Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 275: Haste makes waste!

Immediately afterward, Feng Ziyuan circulated his battle qi again, slowly infusing this power into Chu Lingjun’s body. As the battle qi flowed into her, the acupuncture needles all over her trembled slightly. Feng Ziyuan persisted in circulating his energy to unblock her obstructed meridians. This would allow the medicinal liquid she had just ingested to flow throughout her body and maximize its effects.

This process lasted for another hour.

Meanwhile, Long Chen and Cai Qing stood by, waiting in silence. The wait felt agonizingly long for Long Chen. All of his attention was fixed on Chu Lingjun as he silently prayed for her recovery.

Finally, Feng Ziyuan ceased circulating his battle qi and collected all the silver needles from Chu Lingjun’s body. Seeing her about to slump onto the bed, Long Chen hurried forward to catch her.

"It’s done," Feng Ziyuan exhaled deeply. "I have completely unblocked her meridians. There shouldn’t be any serious issues now. Just let her rest for a while, and she will naturally wake up."

Upon hearing Feng Ziyuan’s words, Long Chen felt a wave of relief and gently laid Chu Lingjun on the bed. He took a careful look at her and noticed that after Feng Ziyuan’s treatment, her complexion had improved significantly.

"That’s great," Cai Qing grinned. "All our efforts weren’t for nothing. Everything is back on track."

Seeing Feng Ziyuan slowly walk out of the room, Long Chen turned to Cai Qing. "Please watch over her for me. I’m going to step out for a moment."

"Of course!" Cai Qing nodded. "You can rest assured with me here. Go on."

"Thank you," Long Chen smiled slightly and left the room, searching for Feng Ziyuan.

After scanning his surroundings, he found Feng Ziyuan standing in a pavilion, gazing into the distance. A gentle breeze blew, fluttering his silver-white hair and beard.

Just as he was lost in thought, a voice came from behind. "Senior Feng."

Feng Ziyuan turned to see Long Chen standing beside him. "What is it?" he asked. "Shouldn’t you be by her side? What brings you here?"

"I visited Guiyuan Academy," Long Chen said suddenly.

A glimmer flashed in Feng Ziyuan’s eyes at his words, but he quickly regained his composure. "How was it?" he asked indifferently. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"It went well," Long Chen said truthfully. "If it weren’t for the help of my fellow sect members this time, I probably wouldn’t have been able to bring back the Restoring Tendon Grass."

Feng Ziyuan continued, "Then what did you all gain in the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land?"

"Heaven Reaching Fruit," Long Chen replied honestly.

"Hmm?" Surprise flickered in Feng Ziyuan’s eyes. "I didn’t expect one could still find a Heaven Reaching Fruit in the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land. A single one is enough to make many people burn with envy."

Long Chen smiled faintly. "Senior Feng, what we obtained in the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land wasn’t just a single Heaven Reaching Fruit."

"What?"

The mention of a single Heaven Reaching Fruit had already surprised Feng Ziyuan—and there was more than one?

Long Chen held up five fingers. "We obtained five Heaven Reaching Fruits this time!"

"Five?" Feng Ziyuan’s eyelids twitched. "Are you joking with me, boy?"

Even someone as experienced as he was felt his heart pound with shock at the mention of so many Heaven Reaching Fruits.

"Senior Feng, I might lie to anyone else, but I would never lie to you," Long Chen said, shaking his head with a smile.

"If it’s as you say, then our Guiyuan Academy has truly stumbled upon a great fortune," Feng Ziyuan chuckled. He then sized up Long Chen and nodded approvingly. "Boy, it’s only been a few days, and your cultivation has advanced again."

Long Chen clasped his hands in a salute. "My rapid breakthrough is all thanks to the energy you left in my body last time, Senior Feng."

"However, I can feel that the energy within you is still quite turbulent," Feng Ziyuan advised. "You should meditate again from start to finish to stabilize your foundation. Matters of cultivation allow for no negligence; otherwise, it will greatly affect your progress."

"Thank you for the advice. I’ll be careful," Long Chen nodded.

After Feng Ziyuan left, Long Chen found a quiet place to sit cross-legged and began circulating his energy to regulate his breath. Since Chu Lingjun hadn’t awakened yet, it was the perfect opportunity for him to continue cultivating.

I have to become stronger! I was relentlessly pursued from the Wilderness Region to the God-Devil Domain by the World King Palace, and I still don’t know who captured my father. No matter what, I must become truly powerful. Only then, when I face future problems, will I avoid ending up in such a miserable state.

And so, Long Chen spent the entire night completely stabilizing the flow of energy within his body. His realm had reached the peak of the Fourth Layer of the War Ancestor Realm! He was only a small step away from the Fifth Layer of the War Ancestor Realm!

During this time, Long Chen had also tried to seize the opportunity to break through to the Fifth Layer, but he ultimately failed. With no other choice, he gave up on the idea.

Cultivation cannot be rushed. Haste indeed makes waste. Every single step must be steady.

Long Chen took a deep breath, then retrieved a Heaven Reaching Fruit from his spatial ring. He gazed deeply at it and murmured, "I wonder how much my realm will improve after I consume this Heaven Reaching Fruit."
