Chapter 10
While the Ning family was fast asleep, Ning Yue carefully returned to his room.
To prevent anyone from disturbing him, he found a piece of paper and wrote "Do Not Disturb" outside the door.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm himself down and adjust his condition to his peak.
"Let me try the pill first."
Taking out the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Ning Yue did not hesitate and threw it into his mouth.
As the Marrow Cleansing Pill entered his mouth, a slightly cold aura spread in his mouth. A moment later, a wave of scorching energy rushed into his body.
With a calm face, Ning Yue quickly formed hand seals and circulated the Spiritual Art. His breathing gradually stabilized, and the originally blocked meridians in his body were gradually broken through by the scorching energy.
The huge amount of medicinal energy in the blocked meridians was also guided by the Spiritual Art and circulated throughout his body.
"I didn't expect there to be so much Spiritual Qi in my meridians!"
Following the change of Ning Yue's hand seals, the majestic Spiritual Qi in his body instantly shrunk into his sea of consciousness.
"Bang! Bang! "
In the next moment, two crisp sounds could be heard in the room.
Ning Yue quickly checked his body and saw that all the blocked meridians in his body had been broken through, and the abundant Spiritual Qi in his body dispersed!
Body Tempering Stage Ten!
"Phew!"
Letting out a long breath, Ning Yue's eyes were filled with excitement.
However, he did not forget what he was supposed to do. He took out the cauldron and the herbs he had bought.
"Although it is still lacking compared to my Heavenly Fire Cauldron, it is enough to refine the grade-two Guyuan pill." Ning Yue threw the cauldron into the air and moved his fingers. Instantly, a white flame appeared under the cauldron.
Sizzle!
After being burned by the white flame for a short while, the cauldron let out a sizzling sound.
Ning Yue quickly took out a set of herbs for the Guyuan pill and placed them all into the cauldron.
When he was refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill at the Snow Domain Pavilion, Ning Yue was only at the eighth-stage Body Tempering Realm. His Primordial Qi was severely insufficient, and his cauldron was of inferior quality.
Now that he had advanced to Body Tempering Stage Ten, not only was he full of Primordial Qi, even his equipment had been upgraded, and his cauldron was much better.
Therefore, in order to save time, Ning Yue directly used this refining method!
After about a quarter of an hour, the flames in the pill furnace soared into the sky.
"Get out of here!" growled Ning Yue. With a flick of his wrist, he pushed down, causing all of the flames to retreat back into the pill furnace.
Buzz!
Following that, the pill furnace began to emit a buzzing sound. Ning Yue knew that the first Guyuan pill was about to be successfully refined!
"The pill is complete!"
This situation did not last long. With a low shout from Ning Yue, the three Guyuan pill broke through the cauldron and fell into the jade bottle that he had prepared earlier.
"One supreme-grade and two superior-grade." Looking at the quality of the pills in the jade bottle, Ning Yue nodded his head.
With his current condition, it was already good enough that he could refine one supreme-grade pill in one furnace.
He believed that the next nine furnaces of Guyuan pill would definitely contain many supreme-grade pills!
Taking a deep breath, Ning Yue circulated the Spiritual Skill to recover some of his Primordial Qi. Then, he started to refine the second furnace of Guyuan pill!
While Ning Yue was refining the Guyuan pill, in Tianxuan City, the Lin family.
In a secret chamber that was not considered spacious, it was unusually quiet.
"Lin Zhen, say something. What should we do next!"
Inside the secret chamber, Wang Qinian paced back and forth with a gloomy face. He could not help but break the silence.
"That's right, Lin Zhen. We can't just watch the Ning family snatch away two spots for the assessment, can we?" Zhao Lie said coldly, "If the three families suppress the Ning family like this, once Ning Yue successfully enters Danwu College, will we still have a good life in Tianxuan City?"
Lin Zhen's eyes narrowed and he said coldly, "The Ning family will not get a single spot for the assessment in the Ice Cave! I've already contacted the Barbarian Corpse King! With him around, it will be difficult for Ning Yue to last until the martial arts competition in three days! "
Barbarian Corpse King!
Hearing Lin Zhen's words, Wang Qinian and Zhao Lie were stunned.
They were not unfamiliar with the Barbarian Corpse King. According to legend, the Barbarian Corpse King had reached the Innate Realm a long time ago!
Moreover, the Barbarian Corpse King has always been cruel and vicious. If you offend him, he will not let you rest in peace!
"With the Barbarian Corpse King making a move, it seems that Ning Yue is dead for sure!" Wang Qinian said.
"That's right, the Barbarian Corpse King is extremely powerful. Ning Yue will not be able to escape even if he grows wings!" Zhao Lie echoed.
"Hehe, don't forget that even if the Barbarian Corpse King fails, Feng-er will still successfully kill Ning Yue in the martial arts competition in three days!" With a strange laugh, Lin Zhen said, "Feng-er is currently in closed-door training to break through to the advanced stage of the Postliminary Realm. After three days, he has an eighty percent chance of advancing to the advanced stage of the Postliminary Realm!"
Swoosh!
Hearing this, Wang Qinian and Zhao Lie were slightly relieved.
Even if Lin Feng failed to break through to the advanced stage of the Postliminary Realm, Ning Yue would not be able to escape the fate of being killed.
With double insurance, they did not believe that Ning Yue could live for more than three days!
Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, a day and a night quietly passed.
Ning family, Ning Yue's room.
"Phew!"
Letting out a long breath, Ning Yue looked at the three neatly arranged jade bottles beside him with excitement in his eyes.
Twenty-four hours, twenty batches of elixirs, thirty Guyuan pill, and twenty Marrow Cleansing Pills!
Among them, there were twenty top-grade pills, ten top-grade Guyuan pill, eighteen top-grade pills, and two top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pills.
After sitting for a while and waiting for his Yuan Qi to recover, Ning Yue opened the jade bottle and casually poured out a top-grade Guyuan pill and threw it into his mouth.
Crunch!
Just like chewing a jelly bean, Ning Yue chewed the Guyuan pill into pieces the moment it entered his mouth and randomly swallowed it.
"The effect is a little bad, but I'll make do with it." Smacking his lips, Ning Yue took out another top-grade Guyuan pill and put it into his mouth.
If others saw his behavior, they would definitely shout that he was a wastrel.
One must know that the Guyuan pill was a second-grade elixir, and it was expensive.
In the market, a top-grade Guyuan pill would sell for at least sixty thousand gold coins!
Different from the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the Marrow Cleansing Pill was targeted at Body Tempering Realm cultivators and could open up blocked meridians.
On the other hand, the Guyuan pill was a miraculous elixir that could speed up the cultivation of Houtian Realm cultivators!
Most of the Guyuan pill on the market were low-grade, medium-grade, and top-grade were even rarer.
As for the top-grade, it was even rarer. Every time it appeared in the auction house, it would be a key point for the major forces to compete for it.
Now, Ning Yue instantly swallowed two top-grade Guyuan pill as if they were jelly beans. This level of squandering was indeed … heaven-defying!
After swallowing ten top-grade Guyuan pill in a row, Ning Yue sat cross-legged and started cultivating the Spiritual Art.
In his previous life, the Spiritual Art had played an important role in his cultivation to become a Sky Supreme, not only because he was a peak ninth-grade alchemist, but also because he was a ninth-grade alchemist.
That was because the Spiritual Art had an extremely special ability, which allowed one to refine vitality extremely quickly! It was so fast that even Ning Yue was a little surprised.
An ordinary person might need a day to refine a top-grade Guyuan pill, but Ning Yue was different. With the Spiritual Art, he only needed a moment to completely refine it!
The Spiritual Art and ninth-grade alchemist allowed Ning Yue to quickly become a Sky Supreme, becoming the youngest Sky Supreme in the Sky Demon Territory, and even in the Celestial Spirit Realm!
The vitality of the ten Guyuan pills quickly flowed through his body under the guidance of the Spiritual Art, and then gathered at the spiritual vortex in his mind.
"It's too slow." With a slight frown, Ning Yue swallowed the rest of the Guyuan pill, and his hands moved as he madly circulated the Spiritual Art.
As Ning Yue's hand seals changed, the boundless vitality in his body instantly contracted into his mind.
"Spiritual Vortex!" Focusing slightly, Ning Yue shut his eyes tightly, and the Soul Force wrapped around his mind suddenly compressed.
"Bang!"
A clear muffled sound quietly rang out from Ning Yue's body.
As the muffled sound rang out, Ning Yue also exhaled lightly. His tightly shut eyes slowly opened as his mind sank into his sea of consciousness.
In his sea of consciousness, a cyclone the size of a palm was slowly rotating.
