Grasping Evil Chapter 501

Chapter 501: Chapter 501: There is Danger in the Divine Chests, Be Careful When Cutting the Stone

“Precisely. Indeed, I have a batch of divine chests in my hands that have yet to be unsealed. They are being kept in the Purple Qi Palace. My cultivation base is weak and low so I can’t open them. Therefore, I want to ask for your help. Of course, it doesn’t matter even if you fail to unlock them since it’s extremely difficult to do so. However, if you manage to successfully open them, I’m willing to share the treasures inside equally with you. I wonder if you are willing to give it a try?”
Venerated Pill’s eyes flashed with hope. He was aware that Ning Fan had extraordinary abilities. That was why he sought his help.
Without a doubt, Venerated Pill did not have high hopes of opening the divine chests. He was only thinking of letting Ning Fan try it out.
“Since Daoist Dan showed great kindness and generosity by inviting me, I certainly am willing to give it a try. I will do my best but as to whether or not I can open the divine chests, it all depends on luck. I just can’t figure out one thing. The ancient divine race has already vanished for a long time and the ancient divine chests are also extremely rare. I am curious where you get the divine chests from.” Ning Fan asked.
“I discovered all those divine chests in the outer region of the ‘Immortal Burning Valley’! Hehe. Fellow Daoist, please come with me.”
Venerated Pill laughed heartily and guided Ning Fan towards the Purple Qi Palace.
Ning Fan’s eyes slightly shone with surprise. He was startled by the name of that valley which Venerated Pill had mentioned.
Even though he had never been to a lot of cultivation countries in the Rain World, he had heard of the infamy of the Immortal Burning Valley.
The Immortal Burning Valley was an ancient forbidden area located in Western Flame Country which was a void grade cultivation country. According to hearsay, it was the historical remains left behind after an ancient sect had been annihilated. The valley was full of opportunities and fortunes but was accompanied by risks and dangers which were equally huge.
Many experts of the Rain World would head to the Immortal Burning Valley to seek fortunes. Unfortunately, cultivators whose cultivation bases were below the Nascent Soul Realm could not even enter the outer region of the valley.
As for those cultivators who managed to enter the outer region, nine out of ten would end up dead.
If one wishes to enter the valley, their cultivation bases would need to be at least at the Absolute Void Stage. Only then could they pass through the fire formation of the inner region of the valley. Unfortunately, Venerated Pill was unable to enter the inner region and could only search for treasures in the outer region.
The deepest part of the Immortal Burning Valley was said to host a place called the “Abyss of Death”. It was sealed off by a sea of flames formed by layers of interweaving immortal flames. No one including Void Fragmentation Realm experts were capable of going there… Even if they force their way into that place, chances are they would lose their lives…
Ning Fan had always suspected that the reason why the Rain Sovereign attached so much importance to his ‘Indestructible Fire Body’ was because he wanted him to enter the Abyss of Death which was surrounded by the sea of immortal flames to search for something.
Well, it was just Ning Fan’s guess. What the Rain Sovereign truly wanted him to do was not something he could conclude on his own by just making wild guesses.
Now, Venerated Pill told him that he had brought out a few divine chests from the outer region of the Immortal Burning Valley. Ning Fan could not help but feel interested.
While absorbed in his thoughts, the two of them arrived at the Purple Qi Palace in a flash. It was a forbidden palace inside a remote place of a mountain that was covered by purple mist.
The spiritual veins around this Purple Qi Palace were not as excellent as those around the Primordial Heaven Palace. However, a Low Grade Mortal Void Realm defensive grand formation had been set up outside the palace with many experts of the Pill Island guarding this place.
It was clear that Venerated Pill attached great importance to this palace judging from how strict the defenses were in here.
“Greetings to Venerated Pill! Greetings to Revered Ming!” Each of the cultivators there immediately bowed to greet Venerated Pill and Revered Ming as soon as they saw them coming.
“You may dispense with the formalities! Zhu Qing, guard this place and don’t let anyone enter the Purple Qi Palace. I want to enter with Revered Ming and I don’t want us to be disturbed.” Venerated Pill said with an imposing tone.
“Understood!” The leader of the cultivators who were guarding this place immediately initiated the formation light. None of them dared to neglect Venerated Pill’s orders.
Only when both Ning Fan and Venerated Pill had gone inside the palace did Zhu Qing ask his men to close the grand formation again. However, his eyes had a look of shock that was difficult to conceal.
