The scripture was actually a wood element cultivation method. Consuming the demon blood with its help would grant him the wood element demon power.
On the first day, Ning Fan extracted three strands of blood to consume.
On the second day, he extracted eleven of them.
When the third day came, he consumed forty-five strands of blood in total.
The more strands of blood he consumed, the larger his original demon bloodline grew. Now, that strand of blood in his body became a droplet of blood which was light green in colour.
After ten days, the yellowish demon blood was thoroughly consumed by Ning Fan. His demon power broke through to the Mid Harmonious Spirit Realm!
“The second droplet, the blood of the white snake… I should be able to devour it within three days!”
He calmed his mind and consumed the second droplet of blood with full focus.
On the thirteenth day, the blood of the white snake was completely assimilated into his demon blood. His demon power broke through to the Late Harmonious Spirit Realm!
There was only the light golden blood left. However, this last droplet of blood was even more difficult to consume compared to the previous droplets of blood. It was because it belonged to one of the demon general’s twelve companions. It was a genuine a Mid Nascent Soul Realm demon. This droplet of blood was comparable to twenty droplets of the white snake’s blood!
For that last droplet, it took Ning Fan ten continuous days.
When it was finally absorbed into his demon blood, his demon power successfully broke pass the Peak Harmonious Spirit Realm.His demon power was now considered to be at the Half-Step Gold Core Realm!
Although his Gold Core was still unreal, it became a little more solidified when he enhanced his demon power.
The fusion of magic power and demon power made him to be on par with an Early Gold Core Realm cultivator who is a hair’s’ breadth away from achieving Mid Gold Core Realm. If he was to face a Mid-Gold Core Realm cultivator, he was not any weaker than him!
“Nice demon blood…”
He then suppressed his demon power within his body and the intense demon qi flashing across his eyes vanished. Now, the normal expression he wore surfaced on his appearance again.
His gaze turned to the Immemorial Star in the medicinal bath. The demon qi had already been removed. His lips curved satisfyingly and he kept it.
He stood up and went to the ground floor of the building.
It was drizzling outside and under the light rain stood a girl with bare feet, holding an [2]. Apparently, she had been standing there for quite a while.
Ning Fan did not expect her to appear here.
“Is there something that you want from me since you’ve been waiting here for so long?”
“Yes. Can we talk inside?”
Yun Ruowei’s gaze lingered on Ning Fan’s body. She discovered that a trace of demon qi had yet to entirely dissipate from him. That discovery amazed her inwardly.
Why did he possess demon power? I thought he was supposed to be the descendant of the Black Devil and the veins he has should be the Immemorial Devil Veins.
Yun Ruowei did not have an answer. In fact, there was a lot more she did not understand about. Another unsolved mystery was the Divine Star of Lightning. How come a cultivator that carried Immemorial Devil Vein can possess a Divine Star?
Since the demon qi emanated from Ning Fan’s eyes, it gave her a sense of familiarity.
“What? Is there anything on my face?”
“No. It’s just that you resembled two of my old friends…” Yun Ruowei answered while entering the building. Her heart thumped a little more rapidly than usual.
“Oh I see. There are hundreds of millions of cultivators sharing the same heaven as us. It’s not uncommon to find someone who look alike.”
In the first floor, Ning Fan waved his sleeve and a teapot flew to their cups and filled them up.
By just releasing some of his magic power, the tea instantly became warm, carrying a whiff of aroma.
“Please have a seat… This cup of tea is a token of my apology for my bold and disrespectful actions in the past. I hope you are magnanimous enough to forgive my wrongful deed.”
“Forgive you? I once considered to forgive you but what you did back then was too shameless that it created a Heart’s Devil within me. Do you know how troublesome this Heart’s Devil was?”
After she finished replying, she held the cup of tea up in the air, causing the silver bell around her wrist to ring.
This tea indeed has a good aroma It wasn’t brewed using ordinary spiritual tea leaves. If I’m not mistaken, it is the taste of thousand-year-old medicinal leaves. His lifestyle is really luxurious!
Her lips blew gently on the surface of the tea making the fragrance of it fill the air. When she almost finished drinking the entire thing, a thought suddenly came up in her mind and made her stop.
She stared indifferently at Ning Fan and asked, “You didn’t brew this tea using any aphrodisiac ingredients, did you?”
“Do I appear to be that brazen in your view? Speaking of that issue, if I really want to take advantage of you, it would be impossible for you to walk out of this building safely judging from my current strength and my Yin Plucking Finger.”
“You dare?!” Yun Ruowei became ashamed and angry. With those emotions clouding her thoughts, her grasp on the cup loosened, causing it to fall onto the ground and shatter.
She knew that the tea she wasted was precious and the cup she broke was worth its weight in gold. Immense guilt invaded her heart but she stubbornly refused to surrender and apologize to Ning Fan.
Irritating, it’s so irritating!
Moreover, she was sitting face to face with Ning Fan. With Ning Fan in front of her, her Heart’s Devil began to haunt her even more!
Ning Fan helplessly shook his head and silently thought deeply about the message within her words.
He poured another cup of tea for Yun Ruowei again. At the same time, he was guessing her intentions in coming to seek for him.
Was she trying to get my help to eliminate her Heart’s Devil? Is it possible that I created the Heart’s Devil in her when I defiled her using my Yin Plucking Finger in the past?
“Please use your tea. Don’t worry. It’s just tea.”
“Fine…” Yun Ruowei held her cup of tea once more and sipped lightly. As the tea entered her stomach, she felt energized and refreshed.
This tea is really brewed using thousand-year-old tea leaves. Even among the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, not many of them are as extravagant as him…
“Miss Yun, do you come to seek my help to eliminate your Heart’s Devil?”
“Precisely! However, it’s not a request. It’s an order. You have yet to compensate me for being impertinent towards me!”
