Chen Nan was certain!
The radiance in the sea of fire originated from the melting mountains!
It did not come from Wang Sen!
After all, he, along with everything he possessed, had vanished into eternity!
Whoosh!
Chen Nan descended through the air!
A celestial aura permeated his body, extinguishing the surrounding flames!
Then!
He bent down and picked up the bronze token from the ground!
The token bore mysterious dao patterns!
And it exuded an extremely powerful aura!
The power of this aura was the greatest he had ever witnessed!
"How can such immense power exist in this world?"
Chen Nan found it incredible!
The magnitude of this power exceeded his imagination!
It absolutely did not belong to this realm!
"Young man, congratulations on becoming my fated one. Simply drip your blood to acknowledge me as your master and you shall receive my legacy, embarking on a path to become an invincible powerhouse who roams the world unchallenged!" an aged voice echoed from within the token!
Chen Nan frowned slightly!
Although the other party's voice was aged, it carried an inexplicable excitement!
Even though it was deeply concealed, Chen Nan had detected it!
He knew!
This token was peculiar!
The other party's eagerness for him to drip blood and become its master surely hid a conspiracy!
If he were to follow the instructions!
The consequences would be unimaginable!
"Azure Dragon, do you know the origin of this token?" Chen Nan transmitted to Azure Dragon!
However, Azure Dragon did not respond.
"I'll put it away for now!"
Chen Nan stored the token in his storage space, then used the Great Roc Technique to return to the capital of the Yan Kingdom.
Chen Nan's appearance brought a sense of immense relief to Hei Long and the others who were waiting for him.
He knew!
Wang Sen must have been dealt with!
"What about the Three Blade Society?" Chen Nan casually inquired!
Hei Long grinned, "Without Wang Sen holding the fort, the Three Blade Society is nothing but a pile of scattered sand. Although their disciples were willing to pledge allegiance to us!"
"I beheaded them all!"
Chen Nan nodded slightly, and after a brief chat, he returned to the Sword Forging Academy.
Nie Yao had not returned to her residence!
She was still in the back mountains.
Upon seeing Chen Nan return with a completely new appearance!
Nie Yao's heart fluttered wildly!
Her heart pounded like a startled deer!
She recalled the events that transpired in the Ten Thousand Monster Cave.
At that time, Chen Nan was chosen as a human seed!
The demon race had forced them to be together!
Although it was absurd!
He had been truly gentle!
He had truly considered their feelings!
"May I ask who you are looking for?" Xia Youwei also noticed Chen Nan and asked curiously!
She had only ever seen Chen Nan after he had gained weight.
She did not know what Chen Nan looked like before.
Nie Yao replied, "He is Chen Nan!"
???
Xia Youwei was dumbfounded, "What? He is Shiye? Shiye is this handsome?"
Xia Youwei was astonished!
Although she had imagined Chen Nan would be handsome before he gained weight, she had never expected him to be so exceptionally good-looking!
Especially his melancholic gaze!
It was like an invisible blade piercing the softest part of her heart!
Love, love, love!
"How is your injury?" Chen Nan looked at Nie Yao!
Nie Yao offered a sweet smile, "The wound has healed. There are still some residual corpse poisons in my body, but they no longer have any significant effect!"
Chen Nan nodded slightly.
The next day!
Chen Nan set up his stall again!
As soon as he arrived at the spot where he had been selling yesterday, the subordinates of the Black Dragon Hall swarmed towards him!
Last night, Hei Long had promised to have his subordinates help sell the blind boxes.
Chen Nan was all for having free labor help out!
After all, hiring the disciples from the Sword Forging Academy cost a thousand high-grade immortal stones daily!
Of course!
In addition to the five hundred disciples dispatched by the Black Dragon Hall!
Feng Yan also brought over a dozen subordinates to help sell blind boxes!
He gave the impression of having undergone a complete transformation!
However!
Chen Nan felt his eagerness was somewhat unbelievable!
Of course!
None of that was important!
The most crucial matter at hand was to sell all the blind boxes and earn eighty-five thousand contribution points!
As the old saying goes!
Many hands make light work!
When there are more people, everything becomes easier!
This was especially evident in the matter of selling blind boxes!
Wherever there was a bustling street in the capital of the Yan Kingdom, people could be seen selling blind boxes!
In Earth terms, it was like a matrix-style promotion!
It propelled the already popular blind boxes to an even higher level!
Five days later!
All the blind boxes were sold out!
Of course!
Many merchants also appeared on the market, selling their own products in the form of blind boxes!
Chen Nan's simple marketing model directly boosted the entire economy of the Yan Kingdom!
------
Xia Youwei was like a devoted fan, her face filled with adoration, "Shiye, you are truly amazing!"
"When I took on the mission, it was stated that eighty-five thousand immortal artifacts were to be sold within three months!"
"But now, it's only been a little over ten days?"
"It's simply incredible!"
Selling eighty-five thousand immortal artifacts in ten days was something she wouldn't have dared to imagine before.
And now!
Chen Nan had achieved it!
Chen Nan smiled, "It's nothing much, just good luck in finding a good marketing model!"
Xia Youwei nodded in agreement!
"You've worked hard these past few days. I'll head to the Merit Hall to submit the mission token first," Chen Nan eagerly went to the Merit Hall, found Elder Cheng, and handed him the mission token and the immortal stones obtained from selling the immortal artifacts.
Elder Cheng had also heard about Chen Nan selling those swords in the form of blind boxes, but he was still astonished when he saw him come to submit the mission token!
It was fortunate that this young man did not go into business!
Otherwise, he would surely have become a figure capable of rivaling a nation in wealth!
Afterwards, Elder Cheng processed the paperwork for Chen Nan.
He also gave him a token!
Similar to a debit card on Earth!
It contained Chen Nan's merit points.
"You now have a total of eighty-five thousand and one hundred merit points. I wonder how you plan to spend this money?" Elder Cheng looked at Chen Nan, a hint of envy in his eyes.
After all!
Not many people possessed eighty-five thousand merit points!
Chen Nan smiled, "I plan to gather enough for one million!"
Elder Cheng chuckled wryly, "Although you are still fourteen thousand nine hundred and ninety points short of one million, accumulating such a large number of merit points in a short period will be quite challenging!"
The mission rewards in the Merit Hall were quite low.
A thousand or so contribution points were considered high.
Although Chen Nan earned eighty-five thousand merit points this time, it was essentially a matter of capitalizing on an opportunity.
"It all depends on one's efforts!" Chen Nan, despite wanting to accumulate one million merit points quickly to purchase clues about the Divine Fire, maintained a calm demeanor.
One should not be too hasty in anything.
After all, the world did not revolve around him.
How could all the good things fall into his lap?
Surely not all good things would fall into his lap, right?
Elder Cheng said earnestly, "Take good care of your jade token, as this token is unregistered!"
"If you accidentally lose it!"
"Or if you are killed!"
"The merit points within will then benefit someone else!"
Chen Nan nodded solemnly!
Those merit points were related to him being able to purchase clues about the Divine Fire!
They were related to whether he could unlock the sixth level of the immortal mansion!
They were related to him prying into the secrets of the Human Emperor!
No matter what, he would protect them!
Subsequently, Chen Nan left the Merit Hall.
But at this very moment!
A familiar figure blocked his path!
It was Sun Yu, the disciple of Cai Jian!
He looked nervous, "Senior Brother Chen, my master requests your presence!"
Chen Nan frowned!
Why was that old scoundrel Cai Jian emerging again?
