In the Alchemy Sect's main hall.
The Sect Master of Elixir Sect, who had been in seclusion to comprehend the Dao of alchemy for a long time, flew into a rage the moment he came out of his stone chamber!
The three pieces of news caused him to lose his rationality and his usual calmness!
Firstly, the Pill Devil that he raised in the Rain World had gone missing! And the loose immortal Chang Shan, who was responsible for bringing back the Pill Devil, had already perished in the Ancient Heavenly Court decades ago!
Secondly, the Ghost Rearing Formation that he had paid a huge price to set up in the Ancient Heavenly Courts was actually destroyed by someone!
Thirdly, before he went into closed-door cultivation, he had ordered his men to seize the opportunity to secretly kill the Medicine Sect's Head Disciple, Ouyang Nuan, and seize the power of her Five-Colored Medicine Soul.
To think that Ouyang Nuan was still alive after so many years! Furthermore, the Sect Master of the Medicine Sect, Wei Wuzhi, had found out about the Pill Sect's attempt to harm Ouyang Nuan!
Now, the Medicine Sect and the Pill Sect had truly shed all pretense of cordiality!
Half a month ago, the Sect Master of the Medicine Sect suddenly returned to the sect and found out about the Life Immortals of the Medicine Sect who had been plotted against by the Centrifugal Pill.
After that, he paid a huge price to gather more than ten Eastern Heaven True Immortals to help him and annihilate several subsidiary forces of the Alchemy Faction!
Among those affiliated forces, there were even two Perfected Immortal forces!
This time, Wei Wuzhi was really angry. He didn't care about the harmless fight between the Pill Faction and the Medicine Faction, but he wouldn't allow anyone to hurt his disciple!
The Alchemy Ancestor had touched his bottom line!
"A bunch of trash!"
The Alchemy Faction's Sect Master looked at the Elders and disciples below furiously.
A bunch of useless things. Now that the Pill Devil was gone, his two million years of waiting had lost all meaning!
Now that the Ghost Nurturing Array was destroyed and he no longer had those high-level Sense Beads, it would be extremely difficult for his Spiritual Force to break through to the next realm.
The most troublesome thing was still Ouyang Nuan!
Not only had he failed to obtain the five-colored medicine soul, he had also brought trouble upon himself and completely shed all pretense of cordiality with the Herbal Sect!
How could the Alchemy Sect's Sect Leader not know that the reason why Wei Wuzhi didn't bring his men to attack the Alchemy Sect was to intimidate and threaten them!
If the Alchemy Faction and Alchemy Faction fought with all their might, they would each summon countless True Immortals. When the time came, blood would flow like a river. A single battle would last for dozens or even hundreds of years, and it might not necessarily be able to determine the victor.
Even though Wei Wuzhi hated the Pill Sect, he knew that the Medicine Sect did not have the power to completely destroy the Pill Sect.
Now that Ouyang Nuan only had twenty years left to live, Wei Wuzhi wanted to gamble one last time and go to the True Immortal Impasse to look for the Longevity Jade. He had no intention of fighting the Dan Grandmaster to the death now.
Destroying the Alchemy Sect's subsidiary forces was a form of intimidation!
If the Alchemy Sect dared to continue attacking Ouyang Nuan within these 20 years, Wei Wuzhi couldn't guarantee that he would do something crazy. Even if he had to perish together with the Alchemy Sect, he would make the Alchemy Sect regret it!
"Sect Master, please calm your anger! According to the plan, Ouyang Nuan was supposed to die in the Lesser Marsh Star Region. The murderers would only be a few bandits and devil cultivators who are greedy for money … This plan was supposed to be flawless. However, a Void Fragmentation Realm junior just had to interfere and spoil our plan. He even exposed the killing intent of our Pill Sect towards Ouyang Nuan … "
A Gui Xuan Life Immortal was full of hatred as he reported to the Dan Sect's Sect Master who had just come out of seclusion.
"What?! The person who you said ruined the great plan of my pill sect is actually just a Void Fragmentation Realm junior! Haha, haha! "
The Alchemy Faction Sect Master was so enraged that he laughed instead!
I didn't expect it. I really didn't expect that there would actually be a Void Fragmentation Realm junior who would dare to ruin the good plans of my pill sect!
"Who is this person?!" The Alchemy Faction's Sect Leader's expression was extremely gloomy!
"His name is Qian Qiuzi. He was born in the Chaotic Devil Star Region, a low-grade star region. He had once killed all the star lords of seven cultivation planets in the star region. The Seven Fiend Sect has set up a bounty of 30 million Dao Crystals for him." The Life Immortal of the Pill Sect reported.
