Grasping the Evil

Chapter 1179: Titled God of Wealth

The Pure Yang Sect was not far from the He Luo Wei Family. At Ning Fan’s speed, he arrived there in an instant.

The Pure Yang Sect was an Enlightenment Sect with considerable influence in the Northern Heavens. Of course, that was just the strength apparent on the surface. According to Ning Fan’s perception, there were three ancient auras lurking in the Pure Yang Sect, ancient and timeless, as if in slumber.

"Are these ancient monsters who’ve lived from ancient times to today using the Heaven Evading Coffin again? Yet unlike the Chu Family, the Pure Yang Sect hides more than one ancient monster. Just an Enlightenment power, and it has such a deep foundation..."

Ning Fan’s mind sweep revealed from the restricted area of the Pure Yang Sect that there were three fiery coffins, each containing an ancient monster in slumber.

These fiery coffins, known as the Heaven Evading Coffins, were unique to the Northern Heavenly Sects. Ning Fan was not unfamiliar with these coffins; he had seen one early in his cultivation journey because the old monster had one.

Ning Fan even remembered some of the history behind the old monster’s Heaven Evading Coffin. It was said that the old monster took it from the Pure Yang Sect to save his woman. Back then, the old monster sneaked into the Pure Yang Sect while the Sect Master was in seclusion, and the Pure Yang Sect later pursued and retaliated against him...

In principle, the old monster was indeed at fault for stealing someone else’s belonging first. It was understandable for the Pure Yang Sect to seek retaliation.

Unfortunately... Ning Fan only liked to reason with people when he was in the right. More often, he was an unreasonable person.

"From observing a part, we can see the whole. The stronger sects in the Northern Heavens should all have some ancient cultivators surviving till today... The rare occurrence of sect extermination in the Northern Heavens is partly due to the Heavenly Laws’ constraints. Another reason is that each sect hides ancient monsters, causing mutual apprehension. However, there’s one thing that puzzles me: the Heaven Evading Coffin in Master’s possession seems different from the three Heaven Evading Coffins containing the ancient ones at the Pure Yang Sect..."

The old monster’s Heaven Evading Coffin contained very little Heaven-defying power, suitable only for low-level cultivators. A low-level cultivator lying inside could deceive the Heavenly Dao, preserving their body and vitality. However, once inside, they couldn’t leave casually, which was quite inconvenient.

The Heaven Evading Coffins used by the Northern Heavens’ ancient monsters seemed far superior to the old monster’s, containing hundreds of times more of the Heaven-defying power...

Could it be that the Heaven Evading Coffin stolen by the old monster from the Pure Yang Sect was just a low-end version? No wonder the old monster wasn’t hunted by the Pure Yang Sect’s ancient monsters. A low-end Heaven Evading Coffin likely wasn’t worth having those ancient monsters pay the price to emerge from their coffins...

Never mind, those things don’t matter.

Let’s smash the sect first; too much time has been wasted...

Boom boom boom!

Ning Fan transformed his Medicine Soul into a cauldron, replicating the technique taught by the old monster, and smashed the cultivation star where the Pure Yang Sect was located three times.

This was the Black Demon Sect’s style!

Before oppressing and overpowering, they would first smash the other sect’s gates three times, forcing their strong members to come out!

As a result, the entire Pure Yang Sect was utterly shocked and terrified by Ning Fan’s attack!

Even a fool could see the formidable cultivation Ning Fan displayed when he smashed the Pure Yang Star!

Was this man an Immortal Venerable?

Was he an Immortal King?

Was he an Immortal Emperor?

Or even higher!

The three Eternal Immortal Venerables of the Pure Yang Sect were so alarmed that they immediately awoke from their slumber!

"Not good! Someone is attacking my Pure Yang Star! The intruder is terrifyingly strong!"

"What a terrifying mana aura! The mana this person casually displays surpasses ten thousand tribulations! And ten thousand tribulations is clearly not this person’s limit! Ten thousand tribulations; that is the mana limit for a Quasi-Saint! Could this person be a Quasi-Saint!"

