Inside Qi King City's courtyard, Jiang Nan carefully examined the six jade bottles in his hand. His mind was filled with excitement, "Very good, I can finally enjoy the treatment that only the members of the Qi King Manor's imperial family could enjoy!"
Jiang Xue jumped down from his shoulder and once again transformed into a devastatingly beautiful woman. She gently took out a jade bottle and poured out a dozen or so soybean-sized pills. She rotated the pills in her jade-like hands. They were sparkling and translucent, and a refreshing fragrance assaulted one's nostrils, causing one's spirit to rise!
"The pills of the Medicine King Manor are only so-so. They can only be considered to be of an unsightly grade. However, for a martial artist, it is already extremely rare."
Jiang Xue glanced at the pills and smiled, "Zi Chuan, with these pills, you can strengthen your foundation. However, the Soul Accumulation Pill and the Body Nourishing Pill are somewhat useful to you. However, since you are cultivating the Devil Hell Dark Embryo Scripture, the Qi Nourishing Pill won't be of much use to you. It would be a waste to consume them. "
Jiang Nan carefully thought about it and felt that it was indeed reasonable. Although the Qi Nourishing Pill could increase one's qi, since he was cultivating the Devil Hell Dark Embryo Scripture, the growth rate of his qi would definitely surpass the speed of refining the Qi Nourishing Pill.
However, the other two pills, especially the Body Nourishing Pill, were extremely useful to him.
For a long time, he had been eating plain tea and plain food. Due to the lack of nutrition, his body had accumulated too many impurities, and his physique could not be compared to those of the aristocratic families.
Now that he was cultivating the Devil Hell Dark Embryo Scripture, Dragon Tiger Elephant Strength Technique, River Moon Wave Breaking Technique, and other mental cultivation techniques, his need for nutrition was even more exuberant. Not only did his appetite increase greatly, he even had to eat four to five meals a day, all of which were demon beast essence meat. Furthermore, he often felt hungry because his diet was too poor and could not keep up with his body's needs.
If this continued, his cultivation would definitely be delayed. As his cultivation became more profound, the impact on his cultivation speed would be even greater!
However, with the Body Nourishing Pill to nourish his body, it would eliminate the hidden dangers in his body, which was extremely beneficial to his cultivation of martial arts!
It was not unreasonable for the Medicine Manor to sell a Body Nourishing Pill for a hundred taels of silver.
As for the Soul Accumulation Pill, it was used to nourish one's essence, Qi, and spirit, as well as to cultivate one's mind and spirit. It was also an extremely valuable elixir. Jiang Nan had once heard the experts of King Qi's Mansion mention the importance of mind and spirit when teaching them to the disciples of King Qi's Mansion. This was especially true when one reached the realm of Physical Invulnerability. With a strong mind and spirit, one's strength would be even more outstanding!
Jiang Xue smiled and said, "Zi Chuan, you should take the Body Nourishing Pill to recuperate your body first before taking the Soul Nourishing Pill, the effect will be better."
Jiang Nan immediately swallowed a Body Nourishing Pill. He felt a warm current gushing out from his Dantian and spreading to his limbs and bones. He hurriedly sat down cross-legged and activated the pill's efficacy with his Genuine Qi to nourish his body.
In his Dantian, the efficacy of the Body Nourishing Pill spread out. The heat was overwhelming, and it was like a furnace inside his body. The heat continuously purified the impurities in his body, extracting the impurities from his skin, muscles, tendons, bones, and even bone marrow, and forcing them out of his body.
His whole body was drenched in sweat, and the sweat carried impurities that looked like black oil as they flowed out from his 108,000 pores. The moisture was immediately evaporated by the heat, forming a thick layer of dirt on his body!
The enormous efficacy of the Body Nourishing Pill even seeped into his pores and skin, expelling the impurities that had accumulated in his body for a long time. Even the hidden ailments in his body were cured!
After an unknown period of time, the efficacy of the Body Nourishing Pill was finally exhausted. Jiang Nan swallowed a second Body Nourishing Pill, and the efficacy of this one was slightly different from the previous one. The previous Body Nourishing Pill expelled the impurities in his body, but the second Body Nourishing Pill used its enormous efficacy to nourish his skin, flesh, tendons, and bones. The efficacy even seeped into his skin, filling his body with majestic power!
