Zhi Qingping and the others were pale, unwilling to the extreme, yet dared not resist.

As for Chen Diao's body, no one gave it a second glance.

Although they were the Zhi family's Cloud Sea Realm seeds, they were not truly Cloud Sea Realm.

Even Zhi Tian, being the lowest among the elders, could firmly suppress them all.

As long as one hasn't achieved the Cloud Sea, they remain nothing more than ants!

In the Celestial Crossing Realm, only by entering the Cloud Sea Realm can one truly join the circle of the strong and guard one region alone.

"Friend Chu Nan, these people have troubled you." Although Chu Nan was merely at the Divine Illumination Realm, he possessed the strength to slay a second-level Cloud Sea Realm.

Moreover, he held something critical to the Zhi family's life and death.

With these, it was enough to make Zhi Tian treat Chu Nan as an equal.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." After Chu Nan exchanged a few simple pleasantries, he bid farewell once more.

This time, without disturbances, Chu Nan smoothly obtained the copies of the five Cultivation Technique martial skills, completing this goal.

He wasn't worried about the Zhi family tampering with them, as Chu Nan was merely borrowing them for reference.

Additionally, with the presence of Spirit Corpse Lu Yao, Chu Nan had no worries about any problems arising.

After obtaining the copies, Chu Nan left the Scripture Pavilion, discovering that the Martial Artist sent by Zhi Changmei to guide him had been waiting for quite a while.

Expectation immediately sparked in Chu Nan's eyes.

According to the trade agreement, Zhi Changmei would grant him the third-tier Blood Martial Intent!

This would likely become the first third-tier Martial Intent Chu Nan would master.

This filled Chu Nan's heart with anticipation.

The Martial Artist responsible for guiding him soon brought Chu Nan to Zhi Changmei's residence.

Zhi Changmei stood with hands behind his back on a mountain peak, imposing and proud.

All irrelevant personnel were dismissed, leaving only Chu Nan and Zhi Changmei.

"Greetings, senior." Chu Nan said respectfully.

Zhi Changmei slowly turned around, then said, "I've heard you selected the Beast Blood Divine Curse?"

Chu Nan wasn't surprised that Zhi Changmei knew which Cultivation Techniques and martial skills he chose, after all, this was the Zhi family's domain.

Zhi Changmei was one of the three ancestors of the Zhi family, with nothing escaping his eyes.

"That's correct." Chu Nan agreed straightforwardly.

Zhi Changmei sighed helplessly, "It seems you are determined to obtain my Blood Martial Intent?"

Chu Nan's selection of the Blood Dao Martial Skill was proof enough.

"That's right, please bestow the technique, senior!" Chu Nan replied.

"We have made a deal, so by rights, I should indeed pass on my Blood Martial Intent to you." Zhi Changmei nodded, but quickly changed the subject.

"But the technique cannot be lightly passed, let alone a third-tier Martial Intent!"

Chu Nan frowned slightly, then asked, "Could it be, senior regrets it?"

Zhi Changmei shook his head and said, "Once the word has left the mouth, it cannot be retracted. I will not regret it."

"But I do not wish for my Martial Intent comprehension to fall into the hands of the mediocre."

"Therefore, before passing on the Blood Martial Intent to you, you must accomplish a test of mine."

Chu Nan felt somewhat displeased; to him, every moment was raced against time. How could he possibly have the time for some test?

Yet Zhi Changmei's cultivation was stronger, so Chu Nan couldn't force it, thus he asked, "What is the test, senior?"

Zhi Changmei said, "Since you've taken the Beast Blood Divine Curse, this test will be based on it."

"For the Beast Blood Divine Curse to reach its full potential and achieve the Unity of Heaven and Man, it requires at least the second-tier Blood Martial Intent."

"I do not ask you to reach Unity of Heaven and Man; as long as you master the Beast Blood Divine Curse to perfection within a month, proving your talent in the Blood Dao, I shall pass on my lifelong comprehension of the Blood Martial Intent to you!"

