Chapter 123 Coming Out of the Pond
Ling Fan saw the situation and couldn't help but feel a touch of sympathy. He hadn't realized that this young girl had not only lost her grandmother but was also orphaned.
"Do you have any other family members?" Ling Fan suddenly asked.
Qiao Yuchan shook her head, her face turning pale, "It's just me. I just inherited the position of Family Head this year, and no one knows about the decline in my cultivation. Otherwise, the Qiao Family would be in danger!"
Ling Fan fell silent. Whether it was because he was responsible for destroying the Earth's Milk or out of respect for the old man, he had no reason to stand by and do nothing.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Ling Fan spoke up.
Qiao Yuchan suddenly looked up, a hint of anticipation in her voice, "Is there any way you can help me recover my cultivation and heal the hidden injuries within a short time?
Is that the only way I can... If that's the case, I...."
As Qiao Yuchan spoke, her voice grew softer, and she blushed to the tips of her ears.
She really was desperate, without a single solution. Now that she had met Ling Fan, she clung to him as if he were her last lifeline.
Ling Fan coughed dryly and unconsciously glanced over Qiao Yuchan's beautiful figure.
"The union of man and woman is not the only way to achieve Yin Yang Harmony. I have other methods that can help you. At the earliest, it will take half a month, or else, a little more than a month to heal you," Ling Fan said.
"Really? You're not lying to me?" Qiao Yuchan trembled slightly, her face lighting up with joy.
"Of course. If you don't mind, we can start getting familiar with each other now. Later, I'll go back to the Qiao Family with you, and once you're healed, I'll be on my way!" Ling Fan said with a smile.
Qiao Yuchan was overjoyed, "What do we do?"
"The cultivation technique I practice is quite special and can assist you. I will transfer the Primordial Yang Power from within me to you, and you will run your technique to harmonize it with the Yin Qi within you. Doing so in this Milk Pool will yield even better results!" Ling Fan explained.
After speaking, he immediately went back into the Milk Pool.
Seeing this, Qiao Yuchan blushed, never having been so candidly close with a man before in her life.
Previously, Ling Fan was unconscious, and she didn't think much of it, but now both were awake.
After hesitating for a moment and seeing Ling Fan looking down with his eyes closed, not looking at her, she steeled her heart, and with a rustling sound, she quickly entered the Milk Pool as well.
"Come opposite me, raise your arms, and place your palms against mine. I will transfer the Primordial Yang Power to you!" Ling Fan said, his gaze focused inward.
Qiao Yuchan pursed her lips and nervously moved closer to Ling Fan, but seeing that his eyes were closed and he wasn't looking at her, she silently breathed a sigh of relief, thinking him to be a gentleman.
She quickly did as Ling Fan instructed. As their palms met, she immediately felt the Primordial Yang Power passing from Ling Fan's hands.
It was like a warm current flowing through her limbs, immensely soothing, her delicate body trembling lightly, her mind wavering!
"Keep your mind steady, calm your heart, be careful not to let the fire go out of control, and merge the Primordial Yang Power I have transferred to you!" As Qiao Yuchan's thoughts became chaotic, Ling Fan's warning suddenly sounded in her ears.
She dared not delay and quickly closed her eyes, pushed aside all distractions, and silently circulated the Jade Maiden Technique.
...
Outside the Secluded Forest Dragon Pool.
The disciples of the three families stood aside in an orderly manner, not daring to move rashly, feeling as though time was moving extremely slowly.
He Feiman and the maid Cui He, covered in bloodstains, were beaten so badly by Ma Aolei that it was unbearable to watch. Now, the two of them lay on the ground, finding it difficult to even move.
"Xiuqi, it's been a whole night. That kid must have run off, right?" Ma Aolei said, looking at the rising sun with a stern face.
Yuan Xiuqi glanced at the two on the ground, battered by Ma Aolei, and said indifferently, "Let's wait another hour. If he still doesn't show up, you can deal with these two however you see fit."
Ma Aolei answered with a sneer, "Later, I'll offer them to these disciples, let them taste what a He Family girl is like. I heard that the He Family women practice a very special technique!"
