Fang Han and "Star Cloud Baby" lived in this tower for fully a month.
During this month's time, Fang Han thoroughly familiarized himself with all the various cultivation methods and techniques of the "Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Ability". At the same time, he also comprehended some of the wonderful uses of the "Yellow Spring Diagram" again, gaining new understandings.
The functions of the original "Yellow Spring Diagram" were very weak. Aside from storing things, it could just emit Yellow Spring Sacred Water. The various large restriction arrays inside basically could not be exerted. Occasionally, "Yan" would launch a Rotting Immortal Great Formation, but its power was merely for sneak attacks and could not be used for a frontal assault. But now it was different. Once the "Gate of Avici" was opened, boundless power manifested. Lifting a hand or taking a step produced boundless demonic qi; breathing out breath caused boundless pain; a single swallow locked down the void. Even the two great Dao Artifact spirits "King of Blood Night" and "Xingchan" could do nothing against it, showing just how formidable it would be if truly fighting with people.
The "Gate of Avici" was incomparably profound. Although after more than a month of comprehension, Fang Han could only comprehend a small half of its mysteries, when facing enemies, he could also wield some of the various demonic qis from within the Gate of Avici.
After the "Yellow Spring Diagram" underwent his blood-dripping refinement, he also possessed some authority to use it and could drive some wonderful uses. If he fought with someone right now, such as Wanluo, he had the confidence to handle him easily without needing a bitter struggle at all.
Of course, overall during this month's time, he was still accumulating immortal realm origin energy to refine "Nascent Soul Pills". Every day, the immortal realm origin energy was refined into over thirty-six thousand pills of extremely excellent quality, piling up massively in the Yellow Spring Diagram. This caused Fang Han to be elated.
Especially when he knew the benefits of pills.
In the Great Xuan Empire, as long as one had pills, one could almost buy anything one desired, showing just how much the supply of pills fell short of the demand.
For a full month, he accumulated over a million Nascent Soul Pills. If released outside, an unknown number of people would be horrified. Perhaps even the Taiyi Sect would come knocking on his door to inquire thoroughly.
However, all of these one million-plus pills were given to Star Cloud Baby to take back to the Qunxing Sect.
"If I continue like this, in less than two or three years, I might become the richest cultivator in the world! What Meng Shaobai, what Hua Tiandu, they are all poor beggars. In ancient legends, the World Tree towered between heaven and earth, penetrating through the immortal realm. The fragments I have obtained now are not even a multi-billionth of it. I must look for more fragments. If I can produce a hundred thousand Nascent Soul Pills a day, a million Nascent Soul Pills… then I might truly be able to dominate a region!"
Fang Han thought in his heart.
"Let's go, Star Cloud Baby, we will go to the Linglong Pagoda first to invite Fairy Lianyun, and then go find Venerable Gu Meng."
"Alright! This time is really fun! To actually set up an ambush for three Golden Core experts, right. The three Golden Core experts you mentioned, two men, one woman. One executed the Star Sand Refining Thunder Gang, the other executed five-colored lotus flower-like sword qi…" Star Cloud Baby rubbed his own head with his fingers: "They seem to be ranked second, third, and fourth among the Forty Great Thieves of the Overseas, the Heaven Slaying Thief, the Moon Assassinating Thief, the Star Extinguishing Thief, three great thieves. Every one of them is a Golden Core expert, cultivating secretive divine abilities, excelling at assassination and stealth tolerance. They often make people unable to guard themselves adequately. To kill a person, they have never failed."
Like reciting a book, he recited the information of the Forty Great Thieves of the Overseas once. Very clearly, before coming out, he had received thousands of instructions and ten thousands of exhortations from his parents.
"Forty Great Thieves of the Overseas? So that's how it is…" Fang Han's eyes turned, and everything became clear.
Previously, he didn't know the exact identities of the three mysterious Golden Core experts who assassinated him. Now knowing, he had even more certainty to steal the three people's Golden Core divine abilities to use for himself!
"Let's go!"
Fang Han thought for a moment. A stream of five-colored air current wrapped around Star Cloud Baby, flying up toward the sky…
Also in Taibai City, inside the Linglong Pagoda.
Fairy Piaoyun and Fairy Lianyun were discussing with each other. They each pinched two "Nascent Soul Pills" in their hands. One of them was refined by the Taiyi Sect; it was relatively small, not pure and transparent, the face of the infant inside was also somewhat blurry, and its facial features didn't even seem straight. The origin energy contained within was not very turbulent either.
But the one refined by Fang Han was obviously much larger in size than the Taiyi Sect's, and its color was uniformly pure and transparent, clearer than crystal. Even with careful discrimination, no impurities could be seen. The infant inside had a chubby, pale face, and seemingly even possessed breath, making one unable to bear to swallow it in one bite. Furthermore, as that infant breathed, streams of powerful origin energy surged like shocking waves slapping the shore, rotating inside the pill.
This was the difference between the Taiyi Sect's Nascent Soul Pill and the Nascent Soul Pill refined by Fang Han.
No matter how one looked at it, the Taiyi Sect's Nascent Soul Pill was a counterfeit and inferior product, while Fang Han's was the authentic article.
"Actually, the Nascent Soul Pills refined by the Taiyi Sect are passable, but it's just a matter of comparing goods to goods. Comparing them, the Nascent Soul Pills refined by that Perfected One Fang Leng are several times better. I took this pill to the sect, and it even alarmed the Supreme Head-Teacher who was in secluded cultivation. Because the medicinal efficacy of one Nascent Soul Pill matches four or five times that of the Taiyi Sect's! The Supreme Head-Teacher said it was definitely refined from immortal realm origin energy that had been washed by a rare treasure of heaven and earth. It contains dense Connate Yimu Qi, having a huge effect on washing the marrow and clearing the hair. As long as one has slightly good aptitude, taking this Nascent Soul Pill to cultivate gives fully a ninety percent chance of stepping into the Divine Ability Secret Realm. If we return starting with twenty million such Nascent Soul Pills, then in three years, there will be at least a hundred junior sisters stepping into the Divine Ability Secret Realm!"
