In the middle of the night, Ning Fan stood in the guest house of the Dragon Determining Valley. Of course, there was a guest house. Even though Elder Chu lived alone in the thatched cottage, the guest house of the Dragon Determining Valley was meticulously prepared.
The Dragon Determining Valley was the number one sect in the Snow Country. There were one million members in the sect. Naturally, most of them were in the Snow Country outside the valley. Only a few mute servants were left in the guest house.
"'Dragon Determining Valley Lord' Chu Chang An … Chu Chang An is a loner. He has a bad temper towards everyone but he is straightforward. If I have enough strength, I can make friends with him. 'Prince Hong Yun' Yun Jinghong. This person is narrow-minded and his methods are vicious. He wanted to kill me just because he heard my name. This person must be extremely conceited. Among the Void Fragmentation Realm experts of the Rain Palace, only the Sixth Heavenly Layer Divine Emperor Realm experts can obtain the title. However, he called himself 'Hong Yun'. I suppose he is determined to break through to the Sixth Heavenly Layer and become a Divine Emperor Realm expert … "
In the snowy night, Ning Fan stood outside the building and muttered to himself. He was analyzing the two Void Fragmentation Realm experts that he met during the day.
Even though he was still confused when Yun Tianjue brought him here, he still needed to understand the other party's temperament. Knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy would allow one to deal with things with ease.
There were still some things that he did not understand. For example, what was the use of the dragon blood?
Ning Fan patted his storage pouch and took out three jade pots. Each of them contained the so-called dragon blood.
After scanning the contents of the jade pots with his spirit sense, Ning Fan's frown deepened. This dragon blood was called blood but it was not.
If Ning Fan refined these three pots of dragon blood, he could increase his magic power by at least five thousand units. If it is mixed with pills …
If he uses the blood to refine pills, it would increase his magic power by at least ten thousand units.
If it is brewed into wine like what Yun Tianjue did … it might increase his magic power by more than fifteen thousand units.
"This dragon blood might be the legendary medicinal blood … It is used to raise demon beasts and extract their blood to nourish their blood using special methods. The demon blood raised by cultivators will naturally not be refined directly. It must be used to make medicine or wine. That is why it is called medicinal blood. This dragon blood is probably an extremely high-grade medicinal blood. If Senior Yun Tianjue didn't bring me here, I definitely wouldn't have known that I would be promoted to a revered elder and obtain medicinal blood.
"If I can borrow Senior Yun Tianjue's Blood Gourd and use it to brew wine, how wonderful would that be? But Senior Yun Tianjue???????????????????????? It wasn't of a high grade, but it had a wonderful effect. I'm sure Senior Yun won't lend me the blood gourd. "
"According to Senior Yun's words, I will head to the Blood Dragon Pool tomorrow. I believe that is the place where the blood is nurtured. It seems that this place is rather dangerous, but have I not encountered enough dangers along the way? "
Ning Fan took a deep breath and his eyes gradually calmed down. Then, he recalled some of the secret news that he had heard during the day.
Sinful imprint, crippled arm, for a woman … indifference, cruelty, brother-killing, ingratitude …
As Ning Fan described Yun Tianjue, he seemed to have a better understanding of him.
In Ning Fan's opinion, the reason why Yun Tianjue killed him was because of a woman. To be able to anger the cold and emotionless Yun Tianjue, that woman was definitely very important to him. Perhaps the Fourth Prince had injured that woman, and that was why he had died …
Ning Fan definitely did not like to pry into other people's privacy. However, he had a good impression of this Yun Tianjue and was slightly concerned about him.
Thinking about it again, that Yun Jinghong had claimed that Yun Tianjue had forsaken his emotions to cultivate the sword, forgetting everything, even his beloved daughter. In that case, it was not surprising that he had forgotten about a passerby, Ning Qian.
"Ning Qian …" Ning Fan's eyes suddenly showed some self-reproach.
He was not looking for Ning Qian because he missed her. He did not have a mother since he was young. He did not miss his mother whom he had never met.
