Chen Nan sat cross-legged!
He picked up a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb and began to eat it like a radish!
The terrifying medicinal effects instantly exploded in his dantian and surged towards his limbs and bones!
Then it was like a stone sinking into a vast ocean!
"No signs of breakthrough?" Yan Guang asked curiously!
Chen Nan shook his head!
Under normal circumstances, an ordinary person, if they could obtain a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb and consume it slowly, would definitely be able to enter the Earth Immortal realm!
And he himself already had the cultivation of the peak of the Mahayana stage!
At this time!
A ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb would be completely capable of helping him break through the bottleneck!
Yet now, there was no sign of the bottleneck loosening at all!
It was a bit bizarre!
Yan Guang: "Don't be discouraged, try again!"
Chen Nan grunted!
Then he consumed the second ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb!
A moment later, he said, "Still no feeling!"
"Eat more!"
Chen Nan continued to ingest the herbs!
"Still no feeling!"
"Eat more!"
------
The sun set behind the mountains!
Chen Nan had already consumed ten ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs!
However!
He showed no signs of a breakthrough!
At this moment!
Even Yan Guang and Tu An felt it was strange!
These ten ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs could completely cultivate a strong expert at the Immortal level!
Yet this fellow showed no signs of breaking through the bottleneck!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it no matter what!
Yan Guang's face was gloomy: "Go, fetch those few twenty-thousand-year-old medicinal materials!"
"I don't believe in evil!"
"Today, no matter what, I must let my brother possess an immortal body!"
Tu An had just gotten up!
When he heard Chen Nan say, "No need!"
Yan Guang and Tu An's hearts leaped with joy!
"What? You have signs of a breakthrough?"
"Hiccup~~~" Chen Nan's face was full of embarrassment: "No signs of breakthrough, I just feel full and can't eat anymore!"
Tu An wanted to curse!
To feel full from eating ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs!
Was this even human language!
Yan Guang said: "There's a proverb among your humans, strike while the iron is hot, we must push forward with all our might and break through the bottleneck! Tu An, go, bring all my stock!"
Five minutes later!
Five twenty-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs appeared before Chen Nan!
Three thirty-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs!
And two forty-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs!
And one fifty-thousand-year-old spiritual herb!
Yan Guang smiled: "Brother, no need to say anything else, eat!"
"Don't be polite!"
"Brother has nothing else, just plenty of spiritual herbs!"
Chen Nan was helpless!
He could only force himself to eat!
Watching the spiritual herbs being consecutively consumed by Chen Nan, yet showing no signs of breakthrough!
Yan Guang's mouth twitched!
Especially after seeing Chen Nan finish the fifty-thousand-year-old spiritual herb!
The expression on his face froze!
This was all his stock!
Gone!
All gone!
It wasn't that he felt pity for these spiritual herbs!
If he did, he wouldn't have taken them out for Chen Nan!
But the problem was that after eating so many spiritual herbs!
He still hadn't broken through...
To speak from the bottom of his heart!
Even if these medicinal materials were thrown into the divine spring behind the mountain, one could at least hear a splash!
But why was it like this now?
He didn't know!
Yan Guang's eyes were complex: "Do you feel any discomfort?"
"A bit full... hiccup..." Chen Nan's face was full of shame. He felt quite sorry for Yan Guang for not breaking through after consuming so many of Yan Guang's rare spiritual herbs!
Yan Guang patted his shoulder and said softly, "Brother, you don't need to have any psychological burden. It's just a dozen rare spiritual herbs, it's no big deal!"
"You don't need to feel like you've wronged me, nor do you need to dwell on it!"
"After all... I'm the one who feels the worst!"
???
Chen Nan looked incredulous!
He could comfort people like this?
Yan Guang laughed heartily: "Just kidding, a mere dozen spiritual herbs, it's really no big deal!"
"As for your situation, although I've never heard of it!"
"But!"
"There's a proverb among your humans that is right, existence is reasonable!"
"The fact that you can consume a dozen spiritual herbs without any discomfort shows that your body is very strong!"
"It's also possible that you have a forbidden physique!"
Chen Nan couldn't help but ask, "What is a forbidden physique?"
Yan Guang countered, "Have you heard of achieving sainthood in one step?"
Chen Nan shook his head!
Although he had read many books about the immortal world!
He had never heard of achieving sainthood in one step!
Yan Guang continued, "Legend has it that there are mighty beings who can achieve sainthood in one step with a mortal body, transcending the three realms and escaping the cycle of reincarnation. Such people are called forbidden physiques. They all have a common characteristic, which is... forget it, I can't make it up anymore..."
Chen Nan was listening intently, and when he heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
Yan Guang laughed heartily: "Alright, you've eaten so many spiritual herbs, digest them first! By the way, it's been a long time since I've eaten your cooking. I'll come over tomorrow night, make arrangements!" With that, he gave Chen Nan a knowing look!
He truly missed Chen Nan's culinary skills!
"Okay, I'll make a few of my signature dishes tomorrow!" Chen Nan readily agreed!
After eating over a dozen of his rare spiritual herbs!
Isn't it natural to make a few signature dishes!
Then Yan Guang and Tu An left!
"Boss, what the hell is that guy? He ate so many medicinal materials from our Bird Race's inheritance, and he still hasn't broken through!" Tu An was on the verge of tears!
Yan Guang casually asked, "Are you feeling unfair?"
"Of course!" Tu An: "If you gave me one ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb, I would definitely be able to break through the bottleneck and become a Golden Immortal!"
Yan Guang said, "I have a way to help you break through, it's not by eating spiritual herbs, nor by relying on immortal stones!"
Tu An was overjoyed: "Really?"
Yan Guang nodded: "Brother Chen Nan ate more than ten rare spiritual herbs and definitely can't absorb all of them. Keep an eye on his movements, and see when he defecates!"
"After he defecates, you go and eat it, while it's still warm!"
"I'm guessing there should be residual medicinal effects inside!"
"Although not much, it should be enough to help you break through the bottleneck!"
"Remember, you must eat it while it's still warm!"
Tu An said earnestly: "How do you know to eat shit while it's hot? Have you eaten it before? When was it?"
Yo!
The quiet divine tree suddenly let out a piercing scream!
A large green roc flapped its wings and flew towards the sky, with feathers slowly drifting down!
In the bamboo house!
Chen Nan sat cross-legged, sensing the changes in his body!
It seemed...
His body had become a bit stronger!
But that was all!
There were still no signs of a breakthrough!
"Brother Chen, can I come in?"
Yu Fei's gentle voice came from outside!
Chen Nan: "Come in!" Looking at the book!
Yu Fei pushed the door open, holding two skewers of grilled meat: "Brother Chen, I've roasted some grilled meat!"
"Although the taste is not as good as yours, it can still fill your stomach. You should eat some!"
Chen Nan gave a wry smile: "Uh, well, I really can't eat anymore, you should eat it yourself!"
After swallowing over a dozen spiritual herbs!
He estimated he wouldn't need to eat for the next two days!
Yu Fei felt a little disappointed in her heart. After hesitating, she said with a red face: "Brother Chen, can you stop stealing my bloomers in the future?"
???
Chen Nan was stunned: "What did you say? I stole your bloomers? When did I steal your bloomers?"
