A contented smile emerged on her delicate face. Her grateful eyes were looking at Ning Fan.
“This is delicious! This Pill Cookie is delicious! I love them!”
“Is that so…”
Ning Fan’s eyes fell upon the Accumulated Furnace Pills in the cauldron. He shook his head with a bitter smile. This kind of pill contained tremendous energy. Only someone who had a devil physique like Bright Sparrow’s could swallow it. Even if his body refining realm reached the Silver Light Sixth Realm, swallowing this pill would only bring harm to him.
However, the thing that caught his attention the most was that the quality of these pills was higher than before, despite him not being serious and very hasty in concocting the pills.
Why?
His spirit sense swept through the pills in Bright Sparrow’s hands. All of a sudden, he discovered that on the surface of every pill had some damaged patterns.
Within these patterns was a trace of divine intent, like the Divine Intent of Rain in the rain!
However, it wasn’t the complete Divine Intent of Rain, just a fragment of it. Or else, the quality of these pills wouldn’t just be slightly better.
“I have actually acquired a trace of Divine Intent of Rain on the third level! This is…”
His eyes seemed to have mixed feelings. In his heart, there were both joy and disappointment.
The thing that delighted him was his enlightenment on the third level. If he could go all the way to the ninth level of the Dark Sparrow’s Grave and acquired all the insights of Que Shenzi, it would highly be possible that he would acquire the complete Divine Intent of Rain!
If so, he could most likely refine Fifth Revolution Pills using the Divine Intent of Rain, and by doing so, he would advance to the Fifth Revolution Pill Master!
Getting to Fifth Revolution would only require a Void Spirit Intent, but the difference between the effects of Fourth Revolution and Fifth Revolution pills was like day and night. Fourth Revolution Pills might attract Nascent Soul old monsters, however Fifth Revolution Pills might even attract Spirit Severing old monsters if the quality of the pill was higher!
The word ‘spirit’ in Spirit Severing represented the Spirit Intent! Without the Spirit Intent, one wouldn’t be able to refine Fifth Revolution Pills. That was why a Fifth Revolution Pill could shake even a Spirit Severing Expert’s heart!
He remembered that the mysterious girl mentioned that Pill Masters would get preferential treatment in the Lost World Palace. If his pill refinement advanced to the Fifth Revolution, he would be able to enter a higher level in the Lost World Tower, and enjoy the slower flow of time, the higher the level meant that time was twice slower compared to the levels below, and this could save him another half of his time to form the core!
Due to him being pleased that the result was beyond his expectation, he felt helplessly disappointed.
How could it be easy to walk through the entire nine levels of the grave and acquire the Divine Intent of Rain? Given his cultivation base, after entering the fourth level, he would definitely be besieged by Nascent Soul demonic beasts and would likely be killed in the process. Should he enter the fifth level, he would have to confront Spirit Severing demonic beasts, which he couldn’t even resist. If he went deeper…
From the seventh level onwards, not even Void Fragmentation old monsters of Rain Palace could enter. So how could he ever go that far…? He was truly getting somewhat greedy on this. It was already rare enough for a peak Harmonious Spirit cultivator to acquire a trace of Divine Intent of Rain, let alone acquiring the complete Divine Intent. It wasn’t because of his lack of fortune, but his realm of magical force was just too far from enough to acquire it.
…
“I was being greedy…”
Ning Fan put away his emotions. After suppressing the desire that was constantly grilling him just now, his mental state was enhanced once more.
There was Profound Yin Qi in the fifth level of Dark Sparrow’s Grave.
There was the Immortal Bone of Dark Sparrow and the complete insight of Que Shenzi in the ninth level of Dark Sparrow’s Grave.
There is also the Ming Luo Fruit hidden in the grave.
However, it seemed like his fortune had stopped right here…
“Forget it. I’ll stay here for now and devour the Black Demon Flame…”
Earth Vein Demonic Flames were all Fifth Grade Spiritual Fire. He now possessed two kinds of these flames, the Black Demon Flame and White Bone Flame. As for the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi, he now had one type of them, the Bone Prison Qi.
Among the twelve Earth Vein Demonic Flames, the Black Demon Flame was ranked sixth and the White Bone Flame was ranked eleventh, whereas the Bone Prison Qi was ranked twelfth amongst the twelve Heavenly Frost Cold Qi.
As his realm and cultivation law continued to improve, Ning Fan would naturally have a clearer understanding of them.
Under the main cultivation law, the Yin Yang Transformation, his double spirit evil vein was divided into two cultivation laws, the Black Demon Art and Snow Treading Art.
The dual cultivation of Ice and Fire, the combination of Yin and Yang, the white robe and black cloak and even the disposition of being cold on the outside and warm on the inside accorded closely with the Grand Dao of Yin Yang!
After getting the pills, the little girl fastened up the brocade pouch, left the scene happily with the ‘Pill Cookies’ still in her mouth.
Ning Fan then deployed a protective formation in the third level of the Dark Sparrow’s Grave and went into seclusion for ten days to devour one type of demonic flames.
This perhaps would be the last enhancement of magical force before the core formation!
…
It only took him ten days to devour the Black Demon Flame. This was not only because Ning Fan had refined one of the nine dragons, but also because the flame had been tamed by the Old Monster for many years. When the flame was transferred to Ning Fan, the spiritual consciousness of the flame had already been wiped off, which reduced the difficulty of Ning Fan devouring the flame.
Vaguely, there were black flames flickering in Ning Fan’s eyes. He pointed forth with one of his hands casually, and immediately, nine lifelike black dragons roared their way out! Even without using any magical technique, this fire alone could destroy any Harmonious Spirit expert!
During the refinement of the Black Demon Flame, Ning Fan’s cultivation base made a breakthrough once more, leaving him only a step away to the Gold Core realm.
In his dantian, an illusory black and fiery core had been condensed. Surrounding the pill, an immense momentum dispersed all of a sudden!
His cultivation base had successfully broken through to the half-step Gold Core realm, also known as the False Core realm!
An illusory core had been formed in his body. The success rate of breaking through to the Gold Core realm was doubled at this level. At least, he could save years of lonely drudgery in seclusion.
Moreover, his magical force was doubled, which made it even easier for him to defeat an opponent like Bai Feiteng.
The scorching Qi of magical force gave Xue Qing, who was next to Ning Fan, a hard time to breathe. To him, Ning Fan’s momentum seemed to be even stronger than the ten strongest Old Devils of Yue Country.
This was the pupil that surpassed even his teacher!
“False Core realm… The only thing left is to abandon the sentiments…”
Ning Fan closed his eyes slightly. Instead of feeling joyful about his breakthrough, he seemed concerned.
For the first time, he realized that his state of mind couldn’t keep pace with his rate of advancement…
After refining the Black Demon Flame, there was still the White Bone Flame that could be refined in his Yin Yang Locket, but he didn’t choose to do so.
If he continued to devour the flame, his magical force would improve once more, making it very difficult for him to suppress his cultivation; by that time, he would need to go into seclusion to form his core at once, or else, his body would explode and he would certainly die.
