Chapter 291 - Digging Up Treasures in Jianghuang City
"The Divine Battle Spirit has leveled up to the ninth-grade Xuan rank!"
Qin Nan's eyes were filled with a hint of joy.
Each time the Divine Battle Spirit leveled up, not only was his speed of cultivation increased, it would also bring great benefits to his power.
"Keep going! Keep going!"
Qin Nan calmed his thoughts and started devouring handfuls of Martial Ancestor Pills once again!
One hundred thousand!
Eight hundred thousand!
Two million!
Two million four hundred and ninety thousand!
When Qin Nan had finished consuming all of the Martial Ancestor Pills, the Divine Battle Spirit uttered a roar once again as a tenth green light was emitted from its back, indicating it to be a tenth-grade Xuan ranked Martial Spirit!
"Tenth-grade Xuan ranked!"
Qin Nan took a deep breath.
An eighth-grade Xuan ranked Martial Spirit alone was enough to bring utter astonishment to the Peak Leaders and the Imperial Exterminator. How would they react when they saw a tenth-grade Xuan ranked Martial Spirit?
It was highly possible that his Martial Spirit was one of the top-ranked Martial Spirits within the entire lower district!
"I've also acc.u.mulated one hundred and fifty one streams of Chaos Qi inside my body!"
Qin Nan's eyes glistened.
One hundred and fifty one streams of Chaos Qi would be equivalent to one hundred and fifty one Emperor Weapons if he were to use all of them to repair Emperor Weapons, a.s.suming that he had sufficient fragments in the first place.
How crazy were one hundred and fifty one Emperor Weapons?
When used together, it'd be possible to destroy the entirety of Jianghuang City!
If these Emperor Weapons were to be traded, it would result in a terrifying fortune. The thought alone was enough to cause his scalp to turn numb!
"I shall repair all the remaining Emperor Weapon fragments."
With a thought, the Chaos Qi acc.u.mulated inside his body was emitted from the tip of his finger, which landed on two of the Emperor Weapon fragments.
These two Emperor Weapon fragments appeared to be a fragmented paG.o.da and a fragmented bell. After absorbing the streams of Chaos Qi, they immediately let out brilliant glows as their core formations were restored. Following this, a total of twelve Emperor Weapon fragments shattered into pieces and merged with the two glowing fragments as the Chaos Qi began to evolve into Weapon Spirits. In just less than ten breaths' time, the magical paG.o.da and magical bell were completely repaired!
"As expected of the Chaos Qi, extremely fascinating!"
Qin Nan was incredibly joyful, as he stored the two Emperor Weapons and the longsword into his bag.
"Let's go buy some fragments first. I still have twelve thousand Arcane Realm Stones on me, enough to buy a huge amount of fragments!"
Qin Nan mumbled to himself.
Among the twenty three Emperor Weapon fragments given by the Maple Prince, twenty one of them had been consumed, and the remaining two were not enough for the repairing process.
After making up his mind, he swiftly left the residence.
……
……
...On the Street of Gold Sc.r.a.ping...
The news regarding someone finding a Sacred Weapon fragment and the Divine Swordmaster's record at the Ancient Gambling Store had already been spread to the public. This resulted in countless cultivators being astonished and deciding to try their luck at the Ancient Gambling Store too.
As a result, the other vendors on the Street of Gold Sc.r.a.ping were feeling dull, as the profits they earned today was ten times less.
"My friend, what's the price for these fragments?" Qin Nan stood in front of a stall and pointed his finger at a pile of fragments.
"One hundred Arcane Realm Stones each!" The vendor's eyes flickered as he immediately spoke, "My friend, the way we sell the fragments are different compared to the Ancient Gambling Store. There is no forbidding aura being added to the fragments. All these fragments were retrieved from ancient forbidden areas. If you are able to identify them, feel free to choose any fragment you are interested in."
"I see."
Qin Nan let out a groan, and pretended to have a hard time trying to pick the right fragments. He then took out six hundred Arcane Realm Stones and bought six of the fragments.
