Ning Fan turned around and looked at the thin old man behind him with a fearful expression.
He is as short as five feet tall, as skinny as a stick, with a face as cold as a zombie. He is dressed in black feathered clothes, with black mist covering his body. His hair is as messy as a hedgehog, his eyes are blood red, but his skin is white and oozing... It is expected that after many years , caused by living in a lightless place.
As soon as this person appeared, Ning Fan felt an extremely strong sense of crisis...
Broken Xu!
The price of opening his mouth was the Ming Luo Fruit, and the threat of life and death was the threat of life and death. This old man made his request without giving Ning Fan any room to refuse.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with coldness. He didn't like this feeling of being threatened...even if the other party was Old Monster Suixu!
His thoughts were spinning... The old man in front of him didn't speak much, which showed that he had a withdrawn character. His eyes are fierce, and he should be the kind of character who can catch people directly when they meet them. This kind of person, judging from his personality, should not bother talking nonsense to him. Whatever he wants to do, he can just use his cultivation to suppress it!
But this person didn't take action to catch Ning Fan, he just threatened him... Was it because of the girl's face, or... there was another reason...
Faintly, Ning Fan felt that the old man's gaze seemed to be extremely wary of the earthly demonic fire he used to make elixirs - the Black Demonic Flame. The fear was hidden deeply, but with Ning Fan's eyesight, he still found the clues.
Weird... old monster Suixu, would he be afraid of a single type of earth-vein demon fire? !
The old man in black robe, surrounded by black mist, seems to have the effect of blocking his spiritual thoughts, making it impossible for people to spy on his cultivation. For the old monster Suixu, this method was a bit superfluous and unnecessary... Moreover, this black mist aura gave Ning Fan a very familiar feeling, and immediately, he remembered where he had seen this black mist. fog.
There is the same aura on the core of the Mingluo Fruit! The ten thousand-year elixir in the girl's kit also has this aura!
Ning Fan seemed to have a guess. He slashed with his sword and immediately broke through the black fog on the old man's body. Finally, he could clearly see the old man's cultivation.
"Jian Nian?!"
The old man was slightly startled, and his words were as precious as gold. After being surprised, he saw Ning Fan's expression turned gloomy.
"you saw it!"
"Yes, I saw it... Tell me, if you have anything to do, please ask me for help. If you can pay me enough, maybe I will agree."
Ning Fan showed an inexplicable smile, but he no longer had the deep fear of the old man as before.
This old man is indeed the old monster Suixu...but he is not here. And this old man has a natural fear of his own black magic flame...
Among the clues, Ning Fan discovered the aura leaked by the old man, and when his sword thought cut through the black mist, he discovered the old man's true identity.
The old man is not a person, but a tree! An old tree that has become a spirit, a Mingluo tree!
What came here was just a clone of the old man's roots, pierced all the way from the ninth floor of the Underworld Tomb. It had a void-shattering aura, but its magic power was only that of the god-transformation stage.
All this seems to be the special suppression of the underworld... Monsters, high-level monsters, cannot travel through low-level soil layers.
The Mingluo tree is an extremely strange tree. It cannot see a trace of fire, otherwise it will wither immediately... The old man Mingluo tree has become a spirit. If he is the deity, he may be able to resist the demonic fire of the earth veins with his magic power... But he only came to transform into a spirit. The first-level clone, facing Ning Fan's fifth-grade spiritual fire - black demonic flames, might wither without even having to take action!
In a short period of time, Ning Fan discovered the old man's weakness through various signs and gave up his fear of the old man. If the old man really came in person and made a request, Ning Fan might not have any choice. But since the old man has many weaknesses, it would be a shame to be threatened by him!
The old man's face was gloomy. His mind was always focused on the girl, worried that something might happen to her. Fortunately, Ning Fan didn't do anything to the girl, and the old man didn't bother to show up.
But after witnessing Ning Fan's alchemy breakthrough to level five, an idea arose in the old man's mind.
He wants to capture Ning Fan and keep him in the underworld as the girl's exclusive alchemist! If there is help from a fifth-level alchemist, perhaps the 'virtual poison' in the girl's body...
With his Shattering Void cultivation, he was suppressed by the underworld and could not reach the fifth level. Therefore, he could only send tree root clones to capture people.
