In the end, Ghost Soldier Old Ancestor agreed to help Ning Fan forge a Star Defying Devil Armor.
It was no longer for the sake of the Luo Clan but for the sake of Ning Fan's powerful 'background'. He would also do his best to forge a perfect set of armor for Ning Fan.
Refining a magic armor was not something that could be completed overnight. According to the Ghost Soldier Patriarch's experience, it would take at least ten years to successfully refine this magic armor.
However, when Ning Fan casually asked if it could be completed before the grave competition, the old man's expression changed.
Ghost Soldier Patriarch immediately swore that if he used the Immolate Mystic Technique, he would be able to refine the Star Defying Fiend Armor within two years.
"Burning Mystic Technique … burning the primordial spirit of a refiner to shorten the time needed to fuse and form the magical treasure. In order to please me, this Ghost Soldier Old Ancestor has spared no effort … All of this is because he thinks that I'm a cultivator of a secret race, but he doesn't know that everything he believes is false … and I can't let him know the truth …"
Ning Fan left the Yin Moon Star and rushed towards the Divine Tomb. Inwardly, he sighed with emotion.
This Southern Tribe cultivator would most likely have to continue acting. A single lie would require countless more lies to make up for it.
As long as the person he was deceiving was an enemy like the Ghost Soldier Old Ancestor, he would have a clear conscience.
In a state of panic, Ning Fan recalled the teachings of the Old Monster in the past, recalling all the things that happened in the past. That year, his cultivation base was still low and he called himself Black Devil, deceiving the people of Yue Country.
Demons must know how to deceive, otherwise they would not be able to survive in this world. If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. Either he subdues the world with his might, or he deceives the world!
After leaving the Yin Moon Star, Ning Fan rushed all the way to the Divine Tomb.
He had always felt that there was a shadow following him. According to the Gu Token in the Profound Yin World, that person should be Lv Wen.
After flying a certain distance away from the Yin Moon Star, Ning Fan found an abandoned star and landed on it.
A green light flashed in his eyes. The aura of the Great Path between heaven and earth immediately became especially sensitive.
Stepping on the barren land, Ning Fan lifted his head to look at the boundless void and said indifferently to a certain uninhabited place.
"Fellow Daoist Lu has been following us all the way. What can I do for you?"
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Zhao's keen senses are actually able to see through my hiding spot. This is not information that can be found out through the Gu Token … "
A crack was immediately torn open in the void, and a fat old man walked out from it.
The old man was wearing a mink fur hat. As soon as he landed on the ground, he immediately waddled over like a comical roly-poly doll.
His slightly squinted smiling eyes seemed kind, but there was also a bit of gloominess that seeped into his bones, reminding others that he was not a good person.
Who else could it be other than Lv Feng?
"There's no need to call me Fellow Daoist Zhao. Let me reintroduce myself. My surname is Ning and my name is Fan. 'Ning' means' Ning 'and' Fan 'means' Unwilling to give up the mortal world '. "Ning Fan's tone remained indifferent.
Lv Feng was stunned for a moment. Then, he gave Ning Fan a meaningful smile and said. "I understand! I understand! The mission required him to keep his identity a secret, right? Ning Fan. Yes. Ning Fan. Fellow Daoist Ning, we haven't seen each other for ten years, but fellow Daoist is still as elegant as ever. Are you really Gui Xuan? Why do I feel that it doesn't seem like it … "
"I am indeed a Ghost Mystic cultivator. I ask Fellow Daoist Lu not to make wild guesses."
"Yes, yes, yes! Gui Xuan, it was Gui Xuan! Understood! I understand! However, Fellow Daoist's method of concealing your cultivation base is really brilliant! "
Lv Feng looked at Ning Fan with admiration. This admiration came from the bottom of his heart.
This time, Ning Fan did not summon his ghost face. With his cultivation base of the Third Eternal Tribulation, he could vaguely tell that Ning Fan was a Ghost Mystic from such a close distance.
However, Lv Feng firmly believed that Ning Fan was an eternal cultivator and this Ghost Mystic was just a disguise. After all, it was impossible for a Ghost Mystic cultivator to refine innate spiritual equipment or attain the unity of heaven and man. This was an indisputable fact.
The more he could not see through Ning Fan's' eternal ancient realm 'cultivation base, the more Lv Feng admired him.
Ning Fan somewhat admired Lv Feng's imagination. He did not need to say anything and this man was able to make all the unreasonable things in his mind into something reasonable …
"Hehe. It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Fellow Daoist."
