"Wait!"
Mu Qinnan's face flickered coldly, before he recovered and said in a calm tone, "Princess, the Golden-scaled Crimson Serpent is not a powerful beast. It's not a big deal to kill it. It's a piece of cake for me to kill the Golden-scaled Crimson Serpent! Besides … "
His eyes flickered as he stared at Jiang Nan and said with a hollow laugh, "This brother's background is unknown. I'm afraid he's up to no good by befriending the Princess. Zi Chuan, what's your motive for befriending the Princess?"
Yue Linger frowned her eyebrows and said in an unpleasant tone, "Mr. Mu, Zi Chuan is my savior. Don't you think it's rude of you to say that?"
Jiang Nan's heart skipped a beat. He had long sensed a hostile aura from Mu Qinnan, but he had no idea how he had offended him.
"Princess, you're still young, so you don't know how sinister people can be."
Mu Qinnan opened his fan, causing a cool breeze to blow as he said with a hollow laugh, "Princess, you're the daughter of the King of Medicine. You have no idea how many people are trying to get close to you!"
He was displeased to see Yue Linger behaving so intimately with Jiang Nan. Yue Linger was a stunning beauty, a famous beauty in the Jianwu Kingdom, and the daughter of Prince Yue. If he could win her heart and marry her, he, Mu Qinnan, would enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future.
Not only would he receive countless pills, his status in the Mu Royal Palace would rise tremendously, and he might even become the next Prince Mu!
He had tried his best to woo Yue Linger, but failed to win her heart. On the other hand, this young man who had just appeared was talking and laughing with Yue Linger. It was obvious that he was trying to steal her heart, thus he could not tolerate it.
Jiang Nan raised his eyebrows and said in a calm tone, "Brother Mu, do you have any advice for me?"
Mu Qinnan wore an indifferent smile, "You're only a refugee who escaped from the Heavenly Wrath Land. You have neither status nor identity. You're only fit to be a servant, doing the lowliest jobs. As a servant, it's your duty to protect your master. Saving the Princess is also your duty. If you know what's good for you, you'd better scram as far as you can. Considering the status of the princess and I, it's a blessing that you've cultivated for eight lifetimes just to be able to talk to you. However, our Jianwu Nation was founded on martial arts, and we respect the strong the most. Since the Golden-scaled Redline Python died at your hands, it means that you are also an expert. "
He changed the topic and said proudly, "As long as you can survive one move from me, I will reward you and allow you to follow me and the princess."
Yue Linger was annoyed and said unhappily: "Young master Mu, this is not your Mu Palace, but my Medicine Palace. Whether Zi Chuan stays or not is not up to you. Zi Chuan, let's go. Ignore him! "
Mu Qinnan's eyes flickered coldly, as a murderous intent rose in his heart. He slammed his palm toward Jiang Nan, and his Qi burst out, causing the falling leaves to appear, as if they were falling from the sky. This was the unique skill of the Mu Palace, the Endless Falling Trees!
His Qi was comparable to a Martial Arts expert like Qiu Shan, which allowed him to unleash his Qi outside his body. He was determined to kill Jiang Nan with a single move!
Mu Qinnan had heard from Yue Linger about how Jiang Nan had killed the Golden-scaled Redline Python, thus he had a rough understanding of Jiang Nan's cultivation base. He was confident that Jiang Nan would not be able to withstand his attack!
Jiang Nan's eyes flickered with a murderous intent. How could he not be angry after being humiliated for no reason? However, after going through a tough battle, he did not have much of his cultivation left. His strength was indeed similar to when he killed the Golden-scaled Redline Python, thus he did not have much confidence in resisting Mu Qinnan's attack!
Besides, he was currently in the Medicine Palace. If he were to use the unique skill of the Qi Palace, he would be immediately recognized, and the people of the Qi Palace would come looking for him. There was no way he could escape!
"Elephant King Godly Pillar, Dragon-Tiger Mammoth Force!"
