The next day, when Nalan Ruoshui saw Chennan again, she was shocked to find that the man standing in front of her seemed to be a different person. Chen Nan's appearance is still so ordinary, but there is an indescribable temperament on his body, a faint smile, and deep eyes......

"Have you regained your strength?"

"No, why do you ask?"

Nalan Ruoshui said: "I feel that something has happened to you, you seem to have a different temperament on your body, isn't it that your strength has recovered?"

Chen Nan was taken aback, quickly restrained his skills, and said with a smile, "How is it possible. 」

Nalan Ruoshui regained her calm complexion and said, "Maybe it's my delusion, okay, I'll continue to acupuncture for you." 」

This time the acupuncture lasted for an hour, and after Nalan Ruoshui left, Chen Nan hurriedly urged the true qi of the whole body to circulate in the hundred veins, but the effect was far less than the first time.

He opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and said, "It seems that there is really no shortcut to martial arts!"

From then on, Nalan Ruoshui would come almost every day, but not every time he did acupuncture, and sometimes hit the acupoints of Chennan's whole body, in order to activate the true qi in his body.

Slowly, the two gradually got acquainted, and Nalan Ruoshui was no longer as indifferent as before, and occasionally chatted with him.

Chen Nan learned from the conversation that although Nalan Ruoshui was a member of the Qishi Mansion, he rarely lived here, and usually lived at home. Her father was an official in the court, and his position was not too low, and she and Chu Yue were friends since childhood, so she was able to go in and out of the royal book room frequently, and most of her medical skills were learned from there.

When he heard Nalan Ruoshui mention the royal classics, Chen Nan's eyes lit up, he knew that there must be a lot of precious ancient books there, maybe there were records from 10,000 years ago, thinking of this, his heart was excited.

"Miss Nalan, you are really a genius, and most of your brilliant medical skills are self-taught, which is really admirable. 」

Nalan Ruoshui said lightly: "Actually, it's nothing, as long as you are willing to work hard, anyone can do it. 」

Chen Nan sighed: "I can't do it, I'm a mountain and wild person, I don't even know words, how can I learn those things in the book." 」

Nalan Ruoshui was surprised and said, "You...... Can't you read?"

"Yes, I don't know a word, I don't even know my own name. Speaking of this, Chen Nan looked a little lonely, although it was a lie, but there was part of his true feelings.

"I was an orphan abandoned in the mountains, and a kind old hunter picked me up and adopted me. Due to the constraints of life, I did not go to school to read and write. When I was sixteen years old, my stepfather left me, and my sky was gray ever since......

"My stepfather not only raised me, gave me the warmth of my family, but also taught me some martial arts. But how strong can a sixteen-year-old boy be, and when I hunt in the mountains, I have fled again and again in terror under the claws of wild beasts...... In winter, the snow was knee-high, but I had no shoes to wear, so I had to hide in my humble hut in the cold and wind, shivering......

"No warmth, no food...... I can only beg the heavens to let the wind and snow stop as soon as possible...... During the long winter months, when I was only able to eat food once in six or seven days, it was a kind neighbor who saved his own subsistence ration and gave me alms......

"I fell ill with hunger and cold, and once the neighbors did not see me go out for a long time, so they broke into the humble hut left by my father-in-law. I had been in a coma for days, and my neighbors said that I was constantly shouting, 'Mom...... Mother...... "But I know that I will not have a mother in this life, only a stepfather......

Chen Nan wiped the tears from his face and said, "I'm sorry Miss Nalan, I made you smile, I was so excited, I couldn't extricate myself for a while......

A mist appeared in Nalan Ruoshui's eyes, and he said softly, "It should be me who says I'm sorry, it's me who reminds you of the sad past. I'm sorry, I didn't know you had such a bumpy past. 」

"It's nothing, the past of suffering makes me cherish the happiness I have now. 」

Women are kind by nature, and Chennan's "tragic past" filled Nalan Ruoshui's heart with a sour taste, and she said softly, "Chen Gongzi, do you want to learn to read and write? I can teach you." 」

"Really?" Tatsunan was overjoyed, this was what he was expecting, but he was somewhat ashamed in his heart, and he used his lies to win sympathy.