With the help of his left eye of the Divine G.o.d of Battle, he discovered that among these six fragments there was one Dominator Weapon fragment and five Emperor Weapon fragments.
The vendor turned joyful upon seeing this. He had already asked the appraisers of the Trading Alliance to inspect these fragments, and according to their observations, these six fragments were all pieces of junk. Therefore, it would be a total profit to sell them all in one go.
Qin Nan was not interested in knowing the thoughts of the vendor, as he continued to search for valuable fragments within the street.
After spending the entire morning, he ended up ransacking all the valuable fragments from the vendors, which cost him a total of four thousand Arcane Realm Stones. In return, he managed to find ten Dominator Weapon fragments and thirty Emperor Weapon fragments. As for Sacred Weapon fragments, there were none he could find from the stalls.
"It seems like that's the end of the Street of Gold Sc.r.a.ping. I shall take a look at the Treasure-Selling Street!"
Qin Nan was slightly disappointed. After spending his entire morning buying the fragments, they were only enough to repair a Dominator Weapon and four Emperor Weapons.
However, what he did not know was that, two days after he left, countless cultivators who planned to try their luck at the Street of Gold Sc.r.a.ping could not buy a single fragment that was useful.
It was acceptable for this to happen two or three times, but the same outcome took place over ten or even a hundred times. As a result, the cultivators all burst out scolding at the vendors, as they a.s.sumed it was the vendors scamming them.
The vendors were lost for words, but after they were told that the one discovering the Sacred Weapon fragment and the Divine Swordmaster's record at the Ancient Gambling Store turned out to be a young man marked with three black lines, their faces were filled with utter regret.
Since then, Qin Nan had spent his time visiting various places selling treasures. Although the Trading Alliance had totally blacklisted him, Qin Nan managed to buy quite an amount of fragments by offering a much higher price, which resulted in him spending all his Arcane Realm Stones.
"Twenty one Dominator Weapon fragments and sixty three Emperor Weapon fragments!"
Qin Nan stood in the residence staring at the pile of various fragments before him, as his eyes were engulfed in l.u.s.tful flames.
Without hesitation, he fired nine streams of Chaos Qi onto nine Emperor Weapon fragments, causing them to glow brightly, as their core formations were restored and the Chaos Qi transformed into Weapon Spirits, allowing them to regain their previous outstanding power.
"The Dominator Weapons are next!"
Qin Nan fired three streams of Chaos Qi once again, but this time, although the Dominator Weapon fragments slightly reacted, it was extremely weak.
"Hmm? One stream of Chaos Qi is not enough?"
Qin Nan was slightly startled, but after deducing the reason behind it, he immediately fired streams of Chaos Qi continuously… After emitting twenty seven streams of Chaos Qi, the three Dominator Weapon fragments were finally restored, resulting in a blinding glow.
"It appears that each of the Dominator Weapon fragments requires ten streams of Chaos Qi. I currently have one hundred and eight streams of Chaos Qi left! After spending forty three streams of Chaos Qi and fourteen thousand Arcane Realm Stones, I've repaired a total of three Dominator Weapons and eleven Emperor Weapons!"
Qin Nan exhaled his breath.
Three Dominator Weapons!
Eleven Emperor Weapons!
If he were to sell them all, he would definitely earn a fortune from it!
"Ok, time to visit Princess Miao Miao and the others."
Qin Nan spent some time collecting his thoughts. He had already spent two days here. Princess Miao Miao and the others would be worried if he did not returned soon.
Qin Nan swiftly left the residence and arrived at Houzi's place.
As soon as he stepped past the entrance, he could hear the Longhu Ancestor Beast's furious voice, "Qin Nan, you're finally back! I'll make this clear, we must declare war against those f**king a.s.sholes of the Trading Alliance, and turn their faction upside down! If you are not brave enough to do so, our friends.h.i.+p ends here. I'll do it myself!"
"That's right, they shall not be forgiven!"
Princess Miao Miao's face turned utterly cold as a murderous aura was emitted from her body.

Chapter 292 - A Heaven-Shaking Plan
Houzi, who was standing at the side, s.h.i.+vered tremendously. He was utterly regretful now. I shouldn't have involved myself in this mess for a few Arcane Realm Stones.