"Qian Qiuzi, huh … Hehe. Inform all the people who tried to kill Ouyang Nuan to return to the sect. We can't kill Ouyang Nuan for now. Otherwise, it will completely enrage Wei Wuzhi. However, this Qian Qiuzi … Gui Chen! "
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
"Send someone to the Seven Fiend Sect and ask them to increase the bounty on Qian Qiuzi to one billion Dao Crystals. Remember, don't let outsiders know that this is done by our Pill Sect in case we get into trouble again!"
"Yes!"
The Gui Xuan Life Immortal who was called Gui Chen sneered. He understood what the Sect Leader meant.
Now that they were in troubled times, the Pill Sect could no longer take action against Ouyang Nuan. Also, they could not personally come out to kill him.
Who knew if Ning Fan was also Wei Wuzhi's reverse scale?
They could just increase the bounty and kill him with a borrowed knife.
The bounty of one billion Dao Crystals was enough to move the Mysterious Life Immortal of the Pill Sect.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Gui Chen returned to the main hall and respectfully cupped his fists at the Sect Leader of the Pill Sect.
"Sect Leader, I have already sent someone to the Seven Fiend Sect. I think the bounty on that Qian Qiuzi will increase to one billion Dao Crystals soon. I have already sent a notice to all the Life Immortals who were responsible for killing Ouyang Nuan to return. Only the guest elder, Elder Lu, could not be contacted at the moment … Currently, Elder Lu should be in the Ancient Star Region. He is the Life Immortal who is closest to Ouyang Nuan. "
"Lu Zong? That Early Profound Realm puppet master? "The Sect Leader of the Pill Sect muttered to himself.
He had always thought highly of that puppet master. He had even given him a Nine Revolutions Death Chasing Pill.
"Not good! Elder Lu's life plate is broken! "
Outside the main hall, two low-grade disciples suddenly rushed into the hall with a panicked look.
"Lu Zong is dead?!" The Sect Leader's eyes turned grim. He circulated the power of his medicine soul and calculated with his fingers.
Lu Zong had consumed the Death Chasing Pill before. Even if the murderer's cultivation base was at the True Immortal Realm, he could still calculate the murderer's identity!
After calculating, the Sect Leader's expression turned even darker. He was so angry that he laughed!
"Where is your subject! After that, he sent someone to Seven Fiend Sect and told them that Qianqiu's bounty had been raised to ten billion! I don't need to do it myself. I want this kid to die under the pursuit of the immortals! "
"What?! Ten billion! "
Gui Chen's eyes widened in shock, but he did not dare to say anything more. He hurriedly left the great hall, once again ordering people to head to the Seven Fiend Sect.
The reward of ten billion was enough for Ning Fan to face the True Immortal tribulation!
It seemed like the Sect Master really hated this Qian Qiu to the core. If he didn't let this kid die in the hands of the Immortals, the hatred in his heart wouldn't be appeased!
After the bounty was raised to 10 billion, perhaps it wouldn't be long before Qian Qiuzi's name would spread throughout the entire Eastern Sky.
After that, it was an endless pursuit!
...
The process of the Slaughter Palace's disciple recruitment ceremony was different every time.
In this year's Disciple Recruitment Ceremony, the key item in the first round of assessment was the Slaughter Badge.
In the first round of assessment, the participating cultivators had to hand over all their Slaughter Badges, and the results would be recorded according to the number of badges they had.
Cultivators ranked in the top one thousand would be able to pass the first round.
The rest of the participants would be eliminated.
There were three types of Slaughter Badges. A bronze badge cost five points. It could be purchased directly from the Slaughter Palace and cost ten million Dao Crystals.
A silver badge cost fifty points. It couldn't be purchased from the Slaughter Palace. It could only be obtained from the Slaughter Pavilion in the main star of a mid-grade star region.
The way to obtain it was to challenge the pavilion master. If you win, you would get a Slaughter Badge.
A gold badge cost one thousand points. You had to challenge the pavilion master of the Slaughter Pavilion in a high-grade star region. If you win, you would get a gold badge.
Other than the bronze badge, the other two types of badges were not allowed to be obtained with the help of any outsiders. Demon pets and puppets were the exceptions.
Each cultivator could only obtain a badge from a Slaughter Pavilion once.
The badges obtained by one's strength could be sold to other cultivators.
If other cultivators obtained the badges, they could kill them and seize their badges.
The rules of this year's Disciple Recruitment Ceremony had just been announced one or two years ago. Many cultivators who wanted to participate were busy challenging the pavilion master of the Slaughter Pavilion and collecting badges.
No one challenged the gold badges. After all, the pavilion master of the high-grade Slaughter Pavilion was at least at the Peak Ghost Profound Realm. Which cultivator with a skeletal age below thirty thousand years could defeat such an old monster?
