Ning Fan's mind raced. Is the Pill Sovereign going to teach me the basic usage of his medicine soul?
He had learned this technique from Xi Ran a long time ago to use his medicine soul to break the disguise of a spiritual herb.
Everyone knew this technique. The Pill Sovereign probably wouldn't just teach him this.
Ning Fan took a few steps forward and picked up the ten thousand years old human placenta to take a closer look. Then, he subconsciously frowned.
No. This one doesn't look like a ten thousand years old human placenta …
Ning Fan spread his dark green medicine soul. The medicine qi in his palm trembled and the ten thousand years old human placenta slowly turned into a Nine Nether Orchid.
It was just an ordinary ganoderma in the beginning. It was not the true form of a spiritual herb.
The ten thousand years old human placenta was also not the true form. This Nine Nether Orchid was the true form!
Ning Fan suddenly understood that the spiritual herbs on the floor were indeed disguised. However, there was definitely more than one layer of disguise.
For example, this Nine Nether Orchid had disguised itself twice … Unless his medicine soul was strong enough, Ning Fan would definitely think that it was a ten thousand years old human placenta.
Once the wrong herb is used as a concoction ingredient, the medicinal effect of the concocted pill and whether it would be poisonous would be unimaginable.
As a pill refinement master, one must be extremely cautious when choosing medicinal herbs!
Seeing that Ning Fan seemed to have understood something, the Pill Sovereign nodded his head in satisfaction and guided him.
"The first use of the medicine soul is to see through the disguise of spiritual herbs. Even ants try to survive, let alone spiritual herbs of heaven and earth. In order to protect themselves, some spiritual herbs even have more than one layer of disguise. Therefore, you must never use spiritual herbs that are beyond your medicine soul's ability to identify in pill refinement. You will never know if that spiritual herb is what you need or not! Catch! "
After the Pill Sovereign finished guiding Ning Fan, he suddenly pointed his finger. His dark purple medicine soul turned into a ray of light and shot into Ning Fan's glabella.
Ning Fan was slightly stunned but he did not resist. He knew that the Pill Sovereign was imparting his technique to him. The ray of light melted into his Sea of Consciousness and immediately turned into a voice that transmitted his technique.
"Diviners cultivate the Heavenly Eye to peer into the Heavenly Dao and predict the future for a thousand years. It is called the 'Heavenly Eye'. Formation Masters cultivate the Earth Eye to go against the general trend and move mountains and seas. It is called the 'Earth Eye'. Pill Masters cultivate the Human Eye to see through the truth and illusion. The Dao points to the human heart. Without the Heavenly Eye, one cannot be called a Heavenly Master; without the Human Eye, one cannot be called a Heavenly Master. This old man will help you open the eyes of a Daoist Master. This can be counted as the first time I've imparted the technique! "
Traces of mysterious incantations turned into the voice of the Great Dao and resounded in Ning Fan's Sea of Consciousness.
Ning Fan closed his eyes and concentrated on circulating his cultivation technique. All of a sudden, he felt a sharp pain on his glabella. A vertical eye was torn open.
Streaks of dark green medicinal light flowed within the vertical eye.
Ning Fan was slightly stunned. Then, he understood what was going on. He cultivated the Devil Luo Dharma Image. The Pill Sovereign had developed the Ghost Eye, one of the four images of Devil Luo, into the Enlightened Being's Eye.
When he opened his eyes, he slowly hid them, not revealing them.
However, after opening the Third Mortal Eye, Ning Fan felt that the eyesight of his left and right eyes had greatly improved. Moreover, there was medicinal qi circulating in his eyes, allowing him to see through the authenticity of spiritual herbs.
His gaze lightly swept across the medicine shop. Two rays of dark green light shot out from his eyes, and like thunderbolts, they struck the spirit herbs one by one.
One by one, the spiritual herbs broke through their disguises. Other than the three tufts of one hundred thousand years old spiritual herbs which Ning Fan could not see through, he could even see through the disguises of fifty thousand years old spiritual herbs.
Ordinary Fifth Revolution Pill Masters could see through the disguises of spiritual herbs by covering their eyes with their medicine soul. However, how could such a small trick be more powerful than the Human Eye?
Ning Fan took a deep breath. After breaking through the disguises of the spiritual herbs in the shop, he found fifteen tufts of genuine ten thousand years old human placenta. However, he did not go to take them. Instead, he turned around and bowed respectfully to the Pill Sovereign.
"Thank you for teaching me the technique, Senior Li!"