Qin Nan frowned slightly as he said, "What is it? Why are you so mad?"
"It's all thanks to you!" The Longhu Ancestor Beast said with a furious glare, "Princess Miao Miao and I were gathering information at the Ancient Dragon Auction, and because of what you did at the Ancient Gambling Store, that old f**ker with the name 'Six-Eared Divine Being' hung a banner at the entrance of the Ancient Dragon Auction!"
"A banner?" Qin Nan frowned his eyebrows further.
Princess Miao Miao said in a cold tone, "Do you have any idea what was written on the banner? It reads: 'Qin Nan, Miao Miao, Longhu, and dogs are not allowed'!"
Buzz!
A terrifying murderous intent burst out from Qin Nan's body.
Qin Nan's eyes turned incredibly cold, like a glacier that had existed for ten thousand years, emitting an endless icy aura.
Qin Nan, Miao Miao, Longhu, and dogs are not allowed?
The Trading Alliance was treating them as dogs!
"Well, well, well, how nice of the Trading Alliance, to do such a dirty trick after failing to rob my loot!"
Qin Nan let out an angry laugh.
Before he settled their conflict with the Trading Alliance, his foes could not wait to use such a dirty trick, just to make them feel disgusted!
"Qin Nan, tell me now, are you with me, to f**k 'em up?"
The Longhu Ancestor Beast was extremely furious.
He was considered a n.o.ble due to his ident.i.ty as a descendant of the Heavenly Dragon and Thunderous Tiger, and that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d dared to treat him like a dog? If it weren't for the limitation of his cultivation, he would wage war against the Six-Eared Divine Being!
"The Trading Alliance has gone too far this time. I guess I shall no longer show them any mercy!"
Qin Nan's eyes turned icy, as he immediately took out the badge that Tang Qingshan had left him.
If the Trading Alliance were this shameless, he would not mind to bring them a ma.s.sacre!
Either the Saintess of the Trading Alliance or the Six-Eared Divine Being, they would have to pay for their actions!
The eyes of the Longhu Ancestor Beast and Princess Miao Miao flickered coldly. Their cultivations had only reached the peak of the Martial Ancestor Realm, thus they were still mismatched against a Martial Highness Realm expert. If the Imperial Exterminator were to personally interfere, there was no need to be scared of the Trading Alliance.
However, as Qin Nan was about to transmit his voice, a sudden thought came to his mind.
I have three Dominator Weapons and eleven Emperor Weapons...
The Weapon Spirits of these fourteen weapons were formed using his Chaos Qi, thus he could freely control them...
Sima Kong traded his disguising technique with him...
As he recollected the events that had taken place, a heaven shaking plan suddenly came into sight in his mind!
"Wait!" Qin Nan put the badge from the Imperial Exterminator back into his storage bag and said in a calm tone, "We must avenge ourselves, but there's no need to bother Senior Imperial Exterminator and the others. I've got a plan, and I guarantee that the Trading Alliance would suffer great shame and loss!"
"A plan?"
The Longhu Ancestor Beast and Princess Miao Miao were stunned.
Following this, the Longhu Ancestor Beast said in an enraged tone, "Qin Nan, are you being intimidated? If you don't summon the old freak here, the Ancient Dragon Auction is being guarded by the Six-Eared Divine Being. How could we possibly defeat them?"
"Be quiet, let's listen to what Qin Nan has in mind." Although Princess Miao Miao was doubtful too, she was not in a rush.
"Uh…" The Longhu Ancestor Breast was about to say something, but he remembered how Qin Nan had dared to kill the son of the Sect Leader despite the fact that he was all by himself. It was impossible for a person with such a temper to back off.
Qin Nan was not in a rush to reveal his plan. Instead, he turned to Houzi and asked, "How many days until the Ancient Dragon Auction takes place? What's the requirement for partic.i.p.ating in it?"
"Four days left! In terms of entry, a normal ticket costs fifty Arcane Realm Stones! The VIP seats cost one hundred Arcane Realm Stones each." Houzi answered in an honest tone.
