Dashing Student-Chapter 1348: Razor-Sharp Edge

Master Canglan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, finally suppressing the killing intent in his heart.

"How many spirit stones do you want?"

"One million top-grade spirit stones, no bargaining." Chen Nan’s frivolous offer clearly intended to strike hard.

Even though he knew this price was just Chen Nan’s way to disgust him, in front of so many people, Master Canglan couldn’t bring himself to haggle.

Therefore, he took out a million top-grade spirit stones from his storage spiritual artifact and tossed them to Chen Nan. Even though it pained him, he acted as if it didn’t matter at all.

"Thank you for your generosity, Master. I will return Brother Gu Ci’s belongings as they were."

Chen Nan immediately became quite polite. After all, this old guy was his great benefactor, so he naturally returned the storage bag.

Only then did Master Canglan prepare to leave, but when he used his divine sense to investigate the contents of Gu Ci’s storage bag, he froze for a moment, then spat out a mouthful of blood.

Because the storage bag was left with only some worthless items like Gu Ci’s clothing, everything else had disappeared.

There was no need to think; it was obvious Chen Nan had transferred them to his own storage bag.

"Jue Mingzi, little thief, you’ve gone too far!"

Master Canglan bit his teeth so hard that they almost shattered, but he still left without looking back. Staying longer would only humiliate himself.

Chen Nan’s face was almost beaming with a smile, having gained one million top-grade spirit stones and a large amount of cultivation resources from Gu Ci’s storage bag.

No wonder many cultivators wanted to join Master Canglan; this old man was truly generous to his disciples, and the cultivation resources were truly enticing.

Yao Wuchen came up to Chen Nan, stroked his beard, sighed, and shook his head: "Alas, too sharp, too rigid, breaks easily. Take care of yourself."

Chen Nan had a good impression of Yao Wuchen. After all, in that kind of situation earlier, it was quite rare for someone to stand up and speak a fair word for him.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior."

"Mm." Yao Wuchen nodded, and then quickly left with the other elders.

"Husband, you’re amazing!"

Liu Hanyue came excitedly to Chen Nan’s side, holding his arm, completely unconcerned about the many cultivators still lingering around the martial arts arena.

"Not bad, it’s mainly because Gu Ci’s skills were just so-so." Chen Nan said modestly.

Although it seemed like his victory was easy, he had used the powers of three demon forms: "Heavenly Fox Form," "Dragon Elephant Form," and "Demon Ape Form."

Combined with the amplification from the secret technique of Yama Hall, and the attribute power of the Myriad Phenomena Golden Core, it would be strange if Gu Ci didn’t die from that punch.

Back on Ten Thousand Treasures Island, he only used those two trump cards to kill Ghost Slayer and Lu Xingmian, while Gu Ci alone withstood two killing moves, which was quite an honor.

If it weren’t for the presence of so many people and a few elders from the Righteous Alliance, he couldn’t use many means, otherwise, Gu Ci would have died faster.

Chen Nan’s modest words, when heard by the cultivators around the martial arts arena, made them react as if they had seen a ghost, feeling scared.

Gu Ci’s strength was weak? He was a prodigy of the Righteous Alliance and the beloved disciple of Master Canglan!

If he was weak, then how many strong ones could the entire Righteous Alliance produce?

The cultivators looked at Chen Nan with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and resentment. Those who had previously belittled Chen Nan were filled with dread, fearing Chen Nan would seek revenge.

Fortunately, Chen Nan paid them no mind and instead looked at the crowd and said calmly: "In the future, if anyone still wants to challenge me, I welcome you greatly."

"However, if you want to challenge me, first provide 100,000 top-grade spirit stones, otherwise, don’t bother."

After saying that, Chen Nan left the place with Liu Hanyue, Ning Yu, and others.

Very quickly, the news of Chen Nan killing Gu Ci, cursing Master Canglan as an old dog, and making Master Canglan vomit blood spread throughout the entire Righteous Alliance.

It was impossible not to hear about Jue Mingzi’s name.

At Master Canglan’s place, everything in the cave dwelling that could be smashed was destroyed, with even Yi Mingzi kneeling and trembling, fearing to be implicated.

Gu Ci’s corpse lay in front, the wound cruel, like a large hole.

"Disciple, you died so miserably; I swear to avenge you!"

After venting, looking at Gu Ci’s corpse, Master Canglan squeezed out two tears, his expression sorrowful and indignant.

He only had seven disciples in total, and he treated each one with deep care, like his own children. No matter who met with any mishap, he would be extremely sorrowful.

"Master, it’s all Jue Mingzi’s fault, if not for him, Fifth Brother wouldn’t have died so tragically." Yi Mingzi, eyes red, still did not forget to throw dirt on Chen Nan.

Master Canglan’s heart was as clear as a mirror to Yi Mingzi’s little schemes, but he didn’t correct them, instead choosing to indulge them.

"When you escaped back then, I should have mobilized the entire Righteous Alliance to find and kill that little beast, then old Five wouldn’t have died."

"Disciple, I know you have been secretly making small moves, for many matters I have helped you suppress, but this time, I hope you eradicate Jue Mingzi!"

Yi Mingzi was taken aback, and then tears welled up, moved.

"Alright, Master, this time I will make sure Jue Mingzi has no place to be buried, and I just have a way."

Master Canglan nodded, gritting his teeth: "I only have one request, to make that little beast pay with his life for old Five!"

...

On the other side, Chen Nan and Ning Yu returned to Liu Hanyue’s small courtyard. During this time, Yi Mingzi hadn’t assigned him any tasks, allowing him some leisure.

Moreover, he was now a prodigy of the Righteous Alliance, no longer under Yi Mingzi’s jurisdiction. If there were tasks, an elder would personally seek him out.

"I’ve made significant progress in my cultivation during this period, so I need to digest it first. For the next few days, it’s best you don’t disturb me."

Looking at the two women in front of him, Chen Nan couldn’t help but shiver. For the past few days, he had used the Dual Cultivation Method to gain a large amount of Yin Yuan from Liu Hanyue but hadn’t had the time to absorb and refine it.

Similarly, Liu Hanyue and Ning Yu both benefitted from Chen Nan, so facing Chen Nan’s proposal, they readily agreed.

Chen Nan heaved a sigh of relief and hurried back to his room, closing the door. After all, facing the single-for-thousands-of-years and fierce Liu Hanyue, he found himself a bit overwhelmed.

Returning to the room, he didn’t rush to cultivate but instead took out some items from the storage bag, all obtained from Gu Ci’s storage bag.

A golden brush, emitting mana fluctuations; though its rank hadn’t reached Sixth Grade, it could still be considered a strong half-step Sixth Grade spiritual artifact.

Then there were spirit stones, totaling over one hundred thousand in top-grade spirit stones, as well as numerous elixir pills, which Master Canglan had found for his disciple to enhance cultivation speed, now benefiting Chen Nan.

What Chen Nan valued most was a jade scroll, upon which was the secret technique for Sky Drawing Talisman, "Pen Dances with Flowers."
