"The hand seals of the spirit seals are all in this jade slip. It was personally written by Wan Er. If you want to learn it, take it …"
Lu Wan Er took out a jade slip from her storage pouch and handed it to Ning Fan.
Her face immediately turned red when she accidentally touched Ning Fan's palm. She averted her gaze and tried to talk about something else.
"By the way … I wonder what kind of spirit iron General Bei wants to add to this whip …"
"This piece!"
Ning Fan took out a piece of black spirit iron and passed it to Lu Wan Er. Her beautiful eyes flashed.
"Void Grade Spirit Iron! Mortal Void Realm ability, Absorption Technique! Even Titled Demon Generals don't have this grade of spirit iron and you actually have it! "
"How about it, Miss Wan Er? Do you have the confidence to add the Absorption Technique to this whip?"
"This … Not a problem!"
Lu Wan Er pursed her lips. This Spirit Shattering Whip was already a High Grade Supreme Grade Spirit Iron. It's not going to be easy to attach it to a Void Grade Spirit Iron … She might have to spend a lot of effort to apply it on the whip …
However, this was the only thing that Lu Wan Er could do for Ning Fan. She did not want to reject him …
Even though Seven Apricot City's Ink Like Water was attached to the sword, the Separation Slayer at that time was just a Low Grade Flying Sword after all.
The difficulty of attaching the spirit this time was definitely not comparable to the first time.
"Thank you … But don't force yourself too much. Magic treasures are dead objects after all. It's not worth it to damage yourself for a dead object …"
Ning Fan saw through Lu Wan Er's thoughts. He stroked her hair and left with a smile.
Only Lu Wan Er was left beside the smelting furnace. Her face was burning hot.
Holding the Spirit Shattering Whip, her heart became even more determined.
"It's not worth it or not. It's only whether I'm willing or not …"
…
In the pill refinement room, Ning Fan sat cross-legged on a cushion. However, he did not start concocting pills immediately. Instead, he touched his glabella and took out the Separation Slayer Sword.
Along the way, he had killed many people to sharpen his sword light. The Separation Slayer Sword was barely a Low Grade Supreme Grade Treasure. It was still far from reaching the Mid Grade.
A magic treasure of this grade could not harm a Spirit Severing Realm expert at all.
Spirit Severing Realm, Immemorial Demon Veins … Ning Fan had a premonition that he would have to face many immemorial demons like Li Ban in the upcoming battle.
If he didn't have a suitable Immemorial Divine Weapon, he would be at a great disadvantage …
The Soul Shattering Whip used very few Immemorial Stars. The only thing it was good at was its ability to shatter a soul. With the addition of the absorption ability, this treasure would definitely be able to absorb the enemy's magic power in between attacks. It was extraordinary, but the destructive power of the treasure itself wasn't high.
The purpose of the whip was to bind, plot, and whip all living beings.
The purpose of the sword was its sharpness. It could cut through thousands of images and illusions.
The Starlight Sword Shadow in Ning Fan's hand slowly rotated. After Ning Fan exerted his palm force, it turned into a longsword that looked like water.
"Separation Slayer, Separation Slayer … Your significance is the deepest and the heaviest. You are my first Immemorial Divine Weapon. You are my first Immemorial Divine Weapon. You are the weapon that I obtained after challenging fate for the first time … "
Ning Fan took out the jade slip and pressed it against his glabella.
Immediately, a graceful female voice sounded in his Divine Sense, imparting the finger technique of the Spirit Seal.
After a long time, Ning Fan put away the jade slip and looked at Separation Slayer with contemplative eyes.
It wasn't difficult to learn the finger incantation of the Spiritual Seal. It was just a Nascent Level Intermediate Demonic Art.
What was difficult to learn was the Ancient Demon Words that formed the Spiritual Seal.
Each of the Ancient Demon Words was a set of talisman formations that contained great divine power.
The number of characters that Ning Fan had learned was only 200.
Each Spiritual Seal was formed by combining the main Demon Words with a different number of secondary Demon Words.
There were only three types of Spiritual Seals that could be completely combined from these 200 words.
"Firm", "Fire", "Sharpness".
"Firm" Spiritual Seal could increase the defense of a magical treasure.
"Fire" Spiritual Seal could increase the power of a magical treasure.