Chapter 11
Transn Sensing the changes in his Divine Sense, Ning Yue was elated. He thought to himself that the speed at which the Spiritual Skill could refine Yuan Qi was indeed impressive. In just four hours, he had accomplished something that would normally take months to accomplish.
Although he had used up thirty Guyuan pills, it was worth it for him to break through to the early stage of the Houtian Realm!
Keeping the Marrow Cleansing Pills, Ning Yue started to expel the Poisonous Blood Powder from his body!
Through his memories, Ning Yue found out that the Poisonous Blood Powder in his body was a trap set by Lin Feng, Zhao Xuan, and Wang Tao of the Wangs. The unlucky guy drank the wine that contained the Poisonous Blood Powder without knowing it.
When he was reborn, his cultivation was only at Body Tempering Stage Five, which was not enough to expel the Poisonous Blood Powder from his body.
Now that he had advanced to the early stage of the Houtian Realm, expelling the Poisonous Blood Powder from his body was imperative!
Taking a deep breath, Ning Yue circulated the Spirit Transformation Technique and guided the Primordial Qi in his sea of consciousness toward the location of the Poisoned Blood Powder.
"Damn it! There are so many Poisonous Blood Powder! And some of them have already fused with the Yuan Qi! " Cursing under his breath, Ning Yue had no choice but to change his method. He gave up on expelling the Poisonous Blood Powder in one go, and wanted to expel it bit by bit.
He knew that this matter could not be rushed. If he could not expel the Poisonous Blood Powder completely, it would affect his future cultivation.
Now that he was reborn, Ning Yue would not allow anything to happen to this body!
"Pfft!"
About an hour later, Ning Yue spat out a mouthful of black blood. His face was slightly pale.
"I didn't expect the poison to be so strong. It must be the enhanced version of the Poisonous Blood Powder!" His eyes turned cold, and Ning Yue's face was filled with anger. "Lin Feng, Wang Tao, Zhao Xuan, just you wait!"
Fortunately, he had advanced to the early stage of the Houtian Realm. Otherwise, if he tried to expel the Poisonous Blood Powder forcefully, it would have the opposite effect and lead to a major outbreak.
Even so, according to Ning Yue's speculation, it would take at least a day to completely expel the poison from his body!
A day later, after successfully expelling the poisonous blood powder from his body, Ning Yue was already sweating profusely.
However, he did not slack off because of this. Instead, he began to practice his martial arts techniques without stopping!
After all, tomorrow was the day of his battle with Lin Feng. He had to ensure that nothing went wrong and kill Lin Feng!
"Netherworld Samsara Palm!"
The Netherworld Samsara Palm was a cultivation method recorded in the Reincarnation Pill Dao book. It was also the cultivation method cultivated by the owner of the Reincarnation Pill Dao book.
"In my previous life, I was obsessed with the Reincarnation Pill from the Reincarnation Pill Dao. I didn't do much research on the Netherworld Samsara Palm. In this life, I've been reborn. Not only will I improve my alchemy, I will also break through the limits of my martial arts cultivation!"
The Reincarnation Pill Dao book recorded many pill recipes and alchemy methods. The Netherworld Samsara Palm was born along with the Reincarnation Pill Dao book.
To put it more accurately, the Netherworld Samsara Palm was not just a martial arts technique. It was also a soul attack technique!
Ning Yue took a deep breath and pushed his palms forward. He began to practice the Netherworld Samsara Palm!
"Netherworld Samsara Palm, First Palm — Dust Severing!"
Bending his legs slightly, Ning Yue gathered all the Yuan Qi in his body onto his wrists. Then, he pushed them forward.
Instantly, an illusory palm appeared. He shouted, "Go!" and the illusory palm shot forward quickly.
Boom!
"Explode!" Ning Yue's eyes narrowed and he let out a low roar. Then, the illusory palm exploded, causing the air around it to scatter.
…
"Grumble!"
In the evening, Ning Yue felt his stomach protesting. He slowly pushed open the door to his room, intending to find something to eat.
However, just as he stepped out of his room, a sharp, cold light shot through the air and headed straight for his face.
"Oh no!" Feeling the strong wind in front of him, Ning Yue's expression changed.
This turn of events was clearly out of his expectations. He never thought that someone would dare to attack him in the heavily guarded Ning family!
Without much time to think, Ning Yue raised his right hand. Instantly, a violent wave of Yuan Qi appeared in his palm. Then, filled with killing intent, he punched forward.
Boom!
In the next moment, the sound of two fists colliding could be heard. It was clear and crisp.
After the blow, Ning Yue hurriedly took a few steps back. He stared at the cultivator in front of him and growled, "Who are you!"
Although they had only exchanged blows in a hurry, Ning Yue was certain that the other party was a cultivator in the advanced phase of the Connate Stage! Even the strength of his Yuan Qi had reached the peak of the Connate Stage!
"Hehe! It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I will take your life! " The black-robed figure also took a step back and laughed strangely. "Tsk tsk, it seems that the information was wrong. You have actually advanced to the early phase of the Connate Stage."
"Hmph! I don't care who you are! This is the Ning family! Since you dared to come, you should be prepared to be captured and killed! "Ning Yue took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down.
Although he looked calm on the surface, Ning Yue's heart was already in turmoil. He was extremely shocked.
The information was wrong? It seemed that someone wanted to take his life!
"Who ordered you to come here!" Ning Yue's expression darkened. He said in a low voice, "Although your cultivation has reached the advanced phase of the Connate Stage, it won't be easy for you to kill me."
"Order?" The black-robed man curled his lips and said coldly, "In a small place like Tianxuan City, no one can order me around! None of the people that I, the Barbarian Corpse King, want to kill have survived until now! "
When the Barbarian Corpse King finished his arrogant words, Ning Yue's eyes turned cold. He rose from the ground and his body turned into an afterimage, appearing in front of the Barbarian Corpse King like a ghost.
"Netherworld Samsara Palm! First move — Dust Severing! "
A vigorous Essence suddenly burst out from Ning Yue's wrist. Suddenly, an illusory palm print blasted toward the Barbarian Corpse King's head.
It was one thing to not make a move, but the moment he made a move, it was a killing move!
Ning Yue was very clear about the difference between him and the Barbarian Corpse King. With his current cultivation, he could even fight against a peak Connate Stage cultivator, and he could even kill them.
However, the Barbarian Corpse King was a late phase Connate Stage cultivator. The difference between them was not small.
Right now, he could only stall for time and wait for the experts of the family to appear. Otherwise, today would be extremely dangerous.
"Child's play."
The corner of the Barbarian Corpse King's mouth curled up, and his body flashed strangely. A palm containing powerful Essence suddenly pushed out.
Boom!
When the two collided, a violent force instantly burst out and continuously spread in all directions.
However, in the next instant, the Barbarian Corpse King's expression changed drastically.
"Not good!"
The Barbarian Corpse King did not expect that the seemingly ordinary illusory palm print actually contained an incomparably domineering Qi.
Moreover, this gas had already flowed along his palm and quietly entered his body!
The Barbarian Corpse King was, after all, a late phase Connate Stage expert. Although he was shocked, he did not show it. Instead, he wanted to use his powerful Soul Perception and Essence to force the domineering Qi out of his body.
Puchi!
The Barbarian Corpse King had just used his Soul Perception when he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chapter 12
Bang! Kacha!
Although he had unexpectedly repelled the Barbarian Corpse King, the powerful recoil still caused Ning Yue's body to fall backwards, fiercely smashing through the door!
Swallowing the fishy taste in his throat, Ning Yue stood up and said coldly, "Barbarian Corpse King, it doesn't feel good to have your soul injured, right?"
"I want you to die!"
With a loud shout, the Barbarian Corpse King stomped his right foot on the ground. His body was like a sharp sword as he rushed towards Ning Yue.
At this moment, the Barbarian Corpse King was incomparably furious. With his Xiantian late stage cultivation, he was actually injured by a Houtian early stage warrior? If this news were to spread, how could he establish himself in Tianxuan City? How could he establish himself in the Great Xia Kingdom?
Therefore, Ning Yue must die today!
"Not good!"
Even though Ning Yue was a Sky Supreme in his previous life, he was currently only at the Houtian early stage. Even if the Barbarian Corpse King's soul was injured, there was no way he could win against the Barbarian Corpse King who was at the Xiantian late stage.
However, Ning Yue would not just sit and wait for death. With his powerful perception, he already knew that the Ning family's experts were rushing over.
He only needed to block this move from the Barbarian Corpse King to survive!
"Netherworld Samsara Palm!" The energy in his sea of consciousness surged out and gathered on Ning Yue's palms.
As the energy gathered, a faint white halo appeared on Ning Yue's palms.
