“Yes, yes, yes, my Myriad Treasures Pavilion has everything,” Pang Dahai said, not forgetting to hold up two fingers.
“Fifty Spirit Stones per plant.
How many do you want?”
“Th-that expensive?”
“If you want a lot, I can give you a discount,” Pang Dahai said, pinching the small tuft of beard on his chin.
He didn’t forget to wink at Ye Chen.
“Of course, it’s only cheaper if you buy at least fifty plants.”
Hearing this, Ye Chen slammed Wei Yang’s Storage Bag onto the counter with a clang and asked, “Elder, how many Spirit Stones do you think the items inside are worth?”
“Yo, judging by the weight of this Storage Bag, it’s not light!” As he spoke, Pang Dahai had already opened the Storage Bag wide.
He peeked inside, then glanced at Ye Chen.
“Tell me, did you rob that kid Wei Yang?”
Hearing Pang Dahai say this, Ye Chen was slightly taken aback.
“Elder, you can tell even that?”
“That’s a must,” Pang Dahai said, pulling a jade pendant and a glowing bead from the Storage Bag.
“See this?
He just bought these yesterday.”
Uh!
Ye Chen couldn’t help but rub the tip of his nose.
Pang Dahai didn’t ask further.
He took out a small abacus and bowed his head to calculate the value of the items in the Storage Bag.
Finally, he said, “Adding up all the odds and ends, it’s worth about nine hundred Spirit Stones.
Do you want to sell?”
“Sell,” Ye Chen said, handing over the Storage Bag containing his Spirit Stones.
“Add these in, and it should be enough for two thousand Spirit Stones.
Exchange it all for snow jade orchid flowers for me.”
“snow jade orchid flowers?” Pang Dahai was stunned.
“What do you need so many snow jade orchid flowers for?”
“To make soup.”
“Consider me as having never asked.” Saying this, Pang Dahai walked inside.
Soon, he came out carrying a Storage Bag and handed it to Ye Chen.
“I’ll gift you ten plants, so that’s fifty plants total.”
“Thank you, Elder.” Ye Chen took the Storage Bag, then leaned in slightly and asked, “Elder, do you know which direction of the Hengyue Sect’s back mountain has the most snow jade orchid flowers growing?”
“There aren’t many in any direction.
Although the snow jade orchid flower isn’t very precious, it is an essential Spirit Herb for refining jade spirit liquid.
The ones on the back mountain are all wild, and their quantity is extremely limited.”
“Is that so!” Ye Chen rubbed his chin and muttered softly, “No wonder it’s hard to find on the back mountain; it turns out these snow jade orchid flowers are controlled by the Sect!”
Thinking of the Spirit Herb Garden, Ye Chen immediately dismissed the idea; that place was not somewhere just anyone could approach.
Thinking this to himself, Ye Chen was about to turn and leave, but was stopped by Pang Dahai.
“Does the Elder still have business?”
Pang Dahai rubbed his plump palms together and winked at Ye Chen.
“Little Fellow, do you have any more Bloodthirsty Pills?”
“Bloodthirsty Pills?” Ye Chen was slightly stunned, then gently shook his head.
“That bottle of Bloodthirsty Pills was something I obtained by chance; I don’t have any more.”
Hearing this, Pang Dahai looked somewhat regretful.
His expression piqued Ye Chen’s curiosity.
“Elder, what is the origin of those Bloodthirsty Pills, and why do you want them?”
“The origin of the Bloodthirsty Pills is huge.” When mentioning the Bloodthirsty Pills, Pang Dahai became interested.
“They are something only people from the Bloodthirsty Hall would have.
You’ve heard of the Bloodthirsty Hall, right?
That behemoth in the north of Great Chu.”
“Bloodthirsty Hall.” Ye Chen frowned slightly and muttered, “Was that Hunchbacked Old Man a person from the Bloodthirsty Hall?”
“The Bloodthirsty Pills are highly toxic, but in a certain sense, they are also a great tonic.