The same look also appeared on the faces of the other cultivators there.
“Only the three divine chests are kept inside the Purple Qi Palace… Could it be that the reason why Venerated Pill and Revered Ming came to the palace together is to unlock those divine chests?!” A young cultivator surmised.
“In the past several hundreds of years, Venerated Pill had also invited a number of Void Refinement Realm experts to open the divine chests but none of them succeeded. Today, he invited Revered Ming to unlock those divine chests. I guess he probably won’t succeed as well, right?” An elderly cultivator shook his head.
“Be careful with your words! Is Revered Ming someone you can privately discuss behind his back? Quickly shut up!” Zhu Qing commanded and released his Divine Transformation Realm aura force which silenced everyone.
In the Purple Qi Palace, Ning Fan was walking beside Venerated Pill while carefully studying the arrangements within the palace.
The interior of the palace had the structure of 回[1] and was divided into interior and exterior regions. The floor within the palace had been paved using turquoise while the room was being lit up by moonstones which filled the inside of the palace with glorious splendor.
In the external region of the palace, there were a pair of Nascent Soul Realm spiritual puppets standing guard beside the pathway for every tens of steps.
After entering the internal palace, sixteen Divine Transformation Realm spiritual puppets could be seen in every corner.
Moreover, it was protected by layers of grand formations. Other than Venerated Pill, no one else could enter this area.
Three tall jade white platforms were built inside the grand formation. Each was placed with a massive bluestone on top.
All of the bluestones had circular shape and were approximately ten zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall. From afar, however, they all looked like pebbles.
The surface of the gigantic stones had tight clusters of green runes which emanated ancient qi while giving off eternal brilliance. With those runes on them, the stones became unusually durable. Even a Void Refinement Realm attack would not be able to crush them.
The three bluestones were the three divine chests. Each of them contained secret treasures.
“These are… bronze grade divine chests!” Ning Fan said with a somewhat surprised tone.
It was his first time seeing the fabled divine chests so his eyes shone in awe.
In the ancient divine race, divine chests were also divided into different grades. Divine chests using bluestones to seal the treasures were known as bronze grade divine chests. They were commonly used to store the least significant secret treasures. On top of bronze grade divine chests, there were still silver grade, gold grade and more.
However, to the cultivators of later generations, even bronze grade divine chests which were the most common grade were also priceless.
“Fellow Daoist certainly has great knowledge to actually know the grades of the divine chests. Indeed, these three divine chests are bronze grade. They are the ones I found in the outer region of the Immortal Burning Valley. Apart from these three divine chests, I also found the Flamelight Goblet during that trip. That goblet enabled me to boldly guess that the cultivators who left these three divine chests behind were pill refinement masters! That’s why I think the treasures inside those divine chests must be related to pill refinement!” Venerated Pill explained.
Ning Fan went silent. He had seen that goblet before. It was the greatest treasure of Pill Island. However, he did not expect that it would be found alongside the three divine chests.
The Flamelight Goblet had the unique effect of assessing pills. It was a priceless treasure but it wasn’t even kept inside the divine chests. In other words, the items stored inside these three divine chests were much more impressive than the goblet.
“Each of the divine chests has divine runes left by the ancient divine cultivators. With those runes, it’s extremely difficult to cut the divine chests open and obtain the treasures inside the stones…”
Venerated Pill let out a sigh. He took out a red fiery flying sword and suddenly leapt into the air. He flew toward one of the divine chests as if he wanted to show Ning Fan how tough the divine chests were.
The flying sword he held was a Half-Step Mortal Void Treasure. The sword produced countless fire sword lights when he brandished it. Its destructive power was even capable of injuring a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator.
Countless rays of sword light assailed the first divine chest like rain. However, those attacks only emitted crisp collision sounds and could not even leave a scratch on the bluestone at all.
“Just as what you’ve seen, the toughness of the divine chests can even disregard Half-Step Void Refinement Realm attacks. Even if I use my Soul Transforming Dragon Technique to unleash a Void Glimpse Stage attack, I still can’t blast the bluestones to pieces and take out the treasures inside… I have also invited Void Glimpse Stage experts to try to open the divine chests. Unfortunately, all of them returned with failure…”
Venerated Pill’s words made Ning Fan silent again.
The so-called divine chests were just stones that contained treasures. As long as one could cut open the body of the bluestones, they could obtain the secret treasures. However, cutting the bluestones wasn’t an easy task.
