Chapter 168: Chapter 168: News of the Blood Lingzhi_1

Huh! Huh!

With two light sounds, a large and a small mass of Evil Qi burst out from the ring in Ning Fan’s hand.

It was indeed the Filial Aura that he had previously captured!

The two masses of Filial Aura were much smaller in volume than the Corpse Qi exuded by Ge Tiangang, one being only the size of a palm, the other roughly the size of a soccer ball.

But, this Filial Aura was clearly much more ferocious than the Corpse Qi!

Ning Fan had sensed it immediately upon release; in front of the Filial Aura, this so-called Corpse Qi was nothing but food!

As the two masses of Filial Aura were released, they charged at the Corpse Qi, which spanned four to five meters in diameter. Then they began to tear and devour it frenziedly.

In just a few dozen breaths, the vast sphere of Corpse Qi had been completely devoured.

The two masses of Filial Aura themselves had also grown significantly more powerful, gaining strength rapidly.

"What, what, what is this ghostly thing? How is this possible?"

Ge Tiangang was so scared that he began to scream, both horrified and aggrieved.

He had not easily gathered so much Corpse Qi, only for it to be devoured in an instant!

As the Filial Aura devoured the Corpse Qi, Ning Fan had already reached the passed-out Qiu Li, channeling Spiritual Power to expel and dissolve the Corpse Qi within her; Qiu Li then awoke.

"Mr. Ning, thank you for saving me."

Seeing everything clearly, Qiu Li sincerely expressed her gratitude.

"Ning Fan, it’s really great to have you here!"

Xu Yourong was also looking on with awe in her eyes, feeling utterly reassured.

"Save, save, save me, please don’t kill me, please, Mr. Ning, I beg you to spare my life!"

At that moment, a sharp plea for mercy rang out nearby.

It was Ge Tiangang.

It turned out that the large and small masses of Filial Aura, after completely devouring the Corpse Qi, charged at Ge Tiangang and began circling him with malicious intent, as if they were about to devour him too.

As the two masses of Filial Aura drew near, Ge Tiangang felt his life force swiftly draining away, which terrified him into continuous wailing.

"Weren’t you just about to harm my girlfriend? Why should I spare your life?" Ning Fan said coldly.

The two masses of Filial Aura drew even closer to Ge Tiangang.

Ge Tiangang instantly felt a chilling sensation from his scalp to the soles of his feet.

At the same time, a feeling of weakness surged up rapidly.

He knew that his life force was being rapidly consumed.

"I, I didn’t, Mr. Ning, please have mercy, my Corpse Qi only causes unconsciousness, it doesn’t kill, I, I am only after money, not lives, please spare me... as long as you spare me, I, I can tell you a secret about a treasure... please stop these things quickly!"

Feeling his life force rapidly fading, Ge Tiangang could no longer hold back his fear and shouted tearfully.

"Treasure? Not interested," Ning Fan said indifferently.

"But it’s not just any treasure, that treasure is a three-hundred-year-old ancient tomb discovered in Sea City. It’s said there might be Blood Lingzhi that’s three hundred years old in the tomb. You’ll definitely be interested, Mr. Ning..."

Ge Tiangang, terrified, said hurriedly.

"Three-hundred-year-old Blood Lingzhi?"

Ning Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, then shouted lowly, "Come back."

The two masses of Filial Aura immediately stopped their assault on Ge Tiangang and turned to fly back.

Having grown stronger after devouring the Corpse Qi, the two masses of Filial Aura didn’t fly back into the ring on their own but rolled and morphed before charging menacingly at Ning Fan’s face.

This Evil Qi did not possess true consciousness; it was more like an animal’s instinct. Now that it had grown stronger, it began to turn on its master.

"What? You dare to rebel?"

In the next instant, Ning Fan sneered, his hands reaching out toward the Filial Aura. With a sizzling sound, he tore off nearly half of the two masses of Filial Aura by hand; the remainder melted away as quickly as ice and snow meets blazing fire.

The newfound strength the two masses of Filial Aura had gained from swallowing the Corpse Qi had been reduced back to their original state.

"If you don’t behave, I’ll eradicate you completely,"

said Ning Fan coldly.

Hiss hiss...

The two masses of Filial Aura seemed to understand and recoiled in fear, no longer daring to attack Ning Fan. They hissed submissively like obedient cats and dogs, one after the other, crawling back into Ning Fan’s ring.

Gurgle!

Witnessing Ning Fan’s magical methods, Ge Tiangang, who had been thinking of taking the chance to flee, swallowed hard, and completely dismissed the idea of escape.

"Speak, what’s the deal with the Blood Lingzhi?"

Ning Fan looked at Ge Tiangang once more and said flatly.

"I’ll tell, I’ll tell everything."

Ge Tiangang no longer dared to conceal anything, and he spelled it out.

It turned out that he had received information that last night, an archaeological team discovered a grand Underground Palace on the outskirts of Sea City, but the palace was filled with deadly poisonous gas, which killed almost all who entered to explore the tomb.

And according to the videos sent back by those who died there, the Underground Palace actually contained Blood Lingzhi!

Blood Lingzhi grows in extremely harsh environments and can only grow in places like an Underground Palace, but it has miraculous medicinal properties. Even for a person on the verge of death, just one old Blood Lingzhi can significantly prolong life!

A Blood Lingzhi of some years’ worth was invaluable and extremely precious!

And this discovered Underground Palace was built roughly three hundred years ago, so the Blood Lingzhi inside was most likely also three hundred years old.

A three-hundred-year-old Blood Lingzhi could only be described as a priceless treasure.

As for why Ge Tiangang was so desperate to seize the Lingzhi that was a hundred and fifty years old, it was because the deadly gas in that Underground Palace was very peculiar, and only Lingzhi that was more than a hundred years old could be used to make the corresponding antidote.
