Bei Xiaoman was speechless.
She really wanted to find a reason to threaten Ning Fan. She really wanted to take back her Grandpa Stone Warrior and her Yuan Yao Jade. She really wanted to defeat Ning Fan and never see his smug smile again.
When she broke through to the Divine Transformation Realm, she once thought that she could defeat Ning Fan and teach him a good lesson.
However, the truth was that Ning Fan's strength had become much stronger than her after twenty years.
When they first met, she was at the Half-Step Divine Transformation Realm while Ning Fan was just a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator. She did not put him in her eyes at all.
After he formed his Nascent Soul, he defeated her by relying on his Yin Yang Transformation and Bei Xiaoman's bad temper. She was very unhappy about it.
Her Grandpa Stone Warrior was taken away and her token of love, the Yuan Yao Jade, was taken away. Bei Xiaoman once thought that she must hate Ning Fan to the core.
However, when she ascended to the Divine Transformation Realm and ascended to the Sea of Clouds, she could not help but praise Ning Fan when she saw her elder sister and mother being praised by other geniuses.
She thought that she hated Ning Fan to the core and wished that he would be killed by Revered Flame.
However, when Ning Fan was really in danger, she felt very nervous and wanted to help him for some reason.
Why is it like this? Bei Xiaoman had never thought about it. However, when she saw Ning Fan's proud smile, her mind went blank and her heart skipped a beat …
This smile is really beautiful.
However, why does the owner of this smile always bully me …
Why would the owner of this smile rather help a stranger kill someone than treat me well?
Bei Xiaoman's expression turned gloomy. Her heart felt a little sour.
"Please return Grandpa Stone Warrior to me … Otherwise … I will never forgive you … Never!"
As soon as he said that, Bei Xiaoman was stunned. What right did she have to not forgive Ning Fan? Who was she to him?
Ning Fan was also stunned. He initially thought that Bei Xiaoman would threaten him to kill him. He never thought that the way she threatened him was to not forgive him.
He sighed inwardly. Ning Fan did not have any desire to bully such a Bei Xiaoman.
He patted his storage pouch and took out a stone puppet. He blew on it and it immediately grew bigger, turning into Stone Warrior whom he had not seen for a long time.
"I have promised Stone Warrior that I will let him return to the Lost World Palace one day. Today, I will return him to him!"
Thump!
Bei Xiaoman felt as if a pebble had been thrown into the lake of her heart, ripples started to form in her heart.
When she said that she would not forgive Ning Fan, it was just an inexplicable statement. She never expected that her words would be able to move Ning Fan.
She also did not think that the current Ning Fan who was one of the eight venerated beings of the internal sea, a revered elder of the Rain Palace and someone who had connections with both the underworld and the underworld would care about whether she would forgive him or not.
However, Ning Fan returned the Stone Warrior to her with just a few words. This … This is just too unreasonable!
"This isn't a dream, right?" Bei Xiaoman's face turned red, and she did not know what to do.
"Pinch me and you'll know …" Ning Fan casually pinched Bei Xiaoman's face and the corners of his lips curled upwards. "Does it hurt? If it hurts, then it's not a dream. "
"It hurts! Zhou Ming, you've gone too far! You, you, you, you! "
Bei Xiaoman was infuriated once again. The good impression she had towards Ning Fan just now immediately vanished into thin air. She stomped her feet angrily and ran out of the southern tower while covering her small face which had turned red from Ning Fan's pinch.
Inside the southern tower, there were only Lu Qing, Shi Bing, and Ya Lan.
Everyone including Shi Bing was speechless … Ning Fan really dared to pinch her. That's the Fourth Mistress of the Northern Sky …
Looking at Bei Xiaoman's back which was as if she was running away, Ning Fan's eyes darkened. He suddenly realized that bullying this little girl was really fun.
"Big Brother Zhou, thank you. If it wasn't for you, Ya Lan would have already …" Ya Lan's words broke the silence.
"You're welcome. It's just a small matter. After not seeing you for twenty years, Miss Ya Lan has already broken through to the Gold Core Realm. Your aptitude is really extraordinary."
After hearing Ning Fan's compliment, Ya Lan's face turned red. The reason why she could break through to the Gold Core Realm within twenty years was naturally because of the power of the Lost World Tower. Even so, it was enough to show that her aptitude was extraordinary.
It was not that there were no people who praised her. In fact, there were a lot of people who praised her. There were also quite a number of people who pursued her. However, those praises never made her smile a little.
Ning Fan's compliment, on the other hand, made her very happy. She felt that her twenty years of hard cultivation was not in vain.