"My Pure Yang Sect is a speck of dust, why would we offend a Quasi-Saint! Quick, apologize, quickly apologize to this person!"

Thus...

Ning Fan hadn’t even begun to annihilate the sect or question the Pure Yang Sect, and the tens of thousands of cultivators within the Pure Yang Sect, under the lead of the three ancient monsters, had already bowed neatly outside the sect to welcome Ning Fan.

Especially the three ancient ones at the front, each even bared their upper bodies, bearing willow branches on their backs. Were they going to plead guilty to Ning Fan with willow branches on their backs...

"Please forgive us, Senior! If you spare our Pure Yang Sect, we will agree to any condition!" The three ancient ones of the Pure Yang Sect pleaded with tearful faces.

Ning Fan was slightly speechless.

He was someone who was soft-hearted but unyielding.

With the other party being so tactful, he felt a bit embarrassed to bully the Pure Yang Sect...

"...I’m here to inquire about the He Luo Wei Family." After a long silence, Ning Fan finally explained.

Hearing this, the three ancient ones of the Pure Yang Sect looked bewildered. The He Luo Wei Family? Had the Pure Yang Sect offended this force? By the way, was there such a force in the Northern Heavens?

"Lei Fukan! Give us an explanation, and give this senior an explanation! How did you, as the Sect Master of the Pure Yang Sect, offend the He Luo Wei Family!"

Although the three ancient ones of Pure Yang Sect didn’t even know who the He Luo Wei Family was, they were nonetheless tactful and summoned the current Sect Master of Pure Yang Sect for a severe reprimand.

Lei Fukan, the Sect Master of Pure Yang Sect, looked aggrieved. He was busy cultivating in seclusion and breaking through the Shedding Void Realm. How would he have the time to bully the little He Luo Wei Family? This wasn’t something he did!

Of course, he dared not argue with the three ancient ancestors, nor did he dare refute the quasi-saint-like Ghost-face Senior...

Hence...

He called out the Great Elder of Pure Yang Sect...

"Shen Qiudao! This sect trusted you so much to oversee Pure Yang Sect during my seclusion, and this is how you manage it! As the Great Elder, you actually bully the He Luo Wei Family, backed by a quasi-saint! How could you, how could you, how could you! You’ve let down the sect terribly! Go and atone with your life!" Well! Lei Fukan deftly kicked the ball of responsibility to the Great Elder of Pure Yang Sect.

The Great Elder looked aggrieved, busy every day with his concubines. How would he have the time to lower himself to bully the little He Luo Wei Family? This was a great injustice!

Of course, he couldn’t dare talk back to the Sect Master.

So then...

"Hong Jinlong! How did you, as the Grand Deacon of Pure Yang Sect, come to run afoul of the He Luo Wei Family! Can our Pure Yang Sect offend the He Luo Wei Family? Hurry up and atone with your life!" The responsibility skillfully passed to the Grand Deacon of Pure Yang Sect with Ghost Immortal Realm cultivation!

The Grand Deacon felt unjustly accused but did not dare retort against the Great Elder, so then...

"Liu Debao! Do you still want to be the external deacon!"

Liu Debao was at a loss for words from the injustice, so he pushed his rogue immortal cultivation deputy forward!

"Zhang Hu! Are you trying to abandon your position as the acting deacon? You actually provoked the He Luo Wei Family. How should I even address you!"

Snort!

The acting deacon of the external sect of Pure Yang Sect, named Zhang Hu, upon seeing that the situation wasn’t right, immediately transformed into an escape light, fleeing from Pure Yang Star.

So... it was indeed he who offended the He Luo Wei Family! He was the one who degraded Wei Xuan’s realm! Zhang Hu never imagined that a little He Luo Wei Family would have a Quasi-Saint supporting them, causing the entire Pure Yang Sect to yield and apologize to the Wei Family...

The cultivators of Pure Yang Sect were momentarily stunned when they saw Zhang Hu flee, but soon they were overjoyed.

