Chapter 499: Chapter 499: A Battle Against Venerated Pill
The old man was indeed Venerated Pill, the lord of the Pill Island.
The old man did not feel strange when Ning Fan figured out his identity. There were only a few Sixth Revolution Pill Masters in the Rain World. After he displayed his Sixth Revolution dicine soul, it wasn’t strange for others to guess his identity.
Although he had just returned from his travels, he had heard about Ning Fan in different places of the Rain World.
Only when he t him in person today did he feel that seeing it for himself was much more convincing than hearing it from others.
As a Sixth Revolution Pill Master, Venerated Pill could be considered to be extrely well-known in the Rain World.
Even though he had yet to advance to the Void Refinent Realm, his status was much more respected than many Void Refinent Realm experts in the Rain World. Besides, since he frequently travelled around the world, his knowledge and experience were so vast that ordinary people could not rival him.
He had t a lot of Void Refinent Realm experts in the Rain World. However, when he sensed the strength of Ning Fan’s qi, all sorts of feelings filled his mind. Of all the Void Refinent Realm experts he knew, not a single old monster of the Void Glimpse Stage or the Void Inquiry Stage actually had a more vigorous qi than Ning Fan.
Looking past Ning Fan, Su Yan had already stored the silver boat and the twelve horned dragons and was standing behind him like a little girl who could inspire tenderness upon those who saw her.
This made Venerated Pill sigh with emotion. In the Rain World, Su Yan was also a Void Inquiry Stage expert whose na was widely known. But now, she has joined Ning Fan...
"As soon as I returned to the island, I received news that Revered Ming has suppressed the Mist Horn Devil Clan relying only on your own strength. I didn’t believe it at first. Now it seems like Revered Ming’s capability is probably unrivalled among Void Inquiry Stage experts... You have my respect and admiration!"
Venerated Pill glanced at Ming Que and recalled the misunderstanding between them earlier. Then, he continued with an earnest tone.
"My dharma na is Dan Songzi and I am a good friend of Dong Xu. After I returned, I have already heard from Yang Gu and the others about what Fellow Daoist did in the past. Since you have helped my Pill Island, we obviously owe you a favor. Besides, you are a feudal ranking elder of my island. Thus, I have no objections if you want to use our Soul Washing Pond. In fact, I will try my best to help you. Monts ago, I didn’t know that this little young lady was one of your people. That’s why we had a misunderstanding. I hope you can forgive
for my recklessness and carelessness earlier."
As a Sixth Revolution Pill Master, it wasn’t excessive for him to treat Void Refinent Realm experts in the Rain World as people on the sa level as him. Thus, it was completely fine for him to address Ning Fan as a fellow daoist.
"Senior Dan is modest. I’ve seen what had happened between you and Ming Que just now. Senior was just having a fair fight with Ming Que. Besides, you even pulled your punches during the fight. Let’s just drop this subject and forget about it altogether."
The reason why Ning Fan addressed Venerated Pill as a senior was not only because he was paying his respect to the latter for his Sixth Revolution Pill Refinent Realm but also because he was related to the Pill Sovereign.
From the perspective of the Dao of Alchemy, Venerated Pill’s pill refinent skills and seniority were higher than Ning Fan. Thus, it was completely appropriate for Ning Fan to view him as his senior.
Venerated Pill was stunned upon hearing how Ning Fan addressed him. Then, he shook his head and laughed.
"Between you and , there is no need for you to address
as your senior. It’s just like how you interact with Dong Xu, we should treat each other as people of equal status. My pill refinent realm is at the Low Grade Sixth Revolution and I am ranked seventh among the pill refinent masters in the Rain World. As for you, you are said to have Peak Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Refinent Realm and you were even given the title of ’The Eighth Pill Refinent Master of the Rain World’. Perhaps you can break through to the Sixth Revolution in a single try by using the Soul Washing Pond... Thus, you don’t have to call
your senior."
"It’s extrely difficult to advance my pill refinent realm to the Sixth Revolution. To be honest, I don’t have much assurance about whether or not I can attain the Sixth Revolution in a single try on this occasion. However, since Senior insists on seeing
as a friend of equal status, then I will boldly address senior as Fellow Daoist. Fellow Daoist Dan, if I may ask, has the Soul Washing Pond been fully prepared already? When will I be able to enter the pond?"