The bones in his body buzzed, the tendons bulged, and the muscles and skin tightened and contracted, allowing him to erupt with even more terrifying power than before. This was all thanks to the miraculous efficacy of the Body Nourishing Pill!
Originally, when he cultivated the Dragon Tiger Elephant Strength Technique, he was already close to the strength of four tigers. Now that he had taken two Body Nourishing Pills, which cleansed the impurities in his body and cured his hidden ailments, it actually allowed him to increase the strength of one tiger!
The strength of five tigers!
The descendants of the Qi Manor's aristocratic families are able to frequently take this kind of pill. No wonder their strength far exceeds that of ordinary people! Jiang Nan thought in his heart.
After he took the third Body Nourishing Pill, he felt that although the efficacy of the Body Nourishing Pill was still strong, its effect on his body was no longer as strong as the previous two pills. He consecutively took a bottle of Body Nourishing Pills. In the end, the Body Nourishing Pills could no longer improve his body. This meant that the efficacy of the Body Nourishing Pill had reached its limit. Even if he took more Body Nourishing Pills, there would not be a greater improvement unless he found a higher grade Body Nourishing Pill.
"It's almost daybreak?"
Jiang Nan raised his head and looked out the window. He saw that the sky was bright and the sun was about to rise. This was the best time to cultivate the [Devil Hell Dark Fetus Scripture]. He immediately activated the [Devil Hell Dark Fetus Scripture].
This was no small matter. Jiang Nan couldn't help but be overjoyed. When he activated the [Devil Hell Dark Fetus Scripture] yesterday, the circulation of his True Qi was sluggish. But now, it was as if his True Qi had been smeared with oil. The circulation speed was much faster than before!
"After being nourished by the Body Nourishing Pill, my body is far stronger than before. The circulation of my True Qi is incomparably smooth, and the use of my True Qi is also more exquisite!"
When the sun was high up in the sky, Jiang Nan did not stop cultivating. He continued to absorb the Yang Yuan Qi in the sunlight and transformed it into True Qi in his body. After a while, he felt the Yang Qi in his body surging and almost unable to be suppressed. Only then did he stop cultivating. He was overjoyed.
"The effect of the Body Nourishing Pill is indeed strong. Yesterday, Sister Jiang Xue said that my body was too weak and couldn't withstand the intense Yang Yuan Qi in the sky. With the nourishment of the Body Nourishing Pill, I can cultivate for a longer period of time!"
Jiang Nan slowly withdrew his True Qi. The True Qi flowed into his Dantian and was swallowed by the Devil Bell in his Dantian. It was then stored in the Devil Bell for nourishment.
He looked at himself and frowned slightly. He saw that his body was covered with black filth and a pungent smell assailed his nostrils.
He hurriedly walked out of the room and walked quickly to the deep well in the courtyard. He stretched his hand into the well and made a grabbing motion. His True Qi erupted and transformed into the move of the Great River Rising from the Deep Valley. The sound of water splashing could be heard from the well. A column of water was sucked up by his True Qi. It was as if a pocket-sized river was flowing out of the deep valley!
His True Qi became stronger and stronger and he became more proficient at it. Drawing water from the well was a piece of cake for him!
Jiang Nan washed away the filth on his body and felt refreshed. He returned to his room and changed into a set of clean clothes. He felt extremely energetic. However, at this moment, Jiang Xue suddenly stepped forward and sucked away forty percent of his Yang Qi.
Although forty percent of his Yang Qi had been sucked away, causing his cultivation to drop by forty percent, Jiang Nan still felt that his current state was far better than it was a day ago when he was at his peak!
He thought back to his experiences in the past few days and still felt as if he was in a dream. Everything seemed like a dream and was unbelievable.
"Zi Chuan, something big has happened in Prince Qi's Mansion!"
