In the inner gate, there are green pines and cypresses, cranes soaring in the clouds, and the richness of spiritual energy is almost several times that of the outer mountain gate. By practicing here, both the speed of pulse opening and the speed of spiritual integration will be increased several times.
In the inner mountain gate, the 160 seekers who passed the review followed the deacons and entered the inner mountain gate and went to the inner mountain forbidden area.
To enter the inner gate, you only need to hold the inner gate pass. And this inner gate pass can actually be purchased. It only costs 500 pieces of fairy jade.
Ning Fan couldn't laugh or cry. If he had known that it was so easy to enter the inner door, why would he take the risk and break in privately?
Each disciple is issued a temporary pass order, which can only be used once. With this pass order, he can enter the inner gate once and participate in the second level assessment.
500 pieces of immortal jade to buy a permanent inner sect pass is an expensive expense for ordinary Pulse Pulse disciples, but for Ning Fan, a rich man with hundreds of thousands of immortal jade, it is really nothing.
After this assessment is over, why not go to the sect and buy a pass.
Along the way, the seekers in the team looked at Ning Fan more or less strangely. There is disdain and there is greed. Since these people came to learn how to practice demon cultivation, they were naturally not friendly people. Many of them were attracted by Ning Fan's "extremely high-level" dual cultivation technique. Even the arrogant Lu Ziqiao secretly threatened Ning Fan.
"Give me a copy of your technique. If you dare to refuse, I will make you regret it after entering the Demonic Forest."
Ning Fan just wanted to sneer at Lu Ziqiao's threat. After all, I am also a master of the middle stage of soul fusion, and my combat power is enough to kill the early stage of Jindan. Will I be afraid of Lu Ziqiao, who is at the fourth level of Pulse Pulse? Am I too low-key, so low-key that the ants feel that I am easy to bully?
In the darkness, there were countless cryptic eyes, with soul-melting thoughts, secretly looking at Ning Fan. Ning Fan frowned at this.
He could ignore Lu Ziqiao, but he couldn't ignore these Fusion Spirit elders. Being targeted by these people is somewhat troublesome. After all, if the other party is playing dirty tricks, Ning Fan is not conceited enough to see through the other party's schemes time and time again.
Shock... I must shock these old people. One or two would be too greedy.
Since it was impossible to keep a low profile from the beginning, it was not a bad idea to be high-profile. As long as it helps solve the problem, Ning Fan doesn't care about being high-profile and low-key.
In the back mountain of the inner mountain, a gloomy forest blocked by formations is the place for the second level assessment - the Demonic Ghost Forest.
In the second stage of the review, the senior management of the Ghost Bird Sect could not ignore it. There was even a Jindan elder who came to watch.
The Demonic Ghost Forest is dark and humid, and there are faint sounds of ghost resentment. Outside the Demonic Ghost Forest, an entire army of Ghost Bird Sect's war guards - the Eagle Guards - are stationed!
Being so close to the Demonic Ghost Forest, Ning Fan closed his eyes and released his spiritual thoughts slightly, trying to probe into the formation, but in vain.
The Demonic Ghost Forest is indeed cold, but it is completely different from the coldness of Xuan Yin Qi. Ning Fan frowned slightly. Could it be that the Xuan Yin Qi was not in the Demonic Forest?
If this is the case, I am afraid that I will come back empty-handed when I enter the Demonic Forest this time.
He withdrew his gaze and landed on the 500 Eagle Guards of the Ghost Bird Sect, his eyes brightening. These war guards, each with a cultivation level above the sixth level of Pimai, were practicing formations, which seemed to be some kind of ancient formations. This Eagle Guard's combat power is by no means weaker than that of the Mei Guard, and can even compete with the Sword Guard.
The Ghost Bird Sect does not seem to be as simple as it appears. Perhaps, there are no simple people who can establish a sect in the Yue Kingdom.
While Ning Fan was sizing up the Eagle Guards, Xu Rou, the Jindan elder who was at the forefront of the Eagle Guards, looked at Ning Fan and frowned.
Xu Rou knew Ning Fan's true identity. The old demon disciple is the great-grandson of the Lord of Ningcheng.
Xu Rou had quite a relationship with Lao Mo, but now she looked at Ning Fan with some worry. As soon as she probed with her spiritual thoughts, she felt that more than ten spiritual thoughts in the spirit-melting stage were locked on Ning Fan.
"What happened to this kid? Why did he get targeted by so many old monsters just after he joined the sect? Really, he loves getting into trouble just like Old Man Han. Do you want to help him?"
Xu Rou knew that Ning Fan had the mid-level cultivation of spirit fusion, and also heard that Ning Fan's dual cultivation technique was of a high level that could shatter the test crystal, but Xu Rou took all of this as a matter of course.
The technique that can shatter the test crystal is at least the Nascent Soul level technique. It is not surprising that Ning Fan has this technique. With Lao Mo's status as a third-level alchemist, it's not easy to create a Nascent Soul-level technique, but it's not difficult at all.
