Tianxuan Continent, Eastern Region, Fire Wind City.
A figure appearing on the streets of Fire Wind City attracted the gaze of everyone nearby.
“It’s Qin Xuan! He’s actually not dead!”
“Three years ago, he entered the Tian Tomb to save his fiancée.”
“The Tian Tomb, that’s where legends say the heavens were buried. Spiritual Qi is isolated there, and it’s a place of certain death. For so many years, countless people have entered the Tian Tomb hoping to find an Opportunity, but none have ever returned alive.”
“But now Qin Xuan has actually come out alive. It’s just, how did all his Cultivation disappear?”
“Three years ago, he was known as the number one Genius in Fire Wind City. If he has no Cultivation, isn’t he just a cripple…?”
......
Listening to the discussions around him, Qin Xuan let out a long breath!
Three years? Three hundred years!
How did he spend these three hundred years?
He was completely drained for three hundred years!
Xuanji Empress was deeply poisoned. She drained him in the Taihuang Space for a full three hundred years before her spring poison was finally suppressed.
Each time, the Empress would throw him into the Taihuang Space, using the time difference, and then bring him out after he recovered in the Taihuang Space.
If the Empress hadn’t taught him how to perform Alchemy and allowed him to replenish himself with various Heaven And Earth Treasure, he would have been sucked dry long ago.
But even so, he lived a miserable life for these three hundred years.
The Tian Tomb isolated Spiritual Qi, so he couldn't Cultivate, which meant he had no Cultivation for these three hundred years.
However, with the Empress’s guidance, he made great progress in Alchemy, Formation, Talisman, and beast taming.
Xuanji Empress came from the Upper Realm, so her Cultivation and knowledge naturally far surpassed those of the Lower Realm.
After three hundred years of both replenishment and draining, Xuanji Empress finally sent him out of the Tian Tomb, and he was finally free.
However, remembering Xuanji Empress’s words when she left, Qin Xuan couldn’t help but feel his legs go weak.
“Qin Xuan, I will leave the Tian Tomb to find you in one year. By then, your Cultivation must reach the Yuqing Realm, only then can our union completely resolve the poison I am afflicted with!”
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan shook his head like a rattle-drum.
No, he must raise his Cultivation to the Yuqing Realm within one year!
On the Tianxuan Continent, Cultivation Ranks are divided into: Qi Refining Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, Rookie Realm, Profound Earth Realm, Tianxuan Realm, Yuqing Realm, Shangqing Realm, Taiqing Realm, Tianyuan Realm, Sheng Yuan Realm, Death Yuan Realm, Yin and Yang Realm, and Samsara Realm, totaling thirteen major Realms.
Each major Realm is further divided into nine minor Realms.
Normally, it would be absolutely impossible for him to reach the Yuqing Realm in one year.
However…
Lowering his head to look at the jade pendant on his chest, Qin Xuan smiled slightly.
Before leaving, Xuanji Empress gave him the Refining God Cauldron and also transmitted a message to him.
“Inside are the Martial Skill and Cultivation experiences I once Cultivated in the Upper Realm. Although they are nothing special in the Upper Realm, they will be of great benefit to you in improving your strength.”
“With these, I believe you should have no problem entering the Yuqing Realm within one year.”
“If you can’t achieve that, then prepare to be sucked dry by me!”
Xuanji Empress threatened Qin Xuan in this way before she left.
Wiping away his cold sweat, Qin Xuan was about to rush home.
Just then, a woman appeared before his eyes.
The woman had a graceful figure and beautiful features.
Looking at the woman, Qin Xuan’s expression tightened slightly, and then he strode towards her.
“I can’t believe it, after three years, Qin Xuan still goes to Liu Yiyi first thing after returning. He’s truly devoted, but…”
“If he wasn’t devoted, he wouldn’t have risked his life to enter the Tian Tomb. But this devotion, I’m afraid it won’t lead to a good outcome.”
The surrounding onlookers suddenly stirred, discussing animatedly.
Qin Xuan ignored the discussions around him and walked directly towards Liu Yiyi.
“Qin Xuan, you, weren’t you supposed to have died in the Tian Tomb? How did you come back alive?”
Seeing Qin Xuan alive before her, Liu Yiyi was so nervous she became incoherent.
“Yiyi, your illness is cured?”
Looking at the lively Liu Yiyi, Qin Xuan frowned slightly.
