Chapter 38: She Is Helping Me

As he continuously absorbed Artistic Energy and Qi Blood Energy, the Cold Light on Chen Yan's body became increasingly prominent.

At his heart, the Qi Blood Energy became more solid, his heart rate quickened, and the *thump-thump-thump* sound of his heartbeat rang out like a thunder drum.

Yin Zhe coursed through every part of his heart, helping Chen Yan absorb the Qi Blood Energy with extreme speed.

It was like a gluttonous giant snake, wrapping up all the Qi Blood nearby and pulling it into Chen Yan's body.

So much so that the red mist of Qi Blood near Chen Yan actually formed a vortex, appearing above Chen Yan's head in a back-flowing torrent.

Gradually, Chen Yan's entire body was shrouded in cold mist, his whole person radiating a harmonious glow, extremely calm.

Chen Yan began to crudely circulate the 【Chaos Abyss Art】, his heart at this moment seeming to turn into a perfect machine.

Mellow Qi Blood Energy gathered from Chen Yan's body, hair, and skin into his heart, where it was converted by the 【Chaos Abyss Art】 into frigid energy, merging with the Yin Zhe.

The Yin Zhe had grown stronger!

Chen Yan was certain that if it were an ordinary person, they absolutely could not absorb it as quickly as he could.

Clang!

A thick, heavy sound of a door opening rang out from the depths of the Blood-Sniffing Room, and two figures walked out from the deeper Intermediate Blood-Sniffing Room.

"You haven't entered the Hundred Meridians yet; for you, the Intermediate Blood-Sniffing Room has too much energy, which will instead cause meridian blockage. It is better to be in the Chu Xue Shi."

A Zhong Nian Nan Zi wearing black-rimmed glasses and a Town Martial Division Uniform spoke to a girl beside him.

"Mm." The good-looking girl nodded, though there was a hint of unyielding spirit in her eyes:

"Teacher Shen, actually, I think I was just a bit unaccustomed to it the first time. If I cultivate slowly, I can actually cultivate in the Intermediate Cultivation Room."

The middle-aged man gave a faint laugh:

"It is normal to feel unconvinced after losing to Chu Xuanxian, but the path to becoming strong is not about a single moment, but a lifetime. Take it steadily."

The girl was stunned, a cold glint appearing in her eyes, but she still nodded:

"Next time, I will defeat him in front of the Gong Family!"

The Zhong Nian Nan Zi nodded, sighing in his heart.

In these years, the Qi Fortune of the great families is like a dragon; even a small Gong Family has now grown into a massive entity capable of shaking the Town Martial Division.

The younger generation is even more so, with many Heavenly Prides; this Chu Xuanxian is not even a member of the Gong Family.

The Town Martial Division is in a difficult spot, Qinzhou is in a difficult spot, and Xia Country is in a difficult spot.

The man's expression turned a bit unpleasant, and the girl beside him looked over, clenching her fists even tighter.

The two walked on.

"Huh." The Zhong Nian Nan Zi was slightly stunned; his gaze pierced through the red mist of Qi Blood and saw Chen Yan.

"Someone is still here this late; it seems diligent people are not just you and me."

Beside him, the girl also looked over, commenting with slight surprise:

"Such a fast absorption speed, and it even carries an ice attribute; that's quite good."

Surprise also appeared in the Zhong Nian Nan Zi's eyes, and he nodded, recognizing the 【Chaos Abyss Art】 in Chen Yan's hands at a glance:

"The intensity of the Qi Blood on his body is not high; it is clear he has only just entered the Five Viscera Realm.

But look, he can absorb Qi Blood so rapidly even in the Chu Xue Shi; you should learn from him."

The girl beside him choked slightly, but then nodded.

When she first entered the Five Viscera Realm, it was impossible for her to have such a rapid absorption speed, and her own Master was the Vice Chief of the City Town Martial Division.

This person was another Heavenly Pride!

She clenched her fists and walked quickly in one direction, to the place her Master had mentioned where the Qi Blood was dense.

The Zhong Nian Nan Zi smiled and nodded; his Disciple never accepted defeat in anything.

As they passed Chen Yan, the Zhong Nian Nan Zi was stunned:

"Common Grade intermediate ice element?" His brows furrowed; it was a bit abnormal.

"Kid, which school are you from?"

Chen Yan raised his head; there was a red mist in front of him, and he could only vaguely see a tall, thin figure, but the majesty radiating from the person was terrifying.

Chen Yan remembered Luo Puxin's words and spoke:

"I am from the Gong Family."

As soon as Chen Yan finished speaking, he suddenly felt a terrifying chill erupt from the man, making one feel fear:

"Did you register when you came here?" the man shouted again, his face turning gloomy.

Chen Yan did not speak.

The man narrowed his eyes, the chill even more intense, but he said nothing and left directly.

Walking out of the room, the man's Mu Jin remained cold.

"Gong Family members have been feeding on my Town Martial Division for a long time." He looked back at the door of the Blood-Sniffing Room and narrowed his eyes.

He had thought it was a genius, but it was just a parasite feeding on the nation's strength.

The Gong Family produces many geniuses?

That is indeed the case.