He just felt a little ashamed and worried.
He was ashamed because as a son, he could not even predict his mother's life and death. He was truly a son in vain.
He was worried because Ning Qian's birth destiny was concealed by someone. Ning Fan found it hard to imagine what kind of expert could conceal a cultivator's birth destiny. Could it be that Ning Qian was also tricked by a True Immortal?
"In my memory, my surname is Yun. The divination of the Dong Xu Realm also showed that I need to look for Yun Tianjue in order to find Ning Qian. From this, it can be inferred that my father is also a member of the Rain Palace … My mother and my birth destiny have both been affected. Perhaps it is not a coincidence. Could it be that my parents have offended someone which resulted in this disaster? Perhaps there are also enemies in the Rain Palace. In the future, I can't look for Ning Qian openly. "
Ning Fan was silent. After some deliberation, he decided not to mention Ning Qian's name to anyone.
Yun Tianjue had already asked her but to no avail. If there is a chance in the future, I will ask Yun Ruowei. Other than these two people, Ning Fan would not mention Ning Qian's name to a third person.
"Hehe. Isn't this Revered Ming? I didn't expect that the Revered Devil who has killed countless people would also have the interest to enjoy the snow. How ridiculous."
A few mocking voices sounded from the wind and snow. Gradually, four figures walked out from the snow.
The four of them looked at Ning Fan with disdain. They were none other than the four Divine Transformation Realm experts he saw during the day.
All four of them had white beards and white hair. Their bone ages were already more than three thousand years old. All of them were at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm.
"Who are you?!" Ning Fan's eyes turned cold.
"The 'Revered Five Elements' of the Vermilion Heaven Palace!" The four of them answered with cold smiles.
"Revered Five Elements …"
Ning Fan's eyes turned slightly serious. After he became a revered elder, he deliberately gathered a lot of information about the Rain Palace.
He joined the Great Heaven Palace and his subordinate was Yun Tianjue, a Void Fragmentation Realm expert.
As for Revered Flame, he was a revered elder of the Scarlet Heaven Palace and his subordinate was Yun Jinghong.
In the Scarlet Heaven Palace, Revered Flame was the fire cultivator with the highest potential. Naturally, he was highly valued by the Rain Palace.
The five strongest revered elders of the Scarlet Heaven Palace were the Revered Five Elements Elders. Revered Flame was the one with the lowest bone age. However, he had a cultivation base at the Peak Divine Transformation Realm and his combat power was extremely high. The four people in front of Ning Fan were the other four revered elders.
Revered Gold, Revered Wood, Revered Earth and Revered Water.
In the Endless Sea, a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert would be the supreme being of the internal sea. However, in the Rain Palace, a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert would only be a high-level revered elder.
When he thought of that, Ning Fan's eyes turned slightly gloomy. Could it be that the four of them came here in the middle of the night because of Revered Flame?
"You are Zhou Ming? Inextinguishable Fire Body, what a great name. Only Yun Yan would be cursed to death by you. I have to say, you've done a good deed. Now that you've killed Yun Yan, the four of us will rise in status in the Scarlet Heaven Palace. "
"…"
Ning Fan glanced at the four of them from the corner of his eyes. He had overestimated them.
Indeed, the four of them seemed to be here to cause him trouble. However, their purpose was not to seek revenge for Revered Flame.
"Hand over the three pots of dragon blood. Otherwise … Humph!"
Revered Gold took a step forward. With a twist of his left hand, a ray of golden light was shot towards Ning Fan. His speed was not any slower than Ning Fan's.
That ray of golden light was clearly the light of the heavenly dwelling. It seemed like he wanted to take Ning Fan into the treasure of the heavenly dwelling and bully him.
Ning Fan's eyes turned gloomy. He did not dodge and allowed Revered Gold to take him away.
In a heavenly dwelling that was filled with rolling thunder, Ning Fan stood upright without any fear. He was surrounded by four revered elders. Each of them had a cold smile on their faces.