Lv Feng chuckled. Then, he took out another exquisite storage pouch and passed it to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan scanned it with his spirit sense. It was another hundred billion Dao Crystals … This was really not a small matter …
"Take it! Fellow Daoist, you must accept it. If you don't accept it, then you're looking down on me, Lu Feng! "Lu Feng deliberately kept a straight face, yet the smile on the corners of his mouth didn't diminish, and his expression was just right.
"… If that's the case, I'll accept it. May I know why Fellow Daoist has come looking for me today? "
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Zhao, no, Fellow Daoist Ning … Fellow Daoist Ning, have you encountered any difficulties during your missions recently? Do you need my help? If there's anything you need, please tell me directly. Don't stand on ceremony with me. Naturally, I'm not doubting Fellow Daoist's ability to carry out the task. It's just that the matter Fellow Daoist is plotting is of great importance, and there are many things that are inconvenient for you to appear directly, and it's also inconvenient for you to reveal your true cultivation. If you have my help, I'm sure it can save you a lot of trouble. "
Lu Feng's face was filled with sincerity. As long as Ning Fan gives the order, he would be willing to risk his life for it.
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Lu really wants to help me? "Ning Fan's eyes flickered.
This Lv Feng was an Immortal King fighter who had delivered himself to their doorstep. Who knew, he might be of some use in many places.
"Of course! Fellow Daoist Ning, do you need me to do something for you?! "Lu Feng immediately said with joy after hearing Ning Fan's words.
"Not at the moment. However, if I encounter any difficulties, I will certainly take the initiative to ask for Fellow Daoist's help."
"That's good. That's good. If Fellow Daoist needs anything, I will certainly do my best to help you! "
Lv Feng said confidently. All of a sudden, he seemed to have thought of something and his expression became hesitant. After pondering for a while, he let out a sigh and did not ask the question.
His expression was not fake.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, if you have something to say, feel free to speak your mind."
"Erm … I have a presumptuous request. I hope Fellow Daoist can help me take a look. Recently, I've made some mistakes in my cultivation. Due to a moment of carelessness, I've fallen from the Fourth Tribulation to the Third Tribulation. I hope Fellow Daoist can help me take a look and see if it's possible for me to recover my cultivation base. I've already devoured a few Plague Cauldrons but I couldn't improve my cultivation base at all … "Lv Feng said awkwardly.
Almost no one knew that his cultivation base had been destroyed by Sen Luo. He was also too embarrassed to tell others about it. He had no choice. He was a person who cared a lot about his reputation. It was not appropriate for him to spread such a shameful thing around.
The reason why he lied and said that he had made a mistake in his cultivation was because he wanted Ning Fan to help him take a look at why he could not recover his cultivation base after devouring the Plague Cauldrons.
If he did not know that Ning Fan had comprehended the unity of heaven and man, perhaps he would not have asked about it.
Since Ning Fan was a cultivator who had comprehended the unity of heaven and man, his comprehension ability was naturally extremely high. Who knows, he might be able to give him some pointers.
"Fellow Daoist, you can't recover your cultivation base after devouring the Plague Cauldrons. So you want me to take a look at what went wrong?"
"Yes. Is Fellow Daoist willing to help me?" Lv Feng asked earnestly.
Ning Fan wore a thoughtful expression as if he was considering it. Inwardly, however, he was smiling bitterly.
Since he had comprehended the unity of heaven and man, his comprehension ability was naturally extremely high. Occasionally, he might have some Dao insights which were beyond the reach of even the ancient monsters.
However, in terms of cultivation experience, he was definitely not comparable to Lv Feng who was an ancient monster who had lived for tens of millions of years.
The two words' eternity 'referred to the fact that one must go through the ages.
Some cultivation experiences could not be understood just by being smart. One must go through a long period of time in order to understand them …
Ning Fan was very self-aware. He knew that he did not have the qualifications to guide Lv Feng in his cultivation at all.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Lv Feng did not seem to want him to teach him how to cultivate in a rigid manner. Instead, he just wanted Ning Fan to help him find out what the problem was in his cultivation.
If it's just this kind of thing, Ning Fan might be able to help Lv Feng discover some problems with his eyesight which was the unity of heaven and man …
"As expected, Fellow Daoist still isn't willing to help me …" Lv Feng sighed in disappointment.
Ning Fan pondered for a while and finally said.
"I can help you take a look. However, I can't guarantee that I can definitely help you find out the root of your problem."
"It doesn't matter! Fellow Daoist is a cultivator who has comprehended the unity of heaven and man. If you can't find out the root of my problem, I don't think there are many people who can. "Lv Feng was very confident in Ning Fan.
"Relax your entire body. Don't resist the power of my medicine soul."
Ning Fan said indifferently. At the next moment, he released the power of his five-colored medicine soul and sent it into Lv Feng's body to carefully examine his condition.