"Here are two Emperor Weapon fragments, sell them and get me three VIP tickets. The remaining one hundred Arcane Realm Stones are all yours!" Qin Nan threw the remaining two fragments of Emperor Weapons into his hands.
"HUH?"
Not only was Houzi shocked, even Princess Miao Miao and the Longhu Ancestor Beast were stunned.
What was Qin Nan trying to do?
There was no way he could enter the Ancient Dragon Auction since he was marked with three black lines. What's the point of buying the tickets?
"Go now!"
Qin Nan demanded.
Houzi immediately collected his thoughts and ran outside. He did not care about the details anymore, since he would be granted one hundred Arcane Realm Stones!
"Qin Nan, what are you…" Princess Miao Miao said with a confused look.
"Listen to me." Qin Nan took a deep breath, and unveiled his plan.
"What the f**k!"
After hearing Qin Nan's plan, the Longhu Ancestor Beast could not help but uttered a swear, as his face reddened due to excitement. He then let out a blasting roar, "Sick! Your plan is so f**king sick! Even the plan of having the Imperial Exterminator ma.s.sacring them all was nothing close to this plan! HAHAHA, the Trading Alliance is going down!"
"Hehe, as expected of the Princess's servant, well done! The auction will definitely have lots of valuables. The Princess is going to buy all of them!"
Princess Miao Miao's face reddened too, resulting in an adorable appearance.
Qin Nan let out a smile. Princess Miao Miao and the Longhu Ancestor Beast were both his friends of life and death, thus extra words were excessive here. He then spoke in a serious tone, "I'll now teach you two the disguising technique. It's best if we are able to master its basics, at least to an extent that the Six-Eared Divine Being will not be able to identify our disguise!"
"Meh, it's just a disguising technique. It won't be a problem for me!" The Longhu Ancestor Beast said in a prideful tone.
"Very well!"
Qin Nan immediately transmitted the 'Mortal Appearance-Transforming Technique' that was recorded inside the scroll to Princess Miao Miao and the Longhu Ancestor Beast.
"Mortal Appearance-Transforming Technique? Meh, the name sounds pretty intimidating!"
The Longhu Ancestor Beast wore an indifferent expression, before he calmed his thoughts and began to comprehend the technique. To his surprise, when he started reading the content of the technique, his face turned utterly pale.
What the f**k… How was it possible to find such an extreme disguising technique?
Qin Nan and Princess Miao Miao both gave him disdainful looks, before they both sat down with their legs crossed and started practicing the technique.
This Mortal Appearance-Changing Technique, I'm not sure if Sima Kong played some tricks, or if he actually didn't have the complete edition; even after mastering it, the disguised appearance could only trick those with a cultivation below the Martial Sacred Realm.
However, since a Martial Highness Realm expert could not even peek through the disguise, Qin Nan was quite satisfied with it.
"The world has tons of possibilities, the heart of Daoism has countless sides."
"The world has no limit, and my flesh has no phase!"
"……"
Qin Nan was immersed in the process of practicing the technique. Due to the presence of his left eye of the Divine G.o.d of Battle, it only took him three hours to comprehend and thoroughly master the technique.
"Change!"
Qin Nan opened his eyes, as his entire physique and aura underwent a tremendous change. He had turned into a long-haired scholarly-looking young man.
Even those extremely familiar with Qin Nan would not be able to identify him.
"What took you so long to learn such an easy technique?" At that instant, a pleasant voiced man with a bulky physique spoke, after letting out a yawn.
"Puff…"
Qin Nan almost vomited after seeing her appearance.
What the h.e.l.l was Princess Miao Miao thinking, to change her appearance into this?
However, at that instant, Qin Nan was aware of a shocking fact; With the aid of his left eye of the Divine G.o.d of Battle, his speed of learning a new technique was considered unbelievable, but it appeared that Princess Miao Miao had taken a shorter time to master it?
Qin Nan instinctively recollected the scene at the Longhu Mountain Range, where Princess Miao Miao had transformed into her primary form, and the Longhu Ancestor Beast had blurted out the term 'Lost Herb Garden'...
