In the inner hall of the Pill Palace, Xue Qing raised his old face and closed his eyes. He allowed Ning Fan to plant a Mental Seal on him, leaving his life in Ning Fan's hands.
Xue Qing understood that he had found out the secret of Ning Fans Fourth Revolution Dan Refinement Technique. He had even guessed Ning Fans identity as Black Devil Ning. Among demonic cultivators, prying into the secrets of others was a great taboo.
Therefore, he consciously handed over his life and willingly became Ning Fan's eldest disciple.
He, Xue Qing, could be considered a reputable figure in the Yue Kingdom. Was it a loss for him to become a young disciple? It was not a loss!
In just a short period of contact, Xue Qing could see that Ning Fan was not only easy-going but also extremely generous to his subordinates. For example, against Nan Wei, the first thing he did was to use the Yue Country's peerless medicinal pill, the Profound Spirit Pill!
This kid might be ruthless to his enemies, but he was never stingy to his own people. Xue Qing had lived for several hundred years and had seen countless people. He believed that he didn't misjudge Ning Fan. He also believed that the Old Monster was very satisfied with Ning Fan's character.
Giving his life to Ning Fan might seem dangerous but after some analysis, as long as he doesn't offend Ning Fan too much, he wouldn't be in any danger at all.
As for himself, he would be able to obtain Ning Fan's wholehearted pill concoction techniques and break through to the Fourth Revolution or even the Fifth Revolution!
Yes, Xue Qing was extremely ambitious when it came to the Dao of alchemy. He hoped to reach the pinnacle of the Dao of alchemy! Therefore, he risked universal condemnation and opened the lid of the cauldron to observe the formation of the medicinal pill with his naked eyes.
This was extremely dangerous. The energy used to refine pills was extremely violent. If one was not careful, they would definitely go blind. But Xue Qing was someone who was so obsessed with alchemy.
In order to improve his own alchemy skills, he had to improve his master's alchemy skills first. Therefore, he obediently handed over an ancient pill scroll that he had kept for many years and provided a clue about a pill devil.
"What? The Profound Yin Qi is in the Dark Sparrow's Grave, and there is a Pill Devil there?! "
"Reporting to Master, there is indeed such a thing. I saw it with my own eyes. I'm afraid that other than me, even the sect master might not know about it. "
"Then why did you tell me …"
"You are my master. Haha, if you kill that Dan Devil and obtain that medicinal pill, you will definitely give your disciple some soup to drink … Master, I think highly of you." Xue Qing laughed without any conscience.
Ning Fan held a tattered ancient scroll with a green cover and asked Xue Qing about Pill Devil Xue Qing.
The ancient scroll seemed to be left behind by an ancient Fifth Revolution Pill Master. It recorded many kinds of ancient pills. Other than those that Ning Fan knew, there was also a Fourth Revolution Pill for Fiendgod Body Refinement – Yellow Turban Pill. According to legend, this pill was used by the ancient Celestial Court to raise Yellow Turban Strongmen. It was a secret medicine. At the very least, Ancient Chaos didn't know the prescription. It was really a stroke of luck for Ning Fan to be able to obtain this prescription by chance.
Although the Yellow Turban Pill was far inferior to the Jade Royal Pill, it was still considered a precious medicine. If he could successfully concoct it, Ning Fan was confident that even if he didn't take the fourth Jade Royal Dan, he could still break through the Silver Light Body Refinement Realm and reach the true Silver Bone Realm. At that time, he would be able to fight against Nascent Soul experts with just his physical strength!
The only pity was that the main ingredient of the Yellow Turban Pill was missing an extinct spirit medicine — the Fire Maple Fruit. This fruit seemed to have appeared in Yue Country before, but it had disappeared once again …
Ning Fan did not know that the Ning City he occupied was originally the place where the Fire Maple Fruits grew. He put aside the matter of the Yellow Turban Pill and thought about another matter.
Pill Devil!
Xue Qing told Ning Fan that there was a Pill Devil in Sinister Sparrow Sect who could transform into a human form. According to Xue Qing, the Pill Devil could kill a Gold Core old monster with a single punch.
The Pill Devil was located in the first secret place of Sinister Sparrow Sect, the Dark Sparrow's Grave!
According to legend, a Dark Sparrow had fallen in the Dark Sparrow Valley where Sinister Sparrow Sect was located. In the memory of Ancient Chaos, the Dark Sparrow seemed to be a true spirit that was comparable to a True Immortal. The strong ones were even comparable to True Dragons and True Phoenixes.
The old ancestor of the Four Heavens Immortal World, Que Shenzi, seemed to have chosen this place to establish his sect because of the remains of the Dark Sparrow.
There was a Dark Sparrow's Grave a hundred thousand zhang under the Dark Sparrow Valley. It had nine floors. The Dark Sparrow's Grave was filled with Yin Qi. It could double the cultivation speed of evil techniques. It could be said that the reason why the entire Sinister Sparrow Sect was shrouded by Yin Qi and dense spiritual Qi had nothing to do with the Earth Vein. It was all because of the True Spirit Dark Sparrow buried here!
The remains of the Dark Sparrow were sealed in the ninth floor of the underground. There was a True Immortal level seal planted by Que Shenzi. There were Void Fragmentation old monsters from Rain Immortal World who wanted to seize the bones, but most of them couldn't even enter the seventh floor, let alone seize the bones.
