Dashing Student-Chapter 1126: Penglai Secret Realm

The Little Clan Leader’s heart was filled with terror. The man before him, capable of piercing through his vestment robe and defensive spiritual artifact with such ease, was definitely someone he couldn’t afford to provoke.

"Who are you? Did I offend you before?"

"You don’t need to know who I am, just know that I’m here to kill you." Chen Nan replied calmly, "Aren’t you going to take me to your secret chamber?"

The Little Clan Leader had already given up hope, but upon hearing Chen Nan’s words, hope rekindled in his eyes, and he hurriedly gestured for him to proceed.

"Senior, please follow me. I’m willing to give all my possessions to you, just to spare my life."

Chen Nan did not respond. Instead, he entered the secret chamber, where he was slightly surprised to see piles of Spirit Stones and several Eighth-grade Spiritual Artifacts, along with Eighth and Ninth-grade Elixir Pills, and Magic.

It was unimaginable for a small family to accumulate such wealth.

"Senior, I’m willing to trade everything I have for my life." The Little Clan Leader directly knelt in front of Chen Nan.

He didn’t know who had sent this person to kill him, but as long as he could survive, he was willing to pay any price.

Chen Nan remained silent, going through the magic techniques to see if there was anything he could use.

Realizing that his offer wasn’t sufficient, the Little Clan Leader gritted his teeth and pulled out a Beast Skin Scroll from his chest, saying, "Senior, this is a Treasure Map I obtained by chance, related to Immortal Mountain Penglai, and I wish to offer it to you."

Chen Nan slightly frowned, looking a bit surprised, and took the Beast Skin Scroll to inspect it, discovering a mystical herb drawn on it.

The mystical herb had three curved leaves, with a moon design drawn above them.

"Is this... the Moonlight Immortal Grass?" Chen Nan couldn’t help but exclaim.

The Moonlight Immortal Grass, a Fifth Grade Spiritual Medicine, was precisely what Chen Nan had been longing for.

Previously, he had obtained the "Heaven-breaking Body" technique from a copper plate, but it required a Fifth Grade Spiritual Medicine as a catalyst to perfect his physique and achieve the true "Heaven-breaking Body."

However, Fifth Grade Spiritual Medicines were extremely rare, coveted even by Nascent Soul Old Monsters. If found, they would undoubtedly be acquired by a Nascent Soul.

Therefore, seeing the drawing of the "Moonlight Immortal Grass" on the Beast Skin Scroll left Chen Nan incredibly excited.

Seeing Chen Nan’s excitement, the Little Clan Leader was slightly relieved, thinking that offering the Treasure Map would save his life, and quickly said, "Senior, these are all my offerings to you, please spare my life."

Chen Nan sneered coldly, put away the Treasure Map, and said, "Foolish. Killing you, all of these are still mine!"

The Void Breaking Sword sliced through the air with a cold gleaming edge, piercing the Little Clan Leader’s abdomen, shredding his Dantian, then swirling back to penetrate his forehead.

With two strikes, not even immortals could save him.

Chen Nan collected all the items in the secret chamber, including millions of low-grade Spirit Stones, tens of thousands of mid-grade Spirit Stones, and several thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.

It was incredible for a small family to accumulate so much wealth, but now all of it conveniently belonged to Chen Nan. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

After accomplishing his goal, Chen Nan quickly left, heading straight towards his next target.

...

In just half a month, Chen Nan returned to Immortal Music Medical Hall, completing and handing in all the tasks.

The middle-aged man’s face was somewhat displeased, his voice trembling as he said, "You... you really completed them all?"

"Didn’t someone specifically go to investigate? Could I possibly fake it?" Chen Nan impatiently retorted.

The middle-aged man sighed and shook his head. Ever since Chen Nan had taken all the D-level tasks in a day, and one of the targets, the Little Clan Leader, was killed that night, he knew this assassin from the Main Hall was not to be trifled with.

"Of course, I don’t doubt you, but completing all the D-level tasks at once leaves the D-level assassins in Yingzhou with nothing to do."

Chen Nan shrugged indifferently and said, "That’s not my problem. Steward, hurry up and give me my rewards."

The middle-aged steward had no choice but to hand over the task bounties and merits to Chen Nan. As he sent Chen Nan off, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don’t ever come to Yingzhou again, go mess with another state’s assassins!"

Chen Nan ignored the steward, instead finding a place to take out the Beast Skin Scroll. After various inquiries over this period, he finally understood where the location recorded on the Beast Skin Scroll was.

In Yingzhou, there were several immortal mountains, one of which was called "Penglai Immortal Mountain," a Secret Realm, open year-round, but not everyone could enter.

Strong restrictions existed within the immortal mountain, suppressing anyone from the Golden Core Stage or Nascent Soul Stage to below the Golden Core Realm’s Third Level Cultivation once inside.

Recently, the Secret Realm within the Immortal Mountain was radiating starlight, with flocks of cranes and clouds surrounding it, believed to signal the emergence of a treasure.

Therefore, numerous cultivators were flooding into the Penglai Immortal Mountain Secret Realm, seeking a share of the spoils.

The location described on Chen Nan’s Beast Skin Scroll was within a place inside the Penglai Immortal Mountain.

Although the Penglai Secret Realm now resembled a whirlpool of trouble, Chen Nan had to make the trip for the complete version of the Heaven-breaking Body.

"This Fifth Grade Spiritual Medicine is mine for the taking!"

The Penglai Immortal Mountain Secret Realm, from a distance, appeared like a mirage, a magnificent and towering mountain, wreathed in clouds and immortal auras.

In reality, the mountain could be seen but not touched, for it existed only within the Secret Realm and was merely a projection to the outside world.

There was a white whirlpool in front of the projection, the entrance to the Penglai Secret Realm.

Ordinarily, anyone could enter the Penglai Secret Realm, but since an anomaly had appeared within it, rumored that a Secret Treasure was about to surface, several top sects and families in Yingzhou had dispatched people to blockade it.

Except for the people from those major sects and families, no one else was allowed to enter the Secret Realm.

Chen Nan, watching the entrance to the Secret Realm from afar, felt a bit irritable. He couldn’t even get in, let alone search for the Moonlight Immortal Grass.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a few figures in the distance, recognizing a familiar young man among them, and after some thought, sneered coldly.

"The Sun Family... it’s time to collect some interest."

The young cultivator was unmistakably from the Sun Family, whom he had seen before outside the Ancient Realm Secret Realm.

Back then, among those pursuing him were the Wang Family, Sun Family, and Zhang Family. Clearly, in the Ancient Realm Secret Realm, he had a decent relationship with the talents from the Sun and Zhang families without wiping them out.

But once they left the Secret Realm, led by the Wang Family, the Sun and Zhang families unhesitatingly supported the Wang Family in betraying Chen Nan.

Not only did they send people to hunt him down, but they also regarded Chen Nan as an enemy.

Now that Chen Nan had encountered them, there was no reason to let them go!
