Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 240 - Overall Improvement

Watermoon City boasted a myriad of prestigious clans, but none matched the formidable foundations of the Zhao and Zheng Clans, each presided over by a fifth-level Yuanfu realm powerhouse.

Together with the other influential clans, they spearheaded the City Clash Convention, a strategic move aimed at bleeding the Chen Clan financially and undermining its strength in Watermoon City.

From the perspective of these prestigious clans, the Chen Clan lacked the robust foundation of its adversaries, as it stemmed from Xuanyang City. So, they could use the competition to get some money from them.

If it had not been for Chen Zhengqing’s immense strength, the clans would have worked together and wiped out the Chen Clan long ago.

“You’re right. Since they want us to bleed money, let’s see who ends up bleeding more!”

A faint cold smile appeared on Chen Zhengqing’s face as well.

Chen Zhengqing picked out some young clan members. Chen Fan spent much time and effort, along with Nine Revolution Golden Pills, Dragon Tiger Bone Strengthening Pills, and other precious elixirs, to cleanse and strengthen their physiques.

Martial infusion followed, supported by numerous demon cores to elevate their cultivation levels.

Three of the more than twenty individuals became Qi Grandmasters, while the rest reached the seventh or eighth level of the Qigong realm.

Not neglecting the elders loyal to the clan and supporters of Chen Zhengqing, Chen Fan generously utilized the Fountain of Life for martial infusion. This process aimed at breaking through their bottlenecks, providing a unique opportunity for advancement.

These clan elders were all very advanced in age. If they could not advance to the Yuanfu realm, they only had another decade or so to live at most.

However, the Fountain of Life contained massive amounts of vitality origin essence. So, even if they couldn’t become Yuanfu realm experts, it would at least make them Qi Grandmasters. That would also greatly increase their lifespan, providing more time to advance further.

For three whole days, Chen Fan tirelessly performed martial infusion on the Chen Clan members.

The result was the emergence of three additional Yuanfu realm experts and close to twenty Qi Grandmasters among the elders.

Chen Fan had single-handedly bolstered the Chen Clan's overall strength in just three days.

“Haha, this is great. Truly great. Our Chen Clan’s foundation isn’t any weaker than the other clans now.”

In a secret room, Chen Zhengqing glanced across the group of people and laughed happily.

These individuals, carefully selected by Chen Zhengqing and Chen Fan, had undergone martial infusion, becoming the core pillars of the Chen Clan.

Their gaze toward the seemingly indifferent Chen Fan brimmed with deep respect and admiration.

After the group witnessed Chen Fan's extraordinary methods that increased their cultivation, the younger generation's admiration for him grew.

“Alright, all of you keep a low profile until the City Clash Convention. We’ll give a big surprise to those trying to scheme against our Chen Clan.”

Chen Fan swept his gaze across the crowd, and his voice carried an authority that did not allow anyone to go against his wish.

The crowd nodded one after another.

“Alright, you may leave first. For the next few days, focus on consolidating your cultivation. Although I helped raise your cultivation levels through martial infusion, it isn’t strength you’ve gained by cultivating yourselves. A weak foundation would cut the path of your future cultivation short,” Chen Fan said.

Walking on the path of martial arts was an act of going against the heavens, demanding one to take careful, short steps.

Through Chen Fan's martial infusion, their cultivation levels had risen. Although he had used precious elixirs, demon cores, and corpse cores in the process—leaving no aftereffects—it had still made their foundations unstable.

If their foundations were weak, they could simply forget about going far in the path of martial arts. Just like pagodas, one needed a robust foundation for strong cultivation.

The crowd nodded and exited the secret room, leaving only Chen Fan and Chen Zhengqing behind.

“Hmm, Father, I’ll share some of the Fountain of Life liquid with you for the clan. Get me something for it. This matter must remain confidential, or the consequences will be unimaginable. Let’s keep our heads down and cultivate in silence.”

Chen Fan separated a third of the liquid in the iron gourd and gave it to Chen Zhengqing.

Chen Zhengqing’s hand trembled.

He had thoroughly felt the effects of the Fountain of Life himself.

Four drops alone had fully mended the cracks in his primeval vessel. The fluid's potency surpassed any elixirs’, making it exceptionally precious.

Furthermore, a drop could help a Qi Grandmaster become a Yuanfu realm expert. The one-third he had received held fifty drops, equivalent to fifty potential Yuanfu realm experts.

“One more thing. If you want to use the Fountain of Life to nurture loyal descendants of our clan, you must not use it directly. You need to dilute it with large amounts of spring water. Otherwise, it will do more harm than good,” said Chen Fan, putting away the remainder of the Fountain of Life.

The next day, Chen Fan left Watermoon City and silently descended into Xuanyang City.

The Chen Clan was developing in both Xuanyang City and Watermoon City in tandem. Chen Tianxiong was overseeing the clan in Xuanyang City.

Swish!

Chen Fan landed in the Chen Clan mansion in Xuanyang City. He did not conceal his aura at all, so he immediately drew the attention of the Chen Clan’s guards.

These guards had all followed the Chen Clan for more than a decade. Naturally, they recognized Chen Fan.

They immediately half-knelt and greeted respectfully, “Greetings to the Young Patriarch!”

“Mmm, get up, all of you.”

Chen Fan swept his gaze across these people, nodding to himself.

The Chen Clan’s strength was growing; it was getting better by the day. The guards all seemed much stronger than before.

“What brought you back, Xiaofan?”

Chen Tianxiong was silently cultivating in his room when he sensed Chen Fan’s aura. He immediately came out, pleased.

“Grandfather. Let’s talk inside.”

Chen Fan and Chen Tianxiong walked into the main hall together.

“What? Chen Hualong and Chen Yunchong both advanced to the Yuanfu realm? Chen Qingqing, Chen Jian, Chen Lei, and the others have become Qi Grandmasters?”

In the main hall, Chen Fan gave Chen Tianxiong a quick summary of the situation in Watermoon City. His grandfather was taken aback, revealing a look of great shock.

Chen Tianshi, Chen Tianhu, and the others’ faces also trembled in astonishment.

Chen Fan smiled and said, “Grandfather, there’s no need for you guys to be surprised. My purpose for returning to Xuanyang City is to help raise your cultivation levels.”

“Good, that will be great!” Chen Tianxiong slapped his knee and laughed.

Chen Fan didn’t drone on further and said, “Grandfather, Grand Elder, please get ready.”

Chen Tianxiong, Chen Tianshi, and the others immediately sat upright with serious expressions.

Chen Fan tapped the iron gourd. Several dreamy-looking, colorful drops flew out. Rubbing them in his hands, the droplets of Fountain of Life turned into vast amounts of vitality origin essence. He thrust them into Chen Tianxiong and the others.

Chen Tianxiong and the others immediately focused and calmed their minds, revolving their cultivations to refine the energy essence in the drops.
