Chapter 299: Chapter 299 The Chaos in the Star Sea (1.0)
Xi Ran held her small and delicate face up, waiting for Ning Fan to beg her while contemplating within her heart how she should forgive him.
Should I request him to massage my back, knead my legs, or rub my shoulders? Or should I make him carry
on his back and run one hundred laps around the star island?
With innurable kinds of satisfying imaginations, she waited for Ning Fan to yield to her. However, what she got in the end was just a mocking expression from him.
"You want
to compensate you?"
"Of course! You’ve stolen one billion immortal jade from
and all my treasures too. I haven’t even gotten even with you about that. When I thought of marrying you without wanting anything back, you actually scolded and threatened to kill ! If I don’t take advantage of this opportunity to vent out my anger, I’ll really be dumb!"
Xi Ran held up her shriveled storage pouch as if she were trying to protest.
"If you want to know the correct thod of using the Star Tempering Purple Zoysia, you will have to make
happy first. Only then will I tell you! Otherwise, I won’t say it and make you die waiting for it! Without the appropriate thod, at least ninety percent of the dicinal power of the Star Tempering Purple Zoysia will be wasted."
"Hmm. Wasting is not a good thing. Let
see what the true thod of using it is..."
Ning Fan smirked. However, as soon as Wu Yan and Yue Lingkong noticed that expression on his face, their faces imdiately changed. Yue Lingkong had already experienced the power of his Mind Reading Technique. As for Wu Yan, after so many years since the incident in the Scripture Tower, she had faintly guessed that perhaps the strange conversation she had with him was so kind of bait in order to use his Mind Reading Technique!
Her hypothesis was proven to be accurate as soon as Ning Fan wore a crafty smirk on his face!
Activating his Yin Yang Locket and connecting the power of heaven and earth, whatever a woman thinks, heaven knows it, earth knows it and even Ning Fan knows it!
I see. So the true thod of using the Star Tempering Purple Zoysia is to transform my dicine Soul into jade in order to break the camouflage of the spiritual herb, roasting it over a fla nine tis and eventually a ’dicine slave’ will be required to consu the spiritual herbs in order to purify its poison. Only then will the full dicinal power of the spiritual herb could be unleashed...’dicine slave’... Hmm...
Ning Fan’s eyes sparkled and whispered to himself within his mind. He of course knew what a ’dicine slave’ was.
So clans which practiced pill refinent techniques would raise so of their servants to beco ’dicine slaves’. The ridians in their bodies would be discarded and they would be fed poisonous substances in order to enhance their resistance towards poisons.
It was actually a very cruel thing.
dicine slaves would at the very least possess a cultivation level of Vein Opening Realm. During the first round of consuming poisonous dicines, it was already considered a very fortunate outco if one out of one hundred slaves remain alive. After that, whoever passed that first test would be fed with substances with stronger poison. There would even be more people dying among those who survived. Normally, in the end, after sacrificing at least ten thousand people’s lives, only one person would be qualified to be the dicine slave.
Moreover, that sole survivor had to discard all his immortal veins. Otherwise, when purifying the poison of certain dicines, he would not only absorb the poison but also possibly take in so useful portions of the dicines and caused the dicinal power to go to waste.
When the dicinal power of the spiritual herbs activates and the poison residing within the herbs are completely expelled, soone would then extract the dicinal power from them using certain secret techniques and refine them into new dicinal ingredients.
Therefore, in order to obtain the complete dicinal power of the Star Tempering Purple Zoysia, one must possess a dicine soul, a dicine slave and the techniques of calcining the spiritual herbs. Not a single thing out of the three of them could be lacking.
Regarding the specifics of the thod of using the Star Tempering Purple Zoysia, Ning Fan had already found his answer from Xi Ran by asking her.
Concerning the dicine slave, there was no way he could specially cultivate one just for this purpose. If he really has no other alternative, then he would choose to take up the role as a dicine slave himself and cleanse the poison.
The only troubleso matter to him was the dicine soul.
"Do you want to know the true thod of consuming the zoysia?" Of course, Xi Ran had no idea that Ning Fan had already known everything.
"Actually, I also know a bit about the thod of consuming the Star Tempering Purple Zoysia. One has to transform his dicine soul to jade to break the camouflage of the spiritual herb and then roast the herb with flas. In the end, one will need a dicine slave to cleanse the poison... Am I correct?"
