One should be kind.
One shouldn't refuse others so easily.
This is too unconscionable.
It goes against heavenly principles!
"Since that's the case, then come with me!" the Nine-Headed Flame Lion said. "You can ride on me."
It feared Chen Nan would escape.
This was precisely why it proposed Chen Nan ride on it.
"Alright!"
Chen Nan dismissed the Somersault Cloud and rode on the Nine-Headed Flame Lion.
Indeed.
Riding on the Nine-Headed Flame Lion was far more convenient and less tiring than controlling the Somersault Cloud.
And it was very soft.
Whoosh!
The Nine-Headed Flame Lion suddenly accelerated, turning into an afterimage, and then carried Chen Nan to a quiet mountain valley.
Even before entering the valley, Chen Nan smelled a refreshing medicinal aroma.
As soon as the man and beast landed, kAnshu伍.ξà
Over a dozen stout male lions emerged from the valley. They were kin of the Nine-Headed Flame Lion, guarding the medicinal herbs here to prevent humans from entering and taking the divine medicines.
"There are dozens of divine medicines here. I'll protect you while you cultivate!" The Nine-Headed Flame Lion had high hopes for Chen Nan.
It was counting on Chen Nan breaking through to a higher cultivation realm after consuming these divine medicines.
This way,
after it ate him, it would surely be able to break through its bottleneck and reach the God Venerable realm.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Chen Nan smiled and entered the valley. Before his eyes were dozens of medicinal herbs of different varieties.
Blood Ginseng.
Ganoderma.
Immortal Grass.
Blood Bodhi.
These were all renowned divine medicines in the God Realm.
Each medicinal herb contained terrifying divine power.
Chen Nan didn't hesitate and walked forward, pulling out a Blood Ginseng that was over twenty centimeters long.
This Blood Ginseng wasn't long.
But it had countless fine root hairs, as thin as silk, crystal clear.
He activated his divine power, and the soil on the Blood Ginseng instantly vanished.
Then, Chen Nan began to chew it with large bites, as if eating a carrot.
Crunch, crunch!
The crisp chewing sounds echoed continuously.
The divine power contained within the Blood Ginseng slowly flowed into Chen Nan's body.
However, it wasn't enough to break through his current realm.
Only after consuming ten divine medicines.
The divine power flowing within him, under his control, transformed into a surging river.
Rumble, rumble!
Chen Nan sat cross-legged, his body radiating dazzling rays of light.
Roaring sounds like crashing waves echoed within his body.
Breaking through this matter…
Chen Nan was very familiar with it.
Especially the "nine light, one hard" technique,
which he deeply understood.
As nine sounds like crashing waves echoed.
A faint 'pop' sound came from within Chen Nan.
It was as if a membrane…
No.
It was as if a balloon had been punctured by a needle.
Following that.
Chen Nan's aura surged.
He was like an ancient god descending.
Making the void tremble.
Making the stars in the night sky sway precariously.
"Not bad, not bad. This fellow didn't disappoint my expectations and successfully entered the Mid God King realm!" The Nine-Headed Flame Lion showed a relieved smile.
It didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at all.
"Youngster, continue cultivating!"
"I look forward to you reaching the Upper God King realm." The Nine-Headed Flame Lion suppressed the desire to eat Chen Nan immediately, wanting to swallow him whole when he reached the Upper God King realm.
These养成类 (raising type) games are quite interesting~~~
Chen Nan spoke, "Senior, I need to consolidate my cultivation. After my foundation is firm, I will consume other medicinal herbs. Otherwise, it will be difficult to achieve great things."
"What you say makes some sense." The Nine-Headed Flame Lion said, "In that case, this Great King will give you three days to consolidate your cultivation." With that, it found a flat patch of grass and lay down. Soon, even breathing could be heard.
It wasn't worried about Chen Nan escaping.
Because it didn't believe Chen Nan could escape under its nose.
Of course.
Chen Nan didn't intend to escape.
He had finally encountered a pure-bred sucker.
He must cherish this缘分 (fate/connection).
Although this would affect his travel time to the Han Dao Tribe.
But as long as he could become stronger, he didn't care.
After consolidating his cultivation for three days.
Chen Nan consumed other divine medicines again. At the same time, he recited the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, converting the efficacy of the medicinal herbs into divine power. This was a long process.
It took him ten days to refine all the medicinal herbs.
At the same time.
A virtual projection appeared in his mind.
It was an old man with an immortal demeanor, dressed in a grey Daoist robe.
With one hand behind his back, he exuded an ethereal and transcendent aura.
"Who are you?" Chen Nan asked curiously.
The old man calmly said, "My name is Yan Zhou."
Chen Nan frowned.
He had loved the myths of Great Xia since he was young and was very familiar with the figures in those myths.
However.
The name Yan Zhou was very strange to him.
Yan Zhou: "I am a rogue cultivator."
Chen Nan understood.
Qing Long had said that there were some powerful beings in the God Realm who were not on the divine register.
If nothing was unexpected.
Yan Zhou should be one of them.
"This is where I buried myself," Yan Zhou's voice was calm. "You have received my fortune, which shows you and I have a connection. However, my true fortune is not here."
"If you want my fortune, you can go to the Fourth Heaven."
As he finished speaking.
He waved his hand casually, and a jade Ruyi flew towards Chen Nan.
This jade Ruyi was only palm-sized, but it exuded a powerful and ancient aura.
"When you reach the Fourth Heaven, this jade Ruyi will naturally lead you to the fortune I left behind."
"At that time, you will be like a tiger with wings, becoming an supreme overlord controlling the Nine Heavens."
Chen Nan's heart trembled.
If what he said was true.
It would be a good thing for him.
He was going to the Fourth Heaven sooner or later anyway.
When he reached the Fourth Heaven, he might as well search for the fortune Yan Zhou left behind.
Watching Yan Zhou's figure disappear into the depths of his soul.
Chen Nan slowly opened his eyes.
Before him were nine lion heads the size of millstones.
The Nine-Headed Flame Lion was staring at him with cold eyes, not hiding its disappointment: "I thought you would enter the Upper God King realm!"
"But I never expected."
"After consuming so many divine medicines, you are still only a Mid God King."
"What's the difference between you and a cripple?"
"Senior, please calm your anger, please calm your anger!" Chen Nan feigned panic and said, "Although I haven't entered the Upper God King realm, I am now only one step away from the Upper God King."
"Don't worry, I'll see if there are any other divine medicines."
"If there are, after consuming them, I will definitely be able to enter the Upper God King realm."
With that, he quickly searched around.
In fact, Chen Nan was lying.
His current cultivation had already reached the Upper God King realm.
However, he had not broken through because of it.
Instead, he had been suppressing his cultivation.
The reason…
He had finally encountered a big sucker, and he had to take the opportunity to fleece him.
If he could directly enter the God Venerable realm.
His strength would undoubtedly improve by leaps and bounds.
He could learn many spells and divine abilities.
This would be beneficial to him in every way.
Watching Chen Nan search for medicinal herbs, the Nine-Headed Flame Lion sighed inwardly. He was about to reach the Upper God King realm.
In that case.
Why not help him one last time?
Thinking of this, the Nine-Headed Flame Lion spoke human words: "Come back to my mountain with me. I have some treasures there. If nothing unexpected happens, they should allow you to break through your current bottleneck!"
