Grasping Evil

Corpse Life Pill was a Third Revolution Pill. It could prolong the lifespan of a refined corpse.

Ning Fan would refine this pill first. Originally, the difficulty of refining a Third Revolution Pill wasn’t high. After breaking through to the Fifth Revolution pill concoction technique, in addition to some energy consumption, he didn’t feel any trace of tiredness.

It was just as easy as concocting a Second Revolution Pill back when he was still a Fourth Revolution Pill Master. Besides, the quality of this Corpse Life Pill was even higher and there were several abstruse patterns on it.

Divine Rain Intent!

After adjusting his breath, he began to concoct the Nascent Formation Pill and Nascent Fortification Pill. Xue Qing was standing on one side, staring with his blazing eyes! The fact that Ning Fan could concoct a Third Revolution Pill so easily made him even more convinced that Ning Fan was a Fifth Revolution Pill Master!

As he was observing the concoction of Fourth Revolution Pills, his eyes widened even more, fearing that he might miss out a detail. His eyes were as big as the bulging eyes of a Rain Frog in the Rain World.

The Fourth Revolution Pill, Nascent Transformation Pill, would take at least half a month’s time to concoct.

The Nascent Fortification Pill, which was also a Fourth Revolution Pill, but was slightly lower in grade than the Nascent Transformation Pill would need at least ten days to finish.

However, when half a month had just passed, Ning Fan had already concocted the two pills! The breakthrough in concoction technique had made his concoction rate even faster! After devouring the Black Demon Flame and integrating it with the earth fire, his fire power soared, greatly increasing the success rate of his concoction!

Under the influence of the Divine Rain Intent, the two pills were branded with the Divine Rain Intent and radiated a densely moist intent.

At this moment, both of Ning Fan’s eyes had deep traces of rain intent. With a pat on the lid of the pill cauldron, he took out the last Nascent Transformation Pill.

Under the modified Nascent Grade Grand Formation, the Qi of the Fourth Revolution Pill didn’t cause any Heaven and Earth phenomenon and heavenly tribulation.

The pills were concocted! The exhaustion caused by the concoction of Fourth Revolution Pills in his mind was almost insignificant.

The Divine Rain Intent…Black Demon Flame…Nine Revolution Riverboat.

Virtually all the harvest that Ning Fan obtained in the Dark Sparrow’s Grave had boosted his concoction technique!

After sealing the three pill bottles, he put away the pill cauldron, pushed the door open and exited the room. Behind him, Xue Qing was still in a daze, completely immersed in those brilliant concoction techniques.

It was the Dao of Alchemy! And in Xue Qing’s heart, there was only the Dao of Alchemy. He finally realized that taking Ning Fan as his master was definitely the wisest move in his life! If it was another Fifth Revolution Pill Master, he would never take Xue Qing as his disciple and impart Xue Qing his concoction technique. Having Ning Fan as his master would definitely benefit Xue Qing!

Moreover, Ning Fan was willing to let Xue Qing stay on one side, observing his concoction process…Numerous Fourth Revolution Pill Master didn’t have such magnanimity!

“Many thanks master for imparting the concoction technique!” Xue Qing suddenly regained his senses and clasped his fists at Ning Fan’s back.

Ning Fan revealed his usual smile while his heart was calm and indifferent.

Yue Country was a low-ranked cultivation country.

Fourth Revolution concoction technique was enough to drive the old monsters of Yue Country crazy. As for Fifth Revolution concoction technique…even those Nascent Soul cultivators in the mid-ranked cultivation countries would be very polite to Ning Fan.

Even if he went to the high-ranked cultivation countries, those hidden Spirit Severing old monsters would certainly befriend him just like their peers!

There was a condition for these, however. His strength couldn’t be weaker than his opponents by too much, or else he would certainly be taken advantage by others no matter how high his concoction technique was. His adversary would capture and detain him, and be treated as a slave concocting machine.

This was the law of survival. Yue Country could no longer accommodate him.