"Of course it's true, in the future, I will help you with acupuncture in the morning and teach you literacy in the afternoon. At this moment, Nalan Ruoshui's face was no longer the usual plain and indifferent, but instead had a smile like a flower.

Chen Nan didn't expect this beautiful woman with an indifferent appearance and a faint dusty temperament to laugh so charmingly.

Women are naturally kind and compassionate, Nalan Ruoshui was touched by Chennan's "unfortunate childhood", and in the following days, he changed his coldness from the past, carefully healed his body, tried every means to restore his strength, and carefully taught him to read and write.

Chen Nan was ashamed and had more respect for this beauty.

More than half a month has passed, and Chennan's "condition" has not improved, which surprised Nalan Ruoshui, she went through all the medical classics, but she was still helpless.

During this period, Chu Yue had come a few times, and each time she comforted Chen Nan not to worry.

The little princess has also come secretly a few times, of course, she will not let go of the difficulties of Chen Nan every time, but she may feel ashamed in her heart, she has not done too much, Rao is so, and the little devil also gives Chen Nan a headache. However, seeing her sneaking around every time, Chennan was surprised. Later, after listening to Nalan Ruoshui's narration, I realized that the little devil was hiding from the old witch who studied magic.

The old witch once wanted to take the little princess as an apprentice, but the little princess was not happy to live or die, so she insisted on worshipping the martial arts master Zhuge Chengfeng as a teacher. Because of this, the old witch was so angry that she almost asked Zhuge to duel with the wind. However, she did not give up the idea of taking the little princess as an apprentice, and every time she saw her, she always had to "know it with affection and move it with reason". The little princess was scared, and every time she came to Qishi Mansion, she was sneaky.

After listening to Nalan Ruoshui's words, Chen Nan laughed wildly, he didn't expect that this evil little witch would also be scared and deflated, it was a strange news.

The corners of Nalan Ruoshui's mouth also showed a faint smile, which could make an indifferent woman like her smile, and it was conceivable that the little devil must be "notorious" in the imperial capital.

One day, the little princess's master, Zhuge Chengfeng, suddenly returned with a serious injury, and the cultivation world of the imperial capital was in an uproar. Chen Nan was also surprised, he had seen the peerless cultivation of this grandmaster-level martial arts master, and the earth-shattering battle between Zhuge Chengfeng and the giant snake still made him remember it vividly.

Zhuge Chengfeng did see the legendary Qilin in the Luofeng Mountain Range, and countless cultivators frantically rushed towards the Qilin, and everyone wanted to tame the divine beast. Even those who knew that they were hopeless stepped forward one after another, wanting to add fuel to the fire and kill the divine beast, so that they could get a scale and a half claw to go back to refining medicine.

Zhuge rode the wind and watched coldly, he knew that the power of the divine beast was by no means something that ordinary people could deal with, and a holy snake that failed to transform into a dragon had already overstretched him, not to mention this legendary divine beast. Sure enough, as he expected, the unicorn beast did not panic in the face of the siege of hundreds of people, it opened its mouth and spat out a large area of flames, the temperature of the flames was terrifyingly high, and the first batch of people just rushed up, and they were burned to ashes.

Zhuge Chengfeng wanted to leave, but the Qilin was staring at him, and the divine beast could also sense those strong people in the crowd. For these intruders who broke into the ancient cave and woke it up, with deep hostility, he stepped on the fire and rushed towards Zhuge as soon as possible.

The battle between Zhuge Chengfeng and the divine beast was extremely tragic, and countless people who came for the Qilin were tragically killed by the pond fish, or pierced through their bodies by the murderous sword qi, or burned to ashes by the surging flames, and countless people died. In the end, Zhuge was defeated by the wind, was seriously injured and escaped, and escaped from the Luofeng Mountain Range in great danger.

