Chapter 706: First Color of Immortal Luck
"This beast, no one should even think of taking it from me!"
The short old man leaped into the air, acting with extreme dominance.
His hands were like withered bones, striking like lightning, and in an instant, he unleashed three palm strikes towards the three Fate Immortals.
The three Fate Immortals were all strong cultivators at the Human Profound Initial Stage, figures who held sway over a region. Seeing the short old man’s domineering behavior, they were all furious.
Just as the expressions of anger appeared on their faces, upon realizing the three blood handprints shooting towards them, each of them broke out in a cold sweat.
"The Bloody Sky Palm Seal! You’re Xuekongzi!"
Without hesitation, the three of them took out their immortal treasures for protection, but the protective treasures were instantly shattered by the dominating blood palm prints!
All three felt a pain in their chests and were heavily slammed into the ground. Although they weren’t severely injured, their breath was disrupted for a while.
The impact of the three Fate Immortals hitting the ground caused the entire Shaoze Star to tremble slightly...
"Xuekongzi! This is Shaoze Star, not a place for your antics!"
Master Yun and the other two Shaoze Star Fate Immortals stepped forward, each casting a solemn gaze upon the short elder.
This short old man was named Xuekongzi, a major evil figure in the Eastern Heaven Immortal World, responsible for numerous deaths, with a bounty of twenty billion Dao Crystals on his head.
Although he was at the Human Profound Middle Stage, he was only half a step away from breaking through to the Human Profound Advanced Stage.
He had the lives of over ten old monsters of the Fate Immortal Realm to his name!
He was definitely a ruthless character! Even some old monsters at the Human Profound Advanced Stage would be extremely wary upon seeing him, unwilling to get entangled with him.
Among the Fate Immortals present, there were only two at the Human Profound Advanced Stage.
These two were not Shaoze Star Fate Immortals and had no desire to involve themselves in Xuekongzi’s affair.
The Fate Immortal surnamed Wei instantly took Ouyang Nuan under his protection, his gaze extremely serious.
He was at the Human Profound Middle Stage, and even with his Dao Weapon, he was still no match for Xuekongzi.
"Rest assured! I was just passing by the Sky-Grade Trading City, and upon finding a True Spirit Blood Goose here, I got a little excited and came to join the fun with no intent to kill. I’m in a very good mood today; there will be no killing."
Xuekongzi laughed heartily while watching the True Spirit Blood Goose, which was ready to take flight, and licked his lips.
"Little one, this old man has wanted a Blood Goose True Spirit for a long time. Do you want to come with me?"
The voice carried an enticing power.
Xuekongzi’s eyes flashed blood red, with rays of red light shooting like thunder towards the True Spirit Blood Goose.
"Realm of the Utmost Conception!" Ning Fan’s eyes flickered. The absolute realm is a power that comes from the lightning tribulation, extremely formidable.
The Bone Emperor has this power, and unexpectedly, so does Xuekongzi.
Moreover, Xuekongzi’s power of the absolute realm evidently surpassed the Bone Emperor’s by thousands of times.
The Blood Goose, upon sensing Xuekongzi’s absolute realm strength, immediately trembled all over, not daring to resist further.
Xuekongzi nodded in satisfaction, withdrew the absolute realm red thunder, and took out a Beast Taming Ring, directly placing it around the Blood Goose’s neck, then sat on it.
"Get bigger!" commanded Xuekongzi.
"Gak gak..." The Blood Goose obediently murmured a few times, flew up to the sky, and transformed into a massive size of fifty thousand zhang.
All the cultivators in the Sky-Grade Trading City who saw the gigantic Blood Goose in the sky gasped in shock.
"A Fate Immortal-level demonic beast!"
Xuekongzi nodded in satisfaction again, glanced down at the crowd below, and looked towards Ning Fan, surprisingly clasping his fists in greeting.
"My friend Qianqiu, this old man is truly grateful to you! If not for you revealing the True Spirit Blood Goose, this old man wouldn’t know when I would find such a mount. Honestly, I’m not a good person, but I’ve always paid back my favors! You helped me find the True Spirit Blood Goose; I owe you one!"
"When this old man arrived at this star, I saw the Seven Sha Sect Master in a lower-level star domain, leading people to find you and kill you. Haha, I have the True Spirit Blood Goose now and plan to leave Shaoze Star. On my way back, I’ll deal with some troubles for you!"
