Chapter 49 - Eyes of the Divine Battle Spiri (1/2)

t

Under Xiao Qingxue’s lead, Qin Nan arrived at a residential area.

The whole area had a circumference of around three miles; there were two hundred plus rooms and every room had a unique number.

Besides this, there were also four Martial Emperor experts guarding the entrance to the area.

Xiao Qingxue said, “This area was built specifically for new disciples like you. Qin Nan, you are number nineteen—you can enter straight away and start cultivating.”

After hesitating momentarily, Xiao Qingxue smilingly said, “Of course, every room here is protected by concealing formations set up by experts. The aura from your Martial Spirit—or whatever you do when you’re cultivating—will not leak out.”

Qin Nan nodded his head, if these rooms did not have these concealing formations, he would not dare to cultivate here.

“Go on. I’ll pick you up in ten days.” Xiao Qingxue said.

“Alright.”

Qin Nan did not waste any time; he immediately walked up to check-in with his name, then proceeded straight to room number nineteen.

The room only had an area of thirty meters squared, with a futon placed in the middle; there was dry food placed at the side of the room, specially prepared for new disciples who were planning to cultivate in seclusion.

Qin Nan went up to the futon and sat on it with his legs crossed. The Divine Martial Spirit appeared, floating behind him.

“I received fifty Xiantian Pills from the bet with Bai Heng previously. Now is the best time to consume the pills, and see what level my Divine Battle Spirit will be upgraded to.”

Qin Nan thought in his mind, and took out one Xiantian Pill and placed it in his mouth.

After consuming the Xiantian Pill, Qin Nan was slightly nervous.

Although Body Tempering Pills could increase the grade of the Divine Battle Spirit, Qin Nan was still unsure whether these Xiantian Pills—which were a higher-grade than the Body-Tempering Pills—were able to increase his Martial Spirit’s grade.

As the Xiantian Pill was consumed, the Divine Battle Spirit emitted an arcane absorbing force, which sucked in the Qi contained in the Xiantian Pill and swallowed it.

After seeing this, Qin Nan was slightly relieved; he continued to take the Xiantian Pills out and consume them one-by-one.

“I’m not sure how many Xiantian Pills I need to level up this time…”

Qin Nan said to himself.

In just a brief moment, he had consumed ten Xiantian Pills, but the Divine Battle Spirit still had no sign of levelling up.

“Taking the pills one-by-one is really too slow—let’s eat ten pills at once!”

After making the decision, Qin Nan grabbed a handful of Xiantian Pills and shoved them into his mouth.

He repeated the same action three times, but the Divine Battle Spirit still remained silent.

Even Qin Nan started to have cold sweats on his forehead after seeing this.

Forty Xiantian Pills and the Divine Battle Spirit did not budge?

“One Xiantian Pill is equivalent to at least one hundred Body-Tempering Pills. Forty of these should be equal to four thousand Body-Tempering Pills. If I take ten more, it would be five thousand. How come the Divine Battle Spirit has not levelled up with all these pills?”

Qin Nan did not look happy and clenched his teeth, grabbing the remaining ten Xiantian Pills, shoved them all into his mouth.

Following this, time turned slower.

One breath’s time… Two breath’s time… A hundred breath’s time… Even when the time it took for an incense to burn had passed, the Divine Battle Spirit remained silent.

A wry smile appeared on his face as he said, “Looks like the amount of pills needed for the Divine Battle Spirit’s next level dramatically increases after each level up. If that’s the case, I’m not sure how many pills I would need for the ninth-grade Huang rank, or even Xuan ranked.”

Qin Nan let out a quiet sigh, but he was only disappointed for a brief while.

It was overwhelming that the Divine Battle Spirit could be upgraded in the first place; thus, it was acceptable to spend quite an amount of pills to do so.

“For now, I guess I should focus on improving my cultivation.”

Qin Nan soon calmed himself down, and released his Divine Battle Spirit; the Qi in the surroundings was soon absorbed by it.
