Chapter 394 - Self-Reflection (1/2)

The crowd was left speechless.

After a while, Envoy Zhu and the others finally collected their thoughts and rapidly moved out in a ferocious manner to search for Qin Nan.

The entire Caomu Peak was immersed in chaos.

That was a fifth-grade Xing ranked spiritualized pill!

And it was refined by Qin Nan!

There was no way that this news was not shocking to them!

However, Qin Nan was no longer involved in this chaos.

Qin Nan led Leng Jianxiong and Lin Xiaoyu away from the venue and arrived at a deserted place at Caomu Peak.

“Senior Brother…”

Leng Jianxiong’s first reaction was to gulp down mouthfuls of saliva.

“I know you two are curious.” Qin Nan smilingly said, “I was lucky to find myself some succession at the Martial Ancestor Mystical Ground, granting me knowledge of Pill Alchemy!”

That’s why!

Leng Jianxiong and Lin Xiaoyu came to a realization.

If that was the case, everything could be explained now. Otherwise, Qin Nan’s talents would be too terrifying for them.

Qin Nan glanced at Lin Xiaoyu and said, “Although I’ve obtained this fortunate encounter in Pill Alchemy, I will still focus on Martial Arts. Therefore, it might be better if I teach you what I’ve learned, so you can shine brightly through Pill Alchemy, how’s that?”

The Unconventional Pill Almanac, although it was not considered the best art of Pill Alchemy of all time, it was still considered outstanding.

Through this Pill Alchemy duel, Qin Nan realized the fact that Pill Alchemy was much more complicated than he had expected, as he would need to master the knowledge regarding herbs, pill-refining methods, pill formulae, etc. Even with the experiences regarding Pill Alchemy he acquired from the Demonic-Cored Highness, he would still need to devote lots of time and energy in order to achieve great height.

There is only limited time and energy that a man has.

Leng Jianxiong’s breathing intensified.

Surprisingly, Lin Xiaoyu shook her head and wore a wry smile as she spoke, “Senior Brother, I won’t be taking your art of Pill Alchemy. I would like to come up with my own.”

Qin Nan was startled. He had not expected her to reject his offer.

“Senior Brother, there’s something that I’ve been thinking of telling you…”

A hint of hesitation could be seen on Lin Xiaoyu’s face.

“Feel free to do so, don’t be afraid.”

Qin Nan encouraged.

“Xiaoyu is really grateful that Senior Brother has been helping me so much. However, in my opinion, now that your identity and status are different than before, maybe you should take note of your words slightly and other things too.” Lin Xiaoyu spoke in a shy manner, “To be honest, I don’t really know how to describe it, but I feel like Senior Brother should be slightly more careful with your words.”

“Different identity and status? Be careful of my words?”

Qin Nan was stunned.

Lately, his luck had been extremely on point. Either the selection of disciples or the Martial Ancestor Mystical Ground, he had benefited the most from them, thus his state of mind had been experiencing some sort of transformation unknowingly.

If it weren’t for the reminder from Lin Xiaoyu, he would not have been able to realize it!

“Thank you!”

Qin Nan said in a serious tone.

As the ancient saying went, one should constantly reflect upon self-behaviors and attitude. It was time for him to reflect upon himself, as he was not a perfect being, hence there were many things that he needed to improve on. As such, it was crucial to realize his own weaknesses and overcome them.

“Senior Brother, what is your plan…” Leng Jianxiong asked.

Without a doubt, the news regarding Qin Nan’s talent in Pill Alchemy would be made known to the entire Caomu Peak, resulting in a huge shock.

“I’ll be buying some herbs and cauldrons. You can leave now.” Qin Nan let out a smile.

For him, it was enough as long as he could refine Yue-ranked pills, so he could exchange them for Primary Stones.

“Sure!”

Leng Jianxiong exchanged glances with Lin Xiaoyu and chatted with Qin Nan for a brief while, before leaving the place.

Qin Nan lowered his head as he continued to reflect upon himself.

“It’s better if I were to be more modest.”

“Lately, I’ve been having countless fortunate encounters. As such, I should be more hardworking and focused!”

“Although I’m not afraid of the Heavens and Earth, it doesn’t mean I should be full of myself.”

“……”

The scenes that had occurred during the Pill Alchemy duel flashed across Qin Nan’s mind. He could not help but admit that some of the words he had said to Zheng Kun and Chen Ying were quite scornful indeed.