On hearing this, Yuan Xiuqi let out a strange laugh, "How does it compare to your skills?"
Ma Aolei glanced sideways at Yuan Xiuqi and said irritably, "That's just a side effect of her cultivation technique. How can it compare to my dedicated practice? Recently, my martial arts have advanced further. Do you want to try it?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiuqi felt a flame rise in his lower abdomen. If it weren't for the inconvenience of the crowded place, he would have wished to punish her right then and there!
Inside the Earth's Milk Grotto, Ling Fan had changed his clothes and glanced at Qiao Yuchan, who was still harmonizing her breath and integrating.
He felt frustrated, "This really is a tedious task, but thankfully I possess extraordinary willpower!"
Soon, Qiao Yuchan also slowly ended her practice, feeling joy in her heart as she sensed the recovery of her injuries and the surging yin qi being suppressed within her body.
"Come on up. We should leave now," said Ling Fan as he turned away, speaking indifferently.
Seeing Ling Fan turn his back, Qiao Yuchan thought resentfully, "You've already seen everything you want, putting on airs now!"
Immediately, her cheeks flushed with shyness, and she quickly got out of the Milk Pool and changed.
"Are you coming back with me to the Qiao Family now?" Qiao Yuchan asked timidly.
"A friend is waiting for me outside. I have some matters to take care of, but it won't take too long," Ling Fan said.
He had considered asking Qiao Yuchan to help resolve the matter with the He Family but dismissed the thought upon reflection. Qiao Yuchan's own condition was not good. Experience new stories on empire
If she took action, it would surely attract the attention of the other Heavenly Vein Families. He didn't want to complicate matters by stirring up more trouble.
He evaluated his own strength. Having absorbed the essence of the Earth's Milk, his True Essence Cultivation had entered the late stages of the Grandmaster Realm. His bodily strength was now close to that of a Sixth Grade Martial Saint.
With just his physical strength alone, he could exert the power of Sixty Elephants, and now his cultivation was able to bring out the Fifth Layer of the Holy Martial Nine Forms.
With this power, he could wield close to the strength of 300,000 jin. As long as he didn't encounter a Grandmaster Realm expert like Qiao Yuchan who had gained Enlightenment of Special Divine Skills, he feared nothing.
"By the way, how many Grandmaster Realm experts like you, who have gained Enlightenment of special Divine Skills, are there on Zhongnan Mountain?" Ling Fan suddenly asked. Know yourself, know your enemy, a hundred battles, a hundred wins!
"How many? Psh, do you think everyone is as heaven-defying as me? Do you take the honor of Zhongnan's once-a-millennium Goddess so lightly?
There are very few Grandmaster Realm experts who can gain Enlightenment of Divine Skills. Even if they do, they are just ordinary strength and defense-type false Divine Skills. To manipulate the elemental power of heaven and earth, one must at least reach the Realm of a Sixth Grade Martial Saint, and talent is a key factor!" Qiao Yuchan glanced at Ling Fan and spoke.
"Is it that difficult?" Ling Fan scratched his head.
This guy himself possesses a secret treasure of inheritance. How could he understand the struggles of ordinary martial artists!
"By the way, if you have any troubles, I can help you!" Qiao Yuchan suddenly said.
"Hmm, not necessary for now. I should be able to solve it myself. With your current condition, it's best not to engage in fights!" Ling Fan advised.
"Got it!" Qiao Yuchan nodded.
"Let's go," Ling Fan then took the lead, jumping into the pool and following the path they came through, with Qiao Yuchan close behind.
In the center of the calm surface of the Secluded Forest Dragon Pool.
"Splash!"
Two heads popped up, one male and one female—it was Ling Fan and Qiao Yuchan.
The two surveyed the area through the swirling mist and, seeing no one around, swiftly leapt onto the shore.
Reaching the side of the pool, Qiao Yuchan took a veil and covered her face. Although many in Zhongnan were aware of her reputation, she seldom showed her true face.
The two of them used their cultivation to quickly dry their wet clothing. With her veil properly placed, Qiao Yuchan said, "Let's go."
Ling Fan nodded, and together they walked out of the dense forest!
