Chapter 91 The Beliefs of the Strong
"In the cultivation world, everything depends on strength." This sentence inexplicably surfaced in Du Fan's mind. At this moment, a long-lost persistence seemed to reappear in his eyes.
This kind of dedication from my past life was a dedication to knowledge, a dedication to academic studies, and a dedication to scientific research.
The reason for this current determination is that I don't want to watch the people around me leave helplessly one by one, and I don't want others to decide my life or death!
He wanted to become a true powerhouse who could control his own destiny in this world, in this Blue Star Realm, in this cultivation world!
The repeated brushes with death, the repeated frustration and helplessness, all culminated in Du Fan's silence, his silent roar, and his clenched fists.
"Senior Mo, I'm sorry to have taken up your time." After a long while, Du Fan's eyes flashed with a strange light, he took a deep breath, clasped his hands and bowed to Mo Wuyou, who had been standing silently to the side.
"It's alright. I can completely understand Fellow Daoist Du's experience," Mo Wuyou said with a smile, stroking his beard as if it didn't bother him at all.
Immediately, Mo Wuyou's gaze inadvertently fell on Du Fan's storage bag at his waist and the large package in his hand. With the strength of his Foundation Establishment stage divine sense, he could naturally see the contents at a glance.
The next moment, Mo Wuyou's expression suddenly changed, and at the same time, a strange light burst forth from his eyes.
Du Fan, who had already calmed down, felt a sudden tightness in his heart and his scalp tingled when he saw this scene. How could he not see the change in Mo Wuyou's expression and what he was thinking?
His storage bag contained not only a large number of rare spiritual herbs, but also two treasures of the Kongsang Sect. Although these two items were unremarkable in appearance, it was hard to say whether Mo Wuyou, given his status, could see through their secrets.
Mo Wuyou's eyes showed a struggle. After a few breaths, the greedy look in his eyes flashed and disappeared. He suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Du, please don't misunderstand. The bundle you are carrying is really inconvenient. That's why I took a few more glances. Please wait a moment."
After Mo Wuyou finished speaking, he ordered the attendant beside him in a deep voice, "Bring me a Qiankun Ring."
The waiter respectfully agreed, bowed slightly, and then turned and left.
Mo Wuyou suddenly raised his arm and grabbed Du Fan's wrist from a distance. The next moment, the black bracelet that was imprisoned on Du Fan's wrist shattered into powder under the action of a strange force and fell down.
The instant the black bracelet disappeared, Du Fan suddenly felt the magic power that had been imprisoned within his body become active again. A few breaths later, it flowed freely through his meridians as usual, without any obstruction.
"Thank you very much, Senior Mo!" Du Fan was relieved and overjoyed, and clasped his hands in thanks.
"Fellow Daoist Du, you're too kind," Mo Wuyou said with a gentle smile.
"Master Mo, here are your things." At this moment, the waiter, who had been there before, respectfully handed a wooden box to Mo Wuyou.
Mo Wuyou didn't even glance at the waiter. With a flick of his sleeve, the lid of the wooden box was opened, revealing a light blue ring inside.
This ring is crystal clear, like a gemstone, and at first glance, it gives people an indescribable sense of mystery, as if it were an illusion.
"This is the Qiankun Ring, a high-level storage magic tool with an internal space of several tens of feet in size."
In addition, the Qiankun Ring can be bound to a person by blood. Once bound, it is generally impossible for outsiders to forcibly open it or probe it with their divine sense, making it extremely safe.
The Qiankun Ring's function and value far surpass those of a storage bag; even Foundation Establishment stage experts might not possess one. I have decided to bestow this upon you, fellow Daoist, as a token of the Seven Star Merchant Alliance's sincerity.
Mo Wuyou spoke gently, then took out the light blue Qiankun Ring and gave it to Du Fan.
"Since Senior Mo has said so, then this junior will not stand on ceremony. Thank you." Du Fan was naturally overjoyed. He clasped his hands in a bow, accepted the Qiankun Ring, and looked as if he could not put it down.
"I'm glad Fellow Daoist Du is satisfied. Next, I will relay what we have discussed back to the main alliance. I imagine it won't be resolved overnight. How about you stay here for the time being?" Mo Wuyou said with a slight smile.
"I'll leave it all to Senior Mo's arrangements." Du Fan had anticipated this, so he wasn't surprised or resistant, and simply agreed.
"Alright, Aping, take Fellow Daoist Du to the VIP room of the branch alliance. Make sure everything is settled properly." Mo Wuyou was very satisfied with Du Fan's attitude and instructed the attendant beside him with a smile.
"Yes, Manager Mo." The young waiter named Aping respectfully replied and led the way to the back door of the shop.
Du Fan cupped his hands in greeting again and then followed the waiter away.
