In the Inner Mountain, the 160 cultivators who had passed the assessment followed the deacons into the Inner Mountain and headed towards the forbidden area.
One only needed to have an Inner Mountain Pass to enter the Inner Mountain. As for the Inner Disciple Passage Medallion, it could actually be purchased. It only required five hundred Immortal Jades.
Ning Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If he knew that it was so easy to enter the Inner Mountain Pass, he wouldn't have to take the risk.
Each disciple was given a temporary pass that could only be used once. With this pass, they could enter the Inner Mountain once and participate in the second assessment.
500 immortal jades to buy a permanent Inner Mountain Pass was an expensive price for an ordinary Vein Opening disciple, but it was nothing to a tycoon like Ning Fan who had hundreds of thousands of immortal jades.
After this assessment, it would be better to go to the sect to buy a pass.
Along the way, more or less, the cultivators in the group looked at Ning Fan with strange eyes. Some were disdainful and some were greedy. Since these people came to learn the Evil Dao, they naturally weren't good people. Many of them had their eyes on Ning Fan's Dual Cultivation Method. Even the arrogant Lu Zi Qiao had secretly threatened Ning Fan.
Give me a copy of your cultivation method. If you dare to refuse, I will make you regret it after entering the Demon Sinister Forest.
Ning Fan only sneered at Lu Zi Qiao's threat. He was an intermediate Harmonious Spirit expert and his combat power was enough to kill an early Gold Core expert. Why would he be afraid of a fourth level Vein Opening Lu Zi Qiao? Was he too low-key that these ants thought that he was easy to bully?
In the dark, there were countless hidden eyes with Harmonious Spirit spirit sense secretly looking at Ning Fans. Ning Fans frowned in response to this.
He could ignore Lu Zi Qiao, but he couldn't ignore these Harmonious Spirit elders. It would be troublesome if he was targeted by them. If they were playing dirty, Ning Fan wasn't so confident that he could see through their evil tricks every time.
'Shock … I have to shock these old things.' It was too greedy to do it one or two times.
Since he couldn't keep a low profile from the beginning, it was not a bad idea to be high-profile. As long as it could help solve the problem, Ning Fan didn't mind being high-profile.
At the back of the inner mountain, there was a gloomy forest sealed by a formation. It was the second assessment venue – Demon Sinister Forest.
The higher ups of Sinister Sparrow Sect had no choice but to pay attention to the second assessment. There was even a Golden Core Elder who came to watch.
The Demon Sinister Sinister Forest was gloomy and damp. Indistinctly, the sound of ghosts' resentment could be heard. Outside the Demon Sinister Sinister Forest, an entire troop of Sinister Sparrow Sect's Eagle Guards was stationed.
Ning Fan closed his eyes and released his spirit sense. He wanted to probe into the formation but to no avail.
The Demon Sinister Forest was indeed cold, but it was completely different from the Xuan Yin Qi. Ning Fan frowned. Could it be that the Profound Yin Qi wasn't in the Demon Sinister Forest?
If that was the case, he would have to return empty-handed from the Demon Sinister Forest.
He retracted his gaze and looked at the 500 Eagle Guards of Sinister Sparrow Sect. His eyes lit up. These guards were all at least at the sixth level of the Vein Opening Realm. The array they were practicing seemed to be some kind of ancient array. The battle prowess of the Eagle Guard was no weaker than the Apricot Guard. In fact, they could even compete with the Sword Guard.
Sinister Sparrow Sect did not seem to be as simple as it looked. Perhaps, those who were able to establish a sect in Yue Country were not simple people.
While Ning Fan was observing the Eagle Guards, the Gold Core Elder Xu Rou who was standing at the front of the Eagle Guards frowned at Ning Fan.
Xu Rou knew Ning Fan's true identity. He was the disciple of the Old Monster, the great grandson of the Lord of Ning City.
Xu Rou had some friendship with the Old Monster, but she was a little worried when she looked at Ning Fan. She probed with her spirit sense and sensed more than ten Harmonious Spirit spirit senses locking onto Ning Fans body.
What is wrong with this brat? Why are there so many old monsters eyeing him as soon as he entered the sect? Really, he loves to cause trouble just like Old Man Han. Should I help him?
Xu Rou knew that Ning Fan was an intermediate Harmonious Spirit expert. She also heard that Ning Fan's dual cultivation technique was powerful enough to shatter the crystal, but all of this was natural to her.
A technique that could shatter the crystal was at least a Nascent Soul technique. It wasn't strange for Ning Fan to have such a technique. With the Old Monster's wealth as a Third Revolution Dan Master, it wasn't easy for him to get a Nascent Soul technique, but it wasn't hard either.
Moreover, Ning Fan was able to break through to intermediate Harmonious Spirit at the tender age of 17. With such a fast progress, it was only reasonable for him to cultivate a dual cultivation technique.
