There was only one month left until the agreed time with Xuan Yi.
Yue Lingkong had no choice but to stay in the secret plane to recuperate from her injuries. She had failed to break through to the middle stage, so the backlash was not light.
As for Ning Fan, he was not in a hurry to leave either. It was because Yue Lingkong had told him that after she recovers from her injuries, she was fully confident that she could bring him across the moon portals and reach the Six-Winged Clan in the shortest time possible.
Yue Lingkong recovered her appearance and cultivation level. She seemed to have regained the confidence she had in the past.
At this moment, she was confident that she could exterminate the Six-Winged Clan by herself.
Yue Lingkong's second primordial spirit could already fight against three Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppets at the same time.
If she really killed her way into the Six-Winged Clan, Xuan Yi might not be her match.
The prerequisite was that … she had to recover from her injuries and return to her peak condition.
Yue Lingkong's naked body was sitting on a huge piece of cold jade in the Divine Space's secret ground. Her delicate body was enveloped in starlight.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, controlled the power of the black star and sat cross-legged on his back to treat his injuries. His eyes, however, became increasingly solemn.
After condensing ninety-nine natal black stars, Ning Fan's star technique was so strong that even ordinary Life Immortal Realm experts who had comprehended star techniques might not necessarily be able to match him.
With this star force, injuries could be healed and essence blood could be replenished, but there were still things that couldn't be done.
For example … the crack on Yue Lingkong's primordial spirit could not be sewn up using star power.
"Light … Danger … Danger …" The female corpse raised her white hand and stood at the side. She pointed at Yue Lingkong's primordial spirit in her dantian and reminded her.
Even the female corpse could tell that Yue Lingkong's primordial spirit's situation wasn't too good, it was a bit dangerous.
Ning Fan naturally noticed it as well. While he was treating Yue Lingkong's injuries, he was also scolding her with a frown.
"Primordial spirit fission … Yue Lingkong, I really didn't know that you were such a bold woman in the past! Do you know how dangerous it is for the Primordial Spirit to split apart? "
"Little Cucumber! Don't think that just because you've helped me a few times that you can order me around … Ouch! "Yue Lingkong subconsciously retorted. Immediately, her perky buttocks were heavily slapped by Ning Fan, causing her to cry out in pain.
Immediately, a bright red palm print was left on her fair buttocks … In the midst of the pain, a trace of anger and shame spread endlessly in Yue Lingkong's heart.
She was actually beaten! Moreover, he was beaten by Ning Fan! And the place he hit was her tender butt! F * ck!
With Yue Lingkong's explosive temper, whoever dared to spank her, she would definitely chop that person into a human stick. If it was in the past, he would have already fought with Ning Fan to the death.
This time, however, she actually did not fight back. Thinking about it carefully, it was no wonder that Ning Fan would be angry.
It was extremely risky for her to devour her second primordial spirit and break through to the Mid Void Refinement Realm without her permission.
Putting aside the danger of breaking through to the Mid Divine Sense Realm, Ning Fan would be able to cure her no matter how severe the backlash was.
However, devouring a second primordial spirit was an extremely dangerous act for cultivators below the Void Refinement Realm.
However, a crack appeared on Yue Lingkong's primordial spirit. It was a sign that her primordial spirit was about to split apart.
This crack wasn't an ordinary injury, and it couldn't be healed with the power of the Black Star. This was the sequela left behind when Yue Lingkong's primordial spirit fused with her second primordial spirit.
The Second Nascent Soul Technique, as the name suggested, allowed a cultivator to cultivate two Nascent Souls within a single dantian, each independent of the other.
There were pros and cons to being independent. The benefit was that the Dual Primordial Spirit could be split into two, and it was extremely useful in battle. As for the drawbacks …
Yue Lingkong was betrayed by her second primordial spirit. This was one of the drawbacks.
With the experience of being betrayed by her second primordial spirit, Yue Lingkong did not try to subdue her second primordial spirit again. Instead, she directly devoured her second primordial spirit with a barbaric method and merged the two primordial spirits into one.
The merging of primordial spirits was something that only Peak Void Refinement Realm cultivators of the Absolute Void Stage could do. However, even Absolute Void Stage cultivators could not guarantee that they would succeed.
It was already extremely rare for Yue Lingkong to merge the two primordial spirits imperfectly. It was inevitable that a crack would be left between the two primordial spirits.