"Hehe. You are a promising child. If it wasn't because you have cultivated the Ghost Eye of the Ghost Eye Clan, I wouldn't have been able to help you open the Human Eye so easily. After opening the Human Eye, with the strength of your medicine soul now, you will be able to identify fifty thousand years old spiritual herbs. Take these ten thousand years old human placenta. Later on, I will teach you a technique called 'Battle Soul Technique' which I found by chance from an ancient book. After that, I will also give you an opportunity … "
The Pill Sovereign nodded slightly, signaling Ning Fan to go and get the spiritual herbs.
Ning Fan knew that the Pill Sovereign wanted to give him some spiritual herbs. Thus, he did not decline the offer. He really needed the ten thousand years old human placenta.
However, just as he turned around and before he could take the ten thousand years old human placenta, the domineering voice of a young man resounded from outside the medicine shop.
"Oh? I didn't expect that a medicine shop opened by a mere Third Revolution Pill Master would actually have so many ten thousand years old, fifty thousand years old and one hundred thousand years old spiritual herbs! Good! Good! I am going to buy all the spiritual herbs in this medicine shop! Han Ba, you can clear the shop now! "
"Yes!"
Outside the shop, a black-robed young man with evil eyes gave an order. His tone was as if he was going to buy the entire medicine shop, not allowing anyone to buy the medicinal herbs in it.
This young man had an Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base. Medicinal qi was flowing around his body. He seemed to be a pill refinement master of an inferior grade.
As soon as he gave the order, a two zhang * tall malicious ghost wearing black armor immediately walked out from behind him. Both of his legs were dragging heavy chains. He answered and strode into the medicine shop. His ghostly hand reached out to grab Ning Fan, as if he wanted to throw him out of the medicine shop.
The strength of that grab was already at the First Level of the Golden Body Realm. It was comparable to a Void Glimpse Stage attack!
"Brat, you can get lost now! All the medicinal herbs in this medicine shop have been bought by the young lord of my Ghost Eye Clan. It's not something you can touch! "
Ning Fan's eyes darkened when he saw the ghostly claw coming at him.
Obviously, this so-called young lord of the Ghost Eye Clan and the black-armored malicious ghost that he brought with him did not know Ning Fan.
Otherwise, with Ning Fan's current ferocious reputation, how would they dare to attack him?
Before the ghostly claw could reach him, Ning Fan moved at lightning speed and grabbed the malicious ghost's wrist. Without showing any mercy, he forcefully tore off one of the malicious ghost's ghostly hands.
The malicious ghost was in great pain. Out of fear, he directly jumped out of the medicine shop and stared at Ning Fan with cold eyes.
This scene deeply shocked the black-robed young man!
He was the dignified young lord of the Ghost Eye Clan. As for this malicious ghost, Han Ba, he was the personal guard that the clan leader of the Ghost Eye Clan assigned to him. He had a body refinement cultivation base at the First Level of the Golden Body Realm. He was extremely strong. He could even fight a Void Glimpse Stage old monster without losing.
With the strength of his physical body, the strength of his ghostly claw could tear the body of any Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert to pieces.
The black-robed young man could clearly see that Ning Fan's cultivation base was at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm. By right, Han Ba should have thrown him out of the medicine shop.
Unexpectedly, Ning Fan's strength was far beyond the black-robed young man's imagination. With just a casual attack, he directly tore off Han Ba's arm …
The black-robed young man could not believe it. Could it be that Ning Fan's body refinement cultivation base is even stronger than Han Ba's at the First Level of the Golden Body Realm?
"Detestable! Who is this person? He is just five hundred years old but he actually has such terrifying strength! I have been in seclusion for one hundred years in the medicine tower of my clan and have never cared about worldly affairs. This is my first time leaving the clan. How did I offend such a strong enemy?! Humph. Let's find out more about this person! "
The black-robed young man gritted his teeth and immediately took a few steps back with the malicious ghost, Han Ba. They stared at Ning Fan with great fear.
Even though his eyes were filled with hatred for Ning Fan for injuring his guard, he did not dare to show it too much. He just cupped his fists and said coldly.
"I'm the young lord of the Ghost Eye Clan, Gui Han. Your strength is terrifying. Aren't you going to give me an explanation for destroying my guard's arm?!"
"The young lord of the Ghost Eye Clan …" Ning Fan frowned. He naturally knew how strong the Ghost Eye Clan was. The Ghost Eye Clan's foundation was not weaker than the Zhou Clan.
The fact that Gui Han ordered his guard to attack Ning Fan really displeased Ning Fan. However, if he kills the young lord of the Ghost Eye Clan in front of so many people, he would certainly become a sworn enemy of the Ghost Eye Clan.
