On the eleventh floor of the lightning tower, the Myriad Treasure Pavilion was a well-deserved super force.
The pavilion lord, Lei Shiyi, was a Void Inquiry Stage cultivator and he had five Void Glimpse Stage experts under him. With so many experts around, no one had ever dared to break into the Myriad Treasure Pavilion.
The lightning lord of the eleventh floor, Zhu Feng, naturally had no one who dared to stop him with King Ying Long's influence.
However, Ning Fan was just a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator. How could he pass through the heavy defenses of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion and enter the main hall?!
Chu Nanfeng, Mo Feiyun and the other two Void Glimpse Stage experts suddenly stood up with cold eyes.
They recognized Ning Fan as the person whom King Ying Long was pursuing with all his might. This person had slaughtered all ten floors of the lightning tower all by himself. He was a ferocious devil lord.
Ning Fan's baleful qi disappeared in a flash, making the five of them doubtful. They felt that they were mistaken.
Was it an illusion? Could it be that terrifying baleful qi was just an illusion?
"This young man is just a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator. It's impossible for him to kill thirteen Void Refinement Realm experts with his own hands. Yes. It must be like that. Rumor has it that this young man has three Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppets. The baleful qi on his body must be from the puppets in his hands! "
"He is just a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator after all! As long as he doesn't have time to summon his spiritual puppets, there's nothing to fear about him! "
With that thought, the five of them felt relieved. They could not help but look down on Ning Fan a little.
They did not know why Ning Fan trespassed into the Myriad Treasure Pavilion. However, judging from his words, he seemed to be here to make a deal with Lei Shiyi.
If that's the case, this person doesn't seem to be an enemy …
With the pavilion lord here, no matter if Ning Fan is an enemy or a friend, they do not need to deal with him.
"Oh? I have just collected some primordial lightning and have yet to contact you with the Thunder Sound Jade. However, you came to my Myriad Treasure Pavilion before me. What a rare guest. "
Lei Shiyi put down his golden abacus and looked at Ning Fan meaningfully with a grin.
"Little Friend, you really hid your strength well. You actually managed to sneak into my Myriad Treasure Pavilion without making a sound. I really admire you! "
"Excuse me."
Ning Fan smiled faintly. He did not continue the topic of the Heaven Deceiving Cloak and sat on a seat at the corner of the hall.
Seeing that Lei Shiyi and Ning Fan seemed to be friends, Chu Nanfeng and the other four Void Glimpse Stage experts became even calmer.
It seemed like Ning Fan did not have any ulterior motives towards the Myriad Treasure Pavilion. He just came here to purchase primordial lightning.
The doubts in his heart had been answered.
So, the reason why Lei Shiyi hurriedly returned to the eleventh floor and spent so much effort to purchase primordial lightning was just to sell it to Ning Fan?
Strange, truly strange.
No matter how he looked at it, he was just a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator. With such a cultivation base, how was it possible for Lei Shiyi to treat him politely? How was it possible for him to escape from King Ying Long's relentless pursuit?
This young man is just a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator. Even though he has three Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppets, he still has no chance of winning against a Void Inquiry Stage expert and five Void Glimpse Stage experts.
Why was he so calm? He sat alone in the dangerous Million Treasure Pavilion, was he not afraid?
"Are you all very interested in me?" Ning Fan sensed the faint spirit sense of the five of them. His sword sense shook slightly and repelled their spirit sense. Then, he said with a smile.
Hiss!
The expressions of the five Void Glimpse Stage experts changed.
The method Ning Fan used to repel their spirit sense was undoubtedly his sword sense. Besides, the strength of his spirit sense was not any weaker than a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator!
"Don't be impatient. Little Friend Zhou is my guest!" Lei Shiyi glared at the five of them.
Even he, Lei Shiyi, felt that Ning Fan's qi was erratic and he found it hard to see through him. If his five subordinates could detect Ning Fan's cultivation base, it would really be a miracle.
"My servants are not very sensible. I apologize for my rudeness. Little Friend, are you here to buy primordial lightning? Today, I have prepared ten thousand traces of primordial lightning. I wonder if Little Friend has brought enough money with him? "
Lei Shiyi grinned at Ning Fan again. While he was asking, he sniffed the air gently with his nose.
