Chapter 1113: Chapter 1113: Using Resentnt for Alchemy
Upon hearing this, The Man in the Black Mist fell into silence, taking a long ti before he spoke.
Indeed, just as Ning Fan said, the reason for his current strength was precisely because he had absorbed the souls of Cultivators as nourishnt.
The chaotic souls made him very susceptible to the influence of resentful spirits, and if he stayed in the underworld for too long, the rate of assimilation would be faster than that of a pure Cultivator like Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng.
"So, are you willing to work together?"
Ning Fan approached him and extended his right hand.
The Man in the Black Mist glared at him fiercely and after a long while, extended his hand and grasped Ning Fan’s.
"Fine, we’re only allies here, but once we get out, you’ll be the first one I kill!"
The power Ning Fan possessed filled him with both dread and envy.
That’s why, even under these circumstances, he had not abandoned the idea of devouring Ning Fan.
Ning Fan was well aware of The Man in the Black Mist’s thoughts, but in the underworld, even if the other wanted to make a move, they would have to consider whether they could survive afterwards.
Currently, their fates were intertwined; if one was dood, neither could hope to survive alone.
Only by working together would they have a chance to escape this cursed place.
"Let’s go, we now need to find a way out."
Ning Fan took the lead, with three people following closely behind, starting to explore the depths of the underworld.
Under the dim, blood-red sky, the group dashed on, occasionally stopping to change direction.
The Man in the Black Mist used the perception of the collective resentful spirits to keenly feel where the concentration of resentnt was strongest.
"The exit will be surrounded by countless resentful spirits who want to leave this place, so we just need to find the place with the densest concentration of resentnt, and that will be the exit."
Along the way, the group encountered many bizarre and strange things.
The first to confront them was the resentful spirit that had nearly killed Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng upon their first encounter.
It was the lowest form of resentful spirit in the underworld, its only thod of attack being a ntally targeted shrill scream.
They tested it out and found that, in reality, this type of resentful spirit wasn’t strong.
Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng had been caught off guard previously because he was taken by surprise and did not understand this type of entity.
With preparation, working together to vanquish these resentful spirits was not a difficult task.
"Wait, let
absorb this for a mont."
After another resentful spirit was vanquished, The Man in the Black Mist suddenly stepped forward and stood amidst the dispersing black qi.
The black mist around him surged, and the dispersed resentnt slowly rged into his body.
When he opened his eyes again, The Man in the Black Mist’s power had evidently increased.
"Indeed, the resentnt here can make
stronger."
He clenched his fist, feeling the overpowering force within him and showed Ning Fan a provocative smile.
Ning Fan couldn’t be bothered to engage with him, instead focusing on the dissipating resentnt in midair.
After pondering for a mont, he suddenly reached out and captured the lingering resentnt in his palm.
"Kid, you don’t plan on absorbing these resentful spirits, do you?" The Man in the Black Mist asked mockingly, "That’s not sothing you can absorb."
"Resentnt is to you Cultivators as poison is to ordinary people, even a little will make you feel unwell, and if you absorb it all, you’ll die imdiately," he explained.
Although he harbored thoughts of devouring Ning Fan, he didn’t wish for the latter to die here and now.
"Is that so? Perhaps there are other thods."
Ning Fan closed his eyes and began to recall relevant mories from his inheritance.
"I rember... there seems to be sothing related in my mother’s legacy..."
Soon, he opened his eyes again, looked around, and finally found sothing pitch-black, like a stone, under an old tree.
The Man in the Black Mist furrowed his brow, "That’s the residue left after resentful spirits have devoured each other, what do you want with this stuff?"
"You’ll see soon enough."
Ning Fan collected several commonly seen items from the underworld, placed them together, and began to sit cross-legged, refining these items with Spiritual Power in front of the three of them.
The Man in the Black Mist was stunned, "Are you planning to refine them into Elixirs?"
Ning Fan nodded, "If herbs can be refined, then these can also be refined."
The Man in the Black Mist turned to look at Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng, "Did your Sect Master ever act this crazy before?"
Putting aside the question of whether Cultivators could absorb resentnt, using these substances to refine Elixirs seed to The Man in the Black Mist an indication that Ning Fan’s ntal state was abnormal.
Could it be that his mind had been damaged by the resentnt?
While The Man in the Black Mist was pondering, Ning Fan had already begun the refining process.
According to the mories from the legacy, these resentnts weren’t pure trash, for they contained extrely intense power.
It was just that the negative emotions contained within ant they couldn’t be absorbed for Cultivation.
As the saying goes, where there’s a venomous snake, a cure can be found within ten steps.
The Alchemy technique within the legacy used the residues left after the resentful spirits had devoured each other and refined Elixirs with resentnt.
The Elixirs refined from it could absolutely be used for Cultivation.
However, rather than enhancing Spiritual Power, it would strengthen spiritual power.
Witnessing Ning Fan actually starting Alchemy, The Man in the Black Mist couldn’t help rolling his eyes, "Kid, you’re wasting ti doing this, our top priority now is to find the exit."
"According to what you’ve said, this world is full of powerful monsters, and if we can’t make ourselves stronger, even if we find the exit, we won’t be able to leave," Ning Fan replied without lifting his head.