Jiang Nan straightened his body. His spine was like a pillar supporting his body, and the force of the Dragon-Tiger Mammoth Force burst out. His hand was like an elephant's trunk, as he struck out with a 'pa', colliding with Mu Qinnan's palm.
The Dragon-Tiger Mammoth Force Technique that he had invented was completely different from the Qi Palace's Dragon-Tiger Mammoth Force Technique. Be it the movements or the path of Qi circulation, they were completely different. Only the intent was the same, thus he could only use the Dragon-Tiger Mammoth Force Technique to resist Mu Qinnan.
As the two palms collided, Jiang Nan let out a groan. His face reddened, then turned extremely pale, but he still managed to resist Mu Qinnan's Boundless Falling Wood!
Mu Qinnan was quite surprised that Jiang Nan was able to withstand his attack. Just as he was about to follow up with another attack, a sword glow suddenly flashed past and stopped beside them. Yue Linger yelled furiously, "Mr. Mu, you've crossed the line. Zi Chuan has already resisted your attack, what more do you want?"
Mu Qinnan stopped his attack and said in a hypocritical tone, "If you're able to withstand a single attack from me, then Brother Jiang has the right to stand here. However, your cultivation is so weak that you almost couldn't withstand a single attack from me. Little Brother, did my palm strike hurt you? "
Even now, he did not forget to give Jiang Nan a heavy blow.
Yue Linger asked in a concerned tone, "Zi Chuan, are you hurt?"
Jiang Nan shook his head slowly and forced a smile, "I'm fine."
Yue Linger glared at Mu Qinnan and snapped, "Luckily, Brother Zi Chuan isn't hurt. Otherwise, I'll definitely tell Uncle Mu and teach you a lesson."
Mu Qinnan's heart skipped a beat after seeing her enraged expression, before he said with a smile, "Princess, I didn't mean it. I didn't know Brother Jiang's strength was so weak. If I knew, I would surely withdraw half of my cultivation."
Yue Linger harrumphed and said to Jiang Nan, "Zi Chuan, you don't have a place to stay yet, right? There are plenty of guest rooms in the Medicine Manor. I'll arrange them right away. Please come with me. "
She quickly walked toward the Medicine Manor, followed by Jiang Nan. Mu Qinnan quickly approached and said in a low voice, "Jiang, stay away from the princess if you don't want to die. Otherwise, you won't be so lucky next time!"
Jiang Nan let out a hollow laugh and said in a calm tone, "Brother Mu, if you dare to show your face again, I'll kill you with a single palm."
Mu Qinnan was slightly startled, before his face turned green as he let out a hideous laugh, "Kid, you should know if you have the capability to threaten me …"
"What are you guys talking about?" Yue Linger turned her head around and said in an alert tone.
Mu Qinnan let out a smile and said, "Princess, I'm just worried if Brother Qi is injured. I'm relieved to see that he's fine."
After arriving at the Medicine Manor, Yue Linger arranged a place for Jiang Nan to stay, with servants to serve him. Yue Linger asked the servants to leave and said in a low voice, "Zi Chuan, don't hold a grudge against him. Mr. Mu's cultivation is higher than yours …"
"I'm not a gentleman if I don't get my revenge. Princess, you don't have to say it." Jiang Nan put on a fake smile, while his eyes were engulfed in flames.
Yue Linger let out a sigh and said with a smile, "I'll arrange for you to learn Pill Alchemy as soon as possible. I'll bring you to the Pill Refining Chamber tomorrow. However, you should be careful, Mu Qinnan is very narrow-minded … "
Jiang Nan sent her off with his eyes twitching, "I'm narrow-minded too! If it weren't for the battle with the Mystical Overflowing Ape, which consumed seventy percent of my cultivation, how could Mu Qinnan possibly defeat me? Tomorrow morning, my cultivation will be fully recovered. Mu Qinnan, I'll pay you back for the humiliation you've given me! "
The next morning, when the sky had just turned bright, Jiang Nan stood alone in the courtyard, facing the rising sun in the east, and began to cultivate. When the sun rose and the sunlight shone on his body, the [Devil Hell Dark Fetus Scripture] was immediately activated. All the Sun Yuan Qi in the small courtyard within a radius of twenty feet immediately rolled over and turned into Vital Qi to fill his body!
