After searching Lu Jiefen's soul, Ning Fan showed no mercy and immediately found out Lu Jiefen's whereabouts.
In the Star Palace, Lu Jiefen had already returned to the Demon Sealing Hall with serious injuries. As soon as he returned to the hall, he immediately went into seclusion to treat his injuries.
If Lu Jiefen finds out that his subordinates are going against Ning Fan, he will certainly be the first one to stop them … Who is Ning Fan? That was a ruthless being whose combat power was comparable to a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert. Moreover, he had two Half-Step Void Refinement Realm corpse puppets with him!
After witnessing Ning Fan's strength, even if Lu Jiefen was given ten thousand times more courage, he would not dare to make Ning Fan his enemy. However, when he returned to the Demon Sealing Sect this time, Lu Jiefen immediately went into seclusion. He did not know that Zi Gu wanted to assassinate Ning Fan at all.
That was why Daoist Purple Gu dared to join the Ming Assassin Alliance to hunt down Ning Fan!
He really wanted to see what kind of explanation Lu Jiefen would give him after he annihilated the Alliance of Ming Assassins!
On the other side, Ning Fan was searching their souls and killing them.
On the other side, the old monsters' minds were in chaos.
He was Zhou Ming!
He was back!
The old eccentrics' hearts trembled, but they retreated even faster, bidding their farewells and leaving. It was as if staying here for even a moment longer would cause them to lose their lives to Zhou Ming.
Yang Gu's white brows furrowed. His temperament was amiable, and he did not like demonic cultivators who cultivated the path of slaughter.
Seeing Ning Fan killing Yellow-Toothed Man with a wave of his hand, Yang Gu also bade farewell and left. However, he was stopped by Ning Fan.
"Fellow Yang, please wait."
"What! What advice does Fellow Daoist Zhou have for me? Could it be that you're so happy with killing that you want to kill this old man on Pleasure Devil Island as well! "
"Fellow Daoist Yang misunderstands. I heard that you're from the Pill Island. I would like to ask for a pill formula from you. "
"Pill recipe? What pill recipe? The pill formulas of my Pill Island are never sold to the outside world … Hmph, or are you trying to kill me and rob me of my treasures in this place, Old Ancestor Mingzun?! "
Yang Gu was displeased. As a great scholar, his temperament was normally gentle, but he had a type of arrogance that wouldn't be subdued by others.
At this moment, there were no outsiders in the hall, and only Yang Gu, Xu Rushan, and the others remained.
If Ning Fan wants to kill Yang Gu, Yang Gu would have no chance of winning since he has the advantage in numbers. However, Yang Gu was not afraid at all.
"Daoist Yang has misunderstood …"
Ning Fan shook his head expressionlessly. He was not a person who would kill indiscriminately. The yellow-toothed man had the Dao of Death. However, this Yang Gu had come from afar to treat Xu Qiuling's illness out of goodwill. Ning Fan would not kill such a person indiscriminately.
After dispersing all of his aura, Ning Fan cupped his fists towards Yang Gu with a smile. His smile made Yang Gu dumbfounded.
Strange … the infamous Devil Zhou Ming actually smiled and was polite to a stubborn old man like Yang Gu.
"I have a way to cure Qiuling's illness. I can make sure that her Gold Qi will be replenished and her cultivation base will improve greatly. However, the treatment process is a little overbearing and will hurt her mind. I'm afraid that Qiuling's Gold Core won't be able to withstand it … I need some pain-relieving pills. I've long heard that there's a pill recipe on your island called the Heart-Nourishing Pill. It's a Fifth Revolution pill that can nourish a cultivator's mind. I want this pill formula! "
"What?! You want the Heart Nourishing Pill formula! "
Yang Gu was shocked. He was not shocked by Ning Fan's overbearing manner in asking for pill formulas. Instead, he was shocked by the profound meaning behind Ning Fan's words.
Ning Fan's tone made it seem as if saving Xu Qiuling would be a piece of cake.
Ning Fan's tone made it seem as if refining the Heart-Nourishing Pill was a piece of cake.
Yang Gu's heart shuddered. Could it be that this Great Devil Zhou Ming is not only a murderous devil but also a grandmaster in the Dao of Pill Refinement? Is he a Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Master?
However, even a Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Master would not be able to cure Xu Qiuling. Yang Gu carefully scrutinized Ning Fan. When he saw that Ning Fan's bone age was less than four hundred years old, he immediately shook his head.
