After Ning Fan left, Yao Lian went to a certain forbidden area overnight to report what happened tonight to the Eight Ancestors.
What she did not know was that Ning Fan just pretended to leave and followed her in a stealthy manner. He spent the whole night frowning outside the small chiliocosm where the Eight Ancestors were hiding.
Ning Fan could not enter that small chiliocosm! Outsiders could only enter it under the guidance of the people inside.
Obviously, the Eight Ancestors would not guide Ning Fan into the small chiliocosm.
It was a top-secret forbidden area that was hidden in a dilapidated small chiliocosm.
The small chiliocosm was pitch-black. There was a vague flow of formation power. Nothing could be seen clearly.
The only thing that could be seen clearly was the eight gigantic stone pillars that were emitting a dim light in the darkness.
On each of the stone pillars, there was an expert with black shadows sitting in a meditative posture. Each of them had a vast qi. However, none of them were alive. It was extremely strange.
These eight people were the eight ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan who had fallen in the past. However, they were still living in this small chiliocosm in a strange manner!
Yao Lian's report did not attract the attention of the Eight Ancestors.
The two questions that Ning Fan asked Yao Lian did not contain any threat to the Giant Devil Clan. Moreover, Yao Lian did not reveal anything.
After a moment of silence, none of them held Ning Fan accountable. Only Ju Yan felt puzzled about this matter.
He had met Ning Fan once before. Even though it was just a quick glance, he was certain that Ning Fan was the same type of person as him. Ning Fan appeared to be broad-minded on the outside but was actually meticulous and good at scheming.
According to his understanding of Ning Fan, Ning Fan's action of interrogating Yao Lian tonight was very strange and illogical. As for Ning Fan, he would never do anything illogical. If he does something abnormal, it must be a demon.
Ju Yan had reminded Ning Fan not to interfere with Feng Xueyan's matter that day.
Ju Yan pondered for a moment … Today, Ning Fan really did not mention anything about Feng Xueyan when he interrogated Yao Lian … Did that young man really listen to his warning?
"If it's not for Yan Er, why did he go to find Yao Lian …" Ju Yan was puzzled. In the end, he put this matter to the back of his mind.
No matter what, he and the other seven ancestors still had important matters to deal with.
After all, Ning Fan did not touch the greatest secret of the Giant Devil Clan and he had done the Giant Devil Clan a favor. Ju Yan would not go so far as to plot against Ning Fan.
"Let's put Zhou Ming's matter aside. A mere Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator is not worth mentioning … Yao Lian, report what happened in the Pill Ceremony first …"
Beside Ju Yan, there was another old man with a black shadow. His aura was even vaster than Ju Yan's, and his voice was hoarse. There was a ghostly evil aura about him that made Evil Lotus feel extremely uncomfortable.
As soon as he spoke, the other seven Patriarchs all quieted down. This person was clearly the leader of the eight Patriarchs.
Evil Lotus immediately reported the various matters of the Pill Ceremony. The night passed peacefully.
Ning Fan returned to the west tower and sat cross-legged on the bed, sorting out his thoughts.
He had learned countless secrets from the heart of the evil lotus.
He knew how strong the Eight Ancestors were. Among them, there were six Void Inquiry Stage experts and two Void Pierce Stage experts. Ning Fan was not a match for them. This was undoubtedly bad news. If Ning Fan wants to save Feng Xueyan from the hands of the Eight Ancestors, he would need to possess greater strength.
Of course, there was also a piece of good news for him.
The Blood of Mo Luo within Feng Xueyan's body had completely condensed, and it would take at least ten years before he could extract her blood.
In other words, within ten years, Feng Xueyan would not be in any danger. Moreover, the Eight Ancestors would secretly protect her like a treasure.
However, ten years later, the Eight Ancestors would certainly take action against Feng Xueyan. At that time, unless Ning Fan's strength improves tremendously, he would not be able to save Feng Xueyan.
