89: Chapter 90 Finding a Wife Halfway Through the Road

Chen Fan's expression was calm. He stretched out his hand, took the opponent's Storage Pouch into his possession, and then cast a fireball to destroy the body and erase any evidence.

This battle did not consume much of his magic power; he had easily handled it by relying on the few powerful Magical Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts in his hands.

However, the destruction of the Medium Grade Magical Artifact still made his heart ache for a moment.

His Divine Sense slowly descended into the Storage Pouch. After a careful inspection, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

During the battle, this old man had not used his Magic Treasure with full force; on the contrary, he had held back slightly.

Three Medium Grade Magical Artifacts were quietly placed in a jade box, emitting a faint cyan glow. There were no scratches on them, clearly indicating they had just been forged.

Besides the brand-new Magical Artifacts, there were nearly twenty thousand Spirit Stones, over a dozen rare Spiritual Plants, and several Cultivation Technique Jade Slips.

Among them, one Jade Slip caught Chen Fan's attention. A sweep of his Divine Sense allowed him to quickly see the contents within.

"It seems that this trip out was indeed an intentional ambush by someone."

As he spoke, he slowly handed the Jade Slip to Yan Xue.

Yan Xue looked at it carefully, a bitter expression appearing on her face.

"Young Miss, I really didn't expect this to happen. The Yan Family, it's better not to return in the future!" The maid behind her revealed a look of hatred after reading it.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xue frowned slightly. After a while, she slowly said, "We shall discuss this matter later."

It turned out that the Yan Family, like other Foundation Establishment Families, was divided into several factions.

The Grand Elder's faction, in order to suppress other factions, had deliberately leaked Yan Xue's route, not hesitating to betray the Family Alchemist.

"One of the important reasons for traveling to the Superior Sect to attend the Alchemy Conference this time was to win a foundation establishment pill for my father. As it stands now, this will be extremely difficult."

Yan Xue had originally been very interested in her own Alchemy skills, but after witnessing the Medicinal Pill refined by Chen Fan, she realized that there is always someone better.

"If I cannot obtain the foundation establishment pill this time, my father will sooner or later be purged from the Family." Yan Xue sighed repeatedly as she said this.

Chen Fan was thoughtful after hearing this.

He had already fathomed this woman's strength; she was at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. She was only one step away from a Breakthrough, and that step required a high-quality foundation establishment pill.

Yet, for her father's sake, she was willing to give it up; she was truly a person of excellent character.

Thinking of this, he slowly said, "Since there is no place for you in the Yan Family now, what are your plans for the future?"

"I will take one step at a time!"

"You are a weak woman, how can you do that? I wonder, Fellow Daoist Yan, do you have someone you admire?"

"Someone I admire?" A look of confusion appeared on Yan Xue's face.

"Although I, Chen, am untalented, I have great ambitions and have always wanted to establish a powerful cultivation Family. I wonder if you would be willing to become my Dao Companion."

Once these words were spoken, both Yan Xue and the maid behind her were greatly shocked.

Yan Xue had long guessed that the other party was a formidable Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and that he would likely be looking for a Dao Companion who was also at the Foundation Establishment level; she had not expected to be favored by him.

In fact, there was no need to overthink this matter; for her, it was a tremendous benefit. Relying on a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was the dream of many female Qi Refining cultivators.

However, if she agreed directly, it would seem a bit pretentious.

Thinking of this, a look of embarrassment and bewilderment appeared on her face.

"Young Miss, the Yan Family Grand Elder already views you as a thorn in his side. Even if you manage to return alive, how will you avoid further traps? It would be better to become a Dao Companion with Fellow Daoist Chen. That way, the Grand Elder will have some reservations."

"To be honest, I am at the third level of Foundation Establishment. If you agree to marry me, that Grand Elder of the Yan Family at the Qi Refinement Stage will not trouble your father."

"Yes, I think Young Miss and Senior Chen are a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven." The maid seized the opportunity to say.

Yan Xue finally nodded slightly, a shy expression on her face.

"Good. Now that you are at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, my wife, you can attempt Foundation Establishment now. I believe that before we reach the Superior Sect, you will certainly be able to successfully achieve Foundation Establishment."

"Now? Husband, what do you mean?"

"I have two foundation establishment pills in my hand right now, and your Foundation is quite good; it is the perfect time for Foundation Establishment."

As he spoke, Chen Fan flipped his hand and took out a pure white pill bottle.

After Yan Xue saw the Medicinal Pill inside clearly, she was shocked once again. A look of excitement appeared on her face, and she no longer had any doubts.

"Thank you, Husband."

"There is no need to be so polite. During this time, you can focus fully on Foundation Establishment, with me by your side as your Protector."

After the two chatted for a while, Chen Fan took out his insights on Foundation Establishment and explained them in detail in many places, while Yan Xue was completely immersed in them.

Over the next few days, the speed of the flying boat gradually became steady.

With Chen Fan presiding as her Protector, Yan Xue's state of mind was peaceful. Without any further worries, she seized the time to break through the bottleneck.

However, while she was exerting all her efforts to break through the bottleneck, an accident still occurred.

Yan Xue, who was sitting cross-legged, had her beautiful eyes tightly shut, her body trembling, and a look of pain on her face.

The Spiritual Qi that had originally enveloped her entire body now began to become chaotic.

The spiritual power within her body was rampaging, causing her to let out a muffled groan.

Chen Fan, who was meditating, saw this and shook his head slightly, "This woman's obsession is truly heavy. If I do not assist her, she will certainly fail her Foundation Establishment attempt and suffer severe damage to her Origin Qi."

Just as she was struggling to endure, a massive amount of magic power slowly entered her body, continuously guiding the scattered aura.

Not long after, her body stopped swaying. Yan Xue, who had originally held no hope for the Breakthrough, finally calmed her state of mind and exerted all her efforts to break through the bottleneck.

Half a month later, a resonant sound echoed in the private room of the flying boat, and a cloud of white mist slowly dissipated.

Chen Fan, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes. A flash of brilliance appeared in his gaze, and at the same time, a faint smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

At this moment, she had broken through and successfully reached the first level of Foundation Establishment, and was fully consolidating her Realm.

A few days later, after carefully dressing up, she slowly walked out of the cabin.

With the improvement of her Realm, the Impurities in her body were expelled, her skin became as fair as snow, and her face was round and exquisite.

Her figure was light, and with a graceful smile, she gave people a soul-stirring feeling.

"Congratulations, Young Miss."

The maid behind her showed a look of joy and bowed.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xue smiled, but her gaze seemed cold and disdainful.

Just as the other party finished speaking, a "puff" sound was heard. A flying blade pierced through the maid's chest, and a look of pain appeared on her face.

"Young Miss, you..."

"You already defected to the Grand Elder long ago. Don't think I don't know. Today, having luckily achieved Foundation Establishment, how can I leave a scourge like you alive?"

After saying this, she unleashed a powerful wave of magic power.

She threw her straight into the air, and with a flash at her fingertips, she cast a scorching fireball.

She looked into the distance, her expression full of determination: "Father, now that I have achieved Foundation Establishment, I will not let the Grand Elder humiliate you anymore."

Afterward, with soft eyes, she walked to Chen Fan and bowed slightly, opening her red lips lightly: "Husband."

"Not bad, it was much smoother than expected."

After saying this, he slowly picked her up and headed toward the bedroom.