"Miss Ya Lan doesn't look too good …"
Ning Fan's gaze swept across Ya Lan's face. The latter's face was slightly pale as if she was hurt by Gu Zhen's finger attack. There was a bloodstain on her face which was caused by a broken porcelain cup.
He wrapped his fingertip with a trace of Black Star Force and wiped it across Ya Lan's face. In an instant, the wound on her face was healed without leaving a scar.
"Here are some pills and Dao Fruits. They are enough to help you stabilize your Gold Core Realm cultivation base and even help you break through to the Mid or Late Gold Core Realm. With your aptitude, it shouldn't be difficult for you to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in this lifetime. You might even have a chance to attain the Divine Transformation Realm. The elders in your clan are really short-sighted. I believe they will regret giving you to Gu Zhen when you attain the Divine Transformation Realm thousands of years later. "
Ning Fan praised her generously and passed a storage pouch to Ya Lan.
After being praised by Ning Fan again, Ya Lan felt both shy and happy. She scanned the storage pouch with her spirit sense and her face was filled with astonishment.
"There are so many pills and there are even Gold Core Realm Dao Fruits! These are too precious. Ya Lan can't accept them! "
"Just accept them."
Ning Fan waved his hand. A few bottles of Third Revolution Pills and a few Gold Core Realm Dao Fruits were really nothing to Ning Fan who had nearly one hundred thousand Gold Core Realm Dao Fruits.
"Big Brother Zhou, Ya Lan can't repay such a heavy gift …"
"It's alright. Take the pills and rest first. Don't leave any hidden injuries. I still have some things to discuss with Fellow Daoist Lu Qing and Fellow Daoist Stone Warrior. "
"Mm." Ya Lan nodded her head obediently. She knew Old Ancestor Lu Qing. He was the Divine Transformation Realm expert who was in charge of the Lost World Palace. She did not know Old Ancestor Stone Warrior but she had heard some rumors about him.
These Divine Transformation Realm old ancestors were existences that she could not touch with with her current status. However, because of Ning Fan, she could stand together with them.
This feeling was really like a dream.
Ya Lan returned to her residence to rest. However, she kept thinking about Ning Fan's words. She had never believed that she had any hope of attaining the Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation Realm. However, Ning Fan had praised her aptitude and she suddenly had confidence in herself.
Yes, I must work hard. If I break through to the Divine Transformation Realm one day and recommend myself to Ning Fan again, I wonder if he would still reject me …
"What am I thinking?!" Ya Lan patted her red face angrily.
…
Without Bei Xiaoman and Ya Lan, the atmosphere in the southern tower became quiet again.
Ning Fan's eyes swept across Lu Qing and Stone Warrior with interest. At this moment, Lu Qing's face was filled with astonishment while Stone Warrior's face was filled with surprise.
While Ning Fan was chatting with Bei Xiaoman and Ya Lan, the two of them also had a brief conversation.
Lu Qing was astonished because he found out that Stone Warrior had not been by his mistress's side for the past twenty years. It was really too scary! He, Lu Qing, had no idea when Stone Warrior had been taken away!
Stone Warrior was astonished because he found out that Ning Fan had killed Revered Flame and obtained the title of Revered Elder. Every time Ning Fan showed his face, he would give him a greater surprise. Stone Warrior suddenly realized that the current Ning Fan was already standing at the peak of the known strength of the Endless Sea!
"Fellow Daoist Shi, I have already sent you back to the Lost World Palace. Don't you have anything to say?" Ning Fan hinted.
"* Cough *. Sorry for my rudeness."
Only then did Stone Warrior return to his senses. After twenty years, he was finally released by Ning Fan.
He knew that what Ning Fan wanted to hear from him was not gratitude but a promise.
Stone Warrior had been by Ning Fan's side for too long. He knew a lot of secrets, especially the Heaven Fixing Mourning Technique. If that technique were to be leaked, countless True Immortals in the Four Heavens Immortal Worlds would hunt Ning Fan down.
"I'm willing to swear to Revered Ming that I will never tell anyone about what happened in the past twenty years. If I break this oath …"
Before Stone Warrior could finish his words, Ning Fan interrupted him.
"Enough. You don't have to swear to your death. You don't care about death at all. I believe you! "
After twenty years of living together, Ning Fan had a deep understanding of Stone Warrior. He was a man who was not afraid of death. He would not speak carelessly. If he said that he would not leak the secret, he would rather die than do so.
"Protect Bei Xiaoman carefully in the future. Don't let her cause any more trouble. Now that I have a close relationship with the Lost World Palace, I should at least protect Bei Xiaoman for them." Ning Fan's eyes were filled with reminiscence as he thought of a woman who had acted preposterously several times.