Ning Fan had yet to solve the problem of the Giant Devil Clan. Thus, he did not want to provoke the Ghost Eye Clan at this moment.
However, Ning Fan was not afraid of the Ghost Eye Clan. If this young lord of the Ghost Eye Clan still doesn't know what's good for him, he would not mind teaching him a lesson.
"I'm Zhou Ming. I don't have an explanation for you. Get lost!"
The word 'get lost' carried a terrifying baleful qi that shocked all the cultivators on the fifth floor of the Eternal Peace Pavilion.
Under Ning Fan's baleful qi and devil might, Gui Han and Han Ba's breathing became sluggish. Their minds were in a mess and their eyes were filled with shock.
Not only were they shocked by Ning Fan's strength, but they were also shocked by his name.
"What?! He's Zhou Ming whom my father warned us not to offend! "Gui Han gritted his teeth. After knowing Ning Fan's name, his arrogance could not help but weaken.
Gui Han had a respectable status in the Ghost Eye Clan. Who would dare to tell him to get lost?
However, at this moment, he was afraid of Ning Fan's power but he did not dare to not get lost. He had a feeling that Ning Fan would directly kill him if he doesn't know what's good for him!
Damn it! Damn it! Could it be that one of Han Ba's arms is going to be broken just like this? Am I going to swallow this anger just like this?
"Young Lord, the situation is not as good as you. Just bear with it for now. If there's a chance in the future, we will take revenge!" Han Ba transmitted his voice to him with a gloomy expression.
"Alright!"
Gui Han snorted coldly, then turned around and left with Hanba.
Ning Fan's eyes turned slightly cold. He did not put a mere Gui Han in his eyes at all. If they dare to provoke him again, they would certainly die the next time.
Even though Ning Fan did not attack them, it did not mean that Gui Han and Han Ba could leave as they please.
The Pill Sovereign's slightly surprised eyes turned slightly cold. Even though he had always been magnanimous, he would not sit and watch when someone attacked the disciple of his old friend.
"Did I allow you two to leave? Do you think you can just leave without paying a price for creating trouble in my medicine shop? "
"What?!"
Gui Han and Han Ba stopped in their tracks and turned their heads to look at the Pill Sovereign with cold killing intent.
"Interesting! Interesting! It's fine if it's Zhou Ming but a mere Nascent Soul Realm pill refinement master actually dares to be rude to me! Do you think you are worthy enough to make me pay a price? Humph! You're courting death! Han Ba, kill him! "
"Yes!"
Han Ba's eyes were filled with ferocity as if he wanted to vent all his anger from being injured by Ning Fan on the old Daoist in front of him.
In his eyes, he could crush countless Nascent Soul Realm old Daoist with just a finger. Thus, he naturally would not put him in his eyes.
Han Ba did not realize that the person he had offended this time was much more terrifying than Ning Fan!
The Pill Sovereign glanced at Ning Fan and said indifferently.
"Now, I will teach you a Battle Soul Technique – Soul Palm Imprint!"
All of a sudden, countless dark purple medicine soul power spread out from the Pill Sovereign's body like a violent gale. It turned into a huge dark purple palm imprint and slammed down on Han Ba.
* Boom *
The power of that palm was as light as a feather before it was unleashed. However, when it landed, it was as heavy as Mount Tai. It directly smashed Han Ba into meat paste, killing him instantly.
The control of the power of that palm was extremely precise. Not a single bit of it was wasted. After killing Han Ba, the palm imprint immediately dissipated without harming a single blade of grass or tree in the Eternal Peace Pavilion.
The palm attack of the Pill Sovereign had shocked countless cultivators. Those with discerning eyes could tell that the power of that palm attack was extremely terrifying. It was clearly the power of a Void Fragmentation Realm attack!
Those cultivators who were knowledgeable could even tell that this palm attack did not use any magic power or spirit sense power. Instead, it condensed the unique medicine soul of a pill refinement master into a palm imprint. It could kill a person without spilling blood. It was the unique Battle Soul Technique of the Rain World's Pill Sovereign!
Battle Soul! Using medicine soul to fight is the Battle Soul!
The casual way he killed a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator with a palm attack and the dark purple medicine soul of a Peak Sixth Revolution Pill Sovereign.
Even a cultivator like Gui Han who had lived in seclusion for a hundred years would not be unable to recognize who this old Daoist was.
