Chapter 212: Chapter 213: Han Yueli’s Engagement (Request for Collection, Reward, and Recommendation)

"Phew."

After another hour, Chu Fengmian’s solemn expression finally relaxed.

All the cold poison in Han Yueli’s body had finally been completely expelled.

At the same time, the medicinal power of the ten-thousand-year fire lotus had merged entirely into Han Yueli’s body, causing her strength to crazily soar.

Imperial Wind Realm.

Under the medicinal power of the ten-thousand-year fire lotus, Han Yueli’s realm had suddenly stepped into the Imperial Wind Realm.

The remaining less than twenty percent of the Spiritual Power of the ten-thousand-year fire lotus was still sufficient to help Han Yueli step into the Imperial Wind Realm.

"This ten-thousand-year fire lotus, truly deserves its reputation as a mid-grade sacred medicine."

Seeing Han Yueli’s breakthrough, Chu Fengmian couldn’t help but exclaim.

Most of the medicinal power of the ten-thousand-year fire lotus had been used by Chu Fengmian to expel the cold poison in Han Yueli’s body; now, the remaining power, less than twenty percent, was actually enough to help Han Yueli achieve a breakthrough.

The medicinal power of sacred medicine was indeed as legendary, if Han Yueli had refined the entire power of the ten-thousand-year fire lotus, her strength might have reached the pinnacle of the Imperial Wind Realm directly.

Enough to be on par with nobles like Yan Nan and Chu Ning.

However, if the cold poison in Han Yueli’s body hadn’t consumed part of it, she wouldn’t have been able to refine the medicinal power of the ten-thousand-year fire lotus.

It could be said that it was a blessing in disguise; although Han Yueli didn’t gain much from the assessment, with the power of the ten-thousand-year fire lotus, she managed to break through to the Imperial Wind Realm.

This was indeed a considerable benefit.

"The cold poison in my body, it’s really been expelled."

Han Yueli stood up, looking at the cold poison in her body that had now been completely driven out, still somewhat in disbelief.

The terrible cold poison, which was recorded in ancient books, had indeed been resolved by Chu Fengmian.

"I told you I would help you expel the cold poison from your body, and now I have done it."

Chu Fengmian looked at Han Yueli, revealing a confident smile.

It seemed his medical skills had not deteriorated too much and were still sufficient to control sacred medicine.

"Now that your realm has also broken through because of this, it could be considered a blessing in disguise," Chu Fengmian said, smiling.

The breakthrough from Divine Sea Realm to Imperial Wind Realm was also a small threshold, although not as dramatic as breaking through from Imperial Wind Realm to Divine Power Realm.

But it was enough to trap countless martial artists at this step, dooming them.

Now that Han Yueli had entered into the Holy Land, it was not without gains.

"I..."

Han Yueli looked at Chu Fengmian, her eyes revealing extremely complex emotions.

During this time together, every little bit had been observed by Han Yueli; her survival was entirely dependent on Chu Fengmian.

Now, because of Chu Fengmian, she had turned misfortune into a blessing and broken through to the Imperial Wind Realm.

Some things indeed could no longer be hidden.

"Let’s go."

Chu Fengmian, however, noticed the unusual look in Han Yueli’s eyes, but he did not ask; since Han Yueli was not prepared to say anything, Chu Fengmian would not ask proactively.

"Wait..."

Han Yueli looked at Chu Fengmian, sighing before speaking.

"I have something I want to tell you."

"Alright."

Chu Fengmian nodded, understanding that Han Yueli seemed to have always been hiding something.

"Actually, you and I should be considered enemies," Han Yueli said, her eyes shadowed with a hint of gloom.

"Actually, I have a marriage arrangement with Crown Prince Zhi Lingtian."

"According to the agreement, soon after I leave the Holy Land, it will be the day I marry Zhi Lingtian."

"You have a marriage contract with Zhi Lingtian?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Fengmian’s eyes also flashed a trace of anger, as if something beloved had been taken away from him.

He had not expected that Han Yueli and Zhi Lingtian would have such a relationship; no wonder Han Yueli said they could also be considered enemies.

Chu Fengmian and Zhi Lingtian were undoubtedly mortal enemies, and in the future, Chu Fengmian would definitely seek to kill Zhi Lingtian.

Since Han Yueli had a marriage arrangement with Zhi Lingtian, she naturally could also be considered Chu Fengmian’s enemy.

"Yes, our Pavilion Master at Cold Snow Pavilion personally arranged this marriage, and even I can’t resist it," Han Yueli said with a helpless and bitter smile.

So-called first beauty in the Martial Victory Kingdom, the unparalleled genius of Cold Snow Pavilion, but before real powerhouses, she was just someone to be manipulated, unable to resist.

"What? The Pavilion Master of Cold Snow Pavilion personally arranged the marriage?"

Chu Fengmian frowned upon hearing Han Yueli’s words.

"This marriage arrangement is clearly meant to gain favor with Zhi Lingtian. Why would Cold Snow Pavilion need to go to such lengths to attract someone like Zhi Lingtian?" Chu Fengmian’s words carried a hint of incomprehension.

Indeed, Zhi Lingtian, being the top talent in the Martial Victory Kingdom, was very impressive, but for a major sect, a single disciple wasn’t worth wooing to such an extent, especially at the cost of Han Yueli.

You should know that Han Yueli could at least become an Inner Elder of the Cold Snow Pavilion in the future.

To woo Zhi Lingtian at the expense of Han Yueli, did Zhi Lingtian really hold such value?

"A disciple, of course, isn’t worth such effort from Cold Snow Pavilion; although we are not as great as Martial Victory Academy, we are still one of the four major sects," Han Yueli shook her head.

"But a Saint, that’s different."

Saint!

This word made Chu Fengmian’s eyelids twitch.

A Saint was a realm utterly different from the peak of the Riding Wind Realm; a peak Riding Wind Realm martial artist naturally wasn’t worth Cold Snow Pavilion pulling so many strings.

But a Saint was different; for instance, the Martial Victory Academy, which had no more than ten Saints in total, and the four major sects had even fewer.

For Cold Snow Pavilion to have five Saints was already quite impressive.

A Saint was enough to disrupt the balance of power among the major forces; if Zhi Lingtian really could break through to Divine Power and become a Saint,

then Cold Snow Pavilion’s efforts to attract him were not unreasonable.

"Has Zhi Lingtian already become a Saint?"

Chu Fengmian couldn’t help asking.

Breaking through the Riding Wind Realm and becoming a Saint wasn’t so easy.

Like that ancient dragon turtle, trapped at the peak of the Riding Wind Realm for thousands of years, unable to break through.

Without Chu Fengmian’s help, it probably wouldn’t have been able to break through even in ten thousand years.

Though it wasn’t as hard for a martial artist to break through as it was for a demonic beast, it certainly wasn’t easy; at least in Chu Fengmian’s view, Zhi Lingtian only had the hope of becoming a Saint.

But to actually break through, it would also require ten, twenty years; Cold Snow Pavilion going to such lengths...

Could it be that Zhi Lingtian has already achieved the rank of Saint? Or maybe, is there a very high likelihood, and he could break through soon?

If Zhi Lingtian’s realm was still at the peak of the Riding Wind Realm, Chu Fengmian now had the confidence to battle him, but if he had become a Saint, Chu Fengmian would have to hide, lest he be hunted down.

This news from Han Yueli was something Chu Fengmian had to take seriously.
