Peerless Battle Spirit
chapter-1048

“Such a unique wine aroma, it alone is enough to indicate how extraordinary the wine must be. It must be on par with the wines produced by the Immortal Coupling!” The Old Illusionist was shocked. He loved wines, thus he was quite knowledgeable in the field.

“Could it be that asshole Qin Nan?” Nangong Wei asked.

“I don’t think so.” Qin Hou let out a hollow laugh, “That Qin Nan is only a Peak Leader of the Dragon Emperor Clan, there’s nothing special about his background, thus I don’t think he’d be able to take out such a high-quality wine! Either way, we should go take a look!”

The Old Illusionist and Nangong Wei nodded.

It would be great if they were able to find some fortunate encounter.

However, at that instant, a hoarse voice appeared, “You three, stop right there. The place ahead is not somewhere you want to go.”

An old man appeared on the tree in front of the trio.

The trio was startled.

They never thought that there would be someone else there other than them.

“Who are you?”

The Old Illusionist calmed his thoughts and asked.

“That’s not your business.” The old man calmly said, “If you value your life, leave at once.”

Following this, a faint monarch glow was emitted from the old man’s figure.

The three were astounded.

Either the man was a half-Martial Monarch or a real Martial Monarch. No matter what cultivation he possessed, it was unwise for them to offend him.

Besides, taking the wine aroma into account, there must be something unimaginable taking place in the area ahead.

“Let’s go! We’ll come up with a plan!” The Old Illusionist transmitted his voice before he turned around and left without hesitation. Qin Hou and Nangong Wei were not satisfied with the outcome, but they did not dare to express it on their faces, thus they quietly left the place.

The old man stared at the trio for a while, before he turned around and cast a glance toward the valley.

Letting out a sigh, the old man’s figure slowly disappeared in a rift, whose aura somehow merged with the Heavens and Earth.

The trio would be glad about their decision if they saw this. Otherwise, they would have to suffer the wrath of a Martial Monarch Realm expert.

…Meanwhile, at the Lunar-Glow Cave…

The atmosphere inside the cave was light.

Princess Miao Miao’s face was slightly red, possibly due to drinking the wine, which seemed extremely attractive and urged people to bite it.

“Only a bit left for our second cups. I wish you the best of luck, to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm and the Martial God Realm in the near future. Once that happens, do remember to collect all sorts of immortal wines for me.” Princess Miao Miao said with squinted eyes.

“Cough cough, thanks, Princess. I’ll collect them for you in the future.”

Qin Nan was slightly embarrassed as he emptied the cup.

The taste was delightful as usual, while the formidable Qi was absorbed by the nine Martial Trees.

Buzz…

Following a soft buzz…

The nine Martial Trees grew another inch taller, reaching a height of seven-zhang and five-zhang respectively.

His cultivation finally had a breakthrough!

“My cultivation has ranked up!”

Qin Nan was overjoyed.

It was incredibly hard to level up nine Martial Trees at the same time, but he did not expect it to be so easy this time.

As Princess Miao Miao detected the change in Qin Nan’s aura, she knew that his cultivation had just ranked up. She was about to congratulate him when she was suddenly aware of something, causing her expression to change as she cast a glance toward the entrance. She swiftly collected her thoughts, allowing her expression to return to normal.

“Qin Nan, your cultivation ranked up?” Princess Miao Miao said with sparkling eyes, “These are the final cups. Why don’t you say a toast, and we’ll empty them in one go?”

“My turn to say a toast?”

Qin Nan did not notice the Princess’ reaction. He raised the cup and recalled everything that had happened in the past, which surfaced in his heart like a surging tide.

Seeing the glamorous Princess just a few inches away from him, he took a deep breath and said in a sincere manner, “Princess, this toast is for you. I know you’re a typical sharp-tongued but soft-hearted person. You like to bully me on the surface, but you really care about me. I thank the Heavens for giving me the chance to meet you.”

The cup was emptied in one go.

Princess Miao Miao was slightly startled, as she felt some strings in her heart being plucked at.

“Humph, you’re the sharp-tongued and soft-hearted person.” Princess Miao Miao twisted her lips.

Qin Nan chuckled. He was about to speak when a formidable Qi exploded in his body.

“Use it to refine the Ownerless Martial Trees you’ve collected!” Princess Miao Miao said.

Qin Nan nodded as he took out the Martial Trees and covered them with the flame of his heart, absorbing their force into his body.

Under the showering of two sources of energies, the nine Martial Trees that had ranked up began to grow rapidly once again.

At that instant, Qin Nan only felt himself to be a furnace, while a dizzy feeling struck his head.

“I…I think I’m a bit drunk.” Qin Nan rubbed his head.

Despite how powerful the nine Martial Trees were, they were not strong enough for Qin Nan to drink two cups of the Pure Magical Wine in one go.

“Mm, the force inside your body has stabilized. You can rest soon.” Princess Miao Miao said softly, “But before that, I’ve something to teach you. Give me your left hand.”

Although Qin Nan was quite dizzy, he still obeyed and reached out his left hand.

Princess Miao Miao also reached out with her left hand. Her thumb pressed onto Qin Nan’s thumb while her little pinky coiled around Qin Nan’s, emitting a faint magical glow.

“This is the Heart-Binding Seal of our Lost Herb Garden. I’ll be notified when you’re in danger.” Princess Miao Miao said.

“Will I know if you’re in danger too?” Qin Nan tried to stay awake.

“Mm.”

“That’s good then.”

“You should rest, you drunkard.”

“I’m not…”

Qin Nan mumbled as he lay down after feeling extremely dizzy. The nine Martial Trees in his body grew at a steady pace.

Princess Miao Miao stared at Qin Nan’s face as her lips curled upward. She took out three ancient incense sticks from her ring and placed them before the Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder before lighting them up.

“Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder, I know you have your own conscious. Do you mind being our witness today?”

Princess Miao Miao asked.

The Chaotic Nine Glows Boulder buzzed slightly, as if it had agreed.

Princess Miao Miao smiled, before she turned around and glanced at Qin Nan.

Qin Nan was breathing at a steady pace, as if he had fallen deeply asleep.

After all, the three ancient incense sticks were capable of calming anyone’s thoughts and resting their souls. Even an ordinary peak Martial Progenitor Realm expert was not able to resist it.

“Humph, you stupid log, dumbass, idiot!” Princess Miao Miao scolded, venting her spleen before she took out a purple crystal bed and a mink blanket from her ring.

Seeing the two objects, Princess Miao Miao’s face blushed instantly.
