The next morning.
Chen Fan went to the suburbs of Longhai with Lu Qiuyang, Lu Qinghuan, and Lin Hu.
Upon reaching the entrance of the Cold Cave, Chen Fan looked towards Patriarch Lu, "Patriarch Lu, I might stay inside for quite a while, but it shouldn’t be more than a day. Please wait for patiently."
Lu Qiuyang nodded in response.
Lu Qinghuan looked at Chen Fan with concern, "Be careful in everything."
Chen Fan bowed slightly, "Thank you."
He then turned and walked into the Cold Cave.
A faint look of loss appeared on Lu Qinghuan’s face.
Lu Qiuyang smiled at his daughter, "Why the long face?"
Lu Qinghuan sighed, "He’s too indifferent towards ."
Lu Qiuyang stared at Lu Qinghuan for a while, "Do you really fancy Chen Fan that much?"
Lu Qinghuan nodded, "But his heart belongs to soone else, I don’t stand a chance."
Lu Qiuyang chuckled teasingly, "Opportunities are created, not waited for. Didn’t you say the person he likes was forced to leave? This is the best opportunity for you."
Lu Qinghuan asked in confusion, "What do you an, Father?"
Lu Qiuyang revealed a mischievous smile, "Do you rember the thod I told you about using the dicine? Even if he truly has other ways to purge the coldness from your body, this thod can still be put to use. When the ti cos and cooked rice becos cooked rice, he won’t be able to deny you."
Lu Qinghuan’s eyes went wide, but soon, she blushed and agreed, "I’ll listen to Father."
...
In the cave.
Chen Fan unleashed his Spiritual Power, shielding himself from the cold air, and proceeded step by step.
About a hundred ters in, two frozen bodies appeared on the ground.
Chen Fan paused, "Soone has discovered this place already?"
After inspecting the bodies for a mont, he continued further into the cave.
"I’ll make a breakthrough first, just in case sothing changes."
Soon, Chen Fan arrived at the end of the Cold Cave.
Seeing that the Cold Jade Marrow on the ice platform had not been taken and had already ford, he sighed in relief.
He radiated light with his Spiritual Power, observing his surroundings.
"The Spiritual Energy here is dense enough to have ford a mist, which is more than enough for to make my breakthrough."
Without hesitation, Chen Fan sat down cross-legged and started operating the Void Body Refining Skills.
The mist-like Spiritual Energy in the cave rushed into his body instantly.
With this power surging through him, Chen Fan began attempting Foundation Establishnt.
...
A thousand ters from the Cold Cave.
Tang Chuchu and Elder Yun were sitting in front of a campfire.
"This damned place is too eerie; the two n we sent into the cave were frozen to death, and even you, Elder Yun, couldn’t venture deeper. If there’s indeed a treasure inside, we can’t lay our hands on it." Tang Chuchu rubbed her hands together, her face full of frustration.
Elder Yun also sighed, "The cold air inside that cave is terrifying. I’m afraid even a Grandmaster of the Transformation Realm might not be able to reach the end."
At that mont, his ears twitched, and he stood up, turning his head to look towards the direction of the Cold Cave, "Soone’s coming!"
Tang Chuchu was startled, "Could there be others who know about this place?"
"Let’s go and see."
The two cautiously made their way towards the Cold Cave.
Soon, they spotted Chen Fan and his party before they reached the Cold Cave.
At that mont, Chen Fan had just finished giving his instructions and turned to walk into the cold depths of the cave.
Tang Chuchu’s eyes widened, and she whispered, "They’re from the Lu Family!"
"What is that guy doing heading into the cave? Does he have a death wish?"
Elder Yun also frowned, "They seem to be very familiar with this place. Logically, they should be aware of the terrifying cold inside the cave. Yet why does that youngster appear so at ease?"
Tang Chuchu suddenly sneered, "Maybe it’s just ignorance. Good for us. I don’t like that guy anyway. It would be nice if he froze to death in there."
A short distance away, Dong Jian walked over with a cold sneer on his face, "The patriarch told not to co, but I had to. I’ll find a hidden place to hide so I can enjoy watching Chen Fan being embarrassingly attacked."
Elder Yun spotted Dong Jian instantaneously and, in a flash, appeared behind him, placing a hand on his shoulder, "Keep quiet if you don’t want to die."
Dong Jian’s body stiffened imdiately, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He felt the terrifying fluctuations of inner strength emanating from the hand.
Grandmaster!
"For... forgive , senior. I’m just here for the spectacle," he pleaded.
Elder Yun did not speak and, together with Tang Chuchu, took Dong Jian back to the fire they were at earlier.
"Who are you? What spectacle ca here to see?" Elder Yun released a strand of inner strength, which drilled into Dong Jian’s body and road through his ridians, "If you dare to lie, my inner strength will instantly shatter all your ridians."
Faced with the threat of death, Dong Jian dared not hesitate, "I... I am a disciple of Patriarch Lu, Lu Qiuyang. I’m here to watch Chen Fan being attacked by the three big clans."
"Chen Fan, is that the pretty boy Lu Qinghuan raised?" Tang Chuchu asked.
Dong Jian nodded imdiately, "Yes, yes, that’s the pretty boy!"
Tang Chuchu frowned, "That guy has already entered the cave. There’s a high chance he will freeze to death. Why would soone still attack him?"
Elder Yun was straightforward, "Tell us everything you know!"
Ten minutes later.
Tang Chuchu’s face was full of shock.
"That pretty boy is actually a Grandmaster!"
"And he has a way to reach the end of the cave?"
Elder Yun was also astonished. He had never perceived Chen Fan’s true strength, having thought all along that Chen Fan was just an ordinary person, "This kid is no simple matter."
Tang Chuchu looked at Elder Yun, "Elder Yun, what do we do now?"
Elder Yun pondered for a mont, "This is good news for us. Since the kid can take out the treasures from the end of the cave, we will just wait here patiently for our chance."
"But what about the Lu Family and the three big clans?" Tang Chuchu asked.
Elder Yun said, "It’s simple. We join forces with the three big clans against the Lu Family. With Old Mr. Lu in secluded cultivation, Lu Qiuyang alone is no match for us. As long as we don’t harm the lives of the Lu’s, even if Old Mr. Lu cos out of seclusion, he won’t be able to criticize us."
Tang Chuchu looked at Dong Jian, "When will the three big clans arrive?"
Elder Yun’s ears twitched slightly, "They’re already here."
He turned to look in the direction of the Cold Cave, "Let’s go. I trust the three big clans will give us, the Tang Family, this much face."
Dong Jian quickly said, "You two go ahead. Don’t take with you. If the patriarch finds out I leaked the secret, he’ll break my legs!"
Tang Chuchu surveyed Dong Jian and suddenly revealed a mocking smile, "You had the guts to leak secrets, but not to own up to it?"
"It would be interesting to see the expression on Lu Qinghuan’s face when she finds out it was her admirer who leaked the secret."
"I want to see her grinding her teeth in anger."
"Elder Yun, take him with us!"
Elder Yun nodded, "Yes."
Dong Jian’s face turned pale instantly, and his legs couldn’t help but tremble.
