Since he could not afford the Black Lotus and White Lotus, Ning Fan could only settle for the next best thing, which was the cheaper Blood Lotus Spirit Equipment.
The method of payment was very simple. One just had to shine the Slaughter Jade at the counter where the Blood Lotus Spirit Artifact was placed. The formation light on the counter disappeared, allowing the buyer to take the item in the formation light.
Four million kill points were deducted from the Slaughter Jade.
Remaining kill points: 23.26 million.
With the Blood Lotus in hand, he could easily escape from cultivators below the True Immortal realm in the future even if he was outnumbered.
In addition to the concealment ability of the Ghost Face Spiritual Equipment, Ning Fan thought for a moment and felt that there was no need to spend money to buy offensive jade slips and offensive immortal talismans for the time being.
The jade slips and immortal talismans of the Du Zhen Strike were worth around a million slaughter points, which was equivalent to ten billion dao crystals.
Since he had a life-saving method, there was no need for him to buy a life-saving method like an attack jade slip. He could spend the money elsewhere.
In the Puppet Pavilion, a Human Profound puppet was worth around five hundred thousand kill points, while a Ghost Profound puppet was worth around a million kill points.
The Du Zhen Puppet was expensive. An early stage puppet cost twenty million, which was equivalent to two hundred billion Dao crystals.
Ning Fan pondered for a while. In the end, he still could not make up his mind to buy the Du Zhen puppet.
Initial stage Du Zhen puppet's help was too little, but its price was frighteningly high.
The price of a Du Zhen puppet was enough for Ning Fan to hire an Early Shedding Void Realm assassin from the Red Suspending Pavilion to kill him twice.
It was not worth it.
The price of demonic beasts was slightly higher than puppets of the same level.
A Life Immortal Demon Pet was usually worth more than 500,000 Slaughter Points, which was equivalent to 5 billion Dao Crystals.
Ning Fan could not help but recall the past on the Shaoze Star in the past. In the past, he cut off the divine chests of the Life Immortal Realm demon pets and sold all of them for 100 million …
'It seems like I've lost quite a lot …'
After all, Ning Fan already had Zi Li. To Ning Fan, he could not find a demon pet that was more loyal and protective than Zi Li.
Except for Blackie …
There were many spiritual items of the five elements in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion. If Ning Fan had enough money, he could buy enough spiritual items of the five elements to cultivate his Great Five Elements Physique to the peak.
Unfortunately, a low-grade Level Eight Immortal Fire Seed was worth a hundred thousand Slaughter Points, which was equivalent to one billion Dao Crystals.
If he wanted to cultivate the Great Five Elements Body to the Five Elements Perfection, he would need to spend at least five hundred billion Dao crystals.
He did not have enough money to burn the Great Five Elements Physique for the time being.
There were countless cauldrons in the Cauldron Pavilion. A Profound Cauldron Furnace had 100,000 kill points, and a Profound Ghost had 200,000 kill points.
There were also Crossing Truth Cauldrons, each worth five million points. In the entire Cauldron Cauldron Pavilion, there were only six of them, two men and four women.
As for the Empty Cauldron, there was none.
Ning Fan's magic power was still at its limit. The cauldron was temporarily useless to him. Even though he was tempted, he did not buy it.
After breaking through to the Life Immortal Realm, he could buy a cauldron to cultivate.
As he passed by the Inheritance Pavilion, Ning Fan suddenly halted his steps.
Today, the Technique Imparting Pavilion Master was giving a lecture on the Dao. He was talking about the Dao of True Void!
Entering the pavilion to listen to the lecture required ten thousand slaughter points, which was not expensive.
Ning Fan's eyes flickered. He paid the killing points and stepped into the Technique Inheritance Pavilion.
He was very interested in the Dao of True Void, even though it was still too early for him to listen to the Dao of True Void.
A golden-robed Shura was sitting on a high platform. Below him were more than a hundred cultivators of the Kill Hall, all of whom were Life Immortals.
The golden-robed She Kong was expressionless as he calmly explained the Dao.
Around his body, there was an aura of vicissitudes of life.
This aura would only appear on cultivators at the Eternal Ancient Realm. However, it appeared on him who was a Shura Void cultivator.
Ning Fan arrived late. He stood under a Bodhi tree that was further away from the group and listened to the lecture quietly.
"Pavilion Master, may I ask what is false and what is true?" A middle-aged Life Immortal Realm cultivator asked respectfully.
"What is false? What is true? When a First Step cultivator stretches out his palm, what he can touch is true. What he can't touch is false. "
"Pavilion Master, may I ask what is false and what is true?" The middle-aged Life Immortal Realm cultivator continued to ask.
