Chapter 155: Soul Nurturing Stone

“Divine Will Sect’s direct disciple has mostly come here either to undertake a mission or to seek some treasure! The requirement for a second-grade alchemist indicates that the mission involves concocting certain pills on-site, which are effective only when freshly prepared.

“Interesting. It seems they have some special means to know what lies within the relics of the Boundless Demon Sect. Having upheld its legacy for five thousand years, the Divine Will Sect evidently knows quite a bit about the Boundless Demon Sect.”

After a brief contemplation, Ye Chen made his decision.

Let’s go and see. The treasures that attract a direct disciple of the Divine Will Sect are certainly not ordinary. Perhaps they could be of use to me as well. If they indeed prove useful, then I shall claim them first, and decide later whether to offer them to An Yuyi or my master. This could be a critical strike. A direct takeoff!

…

After comforting Yao Xi with a few words, Ye Chen immediately flew towards the abode of the Master of Magic Peak. He soon met the Master of Magic Peak.

“Well, Ye Chen, you’ve arrived. Fellow Daoist An is here as well, you two can talk…”

Upon seeing Ye Chen, a flash of surprise crossed the eyes of the Master of Magic Peak. He spoke with more politeness than usual. Partly because Ye Chen had actually advanced to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. Such a rate of cultivation was frightening. Advancing a minor realm every two years, what a prodigy!

Moreover, it was because Ye Chen was acquainted with the direct disciple of the Divine Will Sect. The Master of Magic Peak had learned over the past few days, that An Yuyi’s aunt was a late-stage Golden Core elder of the Divine Will Sect.

A background so formidable it was frightening. Having such connections, Ye Chen compelled the Master of Magic Peak to be courteous.

Ye Chen nodded and stepped into the hall. Inside, three people were leisurely drinking tea. Sitting in the center was An Yuyi.

An Yuyi’s youthful and radiant face still carried a hint of immaturity. Her figure was slender and graceful. Her assertive traits remained as dominant as ever.

Ye Chen had thought that after nearly two years without seeing her, she might have matured a bit. It turned out she hadn’t changed at all. It seems she truly was born with a perennially youthful. That won’t change.

Moreover, An Yuyi’s cultivation had also reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. This caused Ye Chen a slight pang of envy.

Ye Chen was certain, even with an aunt at the Golden Core stage, An Yuyi’s cultivation resources couldn’t compare to his own. Yet, she too had broken through within two years, even earlier than himself. This clearly showed the advantages of having a superior spiritual root.

Besides An Yuyi, there were two young male cultivators present, both exuding a vibrant and spirited demeanor. Despite their youth, one was at the late stage and the other at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. Clearly, they were prodigies of the Divine Will Sect.

Upon Ye Chen’s entrance, the trio ceased their conversation. The two male cultivators looked at Ye Chen, appraising him.

Ye Chen did not sense any malice. However, he could detect a hint of arrogance in their gaze.

Damn, Divine Will Sect thinks they’re something special, huh? Thinking they’ve come to the countryside visiting my Green Cloud Sect? They are treading a path towards their demise!

Upon seeing Ye Chen, An Yuyi’s pretty face broke into a smug smile: “Fellow Daoist Ye, we meet again…”

This book’s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

Ye Chen wasn’t surprised that she had uncovered his identity and even sought him out. After all, the Divine Will Sect was a higher sect compared to his Green Cloud Sect. He had not hidden his face last time, so it was only natural for his identity to be discovered.

“Miss An, it’s been a long time, and you remain as ethereally beautiful as ever. Our last meeting was rather rushed, and I regret not presenting a proper greeting gift at the time. Please, do not decline this token of respect!”

With these words, Ye Chen presented his gift, opening a jade box and placing it on the table beside An Yuyi. This was, in fact, Ye Chen’s primary reason for visiting.

The relics of the Boundless Demon Sect had yielded many treasures. One of the elders from Green Cloud Sect had found a Soul Nurturing Stone. It could be integrated into the forehead to nourish the spirit sense and used to launch various attacks. This item was extremely rare and highly valuable.