Fairy Lianyun shook her head, then nodded again: "Now all the grand elders in the sect have issued an absolute die-hard order, we absolutely must rope in this Fang Leng. The pity is, this Fang Leng now seems to be old acquaintances with the young sect master of the Qunxing Sect. I don't know how that tiny child Star Cloud Baby got to know Fang Leng either."
"That Fang Leng said he would come find us in a few days. Now a month has passed and not even a shadow of him can be seen. I wonder if he was refining that Great Brahma Light Ship and forgot the time?" The red-clothed veiled woman Piaoyun furrowed her brows and said.
"That Great Brahma Light Ship simply cannot be refined into a Dao Artifact. I don't know what he bought it back at such a high price for?" Fairy Lianyun was also somewhat bewildered and puzzled: "But that Fang Leng is probably not his real name. Because recently I heard some news saying that within the Yuhua Sect, there is also a disciple who can refine Nascent Soul Pills…"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Right at this moment, the sound of breaking through the air came from the distance, stopping outside the Linglong Pagoda, revealing Fang Han's disguised appearance, along with Star Cloud Baby beside him: "Fairy Lianyun, Fairy Piaoyun, I am truly sorry. I was delayed for a month because of cultivation."
"This does not hinder our cooperation!" Fairy Lianyun said: "I wonder where Fellow Daoist is going that you need me to escort and protect you?"
"Savage God Temple!" Fang Han coldly spat out four words: "Going inside to find an item."
"Savage God Temple!" After hearing this, Fairy Lianyun was quite startled, because this was a legendary forbidden area. People who went in would suffer curses of misfortune after coming out, with not even experts of the Longevity Secret Realm being an exception.
"With this, Fellow Daoist can rest assured. You only need to escort me all the way to outside the Savage Jungle, and do not need to enter the God Temple to explore. Of course, if experts coming to assassinate me are encountered, please protect me." Fang Han waved his hand.
"So that's how it is, this is easy to handle. Fellow Daoist, let's go." Fairy Lianyun flew up.
"We will take a trip to the Tiandao Pavilion first. I still have to invite Venerable Gu Meng."
Fang Han flew out toward the Tiandao Pavilion…
When he flew out from the Tiandao Pavilion, there was already no one beside him. Completely alone by himself, Star Cloud Baby was gone, "Fairy Lianyun" was also gone, and there was even less a shadow of Venerable Gu Meng, this great expert of the Ninth Realm of the Divine Ability Secret Realm "Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation". It appeared as if the business had not been negotiated successfully.
"Fellow Daoist Fang Leng, is it that serious? Requiring us to hide using magical artifacts?"
When flying up into the sky, Venerable Gu Meng's voice suddenly transmitted into Fang Han's mind. It turned out they had all hidden their original true bodies in a magical treasure pouch securely concealed away. Letting Fang Han carry them on his person, simultaneously using various divine abilities to cover up the auras, it was to completely catch people off guard.
"Senior Gu Meng, you only need to act according to my plan and that's it. If I successfully eliminate the people assassinating me this time, this junior will certainly give you double the Nascent Soul Pills. This junior's Nascent Soul Pills are much better in quality than the Taiyi Sect's. This you know. Moreover, in the future, I will also agree to exchange some Nascent Soul Pills for things with the Tiandao Pavilion every month." Fang Han communicated using his mental spirit.
"Very good, very good. This old man will certainly exert my utmost energy to ensure your safety! As for who the people assassinating you are, this old man will only help you resist them, but is not responsible for capturing or killing the enemies. This you must understand." Venerable Gu Meng said.
"As long as Senior can resist the assassination for me, that is fully enough. I will not trouble Senior with the rest of the matters."
Fang Han actually knew that Venerable Gu Meng did not want to offend anyone right now and would only ensure his safety. But this would not hinder him from executing his plan.
A streak of five-colored brilliance flew out of Taibai City, gradually distancing itself from the territory of the Great Xuan Empire, arriving outside tracts of barren, uninhabited Savage Jungle.
The other side of the Great Xuan Empire was an unknown number of hundreds of millions of miles of "Savage Jungle". Within the jungle, there were various terrifying demonic beasts and monsters, as well as many exotic flowers, rare herbs, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures.
In the depths of the "Savage Jungle", there were one after another Savage God Temples, an abandoned civilization. A mysterious empire of ancient times. It was organized much more grandly than the current Great Xuan Empire, and its national strength was tyrannical, but ultimately it was still submerged in the dust of history. The ruins of this mysterious empire were now all among the several major shocking miracles of the cultivation world.
Fang Han flew to outside the "Savage Jungle" and did not enter inside, because he felt a seemingly real yet seemingly non-existent danger right up ahead.
Frowning, his ears moved, and he heard a wave of crisp and pleasing flute notes.
That "Heaven Slaying Thief" woman was sitting on the branch of an ancient savage tree, leisurely playing a flute. She seemed to be specially waiting for Fang Han.
Seeing Fang Han flying in midair, the "Heaven Slaying Thief" stopped playing the flute and stretched out her hand: "You bought a Great Brahma Light Ship at the Treasure Selling Conference. It has no use for you, give it to me. I can spare you once, how about it?"
