In the following period, Wang Yi did not target Qin Hanchu again.
Even so, Qin Hanchu did not relax his vigilance.
Half a year later, he brought Xue Ying to the back of the mountain valley.
This area was relatively secluded and rarely visited by anyone.
Summoning Xue Ying, Qin Hanchu said, "I will lend you the Ice Spirit Jade. I hope you can use its power to break through."
"Thank you, Master."
Xue Ying had already known about the Ice Spirit Jade.
Although the Ice Spirit Jade could be reused, it had not expected Qin Hanchu to lend it to it for use.
After all, Qin Hanchu's realm was also at the peak of a War God. He could have used it to break through himself first.
"Your chance of breaking through is greater than mine. If you become stronger, I will also be safer."
"Remember, do not exhaust the power of the Ice Spirit Jade. Leave at least one-tenth of it!"
After reminding Xue Ying a few times, Qin Hanchu took out the Ice Spirit Jade and let Xue Ying absorb it.
In the following period, Xue Ying went into seclusion to cultivate on the back of the mountain valley.
Time flew by, and half a month passed.
A week ago, Xue Ying had already successfully broken through.
The recent period was just for consolidating the realm.
Seven months had passed since the sect mission.
During these seven months, Qin Hanchu had already cultivated the Phantom Ice Mirror to a state of proficiency.
Although his realm had not improved, his foundation had become even more solid.
Recalling Xue Ying into the beast ring, Qin Hanchu continued to cultivate here.
His purpose for joining the Twin Pole Sect was to comprehend the mysteries of this place.
The valley was located between two mountain peaks, making it an excellent spot for contemplation.
Time flew by again, and another month passed.
Unfortunately, Qin Hanchu did not make much progress.
The food he had brought had long been eaten. Although Qin Hanchu could survive without eating, the feeling of hunger was still unpleasant.
This day, Qin Hanchu caught a wild boar on the back of the mountain.
He had not eaten roasted meat since leaving Blue Star.
Since there was a wild boar, he could naturally roast it.
Going to the valley's kitchen to get some ingredients, Qin Hanchu then returned to the back of the mountain valley.
After cleaning the bull-sized wild boar, Qin Hanchu placed it on the fire to roast.
To avoid attracting attention, Qin Hanchu also condensed an ice shield to block the smoke.
Honey, cumin...
As the ingredients were added, the roasted pig exuded an enticing aroma.
Taking out a dagger, Qin Hanchu cut off a roasted pig leg.
Sprinkling chili powder on it, Qin Hanchu was about to eat.
Just then, a voice came from afar, "Is it ready? Then I'll come over?"
Qin Hanchu recognized the voice as Hong Luan's.
As expected, Hong Luan quickly ran over from the woods.
"Why are you here?" Qin Hanchu asked, puzzled.
"I followed you from the kitchen."
"But I've been hiding in the distance, just waiting for you to start eating."
Hong Luan looked at the roasted pig leg in Qin Hanchu's hand and said, "It looks delicious."
Qin Hanchu dejectedly handed the roasted pig leg to Hong Luan. She happily took it and said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite."
After saying that, Hong Luan took a bite.
"Wow, it's so delicious."
Although there was roasted meat in this world, their method was different from Blue Star's.
Here, there were many better seasonings.
Cumin and honey were not even considered by them.
Qin Hanchu cut off another pig leg, then sprinkled seasonings on it and began to eat.
"I didn't expect you to have this skill." Hong Luan ate heartily, not caring about her appearance.
"That's because it's your first time trying it," Qin Hanchu replied.
Hong Luan nodded, eating with relish.
As the two were eating and chatting, Chen Longhe actually walked over.
"Why is this guy here?" Hong Luan said dejectedly upon seeing Chen Longhe.
Qin Hanchu took a bite of the meat and smiled, "Mad bees and butterflies naturally find flowers that emit fragrance."
"Junior Sister, what are you two doing?" Chen Longhe said, sweeping Qin Hanchu with a cold gaze.
Qin Hanchu was extremely depressed. He just wanted to cultivate in peace, why were there always troubles?
"What do you mean by that look just now?"
"Is it not okay for Han Chu and me to eat roasted meat here?"
"If you dare to target Qin Hanchu, don't blame me for falling out with you."
Chen Longhe's gaze was not hidden, so Hong Luan knew what Chen Longhe was thinking. She reprimanded him without mercy.
Faced with Hong Luan's reprimand, Chen Longhe immediately cowered.
Qin Hanchu couldn't help but chuckle. This guy was a typical simp, wasn't he?
As long as Hong Luan could keep Chen Longhe in check, that would be good.
Qin Hanchu did not want anyone else to disturb his quiet cultivation.
Before his strength improved, it was better to develop covertly.
"What's so good about roasted meat?" Chen Longhe said dismissively.
"I find it delicious, and you don't. This shows that we don't get along," Hong Luan said.
Hearing this, Chen Longhe directly cut a pig leg for himself and took a bite.
Chen Longhe's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "Hmm, this tastes really good."
"Don't force yourself, there's no need," Hong Luan said.
"It's really delicious," Chen Longhe said with a smile. "Our tastes are still the same."
Qin Hanchu did not speak; he continued to eat his roasted pork leg.
Hong Luan did not want to talk to Chen Longhe, so she said to Qin Hanchu, "Are you participating in the Crimson Mountain Range trial in a while?"
Qin Hanchu frowned, "What are the benefits?"
"There is a special medicinal herb in the Crimson Mountain Range called the Blood Moon Spirit Flower."
Upon hearing the name, Qin Hanchu's expression changed in surprise, "The Blood Moon Spirit Flower that can awaken a spirit beast's bloodline?"
Qin Hanchu had seen the introduction of this medicinal herb in books.
This herb could give spirit beasts a chance to revert to their ancestors and awaken their bloodlines.
If Qin Hanchu obtained the Blood Moon Spirit Flower, he would have a chance to help Xue Ying awaken her ancestral bloodline.
All spirit beasts were descendants of ancient exotic beasts.
It was just that most spirit beasts had a very thin bloodline.
"Yes."
"The Crimson Mountain Range is located between the three sects, so the competition is very fierce."
"Besides spirit beasts, disciples from the other two sects will also participate in the competition."
"Of course, there are quite a few Blood Moon Spirit Flowers, so there is still a good chance."
"If you want to participate, we can go together."
Hong Luan said.
"Junior Sister, I'll go with you too," Chen Longhe quickly said.
Hong Luan ignored Chen Longhe and asked Qin Hanchu, "How about it?"
Qin Hanchu nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Seeing Qin Hanchu agree, Hong Luan was very happy. "Since that's the case, I'll help you register. We'll act together then, and it will be safer."
"Are there any Spirit King realm experts participating?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"There won't be any Spirit King realm cultivators, but there will be Spirit realm spirit beasts."
"But don't worry, the experts from the three major sects will handle those Spirit realm spirit beasts."
Upon receiving Hong Luan's reply, Qin Hanchu nodded to show he understood.
It was necessary to go to the Crimson Mountain Range.
