“What secret technique did you use? You can fight a king,” Ye Jingyun asked Ye Chu curiously. With Ye Chu’s battle record this time, it was enough to make his name known.
“Give me your spatial device and I will tell you,” Ye Chu said with a smile as he looked at Ye Jingyun. He greatly desired the spatial device.
“Dream on,” Ye Jingyun replied without thinking. With a spatial device everything would be much more convenient. How could she possibly give it to Ye Chu?
“Then do not ask me. Also, stay away from me in the future. Be careful or I might lose control and force myself on you,” Ye Chu said while staring at Ye Jingyun. “A king’s strength should be enough to handle you, right?”
“If you dare then try it,” Ye Jingyun snorted coldly. She was not afraid of Ye Chu.
Ye Chu wondered if he had been too gentle lately, so he no longer had any deterrence towards women. Ye Jingyun actually dared to look down on him like this.
“A gentleman does not fight with women,” Ye Chu muttered. Amid the secret laughter of Yang Hui and Yang Ning, his gaze fell on the backpack. He opened it.
Ye Jingyun stared at the large amount of Qingyuan pills and her eyes went straight. She looked at Ye Chu in a daze. “The Axe King fought you because you stole his Qingyuan pills?”
“You are not stupid after all.”
Ye Chu’s admission made Ye Jingyun curse loudly. Earlier she had wondered how Ye Chu had provoked the Axe King. She had not expected this. She thought Ye Chu really wanted pills more than his life.
But when she saw that both backpacks were full of Qingyuan pills, she could not help feeling great joy in her heart. “Two full bags of Qingyuan pills. There must be four or five thousand pills. But since you went to steal them, why did you not steal more?”
Ye Jingyun was extremely excited and forgot that she had just scolded Ye Chu for courting death.
Ye Chu directly ignored Ye Jingyun and said to Yang Ning, “You have been tempered in the Dragon Blood Lake and your qi sea has also been opened. I am afraid you will need to consume a large amount of Qingyuan pills to fill your qi sea with spiritual energy. If you need them, you can use them.”
“I want some too,” Ye Jingyun said while staring at Ye Chu. “You would not only take care of the two beauties Yang Ning and Yang Hui and ignore me, right? That would be favouring beauties over friends. No, that would be heartless and disloyal.”
“What friendship do I have with you,” Ye Chu said with a laugh. “Besides I have always been lecherous. Favouring beauties over friends is only natural.”
“Scoundrel,” Ye Jingyun did not care about any of that and directly grabbed a handful of Qingyuan pills.
Ye Chu naturally would not really stop Ye Jingyun from using them. Seeing her taking pills beside him, Ye Chu sighed. He had originally thought four or five thousand Qingyuan pills would be enough, but with Ye Jingyun and Yang Ning added it was probably just about right.
“It is a pity there is no spatial device. If there was, I could have stolen more at that time. Ten thousand pills would have been no problem,” Ye Chu muttered. There were more than twenty thousand Qingyuan pills in that storehouse. Stealing half would not have been an issue.
The four of them took the pills and the Qingyuan pills were consumed very quickly. This made even Ye Chu feel heartache. He had finally acted as a robber and become rich once, yet he had not expected to return to square one so soon.
Four or five thousand pills. He did not know if it would be enough for them to reach their peak.
After Ye Chu recovered his body, he also began taking pills. He had already reached the peak of the eighth level of the Yuan Spirit realm. What he lacked to step into the ninth level was only spiritual energy.
With the Qingyuan pills supplementing him now, this was no longer a problem.
Ye Chu kept taking pills. The power in his body kept increasing, his qi sea churned, and its density continued to grow.
Along the way, Ye Chu had experienced extraordinary things and transformed many times. Logically he should have reached the ninth level of the Yuan Spirit realm long ago. Now with the supplement from the Qingyuan pills, everything fell into place naturally.
Ye Chu swallowed the Qingyuan pills like beans. This left Ye Jingyun dumbfounded. Although Ye Chu was miraculous, the medicinal effect of the Qingyuan pills was also astonishing. Swallowing pills at such a fast speed, could his body and qi sea withstand it?
Ye Chu’s pill swallowing speed became faster and faster. In a short time he had consumed several hundred pills and he advanced from the eighth level of the Xiantian realm to the ninth level of the Xiantian realm.
Three or four hundred Qingyuan pills only allowed him to advance one level. Was his qi sea so vast that the required spiritual energy was this terrifying?
Ye Jingyun’s expression was shocked. What value and medicinal effect did three or four hundred Qingyuan pills have? This was comparable to three or four hundred thousand Lingyuan pills. If an ordinary cultivator took them, even someone in the Xuanming realm would have their qi sea burst and their body explode.
After Ye Chu stepped into the ninth level of the Yuan Spirit realm, his strength continued to increase. He swallowed pills like beans. One after another, Ye Chu’s aura grew stronger.
Ye Chu’s qi sea had been greatly widened by the dragon blood, but it was still some distance from Ye Jingyun’s. Even Ye Jingyun, when advancing from the eighth to the ninth level, definitely did not need so many Qingyuan pills. The reason Ye Chu needed so many was because the spiritual energy in his qi sea was true essence. Converting spiritual energy into true essence naturally required twice as many Qingyuan pills.
……
Ye Jingyun watched as Ye Chu swallowed the pills one by one and felt his aura constantly increasing. Soon Ye Chu reached the peak of the ninth level of the Yuan Spirit realm.
At this level, Ye Chu was still continuously taking pills. This made Ye Jingyun’s eyes light up. She stared straight at Ye Chu and thought, could Ye Chu be trying to break through to the Xuanming realm this time?
The Xuanming realm was another level. If Ye Chu could reach it, he would definitely undergo an extraordinary transformation. Especially for a chosen one, reaching the Xuanming realm would open up a whole new world. Perhaps Ye Chu could use this chance to perceive another true intent.
Ye Jingyun stared at Ye Chu with some expectation that he could take that step.
With so many Qingyuan pills available, there was no need to worry about the spiritual energy for breaking through. The only question was whether Ye Chu could cross the bottleneck of the Yuan Spirit realm.
Ye Jingyun, Yang Hui and Yang Ning all stopped taking pills and stared at Ye Chu with burning eyes.
They had all seen Ye Chu fight two chosen ones alone. Now he was attacking the Xuanming realm. If he broke through, no one knew what kind of scene it would be.
All three of them began to look forward to it. They just did not know whether Ye Chu had the comprehension to break through.
Ye Chu had reached the peak of the ninth level of the Yuan Spirit realm. At this moment his spiritual energy was full and his qi sea was vibrating as if it had reached its limit. But Ye Chu knew that if his realm broke through, his qi sea could still madly devour spiritual energy.
Ye Chu kept taking pills. Each pill turned into spiritual energy and merged into his body. Ye Chu was like a bucket being filled with water. The spiritual energy inside became deeper and deeper, so deep that it seemed as if it would burst out in the next instant.
But Ye Chu touched that layer of membrane yet could not pierce it. He was blocked outside the Xuanming realm.
“Ye Chu, the Xuanming realm cannot be broken through with brute force. You must comprehend it with your heart. This is a realm of another level. Only when the Yuan Spirit is sublimated is it possible to step into that realm,” Ye Jingyun reminded Ye Chu, telling him that continuing to swallow Qingyuan pills was useless. The Xuanming realm could seize lifespan from heaven and earth. The most important thing was comprehension of the realm.
