Hong Yi rarely spoke. She remained silent, as if she was cold and arrogant. He led Ning Fan to collect all the bamboo leaves in the Golden Lightning Heavenly Dwelling.
Naturally, these bamboo leaves were still with her temporarily. It was impossible for her to hand them over to Ning Fan.
She could also tell that Ning Fan's golden purple mist had some background. It was not difficult for him to dissolve the spirit sense imprint of the bamboo leaves.
Hong Yi's cold eyes narrowed as she thought about the purple golden mist. She seemed to have some thoughts in her mind. She hesitated for a moment before she shook her head as if she had rejected the idea.
Yue Lingkong and the female corpse had both recalled their Cauldron Ring. As for the three spiritual puppets, he also kept them away.
He agreed to Hong Yi's request. He knew that after Hong Yi collected all the golden leaves, she would lead him to the small chiliocosm to collect the dark golden bamboo leaves of a higher grade.
That small chiliocosm was probably really filled with dangers. Therefore, even Ning Fan did not dare to bring the two ladies along with him.
Hong Yi's frown, cold eyes, contemplation and denial did not escape Ning Fan's observation.
Ning Fan secretly activated the Yin Yang Locket, trying to use the Mind Reading Technique to see through this woman's thoughts.
However, there seemed to be tens of thousands of lightning bolts in this woman's heart, shielding her from the heavens, making it impossible to pry into her heart.
"The Mind Reading Technique is ineffective, huh …?" Ning Fan knitted his brows, feeling that this lady was not ordinary at all.
Moreover, when he activated the Mind Reading Technique, Hong Yi seemed to have sensed it. Her eyes turned even colder, and her blood-red eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"You dare pry into my Heavenly Secrets? If there is a next time, you will die! "
Hiss!
A gush of baleful qi that was completely unbefitting of his Void Refinement Realm cultivation base swept across the sky, dyeing the golden lightning in the sky red. The deafening claps of thunder were deafening.
Being in the middle of the lightning might, Ning Fan felt as tiny as a withered leaf in the wind. Inwardly, he was startled and took half a step back. His eyes turned cold and he also summoned his terrifying baleful qi. It was the baleful qi of this woman in the past.
Boom!
As the two auras clashed, Hong Yi did not move even half a step. However, her cold eyes were slightly moved.
As for Ning Fan, he retreated a few hundred steps along with the collision of his aura. Every step he took caused the ground to collapse.
In the end, he stabilized his footsteps. His aura shook, and the ferocious might of Hong Yi dissipated. However, he was unscathed.
Although he wasn't injured, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
This woman's pressure was earth-shattering!
There was probably no one below the Void Fragmentation Realm who could remain unmoved under the pressure of this woman!
If the Thunder Sovereign was at his peak, he would be the strongest in the Rain World.
If this woman was the daughter of the Thunder Sovereign, even if she was only at the Early Void Refinement Realm, she would most likely be invincible among Void Refinement Realm experts.
"I've underestimated this woman … The three Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppets won't be able to withstand a single attack from her at all. The only thing that can withstand her attack is the Stele of Sun and Moon …"
With a trump card to protect himself, Ning Fan was naturally calm.
Hong Yi could not help but look at him in a higher light when she saw how calm he was.
In her long life, she had seen many young experts. However, she had never seen someone like Ning Fan who could resist her baleful qi and ferocious might without showing any change in his expression.
Hong Yi's cold gaze softened as her killing intent dissipated. She said coldly, "There will be no next time."
"Yes."
This lady's strength had far exceeded his estimation. If it's not necessary, he also did not want to anger her before obtaining the golden leaf.
Since he couldn't pry into this woman's thoughts using the Mind Reading Technique, he decided not to use it again.
Between the two of them, there was no more conversation. The atmosphere was quite heavy.
Hong Yi was still as cold as ice from the beginning to the end. Ning Fan did not talk to her as he was worried that he might say something wrong and anger her again.
As for Ning Fan, he was secretly weighing the pros and cons.
Half a day later, all the golden lightning bamboo leaves in the heavenly dwelling were collected.
Hong Yi did not look relaxed at all. On the contrary, her cold eyes began to turn solemn.
"There are a total of 7150 golden leaves in this heavenly dwelling. They are the original purpose of my trip. However, if you can help me collect 7 pieces of dark golden bamboo leaves, I can give you all of these golden leaves. "
"Mm."
"This heavenly dwelling is called the Golden Lightning Heavenly Dwelling. It's used to plant golden lightning bamboos. However, there's also the dark golden lightning bamboo which is planted in the Black Lightning Realm of the small chiliocosm. In the past, only my father was qualified to enjoy the dark golden bamboo leaves. You're very lucky. If you help me collect more than 7 pieces of bamboo leaves, I can consider giving you some of them. "
"Mm."
Ning Fan did not say much or ask any questions. He also knew that there was no room for negotiation.
Hong Yi nodded her head in satisfaction at Ning Fan's attitude. She led him to the peak of a gigantic golden mountain which was surrounded by tens of thousands of lightning bolts.
