As Elder Hua and her disciples made their way towards the cave where the Heavenly Moon Blossom was said to grow, Ye Chen trailed closely behind, deep in thought about how he could persuade Elder Hua to relinquish the coveted flower.
But as they approached the cave, their eyes widened with wonder at the sight of numerous glittering treasures scattered throughout the cavernous expanse.
Glinting gemstones and glittering crystals adorned the walls and floors, while rare herbs and exotic plants sprouted from the rocky crevices.
The group's eyes widened in amazement as they ventured deeper into the cave.
They found not only the highly coveted Heavenly Moon Blossom but also an array of other valuable medicinal plants like the rare Thunderstorm Vine, Wind Whistle Leaf, and Frostbite Grass.
The Ocean Pearl Coral, Mystic Wind Fern, and Soul Mist Mushroom were on par with the Heavenly Moon Blossom in terms of rarity and potency, sending the disciples into a frenzy of excitement.
As they scanned their surroundings, they realized that the cave also housed piles of ancient bones, which sparked curiosity about the cave's past.
The tomes they discovered were filled with secret techniques and ancient knowledge that could unlock unparalleled power for the wielder.
Among these techniques, Ye Chen came across a Body Cultivation Technique known as the Divine Bone Transformation Art.
It requires a profound understanding of the body's inner workings.
To cultivate this technique, one must first find a suitable place to cultivate, preferably somewhere with abundant natural energy.
The technique has a total of nine levels, with each level unlocking a new ability that enhances the cultivator's body and increases their strength.
The first three levels focus on enhancing the bones and muscles, granting the cultivator the ability to wield heavier weapons.
The fourth and fifth levels heighten the senses, boosting reaction time and detecting even the slightest movements.
The sixth level is a crucial milestone, where the bones become denser and harder, making them impervious to most attacks.
The seventh level enables the cultivator to recover quickly from fatal injuries.
The eighth level, known as the "Divine Transformation," is where the body reaches its zenith, and the bones become almost indestructible, enabling the cultivator to wield their bones as weapons.
Finally, the last level, the "Heavenly Transformation," empowers the cultivator to transcend human limits, granting tremendous strength and the ability to manipulate their body's density to move at unbelievable speeds and withstand the most formidable attacks.
It was a pity that the Divine Bone Transformation Art that Ye Chen had acquired contained description only until the seventh level.
There was no information on how to cultivate the technique to the eighth or final level.
As Ye Chen delved deeper into the secrets of the Divine Bone Transformation Art, his confidence swelled. With this technique, he felt like he could take on any foe and emerge victorious.
His attention was suddenly drawn to Elder Hua as she had made her way to the Heavenly Moon Blossom and was poised to pluck its flower.
Without hesitation, Ye Chen called out to her. "Please, Elder Hua, wait."
The elder turned to him with a dark scowl etched onto her face. She knew that Ye Chen coveted the blossom as well and was loath to relinquish it.
However, Ye Chen was the one who created that opportunity which allowed her to kill the Lunar Tiger so that she couldn't show blatant disregard for his words.
"I must request that you let me have the Heavenly Moon Blossom," he implored. Seeing the elder's expression grow even more sour, he quickly added, "I understand that the Lotus Blossom Sect has a pressing need for it, but I humbly ask that you allow me to keep the flower."
"Why?" Elder Hua demanded, her voice dripping with disdain.
Undeterred, Ye Chen answered gravely, "I have a unique technique that can allow us to procure more Heavenly Moon Blossom Flowers. But it requires me to hold onto this one for an entire day. And not just that, I can even multiply all the herbs and medicinal plants in this area!"
As Ye Chen spoke, his words dripped with such an infectious confidence that it seemed to mesmerize Elder Hua. Her initial ruthlessness began to waver, and for a moment, she found herself wanting to trust him.
The tension in the air was palpable as her disciples watched with bated breath.
They knew that the Heavenly Moon Blossom was a rare find, but they also felt that trusting Ye Chen would be the right choice.
As if on cue, the disciples began to speak up for Ye Chen, their voices rising in unison as they vouched for his trustworthiness.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Elder Hua hesitated for a moment longer before finally relenting.
"Very well," she warned, her voice laced with caution. "But you will not leave my range at any costs."
Ye Chen's eyes sparkled with triumph as he accepted her terms with a wide grin.
"Agreed," he said, his voice carrying a hint of amusement. "I wouldn't dream of it."
As the day passed, Ye Chen fulfilled his promise to Elder Hua by presenting her with dozens of herbs, each of which was of exceptional quality.
The herbs were brimming with energy that even surpassed the levels he had exhibited in the cave.
Elder Hua was left stunned and gazed at Ye Chen with newfound admiration. His reputation as a skilled cultivator was solidified in her mind, and she couldn't help but wonder about his true potential.
Maintaining his composure, Ye Chen projected the image of a seasoned expert and capitalized on the opportunity to impress Elder Hua even further.
After the group left the forest, Ye Chen parted ways with the Lotus Blossom Sect and began his journey towards the Church of Divine Light.
Ye Chen made a swift return to the Church of Divine Light, and the Pope was taken aback by the sudden appearance of his energy within the church's boundaries.
Just as the Pope was about to dispatch a deacon to investigate the situation, a bishop frantically barged into his chambers, bringing news of Ye Chen's arrival.
The bishop informed the Pope that Ye Chen had arrived with a bountiful donation of rare herbs, which he wished to present as a token of gratitude to the Church for their hospitality.
Furthermore, he also wished to express his deep regret for any inconvenience he might have caused them.
The Pope was taken aback by Ye Chen's magnanimous gesture and was impressed by his noble character.
Intrigued by this sudden turn of events, the Pope immediately ordered the bishop to escort Ye Chen to his chambers.
He was eager to hear more about Ye Chen's journey and how he came across these treasured herbs.
…
It had been a couple of days since Wang Jian settled inside his new palace.
He had been rather busy for these past few days. His primary task was to spend time with his wives.
The secondary task was to send a servant with the petal of Golden Lotus to the Dao of Alchemy Society.
He had already informed Xie Zhiwei to concoct a Thunderbolt Lotus Pellet for him.
Xie Zhiwei had responded that it would take a couple of days and Wang Jian was fine with the timeline.
Meanwhile, an esteemed alchemist of the Dao of Alchemy Society had already been sent to the Jin Family to cure Jin Meixiang's uncle and grandfather.
This matter had been completed perfectly as Wang Jian received thousands of points from Jin Meixiang. She was extremely touched by his actions and had thanked him profusely.
Actually, now that he had opened the notification center of the system, he began to check out the other notifications he had received.
These notifications dated back to the time when Wang Jian was still on the way to Aria City, and he had tormented Xiao Ling, Bixi Shuyan, and Lady Zhuoran.
All in all, he had acquired 290,000 Destiny Points from the three.
This was a rather impressive number. Most points were actually provided by Lady Zhuoran.
Well, it did make sense as she held the highest luck among the women who regained their Heroine status.