Young! Ning Fan is too young!
Attaining the Divine Transformation Realm before reaching four hundred years old means that he has a heaven-defying aptitude!
However, it was impossible for him to attain the Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm at the age of four hundred years old unless he was a genius of the Dao of Pill Refinement in the Upper World who had been nurtured since young.
As for Ning Fan, all the rumors about him indicated that he did not have any background. He was just a rogue cultivator. It was already heaven-defying for a rogue cultivator to attain the Divine Transformation Realm at the age of four hundred years old to attain the Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, medical skills aren't child's play!"
Yang Gu was displeased. From his point of view, Ning Fan and Wang Wei were the same kind of people. Both of them were young and full of vigor. Just because they knew a little about pill refinement, they thought that their medical skills were extraordinary. This kind of mentality was unacceptable!
"I agree with Fellow Daoist Yang's words. Medical skills aren't child's play. A slight misdiagnosis could lead to the death of a patient. As a teacher, we must not mislead our students. As a doctor, we must not lose our conscience … "
Ning Fan did not argue with Yang Gu. He just nodded at Dong Xu, Xu Rushan, Yan Zhongze and Yu Long. Then, he slowly walked towards the lady whom he had not seen for many years.
"I'm back."
It was a very simple sentence. However, when Xu Qiuling heard it, it made her heart ache even more.
"It's good that you're back … Ah!"
She suddenly let out a cry and covered her mouth with her white hand. However, her other wrist was held by Ning Fan's hand.
"W-What are you doing?! There are so many people here … "Xu Qiuling's sickly face turned slightly red. It was filled with embarrassment and anger.
Since when did I allow Ning Fan to touch my wrist …?
"Nothing much. I'm just feeling my pulse … Medicine Soul, appear!"
Ning Fan withdrew all of his baleful qi. His expression was solemn and his eyes glowed with traces of green light. His entire body was enveloped by a layer of green qi.
All of a sudden, his aura changed drastically. Just a moment ago, he was still a ferocious devil filled with killing intent. In the next moment, he was already a pill refinement grandmaster who was brimming with medicine qi!
"Medicine Soul!"
Xu Qiuling's beautiful eyes sparkled while Xu Rushan, Yan Zhongze and the others were stunned.
It was self-evident what a medicine soul meant!
Those who possess a medicine soul must be Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Masters!
Ning Fan was using his medicine soul to feel Xu Qiuling's pulse!
* Hiss *
Yang Gu sucked in a breath of cold air.
He never thought that a person who was not even four hundred years old could attain the Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm. However, Ning Fan, who was standing in front of him, did it!
Previously, he looked down on Ning Fan. He hated him for boasting and looking down on pill refinement techniques. Now that he thought about it, he realized that Ning Fan was not looking down on pill refinement techniques. It was obvious that his pill refinement techniques were profound and he was full of confidence in treating Xu Qiuling!
"B-Fellow Daoist Zhou, you're actually a Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Master! Please forgive this old man for not recognizing you earlier. If I have offended you with my words, please forgive me! "
Yang Gu cupped his fists. He would not be subdued by power. However, in front of a grandmaster whose pill refinement techniques were better than his, he was willing to lower his head and bow to him!
Yang Gu was still a step away from attaining the Fifth Revolution Realm. However, Ning Fan was already at the Fifth Revolution and his pill refinement mastery was even higher than Yang Gu's!
Yang Gu's expression was filled with admiration. The way he looked at Ning Fan was like how he was looking at a senior in the Dao of Pill!
A Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Master who was not even four hundred years old … Even if he was a Venerated Pill, he would only be at the Fourth Revolution when he was four hundred years old. This undoubtedly showed that Ning Fan's innate talent in the Dao of Pill was much better than Venerated Pill. It was highly possible for him to break through to the Sixth or Seventh Revolution in his lifetime!
"Hehe. Fellow Daoist Yang is just stating facts. How am I offending you? Besides, Fellow Daoist Yang has come all the way from the Internal Endless Sea to treat Qiuling's illness. I appreciate your kind intentions. If Fellow Daoist Yang is willing to give me the pill formula of the Heart Nourishing Pill, I will exchange it with the heart chant to condense my medicine soul. "
Ning Fan's tone was calm but Yang Gu's eyes immediately burned with passion.