There were so many golden lightning bolts. Even though they were not as powerful as the blood lightning of the heavenly tribulation, their destructive power was still extraordinary.
Ning Fan's eyes were filled with desire. If I refine the Spirit Shattering Whip with these golden lightning bolts, it might be able to break through to the Void Treasure Realm.
"You want these golden lightning bolts?" Hong Yi saw through Ning Fan's thoughts with just a glance.
"How would I dare?"
"If you want them, just say it. You are somewhat useful to me. It's not like I can't give you some golden lightning bolts. However, do you have a lightning treasure to collect lightning bolts? "Hong Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain. She did not like people who say one thing but mean another.
Ning Fan was slightly surprised. The golden lightning bolts that filled the sky were actually given to him by Hong Yi without much thought.
One had to know that if Ning Fan takes away all the golden lightning bolts, the heavenly dwelling of the Golden Lightning Heavenly Dwelling would become a wasteland and the golden bamboos would no longer be able to grow leaves.
After thinking about it carefully, Ning Fan also understood why Hong Yi was so generous.
Hong Yi needed his help while Ning Fan needed her to give him the golden leaves. Both of them had a mutually beneficial relationship.
However, Hong Yi had forced Ning Fan previously which hurt their relationship after all. She was using the golden lightning bolts to repair their relationship.
Even though the golden lightning bamboos were precious, Hong Yi's standards were higher. She did not think much of them in the first place.
She did not care whether the golden lightning bamboos could continue to grow or not.
Since Hong Yi was willing to give the golden lightning bolts to Ning Fan, there was no reason for him to reject it.
Lightning treasures were needed to collect lightning bolts. As for lightning treasures, Ning Fan still had them.
He touched his glabella and a blood-red lightning whip shadow appeared. It was the Spirit Shattering Whip.
As soon as the whip appeared, the blood-red lightning crackled, causing Hong Yi's cold eyes to flicker.
"Blood lightning?"
She did not expect that Ning Fan actually had a lightning treasure which was surrounded by the blood lightning of the heavenly tribulation.
One should know that this type of lightning was a little special. Ordinary people could not control it …
Strange. Strange … In the Rain World, other than the bloodline of the lightning sovereign, no one should be able to control it …
Hong Yi stretched out her hand and beckoned. The lightning whip which was lying quietly in Ning Fan's hand obediently floated up and flew into her hand.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with surprise. It was his first time being snatched away by someone empty-handed!
Before he could ask for the lightning whip back, Hong Yi shook her head and smiled disdainfully.
"Don't worry. I won't be interested in the 'trashy' magic treasure of a junior." She emphasized the word 'trashy' very accurately.
"Trashy?" Ning Fan's eyes turned gloomy. It was his first time being criticized by someone for the magic treasure he refined.
His tool refinement technique was indeed not the best in the Rain World. However, even ordinary Void Refinement Realm old monsters might not be as good as him. After all, he had obtained Ancient Chaos's incomplete memories.
The Spirit Shattering Whip which he refined was definitely a rare treasure. It had helped him kill his enemies time and time again, making them tremble in fear.
This treasure might not have extraordinary abilities but it was definitely not trash.
"If the opponent doesn't have a treasure, will this treasure still be useful?" Hong Yi did not argue with him. She just pointed out the abilities and drawbacks of the Spirit Shattering Whip with just a few words.
Ning Fan's eyes turned slightly serious. He thought to himself. This Hong Yi's eyesight is rather sharp.
She is the first person who can see through all the abilities of the Spirit Shattering Whip with just a single glance.
Could it be that this woman who is full of killing intent is a Tool Refinement Grandmaster?
"Your puppet is not bad. Even though it is only a half-finished product, its technique is extremely brilliant. It is at least at the standard of a True Immortal. At first, I thought you were the one who refined it. Now, it seems like the one who refined it is someone else … Your tool refinement technique sucks. "
"…"
Ning Fan was mocked once again. However, he was no longer angry. He could already tell that Hong Yi's tool refinement technique and puppet refinement technique were probably extremely profound.
With just a glance at the three puppets, she was able to tell that they were refined by a True Immortal. Her eyesight was indeed sharp.
"What is the name of this treasure?" Hong Yi asked coldly.
"Spirit Shattering Whip."
"Spirit Shattering Whip is a very good ability. However, it is not enough to just use this treasure to shatter it … Ten Thousand Lightning in the Heavens, Tai Su Defense. From today onwards, this treasure will be renamed as … the White Lightning Whip! "
Hong Yi's blood-red eyes flashed. She raised her head and looked at the sky. That gaze of hers actually made all the golden lightning in the sky tremble in fear.
She waved the lightning whip in her hand. With a wave of her hand, the lightning whip abruptly turned into blood-red lightning and shattered. The immemorial stars contained within the whip also reassembled.
