Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 399: Nirvana Talisman

The blood-red fog in the forest dissipated suddenly, and the pressure from the Divine Realm powerhouses vanished in an instant.

Daoist Hei Shan’s face was filled with terror, unwillingness, and disbelief as he fell backward stiffly.

Chen Fan retracted his Flying Swords and flicked his finger. A flame appeared and in the blink of an eye, incinerated Daoist Hei Shan’s corpse completely.

Everyone watched the scene in disbelief, their mouths hanging open wide enough to fit an egg.

"The... The expert from the Divine Realm is just dead like that?" Zhang Shengnan watched Chen Fan in shock. She had only seen a flash of white light before Daoist Hei Shan fell, so she had no idea how Chen Fan had done it.

At the same time, she also realized that if Chen Fan could so easily slay a powerhouse from the Divine Realm, it meant his strength was no less than, if not stronger than, that of the Divine Realm.

This was a mighty being she needed to look up to!

Yet throughout their journey, she had never treated Chen Fan with respect, even mocking him at times to vent her frustrations.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shengnan felt a chill over her entire body and couldn’t help trembling slightly. After all, he was someone who could erase her existence with just a glance, and she had been so rashly contemptuous. She felt that still being alive was a grace bestowed by Chen Fan.

Many others felt a similar shock as Zhang Shengnan, having originally thought Chen Fan was merely Su Qingyan’s follower, only to realize he was the true powerhouse. They felt ashamed of their previous disdainful attitudes.

Li Yunxi was the first to collect her senses and quickly walked up to Chen Fan, clasping her hands in gratefulness, "Noble sir, thank you for your intervention in saving us. I had no idea that Daoist Hei Shan was a Divine Realm expert. If it weren’t for you today, all of us from the outer team might not have made it back!"

Many people followed suit, clasping their hands in thanks to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan waved his hand dismissively, "Daoist Hei Shan was from the Heretical Path, eliminating him was only right. There’s no need for courtesy."

At this moment, Zhang Shengnan approached with her head lowered, falling to her knees before Chen Fan, "I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have looked down on you. I was as ignorant as a frog at the bottom of a well, I was stupid. I hope you can forgive me."

Seeing Zhang Shengnan come forward to admit her mistake, Chen Fan showed a smile, "It’s good that you recognize your errors. I’m not one to hold grudges over trivial matters. As long as you’re not so extreme in the future, that’ll suffice. Get up."

Zhang Shengnan nodded eagerly, her demeanor one of heeding advice, "I will definitely correct my faults!"

Chen Fan no longer paid her any attention but turned to Li Yunxi, "Master Li, there should be something extraordinary inside this cave. I’m currently in need of such items. I’m going to retrieve them now, do any of you have objections?"

Li Yunxi hastened to respond with a smile, "Not at all, not at all. Please take whatever you need, don’t mind us."

The surrounding people echoed with laughter.

With Chen Fan being so powerful, even if they had objections, no one dared to voice them.

Seeing this, Chen Fan no longer stood on ceremony and turned to walk into the cave.

The cave was dark and damp, but bright lights could be seen deep within. As he walked further in, the Spiritual Energy became increasingly rich. It was clear that there were indeed valuable items hidden inside.

Before long, Chen Fan reached the depths of the cave and saw a plant growing on the cave wall, similar to ginseng but quite different, crystal clear throughout.

This plant emitted rays of light intermittently, the brightness he had seen from afar originated from it.

"What is this?" Chen Fan stared at the plant for a long while, unable to identify it.

At that moment, Little Ling’s voice rang out, "Cloud Ginseng, an extremely rare type of Spiritual Medicine, can be used to refine the Complete Tonic Pill and is usually employed to enhance that particular ability."

Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh, "Besides that function, doesn’t it have any other uses?"

Little Ling replied, "No."

Chen Fan showed a mischievous smile, "I bet even if it had, you wouldn’t tell me, right? Are you thinking of absorbing this Cloud Ginseng?"

Little Ling seemed to have had her thoughts seen through, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and fell silent for quite a while.

Seeing that Little Ling didn’t speak, Chen Fan smiled and said, "Don’t worry, this thing is of no use to me at the moment, I had intended to give it to you anyway. But I feel that you’re not the kind of artifact spirit that likes to take advantage of others. I’m giving you this Cloud Ginseng, shouldn’t you give me something in return?"

It was only then that Little Ling said, "Of course, as long as you give me this Cloud Ginseng, I definitely won’t let you suffer a loss."

Chen Fan smiled, then reached out and plucked the Cloud Ginseng from the stone wall, placing it inside the Heavenly Creation Pearl.

He felt that the moment the Cloud Ginseng entered the Heavenly Creation Pearl, it vanished into the mist and disappeared completely.

"The power contained within the Cloud Ginseng is quite pure, and it will allow me to recover quite a bit. Oh dear, I need to fall into a deep sleep for some time to better absorb this power. I won’t talk to you for now, let’s meet again after I’ve fully absorbed the Cloud Ginseng!"

Having said that, Little Ling went completely silent.

Chen Fan was dumbfounded, "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t let me suffer? You should at least give me the benefits before you fall asleep!"

The interior of the Heavenly Creation Pearl was silent, as if there was no artifact spirit at all.

Chen Fan was speechless, "I didn’t expect you, as an artifact spirit, to be so shameless, to actually trick me. If I had known this earlier, I never would have given you the Cloud Ginseng!"

He ranted about Little Ling for a full ten minutes.

Just as he thought Little Ling had really fallen asleep, a mysterious talisman suddenly appeared in the space inside the Heavenly Creation Pearl.

Chen Fan, sensing something, took out the talisman and looked at it closely, muttering, "Nirvana Talisman, this is indeed a good thing."

He said to the Heavenly Creation Pearl, "At least you have some conscience."

But he received no response.

The so-called Nirvana Talisman is a healing talisman with powerful effects. As long as one isn’t completely dead, relying on the Nirvana Talisman can lead to recovery, effectively giving one an extra life.

In the Cultivation World, the Nirvana Talisman is an essential item for many cultivators when they venture out, as the path of cultivation is fraught with dangers. A slight mishap can cost one’s life, and having a Nirvana Talisman can provide extra security.

"Nowadays, it’s uncertain whether there are other cultivators like me on Earth, and there are few who can threaten my life. I probably won’t need this thing, it would have been better if you gave me a Spiritual Artifact instead," Chen Fan muttered to himself as he put the Nirvana Talisman into the Heavenly Creation Pearl.

He turned and walked out of the cave, rejoining Li Yunxi and the others.

Li Yunxi approached with a smile, "Noble sir, you have saved our lives, and we should express our gratitude. I plan to hold a banquet at the martial arts school this evening to entertain both of you, may I ask if the noble sir would do us the honor of attending?"

Chen Fan glanced at the sky, noting that it was already late, and seeing as they had no plans for the evening, he nodded in assent.

The group descended the mountain together and made their way to Yunxi Martial Arts School.

That evening, Li Yunxi prepared a sumptuous feast to entertain Chen Fan and Su Qingyan. Su Qingyan was quite pleased with the special dishes of Jibei City and ate happily.

After the meal, Li Yunxi arranged accommodations for Chen Fan and Su Qingyan, making sure everything was prepared before leaving them alone.

Midnight.

Su Qingyan, who had been fast asleep, suddenly woke up. She turned her head to look around, feeling as though someone was watching her in the dark.

"Is something trying to find me?"

Su Qingyan furrowed her brows, a sense of unease rising in her heart. After confirming several times, she realized that this feeling was brought about by a faint, almost imperceptible call from the bottom of her heart.
