Chapter 172: Could It Be a Heavenly Spirit Root?

Ye Chen, participating in the Divine Will Assembly, was unaware that An Miaoli and her niece had already assessed him and deemed him unworthy of the championship.

Even if he had known, Ye Chen wouldn’t have cared. Apart from the final day’s championship, a cultivator only had one match per day. After stepping down from the arena, Ye Chen was met with Caidie’s eager gaze as he prepared to continue his business.

Given that it was the time of the Divine Will Assembly and many cultivators were in Divine Will City, it was an excellent opportunity to fetch good prices.

However, as Ye Chen was leaving the area of the Conclave, his system, which frequently pinged upon arriving in Divine Will City, chimed again.

Ye Chen didn’t pay much attention initially. There were many female cultivators in Divine Will City; encountering a compatible one was normal. But when Ye Chen saw the multiplier, his body involuntarily halted.

“Li Feihuang: 300 times!”

My goodness… three hundred times? Could it be real?

Up to now, the highest multiplier Ye Chen had encountered was with his master and An Miaoli. Both were Earth Spirit Roots, but they only reached up to two hundred times.

What level was this Li Feihuang? What merits did she possess to have a three hundred times multiplier? Could it be a Heavenly Spirit Root? But if it was a Heavenly Spirit Root, wouldn’t three hundred times be too low? Or could it be an Earth Spirit Root but she was just more beautiful, hence the three hundred times? But how beautiful would she need to be?

Ye Chen didn’t understand, but that didn’t stop him from looking ahead. In the distance, a female cultivator with a badge pinned on her chest was walking towards the direction of the Divine Will Assembly. Clearly, she too was a participant in the Conclave.

After one glance at her, Ye Chen’s brow furrowed slightly. The female cultivator’s appearance was utterly ordinary, and her physique nondescript. The phrase “plain and unremarkable” suited her perfectly, making her the kind who would be lost in a crowd.

Ye Chen immediately concluded that this woman must have altered her appearance. Otherwise, with such looks, a three hundred times multiplier would be plausible only if she possessed a Heavenly Spirit Root.

Ye Chen’s eyes subtly shifted, his Heavy Pupils seeing through all deceptions. Suddenly, the vision of the female cultivator transformed completely. Her originally unremarkable figure now appeared curvaceous and striking, combining the best features of Lu Jing and his senior sister, Yao Xi. She was perfection personified. Her face, too, was unbelievably beautiful.

Most importantly, the female cultivator also sported red hair. Combined with her haughty and indifferent demeanor and her regal aura, she resembled an empress or a phoenix.

Noticing Ye Chen’s gaze, the female cultivator frowned and glanced at him. She continued on her way without stopping.

Ye Chen did not rush to do anything. He pondered silently. This Li Feihuang was indeed extraordinary, but she was not prettier than his master or An Miaoli.

Considering her rare crimson hair, it was clear. She likely had an Earth Spirit Root but possessed some unique bloodline or constitution that granted her the three hundred times multiplier. This Li Feihuang, having disguised herself to participate in the Divine Will Assembly, surely had a backstory.

However, Ye Chen wasn’t interested in wine or stories. He cared only about the multiplier. Ye Chen had been contemplating whom to give the direct disciple slot to if he won first place at the conclave.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Now, it seemed he had found a suitable candidate. He wondered what rewards the Divine Will Sect’s direct disciple slot might yield with a three hundred times feedback. Could the system possibly make him the sect leader of the Divine Will Sect?

Ye Chen mused happily, his mood uplifted as he continued his business with Caidie.

As for why he didn’t approach Li Feihuang? Ye Chen’s Heavy Pupils had revealed her noble aura, indicating her extraordinary background.
