Chapter 923: Ye Chen Really Wanted to Give It Away!
However, Yan Qingcheng quickly shook her head. "That is Ye Chen's freedom. As for me, I am not his Dao companion. I am simply grateful to him!"
While the two were talking, the latest news arrived.
The golden-robed elder stared at the battle record of Ye Chen smashing through the Quasi-Immortal array and was utterly shocked. He kept praising, "My worthy son-in-law is truly invincible. Forget the Chaos Body—even a genuine Immortal Body could not achieve this. My worthy son-in-law is destined to become an immortal in this life!"
The Chaos Body Yan Qingcheng: "…"
Soon after, the golden-robed elder's eyes widened as he read further. Surprise and gratification bloomed across his face.
Curiosity flashed through Yan Qingcheng's eyes.
The golden-robed elder spoke at once, "Ye Chen and the group from the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land are flying toward the Heavenly Emperor Hall!"
Yan Qingcheng's expression grew complicated. Why was Ye Chen coming to the Heavenly Emperor Hall at this time? Combined with the fact that he had just obtained the Heavenly Position Spirit Herb, his purpose for this visit was obvious.
The golden-robed elder's old face bloomed like a chrysanthemum in full bloom. He immediately said, "I'll go to Purple Dawn Star to fetch some spiritual spring water and brew tea for him when he arrives!"
The golden-robed elder was overjoyed.
Yan Qingcheng, however, felt somewhat tormented. She actually wanted to run away and avoid meeting him, leaving only the Heavenly Position Spirit Herb behind. Yet deep in her heart, she also missed Ye Chen and could not bear to leave.
After hesitating for a long time, Yan Qingcheng finally decided to wait calmly for Ye Chen's arrival. She would first try to persuade him to keep the Heavenly Position Spirit Herb for himself. If she failed to convince him, she would then repay him with her heart of gratitude.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. Ye Chen finally arrived at the Heavenly Emperor Hall.
The golden-robed elder and Yan Qingcheng waited together at the palace gates. When Ye Chen saw the two of them—especially Yan Qingcheng, who had also reached the Saint King realm like himself—he immediately broke into a smile.
"Greetings, Senior. Greetings, Fairy Yan!"
The golden-robed elder now found Ye Chen more pleasing to the eye the more he looked at him. He was about to invite Ye Chen for tea.
Before he could speak, however, Ye Chen smiled lightly and took out a spiritual plant, presenting it directly to Yan Qingcheng. Staring at the spirit herb whose leaves flowed with fluorescent light and caused the Heavenly Heart Imprint to tremble, both the golden-robed elder and Yan Qingcheng showed complicated expressions. They had guessed that Ye Chen had come to give it away. But they had never expected him to do so with such straightforward simplicity…
Looking at the Heavenly Position Spirit Herb, Yan Qingcheng's expression grew extremely complicated. The gratitude in her eyes nearly overflowed uncontrollably. Ye Chen had obtained the Heavenly Position Spirit Herb and thought of her first. The moment they met, before he could even say much, he wanted to give it to her. He really loved her so much!
Most importantly, he loved her more than his other women.
Although Yan Qingcheng considered herself broad-minded and not the type to compare herself with others, nor did she mind the other romantic interests around Ye Chen, being favored like this still made the gratitude in her heart surge uncontrollably. She knew Ye Chen's personality and understood that refusing would be useless. She gently extended her slender hand, accepted the Heavenly Position Spirit Herb, and stored it between her brows.
Yet she did not rush to refine it. Her beautiful eyes shimmered as she looked at Ye Chen and spoke softly, "Thank you for the gift, Fellow Daoist Ye… I have also prepared a gift in return. Please follow me into the Heavenly Emperor Hall so I may repay you."
Seeing Yan Qingcheng accept the gift so cleanly and decisively, Ye Chen could not help but smile. And when he heard that she wanted to thank him, he smiled again. He liked women like Yan Qingcheng—vast and broad-minded like the sea, straightforward and efficient. Gifting her was much simpler. Most importantly, although it was simple, her reciprocation was never discounted.
"Congratulations, Host, on the successful gift…"
"Gift given: Heavenly Position Spirit Herb!"
"Seven-thousand-times feedback in progress…"
"Detected that the gift is extremely important to the recipient…"
"Maximum critical hit triggered…"
"Feedback: Heavenly Position Immortal Herb × 50!"
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"Heavenly Position Immortal Herb: After a Mahayana sixth-layer or Saint King realm cultivator refines it, it can accelerate the refinement of Heavenly Position laws… increasing the speed by ten times the original rate!"
Looking at the feedback, Ye Chen smiled. Between a Heavenly Position Spirit Herb and a Heavenly Position Immortal Herb, there was still a Heavenly Position Sacred Herb in between.
Normally, one Heavenly Position Sacred Herb was worth a hundred times a Heavenly Position Spirit Herb, and a Heavenly Position Immortal Herb was worth another hundred times that.
Using a single Heavenly Position Spirit Herb to receive fifty Heavenly Position Immortal Herbs showed just how fierce Yan Qingcheng's critical hit was. And how profound her gratitude truly ran.
Ye Chen decided that later he would find an excuse to give Yan Qingcheng one Heavenly Position Immortal Herb. But he was not in a hurry to cultivate. He would wait for the Heavenly Position Divine Bamboo Root from Luo Bingling.