Only 12 out of 10 people managed to escape from the dangerous land, and this incident caused an uproar on the mainland, and more cultivators with advanced cultivation broke into the Luofeng Mountain Range, wanting to tame the Qilin as a mount. Especially those dragon knights in the Western Continent, after hearing about this, their interest in the Qilin was far greater than that of the giant dragon, and dozens of powerful dragon knights set off from various countries to rush towards the Falling Wind Mountain Range.

Zhuge Chengfeng only briefly said this matter, but the danger can be imagined, and the battle must be much more fierce than the battle with the giant snake.

The little princess was extremely dissatisfied with this matter, puffed out her mouth, and muttered: "I haven't seen such a good show, it's a pity, it's hard for the old man to be ugly, I didn't actually see his stinky appearance with my own eyes, alas......

After Zhuge Chengfeng came back to explain some things, he left in a hurry, hiding to heal his wounds, if he heard the complaint of the baby apprentice, he would definitely spit out another mouthful of blood in anger.

After that, the Qilin incident boiled over the continent for more than a month, and countless cultivators returned with feathers, until the Qilin disappeared from the Luofeng Mountain Range, and the matter came to an end.

Since Chen Nan's family Xuangong entered the third heaven, he can leave calmly at any time, but at this time, he is not in a hurry, in addition to receiving "treatment" every day, he wholeheartedly learns the common script of the mainland.

Time flies, two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and his skills still show no signs of "recovery". But for the script commonly used in the continent today, he has already mastered it very well, which surprised Nalan Ruoshui, he didn't expect him to have such a talent in writing.

Chen Nan frantically read all kinds of history books, official history, wild history...... He flipped it all over.

Whenever he thought of the Cemetery of Gods and Demons, his heart throbbed, he had been resurrected from that ancient cemetery, he cared so much about its past, and he was eager to know all its secrets. Chen Nan has an unusually strong feeling that the earth-shattering secret that was unknown ten thousand years ago has not been annihilated in history, and sooner or later it will be revealed.

He tried in vain to find clues of historical facts 10,000 years ago in the history books, but he was disappointed that all kinds of historical materials were limited to major events in 5,000 years, and could not be traced back to 10,000 years ago.

Nalan Ruoshui was surprised that he was so interested in history, and couldn't help but ask, "Why does Chen Gongzi have a soft spot for history, there are so many poems and lyrics in the Qishi Mansion, why have you never seen it?"

Chen Nan smiled awkwardly and said, "This ...... Although the poetry has a far-reaching artistic conception and cultivates people's sentiments, I still feel that history is more intriguing and makes people feel the tremor of their hearts. In the past, I was illiterate, I had never read any books, and I never knew that the mainland had such a magnificent past, the rise and fall of a powerful empire, and the prosperity and decline of an excellent nation...... 5,000 years of ups and downs, 5,000 years of splendid glory...... It's emotional, it's shocking!"

A strange look flashed in Nalan Ruoshui's eyes, and he smiled: "Young Master Chen has a lot of emotion, it seems that the harvest is not small!"

Chen Nan was ashamed for a while, but he didn't expect him to talk nonsense for a while, and actually said something that seemed to have gained something.

"You have only been literate for two months, and you have been able to read through the history of the continent, which is really admirable!" Nalan Ruoshui praised with a smile on his face.

Chen Nan saw that Nalan Ruosui was in a good mood at this time, and he said what he had already calculated in his heart: "Miss Nalan, that ...... I've read all the history books in the Qishi Mansion, can I ...... Let me go with you to the library of the palace...... Take a look?"

Nalan Ruoshui glanced at him in surprise and said, "Are you really that interested in history?" The imperial palace's classic room is very strictly guarded, and I was able to enter because I was a good friend of Princess Yue, and if I brought another person, I am afraid it would be difficult. However, you can give it a try, if you can get Princess Yu to accompany you, things may be easier. 」

At the mention of the little devil, Chen Nan had a headache, and he quickly shook his head and said, "No need, I'm still reading poetry in Qishi Mansion." 」

"It's okay, I'll go find Princess Yu tomorrow. 」

"No, no...... I resolutely didn't read it, and after reading so much history, I had a headache. 」

"Hehe......" Although Nalan Ruo is not as cold as frost when he is level, he rarely shows a smile, and his smile like a flower at this moment is particularly moving, like rippling spring water, which makes people's hearts ripple.