Ning Fan slowly walked toward the first bluestone. After that, he placed his finger at his glabella to summon his Separation Slayer Sword while gathering his essence qi in his arm.
“Separation Slayer Sword – Strength!”
He lifted his hand and delivered a mighty slash at the first bluestone.
The style of his sword attack was simple. Although it might seem plain and unremarkable, the tremendous force it drew could even severely injure a Void Inquiry Stage old monster.
“What a powerful sword technique!” Venerated Pill’s eyes were filled with astonishment. If he were the one who received this attack, he would have died for sure! Ning Fan’s strength far exceeded Venerated Pill’s expectations!
Seeing Ning Fan’s powerful attack, he could not help but wear a hopeful look on his face, hoping that Ning Fan would be able to break the body of the bluestone.
*Bang*
The first bluestone took the sword attack head-on, completely absorbing Ning Fan’s terrifying strength that could move mountains and fill up seas.
The jade white platform beneath the bluestone was pulverized by the force behind his sword attack, making the bluestone fall to the ground.
Even so, the sword only left a scar as fine as a strand of hair on the divine chest. In the next second, however, the rune on the surface of the stone glowed and the scar disappeared, making the divine chest look as good as new.
The massive force behind Ning Fan’s attack caused the entire Purple Qi Palace to tremble violently. It shocked all the cultivators who were guarding the palace. None of them dared to enter the palace to find out what had happened.
After seeing that his sword attack could not even cut open the bluestone, Ning Fan could not help but frown and said.
“It’s indeed very tough.”
Even an unrivalled Void Inquiry Stage attack was only able to leave a hair-like sword mark on the stone.
Based on Ning Fan’s calculation, even a Void Fragmentation Realm old monster might not necessarily be able to break the body of this bluestone using their attacks.
Moreover, even if a person could break the shell of the divine chests by force, the secret treasures within would probably be affected or destroyed as well.
Ning Fan gradually realized that breaking the bluestone forcefully was not the true method of opening the divine chest.
“Even that terrifying sword attack of yours could still not open the bronze grade divine chests…”
Venerated Dan wore a disappointed look and heaved a long sigh. However, he suddenly held his breath and noticed that Ning Fan was trying to do something else.
After his fruitless attempt, Ning Fan kept his Separation Slayer Sword and stood in silence. Moments later, he opened his mouth and spat out columns of black devil flames. The flames enveloped the bluestones, forcefully heating up the stone.
Venerated Pill’s eyes sparkled. The grade of the devil flames was beyond his imagination.
What a powerful flame!
However, what filled him with disappointment again was that even such powerful flames could still not destroy the bluestone.
The stone that was covering the treasures was not only invulnerable to swords and blades but also invincible to flames and water.
“*Sigh* It seems like even Fellow Daoist can’t also break the bronze grade divine chests apart…” Venerated Pill sighed once more.
Ning Fan was not bothered by Venerated Pill’s dejected sigh. He withdrew his devil flames and quietly stood beside the bluestone all alone.
In his first attempt, the reason why he used his sword attack was merely to break the divine chest open. In his second attempt, however, he used the devil flames just to test out the durability of the bluestones.
Ning Fan did not think that his devil flames could burn down the bluestone. After trying it out with the flames, he stared at the bluestone deep in thought.
Even though the destructive power of his devil flames was extraordinary, it could only leave some burnt marks on the bluestone without being able to destroy it.
When that green rune glowed, it seemed like some kind of power flowed throughout the stone, mending all the damaged areas on the stone.
Looking at the magical healing effect of the bluestone, Ning Fan seemed to have discovered something. The reason why the bluestone could not be cut open was not because of how tough the bluestone’s body was but because of the extremely powerful rune on the stone.
When he touched the glowing rune with his finger, the rune dimmed down in an instant and returned to its original state.
However, Ning Fan could hear a strange voice of the Great Dao from the rune. It was the source of power preventing the bluestone from being destroyed.
The rune was doubtedlessly created using the ancient divine race’s divine techniques.
“There is actually a Dao voice in the divine techniques of the ancient divine race… Could this Dao voice be the reason why the divine race was so powerful in the past…?”
“Dao voice… Dao Force… Does this mean that I need to use the force of the Great Dao in order to break this divine chest open?”
A new insight struck Ning Fan but he could not comprehend it completely.
