The Everlasting Pavilion in the east of the Moon City was thousands of miles away from the north of the city.
With the middle-aged scholar's Golden Core speed, it would take him a day to arrive.
Fortunately, Ning Fan was traveling with them. Naturally, he would not spend a single day on comprehending them.
Ning Fan just flicked his sleeve gently. A vast amount of magic power engulfed the middle-aged scholar. Both of them instantly traveled across ten thousand li * (500m per li) and appeared outside the Everlasting Pavilion.
"T-Divine Transformation Realm old monster!" The middle-aged scholar was nearly frightened to death by Ning Fan's speed.
As far as he knew, those who could travel ten thousand miles in one go were at least Deity Transformation cultivators.
Only a Spirit Severing Old Monster's teleportation technique could allow him to travel ten thousand miles in one go!
Initially, he guessed that Ning Fan was a Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. From the looks of it, Ning Fan was at least an Early Divine Transformation Realm old monster!
"This person is actually a Deity Transformation Stage old monster! I can't believe I can lead the way for a Deity Transformation Stage old monster! "
The middle-aged scholar was shocked, but his eyes were burning.
He bowed respectfully to Ning Fan and pointed at a ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) treasure pavilion in front of him. "Senior, please take a look. This is the Limitless Pavilion. Only the Everlasting Pavilion could sell the map of the North Tree Sea. The master of the Everlasting Pavilion was the city lord of Moon Moon City. He was an early Void Refinement Realm old monster. In order to enter the Everlasting Pavilion to shop, you need to be at least a Grand Cultivator. This junior is unable to enter. "
"Since you can't enter the pavilion, you should leave. I can enter alone."
Ning Fan dismissed the middle-aged scholar and walked towards the Everlasting Pavilion alone.
There were no cultivators guarding the Everlasting Pavilion. There were only two wooden beast statues squatting outside the door.
The wooden sculpture was vivid and lifelike, and its pair of beast eyes were extremely intelligent.
When Ning Fan approached the Limitless Pavilion, the two wooden beasts suddenly emitted a faint light. They stood up on all fours and stared at Ning Fan coldly.
Each of the wood beasts was emitting the aura of a peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
These two wooden beasts were clearly two puppet beasts!
"Halt your steps! Cultivators below the pinnacle of Yuanfeng are not allowed to enter the Wuji Pavilion! "
Ning Fan's eyes swept across the two beasts and he was slightly surprised.
No wonder there was no one guarding the Wuji Pavilion. It turned out that there were two peak Yuan puppets guarding it.
The craftsmanship of these two puppets was rather special. Unlike the Rain Immortal Puppets and Northern Sky Puppets, they were actually completely made of wood.
The material of the second puppet was nothing special. However, there was a profound talisman formation carved on the surface of the puppet. Even with Ning Fan's level of attainment in the Dao of Formations, he could only see some of the complexity of the talisman formation.
Ning Fan's eyes and his eyes turned cold.
The grade of these two puppets might not be high, but the one who made them was definitely an extremely powerful puppeteer.
In the face of the two beasts' cold gazes, Ning Fan naturally did not say much. He only released a bit of his qi which was roughly at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm.
After sensing Ning Fan's Peak Nascent Soul Realm qi, the coldness in the two beasts' eyes immediately dissipated. They crouched down again and said to Ning Fan proudly. "Your cultivation base is strong enough. You can enter now!"
Ordinary puppets' Realm puppets had Sea of Of them of their eyes.
Ning Fan was very sure that these two puppet beasts were not puppets with spiritual intelligence, but they were able to show such a proud expression. Could it be that the puppet master's skills were extraordinary?
They were the Pavilion Pavilion Fan who Fan Long Dragon. Pavilion, of the Fan, Pavilion of Miles of Pavilion, Miles of Jade Jade Jade, Miles of the first level.
Each of the jade shelves was equipped with layers of formation light. There were also puppet beasts guarding the shelves.
Many Peak Nascent Realm cultivators were choosing their items on the first level. The ones who welcomed them were human-shaped puppets.
At the moment when Ning Fan stepped into the Everlasting Pavilion, a smiling female puppet walked towards him with light and graceful steps.
This puppet was a sentient puppet with a Half-Step Deity Transformation cultivation base. Its eyes were as clear as a spring, and it was even more intelligent than a living person.
"Fellow Daoist, what do you want to purchase from my Pavilion? I am Lou Ruo, the shopkeeper of the first level of the Pavilion. "
"Map." Ning Fan answered indifferently.
"Oh? What kind of map do you want to buy? There are maps of Earth Abyss Country, Hanhai Country and Wu You Country on this shelf … "
The lady pointed at a jade shelf at the side. The shelf was filled with countless jade slips. Each of them was imprinted with map information.
Beside each jade slip was a standard map of the area and the price of the jade slip.
"I want a map of the entire North Tree Sea."
Ning Fan's indifferent voice resounded on the first level. Then, he took out a storage pouch and handed it to the female puppet. The pouch contained one million immortal jades.
Even though his voice was not loud, all the Peak Nascent Realm old monsters on the first level could naturally hear him.
