"Where's the sect master of the Hundred Medicine Sect?" Ning Fan turned back into his white robes and asked indifferently.
His voice was not loud but it gave off a bone-piercing chill.
After all, he had just slaughtered the entire 70,000 Green Scarf Bandits!
"This junior is here. May I know what instructions does senior have for me?" The sect master took a step forward in fear and bowed with his fists cupped.
"Refine the flesh and blood essence of the 70,000 Green Scarf Bandits. Sort out all the spoils and pass them to me."
"Yes!"
"I want to enter the Crepe Myrtle Pond. I don't want anyone to disturb me for the time being."
"Yes!"
Ning Fan was not in the mood to clean up the battlefield himself.
He landed on the bank of the pond and walked towards the thatched cottage step by step.
Ning Fan stopped outside the cottage but did not push the door open.
He could feel that his arrival had caused the woman inside to feel rather uneasy.
"Can I come in?"
"No!" Ouyang Nuan bit her lips and said.
"Is that so … What exactly happened that day? Did something happen that I missed? Why did you become like this …"
Ning Fan sighed softly and pushed the door open.
Inside the cottage, a girl in green robes was sitting with her back facing the door.
When she felt Ning Fan's arrival, her shoulders trembled slightly.
A few strands of her black hair that was once as black as ink had turned white.
Her skin that used to be as smooth as silk was now wrinkled in many places.
She did not dare to turn her head to look at Ning Fan. The death qi on her body was very heavy …
It was a sign that her lifespan was coming to an end. Currently, Ouyang Nuan's lifespan was coming to an end. She looked like an old woman with one foot in the grave.
"Don't look …" Ouyang Nuan begged helplessly.
Ning Fan did not say much. He just quietly walked behind Ouyang Nuan and placed his palm on her shoulder.
There was no softness as he expected. There was only a skinny feeling … Old as an old woman …
"Wei Qi isn't here …" Ning Fan muttered to himself.
"…" Ouyang Nuan remained silent. Her eyes were filled with unerasable pain.
"He betrayed us, didn't he?"
"No, he didn't! He was controlled by the Centrifugal Pill of the Pill Sect. He didn't do it on purpose! "Ouyang Nuan calmed herself down and explained to Ning Fan seriously.
As soon as she turned around, she immediately realized that her current hideous appearance was completely exposed to Ning Fan. She hurriedly covered her face with both of her hands.
"Ten breaths. I managed to hold on for ten breaths, but no strong reinforcements came. Instead, I was attacked from both sides. Is that so … Was he the one who tore open the Devil Sense Seal in my body … Tell me, what happened that day, Miss Nuan?"
Ning Fan gently squatted down and looked at Ouyang Nuan's wrinkled face. There was not a single trace of disgust on his face. Instead, there was always a gentle smile on his face.
Ouyang Nuan was too ashamed to show her face. She wanted to avoid Ning Fan's gaze and get up to escape, but Ning Fan grabbed her arm and gently pressed her back onto the chair.
"Sit properly, hold this ugly thing, and tell me what happened that day!"
Ning Fan ordered in a domineering manner. With a wave of his hand, a furball appeared in his hand and he threw it into Ouyang Nuan's bosom.
Ou Yangnuan rolled her eyes at Ning Fan and said discontentedly, "It's not ugly. It's your daughter, Ning Xiao Qiu."
"Why do I hear this little fellow calling you 'Nuan Nuan's mother'? I'm the father, and you're the mother? Is this what you want to express? "Ning Fan teased.
"No, it's not! It's just calling me randomly! I have never taught it to call me that! " Ouyang Nuan patted Furball's small buttocks angrily. She really did not teach it to call me that way. It was Furball who figured it out on its own.
The True Blood Spirit Selection was so smart. If the man was the father, wouldn't the woman be the mother?
Furball let out a low howl, expressing that it felt wronged for being beaten.