But when the clone came, he discovered that Ning Fan held the terrifying earth-vein demon fire in his hands... If it were the fifth-grade demon fire, he wouldn't be afraid of it... It's a pity that it's just a tree-root clone. Due to the special physique of the Mingluo tree, , I only know that if it is illuminated by the fire, I am afraid that the clone will wither and die immediately.
Therefore, the old man gave up the idea of directly capturing Ning Fan. Instead, he used the Ning Luo Fruit as a inducement, secretly released the pressure, and threatened life and death... First, he forced Ning Fan to agree to his request, and then brought him to the ninth floor of the Ning Tomb. After that... everything is under your control! At that time, there was no question whether he would give Ning Fan the reward he deserved. As for Ning Fan, it is impossible for him to leave the Underworld Grave again!
The old man's threat actually contained infinite dangers. If he were an ordinary person, he might have been overwhelmed by Shaoxu's power, and his mind was in a panic, unable to think carefully, and he fell into the old man's trap.
But Ning Fan had already seen Suixu, including Bone Emperor, Nirvana Emperor, Xiao Diao, Yun Bushu and others. It was not that he had never seen Suixu before, he also had the inheritance of the Immortal Emperor. How could he be shocked by the old man's name Suixu? live.
Ning Fan did not panic, but saw flaws in the old man's words, deeds, and aura.
At this moment, Ning Fan smiled and said nothing, looking at the old man. He wanted to hear what the old man requested from him. If the request was not difficult, he would be extremely willing to obtain a few Mingluo fruits.
However, if the old man wants to enter the ninth floor of the Underworld Tomb, then... don't even think about it!
And it is impossible for the old man to threaten himself with life and death again!
"Ah, grandpa... don't be angry, Brother Pancake is a good person..." the girl said timidly. And only when he looked at the girl, the old man showed a kind look.
"Mingque, you are still young... When you grow up, you will know that people's hearts are sinister... If it weren't for you, I would not want to come into contact with the human race at all costs!"
The old man's eyes met Ning Fan's smiling gaze, with anger in his heart.
Being threatened by him, Ning Fan didn't even get angry and even smiled...Human beings are indeed extremely sophisticated and despicable...His emotions and anger are not written on his face.
The old man didn't understand why Ning Fan laughed. Laughter is an expression, a calm and composed principle of life, which has nothing to do with mood, let alone sadness and joy.
"I'm Ming Luo, as you can see, I'm just a tree root clone. I can't do anything to you. I do have something to ask for... specifically, please come to the ninth floor of the Ming Tomb and have a good time with me." Let’s discuss it.”
"I won't enter the ninth floor...or even the sixth floor!"
Ning Fan stopped smiling, took three steps back, and suddenly stamped his foot, causing a black flame to be stepped into the ground by Ning Fan.
Immediately, a tree root on the ground was burned to ashes with a hiss, and the old man named Ming Luo immediately groaned, seemingly slightly injured.
Sneak attack? ! The old man actually took advantage of the opportunity to speak and sneak-attacked Ning Fan with his roots!
"You lured me into the ninth level and attacked me with your roots... who is this despicable and shameless person... I don't want the Mingluo Fruit anymore. I'll give up on helping you... Seeing that you are wise For Grandpa Que’s sake, I won’t kill your clone. If you stop me again, I have a way to kill your clone and cause your body to be harmed once!”
Ning Fan's eyes turned cold, he put away the alchemy cauldron and extinguished the earth fire. If it weren't for the fact that this place was only under the control of the old man, and there were countless gods and monsters watching, he would never have been so polite to the old man, let alone kill his clone...
"Hmph! I want to leave! I really can't do anything to you, but this grave demon obeys my orders. I may not be able to kill you, but I won't let you leave. Can you leave!"
The old man's eyes turned cold, and his mind seemed to be transmitting some order to the surroundings. Immediately, one by one, god-level monsters came towards Ning Fan step by step with fierce eyes... This was a threat! And this threat is obviously more difficult to deal with than the old man's clone!
In the stalemate, the girl on the side stamped her foot eagerly... For some reason, she didn't want to see the cake brother she had just met get into trouble with her grandpa.
"That's enough! Grandpa, if you hurt Brother Pancake, I will, I will never take 'medicine' again!"
A hint of black light flashed violently in the girl's eyes, and immediately, a pressure like the master of the demon clan made all the demon beasts hibernate on the ground and tremble.
Monsters, Ming Luo, who is afraid of the old demon Suixu, is even more afraid of girls!