"Hmph! Last time, I only used 10% of my strength. This time, I will use my full strength. Do you think you can still block it? " With a cold snort, the Barbarian Corpse King appeared in front of Ning Yue like a ghost. He raised his right foot and, with violent energy, kicked at Ning Yue's head like a whip.
"I will kick your head until it explodes!"
This kick was powerful and heavy, clean and tidy.
If Ning Yue was unlucky enough to be kicked, he would be crippled even if he did not die.
Looking at his right leg that was almost within reach, Ning Yue hurriedly turned around. He clenched his fists tightly and his eyes shone brightly.
Narrowing his eyes, Ning Yue quickly formed hand seals with his two palms. Immediately, an illusory palm print appeared on his palms and collided with the Barbarian Corpse King's fist.
Crack!
Power poured down, flowing through Ning Yue's palms and instantly engulfing his entire body. An incomparably violent gas wreaked havoc in his body!
Puchi!
The violent Qi in his body entered an unstoppable state, constantly attacking Ning Yue's five viscera and six bowels. In an instant, Ning Yue's face turned deathly pale.
"Tsk tsk!" Looking at the pale Ning Yue, the Barbarian Corpse King laughed strangely, "Does the Corpse Yin Qi taste good?"
"If I wasn't pressed for time, I would let you enjoy the fear of being dominated by the Corpse Yin Qi for a while longer. As for now, let's end everything."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Barbarian Corpse King's right fist turned into a palm and ruthlessly chopped at Ning Yue's head.
"You dare to behave atrociously in the Ning family, you're courting death!"
However, just as the Barbarian Corpse King made his move, his complexion changed greatly. Without any time to think, he immediately retreated.
Bang!
In the process of retreating, the Barbarian Corpse King gritted his teeth, gathered the Corpse Yin Qi in his body on his wrist, and instantly attacked.
After one move, the Barbarian Corpse King once again retreated a few steps. Staring at the old man beside Ning Yue, he coldly said, "True Martial Realm! You're a True Martial Realm cultivator! "
"No, you're only at Xiantian Great Perfection! Half a step into the True Martial Realm! "
"Not simple. I've already set up a barrier in the surroundings. You're able to sense the movement here with a cultivation of half a step into the True Martial Realm. Not simple!"
Staring at the old man, the Barbarian Corpse King wiped the corner of his mouth and thought, "Not good."
"Now that my soul is heavily injured, even if I go all out, I'm still not a match for a cultivator half a step into the True Martial Realm. It's better to retreat!"
"Now that this old fart has been hit by all of my Corpse Yin Qi, even if he doesn't die, he'll still be crippled!"
"I've also injected a strand of Corpse Yin Qi into Ning Yue's body. Even with the help of a True Martial Realm cultivator, it'll be very difficult to expel it."
"My soul is injured and needs to be repaired urgently. Otherwise, it'll likely leave behind a sequela that will affect my advancement into the True Martial Realm!"
Thinking of this, the Barbarian Corpse King stomped on the ground and his body turned into a gust of cold wind. He jumped onto the wall and disappeared in a breath.
Puchi!
Not long after the Barbarian Corpse King left, the old man spat out a mouthful of blood. Obviously, the Barbarian Corpse King's move was too much for him.
"Who dares to spit in the Ning family … Father!"
In the next moment, Ning Hai, Ning Tang, and the other experts of the Ning family appeared in front of Ning Yue's room.
Ning Hai was about to scold them, but when he saw the old man in front of Ning Yue, his eyes suddenly widened and he said in surprise, "Why are you here? You've advanced into the True Martial Realm?"
"Cough, cough." Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, the old man coldly said, "Why am I here? If I hadn't come out in time, Yue 'er would have been killed! How can you be the head of the family! You don't even know that someone broke into the family. Did you wait until everyone in the family was killed before you appeared? "
The old man was furious. He had three brothers, and the other two had died tragically for various reasons. In his generation, he only had one son, Ning Hai, and Ning Hai only had one son, Ning Yue.
If he hadn't come out in time today, the Ning family would most likely be extinct!
"Wait outside the door, I want to treat Yue 'er!" Fiercely glaring at Ning Yue, the old man pulled Ning Yue's hand and walked into the room.
"Seal the news! No one is allowed to spread this matter! "Looking at the back of the old man, Ning Hai shouted in a low voice," Anyone who disobeys will be killed! "
"Pass down my order. The Ning family is under martial law. All family members are not allowed to step out of the room. Anyone who disobeys will be arrested on the spot!"
"Hu Qiang, did the other three families make any suspicious moves recently?" Ning Hai asked in a low voice.
The leader of the law enforcement team, Hu Qiang, quickly answered, "Three days ago, the heads of the Lin, Zhao, and Wangs families seemed to have met. I'm not sure about the details."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Ning Hai's face turned cold, and his powerful aura was released, making Hu Qiang feel like he was suffocating.
Hu Qiang knelt on the ground and said in fear, "Head of the family, I saw that you were in seclusion at that time. Moreover, the three of them used to meet frequently, so I didn't inform you about this matter."
"You should know who you are working for!" Ning Hai said coldly, "Surround this room. Without my permission, don't let a fly in!"
Ning Hai gave the order without a trace of panic. He turned to Ning Tang and said, "Go to Snow Pavilion and find Elder Mo to buy the elixir. You must buy that fourth-grade healing elixir at all costs!"
Ning Tang looked troubled and said, "Head of the family, we have communicated with Elder Mo several times, but he has not agreed to sell us the healing elixir. He said that he is saving it for a rainy day. I'm afraid …"
"Didn't you hear me? At all costs! Didn't you notice that the old head is injured? If anything happens to the old head, will the Ning family still have a foothold in Tianxuan City? " At this moment, Ning Hai appeared to be very bold. "If Elder Mo doesn't want to sell it, then invite him to the Ning family!"
"Head of the family, do you want to … sigh." Eyes wide, Ning Tang guessed Ning Hai's plan. He was about to persuade him, but he thought of something and sighed. He immediately left the Ning family and rushed to Snow Pavilion.
Chapter 13
"Grandfather, you don't have to do this!
Chapter 13: Detoxification Pill I am very clear about the condition of my body. You should expel the Corpse Yin Qi from your body as soon as possible. It will be too late if you delay any longer!
Actually, when the Barbarian Corpse King had injected the Corpse Yin Qi into Ning Yue's body, Ning Yue had activated the Spiritual Transformation Technique and combined it with his powerful soul perception to force the Corpse Yin Qi into a small area to prevent it from wreaking havoc in his body!
After all, the Corpse Yin Qi in his body was only a thread. With Ning Yue's powerful soul perception, this thread of Corpse Yin Qi was not enough to kill him.
Fortunately, Ning Yue's soul perception was very strong. If it had been anyone else, they would not have been able to resist this thread of Corpse Yin Qi with their early Houtian Realm cultivation.
"Nonsense! I am already so old. The future of the Ning family lies in your generation. Today, I will help you expel the Corpse Yin Qi from your body even if I have to risk my life! "
The old man did not stop after he shouted. Instead, he pressed his hands tightly against Ning Yue's back and poured all his Yuan Qi into Ning Yue's body.
As the Yuan Qi in his body decreased, the old man's face became paler and paler. In the end, his body seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
The old man knew very well that Ning Yue's meridians had been severely blocked since he was born. This caused his cultivation to only reach the fifth-layer of Body Tempering Realm at the age of eighteen.
But now, the old man discovered that Ning Yue's cultivation had reached the early Houtian Realm. After examining Ning Yue's body, the old man found out that the blocked meridians in Ning Yue's body had been cleared. From now on, he would be like a fish in the sea and a bird in the sky!
Coupled with Ning Yue's impressive talent in alchemy, entering Danwu College would be a piece of cake.
Therefore, the old man secretly made up his mind to cure Ning Yue no matter what. He could not let him have the slightest lingering disease.
"Grandfather, if this goes on, your life will be in danger." Feeling the Corpse Yin Qi in his body slowly enter the old man's body through his arm, Ning Yue was very anxious.
Although the old man was not his biological grandfather, he was very touched by his kindness.
Although he was touched, Ning Yue had no other choice. The battle just now had nearly exhausted all of his Yuan Qi.
Moreover, the old man's powerful aura had locked onto him. It was almost impossible for him to stop the old man!
Xiu! Puchi!
About a quarter of an hour later, when the last bit of Corpse Yin Qi was absorbed from Ning Yue's body, the old man's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. With a thump, he fainted on the bed.
"Grandpa, Grandpa!" After the old man fainted, the powerful aura that bound Ning Yue finally disappeared. Ning Yue hurriedly carried the old man and shouted towards the door, "Father, come in quickly. Grandpa is seriously injured and needs treatment!"