"Eh? How do you know all of these? This is the thod recorded in the Remnant Record of San Qing1 of our Profound dicine Race. Only the people who possess the royal bloodline would know about it. How co you know it?"
Xi Ran held her chin with her hand, contemplating the reason why Ning Fan could have access to that highly confidential information. After a short while, she gave him a confused look and shook her head.
"Apparently, you really are good in pill refinent as you also know this thod. I should not have underestimated you."
Yue Lingkong petulantly twitched her mouth whereas Wu Yan was feeling angry and amused at the sa ti.
Both of them knew that Xi Ran was tricked by Ning Fan using his Mind Reading Technique.
"What is a dicine soul?"
"A dicine soul is the light of the soul which is condensed by the dicinal qi! It’s strange. How co you don’t know anything about dicine soul since you’ve known the thod of consuming the Star Tempering Purple Zoysia... Hmm... You should try performing this hand seal..." Feeling even more perplexed, Xi Ran demonstrated a hand seal. Imdiately, the tips of her fingers began to flicker with a ray of deep azure light.
"This is the ’soul light’. You should have it too... Probably..." Xi Ran was not sure.
Ning Fan then followed her gestures and perford the sa hand seal. The next mont, a ray of faint green light glowed at the tips of his fingers. However, after a few seconds, it dispersed and vanished.
"Eh? You haven’t even congealed your soul light before?" Xi Ran looked like she had just seen sothing bizarre. She took a few turns around Ning Fan while stroking her chin. Her eyes were filled with the deep azure soul light as she was scrutinizing the color of Ning Fan’s soul light.
"It’s weird. Your soul light can’t be congealed but it has attained the green level, allowing you to concoct Early Grade Fifth Revolution pills... This is just unreasonable!"
Xi Ran was unable to understand what she had just witnessed. Ordinary people’s pill refinent level would not be able to advance into the Fifth Revolution without their soul light, even if they already congealed their divine intents.
However, what she did not know was that Ning Fan’s pill refinent techniques were all from an inheritance. At the ti when he obtained the inheritance, it was the mont when his soul light was dyed green with green dicinal qi and attained the green level.
However, with that soul light, it only allowed one to concoct Low Grade Fifth Revolution Pills. It was the reason why Ning Fan was unable to concoct pills of a higher grade.
"Your teacher didn’t teach you how to refine your soul light? Green for Fifth Revolution, black for Sixth Revolution and purple for Seventh Revolution... Did he teach you this?"
"No..." Ning Fan originally intended to say that he did not have a teacher. However, when he thought from another perspective, he realized that Old Devil was his teacher while Ancient Chaos and Zi Dou could also be considered as half a teacher to him. Thus, he found it unspeakable to say that he learnt everything by himself.
Ancient Chaos has died a long ti ago, whereas the life and death of Zi Dou is unknown. Old Devil’s pill refinent level is just at Fourth Revolution. Furthermore, he isn’t the type suitable for pill refinent, how is it possible for him to teach
how to refine my soul light...
The only thing I learnt from the Old Devil is that whenever I need pills, I should just rob others...
"Your teacher is really irresponsible!" Xi Ran seed to have forgotten that she was just being scolded by Ning Fan earlier as she began to take up cudgels for him.
anwhile, Ning Fan took advantage of the mont by using his Mind Reading Technique to learn whatever that was within her mind. Without needing much effort, he completely understood the thod of condensing the dicine soul. However, after he knew about that thod, he felt a little speechless.
The process of condensing the dicine soul would require a Fifth Revolution Pill Master to willingly give out a trace of his or her soul light and help the Peak Grade Fourth Revolution Pill Master refine his soul light using a secret technique. Only then could the dicine soul be ford.
To ordinary people, the chances of successfully condensing the dicine soul was only one percent. However, to Ning Fan who already has his dicine soul, he only needed so help from another Fifth Revolution Pill Master by giving him a trace of soul light and he could easily awaken his slumbering dicine soul.
Now, he had found out the thod. But it was certain that he would require Xi Ran’s help since there was not a second Fifth Revolution Pill Master in this world.
What if I just straight away let her purify the poison of the purple Zoysia? But I will still need to request her help... I guess I might as well just directly request her to help
condense my dicine soul.’