And it is only reasonable that Ning Fan can break through the middle stage of soul fusion at the weak age of 17 years old, and advance so quickly to practice dual cultivation techniques.
The only thing that puzzled Xu Rou was why a person like Lao Mo, with his eyes above his head, would teach his disciples the dual cultivation technique. Dual Cultivation Technique is one of the most unpromising techniques among magic arts... It is extremely fast at the beginning, but as you get later, it becomes more difficult to practice, and there are more bottlenecks. Moreover, the magic power is insignificant and the combat power is often low... .
It's just that Xu Rou hasn't cared about Ning Fan yet, but there are people who care about Ning Fan first.
The young master of the Li family who attracted attention before, Li Zhihuan, a practitioner of the body-seizing demonic skill, quietly approached Ning Fan and whispered.
"Brother Ning, I'm afraid you're in trouble. Do you want Li to help you?"
"Help me?" Ning Fan raised his eyebrows. Lu Ziqiao, who had just left the fourth level of Pimai, now came Li Zhihuan, who was on the third level of Pimai. Do these young people like Pimai really want to make their own decisions?
"That's right. Mr. Li is the best at judging people. Brother Ning has an evil look on his face and a black light shining through his body. He must not be a mortal..."
"..." Ning Fan had a strange look on his face. Is this Li Zhihuan praising someone? Doesn't complimenting someone usually mean 'a face full of luck and a body filled with purple light'?
"Brother Ning just tested, and the skills revealed are of a high level, and I'm afraid it has attracted countless people to be greedy. In a place like the Demon Sect, where people kill without calculation, it is not good news to offend so many people. In Li's opinion, Ning Fan had better give this skill away, after all, 'Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade'..."
"Oh? Brother Li, who do you think Ning Fan should give the technique to?" Ning Fan looked unmoved.
"There is an elder in the Li clan who happens to be an elder in our sect. Brother Ning, why don't you give him the skill and use it to offer treasures and merits and become attached to him. With Elder Li protecting you, if you want to come to the Demon Sect, there will be no one else. People dare to take ideas from your exercises."
"Thank you Brother Li for your kindness, but Ning asked himself, no one in the Ghost Bird Sect dares to steal my skills."
Ning Fan did not lower his voice. Not only Li Zhihuan heard this, but Lu Ziqiao heard it, 160 seekers heard it, and even the dozen or so Lingling elders hiding in the dark heard it!
Li Zhihuan frowned slightly. In front of him, Ning Fan, who was younger than himself, seemed a little too arrogant. Did Ning Fan think that he, a mere young man, could block the evil hands of countless seniors such as Rong Ling? This is the Demon Sect. As long as you steal things in a hidden way, no one will care!
Just as Ning Fan finished speaking, a beautiful figure in a blue robe came curling up with gentle steps.
As soon as the woman appeared, her eyes moved, and all the young men present held their breath. And many people who have heard about the identity of the woman in blue have fiery eyes.
"Lan Mei, the daughter of the leader of the Ghost Bird Sect, has always ignored secular affairs. Why did she come to observe the sect's apprenticeship assessment today?"
Is it possible that among the seekers present for the assessment, there is someone whom the dignified Young Master Lanmei cares about?
hiss! Leng Ao Ru Lan Mei finally has a man he cares about?
And when the eyes of the ghost sparrow masters fell on Lan Mei's bare hands, they were even more shocked.
But he saw that what Lan Mei was holding in his hand was actually a black jade slip engraved with a bird's seal - the sect leader's message slip.
This Lan Mei came here with the jade slip of the sect master. Could it be that he is the sect master of Gui Que and has an order to issue?
What surprised the experts present the most was that Lan Mei, who had always been cold and arrogant, slowly walked up to Ning Fan. And for the first time, a stiff smile appeared on his never-smiling face.
"Ning Fan, you are really capable of causing trouble."
"Yeah, I don't think there's any trouble. However, your smile is really ugly..."
This smile fell in the eyes of experts who were familiar with Lanmei, as if they had seen a ghost.
Oh my god, the young master is smiling, smiling at Ning Fan! What is the relationship between Ning Fan and the young master... Ning Fan, Ning Fan, this name seems a little familiar...
Seeing that Ning Fan and Lan Mei knew each other and had a very good relationship, the masters who originally harbored hostility towards Ning Fan showed up one after another, and how could they dare to show any hostility towards Ning Fan.
Even a fool can see that Ning Fan must have a great background. Several Rongling elders were wondering about Ning Fan's origins... Qimei Ning Fan, now that I think about it, it seems that she is really familiar. Where have I heard it?
But when everyone was confused, Lan Mei smiled slightly and crushed the jade slip in her palm. The jade slips shattered, and an indifferent voice came from the leader of the Gui Que Sect, Gui Quezi.
"Ning Fan is a disciple of Han Yaozun and the grandson of Ning Heimao in Ningcheng. No one is allowed to provoke Ning Fan. Otherwise, he will be killed without mercy!"
The sect master's voice slowly disappeared in the wind, but the whole scene became strangely quiet because of Gui Quezi's order.
