Chapter 178 Fly!   Xiang Nan led Little Sparrow all the way out of Hundred Beasts City without stopping in the slightest.

That Hundred Beast City is no longer safe. Once the Sly Smile Masked Man dies, there will definitely be a large number of experts secretly investigating in Hundred Beast City.

He couldn't get his own griffin anymore. That place would definitely be under his control at the first possible moment.

"How troublesome. I don't have the money to buy another griffin." Xiang Nan frowned.

How could the tens of thousands of gold coins he had on him be enough to buy a griffin? Even a continental mount couldn't afford it.

However, after passing through the Hundred Beast Cliff, they still had to head to the Northern Region. That journey was not too short. Running on two legs was obviously not a long-term plan.

"Let's see what's in that brat's storage ring. I hope he has gold coins with him."

After leaving Baishou City, Xiang Nan ran for a while before stopping at a deserted mountain.

This desolate mountain has been withered for countless years. There is not even a shadow of a bird, and there are huge cracks everywhere.

Xiang Nan casually found a crack and hid inside the mountain. With the help of the sunlight from outside, he took out a storage ring from his bosom.

This storage ring was removed by Xiang Nan from the masked man with the strange smile. At this moment, that brat was already dead, and the storage ring had lost its seal.

"High-grade storage ring. Unfortunately, it can't be used." Xiang Nan poured out all the contents of the storage ring and threw it away.

The storage ring had once had a soul contract with its master. Even though that brat was already dead, the storage ring's contract had disappeared.

However, if he accidentally encountered an expert in artifact forging, he could still find some clues from the storage ring. There was no need for Xiang Nan to take such a risk.

"Heh, this is it." Xiang Nan's eyes lit up.

A small mountain of gold coins suddenly poured out of the Sly Smile Masked Man's storage ring.

Using the naked eye to roughly estimate the amount, it was around eighty to 1.5 million gold coins.

"I wonder if this little bit of money is enough to buy a griffin." Xiang Nan didn't know much about the price of griffins.

Within the pile of gold coins, there were three sparkling cards. Xiang Nan took them out and found that they were all purple-gold cards.

Xiang Nan shook his head regretfully and threw away the three purple-gold cards. Each of the three cards contained at least 10 million gold coins.

However, he wouldn't be so stupid as to take someone else's storage card and run to the bank to get money. Doesn't that mean that he told everyone that I, Xiang Nan, killed this kid?

Xiang Nan pushed the small mountain of gold coins away and saw what was still buried inside.

There were a few things that were exposed.

Twenty unnumbered, unused eagle eyes. Xiang Nan crushed all of them one by one, leaving them behind was also a problem.

A waist plate with the words "Zhen Bei" written on it.

Xiang Nan's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly chopped up his waist token.

Zhen Bei? Wasn't that sneer masked man the son of the Great General of Zhen Bei?

In addition, there were three small porcelain bottles. Xiang Nan held the porcelain bottles in his hand and looked at them. On them were written the names of the corresponding medicinal pills.

[Fourth Grade Hundred Spirits Pill], [Fourth Grade Body Building Pill], and [Fourth Grade Qi Refining Pill].

"Good stuff." Xiang Nan's eyes lit up. The Fourth Grade Hundred Spirits Pill was an extremely powerful antidote pill. There were a total of ten of them.

As for the Fourth Grade Body Building Pill, it was a body refining pill that could greatly increase a martial artist's physical strength. The Fourth Grade Qi Refining Pill was a Qi refining pill that could allow a martial artist's spiritual sea to expand a bit, increasing their Yuan Qi capacity by nearly 50% and Yuan Qi strength by 30%!

However, a Tier 4 pill could only be consumed if it was at least at the fifth level of Origin Return. This was the reason why the Sly Masked Man only wore the pill but did not consume it.

"My strength is one level higher than a martial artist of the same realm. I should be able to consume it two to three levels earlier. After absorbing the power of the White Flame Lightning again, I will use it."

Looking down, it was a beginner local grade martial skill called the Scarlet Flame Sword. Unfortunately, it was a fire attribute martial skill that Xiang Nan was unable to use, so he casually stuffed it into his storage ring.

Finally, there was a local grade beginner movement technique called the Soaring Sky Technique!

"Haha, I really have no place to find after stepping through the iron shoes." Xiang Nan grabbed the Soaring Sky Technique and was overjoyed.

I had long heard that the Sly Smile Masked Man had been nagging about rewarding the winning members of the game with his own technique, but I didn't expect it to be the Soaring Sky Technique!

With this movement technique, he would be able to learn how to fly before reaching the Heaven Origin Realm! No more flying mounts.

Xiang Nan was overjoyed. He hurriedly flipped through the [Sky Soaring Art] and found that this place was still more than 10,000 miles away from the Hundred Beast Cliff. He still needed to rely on the [Sky Soaring Art] to fly over.

The cultivation requirement of this Soaring Sky Art was at least at the first level of Origin Return, because it required the use of Yuan Qi. Of course, the higher the cultivation level, the better.

Xiang Nan flipped through the incantation and began to cultivate.

Soaring Sky Technique was a movement technique that condensed Yuan Qi into Yuan Qi feathered wings and used to fly.

Normally speaking, even without the Soaring Sky Technique, a martial artist could feel their Yuan Qi and imitate it into the shape of wings, flapping it as they struggled to ascend into the air.

However, this method was extremely stupid and inefficient. Especially, the consumption of Yuan Qi was extremely frightening.

For example, if Xiang Nan condensed two enormous saber lights and waved them vigorously at all times, then no matter how much Yuan Qi Xiang Nan had, it would be quickly depleted.

Soaring Sky Technique was different. It had a special incantation to condense its wings, and it flapped its wings through the connection between its wings and its body. In doing so, the Yuan Qi feathers gathered and did not disperse. There was no need to fill the wings with Yuan Qi all the time, and the consumption of Yuan Qi was extremely small.

It took Xiang Nan a full day and night to practice the Soaring Sky Technique.

At noon the next day, he stood at the top of the barren mountain. Then, his body trembled slightly and a pair of ten-meter-long Yuan Qi feathered wings appeared behind him.

Each wing was more than five meters long, because to withstand someone as tall as Xiang Nan, it was necessary for them to spread their wings ten meters.

"As expected." Xiang Nan touched his Yuan Qi feathered wings and a clear feeling came from it. It was as if these two pairs of wings really grew on his body.

He bowed and jumped thirty meters high. Then, his enormous wings flapped violently. Wind swept past his wings and he soared into the sky.

"Haha!" Xiang Nan, who had just practiced the Soaring Sky Technique, felt incomparably fresh. He flapped his wings up and down, flipping left and right everywhere, rushing straight, diving, climbing up.

He had to get used to the feeling of having "wings" in the shortest time possible.

At first, the movements weren't smooth and often made mistakes. However, as the time of flight increased, the feeling of flying quickly became more proficient.

After all, they were martial artists. They could use weapons to execute all sorts of complicated attacks at the same time, and they could do it like a fish in water, not to mention this simple flapping of their wings.

In less than half a day's time, Xiang Nan was already completely proficient in flying and could control himself freely.