With a point of her jade-like finger, the blood-red lightning suddenly turned into blood-red lightning flames and engulfed the immemorial stars. Traces of lightning power turned into lightning runes in the shape of profound wings, emitting a vast and desolate qi.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the lightning whip was reassembled. Its ability was still the same. However, what was different now was that the blood-red lightning on the whip was as dazzling as the aurora in the starry sky.
Moreover, the grade of the lightning whip had already broken through to the grade of a Mortal Void Treasure.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with surprise. Hong Yi had actually improved the grade of the lightning whip just by making some minor changes to it!
Without a doubt, it meant that Hong Yi's tool refinement technique had far surpassed Ning Fan's standard. The destructive power of the lightning whip that she had just refined was also far above Ning Fan's.
"I have refined this whip with the White Lightning. From today onwards, if I want to shatter someone's primordial spirit, I don't need their magic treasures anymore … I just need to gather lightning in the whip and I can shatter their primordial spirit!"
* Boom *
Hong Yi fiercely lashed the whip at the sky as if she was whipping the heavens. Even though the might of the golden lightning in the sky was strong, it was directly shattered into countless pieces by her whip.
For the second time, the lightning rays were all shattered into light spots.
For the third time, traces of light spots were forcibly absorbed into the lightning whip.
As the traces of golden lightning entered the whip, the grade of the lightning whip increased once again. It actually showed signs of advancing to the Mid-Grade Mortal Void Treasure!
In the sky above the heavenly dwelling, the bloody scars caused by the lightning whip could not be healed.
The destructive power of a single whip was enough to kill a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert!
The destructive power of three whips was enough to injure even an Early Void Refinement Realm expert!
"Take it."
Hong Yi casually tossed the lightning whip to Ning Fan as if she was giving it to him as a gift.
Ning Fan caught the lightning whip. As soon as he held it, he could feel that the lightning power of this whip was more than one hundred times stronger than before after it had devoured the golden lightning!
In the past, the lightning power was too weak. It could only be used on magic treasures to attack one's primordial spirit.
From today onwards, a single whip in the sky had the ability to shatter one's primordial spirit. This whip had leaped from an auxiliary magic treasure to a supreme killing tool!
"Thank you, Miss Hong Yi, for refining this treasure for me. Your tool refinement technique is so brilliant that it makes me feel ashamed of my inferiority." Ning Fan admitted that he was weak. Other than cultivation, he was only proficient in pill refinement and formation techniques. He did not have any extra thoughts to cultivate his tool refinement technique.
"Miss?" Hong Yi sneered as if she had just heard a funny title.
"You don't have to thank me. The reason why I refine this treasure for you is so that it will be more convenient for us in the future. There are many lightning spirits in the Black Lightning Realm. With this White Lightning Whip, you can kill many of them. You guard me while I open the Black Lightning Realm! "
Hong Yi's tone left no room for refusal.
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately formed a hand seal and forcefully tore open a realm filled with rolling black lightning on the mountain peak.
It was as if she was not afraid that Ning Fan would launch a sneak attack on her when she was unprepared. It was a kind of confidence that only an absolute expert would have.
It was already difficult for a Void Fragmentation Realm expert to have such confidence. It was really strange for a Void Refinement Realm cultivator to have such confidence.
Thinking about it carefully, even though this Hong Yi's mouth was vicious, she was just speaking the truth. Her eyes were cold and arrogant but she did not have any evil intentions.
After helping Ning Fan refine the lightning whip, it seemed like the previous offense she had towards him could be written off.
What was left was only the cooperation between the two of them.
"The Black Lightning Realm is about to open. Prepare to enter the realm stealthily. Don't let the 'Void Pierce Stage lightning spirit' notice us."
"Void Pierce Stage lightning spirit!" Ning Fan's eyes turned solemn. A Void Pierce Stage lightning spirit. Isn't that equivalent to a Late Void Refinement Realm being?
Every step after the Void Refinement Realm was a world of difference.
A Void Inquiry Stage cultivator could control the power of the void while a Void Pierce Stage cultivator could borrow the power of the void to nourish their Qi at the Void Pierce Stage and obtain an inexhaustible amount of void magic power.
The Late Void Refinement Realm and the Mid Void Refinement Realm was the real dividing line.
A late-stage cultivator might not necessarily lose even if he were to fight ten mid-stage cultivators alone!
Ning Fan's eyes turned solemn. It seems like this Black Lightning Realm is really dangerous.
Immediately, he activated the Heaven Deceiving Cloak without any hesitation. As for Hong Yi, her figure slowly faded away. However, she was still transmitting her voice to Ning Fan, letting him know their location.
"Enter the realm!" Hong Yi and Ning Fan turned invisible and entered the Black Lightning Realm.
In an instant, more than ten ancient spirit senses swept past the entrance of the Black Lightning Realm in a domineering manner. Each of them had the might of a Late Void Refinement Realm cultivator!
"Who … dares to barge into the realm?!"
Boom!
The immense pressure turned into a lightning force that shook the heavens and the earth, blasting into Ning Fan's eardrums.
All of a sudden, Ning Fan felt a sharp pain in his Sea of Consciousness as if it was about to shatter!