The only thing that puzzled Xu Rou was that the Old Monster was a person with eyes above his head. Why would he teach his disciple a dual cultivation technique? Dual cultivation technique was the most hopeless technique among all the evil techniques. It was extremely fast in the beginning, but later on, it would become more difficult to cultivate. There would be more bottlenecks, and the magical power would be superficial, resulting in a low combat power.
However, Xu Rou didn't have time to care about Ning Fan, but someone else did.
Li Zhihuan, the young master of the Li Family who was the cultivator of the Body Seizing Devil Cultivation Method, quietly approached Ning Fan and whispered.
Brother Ning, I'm afraid you are in trouble. Do you want me to help you?
Help me? Ning Fan raised his eyebrows. The fourth level Vein Opening Lu Ziqiao just left, and now the third level Vein Opening Li Zhihuan came. These Vein Opening juniors wanted to take advantage of him?
Yes. This Li knows how to read people. Brother Ning's face is filled with killing intent and black light, you are certainly not a mortal.
Ning Fan's expression was strange. Was this Li Zhihuan praising someone? Didn't people usually say 'Face is filled with luck and purple light'?
Brother Ning's test just now revealed a high rank merit law. I'm afraid it has already attracted the greed of countless people. In the Evil Sect, where there are countless killings, offending so many people is not good news. In my opinion, it is best for Ning Fan to give this merit law away. After all, an ordinary man is innocent, but treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime
Oh? Brother Li, who do you think Ning Fan should give this merit law to? Ning Fan's expression remained unchanged.
In my clan, there is an elder who happens to be an elder in our sect. Brother Ning, why don't you give this merit law to him and use this merit to attach yourself to him. With Elder Li's protection, no one in the Evil Sect would dare to steal your merit law.
Thanks for Brother Li's kindness, but I believe that no one in the Sinister Sparrow Sect would dare to steal my merit law.
Ning Fan didn't lower his voice. Not only did Li Zhihuan hear it, Lu Ziqiao and the 160 other candidates heard it, even the Harmonious Spirit elders who were hiding in the dark heard it!
Li Zhihuan slightly frowned. This Ning Fans who was younger than him seemed to be a bit too arrogant. Could it be that this Ning Fans thought that he, a mere teenager, could block the sneaky attacks of countless Harmonious Spirit seniors? This was the Evil Sect. As long as he could steal something secretly, no one would care!
Just as Ning Fan's voice faded, a beautiful figure in blue walked gracefully towards them with graceful steps.
As soon as the lady appeared, all the youths present held their breath. Many of them who had heard of the lady's identity had a fiery look in their eyes.
She is the daughter of the Sinister Sparrow Sect's master, Lan Mei. She has always been indifferent to worldly affairs. Why is she here today to observe the sect's disciple recruitment test?
Could it be that there was someone among the candidates that the dignified young master of Lan Mei cared about?
Hiss! Even someone as cold and arrogant as Lan Mei finally cared about a man?
When the eyes of the experts of Sinister Sparrow Sect fell on Lan Mei's hand, they were shocked.
They saw that Lan Mei was holding a black jade slip engraved with a sparrow's mark – the sect master's message jade slip.
Lan Mei came with the sect master's jade slip. Could it be that the sect master of Sinister Sparrow Sect had an order to pass down?
What surprised the experts the most was that Lan Mei, who had always been cold and arrogant, slowly walked towards Ning Fan. For the first time, he squeezed out a stiff smile on his face, which had never smiled before.
"Ning Fan, you really know how to cause trouble."
"Really? I don't think it's troublesome. But your smile is really ugly … "
In the eyes of the experts who were familiar with Lan Mei, it was as if they had seen a ghost.
Oh my god, the young master is smiling at Ning Fan! What is the relationship between Ning Fan and the young master? Ning Fan, Ning Fan, this name sounds familiar …
Seeing that Ning Fan and Lan Mei knew each other and had a good relationship, the experts who were hostile towards Ning Fan revealed themselves one after another. None of them dared to show any hostility towards Ning Fan.
Even a fool could see that Ning Fan must have a great background. A few Harmonious Spirit elders began to ponder about Ning Fan's background. Seven Apricot Ning Fan, it did sound familiar. Where have they heard of it before?
While everyone was puzzled, Lan Mei smiled faintly and crushed the jade slip in her palm. The jade slip broke and the cold voice of the sect master of Sinister Sparrow Sect, Sinister Sparrow Sect was heard.
"Ning Fan is the disciple of Alchemist Han and the grandson of Black Devil Ning of Ning City. No one from Sinister Sparrow Sect is allowed to provoke Ning Fan. Otherwise, he will be killed without mercy!"
The sect master's voice slowly faded away in the wind, but the whole scene became strangely quiet because of Sinister Sparrow Sect's order.
Everyone's face was filled with shock!