As soon as he sniffed, his eyes lit up.
"So many lightning jades! It seems like the rumor about Little Friend slaughtering the ten floors of the lightning tower is probably true! "
"Ten thousand traces of primordial lightning?"
Ning Fan's expression remained unchanged but his heart was slightly shocked. He needed at least another three hundred traces of primordial lightning to advance his lightning armor.
Even though he came to the Million Treasure Pavilion to buy primordial lightning, he did not expect that Lei Shiyi would actually have so much primordial lightning in his possession.
Ten thousand traces of primordial lightning were completely enough for his lightning armor to break through to the second level of the golden grade. It might even advance to the third level!
Every trace of primordial lightning represented the life of a Divine Transformation Realm undead spirit.
If Ning Fan collects ten thousand traces of primordial lightning by himself, he would certainly need to kill ten thousand Divine Transformation Realm undead spirits. He would need to kill at least fifty to sixty floors of the lightning tower in order to gather such a large amount of primordial lightning. This was obviously unrealistic.
Inwardly, Ning Fan pondered. If Lei Shiyi really has ten thousand traces of primordial lightning, the origin of these ten thousand traces of primordial lightning was certainly not from slaughtering undead spirits. Most likely, they were left behind by the Divine Transformation Realm undead spirits who had died in the lightning tower in the past countless years.
"That's right! I have gathered ten thousand traces of primordial lightning. Hehe. I will sell it at the price of thirty traces of primordial lightning per jade and give Little Friend a discount … Hehe. Three hundred silver jades. What do you think? "Lei Shiyi rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Three hundred silver jades!" The expressions of the five Void Glimpse Stage experts changed. As Void Glimpse Stage cultivators, each of them only possessed one hundred silver jades.
The lightning power contained in three hundred silver jades was almost the total wealth of three Void Glimpse Stage cultivators.
They could not believe that a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator like Ning Fan would possess so many lightning jades.
Moreover, they could not understand why Ning Fan would purchase a pile of useless primordial lightning at such a sky-high price.
What they did not know was that the primordial lightning that was useless to undead spirits was the best tonic for Ning Fan to cultivate his lightning armor.
"Deal."
Ning Fan spoke indifferently. In just an instant, he had ended this huge transaction.
The final decision was made!
Lei Shiyi took out hundreds of jade boxes that contained primordial lightning and handed them to Ning Fan. Ning Fan, on the other hand, paid three hundred silver jades. The entire transaction was done without any hesitation!
Chu Nanfeng and the others could not help but click their tongues. It was such a huge transaction but Ning Fan did not even bargain. What a bold and decisive man!
Their contempt towards Ning Fan faded a little. At least, they knew that they did not have such a bold and decisive man.
Ning Fan kept the primordial lightning. Once he leaves the Myriad Treasure Pavilion, he would devour primordial lightning to upgrade his lightning armor.
Lei Shiyi kept the three hundred silver jades. His heart was burning with excitement. After devouring these silver jades, his magic power would increase by a lot.
Everyone was satisfied with the transaction.
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lei still has any other good items. It's rare for me to come to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion this time. I still have quite a lot of spare money with me. I want to buy some more treasures."
Ning Fan still had ten golden jades and eight hundred silver jades. These lightning jades were useless to him. Thus, he was naturally willing to exchange them for some treasures from Lei Shiyi.
When Lei Shiyi heard Ning Fan's words, he immediately clapped his hands and laughed heartily, like a promiscuous woman who had met her adulterer.
"Don't worry, Little Friend! My Myriad Treasure Pavilion lacks many things but not treasures. We will certainly make Little Friend satisfied! "
He could smell that Ning Fan still had a large amount of lightning jades with him.
He was extremely willing to earn all of these lightning jades.
Suddenly, Lei Shiyi had a flash of inspiration. He seemed to have thought of something.