Seeing that Ning Fan failed to break the first divine chest despite having tried two consecutive times, Venerated Pill was already on the verge of giving up. Trying to console Ning Fan on his failed attempts, he said.
“The toughness of the divine chests is far beyond my imagination. It seems like even Fellow Daoist is incapable of opening the divine chests… Anyway, it’s fine. You don’t have to try anymore. I already know the result.”
“Fellow Daoist Dan, don’t give up so fast. You know what they say, sincerity and persistence split open rocks and metal.”
Ning Fan’s eyes became as deep as the ocean. He had already figured out the way to open the divine chests.
The power of his Memory Intent rose and surrounded his body like black goose feather snow.
When Ning Fan clawed with his five fingers, all the black snow gathered at the center of his palm, condensing into a dark golden dagger which was as cold as ice.
The dagger was just a chi* (30.7cm per chi) long. It gave out a perfectly coordinated sword light that showed no weakness. Its power was close to the Dao[2].
As Ning Fan brandished that dagger and made a cut at the bluestone, it smoothly sliced off a thin piece off of it.
Venerated Pill was stunned.
The extreme toughness of that bluestone could even withstand Ning Fan’s full-powered attack. Why couldn’t it withstand a gentle cut from the dark golden dagger?
He observed that dagger carefully. Suddenly, he looked like he had seen something surprising and exclaimed.
“This is… Dao Armament!”
Dao Armament was an armament of Great Dao that only cultivators whose intent realm cultivation had reached the Second Step could condense using their intent realm power.
The bluestone on the divine chest could withstand magic attacks but it might not necessarily be able to withstand a cut of the Great Dao.
This dark golden dagger was none other than Ning Fan’s Dao Armament – Memory Severing Dao Sword.
After discovering that his Memory Severing Dao Sword could cut open the divine chest, Ning Fan guessed inwardly.
Could it be that the correct method of opening a divine chest in ancient times is by peeling off the layer of stone using a Dao Armament?
While his mind was deep in thought, the movement of his hands did not cease. A short moment later, the layer of stone enveloping the first divine chest was completely peeled off.
The edge of a wooden box was partly exposed under the thick stone marks. It was made out of purple sandalwood.
Ning Fan then cut the bluestone following the edge of the wooden box. The surface of the box was slightly damaged by his sword but eventually, he still managed to take out the wooden box in good condition.
Afterward, he continued cutting the stone, taking out an exquisite clay jar. He did not find anything else from within the bluestone other than these two items.
Looking at the wooden box and the clay jug, Venerated Pill’s breathing started to become faster. He turned to Ning Fan and said with an excited tone.
“Quick! Let’s find out what treasures these two items are!”
From Venerated Pill’s perspective, the items stored inside a divine chest must be special items.
Ning Fan opened the wooden box while Venerated Pill opened the clay jug. At the same time, both of them wore a confused look.
The clay jug contained a pile of bone ash.
As for the wooden box, it contained a wooden tablet made out of sandalwood. It looked to be the nameplate which served as a cultivator’s proof of identity in a sect. What made Venerated Pill feel helpless was that the name of the cultivator and the sect were written in ancient seal script which he did not know.
“I didn’t expect for the first divine chest to actually have the nameplate and bone ash of an ancient cultivator… How unlucky!” Venerated Pill felt extremely upset. A jar full of bone ash and a nameplate did not have any value at all.
Ning Fan also felt a little disappointed. However, when his eyes scanned past the nameplate, a jolt ran across his body.
“Divine Seal Writing!?”
Venerated Pill did not recognize this ancient writing but Ning Fan who was more knowledgeable in writing knew it.
There were only five characters written on the nameplate.
Shedding Orchid Sect, Wei Yang…
Apparently, the owner of the bone ash was once a disciple of an ancient sect called the Shedding Orchid Sect and his name was Wei Yang.
About the Shedding Orchid Sect, it wasn’t strange that Ning Fan had never heard of it.
“Fellow Daoist, please continue cutting the second divine chest! I don’t believe that the second divine chest is also just a jar full of bone ash…” Venerated Pill urged.
“Alright.”
Ning Fan nodded. He was prepared to equally share the treasures of the divine chests with Venerated Pill. Thus, he certainly also hoped to get something good out of the divine chests instead of just a jar of bone ash.
He wielded his Memory Severing Dao Sword again and carefully peeled the stone layer of the second divine chest.