In Yue Country, the spiritual Qi was very thin and rarely had 10 000-year-old spiritual herbs. He wouldn’t be able to produce Fifth Revolution Pills.

In Yue Country, there is no Lost World Palace that could shorten the cultivation time.

Yue Country lacked crisis and the experience of the sea of blood that could make his hair stand on its end. In Yue Country, there were only so few old ancestor figures.

If I continue to stay at ease in Yue Country, I won’t have the power to rival Moksha Emperor…As soon as the matter in Ning City is resolved, I will leave Yue Country, and head for the Endless Sea for core formation!

In Ning Fan’s eyes, a trace of intent of defying and slashing the heavens started blooming. It was just like the eyes of Que Shenzi when he saw the rain that year.

Ning Fan walked out of the high-level concoction room with this trace of disposition, and handed the three pill bottles to Lady Yun Hua.

Currently, his eyes seemed as though he was looking down on the whole world. His eyes were so fierce that the Harmonious Spirit Lady Yun Hua couldn’t dare to look Ning Fan in the eye.

Fortunately, this was a secret place. Upon seeing Lady Yun Hua’s fear of Ning Fan, Old Ancestor Jing Zhuo who had been staying in Lady Yun Hua’s body flew out of her body and snatched the pill bottles.

It was just that under the eyes of Ning Fan, Old Ancestor Jing Zhuo, too, felt shiver in his mind. He could see a storm of rain rising skywards against the sky in Ning Fan’s eyes.

What do this mean?! I’m afraid that not even a Nascent Soul Old Monster have this kind of disposition…

He averted his eyes from Ning Fan’s. As his spirit sense swept across the pill bottles, his face immediately revealed joy.

He didn’t know how to concoct these three types of pills, but he had heard about it and could distinguish it with his eyes. The quality of the pills in these three pill bottles was so much higher than his expectation!

“Revered Ning’s pills will be of great use to me. I can never repay your kindness!” He clasped his hands gratefully. Ning Fan had given him the hope to take revenge and extend his wife’s lifespan.

“You’re being too polite. I think Fellow Daoist Jing Zhuo should return to your sect sooner and get ready. The battle will arrive in no time…”

“Not to worry! On the day of Ning City’s encounter with the enemy, the Fire Cloud Sect and I will spare no efforts in assisting you!”

After a long talk, Jing Zhou returned to Yun Hua’s body and left.

As for Ning Fan, he strolled around Sinister Sparrow Sect in silence. It took awhile for the trace of intent of defying and slashing the Heavens to settle down.

This trace of defiance was acquired from the rain in the eight level of Dark Sparrow’s Grave, however, this belonged to Xue Shenzi instead of Ning Fan. He had no idea if such an intent was enough to form the core… After all, if he didn’t cut his sentiments, then he should have the intent to slash the Heavens.

Whether it was the Heavenly Dao or Dao Heart…whether it was avoidance, defiance, or submission…he needed to make a decision.

Also, should he share a little information about the destruction of Extreme Yin Gate to the two girls…?

He returned to Dual Cultivation Palace, entered the secret chamber and patted the Cauldron Ring to summon the two females, Bing Ling and Xue Ling. This time, it was a better timing. The two of them weren’t intertwined in a cuddle. They were merely chatting with one another, their faces blushed, however.

Realizing that they had left the Cauldron Ring, they immediately rose, their eyes glittered, and they saluted. “Servant greets Master…”

Servant…the two of them were supercilious girls. This was the first time they considered themselves to be slaves and had acted so lowly in front of Ning Fan.

Ever since Ning Fan discovered their sexual activity, they felt more willing to be Ning Fan’s cauldron.

They even wanted to stay by Ning Fan’s side. So what if they had to be a servant or a cauldron for the rest of their life? Here, they had the warmth and security of a home.

“Come out to have some breather. This time, you don’t have to go back again…” Ning Fan smiled.

“Not going back to the Cauldron Ring…? Master, could it be that you don’t want us anymore?!” Yue Ling shouted with a nervous look, while Bing Ling pouted her lips, feeling unsettled in her heart.