"I wonder if this Zhou Ming will accept the Immortal Emperor's Lightning Bone … That item is also useless to undead spirits like us. However, it is a supreme treasure to a small number of undead spirits who cultivate special body refining techniques …"
"This item is useless to me. It is useful to some undead spirits but those people can't afford it. That King Ying Long has his eyes on this item but he is reluctant to pay for it … If it's a normal transaction, why wouldn't I sell it to him? However, he just had to snatch it from me. Humph! I have never suffered a loss when doing business. How can I give him the lightning bone for nothing?! "
"This Zhou Ming still has 800 silver jades and 10 golden jades with him … Why don't I go all out and sell this lightning bone to him? There are two benefits to doing this. Firstly, King Ying Long will no longer have a reason to deal with me. Secondly … Hehe. I can earn all of Zhou Ming's lightning jades! With so many lightning jades, I can refine them into magic power. Even if I haven't attained the Late Void Refinement Realm yet, I can probably be considered as a top-notch expert among the Mid Void Refinement Realm experts! "
"The only thing I need to worry about is whether this Zhou Ming will buy this item or not …"
Lei Shiyi's eyes rolled around. Business is business. He really admired Ning Fan's character of fair dealing.
He decided to take out the lightning bone that he had been hiding and show it to Ning Fan. He wanted to see if this young man would buy it.
"I have a treasure that I need to take out and let Little Friend appreciate it. Little Feng Zi! Bring Little Friend Zhou to the Gold Grade Treasure Vault. You can sell all the goods including the forbidden items to Little Friend Zhou if he likes them. "
The person who was addressed as Little Feng Zi was naturally Chu Nanfeng.
Chu Nanfeng's face was filled with shock and disbelief!
The items in the Gold Grade Treasure Vault were the most precious supreme treasures. Even if a Void Inquiry Stage old monster came to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion, Lei Shiyi might not necessarily treat them well and bring them into the Gold Grade Treasure Vault.
Besides, Chu Nanfeng was a Void Glimpse Stage old monster after all. It was still acceptable for him to lead the way for a Void Inquiry Stage old monster but he actually led the way for a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator …
It was a little embarrassing …
"You're not willing to go?" Lei Shiyi's gaze darkened. He was usually perverted, but he was still very dignified during crucial moments.
"I wouldn't dare." Chu Nanfeng smiled bitterly. How would he dare to disobey Lei Shiyi's order?
"Don't worry, this old man knows what you're thinking. Isn't it just embarrassing to lead the way for a junior? Don't worry, this old man won't let you be the only one embarrassed. Little Yun, Little Yang, and the two of you, go together! The five of us will show Little Friend Zhou around the treasury! "Lei Shiyi said firmly.
"What?!"
The expressions of Mo Feiyun, Old Yang, and the others changed.
Five Void Glimpse Stage experts were leading the way for a Divine Transformation Realm junior. Weren't they giving him too much face?
No, that's not right.
The five of them gradually understood what was going on.
Lei Shiyi ordering the five of them to lead the way for Ning Fan did not seem to be as simple as treating him generously.
Yes, that must be the case! Lei Shiyi was afraid that Ning Fan would steal something so he ordered the five Early Void Refinement Realm experts to keep an eye on him!
But … how is this possible?!
Is it really necessary to use five Void Refinement Realm experts to keep an eye on a Divine Transformation Realm junior? Is Ning Fan really that powerful in Lei Shiyi's eyes?
The five of them looked at Ning Fan who was skinny and weak. They did not believe that Ning Fan could steal something under the nose of a Void Glimpse Stage old monster.
There was a Mortal Void Realm formation inside the Gold Grade Treasury. The light of the formation could seal the magic power of spiritual puppets. Even though Ning Fan had three Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppets, he could not use them in the treasury.
With Ning Fan's Half-Step Void Refinement Realm strength, would he need five Void Refinement Realm experts to keep an eye on him? Probably not. Chu Nanfeng alone is enough.
Is the pavilion master making a big fuss over a minor issue?
Without giving them a chance to refuse, Lei Shiyi left in a hurry. He was probably going to retrieve the Immortal Emperor Lightning Bone.
Chu Nanfeng and the other four old monsters exchanged glances with each other. Even though they could not bring themselves to lead the way for a junior, they did not dare to disobey Lei Shiyi's order.
They sighed inwardly. Fine. It's better to let the five of us lead the way for this junior. It's better to lose face together than to lose face alone.
"Little friend, we will lead you to the Gold Grade Treasury to have a look. With the pavilion master's order, as long as you have enough lightning jades, you can sell anything that catches your eye even if it's a forbidden item! "
"Forbidden item?" Ning Fan asked doubtfully.