In the end, I still need to make this little girl happy first?
Ning Fan did not know what to say. He had never begged anyone for anything. Today, however, in order to heal the female corpse, it seed like he really had no other choice but to beg Xi Ran.
"What do you want so that you can calm down and help
condense my dicine soul?"
"There’s no need for that anymore. My anger has already subsided. After seeing how unfortunate you are to be tricked by an irresponsible teacher, I kind of sympathize with you... Since you already have your dicine soul, you just need a little more help to awaken it. It won’t be difficult... However, to awaken your dicine soul, you would need so ’Soul Refining Sand’. I know where in the Star Sea’s domain we can obtain such sand. Let
bring you there to get so..."
The originally unsatisfied little loli who only wished to seek revenge before had now beco a helpful little girl. After she grabbed Ning Fan’s hand, she began walking towards the exit of the abode.
Ning Fan’s expression beca slightly more friendly.
Apparently, this little girl isn’t that finicky and hateful as she looks.
Turning his head back, he stared blankly at the female corpse. His heart suddenly felt a sharp pain.
I must cure Weiliang...
"All of you shall rest for a while here. I’ll be back as fast as possible."
When he finished his words, his eyes flashed with determination. He then turned his hand, pulled Xi Ran to his arms and summoned his Fu Li demon wings. With just a step, the both of them vanished into a cloud of purple smoke and travelled across seventy thousand li* (500m per li).
Since Wu Yan had just recovered from her injuries, her countenance still looked a little unwell. Therefore, it’s better that she could get more rest during this period of ti. Moreover, with Wei Xuan’s prestige still lingering around and the protection from the female corpse and Yue Lingkong, there won’t be any creatures causing troubles to the abode.
"I don’t like owing anyone a favor. However, I have to say that I really owe you one!" Ning Fan’s tone was calm and indifferent.
"Never mind. You have also saved
earlier. Previously, I had accused you of feeding
aphrodisiac. I feel that I treated you really badly... Although I am a little dumb and I don’t know a lot of grown-up things, at least I still understand the principle of repaying those who have helped
before. Even though you are a thief who stole all my treasures, I don’t bla you. However, you must never scold
again in the future! And... And... Could you please let go of ? I’m embarrassed. I can actually fly on my own..."
Xi Ran’s heartbeat sped like crazy ever since Ning Fan pulled her into his arms. After all, it was her first ti being embraced by a man in her conscious state. It just made her feel too embarrassed.
"It’s dangerous for you to fly on your own. This Star Sea isn’t a peaceful place."
As Ning Fan’s voice fell, seven Nascent Soul Realm demon beasts which did not seem to understand death or danger erged and initiated attacks at Ning Fan in the form of silver rays. One of the seven beasts was actually at half a step away from the Divine Transformation Realm!
"Just a bunch of creatures courting death!"
Without uttering a lot of words, Ning Fan lifted his finger and seven beams of black sword light shot out from his fingertip. He then flapped his wings and travelled for another seventy thousand li*(500m per li).
At the original spot, the seven Nascent Soul Realm demon beasts’ bodies were all cut into two from their waist, dying the silver sea water red.
"Woah... You’re strong!" Xi Ran’s mouth beca slightly agape.
Seven of them were Nascent Soul Realm demon beasts and one of them was even half a step away from the Divine Transformation Realm. Even though I am a Late Divine Transformation Realm cultivator, I can only eliminate them by displaying demonic techniques. But he killed all of them with ease by just moving his fingers and producing seven rays of black sword light.
With such efficient and smooth ans, perhaps nothing could slow Ning Fan down other than Wild Beasts.
"Where is the sea domain which contains the Soul Refining Sand?"
"Let
think. I think it should be at this direction. At 120 million li* (500m per li) away from here, one million zhang* (3.13m per zhang) below the sea domain, there should be so Soul Refining Sand. My sense of sll will never lie!" Xi Ran said with a determined tone.
"One million zhang* (3.13m per zhang) below the sea? I’m afraid that there will be even more demon beasts assaulting us if we dive under the sea. You have to hold on to
tightly. Don’t even leave half a step away from !"
Ning Fan accurately positioned himself to the direction pointed by Xi Ran and disappeared in a flash.
Six days later, both of them arrived at the sea domain which was ntioned by Xi Ran earlier. With a purple flash, they dived deep into the sea.
