Grasping Evil

Chapter 385.2

Bloody Gourd

He took out a crimson-red wine gourd. The gourd was clear like crystal and one could clearly see the blood-red wine within it.

That wine gourd gave off an immense amount of aura force of a magical treasure. It was unquestionably a Mortal Void Realm Treasure. Moreover, it was in the middle grade of the Mortal Void Realm!

As for the wine within the gourd, when a whiff of its aroma spread out, it instantly made Ning Fan feel energized. His eyes then shone with a hint of joy.

By just sniffing a whiff of its aroma, his magic power had already been increased by one unit…

What is this wine?!

“Even though drinking with me is not a test, I, Yun Tianjue, will certainly not keep you occupied an entire month for nothing. There is still half a gourd left. You can only drink three mouthfuls. If you drink more than that, you will certainly die.”

“Three mouthfuls?!”

Ning Fan’s eyes burned with zeal.

The power contained within the wine of this blood-red gourd is reasonably not any weaker than that of the time crystal.

Since just a whiff of its aroma managed to increase his magic power by one unit, he would very likely obtain thousands of units of magic power by drinking a mouthful.

If he drinks three mouthfuls, he could get at least twenty thousand units of magic power!

If he could obtain this amount of magic power just like that, he would not suffer any losses at all in accompanying Yun Tianjue for one full month.

“Does Senior really mean it?!” Ning Fan still found it hard to believe that Yun Tianjue who was rumored to be a cruel and bloodthirsty expert would actually give him benefits.

“I don’t like talking nonsense.” Yun Tianjue remained silent afterwards. He stood at the bow of the ship with his single remaining arm resting on his lower back. He gazed into the skyline where the sun was slowly rising with an expressionless face.

“Thank you Senior for such a generous reward!”

Ning Fan also did not continue to act politely. His perception towards Yun Tianjue instantly changed.

This man is eccentric and unsociable. He does not like talking a lot and is rather moody. However, he clearly distinguishes kindness from hatred when he does things.

Even though he is a bit too cold, he would not kill his own blood brother for no reason.

Perhaps there are some hidden secrets behind the reason why he killed the fourth prince of the Rain Palace.

Ning Fan pulled the cork of the gourd. As soon as the heavy aroma of the wine assailed his nostrils, he almost became drunk. It was enough to show how strong the wine was.

The fifth level spiritual wines were crap compared to the current wine he was going to drink. Even Mortal Void Realm spiritual wines were also not comparable to it.

Because the current wine he had was Immortal Void Realm spiritual wine!

*Sound of swallowing*

Ning Fan held the wine gourd up and drank a mouthful without hesitation. Immediately, a hot and fiery sensation almost numbed his entire tongue and throat.

He had never tasted such a strong wine in his life. Besides, this wine became extremely raw and fishy, like the smell of seafood when it entered his mouth despite how aromatic it was when he opened the bottle.

As the mouthful of wine flowed into his abdomen, it turned into a rush of hot current which settled in his dantian, slowly heating up his entire body until he was boiling hot.

A mouthful of wine contained at least 8000 units of magic power!

A massive amount of wine power spread across his body. His face turned red and his robes became bulgy even though there was no wind. The color green and purple slowly stained his skin.

What a strong wine power! No wonder Senior Yun only allowed me to drink three mouthfuls of it and claimed that I will die if I drink more than that. I originally thought he was just threatening me not to drink a fourth mouthful. But now, it seems like it’s clearly because this wine is too strong. With my current physical body, I definitely can’t endure the power of four mouthfuls!

Besides, it’s only me who is able to drink three mouthfuls of this wine. To ordinary Half-Step Void Refinement Realm experts, they could drink at most two mouthfuls.

Ning Fan’s eyes turned grim.

This Senior Yun has very keen foresight. He has already seen through all of my capabilities with a single glance.

Without thinking any further, Ning Fan raised the blood-red gourd again and gulped down another two mouthfuls. He drank all three mouthfuls almost at the same time.

After he finished drinking, he stuffed the cork back to the opening of the gourd and placed it on the table again. Right afterwards, he instantly sat down in a meditative position and began assimilating the large amount of magic power within him which was nearly equivalent to 25000 units!

He took all three mouthfuls in a row!

Yun Tianjue did not turn around. However, his straight dashing eyebrows twitched gently. His eyes were filled with approval.

“This wine gourd is called the Bloody Gourd. Even though it’s just a Mid Grade Mortal Void Realm item, it has a magical effect and that is to refine demon blood and human blood into wine. What you have just drunk is the blood essence of the Divine Sovereign of the Sword World. I said you could only drink three mouthfuls but I didn’t expect that you would take three mouthfuls in a row. You aren’t half bad!”

