Chapter 156: Auntie is More Appealing!

“…”

“Reward one hundred Soul Nurturing Stones!”

“Already delivered to the host’s storage space!”

Listening to the system’s notification and feeling the bunch of green, oily stones inside his storage bracelet, Ye Chen inwardly cursed his bad luck. This An Yuyi really lacked any sense of gratitude.

One hundred Soul Nurturing Stones were not cheap. Together, they were worth at least ten thousand. But did Ye Chen lack spirit stones?

What Ye Chen truly needed were treasures that could significantly enhance his own capabilities. He had held expectations for the Soul Nurturing Stones, hoping they might yield a significant enhancement or special variant that could drastically improve his spirit sense.

For instance, the classics mentioned treasures like those from the Moon Palace, which could greatly enhance spirit sense and even produce various mutations.

Such treasures would be beneficial for his future breakthroughs to the Nascent Soul and even to the Deity Transformation stages. But now, all was lost…

At this point, An Yuyi seemed completely dull to Ye Chen. In the future, at best, she could only serve as a tool for earning spirit stones. If it was a treasure Ye Chen cared about, An Yuyi could forget about it. Indeed, her aunt was more appealing.

…

“What business do Fellow Daoists have with me?” Ye Chen asked, although his interest in An Yuyi had waned.

Upon hearing this, An Yuyi responded calmly, “We need to delve deep into the Boundless Demon Sect relics, where we might encounter poisonous fog caused by formations that cannot be avoided. This poison fog can corrode a cultivator’s spiritual power and consciousness, and prolonged exposure might even cause physical decay. Ordinary poison antidote pills are ineffective, requiring tailored concoctions.

“Moreover, the nature of the poison fog changes daily, so we need an alchemist to accompany us. This demands a high level of proficiency from the alchemist. If you’re not up to it, we’ll find someone else!”

Second-grade alchemists were not plentiful among the Divine Will Sect disciples. They had originally arranged for one, but that person had an accident just before departure. Since this mission was considered a welfare mission, they couldn’t let other disciples from their sect know about it. That’s why they had turned to the Green Cloud Sect for help.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. He was quite familiar with the exploration of the Boundless Demon Sect’s relics. However, he was completely unaware of any poisonous fog within the relics.

These Divine Will Sect disciples truly seemed to be in the know. Whatever was drawing these direct disciples of the Divine Will Sect must indeed be valuable. Naturally, he was determined to be involved.

“I’m capable!”

Ye Chen promptly declared.

Upon hearing this, the two Divine Will Sect direct disciples immediately showed skepticism. Analyzing and concocting a second-grade antidote on-site required high alchemical expertise. They wanted to test Ye Chen right there.

However, without any further discussion, Ye Chen produced a bottle of pills: “This is the Innate Dao Pill I concocted, needed for the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment!”

Upon seeing the pills in Ye Chen’s hand, An Yuyi and the others’ eyes widened again. The pill was crystalline and snow-white without any impurities, and not a hint of fragrance leaked out, indicating extreme refinement.

Was this a top-grade Innate Dao Pill? Even within the Divine Will Sect, there were only a few alchemists capable of producing such high-quality Innate Dao Pills.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

Thus, top-grade Innate Dao Pills were always in short supply. Even these direct disciples usually only used high-grade pills. Yet, Ye Chen casually produced a bottle of top-grade.

This…

Originally, they should have been looking down on these lower sect cultivators. But unexpectedly, they found themselves feeling somewhat upstaged.

…

Ye Chen’s ability to produce top-grade Innate Dao Pills naturally put any doubts about his skill to rest.