"Sharpness" Spiritual Seal could increase the sharpness of a magical treasure.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed. The most suitable thing for the Separation Slayer was its sharpness!
The sword didn't need any fancy divine power or complicated manipulation methods. It only needed to be strong enough to slash the enemy.
As if he had made up his mind, he immediately uttered a word and took out the Separation Slayer. He formed a hand seal and drew a few Ancient Demon Words on the body of the sword.
"Sharpness" Spiritual Seal was formed by the word "sharpness" and eleven secondary Demon Words.
There was a total of 312 strokes!
Ning Fan felt that this stroke of his had consumed sixty years' worth of demon power and all of it had turned into the power of the Spiritual Seal!
He thought to himself that this technique of attaching Spiritual Seals was really not done by mortals.
A single word "sharpness" required 312 strokes. Only the Nascent Queen Demon Race who had at least 312 units of demon power would be able to inscribe such a Spiritual Seal on a magical treasure. Moreover, every time they inscribed a Spiritual Seal, they would need to rest for a long time and circulate their Spiritual Qi in order to fully recover their demon power.
Ning Fan's fingertips were shaky. He failed after inscribing 97 strokes.
He was silent for a moment, thinking about the finger technique and immediately inscribed the seal again.
This time, he inscribed a total of 276 strokes before he failed.
He seemed to have understood something and inscribed the seal again. The third time, he succeeded!
When the Sharpness Spiritual Seal turned into mysterious patterns and attached to the body of the Separation Slayer, Ning Fan could clearly feel that the body of the Separation Slayer trembled!
It was just the power of a single word, but it seemed to have added sixty years' worth of sword power to the Separation Slayer.
"Interesting. If I inscribe ten thousand Sharpness Spiritual Seals on the Separation Slayer, this sword can be upgraded to a Spiritual Treasure. The sharpness of this sword is enough to break the void and kill a Spirit Severing Realm expert!"
Ning Fan took a deep breath. Traces of demon power turned into Spiritual Seals and inscribed them on the Separation Slayer.
2, 3, 4 …
Ning Fan's finger technique became more and more skillful. Of course, it was just the mastery of the word "sharpness".
After inscribing 24 Spiritual Seals, Ning Fan's demon power was exhausted. He exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi and took out a pill to recover his demon power.
One day later, his demon power was fully recovered and he inscribed Spiritual Seals on the Separation Slayer again.
25, 26, 27 …
After inscribing 49 Spiritual Seals, his demon power was depleted.
Ning Fan realized that the more Spiritual Seals he had, the harder it was to inscribe them.
He took a pill to regulate his breathing. The next day, he inscribed Spiritual Seals again.
Day after day, the Golden Flame Chariot was on its way. The flies behind the chariot were tailing it. Lu Wan Er was attaching her Spiritual Treasure to her magical treasure while Ning Fan was inscribing Spiritual Seals.
On the fifth day, the number of Spiritual Seals reached 114 and the Separation Slayer broke through to the Mid Supreme Grade Magical Treasure.
On the 14th day, the number of Spiritual Seals reached 328 and the Separation Slayer broke through to the High Supreme Grade.
On the 65th day, the number of Spiritual Seals reached 1547 and the Separation Slayer broke through to the Peak Supreme Grade.
On the 154th day, the number of Spiritual Seals reached 7455 and the Separation Slayer became even sharper than the ordinary Profound Sky Incomplete Treasures.
Five months!
For five whole months, Ning Fan had consumed all the recovery pills given by Xu Rushan just to refine a single treasure.
However, Ning Fan was barely able to inscribe the 7456th Spiritual Seal. Even if he managed to inscribe it, it wasn't perfect.
Presumably, it was because his demon power had only reached this realm … The inscribing of Spiritual Seals required the demon power of the person who inscribed it to be extraordinary.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed as he looked at the Starlight Longsword in his palm.
This sword was very sharp!
After being strengthened by 7455 Spiritual Seals, this sword was even better than the ordinary Profound Sky Incomplete Treasures.
Because only the word "sharpness" was inscribed on it, even the sharpness of a true Spirit Rank flying sword might not be comparable to the Separation Slayer!