The efficacy of the Heavenly Position Divine Bamboo was comparable to a Heavenly Position Sacred Herb. The root itself was even more effective than the bamboo sections. Giving such a treasure to Lan Nuo, who had a higher multiplier and equally deep gratitude, would surely bring returns far beyond his imagination. The treasures fed back might far surpass Heavenly Position Immortal Herbs.
As for Yan Qingcheng's invitation, Ye Chen naturally would not refuse. Gratitude was flowing through her heart. If she could not release it, it would stagnate and affect her state of mind. In such a situation, he naturally had to help her properly. Otherwise, wouldn't he be harming her?
Thus, just as Yan Qingcheng had accepted the gift cleanly and decisively, Ye Chen followed her into the Heavenly Emperor Hall with the same straightforward ease. Only the golden-robed elder and the experts from the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land were left behind with complicated expressions. Ye Chen was truly too generous.
…
Ye Chen did not refuse simple meals and drinks. However, when it came to Yan Qingcheng's further ways of repaying the favor, he chose to decline. He still had to wait three months for Luo Bingling, so there was no rush.
Yan Qingcheng was not in a hurry either. Filled with gratitude, she was also happy to spend more time with him. The two occasionally sat together to discuss the Dao, and the days passed with exceptional comfort.
In the blink of an eye, three months had gone by.
When Ye Chen learned that Luo Bingling had returned and was waiting for him in Immortal City, he stood up cleanly and decisively to bid farewell. Before leaving, however, he took out the Immortal King Scripture created by the Devouring Female Immortal—the Heaven-Immortalizing Divine Art—and gave it to Yan Qingcheng.
"This is a unique scripture created by the Devouring Female Immortal. It can transform a postnatal Chaos Body into an Innate Chaos Body and even advance it toward the Chaos Immortal Body.
"However, this path requires continuously devouring the origins. Once the Innate Chaos Body reaches great completion, it may even require devouring Immortal Body origins to continue advancing.
"This path differs greatly from yours. After all, you are already a pure Innate Chaos Body. If you also devour other divine physiques to advance, it may not be a good thing. So I am only leaving this scripture for your reference!"
Although both were Chaos Bodies, there were still differences between them.
Even though Yan Qingcheng had already experienced countless surprises from Ye Chen, she still felt a jolt of shock at this moment.
An Immortal King scripture?
This was simply too astonishing. In the cultivation world, it was unquestionably the highest-tier scripture—bar none. It was valuable enough to drive Quasi-Immortals mad and spark rivers of blood in battle.
Yet Ye Chen had casually shared it with her. Although she would never walk the path of devouring others, as it conflicted with her own Dao, studying and comprehending this scripture would undoubtedly bring enormous benefits to the future advancement of her Chaos Body.
At that thought, Yan Qingcheng's beautiful eyes shimmered. She could no longer suppress the gratitude surging in her heart…
Ye Chen noticed her intention and immediately moved to refuse. He really should leave now. Although he was with Yan Qingcheng at the moment, his mind was already occupied with the thought of gifting the item to Lan Nuo and seeing the limits of her multiplier.
Doing so felt a little unfair to Yan Qingcheng. It also felt a little unfair to the slender-waisted beauty who had traveled thousands of miles to bring him the bamboo root! It made him seem like a scumbag. But Ye Chen truly could not hold back.
Yan Qingcheng, however, showed no embarrassment at being refused. Instead, she spoke with great magnanimity, "Fellow Daoist Ye has treated me far too well. Although I have no intention of forming a Dao companion bond with anyone, the gratitude in my heart cannot be suppressed. If I do not repay it, it will surely affect my future cultivation. Therefore, Fellow Daoist Ye, please do not refuse and allow me to ease this overwhelming gratitude!"
Ye Chen: "…"
Since Yan Qingcheng had put it this way, what else could he do? He could only fully accept her heartfelt gratitude.
After they had once again eaten and cleaned up thoroughly, however, Ye Chen still rose firmly and prepared to leave.
"Fairy Yan, focus on your cultivation…The road to immortality is long. We will need to accompany each other for a very long time, so our cultivation must not fall behind!"
At the gates of the Heavenly Emperor Hall.
Ye Chen did not even drink the tea the golden-robed elder had brewed. He bid a clean and decisive farewell and left.
Hearing his parting words, Yan Qingcheng felt even more moved. He left in such a hurry because he was afraid of delaying my cultivation… He really loves me so much.
…
Inside Immortal City.
Luo Bingling, who had been waiting for Ye Chen, wore a face full of smiles. The main reason was that this trip back had felt incredibly satisfying. In the past, her status within the clan had not been low, but she had never been truly valued. This time, even the ancestor had to speak to her with polite respect.
Luo Bingling felt as if she were the ancestor herself.
Many clansmen had assumed that after she left, she had suffered terribly and endured endless torment. When they saw the supreme Extreme Dao weapons and cosmic origin crystals she casually took out, they were completely stunned… They could not even imagine what kind of heavenly life she was living outside.
But what pained them the most was that she had taken those things out only to put them away again. She had not left a single item for the clan. The complex expressions on their faces—anger they dared not voice—brought Luo Bingling even greater pleasure.
In the end, she had elegantly pulled the bamboo root out of the ancestral land. She had even deliberately chosen her great-grandfather to escort her as she departed gracefully.
Luo Bingling left without the slightest reluctance. She knew she would never return. If her husband eventually became an immortal and took her with him, that would naturally be best. But if he did not, it would not matter. She would simply go to the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land where her husband belonged.
After all, a wife follows her husband. If her husband left, she would naturally shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding their home.
As for the War God Clan? Sorry, we're not close!