"Hehe. To us undead spirits, there are many spiritual items and treasures that living people can devour and control. However, we can't use them. If we eat or use them incorrectly, we might suffer serious injuries from the backlash. For example, the Frozen Cloud Garlic. This item has the effect of healing injuries to living people. However, it is a first-class poison to us undead spirits. Once we consume it incorrectly, it will cause great damage to our bodies. All of these items are listed as forbidden items by the pavilion master. Normally, we won't sell them to undead spirits who don't know what they are. The pavilion master often says that undead spirits love money and they get it in the right way. The pavilion master won't sell immoral money. "
"Really?"
Ning Fan nodded his head slightly. This Lei Shiyi is rather interesting. Don't sell poisonous items to the undead spirits and don't make a fortune. Is this his principle of doing things?
However, why did they sell it to Ning Fan?
Did he have confidence in his judgment, or did he realize that he was a living person?
"I don't know … However, this Lei Shiyi is really cautious. He sent five Void Glimpse Stage experts to keep an eye on me. In that case, I have no choice but to give up on my plan to rob his treasure vault … Fine. It's also good to have a transaction where the goods and money are settled once in a while …"
The Gold Grade Treasury was heavily guarded by undead spirits.
As soon as these undead spirits saw Ning Fan, a stranger, approaching the treasure vault, they immediately raised their magic treasures and were on high alert.
When they took another look, they realized that there were actually five Void Glimpse Stage elders beside Ning Fan leading the way. Immediately, all of the experts kept their magic treasures and felt deep veneration towards Ning Fan.
Inwardly, they were guessing what kind of distinguished identity Ning Fan, who was just a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator, actually has to be able to make five Void Refinement Realm experts lead the way. What a great honor!
Could it be that Ning Fan is a cultivator of the high-grade lightning tower? A Late Void Refinement Realm or even Peak Void Refinement Realm background?
When they thought of this, none of them dared to look at Ning Fan disrespectfully anymore. They immediately made way for Ning Fan and his group, allowing them to enter the treasure vault.
The treasure vault was divided into four floors. On the first floor, there were many pills and magic treasures. All of them were treasures that Void Glimpse Stage cultivators would use.
On this floor, there was a Low Grade Mortal Void Formation Light. By borrowing the power of lightning, it could greatly restrain a cultivator's magic power. It was even more effective against corpse refinement puppets.
Before entering the formation light, Chu Nanfeng forced out a smile and introduced the treasure vault.
"The Gold Grade Treasury is equipped with layers upon layers of formations which can restrain all puppets to death. It is also quite effective against undead spirits like us. The treasure vault is divided into four floors. On the first floor, there is a Low Grade Mortal Void Formation Light. Even for a Void Glimpse Stage undead spirit like me, my magic power will be restricted by at least half. Erm … About this … There are some things that Little Friend should pay attention to … "
Chu Nanfeng's tone was slightly hesitant.
"Fellow Daoist, you don't have to hesitate. You can tell me directly if there is anything that I need to pay attention to."
"Hehe. It's not that I'm looking down on Fellow Daoist. However, Fellow Daoist only has a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivation base. I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand the formation light here. Before entering the formation, it's better for you to consume a protective pill to increase your defense."
"So, Fellow Daoist Chu is worried about this. Don't worry. Even though my cultivation base is weak, a mere formation light won't be able to hurt me. You don't have to consume the pill. "
Ning Fan glanced at the pill and his eyes flashed with a strange expression. To an undead spirit, this pill was indeed a protective pill. However, to a living person, it was a poison.
He was a living person. Of course, he would not be willing to consume poison.
Seeing Ning Fan refuse to consume the pill, Chu Nanfeng wore a faint smile on his face but inwardly, he was a little displeased.
He was kind enough to give Ning Fan a protective pill but Ning Fan rejected him arrogantly. Could it be that Ning Fan really thinks that he can withstand the Mortal Void Realm formation light with his mere Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivation base?
"Humph! When he suffers some injuries, he will certainly know how powerful this formation light is. Then, he will understand that I'm doing it out of kindness. "
Chu Nanfeng let out a cold snort inwardly. However, on the surface, he still put on an apologetic smile and continued.
