The two-thousand-year-old twin snow lotus contained terrifying medicinal efficacy.
It caused Chen Nan's body to crack.
But as it cracked, it was also rapidly repairing.
This was a very comfortable and wondrous experience.
Ultimately, he withstood the terrifying medicinal effects.
His meridians were also widened again.
If before it was a two-lane road, now it had become a four-lane highway.
Extremely wide, and the speed of his true qi circulation was more than doubled!
Of course.
The most important thing was his cultivation.
He himself cultivated the Yin Absorption Art, and the Yin Lotus he had consumed earlier contained terrifying Yin qi.
After consuming it, it directly transformed into true qi.
Rumble!
He broke through layer after layer of constraints, directly advancing from the first level of Qi Refining to the Great Perfection of the sixth level of Qi Refining!
"Spiritual medicine is truly terrifying. Just one two-thousand-year-old snow lotus allowed me to break through five major realms!" Chen Nan's heart was unable to calm down.
But more than that was joy.
Now that chaos was imminent, only by increasing his strength could he survive.
He could protect his loved ones!
Friends!
He could reclaim that warm jade from Fan Ce and resurrect Nangong Wan!
Of course.
With his current cultivation, if he encountered Fan Ce again.
Even without using those two spiritual artifacts, he could kill him with just the power of his physical body!
He slowly opened his eyes.
Long Ao was lying beside him.
Chen Nan glanced at his wristwatch; this breakthrough had taken three days and three nights.
He hadn't felt hungry while cultivating.
Now that he had woken up, his stomach protested uncontrollably.
He looked at Long Ao, who had also woken up, and revealed a wicked smile: "Sister Ao, how about we go back? Not to mention anything else, at least we need to get something to eat!"
Upon hearing this, Long Ao immediately perked up, gestured for Chen Nan to ride on its back, and then ran out of the cave like a gust of wind.
They arrived at the foot of the mountain where the twin snow lotus grew.
Although they wanted to kill that flood dragon, they didn't know if it was still there.
After all, the environment on the mountain was harsh, and without spiritual items growing, no creature would be willing to stay there.
However.
They sensed a familiar aura.
Of course.
The flood dragon on the mountain peak also sensed the familiar aura.
With a roar.
The flood dragon swooped down from the mountaintop!
It wanted to kill this human and this aquatic beast, only then could it vent its hatred!
After all.
It had guarded here for over a thousand years!
Just as the twin snow lotus was about to mature, it was stolen by someone.
Was it happy?
However.
When it reached the mountainside!
It sensed that the strength of Long Ao and Chen Nan had advanced by leaps and bounds!
Terror flashed in its pupils!
This human and this dog returning were likely up to no good!
It couldn't win, so it could only run!
It turned and fled into the distance!
Unfortunately, its speed was limited on the mountain!
In an instant, Chen Nan and Long Ao appeared behind it.
Whoosh!
Chen Nan directly used the Shadowless Sword.
Even though the flood dragon's scales were tough, they were no match for the attack of a spiritual artifact!
The flood dragon let out a heart-wrenching scream!
Chen Nan felt ashamed; he understood the flood dragon's meaning.
It was saying: "You stole my spiritual medicine and then came back to kill me, you two are really scumbags..."
Chen Nan's eyes were filled with coldness: "Survival of the fittest, the mistake is that we were hungry!"
With that said.
He dismounted from Long Ao.
Long Ao lunged at the flood dragon.
Chen Nan controlled the Shadowless Sword to attack its seven inches!
Boom!
Huge rocks tumbled, and muffled roars erupted!
Long Ao growled!
The flood dragon roared!
The battle was extremely fierce!
After about half an hour, the flood dragon finally stopped breathing.
Many of its scales had been bitten off by Long Ao, making it look quite pathetic!
Long Ao was also injured, but it was nothing to it.
"You only want the snake gall?"
Chen Nan, having learned of Long Ao's intention, retrieved a watermelon-sized snake gall from within the flood dragon.
Long Ao swallowed it in one gulp, its expression... particularly pained.
It almost threw up its dinner from the previous night.
But then a powerful aura erupted from within its body.
Chen Nan cut off about a hundred catties of flood dragon meat.
He threw it into the Heaven Burning Furnace and injected true qi to refine pills.
Previously, his cultivation was too low to inject true qi and refine pills with the Heaven Burning Furnace.
But now it was different.
Although the Great Perfection of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment was not supreme, it was more than enough to refine pills.
Everything could be refined into pills.
Flood dragon meat was no exception, and refining it into pills would be more effective than consuming it directly.
Unfortunately.
From over a hundred catties of flood dragon meat, only ten Spirit Flood Dragon Pills were refined.
The Spirit Flood Dragon Pill was a second-grade pill. Although it was the first time he had refined it, it had five pill patterns, making it a genuine mid-grade pill.
"This flood dragon weighed about ten thousand catties. At a ten-to-one ratio, it could refine about a thousand Spirit Flood Dragon Pills."
Chen Nan swallowed a pill.
It was fresh and fragrant upon entering his mouth.
It even had a slight chewy texture...
Perhaps because this flood dragon lived near the twin snow lotus, the pill also contained the medicinal fragrance of the twin snow lotus.
It lingered in his mouth, with an endless aftertaste!
Of course.
Its medicinal effect was also astonishing, replenishing the true qi he had consumed while refining the Spirit Flood Dragon Pills earlier.
"Sister Ao, do you want some?"
Chen Nan looked at Long Ao.
Long Ao wore a look of disdain.
Chen Nan chuckled sheepishly.
It's good you don't want it.
Then he continued refining.
It took five days and five nights to refine all the flood dragon meat into Spirit Flood Dragon Pills.
Although there were some unintelligent wild beasts during this period, they were so frightened by the sight of Long Ao that they peed their pants and fled immediately.
"Sister Ao, the road of life is long, let us part ways here!"
Chen Nan's purpose in entering Kunlun this time was to find the warm jade.
Although the warm jade he obtained was snatched away by Fan Ce, his gains were not small.
One, there really was such a thing as warm jade.
At least there was hope.
Two, his strength had reached the Great Perfection of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.
With his current strength, he had the ability to protect himself in the mortal world!
Especially the transformation of his body, which made him fearless of cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm.
Furthermore, he had refined over a thousand Spirit Flood Dragon Pills.
Whether for his own consumption or to give away, they were excellent.
Long Ao spat out a Bagua jade disk from its mouth.
"Is this a jade disk for me?" Chen Nan's eyes flashed with surprise. He never expected Long Ao to give him a treasure.
Long Ao nodded, using its mental power to form a voice, a hoarse female voice: "I obtained this by chance. As for what kind of treasure it is, you will have to research it when you get back."
Chen Nan cleared his throat: "Why are you so good to me?"
Perhaps it was because the women around him had developed feelings for him.
At this moment, he was flustered.
He thought Long Ao had designs on him!
Although they were different species, beasts could transform into humans after cultivating to a certain level!
Long Ao: "You helped me, I helped you, it's only right!"
Chen Nan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she wasn't after him.
"Sister Ao, the heavens are about to descend into chaos, take care!" Chen Nan clasped his hands in a salute to Long Ao, then headed east.
He was going to leave Kunlun, find Fan Ce, and then... kill that bastard!
