The Nine Nether Three Rankings

Chapter 14: The Three Nine Nether Rankings (This chapter is free)

Picking up bargains isn't that easy. Bi Fan looked very carefully, browsing many stalls but not getting lucky enough to find anything good again.

Jing Feng had been with Bi Fan the whole time. The longer they spent together, the less he could understand Bi Fan, feeling that everything Bi Fan did was unfathomably profound.

Jing Feng put away his previous arrogance, and his way of addressing Bi Fan became much more cordial.

"Brother Bi Fan, why did you spend two hundred crystal stones on a mid-grade Magic Tool and a broken inner armor?" Jing Feng had this question in his heart and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, I just felt I really liked that mid-grade Magic Tool. As for the inner armor, it was purely a bonus. It should have some defensive capabilities, right?" Bi Fan said calmly.

Bi Fan didn't reveal anything at all. It was difficult for him, but he didn't want to cause any trouble. It wasn't intentional to hide anything from Jing Feng.

Jing Feng didn't ask further, and the two continued to browse the stalls.

In Listening Wind Valley, there was everything imaginable, a dazzling array of goods.

Bi Fan's horizons were broadened, and his knowledge increased significantly.

However, Bi Fan rarely made a move. If it wasn't something useful, he generally wouldn't act, unless it was a bargain.

Unfortunately, at this kind of trading fair, it was very difficult to find a bargain, as there were too many experts.

With Bi Fan's current skill, he was still far from it. It was only by luck that he managed to find an exquisite Magic treasure inner armor.

There were too many stalls in Listening Wind Valley. They spent the entire day looking but still hadn't seen them all.

"Brother Jing Feng, let's go back tomorrow. I can't stay outside for too long," Bi Fan said.

Jing Feng replied, "Alright. If there's a chance, we'll come back again."

He had already bought what he wanted, only the jade fan transaction had failed, which made him regret it for a long time.

That night, Jing Feng and Bi Fan found an inn to stay in.

Late at night, Bi Fan took out the inner armor and studied it. He discovered that the inner armor was actually Purple Gold Soft Armor. The only thing missing was the core chest plate that provided energy, causing the Purple Gold Soft Armor to have no trace of spiritual energy.

However, Bi Fan still wore the Purple Gold Soft Armor on the inside. The main material of the Purple Gold Soft Armor was purple gold, with many other rare metals added. Even without spiritual energy, its defensive power was still astonishing.

Wearing the Purple Gold Soft Armor felt very close-fitting and comfortable. Bi Fan was extremely satisfied.

The next morning, Bi Fan and Jing Feng casually ate breakfast and prepared to set off.

Listening Wind Valley had many good things, but unfortunately, they couldn't buy them. It was better to leave early to avoid unnecessary distress.

Jing Feng was still feeling down today because he hadn't managed to trade for the jade fan yesterday.

As the two were approaching the exit, two young men walked towards them.

Jing Feng's expression changed slightly, and he continued to walk forward with large strides.

One of the fair-skinned young men smiled and said, "Yo, isn't this Jing Feng from Qingyang Sect!"

Just by his sarcastic tone, one could tell that he not only knew Jing Feng but was also difficult to deal with.

"Jiang Wen, don't get cocky. In the next competition, I will definitely defeat you," Jing Feng said coldly.

Jiang Wen laughed, "Loser, I'll be waiting for you. It's a pity that you probably will never be my opponent. I'll become a core disciple in no time."

"Hmph!" Jing Feng snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Bi Fan followed him and asked, "Who was that? He's so arrogant."

"Jiang Wen from North Xu Palace. In the last Nine Nether Hidden Dragon Ranking competition, I lost to him by one move. He acts so arrogant every time he sees me," Jing Feng said.

"Nine Nether Hidden Dragon Ranking? What is that?" Bi Fan asked.