"Her?" Stone Warrior naturally did not know who the woman Ning Fan mentioned was.
Ignoring Stone Warrior's doubt, Ning Fan turned to Lu Qing and said.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, I need a lot of spiritual herbs that can nourish one's primordial spirit during my trip to the Lost World Palace. I wonder if I can have some?"
"What?! Fellow Daoist Zhou's primordial spirit is injured?! "Both Lu Qing and Stone Warrior were shocked. Could it be that Ning Fan annihilated Revered Flame with serious injuries? How could he be so strong?
"Mm. I have some injuries. Can I have some medicinal herbs?" Ning Fan did not expose Luo You's existence.
"Of course! Fellow Daoist is the tower lord of the Lost World Palace, the East, the West and the North Towers. Of course, you can take the medicinal herbs. "Lu Qing said straightforwardly. Compared to recruiting Ning Fan for the Lost World Palace, a mere spiritual herb was nothing.
"Oh? Fellow Daoist sure is straightforward. This time, I came to the Lost World Palace because I want to enter the Lost World Tower to cultivate … May I know what the fee is if I want to enter the seventh floor of the tower? "
"The seventh floor?" Lu Qing was stunned. He then explained. "With Fellow Daoist's Divine Transformation Realm strength, you can only enter the fifth floor at most. Even though the Lost World Palace treats pill refinement masters generously, we can only help Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Masters who have yet to reach the Divine Transformation Realm to enter the fifth floor. The higher floors have strict restrictions on one's cultivation base … "
"I understand." Ning Fan did not insist on entering the seventh floor. This time, he only wanted to achieve the Divine Transformation Realm with his magic power. With the experience of achieving the Divine Transformation Realm twice, it would be a piece of cake for him to achieve the Divine Transformation Realm for the third time and it would not take him too long. The time flow on the fifth floor was one thirty-two times faster than the outside world while the seventh floor was one twenty-eight times faster than the outside world.
The fifth floor and the seventh floor would only take him a year and a half. There was not much difference between them.
"By the way, before my mistress left in anger, she told me that if Fellow Daoist Zhou wants to cultivate in the Lost World Tower, you don't have to pay for it. Everything will be recorded in her account."
"Oh? Bei Xiaoman treats me so well but she doesn't have to pay for it? "Ning Fan was surprised.
"Mm. My mistress asked me to tell you … * Cough * What I'm about to say is her original words. It's not my intention …"
Lu Qing smiled awkwardly and imitated Bei Xiaoman's tone. "Stinky Zhou! Don't worry! You don't have to pay to cultivate in the Lost World Tower. You can just treat it as my mistress! "
"Haha!"
Ning Fan shook his head and laughed. This Bei Xiaoman actually wants to keep me as her mistress …
"Fellow Daoist, please don't be angry. My mistress just said those words out of anger …"
"Angry? Why should I be angry? Becoming Bei Xiaoman's mistress? Very good. Then, I can take whatever I want from the Lost World Palace, right? "
The corner of Ning Fan's mouth curled upwards. He did not care about his reputation at all.
Becoming Bei Xiaoman's mistress, huh? Very good. Now, I have an excuse to empty the Lost World Palace's storehouse.
Improving my pill refinement technique requires a large amount of medicinal ingredients. It's too expensive. Mm. I'll burn the Lost World Palace's money first.
A day later, Ning Fan had almost emptied the spiritual herb storage of the four pill towers of the Lost World Palace.
On the second day, Ning Fan officially entered the tower for seclusion.
On the top of the southern tower, Bei Xiaoman was lazily munching on melon seeds while listening to the reports from her maidservants. She felt very proud of herself.
According to the reports from the maidservants, Ning Fan actually did not reject her identity as her mistress.
"Humph! Aren't you, Great Devil Lord Zhou, very proud and arrogant? In the end, you're still my mistress. " Bei Xiaoman let out a soft humph. Her eyes were filled with joy. Now, Ning Fan had become her follower and she could order him around at will.
She did not seem to realize what it meant to be a mistress.
"My lady … Young Master Zhou … He … He has taken away almost all the spiritual herbs above one thousand years old in the four pill towers. Many guest pill refinement masters can't use them even if they want to concoct pills …"
"W-What … What did you say …?"
Bei Xiaoman stopped munching on the melon seeds. She realized that she had suffered a huge loss.
The spiritual herbs in the four pill towers were at least worth billions of immortal jade. Yet, they were all taken away just like that?
Those spiritual herbs were enough to supply hundreds of Third Revolution and tens of Fourth Revolution cultivators to concoct pills!
"Zhou Ming! You're a bully! You're shameless! "
Bei Xiaoman disregarded everything and rushed out of the southern tower. She ran to the center of the silver tower and pointed at it while cursing.