"Ten years, huh … Within ten years, the blood wine can be brewed. By then, I wonder if I can break through to the Void Refinement Realm in one go after consuming the blood wine … Attaining the Void Refinement Realm is too difficult. However, attaining the Golden Body Refining Realm is relatively easy. As long as I can find the remaining three devil slates and obtain three traces of devil qi, I am confident that I can attain the Golden Body Refining Realm within ten years!"
"No matter what, I can't call Feng Xueyan brother-in-law for nothing. I won't allow the Eight Ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan to touch her! "
Ning Fan remembered that the devil statue slate was currently in the hands of the Eight Ancestors. He wondered if he could get close to the slate and extract the devil qi from it …
"I can't enter the small chiliocosm where the Eight Ancestors live. I still need to think about this devil statue slate of the Giant Devil Clan … Now, my focus should be on improving my pill refinement mastery. If I want to improve my cultivation realm within ten years, my pill refinement mastery must not fall behind."
Ning Fan was well aware of the fact that he could live for a thousand years even though he had a notorious reputation.
His current strength had already made him famous in the Rain World. However, it was still not enough. It was far from enough!
He must possess the strength to trample over the entire Rain World. Only then could he stand shoulder to shoulder with Moksha Sovereign.
As the morning light shone through the curtains, Ning Fan went to look for his women one by one. After giving them some instructions, he asked Yue Lingkong to bring along the four mystical beasts and take care of their safety. As for himself, he began to prepare for the grand competition of the Pill Ceremony.
First of all, he must get into the top three of the Pill Ceremony and become one of the three pill refinement masters who will concoct pills for Feng Xueyan.
He was a little worried. He did not know what the so-called life-saving pill was. Thus, he must concoct the pill for Feng Xueyan personally in order to make sure that no one would harm her.
The Cold Northern Country was hosting the Pill Ceremony. Within that country, it was unknown how many famous pill refinement masters of the Rain World had gathered.
In the Eternal Peace Pavilion of the province, countless old monsters gathered there. They were buying, selling and exchanging pill recipes, spiritual medicines and many other items.
The Eternal Peace Pavilion was a business that belonged directly to the Giant Devil Clan. All the profits from the sale of spiritual medicines would belong to the clan.
In order to satisfy the needs of many pill refinement masters, the Eternal Peace Pavilion had purposely opened an additional floor for trading. Pill refinement masters were allowed to set up their own stalls there to purchase or sell pills and spiritual medicines.
As the Pill Ceremony was approaching, many pill refinement masters were purchasing spiritual medicines in preparation for the Pill Ceremony. Naturally, there were many old monsters who came to sell spiritual medicines, pill recipes and medicinal cauldrons.
Some precious spiritual medicines were not sold by anyone. Thus, pill refinement masters could only trade with each other. Perhaps the spiritual medicines that I lack are of little value to other pill refinement masters?
In just a few days, Ning Fan had traveled across seventy million li * (500m per li) of the Cold Northern Country.
A few days later, he arrived at the Eternal Peace Pavilion. Of course, he was there to purchase spiritual medicines.
Whether it was to prepare for the Pill Ceremony or to collect the main ingredients for the Revered Devil Pill that could improve one's body refinement realm, he had to come here to have a look.
In order to break through to the Golden Body Refining Realm as soon as possible, Ning Fan not only needed to collect the remaining three devil statue slates but also needed to concoct the Revered Devil Pill.
The Revered Devil Pill was a High Grade Fifth Revolution Devil Pill. With Ning Fan's pill refinement mastery, he could also concoct it.
However, he was still lacking three main ingredients. The ten thousand years old Ghost Aconite, ten thousand years old Purple Stone Ear and ten thousand years old Purple River Placenta.
Putting aside the Ghost Aconite and Purple Stone Ear, Ning Fan had also found some of them before. It was just that their age did not meet the requirement.
However, the ten thousand years old Purple River Placenta … The so-called Purple River Placenta was actually a placenta. It would only take shape after ten thousand years of nourishment by killing people using a secret technique of the devil path. The process was rather vicious.
