It was a bright night.
Ning Fan spent the whole night meditating on the bed. His essence, qi and spirit were all at their peak. He pushed the door open and saw a mute servant waiting for him in the snowstorm. It seemed like he was going to bring him somewhere.
With a sweep of his Divine Perception, he noticed that he was the only one left in the guest house, and Yun Tianjue was nowhere to be found.
Ning Fan thought to himself that Yun Tianjue had probably gone to the Blood Dragon Pool in advance. He did not ask too many questions and followed the mute servant out of the guest house. There was already a Void Refinement Realm bull lying on the ground outside the door.
The beast was 50,000 feet tall, and there was a pavilion on its back. It seemed to be a beast for cultivators to ride on.
There were more than ten young men sitting on the back of the Kui Ox. It was difficult to see their faces through the Mortal Void Grade Sense Isolation Formation.
Ning Fan did not activate his demon eyes to probe the area forcefully. Instead, he leaped onto the back of the demonic beast.
He believed that he would have to rely on this beast to head to the Blood Dragon Pool today.
To be able to have a Void Refinement Realm Bull as his mount, this Dragon Deciding Valley Lord must be really generous.
What astonished Ning Fan even more was the restriction placed inside the body of this Void Refinement Realm Kui Bull.
It wasn't an ordinary Thought Restriction. It was … a Demon Restriction!
Only those who are proficient in demon cultivation techniques can plant the Demon Forbidden Spell … Ning Fan thought to himself. Could it be that the Valley Lord of the Dragon Determining Valley is an expert in the Demon Dao?
Even though it was difficult for humans to cultivate in the Demon Cultivation Realm, it was not impossible. There were quite a number of humans like Ning Fan and the Demon Sealing Sect who cultivated in the Demon Cultivation Realm.
The moment Ning Fan got on its back, the Void Refinement Realm Kui Ox instinctively revealed a look of fear.
Despite being a dignified Void Refinement Realm Kui Niu, he actually felt a wave of fear and panic when he came into close contact with Ning Fan … It was the deterrence that originated from his bloodline!
Only the Kui Niu who had a high level of intelligence could sense it. For ordinary blood beasts, unless Ning Fan emitted his aura force, they would definitely not be able to sense his identity as the Fu Li Demon Ancestor!
Moo —
The Void Refinement Realm Kui Niu who was usually extremely hot-tempered and arrogant to its guests actually let out a respectful cry after Ning Fan got on its back.
In an instant, the faces of the dozen or so cultivators in the pavilion changed.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this Kui Niu was trying to please Ning Fan. But how is this possible … A Void Refinement Realm ferocious beast trying to please a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator?
"You are Venerable Ming?"
A voice that was hard to tell whether it was happy or angry was heard. Then, the Sense Isolation Formation dispersed.
The one who spoke was a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a Mid Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base. As soon as he saw Ning Fan, he immediately rose to his feet and cupped his fists to welcome him.
"You are?" Ning Fan walked into the pavilion and asked.
"Hehe, I am the revered elder of the Serene Heaven Palace, Yu Bai. These are the revered elders of my Serene Heaven Palace … "The middle-aged scholar introduced with a smile.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Yu."
Ning Fan cupped his fists to return the greeting and nodded at each of the Divine Transformation Realm venerated elders.
There were a total of thirteen Divine Transformation Realm cultivators in this place. Five of them were at the Early Divine Transformation Realm, three were at the Mid Divine Transformation Realm, two were at the Late Divine Transformation Realm, two were at the Peak Divine Transformation Realm and one was at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm.
The Serene Heaven Palace was Chu Chang 'an's force, and these revered elders were under Chu Chang' an's command.
It seemed like this group of revered elders were going to enter the Blood Dragon Pool together with Ning Fan to gain experience. That Chu Chang 'an must have paid a great price to activate the Blood Dragon Pool. Not only did he invite the Scarlet Heaven Palace to enter, but he also had the Venerated Elders of the Scarlet Heaven Palace draw their blood to temper themselves.