Xuekongzi laughed heartily, then his body flickered, transforming into a streak of blood light, flying out of Shaoze Star.
In doing so, he truly did take a stance for Ning Fan. It was said he exterminated all the strong members sent by the Seven Sha Sect and severely injured the Seven Sha Sect Master of the Human Profound Middle Stage, forcing him to retreat to the Seven Sha Sect for healing in seclusion.
But that’s a story for later.
Ning Fan watched Xuekongzi’s departing escape light, then looked at the Dao Crystals in his hand with a pondering expression.
So the Seven Sha Sect Master actually came to seek revenge on him...
This Xuekongzi seems frank, but who knows if he is truly such a straightforward person.
He said he would help deal with troubles, was he going to handle the Seven Sha Sect?
Or was he going to inform the Seven Sha Sect of his whereabouts?
Having just met Xuekongzi, Ning Fan couldn’t possibly trust him.
Fortunately, regardless of Xuekongzi’s intentions, Ning Fan feared him not.
Nor did he fear whether the Seven Sha Sect Master pursued him or not.
With a Black Demon Escape Technique, he could escape honorably, unafraid of any Fate Immortal chasing after him.
Of course, if Xuekongzi truly stood up for him and dealt with the Seven Sha Sect, Ning Fan would remember that favor well.
Putting away the two billion Dao Crystals, Ning Fan glanced at the expressions of the assembled Fate Immortals, deep in thought.
The Fate Immortals here already believed he had poor fortune but astonishing abilities, capable of discerning the superior from the inferior in Beast Treasuries.
Some Fate Immortals continued to wait for him to reveal powerful demonic beasts for purchase.
Yet Master Yun and the other Shaoze Star Fate Immortals gazed at him with complex expressions.
They wanted to see him reveal more from the Beast Treasury, yet feared he would take away all the good things, causing them heartache.
Ning Fan fell silent.
Xuekongzi’s path was extreme, employing any means necessary.
The path of fortune, too, involves extreme changes.
Excess leads to the opposite, excess leads to the opposite... Ning Fan pondered this principle earnestly.
If he continued revealing valuable demonic mounts, he might offend the three Shaoze Star Fate Immortals.
He wanted to participate in the auction and did not wish to incur more trouble.
After some thought, Ning Fan, holding a small black-gold sword, purchased 21 more Beast Treasuries.
He only revealed two, both True Spirit mounts, sold them to two Fate Immortals, earning another two billion Dao Crystals.
The remaining 19 Beast Treasuries were given to the three True Immortals of Shaoze Star.
Ning Fan didn’t say much, but the old monsters present were all deeply scheming individuals, knowing Ning Fan’s intent.
No need to ask; the demonic and devil beasts hidden in those 19 Beast Treasuries must be precious.
Ning Fan bought them without taking them, gifting them to the three from Master Yun’s group, merely a gesture of offering a flower to Buddha.
Master Yun and the other two gazed at Ning Fan with amiable smiles instantly.
After bidding farewell to Ouyang Nuan, Ning Fan left the Immortal Luck Gambling House, found a place to settle in a small palace, and went into seclusion.
Excess leads to the opposite, and crossing the limit may result in having no life left to carry these Dao Crystals out from Shaoze Star.
After visiting the Immortal Luck Gambling House, Ning Fan already had four billion and two hundred million Dao Crystals.
With such funds, obtaining the Inlaid Star Compass of the Ancient Chen Star Domain at the auction wouldn’t be challenging.
He only needed to wait a year for the auction to begin...
Inside the small palace, Ning Fan dismissed all the serving female cultivators, transformed in a flash, and entered the Xuan Yin Treasure Realm.
The empty thatched cottage always reminded Ning Fan of a woman who had already left.
A slight yearning arose in his heart, only to be hidden by Ning Fan again.
He didn’t come here today to reminisce, but to reveal the Medicine Treasury.
Ouyang Nuan helped him conceal excellently, leaving the Spiritual Medicine within the six Medicine Treasuries undiscovered.
Without exposure, countless troubles were avoided.
Ning Fan was very curious about what Spiritual Medicine could be sealed within these six Medicine Treasuries that even made Ouyang Nuan’s face appear solemn.