Being cultivators, each was a person of great wisdom. Everyone could guess that the main culprit of offending the Wei Family was probably Zhang Hu, otherwise, why would he flee in such a panic?

Liu Debao sighed with emotion. He originally just wanted to randomly pass the buck to shirk responsibility, yet inadvertently exposed the main culprit.

Ning Fan was speechless at the Pure Yang Sect’s farce, and by now, he was too lazy to exterminate this bizarre Pure Yang Sect. With a casual strike of Calamity Flash, he obliterated Zhang Hu, who had escaped far away, turning him into dust.

This way, it could be considered as venting for Wei Xuan...

"Well killed! This senior has removed a scourge for our Pure Yang Sect, and we are eternally grateful!" The three eternal cultivators of Pure Yang Sect wore expressions of gratitude, though it was far too fake.

"The senior has worked hard! Someone, prepare a banquet, bring on the music and dance, please invite the senior to rest within our sect!" The cunning Sect Master of Pure Yang Sect, Lei Fukan, secretly summoned a few beautiful female cultivators of Pure Yang Sect to appease Ning Fan’s displeasure with their beauty.

Ning Fan dismissively waved away the beauties trying to cling to him.

He questioned himself, having lived a long cultivation life, seen countless peculiar sects, but never one as indecent and cunning as Pure Yang Sect.

Forget it, it seems like others in Pure Yang Sect have never bullied the He Luo Wei Family, let Wei Xuan’s matter end here...

"Since that’s the case, about the He Luo Wei Family’s issue..." As Ning Fan began to speak, Pure Yang Sect promptly expressed their stance.

"Rest assured, senior! From today onwards, the He Luo Wei Family is a friend of our Pure Yang Sect! None of our disciples will trouble the Wei Family in the future, and if the Wei Family needs help, our Pure Yang Sect is willing to provide assistance at any time, be it manpower or resources, anything!" The three eternal cultivators of Pure Yang Sect instantly promised.

Ning Fan nodded in satisfaction. Compared to annihilating the entire Pure Yang Sect, finding a friend for the Wei Family from the Pure Yang Sect seemed pretty good...

"By the way, there’s another matter. I have an old acquaintance, named Han Yuanji, who once took a defective Heaven Evading Coffin from your sect, and was thus hunted by your sect..."

Ning Fan intended to inquire about Old Monster Han’s matter.

Upon hearing this, the three eternal cultivators of Pure Yang Sect felt chills down their spines, breaking out in cold sweat on their foreheads.

They thought the matter of the He Luo Wei Family had passed, and nothing was wrong, but how come Pure Yang Sect had another issue offending this Quasi-Saint senior!

"Lei Fukan! Give us an explanation, give this senior an explanation, who is Han Yuanji? No, why did you want to hunt Han Yuanji! If someone came to our Pure Yang Sect to take a defective Heaven Evading Coffin, how could you let someone take it? You should have given it away! That’s the old acquaintance of a Quasi-Saint senior. Coming to our Pure Yang Sect to take things is showing our Pure Yang Sect face! Forget it, you should commit suicide to apologize!" The three eternal cultivators sharply ordered.

Lei Fukan was about to cry; he didn’t know about the He Luo Wei Family’s issue, but he knew about Old Monster Han’s matter! However, the hunting of Han Old Monster had nothing to do with him! Back then, he was in seclusion from start to finish, otherwise, with his strength, how could he have been robbed by the then barely emerging Northern Heavenly Demon Han Yuanji...

He naturally didn’t want to commit suicide!

So he decided to pass the buck!

"Shen Qiudao! You owe our sect an explanation! Our sect clearly decreed multiple times not to hunt Han Yuanji, not to harm lives for a defective Heaven Evading Coffin, why didn’t you listen!"

The Great Elder Shen Qiudao was about to cry!

The sect master was blatantly lying! When Pure Yang Sect was robbed by a little demon back then, how could we not fight back, how could we not retrieve our lost property...

The matter clearly wasn’t our Pure Yang Sect’s fault back then!

Forget it, isn’t it just lying with open eyes, he could do it too...