Although it was a selfish move, the opening of the Blood Dragon Pool this time was an exception. Chu Chang 'an was forced by Yun Tianjue to open it.
According to Chu Chang 'an's personality, if he could not resist, he would accept it calmly and maximize his benefits.
When the group of venerated elders of the Serene Heaven Palace saw that Ning Fan was still calm even when facing the thirteen Divine Transformation Realm experts, most of them secretly admired his bearing.
However, there were also two or three of them who had a strange expression on their faces. They were communicating with each other through telepathy as if they were dissatisfied with Ning Fan.
Ning Fan did not pay attention to these people. The strength that he revealed was at the Peak Divine Transformation Realm. His strongest battle record was that he killed Revered Yan with his Indestructible Fire Body.
Revered Yan was also considered as a first-rate expert in the Scarlet Heaven Palace. Since Ning Fan was able to kill Revered Yan, no one would dare to look down on him.
Last night, the four Revered Elders of the Five Elements had underestimated Ning Fan. The consequence of that was … death!
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please have a seat. Fellow Daoist is really extraordinary. You actually made Kui Niu act so respectfully. Other than Void Fragmentation Realm seniors, this is the first time I've seen someone who has such an aura. "
"You flatter me. Fellow Daoist's bearing is really extraordinary. I'm afraid that the profound cultivation technique of the Confucian Sect is already on the verge of achieving a breakthrough. In just two to three hundred years of hard work, breaking through to the Late Divine Transformation Realm is just a matter of time."
Ning Fan took his seat and said with a smile. However, Yu Bai was extremely surprised.
"Fellow Daoist, you have good eyesight! I have never told anyone about the fact that my profound cultivation technique is on the verge of achieving a breakthrough. Even the revered elders of the same palace do not know about it. However, Fellow Daoist was able to see through it with just a glance. It really surprises me. Indeed, rumors are not trustworthy … "
The rumors that Yu Bai mentioned were naturally Ning Fan's notorious reputation. Some people said that he was lecherous, bloodthirsty and had no conscience … In short, there were not many good rumors about Ning Fan in the Rain Palace. In the impression of the Divine Transformation Realm experts, Ning Fan was just a murderous devil. That was all.
Therefore, when Ning Fan arrived, the few Late Divine Transformation Realm experts, Peak Divine Transformation Realm experts and Half-Step Void Refinement Realm experts did not welcome him in order to avoid embarrassing their status. Only Yu Bai who was a kind person stood up to welcome him to avoid embarrassing the guests.
His notorious reputation was also because there were a few people who did not care about Ning Fan at all.
However, Ning Fan was able to see through the progress of Yu Bai's profound cultivation technique with just a few words. Such sharp eyesight was enough to prove that his Dao Comprehension was profound. He was a first-class cultivator who cultivated painstakingly.
Since he was a cultivator who cultivated painstakingly, his heart would certainly be like a boulder. He would purify his mind and nourish his character. How could he be lecherous and bloodthirsty? Most of the rumors in the outside world were just rumors.
As such, Yu Bai was not the only one who became more enthusiastic. A few revered elders at the Late Stage, Peak Stage and Half-Step Void Refinement Realm also began to come over to chat with Ning Fan.
They could not tell! They could not tell that Ning Fan was a devil lord at all!
His smile was easy-going, his eyes were deep, his aura was graceful and his body was upright, which made people gasp in admiration at first sight.
This was the direct change after the fusion of the three intents. Ning Fan's temperament had undergone a fundamental change.
He put on a black cloak and turned into a devil. He took off his black cloak and hid the devil in his heart. If he did not kill anyone, no one would know about his ferocious nature. The cultivation of the devil path had already reached an extremely high level.
After a round of conversation, everyone was easily convinced by Ning Fan's way of talking.