After being messed up by Ning Fan and this little fellow, Ouyang Nuan could not help but be in a good mood. For a moment, she actually forgot about her appearance.
"What exactly happened that day? Your lifespan is short. What's going on? Is there anything I can help you with? "
"You can't help me. Really … Don't worry. Don't blame yourself. I originally only have two thousand years of lifespan left. Because I saved you, I have twenty years left. Actually, to me, whether it's two thousand years or twenty years, it really doesn't make a difference. In the end, I can't escape death, can I? "
Ouyang Nuan looked at Ning Fan quietly with a hint of a smile in her eyes. It was very warm, just like the rising sun.
"Have you heard of the Innate Medicinal Body? Those who are born with the Innate Medicinal Body will be born with a Medicine Soul. They are natural Fifth Revolution Pill Masters. This is not luck, but a curse. No one with the Innate Medicinal Body can live more than ten thousand years. Ten thousand years is the limit of the lifespan of those who are born with the Innate Medicinal Body. Those who are born with the Innate Medicinal Body will never be able to become an immortal in this life and will never have the possibility of immortality. Master knew that I wouldn't live for long. So even though he was a little stingy, he still gave me a lot of money, hoping that I would live a happy life in my remaining years. "
"Master has given me a lot of protective treasures, but I have never worn them. Do you know why? Because I want to die. I want to die in the hands of unfamiliar devils and bandits. That way, master won't have to go to the True Immortal Forbidden Lands again and again in order to find the item that can save me. There were a few times when master almost died in those True Immortal Forbidden Lands. Do you know how much I blame myself? He gave me the Nine Revolution Death Chasing Pill and planted an order in me. He forbade me to commit suicide and forbade anyone to kill me. He must save me. I am very grateful, but more than that, I blame myself. "
"For some people, the longer they live, the more burdens they will bring to their loved ones. I really don't want to live anymore. Unfortunately, I met you. You let me know that it's really interesting to live. However, I have harmed you in the end. If it wasn't because I begged you to help me save someone, you wouldn't have been ambushed by Seventh Uncle. The Devil Sense wouldn't have invaded your body and you wouldn't have nearly lost your life. My life is the same as harming others and myself. "
"It was me who separated the origin of the medicine soul in my body to help you seal the gap of the Devil Sense. It's because I was the one who caused that gap … I have lived a very, very tiring life for the past eight thousand years. I have lived enough of it. I want to spend the remaining twenty years in peace. I don't want to harm anyone. I don't want to blame myself and feel guilty anymore. I don't want to owe anyone anything …"
Ouyang Nuan was supposed to tell him the truth of that day, but she could not help but tell him the things that had been bothering her for many years.
She was the disciple of the sect master of the Medicine Sect. It would be easy for her to become an immortal. However, she couldn't achieve immortality.
She was the owner of the legendary five-colored medicine soul. She was a rare pill refinement genius that was hard to find even in a hundred generations. However, she had no chance to reach the pinnacle of the Dao of Pill.
"Do you still remember that promissory note? That's not a promissory note. It's a bet … When I was still very young, your master and my master met each other in a gambling house on a certain cultivation planet. Both of them made a bet with one billion Dao Crystals. Your master said that he would certainly accept a disciple in the future who could cure me … I didn't want you to be troubled because of my body. That's why I wanted to take back the promissory note. However, you misunderstood something and tore it apart … At that time, I was thinking that your master must not have told you the true meaning of the promissory note. However, you still tore it apart because you were worried that I would be troubled. I'm really very touched … "
"No one can save me. I don't need anyone to save me either. I'm just very, very tired …"
Ouyang Nuan fell asleep due to exhaustion. Her body tilted slightly to one side and she fell into Ning Fan's arms. Faint breathing sounds could be heard.
She still did not tell Ning Fan the truth of that day. However, Ning Fan had already understood the reason why she was in a coma for seven years from her words.
The reason was Wei Qi's' betrayal '.
When Wei Qi was captured, Ning Fan initially guessed that a traitor of the Medicine Sect had lured him out of the Shaoze Star.
