“You are the live-in son-in-law of the Su family’s eldest daughter. If I weren’t the eldest daughter of the Su family, then who would you be?” Su Ran didn’t directly respond to Chen Fei’s words but instead asked a rhetorical question.
“You are my wife, and of course, you are the eldest daughter of the Su family.” Chen Fei laughed heartily, settling the matter with a firm conclusion.
As they spoke, they continued venturing deeper, searching for rare treasures and the most precious spiritual ore deposits.
Meanwhile, on the other side, four of Qinling’s elite disciples had gathered. The sixth senior brother, after consuming a precious Grade Four pill, recovered quickly.
Only the Qinling Sect possessed such deep resources, allowing even a Nascent Spirit Realm disciple to carry Grade Four pills for protection.
However, despite his recovery, the sixth senior brother did not show any joy. Instead, his face remained cold, causing the other three around him to remain silent, not daring to speak.
“Did you leave behind a special tracking method?” the sixth senior brother asked indifferently.
“It’s already been set up!” One of them quickly nodded.
“I never expected that one day, we would suffer a loss at the hands of a member of the Ten Thousand Nations Chamber of Commerce.”
“This Chen Yang is extremely powerful. His spiritual energy’s intensity is far beyond ours.”
“He obtained the Golden Fruit. He will likely soon step into the True Spirit Master Realm.”
“If we want to settle this blood debt, we must request the assistance of our senior brother. Even then, our senior brother may not have a high chance of victory if he faces Chen Yang alone.”
The sixth senior brother spoke as he strategized with his junior disciples on how to deal with Chen Yang.
Qinling’s disciples were known for their arrogance.
Within the Qinling region, they had always acted with dominance, rarely meeting opponents who could challenge them—let alone someone who could suppress all the disciples of their generation.
At this moment, their focus was not on recruiting such a talented individual for their sect but rather on avenging their loss and restoring Qinling’s prestige.
This was the arrogance of a great sect—once it grew powerful enough to have no rivals, it became overbearing and unrestrained. In their eyes, anyone who wasn’t a Qinling disciple, no matter how talented, had to submit.
“Contact our senior brother and the others. We must not act separately. Otherwise, any individual team encountering Chen Yang alone will stand no chance against him.”
“Only by combining our strength, setting up a grand formation, and using our sect’s joint combat techniques can we suppress and kill Chen Yang!”
The sixth senior brother declared.
“Sixth senior brother, Chen Yang’s talent is extraordinary. Perhaps we could lure him into our sect instead…” One of the disciples cautiously suggested.
However, before he could finish speaking, the sixth senior brother suddenly struck him with a palm, sending him flying. His voice was icy as he said, “As a Qinling disciple, how can you be so ignorant? The moment he chose to disregard Qinling’s name, he lost the right to be part of our sect!”
Instantly, everyone fell silent, feeling the intense anger radiating from their sixth senior brother.
Who was their sixth senior brother?
Others might not know, but the three present understood well—he was the only grandson of a Supreme Elder of Qinling!
With such a status, even if he wasn’t the most talented among his generation, even their senior brother had to show him respect and treat him with courtesy.
With that, they quickly sent messages to the other six Qinling teams, mobilizing for action.
Upon hearing that their sixth senior brother had been injured by an unknown Chen Yang, who had also stolen the Golden Fruit and the Evergreen Tree’s fortune, the Qinling disciples were enraged.
Someone dared to challenge Qinling’s authority?
As members of Qinling, they naturally had to stand up for their sixth senior brother. No matter who the opponent was, they had to capture him alive and deliver him to their sixth senior brother for punishment.
A total of twenty-four Qinling disciples gathered, six of whom had successfully entered the True Spirit Master Realm.
With such a formidable force, once they converged, they could sweep through the entire first level of the secret realm.
Under the leadership of the sixth senior brother, they followed the tracking method left on Chen Fei and set off in pursuit with great momentum.
At this time, Chen Fei remained unaware that after seizing the sixth senior brother’s opportunity and injuring him, he had provoked the collective wrath of all the Qinling disciples.
He and Su Ran continued moving forward until, unknowingly, they reached the deepest part of the first level of the secret realm.
And there, just as they had hoped, they discovered the legendary spiritual ore deposit.
Looking at the mist-covered spiritual ore in front of them, both Chen Fei and Su Ran felt an inexplicable surge of excitement.
The spiritual energy was so dense that it had condensed into mist!
Without hesitation, the two of them stepped into the misty spiritual energy zone.
Cultivating in this place was equivalent to using top-grade spirit stones.
Moreover, as long as one remained within the mist-covered area, they could absorb tremendous benefits with every breath, even without actively cultivating.
Such an opportunity was not something either of them would give up.
Upon entering, Chen Fei immediately sat cross-legged and activated the Void Heaven Cauldron, rapidly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
The pure spiritual energy was drawn into the Void Heaven Cauldron, refined into powerful spiritual force, and continuously strengthened his cultivation.
This process was simple yet incredibly efficient.
On the other side, Su Ran wasted no time and directly summoned a phoenix phantom. With every breath, the phantom devoured vast amounts of spiritual energy like a whale gulping down water.
At this moment, the spiritual ore zone belonged solely to the two of them.
Their relentless and direct absorption of spiritual energy visibly depleted the mist, yet each time an area was cleared, the spiritual energy quickly replenished itself.
Under the nourishment of this abundant spiritual energy, their cultivation skyrocketed.
Chen Fei rapidly reached the peak of the Nascent Spirit Realm and began advancing toward the Half-Step True Spirit Master Realm.
Meanwhile, Su Ran’s phoenix phantom grew brighter and more distinct. The moment it solidified from an illusion into reality would mark her complete awakening of the Phoenix Bloodline.
For a time, they were like two devouring whirlpools, continuously drawing in the pure and rich spiritual energy.
It seemed as though an endless reserve of spiritual energy lay hidden beneath the earth, constantly replenishing their consumption.
After nearly an hour of absorbing spiritual energy, Chen Fei successfully stepped into the Half-Step True Spirit Master Realm.
At that moment, he was surprised to discover that the Void Heaven Cauldron had become “picky” again. Rather than using the abundant spiritual energy to push for a breakthrough, it had instead begun refining his flesh and skin, enhancing his physical strength.
In contrast, Su Ran’s phoenix phantom remained unchanged, continuing to devour the surrounding spiritual energy without any sign of stopping.
Just as the two of them were immersed in this heavenly cultivation environment, suddenly, both Chen Fei and Su Ran sensed a group of people rapidly approaching their location.