"D-Pill Sovereign! This old Daoist is actually the Pill Sovereign of the Rain World! It's fine if I offended Zhou Ming but today, I actually offended such a powerful figure! I have caused a great disaster for the Ghost Eye Clan! "
Gui Han knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Even though he was extremely arrogant, he deeply understood that the Pill Sovereign was not someone he could afford to offend … He did not dare to complain about the fact that the Pill Sovereign had killed Han Ba with a palm attack.
This time, he had really stepped on an iron plate …
"Tell Marquis You Gui! Zhou Ming is half a disciple of mine. I won't ask about the grudge between the Ghost Eye Clan and the Zhou Clan. However, if the Ghost Eye Clan dares to hurt my disciple … I will definitely wash the Ghost Eye Clan with blood! "
* Hiss *
The Pill Sovereign's cold shout echoed across the entire Cold Northern Country within seventy million li * (500m per li). His powerful Void Fragmentation Realm aura force enveloped the entire country.
At this moment, countless cultivators raised their heads in disbelief!
What did they just hear? The Pill Sovereign, Li Cangtian, actually appeared in the Cold Northern Country. Moreover, he even issued a death order to the Ghost Eye Clan to protect Ning Fan?
In the Giant Devil Broken World, the Eight Ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan were all shocked.
"Pill Sovereign! Why did he come to my Giant Devil Clan?! "
That one sentence revealed the Pill Sovereign's determination to protect Ning Fan.
This determination was different from the Rain Palace using Ning Fan and the Zhou Clan calling him a friend. This sentence was to treat Ning Fan as their reverse scale.
No one was allowed to touch Ning Fan!
This order was even more frightening than Yun Tianjue's. Yun Tianjue just expressed some goodwill towards Ning Fan. As for the Pill Sovereign, he directly addressed Ning Fan as half a disciple.
Whoever injured the disciple of the Pill Sovereign would die!
From today onwards, even the Void Fragmentation Realm experts of the Rain World would not dare to touch him casually.
Naturally, there were also people who heard the name 'You Gui Hou' from the Pill Sovereign's words.
Marquis You Gui? Isn't he the Void Fragmentation Realm expert who was suppressed by the Thunder Sovereign ten thousand years ago … Could it be that he is still alive?
Countless cultivators swarmed towards the Eternal Peace Pavilion, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Alchemy Sovereign's elegance and friendship.
The Alchemy Sovereign frowned slightly. He did not like these cultivators who fawned on the rich and powerful.
With a flick of his sleeve, a dark purple medicine soul spread out, carrying Ning Fan and the spiritual herbs in the shop and disappeared without a trace.
Only the countless onlookers and Gui Han, who was kneeling on the ground, were left.
At this moment, Gui Han was terrified. He did not have the usual arrogance of a young master.
I'm finished. I'm finished … I've offended Ning Fan and now I've offended the Pill Sovereign …
If his father knew about this, he would definitely skin him alive!
"Why?! Why is this Zhou Ming so lucky to be able to become half a disciple of the Pill Sovereign and receive his protection and teachings? Why?! "
At this moment, Gui Han was filled with hatred and jealousy towards Ning Fan. However, he did not dare to offend Ning Fan, let alone take revenge.
Even if he were to die, he would not dare to touch Ning Fan. Otherwise, the Pill Sovereign would flatten the Ghost Eye Clan!
…
On the peak of a desolate snowy mountain, a dark purple light flashed. The Pill Sovereign and Ning Fan appeared one after another.
"Thank you for your help, Senior!"
Ning Fan's gratitude towards the Pill Sovereign came from the bottom of his heart.
He had been seeking all kinds of protection. It was not to protect himself but to protect the woman behind him.
With the order given by the Pill Sovereign today, no one in the entire Rain World would dare to be hostile towards Ning Fan, let alone the Ghost Eye Clan.
Yun Tianjue might be more infamous than the Pill Sovereign. However, one should not forget that the Pill Sovereign was a pill refinement master who was close to attaining the Seventh Revolution.
Not to mention the Void Fragmentation Realm of the Rain World, even the Void Fragmentation Realm experts of the other nine worlds would have to give the Pill Sovereign face. Once the Pill Sovereign is enraged, he could hire countless helpers to fight for him.
"Hehe. It's just a small matter …" The Pill Sovereign waved his hand disapprovingly. Suddenly, his expression turned serious and he asked to test Ning Fan. "Did you see my Soul Palm Imprint clearly?"
"Yes, I did." Ning Fan nodded his head. The dark green medicine soul in his body suddenly shone brightly, turning into a gigantic dark green palm imprint. Then, he slammed it towards a snowy mountain in the distance.
