Time gradually passed.
Five hours later, Qin Nan groaned as he slowly opened his eyes.
“Splendid!”
Qin Nan let out a deep breath with a smile.
Although he was drunk, he felt well-rested, thus granting him a pleasant feeling.
“I should take a look at my body!”
Qin Nan immediately inspected the nine Martial Trees.
After five hours of absorbing, the pure Qi and the force of the Ownerless Martial Trees had been thoroughly absorbed, allowing the nine Martial Trees to grow another half-a-zhang taller while their leaves thickened together with their intent.
Although the Martial Trees did not have another breakthrough in the end, Qin Nan did not feel disappointed at all.
The reason being that every layer was significantly harder than the one before it.
Withdrawing his gaze, Qin Nan immediately scanned his surroundings and was left in shock.
What happened?
Why was he lying on a bed?
And covered in a blanket?
“Where’s the Princess? Why isn’t she here?” Qin Nan scanned the place with his Divine Sense and failed to discover the Princess’ figure, causing his heart to sink. He immediately went out of the Lunar-Glow Cave and asked the leader of the Black Dragon, “Where did the Princess go?”
“Princess Miao Miao has already left, but before that, she told us to follow your orders! Qin Nan, congratulations!” The people of the Black Dragon stared at him jealously.
“Left?”
Qin Nan was startled. For some reason, he felt a little down after hearing this.
On second thought, the Princess was the successor of the Lost Herb Garden, thus he should be satisfied that she was able to accompany him the past few days.
“By the way, did you say congratulations? What’s that for?”
Qin Nan suddenly realized something and subconsciously glanced at his chest.
On his chest was a blossoming red flower. From it, he could feel that the Princess’ aura was extremely calm despite the distance between them.
“The Heart-Binding Seal, the Pure Magical Wine, the toasts, the drawings, and the bed…”
Qin Nan’s face instantly blushed.
He had never been an expert on romance, but he was aware of the thing that had happened.
The Princess had purposely tried to make him drunk, and in the end…
She had bedded him!
“This…this Princess…how…how could she!”
Qin Nan completely lost his ground, as he never thought that it would end up like this!
However, on second thought, Why did he feel happy instead of being reluctant?
“Forget it, this can wait. I should settle the Black Dragon first!”
Qin Nan immediately shook his head to get rid of the thoughts and said to the people of the Black Dragon, “Since the Princess has let me take care of you, how about this, go and find the leader of the Red Scorpion, and show them this badge.”
“The Red Scorpion?”
The people of the Black Dragon wore unpleasant looks.
They had fought with the Red Scorpion for a long time, and now Qin Nan was asking them to submit to the Red Scorpion?
Impossible!
“Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to submit to them. The leader of the Red Scorpion is my brother. I’m only asking you to talk with him, as there’s no need for you two to fight each other anymore.” Qin Nan calmly said.
“The Red Scorpion is your brother?”
The people of the Black Dragon were dumbfounded.
They clearly knew how talented the leader of the Red Dragon was.
It seemed like they had completely underestimated Qin Nan’s capabilities.
“Off you go!”
Qin Nan waved his hand.
The people of the Black Dragon nodded and left with Qin Nan’s badge.
“I shall take a look at the Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder.”
Qin Nan pondered for a while before returning to the Lunar-Glow Cave.
Not only did the Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder possess a formidable force, suitable for his cultivation, there was something strange about it that he was curious to inspect as well.
Qin Nan blushed as he saw the bed and the mink blanket in the cave. He let out a cough and kept them inside his ring after a slight hesitation.
“Calm down, calm down…”
Qin Nan mumbled to himself as he went up to the Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder and reached out his hand.
BANG!
A strong energy burst out from the boulder and attacked Qin Nan.
Qin Nan was well-prepared for this. He easily dodged the attack with a slight movement.
“Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder, I know that you have your own consciousness. Why don’t we make a deal, I’ll give you Vital Qi, and you’ll assist my cultivation, how’s that? For your information, I’ve got at least a hundred streams of Vital Qi with me.” Qin Nan said as he unleashed a stream of Vital Qi from his palm.
The Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder fell silent, as if it were considering the offer, before uttering a buzz.
Qin Nan let out a relieved sigh. He had guessed right; the Vital Qi was extremely attractive for the spiritual things of this world like it.
“I’ll give you twenty streams.”
Qin Nan gave the boulder twenty streams of Vital Qi with a flick.
The Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder shuddered and emitted a pure force, turning the entire Lunar-Glow Cave into a cultivation ground.
“As expected of the Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder, the chaotic intent and the pure Qi will speed up my cultivation process by five times!”
Qin Nan was overjoyed. He sat down on the ground and unleashed the Divine Battle Spirit, absorbing the force into his body.
As he was cultivating, the Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder was experiencing a shocking change as well, causing its surface to flicker, as if it was nurturing its intelligence.
“The boulder is being really cautious toward me, I should probably ask after it has nurtured its intelligence.”
Qin Nan murmured as he withdrew his left eye.
He would not want to infuriate the Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder now.
Time gradually passed.
Qin Nan focused on cultivating, comprehending the Monarch Arts and improving the Martial Trees.
Finally, eight hours later, the Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder suddenly trembled vigorously as its force transformed into a giant hand that tapped on Qin Nan’s shoulder.
“Mm? The crucial moment has arrived?” Qin Nan quickly inspected the Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder and learned of its intention. It was in the crucial moment of nurturing its intelligence, thus it needed Qin Nan’s help.
Qin Nan’s eyes flickered as he fired fifty streams of Vital Qi with a flick.
BANG!
The Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder let out a brilliant glow.
The three mountains surrounding the valley began to tremble.
Inside the boulder, a puff of colorful mist the size of a fist slowly appeared, which slowly took the shape of a human.
“Than…thanks…” The colorful figure said with a deep voice.
“No worries.” Qin Nan pondered before he probed, “Forgive me for asking, I’ve discovered a strange force inside your body. What is it?”
A shocking murderous intent burst out from the Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder, causing the temperature of the cave to drop rapidly.
Qin Nan remained calm.
A while later, the murderous intent was finally withdrawn as the colorful figure began to speak, “Who would have thought… You’re able to…detect it. It’s actually a portal…which will bring you to the Desolated Battle Spirit.”
“The Desolated Battle Spirit?”
Qin Nan was shocked.