"The Princess's background is definitely extraordinary."
Qin Nan mumbled to himself, but he did not overthink it. Following this, he glanced at the Longhu Ancestor Beast.
The Longhu Ancestor Beast was aware that Qin Nan and Princess Miao Miao had both altered their appearances. His face turned extremely red, d.a.m.n it, how did they both master such a difficult technique in such a short time?
"Princess, make sure you don't expose yourself. Let's head to the Ancient Dragon Auction first!"
Time was running short, hence Qin Nan did not waste any longer, as he brought Princess Miao Miao—with the appearance of a bulky man—to leave the residence.

Chapter 293 - First Step Accomplished!
The Ancient Dragon Auction!
It was held in Jianghuang City once every year by the Trading Alliance. Every time it was held, the experts from all places in the lower district would come to Jianhuang City to take part in it. Even Martial Highness Realm experts or the Peak Leaders of the two Sacred Areas would occasionally turn up if there were any valuables.
However, currently standing in the Ancient Dragon Auction, the Six-Eared Divine Being wore an unpleasant expression.
He was the person in charge of the Ancient Dragon Auction this year. However, with the date of the auction approaching, the treasures the Trading Alliance had prepared were not valuable enough for the auction.
"Sigh!"
The Six-Eared Divine Being could not help but let out a sigh.
If the auction this year could not meet the expectations set by the authorities, even with his ident.i.ty, he would surely be punished. Following this, his enemies would take hold of the chance to suppress him.
"What's going on? Why isn't there anyone here to put their treasures up for auction?"
Six-Eared Divine Being could not help but mumble.
In previous years, there would be cultivators taking the initiative to put their findings on auction here at the Ancient Dragon Auction. However, despite the great offers they put up, no one was interested in putting their findings on auction.
Following the thought, he immediately remembered the disrespectful Qin Nan. If it weren't for that G.o.dd.a.m.ned Qin Nan being unwilling to hand over the Sacred Weapon fragment and the Divine Swordmaster's record, he would not be in this miserable state.
At that instant, an old man rushed in with a panicked look, "Master… Master…"
"What is it?"
The Six-Eared Divine Being wore an unpleasant expression. The thing he hated most when he was feeling unpleasant was to have someone talking to him. If this guy did not have an important message, he would surely cripple him with a slap.
"Someone is here to put their items on auction! And it's something extremely valuable! Master Guang is already attending the customer!"
The old man hurriedly said.
"What? Bring me there at once!"
The Six-Eared Divine Being immediately rose from his seat.
……
……
It was a luxurious private room, filled with a pleasant scene. When the Six-Eared Divine Being arrived, he immediately saw a scholarly-looking young man and a bulky man. After discovering their cultivations to be at the half-Martial Emperor Realm and the peak of the Martial Ancestor Realm respectively, he instinctively nodded his head. This young man surely has a formidable background, since he has a peak Martial Ancestor Realm expert as his guard.
Besides that, in the room sat another white-haired elder, whose face was completely reddened. His eyes were engulfed in l.u.s.tful flames as he stared at the fourteen weapons placed on the table!
The Six-Eared Divine Being glanced at the weapons with his Divine Sense, and discovered them to be thirteen Emperor Weapons and three Dominator Weapons. His eyes immediately flickered with great joy. If he were to obtain these weapons, that would no doubt satisfy the needs of the auction.
"Welcome, I am the Six-Eared Divine Being. I'm the person in charge of the current Ancient Dragon Auction." The Six-Eared Divine Being said in a sincere tone, while bringing his fists together.
"Oh."
Qin Nan, who now had an appearance of a scholar, slightly raised his head without glancing at him.
The Six-Eared Divine Being turned slightly mad. He did not expect his customer to be this prideful, but since he had a favor to ask of him, he had no choice but to withhold his anger. He then turned to the white-haired elder and said, "Master Guang, what's going on here?"
Master Guang frowned as he said, "Divine Being, these fourteen weapons here are all real. However, there's a problem; it appears that the Weapon Spirits in these weapons are all of the same type, which is quite strange."