From their conversations, Ning Fan also learned that this Kui Niu was going to the Blood Dragon Pool.
The place where the Blood Dragon Pool was located was called the Blood River. It was a swamp filled with blood mist and was quite dangerous. There were even many Divine Transformation Realm and Void Refinement Realm ferocious beasts that had yet to be tamed. Only Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters would dare to enter alone. Divine Transformation Realm juniors like Ning Fan could only enter by riding on the Kui Niu.
This Kui Niu was a Void Refinement Realm being after all. With its protection, as long as the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators behaved themselves, they would basically not be in any danger.
"The Blood River, huh …" Ning Fan pondered inwardly while pretending to be polite to the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators.
For some unknown reason, the closer he got to the Blood River and the closer he got to the Dragon Deciding Valley, the more strange he felt.
Especially the Blood Dragon Demon Sword that seemed to be in a deep slumber in his storage pouch. It was trembling gently and emitting a hint of excitement.
Ning Fan was suddenly enlightened. He finally understood what the strange feeling that he had been having since he entered the Dragon Deciding Valley was.
Dragon Deciding Valley … Blood Dragon Pool … Blood River …
Could it be that there is a blood dragon in this place?!
Could the so-called dragon blood be related to the blood dragon?
The corner of Ning Fan's lips curled into a smile. If it is really related to the blood dragon, I wonder if I can get some extra benefits with the Blood Dragon Demon Sword.
After tasting spiritual tea and consuming spiritual fruits, the group of revered elders of the Serene Heaven Palace had a pleasant conversation with Ning Fan. In the past, Ning Fan had to be cautious even when facing an Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivator. Today, however, his cultivation base had already reached such a level. It really made them sigh with admiration.
However, just as the guests and the host were enjoying themselves, a slightly discordant female voice let out a soft snort.
"Humph! Venerated Ming, you have great means. You are famous among the devil sects in the Endless Sea. You are also talking with confidence and composure among the righteous cultivators of my Rain Palace. You really have the upper hand … I wonder if Venerated Ming has heard of this saying before? There are people who like everyone in the world and there are people who hate them. Those who can make people like them are not necessarily good people. Those who can make people hate them are also not necessarily evil people. However, those who can make both good and evil people like them must be … cunning people! "
The person who spoke was a young lady with delicate and pretty features. Her hair was tied into a ponytail. She was not wearing any pink embroidery. Instead, she was wearing silver armor which made her look like a female general. However, she had a petite figure which could not hide her beauty.
The young lady had an Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base and it seemed like she had just broken through to the Early Divine Transformation Realm not long ago. Her elegant brows which carried a hint of heroic spirit slightly raised and she gave Ning Fan a sidelong glance with disdain.
She actually dared to call Ning Fan a cunning person …
"Chong Er, don't be rude!" Yu Bai's eyes darkened. He immediately cupped his fists and apologized to Ning Fan awkwardly.
"This is my younger sister, Yu Chong Er. She has always been cultivating in the Yu Clan. She doesn't know the rules and offended Venerated Ming with her words. She definitely doesn't mean any harm. Please calm down, Venerated Ming."
Yu Bai smiled bitterly in his mind. Even if Ning Fan was really a cunning person, he did not dare to make sarcastic remarks in front of everyone. After all, Ning Fan was a Peak Divine Transformation Realm expert. He could choose not to be on good terms with him but he must not become enemies with him.
Moreover, Yu Bai already admired Ning Fan from the few words they exchanged. He did not think that Ning Fan was a cunning person at all. Therefore, he was naturally very displeased with Yu Chong Er's rude remarks. He was afraid that Ning Fan would get angry because of it.
Ning Fan's gaze swept across Yu Chong Er indifferently. He shook his head with a smile. "It's alright. It's rare for your younger sister to be frank and frank. As long as she doesn't mean any harm by saying those words, I won't hold it against her for Fellow Daoist Yu's sake even if it's a little unpleasant. "
"Hehe. Thank you for your magnanimity, Fellow Daoist Zhou. Chong Er, why aren't you coming over and apologizing to Venerated Ming?" Yu Bai's eyes turned serious.