"What?!"
Ning Hai was always paying attention to the situation in the room. When Ning Yue's voice sounded, he jumped to the bedside.
Seeing that the old man had fainted, Ning Hai hurriedly carried the old man and rushed towards the secret chamber of the Ning family.
"Patriarch, Elder Hiroshi has used the fourth-grade healing holy pill."
Just as Ning Hai rushed out of the room with the old man in his arms, Ning Tang walked over quickly and said, "But he promised to come personally … What?! What happened to the old patriarch?! "
"Bring Elder Hiroshi to the secret chamber. Also, the matter of my father's injury must be strictly sealed!" Pausing slightly beside Ning Tang, Ning Hai displayed the decisiveness of a patriarch. "Before my father recovers, no one who knows that he is injured is allowed to leave the Ning family. Anyone who disobeys will be killed!"
Ning Tang's body trembled. Ever since that thunderous rage eighteen years ago, he had never seen Ning Hai like this.
As the Great Elder of the Ning family, he also realized the severity of the situation. Once the news of the old patriarch's injury was leaked, the consequences would be unthinkable!
In the secret chamber of the Ning family.
The Yuan Qi in the secret chamber was abnormally dense, twice as dense as the outside world.
Bringing the old man into the secret chamber, Ning Hai put him down and placed his hands on his back. His body's Yuan Qi flowed continuously into the old man's body.
Creak!
At this moment, the secret chamber's door was pushed open, and Elder Hiroshi walked in behind Ning Tang.
"Nonsense! If you don't want him to die, immediately stop injecting Yuan Qi! "
As soon as they entered the secret chamber, Elder Hiroshi's expression greatly changed. He shouted in a low voice, "Right now, the Yuan Qi and Corpse Yin Qi in your father's body have reached a point of balance. Neither can do anything to the other. If you continue to inject Yuan Qi, then they will very likely start a war inside your father's body!
"If the Yuan Qi and Corpse Yin Qi collide, even if the Yuan Qi wins, your father's internal organs will be destroyed beyond recognition. Even if he survives, he will still be a cripple!"
Elder Hiroshi repeatedly poked a few acupuncture points on the old man's body and said in a deep voice, "How did you provoke the Corpse Yin Sect? Only the Corpse Yin Sect has Corpse Yin Qi! "
"Corpse Yin Sect!"
Hearing Elder Hiroshi's words, Ning Hai and Ning Tang's expression greatly changed.
In the Great Xia Kingdom, there was a terrifying force, the Corpse Yin Sect!
The people of the Corpse Yin Sect were strange and cruel. No matter how strong the people they targeted were, they would still end up dead in the end.
According to legend, the Corpse Yin Sect in the Great Xia Kingdom was only a branch. Even so, the Sect Master's cultivation was very powerful.
The most terrifying thing about the Corpse Yin Sect was the Corpse Yin Guards. Every Corpse Yin Guard had a refined corpse.
Combined with the corpse, a Corpse Yin Guard could fight against a Xiantian Realm cultivator at the late Houtian Realm!
"Corpse Yin Sect!" The one who was the most shocked wasn't Ning Hai or Ning Tang, but Ning Yue!
"Venerable Corpse Yin, you didn't expect me to return, right?" Ning Yue tried his best to restrain himself to prevent Ning Hai and the others from noticing any clues.
Back at the peak of the Heavenly Demon Mountain, Venerable Corpse Yin of the Corpse Yin Sect was one of the nine Venerables that besieged him!
The chill in his eyes was instantly concealed by Ning Yue. Right now, he couldn't expose himself. The Corpse Yin Sect was very powerful, and the Sect Master's cultivation was infinitely close to the Heavenly Supreme Realm. If he found out that Ning Yue was still alive, the consequences would be extremely serious.
"Corpse Yin Sect, I didn't go to find you, but you wanted to kill me." Taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling, Ning Yue thought to himself, "It's not that easy to take my, Ning Yue's life!"
"Don't just stand there. If you stand there any longer, your father's life will be gone."
Seeing Ning Hai and the others standing there in a daze, Old Mo suddenly became angry and berated, "Take my token and go to the Snow Pavilion to find the Eldest Miss. Tell her to get two sets of ingredients for the Detoxification Pill. I want to refine the Detoxification Pill myself!"
"The Detoxification Pill is a Fourth Grade Pill. It's very difficult for me to refine it by myself. I need the help of a Third Grade Alchemist!"
"Old Mo, in Profound Sky City, aside from you, only the President of the Alchemy Union is a Third Grade Alchemist. However, I heard that he left the Alchemy Union three days ago and is no longer in Profound Sky City." Ning Hai was very anxious. After all, there were only two Third Grade Alchemists in Profound Sky City.
Now that the President of the Alchemy Union wasn't in Profound Sky City, where could he find another Third Grade Alchemist?
"Going to another city to hire a Third Grade Alchemist would take at least one and a half hours to make a round trip, and I would also need an hour to refine the elixir perfectly. Your father can only hold on for two hours at most, there's not enough time."
Chapter 14
Receiving Elder Mo's token, Ning Tang did not dare to stay any longer.
For a moment, the secret room was quiet.
At this moment, Ning Hai finally had the time to observe Ning Yue. What he saw was not a big deal, but he was really shocked.
"Yue 'er, your cultivation!"
Ning Hai's face changed. He came to Ning Yue and said in surprise, "Early stage of the Acquired Realm! You have reached the early stage of the Acquired Realm! "
"Father, I have indeed broken through to the early stage of the Acquired Realm." Ning Yue did not choose to hide it. Instead, he admitted it frankly. After all, there was no point in hiding it today. Ning Hai would know about tomorrow's deathmatch with Lin Feng anyway.
"It's good that it's unblocked." Ning Hai was very excited. This made him even happier than when Ning Yue won the Ice Cave assessment three days ago.
"Father, about me …"
Before Ning Yue's voice died away, Ning Hai waved his hand and said, "Don't tell me. Since you have reached the early stage of the Acquired Realm, you can definitely enter the Danwu College assessment!"
Originally, Ning Yue was worried that Ning Hai would ask about it. Hearing Ning Hai's words, he felt relieved.
It was not that he did not want to tell Ning Hai, but his rebirth was too incredible. If he told others, he might be treated as a fool.
"Elder Mo, you are a third-level alchemist. It should not be difficult for you to refine the Detoxification Pill." After the excitement, Ning Hai thought of the old man lying in bed. His face was a little gloomy. He said, "The Ning family has a second-level alchemist. I don't know …"
"What do you know! The Detoxification Pill is a fourth-level elixir, and it is one of the most difficult to refine. "
Elder Mo said in a low voice, "I am only a third-level alchemist. I have failed to refine the Detoxification Pill several times before. I don't know if I will succeed this time."
Bowing respectfully to Elder Mo, Ning Hai patted his chest and promised, "Whether I succeed or not, the Ning family owes me a favor! If Elder Mo has any instructions in the future, I, Ning, will do it even if I have to die ten thousand deaths. "
"Scram, I don't need you to risk your life for me. Go out and guard the secret room obediently. Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter."
Kicking Ning Hai, Elder Hiroshi said, "Your father and I have known each other since we were young. Back then, we studied together at Danwu College. Your father was very talented, but due to various reasons, we were unable to graduate from Danwu College."
Elder Hiroshi slowly closed his eyes. The past was still vivid in his mind, but it was a pity that things had changed.
"So you know my father. Elder Mo, I'll go out immediately. I promise I won't let a fly in."
As he spoke, Ning Hai winked at Ning Yue, wanting to leave with him.
Ning Yue acted as though he didn't see it and stood in place. He had no intention of leaving. Instead, he turned his back to Elder Hiroshi and formed a special hand seal with his right hand.
"Go out by yourself. I have a few questions to ask Ning Yue." Elder Hiroshi was shocked when he saw Ning Yue's hand seal, but he remained calm on the surface.
After Ning Yue left, Elder Hiroshi hurriedly asked, "Ning Yue, where did you learn this hand seal?!"
Ning Yue didn't answer Elder Mo's question directly. Instead, he flipped his palm and a pill appeared in his palm.
"A supreme Marrow Cleansing Pill!"
Looking at the pill in Ning Yue's palm, Elder Hiroshi's eyes widened as though he had seen a ghost. He raised his right hand and pointed at Ning Yue. "You're the mysterious young man from three days ago!"
"So it's you. No wonder you can form that hand seal."
"That's right, it's me." Nodding, Ning Yue admitted it.
Actually, Ning Yue chose to reveal his identity after careful consideration.
Elder Hiroshi and his grandfather knew each other when they were young. When he learned that his grandfather was in danger, he rushed over immediately and wanted to try refining the Detoxification Pill. Thus, Elder Hiroshi wasn't an outsider.