Just by placing it flat on his palm, the edge of the sword flashed with a sharp light, piercing through the hollow space, creating a crack …
Ning Fan waved the Separation Slayer and made a gentle slash. The hollow space in front of him was cut open by an ordinary sword, separating into two sides. It was pitch-black …
"What a sharp sword! With this sword, even if Yue Lingkong's physical body is at the Second Level of the Jade Life Realm, I can still break her defense with a single slash! "
If it was an ordinary cultivator, they would never just focus on increasing the sharpness of the flying sword and neglect the other factors such as speed, durability and the ability to change their abilities.
Ning Fan did not consider speed and abilities because the Separation Slayer was not a flying sword!
He was also not worried that the Separation Slayer would break because it was not sturdy enough … This was a sword that was completely refined from the Immemorial Star Iron. It could be defeated but it could not be broken!
Ning Fan was extremely satisfied with the result of five months of inscribing.
A dot of Separation Slayer turned into starlight and went back into his glabella.
After scanning the area with his spirit sense, he found that Lu Wan 'er was still attaching her spirit to the Spirit Shattering Whip after five whole months …
Ning Fan frowned and felt slightly worried.
"Is attaching a Void Rank ability to a Supreme Grade Treasure so difficult …?"
He heaved a sigh of relief when he sensed that Lu Wan'er's aura was still present.
In five months, the golden flame chariot had flown two hundred and forty million miles away from Northern Desert City!
However, it was still 500 million miles away from the Luo Yun Prefecture.
As such, he could only concoct pills for now and wait for Wan 'er to come out of closed door cultivation.
"Condense!"
In the pill refinement room, Ning Fan made a grabbing motion with his hand and two illusory pill cauldrons appeared.
One was filled with moisture, while the other was filled with demonic energy.
Cauldron of Divine Will! It was a necessary technique for a Fifth Revolution Pill Master!
The first was the Cauldron of Rain Will, and the second was the Demonic Will of Demonic Mountain!
The Mountain Devil Intent was a few times stronger than the Rain Intent. However, Ning Fan shook his head. With a point of his finger, the Mountain Cauldron was destroyed. Then, he stretched out his hand and the Rain Cauldron fell on top of the sea of golden flames.
Although the Mountain Will was strong, its demonic nature was heavy. It was not suitable for alchemy. On the contrary, although the rain was weak, it was extremely nourishing, making it extremely suitable for Crucible Transformation Realm Alchemy.
There were four types of Fifth Revolution Pills that he needed to concoct.
Appearance Restoration Pill, Separation and Reunion Pill, General Breakthrough Pill and Profound Blood Pill.
Fortunately, all four of them were Low Grade Fifth Revolution Pills. With Ning Fan's current pill refinement technique, he was able to concoct them.
However, this was his first time concocting a Fifth Revolution Pill.
Considering the need to accumulate experience and fail, Ning Fan did not start with the Appearance Restoration Pill. Instead, he started with the Separation and Reunion Pill which had the most medicinal ingredients.
The medicinal ingredients for this pill were enough to concoct it eleven times. Ning Fan allowed ten failures.
In order to reduce the time required to concoct each Fifth Revolution Pill, Ning Fan waved his palm and took out the Green Luan Flame.
Now that he had two types of Earth Flames and three types of Heavenly Frost in his body, he no longer needed to look for a cold place to devour the Earth Flames.
Because there was one more type of Heavenly Frost in his body, it was extremely cold. He needed the third type of Earth Flame to balance the cold power.
After devouring the Green Luan Flame for half a month, Ning Fan's body remained motionless as if he was meditating.
Half a month later, his eyes opened and his aura force fluctuated. His magic power began to increase rapidly.
With his current cultivation base, devouring the Green Luan Flame was enough to convert one-third of its fire power into magic power.
675 units of magic power. After increasing it by 340 units, it reached 1015 units.
Improving his magic power was not his main goal. Thus, he did not refine the Geocentric Nether Milk.
His goal was to use the three types of earthly flames and three types of heavenly frost to form a gray yin-yang flame to refine pills!
As such, his concoction speed was six times faster than an ordinary Fifth Revolution Pill Master.
According to his estimation, even if he refined the Separation and Reunion Pill, it would only take a month.
Out of the eleven sets of medicinal ingredients, Ning Fan failed eight times. On his ninth attempt, he concocted a half-finished pill.
Instead of feeling disappointed, he was satisfied. After nine attempts, he had a vague understanding of the concoction of a Fifth Revolution Pill.
There were seven sets of ingredients for the General Breakthrough Pill, and he had failed twice. On his third try, he had concocted a defective pill.