That palm imprint was equivalent to the attack of a Late Divine Transformation Realm expert. It could flatten a mountain.
"Not bad. It's really not bad. Your innate talent is really good. Old Man Han's eyes are always much sharper than ordinary people … "
The Pill Sovereign sighed softly as if it was a pity that he could not accept Ning Fan as his disciple.
Then, he shook his head and continued.
"I once obtained an ancient scroll which recorded thirty-six forms of Soul Palm Imprint. It's called 'Heavenly Dipper Imprint'. It's a method that uses the medicine soul to fight. It's called the Battle Soul Technique."
"You have a lot of magic techniques and you don't lack the Battle Soul Technique. The reason why I taught you this technique is not to kill but to protect yourself. When pill refinement masters are concocting pills, they must use all their magic power and spirit sense. Besides, they can't move their bodies easily. This Battle Soul Technique was created by some pill refinement masters in ancient times. It's used to protect oneself when one is concocting pills to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation. When you are concocting pills, if someone tries to ambush you, you can directly condense your medicine soul into a palm and slap it. That way, you can protect yourself. "
"Thank you for teaching me this technique, Senior!"
Ning Fan nodded his head. Just like what the Pill Sovereign had said, it was important for pill refinement masters to protect themselves when they are concocting pills.
It was impossible for Ning Fan to hide in a secluded place every time he was concocting pills. It was also impossible for him to ask the spiritual puppets to protect him all the time.
For example, he would be concocting pills in public during the Pill Ceremony this time. If there were too many people who had nothing to do and someone attacks him while he was concocting pills, he would not need to use his magic power and spirit sense to block the attack. He could just condense his medicine soul into a palm to defend himself.
This was a method to protect himself and it was most suitable to be used during pill concoction.
Today, the Pill Sovereign had not only helped Ning Fan awaken his Human Eye but also improved his ability to identify spiritual herbs.
He also taught Ning Fan a Heavenly Dipper Imprint which could help him protect himself during pill concoction.
Other than that, the Pill Sovereign also wanted to give Ning Fan a great opportunity.
The Pill Sovereign clenched his five fingers. Traces of ancient yet gentle Divine Intent of Wood slowly condensed into a gigantic cauldron made of green wood which sat on the peak of the snowy mountain.
This gigantic cauldron was condensed from the Pill Sovereign's divine intent.
This gigantic cauldron had accompanied the Pill Sovereign for countless years of pill concoction. Therefore, it was stained with a thick layer of medicine qi.
"Ning Fan, I have promised your master that I will guide you three times in pill refinement. Everything that I have taught you today will only be counted as one. I have helped you awaken your Human Eye and imparted you the Heavenly Dipper Imprint. Now, I will also give you a good fortune … There is less than a month before the first round of the Pill Ceremony. During this period of time, I will pave the way for you to attain the Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm! Hehe. Are you willing to accept my kind offer …? "
"This junior is willing!" Ning Fan was not pretentious and said straightforwardly.
"Alright! This' Divine Wood King Cauldron 'is a cauldron of divine intent that I condensed. It has accumulated a thick layer of medicine qi along with my pill concoction. You can go and absorb the medicine qi within it to nourish your medicine soul. The more medicine qi you can absorb, the more your medicine soul will improve. "
"Of course, not only do I hope that you can absorb the medicine qi, but I also hope that you can comprehend your own 'natal pill cauldron' from my pill cauldron. I can tell that you have yet to truly condense a natal pill cauldron because you have never had a master to guide you before. I am really surprised that you can reach where you are today by exploring your own path. "
"I still have two 'Ming Luo Fruits' here. Adding them together, you can enter a dream for one hundred years. Later, I will guide you in your cultivation for one hundred years in the dream."
"This is my first time seriously guiding a junior. I hope you can cherish this opportunity."
The Pill Sovereign said sincerely.
"This junior will certainly not disappoint Senior."
Ning Fan cupped his fists to express his gratitude. Then, he walked towards the gigantic cauldron while the Pill Sovereign's advice resounded in his ears.
"Place your palm on the body of the cauldron. Open your medicine soul and absorb the medicine qi within the cauldron. With the strength of your High Grade Fifth Revolution medicine soul, you can be considered as an outstanding person if you can absorb one-tenth of the medicine qi in the cauldron."
"One-tenth, huh …?" Ning Fan's eyes were filled with battle intent. He wanted to absorb more medicine qi so that his High Grade Fifth Revolution medicine soul could break through to the Peak Grade Fifth Revolution in one go!
