Martial Master

With Si Tu Zhen's words, Qin Chen had completely passed this hurdle.

"Alright, since Ling Jun's death has nothing to do with you, let's forget about it. Now that you've broken through to Martial Emperor, you can train with us. That blood-colored strange beast that was chasing you earlier is a unique creature of this Ancient Yu realm. The blood crystal inside its body can enhance a martial artist's body refinement cultivation," Si Tu Zhen said, waving his hand.

The blood crystal from the blood-colored strange beast that previously hunted Qin Chen landed in Qin Chen's hand.

"Since this blood-colored strange beast was lured here by you, this blood crystal is yours. You can refine it directly using your true essence."

Qin Chen hurriedly responded, "Sir Si Tu, that wouldn't be appropriate. After all, that beast was killed by you. I wouldn't dare to accept it!"

"Come on, you've even dared to beat Ling Yi, and with your half-step Martial Emperor cultivation, you dared to venture deep into the Ancient Yu realm. What else would you fear? Do you think I, Si Tu Zhen, would care about a blood crystal? Just take it." Si Tu Zhen glanced at Qin Chen and said indifferently.

Qin Chen felt a shiver in his heart and immediately replied, "Then I shall humbly accept it."

It seemed that Si Tu Zhen had guessed something; at least he knew that Ling Jun's death was not as simple as Qin Chen had said, and that it wasn't completely unrelated to him. It was just that the other party was too lazy to care.

However, Qin Chen respected Si Tu Zhen even more now; he was able to treat a disciple from the lower four domains and a member of the powerful Dan Pavilion’s Ling family equally. Such determination was not ordinary.

"Everyone disperse now. Take a half-day to rest and then we'll continue," Si Tu Zhen waved his hand.

The crowd immediately scattered, but only Ling Yi and Ling Yuan Nan continued to glare at Qin Chen, their eyes cold with killing intent. Qin Chen didn’t even glance at the two, too lazy to respond to them.

Ling Yuan Nan and Ling Yi snorted coldly; however, since Si Tu Zhen had said so, they couldn’t openly contravene his orders, especially since Si Tu Zhen was the leader this time.

"Do they really think that because Si Tu Zhen spoke for him, he’ll be safe? How naive. Just wait and see; does he really think that Si Tu Zhen can protect him forever?"

With a cold snort, the two turned and left.

"Young Master Chen." After Ling Yuan Nan and his group left, Ye Mo and Yan Chi Dao excitedly approached Qin Chen.

"It’s great that you’re alright."

The two were quite excited. Qin Chen had ventured deep into the Ancient Yu realm alone, and they had been very worried for him. Now that they saw Qin Chen safe, they all breathed a sigh of relief. The three of them came from the lower four domains, and if they didn’t support each other, no one would take them seriously.

"It was just luck," Qin Chen smiled and said, "You two have broken through to Martial Emperor as well? Not bad, and it seems your aura is not weak. You've likely condensed quite a bit of Spatial Law power, right?"

Ye Mo smiled, "Thanks to Sir Si Tu and the others, the spatial power here is incredibly dense, and the condensation speed is naturally very fast. Plus, with the aid of the Spatial Crystal and that blood crystal, Yan Chi Dao and I may have low cultivation levels, but we each got a few. By the way, I have one extra here, Young Master Chen, you can take it. This blood crystal truly has significant effects."

"I also have one left; Young Master Chen, you can give it a try," Yan Chi Dao quickly took out a blood crystal.

Qin Chen did not accept it. Although he hadn’t purposely looked for the source beast’s essence, he had hunted a few source beasts, but he simply hadn’t had the time to refine them yet. He didn’t have many blood crystals on him, but he still had about ten.

Of course, at this moment, he couldn’t take out his blood crystals to give to the two because as soon as he did, it would mean what he had said previously was a lie; he had the strength to kill source beasts, or he wouldn’t have received blood crystals.
