He leaned in to take a closer look.
A surprising exotic fragrance assaulted his nostrils.
With just a whiff, Jiang Fan, who was at the Ninth Layer Perfection of Foundation Establishment, actually felt a hint of an upward breakthrough.
He had already cultivated the Foundation Establishment Realm to perfection, and yet it still had such an effect.
If he were at the Eighth Layer, wouldn’t one bite allow him to break through to the Ninth Layer?
This was even stronger than the Sword Forest of the Myriad Swords Sect!
And the lump of meat before him was enough to be divided into thousands of portions!
Taking it back to the Green Cloud Sect.
Wouldn’t it mean that Eighth Layer Foundation Establishments would be all over the place, and Ninth Layers would be as common as dogs?
Moreover, it would certainly have remarkable effects on the Core Formation Realm as well.
Indeed.
Yue Mingzhu, who had dressed, followed the scent and came over, her eyes sparkling: “Such powerful spiritual meat!”
“Eating three bites would make breaking through to the Ninth Layer of Core Formation no problem!”
“If the amount is sufficient, breaking through to the Ninth Layer of Core Formation Perfection within a short period might not be impossible!”
“This is a treasure! An enormous treasure!”
“It’s much better than any secret realm!”
The more she looked, the brighter her eyes shone, until she excitedly screamed.
Jiang Fan said: “Let’s split it evenly.”.
There was so much spiritual meat, even half of it would be more than enough for the Green Cloud Sect.
Yue Mingzhu thought for a moment, then said: “I’ll take three, and you take seven.”
“No matter whether it was killing the Blood Flood Dragon or deceiving the Sky-Burning Clam Pearl, it was all your credit.”
“At most, I just helped tame the Sea Charm.”
“Getting three-tenths is already a great deal for me.”
Jiang Fan nodded, not being too particular: “Alright, let’s go with your division.”
Soon.
The two of them each filled a giant package.
The Sea Charm watched enviously.
It had willingly guarded the birth of the Sky-Burning Clam Pearl here.
Aside from the significant credit it would earn, the spiritual meat of the giant clam was also exceedingly tempting for it.
For her, as a member of the Demon Race, the spiritual meat was even more alluring.
She was already at the Ninth Layer of Core Formation, and eating a few bites of clam meat would make breaking through to the Ninth Layer of Core Formation Perfection no problem.
Noticing her strange look.
Jiang Fan took out a lump of spiritual meat and handed it to her, saying: “Do you want to eat?”
The Sea Charm’s heart thrilled, but she forced a humble expression: “I don’t deserve such a reward without merit.”
She thought, if she was polite for a moment.
Jiang Fan would be more likely to give it to her.
Who knew, Jiang Fan would take it back, saying blandly: “Good to know!”
“If you want clam meat, you have to earn it with credit!”
How could he reward such precious clam meat to her?
Not punishing her for her previous trickery was already extraordinarily benevolent!
The Sea Charm’s face flushed red with shame and anger in her eyes.
This brat, such impertinence!
“Let me ask you, where is the Human Clan patrol team that came here a few days ago?”
Jiang Fan asked at this moment.
The Sea Charm reluctantly answered: “They are hiding deep in an ice canyon.”
“The Blood Flood Dragon can’t get in, and they don’t dare come out.”
Upon hearing this.
Jiang Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As he expected, Liu Qingxian was not dead; she had cleverly hidden in advance.
“Lead the way!”
Hundreds of miles away.
A huge ice canyon crack extended deep underground for miles.
But the depths of this crack were not in complete darkness.
A glow from a fire illuminated the dark underground brightly.
Liu Qingxian had become slenderer, but in the firelight, her face still shone brilliantly.
Beside her were Wang Chengjian and other elite disciples from the Three Sects.
Their cultivation levels were either in the Core Formation Realm or at the Ninth Layer Foundation Establishment.
This was a rare, strong alliance.
However.
They were trapped at the bottom of the crack.
And facing immense danger.
“Be careful, the cold wind is coming again!”
The narrow ice canyon crack occasionally emitted strange winds.
Not only bone-piercing cold, capable of freezing a martial artist’s body.
Even more terrifying, it contained a sinister cold poison.
Once inside the body, it could freeze a person’s blood vessels into ice, leading to rapid death!
In just a few days.
Everyone had been struck.
It was only due to Liu Qingxian’s bottle of Revitalizing Pills that they had been pulled back from the brink of death time and time again.