Many of them looked at Ning Fan and the storage pouch that contained one million immortal jades. Their eyes were filled with shock and passion.
Even Peak Nascent Realm old monsters were not willing to spend one million immortal jades to buy a map.
There were also some who came to the Pavilion to buy a map of the North Tree Sea. However, when they heard the price, they gave up on the idea.
A few Peak Nascent Realm old monsters studied Ning Fan from top to bottom. They felt that he was a little unfamiliar and started guessing his background and origin.
There were also a few ferocious-looking old monsters who were secretly paying attention to Ning Fan. When they saw Ning Fan spending lavishly, they vaguely regarded him as a fat sheep. No one knew what kind of evil intentions they had …
Ning Fan did not even look at those malicious old monsters. To him, a mere Peak Nascent Realm cultivator was nothing to be afraid of.
The female puppet took the storage pouch and scanned it with her spirit sense. Then, she gave Ning Fan a meaningful smile.
"Fellow Daoist, may I know why you want to buy a map of the North Tree Sea?"
“...”
Ning Fan did not answer her question. Instead, he slowly walked to the jade rack at the side and reached out his hand to grab a jade slip on it.
That jade slip was the map of the North Tree Sea.
The formation light on the jade rack was a Mid-Grade Divine Transformation Realm formation light. Even a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator would not dare to touch the item on the rack.
As soon as she saw Ning Fan taking the jade slip, the female puppet was slightly surprised. Just as she was about to stop him, an old voice suddenly resounded beside her ears.
"There's no need to stop him. This young man has hidden his strength well. He won't be hurt by a mere Divine Transformation Realm formation light."
Just like what the mysterious old man said, Ning Fan directly passed through the formation light and took the jade slip. Then, he turned around and left without being hurt at all!
However, before he left, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the upper floor of the Everlasting Pavilion with a meaningful gaze.
On the first floor of the Everlasting Pavilion, all the Peak Nascent Realm old monsters were stunned.
No matter how stupid they were, they could tell how strong Ning Fan was. Since even the Divine Transformation Realm formation light could not hurt him, it was impossible for him to be a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. It was highly possible that he was a Divine Transformation Realm old monster!
Some of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who harbored malicious intentions earlier revealed a look of fear when they thought that Ning Fan might be a Divine Transformation Realm old monster. None of them dared to have any evil thoughts towards Ning Fan anymore.
On the top floor of the Everlasting Pavilion, an old man in brown robes was stunned for a moment. Then, his eyes revealed a look of contemplation.
"What exactly is this young man's cultivation base? He should have already advanced to the Void Refinement Realm. However, I'm not sure if he is a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator or a Void Inquiry Stage cultivator … Perhaps, his cultivation base is even higher … "
"There's an extremely strong puppet qi on this young man's body … However, this puppet seems to be damaged. It's a pity …"
"There's a trace of ancient qi on this puppet. It should be carved with ancient runes. I wonder if this young man's puppet fragments are for sale … "
The brown-robed old man's mind raced. All of a sudden, he made a decision and transmitted his voice to the female puppet on the first floor.
Then, the female puppet hurriedly chased after Ning Fan before he left and urged him to stay.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait. My master invites you to the top floor of the Everlasting Pavilion for a chat."
"Your master …?" Ning Fan's eyes were calm without any emotion.
The master of the Everlasting Pavilion was just a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator. This kind of cultivation base was not enough to pose any threat to Ning Fan. Thus, Ning Fan naturally did not have any concerns.
After pondering for a moment, Ning Fan said to the female puppet. "Lead the way."
He really wanted to see why the master of the Everlasting Pavilion was looking for him.
Ning Fan followed the female puppet to the top floor of the Everlasting Pavilion. Along the way, the cultivators they met were all shocked when they saw Ning Fan ascending the stairs.
From the second floor onwards, the cultivators who came to shop were at least Divine Transformation Realm old monsters.
In the eyes of these Divine Transformation Realm old monsters, Ning Fan was just a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
It was hard for them to imagine why a Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was qualified to ascend to the second floor and even climb to a higher floor!
"Who is this man?! Could it be that he's heading to the top floor?! "
"The top floor! That's the place where the master of the Everlasting Pavilion receives Void Refinement Realm cultivators! Could it be that this Nascent Soul Realm cultivator is actually a Void Refinement Realm old monster?! "
"Hiss! This man doesn't look impressive but he's actually a Void Refinement Realm old monster?! An expert of this level is a formidable character who dominates a region in the entire North Tree Sea … We must never offend this person! "
Ning Fan walked all the way to the top floor. The female puppet excused herself and Ning Fan pushed the door open and entered alone.
On the top floor was a pavilion with simple decorations. An elderly man in brown robes was sitting on a rattan chair and drinking tea alone.
Behind him stood eight wooden puppets. Each of them had a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivation base!
Seeing Ning Fan's arrival, the elderly man immediately revealed a smile and poured a cup of tea for Ning Fan. Then, he said politely, "Fellow Daoist, please have a seat. This is the Supreme Grade Spiritual Tea that I bought from the Bamboo Lake Country – Bamboo Lake Cloud Mist Tea. It was brewed with hundred-year cold spring water and boiled with a Sixth Grade Void Flame. Fellow Daoist, how does it taste? "
Ning Fan's gaze swept across the wooden puppets and fell into deep thought. Then, he shifted his gaze away and sat on the rattan chair on the other side. Then, he picked up the cup of spiritual tea and took a sip.
