Are You Good At Fighting Or Good In Bed?
……
On the other side, after Ye Chen fled into the mountain forest, he continued to run wildly for a day and a night before finding a hidden place to rest.
However, he quickly discovered something was wrong. The Ten Thousand Spirit Valley was rich in spiritual energy, with various plants towering into the sky. He encountered many spiritual medicines along the way, but strangely, there were no animals or demon beasts?
This clearly violates common sense!
Forget demon beasts and animals; Ye Chen didn’t even see a single insect. It was as if the entire Ten Thousand Spirit Valley was a Life Forbidden Zone?
Could it be because of that Black Water Lake?
After much deliberation, Ye Chen only came up with this one possibility.
“Brother Cauldron, what do you know about that Black Water Lake?” With no other option, Ye Chen summoned the Devouring Immortal Cauldron.
“Nothing. And I didn’t see the big ship and the beauty you mentioned either.”
The Devouring Immortal Cauldron answered directly, giving Ye Chen an unexpected answer.
“But I do have some memory of the karma the youth spoke of. However, my memory is fragmented now; piecing it together proves nothing and I can’t give you an accurate answer.”
Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn’t help but feel somewhat disappointed, but dwelling on this issue now was clearly useless.
The most important thing now was to quickly improve his cultivation, strive to recover the Devouring Immortal Cauldron early, and resolve all the Heavenly Dao Seals!
Thinking of this, Ye Chen no longer wasted time. He quickly found a mountain cave, set up several layers of arrays around the outside, and then calmly sat down to cultivate.
Once again using the Spirit Ring, Ye Chen almost couldn’t believe his cultivation speed. Coupled with the rich spiritual energy surrounding him, it was simply amazing!
Actually, when he first stepped into the Ten Thousand Spirit Valley, Ye Chen had considered cultivating. However, being unfamiliar with the area, he had delayed it to avoid potential dangers.
Now that he had entered the Great Ascension Realm, he could clearly feel that his cultivation speed was much slower than before, no longer like the rapid progress he experienced in the past.
However, this was also good. He could steadily cultivate step by step, firmly establishing his cultivation foundation, so that he could avoid many detours when he later impacted the Great Ascension.
Ye Chen had read in many ancient texts that many Void Realm Great Perfection experts had fallen on the eve of Great Ascension because of unstable foundations and unsteady Dao Hearts.
This kind of thing must absolutely not happen to him.
Soon, half a day passed. When Ye Chen opened his eyes in the cave, it was already dark outside.
“In half a day, I only went from the Seventh Level to the Eighth Level. This cultivation speed is indeed much slower,” Ye Chen muttered to himself.
This was partly due to the Three-Pill Body Transformation. The spiritual power Ye Chen needed to improve his realm was three times that of ordinary cultivators, or even more.
However, when he felt the boundless Sea of Consciousness within his body, those negative emotions immediately vanished without a trace.
Although Ye Chen currently only had the Eighth Level of the Great Ascension Realm cultivation, if he were to fight, ordinary Void Realm Experts might not be his opponents.
After checking the surroundings to ensure safety, Ye Chen did not plan to continue cultivating. Instead, he took out the Nine-Needle Purple Spirit Flower.
One plant with two fruits, each with five hundred years’ worth of medicinal power, just enough to condense two portions of essence.
These pure essence spirit liquids might be useless to ordinary people, but Ye Chen, who cultivated the Great Dao Undying Body, could directly absorb them to enhance himself.
Of course, such usage would be a waste, and Ye Chen didn’t need it now, so he would leave it for those Heavenly Dao Seniors.
With that in mind, Ye Chen took out the Black Cauldron and without hesitation threw the entire Nine-Needle Purple Spirit Flower inside.
Shortly after, two refined portions of spirit liquid floated out, filling the surroundings with a fragrant aroma. The medicinal fragrance alone was invigorating and refreshing.
However, just as Ye Chen took out two jade bottles from his Spirit Ring, intending to store the spirit liquid, a root quickly reached the liquid and began to absorb it greedily.
Ye Chen then remembered that there was also a Spirit Root Fruit in his ring!
“What are you doing?!”
Ye Chen decisively acted, pulling the root away and even pulling out the entire Spirit Root Fruit.
“I only had a couple of sips of your spirit liquid. Was it necessary to get so excited?”
The Spirit Root Fruit clearly disagreed and didn’t forget to absorb the remaining spirit liquid on its root.
“A couple of sips? Half the spirit liquid is gone, and you call that a couple of sips?”
Ye Chen rolled his eyes, wanting to chop it in half! He himself didn’t dare use it, yet the Spirit Root Fruit got to eat it first.
Saying this, Ye Chen reached out as if he were really going to tear the Spirit Root Fruit in half.
This scared it badly. It quickly begged for mercy: “Don’t! Big Brother! Let’s talk this over! There’s no need to get so angry…”
“Besides, isn’t this mutually beneficial? Didn’t you also use my roots before?”
The Spirit Root Fruit’s words were true. Ye Chen had indeed used the Spirit Root Fruit’s roots to refine Seventh Grade Pills, but it was purely out of interest. He had intended the pills for those Heavenly Dao Seniors, but they didn’t need them, so he still had them.
“No,” Ye Chen thought again. He had already removed the restrictions on the Spirit Root Fruit. Why hadn’t it left yet?
“Why aren’t you leaving? I have no use for you.”
If the Spirit Root Fruit didn’t have spiritual sense, Ye Chen would have already refined it. Why would he let this spiritual medicine remain until now?
“Leave? Where to? If I run out on my own, I might be refined by someone someday. It’s better to stay by your side.”
The Spirit Root Fruit spoke matter-of-factly, as if it were going to cling to Ye Chen.
“That’s still not right. Where’s my Seventh Grade Pill?”
Ye Chen searched his Spirit Ring with his spiritual sense and immediately discovered something was wrong.
Although he didn’t personally refine the Seventh Grade Pill, Ye Chen had spent a lot of effort gathering the materials.
He had planned to keep it for later use, but now it was gone. Even if he had a good temper, his anger surged.
“Damn it! You ate it again, didn’t you?”
Ye Chen immediately locked onto the target, almost about to devour the Spirit Root Fruit on the spot.
“Misunderstanding! Big Brother! It’s all a misunderstanding! I can explain!”
The Spirit Root Fruit quickly begged for mercy; a second’s delay would cost it its life.
“I didn’t know it was a Seventh Grade Pill. I just felt it exuded a strong spiritual energy, and since I was idle, I ate it. It also made up for my losses.”
The more the Spirit Root Fruit spoke, the darker Ye Chen’s complexion became. It quickly changed its tune: “I… I can compensate! Big Brother! I can compensate!”
“Compensation?”
Hearing these words, Ye Chen slightly raised an eyebrow. Although it was only a Spirit Root Fruit, it had lived for so long, so perhaps it had something useful for him.
“Yes! Compensation!” Seeing Ye Chen’s interest, the Spirit Root Fruit knew it had a chance and quickly approached.
“I can stay with you forever, be your ox and horse! Be your servant!”
“What use would I have for you? Can you fight or work?” Ye Chen immediately retorted.
