Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

Qin Quan immediately saw through the crux of Jiang Yao's problem, and his expression became extremely solemn.

This is not an ordinary breakthrough at all, but rather a result of insufficient meridian capacity, preventing a massive amount of true energy from circulating within the body.

It's like a flood peak passing by, a small river carrying a mighty river.

Once the limit is exceeded, her meridians and dantian will completely collapse, resulting in her body exploding and dying.

The situation is critical and there is no time to lose!

"Sister Yao, focus your energy and relax your whole body!"

Qin Quan spoke in a deep voice, and a ball of golden spiritual energy condensed at his fingertips.

Then, he pointed out with one finger.

Whoosh!

Divine consciousness and spiritual energy were simultaneously infused into Jiang Yao's body.

Under Qin Quan's manipulation, the wisp of spiritual energy acted like a sharp scalpel, heading straight for the crux of the problem.

Jiang Yao has practiced martial arts since childhood and has never been exposed to orthodox methods of cultivating immortality.

At this moment, Qin Quan held nothing back. He not only wanted to help her open her meridians, but also to switch her from martial arts to immortality cultivation. He forcibly transferred the immortality cultivation method that Yuquan Temple did not pass on into Jiang Yao's mind with his divine sense, forcibly helping her change her cultivation path.

"Sister Yao, abandon your previous martial arts cultivation methods and follow my guidance to open up the acupoints throughout your body and divert the violent spiritual energy."

Under Qin Quan's extremely precise guidance of spiritual energy and divine sense, the originally rampaging and destructive true energy was finally gradually calmed and broken down.

Streams of pure energy flowed along the newly formed cultivation meridians, slowly filling hundreds of acupoints throughout the body, gradually resolving the fatal crisis that threatened to cause the body to explode.

The feeling of tightness and expansion gradually subsided, replaced by a sense of lightness and comfort throughout the body, with clear and unobstructed meridians.

Jiang Yao exhaled a long breath, her mind gradually calming down.

"Finally, I don't feel so bad anymore!"

"Calm your mind, circulate your energy according to the cultivation path I taught you, then slowly gather your spiritual energy and channel it into your dantian, thus breaking through to the next realm!"

Qin Quan solemnly gave his instructions.

"good!"

Jiang Yao calmed her mind, cleared her mind of distractions, and focused on circulating her internal energy.

Zhang Qingshun and Lin Wanrou stood on either side, protecting the two.

Even Miao Cuihua, who was ready to run away at any moment, gathered around, her eyes full of curiosity.

She couldn't understand why a mere Gu worm could defy fate and allow a mortal body to break through its limitations;

They couldn't understand Qin Quan's method of attack, which was able to avert the explosion crisis and help Jiang Yao rebuild her cultivation foundation.

She tried to understand the intricacies of it, but found it to be incredibly mysterious and impossible to comprehend.

Time passed slowly, and the spiritual energy in the tomb surged wildly into Jiang Yao's acupoints.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

The shackles are broken, the barriers are crumbling!

Jiang Yao's aura rose steadily, and her originally powerful martial arts true energy was completely transformed and purified, turning into a more refined and ethereal immortal cultivation spiritual energy.

boom!

A powerful shockwave suddenly exploded out, sweeping across the entire underground palace.

Late stage of Qi Refining!

Jiang Yao successfully broke through the barrier.

This is the Martial King realm that martial artists dream of.

Jiang Yao slowly opened her eyes, her gaze subtly sharp, her aura steady and profound. Unable to conceal her overwhelming joy, she shouted:

"I've broken through! I've finally entered the Martial King realm!"

In less than a month, she broke through the barrier from the eighth-grade Grandmaster to the Martial King. Such a cultivation speed is heaven-defying and unprecedented.

Upon closer examination, however, she developed several more doubts.

"No, the true energy in my body is purer than before, completely different from the true energy of ordinary Martial Kings."

"Your martial arts true energy has transformed into immortal cultivation spiritual energy."

