Dashing Student-Chapter 1109: Heaven-Reaching Array

In the backyard of the Immortal Music Medical Hall, the old man learned Chen Nan’s name and then asked where Chen Nan’s family was from.

What Chen Nan said were naturally details about Chen Han.

This is why he needed to find an identity with a clear background.

It’s because he wants to join the Yama Hall; they will investigate three generations of ancestors to ensure he’s not a spy from another faction.

He had already interrogated this information from other assassins, hence he was prepared.

Moreover, regarding other matters about Chen Han, Chen Nan refrained from speaking.

Still, it’s for the same reason: only the information they uncover themselves will be more credible than that which he reveals.

"Young brother, since you’ve come to Immortal Camel City, why not take a good walk around first? I will report this matter upwards; if there’s any news, you’ll be informed."

"Rest assured, no matter where you are, we’ll know."

Unintentionally showcasing the strength of the Yama Hall, the old man felt quite proud, while Chen Nan maintained a calm expression, merely nodded, and left the Immortal Music Medical Hall.

He knew that the Yama Hall would now investigate his identity, and he needed to take this time to make some preparations.

Immortal Camel City, as an oasis city in the desert, has a rather rugged architectural style, quite different from other states.

Chen Nan experienced the local customs and slowly made his way to the marketplace.

The goods sold here are the necessities for cultivators, with various heavenly and earthly treasures, spiritual medicines, all available, even more comprehensive than the Immortal Cultivation Market he visited before.

After all, the population of Xuanmo State is the least in the Nine Provinces, yet the richness of cultivation resources is among the top.

Chen Nan put on a straw hat, then donned the sand-blocking robe unique to Xuanmo State, hiding his face in the shadows.

After wandering for a good two hours, he acquired three types of spiritual medicines, and combined with what he carried, it was enough to complete a pill recipe.

Soul Stabilizing Pill.

This is a Sixth Grade Elixir, with effects that allow a cultivator to see through illusion, calm the mind and soul, and avoid interference from illusion techniques.

Typically, the Soul Stabilizing Pill is consumed when breaking through to a Great Realm, which increases the chances of overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Previously, when Chen Nan broke through to the Golden Core Stage, he was confident the Heart Demon Tribulation would pose no obstacle to him, besides not having enough spiritual medicines on hand.

Yet concerning the Heart Demon Tribulation, Chen Nan was still wary; if not for his firm Dao Heart, he might have been affected, descending eternally into hell.

Now, Chen Nan is refining the Soul Stabilizing Pill to prepare for the impending investigative methods of the Yama Hall.

He found an inn to stay in and, after entering the room, with a thought, nine-sided array flags suddenly flew from his body, landing in various corners of the room.

"Heaven-Reaching Array."

He murmured, and an array suddenly formed, a barrier engulfing the entire room.

"Much more convenient indeed."

Seeing the array form, Chen Nan nodded in satisfaction.

Other array masters need to calculate celestial stems and earthly branches, coordinate with the intricacies of the setup location to establish an array.

The higher-level the array, the more complicated the preparation required.

But Chen Nan’s training in "Heaven-Reaching Array" bypasses those cumbersome steps, forcefully establishing an array with exquisite precision.

Others will organize arrays to match the power of heaven and earth, yet the "Heaven-Reaching Array" boldly demands heaven and earth’s power to coordinate with the array, aiming for speed and quality.

Of course, to deploy "Heaven-Reaching Array," one must first break through the Golden Core Stage, only then can barely borrow the power of heaven and earth to assist in array setup.

With Chen Nan’s current cultivation, instantly deploying an Eighth Grade Array is already the limit.

Although the Divine Calculator can be tricky, the magic and secret techniques he produces are formidable indeed.

After setting up the array, Chen Nan took out the Heavy Mountain Pill Furnace that had always accompanied him.

Ever since he brought the pill furnace out from the Ancient Realm Secret Realm, he mostly used it to hit people rather than for alchemy.

This is somewhat of a mix-up of priorities.

Chen Nan patted the pill furnace, chuckled, "Rest assured, I’ll use you for alchemy from now on, not for battle."

Afterward, with a flick of his finger, the Mo Ying Flame and Heaven-Burning Flame directly fell into the pill furnace, soon blazing fiercely.

The room temperature suddenly surged upwards.

Yet with the isolating array, nothing outside could sense what was happening inside the room.

Retrieving all the spiritual medicines he’d gathered, Chen Nan took a deep breath; he feared his alchemy skills might have grown rusty.

Fortunately, during his time at Qingshan Sect, he practiced alchemy to the point of exhaustion, forming muscle memory in his body.

Furthermore, after advancing to the Golden Core Stage, his divine thought was thoroughly transformed into divine sense, no longer a pseudo divine sense of the Fake Pill Stage.

A powerful divine sense, combined with alchemy muscle memory, gradually turned each spiritual medicine thrown into the pill furnace into pure essence.

Moreover, now refining a Sixth Grade Elixir felt quite familiar, as if everything was under his control.

"Perhaps, it’s time to attempt refining a Fifth Grade Elixir."

Chen Nan muttered softly.

An hour later, a rich pill fragrance wafted from the pill furnace, causing a sudden flash of joy on Chen Nan’s face, the flame inside the pill furnace turning violent in an instant.

And at that moment, he suddenly reached into the pill furnace, grabbing a round pill that appeared in his hand.

The pill even bore faint patterns.

This is pill patterns; only pills of perfect quality will exhibit pill patterns, making them slightly more potent than those without.

Now that Sixth Grade Elixirs display pill patterns, Chen Nan was ready to try refining Fifth Grade Elixirs.

Fifth Grade Alchemists are exceptionally rare across the Nine Provinces Continent, each one highly respected, admired by many.

And Chen Nan, not even fifty years old yet, if news spread, who knows how many eyes would be astonished.

With the Soul Stabilizing Pill refined, the concerns in Chen Nan’s heart had vanished, now simply waiting for the Yama Hall people to seek him out.

The mysterious expert he crafted is meant to assist him in smoothly joining the Yama Hall, taking over Chen Han’s identity to deal with the Yama Hall’s scrutiny.

If this doesn’t work, Chen Nan would have to think of another way.

He intended to join the Yama Hall for two purposes: one, to obtain various powerful magic from within the Hall.

After all, as an ancient organization passed down to the present, the depth of their heritage is immeasurable; the quantity of magic and secret techniques they hold must be astounding.

Especially the "Heaven-Slaying Art," it’s an essential item to resolve the flaws of the "Taotie Technique"; he must acquire it no matter what.

The other matter is due to the assassination attempt he previously encountered in the Heavenly Border.

At that time, he truly was killed, only resurrected due to the "Nine Tribulations" of the King of Ten Thousand Gu.

This is a blood feud, one that must be avenged.

Thus, he needs to infiltrate the Yama Hall, find the assassin who tried to kill him, and the mastermind behind directing the assassination.