Even if Elder Hiroshi knew he was the mysterious young man from three days ago, he wasn't in danger because the hand seal he formed was unique to a seventh-grade Pill Refiner!
It could be said that other than a seventh-grade Pill Refiner, even if others saw this hand seal, they wouldn't know what it meant.
Since Elder Hiroshi recognized it, it meant that he had seen this hand seal before.
This would send a message to Elder Hiroshi that there was at least a seventh-grade Pill Refiner behind him!
The power of a seventh-grade Pill Refiner was enough to deter Elder Hiroshi from acting recklessly.
The Detoxification Pill was a fourth-grade pill. If there was a third-grade Pill Refiner working with Elder Hiroshi, there was a chance of success. However, there was no third-grade Pill Refiner now. Ning Yue didn't dare to compliment Lu Wei's pill refining skills. Thus, he wanted to personally work with Elder Hiroshi to refine the Detoxification Pill!
With these considerations, Ning Yue dared to boldly admit it.
"Elder Hiroshi, I want to know, with me working with you, how confident are you in refining the Detoxification Pill?" Ning Yue asked.
Frowning slightly, Elder Hiroshi said, "Fifty percent. Your pill refining skills far surpass Miss'. With you helping me refine the medicinal ingredients, I have fifty percent confidence in refining the Detoxification Pill!"
"Actually, you can ask your master …" Staring at Ning Yue, Elder Hiroshi said.
However, before Elder Hiroshi could finish, Ning Yue waved his hand and interrupted him, saying, "My master has an extremely urgent matter and has temporarily left Tianxuan City. I can't find him either."
Hearing this, Elder Hiroshi was a little disappointed. He wanted to meet Ning Yue's master. After all, Ning Yue's master would definitely be of great help in that matter.
Ignoring Elder Hiroshi, Ning Yue threw the Marrow Cleansing Pill in his hand into his mouth and swallowed it carelessly.
Seeing Ning Yue's actions, Elder Hiroshi felt his heart ache.
That was a supreme grade Marrow Cleansing Pill. A supreme grade Marrow Cleansing Pill's market price was about sixty to seventy thousand gold coins. Yet, Ning Yue swallowed it carelessly just like that?
What shocked Elder Hiroshi was that Ning Yue took out another supreme grade Marrow Cleansing Pill and was about to throw it into his mouth.
This time, Elder Hiroshi couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly said, "Ning Yue, the Marrow Cleansing Pill is mainly used to unclog the meridians. Don't tell me you're using it to replenish your vitality?"
"Yes, why?" Ning Yue nodded and asked doubtfully.
In Ning Yue's opinion, these Marrow Cleansing Pills were already useless. Now that his vitality was severely depleted, he needed to replenish it in time. Otherwise, he wouldn't be of much help when refining the Detoxification Pill later.
"Prodigal, what a prodigal." Elder Hiroshi snatched the Marrow Cleansing Pill from Ning Yue's hand and took out a piece of low-grade Yuan crystal. He threw it to Ning Yue and said, "I'll use this low-grade Yuan crystal to exchange for your supreme grade Marrow Cleansing Pill. How about that?"
"Do you have a mid-grade Yuan crystal?" Ning Yue asked after receiving the low-grade Yuan crystal.
Elder Hiroshi said, "I do have a mid-grade Yuan crystal, but I don't have it with me."
"A supreme grade Marrow Cleansing Pill and a piece of low-grade Yuan crystal. I've made a profit." The market price of a piece of low-grade Yuan crystal was about a hundred thousand gold coins, while a supreme grade Marrow Cleansing Pill was only sixty to seventy thousand gold coins. Therefore, Ning Yue had actually made a profit of thirty thousand gold coins.
"How about this, I still have sixteen supreme grade and two superior-grade Marrow Cleansing Pills. I'll exchange them for ten pieces of low-grade Yuan crystal. How about that?" Ning Yue took out a jade bottle and casually threw it to Elder Hiroshi.
"I still have fifteen Yuan crystals on me. You can have them all." Elder Hiroshi was not stingy and handed all the Yuan crystals on him to Ning Yue.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the value of a supreme grade Marrow Cleansing Pill was slightly lower than a piece of low-grade Yuan crystal. But in Elder Hiroshi's eyes, the value of a supreme grade Marrow Cleansing Pill far exceeded a piece of low-grade Yuan crystal!
Moreover, the supreme grade Marrow Cleansing Pills that Ning Yue took out were of superior quality. Some of them even reached the level of supreme grade!
Shrugging, Ning Yue did not stand on ceremony with Elder Hiroshi and accepted the fifteen Yuan crystals. He immediately sat down cross-legged and circulated the Spirit Transformation Technique to replenish his depleted Yuan Qi.
Ning Tang would be back in fifteen minutes. Ning Yue only had fifteen minutes left!
Chapter 15
In the secret room, Old Mo carefully examined the Marrow Cleansing Pill. The more he looked, the more shocked he became. With his ability, it was impossible to successfully refine a pill of this quality.
Moreover, Old Mo also found that the Marrow Cleansing Pill Ning Yue gave him this time was a little different from the one refined in Snow Pavilion three days ago. Could it be that both kinds of Marrow Cleansing Pills were refined by Ning Yue?
Thinking of this, Old Mo couldn't help looking at Ning Yue.
If both kinds of Marrow Cleansing Pills were refined by Ning Yue, then Ning Yue's talent in alchemy was too terrifying.
"We must tie him to the Snow Domain Pavilion!" Old Mo secretly made up his mind to tie Ning Yue to Snow Pavilion no matter what. Such a genius alchemist, once he grew up, would be immeasurable!
Old Mo even had a bold idea that Ning Yue's future achievements could surpass Dan Chenzi, the King of Elixirs of Great Xia Country!
"Last time I didn't get to see the process of refining elixirs. This time I can take advantage of this opportunity to see his real alchemy level!" Seeing that Ning Yue was absorbing low-grade yuan crystals to replenish his lost primordial Qi, Old Mo turned his head and wanted to check Ning He's injury.
Crack!
But right at this moment, a clear and melodious sound rang out in the secret chamber.
Old Mo's eyes widened, staring at Ning Yue as if he had seen a ghost. His mouth was slightly open, and he stood still.
"The primordial Qi in low-grade yuan crystals is too little. It would be better if there were middle-grade yuan crystals." Throwing away the broken yuan crystal in his hand, Ning Yue wanted to take another yuan crystal to absorb. At this time, he noticed that someone was staring at him. He turned his head slightly and saw Old Mo's surprised expression.
"Old Mo, are you … all right?" Waving his palm in front of Old Mo's eyes, Ning Yue asked hesitantly.
With a shock, Old Mo returned to normal. Instead of answering Ning Yue's question, he asked, "Have you absorbed all the primordial Qi in that yuan crystal?"
Ning Yue's expression changed slightly. He had been too careless.
Rolling his eyes, Ning Yue said without batting an eyelid, "Oh, about that. Elder Mo, there was very little Yuan Qi in that Origin Crystal, less than a tenth of it, which is why I was able to absorb it so quickly."
"You can't possibly think that I absorbed all the Yuan Qi in a piece of low-grade Essence crystal in such a short period of time, right?" In the end, Ning Yue's performance was a little exaggerated. He laughed and said, "If that's the case, I would have reached the Innate Realm or even the True Martial Realm long ago."
After some thought, Elder Hiroshi also felt that it was impossible.
When he was in Danwu College, even the most heaven-defying genius would not be able to completely consume a piece of low-grade essence crystal in such a short period of time.
"You really gave me a fright." Elder Hiroshi did not check the Essence Qi within the Essence Crystals. He was more inclined to believe in Ning Yue. Otherwise, Ning Yue would be too much of a freak.
"Elder Hiroshi, the herbs and Eldest Miss …"
Suddenly, Ning Hai's voice rang out from outside the secret chamber. However, before he finished speaking, Lu Wei pushed open the door and walked in.
As Elder Hiroshi had said that he needed Lu Wei's help in refining the elixir, he did not stop Lu Wei.
"Eldest Miss, give me the herbs. You can leave for now," Elder Hiroshi said after taking the herbs from Lu Wei.
"Me? Elder Hiroshi, didn't you say you needed my help? " Lu Wei was a little confused. On the way here, Ning Tang had already told her the purpose of this trip. Now that she heard Elder Hiroshi's words, she was a little confused.
Pointing at Ning Yue, Elder Hiroshi said, "I've already found someone to help."