But more people in the Gong Family have become so-called geniuses by spending far more Wealth than ordinary people.

If others cultivate Martial Dao with one hundred, and you use ten thousand a day, it would be strange if you were not better than others.

But where does this money come from?

The sweat and blood of the people!

Thinking of this, the Zhong Nian Nan Zi's Aura grew colder; as he walked, he heard a loud laugh:

"Lao Shen!"

Luo Puxin was walking down the stairs, laughing aloud:

"I thought you had gone home to rest. I was just saying it was strange; you are such a workaholic."

The Zhong Nian Nan Zi named Shen Yiwei saw the person arriving, and his expression softened slightly:

"Lao Luo, you've come."

He grabbed Luo Puxin's arm, very happy to see his old friend.

"What's wrong? Who made you angry?" Luo Puxin asked in surprise.

"Don't mention it, just those things." Shen Yiwei shook his head slowly. The Martial Officer Town was large, there were many people, and many ears; he would not speak directly.

"Heh."

Luo Puxin gave a faint laugh:

"Let's go to your Office. We'll drink some Wine first, and I'll tell you some good news in a moment."

"Mm."

Shen Yiwei nodded. Luo Puxin was his old comrade-in-arms; with his strength not being weak, having him come to help made him feel both joyful and grateful.

…………

Inside the Blood-Sniffing Room.

Chen Yan let out a sigh of relief. As expected, once he said he was from the Gong Family, there were no issues.

The Gong Family's influence was indeed great; he had even heard of the Gong Family back in the village.

"You are from the Gong Family?" A cold Woman's voice rang out in the Blood-Sniffing Room, carrying hostility.

"Yes." Chen Yan spoke again.

"Who is your Father?" the Woman asked again.

Chen Yan did not speak. He did not know how to answer. Gong Yuhu?

Seeing that Chen Yan did not answer, the Woman gave a Cold Snort:

"Very well!"

Chen Yan Frown, but he ignored her further. He did not have much time; now he not only had to absorb Qi Blood Energy but also perform Observation and Imagination of the 【Chaos Abyss Art】.

His attention turned to the Origin Crystal of the 【Chaos Abyss Art】. Chen Yan's own comprehension was quite good, and he had even consumed two Ji Character Fruit.

His understanding of the 【Chaos Abyss Art】 and the Martial Dao of Qi-Blood was no longer what it had been before.

In the Martial Dao of Qi-Blood, the First Boundary is the Five Viscera Realm, cultivating the Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lung, and Kidney.

Storing and containing Qi Blood Energy, the body is like a furnace, and the Qi Blood Energy is like mercury.

After the Five Viscera, it is the Hundred Meridians; when the Qi reaches the Hundred Meridians, the body is endowed with spiritual brilliance.

The Martial Dao of Qi-Blood does not cultivate the Flesh; Qi Blood Energy is energy, a type of energy that can be utilized by people.

A Qi-Blood Warrior's defense can become high because Qi Blood Energy can Float on the Flesh, and every particle of the body is protected by Qi Blood Energy, naturally making it powerful.

The same is true for throwing a Fist; with one punch, the Qi Blood Energy surges, and the power is immense.

For instance, the 【Chaos Abyss Art】 can allow one to cultivate to the peak of the Hundred Meridians Realm; with one punch, one can Ice Seal a Lake.

This is a Method that exceeds imagination.

But the physique of a Qi-Blood Warrior itself is not strong.

Therefore, Horizontal Refinement is also very important.

Many people do not practice Horizontal Refinement; one reason is the issue of talent, and the second is that they do not have enough time to practice Horizontal Refinement, so they might as well switch to cultivating one path.

You cultivate two paths, which is fine, but when you have twelve patterns of Horizontal Refinement and your Qi Blood Energy reaches the middle stage of the Five Viscera Realm, I might already have reached the Hundred Meridians of Qi Blood Energy.

"But I have the Holy Tree, and I myself am not lacking in talent or perseverance," Chen Yan whispered in his heart.

He operated the 【Chaos Abyss Art】 and the Yin Zhe.

Originally, Chen Yan's speed of absorbing Qi Blood Energy had slowed down.

But as both the 【Chaos Abyss Art】 and the Yin Zhe were constantly growing stronger, the more powerful they became, the higher Chen Yan's absorption rate of Qi Blood Energy was.

The biting Ice Seal air currents circled him like a Vortex, and Chen Yan's entire person was like an ice magnet, greedily absorbing the energy in the surroundings.

Two and a half hours later, the Fifth 【Blood】 Character Sacred Fruit matured.

Chen Yan stood up and began to move his position. The Qi Blood Energy in the original spot did not seem very abundant. Based on the amount of red light within the Po Saint Realm, he could find a truly dense location.

After choosing a spot, Chen Yan sat down again.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Streams of red mist suddenly flowed beside him. Chen Yan was startled; someone not far away was absorbing the energy on his side.

Why wait until he arrived to absorb it?

Chen Yan was impatient and moved to another spot. After all, he hadn't registered, and he didn't want to cause trouble for Luo Puxin.

After choosing a spot, red mist currents began to blow beside Chen Yan again.