"What is false? What is true? What you can touch might not be true. What you can't touch might not be false. "
"Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly and the butterfly dreams of Zhuang Zhou. Which is true and which is false? Are they both illusions, or are they both real? "
"For example, there are one billion flames in this wisp of flame. Each of the flames has its own Dao. Which Dao is the true Dao of this flame?"
The golden-robed Shura Kong opened his palm and a wisp of flame shot out from his palm.
When he raised his hand, the golden flame turned into one billion weak golden flames and soared into the sky.
One billion wisps of flame had one billion different Dao of flames. Which one of them was the true Dao?
"What is a True Immortal? Those who cultivate the true Dao are True Immortals. What is the true Dao? There are one billion Great Daos in a single wisp of flame. How many Dao of flames are there in one billion wisps of flame? There are one billion flames in a world. How many flames are there in one billion worlds? How many Dao of flames are there? There are countless Dao of flames in the world but there is only one Dao of True Fire. "
"In your eyes, any of these one billion Dao of flames could be the true Dao and none of them could be the true Dao. To me, all of these one billion Dao of flames are not the true Dao … Do you understand what is true? Do you understand how to find the true Dao? "
As soon as the golden-robed Shura Kong finished speaking, he did not say another word. His eyes swept across the crowd and observed the expressions of the people who were listening to the lecture.
Each of the Life Immortal Realm cultivators wore a blank expression. None of them could understand what he meant.
The golden-robed Shura Kong shook his head in disappointment. He had already explained it so bluntly but these people still did not understand what he meant. Their aptitudes were really lacking.
Suddenly, the golden-robed Shura Kong's eyes moved and he looked at Ning Fan's direction.
He clearly saw that Ning Fan's eyes were only blank for a moment. Then, his eyes became clear and he seemed to be deep in thought.
"Oh? This young man has yet to attain the Second Step but he can actually understand my words? "
The golden-robed Shura Kong revealed a satisfied smile and asked Ning Fan. "Your aptitude is not bad. What's your name? When did you enter the palace? Why have I never heard of you before? "
Ning Fan was stunned. He cupped his fists and answered. "I am Ning Fan. I have just joined the Slaughter Palace. It's not surprising that you don't know me."
His voice was neither humble nor arrogant.
His expression was not one of trying to curry favor, nor was it one of arrogance, humility, or fear. What he had was just thinking about the Dao.
The golden-robed Shura Kong's eyes lit up. It had been a long time since he saw a junior who was so persistent about the Dao.
"Ning Fan, huh? Alright. I will remember you." The golden-robed Shura Kong nodded his head in satisfaction. He had been staying in seclusion in the Technique Inheritance Pavilion all day long. All he wanted was to comprehend the Dao and he did not care about worldly affairs. It was not surprising that he had not heard of Ning Fan's impressive achievements.
However, there were more than one hundred Life Immortal Realm cultivators present who did not recognize Ning Fan.
Ning Fan had arrived in the middle of his Dao lecture. These people were listening attentively and they did not notice Ning Fan's arrival.
As soon as they saw Ning Fan, each of the Human Profound Life Immortal Realm cultivators' expressions changed while the Ghost Profound Life Immortal Realm cultivators' faces were filled with dread and seriousness.
The golden-robed Shura Kong was stunned again when he saw Ning Fan. He thought to himself that this junior at the First Step was really impressive. He could actually make so many immortal cultivators' expressions change when he was only at the Void Fragmentation Realm.
"Your aptitude is not bad and your perception is also not bad. If you encounter any problems in your cultivation in the future, you can come to the Technique Inheritance Pavilion to consult me at any time. I will answer your questions for free. Today's Dao lecture is over. All of you can leave now. You, stay. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden-robed Shura Kong stood up. His body gradually turned into golden light spots and disappeared.
The golden light condensed and the golden-robed Shura Kong appeared beside Ning Fan.
All of a sudden, everyone present looked at Ning Fan with envy.
The name of the Technique Inheritance Pavilion's master was Jin Xianzu. He had been stuck at the Peak Shura Kong Realm for one hundred thousand years and he was only a step away from the Broken Thought Realm.
This person's cultivation base might not be the highest in the Slaughter Palace. However, his Dao Comprehension was slightly stronger than the Immortal King of the Nether Sea.
Even some elders who broke their silence would often consult Jin Xianzu when they encounter problems in their cultivation. Of course, they would have to pay for the consultation.