Their reactions slightly surprised Ning Fan.

He did have some plans for these two girls who both had an early Gold Core cultivation base. To Ning Fan, unless they were pluckeduntil nothing was left, they were useless, because dual cultivation alone had too little effect on raising the success rate of core formation.

As for plucking the cultivation base of these two girls…Ning Fan could no longer commit such a ruthless act on them.

Gold Core cauldron…Ning Fan could have had as many as he wanted on his way to the Endless Sea.

Given the strength of his black incarnation and the strange ability of Yin Yang Transformation, it wasn’t impossible for him to even capture a Nascent Soul cauldron.

Or he could spend a huge fortune to buy a Nascent Soul cauldron from the Godly Void Pavilion from the other countries for plucking.

Those females were orphans when they were born. They were raised only to be sold as cauldrons. Although plucking wasn’t a righteous thing, it wasn’t a frowned upon thing either.

If he just have a one-night stand with the sisters, Ning Fan perhaps wouldn’t refuse it, but if it was plucking the two girls like how he did to the fifteen real cauldrons in his Cauldron Ring, damaging their cultivation base and causing it to fall back to Vein Opening realm…he wouldn’t be able to do it.

“How nice would it be if I let the two of you go…” Ning Fan’s smiling face switched to a sigh.

“Master, are you really going to let us go…?” Yue Ling lowered her head, seemingly faintly disappointed.

“Master, don’t you forget that the Old Ancestor Purple Yin of Extreme Yin Gate is still searching for us. So we’d better not go on our own for the time being…” Bing Ling gritted her teeth.

“There’s one thing that I want to tell you two. Three months later, I will have a war with Purple Yin. If the two of you go now, Purple Yin won’t do anything to you two…additionally, three months later, the Extreme Yin Gate will perish!” Murderous intent glowed in Ning Fan’s eyes, but that wasn’t because of the two girls.

The two girls felt a quiver in their minds. This wasn’t only because of the murderous intent, but because of Ning Fan himself.

Back then, when the two girls were captured as cauldrons, their hearts sank. They didn’t expect the day that they would be given the opportunity to escape.

The chance to flee away was a great thing. However, right now, the two girls were in hesitation and even felt reluctant.

Ever since they were brought into Extreme Yin Gate, they had been nurtured into Gold Core cauldrons within several hundred years of time, but they were never happy. After being captured by Ning Fan, the scenes in Sinister Sparrow Sect allowed them to taste happiness for the first time. Those happiness might just be catching fish and having a meal with Ning Fan. It could also be during the time Ning Fan went ballistic when Bing Ling was injured.

The two girls sighed, because there was still a man who would kill for the sake of them.

It was true that Purple Yin was extremely angry when the two of them went missing, because he had lost his two precious cauldrons. When comparing him to Ning Fan, there was a touch of warmth in the way Ning Fan treated others.

“Master, are you really going to destroy the Extreme Yin Gate…? Both of us aren’t willing to go…” Bing Ling and Yue Ling exchanged a glance, lowered their heads and spoke softly.

“Unwilling to go? Could it be that you two want to be plucked by me?” Ning Fan was dumbfounded before revealing a teasing smile.

“If it’s useful to master…master can pluck us…having such a cultivation base is just a burden to us anyway…”

The sincerity and trace of girly emotions in their expression made Ning Fan put away his teasing smile, and sighed lightly.

The two girls didn’t know that the better they treated Ning Fan, the harder Ning Fan can be cruel to them.

“Alright. If you two have nowhere to go, stay with me for the time being… do you have any relatives or friends in Extreme Yin Gate…’cause after three months, I will annihilate the entire Extreme Yin Gate…” Ning Fan turned his head over.

“Except for the fifteen sisters whom you have plucked, there’s no one else that we know in Extreme Yin Gate…Old Ancestor Purple Yin didn’t allow us to get in touch with anyone.”

Yue Ling curled her lips snappily as she still remembered Ning Fan plucking her fifteen Harmonious Spirit subordinates.

But after that, the two girls felt a hint of warmth in their hearts.