So he called out the Great Deacon Hong Jinlong and heavily reprimanded him.

So Hong Jinlong called out Liu Debao, sternly ordering Liu Debao to commit suicide as an apology.

So...

Ning Fan couldn’t watch any longer.

He really wanted to know what kind of ingenious person could create such a peculiar Pure Yang Sect, and have such a group of disciples!

Creak, creak, creak...

Just as the Pure Yang Sect cultivators were busy passing the buck, the ground of Pure Yang Star suddenly cracked open, forming a canyon-like chasm.

Then, an Ancient Coffin imbued with the aura of a Quasi-Saint flew out from the core of the planet.

No one in the entire Pure Yang Sect knew of the existence of this Ancient Coffin!

But when an elder exuding the Pure Yang aura emerged from the Ancient Coffin, all the disciples of Pure Yang Sect were dumbfounded, recognizing the person’s identity.

The person’s appearance was identical to the ubiquitous portraits of the Pure Yang Ancestral Master within the sect!

The founder of Pure Yang Sect had actually survived from ancient times to this day! How could this be possible!

Our Pure Yang Sect wasn’t merely a small Enlightenment faction, but actually had a Quasi-Saint presiding!

"A bunch of scoundrels! If this old man hadn’t come out, you would have completely disgraced my Pure Yang Sect! Now return to your caves and reflect deeply! For one month, none of you are allowed to leave your abodes!" The Pure Yang Ancestral Master was furious!

Even if Pure Yang Sect were flattened by Ning Fan, he had no intention of showing himself.

But those disgraceful disciples and grand disciples just had to embarrass him so much!

They literally angered him out of the coffin!

Consequently, all the Pure Yang Sect cultivators gathered there were sent back to their caves by the Pure Yang Ancestral Master to reflect deeply.

In an instant, only Ning Fan and the Pure Yang Ancestral Master were left!

"A First Rank Quasi-Saint! And a presence nearing the breakthrough to Second Rank!" Ning Fan’s eyes slightly narrowed.

With his level of perception, when he arrived at Pure Yang Star, he didn’t notice that a long-lived Quasi-Saint was lurking here.

This person’s ability to conceal their aura was too heaven-defying, merely based on this skill alone, this person could rank within the top three in the Era of Decline, and even some Ancient Great Cultivators couldn’t compare to him!

"I am Pure Yang Master. Are you Zhao Jian Taoist Friend who subdued the primitive and wild lands?"

The Pure Yang Ancestral Master swung his floating dust and approached with a smile, but that smile felt somewhat insincere to Ning Fan.

This was a deceitful person.

No wonder he could teach a large group of equally deceitful disciples and descendants.

However... his cultivation levels are indeed not to be underestimated.

Ning Fan estimated that even if he exhausts all his means and summons the Heaven Evading Coffin with a Quasi-Saint cultivation, he might only be able to fight evenly with this person.

In an even fight, Ning Fan wouldn’t want to fight until the world turns dark, but he doesn’t need to fear him either.

"Indeed, I am Zhao." Ning Fan replied.

"So it is... The famed Ancient Great Cultivator Zhao Jian is just a mere little Immortal King, deceiving the world," Pure Yang Ancestral Master said with a meaningful smile, transmitting his voice.

He did not announce his discovery, clearly still cautious of Ning Fan, unwilling to become hostile with him.

Yet his words slightly startled Ning Fan.

The surprise was due to Pure Yang Ancestral Master’s exceptionally sharp insight. This level of perception could easily rank among the top three in the Era of Decline!

Even compared to the opened-eyed Daoist Wood Pine, pure insight was far inferior to this Pure Yang Ancestral Master! After all, if it were Daoist Wood Pine, he might not be able to see through Ning Fan’s bottom-line across the ghostly guise.

"What does it matter if you’re an Immortal King or not?" Ning Fan responded indifferently.