Lu Wei frowned slightly and said, "Are you sure he can help you refine the Poison Repelling Elixir? You should know that the Poison Repelling Elixir is a fourth-grade elixir. The slightest mistake will result in failure. You've tried to refine the Poison Repelling Elixir several times, but without exception, you've never succeeded. "
"Eldest Miss, perhaps you don't know who he is. Let me put it this way, he is …" Elder Hiroshi had just finished speaking when Ning Yue flipped his wrist and a platinum card appeared in his hand.
When she saw the platinum card in Ning Yue's hand, Lu Wei was extremely shocked. "Why is my platinum card in your hands?! Don't tell me … you're Dan Yue! "
Lu Wei's shock was completely written on her face. She was truly shocked.
She could not believe what she was seeing because Ning Yue was at most 18 years old, one year younger than her.
Soon, the shock on Lu Wei's face was replaced by excitement. If Ning Yue was Dan Yue, then there was a high possibility that his master was in the Ning family!
"Dan Yue, is your master around?" For the past three days, Lu Wei had been looking forward to seeing Ning Yue at every moment. To be precise, she was looking forward to the good news that Ning Yue would bring.
"Eldest Miss, my master has left Tianxuan City for an important matter. As for when he'll be back, I'm not too sure." Ning Yue cupped his hands at Lu Wei and said, "I'm sorry."
"Oh." The disappointment on Lu Wei's face was obvious.
"Eldest Miss, you don't have to be sad. I'll inform you as soon as I have news about my master." Ning Yue would definitely not tell Lu Wei that his master was fabricated and that such a person did not exist.
The Life-Creation Elixir was a seventh-grade elixir. With his current strength, it would be very difficult for him to help with the extraction of medicinal herbs.
Unless his soul perception recovered to the sixth-grade, he would not be able to help.
"Don't call me Eldest Miss, call me Lu Wei." Waving her hand, Lu Wei said.
"Now is not the time to discuss this. Since the two of you are here, I'll take charge of the situation. You two help me extract the medicinal herbs!" Elder Hiroshi shook his wrist and a three-legged cauldron appeared in his hand. He threw it forward and the cauldron suddenly enlarged.
Seeing this, Ning Yue picked up a Withered Leaf Flower with his left hand and flipped his right hand. Wisps of white flames appeared on his palm while his left hand placed the Withered Leaf Flower on the white flames.
The moment the Withered Leaf Flower came into contact with the white flames, it was instantly burned into a ball of black liquid. The liquid kept rolling on the flames.
Under the continuous burning of the white flames, a faint yellow impurity gradually appeared in the black liquid.
Looking at the faint yellow impurity, Ning Yue nodded. With a flick of his finger, the impurity flew out, leaving behind a small drop of black liquid.
"Elder Hiroshi, quickly open the cauldron!" After the black liquid formed, Ning Yue shouted in a low voice.
Elder Hiroshi quickly opened the cauldron. Ning Yue flicked his finger and the black liquid flew into the three-legged cauldron.
Seeing Ning Yue's smooth movements, not only Lu Wei, but even Elder Hiroshi was a little dumbfounded.
If he did not frequently refine the Detoxification Pill, how could he be so proficient?
Elder Hiroshi even suspected that Ning Yue had been possessed by some old monster.
"What are you spacing out for? Under the pressure of my master, I have refined the Detoxification Pill no less than a hundred times." In order not to arouse suspicion, Ning Yue explained, "Of course, my master is the one in control. I am only in charge of extracting the medicinal herbs. Otherwise, how could I be so proficient?"
"Phew! Phew! "
Elder Hiroshi and Lu Wei let out a long breath at the same time. So that's how it was. Otherwise, they would have been dealt a heavy blow today.
After a brief moment of shock, Elder Hiroshi and Lu Wei got to work.
Chapter 16
"Master, tomorrow is the day of the Frozen Cave assessment. Who will we send to compete?" Ning Tang and Ning Hai stood guard outside the secret chamber to prevent anyone from intruding and disturbing Elder Mo.
"Five slots for the Frozen Cave assessment. Each family will send four young disciples, sixteen in total."
Ning Hai's face turned serious when he mentioned the assessment. "The first place will get two slots. The second, third, and fourth place will each get one slot."
"Among the younger generation in our family, only Ning Yue has reached the Houtian Realm. As for the peak of Body Tempering Stage Ten, we have Ning Xuan and Ning Hu. Ning Xin is at the peak of Body Tempering Stage Nine."
"The four of them." Ning Hai said. "Tell them to admit defeat immediately if they meet an opponent they can't beat."
Ning Yue had been in the limelight during the first Ice Cave assessment competition, suppressing the Lin Family completely.
Ning Hai was worried that the Lin Family would not let the Ning family off the hook this time.
As far as he knew, besides Lin Feng, the Lin Family had two or three other young disciples who had reached the Houtian Realm!
"Master, I am worried about the deathmatch between Ning Yue and Lin Feng tomorrow. Although Ning Yue has advanced to the early stage of the Houtian Realm, Lin Feng has been in the middle stage of the Houtian Realm for a long time. Ning Yue is no match for him." Ning Tang was a little worried. "In my opinion, we should lock Ning Yue up tomorrow. We can't let him fight Lin Fengsheng to the death!"
Ning Yue's performance three days ago had completely won over Ning Tang. In addition, Ning Yue had advanced to the early stage of the Houtian Realm. Ning Tang would not let him take the risk.
Shaking his head slowly, Ning Hai said, "Yue 'er is very stubborn. Since he has promised something, he will definitely do it!"
"But …" Ning Tang opened his mouth but didn't say anything in the end. Instead, he turned to look at the secret chamber and said, "Patriarch, I wonder if Elder Mo will be able to refine the Detoxification Pill this time."
In Ning Tang's view, Ning Yue was the future of the Ning family, and Old Patriarch Ning He was the key to whether the Ning family could stand tall in Tianxuan City!
Once the refining of the Detoxification Pill failed, it was basically a death sentence for the Old Patriarch.
Once the Old Patriarch died, the impact on the Ning family would be immeasurable.
"Let's just wait. Elder Mo is the highest ranked alchemist in Profound Sky City. If he can't refine the Detoxification Pill, then no one else can." Taking a deep breath, Ning Hai said, "But we can't just sit here and wait for death. Immediately give the order to go to the black market and spend a lot of money to buy Detoxification Pills."
Ning Tang hesitated for a moment and said, "Patriarch, if we go to the black market to buy Detoxification Pills, wouldn't it expose the news of Patriarch being injured?"
"This matter must be done secretly. In addition, you only have one hour to buy the pills. After one hour, whether or not you can buy the Detoxification Pill, you must come back."
Ning Hai continued, "Also, secretly investigate if there are any late stage Xiantian experts who have recently appeared in Profound Sky City. Someone who can injure my father can't be a nobody."
"Yes, I will go now!" Nodding his head heavily, Ning Tang secretly left.
At the same time, in a hidden place in Profound Sky City.
"Phew!"
Letting out a long breath, the Barbarian Corpse King completely healed the wound on his soul. His eyes turned cold and he said hatefully, "There is actually a soul attack spell. Not simple, really not simple."
"Now I have changed my mind. I will not kill you for the time being. Instead, I will seize the soul attack spell!" The corner of the Barbarian Corpse King's mouth curled up. With a flip of his wrist, a blood-colored token appeared in his hand.
Yin Corpse Token!
If Ning Hai and the others were here, they would definitely notice that the token in the Barbarian Corpse King's hand was the Yin Corpse Token!
In the Yin Corpse Sect, only the elders could hold the Yin Corpse Token.
And the person who held the Yin Corpse Token could mobilize a team of Yin Corpse Guards. A team of ten Yin Corpse Guards, each of whom had refined a corpse, was very powerful.
"I have alerted the enemy. I can only let the Yin Corpse Guards make a move and fight for an opportunity for me!"
The Barbarian Corpse King was very clear that if he failed to kill Ning Yue this time, he would instead alert the enemy. The Ning family would definitely send experts to protect Ning Yue. If he wanted to get close to Ning Yue, it would be very difficult.
But the Yin Corpse Guards were different. They were death soldiers trained by the Yin Corpse Sect. In order to achieve their goals, they would do anything, even if they committed suicide!
Therefore, with the Yin Corpse Guards leading the way, even if the Ning family sent another peak Xiantian cultivator to protect Ning Yue, the Barbarian Corpse King was happy and fearless. He had absolute confidence that he would be able to capture Ning Yue!
Lin Family, Lin Feng's room.
Boom!
Lin Feng punched out and blasted a huge hole in the wall. Then, he stepped out of the hole, his face filled with joy.
"Hehe, not bad, not bad. Feng Er, you have finally broken through to the late stage of the Houtian Realm!" Lin Zhen walked over and said with a smile, "Tomorrow we will fight against the Ning family's trash. How confident are you in killing him?"
