Chapter 39: Arrogance in the extreme
Outwardly, the astral energy can be transformed into thousands of forms, eighteen kinds of weapons such as swords, spears, swords and halberds, dragons, elephants, oxen, tigers and other kinds of exotic beasts, and even transform wings to fly, soaring in the sky, but all of this must be supported by a strong spiritual intention, in order to allow the astral energy to leave the body and not collapse afterward.
Those loose cultivators who had not undergone systematic training often did not know the importance of refining their spiritual ideas, and were easily trapped in the realm of the inner astral deity, unable to go further and cultivate into the outer astral deity.
However, the sons of great families and valiants knew the importance of refining the Spirit because they were guided by masters and practiced systematically, and they also had strong enough financial resources, so they often took pills such as the Divine Traveling Pill to nourish the Spirit.
Jiang Nan had previously taken the Divine Embracing Pill to nourish his spirit, and after coming to the Pill King's Mansion, he had also refined quite a few Divine Traveling Pills, and even possessed such martial arts as the Divine Seal of the Ming King, which was specialized in strengthening the spiritual intent, however, his spirit was not yet strong enough to support the Heavenly Roc Feathering Technique and this kind of profound heart method.
After all, the time he had cultivated the Ming Wang Divine Seal was still short, and he was still in the Qi Refining realm, so the quality of his true qi was still not comparable to that of astral qi.
True qi was true qi, and no matter how much spiritual intent was added, it could never be comparable to true astral qi.
However, compared to other martial arts experts of the same level, Jiang Nan's spiritual intent was already too strong to be considered. If anyone else were to cultivate the Heavenly Roc Feathering Grand Technique, they would only be afraid that they would never even be able to construct the Golden Wings of the Roc.
He performed Lotus Seal, Treasure Vase Seal, and other sealing techniques to quickly recover his spiritual intent, and thought, "If my spirit is strong enough, isn't it true that I don't need to cultivate to the realm of the Outer Deity in order to be able to transform my wings and fly?"
Jiang Nan's spirit perked up as he thought of this, and he got up and went out, heading towards the Pill King Mansion's Myriad Pill Pavilion, "Since that's the case, then I'll seek out the formula of the pills that Divine Wheel ranked powerhouses use to quench and nourish their spirits, and I'll concoct a few stoves of my own pills to nourish my spirit, and I'll completely cultivate this Heavenly Roc Feathering Grand Technique!"
"Surnamed Jiang, do you still want to leave?"
Jiang Nan walked out of his residence, and when he passed by a stone bridge, he saw six or seven young men and women standing on the bridge, blocking his way, and one of them was Lu Zhongxiang, who said fiercely to the white-robed man at the head, "Brother Qingquan, that man is Jiang Nan, Jiang Zichuan, and your younger brother Qin Nan died at his hands! Your brother has no grudge against this guy, yet he has been repeatedly insulted by him, this is clearly having a hard time with your Mu Wangfu, deliberately trying to make your Mu Wangfu look bad!"
"Mu Qingquan of the Mu Wang Mansion?"
Jiang Nan's heart was flabbergasted, he had heard of Mu Qingquan, rumor had it that this person was one of the most outstanding sons of the Mu Wangfu, he had cultivated into the peak of the Inner Dipper at a young age, he had once challenged the young Qi King, Qi Feng, and was defeated by Qi Feng's hand.
Qi Feng was recognized as the number one strongest person in the younger generation, and since Mu Qingquan was qualified to challenge him, his strength was indeed extraordinary.
As a matter of fact, Mu Qingquan did give him an extremely outstanding feeling, standing amongst the crowd as if he was a divine tree, standing out from the rest, showing his extraordinary strength.
Mu Qingquan's gaze was cold as he looked toward Jiang Nan and opened his mouth, "Surnamed Jiang, can there be such a thing?"
Jiang Nan nodded his head and said, "Indeed."
Mu Qingquan said indifferently, "So it was you who killed my brother?"
Jiang Nan did not deny it and sighed with a strangled sigh, "Heaven envies the talented. Your brother was young and promising and had a bright future ahead of him, but he was in league with the five eunuchs under the Second Prince's command and attempted to kill me, and I mistakenly killed him, so he deserved to die. However, brother Qingquan, don't worry, your brother was killed by me with a single palm strike, and died in an incomparably dry manner, without suffering much pain."
