Of all the incidents that had happened this time, only her act of forcefully breaking through to the Mid Void Refinement Realm was considered impulsive and reckless. In regards to her action of devouring her second primordial spirit, it was certainly a decision within her calculations.
Therefore, it was, in fact, very unfair for Ning Fan to smack her buttocks.
However, what’s surprising was that she actually did not even return a slap to Ning Fan. It was just a little too incompatible with her demeanor.
Moreover, she had even given in to Ning Fan... Her brain must have gone haywire!
"Which island and what kind of magical item can heal the wound on your primordial spirit?" Ning Fan’s brows began to loosen slightly.
"Thunder Bamboo Island, a force affiliated with the Zhou Clan. On this island, there is a type of thunder bamboo. Its bamboo leaves have unique properties that can help in nourishing one’s primordial spirit, according to their age. Even if it is the crack on my primordial spirit, they can also heal it without an exception."
"Thunder Bamboo..." Ning Fan’s brows were gently knitted together again whereas his face revealed a deprecating expression. He, of course, had heard of the thunder bamboo before. However, he did not think that the thunder bamboo was able to heal Yue Lingkong.
As a matter of fact, before he entered the Internal Endless Sea, he had already inquired about the Thunder Bamboo Island.
The thunder bamboo was a mysterious and unusual magical item of heaven and earth. It grew on lands where massive thunder power was concentrated. Under the nourishment of the thunder power for a long period of time, it began to have magical effects. The bamboo leaves it produced had a nourishing effect to one’s primordial spirit.
However, common thunder bamboos only had the quality of silver bamboo. They could at most nourish the primordial spirit of Divine Transformation Realm cultivators.
Without a doubt, it was certainly unsuitable for Luo You to use silver bamboo. As for the crack on Yue Lingkong’s primordial spirit, it also might not necessarily be mended using the thunder bamboos.
As such, Ning Fan did not think that heading to Thunder Bamboo Island could heal the wound on Yue Lingkong’s primordial spirit.
Besides, the Thunder Bamboo Island was a force under the Zhou Clan. The background of the Zhou Clan was too deep and influential. Even Ning Fan dreaded messing with them.
The thunder sovereign of the Zhou Clan could still be on an equal footing with the Rain Palace even though he was already dead.
The third elder of the Zhou Clan was able to make two Void Refinement Realm experts of the Rain Palace feel extremely afraid even without showing himself.
Ning Fan did not know about the background of the Ghost Eye Clan but he knew one thing for sure: he could not afford to mess with the Zhou Clan. If it was not necessary, he would not want to have any interaction with them.
If it is necessary like Yue Lingkong’s case, he would not mind paying a visit to Thunder Bamboo Island once for her sake. Unfortunately, the medicinal power of the silver bamboos are too weak.
"Silver bamboos can’t cure your condition..." After pondering for quite a while, Ning Fan shook his head and said.
"Who says I’m going to use silver bamboo to treat my problem? I am one of the ’eight’ venerated beings of the internal sea. I have the right to use the bamboo leaf of the golden bamboo on Thunder Bamboo Island. Don’t tell me you aren’t aware of it? The venerated beings of the internal sea are the Thunder Sovereign’s subordinates. Each of us will be granted a piece of bamboo leaf of the golden bamboo every ten years! Other than that, as long as one has enough immortal jade, one can also purchase a certain amount of golden leaves."
Yue Lingkong’s eyes shone with a hint of pride and pleasure. She was certain that Ning Fan was not aware of the secret about the golden bamboo!
The existence of the golden bamboo had always been a secret that was not publicly known. Other than the supreme beings of the internal sea, only the Void Refinement Realm beings of the Zhou Clan had the qualifications to consume the bamboo leaves of the golden bamboo.
The grade of a golden bamboo was far beyond the silver bamboo. It was able to cure the injuries of a Void Refinement Realm being’s primordial spirit. It was indeed a precious item that was hard to come by.