Jin Zun, in particular, was holding a golden ring in his hand. He seemed to be very proud of himself. It seemed like this heavenly dwelling was created by that golden ring.
"Zhou Ming! Hand over the three pots of dragon blood and we will only shatter your primordial spirit. We won't kill you! "Revered Gold said, not allowing Ning Fan to refuse.
"Shatter my primordial spirit? You think you can do that?! "
Ning Fan closed his eyes. His expression turned even colder.
It turned out that even if he came to the Rain Palace, he would still be bullied without strength and background.
With his current strength, he could come and go as he pleased in this heavenly dwelling.
Since he purposely entered this heavenly dwelling, he did not have a kind heart.
When the four revered elders saw that Ning Fan did not know what was good for him, their eyes were filled with anger. At the same time, they made hand seals and attacked.
"Earth Primordial Sword!"
"Lightning Dao Whip!"
"Minor Ice Abyss Technique!"
"Wind Death Technique!"
The techniques that the four of them displayed were all Peak Divine Transformation Realm techniques!
"Zhou Ming, you can break Yun Yan's flames with your Indestructible Fire Body but you can't break our techniques!" Revered Gold said with disdain.
"Is that so … Earth Collapse! Lightning Destruction! Ice Shatter! Wind Scatter! "
Ning Fan clawed at the air. Five ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall black dragon tombstones suddenly appeared in the sky. Clearly, he was displaying the Five Tombstones of Dragons!
With the help of Fu Li's blood and vast magic power, the power of this technique was not any weaker than a Half-Step Void Technique!
The Five Tombstones could bury five dragons. It could break the five elements and seal a cultivator's incarnation and primordial spirit!
This technique could even break Ximen Ye's Five Elements Devil Sound. It was easy for it to break four Peak Divine Transformation Realm techniques!
* Boom *
As the five tombstones fell, the techniques of the four revered beings were forcibly broken. Waves of magic power spread out in all directions.
The four revered beings' faces were filled with astonishment. They recognized that the technique that Ning Fan displayed was actually the secret technique of the Black Dragon Clan!
The black dragon did not belong to the five elements. The Five Tombstones could break the five elements in the world. However, this technique had long been lost. Why did Ning Fan have this technique?
From the four revered beings' point of view, even if Ning Fan accidentally obtained this technique, he was neither a demon nor a demon cultivator with the ancestral blood of the black dragon. How could he display this technique?
They could not figure it out!
However, this technique was clearly capable of restraining all five elements in the world. Unless the opponent's cultivation level was higher than this technique, all five elements magic techniques would be completely restrained.
* Boom *
When the five tombstones fell, the four revered beings felt like they were being crushed by a mountain. They could not move at all. They coughed out mouthfuls of blood and tried their best to break the tombstones. However, their hearts were filled with astonishment.
The four Half-Step Void Refinement Realm experts were actually severely injured by Ning Fan in a single move … Other than Void Refinement Realm old monsters, who else could injure four Half-Step Void Refinement Realm experts in a single move?!
This Ning Fan's strength is somewhat terrifying. He's just a Peak Divine Transformation Realm expert. Could it be that his combat power is already comparable to a Void Refinement Realm expert?
"This is bad! We need to leave this heavenly dwelling quickly. We are no match for him. We will be killed by him here! "The four of them were terrified. If Ning Fan smashed the tombstones again, the four of them could not guarantee their survival!
"Don't you think it's a little too late to leave?"
A pair of purple wings suddenly appeared on Ning Fan's back. When he flapped them, he disappeared without a trace. At the next moment, a drop of thick ink spread out in front of the four revered beings, drawing them into the thick ink.
Black Torrent Spirit Splitting Technique!
Ning Fan's spirit sense was already at the Void Refinement Realm. Naturally, his incarnation's strength also rose to the same level. The power of this Black Torrent Spirit Splitting Technique also increased tremendously. How could Half-Step Void Refinement Realm experts resist it?!
Perhaps it was very difficult to improve one's cultivation level. However, there might be shortcuts to improving one's spirit sense.