Mu Qingquan's eyes flashed with a flash of sternness, and he sneered, "Deserved to die? Are you allowed to comment on whether my brother deserved it or not? If my brother wanted to kill you, you should have tied your hands and let him beat you to death, even if he deserved it, it's my Mu Wangfu who will judge him, it's not your turn to interrupt. Since you beat him to death, then today I will beat you to death so that you can give him a burial."
He spoke lightly, as if everything was taken for granted.
"Brother Qingquan shouldn't rush into action first."
Suddenly, a young male next to Mu Qingquan laughed, "This Jiang Nan Jiang Zichuan still has secrets on him that make my little brother very curious, so it's not too late for you to kill him after I ask him."
Mu Qingquan nodded gently and said, "Brother Zhong Liang please."
That young gentleman strides forward, standing at the bridge head looking down on Jiang Nan, his face suddenly becomes incomparably gloomy, as if interrogating a prisoner, and chillingly says: "Jiang Zichuan, I heard that the martial arts you are practicing is very similar to the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique of my Qi Royal House, and it has a different flavor, I will restrict you to turn over this masterpiece, in its original form, and I will be able to plead with Brother Mu on your behalf, and spare I'll even ask Brother Mu for leniency and spare you a whole body!"
"You are Qi Zhongliang?"
Jiang Nan's heart stirred, he had been a slave in the Qi King's Mansion, and had heard of Qi Zhongliang's name, Qi Zhongliang was the second only to Qi Feng among all the children of the Qi King's Mansion, with a powerful strength, and was also a peak expert of the Inner Dipper, and was not comparable to characters such as Qi Shan.
Qi Zhongliang did not recognize Jiang Nan, after all, there were thousands and thousands of slaves in the Qi King's Mansion, and as a prominent figure in the Qi King's Mansion, how could he pay attention to those humble slaves?
The only reason why he paid attention to Jiang Nan was because the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique that Jiang Nan utilized was similar to the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique of his Qi King's Mansion, which made him curious about Jiang Nan's mind techniques.
"Qi Zhongliang, your Qi Wangfu is too overbearing, isn't it?"
Jiang Nan laughed coldly, "Asking me to hand over my Heart Technique just because it has a few similarities with your Qi Wangfu's Jedi, it's a bit too overbearing!"
"Not bad, my Qi Wangfu is bullying people too much!"
Qi Zhongliang's aura gradually liberalized, giving off an impression like a fierce tiger displaying its claws and teeth, dangerous and incomparable, he coldly laughed and said, "You must hand over this technique, my Qi Wangfu's Dragon Tiger Elephant Force Technique is unique, and even similar techniques are not allowed to appear in the world! If you don't hand it over, I can kill you without waiting for Brother Qing Quan to make a move!"
"Brother Zhong Liang is at ease."
Suddenly another person laughed coldly and said, "If he hit my Marquis of Lu, he is hitting my Marquis of Lu's face, no matter what, my Marquis of Lu has to recover this face. Before you guys kill him, my little brother will slap him a thousand times!"
Jiang Nan looked towards the man, only to see that the man was stout, dark-skinned and majestic, frowning, "And who are you?"
The man sneered slightly, his aura blossomed steeply, surprisingly not weaker than the duo of Mu Qingquan and Qi Zhongliang in the slightest, and said in a deep voice, "Marquis Lu Jinggong. Jiangnan Jiang Zichuan, you are nothing but a foreigner who fled to my Jianwu Country, thinking that with your skills you can do whatever you want with impunity. Unbeknownst to you, you are nothing more than a lost dog in my eyes, a character like you, I can crush to death with a single finger!"
Jiang Nan was dumbfounded, "There was once an Outer Deity powerhouse who didn't even leave me behind, just with these few cats and dogs of yours, you want me to fold my arms? You guys think too highly of yourselves!"
"Arrogant!"
Qi Zhongliang, Mu Qingquan and Lu Jinggong shouted angrily in unison, the three of them were men of the three great families, but to be called cats and dogs by Jiangnan, how could they not be angry?