Chen Yan Frown and continued to search.

It was the same again.

It never ends, does it?

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes. This place was already the best location he had found; even with the interference, the concentration of Qi Blood Energy was higher than before.

Forget it, start absorbing!

"Hmm?"

Not far away, the sitting Woman had a cold Mu Jin. Since he was from the Gong Family and had come secretly, she would not be polite.

Her Master could not be bothered to deal with juniors, but she was a junior herself.

Start absorbing!

With me here, you won't be able to absorb much energy.

Operating her Cultivation Method, the Woman held her Breath and focused, beginning to release her own Qi Blood Energy to envelop the red mist.

In her Perception, it felt as if a block of Ice Seal had been standing beside her for a long time.

The Woman gave a Cold Snort and guided her own Qi Blood to begin absorbing the Qi Blood Energy from the other side.

This was a rather shameless method: first release her own Qi Blood, then wrap it around Chen Yan's Qi Blood to prevent Chen Yan from absorbing it.

If the other party sucked the blood of the Martial Officer, she would suck the other party's blood.

Any problem?

Being able to circulate Qi Blood so sensitively is something that can generally only be done at the peak of the Five Viscera Realm; she was bullying Chen Yan because his strength was not high.

The Woman carefully operated her Qi Blood, soon arrived beside Chen Yan, and a Smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Hiss...

A cold current suddenly emerged from within Chen Yan's body, and the Woman widened her Pupils.

So cold!

Just now, the Qi Blood Energy she had unleashed...

Was eaten?

Impossible!

A martial artist cannot possibly devour the other party's Qi Blood Energy like this!

On the other side, Chen Yan's Mu Guang flashed; what pure Qi Blood Energy!

It was even purer than this red mist!

This was not absorbed by himself, but by Yin Zhe.

Yin Zhe ate this mass of Qi Blood Energy, and then Chen Yan used the 【Deep Abyss Art】 to refine this mass of Qi Blood Energy.

Could Yin Zhe actually absorb the Qi Blood Energy of others?

Was there a problem with Yin Zhe, or was the Woman simply helping him?

The other party had intentionally let him sit here.

The Qi Blood Energy was also given to him by the other party.

The other party was helping him!

Why?

Could it be that the other party was also a member of the Gong Family, knew he was a member of the Gong Family, and thus came to help him?

Chen Yan felt guilty and dared not speak.

Within the Po Saint Realm, a large expanse of red light suddenly gathered and was absorbed by the Po Saint Tree.

A few more times, and the sixth 【Blood】 Character Sacred Fruit would be ripe.

A great harvest!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

At this moment, another mass of Qi Blood Energy drifted over; Chen Yan's Mu Guang flickered, as this Woman was helping him so much.

He felt moved in his heart, activated Yin Zhe, and once again consumed this mass of pure Qi Blood Energy.

This time, it was even purer and more majestic than the last.

A new Sacred Fruit grew by another fraction.

In the distance, within the red mist, the Woman's Pupils widened.

Her own Qi Blood had disappeared again.

Was it frozen, then disappeared, and eaten?

"Not right!" She gritted her Teeth, for a martial artist cannot directly absorb the Qi Blood of another.

No, actually some people could, but it required extremely special Methods.

This person had only just entered the Five Viscera Realm; it was impossible for him to have such a peculiar ability.

Her own Qi Blood must have been frozen by the other party and then dissipated.

That must be it.

The Qi Blood was frozen, so she could no longer sense it, which was why she thought it had been eaten.

What a strong Ice Element ability!

The Woman's hostility deepened; having such Elemental Energy just after entering the Five Viscera Realm, how many treasures of Heaven and Earth had the Gong Family fed him?

No wonder Master detested the Gong Family so much.

Wisps of cold air emerged, and the Woman clearly felt this biting cold current.

Was he provoking her?

She operated her Cultivation Method, and her own Qi Blood flowed out and headed toward Chen Yan; she did not believe she would lose to someone who had just entered the Five Viscera Realm.

Hiss!

Yin Zhe ate this mass of Qi Blood Energy, and Chen Yan was surprised; she was being a bit too generous.

Or was it that the other party simply did not care about these things?

Should he thank her?

What if he let something slip?

Chen Yan chose to keep his mouth shut and continued his Cultivation Technique; the third 【Technique】 Character Sacred Fruit and the sixth 【Blood】 Character Sacred Fruit were about to ripen.

At the same time, in the distance.

The Woman was already furious, yet the cold current circling around her gradually dissipated.

Was he no longer provoking her?

Freezing her Qi Blood must have also consumed quite a bit of his Elemental Energy.

The Woman narrowed her eyes.

Hmph.

She did not choose to continue interfering with Chen Yan, but instead began absorbing the surrounding red mist of SoulRefining; as long as she absorbed all the Qi Blood Energy here, the other party would be unable to absorb it.

At the same time.

The third Technique Character Break-Saint Fruit ripened.

Chen Yan's Pupil glowed brilliantly, and after consuming it, his own understanding of the Chaos Abyss Art reached a new level.

Coupled with the effect of Yin Zhe, the speed of absorbing SoulRefining became even faster!