He had only failed once to refine the Mysterious Blood Pill. The second time, he had directly refined a pill that barely passed.
Finally, there was the Face Restoration Pill. He failed once and concocted an incomplete pill.
After three months of failure, Ning Fan had enough experience in concocting pills.
He repeatedly pondered, and when he was confident enough, it was time to start refining pills.
On the fourth month, the Separation and Reunion Pill was formed.
On the fifth month, the General Breakthrough Pill was formed.
On the sixth month, the Abstruse Blood Pill was formed.
On the eighth month, two Face Restoration Pills were formed.
After eight months of pill concoction, Ning Fan could finally become a qualified Low Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Master.
However, after eight months of hard work, Ning Fan helplessly realized that the improvement in his pill concoction technique was negligible.
If he wanted to raise his pill concoction technique to the Intermediate Grade, it would definitely be impossible without tens of years of hard work …
There was less than a month left until he reached the province.
Ning Fan kept the five pills and stretched his muscles. Sounds of bones colliding could be heard.
"Is this the so-called cultivation has no time … 5 months to refine treasures and 8 months to concoct pills. The life of a cultivator is really boring … The promise of five months has already passed. I wonder if Xu Qiuling is worried about me … There are still thirty years left before the sword breaks in her body. Her life is temporarily fine …"
He did not immediately summon Feng Nu and Cha Nu to restore their appearance. The Face Restoration Pill had to be taken along with a medicinal bath.
As the two ladies were demons, there were a few types of spiritual herbs that needed to be replaced with demonic herbs.
Fortunately, demonic herbs were not that rare and could be easily bought in the province.
He pushed the door open and scanned the surroundings with his spirit sense. Surprisingly, Lu Wan Er was still in seclusion.
However, the fluctuations of magical treasures in the refinement room became more and more intense.
"Is it about to succeed …?"
Ning Fan did not dare to enter the refinement room without permission in case he disturbed Lu Wan Er.
However, after a few days, Ning Fan could faintly feel that Lu Wan Er's qi which was originally normal was rapidly weakening during the few days when the spirit attachment was about to succeed …
Ning Fan's eyes darkened. How could he not know that Lu Wan Er was sacrificing her blood to the treasure at the last moment?
The commotion in the refinement room gradually calmed down.
The door opened and a pale and haggard lady in purple robes walked out.
One year and three months of spirit attachment was a huge consumption for a Mid Nascent Soul Realm cultivator like her.
Not only did she attach the absorption ability to the Spirit Shattering Whip, she also attached the Mortal Void Realm Lightning Spirit ability to increase the destructive power of the Blood Lightning Nascent Shattering Whip.
She did not have any Mortal Void Realm spiritual iron.
However, from the absorption of the spiritual iron, she could tell that Ning Fan's standards were too high and he looked down on Divine Transformation Realm spiritual iron …
She only had three pieces of Divine Transformation Realm 'Lightning Spirit' spiritual iron.
Thus, she used the secret technique passed down by Yun Jiang – Spirit Ascension Technique. She sacrificed her own blood and extracted three traces of 'Lightning Spirit' and fused them with her blood. Then, she forcefully ascended her spirit and attached the second divine ability to the Mortal Void Realm …
This divine ability was obscure and difficult to learn. The success rate was low and it would also harm her body. However, she did not care about it.
With her Spirit Attachment Technique, it was her first time using Divine Transformation Realm spiritual iron to ascend her spirit to the Mortal Void Realm …
Moreover, it was her first time trying to attach a second divine ability to a spiritual equipment … That was why she wasted a year's time.
She might as well succeed …
However, because her body was too weak, she could not even maintain her human form. Four white fox tails could be seen under her purple dress …
She held the Spirit Shattering Whip as if she was holding the most precious treasure.
She pushed the door open and went out. However, she did not expect to see Ning Fan waiting outside.
"Eh? Why are you here …"
Lu Wan Er smiled sweetly and passed the Spirit Shattering Whip to Ning Fan, expecting him to praise her.
However, Ning Fan's expression darkened and he reprimanded her.
"Why are you so reckless? Didn't I tell you that magic treasures are just inanimate objects? It's not worth it to damage yourself for a magic treasure!"
In ancient times, there were cultivators who threw themselves into the furnace fire to refine Gan Jiang and Mo Xie's swords. From Ning Fan's point of view, it was not worth it!