Looking at Lin Zhen, Lin Feng said proudly, "I can crush that fifth-layer Body Tempering Realm trash with one hand!"
"Good! As expected of my son, Lin Zhen. " Towards Lin Feng's performance, Lin Zhen was very pleased, but he still reminded him, "You must remember, no matter what the opponent's cultivation is, you must not be careless. Otherwise, you will fail miserably."
"Father, don't worry. I guarantee that I will defeat that trash with one move. No, I should say kill him!" Clenching his fists, Lin Feng's face was full of viciousness.
Three days ago, Ning Yue made him lose face in Tianxuan City. Tomorrow, he would get back his face in front of everyone!
"Ning Yue, I will let you live for one more night." A cold light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. In his heart, Ning Yue was already a dead man. No one in the world could save him!
"I wonder if the Barbarian Corpse King killed Ning Yue." Looking at the confident Lin Feng, Lin Zhen thought to himself, "The Barbarian Corpse King's actions have always been strange. Maybe he will only make his move tomorrow morning."
In these three days, Lin Zhen had sent people to keep an eye on the Ning family's movements. If there was even the slightest sign of trouble, he would be notified immediately.
Xiu!
Suddenly, a cold light flashed and attacked Lin Zhen.
His right hand grabbed the air and a piece of paper appeared in his hand. Looking at the few lines of words on it, Lin Zhen's lips curled up slightly and he muttered, "The Ning family is under martial law. A man in black has quietly left for the black market. Looks like the Barbarian Corpse King has already made his move …"
Ning Yue was completely unaware of these things. At this moment, he was completely focused on controlling the fire, not daring to be careless.
Elder Hiroshi had used up too much energy to control the fire in the cauldron. This was the crucial moment for the Detoxification Pill to be formed. Ning Yue could only brace himself and take it.
Right now, his soul force had only recovered to the level of a Third Tier Alchemist. Controlling the Detoxification Pill's fire that even a Fourth Tier Alchemist would struggle with, he did not even dare to breathe loudly. His forehead was covered in sweat.
"Ning Yue, the pill is about to be formed. Hang in there!" Elder Hiroshi was also extremely excited. He could not even stop his body from trembling.
This might be the first time he had refined a Fourth Tier Alchemist. Moreover, it was the Detoxification Pill, which was ranked high among the Fourth Tier Alchemists.
If he succeeded this time, with this experience, he had an 80% chance of successfully advancing to Fourth Tier Alchemist!
At this moment, Elder Hiroshi's face lit up with joy and he shouted in a low voice, "The pill is formed!"
Chapter 17
"The pills are finished. There are actually two Detoxification Pills! And the quality has reached the upper grade! "
After the pills flew out, Lu Wei quickly took out the prepared jade bottle and put the two round pills into the bottle.
As for Ning Yue and Elder Mo, they were already exhausted and sat on the ground.
The two of them had consumed too much energy, not only in the consumption of Yuan Qi, but also in the consumption of their souls!
Refining these two Detoxification Pills made Ning Yue feel as if his soul had been hollowed out. He was extremely weak and exhausted.
"Miss, quickly feed the Detoxification Pills to Ning He." Although tired, Elder Mo did not forget the important thing and said, "With the fourth-grade Detoxification Pill, the Corpse Yin Qi in his body will be completely forced out!"
Lu Wei did not dare to hesitate and quickly fed the Detoxification Pill to Ning He.
Fortunately, the Detoxification Pill melted in his mouth and went into his stomach through his throat. Otherwise, it would be a lot of trouble.
"Elder Mo, the Corpse Yin Qi is only forced out of the body?" Frowning, Ning Yue said doubtfully, "There is not much Corpse Yin Qi in my grandfather's body. The Detoxification Pill should be able to resolve it."
"The supreme Detoxification Pill can naturally resolve it, but the two Detoxification Pills we refined are only of the upper grade, so they can only force the Corpse Yin Qi out of the body, but not completely resolve it."
Elder Mo explained, "This is already very good. There is no difference between forcing it out of the body and resolving it. However, we still need to prepare a container to store the Corpse Yin Qi that will be forced out."
"The Corpse Yin Qi is very corrosive. Ordinary containers definitely can't store it." Ning Yue said.
"I have already prepared this. Middle-grade yellow-ranked magic weapon, Scarlet Jade Bottle." Elder Mo took out a scarlet jade bottle, stood up slowly, and came to the bedside.
At this time, the Corpse Yin Qi in Ning He's body kept retreating under the pressure of the Detoxification Pill.
Swoosh!
Finally, the Corpse Yin Qi retreated to Ning He's mouth and flew out.
Seeing this, Elder Mo quickly opened the scarlet jade bottle and exerted his Yuan Qi to force the Corpse Yin Qi into the jade bottle.
Chi Chi!
Even though Elder Mo's speed was fast, he was still astonished. If he had been any slower, the corpse yin qi would have corroded his elemental energy and caused it to run amok in the room.
It had to be known that Ning Yue and Lu Wei were only at the Houtian realm. Once they were contaminated by the corpse yin energy, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Your grandfather might be in a coma for a few more days, but he's basically fine." Putting away the scarlet jade bottle carefully, Elder Hiroshi said to Ning Yue, "It's time for me and Young Mistress to leave."
"Well, Elder Mo, I have a favor to ask of you."
Staring at Elder Hiroshi, Ning Yue said hesitantly, "I hope you can keep what happened here a secret."
"Hmm? Your father doesn't know about you … "Elder Mo came to a sudden realization. It seemed like Ning Yue had hidden his talent very deeply. He actually didn't tell his father about his alchemy talent.
Patting his chest, Elder Hiroshi assured, "Don't worry, I'm not a talkative person."
"Thank you, Elder Mo." Cupping his hands, Ning Yue said again, "Also, can you let me handle this corpse yin energy?"
"You want corpse yin energy!" Elder Hiroshi was shocked. Even he had to be careful with corpse yin energy. Once touched by it, the consequences would be disastrous. And now, Ning Yue actually wanted corpse yin energy? Could it be that he had some kind of unique secret technique?
Scratching his head, Ning Yue pretended to be embarrassed and said, "To tell you the truth, before Master left, he told me that if I encounter corpse yin energy, I must do everything in my power to collect it. He has a great use for it."
Ning Yue pushed everything to his imaginary master. After all, he was only at the early Houtian realm. It was not realistic for him to ask for corpse yin energy that even Xiantian realm cultivators feared.
"Since your master wants it, I'll give it to you." Knowing that it was Ning Yue's master who needed corpse yin energy, Elder Hiroshi did not refuse.
Carefully taking the jade bottle, Ning Yue said, "Thank you, Elder Hiroshi. When Master returns, I'll inform you immediately."
"Ning Yue, do you have any way to contact your master as soon as possible? As long as you can contact your master, I, I … "At the mention of Ning Yue's master, Lu Wei's eyes lit up. She even stuttered a little.
After all, according to the news from her family, her mother's illness could not drag on for much longer. Three months at most. If she could not concoct the Pill of Good Fortune in three months, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Calculating the time, the Pill Dragon Valley should explode in a week. I hope there's something inside that can attract the attention of a Sixth Realm Alchemist." Lu Wei made up her mind. If Ning Yue could not contact his master, she would do whatever it took to win over a Sixth Realm Alchemist!
"Lu Wei, don't worry. After tomorrow's deathmatch, I will use a secret technique to contact my master." Waving his hand, Ning Yue said, "When the time comes, you will know where he is."
"Many thanks." Lu Wei was a little excited. Once Ning Yue contacted his master, the family would have a seventy to eighty percent chance of successfully concocting the Pill of Good Fortune!
After witnessing Ning Yue's talent in alchemy, Lu Wei concluded that Ning Yue's master was at least a Seventh Realm Alchemist.
It was even possible that he was an Eighth Realm Alchemist!
Dan Chenzi was a Seventh Realm Alchemist. Although his disciple's talent in alchemy was top-notch, compared to Ning Yue, who was the same age as him, the difference was not small.
"No need. This time, I need to thank you. If not for your help, my grandfather might not have lasted long," Ning Yue was very clear that without Elder Mo and Lu Wei's help, his grandfather would not have survived the night.
After all, with his early Hou Tian cultivation, it was no different from a fool's dream to force the corpse Yin Qi out of his grandfather's body.
Subsequently, Ning Yue and the other two opened the secret chamber and walked out.
Creak!
Seeing the door of the secret chamber open, Ning Hai hurried over and asked anxiously, "How was it? Did you successfully concoct the Detoxification Pill?"
Nodding, Elder Mo said, "Ning He has already taken the Detoxification Pill. He may be in a coma for a few days, but it's not a big deal."