Finally, those Harmonious Spirit elders remembered where they had heard of Ning Fan. The chief auctioneer of Seven Apricot City's Dao Fruit Auction, the person who could shock a group of devils with a single glance – Ning Fan!
Old Devil's disciple and Black Devil Ning's grandson. This Ning Fan must not be offended. No wonder he had such a high level dual cultivation technique. It turned out that he had such a background.
Each of the Harmonious Spirit experts gasped. No one dared to have any thoughts about Ning Fan anymore. Even their original intention of recruiting Ning Fan had disappeared.
Since Ning Fan was Old Devil's disciple, he naturally belonged to the faction of the four Revered Devils. Who could recruit him?
"Fortunately … fortunately the sect master gave this order. Otherwise, if we Harmonious Spirit experts acted rashly without knowing Ning Fans background, not only will we offend the Master Apothecary, we will also offend the Black Demon Venerable who is very popular in Yue Country!"
The Gold Core elder Xu Rou heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that the sect master would personally come to solve Ning Fan's problem.
Lu Zi Qiao, who threatened Ning Fan previously, now had a rare look of fear on his cold face. He was cold and arrogant, but it depended on who he was facing. Ning Fan's background was enough to make him fearful. He was an existence that the whole Lu Family didn't dare to offend!
Li Zhihuan, who threatened Ning Fan in disguise, also couldn't stay calm at this moment. He said that Ning Fan was arrogant and ignorant, but now it seemed that he was the arrogant and ignorant one.
With Ning Fan's background, who in Sinister Sparrow Sect would dare to covet his merit law? It was ridiculous that he thought that he was smart enough to give Ning Fan the so-called 'good advice'. It was really ridiculous.
As for Bai Xiu who looked down on Ning Fan before, her beautiful eyes were filled with regret. Her previous cold words shouldn't have offended Ning Fan, right? It's over …
Now, Ning Fan could no longer keep a low profile in Sinister Sparrow Sect.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed. He looked into Lan Mei's eyes and smiled meaningfully. Your father saved them.
Sinister Sparrow's jade slip seemed to be protecting Ning Fan, but in fact, it was protecting the experts of the sect.
According to Ning Fan's plan, he wanted to establish his prestige in a high-profile manner, but not through his background. If there were Harmonious Spirit experts who didn't know what was good for them and followed Ning Fan into Demon Sinister Forest, Ning Fan would kill them. Ning Fan believed that after killing a few Harmonious Spirit experts, no one would dare to offend him.
However, Sinister Sparrow's jade slip had ruined Ning Fan's chance to establish his prestige. Moreover, it seemed that this jade slip was also a reminder to Ning Fan.
Sinister Sparrow didn't want Ning Fan to start a massacre in the sect. After all, these experts were the foundation of Sinister Sparrow Sect.
What a good Sinister Sparrow. He had only met Ning Fan once, but he could already see through Ning Fan's character.
Tell your father that I won't kill people easily. But if someone comes to me, I won't be merciful.
Ning Fan smiled faintly. He seemed to have thought of something and apologized to Lan Mei. I just didn't expect that the assessment would take so much time. Let's postpone the treatment for you. You don't have to be too anxious.
Who's anxious?
Lan Mei blushed. If she had a choice, she wouldn't let Ning Fan treat her.
It was too embarrassing to see that kind of place.
A Harmonious Spirit elder went up the platform and explained the rules of the second assessment. But Ning Fan wasn't in the mood to listen because Lan Mei was hesitating. She took out a storage pouch from her bosom and handed it to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan scanned the storage pouch with his spirit sense and his face turned strange.
There were two bottles of Rising Spirit Pills, the effects of which were self-explanatory. One was a bottle of Ghost Suppressing Pill, the user would be immune to all evil and ghosts after consuming it. One was a silver formation plate, which could be used to lay down a small Spirit level formation at any time, allowing one to rest and cultivate in it. There was also an ancient map depicting the entire Demon Sinister Forest with countless red and black dots.
The red dots represented spiritual herbs and the black dots represented danger.
Ning Fan couldn't help but show a strange expression. This was like seeing a ghost. Lan Mei, who had never had a good impression of him, had actually given him gifts. Moreover, the gifts she had given him were extremely valuable.
"What do you mean by this?"
"Nothing." Lan Mei evaded Ning Fan's eyes. She didn't know why she gave Ning Fan so many things.
Perhaps she was worried that Ning Fan would encounter danger in the Demon Sinister Forest. After all, Ning Fan wasn't a peaceful person. In the depths of the forest, there was a terrifying ghost king that even Sinister Sparrow was afraid of. She hoped that Ning Fan wouldn't wander around.
There were many intermediate Harmonious Spirit cultivators who died in the forest. Lan Mei had a feeling that Ning Fan wouldn't stay in the newbie village with the Dao Seeker.
But why was she worried about Ning Fan? Why? She didn't understand.