Inside this divine chest, there was a thumb ring used for storing items and a variety of things which consisted of a pill cauldron, Dao Crystals, pills, pill recipes, ancient scriptures and a palm-leaf fan that had purple flames circling around it.
Inside the thumb ring, there were only forty-two tufts of spiritual herbs but all of them were one hundred thousand years old!
Even though it was rare to find a thumb ring that could be used for storing items, it was worthless. The one hundred thousand years old spiritual herbs inside the ring, however, filled Venerated Pill’s eyes with excitement.
But when he inspected those spiritual herbs, he realized that all of them had actually been contaminated by devil qi, making them unsuitable for consumption or pill refinement… This discovery greatly vexed him.
As for the pill recipes and ancient scriptures, all of them were written in Divine Seal Writing. Venerated Pill did not know a single character. Thus, all of them were useless to him.
There were also two hundred Dao Crystals. This amount of Dao Crystals was equivalent to one billion immortal jade but money could not arouse Venerated Pill’s interest either.
The pill cauldron, Sixth Revolution Pills and the palm-leaf fan, on the other hand, made Venerated Pill smile with his brows raised in delight. Obviously, he was pretty satisfied with these items.
“This pill cauldron is a ‘divine cauldron’ that only ancient divine pill refinement masters would use. It’s much more impressive than the pill cauldrons condensed from common intent realm power. This palm-leaf fan is a Low Grade Mortal Void Treasure. Even though its grade isn’t very high, fanning the flames using this palm-leaf fan during pill refinement can slightly increase the quality of the flames. These two magic treasures are items that only existed in ancient times. It’s beyond my expectations for me to have the chance to see them. This really is… *Cough* There are even twelve Sixth Revolution Pills here. These pills, however, aren’t that precious… Fellow Daoist, how should we share these items equally?”
Venerated Pill only considered the pill cauldron, palm-leaf fan and the Sixth Revolution Pills into the list of items for distribution. The other items were useless to him. Thus, he did not care much about them.
What Venerated Pill meant was that he had the intention of taking the pill cauldron and the palm-leaf fan.
To Ning Fan, those two items were something of little value like chicken ribs. He wanted to take the Sixth Revolution Pills but they weren’t something extremely necessary to him.
In stark contrast, the pill recipes, the ancient scripture and the contaminated spiritual herbs which Venerated Pill did not want were what caught Ning Fan’s interest.
Ming Que had the ability to purify pills. Who knows if she could purify one hundred thousand years old spiritual herbs as well? If she could, Ning Fan would then have enough spiritual herbs to awaken Luo You in one go and have a Void Fragmentation Realm expert by his side!
The pill recipes and ancient scriptures were all in Divine Seal Writing. Venerated Pill could not read the ancient writing but Ning Fan could. If he took the scriptures, it was unknown what kind of information he would obtain from them…
“Fellow Daoist seems to have taken a liking to the pill cauldron and palm-leaf fan… A gentleman always helps fulfill other’s cherished hopes but not their evil plans… Let’s do it this way. You take the pill cauldron and the palm-leaf fan while I take the pills and the other items. What do you think?” Ning Fan suggested with a smile.
“Are you sure?!” Venerated Pill’s expression was filled with surprise.
If he could obtain the two pill refinement magic treasures that were used by ancient pill refinement masters, perhaps he could comprehend the great Dao of Alchemy that the ancient cultivators walked. To him, these two treasures were related to his Dao of Alchemy. Thus, they were much more precious than any other items.
He was worried that Ning Fan would take these treasures. Thus, after hearing that Ning Fan wanted to distribute the items according to what he wanted, he could not help but feel extremely grateful.
“Fellow Daoist sure is a big-hearted person!”
“Is that so…?” Ning Fan wore a faint smile. The saying which goes, ‘each takes what he needs and be happy’ was the best description for this situation.
“Fellow Daoist, if you don’t mind, you might as well open the third divine chest to see what treasures it contains” Venerated Dan said with excitement.
“Mm.”
Ning Fan wielded his Memory Severing Dao Sword, beginning to peel off the stone layer of the third divine chest.
This time, however, he felt a mild sense of unease. He did not have this feeling while he was cutting the first two divine chests.
“What exactly is inside this divine chest…?”
Ning Fan hesitated for a while. Then, he decided to cut the third divine chest from the bottom to the top.
When he had peeled off one quarter of the stone layer, a beast hoof was actually revealed from the gigantic rock.
