Dashing Student-Chapter 1338: Spoils After the Battle

The demon cultivators were completely driven away, restoring tranquility to Ten Thousand Treasures Island once again. Only now did Chen Nan finally feel at ease.

It must be known that his final trump card was the Space Law hidden in his right eye, and every time he used it, he had to endure tremendous backlash.

The fact that he didn’t have to use it this time was a pleasant surprise.

Inside the city, Xin Zi watched as the demon cultivators departed completely, still in disbelief. It wasn’t until he rubbed his eyes three times that he finally let out a silly laugh.

Everything that happened made him feel like he was dreaming.

"It’s over, did we really survive?"

Everyone in the city began to cheer. They opened the city gates and dismantled the city defense array, rushing out just to catch a glimpse of the man who saved them from the demon cultivator army.

Ning Yu quickly flew over to Chen Nan, tears still staining her face, and directly leapt into Chen Nan’s arms: "You scared me to death, thank goodness you’re okay."

"Promise me, you won’t do anything so dangerous in the future."

Chen Nan chuckled and gently patted Ning Yu’s back: "Don’t worry, this time there was a reason for it, and I was confident."

Ning Yu playfully rolled her eyes at him: "Humph, you’re just showboating."

"But, the man I chose can’t be wrong after all."

At this moment, Xin Zi and the others also gathered in front of Chen Nan, bowing deeply to him: "Envoy, thank you for rescuing everyone on the island; you are our savior."

Chen Nan waved his hand: "You don’t need to call me Envoy, just call me Jue Mingzi."

In his heart, he scoffed; what Envoy, he was just a piece of cannon fodder sent by Yi Mingzi to die, and he couldn’t let this debt go unsettled.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Chen Nan used the excuse that he was tired to break away from the crowd and returned to the city, arriving at the cultivation cave mansion specially selected for him by Xin Zi.

This was also the place with the most concentrated spiritual energy on the island. Even when Envoys from the Righteous Alliance came, Xin Zi was reluctant to let them use it, but now he wished Chen Nan would live here forever.

With Chen Nan present, their Ten Thousand Treasures Island could be considered completely safe.

Chen Nan dismissed the crowd and entered the cave mansion to breathe deeply and focus his mind. Although the battle was arduous, it also gave him a clearer understanding of his own strength.

Moreover, in this battle, he had held nothing back, allowing his cultivation to advance somewhat, especially since he had slain two powerful figures at Golden Core Realm Great Perfection. Simply absorbing the Blood Evil Qi had significantly improved his cultivation.

In the quiet of the cave mansion, he practiced and digested the gains from this battle, and in a flash, three days passed.

The absorbed Blood Evil Qi transformed into the purest mana within his body, slowly coursing through his meridians, and with each circulation, his mana grew stronger.

Finally, he reached a bottleneck. The Golden Core within him began to slowly spin, swiftly absorbing the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy.

Although the spiritual energy here was incredibly dense, it wasn’t nearly enough for Chen Nan. Within just a few breaths, the cave mansion was almost turned into a spiritual energy vacuum by him.

Chen Nan chuckled bitterly: "From now on, it seems I need to cultivate within a spirit vein."

Saying this, he hesitated no longer, retrieving a large quantity of top-grade spirit stones, as now he felt that absorbing top-grade spirit stones was the most efficient; otherwise, he would be delaying his cultivation.

He realized he needed to exchange all his spirit stones for top-grade ones as well.

One by one, the spirit stones turned to dust in his palm, and the spiritual energy around him formed into a vortex; even Xin Zi and the others outside the cave mansion noticed this commotion and looked towards the direction of the cave mansion. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"What’s going on here?"

Deng Yunhe laughed proudly: "No need to be alarmed, this is my brother cultivating. He’s this strong, isn’t it reasonable that the movement would be large when he cultivates?"

Ever since Chen Nan single-handedly repelled the enemy, he’d been saying "my brother" at every turn, fearing others wouldn’t know about his relationship with Chen Nan, something that was quite amusing.

Xin Zi widened his eyes: "Does cultivation really require such a big commotion?"

But considering Chen Nan’s defying strength, he felt relieved: "Yes, this great movement is quite reasonable; after all, extraordinary talents are indeed distinct."

Chen Nan’s breakthrough process only lasted for about half an hour, yet he had absorbed over ten thousand top-grade spirit stones.

The breakthrough took him to Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer Middle Stage, but he wasn’t happy at all.

"Breaking through a small realm requires over ten thousand top-grade spirit stones; I’m almost broke from cultivating!" He shook his head with a bitter smile.

It seemed that in order to cultivate smoothly, he needed to acquire more spirit stones, lots more spirit stones!

After breaking through, Chen Nan took out two storage bags from his body, which belonged to Old Ghost and Lu Xingmian. He had casually collected them after defeating them.

As they were Golden Core Realm Perfect Cultivators, the things in their storage bags shouldn’t be lacking, right?

With an excited heart, Chen Nan opened the storage bags, and the items inside indeed made his eyes light up.

There were at least a hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones alone, along with various demon artifacts, cultivation resources for demon cultivators, all of which were rubbish to Chen Nan.

He casually picked up a jade scroll, pressed it to his forehead, and found it was the Old Ghost’s cultivation of the "Blood Demon Technique"; he casually burned it with a fire.

"Trash cultivation technique."

Then he picked up another jade scroll and found it was Lu Xingmian’s cultivation of the "War Demon Technique," a demon cultivator body refining method.

Although it was very powerful, its drawback was also clear: After cultivating it, as cultivation advanced, one would gradually lose their sanity.

This kind of body refining technique was also scorned by Chen Nan: "Ha, another piece of trash."

After carefully searching, apart from those spirit stones, there really wasn’t much in the two people’s storage bags that caught his eye.

"Oh? These elixir pills are nice."

At the bottom of Lu Xingmian’s storage bag, Chen Nan found two bottles of elixir pills, which turned out to be Seventh Grade Body Tempering Pills for use by body refining cultivators, capable of further refining the physique.

After keeping the elixir pills and spirit stones, he placed the remaining items in another storage bag, thinking that he might sell them altogether if given a chance.

Just as Chen Nan was getting up, the voice of Xin Zi came from outside the cave mansion.

"Sir, I have something to say."

Chen Nan was a bit surprised; Ten Thousand Treasures Island was now safe, so what could the Island Master want with him?

After thinking for a moment, he decided to let Xin Zi into the cave mansion.

"Island Master, what’s the matter?"

Xin Zi smiled slightly: "Sir, I’ve learned from your friends that what you love most are spirit stones. To thank you for saving Ten Thousand Treasures Island, I’ve taken the liberty to bring some to you, please kindly accept them."

Saying this, he presented a storage bag.

Chen Nan took it, scanned it with his divine sense, and found there were a hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones inside, which surprised him greatly; for any Golden Core Realm cultivator, this was a huge sum.

But then thinking about it, Ten Thousand Treasures Island was once a treasure island with incredibly rich resources. Even though most resources had to be handed over to the Righteous Alliance, it wasn’t difficult to find ways to leave some behind.