Just after this black light flashed, the girl's face immediately showed a look of pain, which seemed to cause the black light to flash violently. It was extremely difficult for her.
And mysterious black lines began to appear on the girl's face as her expression became more and more painful... and a pair of black wings sprouted from her back, piercing through her clothes!
Pain, excruciating pain, the girl screamed in pain and fainted almost as soon as her wings sprouted...
The old man, on the other hand, showed a look of horror after witnessing the girl's sudden change.
"No, she used that demonic power rashly, and the 'virtual poison' started to attack again... She must be given medicine immediately!"
Void poison, in ancient times, was a very powerful poison. It was produced from the black feathers of the tail of the ancient Hades bird. It was a fusion of the power of the void and the ultimate poison of the Ancient Hades bird. An adult ancient bird with weak tail feathers can easily kill a true immortal with poison.
A long time ago, the old man discovered that there was a virtual poison in Mingque's body... He tried his best to suppress the poison, but in the end he was shocked to find that the poison was far more powerful than he expected. With his Xu-shattering cultivation, he could not Cannot be erased!
The old man prepared a certain kind of medicinal liquid using several thousand-year-old elixirs, which barely suppressed the virtual poison. As long as Mingque did not use his demonic power rashly, it would not cause toxicity. And taking some medicine every once in a while can keep suppressing this poison.
He didn't know how to alchemy, and the medicine he prepared couldn't cure Xudu's poison. Gradually, Xudu seemed to have become resistant to the medicine, making it difficult to suppress it. Once the virtual poison completely breaks out, Mingque may die... So, after learning that Ning Fan had broken through to the fifth level of alchemy, he thought...
But he never expected that in order to protect Ning Fan, Xiao Mingque would actually use the forbidden demonic power, causing the virtual poison to attack in advance!
The old man was extremely anxious. At this moment, he no longer had the time to scheming with Ning Fan... This time, I wonder if Mingque can survive this ordeal...
His eyes were filled with anger, as if he wanted to eat Ning Fan!
"If Mingque dies, I will burn my demon soul, and I will never recover. I will rush out of the underworld grave and cut your body into thousands of pieces... Brat, get out of here! Get out of the underworld grave!"
The old man picked up the unconscious girl and immediately flew back to the ninth floor of the underworld.
But Ning Fan did not leave. He frowned but still called the old man. He really didn't like the old man very much, but for the girl... he couldn't help but care about her.
"etc!"
"What else do you want!" The old man turned back angrily. After seeing a trace of worry in Ning Fan's eyes, his anger subsided slightly.
"She is not poisoned... If I read correctly, the power she used before should be the 'power of demons' of the ancient royal family Mingque... I don't know what your medicine is, but Most likely, it is the effect of suppressing the virtual poison... Suppression does not help her, but harms her!" Ning Fan's eyes were solemn.
"The power of the demon! The royal bird! Impossible! She is a little alchemy demon, and I saw her grow up with my own eyes!" The old man's heart trembled. As a demon clan, it is impossible not to know the name of the ancient bird, let alone Maybe you don’t know the terror of the royal bird.
He saw with his own eyes that a pill demon took shape, grew up, and turned into a girl... How could such a pill demon be an ancient ghost bird, a monster giant... This is simply nonsense!
However, after Ning Fan said this, the old man also felt that the mysterious power in the girl's body was indeed like the legendary royal bird, the power of the demon.
The ancient Hades Bird is a giant of the demon race, while the Royal Hades Bird is one of a kind. Only the royal bird can give birth to the power of demons, and with this power, the royal bird can easily frighten other demons.
Mingque, a little girl, has been inexplicably restrained towards the demon clan since she was born. Perhaps it was this power of restraint that made her fall in love with them... If this power is really the power of demons, then everything makes sense. Already...
The old man showed a look of struggle, but after thinking deeply, he already believed Ning Fan's seemingly absurd conclusion.
The old man didn't understand how the Alchemy Demon became a royal bird. But the fact seemed to be the case.
If this demonic power is the power of the demonic ghost, then this virtual poison should have been a great benefit for Mingque. With a little bit of refinement, maybe decades later, she is not a master of virtual refining, but she has also reached the realm of god transformation... It's just that This virtual poison has been suppressed by me with medicine... and the power of the medicine has nourished the virtual poison invisibly, making the virtual poison become more and more powerful...