He had never thought that Wei Qi was actually controlled by the Centrifugal Pill of the Pill Sect and he left the Shaoze Star on his own …
The medicinal effect of the Centrifugal Pill was to control a person without anyone knowing.
The medicinal effect of the Centrifugal Pill would last for a lifetime …
Perhaps even Wei Qi himself did not know that he had been drugged by someone …
When Ning Fan used the Weapon Disintegration Style to block ten breaths of the Life Immortal Realm cultivator, what awaited him was Wei Qi's attack on his abdomen and back …
I really missed it …
Even if I activate the formation marks at the beginning and kill the two Life Immortals of the Pill Sect, I would most likely be sneak-attacked by 'Wei Qi'.
I've missed Wei Qi …
The person I wanted to save turned out to be the most dangerous enemy …
However, how did Ning Fan survive the joint attack of Wei Qi and the Life Immortal Realm cultivator?
How did Ouyang Nuan bring him to the Ancient Star Region?
Why did she bring him to the Hidden Sea Star …
There were still some questions that he did not have answers to. However, Ning Fan did not want to wake Ouyang Nuan up and ask her about it.
He carried Ouyang Nuan to the bed and gently placed her down. Then, he sat on the edge of the bed and quietly looked at Ouyang Nuan's sleeping face. His brows were slightly knitted.
"Is there really no way to prolong her life …?"
Hairy Ball snuggled comfortably in Ouyang Nuan's bed with a carefree look. It had no idea that its mother was about to die …
* Chi *
A ray of travelling light landed lightly outside the Purple Myrtle Pond.
Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. He walked out of the cottage and saw that Old Man Qian had already returned.
"Didn't Senior leave the planet?" Ning Fan cupped his fists and greeted him.
"Mm. I went on a long journey and wanted to kill a few people. However, I was worried about your character. So, I thought I should come back and have a look … Did Nuan Nuan meet you?" Old Man Qian's tone was a little strange.
"Mm."
"Humph! Once that girl lost her appearance, she didn't even want to meet me. How could she meet you?! Sure enough, a grown girl can't be kept at home! "Old Man Qian's tone was sour. When he thought of Ouyang Nuan's current miserable state, he became speechless.
"Senior, do you know how to prolong the life of an innate medicinal body?" Ning Fan suddenly asked.
"Oh? You want to save Nuan Nuan? Do you think you can get that thing with your insignificant cultivation base? "Old Man Qian harrumphed coldly with disdain.
"That thing? What thing? Could it be that there's really a way to prolong Ouyang Nuan's life? "Ning Fan's eyes flashed.
"There is. In ancient times, there was an Immortal Emperor called Great Emperor Chang Sheng. He created three pieces of Longevity Jade in his life. Any living being that refines this jade into their body can achieve immortality. Remember, it's any living being! Be it a mortal or a plant, as long as they can get their hands on this Longevity Jade, their innate medicinal body can also prolong their life! Among the three pieces of Longevity Jade, one was destroyed in the ancient war, one was lost in a True Immortal's forbidden land and its whereabouts are unknown while the last one is in the hands of Sha Di of the Slaughter Palace. Which one do you think you can find?! "
"Nuan Nuan's master has been to countless ancient forbidden lands for four days but he couldn't find the missing piece of Longevity Jade. Do you think you can find it? You can't even enter the outer area of those forbidden lands, right? Any Life Immortal Realm or True Immortal Realm ferocious beast can swallow you in a single bite! "
Old Man Qian looked at Ning Fan with disdain and snorted coldly.
Ever since Ouyang Nuan carried the half-dead Ning Fan and knelt in front of him to beg him to save her, he found Ning Fan to be an eyesore.
"Longevity Jade? Doesn't Sha Di have one? Why don't you go to the Slaughter Palace and ask for it? With the Medicine Sect's resources, it's not like you can't get something good to exchange for a piece of Longevity Jade, right? "Ning Fan asked doubtfully.