It was only when the Three-Thousand-Year Pan Peach Tree was revealed that Ouyang Nuan still seemed indifferent.
However, it’s worth knowing that the market price of a single Three-Thousand-Year Pan Peach is five billion Dao Crystals...
With dozens of Pan Peaches on one tree, Ouyang Nuan was completely unconcerned. Was she really wealthy, or did she simply have no concept of money...
To think, the dignified sect leader of the Black Evil Sect, an old monster at the True Immortal realm, was actually concerned about ten billion Dao Crystals, leaving Ning Fan speechless.
Thinking about it carefully, only an old monster would worry about such trivial matters.
Those who appear stingiest are actually the ones with the broadest minds, always forgiving their betraying disciples...
Speaking of which, these years have passed, and the Bright Sparrow should have returned to the Immemorial Dark Sparrow clan by now, right?
With her king blood aptitude, after awakening her blood three times, she would likely be an ancestral-level demon ancestor.
After awakening her blood, perhaps that little girl is already at the Life Immortal Realm.
After one hundred years, a few thousand years, facing that little girl, he could only look on in awe.
"I must strive harder to improve my cultivation..."
Ning Fan put aside his random thoughts, flipped his hand to gather Dao force, forming the Memory Severing Dao Sword.
Taking out one Medicine Treasury, he carefully cut away the stone layer.
Gradually, a golden apple appeared before his eyes.
Ning Fan’s gaze shook; he had heard of this fruit!
This fruit is known as the Golden Spirit Fruit, once growing in the Heavenly Court!
Before the fall of the Heavenly Court, it was said that the ancient heavenly gods often consumed Golden Spirit Fruits for body refinement.
The medicinal power of one Golden Spirit Fruit was enough to make the body refinement realm of a Nirvana Master soar by one heavy heaven!
The value of one Golden Spirit Fruit is equivalent to one Feather Ascension Pill!
This fruit is more precious than the Feather Ascension Pill because the ancient Heavenly Court has perished, making this fruit extinct, essentially a priceless and rare item!
"This fruit is excellent!"
Ning Fan was not in a hurry to open the other five Medicine Treasuries; instead, he patiently swallowed the Golden Spirit Fruit and slowly refined it.
He stimulated the Ancestral Talisman Crushing Technique, using it to devour the Golden Spirit Fruit, speeding up the process significantly.
In the Mysterious Yin World, after a month passed, Ning Fan suddenly opened his eyes, emitting golden light.
He suddenly stood up, surrounded by ancient devil energy.
His Ancient Devil Blood Wine cultivation reached the Supreme Demon Third Heaven!
After regulating his breathing for several days, Ning Fan proceeded to cut the second Medicine Treasury.
Unveiling the layers of stone, a purple gourd came into view.
On the gourd, purple light swirled heavily.
Ning Fan showed a confused expression, unable to recognize what kind of Spiritual Medicine this gourd was.
He wanted to pick up the gourd for a closer look, but found that this gourd was as heavy as a mountain, unable to be lifted!
Despite having a physique at the Supreme Demon Third Heaven, he couldn’t pick up a gourd!
Every strand of purple light on the gourd was as heavy as a mountain!
"These purple lights are innate energy! This gourd is an innate Spiritual Object!"
Ning Fan’s eyes shook violently; innate Spiritual Objects are materials for crafting innate treasures.
Innate treasures also have another name; that is, the token of an immortal emperor!
Immortal treasures are not as abundant as other magical treasures; even an Immortal Emperor might possess only two or three innate treasures.
The rarity of such treasures is evident.
If this gourd were revealed publicly, it would immediately cause a sensation, even attracting an Immortal Emperor to seize the gourd for treasure refinement.
Ning Fan smiled wryly; perhaps Ouyang Nuan protected him to prevent people from knowing about this purple gourd?
Since the gourd couldn’t be picked up, it was just left in the Mysterious Yin World.
If someday he had the qualification to refine innate treasures, he would use this gourd.
Ning Fan pointed a finger downward, the soil beneath the gourd surged up, lifting the gourd.
In an instant, a huge gourd mountain appeared before Ning Fan, with the purple gourd atop the mountain.
After placing the purple gourd, Ning Fan went to another location, took out the third Medicine Treasury, and gradually cut away the stone layer.
Sealed within the third Medicine Treasury was a Verdant Spirit Ganoderma-like million-year-old spiritual herb, surrounded by green light.
