Immortal Cultivation Family: Start By Accepting Dao Companions

"Hoo." Chen Feng let out a long breath, finally passing this hurdle.

At least his waist wasn't injured.

Chen Feng took another step, wanting to leave this dangerous place.

Suddenly, a cold snort came from beside his ear: "Stop right there, stay here!"

It was Xia Jiao's voice. He didn't know when she turned around, staring at Chen Feng intently.

"Lady Mother-in-law, what's the matter? It's not good for your son-in-law to stay here..." Chen Feng forced a smile that was even uglier than crying. Why were women always so fickle? Chen Feng, who had been through countless battles, couldn't figure out this hundred-year-old iceberg.

Feeling suppressed for the first time, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Stay here."

"Huh?" Chen Feng turned around in surprise, looking at Xia Jiao.

"Haven't you heard? I told you to stay here." Xia Jiao said with a firm tone, her face showing no room for doubt.

"This..." Chen Feng helplessly said, "What do you want me to do by staying here? Aren't you afraid it will have a negative impact on you if it gets out?"

"Do I still care about these things now?" Xia Jiao rolled her eyes at him. The incident just now had already confirmed their 'relationship'.

For Xia Jiao, she no longer cared about these things.

"I'm breaking through to the Gold Core stage. You can observe on the side and gain some experience, which will be useful for you in the future."

This was what Xia Jiao said after considering it. Although it wasn't good for her privacy, she had seen Chen Feng's talent. He was both an alchemist and close to the later stage of Foundation Building. In the future, he would definitely be able to impact the Gold Core stage. Staying here to watch her breakthrough and gaining some experience would also help him avoid detours.

Chen Feng didn't expect Xia Jiao to have such thoughts. Without thinking too much, he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Since Lady Mother-in-law has spoken, I dare not disobey."

And so, Chen Feng quietly watched as Xia Jiao circulated one small cycle after another.

After stabilizing her aura, she began to stimulate her mana.

Time passed slowly, but the spiritual energy that swept through the surroundings proved that Xia Jiao had already started.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

Xia Jiao's aura was incredibly full, and three golden flowers appeared above her head, slowly rotating.

An extremely heavy mana came, carrying a hint of nobility.

Xia Jiao swallowed the Peak Concentration Pill. After a moment, the three flowers above her head quickly rotated and turned into specks of golden light that entered her body.

Then, Xia Jiao's aura began to rise.

The bitter sea within her body roiled, constantly being compressed and refined.

After the three flowers entered her body, they washed and baptized every bone and muscle.

But this process was extremely painful, gradually enhancing her physique.

Her momentum was also gradually rising, with golden light rippling.

A sense of icy coldness overflowed from within her body, and a blue object rose from Xia Jiao's body, hovering in mid-air.

After a moment, below the blue object, an irregularly shaped sphere, about the size of a pigeon egg, was born.

However, the oppressive feeling of that level of life made Chen Feng's breathing become rapid.

That was a Gold Core, a semi-finished Gold Core.

And that blue object was Xia Jiao's spiritual root.

An exotic single spiritual root, also a heavenly spiritual root, an ice spiritual root.

Chen Feng suddenly took a deep breath. A single ice spiritual root, how terrifying was this talent?

Chen Feng was not stingy either. He took out a thousand pieces of medium-grade spirit stones and directly shattered them.

The spiritual energy in the surroundings suddenly exploded, and Xia Jiao's Gold Core was quickly washed and polished.

And so, time passed little by little.

A golden Gold Core floated in the air and was swallowed by Xia Jiao.

"Boom!"

In an instant, Xia Jiao's momentum increased, and the surrounding spiritual energy was also absorbed.

Watching Xia Jiao swallow and exhale spiritual energy, she felt relieved as her internal energy became more stable.

The Gold Core was formed, and Xia Jiao had become a Gold Core cultivator.

Even if she went to some major forces, she would be able to obtain a good position.

After finishing her cultivation, Xia Jiao slowly stood up. A flash of golden light passed through her eyes, and the surrounding cold aura was also retracted.

"Success!" Xia Jiao nodded towards Chen Feng, revealing a rare smile.

Chen Feng's heart suddenly raced. Xia Jiao, who usually had a cold demeanor, was surprisingly charming when she smiled. It was evident that she was in a really good mood.

However, Chen Feng didn't have the audacity to make a move on her. Even if he had lived long enough, he hadn't lived long enough to provoke her.

"Congratulations, Madam Yue, on breaking through to the Gold Core stage. I wish you great fortune and eternal life..."

"Enough." Xia Jiao scolded.

Chen Feng closed his mouth and approached Xia Jiao with a smile.

The closer he got, the more pressure he felt on himself.

This was because Xia Jiao hadn't released her aura yet.

Xia Jiao restrained her aura a bit and left with Chen Feng.

"Congratulations, Senior, on breaking through to the Gold Core stage." Wan Youjin greeted them with a smile, offering his congratulations.

"Master Chen is really lucky." He secretly sighed.

"I have to thank you for this. It's just a small token of appreciation." Chen Feng smiled and handed over a small bottle.

"This is too precious!" Wan Youjin opened it and found a Foundation Building Pill inside. His heart skipped a beat.

He quickly handed the bottle back.

"This is just a small token of my appreciation. I will have many more things to trouble you with in the future. Please accept it." Chen Feng handed the pill to him and then turned to leave with Xia Jiao.

"Master Chen, you..." Wan Youjin's expression was complicated as he held the bottle in his hand, feeling emotional.

His generosity was truly remarkable. His good fortune had not been in vain.

He accepted the pill and wrote a letter to Origin Spirit County.

Chen Feng and Xia Jiao left the Wanbao Trading Company without buying anything.

And so, Chen Feng stepped onto Xia Jiao's flying sword.

"Stand steady." Xia Jiao's face was also filled with excitement. She had finally broken through to the Gold Core stage.

After leaving the city, there was no need to suppress her cultivation anymore. She could release it to her heart's content.

"Swoosh!"

With a swoosh, the flying sword appeared at the horizon with an extremely eerie speed.

"Don't go so fast, I'm scared!" Chen Feng immediately lost his composure and almost fell backward when they started. He grabbed Xia Jiao's waist, looking terrified.

Suddenly, Xia Jiao trembled in the air, and her speed slowed down significantly. A strange feeling surged up.

"Chen Feng!" She shouted and was about to open Chen Feng's mouth.

"I'm scared!" Chen Feng met Xia Jiao's gaze and showed a pitiful and weak expression, holding onto her even tighter.

Xia Jiao hesitated for a moment, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

She reassured herself that she had just broken through to the Gold Core stage, and her speed was indeed a bit too fast for Chen Feng, who was only at the Foundation Building stage.

She comforted herself, thankful that Chen Feng hadn't done anything more outrageous besides stealing her two daughters' "qi" (energy) these past few days.