If she doesn't get rid of this crack, she wouldn't be able to control her magic power freely.
Moreover, as the crack expands, her primordial spirit would split apart in less than a month. Her cultivation base would fall back to its previous level and her primordial spirit would suffer irreversible damage.
She might even … die!
Ning Fan's expression turned solemn. The crack in her primordial spirit was really troublesome.
If Yue Lingkong couldn't be healed, she would suffer severe injuries. Ning Fan also didn't have anyone to open the moon portals and rush to the Six-Winged Clan within a month.
Seeing that Ning Fan was really displeased, Yue Lingkong rubbed her buttocks and gritted her teeth. In the end, she still didn't fight back.
"Detestable! How dare Little Cucumber hit me?! If it wasn't because of Little Cucumber's sincere concern for me, I would definitely chop off his cucumber and eat it as a salad … Forget it. I'll forgive him this time! "
Yue Lingkong seemed to have suffered a grievance in silence.
After she finished healing her injuries, she put on her clothes. Her sleeves fluttered in the wind and the ribbons of her skirt danced in the air. Her eyes were like moons, making her look like an ancient immortal concubine or a celestial being of the moon.
However, there was also a valiant and valiant aura in her demeanor.
Her injuries had fully healed but something happened to her primordial spirit. Since she could not use her magic power, she naturally couldn't open the moon portals and travel through the hollow space.
Seeing that Ning Fan was still frowning, not only did Yue Lingkong not fight back, but she also seemed to have given in …
"Little Cucumber, don't be angry anymore. Next time, I will discuss with you before I make a decision. Alright?"
"Remember what you said. Don't do it again! Hurry up and get ready. Your primordial spirit can't be delayed any longer. I will think of a way to bring you to the Six-Winged Clan within a month and borrow the power of the Revival Platform to help you stitch up your primordial spirit. It shouldn't be difficult. "Ning Fan said firmly.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. I know a place with a kind of spiritual item that can help me stitch up my primordial spirit. Besides, that place is only one billion li * (500m per li) away from the Divine Space Sea. With your speed, it will only take you ten days to bring me to that island. In the remaining time, after I recover to my peak, I will bring you to open the moon portals and travel through the hollow space. Reaching the Six-Winged Clan is just a matter of a blink of an eye. No one below the Void Fragmentation Realm can catch up to the speed of my moon portals! As for the Revival Platform, I'll leave it to that cucumber woman. Her Sea of Consciousness has yet to recover and she is in a worse state than me … "
Yue Lingkong looked at the female corpse with a hint of pity in her eyes. After all, she had been with the female corpse for a long time and had gone through life and death together. Thus, she still had some feelings for her.
Besides, Yue Lingkong was not a fool. Since she dared to devour her second primordial spirit, she naturally had a backup plan. She was confident that she could stitch up her primordial spirit without leaving any future troubles.
The injury she suffered this time was just a reckless act to break through the bottleneck of the Mid Nascent Soul Realm. Devouring her second primordial spirit was definitely part of her plan.
Therefore, it was actually very unfair for her to be spanked by Ning Fan.
However, she actually did not return the slap to Ning Fan. It was really not her style.
Moreover, she actually admitted defeat … Something must be wrong with her brain!
"Which island is it? What spiritual item is there that can cure the injury of your primordial spirit?" Ning Fan's furrowed brows slightly relaxed.
"It's the Thunder Bamboo Island, a subordinate force of the Zhou Clan. On this island, there is a type of thunder bamboo. Its bamboo leaves have a special effect on nourishing one's primordial spirit according to their medicinal age. Even the cracks on my primordial spirit can be healed."
"Thunder bamboo, huh …" Ning Fan frowned slightly, revealing a disapproving expression. He had naturally heard of the thunder bamboo before. However, he did not think that it could cure Yue Lingkong.
As a matter of fact, before he entered the Internal Endless Sea, he had already inquired about the Thunder Bamboo Island.
The thunder bamboo was a kind of mysterious spiritual item of heaven and earth. It grew in places where tens of thousands of lightning bolts intersected with each other. After being nourished by the power of lightning for a long time, it would give birth to a spirit. The bamboo leaves produced by it had the effect of nourishing one's primordial spirit.
However, the ordinary thunder bamboo was just at the silver grade. It could only nourish the primordial spirit of a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator at most.