Today, Lu Wan Er sacrificed her own blood and effort for the Spirit Attachment Technique of the Spirit Shattering Whip.
Lu Wan Er's heart ached.
She sacrificed her own blood and effort just for Lu Bei's Spirit Attachment Technique. In the end, what she got was not praise but reprimand …
However, as soon as this feeling rose in her heart, it was instantly replaced by shyness.
She let out a soft cry and helplessly realized that she was carried by Ning Fan and brought straight to the bedroom.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Ning Fan's hand touched her fox tail, causing her delicate body to tremble and feel limp and powerless.
"Lu … Lu Bei, don't. Don't do it here … With my current body, I can't … can't bear it …" She begged. However, there was a hint of expectation in her heart.
"Bear it?" Ning Fan was so angry that he laughed.
"When your body recovers, there will be a day where you can bear it! We'll talk about this in the future. Now, your only task is to recuperate! Cultivate back the blood and effort that you've lost! If you don't replenish it in time, not only will it harm your lifespan, but it will also greatly affect your cultivation base … I'll bring you to rest! "
Ning Fan wrapped his arms around Lu Wan Er and hugged her even tighter.
He took a step forward and turned into a wisp of smoke, appearing in the bedroom of the Golden Flame Palace.
He took off his embroidered shoes, placed a soft mattress on the bed and covered it with a thin blanket.
Lu Wan Er was like a shy little fox. She curled up in the blanket, revealing only her eyes. Half of her burning face was also hidden under the blanket.
She was hugged by Ning Fan … Moreover, her fox tail, which was the most secret and sensitive part of her body, was touched by Ning Fan …
When she thought about it carefully, she realized that the scolding that was originally filled with grievance was actually a sign of concern …
"Lu Bei is concerned about me. That's why he scolded me … He didn't even look at the magic treasures because he is concerned about me …"
Lu Wan Er's heart thumped wildly.
"Idiot. Idiot … He didn't even look at the two types of magic treasures that had the Spirit Attachment Technique but he only looked at an ugly girl like me … Idiot …"
Lu Wan Er scolded softly.
"Take this pill and rest for the time being. I will protect you …"
"Mm. But you are not allowed to touch me when I am asleep …"
Lu Wan Er's eyelids became increasingly sleepy.
She felt that Ning Fan's finger that was holding the pill went into her lips and touched her soft and moist tongue.
She was a little embarrassed but she did not resist. She gradually closed her eyes as she became more and more sleepy …
Ning Fan looked at Lu Wan Er who was sleeping beside the bed and heaved a sigh of relief.
"If the Silver Blood Pill is consumed in time, it shouldn't cause any damage to the heart. That's good …"
When he thought about how this girl sacrificed her own blood to give him the Spirit Attachment Technique, Ning Fan closed his eyes and felt touched.
From the beginning to the end, this girl had never revealed her thoughts to him.
However, Ning Fan knew all of her thoughts and concerns.
However, Lu Wan Er did not know about Ning Fan's concerns.
"If I tell you that I am not Lu Bei, will you regret it …"
He sighed and touched Lu Wan Er's cheek with his palm. At this moment, the Golden Flame Chariot trembled slightly.
This slight tremble made Ning Fan's eyes reveal a cold light.
As they were approaching the prefecture, the flies that were tailing them became impatient.
Since they could keep up with the speed of the Golden Flame Chariot, these flies were not weak! Three of them were Spirit Severing Realm qi!
Ning Fan held the Spirit Shattering Whip in his hand and disappeared from the Golden Flame Palace like a shadow.
I will use these flies to test the power of my magic treasure!
However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked at the Spirit Shattering Whip in disbelief.
Only then did he realize that this whip had two types of Spirit Attachment Technique.
"Absorption Technique … Lightning Spirit?!"
His heart trembled and his eyes became gentle.
"I see … The reason why you used the Spirit Attachment Technique for a year and three months was because of this second type of Spirit Attachment Technique … You didn't attach your spirit to a magic treasure or ability. Instead, you wanted to attach your own shadow to my heart … You did it …"
"Just now, I should have praised you … My tone was a little heavy …"
He closed his eyes and his gaze became cold again.
"Let's end this quickly … These flies are disturbing Wan 'er's rest …" (To be continued)