If she knew that Ning Fan was going to take away all the spiritual herbs in her possession, she would not have said anything about being his mistress. Revenge!
She must take revenge on him!
That's right! Didn't I already keep him as my mistress? If that's the case, I will teach him a good lesson on the day he walks out of the Lost World Tower. I will let him know who is the follower and who is the master!
"Speaking of which, what do I need to do after keeping Zhou Ming as my mistress? Do I need him to massage my legs or my shoulders? "
She had yet to realize that she would have to sacrifice her chastity to keep him as her mistress.
…
On the fifth floor of the Lost World Tower, Ning Fan stood between the mountains and the rivers. He was not in a hurry to open up his immortal cave.
He raised his head and looked at the sky thoughtfully.
The Lost World Tower in the lower world was a silver tower. There were only seven floors which corresponded to the seven realms of the cultivation world.
The fifth floor was still fine but the sixth and seventh floors had a strict restriction on one's cultivation base. Only Divine Transformation Realm cultivators could enter.
Each floor had countless independent spaces for people to cultivate in. Currently, Ning Fan was on the fifth floor.
Below the spatial barrier was the fourth floor.
Above the spatial barrier above his head was the sixth floor.
To ordinary cultivators without Void Refinement Realm cultivation base, they would definitely not be able to enter the sixth floor. However, was Ning Fan an ordinary cultivator?
His body swayed and at the next moment, he appeared at the peak of the sky.
A trace of golden-purple mist lingered in the air and brushed against the spatial barrier. Immediately, a sizzling sound was heard and the spatial barrier was eroding at a slow speed.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a gap appeared in the spatial barrier. Ning Fan then leaped into the sixth floor!
The world of the sixth floor was not filled with green mountains and clear waters but … a starry sky!
The place where Ning Fan was standing right now was a star with a radius of one hundred thousand li * (500m per li)!
The power of the void around Ning Fan tilted down, as if it was going to kill him.
At the same time, a trace of void power rose around his body. Ning Fan was a cultivator who had attained the Void Inquiry Stage after all. Thus, he was naturally not afraid of this level of void power.
Sensing that the time in this place was slowed down by sixty-four times, Ning Fan seemed to have understood something.
"No wonder Lu Qing said that one can't enter the sixth and seventh floors unless their cultivation base is strong enough. It turns out that the sixth and seventh floors are fundamentally different from the fifth floor. I wonder if my void power can withstand the void of the seventh floor?! "
Ning Fan's eyes flashed. He stepped on the star and rose into the air. When he reached the peak of the void, he pointed at the mist again and broke a gap, entering the seventh floor.
In the seventh floor, the flow of time was one of 128 times faster than the outside world!
The void power in this place gave Ning Fan an extremely dangerous feeling. Even a Void Refinement Realm cultivator would not be able to withstand it!
Moreover, in this level of void power, teleportation techniques would not be able to cover any distance at all!
Without any hesitation, Ning Fan patted his storage pouch and took out two magic treasures.
One of them was the Eastern Ocean Bell. When this bell was suspended above Ning Fan's head, no void power could harm it.
The other one was the star compass. This compass was given to him by the Black Tortoise Planet's Palm Tablet Immortal Emperor. It was a supreme treasure for cultivators to travel through the void.
From Ning Fan's current point of view, the void was probably also divided into different levels. Divine Transformation Realm cultivators might not necessarily die if they enter the slightly weaker void and Void Refinement Realm cultivators could also travel through it with ease.
However, in places where the void power was stronger, those below the Void Fragmentation Realm would definitely die.
Teleportation techniques could not be used to fly in this place. Only the star compass could do that.
Ning Fan took out the star compass. The palm-sized compass immediately turned into a ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) large silver continent.
Ning Fan leaped onto the continent and made a hand seal. Then, the continent moved through the void at an unbelievable speed.
Its speed was even faster than ordinary Void Refinement Realm cultivators. It was at least a Mid Void Refinement Realm cultivator!
"This star compass is indeed a good item …"
Ning Fan traveled through the void of the seventh floor and found a star that had a radius of one million li * (500m per li) and landed on it.
The uneven ground did not have any signs of life. However, Ning Fan did not mind it at all. The sword qi at the tip of his finger swayed and an underground cave dwelling was opened up beneath his feet.
"Let's cultivate here …"
Ning Fan walked into the underground cave. At the moment when he completely entered the cave dwelling, he suddenly raised his head with a strange expression. The purple star in his left eye flashed and he looked at the sky with a strange expression.
"Why do I feel like there's an eighth floor in this Lost World Tower?"
"Is it an illusion …?"