As for Yue Lingkong's primordial spirit, it might not necessarily be able to be healed with the help of the thunder bamboo.
With that thought in mind, Ning Fan did not think that going to the Thunder Bamboo Island could cure the injury of Yue Lingkong's primordial spirit.
Moreover, the Thunder Bamboo Island belonged to the Zhou Clan. The foundation of the Zhou Clan was too deep. Even Ning Fan was quite fearful of them.
A thunder sovereign of the Zhou Clan could be on equal footing with the Rain Palace even if he dies.
The third elder of the Zhou Clan could make two Void Refinement Realm experts of the Rain Palace fearful even if he did not show himself.
Ning Fan did not know about the foundation of the Ghost Eye Clan but the Zhou Clan was definitely not a force he could afford to offend. If it's not necessary, he did not want to have any entanglement with the Zhou Clan.
If it's necessary, he could also go to the Thunder Bamboo Island once for Yue Lingkong's sake. However, the medicinal power of the silver bamboo was too weak.
"The silver bamboo can't cure you …" After a long time, Ning Fan shook his head and said.
"Who says that I'm going to use the silver bamboo to heal my injuries? I'm one of the 'Venerated Eight' of the internal sea. I have the right to enjoy the bamboo leaves of the golden bamboo of the Thunder Bamboo Island. Don't you know that? The venerated experts of the internal sea are subordinates of the thunder sovereign. They can receive a piece of golden bamboo's bamboo leaf every ten years! Other than that, as long as you have enough immortal jade, you can also purchase a sufficient amount of golden leaves. "
Yue Lingkong's eyes were filled with pride. She was sure that Ning Fan did not know about the secret of the golden bamboo!
The existence of the golden bamboo had always been kept a secret. Other than the supreme beings of the internal sea, only the Void Refinement Realm experts of the Zhou Clan had the right to consume it.
The grade of the golden bamboo was far above the silver bamboo. It could heal the primordial spirit injuries of Void Refinement Realm experts. It was really a rare treasure.
She especially emphasized the word 'eight' to remind Ning Fan that he had made a name for himself after all. He was respected as the eighth venerated being of the internal sea. Besides, his reputation was also tacitly approved by the Zhou Clan.
Ning Fan also had the right to enjoy the golden leaves. However, it had not been ten years since he became one of the eight venerated beings of the internal sea. Thus, he could not get the golden leaves for free. Most likely, he would have to pay a price to purchase some.
"Golden bamboo, huh …" Ning Fan nodded his head. If the Thunder Bamboo Island really has golden bamboos, he could bring Yue Lingkong there.
With Ning Fan's full speed, he could reach there in ten days.
Ten days later, they arrived at Thunder Bamboo Island. As long as she obtains enough golden leaves to help Yue Lingkong recover to her peak state, she would naturally be able to open the moon portals and bring Ning Fan to the Six-Winged Clan.
At that time, he could also borrow the power of the Revival Platform to repair the female corpse's Sea of Consciousness.
As such, Ning Fan almost no longer had any objections about heading to the Thunder Bamboo Island.
In the deepest part of the secret place where the Xuan Wei Bloody Gourd was kept, Ning Fan set up layers of formation techniques.
Layers of formation techniques with the lowest grade being at the Divine Transformation Realm had concealed all the qi of the bloody gourd to prevent Void Fragmentation Realm experts from accidentally entering this place and discovering the bloody gourd.
Other than the few Void Fragmentation Realm cultivators in the Rain World, no Void Refinement Realm cultivators could penetrate the moon mist and reach the Divine Space Island.
As for Void Fragmentation Realm experts, they probably wouldn't come to the Divine Space Sea out of boredom. Since the Profound Radiance Bloody Gourd was hidden in this place, no one would take it away.
Ten years later, the blood wine would be brewed. At that time, Ning Fan could take away the blood gourd and his magic power would skyrocket.
After hiding the bloody gourd properly, Ning Fan spread his wings and carried the female corpse and Yue Lingkong with him. Then, he turned into wisps of smoke and flew out of the Divine Space Sea.
They came in a hurry and left in a miserable manner. The moonlight became even more desolate.
Within the next ten years, Ning Fan would not return to this place.
As for Yue Lingkong, she would probably never return to this sad place again in her life.
The female corpse was quiet while Yue Lingkong was deep in thought. The two ladies remained silent in Ning Fan's embrace.
