Chapter 1953

After his cultivation breakthrough succeeded, Ye Zhangqing felt his meridians throughout his body completely unobstructed, the true qi within him surging tumultuously, as if he could break through the heavens! This exhilarating feeling instantly made his mood exceptionally relaxed, and a brilliant smile spontaneously appeared on his face.

However, when he finally came to his senses from that wonderful state, he was astonished to discover that two people, Tang Xin and Huang Chong, were still standing in the courtyard.

At this moment, Tang Xin stood dazedly in place, her beautiful eyes wide open, mouth slightly agape, her face full of disbelief, exactly as if she had seen a ghost, and she silently muttered to herself.

"What kind of monster is this guy? He finished the breakthrough so quickly? Even eating and drinking couldn't be this easy!"

In contrast, Huang Chong beside him appeared much more composed, as if he were already accustomed to such a situation. He quickly stepped forward and said respectfully.

Shī xiōng, Tang Xin has arrived.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing was first slightly startled, then quickly reacted, smiling and nodding at Tang Xin, and enthusiastically invited.

Eh, Senior Sister, please sit here.

As for Tang Xin at this moment, she was completely in a dazed state, her head buzzing, and she didn't hear clearly what Ye Zhangqing said.

Only when Ye Zhangqing personally walked over to her side and lightly patted her shoulder did she snap out of it like waking from a dream, but her body, uncontrollably, followed him to the chair and then sat down in a daze.

You should know that as the Young City Lord of the Cooking King Immortal City, Tang Xin usually sees countless talented youths.

Among them naturally are some with extraordinary talent and astonishing cultivation speed.

But compared to Ye Zhangqing before her, those so-called geniuses are merely petty witches seeing a great witch.

After all, even those whose cultivation speed is relatively fast will encounter some bottlenecks or obstacles when breaking through.

But Ye Zhangqing, on the other hand, merely leisurely sipped tea and easily completed a major cultivation breakthrough, which is truly unimaginable.

Only when Ye Zhangqing's clear and magnetic voice drifted over, like a clear spring flowing into Tang Xin's heart, did she snap out of it like waking from a dream.

Only saw Ye Zhangqing standing tall like a pine, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, a faint smile playing at the corner of his mouth, his gaze bright as he looked at her.

"Senior Sister's sudden grand visit must be for some important matter to discuss, right?"

Ye Zhangqing got straight to the point and asked directly.

He also secretly thought that he and this Tang Xin Senior Sister usually had little interaction, almost no contact, let alone any deep affection.

Today, Tang Xin Senior Sister actually came to the door on her own initiative, which surely isn't just for idle chitchat.

Upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's blunt question, Tang Xin first blinked, then took a deep breath, striving to calm the surging waves in her heart, forcibly suppressing that shock.

She composed herself, then replied with a solemn expression.

"To be frank, Junior Brother, I indeed came here uninvited to ask you for a small favor. But rest assured, I will absolutely not let you work for nothing."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing did not immediately agree, but after a brief silence, he slowly raised his head, calmly gazing at Tang Xin, and spoke softly.

"Since Senior Sister has already spoken, I, as Junior Brother, ought not to refuse. I just don't know what matter requires my assistance; if it is within my ability, I will certainly give my all."

Tang Xin lightly bit her lip, seeming somewhat hesitant, but finally mustered the courage to speak.

"I would like to earnestly ask Junior Brother to go with me to a mysterious Mi Jing to seek a rare treasure."

Huh???

Upon hearing Tang Xin's words, Ye Zhangqing couldn't help but be slightly startled, and he silently wondered to himself.

"How come it's another Mi Jing again? Are the people of the Immortal Realm so fond of inviting others to team up and explore Mi Jing?"

A hint of doubt appeared on his face, his gaze fixed directly on Tang Xin.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's expression, Tang Xin hurriedly explained.

"Junior Brother, you don't know this, but the Mi Jing we are going to is called the Ancient Dragon Battlefield. It is said that in ancient times, the Ancient Dragon clan suddenly erupted in an extremely brutal internal war that led to the clan's annihilation, and that place was precisely the main battlefield of that war."

She paused slightly, then continued.

"In the Ancient Dragon Battlefield lie vast quantities of ancient dragon bones, and more importantly, there is precious ancient dragon blood. What I, Senior Sister, seek is precisely this ancient dragon blood, because it is of great use to me, so I earnestly ask Junior Brother for help."

After saying all this, Tang Xin truthfully detailed the Ancient Dragon Battlefield to Ye Zhangqing. After all, since she was asking for help, she naturally dared not conceal anything.

However, after Ye Zhangqing finished listening to Tang Xin's introduction, he couldn't help but feel doubtful, furrowed his brows, and asked.

"What Senior Sister said, I, Junior Brother, have understood. However, according to what you just said, even a powerhouse like you with Immortal King Realm cultivation entering the Ancient Dragon Battlefield lacks full confidence, so what could someone like me, merely at Emperor Sovereign Realm cultivation, possibly help with?"

In the previous battle between Tang Xin and the Young Palace Master of the Ultimate Bliss Palace, the cultivation displayed had already reached the Immortal King Realm.

"Even you, an Immortal King Realm cultivator, need to find help to enter there; what could I, an Emperor Sovereign Realm cultivator, possibly do?"

Facing Ye Zhangqing's doubt, Tang Xin didn't hesitate and blurted out.

"Because Junior Brother, your combat strength is strong."

"Although Tang Xin's true reason in her heart was not nonsense, upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing furrowed his brows slightly and said."

"Senior Sister, no matter how strong the combat strength, cultivation always has its limits; it's impossible to ignore the cultivation gap, right?"

When Ye Zhangqing said this, he seemed rather helpless, thinking, "My combat strength is strong but my cultivation is low; if I don't suppress my cultivation, I, Ye Zhangqing, admit I am no match for Tang Xin."

"There is always a limit to this."

In response, Tang Xin first blinked, then hurriedly said.

"Sorry, Junior Brother, I just forgot to mention that the Ancient Dragon Battlefield has its own special restriction: it doesn't limit age, but it does suppress cultivation."

"Anyone who enters the Ancient Dragon Battlefield whose cultivation exceeds Cultivation: Great Emperor Realm will be suppressed down to the Cultivation: Great Emperor Realm level, even Immortal Emperor Realm experts are no exception."

"So upon entering, everyone basically ends up at the same cultivation level, and with Junior Brother's combat strength, at the same realm he should be invincible; even if he encounters those few Yāoniè, he could still fight them, which is why I dared to ask Junior Brother to lend a hand."

"I hope Junior Brother can lend me a hand; afterward, I will surely repay you handsomely."