Chen Nan lost his mind for a while, and Nalan Ruoshui's next words interrupted his reverie.

"Don't worry, I will never go to Princess Yu, even if I want to find Her Royal Highness Princess Yue, Princess Yu is notoriously difficult, I don't want to make trouble for myself. 」

Chen Nan laughed dryly and said, "I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the little princess to be famous, I thought I was the one who had a headache for her." 」

At night, Chen Nan lay on the bed and recalled the experience of the past two months, everything was like a drama, he actually became a hermit in the Chu State. The biggest gain for him in these two months was that he learned the common script of the mainland here, and he completely integrated with this society.

The next day, Nalan Ruoshui had a smile on her face and said to Chen Nan, "Princess Yue has already greeted the administrators of the classic room, after I will do acupuncture for you for a while, you can go with me." 」

Chen Nan was overjoyed, and after the acupuncture was completed, he followed Nalan Ruoshui out of the Qishi Mansion. More than a dozen warriors were guarding around a luxurious carriage, Nalan Ruoshui beckoned him to get on the carriage together, Chen Nan was flattered, smelling the intoxicating fragrance along the way, and soon came to the imperial city.

The forbidden place of the imperial palace, civil officials get off the sedan chair, military attaches get off the horse, and no one can enjoy special treatment except for the royal family.

In the palace, the palace towers, high and low, spectacular and majestic. Chen Nan followed Nalan Ruoshui to turn left and right in the palace, and came to the outside of a magnificent hall.

The person in charge here was a Hanlin Bachelor who was about forty years old, and since Chu Yue had informed him in advance, he didn't say much.

The classics in the hall are like mountains, but they are scattered, row by row, column by column, stacked neatly.

Chen Nan skipped poetry, Xingbu, and medicine in the ocean-like library...... I went straight to the door of the library marked Historiography. Looking at the collection of nearly 10,000 books inside, he was dizzy for a while, how many books could he finish reading in years and months, this is too much.

He patiently searched in the sea of books, he only read the first page of each book, and if the content was the history of the past 5,000 years, he was "sent home".

In the following days, Chen Nan and Nalan Ruoshui went back and forth between the Qishi Mansion and the royal book room every day, and he was boring to read the history books every day.

One day, Chen Nan casually took out a book from the shelf, opened it and saw that it was a modern font, he didn't think about it, so he put it in its place. But the words "Cultivation Level" on the cover caught his attention, and he took his hand back halfway through.

He opened the book to take a cursory glance, but it wasn't long before he was hooked. This is a book about the division of cultivators' strength levels, although cultivators, magicians, Eastern martial artists, and Western martial artists have their own division criteria, but in order to compare their strength, they are all divided into five levels from low to high. But the lowest level mentioned above is also the master of the master, and the people who can go to the top are all strong people, and the general master is not within the scope of this book at all.

Through the introduction in the book, he had a certain understanding of the strength of the advanced cultivators in the current continent.

Cultivators are the most mysterious, because they rarely make moves, the outside world is quite controversial about the division of their strength, and they simply divide their cultivation realm into: foundation building, qi cultivation, condensation, knotting, and yuanying. However, the book notes that there may be a higher realm above this, and it is said that its highest realm leads directly to the realm of the Immortal Dao, but no one has seen this kind of person make a move.

Magicians can be divided into quasi-magicians, mid-level magicians, high-level magicians, great magicians, and magicians according to their strength.

The cultivation realm of the oriental martial artist can be divided into: refining and refining qi, innate realm, sword qi out of the body, refining qi and transforming gods, and god condensing qi. In addition, it is mentioned in the book that there have been people who have surpassed these five realms, and their world-beating skills are unimaginable, and they can be described as spiritual.