If Mingque completely refines this virtual poison, perhaps it will be enough to break through the virtual refining stage... However, such a terrifying poison is not something she, a little girl at the golden elixir stage, can swallow!
If Mingque dies, he will definitely die from the virtual poison that is out of control... and the reason why the virtual poison is out of control is because he has been suppressing it!
"How sure are you that she possesses the power of demons..." The old man closed his eyes bitterly.
"Seventy percent..." Ning Fan said calmly.
"Haha, when you say that, I am 80% sure... No wonder this virtual poison can absorb the power of medicinal liquid and grow. I understand... Now Mingque, there is still hope..."
"As soon as the virtual poison is dissipated, death will undoubtedly occur. On the ninth floor of the tomb, not even a blade of grass will grow..."
"Haha, little friend, you have underestimated the power of this virtual poison... If the virtual poison is dispersed, not only the ninth floor of the underworld will be dead, but also the one hundred thousand feet underground and within a radius of one hundred thousand miles will be wiped out! Little one! Friend, I won’t talk nonsense with you, but you have the means to save her!”
"Yes, 30% sure..."
"Thirty percent..."
Ning Fan closed his eyes slightly.
Life or death is a matter of fate, and he is only 30% sure of rescuing the girl... The girl's physique is too strange, and the level of the poison is unknown... There are too many uncertainties, and it is already rare to be 30% sure.
"Really, 30%... I'm not even 10% sure... If you are willing to save Mingque, tell me what the conditions are!" The old man's eyes flashed and he said solemnly!
"I have three conditions... The first condition is that you must hand over a trace of your true soul to me. In this way, if you are unfavorable to me, I can seriously hurt you at any time!"
"That's...ok!" The old man hesitated slightly. The reason for hesitation was not to hand over his true soul, but because Ning Fan's first condition was not to ask for benefits, but to protect himself.
"The second condition is that I want to use your ten thousand-year elixir... With this elixir, I can save people, which can be increased to 70%!"
"70%! Of course this is possible!" At first, the old man was disdainful when he heard Ning Fan asked for the ten thousand-year elixir, but he heard that these elixirs were to increase the success rate of saving people and give him a 70% chance of saving Mingque. , the old man immediately agreed and was overjoyed.
"I haven't thought about the third condition yet... If I save this little girl, I will ask for reward on this condition... If the treatment fails, the virtual poison will be dissipated... I don't think this virtual poison , can affect countries hundreds of thousands of feet above the ground... But I believe that in the grave, I will die..."
Ning Fan gave the old man a thoughtful look. The old man said before that the spread of the virtual poison would destroy the country hundreds of thousands of miles above the ground. This was definitely a lie. The purpose was to make Ning Fan think that there was no way to escape and take the risk to detoxify Mingque.
Without this threat, the old man couldn't guarantee whether Ning Fan would leave the grave... But he didn't know that Ning Fan had many shortcomings as a person, but he always repaid kindness.
The girl's kindness to Ning Fan was insignificant, but if it were not to help Ning Fan get out of the siege, she would not use the power of the demon rashly, nor would she touch the virtual poison and fall into danger.
But this may also be a chance for her... If this hadn't happened, Ning Fan might have just left, not knowing that this woman's virtual poison was delayed, and one day, this woman would explode from the virtual poison and die.
There is a 70% chance of saving Mingque. If successful, Ning Fan will be fine. If he fails, the virtual poison will break out, the grave will no longer exist, and he will die in the grave. A 30% chance of death is enough to scare ordinary monks, but for Ning Fan, a 70% chance is enough for him to take a risk.
If Ming Que is not saved, then Ning Fan will ask himself, what kind of path has he achieved? If I don't save Ming Que, my last bit of persistence towards En will become ridiculous!
He will save Mingque, but not because of the old man's threat, nor to ask for reward... just because of Daoxin's persistence!
He slowly escaped from a sound transmission stone, pointed out a magic formula, and transmitted the sound to Xue Qing.
"Xue Qing, take Zhihe, Xiaolan, Sisi... and leave the graveyard quickly!"
He decided to take this risk himself, but he never wanted to implicate Zhihe and other women! He did not give any explanation to Xue Qing and others.
This is my way!
In Ning Fan's eyes, there was a hint of Taoist transformation, which was proceeding slowly but shockingly! The divine will of rain also slowly transformed under the transformation of this Taoist heart!
