Chapter 1002 – Levitation Crystal
Qin Nan followed Xiao Hong’s gaze and saw an ancient corpse sitting inside the cave with its head lowered slightly and a rotten robe draped over its body.
The ancient corpse held a grey cube-shaped crystal in his left hand and three stalks of pitch-black flowers on his right.
“Majestic Dark Ancient Flower, three stalks of them? Oh my…is that the Levitation Crystal?” Chen Buhui stared at them with great astonishment.
“What are they used for?” Qin Nan had gotten used to his personality.
“Gasp, this Majestic Dark Ancient Flower, in simple words, a single stalk is able to improve a Martial Tree to the next level. That being said, everyone can only consume it once.”
“As for the Levitation Crystal, I believe you know that levitation is a sign of becoming immortal. Well, it’s not that ridiculous, but it is enough to improve your entire strength to the next level!”
Chen Buhui’s astonishment showed no sign of dissipating.
The two hounds and one mouse swallowed their saliva upon hearing this.
Qin Nan’s eyes glistened, as he did not expect them to be so valuable.
“Master, this ancient corpse contains a forbidding aura. If you choose to take the Majestic Dark Ancient Flower, you will be targeted. However, if you take the Levitation Crystal, you will receive a terrifying blow.” Xiao Hong immediately extinguished their pa.s.sion with her words, “Even a ninth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm expert wouldn’t be able to survive it.”
Chen Buhui, the two hounds, and one mouse pulled their necks back.
The treasure was great, but it was too much of a risk.
“Is that so?”
A flame was ignited in Qin Nan’s eyes. He clearly understood that it was never easy to acquire the treasures of this world.
However, based on Xiao Hong’s reminder, it did not necessarily mean that he had no chance at all.
With the copper mirror and golden seal protecting him, he could easily resist attacks directed at his Divine Sense, soul, etc.
Physically, he could defend himself with the left arm of the Divine G.o.d of Battle.
“It’s worth a try!”
Qin Nan immediately made up his mind and turned to his crew, “You all should leave first, taking the same path; wait for me at the entrance.”
“Brother Qin Nan, are you…”
Chen Buhui was stunned.
Even a ninth-layer Martial Progenitor was unable to survive the attack!
“Don’t worry, I will be fine. Leave now.” Qin Nan ordered.
“Al…alright!” Chen Buhui was about to say something upon seeing his reaction, but decided against it and left with Xiao Hong, the two hounds, and one mouse.
When Chen Buhui and the others were a li away from the cave, Qin Nan set up a formation with a wave and unleashed a terrifying aura.
Nine Martial Trees were unleashed at the same time!
His right arm exploded, revealing the Heaven-Shattering Saber!
“I would like to see how strong the forbidding aura inside your body is!”
Qin Nan took a deep breath as the battle intent in his body rose rapidly. His gaze sharpened as he gathered his strength.
Whoos.h.!.+
He instantly retrieved the Levitation Crystal and the three stalks of Majestic Dark Ancient Flower with a grab.
He might as well take them all!
ROAR!
The ancient corpse instantly woke up, uttering a shocking roar. Following this, its body exploded, resulting in a terrifying glow that spread into the surroundings.
“c.r.a.p!”
Qin Nan’s face became pale. It was obvious that even an ordinary tenth-layer Martial Progenitor would be unable to survive it.
In the nick of time, he swiftly executed three slashes, withdrew the Martial Trees, and raised his left arm.
BANG!
The overwhelming glow instantly devoured his figure.
Chen Buhui who was a li away from the entrance of the cave was startled, before he immediately grabbed everyone and backed off from it.
The Immortal Demon Cave trembled vigorously as a terrifying glow sprang out from it, leaving a giant ravine in the valley.
The two hounds and one mouse dropped their jaws completely, as they did not expect the attack to be this terrifying.
Chen Buhui was left with a blank face.
Qin Nan would surely die from such a terrifying attack!
“Master!” Xiao Hong was the first to react, who dashed forward and found Qin Nan’s body lying in the ravine.
He was soaked in blood while his clothes were damaged from the impact. His breathing was extremely weakened, as he suffered a great injury from the impact.
However, his hands were clenching the Levitation Crystal and the Majestic Dark Ancient Flowers tightly.
It was strange that they were in perfect condition despite the shocking impact.
“Monk, save him!” Xiao Hong snapped at Chen Buhui.
“Ah? Save him?”
Chen Buhui wore a shocked expression as he collected his thoughts.
Qin Nan was still alive?
“Quick!” Xiao Hong snapped once again. Even the two hounds and one mouse urged him to move.
“Alright!”
Chen Buhui immediately went up and let Qin Nan consume a few pills. He then placed his palms together and uttered chants, causing a gentle glow to encapsulate Qin Nan’s body.
Xiao Hong let out a relieved sigh. Judging from the power of the glow, it appeared that Chen Buhui’s cultivation was strong enough.
Qin Nan would be able to survive.
“What exactly…did he do?”
Meanwhile, Chen Buhui was still greatly astounded by the scene.
In his mind, Qin Nan could at most face a seventh-layer Martial Progenitor with his current strength. How did he manage to defend himself against the attack then?
If he had relied on a Monarch Talisman, he would have sensed its aura.
In the midst of his doubts, Chen Buhui caught a glimpse of the treasure inside Qin Nan’s hands, causing his heart to skip a beat.
Now that Qin Nan was in his weakest state due to the injury, with only the skeleton and the two hounds and one mouse protecting him, should I knock them all out with the stick?
“Amitabha, I’m a highly-respected monk. How could I do such a thing?”
Chen Buhui shook his head as he recalled his Senior Brother’s advice.
As the time it took two incense sticks to burn had pa.s.sed since Chen Buhui attended to Qin Nan’s wounds, his eyes finally sprang open following a soft moan.
“Gasp…”
As soon as Qin Nan opened his eyes, he immediately took a deep breath, sensing the pain from his body.
“Mm? Chen Buhui? Did you heal me?” Qin Nan asked as he realized that the condition of his body was better than he had imagined.
“Hehe, Master, how awesome it is that you’re able to survive the attack. You must be the reincarnation of a great Martial Monarch…” The two hounds came up to him and flattered.
“Be gone!”
Qin Nan snapped as he straightened his figure.
“You two should take one of the Majestic Dark Ancient Flowers each. The last stalk is for you three.” Qin Nan split the Majestic Dark Ancient Flowers among his crew.
“This…” Chen Buhui’s face was filled with disbelief, “Brother Qin, are you seriously giving me a stalk of the Majestic Dark Ancient Flower?”
“You’ve saved my life, so you completely deserve it.” Qin Nan said with a calm smile.
Chen Buhui stared at the Majestic Dark Ancient Flower in his hand with a blank expression.
He had only contributed a few pills and some of his power, and had been given such a great reward in return?