The spiritual qi of this tea was overwhelming. The tea leaves were like miniature bamboo leaves. When the tea entered his mouth, it melted like mist and carried the fragrance of green bamboo.
"Good tea."
Ning Fan put down the mutton-fat jade teacup and looked at the elderly man in brown robes meaningfully.
The elderly man was also carefully studying Ning Fan. At the same time, he spread out his spirit sense, trying to sense Ning Fan's specific cultivation base.
However, as soon as his spirit sense came into contact with Ning Fan's body, it immediately disappeared without a trace like a clay ox falling into the sea. He could not see through Ning Fan's cultivation base at all.
The elderly man's eyes widened. He was a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator after all. His spirit sense was not weak among Void Glimpse Stage cultivators. However, he could not find out anything about Ning Fan's cultivation base …
"This young man's qi is very reserved! He is definitely not a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator. We mustn't offend him! "
The elderly man was a little fearful of Ning Fan. At the same time, he became interested in the puppet qi that Ning Fan was giving off.
He remained silent for a while. Ning Fan also smiled without saying a word.
After a while, the elderly man withdrew his spirit sense and cupped his fists at Ning Fan.
"I am Guang Han Zi. I am the city lord of this Guang Han City and also the pavilion master of the Everlasting Pavilion. I have made a lot of acquaintances in the Northern Tree Sea. However, Fellow Daoist looks a little unfamiliar to me. May I know your name? "
"Lu Bei." Ning Fan smiled and took a sip of his tea.
This time, he snuck into the Tree World secretly. It was not appropriate for him to expose his identity. With his reputation in the Rain World, many people in the Tree World might have heard of Marquis White Robe's name.
Ning Fan, Zhou Ming … These two names were closely related to Marquis White Robe's identity. Thus, it was not appropriate to use them.
If others find out that the dignified Marquis White Robe had snuck into the Tree World, they might even suspect that he was plotting something against the Tree World and cause some trouble …
The management of the passage between the nine worlds was extremely strict. Even if Moksha Sovereign sends someone to the Rain World to kill someone, he would need to use a Sovereign Execution Token. Moreover, he could only kill one person with one token …
Ning Fan was not so conceited that he could expose his identity in the Rain World and fight against the three sovereigns of the Tree World alone.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Lu. Forgive me for not recognizing you!" Guang Han Zi was smiling but inwardly, he felt strange.
The name Lu Bei was very unfamiliar. He was definitely not a cultivator of the Northern Tree Sea.
He pondered inwardly. Could it be that this young man in front of him is a cultivator of the Tree World who came from another sea of trees?
Guang Han Zi collected his thoughts and continued to chat with Ning Fan for a while. Ning Fan also answered him fluently without any hesitation.
As the two of them were chatting, time passed bit by bit. Guang Han Zi rubbed his forehead. He felt that it was time to get to the main topic.
"I sensed a trace of the qi of a puppet from Fellow Daoist's body … That puppet is very strong. Extremely strong. There must be ancient runes engraved on it. Unfortunately, according to my senses, this puppet has already been destroyed. It's really a pity. I want to exchange some puppet fragments with Fellow Daoist. I wonder if Fellow Daoist is willing to accept my request? "
"Puppet?"
Ning Fan's eyes narrowed. Inwardly, he became vigilant.
Not even the Rain Sovereign could sense the Void Fragmentation Realm puppets on his body. However, Guang Han Zi was able to sense them. He must have a special secret technique to sense puppets.
Zhi Huo and Zi Dian were the puppets of the Heavenly Tribulation. Even if they are destroyed, they would still be of great value.
If the fact that Ning Fan has the two puppets is leaked out, he would most likely get into some trouble.
Could it be that this Guang Han Zi wants to get his puppet fragments by inviting him here for a chat …?
Then, Ning Fan's thoughts changed … This Guang Han Zi seems to be quite proficient in the art of puppets. I wonder if he can repair Void Fragmentation Realm puppets.
Seeing Ning Fan's vigilant expression, Guang Han Zi immediately waved his hands and said with an apologetic smile. "Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand me. I definitely don't have any ulterior motives towards you! I just want to see the ancient runes on your puppet fragments … "
Just as Guang Han Zi's voice fell, a deafening bang suddenly resounded outside the Everlasting Pavilion. The entire city shook violently.
That loud bang was deafening. It was the sound of the city's grand formation being broken by someone.
Guang Han Zi's expression turned to one of shock. Immediately, his body swayed and he brought all of his puppets out of the Everlasting Pavilion.
Ning Fan wore a thoughtful expression. Then, he also swayed his body and flew into the sky.
A black-robed young man stood in midair with an extremely cold expression. His Void Inquiry Stage aura force swept across the sky, causing countless low-grade cultivators in the city to tremble in fear.
"Whoever killed the people of my Soaring Flower Valley, get out here!" (To be continued)
