Chen Nan said, "Today is a joyous occasion, let's hear the good news first!"
Cang Ning replied, "The mountain protecting spirit beast, the Purple-Eyed Lion, has awakened!"
Chen Nan said, "I had a sense of proportion when I acted, and its awakening was within my expectations!"
Cang Ning's face was full of embarrassment!
Perhaps it was within your expectations, but we didn't know if it would wake up!
If anything were to happen to it, it would have been a great loss for the Huashan Sword Sect!
"What is the bad news?" Ruo Lan asked.
Cang Ning said, "Although that Purple-Eyed Lion is a demonic beast, it is an extremely rare existence among demonic beasts. It can hear sounds that many people cannot hear!"
"According to it, it heard the sound of the ground cracking!"
"This is also the reason for its sudden frenzy!"
Chen Nan frowned, and couldn't help but say, "What does the ground cracking refer to? Hell?"
Cang Ning solemnly nodded, "Hell is about to collapse. This is an unavoidable catastrophe. Although some cultivators escaped earlier, they were all at the Foundation Establishment stage!"
"Now that the ground is cracking, it means that the rules of hell are experiencing a major loophole!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, powerful experts at the Golden Core stage should appear!"
As soon as these words were spoken!
Even Chen Nan felt a great sense of pressure!
With his current strength, if he encountered an expert at the Golden Core stage, he would have no hope of winning!
Let alone protecting the common people!
"Prepare the medicinal ingredients, I need to start refining pills!"
Chen Nan's eyes were firm!
Even if the hope was slim, he had to strive for it!
The strength of the Huashan Sword Sect must be raised to a higher level!
"Also, find the cultivation techniques of the Huashan Sword Sect!"
"Internal cultivation methods are fine, but mainly sword techniques and sorceries!"
He had the "Cai Yin Jue," and this internal cultivation method was superior to any other!
He didn't even care about the Huashan Sword Sect's inherited cultivation method!
"Yes!"
------
In the evening!
Chen Nan sat cross-legged in the room, multitasking!
He was refining pills while also studying those sword techniques and sorceries!
There was one cultivation method that was very interesting!
The Clone Technique!
The Clone Technique had seven levels, and for each level increased, one could create an additional clone!
This sorcery could only be practiced by the successive sect leaders of the Huashan Sword Sect!
Furthermore, to succeed, one needed to possess a pure heart!
"This sorcery is excellent, whether for dealing with enemies!"
"Or for dealing with women, it can have miraculous effects!"
Chen Nan had many confidantes!
Sometimes he even felt overwhelmed.
Take the New Year's Eve for instance!
One battle against four!
Although he found it enjoyable!
He had to neglect three of them!
They had agreed to share his favor equally, but it was impossible to do so in the same bed!
But now it was different!
With the Clone Technique...
Even if three more came, he could take care of them all at the same time!!!
Fortunately, the Clone Technique was just a sorcery!
Coupled with Chen Nan's pure heart, he quickly succeeded in cultivating it!
However!
The Clone Technique had a significant flaw!
The clones could not be too far from the master; if the distance exceeded five hundred meters, they would dissipate!
However, this was sufficient for combat on the battlefield!
"After entering the mid-stage of the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, my mental power has also improved greatly. I am still two swords away from fully mastering the Nine Swords."
"If I can reach the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, mastering the Nine Swords will not be difficult!"
The Nine Swords had not yet shown any powerful aspects!
But he had obtained the Gentleman Sword Technique practiced by the Huashan Sword Sect leader. This sword technique was very strong, and paired with the Gentleman Sword, he would have the strength to fight even against an expert at the pseudo-Core stage!
The next day!
Chen Nan received a call from Xu Qingxin, her voice filled with disbelief: "You really became the new sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect? No way... How did you do it?"
Although Chen Nan had told her before, Xu Qingxin had not taken it to heart at all.
But today, after her mother returned, she told her about Chen Nan's affairs!
Not only her, but the entire Xu family was shocked!
Chen Nan smiled and said, "I became the sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect inexplicably!"
"I miss you. When will you come back? Can I come to find you?" Xu Qingxin missed Chen Nan dearly, as she hadn't seen him since they parted before the New Year.
Chen Nan's face was full of a happy smile: "You wait for me in Jizhou first. It will take me more than ten days to finish here. I'll come back once I'm done!"
He had to refine some pills to improve the strength of the Huashan Sword Sect disciples!
Only then could he relax in the mortal world for a few days!
"Okay!"
Xu Qingxin agreed immediately.
She was in a good mood. Her mother no longer constrained her and Chen Nan!
This feeling of being blessed by a close relative was really good!
Cultivation!
Alchemy!
Although Chen Nan's cultivation had not improved at all!
His combat power had increased significantly!
Besides that, he also diligently studied the Divine Talisman Technique!
However, his progress was not very significant!
It took him a week to refine over three thousand Body Quenching Pills. With these pills, even if he improved his cultivation by taking pills, he would not have to worry about affecting his foundation!
In addition, he also refined many Foundation Establishment Pills!
And over a hundred Spirit Nurturing Pills!
When he walked out of the room and saw the warm sun outside!
He couldn't help but stretch.
"Spring has returned to the earth. The girls at the foot of the mountain should be wearing stockings by now, right?" Chen Nan muttered to himself, a sense of yearning rising in his heart.
He had already decided!
When he returned, he would have his confidantes wear stockings of different colors, and then he would use the Clone Technique to play with them!
"What are stockings?" Ruo Lan walked over.
Looking at her in a white robe, Chen Nan said, "It's so hot, aren't you hot wearing such heavy clothes?"
Ruo Lan said expressionlessly, "Are you going to say that if I'm hot, I should take them off?"
"I swear to heaven, I absolutely had no such intention!" Chen Nan said earnestly, then added, "As for stockings... they are a type of clothing that women in the mortal world like and are obsessed with. Wearing them can enhance one's personal temperament."
"If you like them, I can bring you a couple when I come back next time!"
He was really looking forward to seeing how the classical beauty Ruo Lan would look in stockings!
She must be very captivating, right?
Seeing Ruo Lan's hesitant look, Chen Nan said, "Forget it, you are different from women in the mortal world. You can't accept that style of clothing at all."
Ruo Lan snorted displeasedly, "How do you know I can't accept that style of clothing if you don't buy it?"
Chen Nan's lips curved upwards, "Then I'll bring you two sets?"
Ruo Lan nodded indifferently.
She believed that her temperament was already outstanding.
If stockings could really enhance one's temperament and charm, she wouldn't mind trying them?
Chen Nan took out the refined pills, all of them in a storage bag, and handed them to Ruo Lan: "These are the pills I refined during this period. Give them to Cang Ning and have him distribute them to the disciples of the sect!"
"I'll go back to the mortal world for a few days first. If anything happens, you can contact me!"
"Sect Leader, there's a video you should watch!"
Cang Jue, the Third Elder guarding the mountain, came over with a mobile phone, opened the video, and handed it to Chen Nan.
Chen Nan became furious, a malevolent aura shot straight up to the sky: "Damn it, how could this happen?"