The expressions on everyone's faces were all of shock!
Thinking about it, those Rong Ling elders finally remembered where they had heard of Ning Fan. Qimei City Dao Fruit Auction, the chief auctioneer, the person who shocked the demons at a glance - Ning Fan!
Ning Fan, the disciple of the old demon and the grandson of Ning Hei Mo, cannot be offended. No wonder there is such an advanced dual cultivation method with such a background...
All the soul-melting masters took a breath of air. No one dared to have any thoughts about Ning Fan, and even the original intention of soliciting Ning Fan was gone.
Since Ning Fan is the old demon's apprentice, he naturally belongs to the Four Demon Lords faction, who can recruit him!
"Fortunately...fortunately the sect master gave this order. Otherwise, if we and other spirit-melting masters did not know Ning Fan's profound background and rashly attacked him, we would not only offend the 'Yao Zun', but also offend the most popular 'Black Demon' in the Yue Kingdom. Respect'!"
Jindan elder Xu Rou also breathed a sigh of relief, never expecting that the sect leader would personally come forward to solve Ning Fan's troubles.
Lu Ziqiao, who had threatened Ning Fan before, now had a rare look of fear on his cold face. He, Lu Ziqiao, is cold and arrogant, but that depends on who is right. Ning Fan's background is enough to make him fearful. He is someone that the entire Lu family dare not offend!
Li Zhihuan, who had previously threatened Ning Fan in disguise, was finding it difficult to calm down at this moment. He said before that Ning Fan was arrogant and ignorant, but now it seems that he is clearly the one who is arrogant and ignorant.
With Ning Fan's background, who in the Ghost Bird Sect dares to try his best to practice? It's ridiculous that I think I'm smart and give him so-called 'good advice'. It's really ridiculous.
As for Bai Xiu, who had previously despised Ning Fan, he now regretted it even more. His previous indifferent words must have offended Ning Fan. It's over...
Now, it is difficult for Ning Fan to keep a low profile in the Ghost Bird Sect.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed, he looked into Lan Mei's eyes and smiled meaningfully, "Your father saved them."
This jade slip from Gui Quezi appears to be protecting Ning Fan, but in fact, it is protecting the masters of the sect.
According to Ning Fan's plan, he originally planned to establish his authority in a high profile, but not through publicity. If there is a spirit-melting master who follows Ning Fan into the Demon Forest without knowing what he is doing, Ning Fan will kill him. Ning Fan firmly believed that after killing a few Fusion Spirits, he would naturally not dare anyone to offend him without knowing what he was doing.
However, Gui Quezi's jade slip ruined Ning Fan's possibility of killing people and establishing his authority. And it seems that this jade slip is actually a reminder to Ning Fan.
Gui Quezi didn't want Ning Fan to go on a killing spree within the sect. After all, these masters were at least considered to be the foundation of the Gui Que sect.
What a ghost. He only met Ning Fan once, but he had a thorough understanding of Ning Fan's character.
"Tell your father, I won't kill anyone easily. But if someone comes to my door, I won't show mercy."
Ning Fan smiled slightly, as if he remembered something, and apologized to Lan Mei, "I just didn't expect that the assessment would take so much time. Let's postpone the treatment for you for now. You don't have to be too anxious."
"Who's worried?"
Lan Mei blushed. If she had a choice, she would not let Ning Fan treat her.
It's so embarrassing to see a place like that...
An Elder of Rongling climbed onto the high platform and Xu Xu explained the rules of the second level assessment. But Ning Fan had no intention of listening to all this, because Lan Mei in front of him hesitated, took out a storage bag from his arms and handed it to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan glanced at the storage bag with his spiritual mind and suddenly looked strange.
Two bottles of Spirit-Upgrading Pill, the effect is self-explanatory... One bottle of Ghost-Suppressing Pill, after taking it, all evils will not invade, and you will not be afraid of ghosts... A silver formation plate can be used to lay down small 'spirit' level formations anytime and anywhere. , rest and practice in it... An ancient map depicts the entire Demonic Forest, with countless red dots and black dots marked on it.
Red dots represent elixirs, black dots represent danger.
I couldn't help but think that Ning Fan didn't have a strange look on his face, this was really damning. Lan Mei, who had never had a good impression of herself, actually gave herself something, and the things she gave were all valuable.
"what do you mean..."
"It's not interesting..." Lan Mei's eyes dodge. She doesn't know why she wants to give Ning Fan so many things.
Probably, he was worried that Ning Fan would be in danger if he entered the Demonic Forest. After all, this Ning Fan is not the master of Ansheng, and deep in the Demonic Ghost Forest, there is a terrifying ghost king that even the sparrows are very afraid of... I hope Ning Fan doesn't run around...
In the middle stage of soul-melting, a lot of people died in the Demonic Forest. Lan Mei always felt that Ning Fan would not follow the seeker and stay in Novice Village.
It's just you, why are you worried about Ning Fan? Why? not understand.
"Probably, it's because Ning Fan still wants to treat me, so he can't die." Lan Mei thought in this way.