In the eight hundred cultivation countries of the Rain World, the devil sects were already weak. Thus, the ten thousand years old Purple River Placenta had long gone extinct.
Even in the Endless Sea, a place where devil cultivators ran rampant, it was rare to find a ten thousand years old Purple River Placenta.
As soon as Ning Fan arrived at the Eternal Peace Pavilion, he was immediately received by the pavilion master himself.
The pavilion master was a Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. In the Giant Devil Clan, he was also considered as a person with a high status. He had already witnessed Ning Fan trampling on Shi Kun and saving the giant devil clan. Thus, he admired Ning Fan a lot.
Moreover, he had also received an order from Ju Qing that once Ning Fan comes to the Eternal Peace Pavilion to purchase treasures, he could directly take away whatever he likes without charging a single cent.
Compared to the kindness of saving an entire clan, what were mere treasures worth?
The pavilion master told Ning Fan about Ju Qing's good intentions. Ning Fan nodded his head and did not say anything else. If he sees something that he is satisfied with, he would immediately take it away. He would not be courteous with the Giant Devil Clan.
The Eternal Peace Pavilion had five floors. The first floor sold pills, the second floor sold pill cauldrons, the third floor sold pill recipes and the fourth floor sold spiritual herbs. The fifth floor was a temporary trading pavilion for pill refinement masters. It allowed cultivators to set up their stalls and trade on their own.
The pavilion master brought Ning Fan to visit the first four floors. Along the way, all the cultivators they met bowed respectfully to Ning Fan when they saw him. Then, they hurriedly excused themselves. Their faces were filled with humility and respect.
Ning Fan's infamy was too terrifying. How could ordinary cultivators dare to provoke him? They did not even dare to have the slightest relationship with him.
Ning Fan did not care about the reverence of these cultivators at all.
The pills in the Eternal Peace Pavilion did not interest him at all. As for the pill cauldrons, most of them were far superior to the Dan Fragmentation Cauldron in the past. However, as a Fifth Revolution Pill Master, Ning Fan could condense a cauldron using his spirit intent. Pill cauldrons were dispensable. Thus, he did not buy them.
As for the pill recipes, he did not hold back. He took a fancy to several Fourth and Fifth Revolution pill recipes. Without hesitation, the pavilion master directly asked someone to engrave their names on them and gave them to Ning Fan.
On the fourth floor, Ning Fan found the ten thousand years old Ghost Aconite and the ten thousand years old Purple Stone Ear.
To Ning Fan, it was a good thing that he could find the two main ingredients of the Revered Devil Pill.
Ning Fan asked for all of the two types of ten thousand years old spiritual herbs in the Eternal Peace Pavilion. There were 14 tufts of Ghost Aconite and 17 tufts of Purple Stone Ear.
These spiritual herbs were extremely valuable. However, the Eternal Peace Pavilion naturally did not dare to collect money from Ning Fan.
After walking through the first four floors, Ning Fan still wanted to go to the fifth floor. The fifth floor was a place where cultivators traded on their own. Even if the pavilion master follows him there, he would not be able to provide much help. Thus, he took his leave first.
Ning Fan walked to the fifth floor alone. On the fifth floor, there was an extremely spacious main hall.
The main hall could accommodate ten thousand people. There were hundreds of shops on all four sides of the hall. Each of the shops was guarded by a pill refinement master. Some of them were hanging wooden signs outside the shops to purchase some spiritual herbs. Some of them were filled with spiritual herbs and pill recipes, waiting for customers to trade with them.
On the fifth floor, there was a group of devil guards of the Giant Devil Clan. There were more than a hundred of them and each of their qi was profound and vast.
The leader of the devil guards was a Late Divine Transformation Realm burly man. His vast aura force deterred each of the pill refinement masters who were trading with him. He did not allow anyone to snatch treasures or kill in this place.
A Late Divine Transformation Realm old monster was a peak expert in the Endless Sea.