Back then, it was because Liu Yiyi was gravely ill that he constantly searched for various precious Spiritual Plants. He finally risked searching for Spiritual Plant near the Tian Tomb, only to be ambushed, have his Dantian shattered, and be thrown into the Tian Tomb.
But now, Liu Yiyi’s illness is actually cured?
What’s going on?
Didn’t they say Liu Yiyi wouldn’t get better without those specific Medicinal Pill?
Looking at Qin Xuan, Liu Yiyi was flustered for a moment, but seeing that Qin Xuan had lost all his Cultivation, she relaxed.
“Yes, after taking the Medicinal Pill and Spiritual Plant you prepared for me before entering the Tian Tomb, my illness is cured.”
“I didn’t expect you to come out of the Tian Tomb alive. But since you’re alive, just stay put from now on and don’t cause trouble like before.”
Actually, Liu Yiyi’s illness was almost cured before she got sick, but in order to get more valuable Medicinal Pill and Spiritual Plant, she kept pretending to be sick.
After Qin Xuan disappeared into the Tian Tomb and she couldn't get more Medicinal Pill and various precious Spiritual Plant, her illness cured itself without medicine.
Liu Yiyi said indifferently, a hint of disdain in her eyes.
“You have no Cultivation now, you’re no longer worthy of me. From now on, there will be no more connection between us.”
Hearing Liu Yiyi’s words, a cold glint flashed in Qin Xuan’s eyes.
Three years ago, when he still had Cultivation, Liu Yiyi would call him Brother Qin Xuan.
He risked his life to enter the Tian Tomb for her, only to end up like this.
“Why?”
Qin Xuan clenched his fists, coldly questioning the other party.
“Why? I am now a Cultivator of Qi Refining Rank nine, about to step into Foundation Establishment, while you, Qin Xuan, are just a cripple now. A cripple actually wants to marry me, Liu Yiyi?”
Liu Yiyi was arrogant and completely dismissive of Qin Xuan.
A cripple was not worth another glance from her.
“Yiyi, to cure your illness, I risked my life to enter the Tian Tomb, and this is how you treat me!”
Qin Xuan felt a surge of anger in his heart.
He never expected to encounter such a thing the moment he left the Tian Tomb.
“Isn’t it just a few Medicinal Pill? What, you want to win back Young Miss with those few Medicinal Pill? Let me tell you, Young Lord Zhao Longteng has plenty of those Medicinal Pill, as many as he wants!”
“I’ll tell you the truth, Young Lord Zhao Longteng of the Zhao Family, one of the Four Great Families of Xuanlong City, has taken a liking to my Young Miss and will be coming to Fire Wind City soon.”
The Great Qian Dynasty is divided into Nine Dao, and Fire Wind City belongs to the Profound Dragon Dao.
And Xuanlong City is the capital of the entire Profound Dragon Dao, the true center of the Profound Dragon Dao, much larger than a small city like Fire Wind City.
Hearing the maid say this, Liu Yiyi also nodded.
“Qin Xuan, I will go to your Family to break off the engagement in a few days. Don’t come looking for me anymore, I’m afraid Young Lord Longteng will misunderstand!”
Hearing these words, the crowd watching from afar immediately erupted in a clamor, a cacophony of voices.
“I’ve truly lived long enough, my eyes have been opened today. I’ve actually seen such a heartless and ungrateful person.”
“Exactly. If I remember correctly, Qin Xuan entered the Tian Tomb back then to cure her illness, right?”
But who would have thought that three years later, Liu Yiyi, whose illness was cured, would choose to betray him.
“Not just that, in these years, the Liu Family has grown from an obscure Family to a second-rate Family in Fire Wind City by literally sucking the Qin Family’s blood.”
“Plus, over the years, Young Master Qin Xuan has given Liu Yiyi a lot of Medicinal Pill and Spirit Stone.”
“Hehe, once the illness is cured, she turns around, climbs up a high branch, and kicks her former partner aside. What a clever move!”
The discussions of the crowd drifted over, but Liu Yiyi didn’t care at all, just sneered.
They were just a bunch of useless people who complained that the grapes were sour because they couldn't reach them.
In this world, strength was everything.
When she soared like a Phoenix among the Nine Heavens in the future, these people would come back to grovel before her!
“Good, very good!”
His clenched fists loosened, and the enraged Qin Xuan instead calmed down.
“Alright, since you want to break off the engagement, I’ll grant your wish. In three days, I will personally go to your Liu Family to break off the engagement.”
