No need to search for the traces of Dragon Island at sea, so on the return journey, the speed of the Sky-Splitting Halberd was pushed to the extreme by Jiang Che.

In the end, it took only a third of the time it took to arrive, and they smoothly returned to the Great Qin Empire.

As per the second brother's request, Jiang Che let him off in a mountain forest,

"Big brother, see you! Remember to call me if there's such an opportunity in the future!"

Fang Yuan jumped off the Sky-Splitting Halberd, happily reminded Jiang Che.

Although he only obtained one Dragon Blood Fruit this time, the Dragon Blood Ancient Tree was almost certainly going to be his, so he was in a good mood.

Therefore, if there was such an opportunity in the future, he would not want to miss it.

"Alright, I'll definitely call you for help!"

Jiang Che smiled and nodded, deciding in his heart that if there was a dangerous place in the future, he would take the second brother with him.

This guy's recovery ability was monstrous; even his severed tail recovered in just half a month, making him an extremely suitable meat shield.

Receiving a positive response, Fang Yuan left satisfied, walking straight into the nearby forest without looking back.

"Second brother, give it your all! Eating this Dragon Blood Fruit should help you break through, right?"

As Jiang Che watched Fang Yuan gradually disappear into the forest, he thought to himself.

Then, he activated the Sky-Splitting Halberd again, and with Xiao Zi, headed straight back to Changbai Mountain.

...

Changbai Mountain

A golden stream of light pierced through the clouds in the sky, quickly flying toward Changbai Mountain.

"Xiao Zi, we're almost home!"

At the tip of the Sky-Splitting Halberd, Jiang Che looked at the approaching Changbai Mountain with joy, shaking his head slightly.

Even when sleeping, Xiao Zi was holding onto the Dragon Blood Fruit tightly with its two front paws. The aroma of the fruit made it drool, soaking a large part of Jiang Che's head.

"Chirp!"

Xiao Zi slowly woke up, lifted its head, and looked forward, chirping in surprise.

At this time, Nangong Luo, who was in Peach Grove Valley, heard the whistling wind from the sky, immediately awoke from cultivation, and looked up.

"Big brother and Xiao Zi are back!"

Seeing that familiar golden light, Nangong Luo exclaimed in surprise, rising from the Cyan Stone Pool and standing by the edge.

In just a few moments, the golden light transformed by the Sky-Splitting Halberd descended into Peach Grove Valley.

"Big brother, Xiao Zi!"

Nangong Luo greeted with a smile.

"Third sister, look what big brother brought back? A half-jiao dragon body!"

Jiang Che dragged the blood-stained half-jiao dragon body in front of Nangong Luo, saying proudly.

"Chirp!"

Xiao Zi also proudly presented the Dragon Blood Fruit in its arms to Nangong Luo, displaying a look of pride.

Seeing the half-jiao dragon body, Nangong Luo remained calm, having learned about it through the live stream.

But when she saw the Dragon Blood Fruit in Xiao Zi's arms, her eyes lit up, feeling very excited inside.

With these Dragon Blood Fruits, her strength would surely advance to the next level.

"Thank you, big brother, for going through all the trouble to get the Dragon Blood Fruit for me!"

Nangong Luo expressed her gratitude.

"We're siblings, after all, this is nothing. Unfortunately, there were only a few fruits left on the Dragon Blood Ancient Tree when I got there!"

Jiang Che shook his head, saying regretfully.

"Big brother, the medicinal power of each Dragon Blood Fruit is astonishingly strong. I actually don't need so many; maybe just one or two could ensure my breakthrough."

Nangong Luo explained with a bitter smile, as her big brother seemed to think the Dragon Blood Fruit was as common as cabbage.

"That'll do."

Jiang Che nodded in satisfaction.

With cultivation resources in hand, next would naturally be to consume and cultivate.

"Third sister, all these are yours, strive to break through as soon as possible!"

Jiang Che pushed the half-jiao body and seven Dragon Blood Fruits in front of Nangong Luo.

"Big brother…"

Nangong Luo was moved, not expecting her brother to give her everything.

"No need for sentimentality, just hurry up and consume, improving your cultivation level is more important."

Jiang Che urged, as he acknowledged the emotions of gratitude within Nangong Luo.

Then, under Jiang Che's protection, Nangong Luo began to devour the half-jiao body, operating her cultivation technique while swallowing the jiao meat and activating her Spiritual Power.

After a short period, only a long white bone remained from the half-jiao body under Nangong Luo's gnawing.

The Spiritual Power and Blood Qi within the jiao meat were quickly absorbed and refined by Nangong Luo, her cultivation level visibly surged, reaching the peak of Tier Three, only a step away from entering Tier Four.

Feeling the surging Spiritual Power in her body that was only present at the peak of Tier Three, Nangong Luo felt joyful, as this half-jiao offered great benefits, even more useful than half a month of Spirit Fruit consumption.

"Sigh, had I known earlier, I should've followed big brother, then I wouldn't let second brother take advantage."

Enjoying the benefits brought by the jiao body, Nangong Luo couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

That damned second brother!

However, Nangong Luo knew now wasn't the time for idle thoughts, breaking through her cultivation level was most important.

She repressed her displeasure towards the second brother, set her sights on the Dragon Blood Fruit in front of her, and continued!

The next moment, Nangong Luo swallowed one Dragon Blood Fruit.

Boom!

The Dragon Blood Fruit melted instantly, like dew flowing down her throat, the surging medicinal power spread through Nangong Luo's body in an instant.

Feeling the rampant medicinal power in her body like a wild bull, Nangong Luo dared not hesitate, hurriedly operating her cultivation technique to refine it.

As the medicinal power was swiftly refined, her originally maxed-out Spiritual Power was enhanced again, a vast river of Spiritual Power surged toward her boundary barrier.

Boom!

The barrier shattered instantly, like a dam burst by a flood. In an instant, Nangong Luo's aura shifted dramatically, an overpowering pressure sweeping in all directions.

"Ding, target bound Nangong Luo's cultivation level breakthrough, congratulations to the host for receiving tenfold feedback!"

With a system prompt, a massive amount of Spiritual Power flooded from the void into Jiang Che's body.

Jiang Che, already prepared, adeptly absorbed the Spiritual Power into his own Demon Pill, as his cultivation level began a gentle ascent.

By the time Jiang Che fully refined the Spiritual Power rewarded by the system, his cultivation level had reached the peak of Tier Five, the aura naturally emanating from him was unfathomable, like an abyss.

"Roar!"

He slowly opened his eyes, letting out a hearty roar!

He was just a step away from Tier Six.

"Even after reaching Tier Four, in big brother's presence, I'm still so small."

Nangong Luo, having awoken from her breakthrough, felt a chill run through her body as she sensed the aura radiating from her big brother, unable to suppress a sigh of awe.

The next day

Nangong Luo continued her usual practice, soaking in the Cyan Stone Pool, while Jiang Che lounged comfortably asleep nearby.

"Ding, target bound Fang Yuan's cultivation level breakthrough, congratulations to the host for receiving tenfold feedback!"

A system prompt instantly woke Jiang Che.

"Again?"

That second brother, he's as reliable as ever!