The eyes of the leader of the devil guards were filled with arrogance. His cold gaze swept across the surroundings. Even the pill refinement masters who had their eyes on the top of their heads felt a little suffocated when his gaze landed on them. They did not dare to look him in the eye.
"This man's gaze is really sharp! Who is he?! "A pill refinement master who came from the eight hundred cultivation countries asked in a low voice.
"Fellow Daoist, you might not know this but he is the commander of the Death Devil Guards, the strongest devil guard among the 'Eight Gates Devil Guards' of the Giant Devil Clan. His name is Commander Death Devil … Rumor has it that he is extremely strong. He had once killed a Late Divine Transformation Realm cultivator who is at the same level as him …" Another old monster explained.
"W-What?! This man can even kill a Late Divine Transformation Realm cultivator? We are selling spiritual herbs here. We must not offend this man. A Late Divine Transformation Realm cultivator is as rare as a phoenix feather and a unicorn horn in the Rain World! "
Many pill refinement masters looked at Commander Death Devil with instinctive respect.
Commander Death Devil's cultivation base was extremely strong. He was cold and bloodthirsty. No one dared to offend him. Even some Divine Transformation Realm old monsters were not willing to offend him.
Many pill refinement masters greeted Commander Death Devil but all of them were chased away by him coldly. He was cold and unapproachable.
However, when Ning Fan appeared on the fifth floor, Commander Death Devil who was wearing a cold expression suddenly wore a respectful expression. He knelt down in front of Ning Fan with respect that came from the bottom of his heart.
"The commander of the Death Devil Guards, Death Devil, greets Venerated Ming! Thank you for saving me, Giant Devil Clan! "
As soon as he knelt down, the one hundred devil guards behind him also knelt down and paid their respects to Ning Fan.
"There's no need to be so courteous." Ning Fan nodded his head with a calm expression.
The scene of a dignified Late Divine Transformation Realm old monster kneeling down in front of someone shocked countless people.
When their eyes fell on Ning Fan, they were immediately shocked. They immediately understood why Death Devil who had always been cold would be so respectful to Ning Fan.
Some young pill refinement masters who had just entered the Cold Northern Country and did not know Ning Fan's appearance were extremely shocked.
"Who is this white-robed young man? He can actually make a Late Divine Transformation Realm cultivator kneel down in front of him! "
"What? You don't even know him?! He is Zhou Ming! He is the one who killed the country lord of Shi Le Country! "
"What?! He is Zhou Ming? He is so young! He is only five hundred years old but he can already kill a Void Glimpse Stage expert! "
Voices of astonishment spread across the fifth floor.
At this moment, some pill masters who did not know Ning Fan remembered Ning Fan's appearance and reminded themselves in their hearts that they must never provoke this person.
In a spiritual herb shop, an old Daoist wearing a tattered robe revealed a playful look in his eyes.
His whole body was dirty and his white hair and beard were messy. He looked like a slovenly man. There was a Third Revolution badge of the Rain Palace hanging on his chest. He seemed to have come from the eight hundred cultivation countries.
His cultivation level seemed to be at the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, but it was a little weak. There were good and bad spirit medicines that he sold, but they were all extremely expensive, so no one was interested in them.
"This kid has the Immortal Fire Body? En … his medicine soul isn't weak and is at the High Grade of the Fifth Revolution. However, his Dao of Alchemy seems to be rather heterogeneous. River Dao, Three Purities Dao, Blazing Blood Dao … This kid has a lot of them but isn't proficient in them. If he wants to reach the Sixth Revolution, he is still lacking a lot … "
The old Daoist muttered to himself and shook his head. It was as if Ning Fan's Dao of Pill Refinement was not worth mentioning in his eyes.
However, his cloudy eyes suddenly quivered, as if he had sensed something from Ning Fan's body. Then, a ray of light flashed across his eyes.
His aura was no weaker than a Taixu Old Monster, but no one noticed it!
"This is … the Black Demon Flame!"