"Humph! Who would apologize to him! All of you are afraid of him. That's why you don't dare to speak ill of him. I, Yu Chong 'er, am not afraid of him. My master is Yun Qingge, one of the' four great Void Fragmentation Realm experts'. I'm not afraid of any perverted thief or devil cultivator! "
The little girl glared at Ning Fan angrily. Humph! How could I be wrong? Ning Fan is obviously an evil person.
The little girl did not have any other strong points but she was born with a keen sense of baleful qi. She could clearly feel that the baleful qi in Ning Fan's body was earth-shattering. Perhaps he must have slaughtered hundreds of Divine Transformation Realm experts to have such frightening baleful qi.
Yu Chong 'er knew that Ning Fan must be a great devil lord. He must be pretending to be easy-going. He must be extremely dangerous!
He was obviously a devil cultivator, but he still insisted on joining the Rain Palace. He wanted to cleanse his name and walk the righteous path. Wasn't that cunning?
Yu Chong 'er was born in the Yu Clan. Ever since she was young, she had been the pearl of the clan. Moreover, she was doted on by a Void Fragmentation Realm expert.
However, her disposition was also pure and kind. Normally, she was quite chivalrous, unlike other righteous cultivators who only talk nonsense.
Naturally, she did not like Ning Fan, the great devil lord.
She was not good at pretending. She just did not like him. However, she did not expect that even her elder brother would not stand on her side and help Ning Fan instead after she told him the truth. It really made her angry.
"You can continue pretending. I, Yu Chong 'er, will never fall for your tricks." Yu Chong' er transmitted her voice to Ning Fan in dissatisfaction.
"…" Ning Fan directly ignored her. With his temperament, he was too lazy to bicker with a little girl.
Yes, his easy-going manner was indeed part of his disguise. If it was his original appearance, perhaps he would be as cold as ice to this group of unfamiliar cultivators.
However, most of the time, disguises were not out of malice. They were just forced by life. Everyone had a mask. They either wore it or took it off.
Ning Fan was not a good person. However, he did not hold any grudges against the Serene Heaven Palace. Moreover, Chu Chang 'an had given him three pots of dragon blood. Therefore, he still had a good impression of the Serene Heaven Palace.
Towards his enemies, he would kill them without showing any mercy.
Towards his friends, he would turn a blind eye even if they were being sarcastic.
All the Divine Transformation Realm experts had sharp eyes. How could they not notice Yu Chong 'er's telepathic message to Ning Fan? Moreover, from the movement of her lips, they could tell that she was probably not saying anything nice.
However, Ning Fan did not say anything back. He did not even look at her. His magnanimity was even more admirable.
"* Sigh * Seeing is believing … Revered Ming's magnanimity can be counted with one's fingers in the entire Rain Palace. My younger sister is young and ignorant. She spoke rudely but Revered Ming tolerated her again and again. I really feel bad … Please accept this item, Revered Ming. "
Yu Bai gritted his teeth. Half of it was because he felt guilty and the other half was because he really did not want to offend Ning Fan. After pondering for a while, he took out an exquisite jade box from his storage pouch and handed it to Ning Fan.
The jade box was slightly opened. Immediately, a trace of ten thousand years old medicinal fragrance leaked out, causing the bodies of the revered elders at the scene to tremble. Their eyes were burning with desire.
"A ten thousand years old spiritual herb! Besides, this medicine is definitely not wrong. Could it be … "
Yu Bai gently gritted his teeth. Then, he calmly pushed the jade box to Ning Fan and said apologetically.