After hearing Ning Fan's words, Lv Feng naturally did not dare to move. However, he was very surprised by the power of Ning Fan's medicine soul.
He was not surprised by the grade of his Mid Seventh Revolution medicine soul. There was no need for him to boast about such a grade in the Four Heavens.
What surprised him was that Ning Fan also possessed the legendary five-colored medicine soul!
"Hiss! In the past, I only knew that there was a leading disciple of the Medicine Sect in the Four Heavens who possessed a five-colored medicine soul that countless pill refinement masters were envious of. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist would also possess this kind of diluted medicine soul power! Sure enough, Fellow Daoist is not an ordinary person! However, the grade of your medicine soul is a little low. I suppose Fellow Daoist is busy with cultivation and you probably don't want to divert your attention to cultivating pill refinement. * Sigh * It's really a pity. If Fellow Daoist is willing to spend a few million years to cultivate pill refinement, with your innate potential, you will most likely have a high attainment in the Dao of Pill … "Lv Feng sighed regretfully.
After hearing Lv Feng's words, Ning Fan could only smile bitterly.
It was not that he did not want to cultivate pill refinement. It was just that he did not have the time to do so at all …
His cultivation career had only lasted for a short two hundred years. His bone age was also less than a thousand years. Where could he find a few million years to cultivate pill refinement …
After clearing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Ning Fan carefully examined Lv Feng's injuries.
Without a doubt, those injuries were caused by Sen Luo. There was still some residual force of the Dark Light Finger in Lv Feng's body …
Sen Luo had deliberately left this force behind. It was as if the residual poison had accumulated in his body, preventing Lv Feng from recovering his cultivation base by devouring the Plague Cauldron.
However, this force did not stop Lv Feng from using other methods to return to the Fourth Tribulation of the eternal era …
"Sure enough, I didn't guess wrongly that day. Sen Luo had intentionally crippled Lv Feng's cultivation base and it was done with good intentions. Even though Lv Feng's cultivation base had dropped, his strength did not decrease. Even though the quantity of his magic power has decreased, it has become more solid and its quality is far better than before … "
"In that case, it seems like Sen Luo's force is just to restrict Lv Feng from cultivating by devouring the Plague Cauldron in the past … In other words, Lv Feng's mistake lies in devouring the Plague Cauldron itself …"
Of course, he knew what a Plague Cauldron was. It was a special cauldron used by cultivators who cultivated the Plague Technique.
Devil Cultivators who cultivated Dual Cultivation could increase their cultivation base by plucking cultivators of the opposite sex while cultivators who cultivated the Plague Technique could create and devour the Plague Cauldron to increase their cultivation base.
He did not know much about the cultivation of the Plague Technique. However, he could vaguely tell that increasing one's cultivation base by devouring the Plague Cauldron would cause one's cultivation base to be superficial and cause countless hidden dangers …
"If I have been relying on plucking human cauldrons to increase my cultivation base throughout my cultivation, I'm sure my magic power would also be superficial and I would encounter hidden dangers. Fortunately, plucking human cauldrons for cultivation is just one of the methods and not everything. However, for Lv Feng, it seems like devouring the Plague Cauldron is everything … "
With the similarities between the Dual Cultivation Technique and the Plague Technique, Ning Fan gradually gained enlightenment.
However, he could not guarantee that this enlightenment would be correct. Hence, he could only let Lv Feng try it himself.
Ning Fan remained silent. His facial expression kept changing.
Time passed by minutes and seconds. Gradually, Lv Feng's heart began to feel nervous.
"Could it be that my cultivation base can no longer return to the Fourth Tribulation Realm …? If it's Fellow Daoist, please tell me frankly. I can accept it!"
Lv Feng's expression was calm as if he was ready to die. After a while, he said resentfully, "My injuries are all because of that bastard …"
Suddenly, Lv Feng realized that he had made a slip of the tongue. He quickly tried to cover it up. "No, it's not that bastard's fault. My injuries are caused by the backlash of my own cultivation …"
"Fellow Daoist, you don't need to hide it. I can naturally see the cause of your injuries … You were injured by someone. The person who injured you must have done it with just a finger …"
Ning Fan shook his head and exposed Lv Feng's lie.
As soon as he heard Ning Fan's words, Lv Feng's face immediately revealed a look of surprise. He stuttered, "Fellow Daoist, you have really good eyesight. You can actually see that I was injured by the power of a finger …"
"How can I not see that? The person who injured you should be the Dark Light Finger. However, I haven't learned this finger technique and I can't help you resolve it …"
Ning Fan recalled Sen Luo's appearance when he used the Dark Light Finger every day. He gently lifted his finger and pointed it at the air.
