Immortal Martial God

Chapter 44 Inexplicable

He arranged his cultivation time very reasonably. One day was divided into two halves. Half of it was used to cultivate the Flash Shadow Steps, and the other half was used to cultivate his own realm.

The Flash Shadow Steps used up all of the early weather before absorbing spirit stones. The upgrade of their cultivation realms was in conjunction with the medicinal pills he had collected.

However, during this period of time, he discovered a very serious problem! That was his previous realm, which seemed to have risen too quickly! So much so that he actually encountered a bottleneck in the late Xiantian sixth stage!

The bottleneck was very difficult to overcome, especially because he had consumed too many pills and had a strong resistance to them. If he continued to eat them, their significance would become very small.

Ten days later, there were still ten days left before the Martial Arts City Selection.

In the beautiful manor, a figure suddenly appeared!

The shadow appeared beside the rockery, but in the next moment, it blurred and disappeared! It was already at the entrance of the manor.

"En!" Xiang Nan took a deep breath. He clenched his fists and said, "The Shadow Steps have been practiced to perfection. The talent of this divine grade is indeed incomparably powerful."

"It's a pity that my cultivation level is still stagnant. It's useless to consume more pills. I have to cultivate through nature to increase my cultivation level."

"If we can find a good place with rich spiritual energy, it will be perfect."

There are three ways for martial artists to increase their cultivation. One is to naturally absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the other is to consume medicinal pills with better effects, and the last is to increase their cultivation during battles.

The best place to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was where the spiritual energy was abundant.

Thinking of this, Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh. The places with dense Spiritual Qi were usually spirit caves and spirit mountains, but those places were all controlled by various sects.

In Wolong Province, it seemed that they had never heard of such a place.

"I hope that there will be some new harvests in the last ten days." Xiang Nan stepped onto the Wind Chasing Stallion and rushed back to the Xiang Clan.

As soon as Xiang Nan returned to his mansion, he was stopped by Xiang Zhonghua and ran away, "Cousin, you're back! Come with me, something big has happened at home!"

"What's the big deal?" Xiang Nanqi said.

"Don't ask me. Follow me to the reception hall and tell me that the Xiang Clan has been in a mess for the past ten days since you left!" Xiang Zhonghua was both anxious and dry. He looked like an ant in a hot pot.

Xiang Nan couldn't help but frown. This was truly a troublesome autumn. Troubles came one after another. Could it be that my small Xiang Clan would encounter so many troubles if it wanted to rise?

After arriving at the reception hall, the two of them discovered that all the elders of the clan had arrived, including even the younger generation's peers.

" Little Nan ! You're back!" When Xiang Shaohua saw Xiang Nan, he immediately stood up.

"What's going on?" Xiang Nan looked at everyone strangely. He found that everyone was looking at him as if he had caused a great disaster.

Xiang Shaohua said, "Didn't our Xiang Clan plan to restart their own business? Not long ago, we ordered a large amount of ores, armor, and spirit prairie materials from a few large suppliers in Bluestone City."

"Yes." Xiang Nan felt even more puzzled. If his family wanted to run the weapons and armor business, they naturally needed to purchase large quantities of raw materials.

Xiang Shaohua stomped his foot anxiously and said, "But they … they collectively went back on their word! They did not hesitate to pay a high penalty for breach of contract and no longer provided us with raw materials."

"Then why?" Xiang Nan was shocked. Without ores and raw materials, they were still in the weapons business. Without fur and spirit prairie materials, they could simply close the shop.

"Because of Qian Ling'er." Xiang Shaohua looked at Xiang Nan reproachfully.

"Qian Ling'er? Who is that?" Xiang Nan was a little dumbfounded.

When Xiang Shaohua heard this, he anxiously said, " little Nan , you are too foolish. Why did you forget what you did? Then the Qian Clan sent people to propose marriage!"

"You should at least say hello to us about this so that we can have some time to prepare."

"Qian Ling'er, propose marriage?" Xiang Nan was puzzled, "Where are we going? Where did Qian Ling'er come from? What kind of kiss did she bring up?"

"That's true." Xiang Zhanxiong interrupted Xiang Shaohua and said to Xiang Nan, "A few days ago, you were engaged to Qian Ling'er privately for life. The Qian family sent people to send out wedding stickers, hoping that our Xiang family would come to propose marriage."

"But what you don't know is that this matter has angered Cai Jianyun. Since Cai Jianyun and Qian Ling'er were childhood sweethearts, he has been furious."

"And Cai Jianyun is Cai Baohua's grandson. Cai Baohua is also one of the elders of our Blue Stone City Chamber of Commerce."

At this point, Xiang Zhanxiong sighed and said, "Cai Baohua threatened that unless our Xiang Clan lowered their heads to admit their mistake and cancel the engagement with the Qian Clan."

"Otherwise, they have already contacted a large number of suppliers. They will come to the Xiang Clan tonight to break the contract and deliver the contract payment. From now on, they will not provide any raw materials to the Xiang Clan."

The entire Xiang Clan sighed. The Xiang Clan's path to rise was truly difficult.

However, Xiang Nan frowned deeply, "Wait, this matter is not right. I don't know any Qian Ling'er at all, and it's even more impossible for me to settle a lifetime relationship with her privately."

"What?" Everyone from the Xiang Clan was dumbfounded.

"So it's a misunderstanding?" The Great Elder heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Since you and Qian Ling'er don't have that kind of relationship, then let's show our attitude. We won't marry the Qian Clan. Isn't this settled?"

"No, it's not that simple." Xiang Nan shook his head and rejected the Great Elder's suggestion.

The Great Elder said anxiously, "Why not?"

Xiang Zhanxiong said, "Indeed, it won't work. If news of this were to spread, it would be very unpleasant to hear. Others will definitely think that our Xiang Clan was frightened."

Everyone suddenly realized, that's right! Others would definitely say that the Xiang Clan was so scared that they didn't even dare to propose marriage. They would lose face from this clan and be laughed at by everyone.

This was because even though the Xiang Clan had been suppressed by the three great clans of Bluestone Town, they had never lowered their heads in their most desolate days. Xiang Zhanxiong had always stuck to the Xiang Clan.

" Little Nan ." Xiang Zhanxiong said seriously, "This matter must be treated well. What do you think?"

Xiang Nan took a deep breath and said, "Since we haven't got engaged yet, it's not like we're going to renege on our engagement. I will definitely reject the Qian family, but not now."

As he spoke, Xiang Nan bowed deeply to the crowd, "Grandfather, uncles, little Nan has caused trouble for the Xiang Clan. I will go to the Qian Clan to find out the cause and effect."

After that, Xiang Nan rushed to the Qian Clan in Bluestone City with a stomach full of questions.

The Qian Clan was one of the major clans in Bluestone City. It was a pure commercial clan. It had nothing to do with martial arts. Just talking about the wealth of the clan would definitely far exceed the so-called three great clans in Bluestone Town.

As soon as Xiang Nan arrived at the Qian Clan, he was warmly welcomed. It seemed that they had already designated Xiang Nan as their uncle.