*Hiss*

Yun Tianjue’s tone sounded bizarrely calm, as if he was talking about something very insignificant.

However, when Ning Fan heard his words, he immediately took a deep breath.

This Senior Yun certainly is vicious.

Using the blood of the Divine Sovereign of the Sword World to make blood wine… He is really insane!

It’s no surprise why this wine could raise so much magic power… In a sense, this is not wine at all. It’s clearly the blood essence of a Void Fragmentation Realm Divine Sovereign!

Ten days later, Ning Fan managed to assimilate all the power of the blood wine and exhaled a foul breath. He now had 338500 units of magic power in total.

It was all thanks to Yun Tianjue’s generous gift that he could have such a massive improvement in his magic power.

He rose to his feet and cupped his fists. His gaze then fell on the blood-red gourd on the table. He really wished that he could finish the entire bottle.

However, the blood wine was brewed using the blood of the Divine Sovereign of the Sword World after all. The baleful qi it contained was too strong. Even though its magic power could be assimilated, the brutal and savage nature within the sovereign’s blood could only be eroded by going through countless life and death battles.

Thus, even though this wine was excellent, it was not suitable to drink a lot of it. Otherwise, its baleful qi would cause a serious backlash and Ning Fan would have to face the risk of losing himself. The losses he would suffer would outweigh his gains.

“Once more, thank you Senior for your generous gift. This junior will make a move first.”

Ning Fan stared deeply at Yun Tianjue for a moment and expressed his intention to leave.

However, before he could leave, Yun Tianjue suddenly opened his mouth and uttered.

“You don’t have to be in a hurry to leave. I will now give you the test.”

“What test?” Ning Fan asked in a serious manner.

“Dragon Determining Valley! Blood collection!”

Yun Tianjue did not give him any further explanations. All of a sudden, a boundless sword qi rose around his body.

The sword ship beneath their feet then transformed into a thousand zhang* (3.33 m per zhang) long gigantic sword and dashed towards the sky with a blinding sword light.

At the next moment, the giant sword flew in the sky carrying both Ning Fan and Yun Tianjue. It headed all the way west. In an instant, it traveled millions of li* (500m per li).

Its speed was so fast that Ning Fan could barely catch a glimpse of the things that were flashing past his eyes. His Early Void Refinement Realm speed seemed absolutely insignificant compared to such a terrifying speed.

By riding this gigantic sword, they could travel billions of li* (500m per li) in a day.

Three days later, Yun Tianjue stopped the sword from flying and kept it into his pouch. He had already brought Ning Fan out of the Endless Sea. They were now in a snowy country.

The land here was covered with sleet and snow. With the sunlight being blocked by thick heavy clouds. The density of the spiritual qi in this place was far greater than in Great Jin.

This was not a Mid Ranked cultivation country or a High Ranked cultivation country… Instead, it was a Void Ranked cultivation country!

The size of its territory was billions of li* (500m per li) wide!

“Where is this place?” Ning Fan asked again.

“This is Snow Country. The land to collect blood.”

Yun Tianjue did not explain much either. Just as he showed himself, the whole Snow Country was startled. Countless Nascent Soul Realm and Divine Transformation Realm cultivators soared into the sky. Moreover, even three Void Refinement Realm old monsters had come to stop them from entering the country.

“The Rain Sovereign has orders! Void Fragmentation Realm experts are only allowed to enter the Dragon Determining Valley once every ten years. We hope that Lord Sword God would not make things difficult for us…”

“Get lost!”

A fierce and domineering aura force spread out from Yun Tianjue’s body.

His aura was like a sharp sword. The moment he revealed his aura force, thousands upon thousands of Nascent Soul Realm and Divine Transformation Realm cultivators were sent flying backwards gravely wounded. Even the three Void Refinement Realm old monsters were unable to endure Yun Tianjue’s aura force.

“Sword God, please calm your anger! We are not bold enough to block your way!”

Everyone was astonished.

The current Yun Tianjue did not reason with anyone at all. He only gave out a message – whoever stands in my way shall die!

Even if they had their orders from the Rain Sovereign, none of them was bold enough to enforce it as it would be similar to waving a chicken feather as a token of authority.

No matter who Yun Tianjue was planning to bring into the country, no one dared to stop him!

He, Yun Tianjue, was just so domineering. Who did he need to reason with?

He flicked his sleeve and a ray of sword light shone. He beckoned Ning Fan to follow him and they both disappeared in the snowy land in the next second.

He did not need to reason with anyone.

Because his sword was reason!