Those who could challenge the silver badges were already considered strong. The pavilion masters of the mid-grade Slaughter Pavilion were at least at the Rogue Immortal Realm. Occasionally, some of them were at the Mysterious Life Immortal Realm.
Ning Fan calculated that he would pass through more than two hundred mid-grade star regions along the way. If he challenges the pavilion masters of the mid-grade star regions along the way, he should be able to obtain a lot of silver badges.
It shouldn't be difficult to pass the first round of the competition.
He opened the star door again and again and crossed the star regions. After passing through a few low-grade star regions, the first mid-grade star region came into his sight.
"Nuan Er, do you know which star region this is …?" Ning Fan was just hurrying along the direction of the Emperor Star Disk. Without the Star Disk of this star region, he naturally had no idea where this place was.
"Little furball, it seems like your father has no sense of direction … This star region is close to the Ancient Star Region. There are many fire veins on the cultivation planets. He can easily guess that this is the Purple Flame Star Region but he actually doesn't know about it."
Ouyang Nuan was playing with the little furball. She was in a good mood.
"I don't know much about the star regions near the Ancient Star Region …" Ning Fan shook his head speechlessly. Then, his gaze swept across the few cultivation planets nearby.
Seeing that the cultivation planets here were indeed filled with fire veins, a thought flashed through his mind.
"I wonder where the main star of the Purple Flame Star Region is. I think the fire veins on the main star of the Purple Flame Star Region must be excellent and suitable for refining soul jades. If I want to go to the main star, I need to get an astrolabe first … "
As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, he turned the ancient sword into a ray of golden sword light and carried Ouyang Nuan straight towards a low-grade cultivation planet nearby.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ning Fan returned from that low-grade cultivation planet. He 'borrowed' a Purple Flame Astrolabe from the star lord of that planet and went straight to the Purple Flame Star.
The Purple Flame Star was a mid-grade cultivation planet. It was not a large-scale trading planet. The number of Life Immortals on it was also not as many as the number of Life Immortals on the Purple Flame Star.
Looking at the appearance of this star, there seemed to be some traces of damage on it and the traces were very fresh … Ning Fan was speechless. Could it be that these traces of damage were caused by Wu Chen?
Since Wu Chen had gone to a few star regions nearby, he probably came to the Purple Flame Star Region as well.
Before entering the star, Ning Fan first used the Rain Technique to sense the number of Life Immortals on this star.
There were only two Life Immortals guarding the Purple Flame Star. Both of them were at the Early Human Profound Realm.
With Ning Fan's current cultivation base, he was no longer as fearful as before when he encounters Early Human Profound Realm Life Immortals again.
Outside the Purple Flame Star, a group of Void Refinement Realm cultivators who were in charge of patrolling immediately spread their spirit sense to check when they saw Ning Fan's sword light flying towards them.
After noticing that Ning Fan was a Peak Level Nine Break Realm cultivator, their attitude became extremely respectful.
The two Life Immortal Star Lords had instructed them to treat cultivators at Ning Fan's level with courtesy if they encounter them.
"We, the cultivators of the Purple Flame Star, greet Senior. May I know where Senior is heading to? We are willing to lead the way for Senior."
"It's alright. I know the way."
Ning Fan's tone was indifferent. As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the ancient sword and headed straight for the star.
Before entering the star, he had already used the Heaven Peering Rain Technique to observe the surroundings of this star. How could he not know the way?
The patrolling cultivators cupped their fists and lowered their heads, sending Ning Fan off with their eyes.
On the Purple Flame Star, the best place to have fire veins was the star capital. Both of the Life Immortals were guarding the star capital. Both of them were fire cultivators.
The Slaughter Pavilion was also located in the star capital.
Outside the Purple Flame City, Ning Fan kept his ancient sword and gently held Ouyang Nuan's waist. Then, he leaped and landed on the ground.
As soon as they arrived at the city, a group of cultivators immediately came out of the city gate to welcome them. The reason why they treated Ning Fan with such courtesy was because Ning Fan was a Peak Level Nine Break Realm cultivator.
On this Purple Flame Star, excluding the two Life Immortals, the strongest experts were people like Ning Fan.
At the same time when the group of cultivators came out of the city gate to welcome Ning Fan, two extremely obscure spirit senses lightly scanned Ning Fan's body.
The owners of these two spirit senses were naturally the two Life Immortal Star Lords of the Purple Flame Star. Their spirit senses were slightly weak and seemed to be slightly injured.
After the spirit sense scanned Ning Fan, it immediately withdrew and did not stay on him for a long time.
Seeing that Ning Fan was not a Life Immortal who was hiding his cultivation base, the two of them naturally would not pay too much attention to him.
Even though the two Life Immortal Star Lords would not pay attention to Ning Fan, three rogue immortal old men flashed and went out of the city gate to welcome him. They cupped their fists and greeted Ning Fan politely.