Even though Ning Fan's cultivation level had yet to reach the Void Refinement Realm, as long as his spirit sense breaks through, he would also possess Void Refinement Realm combat power!
"What kind of magic technique is this? It's basically a Void Refinement Realm attack! Ahhh! "
As the black sword light swept across, the four of them were instantly crushed into pieces.
When the blood mist dispersed, Ning Fan reformed his physical body. His white robes were untainted by even a speck of dust. In his hands were four storage pouches and four primordial spirits.
Killing others and seizing their treasures? Who wouldn't do that? When it comes to killing others and seizing their treasures, Ning Fan was the expert.
When he scanned the storage pouches of the four of them, he could not help but frown. There were only tens of millions of immortal jades in them.
Ning Fan frowned. It seems like the revered elders of the Rain Palace have an extremely low salary compared to the devil cultivators who went around killing others to earn money.
Even though there were only a few immortal jades, their pills, cultivation methods and magic treasures were all top-notch.
The revered elders of the Rain Palace may not have a high salary but the benefits they received were exceptionally good. It was enough to make one green with envy.
If there's some grey income … it would definitely be faster than earning money in the sea of blood of the devil cultivators.
At the spot where the four of them died, traces of golden light slowly condensed into a Dao Fruit. It seemed to be left behind by a dead Golden Venerate. It fell on Ning Fan's palm.
He had obtained a Dao Fruit after just killing four of them. His luck was getting better and better.
Other than this Dao Fruit, Ning Fan actually had another unexpected gain.
After the blood mist dispersed, a cloud of white cold qi slowly condensed. It was actually a cloud of Heavenly Frost Cold Qi.
This Heavenly Frost Cold Qi was called Divine Frost Soul. It was ranked third among the twelve types of cold qi. It probably belonged to Venerated Water.
It was another unexpected gain.
Seeing Ning Fan casually taking away their storage pouches and supreme treasures, the four primordial spirits were filled with shock, anger and fear.
"Z-Zhou Ming! You can't snatch our treasures. You can't kill us either. Otherwise, Prince Jing Hong will certainly know that you're the one who killed us. With his personality, he definitely won't let you walk out of the Dragon Determining Valley alive! "
"Thank you for your reminder."
Ning Fan sneered. He patted his storage pouch and chanted. "Puppets. Appear!"
All of a sudden, three Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppets appeared in front of him, frightening the four of them.
Three Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppets?!
Ning Fan actually has three Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppets with him. Adding his own combat power, he would be able to handle four Void Refinement Realm experts with ease!
The four of them were just Half-Step Void Refinement Realm experts. Yet, they dared to find trouble with Ning Fan. They were basically courting death.
"W-What do you want …?" The four of them became even more frightened. They were certain that Ning Fan would not dare to kill them but they did not think that Ning Fan would let them go.
"You're right. It's unwise to kill all of you now. After leaving the Dragon Determining Valley, I'll kill all of you. Who would know that I'm the one who killed the four of you?! Soul Search! "
Ning Fan showed no mercy and directly searched their souls. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the four of them became idiots. Ning Fan handed them to the spiritual puppets and sealed them. Once they leave the Dragon Determining Valley, he would let the spiritual puppets devour their primordial spirits.
The four of them were Revered Elder Yu Dian. But so what? Ning Fan never liked being bullied by others. Since the four of them wanted to destroy his primordial spirits, he would kill them. As long as he did it secretly and did not let Yun Jinghong know about it, it would be fine.
As for the tokens that were related to their identities, Ning Fan discarded them in this heavenly dwelling space. A wisp of purple-golden mist rose from the tip of his finger. When he waved it at the sky, it separated the heavenly dwelling space. Then, he took a step forward and returned to the outside world.
His baleful qi did not leak out at all. Obviously, he had already cultivated his baleful qi to an extremely high level.
After a night of indifferently sweeping through the wind and snow, the sky was about to brighten.
Ning Fan turned around, intending to return to his room. All of a sudden, a voice sounded from a place where no one was around.
"Did you kill them?"
