Chapter 59: Senior, you don't want to be unable to break through your realm, do you?

"What's the matter?" Lu Chen asked.

Qin Yan's expression was silent, as if she had thought of something.

"These things, please hand them over to Qin Lin for me."

She handed over all of her storage bags to Lu Chen.

"As an exchange, you may take any one item from my storage bag."

Upon hearing those two sentences, Lu Chen was somewhat surprised.

He couldn't see through the other's cultivation level; it should be at the Spirit Transformation Realm or higher.

Given her cultivation, she certainly had plenty of trump cards, so why would she discard them all at this moment?

It seemed she sensed his doubt, and Qin Yan let out a faint sigh:

"If possible, after you return to the Nine Abyss Sect, don't come back."

"Why? May I ask the senior to explain the reason a bit?"

Lu Chen could clearly tell from the other's words that there was definitely a problem.

She must know something about the Heaven Demon Sect's sect master.

Qin Yan did not speak immediately; her expression showed some hesitation.

In her view, Lu Chen was merely a Pill Condensation cultivator; even if he knew, he couldn't change anything.

However, it seemed that because this matter had been buried in her heart, she also wanted to find someone to confide in.

Thus, she waved her hand, set up a soundproof formation, and told Lu Chen the information she knew.

What she knew was not much different from what Lu Chen had guessed.

It all concerned the Heaven Demon Sect's sect master Youhuang and the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Grand Art.

Qin Yan had also cultivated this technique; recently she clearly felt somewhat unable to keep up.

Moreover, she discovered that she could no longer leave the sect in recent times.

The sect's grand formation, due to some power, restricted her, who had cultivated the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Grand Art, within it.

"I see."

Lu Chen then understood why the other party did not go personally.

"Is there really no other way? Senior, are you just planning to sit and wait for death?"

"There is a method, though: if I can break through to the Cave Heaven Realm, I can rely on the power of the Sea of Consciousness to completely erase everything of this technique. But... I am merely a newly promoted elder of the sect; I only broke through to Spirit Condensation Perfection a few years ago, so breaking through to the Cave Heaven Realm in a short time is hardly easy."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen keenly caught a hint.

"Just breaking through to the Cave Heaven Realm can resolve this crisis?"

Lu Chen confirmed it again.

"Hmm." Qin Yan nodded, her expression still very calm.

From just now until now, aside from showing a hint of hesitation, her face basically showed no emotion.

"I actually have a method that can help you break through."

Lu Chen's face bore a slight smile, and then he began searching for something in his storage bag.

Seeing this action, a glimmer of hope flashed in Qin Yan's eyes.

But the next moment, upon seeing what Lu Chen held in his hand, the hope in her eyes vanished.

Because what Lu Chen held was precisely the Plain Hand Cauldron Tuning Technique that Su Qian had previously cultivated.

"I never expected that I would actually think a Pill Condensation cultivator like him could have a means to break through to the Cave Heaven Realm."

Qin Yan laughed at her own foolishness.

She glanced at Lu Chen, and her expression returned to plain.

"If you keep teasing me, don't blame me for killing you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was frightened and immediately stepped back two paces.

Given his current situation, if she really made a move, he estimated he'd end up with only a remnant soul, just like the Empress.

Seeing that she had no intention to strike, he made a little mental preparation and planned to persuade her again.

After all, she is at Spirit Condensation Perfection; being dual‑cultivated by a cultivator of that realm, her breakthrough speed would certainly be fast.

"Senior, why don't you give it a try?"

"If it doesn't work, I'm willing to offer my own head!"

Lu Chen pointed to his own head.

Qin Yan clearly did not believe him; even upon hearing those words, she planned to take the item back and find someone else to deliver it.

"Enough noise, die!" Her expression turned cold, and the weapon in her hand was already drawn.

"No, no, no! I'll just leave......"

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Lu Chen had no recourse.

But just then, he suddenly thought of something.

He sent a mental transmission to Su Qian, ordering her to come immediately to the Demonic Technique Pavilion.

Su Qian suppressed the Crimson Thunder Beast with multiple formations, then rushed over right away.

Seeing Lu Chen still loitering in place, unwilling to leave, Qin Yan's expression grew worse.

But just then, she noticed a strange aura approaching upstairs.

"A Spirit Condensation Stage cultivator?"

The Heaven Demon Sect Elder Qin Yan knew all of them, so she became quite puzzled.

"Su Qian, over here."

Lu Chen greeted Su Qian, and only then did Su Qian come before Qin Yan.

Just now, after sending a voice transmission, Lu Chen had already told Su Qian the general outline of what happened.

"Senior, you don't believe what I said, do you? You can ask her; her cultivation level should be convincing enough."

Qin Yan observed Su Qian up and down, but the doubt in her eyes remained strong.

What puzzled her most was that the relationship between the two seemed off.

Logically, the higher one's cultivation, the higher their status should be, but......

"Senior, if you don't believe......"

Seeing Qin Yan still not believing after observing for a long time, Su Qian anxiously spoke up.

There are still hidden dangers with the Red Thunder Beast over there; if too much time passes, it might escape.

She said this, and then, right in front of Qin Yan, she walked up to Lu Chen.

"What are you doing?"

Before Qin Yan's words even fell, she hurriedly covered her eyes.

She had lived for many years, and although she had seen female cultivators who mainly practiced dual cultivation before, this was indeed the first time she had witnessed such a scene.

Just as she was at a loss, suddenly, her eyes twitched.

She noticed the change in Su Qian's aura.

"Her aura actually suddenly rose by a bit?"

"Is it because of that technique?"

"Impossible; even a dual cultivation technique couldn't have such a strong effect."

"Could it be related to that male cultivator?"

At this moment, Qin Yan began to believe a little.

After all, hearing is false, seeing is believing.

She personally watched Su Qian's cultivation rise a bit while she practiced dual cultivation.

"But why hasn't his cultivation level dropped? Instead, it actually rose in a short time!"

Qin Yan felt utterly shocked; her lips unconsciously opened slightly, and for a moment she couldn't utter a word.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Su Qian and Lu Chen soon stopped.

"Master...... Lu Chen, I'm going back first."

Su Qian anxiously went back to deal with the Red Thunder Beast matter, so Lu Chen did not stop her.

Lu Chen came before Qin Yan and again took out that Plain Hand Cauldron-Regulating Technique from his storage bag.

"Senior, you can consider it."

"If you've decided, you can come find me here."

After leaving a place for the other party, Lu Chen then departed without saying more.

Qin Yan stood alone in place, looking at the technique in her hand, and remained silent for a long time.

"Should I go? But what if......"

Looking at the last hope before her, Qin Yan indeed very much wanted to seize it.

But this method of seizing it made her a little embarrassed.

"Let's try...... if it doesn't work, we'll just kill him."