"Fellow Daoist, I have never seen you before. May I know how to address you?" Among the three of them, an old man in white robes asked with a smile.
"My Dao name is Qian Qiu." Ning Fan did not have the intention to hide his identity. After all, as long as these three rogue immortals investigate him, they would find out that he was a bounty devil.
"Old Ancestor Qian Qiu who is offering a bounty of thirty million gold coins!" The expressions of the three old men changed slightly. They were in charge of the Purple Flame City. Naturally, they had heard about some of the more notorious bounty devils.
This time, when the two obscure Life Immortal Star Lords' spirit senses scanned Ning Fan's body again, they carried a hint of fear and a desire to please him.
The expressions of the three old men only changed for an instant. Then, they regained their composure and smiled awkwardly at Ning Fan.
"So Fellow Daoist is Old Ancestor Qian Qiu. This is the first time I've heard of Fellow Daoist's name, so I lost my composure a little. May I know what is your relationship with the Ghost Face Pavilion Master of the Ancient Star Region? "
"Friend."
Ning Fan's mind raced and he seemed to have understood something.
When Wu Chen came to this place to rob things, he must have mentioned me. Otherwise, the rogue immortals and the Life Immortal Star Lords would not turn pale at the mention of my name.
* Chi * * Chi *
Two Life Immortal Star Lords hurriedly flew out of the city. They did not have the time to recuperate and directly appeared outside the city gate.
The two of them landed on the ground and turned into an old man in red robes and an old woman in purple robes. Both of them were at the Early Human Profound Realm.
At this moment, their expressions were extremely complicated. They squeezed out a smile awkwardly. Even though their cultivation levels were higher than Ning Fan's, they still cupped their fists and greeted him politely.
"Hehe. It seems like Little Friend is the friend that the pavilion master mentioned before. That Ghost Face Pavilion Master came here some time ago and 'purchased' some jade slips for the Star Gate. He also told us to take good care of Daoist Qian Qiu if he passes by this star in the future. Otherwise … * Cough * * Cough * … "
Needless to say, these two Life Immortal Realm experts had been severely threatened by Wu Chen. Thus, they would not dare to show any disrespect towards Ning Fan.
"Don't worry, Seniors. I will only stay on the Violet Fire Star for a few days before leaving. I won't cause any trouble here. Seniors, your injuries haven't healed yet, so it's better for you to go back and recuperate first. I'll just stroll around the Purple Fire City … "
Ning Fan cupped his fists towards the two Fate Immortals and the three rogue immortals. Then, he pulled Ouyang Nuan and entered the Purple Flame City.
Seeing that Ning Fan was much friendlier than Wu Chen and was not someone who was difficult to serve, the two Life Immortals heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed like Ning Fan wasn't here to look for trouble. That was good …
The two of them secretly ordered all the shops in the city not to neglect Ning Fan if they encounter him. They had to treat him well.
Ouyang Nuan was in a very good mood when her hand was held by Ning Fan. She even hummed a song softly.
However, when Ouyang Nuan realized that Ning Fan had brought her to a hot spring palace, she could not help but blush.
"You … why did you bring me here …"
This was a place where many cultivators and Dao companions were deeply in love …
Didn't you see how many Dao companions were bathing together in this place …?
"This is the strongest place in the Purple Fire Star. The fire elemental power in the hot spring here is extremely strong. If I refine the Soul Jade in this place, I'm sure I'll get twice the result with half the effort."
"Are you sure that you came here to help me refine the Soul Jade and not to take advantage of me?" Ouyang Nuan looked at Ning Fan with uncertainty.
"I promise I won't take advantage of you. Do you want to come in and take a bath?" Ning Fan teased.
"I-I think I won't go in … You can go by yourself …"
Ouyang Nuan avoided his eyes and turned around, trying to escape. However, Ning Fan grabbed her wrist and pulled her inside.
"I want the Hot Spring Pavilion that has the best fire vein in this place." Ning Fan casually took out ten thousand Dao Crystals and handed them to the manager of the Hot Spring Palace.
The manager was a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator. As soon as he saw the appearance of the newcomer, his eyes widened in shock. He immediately stepped forward and said respectfully.
"I don't need so many Dao Crystals. Even the Hot Spring Pavilion that has the best fire vein only needs one thousand Dao Crystals a day …"
"Then I'll pay for ten days first." Ning Fan did not know how many days he would need to refine the Soul Jade.
Very soon, a delicate maid walked out. She led Ning Fan and Ouyang Nuan into the number one Hot Spring Pavilion.
The manager of the Hot Spring Palace pondered for a moment. Then, he called six to seven of the most beautiful maids and instructed them in a low voice.
"Tonight, all of you will go and serve that senior. Remember, you must make him feel comfortable. You must never offend him!"