Tie Zhu came to learn the Dragon Tiger Elephant Strength Technique from him. Just as he walked into the courtyard, his expression immediately became incomparably grave. He glanced left and right and said in a low voice, "Just now, I heard news from the Inner Mansion that Steward Wu Sijiang has disappeared. Just this morning, someone found his corpse downstream of Yangchuan River. The Prince Qi's Mansion has already sent experts to investigate the cause of his death … "
"Wu Sijiang's corpse has finally been found!"
Jiang Nan's heart trembled as he thought to himself, "To kill Wu Sijiang, I used a total of three martial arts: Mixed Origin Stele Opening Hand, Raccoon Thirteen Pounces, and River Moon Wave Breaker Art. These three martial arts definitely can't be hidden from the eyes of Prince Qi's Mansion's experts! Prince Qi's Mansion strictly forbids the teaching of martial arts to outsiders. If they find out that I know the River Moon Wave Breaker Art, they definitely won't let this matter go! "
"Wu Sijiang, that smiling tiger, is vicious and merciless. The lives of us servants are nothing in his eyes. If he wants to fight, he will fight. If he wants to kill, he will kill. I never thought that he would have such a day. He died well, he deserved it!"
Tie Zhu was well-informed and said with a smile, "However, the Inner Mansion is extremely concerned about this matter. They believe that someone wants to deal with Prince Qi's Mansion. This time, among the experts they sent out, I heard that Prince Qi's heir, Qi Feng, is among them! Other than Qi Feng, there is also Chief Steward Qi Yong and more than ten experts! "
"Heir Qi Feng?"
Jiang Nan's heart stirred. Prince Qi Feng of Prince Qi's Mansion was an outstanding figure. To a person like him, Qi Feng was simply enveloped by a god-like halo, dazzling and brilliant.
It was said that Qi Feng was well-versed in both the pen and the sword. He was proficient in the four arts of the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. At the same time, he excelled in strategizing. He had once deduced military strategies with Prince Qi on a sand table, and Prince Qi lost three times. His martial cultivation was even more shocking. He was only in his twenties now, yet he was already a top expert who had cultivated to the physical invulnerability stage. It was practically an iron-clad matter for him to cultivate a Divine Wheel!
"No matter how wise and mighty Qi Feng is, he is but a mere mortal. Don't even think of finding out about me!"
Jiang Nan thought in his heart. "Moreover, I've already broken free from my slave status and redeemed my life contract. I'm not in Prince Qi's Mansion. Even if Qi Feng turns Prince Qi's Mansion upside down, he can forget about finding me."
At the lower reaches of Yangchuan River, Qi Clan experts stood in great numbers around Wu Sijiang's corpse. They heavily surrounded the area and prohibited outsiders from watching.
Slowly, a young master dressed in purple walked over to Wu Sijiang's corpse. After sizing it up, he revealed a thoughtful expression.
"Heir, what have you discovered?"
The chief steward of Prince Qi's Mansion came forward and inquired in a low voice, "In this old servant's opinion, this matter was most likely done by a disciple of our Inner Mansion. Wu Sijiang's character was too terrible. He most likely offended a young master of the Inner Mansion and was thus killed by that young master. Although Wu Sijiang is the steward of the outer court, he is only a servant. Why is there a need to muster so many people for a dead servant? "
"Qi Yong, what you said is wrong."
The young master dressed in purple was Prince Qi's eldest son, Qi Feng. He had an outstanding bearing as he shook his head slightly and walked up Yangchuan River. He smiled and said, "Wu Sijiang District is just a servant. His life and death is naturally a small matter. If he really offended a disciple of the Prince Qi's Mansion, who would dare to say no if he was killed in the Prince Qi's Mansion? However, this person just had to do it outside the Mansion. It can be seen that the person who did it is not a disciple of our Prince Qi's Mansion. "
Qi Yong hurriedly followed and said with a smile, "If it wasn't a young master of the Prince Qi's Mansion, who else could it be?"
"If it isn't a disciple of the Prince Qi's Mansion, then it's naturally a servant of my Prince Qi's Mansion!"
Over 10 experts of the Prince Qi's Mansion followed closely on the left and right of Qi Feng. All along the way, it wasn't long before they arrived at a dense forest. Shockingly, it was the place where Jiang Nan killed Wu Sijiang.