Not long after, his cultivation was fully recovered!
All of a sudden, a cracking sound could be heard coming from Jiang Nan's head, which turned out to be the result of his powerful Qi breaking through another piece of the bone membrane in his skull!
There were only three pieces of bone membrane in his skull that had yet to be broken. Now that he had broken through one of them, there were only two left!
When the sun was high up in the sky, he had broken through the remaining two pieces of bone membrane. The Qi from the [Demonic Hell Mystic Fetus Scripture] flowed freely among the two hundred and six pieces of bone membrane in his body!
"The Qi Refinement Realm, I've finally reached the Qi Refinement Realm!"
Jiang Nan opened his eyes, which emitted a brilliant glow, before he withdrew his energy and returned to normal, "Mu Qinnan, you're courting death if you dare to offend me!"
With a thought, he began to ponder the Boundless Falling Wood Technique that Mu Qinnan had executed. A moment later, he was able to thoroughly understand the unique skill of the Mu Palace, while the mark of a godly tree was added to the Demonic Bell in his body.
He could even deduce the various moves of the Divine Wood Technique, all the way up to the sixth move!
"The Divine Wood Technique of the Mu Palace of the East River is indeed extraordinary. The Mu Palace is worthy of its reputation to be on par with the Qi Palace!"
Jiang Nan withdrew his thoughts and executed the Mingwang Godly Seal. His fingers danced rapidly in a complicated manner, as he performed the first hand seal, the Lotus Seal.
As the seal unfolded, his spiritual will also followed the seal and turned into a pure white lotus flower that slowly bloomed between his eyebrows. The flower bloomed and withered, the flower fell and the flower bloomed. The cycle was endless, causing his will to slowly grow stronger.
A moment later, Jiang Nan changed his move and performed the second form of the Mingwang Godly Seal, the Treasure Vase Seal. His will transformed into a treasure vase, which absorbed the essence of the Qi of the Heavens and Earth, allowing his will to grow stronger at a faster pace.
He repeated the hand seals, executing the Lotus Seal and the Treasure Vase Seal. Although his will did not improve significantly, it was a lot stronger than before.
Suddenly, a series of footsteps could be heard coming from the door. Jiang Nan's heart skipped a beat, as the figures of Mu Qinnan and the others appeared in his mind, as if he had seen them with his own eyes.
This was the wonder of the Qi Refinement Realm. After entering the Qi Refinement Realm, coupled with his powerful will, his senses became terrifyingly sensitive.
"There are five people in total, and their cultivations are not weak. They should be the same as Mu Qinnan, Qi Refinement Realm experts … Hmm, there's also the sound of someone's footsteps. This person should not be underestimated."
Jiang Nan heard that there was another person walking together with Mu Qinnan and the others. His footsteps were heavy, and his Qi was like a huge flag fluttering in the wind, emitting a strong sound. He must be cultivating an amazing Heart Technique, which gave him a feeling that it was more profound than the Dragon-Tiger Mammoth Strength Technique and the Lunar River Wave Breaker Technique!
Furthermore, this person's cultivation was extremely powerful. His footsteps were heavy, giving Jiang Nan a feeling that he was not any weaker than a Physical Invulnerability Expert like Qi Hua!
"Brother Jiang, I'm here to see you!"
Mu Qinnan burst out laughing before he entered the door, as if he was afraid that others would not know, he said to the people around him with a smile, "Fourth Prince, Brother Lu, Brother Qi, you might not know this, but I had a misunderstanding with this Brother Jiang yesterday, and almost killed him with a single palm strike. Now that I think about it, I still feel guilty!"
