Jiang Ye: "I heard you just defeated Gao Jun?"
Chen Nan's posture was humble: "Senior Brother Gao showed mercy, and this disciple was fortunate enough to defeat him."
Jiang Ye said: "You don't need to be modest. After all, your talent is truly terrifying. To put it bluntly, you are the number one person in the history of our Huoyun Cave."
"It's nothing major, I just heard about your decisive battle with Gao Jun earlier and wanted to check on a junior."
Chen Nan quickly said: "Thank you for your concern, Senior!"
Jiang Ye: "Ye Ce, your talent is indeed terrifying, but your cultivation is improving too quickly. This is not conducive to your Foundation Establishment later, and might even become a fatal hidden danger."
"Although the young lady has promised to help you refine Body Quenching Pills."
"However, with her skills, it's truly uncertain if she can refine Body Quenching Pills!"
"Since fate has brought us together, this old man will help you!" With that, Jiang Ye took out a black jade bottle and said, "This is a Body Quenching Pill I obtained by chance. I had intended to take it in the late Qi Refining stage, but it seems you need it more than I do!"
He then took out the pill and tossed it to Chen Nan: "Take it, so it's not a wasted encounter between us."
Looking at the black pill in his hand, Chen Nan almost cursed him to his face.
This is a Body Quenching Pill?
Do you really think I can't tell this is a poison?
Damn it!
You must be seeing my extraordinary talent and realizing I'm hard to control, so you want to control me with this pill!
As long as I take this pill, no matter how strong I become in the future, I will have to obey your commands!
"What are you hesitating about? Do you think this is a poison?" A hint of displeasure flickered in Jiang Ye's one eye.
"Senior is mistaken, this junior did not mean that." Chen Nan quickly popped the pill into his mouth.
Seeing him swallow the pill, Jiang Ye was secretly pleased.
Little did he know that the moment the pill entered his mouth, Chen Nan had already collected it into the Burning Heaven Furnace.
But!
He had to pretend to have taken it.
At least, he couldn't show any cracks!
"Pain, my stomach hurts so much. What exactly was that pill?" Chen Nan clutched his stomach, his face contorted.
Jiang Ye sneered: "Did you really think that was a Body Quenching Pill? Hahaha, Ye Ce, Ye Ce, you are too naive, you don't understand the situation in Zhongnan Mountain! In this vast Zhongnan Mountain, no one can refine Body Quenching Pills!"
"To be honest, what you ate was a Myriad Poison Pill."
"Yes, this is a pill refined from ten thousand kinds of venomous insects."
"After taking it, you will experience the pain of your meridians breaking!"
"Why? We have no enmity, why are you doing this to me?" Chen Nan's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
He was full of admiration for Xu Qingxin in his heart.
Acting is really not easy!
Jiang Ye sneered: "Why? Isn't it because your potential is too great? Before, I could still control you, but now, even I might not be able to defeat you?"
"What if you decide to kill me for that spiritual artifact, and I can't defeat you?"
"Ye Ce, I actually didn't want to harm you."
"But, heaven has compassion for all beings."
"I still feel it's necessary to give you a chance!"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you."
"As long as you are willing to be my dog, you won't lack benefits in the future!"
Jiang Ye's idea was simple.
Control Chen Nan.
After all, this person's talent was extraordinary, and his future achievements were bound to be incredibly high.
If it really turned out that way, he would definitely be a great help to him!
He casually threw out a gray pill: "Here, this is the control medicine for the Myriad Poison Pill. Take one every ten days to suppress the poison in your body."
"As long as you are loyal to me, you will definitely not lack the antidote in the future."
Chen Nan hurriedly took the antidote.
His expression also began to recover!
However.
His eyes towards Jiang Ye were filled with killing intent!
Jiang Ye was not angry, after all, he had tricked the other party.
It was normal for him to show killing intent.
"The Myriad Poison Pill is a poison from the Miao territory. No one in our Central Plains region can refine the antidote."
"So, don't even think about refining an antidote to resist me."
"Understand?"
"Of course, you can also inform the young lady about this matter, or even the masters within the sect, and ask them to kill me."
"However, you have to think carefully, once I die, you will be finished!"
"With such excellent talent, are you truly willing to fight me to the death?"
"Alright, you go back and study alchemy properly!"
"When you defeat Shi Haotian, I will take you down the mountain to find Chen Nan and kill him for treasure!"
Chen Nan feigned reluctance: "Disciple takes his leave!"
Bang!
The muffled sound of the door closing represented his mood.
It also made Jiang Ye grin.
"What a simple young fellow, to actually believe that was a Body Quenching Pill!"
"Sigh!"
"The cultivation world is not as friendly as you imagine!"
"You and I are not related, why would I go to such great lengths to help you?"
"Consider today's event as a lesson for you!"
Jiang Ye was in a very good mood.
He hadn't been confident in defeating Chen Nan before.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have found Ye Ce and told him about the Burning Heaven Furnace.
He wouldn't have thought of having him publicize the matter of the Burning Heaven Furnace after his death.
But now.
Ye Ce had become his dog, and could completely be used to kill Chen Nan.
With the strength he had displayed today, killing Chen Nan would be a piece of cake!
Thinking of this.
He felt great!
"Who says you can't have both fish and bear's paw? I now have that spiritual artifact, and I have Ye Ce with immeasurable potential."
"If he truly grows up, his potential will definitely surpass that spiritual artifact!"
Jiang Ye was filled with boundless fantasies and anticipation for the future! kan shu wu. sha
------
"Jiang Ye, oh Jiang Ye, I really can't imagine how your intelligence allowed you to live this long. How can you treat everyone in the world as an idiot?"
"Could it be that my acting skills are too good?"
Jiang Ye's mood was undoubtedly good.
But Chen Nan's mood was even better.
He had once again deceived Jiang Ye.
This kind of intellectual superiority brought more satisfaction than defeating someone with force.
It was like a fine old wine, leaving an endless aftertaste!
Of course.
There was also a hint of regret!
If Jiang Ye had taken him down the mountain immediately, he wouldn't have had to pretend to refine pills with Shi Haotian.
After all, acting was tiring.
More importantly, Nangong Wan was too proactive and enthusiastic towards him.
He was afraid that complications might arise from delays.
Although he admitted he was a scoundrel, he didn't want to hurt Nangong Wan.
In this matter between them, he felt deeply guilty towards Nangong Wan!
It seemed now, he could only wait for the alchemy competition in five days before descending the mountain with Jiang Ye.
After leaving Zhongnan Mountain, he could restore his appearance, give Jiang Ye a good scare, and then point at his nose and mock him.
He had even thought of his lines.
Surprise?
Unexpected?
Then he would kill him, keeping the secret of his possession of the spiritual artifact safe!
After that.
The sky was high and birds could fly!
The sea was vast and fish could leap!
Thinking of this, a glint of excitement flashed in Chen Nan's eyes: "The future is promising!"
