After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

After the two entered the main hall, Guan Yueyue looked at Qin Chuan and said with a normal expression, "Lie down?"

Lie down?

Qin Chuan was taken aback, and instinctively tensed up. "Professor Guan... what are you going to do?"

"Just lie down when I tell you to, why are you talking so much!" Guan Yueyue frowned slightly.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan had no choice but to obediently lie down, but he still felt that something was off.

"Pfft!"

The next moment, Guan Yueyue roughly tore open Qin Chuan's clothes and threw them on the ground.

Feeling the coolness against his chest, Qin Chuan asked nervously, "Professor Guan... what are you going to do?"

As he spoke, he tightly protected his lower body, a look of sorrow appearing in his eyes. Could it be that this Guan Yueyue was on the same side as Empress Yaoxi?

She also likes to use force?!

Seeing Qin Chuan's actions, Guan Yueyue was taken aback, and then her face turned red, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Snapped!"

Guan Yueyue slapped Qin Chuan on the head, "What kind of nonsense are you thinking about?"

Qin Chuan froze, then stammered, "You don't mean to... me, do you?"

"Bah! You think so beautifully!"

Guan Yueyue rolled her eyes at Qin Chuan, then completely tore open Qin Chuan's clothes, revealing his chest underneath.

At this moment, Qin Chuan had a deep red fist mark on his chest, surrounded by charred black patches.

Amidst the charred blackness, there are tiny red dots that are easily missed if you don't look closely.

Guan Yueyue took out a white jade bottle and poured it onto Qin Chuan's chest. Soon, milky white powder was sprinkled onto the charred fist mark.

In an instant, it was icy cold!

This is how Qin Chuan felt at that moment.

Seeing Guan Yueyue's actions, Qin Chuan felt ashamed. How could he think of Instructor Guan as someone like Empress Yaoxi!

After Guan Yueyue finished doing all this, she glared at Qin Chuan and then said, "Shi Jie is Shi Yangming's grandson. Although he is of poor character and his talent is average, their ancestral Flaming Fist contains fire poison!"

Qin Chuan asked in surprise, "Fire poison?"

Guan Yueyue nodded. "That's right. This is a family heirloom of the Shi family. As long as it touches the body, it will cause the person to be poisoned by fire. As time goes by, this fire poison will also spread to the heart meridian."

If not treated promptly, your internal organs will be burned to ashes, and you will die a violent death!

"so smart?"

Upon hearing Guan Yueyue's words, Qin Chuan's pupils contracted, and he also became somewhat interested in the Shi family's fire poison.

Guan Yueyue suddenly asked, "Why use such a desperate fighting style?"

"Two reasons."

Qin Chuan replied, "Firstly, my cultivation level is not as high as his. The longer the fight drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for me. Therefore, I have no choice but to fight head-on!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Yueyue nodded in agreement. When in a weak position, the most important thing is to act quickly and decisively.

"And what's the second reason?"

"Secondly, I have been practicing a body-refining technique, and I'd like to take this opportunity to test the results of my training."

"You're crazy!" Guan Yueyue couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard that Qin Chuan was actually conducting experiments on the life-or-death stage.

Qin Chuan laughed and said, "As it turns out, if Shi Jie hadn't had that fire poison, I would have basically withstood his attack, and he would have been injured much more severely than me!"

Guan Yueyue remained silent.

Qin Chuan suddenly said with some disappointment, "It's just a pity that I didn't kill that Gu Wenxuan. That bastard sent people to cause me trouble time and time again. Does he really think I'm easy to bully?"

Guan Yueyue said softly, "You'll have a chance in the life-or-death arena challenge a month from now."

Qin Chuan nodded.

As if remembering something, Guan Yueyue suddenly said, "But you must remember, you absolutely cannot attack him before the duel on the Life and Death Arena, otherwise, the Heavenly Sword Sect will definitely not spare you!"

Qin Chuan smiled awkwardly. He had indeed had this idea before, thinking that he would find an opportunity to kill Gu Wenxuan.

Hearing Guan Yueyue's words, he temporarily gave up the idea.

Seeing Qin Chuan's expression, Guan Yueyue sighed, feeling even more that he was someone who could cause trouble.

But that's exactly what she lacks!

After a long silence, Guan Yueyue looked at Qin Chuan and said, "There is a Trial Tower in the sect, which is a place for cultivation. It has twelve floors in total. If you can reach the twelfth floor, there is said to be a mysterious reward!"

"What reward?" Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow, immediately showing some interest.

Guan Yueyue rolled her eyes at Qin Chuan. "Since it's a mysterious reward, how could I possibly know?"

Qin Chuan: "..."

Guan Yueyue added, "This Trial Tower is said to have been created a long time ago by an elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and only those under the age of twenty can enter."

Besides, the highest record for clearing the tower is only nine floors. I don't expect you to clear twelve floors. I just hope you can gain something from it.

Entering this trial tower requires a lot of contribution points; you'll have to earn them yourself!

Qin Chuan nodded. "I understand!"

After a long pause, Qin Chuan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Instructor Guan, I heard Shi Jie mention something about Falling Leaf Peak being without an owner. What's the story behind that?"

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Guan Yueyue fell silent, her eyes filled with reminiscence.

After a moment, Guan Yueyue sighed and said softly, "I'll tell you about these things later. Right now, you should focus on healing and cultivating. Don't worry about anything else for now."

As she turned to leave, she seemed to remember something and suddenly pinched Qin Chuan hard on the waist. "Also, from now on, don't think about any nonsense in your head. Remember, I am your mentor!"

After saying that, Guan Yueyue turned and left.

Qin Chuan felt somewhat embarrassed.

He was somewhat overwhelmed because similar things had happened before.

Once bitten, twice shy!

Seeing Guan Yueyue leave, Qin Chuan had a thought and entered the space of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace.

As soon as Qin Chuan entered, he saw Empress Yao Xi looking at him with a half-smile.

Qin Chuan touched his face and asked in confusion, "Senior Yao Xi, is there something on my face?"

"no!"

Empress Yaoxi shook her head and smiled, "That little girl is quite good to you. It's indeed strange that you suffered from this fire poison. Don't cultivate until you're fully recovered. Wait until you're healed before you start cultivating again!"

Hearing Empress Yaoxi say this, Qin Chuan nodded and said, "I understand, Senior Yaoxi."

Just then, Qin Chuan saw that Empress Yao Xi was still standing there, and her smile was particularly eerie. He couldn't help but cautiously ask, "Senior Yao Xi, is there anything else?"

Empress Yaoxi chuckled and said, "Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

Qin Chuan frowned. "The thing I promised you?"

Suddenly, Qin Chuan remembered that he had promised Gu Wenxuan compensation before dealing with him.

As Empress Yaoxi slowly walked towards him, Qin Chuan stammered, "Senior Yaoxi, but haven't I used your cultivation yet?"

"That's your business, I don't care. Since you promised to make compensation, you have to keep your word!"

As she spoke, Empress Yaoxi's phoenix dress slowly fell off.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan's pupils contracted, and he made a last-ditch effort, "Senior Yao... Senior Yao Xi, but I'm still injured..."

Empress Yaoxi waved her hand, "It's alright!"

The next second, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and a pair of red lips pressed against hers.

Within the space of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace, spring colors filled the garden, and the occasional sounds echoed...