In the entire Slaughter Palace, there were only four people who could gain Jin Xianzu's favor and could ask him questions for free.
Ning Fan was the fifth person!
"This young man must have extraordinary aptitude and shocking perception. Otherwise, it's impossible for him to gain Pavilion Lord Jin's favor!"
Each of the Life Immortal Realm cultivators looked at Ning Fan enviously and left the Technique Inheritance Pavilion with a sigh.
Very soon, only Ning Fan and Jin Xianzu were left in the Technique Inheritance Pavilion.
Ning Fan turned a deaf ear to all of them. His mind was still replaying the scene where a wisp of flame turned into a billion sparks.
After a long time, Ning Fan let out a long sigh. He cupped his fists at Jin Xianzu who was standing in front of him and said with admiration. "Senior's words directly pointed at the Dao Truth. This junior is impressed."
"Not bad. You have a proud character and a humble Dao Heart. You are a good candidate for the Dao Truth. Tell me, about the method of seeking the truth that I just told you. How exactly do I have to seek the truth? "Jin Xianzu asked with a smile.
Ning Fan did not dare to be negligent. After pondering for a while, he said solemnly.
"There are countless Daos of Fire in the world, but only those that are compatible with one's own Dao are true. The rest are all fabricated!"
"There is no strongest Great Dao in this world. There is only the Great Dao that suits you the most. That is the truth!"
"If Junior didn't understand wrongly, the method of seeking truth that Senior talked about today is: If you want to seek the true path, you must first seek your own path."
After hearing Ning Fan's answer, Jin Xianzu nodded his head in satisfaction. "That's right. If you want to pursue the true Dao, you must first pursue your own Dao. Everyone's Dao was different, so everyone's True Dao was also different. Your Dao heart is very firm because you have the Dao. Although you have found your own Dao, you have yet to verify your Dao, and you have yet to cultivate the Dao Image. The Great Dao is formless and formless because it is not your Dao. If you want to prove your Dao, you will naturally have a Dao image. "
Jin Xianzu's dao confirmation was a threshold that peak Ghost Profound cultivators had to face.
If he had not proven his own Dao, he would naturally not be qualified to seek for the True Dao, enter the Crossing Reality State, and become a True Immortal.
Strictly speaking, Ning Fan had yet to become an immortal. Thus, there was no need for him to prove his Dao.
However, Jin Xianzu felt that Ning Fan's innate talent and comprehension ability were extremely high. Now, he already had the qualifications to prove his Dao.
"Dao Confirmation … Dao Image …"
Ning Fan's eyes were sometimes blank and sometimes clear.
He had already roughly understood that his Dao was to protect the people behind him. However, it was too difficult to prove his Dao.
"How do I prove my Dao?" Ning Fan asked blankly.
Jin Xianzu did not answer Ning Fan's question. Instead, he casually tossed a pine seed to him.
A ray of golden light sent the pine seed into the soil at the side. Under the acceleration of the golden light, the pine seed grew little by little and sprouted. Then, it gradually grew bigger.
In just ten breaths' time, it had already grown into a Luohan Pine that was several tens of zhang tall.
"What is the Dao of this Luohan Pine?" Jin Xianzu asked with a smile.
If it was an ordinary person, he would certainly answer that it would break out of the soil and grow into a gigantic tree to become a pillar.
Unfortunately, that was just the Dao that Jin Xianzu had given to the Luohan Pine. It was not the correct answer.
Ning Fan, however, pondered for a long time. Eventually, he shook his head and sighed. "I don't know."
Jin Xianzu smiled satisfactorily. "Of course, you don't know because you are not it. Only it knows its Dao. Now, let me ask you. How should this Luohan Pine attain its Dao? "
Ning Fan's eyes lit up. He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior."
Only the Luohan Pine itself knew its Dao.
Only it could ponder and ponder on how to attain its Dao. No one else could help it.
Since Ning Fan was not a pine, he naturally did not know the Dao of a pine.
"I didn't give you any guidance. With your comprehension ability, it's just a matter of time for you to understand these things. Even though I can't help you attain your Dao, I can give you a method to comprehend life and death. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Xianzu's finger shone with golden light. He drew a golden circle of light on the soil around Ning Fan.
"If you jump out of this circle, you will face death!"
Ning Fan looked at the golden circle of light beneath his feet. His eyes were sometimes blank and sometimes clear.
The circle of light turned into light spots and disappeared. Ning Fan, however, stood still for a long time with his eyes closed, pondering hard.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and cupped his fists at Jin Xianzu. "Thank you for your guidance, Senior."
