Qin Nan shrugged and left the place without saying anything.
Following this, he continued to visit the streets of Linran City. Each time he made a move, the number of G.o.d Stones he had on him increased to twenty thousand.
However, along the way, he did not find any pieces of the Canglan Tree, nor any shocking artifacts.
"Mister, please wait a moment."
At that instant, a pleasant voice could be heard. Qin Nan turned his head around and saw a woman wearing a long robe with a heroic aura walking toward him from over ten zhang away.
"I'm Zhan Xiaoxian, an inner disciple of the Battle Tribe, one of the Eight Ancient Tribes. I've been paying attention to you for quite some time. May I know your name?"
Zhan Xiaoxian asked.
Qin Nan was startled hearing this.
Zhan Xiaoxian? An inner disciple of the Battle Tribe?
He subconsciously lowered his head. As he thought, the ring on his finger began to emit a faint glow.
Qin Nan was startled. He immediately activated his left eye of the Divine God of Battle and inspected Zhan Xiaoxian. A while later, his gaze was focused on Zhan Xiaoxian's chest.
On her delicate collarbone hung a crystal dagger the size of a palm. It was transparent and covered in a mystical aura, indicating that it was quite extraordinary. However, what really attracted Qin Nan's attention was the five diamond-shaped wooden blocks engraved on the handle of the dagger. Each of them was the size of a fingernail, and had a dark red color to them.
Although the five diamond-shaped wooden blocks were emitting an ancient aura, Qin Nan's left eye of the Divine God of Battle was sharp enough to notice that the last wooden block had an indescribable aura. Even his left eye was unable to peek into it.
"So... this is the piece of the Canglan Tree?"
Qin Nan's breathing intensified.
Even though it was only a tiny piece, it was difficult for him to remain calm after seeing it with his own eyes.
"Mister?" Zhan Xiaoxian's eyes flickered with a confused look. Why was this elegant young man staring at her chest?
"Sorry, I was distracted," Qin Nan swiftly collected his thoughts and said, "I'm Duan Qing, may I know why you're looking for me?"
"Duan Qing, right? Based on what I saw earlier, every time you made a move, you seemed to be able to see through everything. This shows how powerful your eye technique is. Why don't you make a move for me later? As long as you can win, not only will the treasures you choose be yours, I'll even reward you handsomely.
Zhan Xiaoxian fixed her beautiful eyes on Qin Nan.
Originally, she had been worried about how to deal with what was going to happen next. However, she had never imagined that she would actually encounter someone with such a profound eye technique on the streets. This caused a trace of hope to ignite in her heart.
At least with Duan Qing's help, she wouldn't lose too badly.
Qin Nan's eyes flickered after hearing this. He did not expect Zhan Xiaoxian to offer herself to him, not to mention that she had a favor to ask from him.
"That's not a problem, but if I win, can you give me the dagger?"
Qin Nan said directly.
Although the glazed dagger was a half-Monarch Weapon, its value was not high as it had been damaged. Therefore, it was fine for him to reveal his purpose.
"You want the dagger?" Zhan Xiaoxian's eyes flickered with astonishment.
The dagger was the first weapon she had been given as a gift when she was young. Although she had achieved the eighth-layer Martial Ancestor's cultivation and rarely used it, it had become a habit for her to carry it around, thus she was too lazy to take it off.
Why would Duan Qing ask for such a worthless dagger?
Could it be that there was some kind of treasure inside it?
"This dagger is related to a friend of mine who has disappeared for a long time. That's why I want it. Cultivator, if you're willing to give it to me, as long as it's within my capabilities, I won't reject it. "Qin Nan said calmly.
Although he could simply rob the dagger, there was no need for that.
It was fine to rob his enemies, but if he were to rob someone else, how different would he be from a robber?
"Alright, it's not impossible for you to take the dagger, but you'll have to help me bet on the fragments later. I'll pay for the G.o.d Stones. If you lose, the dagger won't belong to you." Zhan Xiaoxian's eyes flickered as she spoke.
"Not a problem."
Qin Nan agreed without hesitation.
If he were to bet on the fragments, his left eye of the Divine God of Battle would be more than enough.
"Follow me."
After reaching an agreement, Zhan Xiaoxian immediately brought Qin Nan to a palace on the other side of the street without wasting any time.
The palace had seven floors and was entirely golden in color. Under the illumination of the sun, it emitted a strange, dazzling golden glow. If one's cultivation was not strong enough, they would not dare to look at it directly.
The palace was called the Golden Soaring Palace.
At the entrance, there were countless cultivators coming and going. It was exceptionally lively.
"Lead the way."
Zhan Xiaoxian walked forward and handed a golden invitation card to the servant. Her face was cold as she regained the pride of an inner disciple of a formidable tribe.
"So it's Miss Zhan. My Master and the others have been waiting for you."
The servant's eyes flickered as he immediately bowed and led Zhan Xiaoxian and Qin Nan to the entrance of a giant room on the seventh floor of the palace.
Normally, the room would be equipped with various formations to block the sound and Divine Sense, etc. However, for some reason, as soon as Zhan Xiaoxian and Qin Nan arrived, a few voices could be heard coming from the room.
"Tsk tsk, I bet this Zhan Xiaoxian doesn't dare to come!"
"HAHAHA, of course she doesn't dare to come. She doesn't know any eye-techniques, nor did she bring any eye-technique experts with her. Wouldn't she be embarrassing herself by coming here?"
Green veins popped out on Zhan Xiaoxian's forehead after hearing the words. Before Qin Nan could speak, she kicked the door open and snapped, "Who says I don't dare to come?"
Qin Nan took the opportunity to inspect the room.
At the leading seat sat a man with short black hair. His cultivation was the eighth-layer Martial Ancestor, who wore a smile on his face. His aura was similar to the aura of the Martial Monarch at the City Lord's Mansion of Linran City. It was most likely that he was from Linran City.
On the other side of the red-haired man sat a man and a woman. The young man was wearing a strange red robe. His cultivation was the seventh-layer Martial Ancestor, whose body was like a giant furnace. Meanwhile, the woman was emitting an icy aura, like that of the Netherworld.
"Flame Tribe? Undead Tribe? "
Qin Nan raised his eyebrows slightly.
The eight ancient tribes of Canglan Continent were the Heavenly Fortune Tribe, the Flame Tribe, the Undead Tribe, the Lightning Tribe, the Blood Tribe, the Dead Spirit Tribe, the Ocean Tribe, and the Battle Tribe.
The Heavenly Fortune Tribe was the most mysterious tribe, while the Flame Tribe, the Undead Tribe, the Lightning Tribe, and the Blood Tribe were the most common tribes.
"Oh, Zhan Xiaoxian, you're here?"
The woman from the Undead Tribe pretended to be surprised.
"It's my fault, my fault, I misunderstood you. You wouldn't dare to come. Yo, who's this guy behind you? Is he the helper you found on the street? "
The young man from the Lightning Tribe glanced at Qin Nan before shifting his gaze away with a disdainful look.
"Enough with the nonsense. Dong Kuo, let's begin."
Zhan Xiaoxian said coldly.