Western warriors can be divided into swordsmiths, swordsmiths, sword masters, sword masters, sword saints, and sword gods according to their strength. In addition, there is a special kind of cultivator among the Western warriors———— dragon knight, a strong warrior and a powerful dragon are combined, with super terrifying destructive power, according to the strength can be divided into: earth dragon knight, flying dragon knight, wulong knight, dragon knight, holy dragon knight.

Different types of cultivators are divided into five levels, so that their strength is comparable, generally speaking, the strength of the same level is not much different. However, cultivators and magicians obviously have an advantage over martial artists, and when their opponents are weaker than them and lower than their rank, they can give full play to their strengths, directly control the vitality of heaven and earth, and carry out a wide range of strikes, and carry out indiscriminate attacks on multiple opponents.

If the strength level is divided according to the book, most of the martial artists are blocked from the door of the rank master. Although martial arts can be cultivated by everyone, the vast majority of people cannot cultivate to the advanced realm, and only a small number of people can rank among the rank masters.

Although cultivators and magicians have high requirements for physique, resulting in a small number of these people, most of these people are rank masters, and it is obvious that a cultivator's physique has a great relationship with their future achievements. Overall, the number of rank masters of the four types of cultivators was about the same.

Chen Nan closed the book and let out a sigh of relief, finally figuring out the strength level of the cultivators in this world now. However, he believed that the highest realm of a cultivator was by no means more than the fifth order, and as far as he knew, his father Chen Zhan's cultivation had far surpassed the fifth order cultivation realm of the Eastern Martial Artist.

He objectively estimated his strength level, his family inheritance Xuangong had already entered the third heaven, and he had just been able to generate sword qi outside his body, and he could barely be regarded as a third-order cultivator, and on the mainland, he was already a real master.

The book that he accidentally discovered made Chen Nan feel that he benefited a lot.

Over the next few days, he met a strange old man in the library.

The old man was unusually old, his eyes were cloudy, his teeth had long since been lost, his wrinkled skin was like a crumpled ball of paper, and dozens of hairs were sparsely sparse on the top of his bare head.

Chen Nan was startled when he first saw the old man, and thought that a certain soul would not be dispersed after his death, and he had swindled the corpse from the coffin. Out of politeness, he smiled every time he saw the old man, but never spoke.

On this day, Chen Nan was boringly flipping through the history books, and an old voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Young man, I like history so much. 」

Chen Nan almost jumped up in fright, and the strange old man came silently less than a foot behind him like a ghost, and he secretly blamed himself for being too involved in reading.

"Ah, yes, I like it, but there don't seem to be any old books here, dating back to 5,000 years ago. 」

"Oh, you like to read ancient books, can you read the text?"

"Well, I still have some knowledge of ancient characters, and I can read almost all ancient books. He raised the book in his hand and said, "You see, this is a script from 4,000 years ago, and although it is more complicated than today's writing, it is still recognizable. Chen Nan is not lying, he is indeed more sensitive to words, and the current common script of the continent has evolved from the ancient script of the original Immortal Fantasy Continent, and it is not difficult for him to distinguish these words that are in the middle transition period.

Chen Nan had an illusion, as if he saw a green light flash from the old man's cloudy eyes.

The old man asked, "Why do you like to read ancient books?"

Chen Nan said: "I am more interested in ancient myths and legends, and I want to know a thing or two from ancient books. 」

The old man laughed, and Chen Nan felt very calm when he heard it.

"Young man, if you can really read ancient books, I will lead you into another library, which is the real ancient literature, far older than the books here. 」

Chen Nan was overjoyed, and at the same time began to guess the identity of the old man, he had already seen that the old man was by no means an ordinary person, otherwise he would never be able to lead him into another library at will.

Passing through the front hall, the two walked towards the back hall, the back hall was exceptionally quiet, pushing open the heavy door, rows of bookshelves appeared in front of Chen Nan's eyes, and the bookshelves were full of books from the ancient monuments.