"Ah, Taoist Friend is truly unaffected. I do not despise you for being a mere Immortal King. On the contrary, to have cultivated 13,700 Calamities worth of mana at the Immortal King’s level, and possessing some hidden trump card that even threatens me, I dare not underestimate you at all. If your cultivation improves further, someday, I may not even be able to match a finger of yours. But alas, alas, your mana purity is too low. If you do not resolve this issue and continue blindly increasing the amounts of mana, one day you will suffer dire consequences, following in the footsteps of the Immortal Emperor..."

"Following in the footsteps of the Immortal Emperor? What do you mean?" Ning Fan frowned.

"One question, five hundred taels of Heavenly Dao Gold!" Pure Yang Ancestral Master chuckled sinisterly.

This person actually knows I have Heavenly Dao Gold? This is beyond just sharp insight, it almost seems like foresight...

So it seems this person’s divination cultivation has reached a divine level... or perhaps he’s just bluffing, unaware that I possess a large amount of Heavenly Dao Gold and Silver.

Ning Fan shook his head, "I have no Heavenly Dao Gold."

"Ah, Taoist Friend is truly unaffected. Well then, when Taoist Friend wishes to quickly improve the purity of mana, come find me. Since I dare to use Pure Yang as my title, naturally I have some insights on the matter of mana purity. But remember to bring enough Heavenly Dao Gold; I travel the world, recognizing no family ties, only gold and silver. By the way..."

Suddenly, Pure Yang Ancestral Master changed the subject, handing over an ancient jade scroll to Ning Fan.

"It seems my Pure Yang Sect has offended you in many ways. So let this item compensate a bit for Han Yuanji’s affair and the Wei Family’s matter..."

Whoosh!

The Pure Yang Ancestral Master transformed into a blazing flame and disappeared, along with the ancient coffin where he previously slumbered, and the giant crack on the ground.

"Has this person returned to slumber within Pure Yang Star..."

Ning Fan swept his spirit sense over the jade scroll, revealing a peculiar expression. Silent for a moment, he eventually left the Pure Yang Sect.

"What a pity, this boy has such a composed heart; he wasn’t tempted by the contents of my jade scroll. Ah, it truly isn’t easy to profit from this boy’s Heavenly Dao Gold. I wonder if I have any chance of success if I decide to directly seize it..."

In the depths of Pure Yang Star, inside the ancient coffin, Pure Yang Ancestral Master calculated using his fingers, then sighed and shook his head.

"...only a fifty-three percent chance of success, too low. This boy’s hidden means are indeed terrifying. It isn’t wise to make him an enemy. Ah, I’ll have to wait until he changes his mind someday to earn his Heavenly Dao Gold..."

...

Ning Fan left the Pure Yang Sect.

He had come to the Pure Yang Sect intending to vent for the Wei Family and Old Monster.

But having witnessed Pure Yang Sect’s flunkey drama, Ning Fan had lost interest in bullying Pure Yang Sect excessively, merely exterminating Zhang Hu before considering withdrawing his hand.

And with Pure Yang Ancestral Master appearing, even if Ning Fan wanted to annihilate Pure Yang Sect, he didn’t have the ability.

Ah, Pure Yang Ancestral Master...

It was said that the renowned Heaven Evading Coffin in Northern Heaven was invented by Pure Yang Ancestral Master. Ning Fan had long heard of Pure Yang Ancestral Master’s name, he just didn’t expect the person hadn’t died, and was still alive...

Hidden dragons and crouching tigers, truly describes Northern Heaven, doesn’t it...

"However, there’s one thing—the Pure Yang Ancestral Master lied. His appearance wasn’t driven by his disciples; from the start, he was targeting me—not precisely, he was targeting the Heavenly Dao Gold and Silver in my pocket."

"If my strength were insufficient, this person would certainly have taken action directly to snatch my Heavenly Dao Gold and Silver; but this person’s insight is too sharp, his divination too profound. He sensed a threat from me, thus giving up the idea of directly seizing, opting instead to earn my Heavenly Dao Gold through transactions..."

Ning Fan once again released his spirit sense, delving into the jade scroll given by Pure Yang Ancestral Master.

Inside the jade scroll was a mantra, the name of the mantra was "Refining Purity Formula."