Ning Fan did not recognize this herb, so he decided to call it Verdant Spirit Ganoderma.
Ning Fan held the Verdant Spirit Ganoderma silently.
A million-year-old spiritual herb, with extremely powerful medicinal properties, if a cultivator’s body can withstand the medicinal power, they can directly consume it to achieve immortality.
Unfortunately, Ning Fan admitted his body wasn’t strong enough to handle it.
Even the Bright Sparrow would need to cultivate to the Fracture Eighth or crushing the nine level before daring to swallow such a spiritual herb by relying on the demon body.
This herb is temporarily useless, but if Ning Fan consumes it upon becoming immortal, it will undoubtedly increase his mana, breaking through the barriers of the Human Profound realm!
"Save it for consumption upon becoming immortal!"
Ning Fan decided, sealing the Verdant Spirit Ganoderma into a jade box.
Then he took out the fourth Medicine Treasury, wielding the Memory Severing Dao Sword again, gradually cutting away the stone layer.
The fourth Spiritual Medicine was also a million-year-old herb, shaped like ginseng with small wings, surrounded by bloody light.
"Uh... I don’t recognize this herb either, let’s call it Blood-winged Ginseng, save it for consumption upon becoming immortal."
The Blood-winged Ginseng was similarly sealed and stored by Ning Fan.
After consecutively unveiling two million-year-old herbs, Ning Fan couldn’t recognize a single one.
He had to admit he should learn to identify ancient medicines properly.
Perhaps going to the Medicine Sect to learn dan refinement would be a good choice, but Ning Fan currently had no leisure for such pursuits.
His goal was to travel to the Ancient Chen Star Domain to seek the Immortal Soul Grass.
Taking out the fifth Medicine Treasury, Ning Fan carefully cut it open, revealing an eye-catching Pan Peach Tree, a dead Pan Peach Tree.
Although this tree has died, it still bore two fragrant Pan Peaches!
These were neither Three-Thousand-Year Pan Peaches nor Six-Thousand-Year Pan Peaches but... Nine-Thousand-Year Pan Peaches!
A Three-Thousand-Year Pan Peach can help a Life Immortal delay major or minor lightning tribulations for three thousand years.
A Six-Thousand-Year Pan Peach can help a True Immortal delay lightning tribulations for six thousand years.
A Nine-Thousand-Year Pan Peach can help an Immortal Venerable, Immortal King, or Immortal Emperor delay lightning tribulations for nine thousand years!
Ning Fan got only a dead Pan Peach Tree, unable to grow new Pan Peaches.
But just two Nine-Thousand-Year Pan Peaches were enough to draw attention from True Immortals or Immortal Emperors!
"Innate Purple Gourd, Nine-Thousand-Year Pan Peach... If these items were seen, I’d never be able to protect them..."
Ning Fan sighed lightly.
If Ouyang Nuan hadn’t identified the items within the Medicine Treasuries, he would’ve faced a great calamity...
Good fortune might instead attract a great calamity...
Poor luck, going there might save your life...
If mortals die, they can still reincarnate.
But when an immortal dies, it’s eternal...
Ning Fan remained silent for a long time, and finally took out the sixth Medicine Treasury.
As he removed the outer layer of stone bit by bit, what appeared before Ning Fan’s eyes was a fruit emitting a nine-colored radiance, only the size of a dragon eye, yet possessing the power to entice heavenly fate.
Ning Fan gazed at this Nine-Colored Dragon Eye, as if seeing something unbelievable.
No, that’s not right!
What Ouyang Nuan wanted to help him hide wasn’t the Innate Purple Gourd, nor the Nine Thousand-Year Pan Peach!
Those two items, even if discovered, Ning Fan at most wouldn’t be able to keep them, but if he obediently handed them over, he wouldn’t necessarily die.
But once this item appeared, countless Immortal Emperors would scramble for it!
At that time, who knows how many star domains would be drenched in blood!
The origin of this Nine-Colored Dragon Eye is significant, and any Alchemist above the sixth revolution would have heard of this rare treasure.
This fruit is called the Heavenly Destiny Fruit, growing on the Heavenly Destiny Tree. This tree is born of fate and is an ancient miraculous tree.
Legend has it that this fruit can greatly enhance a cultivator’s elusive fortune.