As soon as they went under the sea, countless demon beasts instantly jumped out to attack them. Every single one of them transford from star spirits.
Among the beasts, so of them were Early Divine Transformation Realm Wild Beasts. Their presence made Ning Fan frown. He quickly held Xi Ran with one of his hands while using the other to draw out his Separation Slayer Sword. Utilizing his advantage in speed, he would approach every one of the demons which erged to block their path and then make a fatal slash on them!
Because of his rapid speed and the extre sharpness of his sword, even a Wild Beast at the Mid Divine Transformation Realm was instantly killed with a single slash!
The track he passed by was covered with blood. On his way to the bottom of the sea, he let no demon beasts which appeared on his sight to get away alive. After witnessing that appalling scene, within the vicinity of a thousand li* (500 m per li) around him, there was no longer any demon beasts which were reckless and bold enough to attack Ning Fan. Although there were still a large number of them spying on him from the distance, waiting for a chance to strike.
Xi Ran was completely stunned.
The current Ning Fan gave her a feeling that he was unstoppable. Anyone who tried to stop him would certainly die!
She then realized that back in the Second World, Ning Fan also occasionally killed so demons while he was travelling around the nine tribes. However, he could already be considered rciful to others already.
If he were to really had the intention to kill, none of the creatures residing in the Star Sea would survive!
Ning Fan’s presence at the bottom of the sea which was emitting dazzling silver light struck fear into every fish at that area, causing all of them to disperse.
Standing on the fine silver sand of the seabed, Ning Fan asked, "Is all the sand in this area the Soul Refining Sand?"
"Of course not! In one hundred million particles of sand, there is only one Soul Refining Sand. It’s not an easy task to filter out all the Soul Refining Sand in this area. If I let you find them, you will need at least three years to fill up half of this bag. However, if I am the one who gathers them, I will at most need ten days to fill up half of this bag... However, when I am gathering the Soul Refining Sand later, I will need to use my spirit sense using a secret technique. As such, I won’t be able to defend any attacks from the outside world. You must protect ! In the past when I was gathering the star sand, there would always be a lot of people protecting ..."
Xi Ran took out a small sack. Looking at the demon beasts which were spying on her from afar, she could not help but feel scared.
"I’m here. No one can stop you from gathering the Soul Refining Sand!"
Ning Fan let go of her and made a step away. The next mont, his dark sword sense spread throughout the area of thirty thousand li* (500m per li) surrounding them like a large do of concentrated dark ink.
Just as his sword sense occupied the area, hundreds of thousands of Harmonious Spirit Realm and Gold Core Realm demon beasts which were spying on him within the vicinity were literally shredded to pieces of at. The atmosphere was suddenly filled with a series of loud painful wails and cries which scared away so demon beasts.
"Get lost or die!"
The prestige from the Fu Li’s ancestral blood shot out from his left eye. Under that aura force, the rest of the demon beasts lingering around the area hurriedly retreated.
Get lost or die!
Currently, Ning Fan felt as if he had returned to the Demon Sinister Forest.
The killing intent within his eyes were like cold ice that would never lt for thousands of years!
Facing his look, all demon beasts which survived his dark sword sense began to feel fear coursing through their veins. Instinctively, all of them hurriedly retreated to a distance of more than thirty thousand li* (500m per li).
Despite being demon beasts, all of them felt like they were not the ferocious beasts in this scene but Ning Fan who was a true bloodthirsty monster!
One day... Two days... Nine days later, Xi Ran had obtained nearly 80% of the amount she required. For another half a day, she would then finish collecting enough sand to awaken Ning Fan’s dicine soul.
On the tenth day, sowhere far away in the sea domain, a large group of sea beasts was marching towards them.
Aside from that, there were countless ancient war chariots shining in silver light travelling across the sea at high speed.
This group of beasts could sense countless corpses of their kind piling up at this place. When they arrived and saw with it their naked eyes, all of them were petrified.
When they found out that there were only Ning Fan and Xi Ran within the area, an enraged and haughty voice reverberated from the center of the battle chariots, carrying an aura comparable to that of a Late Divine Transformation Realm expert.
"Who are you? How dare you block us, the vanguard? How dare you caused troubles in my Star Sea?! Hmmph! My troops, kill him!"