"This tuft of Red Building Ganoderma has been appraised by a Fifth Revolution Pill Master to be thirteen thousand and four hundred years old. If you consume it, it can extend your lifespan by two hundred years. I'll give it to Brother Zhou. "
"Red Building Ganoderma?" Ning Fan was secretly surprised. This was a miraculous medicine that could extend the lifespan of Divine Transformation Realm cultivators. They could only consume one tuft of it in their lifetime and it could extend their lifespan by two hundred years. If it is placed in the market, it was highly possible for it to be auctioned for hundreds of millions of immortal jade.
To Divine Transformation Realm cultivators, no, to anyone, an extra two hundred years of lifespan was extremely precious.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed. By giving this item to him, Yu Bai was really sincere in befriending him.
Among the thirteen Divine Transformation Realm cultivators, Yu Bai was the only one who stood up to welcome him. Ning Fan naturally had a good impression of him.
He did not lack lifespan prolonging spiritual herbs. However, he had to accept this medicine. By accepting it, it meant that the two of them had become friends.
"Many thanks for Brother Yu's generous gift. I don't have anything good to give you in return. These pills were refined by me, I hope Brother Yu doesn't mind."
Ning Fan casually took out a few bottles of medicine. All of them were Fifth Revolution Pills that he concocted.
As soon as they heard Ning Fan return Yu Bai a pill that he concocted, many Divine Transformation Realm cultivators in the hall frowned slightly. From their point of view, it was already rare for Ning Fan's pill refinement mastery to reach the Third Revolution. It would be very difficult for him to reach the Fourth Revolution. As for the Fifth Revolution, it would be a joke.
If he used the pills he refined as a return gift, the value was naturally not worth mentioning.
However, Yu Bai was very happy about it. As the saying goes, the gift is light but the sentiment is heavy. Returning the pill that he concocted contained his sincerity. It meant that he had acknowledged Yu Bai as a friend.
Even if Ning Fan was just concocting a Third Revolution Pill, he, Yu Bai, would still accept it.
"Third Brother, why did you give the Red Chamber Ganoderma to this demon! You, you, you, this is for Mother … "
"Mother has already taken the Red House Ganoderma once. It's useless for her to take it again …"
"Even so! You gave him the Red Chamber Ganoderma, but he gave you a pill that might not even be a Third Revolution pill. You've suffered a huge loss! "
"Shut up! Reciprocation is the most important thing. How can it be measured by value? "
Yu Bai glared at Yu Chong 'er in displeasure.
What Yu Bai admired was Ning Fan's magnanimity and talent. What did it have to do with these pills?
Even if Ning Fan did not return the pills, Yu Bai was also willing to befriend him.
Yu Chong 'er vented her anger on Ning Fan even more. Humph! It's all because of Great Demon Ning that I got scolded by my elder brother again and again.
She stomped her feet angrily and ran to Yu Bai. She snatched the pill bottle from his hand and passed it to Ning Fan arrogantly.
"Take your Third Revolution Pill back and return the Red Chamber Ganoderma to my elder brother!" She did not want her elder brother to suffer losses.
"Chong 'er, how dare you!"
"Brother Yu, please calm down …"
Ning Fan waved his hand. Inwardly, he only felt that it was funny but he was not angry.
Yu Bai was a person who was worth befriending. As for this Yu Chong 'er, it seemed like she was starting to throw a tantrum.
"Zhou Ming, take your Third Revolution Pill away. My elder brother doesn't want it! Great Demon Ning, don't get involved with my Yu Clan! "
"My relationship with your elder brother doesn't seem to be a hindrance to Miss Chong 'er, does it? Are you sure that this is just a Third Revolution Pill? " Ning Fan's eyelids twitched and his eyes darkened. Yu Chong 'er who was still young and innocent had never been stared at by a man like this before. For a moment, her face turned red and her aura became slightly weaker.
"No, if it's not a Third Revolution Pill, could it be a Fourth Revolution Pill?"
"Maybe rank five."