In the end, cultivation often depends not on aptitude, but more importantly on fortune.
In ancient times, many Immortal Emperors were not extraordinarily talented, and even many with mediocre aptitudes also ascended step by step to the Immortal Emperor Realm.
But rarely are Immortal Emperors people with extremely poor fortune; most Immortal Emperors have seven-colored fortune.
For those with extremely poor fortune, opportunities are nearly nonexistent. Without opportunities, it is difficult to reach that legendary realm.
Of course, there are also those with extremely poor fortune who forcibly became Immortal Emperors.
Fortune is not omnipotent, but it is indeed important.
Ning Fan held the Heavenly Destiny Fruit in his palm, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
Aptitude, heart, effort, fortune, destiny... there are so many factors that determine a cultivator’s achievements.
To stand at the pinnacle of ten billion worlds like the Purple Dou Immortal Sovereign, it’s not something that can be achieved just by saying ’I will work harder than anyone else’.
Nobody can compare to the Purple Dou; his aptitude, heart, fortune, and destiny are unparalleled.
Precisely because of this, after exerting himself, he stood atop all living beings.
"Fortune, huh..."
Suddenly, Ning Fan opened his eyes, a bright light shining, and swallowed the Heavenly Destiny Fruit in one gulp, sitting cross-legged on the ground, rapidly refining the power of the fruit.
Gradually, threads of fortune light rose from his body.
Clearly black in fortune light, under the manipulation of Ning Fan’s thoughts, it temporarily revealed its true color, purple.
And that purple fortune gradually ascended into the sky, forming a massive purple umbrella!
The Fortune Umbrella!
The First Color of Immortal Luck!
Just one Heavenly Destiny Fruit elevated Ning Fan’s fortune from the ordinary to the immortal level!
Above the entire Shaoze Star, emerged a gigantic shadow of a purple fortune umbrella!
Countless cultivators looked up to the sky, most with bewildered expressions, but only those Fate Immortals and a few old monsters of the Void Fragmentation realm knew what this umbrella shadow represented!
"Someone on my Shaoze Star has condensed a Fortune Umbrella, breaking through the first color of Immortal Luck!"
"Who is this person!"
"Among the Fate Immortals, few can condense a Fortune Umbrella; only when reaching the True Immortal Realm do some gradually form a Fortune Umbrella... Could it be that a True Immortal senior is secluded on my Shaoze Star, cultivating fortune techniques!"
In an instant, all the Fate Immortals exchanged looks of horror, but dared not inquire about the identity of that True Immortal senior.
Are you kidding! Since they are secluded in this place, they naturally don’t want their identity known.
Knowing full well they don’t want it, yet still investigating, isn’t that just courting misfortune!
Though they feared investigating, Master Yun and the others were extremely cautious in issuing a secret order.
From now on, cultivators on Shaoze Star were forbidden from offending those who seemed ordinary and unassuming.
The more ordinary and unassuming they appear, the more likely they are to be true immortal old monsters.
After all, a true immortal wouldn’t let you see how powerful they are, would they? The word ’powerful’ isn’t written on their face.
On Shaoze Star, only one person knew who condensed that Fortune Umbrella shadow.
In her boudoir, Ouyang Nuan, upon hearing the countless exclamations on Shaoze Star, immediately covered her wet hair with a towel, wrapped herself in a towel, went to the window, and gazed at the vast starry sky with a gentle smile.
A fluffy little Maoqiu then timely burrowed into her embrace, nuzzling against her continuously.
Fortunately, it’s a female...
Otherwise, this beast would definitely be swatted away by Ouyang Nuan, as she disliked all male animals.
"Little Ning Ball, look quickly, isn’t that umbrella shadow beautiful? Remember, that’s the Fortune Umbrella your father condensed..."
In Ouyang Nuan’s eyes, there was only laughter, with no hint of affection.
She merely had a good impression of Ning Fan, like a friend’s level of fondness.
Her words were merely jokes between friends.
If Ning Fan knew that Ouyang Nuan gave him a little fuzzy daughter, he would probably be at a loss for words.
...
Outside, a year passed.
The uproar over the Fortune Umbrella had long since subsided.
In the Xuan Yin Treasure, Ning Fan exhaled a turbid breath, slowly standing up, brushing off the dust.
With a thought, he once again concealed his fortune as black.