Watching Du Fan's retreating figure, Mo Wuyou stood there, her eyes flashing with a sharp light. Only after Du Fan disappeared from sight did she also vanish from the spot.
……
After a short while, Du Fan sat alone in a guest room. The room was decorated in a simple and rustic style, with several potted plants in the corner. A refreshing fragrance wafted from the room, instantly invigorating the senses and having a special effect of refreshing the mind.
After pondering for a moment, Du Fan took out the Qiankun Ring given to him by Mo Wuyou, and then released a wisp of divine thought to try to invade the ring.
The moment the divine thought touched the Qiankun Ring, that wisp of divine thought was actually repelled.
With a thought, Du Fan activated the Spirit Devouring Technique, sending out seven or eight divine thoughts to sweep across the Qiankun Ring once more.
The Qiankun Ring immediately shone brightly with blue light, emitting a blue halo that absorbed all the divine senses and even showed a tendency to extract Du Fan's divine consciousness.
Du Fan was startled, his face instantly turning pale. Without hesitation, he severed all the divine thoughts he had released, thus preventing his own divine consciousness from being affected.
After a long while, until the blue light on the surface of the Qiankun Ring faded, Du Fan was still somewhat shaken and dared not continue trying. However, he was overjoyed. His previous attempt was enough to demonstrate the extraordinary nature of the Qiankun Ring.
Without further hesitation, he immediately bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the Qiankun Ring.
After about half a cup of tea's time.
"It's done!" Du Fan's eyes shone brightly as he played with the Qiankun Ring in his hand. With a sweep of his divine sense, he could clearly see the space inside the object. Just as Mo Wuyou had said, the space was indeed large, with a length, width, and height of about thirty zhang.
Du Fan took out all the items from his storage bag and put them into his Qiankun Ring. Then he put away the spiritual herbs and experimental instruments in his package.
There are some differences in how the Qiankun Ring and the storage bag are used. The storage bag does not require any magic power to use, only a little divine sense. However, the space is small and it takes a long time to collect items, which seems to be an invisible obstacle.
The Qiankun Ring, on the other hand, requires some magical power and divine sense to use. Its spatial size is far superior to that of a storage bag. In terms of collecting items, it can be said to be completely effortless, easy, and extremely smooth.
Du Fan was very satisfied with the item. After his initial delight, he began to consider his plans for the next few days.
"The most important thing right now is to improve our cultivation level; we can talk about other things later."
After a moment's thought, Du Fan made his decision.
Back when he was in Kongsang Sect, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the first level of Qi Refining. If it weren't for the sudden change in the sect, he would probably already be a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining by now.
Moreover, he now has a strong desire for power.
A glint flashed in Du Fan's eyes, and with a flick of his wrist, a small green bottle appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Without saying a word, he popped the bottle cap open, poured out a pill, and swallowed it instantly. This pill was a Qi Refining Pill.
And so he began to cultivate by consuming elixirs.
A day later, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Du Fan said calmly, opening his eyes.
Then, the door was opened, and a Seven Stars Alliance servant walked in, carrying a wooden tray with two small bottles on it.
"Mr. Du, these are two bottles of Qi Refining Pills that Master Mo instructed me to bring you." The waiter handed the two bottles of pills to Du Fan, bowed, and then left.
"A gift for me?" Du Fan was slightly taken aback. After the waiter left, he opened one of the small bottles, and an extremely rich medicinal fragrance immediately wafted out, spreading rapidly.
Moreover, within this medicinal fragrance, there seemed to be a strange aroma.
He had a feeling that the effects of this bottle of Qi Refining Pills were stronger than those he currently possessed.
Du Fan took out a pill and stared at it. He saw that this Qi Refining Pill looked similar to the one he had seen before, but a thin layer of milky white light appeared on the surface of the pill, and a faint coolness was emanating from it.
He hesitated only slightly before swallowing it whole and beginning to cultivate with his eyes closed.
Several hours later, Du Fan opened his eyes again, a strange light flashing in them.
"The medicinal properties of this Qi Refining Pill are more than 50% stronger than the pills I have taken before, and the impurities in it are significantly reduced, making it easier for me to absorb."
It seems that the same elixir, refined by different alchemists, can have vastly different effects; this must be what's called the difference in grade.
Du Fan suddenly had a flash of insight and immediately understood the mystery. He realized that pills were also divided into superior and inferior grades, but he didn't know the specifics of how they were classified.
Of course, he didn't care too much about this. Taking pills now was just a last resort. Once he could break through to the second level of Qi Refining, he could take Qi Refining Oil. In front of the oil, even the highest-grade pills were trash in Du Fan's eyes...
Having figured these things out, Du Fan smiled slightly, put away the Qi Refining Pills he had previously taken, and began to consume the two bottles of Qi Refining Pills that Mo Wuyou had given him. Since there were good things in front of him, he naturally wouldn't be stingy with himself.
