"Xin'er, Uncle Feng must have his own plans, so don't bother him."

After spending these few hours together, Feng Qingxue realized that those people all knew Feng Che, and their relationship was quite special. Watching Feng Che's sword continuously gathering power, she could roughly guess what he was going to do next, but she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After a moment's internal struggle, Jiang Xin and Jiang Ling grabbed their swords and flashed out of the defensive barrier, stunned and not understanding what Feng Qingxue was going to do.

"Senior Sister!"

Seeing the girl who had suddenly appeared beside him, Feng Che frowned. "What do you want to do?"

Feng Qingxue turned her head to look at him and smiled, "Whatever Second Master Feng wants to do, I will do."

"Nonsense, go back now."

Although the plan was perfect, there's no guarantee that something unexpected won't happen.

"You look down on me?" Feng Qingxue looked up at the sky and said.

"No, this dragon is no ordinary creature. You could lose your life if you're not careful. You should go back now." Feng Che glanced at Feng Qingxue. He had met this little girl a few times, but he didn't have a deep impression of her. However, the dean of Blue Star Academy had been kind to him, so he naturally couldn't ignore her life or death.

Feng Qingxue's red lips curved into a smile as she met Feng Che's eyes. "So, Second Master Feng is worried about me."

Feng Che didn't think too much about it and replied, "Your dean has been kind to me, and as an elder, it's only natural for me to worry about the younger generation."

Although Feng Che only regarded her as a junior, she was immediately pleased to hear him admit that he was indeed worried about her.

"I will not go back."

A determined look flashed in Feng Qingxue's eyes. As she spoke, she continuously gathered power in her sword. Seeing her stubborn look, Feng Che didn't say anything more. He knew that it would be pointless to say anything.

roar!

A dragon's roar interrupted everyone's thoughts, and Feng Che and Feng Qingxue immediately became extremely alert.

Two water dragons surrounded the puppet dragon. Just as the puppet dragon was about to spew flames, Hei Xiangling noticed it and manipulated one of the water dragons to go directly into its mouth. The puppet dragon was shocked and tried to retreat, but its body was surrounded by the other water dragon and eventually completely covered.

Ji Jiuying and Yin Han exchanged a glance, and the ice spiritual power they had already gathered in their hands was about to be unleashed. They attacked the puppet dragon from the front and back, and the puppet dragon, which was still struggling, gradually turned into an ice sculpture.

"Prepare."

Feng Che gave a reminder, and Feng Qingxue looked nervously into the air.

Just as the dragon puppet was completely frozen, Feng Che and Feng Qingxue leaped up and stabbed at the dragon's body one after the other. Just as they were about to stab it, there was a cracking sound, and everyone was shocked.

Ji Jiuying and Yin Han continuously used ice-type spiritual power to bind the puppet dragon. Feng Che and Feng Qingxue gritted their teeth and pushed their swords forward. With a bang, two dazzling lights instantly pierced through the dragon's body, and the power spread outwards. Before they could react, they were blasted away by this power and fell to the ground. All of them suffered many injuries.

Feng Che glanced approvingly at Feng Qingxue, who had collapsed not far away. This girl had guts.

Noticing that she had broken Feng Che's gaze, Feng Qingxue met his eyes and smiled, "Second Master Feng, I'm not bad, am I?"

Feng Che nodded without saying a word, and Feng Qingxue was overjoyed. She could clearly feel that Feng Che was no longer as indifferent to her as he had been at the beginning.

The protective shield was removed, and everyone rushed out. Jiang Xin stepped forward to Feng Qingxue's side and helped her up. "Senior Sister, are you alright? You really scared me to death just now."

"It's alright, don't worry, we still have Second Master Feng here," Feng Qingxue said with a smile.

Hei Xiangling was fine. "You brat, how are you?"

Ji Jiuying's hands were covered in blood, but she didn't care at all. She grabbed a handful of pills and put them in her mouth, saying, "N-nothing."

"You said you were fine, but your hand is injured."

"I'm an alchemist, how could I not know my own condition?" Ji Jiuying said with a nonchalant smile. In reality, the injury on her hand no longer hurt, but the bloodstains were still a bit shocking to look at.

Hei Xiangling was about to say something when she was interrupted by the exclamations of the spiritual cultivators. She frowned and turned around impatiently, about to lash out, when she discovered that the puppet dragon they had just killed had turned into countless specks of light. In an instant, the entire underground palace was filled with rich spiritual energy, which was also mixed with the dragon energy of the ancient dragon race, making it an excellent place for cultivation.

"My God, the spiritual energy is so rich and pure."

"This spiritual energy also carries dragon energy, making it perfect for enhancing cultivation."

"Then what are we waiting for? Quickly sit down and meditate."

"······"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly found an open space to sit down and absorb the spiritual energy.

“You brat, you should take this opportunity to cultivate too. I’ll protect you from the side,” Hei Xiangling said.

Ji Jiuying nodded, then, as if remembering something, released Ling Xiao from her spatial storage and wrapped him around her wrist like a bracelet. "Ling Xiao, this spiritual energy is beneficial to you. Absorb it with me."

"Okay." Ling Xiao was overjoyed and replied telepathically.

Ji Jiuying smiled. Her purpose in coming here was to cultivate and improve her strength. Without hesitation, she quickly entered a state of cultivation. Feng Che and Yin Han did not do what the others did, but instead sat down next to Ji Jiuying.

Suddenly, the Dragon Palace became incredibly quiet. After an unknown amount of time, a series of loud banging sounds echoed through the palace.

"I advanced!"

"Me too. I finally broke through the bottleneck that I had been stuck on for months. This spiritual energy is really a good thing."

One by one, almost all of them advanced. Overjoyed, they found that the spiritual energy in the Dragon Palace was still so abundant. They immediately sat down to continue, but when they tried to advance further, they could not absorb the spiritual energy no matter what they did.

What's going on?

"Why can't I absorb spiritual energy?"

"Me too······"

"Huh, why can he still absorb it?" Someone in the crowd pointed at Ji Jiuying, and instantly all eyes were drawn to her. A sense of dissatisfaction and resentment arose in everyone's hearts.

But seeing Hei Xiangling beside him, he dared not do anything even if he had any complaints.

That's just how people are. You don't see how hard others are working, but when they finally get the fruits of their labor, you can't help but feel envious.

Feng Che and Yin Han looked at everyone with suspicion, then at Ji Jiuying who was still cultivating. After trying it out, they discovered that they could absorb spiritual energy.

"Xiangling, do you think you can absorb this spiritual energy?"

Although Hei Xiangling didn't know what Feng Che was going to do, she still tried it and found that it could be absorbed. At the same time, she looked at Feng Qingxue not far away.

Feng Qingxue was a little nervous when she saw Feng Che walking straight towards her, but she still tried her best to remain calm.

"Miss Wind, why don't you try to absorb this spiritual energy?"

Feng Qingxue looked at Feng Che in front of her, paused for a moment, and then said, "Okay."
