I Have A Qi Fortune Altar.
Chapter 263 - 263 244 Overwhelming Qi Spills Over_2

Chapter 263: Chapter 244: Overwhelming Qi Spills Over!_2 Chapter 263: Chapter 244: Overwhelming Qi Spills Over!_2 And in Chen Yuan’s view, Great Jin’s grip on the situation was clearly slipping, a sure sign of impending chaos. Countless people harbored great ambitions.

But this could not be blamed on others, after all, Great Jin’s rise to power was marred with inconsistency, having dispersed too much interest during its founding in exchange for the support of major Jianghu sects.

The appetites of Jianghu people are never satisfied!

“Chen Yuan seizing the Dragon Vein Energy might be to make a breakthrough to the Reach Profound Realm,” Xu Lingtian shared his speculation with Xu Yongnian on the road, causing the latter’s expression to change slightly:

“It must be so. Our time is limited; we must plan well with Tang Qian and act quickly. Otherwise, once Chen Yuan makes the breakthrough, even if we can kill him, it will be too late.”

Their real goal was still to take back the Dragon Vein Energy, but if Chen Yuan successfully made the breakthrough, the Dragon Vein Energy would be depleted.

Xu Lingtian snorted coldly, not willing to think in that direction.

“Hmph, breaking through to Reach Profound Realm isn’t that easy.”

When he himself made the breakthrough, it had taken him over half a month from preparation to success; only a few days had passed now, and he… felt Chen Yuan definitely could not have made the breakthrough.

But Xu Yongnian did not agree with this statement, whispering:

“There is no absolute in everything, this lad isn’t so simple!”

…

…

“My lord, you have piercing insight, I am thoroughly convinced!”

When Tao Qingyuan opened his mouth to inquire, Chen Yuan no longer had any intention to hide. Even if Tao Qingyuan didn’t ask, he was prepared to be somewhat forthcoming.

Xu Lingtian and Xu Yongnian did not want to give Chen Yuan too much time, realizing the urgency of timing. Likewise, Chen Yuan thought the same.

Tao Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, not expecting Chen Yuan to admit it so frankly, leaving him not quite sure what to say. After a moment of silence, he asked:

“Your purpose?”

He did not blame Chen Yuan for stirring up trouble, perhaps this was a sense of camaraderie. He even secretly agreed with Chen Yuan’s actions.

Because of previous grudges, he had long wanted to take action against the Dragon Tiger Sect, but due to various reasons, he had been holding back. Now, Chen Yuan had taken action on his behalf.

Chen Yuan turned to sit down, and said solemnly:

“Recently, I have had some minor fortunes. My cultivation has progressed remarkably fast, and I wish to break through to the Reach Profound Realm.”

Now that there was no need to hide anything, and before making a move, he needed to give Tao Qingyuan some confidence. Having one more Reach Profound Martial Artist would put Tao Qingyuan’s mind at ease.

“Oh?”

This statement aroused a whirl of thoughts in Tao Qingyuan—what did he mean by minor fortunes? What did he mean by remarkable progress, as if his cultivation hadn’t been progressing rapidly before?

But what did this have to do with the Dragon Tiger Sect?

Could it be…

A glint of understanding flashed in Tao Qingyuan’s eyes as if he had realized something, his gaze intense as he looked at Chen Yuan, waiting for him to continue.

“I have received some insider information that there is a Spiritual Object within the Dragon Tiger Sect that can greatly increase the chances for a martial artist’s Gang Qi to convert into True Yuan. Plus, the Dragon Tiger Sect has always colluded with the Azure Flood Dragon Association, planning to take action against me in the dark,

so I took the initiative to cause a big ruckus at the Dragon Tiger Sect first!”

Chen Yuan stood tall and spoke indifferently, as if he had only done an insignificant small deed.

If outsiders were to hear this, who knows what they would think.

That statement revealed a lot of important information; Tao Qingyuan immediately asked:

“The Azure Flood Dragon Association and the Dragon Tiger Sect wanted to make a move against you?”

Chen Yuan nodded gravely:

“The reliability of this matter is very high. Ever since I killed Lin Beihan, that Tang Qian has harbored the intent to kill me and has made several attempts on my life…”

Afterward, he simply laid out some true and false information.

“Alone, I might be able to protect myself from Tang Qian, but if the Dragon Tiger Sect gets involved… Therefore, I must defend myself. Did they think it would be that easy to kill me?”

“Thud, thud, thud,”

Tao Qingyuan’s fingers rhythmically tapped the desk, his face gradually darkening. To be honest, even if Chen Yuan had not reacted so strongly today,

he would have turned hostile!