This isn’t a complete mantra; it appears to be only a part of the whole formula.

The function of the mantra is to help Immortal King cultivators achieve the mana purity of a Sixth Calamity Immortal Emperor in a short period!

The complete "Refining Purity Formula" seems to include more profound cultivation content, but those parts were not given to Ning Fan by Pure Yang Ancestral Master.

This person is waiting for Ning Fan to actively purchase that portion of the formula’s content!

"If this person merely seeks to earn my fortune through proper channels, he need not be considered a great enemy; nevertheless, he might have other schemes against me, precautions must be taken..."

"Still, this mantra would greatly assist me. The matter of mana purity has troubled me for some time; I had even tried procuring similar methods to enhance mana purity through Ancient Kingdom Trade Arrays, but there hasn’t been any quick way; generally, mana purity can only be slowly refined through gradual practice over time. But this ’Refining Purity Formula’ seems like a shortcut; if I have sufficient materials, I might be able to elevate my mana purity in several months..."

Currently, Ning Fan’s quantity of mana has reached a terrifying 13,700 Calamities, a quantity exceeding many First Rank Quasi-Saints.

Yet his mana purity only equals Triple Calamity Immortal King, which is a constraint due to his realm, also a repercussion of his rapid advancements in cultivation lately.

In reality, before reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm, cultivators do not need to pursue mana purity excessively; in this stage, mana purity does not heavily affect strength.

However, upon reaching ranks beyond the Immortal Emperor, further advancements emphasize qualitative change, especially at the Quasi-Saint level, where the demands on quality are remarkably high; if your mana purity is insufficient, many Quasi-Saint methods cannot exert their original power.

If Ning Fan’s mana purity could reach the level of a First Order Quasi-Saint, he could evenly match with the weaker ones just by relying on his mana alone; with his techniques, crushing those weak Quasi-Saints would be extremely easy.

"Should I try the Refining Purity Formula..."

Ning Fan pondered all the way back to the He Luo Wei Family.

Upon seeing Ning Fan return safely, Wei Xuan did not ask how he dealt with the Pure Yang Sect, believing that Ning Fan had already stood up for him.

Sure enough, days later, the news of the death of Pure Yang Sect’s cultivator Zhang Hu reached the He Luo Wei Family, sweeping away Wei Xuan’s resentment for years, leaving him in such a good mood that he drank quite a bit.

However, as the matter of the Pure Yang Sect continued to ferment, more secretive news began to spread among the eternal circle in Beitian.

These are messages ordinary people cannot know, forbidden from dissemination by the Four Oceans Sect!

[Shocking! Ancient Great Cultivator Zhao Jian arrives at Pure Yang Sect, seventy thousand Pure Yang cultivators bow with remorse]

[Shocking! Pure Yang Ancestral Master resurrects and eloquently saves the sect]

[Shocking! Pure Yang Ancestral Master and Great Cultivator Zhao Jian secretly reach a certain deal]

[Shocking! Great Cultivator Zhao Jian hinted to Pure Yang Sect Master, wanting the sect to offer beauties to serve]

[Shocking...]

Ning Fan was too lazy to care about whether others were shocked.

He temporarily stayed at He Luo Wei Family, not in the identity of Zhao Jian, but as Ning Fan.

The He Luo Wei Family naturally did not know that being part of the family was a supreme master, thus, they offered Ning Fan no special hospitality.

Ning Fan didn’t care about such trivial matters, enjoying a low-profile life in the Wei Family, spending several months treating Wei Xuan while cultivating mana purity.

Several months later, good news spread throughout the He Luo Wei Family!

Fallen for years, Wei Xuan’s dark wounds unexpectedly healed, restoring his cultivation to the Dao Line of Life Immortal level!

This was indeed a major affair for the Wei Family, as it had gradually declined, leaving only the Family Head as a Fate Immortal cultivator. The restoration of Wei Xuan’s cultivation meant the Wei Family now had a second Fate Immortal mighty being!

Wei Xuan, long neglected by the family, suddenly became a hot topic, directly appointed as the Great Elder of the Wei Family!

