Chapter 554 - Inner and Outer Focus (2/2)

The Third Prince stood in the middle of the crowd as he spoke. The princes nodded in agreement. At that instant, the Third Prince had vaguely become the leader among them, speaking with authority.

“Do you believe me now?” Longhu and the Ninth Prince, Song Yu, were the first ones to take their leave. Longhu blurted out after taking a few steps, whose voice could be heard by the other princes.

Even though Song Yu was slightly embarrassed, he was quite relieved. Fortunately, Longhu had handled it well. Otherwise, they would be the ones that had been put to shame.

Qin Nan left with the Third Prince, who could not stop laughing along the journey, an indication of how pleasant he was feeling.

“Third Prince, I’ve got a request.” Qin Nan came to a halt and asked suddenly, “Is it alright if I take the Five-Flowered Godly Brew?”

“Duan Qing, you’re a fan of wines too?” The Third Prince was surprised.

“Not really.” A smile appeared on Qin Nan’s face. He was not a fan himself, but Princess Miao Miao really loved them. This Five-Flowered Godly Brew seemed to be a great wine. She would stop scolding him after he gifted it to her, right?

Upon having this thought, Qin Nan was slightly confused. The Princess could use the Illusionary Mirror to contact him once every month despite the distance between them. However, it had been a few months since she had last contacted him. What was she currently up to?

“I guess I’ll not ask any further.” The Third Prince waved his hand and threw a storage bag toward Qin Nan, before he said with a smile, “It’s all thanks to your contribution today, so you should take both the Five-Flowered Godly Brew and the Heart-Uniting Liquid. These are great wines, make sure you treat them preciously.”

The Third Prince could not help but emphasize at the end.

“Heart-Uniting Liquid?”

Qin Nan was startled. He had only been asking for one of the wines but the Third Prince had gifted him both of them. He was about to say something when he saw the Third Prince shaking his head at him, thus he got rid of the thought and kept the storage bag in his chest pocket.

“This is the difference between him and other people; the Death Emperor who was recruited by the First Prince was defeated in the contest, and the First Prince did not even stop to pull him up. Meanwhile, I only had a small victory, but the Third Prince did not hesitate to gift me the wines even though he treated them preciously. His personality is impressive…” Qin Nan mumbled to himself.

Among all the princes, only the Third Prince had dared to find him and gifted him a priceless copper piece during their first encounter.

Qin Nan could not help but admit that the Third Prince did have the behavior of a true emperor.

When they arrived at the Third Prince’s residence, Uncle Lin brought his fists together and expressed his gratitude in a sincere manner. Following this, the Third Prince immediately said, “Duan Qing, I believe that many will know what happened at the gathering due to the scene we made. It’s only five days until the trial of the Dragon Abyss Mystical Ground. We should be careful until then.”

The Third Prince had always acted behind the scenes, and he had finally emerged to the surface and become the limelight. Therefore, the First Prince, the Second Prince, the Ninth Prince, and the other princes would surely make their moves and treat the Third Prince seriously from now onward, striking him from different directions.

In addition to the Third Prince, they would be targeting Qin Nan too.

It was because Qin Nan’s current identity—which was somehow related to Di Fengyun—was extremely sensitive in the eyes of the public.

Besides, Qin Nan had also revealed his strength, thus their opponents would most likely alter their tactics in order to win the trial at the Dragon Abyss Mystical Ground.

“Five days left? I shall cultivate in seclusion within this period to further improve my cultivation.”

Qin Nan’s eyes flickered as he spoke.

Many geniuses including the Death Emperor would be taking part in the trial of the Dragon Abyss Mystical Ground. Therefore, he had to improve his strength and try his best to take a hold of the rare opportunity to eliminate the Death Emperor during the trial.

“If you’re planning to cultivate, take my royal badge. You can freely enter any cultivation ground in White Tiger City with it.” The Third Prince mumbled and handed Qin Nan a golden dragon badge.

“Any cultivation ground?” Qin Nan received the badge with awe.

“In our White Tiger City, there are many cultivation grounds established with magical formations. Take a look at this scroll. It contains the information about those places…” The Third Prince threw a scroll into Qin Nan’s hand and said with a smile.

“I see.”

Qin Nan caught the scroll and nodded his head. These cultivation grounds were most likely similar to the Aquamarine Chamber of the Ninth City.

“Let’s take a look.”

Qin Nan opened the scroll and saw a floating pattern, which clearly described the top five cultivation grounds of White Tiger City.

“Water Curtain Cave, built with a formidable water-type formation. It’s split into the basic, intermediate, advanced, and superior rooms. The cost to cultivate in a basic room for a day is a few hundred Primary Stones…”

“Fiery Mirage Pagoda, established with a fire-type formation. It’s split into the basic, intermediate, advanced, and superior rooms. Due to the lack of fire-type cultivation grounds, the cost to cultivate in a basic room for a day is a thousand Primary Stones…”

Qin Nan continued to read the information, whose eyes flickered as he reached the end.

This one sounds quite interesting.

“I’ll excuse myself then.”

Qin Nan put the scroll aside. With the royal badge, he could cultivate for free for a month without the need to pay any Primary Stones.

The Third Prince raised his head and gave Qin Nan a sharp look, who immediately learned of his intention, causing his eyes to be filled with battle intent.

The Third Prince would focus on the outer aspects by dealing with his opponents using his authority.

Qin Nan would focus on the inner aspects by improving his cultivation in order to come first in the trial of the Dragon Abyss Mystical Ground!

They would both advance while focusing on their respective parts and defeat all enemies they stumbled into!