Given Yang Gu's temperament, it was rare for him to show such a gaze. However, Ning Fan's words made him unable to remain calm.
"The heart chant to condense your medicine soul! Fellow Daoist Zhou, do you really want to exchange this item for the Heart Nourishing Pill formula?! "
Yang Gu found it a little hard to believe.
To ordinary Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Masters, condensing their medicine soul was just like crossing a river by groping for the stones. How could there be any heart chant? If there was a heart chant, wouldn't everyone have the chance to break through to the Fifth Revolution?
To some Pill Refinement Clans that had existed for millions of years, they might have inherited the heart chant to condense their medicine soul. However, all of these heart chants were the secrets of their clans. None of them would be taught to outsiders.
Even the nine Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Masters of the Pill Island and the Venerated Pill Refinement Masters of the Pill Dao did not have the heart chant to condense their medicine soul.
Ning Fan actually had it!
Could it be that this Ning Fan is a talented disciple of some Pill Refinement Clan?
The pill formula of the Heart Nourishing Pill might be precious but the heart chant to condense a medicine soul could not be measured by the word 'precious' …
The rule of the Pill Dao was that pill formulas were not allowed to be taught to outsiders. However, who said that the established rules could not be broken? If any old monster in the Pill Dao were to make a deal with Ning Fan here, they would be extremely happy to exchange a pill formula for the soul condensation secret!
Yang Gu did not hesitate at all. He immediately took out a green pill formula and flicked it to Ning Fan, as if he was afraid that Ning Fan would go back on his words.
Ning Fan could not help but chuckle and shake his head. He scanned the pill formula with his spirit sense and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it. Then, he took out a jade slip and briefly imprinted the heart chant to condense a medicine soul on it.
This heart chant originated from the pill refinement technique that Xi Ran taught him. It was the secret technique of the Profound Medicine Clan.
Of course, it was impossible for Ning Fan to give Yang Gu the complete heart chant. What he gave him was just one-tenth of the heart chant. It was only the rough method to condense a soul. In that case, even if this technique is leaked to the public, it would not expose the secret technique of the Profound Medicine Clan.
In Ning Fan's eyes, one-tenth of the incomplete heart chant was not worth mentioning.
However, in Yang Gu's eyes, this one-tenth of the heart chant was nearly more precious than his old life!
"T-This is actually the heart chant to condense a medicine soul! Even though the heart chant is incomplete, it is undoubtedly thousands of times more brilliant than pill refinement cultivators like us who only know how to make a breakthrough. With this technique, my Pill Island will certainly produce a few more Fifth Revolution Pill Masters within a thousand years! Moreover, it won't take me too long to break through to the Fifth Revolution! "
Yang Gu swallowed his saliva and stared at Ning Fan. He felt that the latter was becoming more and more unfathomable.
Originally, Yang Gu was certain that Xu Qiuling was incurable and that she would die within ten years. He did not believe that Ning Fan could save her.
At this moment, he had great confidence in Ning Fan. He faintly felt that Ning Fan had the ability to save this lady!
"I want to stay on the Pleasure Devil Island for a while longer to see how Fellow Daoist Zhou concoct the Heart Nourishing Pill and treat Miss Xu's illness. Is that possible?"
"Of course. However, if that's the case, aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the Alliance of Ming Assassins? "Ning Fan asked with a smile. Of course, he was willing to use some benefits to rope him in.
"Alliance of Ming Assassins? Humph! Why should I be afraid of them?! I am a Half-Step Fifth Revolution Pill Master after all. As long as I raise my arm and call for help, there will be at least six to seven Divine Transformation Realm cultivators in the internal sea willing to protect me. As for Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are a true Fifth Revolution Pill Master. Judging from your medicine soul, you are not far from breaking through to the Mid Fifth Revolution. With your pill refinement mastery, it won't be difficult for you to summon ten Divine Transformation Realm cultivators just by raising your arm and calling for help! What's the Alliance of Ming Assassins?! "
Yang Gu did not put the Alliance of Ming Assassins in his eyes at all.
An assassin organization that has a Divine Transformation Realm old ancestor? Such words were only meant to scare the Nascent Soul Realm juniors. To a high-grade pill refinement master who had a good relationship with others, the Alliance of Ming Assassins was nothing.
"If the Alliance of Ming Assassins dares to attack Fellow Daoist Zhou, I am willing to help you and fight together!"
Yang Gu said straightforwardly.
