Dashing Student

Chapter 1441 - 1439: The First Signs Emerge

Perhaps Chen Nan’s disdainful expression was too obvious, as Yun Ying immediately caught it and angrily stood with hands on her hips, staring at Chen Nan."Why, don’t you believe me?"

Chen Nan shook his head and said with a smile: "I just think the Female Knight treats cultivation too much like child’s play. To reach the Fifth-Level Golden Core Realm, it takes several years, and even prodigies can’t do it."

Yun Ying snorted and raised her head proudly: "That’s why you are my junior brother; your vision is truly poor. As for me, your senior sister, I’m a genius. Do you know what a genius is?"

"It took me a hundred years to enter the Golden Core Realm, but from First-Layer Golden Core Realm to Second-Layer Golden Core Realm, it only took three days!"

"Hmm? How is that possible?" Chen Nan was taken aback; not even with cheats could it be so fast.

But Yun Ying seemed to have no reason to lie to him.

"Hehe, shocked, aren’t you?" Yun Ying laughed triumphantly: "Master gave me an elixir pill, and after sleeping, I reached the Second-Layer Golden Core Realm."

"Master said that after reaching the Golden Core Realm, I awakened, so I cultivated so rapidly. Master has many elixir pills, after consuming them, I’ll definitely quickly reach the Fifth-Level Golden Core Realm!"

The more Chen Nan listened, the more off it seemed. No wonder Yun Ying’s foundation felt somewhat unstable; her reaching the Second-Layer Golden Core Realm was certainly not a result of normal cultivation.

Perhaps it’s because of the elixir pills? There are indeed pills that enhance a realm instantly, but they can only be consumed once in a lifetime.

Moreover, everyone in Moon River Valley seems to treat Yun Ying very well, Chen Nan couldn’t understand why they would let Yun Ying enhance her cultivation in such a forceful way.

"Maybe I’m overthinking it." Chen Nan thought to himself.

Having seen many intrigues and plots in the Cultivation World, he couldn’t help but doubt everything he saw.

"Here we are, this is the Medical Hall." Yun Ying pointed to a small hut in front.

The hut looked like a mortal’s dwelling, fenced with branches forming a small courtyard, simple yet with a back-to-basics feel.

At this time, several disciples emerged from the hut, and seeing Yun Ying, they saluted her: "Junior Sister."

"Greetings, Senior Brothers." Yun Ying said nonchalantly: "Is Master Mei Gui in the Medical Hall?"

"Master is inside."

"Alright, got it."

Yun Ying pulled Chen Nan into the Medical Hall, where a plain-looking woman was sitting in the hut, holding a thick medical book.

The woman wore plain clothes, her hair simply tied behind her head, the whole person looked very simple, her expression cold, but upon seeing Yun Ying, she immediately stood up, showing a warm smile.

"Yun Ying? Why have you come here? Are you hurt somewhere?"

Yun Ying waved her hands repeatedly: "Master Mei Gui, I’m fine, just sending a disciple to you, he’s my junior brother, and you must take good care of him."

Chen Nan timely stepped forward and cupped his hands toward Mei Gui: "Disciple Chen Nan, greetings Elder."

Mei Gui nodded slightly to Chen Nan: "Are you a medical cultivator?"

"Yes, disciple is skilled in medicine."

"Good, then you shall stay in the Medical Hall from now on."

"Thank you, Elder." Chen Nan smiled.

Only then did Yun Ying feel reassured, it seemed as if she hadn’t arranged properly, her only junior brother would run away: "Junior Brother, rest assured and stay in the Medicine Hall, I’ll return to see you when I can."

"Yes, Female Knight."

The two shared a smile, and Yun Ying then skipped away. After she left, Mei Gui looked at Chen Nan: "Are you injured?"

Chen Nan was slightly surprised, but still answered honestly: "Yes, disciple was hunted down, luckily Yun Ying Senior Sister picked me up, otherwise I’d have died outside."

"Hmm, since you are a medical cultivator, you can handle the treatment yourself. You are allowed to use the spiritual medicine in the Medical Hall, but you need my approval."

Chen Nan thought that was a great opportunity, so he eagerly agreed, and without hesitation, picked several spiritual medicines from the Medical Hall, none too precious, Seventh Grade Spiritual Medicine.

Mei Gui glanced twice, then nodded to Chen Nan, before returning to her seat to read the medical book.

Chen Nan went outside the hut, where there were various tools for brewing medicine. He immediately began to prepare his medicine, turning all the herbs into a bowl, which he downed in one gulp, feeling instantly warm.

Afterward, he found a place inside the hut to sit down and started refining the medicine’s power, repairing his meridians, restoring his vital energy, and gently purifying the four Yin Energy threads embedded in his flesh.

Time flew quickly, and soon it was evening. Mei Gui got up and stretched, seeing Chen Nan still cultivating, she left the hut without saying a word.

"From now on, you will live in the hut, I live outside. Come to me if you encounter something you can’t resolve."

Chen Nan opened his eyes and nodded: "Understood, Elder."

Behind the hut were several grass houses, Mei Gui walked into one of them, seeming truly to have plans to let Chen Nan manage the hut.

"I’ve already met two Elders and the Sect Leader, all three are Ninth-Layer Golden Core Realm, this information Yun Ying never mentioned; perhaps they’ve concealed their cultivation, and even Yun Ying doesn’t know?"

Chen Nan increasingly felt Moon River Valley wasn’t simple, as if it was hiding some secrets.

However, his main concern now was to restore his cultivation, and so he began healing again.

The next day, Mei Gui indeed didn’t come to the hut, and Chen Nan enjoyed his peace; but just after noon, several disciples hurriedly came to the hut.
