Chapter 127: Breakthrough!

“System feedback: One hundred top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills!”

This gift, without a doubt, triggered a critical reward. What started as one high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill had turned into one hundred top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.

Perfect!

Ye Chen thought for a moment. Now, with the addition of these new pills, he had a total of one hundred and thirty top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills. Even with his poor spiritual root, the sheer number would nullify that disadvantage. It was secure now!

He gently wrapped his arm around Yao Xi’s slender waist. The curve of her waist only made her full moon figure even more pronounced.

“I’ve obtained the Earth-Dao Foundation Establishment method, but I plan to use it for my own breakthrough,” Ye Chen said.

Yao Xi immediately smiled. “That’s great! Why don’t you keep the high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill for your breakthrough? As for me, once I finish refining my spiritual fire and my strength increases, I might be able to secure the top spot this year!”

Yao Xi showed no displeasure about Ye Chen keeping the Earth-Dao Foundation Establishment method. On the contrary, she was delighted. With Ye Chen’s immense combat power, it would be a pity if he didn’t break through to Foundation Establishment. She even pulled out the pill bottle again, intending to offer it to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen smiled and gently pushed the pill bottle back toward Yao Xi’s clothes. “Senior Sister, don’t rush to break through just yet! Wait until after I’ve broken through, then you can attempt it!”

With one hundred and thirty top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, Ye Chen likely wouldn’t use them all. If he had any left after his breakthrough, he could always give them to Yao Xi.

However, the origins of these top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills were a bit unclear. So, he had to make sure to break through first, and only after Yao Xi used the Heart Command Talisman would he fully trust her.

Although Yao Xi was the most grateful and considerate among the female cultivators he had encountered, Ye Chen knew that appearances could be deceiving.

In his past life, he had seen many women who were devoted and loving when their husbands were thriving, only to turn their backs when they fell on hard times.

Therefore, Ye Chen had to ensure his own breakthrough to Foundation Establishment before handing over any top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills to Yao Xi.

Yao Xi was momentarily taken aback. She had originally planned to refine her spiritual fire and then push forward with her breakthrough. But since Ye Chen had said so, she decided to listen.

Without asking further questions, Yao Xi simply smiled and agreed.

“Junior Brother, are you staying tonight? Can you handle it?”

Yao Xi asked while feeding Ye Chen sugar water, her long eyelashes fluttering with a playful smile. As she spoke, she shifted her position ever so slightly.

Ye Chen had originally planned to decline. But then Yao Xi asked if he could handle it? How could a man not handle it?

Though he knew Yao Xi’s feedback qualifications had to be preserved. After all, once he broke through to Foundation Establishment, all his equipment would need to be updated. Yao Xi would most likely break through herself, and she would be the perfect recipient for the gift.

However, Ye Chen could still show Yao Xi that he was capable, all while ensuring her feedback qualifications were unaffected.

With that in mind, Ye Chen leaned in close to Yao Xi’s ear and whispered softly.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

Yao Xi’s face turned a shade of red as she stood up from the lounge chair, her movements graceful as she made her way toward the room.

The door, however, was left slightly ajar. Clearly, she was waiting for her guest to follow.

…

Everything went incredibly smoothly. After teaching Yao Xi the various transformations of the full moon, Ye Chen felt completely refreshed as he returned to Sword Peak.

The moment he arrived, he announced, much to the maidservants’ surprise, that he would be going into seclusion to break through to Foundation Establishment. All the items he needed for his breakthrough had already been prepared previously, when he had prepared for Yao Xi. They were all top-tier.