But, over the past month of frenzied missions, Liu Qingxian had already used up several of them.
In the past few days, the last few Revitalizing Pills had been used up.
If anyone gets struck by the cold poison again, they would only be able to wait for death.
Hearing the howling wind.
Everyone’s faces changed drastically.
They all hurriedly sought cover.
Liu Qingxian also quickly hid behind an ice pillar.
The strange cold wind blew past the ice pillar, making a gnawing sound like thousands of insects chewing away.
Liu Qingxian didn’t dare to take a deep breath.
She waited for the cold wind to calm, then cautiously poked her head out.
“Senior Sister Liu, let’s just rush out!”
One disciple, who had been on edge and hadn’t slept for several nights, with heavy eye bags and bloodshot eyes, spoke up.
His spirit was already at its limit.
This cold wind came sporadically, making none of them dare to sleep.
They had to stay vigilant at all times.
One day, two days, three days—they could endure.
But now it had been over ten days!
Even iron-willed individuals couldn’t take it.
Liu Qingxian shook her head. She was also very exhausted, her spirit teetering on the edge.
But she still retained her clear-headed rationale.
“We can’t go out; we have to wait for rescue!”
“The thing that attacked us is likely a War General under the Demon Emperor, the Blood Flood Dragon!”
“Records describe it as cunning, ruthless, and bloodthirsty.”
“We are safe here because it can’t get in.”
“But if we go out, we won’t be able to escape.”
The group felt helpless and low-spirited.
Outside was the Blood Flood Dragon, inside was the cold poison wind.
Every day was a torment.
Whoosh—
Suddenly.
Without warning, a gust of wind appeared.
Everyone had just let down their guard, no one was ready.
Before they could dodge, a wind that made the ice walls creak headed straight for Liu Qingxian.
She was talking to that disciple.
Her attention was divided.
When she realized it, it was already too late!
In the critical moment.
Wang Chengjian leaped out, shielding her.
The fierce wind hit, and Wang Chengjian’s body went limp, falling to the ground, unable to move.
“Ah! Senior Brother Wang was hit!”
“To save Senior Sister Liu, he used his body to block the cold wind!”
“It’s over. Without Revitalizing Pills, Senior Brother Wang will soon…succumb to the cold poison.”
Liu Qingxian was stunned.
Then her complexion changed drastically. She quickly knelt down, feeling guilty, and said:
“Senior Brother Wang, why did you do that?”
Wang Chengjian gazed blankly at the sky, giving a bitter smile: “Is dying for the one you love really worth it?”
These words moved the three disciples from the Outer Sect.
It turned out Wang Chengjian had always admired Liu Qingxian.
Liu Qingxian hurriedly said: “Senior Brother Wang, don’t speak, circulate your energy.”
“If the cold poison isn’t too much, perhaps it can be expelled.”
She avoided the topic.
After years of being together, she could naturally sense Wang Chengjian’s feelings for her.
However, he wasn’t the one she loved.
Wang Chengjian sneered inwardly: “You’re thinking about Jiang Fan, aren’t you?”
He wasn’t affected by any cold poison at all.
That wind just now was created by him on purpose!
Considering the time, Sunset City should have sent rescuers by now.
The day of escape was near.
If he didn’t seize this opportunity to win over Liu Qingxian.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
He would never have the chance again.
Though the method wasn’t honorable, to win her, he couldn’t care less!
“Cough, cough…” He pretended to be weak, coughing violently, and said:
“Junior Sister, my greatest wish is to marry you.”
“Don’t say that!” Liu Qingxian was anxious and distressed.
If Wang Chengjian died for her sake.
She would feel guilty for a lifetime.
“If I don’t say it now… I won’t have another chance to…”
Wang Chengjian forced a smile, his speech becoming intermittent, looking like he was about to die:
“Junior Sister… Before I die… can you fulfill my wish?”
“Marry me… even if just for now…”
As long as Liu Qingxian agreed at this moment.
It would be considered a marriage agreement.
Even outside, it would count!
The three Outer Sect disciples had no idea Wang Chengjian was deceiving them and were deeply moved.
“What a true romantic.”
“Senior Sister Liu, agree, Senior Brother Wang is not going to make it.”
“Do you want him to die with regrets?”
Liu Qingxian bit her red lip.
She was deeply moved.
However, agreeing to marry Wang Chengjian was a promise that had to be kept.
Even if Wang Chengjian died, it meant they had an engagement.
Would she still be worthy of Jiang Fan?
