Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 102 - Advancing to Qi Grandmaster

This entire pool only had a single drop of a dragon’s blood; although years had passed and the blood had lost most of its energy, the remnant energy was still mighty.

It facilitated Chen Fan\'s full recovery and awakened Qin Yao\'s dormant bloodline.

“Why are you so stupid, Xiaofan! Why did you come for me despite knowing you were walking into a trap?” Qin Yao suddenly reprimanded Chen Fan.

Wang Fuchen had used her as bait to lure Chen Fan into a trap.

Despite the obvious danger, Chen Fan had chosen to rescue her.

Chen Fan gently took hold of Qin Yao\'s hand and sincerely said, “Senior Sister, I’m willing to do anything for you. No one can hurt you. I won\'t let anyone who dares to hurt you get away with it."

Qin Yao hastily withdrew her hand, her face flushed red, a sweet feeling swelling in her heart.

"Oh, right, Senior Sister," Chen Fan inquired, "how did Wang Fuchen learn about us?”

Wang Fuchen capturing Qin Yao to force him out was an unexpected move. After all, Wang Fuchen’s group shouldn\'t have known about their connection, yet he used her as leverage.

Qin Yao shook her head and said, “I’m not sure, either. I ran into Bing Ye before, and not long after, Wang Fuchen found me. I was no match for him, and he sealed my cultivation and captured me.”

“Bing Ye...”

A cold light flashed in Chen Fan’s eyes. “She’s a member of the Heaven’s Alliance. Zhong Li’s group must have told Wang Fuchen about our relationship and your whereabouts!”

Chen Fan harbored a strong suspicion that the Heaven\'s Alliance was entangled in this matter. The timing of Wang Fuchen\'s pursuit, shortly after Bing Ye\'s encounter with Qin Yao, seemed too coincidental.

Moreover, only fellow sect disciples knew about his relationship with Qin Yao. After all, Qin Changkong treated him extremely well, so the entire outer sect was aware of this.

Since Qin Yao was Qin Changkong’s daughter, Chen Fan would definitely show up if harm befell his only child.

“Damn it! Sect Master told us to act as a team inside Dragon Mountain Blessed Land. Let alone working like a team, those guys actually sold out a fellow disciple. Very well! This matter isn’t over just yet!”

Chen Fan\'s voice was frigid, laced with a palpable killing intent.

The consequences could have been dire if he had remained in seclusion for just one more day.

And Zhong Li’s group was behind all this chaos.

“Senior Sister, you are also at the peak of the eighth level, right?” said Chen Fan, sensing her aura. She could also advance to the Qi Grandmaster realm.

“Mhm.” Qin Yao nodded.

After fusing with the Bone Spirit Flame during the Outer Sect Grand Competition, she had become an early-stage, eight-level practitioner. After entering the top ten, she obtained plenty of rewards and advanced to the middle stage.

After entering Dragon Mountain Blessed Land, she also had some fortuitous encounters and obtained some treasures, reaching the late stage. Then, Wang Fuchen captured her.

Through the power of the rain dragon’s blood, not only did her bloodline power awaken, but her cultivation also progressed one step further, reaching the peak stage.

“Senior Sister, this is a Ginseng Fruit. You should be more familiar with its effects than me. Eat it and try to advance to the Qi Grandmaster realm, then we’ll leave this place.”

Chen Fan retrieved a wooden box from his storage ring, revealing a Ginseng Fruit.

“It’s really a Ginseng Fruit!” Qin Yao exclaimed. This fruit was a rare commodity, so obtaining one was hard. She hadn’t expected Chen Fan to be lucky enough to acquire one.

Despite the tempting offer, Qin Yao hesitated. "Xiaofan, it’s more useful if you consume the Ginseng Fruit instead. You’ll definitely be able to break through to the Qi Grandmaster realm in one go.”

Chen Fan shook his head and said, “Senior Sister, that was my plan, but I don’t need it anymore. I can advance to the ninth level at any time I want. I have already accumulated enough energy, so the Ginseng Fruit would be wasted on me. However, it’s perfect for you.”

Chen Fan shoved the Ginseng Fruit into Qin Yao’s hand and said, “So, don’t decline it, Senior Sister. I really don’t need it to advance. We should take this opportunity to advance both our cultivation levels. “A group of Devil-Faced Spiders is guarding this cave’s exit, and there is even a tier-two Devil-Faced Spider among them. It’s as strong as a Yuanfu realm expert. Additionally, there are numerous eighth- and ninth-level beasts outside. You will have difficulty leaving this place if you don’t become a Qi Grandmaster.”

He had keenly sensed the dangers outside the cave—a horde of ferocious Devil-Faced Spiders, including a tier-one, first-level beast, awaiting their exit.

He would have to face the Yuanfu realm beast while leaving, so he wouldn’t have any time or energy to look after Qin Yao.

Qin Yao no longer declined his offer. “Okay then. I’ll try my best to become a Qi Grandmaster so I won’t drag you down.”

Qin Yao’s mindset was changing.

Chen Fan used to be a martial arts trash. His dantian was like iron, and his meridians were blocked, making it impossible for him to cultivate.

However, after getting struck by lightning, his cultivation had progressed rapidly, swiftly catching up to Qin Yao and ultimately surpassing her.

Aware of this, Qin Yao didn\'t want to fall too far behind.

“That’s the way, Senior Sister. You have to fight with me against the Devil-Faced Spiders outside,” Chen Fan said with a smile.

The two sat in the lotus position.

Qin Yao swallowed the Ginseng Fruit, unleashing its boundless medicinal efficacy. A surge of primeval qi and vitality essence erupted, flooding her with power.

She immediately refined it using her cultivation technique, her aura gradually intensifying.

A pile of primeval stones appeared in Chen Fan’s hands.

Although he lacked nothing for his advancement to the Qi Grandmaster realm, a substantial amount of primeval qi was still required to support the process.

Two days later.

Boom boom!

Almost simultaneously, primeval qi spewed out from Chen Fan and Qin Yao’s skulls, forming pillars that shot straight into the sky, piercing the clouds.

This phenomenon marked the culmination of their breakthroughs to the Qi Grandmaster realm, reaching the ninth level of the Qigong realm.

......

While the two were immersed in their breakthroughs, Wang Fuchen and his cohorts had already ventured into the Black Sea Demon Cave, gearing up to seize the Ice Jade Snow Lotus.

With only a fraction of the half-month time limit remaining, the Black Sea Demon Cave, home to a plethora of powerful demon beasts, including the formidable Black Flood Dragon species, posed a formidable challenge.

Seizing the Ice Jade Snow Lotus wouldn\'t be a simple task, requiring a significant time allocation.
