Chapter 55
“The origin of the Demonic Insect Cultivation Manual?”
Nan’s words took Qiping by surprise.
He hadn’t expected her to bring up the very question he’d been meaning to ask.
“Yes, its origin,” Nan confirmed with a nod.
Qiping didn’t beat around the bush. “Of course I’d like to know. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I was going to ask myself. It’s important to me…”
“You’ve always been straightforward,” Nan remarked, giving him a meaningful look before continuing. “This manual came from Peak Seven in the A-zone. There’s a well-hidden cave abode there—one I discovered by accident when I was much younger, about ten years ago.”
“Peak Seven in the Misty Cloud Mountains’ A-zone?” Qiping was stunned.
The top ten peaks in the A-zone were the most spiritually rich areas in the entire mountain range. Only Foundation Establishment cultivators—or those with ties to the three great clans or the Qingyuan Sect—could afford to lease land there. Had Nan lived there as a child?
This only deepened Qiping’s curiosity about her background. But since she hadn’t volunteered the information, he didn’t press further.
