Boarding Life

Chapter 701 701

Wan Huarou's red lips parted slightly, "I'm acting under my father's orders to lead someone into the Cold Sea Cavern today!"

"Ah?" Several gatekeepers exchanged glances, "Miss, we haven't received any orders from the Family Head!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qi had already guessed the situation.

Could this girl be planning to sneak him in?

After all, a place the Wan Family treasures so dearly, even Wan Huarou couldn't easily bring someone in.

However, Wan Huarou seemed prepared.

She took out a jade token from her sleeve.

The jade token was exquisitely crafted, and the material was of extraordinary quality, "You can see it too, this is the token my father always carries with him. Seeing the token is like seeing him in person!"

Still, the gatekeepers were not entirely convinced, "Miss, according to the usual rules, the Family Head himself must be present to allow entry."

Wan Huarou snorted coldly, "My father is dealing with an emergency today, so he can't come. What's the matter, you don't trust my words?"

"Moreover, you can just make a call to my father and ask him, right?"

The gatekeepers, still uneasy, attempted to call the Family Head of the Wan Family.

However, the call was made several times but remained unanswered.

"Alright, I've told you, my father is busy with urgent affairs, otherwise, why else would he send me?" Wan Huarou said irritably.

Seeing this, the gatekeepers were about seventy to eighty percent convinced.

After all, Wan Huarou's identity was extraordinary, and they stopped overthinking, "Alright, Miss, we'll let the two of you inside."

Upon hearing this, Wan Huarou glanced at Qin Qi and displayed a smug expression.

Soon after, under the gatekeepers' guidance, the two reached the deepest part surrounded by fences.

Inside, there was surprisingly a cave.

The cave had an ancient door built into it, and there was a group of people specifically guarding it.

"Open the door, Miss is here in person, and she has the Family Head's token."

After a brief discussion,

Approximately five gatekeepers worked together, channeling large amounts of mana into the door, which gradually opened.

A gatekeeper stepped forward, "Please, Miss. However, you know the rules; each person can only cultivate inside for up to three days. After three days, regardless of the outcome, we must reopen the door!"

Wan Huarou waved her fair hand, "I know the rules, no need to remind me!"

With that, Wan Huarou quickly pulled Qin Qi's hand and hurried inside, fearing the gatekeepers might spot any flaws or tricks.

Once inside, the door was securely shut again.

Qin Qi began descending the stairs.

The deeper he went, the more he felt the temperature drop sharply.

"Damn, it's so cold..."

His eyes widened, "It's freaking freezing; feels like it's way below thirty or forty degrees Celsius!"

As they reached the end, the two entered a roughly twenty-meter-wide area, seemingly the cave's lowest point.

By the time they reached here, the falling temperature left Qin Qi speechless.

He had to constantly maintain his True Qi Protection, or the cold would easily turn him into an ice sculpture!

"Though..."

Qin Qi took a deep breath, "Such dense Air Essence!"

He had previously felt the place with the most dense Air Essence was the ancient temple that had suppressed Duan Meng.

Second to that was the Martial Arts District!

However, the cavern's Air Essence was dozens of times richer than that ancient temple.

Maintaining her Protective True Qi, Wan Huarou quickly spoke, "Knowing how dense the Air Essence is, aren't you going to absorb it quickly? Absorb as much as you can, hurry!"

Qin Qi chuckled, guessing some things, but still said, "Why the rush? Didn't you say we have three days?"

"What are you thinking? This jade token is something I sneaked out!" Wan Huarou retorted grumpily.

Qin Qi replied, half amused, "Then why couldn't we reach your father earlier?"

Wan Huarou rolled her eyes, "That's because my father is cultivating his technique, I took this chance to turn off his phone and sneak out the jade token."

"Otherwise, do you think I could bring you in? From now on, cultivate as long as you can, because once my father finds out, he'll drag us out on the spot!"

Qin Qi's mouth twitched slightly.

He knew Wan Huarou was deceiving those gatekeepers.

He just didn't expect her to go so all out!

He said, amusedly, "You're really your dad's little precious!"

"How dare you say that!" Wan Huarou harrumphed twice, "I'm doing all this for you, don't you see? Hum, just take in the Air Essence around you, then you'll understand whether to choose me or Gu Xiaoyou."

Honestly, although Qin Qi never considered himself a particularly good person, he felt somewhat embarrassed now.

But now that they were inside, there was no turning back.

He immediately found a spot to sit and began rapidly absorbing the potent Air Essence.

"This Air Essence is incredibly dense, no wonder the Wan Family allows only two people a year inside, and even then, for only up to three days of cultivation." Qin Qi thought, "Just a short while of cultivation feels like it equals several outside days."

The mysterious woman spoke lazily, "Heh, but the real wonder here isn't the Air Essence!"

Qin Qi looked puzzled, "Huh? It's not the Air Essence? Then what is it?"

The mysterious woman spoke with deep sentiment, "I must say, the Wan Family found quite the place; the true essence of this place lies in the modified cold air!"

"What do you mean? Modified cold air?" Qin Qi asked, puzzled.

The mysterious woman replied slowly, "Yes, if I'm not mistaken, this cavern has been specially modified with an Array, created by a highly skilled Array Master!"

"With the modification from this Array, the cold air's stimulation of the body's internal organs and skin significantly increases. It is precisely this stimulation that rapidly boosts one's cultivation!"

"However, this stimulation also means you can only cultivate inside for a maximum of three days to gain optimum benefits. Beyond three days, even if you return years later, it won't provide any benefits or help!"

Qin Qi was astonished, "You're saying such rapid cultivation isn't due to the Air Essence?"

The mysterious woman chuckled lightly, "At first, I was also puzzled because, even with the densest Air Essence, it's impossible to gain such quick cultivation improvements. After all, no matter how dense the Air Essence, the body can't absorb it instantly. It still takes time!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't the Wan Family be invincible in the Martial Arts District? Continuously producing countless masters?"