Upon finishing, Zhi Changmei felt pleased with himself.

Of course, he didn't want to give up his Martial Intent comprehension, but since he had agreed, as an elder, Zhi Changmei couldn't go back on his word!

So, after pondering, Zhi Changmei devised such a plan.

Let Chu Nan practice the Beast Blood Divine Curse, and once he succeeds, he would teach him.

The Beast Blood Divine Curse was an Earth Tier mid-grade Martial Skill; even for him, it wasn't possible to master it to perfection within a month, let alone Divine Illumination Realm Chu Nan.

As long as Chu Nan accepted the condition, everything would proceed orderly.

Within a month's time, Chu Nan couldn't possibly master the Beast Blood Divine Curse to perfection, and the agreement to teach the third-tier Martial Intent would naturally become null and void.

And by then, the final deadline would have passed, and he could force Chu Nan to break into the Cloud Sea Realm to heal Zhi Changgeng.

Compared to healing Zhi Changgeng, giving up a few Cultivation Technique martial skills and tens of thousands of source stones was a small price to pay.

Zhi Changmei watched Chu Nan with a gaze full of expectation and authority, hoping he would agree directly.

Yet Chu Nan was quite surprised by Zhi Changmei's requirement; to him, it was as if there was no requirement at all!

He possessed the most precious Treasure Blood of the lower realm within him, enhancing his talent, breaking past limits, providing endless support on his cultivation path.

Moreover, he cultivated the Desolate Profound Transformation Sutra, a technique closely related to blood.

It could even be said that Chu Nan's achievements today were, in part, due to the kinship of the Blood Dao.

He had simply lacked appropriate Martial Skills to cultivate, otherwise, compared to the Sword Dao, Chu Nan felt he might be more suited to the Blood Dao!

Thus, to Chu Nan, the requirement from Zhi Changmei was no requirement at all.

So he agreed without hesitation, "Alright, I accept your requirement."

Zhi Changmei was overjoyed; as long as Chu Nan agreed, everything would be easy.

Thus, Zhi Changmei waved his hand, handing over many porcelain bottles filled with Demon Beast Essence Blood, saying, "These are the essence blood of Divine Illumination Realm Demon Beasts."

"You may use them freely; if they are not enough, just let me know, and I will ensure you have enough."

The cultivation of the Beast Blood Divine Curse required many Demon Beast Essence Bloods, and Zhi Changmei didn't want to be accused by Chu Nan secretly of breaking the agreement, so he decided to meet his cultivation conditions as best as he could.

"Thank you, senior." Chu Nan said calmly.

Zhi Changmei nodded, finally advising, "You practice here, no one will disturb you, come to me once you reach perfection."

Yet Chu Nan shook his head.

Zhi Changmei frowned slightly, not understanding his intention.

Chu Nan said confidently, "Please don't leave, senior, wait here for two hours."

"I will reach perfection in the Beast Blood Divine Curse in no time."

Hearing Chu Nan's words, Zhi Changmei nearly laughed out loud.

Back then, it took Zhi Changmei nearly two months to master the Beast Blood Divine Curse to perfection.

At that time, Zhi Changmei was already a Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist.

And Chu Nan was merely a Divine Illumination Realm Martial Artist, yet he boasted shamelessly of reaching perfection within two hours—a truly ludicrous claim, unaware of the immensity of the heavens and earth!

"Very well, let us see." Zhi Changmei decided not to leave, planning to teach Chu Nan a lesson in two hours.

If Chu Nan failed in his cultivation, he intended to give him a good lecture then.

The Celestial Crossing Realm was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers—Chu Nan was far too arrogant!

Unaware of Zhi Changmei's thoughts, Chu Nan was already immersed in his practice of the Beast Blood Divine Curse.

This Earth Tier mid-grade Martial Skill proved more surprising than Chu Nan initially anticipated.

As soon as he began practicing, Chu Nan had a vague feeling that reaching perfection might not even take two hours!