"Many thanks!" Ning Hai bowed deeply to Elder Hiroshi when he heard this, and he said, "Words cannot express my gratitude. Elder Hiroshi, I'll remember your kindness!"
"There is no need to thank me. Go and see Ning He, we are going back." For Elder Mo, this trip was really worthwhile. He wanted to use the experience of concocting the Detoxification Pill to strive to break through to Fourth Realm Alchemist in one fell swoop!
"Ning Yue, send Elder Mo and the others off. I will pay them a visit another day!" After thanking Elder Mo again, Ning Hai hurried into the secret chamber.
After sending off Elder Mo, Ning Yue quickly returned to his room.
Today, the Barbarian Corpse King's attack made Ning Yue realize that he still had too few life-saving methods. Once he was attacked by an expert, his life would be in danger.
Fortunately, he had obtained a bottle of corpse Yin Qi!
In the hands of ordinary alchemists, corpse Yin Qi was a gas that could take away one's life. But in the hands of Ning Yue, it was a treasure!
"With this corpse Yin Qi, I can refine it into the Corpse Yin Lightning Pill!" Looking at the corpse Yin Qi in the jade bottle, Ning Yue's face lit up with joy.
The Corpse Yin Lightning Pill was a Peak Second Realm Alchemy Pill. It was extremely corrosive!
In the hands of ordinary people, even if they had the Corpse Yin Lightning Pill, it would be useless. After all, they did not have the means that Ning Yue had!
Chapter 18
For the past three days, the most talked about topic was the deathmatch between Lin Feng and Ning Yue.
Three days ago, when Ning Yue proposed a deathmatch with Lin Feng, everyone was curious about Ning Yue's trump card to challenge Lin Feng, the absolute genius of the Lin Family.
Many martial artists arrived at the Tianxuan Square early in the morning.
The final five candidates for the Ice Cave assessment would be decided in this round.
If one could stand out in the Ice Cave assessment, he would attract the attention of the top management of Danwu College. Not only would he be admitted to Danwu College, but he would also have access to magical weapons and elixirs.
Somewhere in the Tianxuan Square, Ning Yue was dressed in black. Ning Xuan, Ning Hu and Ning Xin were standing around him.
"Xiao Yue, Lin Feng is in the middle stage of the Houtian Realm. I don't think you should fight him." Ning Xuan was one year older than Ning Yue and was at the peak of Body Tempering Stage Ten.
"That's right, Big Brother Yue. Where there's life, there's hope. With your alchemy talent, entering the Dan Wu Academy is just a matter of time. There's no need to lower yourself to Lin Feng's level," Ning Hu and Ning Xin echoed.
They didn't want Ning Yue to fight Lin Feng. After all, Lin Feng's cultivation was the highest among all the martial artists under the age of twenty in Tianxuan City. He was in the middle stage of the Houtian Realm!
Ning Yue waved his hand and said, "I know what I'm doing. You don't have to say anything."
"Brother Xuan, you have been at the peak of Body Tempering Stage Ten for two years. You only need one supreme Marrow Cleansing Pill to break through to the Houtian Realm, right?" Ning Yue knew Ning Xuan's physical condition at a glance. There were two hidden veins in his body that had not been cleared, which caused him to stay at the peak of Body Tempering Stage for two years.
As long as the two veins were cleared, he would be able to break through to the Houtian Realm. Furthermore, the residual Primordial Force in his veins could help him break through to the middle stage of the Houtian Realm!
"The Transcendent Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill is priceless. It has not appeared in Tianxuan City for ten years." Ning Xuan smiled bitterly. His expression turned somewhat dim, but it soon returned to normal. He smiled and said, "Little Yue, your talent in alchemy is very high. After you enter Danwu College and study for a few years, help me refine a Transcendent Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill."
"Leave it to me." Nodding his head, Ning Yue did not say anything because he knew that it was useless to say anything more. Ning Xuan and the others would not believe him anyway.
A transcendent-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill was extremely difficult to refine.
They definitely didn't believe that Ning Yue could refine a Superior Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill on his own, at least not within ten years!
"Hey, isn't this the genius of the Lin Family? Don't tell me you're very confident in the duel? "
At this moment, an ear-piercing voice rang out in Ning Yue's ears, causing his expression to darken.
Not far away, a few figures pushed through the crowd and slowly appeared in front of Ning Yue and the others.
"Oh, the geniuses of the Ning family are all here. Are you discussing how not to lose face later?" The leading cultivator smiled and made a gesture that he thought was very cool. He said, "You are destined to be disappointed. You should prepare your coffins as soon as possible. Hahaha …"
"Lin Shun!"
Looking at the person in front of him, Ning Xuan's expression changed. He said in surprise, "Your cultivation has reached the early stage of the Postliminary Realm!"
"Hehe, do you think everyone is as useless as you? It has been two years and you are still stuck at the peak of Body Tempering Stage Ten. Don't you feel ashamed? "
Lin Shun smiled and said, "I will pass the examination and enter Danwu College, but you are destined to stay in Tianxuan City for the rest of your life. It is impossible for you to meet her."
Hearing Lin Shun's words, Ning Xuan's body couldn't help but tremble. He was on the verge of exploding in anger.
"What's going on?" Seeing Ning Xuan's action, Ning Yue seemed to have noticed something and turned his head to ask.
"Brother Yue, the main reason why Brother Xuan has not been able to advance to the Postliminary Realm for two years is because of Lin Shun!"
Ning Xin carefully explained, "Two years ago, Brother Xuan and Lin Shun fell in love with the same girl at the same time, so they agreed to have a match. Who would have thought that Brother Xuan, who was at the peak of Body Tempering Stage Ten, would be defeated by Lin Shun, who was at the Body Tempering Stage Eight."
"What about that girl?" Ning Yue asked.
"Her talent is very high, and she was recruited into the Dan Wu Academy as an exception a year ago," Ning Xin said.
Ning Xuan's tolerance was very strong. Facing Lin Shun's mockery, he forcefully endured it.
Shrugging, Lin Shun also felt that Ning Xuan and Lin Shun were people from two different worlds. He turned around and said to Ning Yue, "Young Master Ning, how about it? Do you want to have a match with me before you fight Brother Feng?"
"My strength is not even a tenth of Brother Feng's. If you can't even beat me, I advise you not to fight Brother Feng and admit defeat."
Lin Shun's words attracted the attention of the surrounding cultivators as they discussed with each other.
They wanted to see how Ning Yue would deal with it.
"Look, Lin Shun is challenging Ning Yue to a duel."
"What's there to see? Ning Yue is not an idiot. He will not agree."
"Yes, Ning Yue is going to have a deathmatch with Lin Feng later. If he agrees now, he is either an idiot or a fool."
"Hmph! It doesn't matter if he agrees or not. He is just a Body Tempering Stage Five trash. Lin Feng can crush him with one hand. What makes him think he can fight Lin Feng to the death? " A youth with a cold face appeared and snorted, "Ning Yue has some guts to come here."
As Ning Yue had concealed his cultivation, he was still at Body Tempering Stage Five in the eyes of the crowd.
"It's Lin Yang, the second genius of the Lin Family. It is said that his strength is on par with Lin Feng." The crowd exclaimed again. This youth was the second genius of the Lin Family, Lin Yang!
"What's going on? The deathmatch hasn't even started and the Lin Family is already challenging the Ning family?"
"Three days ago, Ning Yue was in the limelight. The Lin Family naturally has to suppress him."
"That's right. Let's see how Ning Yue will deal with it. After all, Ning Yue is talented in alchemy. It is very likely that he will enter Danwu College."
Ning Yue frowned. He remembered Lin Shun. Three days ago, he was the one who refined the Qi Gathering Pill before Lin Shun, causing Lin Shun to lose his spot in the Ice Cave.
Ning Yue rolled his eyes and stretched out a finger. He shook it lightly and said, "You are not worthy."
"What!"
Ning Yue's words made Lin Shun dumbfounded. He could not believe it. He said, "Say that again?"
"Are you deaf? You want to fight me? You are not worthy. "Ning Yue shrugged.
"I want you to die!"
With a loud shout, Lin Shun rose from the ground. His body turned into a gust of wind and rushed towards Ning Yue.
At this moment, Lin Shun was extremely furious. Three days ago, Ning Yue had taken away his spot in the Ice Cave. Now, he was mocking him in front of so many people. How could he tolerate this?
"You're courting death!" Facing the approaching Lin Shun, Ning Yue frowned. Since Lin Shun didn't know what was good for him, then there was no need for him to hold back.
Bang!
Ning Yue clenched his right hand into a fist and punched out, colliding with Lin Shun's palm.
Kacha!
"Ah!"