Ning Fan had given him such a great benefit. Of course, he knew how to repay his kindness.
Xu Yan and Yang Gu were stunned by what they saw.
Who was Yang Gu? He was a pill refinement master that even ordinary Divine Transformation Realm cultivators had to treat with respect!
A pill refinement master of this level was actually convinced by Ning Fan with just a few words. Moreover, Yang Gu was even willing to help Ning Fan fight against the Alliance of Ming Assassins.
Twenty years ago, Ning Fan could only let Xu Yan and Yang Gu treat him as their peers.
Twenty years later, Ning Fan could make those whom Xu Yan and Yang Gu did not dare to offend bow their heads to him!
Xu Qiuling's eyes lit up. The man whom she fancied was indeed extraordinary.
"I have always believed that if you return, you will certainly be able to cure me … I have been waiting for you." Xu Qiuling unconsciously revealed her affection.
"Don't worry. I am here!"
Ning Fan's eyes were filled with confidence. He would certainly cure Xu Qiuling!
…
On the Sword Island of the Internal Endless Sea.
A one-armed middle-aged man who carried a heavy black iron sword descended on the island like a ray of sword light.
The moment it landed, the Sword Island's Grand Formation – Mortal Void Grade Grand Formation collapsed in an instant!
The fourteen million ancient swords buried in the island all let out trembling sounds of fear.
Countless experts on the island soared into the sky. They stared at the white-robed middle-aged man in disbelief.
Even Venerated Sword who had a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivation base felt like his sword intent was going to collapse under the gaze of that white-robed middle-aged man!
This man's Sword Dao cultivation base is really strong!
"I want the broken Immortal Trapping Sword." The white-robed middle-aged man's expression was full of vicissitudes. His face was full of stubble and his eyes were empty. His long hair was loose and half of it had already turned white.
He did not seem to like talking much. He only uttered a sentence indifferently to state his purpose of coming. However, what he said immediately aroused the anger of countless experts on the island.
"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you break the grand formation of my Sword Island and seize my island's treasure, the broken Immortal Trapping Sword?! Don't you know about the agreement between Thunder Sovereign Bu Zhou and the Rain Palace?! Are you trying to anger Lord Thunder Sovereign?! "
However, before the group of experts of the island could finish speaking, Venerated Sword suddenly waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice, stopping everyone from speaking.
"Shut up!"
No one on the island dared to make any noise after he said shut up. It was enough to show Venerated Sword's prestige.
"Someone, bring the broken Immortal Trapping Sword and give it to this senior!" Venerated Sword sighed helplessly.
"What?! That's the supreme treasure of our island! If we lose it, the density of the sword spiritual qi on the island will decrease by at least sixty percent. The cultivation speed of all the disciples on the island will be greatly reduced! "
Many elders objected. However, all of them were silenced by Venerated Sword's next sentence!
"This person is the White-robed Sword God, Yun Tianjue!"
Venerated Sword sighed and did not explain further. He only reported the name of the white-robed swordsman.
But when the name was announced, everyone on the island revealed an incomparably terrified expression.
White-robed Sword God … Yun Tianjue!
"We understand … Lord Venerated Sword, we will go get the broken Immortal Trapping Sword now …" None of the elders said anything else.
There were some people who didn't need to explain anything to you if they wanted something. They could just come to your sect and report their name and you wouldn't dare to disobey them …
The Old Devil was once that kind of expert. This white-robed swordsman was also that kind of expert!
Not long after, a few elders of Sword Island brought a broken sword wrapped in a blue cloth and handed it to the white-robed swordsman.
The white-robed swordsman received the sword. He did not open the cloth and only took a casual glance at it. Immediately, he frowned.
"A piece of the sword blade is missing."
He didn't like to talk much. This sentence was naturally to ask for the missing sword blade from Sword Island.
"Reporting to senior … This missing piece of the sword blade was taken by a friend of mine to help his disciple suppress the golden qi in his lifeline …"
Whoosh!
Before Venerated Sword could finish speaking, the white-robed swordsman's sword flashed and disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Even with Venerated Sword's cultivation, he couldn't see the speed clearly.
"He is Yun Tianjue … The Sword Devil who 'forgets his heart and forgets his emotions' …" Venerated Sword swallowed his saliva.
If this white-robed swordsman was angered, he could flatten the entire Sword Island with a single sword strike!