Since stepping into the ancient library, Chen Nan has felt a subtle strange fluctuation, fluctuating like a trickle, like a light breeze, if there is nothing, it is elusive.

"Faint to death! Could it be that the ancient books here are all refined, how can there be such fluctuations?" Now that the prohibition in Chen Nan's body has been completely eliminated, his spiritual sense has been restored, and his sense of the outside world is far more acute than that of ordinary people.

The old man seemed unaware of it, and said, "You see, this is full of ancient books, most of them are priceless and unique, if you can understand it, this is undoubtedly a treasure. 」

"Treasure?" Chen Nan was a little puzzled.

The old man said, "There are many books on martial arts, magic, medicine, poison, etc., and many of them are lost knowledge. The royal family sent special personnel to sort out and compile these ancient books, but only a small part of them could be translated. I don't know how deep your knowledge of ancient writing is, if it is better than those scholars of the Hanlin Academy......

Chen Nan didn't wait for him to finish, and plunged into the pile of books.

For several days, he wandered through the ancient history, which surprised Nalan Ruoshui, and she opened her mouth wide in surprise when she accidentally learned that Chen Nan could read ancient books. When Chen Nan gave her a medical classic compiled from ancient books, Nalan Ruoshui screamed excitedly: "Oh my God, the Medical Saint's Codex, I'm not dreaming. She happily hugged Chennan.

Feeling the soft body, Chen Nan was intoxicated for a while, and he hugged Nalan Ruoshui with his backhand, but the delicate body quickly left him, and there was a chuckle in the distance.

Since then, whenever Chen Nan saw Nalan Ruoshui's smile, he couldn't help but have his heart beat faster.

"Do you want to find another medical book to sort out and give to her today, maybe......

"Boy, what kind of are you, look at your unproductive appearance, it really makes my old man ashamed to be a man with you. The old poisonous monster put his arm on the courtyard wall, showed his head, and struck at the right time.

"Dead old man, you're peeping at me again, it's so perverted, it's disgusting. Beware of me buying a firecracker, lighting it and throwing it in your yard. As they became more and more familiar, Chen Nan and the old poisonous monster gradually joked about each other, and later they met each other sarcastically. However, he did not dare to frolic with the old witch, who exchanged between his east and back yards, which made him tremble.

"If you light firecrackers, I will let you break your intestines in seven steps, break your soul in ten steps, eliminate flesh in thirteen steps, and turn bones into invisible in fifteen steps. 」

"Damn, you perverted old man. Chen Nan felt a chill and walked quickly towards the outside of the Qishi Mansion. Today, Nalan Ruoshui did not give him acupuncture, saying that he would treat him after carefully studying the "Medical Saint's Codex".

After Chen Nan came to the ancient library, the old man had already arrived.

"Young man, it's good, it seems that you really have some knowledge of ancient characters, and you can really understand those ancient books, and today my old man will trouble you. 」

"Oh, old man, please say, if I can help, I will help. 」

The old man took out a yellowed ancient book from his bosom, put it on the table, took the paper and brush, and began to copy it, and in a short time, the whole paper was copied to the brim.

"Oh, can you help me translate the contents of this piece of paper?"

Chen Nan took it and looked at it, those words didn't make sense at all, and said, "Old man, these sentences don't make sense, you didn't make a mistake. 」

The old man said, "You can translate it, don't worry if it doesn't work, you can translate three articles for me every day, right?"

"Yes, no problem. Chen Nan secretly said in his heart: "This old guy is really suspicious, he actually broke up the sentence and asked me to translate, damn it, he wants to keep it secret like this, what kind of book is this?"

The little affection he had had for the old man was gone, and he knew that the strange old man had been striking him in the first place, and that his fundamental purpose was to get him to translate the book.

The text on the paper should be written in the font of six or seven thousand years ago, according to Chennan's estimates. There are only a few crosses, but it contains some words that make Chen Nan sensitive, such as "god" and "corpse", which makes him even more curious about that book.