"Mm. Go. You no longer have any doubts in your heart. This is good. After you become an immortal, you can always come to the Technique Inheritance Pavilion to look for me if you have any more questions. "
As soon as Jin Xianzu finished speaking, his body dispersed into rays of golden light and disappeared without a trace.
"Comprehending life and death, becoming an immortal and attaining the Dao!"
Ning Fan's eyes flashed. He took a deep look at the Luohan Pine and strode out of the Technique Inheritance Pavilion.
If he needed a hundred years to complete his comprehension of the Dao of Life and Death, after Jin Xianzu's guidance, he would only need forty years at most to complete his comprehension of the Dao of Life and Death, breaking through to the Immortal Realm and advancing to the second step!
After leaving the Technique Inheritance Pavilion, Ning Fan went to the Immortal Technique Pavilion.
This pavilion sold cultivation methods and jade slips of various grades.
In this place, Ning Fan found the cultivation jade slip of the Second Flower of the Three Flowers at One's Prominence. Its price was one million killing points.
After thinking for a while, Ning Fan decided to buy this jade slip.
After all, this jade slip was not too expensive. Even if he could not use it for the time being, he could just buy it and keep it for himself.
Other than that, Ning Fan also spent one hundred thousand killing points to purchase a High Grade Immortal Technique – Flame Dragon's Breath.
Even though this technique was just a High Grade Immortal Technique, if the cultivator's flames were strong enough, the destructive power of this technique would be comparable to a Peak Grade Immortal Technique!
If the cultivator happens to have a powerful demon blood, the destructive power of this technique would be comparable to a Low Grade True Technique!
With the strength of Ning Fan's demon blood, as long as he did not increase the intensity of his flames, he could at least use this technique all the way to the Early True Crossing Realm.
Therefore, Ning Fan was not in a hurry to cultivate this technique even though he bought it.
The remaining killing points were 22.06 million.
Eventually, Ning Fan stepped into the Pill Ranking Pavilion.
After spending one hundred thousand killing points, Ning Fan bought enough body refinement pills which were enough to raise his ancient devil cultivation realm to the peak of the Supreme Devil Realm.
After spending one million killing points, Ning Fan bought a Mid Grade Eighth Revolution Pill – Immortal Bestowment Pill.
This pill could increase the chances of becoming an immortal by five percent. It was useless to consume more than one pill.
Ning Fan, of course, would not mind having a higher chance of becoming an immortal. Even though one million killing points were expensive, he could still afford it.
After that, Ning Fan spent nearly twenty million killing points and a hundred billion Dao Crystals to purchase more than 1700 tufts of one million years old spiritual herbs.
He had already bought enough pills which were enough to raise his magic power, body and spirit sense to the peak of the first step. It was enough for him to become an immortal.
As for the remaining money, he spent almost all of it on pills to cultivate the Three Flowers at One's Prominence.
He still had one million killing points and twenty billion Dao Crystals.
Since he could not spend all of his killing points, he might keep some Dao Crystals as a precaution.
He did not need to buy a formation plate to transcend the immortal tribulation.
With his current strength, he was not afraid of the immortal tribulation at all. Even if the tribulation was ten times stronger, he would still not be afraid!
After walking around the twelve pavilions, Ning Fan finally returned to his disciple's residence.
There was still one more day before the trip to the Blood Realm.
One day was too short. It was not enough to refine the Blood Lotus Spirit Equipment, the spiritual herbs and the three flowers.
According to Ning Fan's plan, he would cultivate for another day in his disciple's residence and then follow Fei He to the Blood Realm to meet Sha Di and ask for the Longevity Jade.
Unfortunately, as soon as he returned to his disciple's residence, he heard a sobbing sound coming from his own room.
All of a sudden, Ning Fan frowned.
He did not like others to intrude into his territory, even if it was his temporary residence.
He pushed the door open and saw a blue-robed little girl weeping on his bed.
As soon as she saw Ning Fan return, the blue-robed little girl raised her head and looked at Ning Fan with tears in her eyes.
She was not very beautiful but she was delicate and lovely. She looked rather pitiful when she cried like that.
Unfortunately, her pitifulness could not move Ning Fan's cold heart at all.
"Who are you?" Ning Fan frowned and asked impatiently.
"I-I'm Lu Xin Er. Junior Brother Ning, didn't we meet in the morning? Don't you remember me …?" Lu Xin Er felt disappointed when she saw Ning Fan's cold eyes.
During the grand competition, this little girl was already captivated by Ning Fan's elegant demeanor.