Jing Feng explained, "Every three years, the cultivation sects within the Nine Nether City territory send disciples to compete and rank them. I am ranked third on the Nine Nether Hidden Dragon Ranking, and Jiang Wen is second."

Bi Fan knew Nine Nether City. Nine Nether City was vast, with a population of over eighty million. There were more than a hundred large and small cultivation sects within its territory.

Qingyang Sect was considered a first-class power in Nine Nether City, but in the entire Vast Sky Great World, Qingyang Sect didn't even rank.

Giants like Mystic Maiden Palace were the top sects in the Vast Sky Great World.

From Jing Feng, Bi Fan learned that Nine Nether City had three major rankings. They were the Nine Nether Hidden Dragon Ranking for the Mortal Embryo Realm, the Nine Nether Dragon Ranking for those in the Mortal Transformation Realm, and the Nine Nether Divine Dragon Ranking for the Spiritual Power Realm.

The experts in the Spiritual Power Realm in Nine Nether City were all major figures, and most of them were on the list.

Bi Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of longing. Who wouldn't want to be on the list? But his strength wasn't even enough to be an Inner Disciple, let alone be on the Nine Nether Hidden Dragon Ranking.

However, Bi Fan felt a sense of clarity, and a new goal formed in his heart: to get on the list as soon as possible.

Bi Fan vowed to reach the top of both the Nine Nether Hidden Dragon Ranking and the Nine Nether Dragon Ranking.

With such motivation, Bi Fan believed he would cultivate even more diligently.

Before, Bi Fan was just a humble Medicine Boy, content with just living a comfortable day.

Now, a grand path had unfolded before Bi Fan, filled with countless hardships and obstacles that he had to overcome one by one.

Bi Fan secretly vowed to become stronger and never return to the days of constant humiliation.

The Divine Speed Talisman was very fast. In less than a day, Jing Feng and Bi Fan returned to Qingyang Town.

"Brother Jing Feng, I'm going back to the mountain. Do you want to come with me?" Bi Fan asked.

"You go back first. I'm planning to go out and train for a while. I can't fall behind Jiang Wen. In the next ranking, I must surpass him," Jing Feng said, his eyes firm and filled with passionate fighting spirit.

Bi Fan said, "Brother Jing Feng, be careful with everything. I'm heading back."

Bi Fan took his leave and hurried back to Qingyang Mountain alone.

On the way up the mountain, Bi Fan practiced the basic footwork of Misty Dance, and his speed increased significantly.

Before dark, Bi Fan finally reached the foot of the mountain.

He took out his token, got on an Immortal Crane, and ascended the mountain.

Riding the Immortal Crane again, Bi Fan felt calm, contemplating his future path.

Now, Bi Fan had cultivated Inner Breath and could be considered a person of the Inner Breath Realm.

After returning to the mountain, he could participate in the Registered Disciple selection and would definitely become a Registered Disciple.

He didn't care too much about the identity of a Registered Disciple; he was more focused on how to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

The Nine Nether Hidden Dragon Ranking required a minimum of the Valiance Realm to be listed, and Bi Fan was still very far from it.

Lost in thought, Bi Fan unknowingly returned to Jade Maiden Peak.

Bi Fan took out the package he had prepared long ago and slung it over his back.

During this trip down the mountain, Bi Fan had gained quite a few benefits. He didn't want to make a big deal out of it; keeping quiet and getting rich was the way to go.

In the eyes of those who knew Bi Fan, he was already a quiet person, but only Jing Feng wouldn't think so.

"Bi Fan is back! Did you get the things you needed?" Yu Xiao Feng said with some joy.

"Sister Xiao Feng, everything is in here. I hope all the senior sisters like them," Bi Fan handed the package over.

Yu Xiao Feng said, "Bi Fan, you've worked hard. Go back and rest. Tomorrow, you'll continue to be responsible for taking care of the Medicine Garden."

Bi Fan returned to his residence and began his daily cultivation.