Just as it was exposed to the air, the hoof trembled gently. Apparently, it was still alive.
“This is bad. What the third divine chest preserved is an ancient living creature! Judging from this qi, it is at the Void Inquiry Stage!” Venerated Pill suddenly warned loudly. He did not expect that the divine chest would actually contain such a powerful living creature.
As the saying goes, there is danger in the divine chests. One has to be careful when cutting the stones. The old saying really was true. If they let out a Void Fragmentation Realm living creature, wouldn’t all of them be done for?
*Roar*
A beast roar echoed from the third divine chest.
As the beast hoof made a stomp, the rest of the stone layer was broken into pieces from the inside, exposing the massive body of that ancient living creature which was also growing rapidly at the same time.
It was a strange half-man, half-horse creature. Both of its hands held a bronze bow and arrow. The moment it revealed itself, it glared at Ning Fan and Venerated Pill with its blood-red eyes and shot a green arrow at each of them.
The power of that green flying arrow was equivalent to a Void Inquiry Stage attack. Its destructive power was significant.
Venerated Pill who was already panicking was suddenly attacked by that strange creature. His expression changed greatly when he was faced with a Void Inquiry Stage attack. He hurriedly used his Soul Transforming Dragon Technique to withstand that Void Inquiry Stage arrow with all his might. However, how could he withstand such a powerful attack?
The arrow penetrated right through his body, making him cough out mouthfuls of blood. That attack had already severely injured him. There was no way he could withstand an arrow from that beast.
In desperation, he yelled, “Revered Ming, save me!”
However, as soon as his voice fell, the remaining force of the arrow struck him, directly knocking him unconscious.
In his mind, only Ning Fan had the strength to withstand this Void Inquiry Stage beast. As he had already passed out, the rest could only depend on Ning Fan.
Faced with the Void Inquiry Stage arrow, Ning Fan undoubtedly would not be as battered as Venerated Pill. By just casually flicking his sleeve, he produced a massive rush of essence qi which literally crushed the Void Inquiry Stage arrow into powder.
Then, he coldly stared at that beast and took out a golden handheld furnace.
As he made a hand seal, the small handheld furnace gave off faint golden halos of spirit wheels. Their power was immeasurable.
When the faint golden halos struck the beast, it could not defend itself against them at all despite having a frightening Void Inquiry Stage cultivation base. After wailing in pain several times, it let out an angry roar.
“Those who seize the Shedding Orchid Key… shall die!”
In the next moment, it actually wanted to detonate itself. Its body began to convulse and exploded into waves of raging flames.
Ning Fan quickly summoned his Primordial Lightning Armor to block the force of the explosion from the beast.
The light from the explosion gradually diminished. After some time, there were only countless chunks of meat and a bronze key at the spot where the beast stood earlier.
Ning Fan picked up the key. The bronze key was carved with the mark of the Great Dao. It looked quite extraordinary but Ning Fan had no idea where this key was for.
“What is a… Shedding Orchid Key…?”
Ning Fan kept the key. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned a gust of wind, trying to save the unconscious Venerated Pill using his magic technique.
“*Cough*… I didn’t expect that the third divine chest would actually have an ancient living creature. It’s truly terrifying… Er… Where is the beast?”
While sighing with emotion, Venerated Dan was looking around his surroundings.
When he saw the scattered meat chunks on the ground, his face was filled with awe.
“Fellow Daoist has actually killed that Void Inquiry Stage creature!?” Venerated Pill found it extremely unbelievable.
“It’s merely an evil creature that has just reached the Void Inquiry Stage.” Ning Fan replied with a neutral expression.
It was not his first time killing a Void Inquiry Stage expert. Moreover, he had even killed a Void Pierce Stage ancient demon before. This strange creature had just attained the standard of the Void Inquiry Stage. Thus, it was not very strong. If Su Yan were to handle it, she could also eliminate it easily.
“‘Merely’ an evil creature that has just reached the Void Inquiry Stage…” Venerated Pill immediately looked at Ning Fan like he was looking at a monster.
Well, that beast could only blame its luck for encountering Ning Fan…
Venerated Pill was completely unaware that Ning Fan had also obtained a bronze key after killing the beast.
At this moment, he was looking at Ning Fan with eyes full of gratitude. If it wasn’t for Ning Fan, he would have died in the hands of that beast for sure.
“Thank you for saving my life, Fellow Daoist. I will never forget your kindness!” Venerated Pill gratefully said.