"Ask for something from Sha Di? * Cough * Cough * … Little Friend, you are really courageous. I'm ashamed of my inferiority. If Little Friend dares to go to the Slaughter Palace and ask for something from Sha Di, I – No, the Medicine Sect will agree to it without hesitation no matter what condition Sha Di offers to exchange for the jade … "
Old Man Qian looked at Ning Fan as if he was looking at an idiot.
Ning Fan was like a fledgling who had just entered the starry sky and did not know how terrifying Sha Di was.
Asking for something from Sha Di … Does this brat think that the sect master of the Medicine Sect has never been there before?!
On that day, when the sect master of the Medicine Sect said that he wanted to meet Sha Di and ask for his Longevity Jade, he was almost surrounded and attacked by the experts of the Slaughter Palace …
Tens of millions of years ago, there was an Immortal Emperor who fancied a tuft of Innate Spiritual Herb that belonged to Sha Di. He wanted to ask for it but he was directly injured by Sha Di's finger and had to leave the Slaughter Palace in a sorry state.
Whatever Sha Di fancied, he would definitely get it.
Whatever he fancied, he would never allow anyone to covet it!
Wanting to obtain the Longevity Jade from Sha Di was harder than ascending to the heavens.
If Ning Fan goes to ask for Sha Di's Longevity Jade, his ending would definitely be very miserable …
No. With his cultivation base, how would he be qualified to enter the Bloody Slaughter World, let alone meet Sha Di?
"Asking for something from Sha Di will result in a miserable ending?" Ning Fan looked at Old Man Qian thoughtfully.
"Of course! You will die a horrible death! "Old Man Qian sneered.
"No one has ever been able to get what they want from Sha Di, huh …?"
"It's not like no one has ever done it before. If one possesses the cultivation base of the inner sect of the Slaughter Palace and has made a great contribution, he or she can ask for a reward from Sha Di. If Sha Di is in a good mood, he might give the person what he or she wants. If Sha Di is in a bad mood, he or she might just press the person into meat paste with just a finger … "
"If I make a great contribution, I can ask for a reward from Sha Di?" Ning Fan's eyes sparkled again.
If I present the elder token that has been lost for a long time, would it be considered as a great contribution?
If I want to present the token, I must first become a disciple of the Slaughter Palace and then find a way to enter the Bloody Slaughter World, meet Sha Di personally and present the token on the spot …
If I reveal the fact that I have the elder token before meeting Sha Di, I'm afraid that countless experts of the Slaughter Palace will immediately kill me and snatch my elder token …
Whether presenting the elder token is considered as a great contribution or not, I still need to verify it.
If this is feasible, I also need to think about how to meet Sha Di step by step …
Ning Fan knitted his brows tightly. Ouyang Nuan's matter had successfully made him pay attention.
Wei Qi 'betrayed' him. He was saved because of Ouyang Nuan. Although he had returned a favor, he also owed her another favor for saving his life.
In the end, he still has to return the favor …
"I'm not in a good mood right now. I'm going to kill a few people. You take good care of Little Girl Nuan. If you do anything to her, I will certainly cut you into eight pieces! Humph! "
The old man surnamed Qian's eyes flashed fiercely. He took a step forward and merged with heaven and earth. In the blink of an eye, he traveled a distance of a star field and disappeared.
"Ground Shrinking into an Inch!" Ning Fan's eyes widened in shock. This Old Man Qian is really powerful. He actually managed to comprehend the Ground Shrinking technique.
A long time after the elderly man had left, Ning Fan fell into deep thought.
He had come to the Ancient Realm for the Celestial Soul Herb. From today onwards, he would start searching for the whereabouts of the Immortal Soul Herb.
At the same time, he had to collect all sorts of information about the Slaughter Palace …
As long as there was the slightest possibility, he would help Ou Yangnuan get the Longevity Jade!
He had to return the favor that he owed!