Having learned of Xu Yongnian and his partner’s intentions, he had already felt displeased, thinking what the Dragon Tiger Sect counts for, daring to show up at his door,

especially when they directly targeted Chen Yuan, whom he valued highly.

Now in Nanling Prefecture, who didn’t know that Chen Yuan was his man?

Did the Dragon Tiger Sect think to act against Chen Yuan without consulting him?

Even if Chen Yuan truly was the one who caused trouble at the Dragon Tiger Sect, Tao Qingyuan would still protect him.

“Have you used that Spiritual Object you got from the Dragon Tiger Sect?” Tao Qingyuan then asked:

“Even if it helps with the breakthrough, don’t be in a hurry. The breakthrough to the Reach Profound Realm isn’t as simple as the Gang Condensation. Converting to True Yuan is of utmost importance; you must be careful and cautious.”

“Moreover, considering your age, the breakthrough would also…”

“I used it!”

Chen Yuan replied with a decisive tone.

“You… used it?” Tao Qingyuan paused, his intended words coming to a halt.

“This humble one was eager to break through and had used it on the very night I obtained the Spiritual Objects.”

“How was the effect?”

He asked with concern.

“Not bad. This humble one…” Chen Yuan hesitated.

“You… broke through to the Reach Profound?”

Tao Qingyuan pointed at Chen Yuan, his voice trembling slightly as if he couldn’t believe it.

“Hmm.”

Chen Yuan smiled and nodded.

Tao Qingyuan: “…..”

For a moment, Tao Qingyuan didn’t know what to say, his gaze towards Chen Yuan lingering with a trace of paralysis, his heart filled with inexplicable astonishment.

He’s broken through?

He has indeed broken through!

Since when was breaking through to the Reach Profound Realm so easy?

When he himself had broken through, he had been extremely cautious and the process had been fraught with danger, expending a great deal of effort to successfully convert Gang Qi into Innate True Essence.

He had nearly failed and damaged his foundation in the process.

After all, the Reach Profound Realm is a significant hurdle in Martial Arts, nearly ten times harder to surpass than the Gang Condensation Realm. It requires not only a certain level of Gang Qi but also the body, temperament, and experience to be up to standard.

During the process of absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy, there was also considerable pain.

Bathing the physical body with True Yuan and establishing a connection between True Yuan and Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy to form Innate True Essence was by no means a simple process, yet Chen Yuan did it so casually…

Is the gap between people really that big?

He knew Chen Yuan was extraordinarily talented, but this was still hard for him to believe.

Even a hint of frustration, almost imperceptible, arose within him, but it quickly dissipated, turning into a wave of surprise. Yes, Chen Yuan had broken through!

With such talent, his future prospects were immeasurable. Tao Qingyuan realized he had underestimated him; perhaps even his own future prospects might depend on Chen Yuan.

Suppressing various emotions in his heart, Tao Qingyuan continued to maintain a calm demeanor, not letting Chen Yuan detect anything unusual, not wanting his subordinate to think he lacked composure.

Watching Tao Qingyuan’s expression, Chen Yuan smiled, and with a flicker of his spirit, a formidable aura burst forth from him instantly, as the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy around him began to converge slowly…

“This…”

Tao Qingyuan was shocked once again by the aura Chen Yuan released.

Just from the released aura, it was evident that Chen Yuan’s strength was definitely not that of a mere beginner in the Reach Profound Realm. No wonder he was able to effortlessly block Xu Lingtian’s momentum.

He was not the least bit weaker than him.

Is this the talent of the Hidden Dragon List?

Tao Qingyuan felt that at this rate, it would only be a matter of time before Chen Yuan surpassed him. Such a prodigy was truly wasted in Nanling Prefecture.

Taking a deep breath, Tao Qingyuan spoke softly,

“Tell me about the process of your breakthrough.”

Chen Yuan took on a serious expression, aware that Tao Qingyuan wished to offer him guidance. He then meticulously recounted the process of his breakthrough, but of course, he concealed the part about the Dragon Vein Energy,

saying only that it was due to that Spiritual Object at the Dragon Tiger Sect that it went so smoothly.

After listening, Tao Qingyuan nodded silently and offered two words of appraisal:

“Not bad.”

Yes, that was all the feedback he gave because he didn’t feel anything was missing from Chen Yuan’s description of the breakthrough; it seemed perfect. Now, all Chen Yuan lacked was some experience.

Demon Sword Chen Yuan…

Truly demon-like!

After a while, Tao Qingyuan looked directly into Chen Yuan’s eyes and asked,

“Now that you have broken through, what do you want to do?”
