"Oh! I think I've read about this somewhere, it seems familiar! But I can't recall where I saw it."
Fortunately, Chen Bei wasn't foolish and managed to laugh it off with the Mistress of Furong Peak.
"Hurry up with your Body Tempering and Transcendence. The Jade Pool will be beneficial for your tempering. Absorb the Fiery Yang freely!"
"Thank you, Mistress of Furong Peak!"
Without further ado, Chen Bei turned and re-entered the Jade Pool.
After giving her instructions, the Mistress of Furong Peak also left the Jade Pool.
Now, in the vast Jade Pool, only Chen Bei and Qin Lan, who was quietly reciting the Spirit-Guiding Art, remained.
"Damn, this is the Yang-Gathering Art for cultivating a furnace by female cultivators!
No wonder Yuyun Palace is so strange!
It seems the Palace Master, that old witch, has her eyes on my Dominant Yang Essence! Damn it, is she planning to drain me?"
This place is not safe to stay.
In his previous life, Chen Bei might not have had much experience in the martial world, but he had a broad knowledge of various arts.
As soon as he heard the Rising Sun Art, he immediately knew its purpose.
It gathers the essence of the body at the dragon root for others to harvest.
Those unaware might think practicing this art would make them invincible.
But he knew that once drained by the Yang-Exhausting Art, death was inevitable!
Seeing the Mistress of Furong Peak leave, Chen Bei immediately swam towards Qin Lan.
Chen Bei was in a dilemma.
If he could achieve Transcendence and open his Dantian, he was ninety percent sure he could escape.

But as for Qin Lan, he had no solution.
"Xiao Lan!"
Seeing Chen Bei approach, Qin Lan shyly curled up.
However, seeing no one else around, she quickly told Chen Bei what she knew.
"Chen... Chen Bei! This place seems to practice some evil art!
I heard from my senior sister that we practice the art of absorbing Yang through love, absorbing men's essence to enhance our power.
And... and those men die after being drained!"
"Ugh..."
"Chen Bei, are you going to die soon? The senior sisters said the Palace Master has her eyes on you!"
Xiao Lan said, throwing herself into Chen Bei's arms, sobbing.
This naked girl throwing herself into his arms made Chen Bei's heart stir.
But now wasn't the time for such thoughts, so Chen Bei swallowed hard.
He gently patted Qin Lan's smooth back and comforted her softly: "Shh! Xiao Lan, don't worry. I know everything you've said, and I'll find a way to get you out of here.
Until I take you away, just pretend you know nothing and cooperate with their training!
You're a disciple they value, they won't make things difficult for you!"
"Okay!"
Qin Lan felt a sense of peace as she lay in Chen Bei's arms.
Being exposed like this to Chen Bei made her feel shy, but she didn't resist at all.
"Alright, Xiao Lan, continue your training. I'll think of a way. Don't let your cheap master notice anything!"
"Okay!"
Qin Lan wiped her tears, released Chen Bei, and obediently continued reciting the Spirit-Guiding Art.
Chen Bei calmed himself and began to seriously examine the place.
There was no need to think; the Mistress of Furong Peak was surely outside.
Running away directly was impossible.
And this Jade Pool was deep beneath the Jade Cloud Selection Hall, with not even a window, making escape incredibly difficult.
"The Flame Spring of the Earth Veins! Yes! The Flame Spring of the Earth Veins!
Such a large pool of flame spring must be connected underground.
There must be a way out through the Earth Vein!
The Fiery Yang in the Flame Spring of the Earth Veins is sufficient to support my Dominant Yang Divine Physique, allowing me to hold my breath for several hours. I should be able to find another spring to exit.
But what about Xiao Lan? With her physique, she might only last a few breaths.
If only..."
Suddenly, Chen Bei seemed to think of something, and his face turned awkward.
But having thought of a solution, Chen Bei's heart was in turmoil, as if a hundred claws were scratching at it.
What an experience, Chen Bei really wanted to know.
It was easy; Chen Bei quickly found a spiritual array controlling a spring at the bottom of the Jade Pool.
Such a simple array for controlling water flow was like nothing to Chen Bei.
Of course, no one in the entire Yuyun Palace would have thought someone would enter the Earth Vein from the Jade Pool.
The concentration of Fiery Yang in the Earth Vein, going down there? Isn't that courting death?
"Xiao Lan, I've thought of a way! We can definitely escape! But..."
"What is it, Chen Bei? If there's a way, why are you hesitating?"
Qin Lan was happy to hear they could escape, but seeing Chen Bei's expression, he seemed more embarrassed.
"We can follow the Flame Spring of the Earth Veins into the Earth Vein and find another spring to exit!"
"Flame Spring of the Earth Veins? What's the Earth Vein?"
Qin Lan, having little knowledge, couldn't understand what Chen Bei was saying.
"Uh, it's just that this Jade Pool is connected underground. We can follow this spring to find another way out!"
"Underground? Won't we suffocate underwater?"
"This..."
Finally, they reached the crucial issue, leaving the self-proclaimed gentleman Chen Bei at a loss for words.
"Xiao Lan, this is the only way, but I don't know if you're willing to try."
"Chen Bei, the person I trust most is you. As long as you say it, I'll definitely do it."
"Well, it's just that my Dominant Yang Divine Physique has been activated before coming here.
I can use the Dragon Vein to transfer Dominant Yang Primal Force to help you resist the pressure and suffocation of the Flame Spring of the Earth Veins.
I estimate holding your breath for several hours won't be a problem.
When you feel uncomfortable in the Earth Vein, just take a breath!
This is the only way to escape now!"
Caw... Caw...
A crow flew past, and as the two faced each other, the air suddenly became silent.
"What are you two doing if you're not focusing on your training?"
An untimely voice came.
The Mistress of Furong Peak entered to check on their training progress.
Unexpectedly, seeing the two so close made her uneasy.
Qin Lan was a Spiritual Body, destined to achieve twice the result with half the effort in her future training.
If she lost her virginity before Transcendence, it would all be for nothing.
Moreover, Chen Bei's Yang Essence was a treasure for the Palace Master to extend her life.
"Training... training!"
Chen Bei immediately swam away.
And Qin Lan mustered the courage to say to Chen Bei, "I'm willing!"
Then she calmed down and continued reciting the Spirit-Guiding Art.
Chen Bei stumbled in the water, choking on a mouthful.
The Mistress of Furong Peak stayed for several days and nights, not leaving.
Seeing the two fully immersed in their training, and Qin Lan successfully entering the first level of Body Tempering, she was satisfied and left once again.
It seemed her presence here was indeed unnecessary.
Chen Bei waited for several hours before swimming back to Qin Lan.

"Hiss..."
Chen Bei took a sharp breath.
Once out of the Flame Spring of the Earth Veins, they would escape Yuyun Palace and regain their freedom.
As long as they could escape, he would return one day to raze this place to the ground.
The two, connected as one, silently passed through the spiritual array controlling the spring water.
They flowed against the current, entering the dark and turbulent Earth Vein.
But the Flame Spring of the Earth Veins was far from what Chen Bei had anticipated.