"Impossible! You clearly said that this pill was refined by you! "
Yu Chong 'er's beautiful eyes widened. Humph. I'm not an idiot. The medicinal qi of this pill clearly contains a trace of Ning Fan's qi which was planted when he concocted it.
She carefully received the pill bottle and took a whiff of the medicinal fragrance. Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on her face. She felt that the medicinal fragrance was a little too strong.
Rank five … could it be rank five? No, that's impossible! It was impossible for Ning Fan to be a Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Master!
However, this medicinal fragrance …
Bang!
Yu Chong 'er uncorked the bottle with a nervous heart. In an instant, the pill fragrance that was originally sealed spread into the surroundings.
The moment they smelled the pill fragrance, the expressions of all the Soul Formation cultivators present changed drastically.
"Mid Grade Fifth Revolution Pill … God Injury Pill! Consuming one of these pills can completely heal a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator's severe injuries! Each of these pills is worth ten million immortal jade! "
"Mid Grade Fifth Revolution Pill … Death Sealing Pill! This is a pill that can only be found in the Upper World. The pill recipe has never been leaked to outsiders. I can't believe Revered Ming actually concocted it! "
"Revered Ming … is actually a Mid Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Master!"
All of a sudden, all the cultivators' gazes gathered on Ning Fan. Their eyes were filled with shock and passion.
There were less than fifty Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Masters in the Rain World.
As for Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Masters, there were only seven of them.
Until now, there were no Seventh Revolution Pill Refinement Masters. Of course, there were also rumors saying that the Pill Sovereign who had been in seclusion for a long time had already broken through to the Seventh Revolution Pill Refinement Realm. However, everything was still unknown.
The identity of a Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Master was definitely more glorious than an ordinary Divine Transformation Realm cultivator.
Moreover, this Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Master was a Mid Grade Divine Transformation Realm expert. Adding all of these factors together, Ning Fan's identity was too honorable.
None of the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators present was willing to offend a Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Master!
Yu Chong 'er put down the pill bottle in a daze. She was speechless. She did not expect that Ning Fan could concoct Fifth Revolution Pills and was even willing to give Yu Bai a few bottles of Fifth Revolution Pills.
The total value of these pills should be at least two hundred million immortal jade …
The value of the items that Ning Fan gave to Yu Bai was even higher than the Red Chamber Ganoderma.
Ning Fan did not have the intention to take advantage of her at all. Yu Chong 'er was the one who judged him with the heart of a despicable person.
"I'm sorry. I misunderstood you. Y-You might not be a good person but you might not be a bad person either … I also did not expect you to be a Mid Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Master … I-I … In short, I apologize for what I said just now. However, even if I apologize, I still won't like you. I hope you can understand. "
Yu Chong 'er's words were somewhat incoherent.
What she wanted to express was probably to maintain a normal relationship with Ning Fan from now on. She did not like him but she also did not hate him. They were just like strangers. The friendship between gentlemen was as indifferent as water.
However, this expression was very ambiguous. In the ears of the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators who were experienced in the ways of the world, they only felt that it was like the romantic words of a young couple.
What did she mean by 'I won't like you'? This kind of emphasis is very obvious, isn't it?
Even Yu Bai looked at his younger sister with a strange expression. He thought to himself. Chong 'er has been arguing with Ning Fan since the beginning. Could it be that she has taken a fancy to Ning Fan and is purposely provoking him to attract his attention?
At least, Yu Bai had seen a lot of the thoughts of a young girl.
"Hehe. It's right that Miss Chong 'er does not like me. If you like me, I will be troubled. I already have a wife. "
Ning Fan teased. His words caused many revered elders to burst into laughter.
"You! Humph! I don't care if you have a wife or not. You are despicable! "The slight guilt that Yu Chong 'er felt towards Ning Fan just now immediately vanished.
As expected, he is not a good person. He actually dared to tease me in front of everyone!
Master is right. There are no good men, especially men who cultivate the devil path!
