Dashing Student Chapter 1397 1397: Spiritual Body Exposed

A menacing look crossed Chen Nan's face, the spatial law within his right eye beginning to stir restlessly.

The Divine Calculator, sensing the potent energy, felt his heart jolt in shock. Reluctantly, yet with no other choice, he presented the demon core to Chen Nan.

"Heh, Junior Brother, I am merely retrieving this for you. These four demons were all felled by your hand, so the demon cores rightfully belong to you."

Chen Nan was certain: had he not maintained such a firm demeanor, this greedy fatty, Divine Calculator, would have undoubtedly pocketed those four demon cores.

It had been previously agreed that from the demon clan corpses they acquired, Divine Calculator would receive the demon cores, while Chen Nan would claim the bodies.

However, all four of these demons had been slain by Chen Nan himself, a feat that had exacted a significant toll on him. Consequently, he had no intention of handing those demon cores over to Divine Calculator.

"What a shame, I truly wished to gauge your strength," Chen Nan expressed with regret as the pupil in his right eye gradually returned to its normal state.

A sigh of relief escaped Divine Calculator. As a cultivator in the Nascent Soul realm, even without having comprehended the power of laws, he could discern that the power of laws was concealed within Chen Nan's right eye.

"How truly peculiar, Junior Brother. You have not yet reached the Nascent Soul realm, yet you wield the power of laws. Even a Daoist, upon reaching the Nascent Soul realm, struggles to comprehend such laws. It is truly astonishing!"

Chen Nan accepted the demon core, holding it and scrutinizing it intently. The core's interior resembled a cloudy liquid, yet he could clearly perceive the potent energy contained within.

"Senior Brother, please accept this."

He produced the Blood Gourd, preparing to store the demon clan corpses within to transmute them into demon spirit pills. Though they belonged to the Golden-eyed Thunder Falcon clan, cultivating the "Demon Ape Form" would be no different than using any ordinary demon spirit pill. Yet, Chen Nan was unwavering in his pursuit.

Previously, he had observed traces of ape-clan demons amongst the forces led by Black Wing, and those very demons were Chen Nan's intended targets.

At this juncture, Divine Calculator slyly sidled closer: "Junior Brother, a word of advice: it would be best to avoid sustaining injuries in front of others from now on."

"What do you mean?" Chen Nan's brow furrowed deeply.

"The Innate Yin Yang Spirit Body, a treasure rarer than one in a million years! If refined into a potent medicine, it could lead to an immortal state in one go!" Divine Calculator chuckled.

Chen Nan had learned of his unique physique from a disciple of Master Xuanming; he had never divulged this secret to anyone else.

After all, he was like a hidden delicacy. If his condition were to become known, who could say how many would seek to consume him.

Chen Nan's gaze turned sharp: "Are you not afraid I will kill you to ensure your silence?"

Divine Calculator hastily plastered on a smile and rummaged through his storage bag for a considerable time: "Not this one, nor this one... Ah, I've found it!"

He produced a jade scroll and placed it in his palm.

Chen Nan observed that even the retrieval of a single jade scroll required such diligent searching by Divine Calculator, hinting at the vast number of treasures contained within his storage bag.

"This jade scroll details a secret technique capable of concealing your physique. Otherwise, as your cultivation advances, the Yin Yang Spirit Body will become increasingly conspicuous."

"What is your price?"

Divine Calculator, rubbing his hands with evident greed: "Naturally, the demon core!"

"Deal."

Chen Nan harbored concerns about his Yin Yang Spirit Body. However, since no one besides Master Xuanming had ever detected it, he had gradually put the matter aside.

Yet, the avarice displayed by Jin Sheng and Jin Tai had made him acutely aware of his physique's immense value; its revelation would undoubtedly incite a frenzy.

Presenting the demon core he possessed, Chen Nan finally acquired the jade scroll. He discovered within it a secret technique for masking one's aura, essentially a method for temporarily sealing one's intrinsic physique.

This way, even if Chen Nan were to bleed profusely again, no one would uncover the secret of his unique constitution.

To the outside world, this secret technique, known as the "Heaven Stealing Skill," might appear mundane, but to Chen Nan, it was an absolutely invaluable treasure.

"You old fox!"

Chen Nan muttered under his breath and swiftly employed the Blood Gourd to collect the remaining bodies of the four demon clan members, transforming them into demon spirit pills.

"So, did I deceive you?"

Divine Calculator let out a chuckle, though his smile carried a rather unscrupulous quality: "We must hasten to the battlefield. Otherwise, from whence will more demon cores and demon clan corpses appear?"

Divine Calculator nodded silently, his gaze drifting into the distance, speculating that the demon clan had likely already initiated hostilities with the Righteous Alliance and the Demon Sect, presenting an opportune moment for them to capitalize on the ensuing chaos.