"Brother Mu, Brother Lu, you guys don't make a move first, I'll capture this person first and make a good concoction!"
Qi Zhongliang stepped forward, his aura expanding steeply, climbing to the peak in an instant, and he was about to make a move, when suddenly he only saw Yue Feng running in sweating profusely, and said in a loud voice, "A few of you, don't make a move first! Elder brother Jiang is kind to my Pill King's Mansion, if you guys move him, I won't be able to explain in front of the King!"
Qi Zhongliang showed scorn in his eyes and stopped, hesitating, "It's a bit hard to do when Prince Yue wants to protect him ......"
Although he was one of the most outstanding sons of the Qi Wangfu, regardless of his status and position, or his cultivation strength, he was far inferior to Pill King Yue Shiting, and the Qi Wangfu would be even less likely to fall out with the Pill Kingfu because of him.
After all, the Pill King Mansion controlled the majority of the country's spirit pills, if the Pill King Mansion was angered and stopped the supply of spirit pills to the Qi Wangfu, I'm afraid that the Qi Wangfu's strength would steeply drop by a large margin!
Mu Qingquan and Lu Jinggong and the others were also in awe in their hearts, and they held the same scruples.
"Since Brother Yue Shiyi has given the word, we will naturally obey without fail."
Mu Qingquan arched his hand towards Yue Feng, turned his head towards Jiang Nan and said indifferently, "However, Shiyi Brother Yue, after leaving Pill King City, the Pill King's Palace will not intervene anymore, right?"
Yue Feng was not in a good position to offend them, and laughed, "As long as we don't make a move in my Pill King's Mansion, everything is fine."
Mu Qingquan glared fiercely at Jiang Nan, striding forward, and coldly said as he passed by Jiang Nan, "In that case, then for the sake of Prince Yue, I will spare your little life first, and send you back to the west when you leave the Pill King's Mansion!"
Yue Feng sighed in relief and wiped away the bean-sized beads of sweat on his forehead.
Lu Jinggong walked past Jiangnan in large strides and sneered, "Kid, count your life as good!"
Qi Zhongliang, with his hands behind his back, also walked past Jiang Nan and said blandly, "Good fortune? Not necessarily? It's only a matter of dying a few days late, you're still going to die in the future?"
"Bunch of idiots, do you really think you've got me?" Jiang Nan's voice suddenly came from behind them.
Mu Qingquan and the others had already walked out dozens of feet, they couldn't help but be furious when they heard this, they turned around in a hurry, but at this moment, they suddenly only saw countless black feathers fluttering around Jiang Nan, transforming into a pair of black feathered wings behind him, and as soon as they lifted up their wings, a gale of wind blew out, and in an instant, they soared dozens of feet and appeared in front of them, almost only a foot away from Mu Qingquan!
Hoo...
The wild wind rose again, and Jiang Nan returned to his original position, standing on the bridge as if he had never left!
Behind him, a pair of black wings transformed into roiling black feathers, which drilled into his body and disappeared!
"Brother Qi, Brother Mu, and Brother Lu, when I say you are cats and dogs, you are cats and dogs, don't imagine yourselves to be so tall and majestic."
Jiang Nan laughed coldly, turned around and floated away, "If you want to leave me behind, call your fathers, as for you guys, you still need to cultivate for a few more years!"
Mu Qingquan, Qi Zhongliang and the others were green in the face, their hearts were filled with rage, but they could not say anything, because they knew that they only really could not stay Jiang Nan, with Jiang Nan's speed, there were only a few people who could stay with him, the harsh words that they had said earlier were just some foolish jokes in Jiang Nan's view!
"Feathering Kung Fu! What exactly is his origin and how did he become proficient in Feathering Kung Fu?"
"Nope! Isn't it said that only those who have cultivated to the Outer Deity realm can transform their wings and fly? This kid's cultivation is nothing more than that, so how could he possibly perform the Feathering Feat?"
......
Yue Feng was also staring at him with his jaw dropped, unable to speak for a long time, and only after a long time did he come to his senses, "So Brother Jiang actually still possesses this kind of mastery, no wonder he was so sure just now, I thought he was bluffing. It seems that the king thinks so highly of him, not without reason ......"