This morning, she followed a group of disciples of the Slaughter Palace to express their goodwill to Ning Fan. As she was too nervous, she only had the time to introduce her name and did not have the courage to speak to Ning Fan again.
However, she still exchanged glances with Ning Fan. She thought that Ning Fan would remember her name.
The cruel reality was that Ning Fan had completely ignored her.
"Lu Xin Er?"
Ning Fan recalled that there was a little girl who called herself Lu Xin Er early in the morning.
However, Ning Fan was not interested in these cultivators of the Slaughter Palace at that time. He did not pay attention to this little girl and did not even look at her face carefully.
"Yes, Junior Brother Ning, you remember me, right?" Lu Xin Er smiled through her tears. Her face was filled with joy.
Liking someone and just being looked at by him was a blessing.
"Yes, I remember. Do you need something from me? "Ning Fan asked indifferently.
"Yes, yes … I want to ask a favor of Junior Brother Ning …" Lu Xin Er's face was red. She twined her fingers and lowered her head while stuttering.
"I don't have time." Ning Fan directly refused.
"You haven't heard what I want to ask you for …" Lu Xin Er bit her lips.
"Not interested." Ning Fan said coldly.
He and Lu Xin Er did not know each other. If this girl was in trouble, it had nothing to do with him.
He had always been cold. He would only be gentle to special people.
"I … I … I'm sorry. You have just joined the Slaughter Palace. There are so many things that you need to do. I … I … It's my fault …"
Lu Xin Er bit her lips to stop her tears from falling down. Then, she walked out of the house in a lonely manner.
"By the way … Junior Brother Ning, this jade slip might be helpful to you in becoming an immortal. It might not be helpful at all … "
Lu Xin Er suddenly thought of something. She took out a blue jade slip and put it on the table.
She sighed and walked out of the room.
She didn't come here to trouble Ning Fan in the first place. She wanted to help Ning Fan become an immortal and leave a good impression on him.
However, when she saw Ning Fan, her heart was in a mess. She only wanted to pour out all her grievances to the person she liked. She had forgotten her original purpose of coming here.
"This time, I am completely hated … Lu Xin Er, you are really useless. This is the first time you like someone and the first time you were rejected by someone coldly …"
After Lu Xin Er left, Ning Fan picked up the jade slip on the table and scanned it with his spirit sense. His expression changed instantly.
"Quicksand Secret Place, Ancient God's Cave of Light!"
Lu Xin Er had once stumbled into a secret place in the Quicksand Star Sea. She even found a cave residence left behind by an ancient god!
The cave residence had a terrifying power of time. Lu Xin Er was only an intermediate Human Profound Realm expert, so she couldn't break into it.
She only needed to search around the periphery of the cave residence and found a Quicksand Pearl.
She believed that there must be an even greater fortune in the cave residence!
She knew that she didn't have the ability to obtain the fortune inside. Therefore, she told Ning Fan about the fortune, hoping that it could help him.
She had never told anyone about this secret cave residence.
If she didn't meet Ning Fan, perhaps she would never tell anyone about it.
Ning Fan kept the jade slip and sighed softly.
He could naturally understand Lu Xin Er's infatuation. He knew that Lu Xin Er's feelings for him were just a momentary longing of a little girl.
Longing was the furthest distance from understanding.
There were too many girls who longed for him. Did he have to respond to them one by one?
However, this girl had left him a jade slip. It was a jade slip that was rather helpful.
For the sake of this jade slip, Ning Fan didn't mind helping her.
After receiving a favor, he should return the favor.
Thinking of this, Ning Fan's figure flashed and left the disciple's residence.
...
Lu Xin Er seemed to have lost her soul. She walked on the stone path, stepping on the pebbles desolately.
She was heartbroken. She was heartbroken. She didn't understand this feeling. Her unrequited love had just taken root and died before it could sprout.
She thought of her family and the day when the Lu Clan was annihilated. She suddenly felt wronged.
Ever since the Lu Clan was annihilated, she had never fallen in love with anyone. She finally fell in love with Ning Fan, but it ended up like this.
He hates me. Even he hates me. Lu Xin Er, you're a failure in life.
Lu Xin Er sighed faintly. Her heart ached.
Suddenly, she felt her waist go soft. Someone was actually hugging her.
"Who?! Who is it?! "
Lu Xin Er turned her head in shame and anger. She found out that the person who hugged her was Ning Fan.
She followed Ning Fan and flew up to the sky!
"I'll keep the jade slip. I never owe anyone a favor. Today, I'll return it to you. Who provoked you? I'll help you vent your anger! "
