Aside from that, Ning Fan was able to discover some spirit refining grasses. These grasses were lost inheritance from the past but this ancient female demon still possessed such specimens. Demons would either refine their body or cultivate their spirit sense with them. And spirit refining grasses were undoubtedly the perfect items to strengthen spirit sense. So it wasn’t that strange to find these in her pouch. Her spirit sense was more powerful compared to ordinary early Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Speaking about spirit sense, Ning Fan’s could not match hers.
He would never let go of these grasses.
In addition, there were many jade bottles that were kept carefully.
All these bottles stored the blood of Primordial Yin from the virgins of Song country. The amount of Primordial Yin in all the bottles was enough to surprise even Ning Fan.
If he consumed all of them, his Yin Yang Transformation would probably improve by a few realms.
Originally, one of the reasons that he let go of the female cultivators from Song Country was because all of them had already lost their blood of Primordial Yin. Luckily, their blood of Primordial Yin was kept carefully and properly by the female demon.
Perhaps, when she had plucked enough, she would take the remaining back to her companion, the demon general. However, it was impossible for these items to escape from Ning Fan’s grasp.
He calmed himself down and looked through the items remaining in the storage pouch.
Gradually, his expression turned serious. He discovered a few ancient scrolls.
These scrolls were made of the skin of the ancient demons. Every scroll carried a great deal of demonic qi.
Among the seven scrolls, there were four of them which had the ancient demon characters that Ning Fan did not have any idea about. Meanwhile, the other three scrolls had countless dark blood traces on them.
Those ancient demon characters were very similar to the inscription on the Eastern Ocean Bell. Even so, they were not the same type of characters. There wasn’t just a single clan of the ancient demons. Therefore, there were different kinds of ancient characters.
Ning Fan felt quite helpless as he was unable to recognize those characters. In fact, the memory of Ancient Chaos Emperor could not help Ning Fan in doing so.
The four scrolls had recorded terrifying techniques of the demon race. Unfortunately, he did not have the opportunity to obtain their secrets.
As for the other three scrolls, Ning Fan was still able to make use of them. With Ancient Chaos Emperor’s memory, Ning Fan was able to know that the blood traces on the scrolls were actually one of the ancient demon race’s methods to inherit the technique.
There were two ways of inheriting the techniques of the ancient demon race. First, they were displayed in the form of their characters. Second, they were passed through blood traces. Demon characters were highly confidential and only those high-ranked demons knew about them.
Therefore, the scrolls that were written using the demon characters must be the unique technique of a specific demon race.
As for the technique inheritance using blood traces, they should be the fundamental demon techniques.
It was Ning Fan’s first attempt to try the technique inheritance using the blood traces on the scrolls.
He closed his eyes gently and recalled the correct method for the inheritance. After that, he placed one of the three scrolls on top of his legs. He began to move his fingers in an odd manner while making incantations.
Demonic arts were conjured using fingers. And the power of the spells originated from the sense. To activate the blood traces scroll, unique demonic arts needed to be used.
Blood Reading Technique. It was a low-rank technique. However, it was still arduous for Ning Fan to cast it.
Ning Fan conjured the art for the first time. The movement of his fingers were jerky and clumsy. The hand seal completely differed from the way that a cultivator casted spells using magic power. Their concept was disparate from conjuring demonic arts.
When he was drawing the outline of the technique using his fingers, he felt like he was hooking the sky and the earth. It was very enigmatic.
His first attempt ended with a failure. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
It was not unusual to fail. To conjure demonic arts, one’s speed in hand seals was crucial. The more profound the demonic arts, the higher the demand for the movement speed of the fingers.
Ning Fan was not familiar with the hand seal of the Blood Reading Technique. Ning Fan was even more unfamiliar in conjuring the demonic technique using his sense since he had been accustomed using magic power instead.
Therefore, under those conditions, the noble Revered Ning had failed to cast the low-rank demonic technique.
He tried casting the same technique over and over again but he failed every time.
It was as if he had something missing when he was performing the hand seals.
Aside from that, he also felt that he was restrained by an invisible force whenever he tried to use his sense to cast the technique. So, there was no other choice for him but to fail.
Other than failure, he performed the demonic technique forcefully with his human body, causing his fingers to swell up.
He gradually understood that the force that was hindering him was the difference between humans and demons. Failure was certain for a human to perform demonic arts. The root to that problem was humans did not have the demon veins.
Other than demon veins, there was no other way to perform demonic arts to activate the scrolls. However, without demon veins, he would not be able to cultivate the demonic techniques recorded in the scrolls.
Ning Fan smiled bitterly. He started to consider that he did not have enough luck to inherit these demonic techniques.
When he was shaking his head, a woman yawned and woke up. She was the woman inside the Yin Yang locket. It had been a long while since she fell into deep slumber after the battle between Ning Fan and Bai Feiteng.
“It was such a sweet slumber. Hmm? This is the ancient demon race’s blood trace scrolls? Where did you get it?!”
The mysterious woman spoke with a hint of shock for the first time.
When her eyes saw Ning Fan’s swollen fingers, she asked excitedly, “You conjured the demonic arts?! Was it successful?!”
“I failed…” replied Ning Fan with a bitter smile.
“You failed? How can it be like that?” The woman was a little puzzled.
“I possess the Yin Yang Devil Vein. Unfortunately, I don’t have any demon veins. Naturally, it is impossible for me to successfully conjure the demonic technique.”
“Wrong, wrong, wrong. You seemed to have inadequate understanding towards the Yin Yang Devil Vein. Let me ask you, how much do you know about this Immemorial Devil Vein? Do you even know why I would sacrifice so much and risk my life to acquire the inheritance of your cultivation method? With my status, I could have obtained any other fiend god’s inheritance easily. Furthermore, the others were even more powerful than Ancient Chaos Emperor’s inheritance.
*zhang = 3.13 meter
The woman’s words made Ning Fan hesitate.
His understanding of the Yin Yang Devil Vein wasn’t truly enough. Besides, there was not much of it recorded in the memory of Ancient Chaos Emperor.
Among the Immemorial Immortal Veins and the Immemorial Devil Veins, he had only seen the Corpse Devil Vein of the black corpse aside from the one he has.
Truth be told, Corpse Demon Vein was indeed more powerful than Yin Yang Devil Vein.
Yin Yang Devil Vein, which was also one of the devil veins, did not have its corresponding body refining technique. For example, the black corpse had the Corpse Transformation Technique as his body refining technique. Another example was the Bone Emperor whose true self Ning Fan hadn’t really met yet. He had the body refining technique that enabled him to transform himself into a tens of thousands zhang giant. Emperor Moksha too, had a strong fiendgod body refining technique.
It was all because the Yin Yang Devil Vein did not have its own accompanying body refining technique. Otherwise, it would have been unnecessary for Ning Fan to cultivate the Colossal Bone Secret Arts. If the Yin Yang Transformation cultivation method had its own body refining technique, Ning Fan was confident that he could transform into a hundred zhang giant fiend god with his current body refining realm. In that case, he would even be able to fight against an Intermediate Nascent Soul realm cultivator with just his first realm of Silver Bone.