Months passed, and more good news emerged.

Despite Wei Xuan’s fall in cultivation, he continued to bitterly cultivate relentlessly, relying on years of accumulation and the auxiliary of expensive pills. After his cultivation was restored, he successfully broke through the Ghost Immortal Realm bottleneck, becoming the only Ghost Profound Fate Immortal in the Wei Family!

The Wei Family Head, upon seeing Wei Xuan, needed to tread carefully!

Shortly after Wei Xuan broke through the Ghost Profound Realm, a third piece of good news arrived, leaving the Wei Family ecstatic.

The Pure Yang Sect wanted to form an alliance with the Wei Family, reportedly in regard to Wei Xuan!

"Master, Master! You have such great prestige, that’s the Pure Yang Sect, and they want to ally with us because of you! From now on, which sect in Beitian would dare look down on our Wei Family!" an excited young boy conveyed the good news to Wei Xuan.

Upon hearing the news, Wei Xuan was pleased with the Wei Family’s resurgence, but more than that, he was in disbelief.

Did he really hold such prestige?

His numerous benefits and those of the Wei Family were thanks to that young lad...

"Right, the family elder still doesn’t know about this news, I must tell him..." As he said this, the young boy was about to dash to Ning Fan’s room but was stopped by Wei Xuan.

"Do not disturb your elder brother, he’s at a crucial point in his cultivation right now." Wei Xuan said solemnly.

"Should we tell the family head about his elder brother..." the boy asked again.

"No need. The lad said he doesn’t want outsiders to know he’s here with me..." Wei Xuan sighed.

As Wei Xuan said, at this moment, Ning Fan was in the room cultivating, and he had reached a critical point.

Consolidation, consolidation, consolidation!

With some rare Immortal Materials aiding him, Ning Fan’s entire mana was being shattered, then reassembled bit by bit.

After some time, Ning Fan exhaled a murky breath and stood up.

He had stayed in the Wei Family for almost half a year, during which, based on the Refining Purity Formula, he scattered and re-condensed his mana once again.

Just moments ago, the final step of re-condensation was completed!

After half a year of hard cultivation, his mana purity had risen from the Triple Calamity Immortal King’s purity to the Fourth Calamity!

The total amount of Ning Fan’s mana hadn’t changed, but his aura had strengthened considerably!

"I really overestimated the Pure Yang Ancestral Master; unexpectedly, his Refining Purity Formula was even less complete than I initially assessed. I thought this formula could at least let me cultivate all the way to Sixth Calamity Immortal Emperor purity, but unexpectedly, even with this incomplete formula, the Pure Yang Ancestral Master left some words out, making the already incomplete formula more incomplete...epitomes of Fourth Calamity purity can be cultivated; epitomes above Fifth Calamity purity can reluctantly be cultivated, but because of missing words, hastily cultivating brings a certain probability of mana collapse, cultivation degradation...This Pure Yang Ancestral Master is so stingy that even a bit of unpaid formula is withheld..."

Ning Fan was slightly speechless, at this moment he was thoroughly convinced the Pure Yang Ancestral Master was a greedy person.

To deal with greedy people, if you can’t crush them with force, you can only compromise with financial power.

Indeed, it’s necessary to visit the Pure Yang Sect once to buy the rest of the Refining Purity Formula, though he would likely get ripped off...

Achoo.

Simultaneously, far away in the depths of the Pure Yang Star, the Pure Yang Ancestral Master sneezed.

"Heh heh, it seems that Zhao Jian is again cursing me behind my back, but...he should be coming to find me soon to purchase the remaining formula. Money makes the world go round, heh heh, money makes the world go round..."

The Pure Yang Ancestral Master chuckled proudly.

This time, if he didn’t ruthlessly fleece Ning Fan, he would be unworthy of his [Titled God of Wealth] status.

No one knew, by chance, Pure Yang Ancestral Master inherited the title from the former Wealth Deity of the ancient Heavenly Court; if this title was used, its power would match a Control Position!