He opened his palm, and with another thought, a purple umbrella-shaped mark slowly emerged in the palm of his left hand.
Ning Fan had never learned fortune cultivation techniques, so he naturally didn’t know that when ordinary fortune is cultivated to the extreme, it transforms into Immortal Luck.
However, he was certain that his current fortune had transcended the ordinary, reaching the level of Immortal Luck.
"Immortal Luck, huh... not bad. The auction is about to start soon..."
Ning Fan shook his body, left the Xuan Yin Treasure, summoned the maids, and casually inquired about some news.
According to the maids, the auction would start in seven days.
According to the maids, there’s currently a True Immortal old monster hiding on Shaoze Star, cultivating fortune techniques, and condensing a Fortune Umbrella.
According to the maids, about a year ago, a Seven Fiends Sect cultivator on Shaoze Star Domain was ambushed by a master, and apart from the Seven Sha Sect Master who escaped heavily injured, all other masters perished...
It’s said that the master who attacked the Seven Fiends Sect rode a blood-colored giant bird...
The first piece of news was useful to Ning Fan.
The second piece of news Ning Fan could completely ignore, as he was that ’mysterious True Immortal’.
As for the third piece of news...
Ning Fan could almost confirm that the one who ambushed the Seven Fiends Sect was none other than Xuekongzi, who promised to return the favor a year ago.
It seems that Xuekongzi is indeed a straightforward person, as he genuinely helped him resolve the Seven Fiends Sect’s troubles.
If there is a chance in the future, he should return a favor to him.
Seven days later, the auction began.
Ning Fan’s figure flickered as he flew towards the Golden Palace in the sky.
Before entering the auction house, the guards outside the palace respectfully clasped their fists towards Ning Fan.
"Senior, are you the Thousand Autumn Ancestor?"
"Indeed."
"I see, Senior Thousand Autumn, please proceed to the third-level VIP seats in the auction house."
"Third level?"
Ning Fan was slightly surprised; the third-level VIP seats required at least a background of a Fate Immortal to access.
With Ning Fan’s cultivation background, he could only go to the second level at most.
"Yes, the three ancestors have instructed that Senior Thousand Autumn is an honored guest and must not be neglected." The guard answered respectfully.
"Is that so..."
Ning Fan did not say more, and under the guidance of several maids, he entered the auction house and went straight to the third-level VIP seats.
In his mind, he pondered why the three Fate Immortals of Shaoze Star were so cordial to him; was it because of the nineteen Beast Treasuries, or due to the Medicine Sect’s reputation...
Just as he was pondering, a young gentleman in a blue robe, with a bright smile, waved softly in Ning Fan’s direction.
The young gentleman was sitting alone on a bench, holding a little furball in his arms.
"Master Tao, sit over here!"
Ouyang Nuan was sitting on a bench that could accommodate two or three people.
However, if she was unwilling, who would dare sit next to her?
"Indeed, the Fate Immortals of Shaoze Star only give me this special treatment because of the Medicine Sect’s face... If I also had the cultivation of a Fate Immortal..."
Ning Fan sighed slightly, did not refuse Ouyang Nuan’s invitation, and walked towards her, sitting beside her.
In an instant, a cold gaze came from a certain seat nearby.
Ning Fan slightly frowned, looked towards the seat, and saw a young man in black clothes with a violet jade hairband staring at him with an unkind expression, eyes full of threat.
"You’d better stay away from her!" the young man in black transmitted.
"Her?"
Ning Fan glanced at Ouyang Nuan beside him, thinking to himself, perhaps this young man in black was Ouyang Nuan’s pursuer?
Behind the young man in black stood four strong masters at the Human Profound middle stage.
This formation made Ning Fan wary, but not fearful.
Without paying any attention to the man, Ning Fan took the spiritual tea from the table, filled a cup, and began sipping.
Being ignored by Ning Fan, the young man in black’s somber expression disappeared, and he faintly instructed a nearby Fate Immortal.
"Investigate who that person is. His aura is restrained; my presence is useless against him. He is no ordinary person."
"Understood!"
The Fate Immortal kneeled to his own prince, his form suddenly faded, disappearing from sight, whereabouts unknown.
"Are you angry?" Ouyang Nuan apologized with a smile.
"Using me as a decoy to make that man give up, right... Ouyang Miss has planned well." Ning Fan maintained a calm expression.