Ning Fan secretly glanced at Yue Lingkong and was inwardly surprised. This ferocious woman actually has times when she is quiet.
He always felt that after helping Yue Lingkong recover her body this time, his relationship with her seemed to have changed faintly. He could not explain it clearly.
If he must describe this change, it would be that … Yue Lingkong became a little more obedient.
It's unimaginable …
Ten days passed. Ning Fan split the waves and traveled at an extremely fast speed, scaring many cultivators along the way.
Outside the Thunder Bamboo Island, he stopped his movement light and put the two ladies down. Then, he stood in midair.
The Thunder Bamboo Island was not sealed but the formation light was activated. The formation light was not strong. It only had the ability to sense the surroundings. However, it made the cultivators who came and went feel fearful.
As for Ning Fan, he did not break the grand formation recklessly and forcefully barge into the island like he usually did.
When it was time to restrain himself, he would naturally restrain himself a little.
He and the two ladies descended on the Thunder Bamboo Island. As soon as they stepped on the island, more than ten cultivators who were guarding the island immediately walked up to them.
"Halt your steps! The silver bamboos on the Lightning Bamboo Island have already been sold out. If you're here for the Lightning Bamboo, then please leave quickly! "
Strange, truly strange!
Ning Fan frowned. He had just arrived on the island and before he could even state his purpose of coming, the other party had already asked him to leave.
Even though this group of cultivators of the Thunder Bamboo Island had yet to see Ning Fan's appearance clearly, they must have sensed his Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base.
However, even though they knew that Ning Fan was a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator, they still dared to chase him away. It was rather overbearing.
Besides, Ning Fan was not the only one who was expelled from the island. Many Gold Core Realm cultivators, Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators and even Divine Transformation Realm old monsters were asked to leave the Thunder Bamboo Island. But because the Zhou Clan was powerful, no one dared to disobey.
"I didn't come here for the silver bamboo but for the golden bamboo …" Ning Fan stood with his hands clasped behind his back and said indifferently.
"Golden bamboo?!"
As soon as they heard Ning Fan's words, the expressions of the ten plus cultivators from the Thunder Bamboo Sect changed. They carefully scrutinized Ning Fan's appearance.
When they looked at Yue Lingkong again, their expressions changed drastically.
"Eight venerables of the internal sea! Venerables Ming and Yue! Venerables Ming and Yue, please forgive us for our rudeness! "
As soon as the ten plus cultivators recognized Ning Fan and Yue Lingkong's identities, their faces were filled with fear.
However, even though they were fearful, they still blocked Ning Fan's path and showed no intention of letting them pass.
"Venerables Ming and Yue, please allow me to report. Our Thunder Bamboo Island has some important matters to deal with and we need to seal the island for a year. With Venerables Ming and Yue's identities, you naturally have the right to obtain the golden leaf. However, the situation is special. I implore the two venerables to leave and come to the island again one year later. We must prepare the golden leaf and wait for you! "
"Oh?"
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with surprise. This group of cultivators had recognized his and Yue Lingkong's identities but they still wanted to chase them away. It seemed like the timing of his visit to the Thunder Bamboo Island was indeed a little inopportune.
The reason why the Zhou Clan wanted to seal the island even at the risk of offending Ning Fan was probably quite significant.
However, it was really difficult for Ning Fan to wait for a year before obtaining the golden leaf.
He could wait for a year but Yue Lingkong could not. Without the golden leaf, Yue Lingkong's primordial spirit would disintegrate after another twenty days.
"What should I do?" Yue Lingkong frowned. She longed for the golden leaf but she could also see that the situation of the Thunder Bamboo Island was special.
"I can't enter the island and I can't barge into it openly. I'll just sneak in …"
Ning Fan did not explain. He turned around and was about to leave. He faintly sensed that there were four Void Refinement Realm spirit senses nervously locking onto him. Among them, there was even a Mid Void Refinement Realm spirit sense.
These Void Refinement Realm spirit senses were certainly the experts of the Zhou Clan. Besides, they certainly knew that Ning Fan had three Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppets with him. They were worried that Ning Fan would get hot-headed and barge into the Thunder Bamboo Island forcefully.
If that's the case, the four of them would certainly attack Ning Fan!