"The Soul Washing Pond has already been unsealed up to the fourth level. In another ten days, it will be unsealed up to the sixth floor. Fellow Daoist will need to wait for at least ten more days. Only after that can Fellow Daoist use the pond." Venerated Pill explained.
"The fourth floor and the sixth floor?" Ning Fan did not know much about the Soul Washing Pond. Thus, he was not aware that the pond was divided into different floors.
"Ah. I was being careless. Fellow Daoist, please have a look at this jade slip. It has a detailed introduction about the Soul Washing Pond." Venerated Pill took out a jade slip and passed it to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan spread his spirit sense to the jade slip. The information within it flowed into his mind.
The Soul Washing Pond of the Pill Island had the unique power of nourishing and strengthening a pill refinent master’s dicine soul. The power was known as the "Soul Bathing Light".
The intensity of the Soul Bathing Light differs according to the depth of the pond. The Pill Island divided the pond into seven floors of pond domains where each of them were restricted by a seal.
The first floor had the weakest Soul Bathing Light. This floor was commonly used by Peak Grade Fourth Revolution Pill Masters to break through to the Fifth Revolution.
The second floor could help improve the dicine souls of Low Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Masters.
As for the third, fourth and fifth floors, they were prepared for Mid Grade, High Grade and Peak Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Masters to temper their dicine souls.
In order to achieve the Sixth Revolution Pill Refinent Realm, the sixth floor was the best one to train one’s dicine soul.
The seventh floor was the deepest level of the Soul Washing Pond. The Soul Bathing Light on that floor was terrifyingly powerful. Normally, only Mid Grade Sixth Revolution Pill Masters would be able to endure this level of Soul Bathing Light.
Even Venerated Pill himself was not brave enough to temper his dicine soul on the seventh floor.
"I see." Ning Fan returned the jade slip to Venerated Pill and went silent for a short while.
Now, the Soul Washing Pond had been unsealed up to the fourth floor which could allow High Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Refinent Master to enter and cultivate. However, the Soul Bathing Light on the fourth floor would not have much effect on Ning Fan’s dicine soul.
In order to borrow the Soul Bathing Light of the pond to increase the level of his dicine soul, Ning Fan would need to enter the fifth floor at the very least.
And if he wants to attain the Sixth Revolution dicine soul in one go, the sixth floor would be the best option.
Considering that only true Sixth Revolution Pill Refinent Master could normally enter the sixth floor, Ning Fan felt that he probably would need to consu so pills to protect himself in order to enter the sixth floor without any worries with his current dicine soul.
"It seems like I have to trouble your Pill Island for ten days." Ning Fan broke the silence.
"Hehe. Anyhow, you are a feudal ranking elder of my island. Just set your mind at ease and stay on this island for ten days. I will ask Huang Tingzi, Yang Gu and others to prepare so pills and spiritual equipnt for you to protect yourself when you enter the sixth floor of the Soul Washing Pond. In your stay in the Pill Island, you can go to any library on the island and study whatever pill recipes or records as you wish. If you discover a pill recipe that you like, you can just directly make a copy of it for yourself. No one will stop you. Besides, if Fellow Daoist wants to know so experiences and insights regarding the breakthrough to Sixth Revolution Pill Refinent Realm, you can always look for
anyti. I will certainly share with you everything I know."
Venerated Pill sounded easygoing and accommodating. What he said was similar to tacitly giving Ning Fan the permission to do whatever he wants on the island.
At the next mont, he seed to have thought of sothing new. His eyes actually lit up, looking eager to try sothing out.
"I intend to have an exchange of dicine soul battle techniques with you. I wonder if you are interested."
"Exchange techniques?" Ning Fan sounded slightly surprised.
"Precisely. I believe Fellow Daoist has already seen the Soul Transforming Dragon I used previously. That is actually a battle soul technique that I obtained from an ancient cultivator’s tomb. At present, I’ve reached the bottleneck of this technique’s cultivation and I need to swap battle soul techniques with others in order to achieve the breakthrough. I heard that you’ve learned Pill Sovereign’s battle soul technique which is why I am interested in having a friendly fight with you. Of course, I’m going to pull my punches as well. But if you aren’t willing to do so, I certainly won’t force you either..."
"I’m fine with that. I’m willing to fight Fellow Daoist Dan since it will help you in breaking through the bottleneck of your battle soul technique. Now, please!"
After Ning Fan said the word "please
