"How is that possible?" Mo Li's face was completely twisted, as he lost control of himself and yelled, "You killed Ling Zixiao with your eighth-layer Body Tempering Realm cultivation? Do you think I'm stupid?"
Apart from Mo Li, the five elders and the inner disciples all had unbelieving expressions on their faces.
It was like a fairy tale that Qin Nan had single-handedly killed Ling Zixiao with his current cultivation.
"Is that so?"
Qin Nan let out a calm smile, as a Saber Intent was emitted from his body into his surroundings.
After seeing this, the five elders, the inner disciples, together with Gong Yang and Xiao Qingxue were slightly surprised.
"Qin Nan, have you mastered the Minor Success Stage of the Arcane Realm?" A shocked expression could be seen in Xiao Qingxue's attractive eyes; she then reminded herself of Qin Nan's incredible Martial Talent, and his firm Martial Heart, which made sense now that he had mastered the Minor Success Stage of the Arcane Realm.
The five elders and the inner disciples all took a deep breath. At that moment, they were convinced that Qin Nan had the strength to defeat Ling Zixiao.
They all knew the incredible power granted to one after achieving the Minor Success Stage of the Arcane Realm.
Mo Li opened his mouth wide; the twisted expression on his face was gone, replaced by utter shock.
What is going on here? Qin Nan, a miniscule ant, trash, rubbish. How did he achieve the Arcane Realm?
Not only that, how did he achieve a thousand steps in the Trial of Versatility?
Only now did Mo Li realize the truth.
He inhaled deeply, and said with a dull expression on his face, "Qin Nan, I have been underestimating you all this time. I never expected that with your mere eighth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, you're able to match against the talent and potential of ninth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit bearers. Despite that, since you've killed Ling Zixiao, you and I will be enemies!"
After saying this, Mo Li clenched his teeth and threw over a hundred jade jars onto the ground before leaving the scene.
It would be more embarrassing if he were to stay any longer.
"This Mo Li is definitely a trickier opponent than Ling Zixiao; he managed to hold himself together despite what just happened. I shall not let him get away so easily if I have the chance in the future.," said Qin Nan to himself, as he glanced at Mo Li's departing figure, before switching his focus onto the jade jars on the ground.
Qin Nan had never seen Martial Emperor Pills before. He instinctively licked his lips upon seeing them for the first time, as he could feel a rich amount of Qi within the pills, which was at least hundred times more than Xiantian Pills.
At that instant, Gong Yang recovered from his shock, and took a big step forward and burst out laughing, "Five elders, and my beloved Junior Brothers. Mo Li had already given me the pills, is it now your turn to do so too?"
After hearing this, the five elders and the inner disciples' faces contorted immediately.
However, they did not dare to ignore the bet; thus, they could only withstand the pain in their heart and take out the Martial Emperor Pills.
In a blink of the eye, over a hundred jade jars were placed before Gong Yang; the powerful aura emitting from them caused everyone at the scene to be astonished.
"Well, well, well." Looking at such a large amount of Martial Emperor Pills, even Gong Yang could not help but feel his heart rate increase, as he said in an excited tone, "Qin Nan, if it weren't for your achievement, I won't be able to win so many pills from the bet. I'll give some to you after the five elders finish distributing the prizes."
After hearing this, Qin Nan raised his head and glanced at the five elders.
The white-haired elder figured out Qin Nan's intention, who forced a smile and said, "Fine, let's give out the prizes for the Trial of Versatility."
Upon saying this, the white-haired elder flicked his finger, emitting a few rays of light, which landed on Huang Long, Xiao Leng, and Chu Yun's bodies.
Following this, the white-haired elder waved his hand, and a jade jar landed before Qin Nan as he advised, "This is the Nine Rotation Golden Pill. It's best if you consume it after you've reached the Xiantian Realm for the maximum benefit."
"Sure."
Qin Nan nodded his head and took the jade jar without checking its contents.
"According to the rules of the sect, as you've made history by achieving a thousand steps, you'll be rewarded by the sect." The white-haired elder continued, "On behalf of the sect, I now reward you with ten thousand Xiantian Pills, and a storage bag."
After saying this, the white-haired elder revealed a purple bag from his chest pocket and gave it to Qin Nan.
Upon seeing this, even the inner disciples were astounded, as their faces filled with jealousy.
Ten thousand Xiantian Pills were equivalent to a thousand Martial Emperor Pills. Furthermore, the storage bag was even more precious; even inner disciples would not have one themselves.
"Ten thousand Xiantian Pills, plus a storage bag?"
Qin Nan was startled, his mind was unable to react in time, as he did not expect to receive such tremendous rewards.
At that moment, even with Qin Nan's firm Martial Heart, it felt like a dream to him.
Fortunately, Qin Nan knew that as he was in the limelight of the crowd, he could not expose his feelings too much. He immediately calmed himself down, and received the storage bag with a poker face.
"That's it—that will be the end of the Trial of Versatility. The outer elders will come and bring you to the outer domain." After finishing distributing the prizes, the white-haired elder did not waste any more time, and left the place together with the other four inner elders at once.
The five elders had no intention to stay any longer, as they had once mocked Qin Nan and were rude to him previously.
Not long ago, they almost lost all their possessions as they were looking down on Qin Nan.
Therefore, it was obvious how dull they would feel right now.
Qin Nan was surprised seeing the elders leaving in such a hurry. He still remembered how rude they were to him before, thus he initially planned to pay them back right here.
The disciples were jealous after seeing the rewards, but they did not dare to have any other thoughts.
"This is not the place to talk." Gong Yang let out a smile and said, "Qin Nan, Xiao Qingxue, do come with me."
Qin Nan and Xiao Qingxue exchanged glares and could see the joy of reunion in each other's eyes. The two then followed Gong Yang and vanished from the crowd's vision.
Not long after, in the Mystic Spirit Sect, the news was heard which brought amazement to everyone!
In the Trial of Versatility, a disciple named Qin Nan—who possessed an eighth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, and a cultivation of the eighth-layer Body Tempering Realm—defeated a super genius with a ninth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit and a tenth-layer Body Tempering Realm cultivation!
Not only that, this guy named Qin Nan was also the first disciple in history to accomplish a thousand steps in the Mind-Seducing Ancient Bamboo Woods!
What is the significance of a thousand steps?
In the Mystic Spirit Sect, everyone including the sect elders and the disciples had participated in the Trial of Versatility before; thus, they clearly understood the difficulty of the Mind-Seducing Ancient Bamboo Woods.
Now that an eighth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit disciple managed to accomplish a thousand steps, why would they not be shocked?
At that moment, everyone in the Mystic Spirit Sect took note of Qin Nan's name instantly.