Sigh…
there was only one bottle; what a pity.” Pang Dahai muttered, leaving Ye Chen feeling somewhat confused.
Finally glancing at Pang Dahai, Ye Chen walked out of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion in contemplation, thinking to himself that if he had known the value of the Bloodthirsty Pills earlier, he definitely would not have given them to Pang Dahai so easily.
After exiting the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, Ye Chen walked quickly and plunged into the Hengyue Sect’s back mountain, frantically collecting the Spirit Herbs needed to refine jade spirit liquid.
Meanwhile, on Tianyang Peak.
When Old Daoist Zhong saw the crippled Wei Yang being carried onto Tianyang Peak, he almost fell off his chair.
“That Little Child Ye Chen, his strikes are too ruthless.”
“Master, Ye Chen has bullied our Tianyang Peak too much.
Another day, I will go and meet him.
I don’t believe that a mere Qi Condensation First Level can turn the world upside down.”
“Let the Disciples of that old guy Ge Hong from Diyang Peak test the waters first!
This kid Ye Chen is too strange.”
Night fell, and in a hidden cave in the Hengyue Sect’s back mountain, a golden light was still shining.
Beside the furnace, Ye Chen was already drenched in sweat.
Ever since he finished collecting the Spirit Herbs, he had been refining jade spirit liquid without stopping for a moment.
By now, he had successfully refined over thirty bottles of jade spirit liquid.
Although there were some failures along the way, his success rate was rising steadily.
Ye Chen stayed there for three days.
Excluding the failures, this was his achievement over the past three days.
Hu!
Breathing out a turbid breath, Ye Chen poured a bottle of jade spirit liquid into his mouth.
The spirit liquid was like spiritual medicine, flowing through his entire body like a clear spring, nourishing his body and replenishing his consumption.
Soon, bottle after bottle of jade spirit liquid was poured into his mouth, until all twenty-plus bottles of jade spirit liquid had been consumed by him, leaving none behind.
If someone were here, they would definitely be terrified.
The jade spirit liquid contained immense spiritual power; drinking a whole bottle carried the danger of bursting one’s Dantian.
Even Disciples at the Qi Condensation Seventh Level would not dare to drink a whole bottle in one go.
Yet he, on the other hand, drank twenty bottles in one breath.
This was the domineering nature of the dantian sea; its massive capacity was sufficient to contain the immense spiritual power contained in over twenty bottles of jade spirit liquid.
Coupled with the True Fire’s refining, the conditions were simply exceptionally advantageous.
Over twenty bottles of jade spirit liquid entered his body and were forcefully refined by the True Fire, causing Ye Chen’s entire body to steam with heat.
Every Meridian and every pore was overflowing with pure True Qi.
The dantian sea, filled with True Qi, shimmered with brilliant golden radiance.
Pop!
I don’t know when, but it seemed like such a sound resonated from the void.
breakthrough!
After only a few days, Ye Chen broke through his Realm again.
“Qi Condensation Third Level.
Now, I have the capital to confront the Human Origin Realm head-on.” Clenching his fists and feeling the powerful force within them, a smile could not help but appear on the corners of Ye Chen’s mouth.
The night Sky was deep, and the broken stars were like dust.
Having refined jade spirit liquid for three days, Ye Chen walked out of the cave for the first time.
Eh?
Just after walking out of the cave, Ye Chen saw a white light flying from the distance.
It was extremely fast, streaking across the Sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“What was that?” Taking a final look at the direction the white light streaked across, Ye Chen muttered softly, then turned around.
Rustle!
Rustle!
Soon, the sound of rustling came from the lush jungle, and a gust of wind blew by, carrying a refreshing feminine fragrance.
Subsequently, a beautiful figure arrived like the wind.
She was elegant and refined, bathed in moonlight, pure and flawless, like Fairy Bibo, unstained by the dust of the mortal world.
Looking closely at this person, wasn’t it Chu Linger?
More accurately, it was Chu Linger’s sister, Chu Xuaner.
