tremble. Stone Warrior was puzzled, fearful and shocked!
"This woman doesn't have a trace of magic power. Why do I feel such a terrifying aura?! Could it be that she is … a Mid Spirit Severing Realm expert?! That Zhou Ming has tamed another Middle-stage Soul Formation fighter?! "(To be continued)