Yue Lingkong deliberately pronounced the word ’eight’ with some emphasis than the rest of her words. Her motive of doing so was naturally to remind Ning Fan... Anyhow, he had established his devilish reputation by killing countless people in the Endless Sea and was regarded as the eighth venerated being of the internal sea by the others. Aside from that, obtaining that title could be considered as having the Zhou Clan’s tacit consent.
In other words, Ning Fan also had the qualification to consume the golden leaves. However, it had yet to reach the period of 10 years since he was recognized as the eighth venerated being of the internal sea, so he could not obtain the golden leaf for free. Most probably, he would have to spend some immortal jade to purchase some.
"Golden bamboo, huh..." Ning Fan nodded his head. If Thunder Bamboo Island really had golden bamboos, it would not be a pointless trip to bring Yue Lingkong there.
The distance between the island and their current location was one billion li* (500m per li). Even so, with Ning Fan’s top speed, he could reach that place in just ten days.
So long as they obtain enough golden leaves and help Yue Lingkong recover to her peak state, she could then activate the moon portals and guide Ning Fan to the Six-Winged Clan in the shortest time possible.
When the time comes, he could borrow the power of the Revival Platform to help the female corpse repair her Sea of Consciousness. Neither side could be neglected or delayed.
As such, Ning Fan no longer had any objections and doubts about the trip to the Thunder Bamboo Island.
At the deepest part of the secret area where Ning Fan had stored the Xuan Wei Bloody Gourd, he set up layers upon layers of formation techniques.
Of all the layers of formations, the lowest grade formation was a Divine Transformation Realm formation. All the formations concealed the last whiff of qi of the bloody gourd in order to prevent any Void Fragmentation Realm experts from discovering the bloody gourd and taking it away after encountering this place by accident.
Other than the handful of Void Fragmentation Realm experts in the Rain World, no Void Refinement Realm cultivator could pass through the moon mist and reach Divine Space Island.
On the other hand, it was unlikely for Void Fragmentation Realm experts to come and take a stroll around the Divine Space Island out of boredom. Thus, no one would be able to take away the Xuan Wei Bloody Gourd by hiding it here.
Ning Fan only had to wait for the bloody wine to finish brewing after ten years. Then, he could take the bloody gourd away and give his magic power a great boost.
When he was concealing the bloody gourd, Ning Fan extended his wings outward into the sky. Holding the female corpse and Yue Lingkong in his arms, they turned into a trace of smoke and flew out of Divine Space Island.
When they first arrived at this island, they came in haste. When they left the island now, the atmosphere was filled with desolation. The moonlight which shone upon the island became more and more gloomy and dismal.
In the next ten years, Ning Fan was not going to return to this place.
As for Yue Lingkong, she probably would never return to this land of sorrow again for the rest of her life.
The female corpse was quiet as usual whereas Yue Lingkong was absorbed in her thoughts. None of them spoke a single word within Ning Fan’s embrace.
Ning Fan stole a glance at Yue Lingkong and felt internally astonished.
There are actually times when this fierce and strong woman will also be quiet...
Ning Fan felt that after he helped Yue Lingkong regain her original body this time, their relationship seemed to have changed a little. It became somewhat ambiguous and could not be clearly explained.
If one has to describe this change, it was that... Yue Lingkong had become a little more obedient than before.
It’s beyond my imagination...
Ten days passed by. As Ning Fan travelled above the surface of the sea, the sea waves parted for him. The speed of his purple smoke had shocked a number of cultivators along the way.
Outside the Thunder Bamboo Island, he came to a halt. He placed the two women to the ground and stood in midair.
The Thunder Bamboo Island was not in a sealed condition but the formation light of the island had been activated. The formation light was not strong but its ability to sense things made the cultivators who come and go feel wary of it.
Ning Fan did not smash the grand formation recklessly and forcefully intrude the island like how he used to in other islands in the past.
When it was time to restrain himself, he would certainly act accordingly.
He and the two women descended on the Thunder Bamboo Island. As soon as their feet touched the ground of the island, more than ten cultivators guarding the island immediately approached them.