"I didn’t plan anything with you! No one knew he would follow! Uncle Wei has gone missing, I’m worried, wanted to discuss it with you. I was solely focused on this, didn’t notice they also arrived," Ouyang Nuan said, transmitting the message.
"Gone missing?" Ning Fan’s gaze flickered; no wonder he didn’t see the Wei named Fate Immortal today, turns out he’s missing.
How could a dignified Human Profound middle-stage Fate Immortal suddenly go missing?
That Wei named Fate Immortal was Ouyang Nuan’s guard and couldn’t have left on his own.
Which means someone killed or captured him...
"Do you have his soul plate?"
"Yes, it’s not broken." Ouyang Nuan worriedly replied.
"Captured alive... Can you find out his approximate location?"
"Hmm, our Medicine Sect possesses a secret technique that can sense Uncle Wei’s location through the soul plate... He’s not on Shaoze Star but still within Shaoze Star Domain. That’s all I can sense..."
Ning Fan remained silent.
The Wei named Fate Immortal was most likely subdued by someone, unless the opponent was a True Immortal; only then could they act unnoticed on Shaoze Star.
If the opponent was a Fate Immortal, a struggle would not escape the notice of Shaoze Star’s Fate Immortals, so they must have convinced the Wei named Fate Immortal to willingly leave Shaoze Star before capturing him alive.
Who they are, and what their purpose is...
Ning Fan didn’t like getting into trouble; however, seeing Ouyang Nuan’s worried expression, he couldn’t help but sigh.
He owed her a life debt; no matter how troublesome, he couldn’t just turn away.
"Why ask me for advice?" Ning Fan frowned and asked.
"I trust you; I think you’ll definitely help me," Ouyang Nuan smiled softly.
"Who are those individuals?"
"Enemies and allies of the Medicine Sect." Upon mentioning enemies, Ouyang Nuan furrowed her brows slightly.
"Enemies?" Ning Fan expressed confusion.
"Don’t you know the enemies? They are the Eastern Heavenly Great Clan, with three True Immortals in their ranks. You don’t know?" Ouyang Nuan expressed surprise.
Any Eastern Heaven cultivator who reached Ning Fan’s level wouldn’t be unaware of the enemies.
"Do they have suspicions?" Ning Fan glanced at the nearby seat, meeting the amiable smile of the young man in black.
This smile was entirely different from the previous coldness...
"Maybe yes, maybe no; I’m not sure."
"I need all information on the Wei named Fate Immortal and specifics of the disappearance time."
"Alright."
Ouyang Nuan thought for a moment, retrieved a jade scroll from her storage pouch, and handed it to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan’s spirit sense entered the jade scroll and started reading carefully.
"Wei Qi, the seventh servant of the Medicine Sect’s Sect Master, one of the nineteen Medicine Guards. All Medicine Guards bear the Wei surname, following the Sect Master. The Sect Master’s name is Wei Wuzhi, on a certain year, month, and day in a certain star domain, picked Wei Qi as a servant... Disappeared three months ago."
After reading all the information, Ning Fan fell silent for a moment.
Wei Wuzhi... Wei Wuzhi... The Medicine Sect’s Sect Master, actually named Wei Wuzhi...
The Sect Master of the Medicine Sect, standing equal with the old monster’s cultivation, may not even be inferior.
If he intentionally didn’t repay the old monster’s debt, the old monster might truly never get back his dues...
Ning Fan speechlessly took out a yellowing IOU note, thought about it, and placed it before Ouyang Nuan.
"Does this signature look familiar to Miss Ouyang..."
"Hmm, this is my master’s handwriting. Oh, the IOU note... This... this is..."
Upon seeing the contents of the IOU note, Ouyang Nuan’s face suddenly blushed, the red spreading to the roots of her neck.
"What’s wrong?"
"Are you Han Yuanji’s disciple?"
"Yes..." Ning Fan thought for a moment, deeming it unnecessary to conceal his identity.
The old monster had let him come to find Wei Wuzhi for the debt; he wasn’t afraid of exposing his identity, which meant Wei Wuzhi wasn’t an enemy.
"How about I repay your master’s debt... I’ll pay you twenty billion, no, one hundred billion Dao Crystals!" Ouyang Nuan’s tone carried a hint of pleading.