Black light condensed between his fingers and then dissipated. That finger looked extremely similar to the Dark Light Finger. However, it was not able to grasp the essence of the technique …
"Fellow Daoist, you're really amazing! You actually knew that I was injured by the Dark Light Finger. Moreover, you can even display a little of it! That's the ultimate technique of the Dark Race! "Lv Feng's expression gradually became more shocked.
"The reason why you couldn't improve your cultivation base after devouring the Plague Cauldron must be the remaining force of the finger in your body."
"If I get rid of the remaining force, I can continue devouring the Plague Cauldron to cultivate, right?!" Lv Feng immediately said excitedly.
"I don't suggest you to get rid of the force. The person who planted the force in your body probably doesn't have any evil intentions …" Ning Fan sighed in disappointment.
Someone like Sen Luo actually had a kind heart … Yet, he did not say anything when he did something good. He even disdained to explain when he injured Lv Feng. It really matched Sen Luo's personality.
"How is that possible? The person who planted the force in my body is that lunatic! He destroyed my cultivation base. How is it possible that he doesn't have any evil intentions?! "Lv Feng snorted coldly.
Ning Fan did not want to argue with him on this matter. He just sighed and said, "From today onwards, don't use the Plague Cauldron to cultivate anymore. You should change to another cultivation method to comprehend by analogy. Perhaps, you might obtain some unexpected gains. This is my advice to you. I'll give this to you. Farewell! "
As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, he took out a jade slip. He scanned it with his spirit sense and engraved something on it. Then, he turned around and left without saying anything else.
That was all he could give Lv Feng. Besides, the guidance he gave Lv Feng was based on what he saw with his own eyes when Lv Feng was injured.
Lv Feng stood alone on the spot and watched Ning Fan leave. He held the jade slip that Ning Fan gave him in his hand.
After scanning the contents of the jade slip with his spirit sense, Lv Feng's face immediately showed a strange expression.
This jade slip actually recorded the experience of a Low Level Life Immortal Realm cultivator who cultivated the Dual Cultivation Technique.
"Erm … What does Fellow Daoist Ning mean by giving me the cultivation experience of the Dual Cultivation Technique? Is he hinting me to give up devouring the Plague Cauldron and change to the cultivation path of plucking human cauldrons? That shouldn't be the case. As a cultivator of my Southern Clan, Fellow Daoist Ning should know that the Plague Technique I cultivate requires me to guard my Primordial Yang and not to get close to women … "
Lv Feng pondered for a while and looked at the jade slip again. Suddenly, he understood something.
"Comprehend by analogy, comprehend by analogy … Could it be that Fellow Daoist Ning is trying to remind me that I can use the Dual Cultivation Technique as a reference to cultivate the Plague Technique …?"
"Devil cultivators who cultivate in the Dual Cultivation Technique are usually weak. It's very difficult for them to reach the peak of the Second Step. This is because they usually only rely on plucking human cauldrons to increase their cultivation base. Their magic power is usually superficial and their combat strength is naturally low … However, the person recorded in the jade slip not only plucked human cauldrons but also cultivated countless cultivation methods at the same time. Even though he is also a devil cultivator who cultivates in the Dual Cultivation Technique, he is extremely strong … "
"I've been cultivating like a mad devil throughout my life. I've turned countless people into Plague Cauldrons and devoured them. That's why I have my current cultivation base. Naturally, my magic power is also a little superficial … After my cultivation base dropped this time, my magic power seems to have become more solid … Is this what the saying 'fortune and misfortune depend on each other' means …?"
"Since I can't devour the Plague Cauldrons, I might as well give up and find other methods to increase my cultivation base. Is this the path I should take …?"
* Huff *
Lv Feng suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. The inner demons that had accumulated in his heart due to the drop of his cultivation base had all disappeared at this moment!
He had no idea whether Ning Fan had successfully guided him or not.
However, Ning Fan's words had rekindled his hope of cultivating to the Fourth Tribulation. The inner demons in his heart had been completely wiped out.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, you're indeed the benefactor in my life! If I can cultivate to the Fourth Tribulation of the Eternal Era again, I will certainly thank you properly! "
Lv Feng let out a hearty laugh. He looked deeply at the direction where Ning Fan had left. Then, with a leap, he left in another direction.
He could naturally tell that Ning Fan was going to the Divine Tomb. As for what Ning Fan was going to do there, he would not ask.
Of course, if Ning Fan asks him for help, he would do his best to help him.
In the past, it was because he wanted to please Ning Fan in exchange for a good word. Now, however, he felt gratitude.