Despite the fact that Ning Fan wanted to extinguish Extreme Yin Gate, he still asked the two girls if they still had any relatives in the sect. Could it be that he was unwilling to kill their relatives during the annihilation by mistake?

The concern Ning Fan had for them delighted their hearts. As for Ning Fan, he was rubbing his head, figuring out ways to deal with these two girls.

He was supposed to let them go, but these two girls refused to leave. In that case, he might as well keep them back in the Cauldron Ring temporarily.

“You two, return to the Cauldron Ring first…”

“No…we want to help you to deal with Old Ancestor Purple Yin…” Bing Ling’s eyes showed a hint of concern. She knew very well how powerful the old ancestor was.

“Right…when I return to Ning City, I will release you two again.”

…

After a brief conversation with the girls, he kept them in the Cauldron Ring and left the secret chamber of Dual Cultivation Palace.

This time, he had put the two girls in the same space as the fifteen cauldrons, so that they could meet again.

It was just that the moment he walked out of the secret chamber, he was immediately caught by the sleeve by Lan Mei who had been waiting outside the chamber for a long time.

“It’s a woman’s body fragrance…you are hiding a woman from me?”

Lan Mei secretly spread out her spirit sense to search the empty chamber and found nothing.

“I hide plenty of women. Does Xiao Lan want to be one of them?” Ning Fan smiled teasingly.

“Who-who gave you the permission to call me Xiao Lan…? You aren’t allowed to call me that! I have come to tell you that dad is looking for you. He only said that he had something to discuss with you. It’s about the lifetime event three months later.”

A glimmer of hope rose in Lan Mei’s heart. She had guessed that her father would probably talk to Ning Fan about their marriage. Whenever she thought of the word ‘lifetime event’ she felt sweetness, anticipation and nervousness in her heart.

A marriage…she would become Ning Fan’s wife soon. She couldn’t allow Ning Fan to chase after those loose women anymore… En, if there was chance, it would be better if she could make Ning Fan cultivate other types of devil cultivation.

However, when Ning Fan heard that Gui Qiaozi was looking for him, his eyes turned stern.

Three months…did Gui Qiaozi know about this…? Sure enough, Sinister Sparrow Sect also had spies in Extreme Yin Gate….Gui Qiaozi might seem carefree and easy-going on the surface, but he was full of subtlety.

It was true that both Sinister Sparrow Sect and Fire Cloud Sect had spies in Extreme Yin Gate, but it might also be true that Extreme Yin Gate had sent a spy in Sinister Sparrow Sect to watch Ning Fan’s every move.

Instantly, Ning Fan understood two things.

First, Gui Qiaozi was looking for him to talk about the things related to Extreme Yin Gate.

Second, he’d better not summon the two girls in case Extreme Yin Gate changed their plan after knowing about it.

“By the way, Zhi He and Sisi are also summoned by dad…” Lan Mei seemed puzzled. Why did Zhi He and Sisi had to be present when they were discussing about her and Ning Fan’s lifetime event? Could it be…could it be that her dad wanted Ning Fan to chase away the two girls and let her own Ning Fan?!

Uh…she didn’t mind the existence of the other two girls, and according to her understanding of Ning Fan, Ning Fan would never do such a thing.

Ning Fan might even give up marrying her for the sake of Zhi He…

What should she do? What should she do…? Would an argument or even a fight break out between her dad and Ning Fan…?

Lan Mei’s concern seemed somewhat deviated…

“I see, Zhi He and Sisi are already there… let’s go then. Bring me to meet my father-in-law…I would like to know what he wants to tell me.” Ning Fan smiled faintly, and exited the Dual Cultivation Palace, heading towards the Long Inclination Palace.

He vaguely guessed that Gui Qiaozi was hesitating whether to help Ning City confront Extreme Yin Gate after learning the conspiracy within.

If he could get the help of Sinister Sparrow Sect, adding the Fire Cloud Sect and the Three Black Demon Guards, he wouldn’t fear Extreme Yin Gate!
