Lu Chen's words sent a shiver down Leng Yue's spine. After thinking about it carefully, she had to admit that what Lu Chen said was true.

What effect can I achieve by cultivating here for ten or fifteen days?

If it doesn't help your skills at all, then it's just a waste of time.

However, Leng Yue was very dissatisfied.

Why is it that Lu Chen can cultivate, but my cultivation is useless?

Lu Chen ignored him and turned to leave.

"etc."

Leng Yue suddenly called out to Lu Chen. When she saw Lu Chen turn around and look at her with a smile, Leng Yue blushed for no reason, and her voice became much weaker.

"Even if I borrowed this pill from you, I will definitely return it to you in the future, okay?"

Leng Yue's expression turned anxious, fearing that Lu Chen would reject her. If that happened, she wished she could disappear into the ground; it would be too embarrassing.

Someone just gave it to you, and you didn't want it. Now, you're offering to borrow it? Isn't that stupid?

However, Lu Chen just smiled and didn't care. Instead, he threw the Dragon Essence Pill in his hand directly to Leng Yue.

"It doesn't matter whether it's returned or not, as long as it's useful."

After a quick search, Lu Chen found a spot nearby and sat down, saying, "Take the Dragon Essence Pill first and start cultivating. I'll protect you from now on."

In fact, Lu Chen wasn't in a hurry to cross this desolate land of eight hundred miles. Staying there to cultivate quietly seemed like a good idea, especially with a beautiful woman by his side.

He suddenly realized that Leng Yue was a very strong-willed woman with a strong sense of self-respect. She was unwilling to accept favors from others easily, and such people were very guarded.

Lu Chen guessed that perhaps she had experienced something in the past.

Of course, Lu Chen had no interest in knowing.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Leng Yue was stunned for a moment, but nodded with an unnatural expression, feeling a strange sensation in her heart.

"Don't overthink it. It's just that you're all alone here in seclusion. If you encounter some stupid trash at a crucial moment, it could be very dangerous. I just ran into one."

What Lu Chen said was true. If it were anyone else, who was in the midst of a critical moment of seclusion and was suddenly attacked, they could easily suffer a qi deviation.

Since I'm just idling around anyway, I might as well go all the way and do a good deed. I don't want to end up harming someone by giving away a pill.

"Thanks."

Leng Yue uttered only two words, closed her eyes, calmed her mind and regulated her breathing. Only after her mind returned to its normal state did she take the Dragon Essence Pill.

Dragon Essence Pills are extremely precious and greatly help cultivators improve their physical cultivation. Unlike Dragon Essence Fruits, which are more effective for men, Dragon Essence Pills are suitable for both men and women.

After taking the Dragon Essence Pill, Leng Yue felt her whole body suddenly become incredibly hot, as if all the blood in her body was boiling. Then, an extremely terrifying energy raged wildly within her body, constantly destroying and then regenerating.

Leng Yue felt that her physical strength was constantly improving.

She was utterly amazed, never imagining that her strength could improve so rapidly one day.

She became engrossed in her cultivation, gradually forgetting everything outside, and felt that the pressure from the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm was not as great as before.

This cultivation lasted for an unknown period of time.

When Leng Yue opened her eyes again, she subconsciously looked around and was startled.

Leng Yue never expected that a battle would be taking place right beside her at this very moment.

He was so engrossed in his cultivation that he didn't even notice it. At that moment, Lu Chen stood in front of him, while a group of people were attacking Lu Chen relentlessly.

Leng Yue recognized these people at a glance; they were the same guys who had been walking in front of her earlier, plus the group that had caught up from behind.

These people saw Lu Chen and me sitting there quietly and assumed we were injured, so they planned to take advantage of our situation.

Having witnessed Lu Chen and Leng Yue's talent and strength, everyone naturally wanted to eliminate their rivals as soon as possible.

If we don't act now, when will we?

However, to everyone's surprise, Lu Chen actually stood in front of Leng Yue, blocking all the attacks by himself, allowing Leng Yue to continue cultivating. He faced more than a dozen of them all by himself.

"snort."

Leng Yue's face darkened, and without saying a word, she made her move. Suddenly, a long sword emitting a faint blue light appeared in her hand. With the sword in hand, Leng Yue's aura suddenly exploded.

Once a Venerable Realm expert makes a move, the difference in strength becomes obvious.

Lu Chen was afraid that his fighting would make too much noise and disturb Leng Yue, so he only defended at first, blocking all the attacks and trying not to disturb Leng Yue.

But now that Leng Yue has finished her cultivation and is taking action herself, she naturally has no more worries.

However, Lu Chen also wanted to see just how much Leng Yue's strength had improved.

A single Dragon Essence Pill is of little use to Lu Chen, but it is extremely useful to Leng Yue.

What Lu Chen didn't know was that Leng Yue's current cultivation level was entirely due to her own efforts and talent; she had almost never used such powerful elixirs.

Therefore, this Dragon Essence Pill is of great help to Leng Yue.

"Not bad!"

When Lu Chen saw Leng Yue make her move, his eyes lit up. This woman was indeed very talented.

Her swordsmanship level is quite high; at least in Lu Chen's opinion, it seems to be on par with his own.

Of course, Lu Chen's strongest point right now is not his swordsmanship level, but his pure physical strength, which, combined with his saber technique, is actually stronger than his swordsmanship.

With a single sword strike, Leng Yue killed three people, startling those who had just attacked. Their expressions changed drastically, and they immediately abandoned their plans to deal with the two, turning to flee.

But they seemed to have forgotten that in this Hidden Dragon Realm, there was no escape.

Their speed was far inferior to that of Lu Chen and his companion, so they could only take difficult steps in another direction while also having to guard against Leng Yue and Lu Chen's pursuit.

However, these people had no idea that Lu Chen and his companion didn't need to chase after them at all.

"These people are a waste of cultivation resources just by being alive!"

Lu Chen sighed and was about to make a move.

Suddenly, Leng Yue made her move.

An incredibly terrifying sword aura instantly pierced through the chest of one of them, and then a figure swiftly ran towards them.

It was a cold moon.

"Huh? She can run?"

Everyone who saw Leng Yue was startled.

While others are still struggling to walk, she can already run!