Qin Quan explained calmly, "You are no longer a martial artist, but a genuine cultivator. Your cultivation level may seem equivalent to that of a Martial King, but in reality, you are at the late stage of the orthodox Qi Refining realm."

"real?"

Jiang Yao suddenly realized, and the joy in her eyes deepened.

"Does that mean my current cultivation level is on par with Wanrou's?"

"That's right."

Upon receiving Qin Quan's accurate answer, Jiang Yao's long-suppressed resentment and regret completely dissipated.

So what if you were born with a mortal body?

By chance, defying fate, she finally caught up with the people with special physical characteristics.

"Opportunity knocks, time to wrap things up."

Qin Quan composed himself and signaled to everyone to continue searching the ancient tomb.

"Everyone, search carefully again, and make sure you don't miss any treasures."

The group responded in unison, carefully searched the entire main tomb chamber and the bronze coffin, and after confirming that there were no more cultivation resources or secret treasures left, they returned along the original path of the tomb passage and left the Misty Ghost Forest.

……

The following day at noon, Jincheng.

The group returned safely.

The greatest opportunities of this trip fell on Qin Quan and Jiang Yao. Although the others did not receive any direct benefits, Qin Quan did not treat them unfairly.

He specially requested over a hundred kilograms of snake meat and snake skin from the Hidden Dragon headquarters, and gave them to Zhang Qingshun and Miao Cuihua respectively.

"Mr. Qin, this is far too generous of you. I am unworthy of such an honor."

Zhang Qingshun looked shy and repeatedly declined.

"Don't mention it, you deserve it."

Qin Quan was at ease and developed a good impression of the old Taoist priest.

Zhang Qingshun stopped being polite and gladly accepted all the resources.

Before leaving, Qin Quan gave him an extra Martial Arts Pill.

"I hope you break through to the Martial King realm soon, so we can fight side by side again."

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Qin. I have no way to repay you. I will serve you again after I break through to the Martial King realm."

With snake meat to temper his body and elixirs to aid him, breaking through to the Martial King realm is just around the corner.

Not long after, Zhang Qingshun and Miao Cuihua left the Lin family.

At Yunding Villa, only Qin Quan and a few others remained.

Seeing Jiang Yao successfully break through to the next level and Zhang Qingshun return with a full harvest, while she herself returned empty-handed, Lin Wanrou felt a strong sense of jealousy and glared at Qin Quan in a huff.

"You're so biased! Everyone gets the benefits, but I get nothing?"

Qin Quan smiled helplessly and poured all the vein stones and chalcedony stones he had collected on the trip onto the table.

The stone is lustrous and exudes a spiritual aura.

"Isn't this enough?"

He looked at Lin Wanrou and said, "These two are the core materials for artificial spirit stones. As long as the White Eagle Alliance finds the Spirit Gathering Grass, we can seize it. This batch of materials is enough to refine hundreds of artificial spirit stones, and we will benefit from it endlessly."

Lin Wanrou shook her head, her eyes burning, and moved closer step by step, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness and determination.

"I don't want the spirit stones."

"I want to cultivate with you."

"What?"

Qin Quan blushed and unconsciously looked around.

Luckily, there were no members of the Lin family around, otherwise it would have been incredibly embarrassing.

"I want to cultivate with you!"

Lin Wanrou said solemnly, appearing extremely serious.

A month ago, she would never have said such a thing; her world consisted only of cold data and tedious scientific research.

Dating and marriage are things she can only consider after she turns thirty.

However, ever since her one-night stand with Qin Quan, the gears of fate have begun to turn.

In addition, having witnessed Qin Quan's overwhelming domineering presence and experienced the freedom and confidence brought by extraordinary power, she had long lost interest in worldly scientific research.

Qin Quan was somewhat at a loss for words under her affectionate gaze.

I was thinking: I'm talking to you about serious things, but all you can think about is sleeping with me.