As for the Profound Yin Qi that Ning Fan had been longing for, it was hidden in the fifth floor of the Dark Sparrow's Grave. It seemed to be hidden so well that even Void Fragmentation old monsters couldn't find it.
Dark Sparrow's Grave was only accessible to a few of the higher ups of Sinister Sparrow Sect. The first condition to enter was to swear the Great Oath of Heart Devil.
Never betray Sinister Sparrow Sect! Never reveal the secret of Dark Sparrow's Grave to outsiders!
As for the Pill Devil, it had only appeared in recent decades. The outside world didn't know about it at all. Only Xue Qing saw it!
He still remembered that night when he entered the third floor of Dark Sparrow's Grave alone.
"The air in that place was exceptionally cold and gloomy, making me feel extremely uncomfortable. I was in seclusion under a withered old tree. Beside me were skeletons who had been dead for god knows how many years. The surroundings were dark and there was a stench of rotting vegetation. "
"Suddenly, a cold wind blew past. Rustling footsteps could be heard in the darkness. The footsteps were very light. It seemed to be a woman. There was a very fragrant smell coming from her body. It smelled like a Fifth Revolution Pill. "
"I rejoiced and suddenly turned around. Guess what I saw!!!"
Xue Qing tried his best to describe the incident that night in an extremely terrifying manner. However, Ning Fan was still expressionless like a zombie.
"You saw the Pill Devil." Ning Fan said seriously.
"Uh … I'll continue …" Xue Qing choked. Why is this Ning Fan more rigid than this old man? He doesn't know how to joke.
"As soon as I turned around, a woman's face full of blood approached me from behind. She revealed her white teeth and gave me a strange sneer. She didn't have any feet! Without feet, how did she walk … "
Xue Qing wanted to tell more 'ghost stories', but unfortunately, he was interrupted by Ning Fan at this point.
"She flew, which means that her magical power is at least at the Harmonious Spirit realm. You also said that her strength is strong enough to destroy a Gold Core with a single punch. This Pill Devil isn't simple. With my current strength, it won't be easy to take her down. But if she's a woman … forget it. The Pill Devil has the body of a pill. It only has the shape of a woman. Without a woman's body, the Yin Plucking Finger might not be effective."
Ning Fan pondered for a moment and continued. "Moreover, the Pill Devil is very powerful. But you didn't die when you saw her. This shows that the Pill Devil isn't someone who is easy to kill. She let you go, but you still tried to seize her pill body. You are a little immoral."
Ning Fan's words carried a trace of reproach. Xue Qing felt ashamed when he heard it.
Although devil cultivators were ruthless and unscrupulous, the key to reaching the pinnacle of devil cultivation was the Dao of devils.
At least, repaying kindness with enmity was more shameful than being a thief among devil cultivators.
However, it was understandable that Xue Qing was greedy for the Pill Devil. After all, the Pill Devil was most likely a Fifth Revolution Pill.
"Er, master will handle the Pill Devil as you see fit. This disciple won't interrupt …" Xue Qing smiled. For the first time, a trace of respect rose in his heart for Ning Fan.
This respect had nothing to do with cultivation base. It was just his personality. To be honest, Ning Fan's reputation wasn't good. Because of his dual cultivation method, many people in the sect were pointing fingers at him. However, due to Ning Fan's tyrannical reputation, no one dared to offend him.
But today, Xue Qing found out that Ning Fan was a devil cultivator with principles. He might be ruthless in killing people and plucking the women in the world, but he had his own principles – never kill a benefactor!
Xue Qing asked himself. If the other old monsters in the cultivation world knew about the Pill Devil, they would definitely flock to this place. Whether it was kindness or enmity, nothing was more practical than a Fifth Revolution Pill. Ning Fan's heart was much firmer than those old monsters!
"Forget it. Don't talk nonsense about this matter. It's just a Fifth Revolution Pill. Master will concoct one for you sooner or later. What's the fuss?"
"W-What?! Master is willing to give me a Fifth Revolution Pill?! " Xue Qing's eyes shone like a hungry wolf. Even though it was just an empty promise, Xue Qing knew that Ning Fan was a man of principle. He would certainly keep his words.
As long as Ning Fan broke through to the Fifth Revolution Pill Master realm, he would definitely give him a Fifth Revolution Pill!
If he obtained a Fifth Revolution Pill, he would definitely not eat it. He would keep it as a family treasure and study it carefully for generations to come!
It was the right choice to acknowledge Ning Fan as his master. Ning Fan was really generous to him! Although it was just an empty promise …
"En, but you will have to provide the medicinal ingredients for the Fifth Revolution Pill yourself. Alright, let's go to the outer hall. I guess Nan Wei is already waiting for me. "
Ning Fan teased and took the lead to leave, leaving Xue Qing behind. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Fifth Revolution Pill? I have to gather the medicinal ingredients myself … but to concoct a Fifth Revolution Pill, I need at least five thousand years old spiritual herbs … I can't even get a single stalk even if I sell myself …"
Ai, I'll try to please Ning Fan again … I'll just let him use the medicinal ingredients to concoct the pills … He's a Fourth Revolution Pill Master after all. When he breaks through to the Fifth Revolution, he won't lack money …