"It's fine if Fellow Daoist refuses to accept the pill. However, if you get injured, it's definitely not my business. There's one more thing that I must remind Fellow Daoist. Just now, I've told you that the formation light here can restrain all spiritual puppets. Even though Fellow Daoist has three Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppets with you, you must not summon them in the treasure vault. Otherwise, the formation light will judge you as a thief and kill you. "
"Is that so? I'll keep this in mind. I won't summon my spiritual puppets in the treasure vault."
Ning Fan nodded his head. He had already given up on the idea of robbing the treasure vault. Thus, he naturally would not summon his spiritual puppets to fight them.
Besides, he was not worried that the five Void Glimpse Stage experts would lure him into the formation and plot against him.
This formation used the power of lightning to restrain the magic power of cultivators. Since he had condensed the Tai Su Lightning Star, he was naturally not afraid of the formation. He also had the Heaven Deceiving Cloak. If he insists on leaving, no one below the Void Fragmentation Realm could stop him. Thus, he did not need to worry about his safety.
"Alright. Since Little Friend has said so, I feel relieved. Little Friend, please! "
Chu Nanfeng took the lead and stepped into the first layer of the formation light with a single step. Immediately, the formation light swept towards him and turned into sizzling lightning. As soon as he was electrocuted, his body shuddered and his aura force was rapidly suppressed. In just a few breaths' time, his magic power was actually suppressed by nearly thirty percent!
Mo Feiyun and the others also stepped into the formation light one after another. Each of them had thirty to forty percent of their magic power suppressed.
The stronger one's magic power was, the lower the suppression would be. Even with the vigorous magic power of Void Refinement Realm cultivators, it was unavoidable for them to have thirty to forty percent of their magic power suppressed. If ordinary Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivators enter the formation light without taking protective pills, their magic power would be completely sealed and they would be severely injured by the formation light.
The five Void Glimpse Stage experts entered the formation one after another. All of their gazes fell upon Ning Fan.
Chu Nanfeng, in particular, wanted to see Ning Fan's appearance when he was injured by the backlash.
Young people were always very self-righteous. After suffering a setback, they would know that the advice of their seniors was unpleasant to the ears.
"Old Chu, this young man is the pavilion lord's guest after all. Even though he is a little arrogant, we can't really watch him get injured. Once this young man suffers from the backlash of the formation light, we will just let him suffer a little. Don't let him die in the treasure vault. "Mo Feiyun transmitted his voice to Chu Nanfeng to remind him.
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. How can I leave him in the lurch? I'm just weakening his spirit as a young man. It's also for his own good. "
Chu Nanfeng gently shook his head. He was not a narrow-minded person.
The gazes of the five old monsters were all focused on Ning Fan.
Ning Fan's eyes revealed a strange expression. With his intelligence, he naturally saw through the thoughts of the five of them.
Aren't these five old monsters too bored? They are actually waiting for him to suffer from the backlash of the formation light …
They are destined to be disappointed …
Ning Fan took a step into the formation light. The sizzling golden lightning immediately pressed down on him, as if a thousand mountains were falling down!
The tremendous momentum was enough to suppress all Divine Transformation Realm beings. Unless they are Void Refinement Realm beings, no one would be able to withstand the lightning in this place!
Lightning flashed on Ning Fan's glabella. A vast aura force rose in his eyes and he shouted.
"Get lost!"
With just that one word, all the golden lightning bolts in the sky hurriedly retreated as if they were afraid. None of them dared to attack Ning Fan!
At this moment, Ning Fan was like the lord of all lightning. None of them dared to hurt him!
An ancient and vicissitude aura force spread out from Ning Fan's eyes and inadvertently swept across the five Void Glimpse Stage experts.
All of a sudden, fear towards Ning Fan rose from the depths of the souls of the five lightning cultivators.
They could not understand! They could not understand why Ning Fan, who was just a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator, was unscathed after entering the Mortal Void Lightning Formation!
They could not understand! They could not understand why the aura force of Ning Fan's gaze was so strong that the five Void Glimpse Stage experts did not dare to look at him directly!
All of a sudden, none of them including Chu Nanfeng dared to look down on Ning Fan anymore.
No. Not only that. When Ning Fan's gaze swept across the five of them, intense fear rose in their hearts.
"This young man … is very dangerous! It's very necessary for the pavilion master to send the five of us to keep an eye on him! "