This voice appeared without any warning. It clearly showed the scene of Ning Fan and the four of them leaving.
Ning Fan was inwardly shocked. However, when he saw the person who was hiding, he could not help but feel relieved. This person was none other than Yun Tianjue.
Since Yun Tianjue had already guessed that Ning Fan had killed the four of them, Ning Fan would not deny it. Since Yun Tianjue did not get along well with Yun Jinghong, he probably would not blame him for killing Yun Jinghong's juniors.
"I only destroyed their physical bodies. Their primordial spirits are still intact. However, once they leave the Dragon Determining Valley, they will die." Ning Fan admitted.
"Very good. Since they hit you, you should hit them back. Since they wanted to kill you, you should kill them back. You are a member of my Great Heaven Palace. It is not their place to bully you. "
Yun Tianjue's tone was cold and indifferent. However, his words warmed Ning Fan's heart.
He did not expect that the infamous Sword Devil would also protect his own. Ning Fan had only experienced this kind of feeling from Old Devil. Today, he felt it again from Yun Tianjue.
Seeing that Ning Fan was not in danger, Yun Tianjue coldly turned around and intended to leave. However, he was stopped by Ning Fan.
He would certainly obtain a lot of dragon snow during this trip. However, in order to maximize the medicinal effect of the dragon blood, he needed one thing. That was to brew blood into wine.
"Senior, can you lend me your blood gourd for a while?"
As soon as Ning Fan said that, he was stunned.
What happened to him? He actually dared to make a request of Sword Devil.
It was a very strange feeling. He rarely asked for help from others and would never ask for anything from others. However, he said that in an extremely casual manner, as if it was a matter of course.
However, as soon as the words left his mouth, Ning Fan shook his head with a wry smile, regretting his slip of the tongue.
Didn't you see how Yun Jinghong was beaten like a dog when he asked Sword Devil for his blood gourd?
Yun Tianjue halted his steps. His eyes turned gloomy. He hated it the most when people made requests of him.
However, when he saw Ning Fan's wry smile, his eyes gradually softened. After pondering for a while, he understood what Ning Fan wanted.
"You want to brew blood wine?"
"No. This junior made a slip of the tongue. I definitely won't dare to have any thoughts about Senior's blood gourd." Ning Fan shook his head. He did not think that Sword Devil would borrow something from others. It was already rare for him not to rob others.
Yun Tianjue frowned. He was a loner. He would never talk to anyone more than three sentences, let alone share a table and drink wine with anyone.
Anyone who made a request of him or asked for treasures would be sent flying by a single sword strike from him.
Despite Yun Tianjue's indifference, he had a good impression of Ning Fan.
This young man was a little to his liking.
If it wasn't for that, he definitely would not share a drink with Ning Fan, let alone bring a stranger to the Dragon Determining Valley from afar and openly disobey the Rain Sovereign's order to help Ning Fan obtain the dragon blood.
He was not a kind person and he would never nurture his juniors. Ning Fan was the first one.
"Take it!"
Yun Tianjue casually tossed a blood gourd to Ning Fan and disappeared into the wind and snow, leaving behind a cold sentence.
"It takes ten years to brew blood wine. You must return this gourd to me after using it! "
"Uh …" Ning Fan was stunned. The Sword Devil who was rumored to be cold and heartless was actually so easygoing?
Holding the blood gourd, Ning Fan gently shook it. There was at least a lot of blood wine inside, less than seven mouthfuls.
"There's also blood wine inside …" Ning Fan opened his mouth to ask but was interrupted by an impatient voice.
"It's yours!"
In the depths of the wind and snow, Yun Tianjue said impatiently.
"Don't embarrass me in the blood pool tomorrow!"
"Yes."
Ning Fan cupped his fists and bowed. His eyes were filled with gratitude.
Even though Yun Tianjue's reputation was bad, was his reputation good? It was not surprising that there would often be mistakes when judging people based on rumors.
With this blood gourd and the blood wine, I wonder if I can break through to the Void Refinement Realm in one go after ten years.