Ning Fan's expression remained unchanged as if he did not notice those Void Refinement Realm auras at all. He did not want to offend the Zhou Clan openly but he had a way to barge into the Thunder Bamboo Island privately.
The Heaven Deceiving Cloak!
With this item, he could pretend to leave first. Then, he would wrap up his cloak and sneak into the Thunder Bamboo Island with the two ladies. Who below the Void Fragmentation Realm would know that Ning Fan had been here?
Seeing Ning Fan turn around and leave after being chased away, the four Void Refinement Realm cultivators of the Zhou Clan who were hiding in the dark heaved a sigh of relief. If it's not necessary, they would not be willing to offend Ning Fan.
The female corpse's eyes were still calm but Yue Lingkong had a hint of disappointment.
She had seen Ning Fan fly into a rage because of too many women. However, when it was her turn, Ning Fan behaved so calmly. If he could not enter the island, he would not enter it. He turned around and left without any hesitation.
It was as if he did not care about her life or death at all in order to not offend the Zhou Clan.
He did not even try to argue or argue with those cultivators of the Thunder Bamboo Island …
"Ridiculous … Why am I disappointed? Why should I be disappointed? The Zhou Clan is so powerful. It's normal for Little Cucumber to not want to offend them. I've just slept with him once. I'm not related to him at all. What right do I have to be disappointed? "
She revealed a self-mocking sneer and left with Ning Fan. Her heart, however, gradually turned cold.
Only when they were one million li * (500m per li) away from the Thunder Bamboo Island did she stop moving. All of a sudden, she said coldly. "I, Yue Lingkong, will always remember the favor of helping the Divine Space Island. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. We'll meet again someday."
* Swish *
She turned around in such a calm manner. She actually wanted to part ways with Ning Fan.
Ning Fan's eyes revealed a strange expression. He grabbed Yue Lingkong's wrist. It was impossible for him to let her go.
"You want to leave? Where are you going? "
"Where I go has nothing to do with you!" Yue Lingkong cursed.
"Why does it have nothing to do with me? I'm even going to bring you to the Thunder Bamboo Island to steal bamboo leaves … Why? Don't you want to treat the injuries of your primordial spirit?"
Ning Fan was speechless. He could smell a sour smell from Yue Lingkong's body. It was even more sour than aged vinegar.
The more heroic a woman was, the scarier she would be when she gets jealous.
"Steal bamboo leaves? Little Cucumber, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand what you're saying …? "Yue Lingkong was stunned. Before she could figure out what was going on, she saw Ning Fan summoning his black cloak with an idea. Then, he pulled her and the female corpse into his embrace and covered them with the cloak.
In an instant, the three figures disappeared into thin air!
"This, this is … a Mysterious God Concealment Spiritual Equipment! It was a Concealment Spiritual Equipment that only Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters could refine! What do you want to do? You want to go to Thunder Bamboo Island to steal bamboo leaves? You're crazy! What if the Zhou Clan finds out? "
Yue Lingkong and her companion were stunned. No, as Yue Lingkong's companion, the female corpse had always been in a daze.
"Who would know?!" Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. There was still a sentence that he did not say.
So what if he knew?
He just didn't want to become enemies with the Zhou Clan, but even if he did, he wasn't necessarily afraid.
"Don't worry in the future. I won't leave you in the lurch. Jealousy is not a good behavior. "
Ning Fan turned into a ray of travelling light that was extremely stealthy and stealthily floated back to the direction of the Thunder Bamboo Island.
From a hidden place, a woman's voice could be heard, sharp and filled with disbelief.
"Jealous? I will be jealous. Little Cucumber, you think too highly of yourself! You're the one who's jealous, your whole family are pickled cucumbers! "
After scolding him, Yue Lingkong calmed down.
But soon after, he began to worry.
Little Cucumber was risking his life by stealing the bamboo leaves. Once he was discovered by the Void Refinement Realm experts of the Bamboo Island, he would certainly be hunted down by the four Void Refinement Realm experts.
Currently, Yue Lingkong could not use her magic power. She was not sure if Ning Fan and his three Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppets would be able to stop the four experts of the Thunder Bamboo Island if their act of stealing is exposed.
It's a little dangerous …
Yue Lingkong was a little nervous.
But for some reason, she felt a little happy.
At least Little Cucumber did not abandon her … He even dared to steal something from the Zhou Clan for her sake.
Mm, the more I look at this Little Cucumber, the more I like him.
