Chương 186: Chapter 185: Glazed Purification Water

"Gift successfully given!"

"The gift is the Divine Will Pool spot."

"Returning rewards..."

"200x feedback in progress..."

"Detected that the gift given by the host is extremely important to the recipient, far exceeding their expectations, and causing a significant shift in their state of mind, triggering a critical hit reward!"

"Reward: Ten bottles of Glazed Purification Water."

"Glazed Purification Water: A sacred water from the Buddhist sect. Drinking it can purify the body and mind, enhance cultivation, and strengthen spirit sense. Consuming it at the peak of Foundation Establishment can purify everything, bringing one to their optimal state, increasing the success rate of foundation establishment, and enhancing the grade of the Golden Core upon formation..." Reading the description, Ye Chen's eyes brightened.

Not only was An Miaoli a person of refinement, but she also insisted on giving a return gift. And she had triggered a critical hit reward twice. She was definitely a great woman! And this Glazed Purification Water was undoubtedly worth many times more than the Divine Will Pool spot. There were no downsides to it; it could directly enhance Foundation Establishment cultivation. But it didn't just enhance cultivation; it could also increase spirit sense strength. However, these weren't even the most important aspects.

After all, cultivation could be improved over time, and spirit sense could be gradually enhanced. But increasing the chances of forming the Golden Core and raising its grade was something that could only be obtained by rare opportunity. This Glazed Purification Water was truly one of the top-tier auxiliary elixirs for Foundation Establishment cultivators. Its value was immeasurable, but what made it most valuable was its rarity.

Not to mention the Divine Will Sect's direct disciples, even direct disciples from the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land would struggle to acquire a single bottle of Glazed Purification Water. And even disciples from the Buddhist sect had only a few people who were qualified to receive it. Yet, Ye Chen had received ten bottles all at once. Not only could he use them himself, but his Master could also use them to enhance their chances of forming the Golden Core and raise its grade. It was truly perfect.

Ye Chen's face was filled with a smile. His trip to Divine Will City had definitely been worthwhile. The direct disciple spot had traded for a position as the Holy Son of the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land. And the Divine Will Pool spot had traded for ten bottles of Glazed Purification Water. The rewards were unbelievably great. Now that Ye Chen had the Glazed Purification Water in hand, he couldn't wait any longer.

He immediately used an array to call for a servant and booked the small courtyard for another month, instructing that he not be disturbed. Once everything was arranged, he activated the courtyard's protective array and made sure all was secure. After all preparations were complete, Ye Chen sat cross-legged in the quiet room. From his storage ring, he took out a bottle of Glazed Purification Water. The jade bottle was crystal-clear, with a delicate blue lotus drawn on its surface.

He gently opened the cap, and a unique fragrance instantly filled the entire quiet room. Just inhaling the scent, Ye Chen felt his spirit surge with vitality. Looking at the liquid inside the bottle, it appeared as pure as mountain spring water. Yet, through his spirit sense, Ye Chen could clearly perceive a unique power within the liquid. Without further hesitation, he drank it in one gulp.

In an instant, an incredibly gentle flow of spirit Qi surged through Ye Chen's body, quickly converting into spiritual power at an astonishing rate. Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. At the same time, a peculiar force entered Ye Chen's sea of consciousness. A faint, holy glow emanated from his body, giving him an otherworldly, sanctified aura.

Ye Chen immediately began to circulate his cultivation technique, the "Western Empress Scripture," and began his focused meditation and practice. … Ye Chen entered seclusion from that moment on. The second day, Caidie and Yun Qianyue came together, wanting to serve their senior. The seventh day, An Miaoli arrived, bringing An Yuyi, who was about to enter the Divine Will Pool, to thank Ye Chen.

The tenth day, Li Feihuang, who had already become a direct disciple, planned to visit and pay her respects to the future Golden Dragon King, hoping to foster a relationship. However, none of them were able to meet Ye Chen. And after the fifteenth day, Ye Chen, still sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, opened his eyes slowly with a faint smile on his face. As he sensed his current condition, he was extremely satisfied.

In just fifteen days, Ye Chen had gone from the middle stage of Foundation Establishment to the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage. Both his magical power and spirit sense had reached their fullest potential. He was just one step away from reaching the Golden Core stage. In merely half a month, Ye Chen had achieved what would take most cultivators decades of hard work. The potency of the Glazed Purification Water was evident. And Ye Chen still had nine bottles of it remaining.

"I'll keep one for when I break through to Golden Core. I'll give one to my Master. One for Senior Sister. The little demoness, though her multiplier is lower at fifty times, she's still a demonic cultivator and has special needs, so I'll give her one to boost her power, so she doesn't fall too far behind and miss out. As for the maidservants, each of them can have one... But even then, there are still a few bottles left. I'll keep them for now. They may come in handy later."

Ye Chen pondered the distribution of the Glazed Purification Water. If the outside world were to know, they would undoubtedly scold him for wasting such a valuable treasure, calling him a prodigal son. Others measured Glazed Purification Water drop by drop. Ye Chen already had an absurd number of bottles, and yet he planned to give them away casually. Even his maidservants would receive a share.

If this news were to spread, it was likely that even the direct disciples of the holy lands, female disciples no less, would come crying, eager to become Ye Chen's maidservants. However, Ye Chen's grand plans were not made to flaunt wealth. The primary reason was that he had the gift feedback system in hand. No matter how rare or even extinct the treasures of heaven and earth were, they might just trigger a critical strike.

In such a case, a mere bottle of Glazed Purification Water was hardly something Ye Chen would regard as precious.... After closing the formation, his attendant immediately arrived to inform him that someone had come to visit during his seclusion. Upon learning the identity of the visitor, Ye Chen merely nodded. He had no intention of meeting them. Though Li Feihuang and An Miaoli had high rates, he currently had no suitable gifts for them. As for An Yuyi? Ye Chen completely ignored her.

It had nothing to do with her high-born temper, nor the threats she had made last time. It wasn't even about her remark, "Don't you think you were wrong?" The main issue was that An Yuyi's rate was only one hundred, and there had been no critical strikes. No critical strike was the greatest flaw.

Now that he had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, Ye Chen planned to visit the Heavenly Evolution Pavilion to see if there were any spiritual objects that could aid cultivators in breaking through to the Core Formation stage, or perhaps top-tier techniques for Core Formation cultivators. It was all part of his preparations. However, when Ye Chen arrived at the Heavenly Evolution Pavilion and inquired, his face fell with disappointment. Spiritual objects were exceedingly rare.

Very few were available for sale. It was all a matter of luck. And high-tier Core Formation techniques were similarly precious and scarce. At least for this period, Heavenly Evolution Pavilion's auction did not have any related items. This undoubtedly left Ye Chen feeling disappointed. Oh well, he thought, I'll just head back to the Green Cloud Sect. I don't want Master to truly think that I've decided not to return.

Before leaving, Ye Chen asked the attendant if there was an elder with the surname Shangguan in Heavenly Evolution Holy Land. The main reason was that the Holy Son token he had received from Heavenly Evolution Holy Land bore the two words "Shangguan." Upon hearing this, the attendant appeared thoughtful.

"I'm not sure about an elder named Shangguan, but our Heavenly Evolution Holy Land does have a Supreme Elder with the surname Shangguan. However, I've heard that they haven't appeared for nearly a thousand years..." Ye Chen nodded, beginning to piece together where the token he had received as a system reward might have come from. After bidding farewell to the attendant, Ye Chen left without a trace of hesitation and flew away from Divine Will City!