"All of the same type?"
The Six-Eared Divine Being switched his gaze onto Qin Nan's figure.
Qin Nan wore a calm smile and said without showing any hint of being nervous, "Master Guang, right? I've acquired these weapons from a forbidden area. Thus, it's quite common for their Weapon Spirits to be of the same type since they are under the same influence of the place. Besides, it's not necessarily a bad thing for the weapons to have the same type of Weapon Spirits. For example, you can sell three or five of them as a set!"
The eyes of the Six-Eared Divine Being glistened.
What he had just said was right, although it was quite strange for Weapon Spirits to be the same type, it resulted in a benefit too. The bearer of the weapons could refine the weapons at the same time, allowing the bearer to be familiar with the weapons more easily.
"Of course, I'm not fond of the Trading Alliance in the first place, and since you have doubts regarding my sincerity, let's call it off then!"
Qin Nan rose from his seat and took back the fourteen weapons, as he prepared to leave the room.
Master Guang and the Six-Eared Divine Being were startled.
It was their first time seeing someone intending to place their items on auction being so scornful.
The Six-Eared Divine Being immediately blurted out, "Hey friend, let's have a talk. Feel free to let us know if you are unsatisfied with anything regarding the Trading Alliance. Besides, only the Trading Alliance could guarantee the best price if you are planning to put these weapons on auction. Furthermore, we will only be taking two tenths of the profit, and the remainder will all be yours!"
"I don't really care about money."
Qin Nan's eyes coldly flickered as he continued, "Also, what the f**k is wrong with the banner at the entrance? Although you guys have no right to know my name, my surname is Qin too, are you guys cursing me with the banner?"
Curse my a.s.s!
The Six-Eared Divine Being and Master Guang almost vomited blood after hearing this.
It's obvious that we are cursing Qin Nan. How the f**k are you offended because of the fact that you both have the same surname?
Six-Eared Divine Being withheld his anger and forced a smile on his face, "If Young Master Qin doesn't like it, we'll get rid of it at once."
"Hmm, old man, although your ears are quite ugly, I'm pretty satisfied with your competence." Qin Nan said with a complimenting look, as if he was utterly sincere with his words!
BANG!
The Six-Eared Divine Being could feel his brain receiving a great impact.
His ears were only formed after practicing a certain Martial Art—known as the G.o.dly ears.
And this guy dared to call them ugly?
He hated those who described his ears as ugly the most!
"You!"
The Six-Eared Divine Being let out a furious glare. He was slightly suspicious now that this guy was here to disturb them!
"What about me?" Qin Nan's expression turned unpleasant, "Six-Eared Divine Being, I'm only calling you a divine being just because I'm being respectful. Let me tell you, I really hate seeing such an ugly person standing in front of me! How nice of your Trading Alliance; not only are you doubtful toward my weapons, you even committed such a serious sin. There's no room for discussion anymore. Servant, we are leaving!"
Qin Nan turned around and headed to the exit without hesitation.
"This…"
The Six-Eared Divine Being immediately lost half of his anger as he blurted out, "Young Master Qin, please don't leave yet! Let's discuss more regarding the cooperation! One tenth! We'll be taking one tenth of the profit! And you will be taking nine tenths of the profit!"
Qin Nan's footsteps came to a halt, as he turned around, while wearing a smile on his face, "Six-Eared Divine Being, as expected of a divine being, to be so generous. I love to be friends with people like you!"
"……"
The Six-Eared Divine Being and Master Guang were both left speechless on the spot. They finally realized that this Young Master Qin was only pretending to be mad in order to earn another one tenth of the profit.
That being said, the suspicion in their hearts dissipated at that instant. It was reasonable for one to have the desire to earn more money. If this Young Master Qin were willing to sell them the weapons without demanding further, they would be even more suspicious.
"Humph, you will definitely regret after the auction." The Six-Eared Divine Being let out a hysterical laugh in his heart.
Qin Nan and Princess Miao Miao secretly exchanged glances with one another. They both could see a hint of happiness from each other's looks.
The first step of the plan...was accomplished!
