Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1177 - The Mysterious Battle Tribe

"Could this be..."

Qin Nan held his breath as his heart began to speed up.

The ring had been specifically refined by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch. Since it was showing some reaction, it implied that a piece of the Canglan Tree was nearby.

However, the glow from the ring only lasted for around thirteen breaths' time, before it returned to calmness.

Qin Nan swiftly calmed his thoughts seeing this. His eyes glistened after a slight ponder.

There was no doubt that the piece of Canglan Tree was no longer around him. Otherwise, the ring would have emitted the glow when he arrived.

The only possibility was the carriage that had just pa.s.sed by.

"I shall enter the city first."

Qin Nan immediately made his decision and flew forward. He entered Linran City after paying quite an amount of Monarch Crystals as the entry fee.

As soon as he stepped into the city, all kinds of voices spread toward him from all directions, resulting in a lively display.

Qin Nan raised his head and saw the streets entirely crowded with people, who were all cultivators.

"Who was the person that pa.s.sed by just then? Why is he allowed to fly into Linran City and land straight in the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Tsk tsk, didn't you know? He's one of the Battle Tribe."

"Battle Tribe? Are you telling me that the people from the three great ancient tribes are here too?"

"Of course, the Linran Dragon Lunar Private Gathering in two days will surely have lots of good stuff. Apart from the three great ancient tribes, many strong cultivators are also here in Linran City."

"Sigh, I really want to take a look, but unfortunately, I don't think I have enough G.o.d Stones on me..."

Qin Nan halted in his tracks as he heard the discussion nearby.

"One of the Battle Tribe?"

Qin Nan was startled.

As everyone knew, after the three great factions and the six forbidden grounds, there were eight ancient tribes.

Qin Nan was not interested in the other ancient tribes, but the Battle Tribe, in particular, intrigued him.

According to the rumors, although the people of the Battle Tribe were not extremely pa.s.sionate about battles, their bodies did have unique battle blood since they were born.

When the people of the battle tribe were involved in a battle, the battle blood would exhibit its effects, causing their battle intent to rise rapidly, which would increase their strength. As a result, the more they fought, the fiercer they would be.

It was quite similar to Qin Nan when he found himself in a battle too.

"Looks like the City Lord's Mansion will be my first stop."

Qin Nan withdrew his thoughts and proceeded forward. A moment later, he arrived before the City Lord's Mansion.

On the s.p.a.cious street before him, towering palaces emerged from the ground, covering a great area. Furthermore, the palaces were made of some magical ores, which caused them to look intimidating.

At the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion stood two fifth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm cultivators in armor plates.

"Greetings, my name is Duan Qing. I'm here to see the City Lord."

Qin Nan walked forward and said while bringing his fists together. A faint aura of the ninth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm was emitted from his body.

"What's the matter? If you're here for the Linran Dragon Lunar Private Gathering, you can only enter by showing us the invitation. Otherwise, I'll have to ask you to leave." The two cultivators said without wearing any expression.

It was not the first time they saw someone claiming that they were meeting with the City Lord.

Qin Nan frowned slightly.

He could sense the aura of Martial Monarchs inside the City Lord's Mansion. As such, it was impossible for him to break into the place with brute force.

Besides, through his earlier observation, the City Lord's Mansion was also protected by some forbidden auras, which were capable of restricting eye-techniques and Divine Sense. Therefore, Qin Nan was unable to use his Divine Sense to communicate with anyone either.

"Should I try using the Treasure-Fishing Rod?"

The thought crossed Qin Nan's mind, but he soon got rid of it.

If he were to use the Treasure-Fishing Rod, his ident.i.ty would be exposed almost instantly.

"Sorry, how can I get my hands on an invitation to the Linran Dragon Lunar Private Gathering?"

Qin Nan asked after pondering for a moment.

The best way now was to have an invitation, so he could openly enter the City Lord's Mansion to make contact with the person from the Battle Tribe.

"You would need at least a hundred thousand G.o.d Stones, or you would be given one if you were a disciple of the three great factions, the six forbidden grounds, or the eight ancient tribes. Otherwise, you would have to be a Martial Monarch." The two cultivators glanced at Qin Nan and explained in a calm tone.

"A hundred thousand G.o.d Stones?"

Qin Nan wore an awkward look after hearing this.

It went without saying that he was not eligible for the last two conditions. However, even the first condition was troublesome for him.

According to the information provided by Gong Yang, a G.o.d Stone was a kind of stone that contained the aura of the Martial G.o.d Realm, which could be used for cultivating. It was used as a currency similar to the Monarch Crystals.

That being said, the value of G.o.d Stones entirely exceeded that of the Monarch Crystals.

Even with all the Monarch Crystals that Qin Nan currently had, he could at most exchange them for less than eight thousand G.o.d Stones.

"It seems like I'll have to find a way to earn some G.o.d Stones then. Just in time, I should also explore around Linran City, and see if I can find other pieces of the Canglan Tree."

Qin Nan collected his thoughts and made up his mind. He left the City Lord's Mansion and began strolling around.

"Don't miss it as you're pa.s.sing by! It's a new piece of map that could alter your destiny, it might even contain a seventh-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit!"

"Loot discovered from ancient Martial Monarch ruins, now on sale!"

"Ancient fragments from an unknown source, anyone who's interested come and take a look!"

Qin Nan scanned his surroundings as he was bombarded with shouts.

His left eye of the Divine G.o.d of Battle was not strong enough for map-betting, but he could discover useful artifacts that the others missed out on, and could even earn some profit from the rock-betting or the fragments.

However, after walking around for a while, Qin Nan was slightly disappointed. Although there were quite an amount of artifacts yet to be discovered, their values were not too outstanding, thus it was not necessary for him to waste his effort on them.

"Mm?"

Qin Nan suddenly raised his eyebrows.

A stall not far from him was filled with strange-looking ancient rocks.

Most of the rocks were fakes made with some outstanding method. Any ordinary eye-technique would not be able to see through them. However, what surprised Qin Nan was that there was actually a valuable artifact in one of the rocks.

"How are you selling those three rocks?" Qin Nan approached the vendor and asked calmly.

The vendor was an old man in a black robe. He raised his head and his eyes flickered as he glimpsed at Qin Nan, before speaking in a hoa.r.s.e voice, "Each one is three hundred G.o.d Stones. You'll need to buy at least five..."

"That's fine, I'll grab these five..."

However, before Qin Nan could finish, a loud voice interrupted.

"Old man, I'm taking all these rocks."

A slightly plump young man with an aura of the third-layer Martial Progenitor Realm approached the stall whose figure was emitting a magical glow.

The young man was followed by two middle-aged men with cold gazes, whose aura was at the eighth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm.

It was obvious that the young man had some kind of background.

"What are you looking at? Do you have something to say?" Being aware of Qin Nan's gaze, the young man raised his eyebrows and asked with a cold harrumph.
