Chapter 145: Unexpected Joy

Lifting the teacup, Ye Qingxiao couldn't help but sniff it, muttering softly:

"This seems to be the Calming Tea, doesn't it? I've had it before."

Having spoken, Ye Qingxiao drained the tea in his cup in one gulp. Seeing Ye Qingxiao drink, Yu Xueqing also lifted her cup and took a light sip.

After finishing the tea, Ye Qingxiao instantly froze.

He felt a gentle energy rise from his dantian and directly merge into his mind.

Then, Ye Qingxiao involuntarily entered a state of enlightenment.

The key to breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm circulated in his mind. Ye Qingxiao began to unconsciously comprehend its mysteries as part of his consciousness slowly gathered toward his dantian.

Seeing Ye Qingxiao's change, Yu Xueqing hesitated and asked:

"Big Brother, what's wrong with Qingxiao?"

Yu Xueqing had consumed less of the Fifth-Rank Calming Tea, so the effect was not obvious. Moreover, Ye Qingxiao's transformation had captured her attention, causing her to completely ignore the slight changes within her own body.

Seeing Yu Xueqing's hesitant expression, Ye Qingxuan smiled lightly and said:

"It's nothing. Qingxiao has merely fallen into enlightenment and is about to break through to the Nascent Soul realm."

No sooner had he spoken than Ye Qingxiao's body began to continuously absorb spiritual energy from the surroundings.

To help Ye Qingxiao break through more effectively, Ye Qingxuan waved his sleeve and piled a large heap of top-grade spirit stones around Ye Qingxiao for him to absorb during his breakthrough.

Seeing this, Yu Xueqing was left speechless with shock.

Ye Qingxiao had always told her how wealthy his brother Ye Qingxuan was, but Yu Xueqing had never believed him.

However, starting today, she believed it.

Three hours later.

Since Ye Qingxiao was in a state of enlightenment and broke through with the help of top-grade spirit stones, his breakthrough saved a great deal of time.

Thus, in just three hours, Ye Qingxiao successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.

"Hahaha!"

Having just succeeded in his breakthrough, Ye Qingxiao couldn't help but laugh excitedly.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan shook his head and said helplessly:

"Enough, enough. Stop laughing. It's getting late. Leave quickly and don't disturb my meditation."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxiao's laughter abruptly stopped.

Embarrassedly scratching his head, Ye Qingxiao rolled his eyes and said shamelessly:

"You can let me go, but you must give me a pack of the tea leaves you just brewed."

Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Qingxiao a cold look but didn't argue, simply tossing a large pack of Fifth-Rank Calming Tea leaves to him.

Seeing the large pack of tea leaves Ye Qingxuan threw over, Ye Qingxiao happily accepted it, took out a storage bag he had prepared long ago, placed it on the stone table, and said proudly:

"Hehe, I won't take your things for nothing. This is what you asked for before. I brought it back for you. Let's go!"

Having spoken, Ye Qingxiao grabbed Yu Xueqing and flew away from the stone pavilion.

Hearing Ye Qingxiao's words, Ye Qingxuan was stunned:

"What I asked for? What did I ask for?"

Picking up the storage bag Ye Qingxiao had left on the stone seat, Ye Qingxuan did not open it immediately.

Instead, he gazed at Ye Qingxiao's departing figure and fell into deep thought.

The fact that the Soul Cleansing Nuclear Bomb Elixir had begun spreading in the Lower Realm so quickly was something Ye Qingxuan had not anticipated.

Originally, he thought that given the situation revealed by the Di Xuan Realm and the Green Demon Realm in the Lower Realm previously, the effects of the Soul Cleansing Nuclear Bomb Elixir would not be promoted at least in the short term.

Ye Qingxuan also did not expect the situation in the Lower Realm to change so rapidly in such a short time.

However, Ye Qingxuan was not overly worried about the consequences after the Soul Cleansing Nuclear Bomb Elixir became popular.

If he couldn't withstand it, could the Xuantian Sect not withstand it?

After all, he was now a blessed disciple of the Xuantian Sect and had no way to leave the blessed land.

Outsiders could not do anything to him. Did they really think the Xuantian Sect was so easy to talk to?

In the worst-case scenario, some people might use the righteousness of the human race to pressure him, forcing him to completely abandon the profits from the Nuclear Bomb Elixir in the outside world.

His current strength was insufficient, but Ye Qingxuan still cared very little about the loss of some external things.

The losses now, tens of thousands of years later, could Ye Qingxuan not easily make those who forced him or the factions that pressured him spit out double?

After all, the higher the realm, the longer one lives.

Those who could force him, a disciple of the Xuantian Sect, must have high cultivation and power. The opponent might even survive until he ascends to the peak of this realm.

Moreover, based on Ye Qingxuan's understanding of the Xuantian Sect, he did not think the sect would let him completely abandon the profits from the Nuclear Bomb Elixir.

However, these were all just Ye Qingxuan's guesses.

Ye Qingxuan greatly disliked the feeling of having his fate in the hands of others.

After a moment of silence, Ye Qingxuan turned expressionlessly, took a step, and returned to the Qingxuan Blessed Land.

Only after returning to the Qingxuan Blessed Land did Ye Qingxuan open the storage bag Ye Qingxiao had left for him.

Seeing the contents of the storage bag, Ye Qingxuan was momentarily dazed and smiled lightly:

"So it's the corpse of a Green Demon?"

Before Ye Qingxiao descended to the Lower Realm, Ye Qingxuan had indeed mentioned this to him.

However, Ye Qingxuan had not taken the matter to heart.

He did not think that Ye Qingxiao, going to the Lower Realm which had not fallen to train, could gain much.

But Ye Qingxuan also did not expect that Ye Qingxiao's courage was so great, daring to venture into the fallen Xuanmu Small Thousand Realms later on.

Fortunately, Ye Qingxiao had good luck. When the situation in the nine fallen lower realms changed, Ye Qingxiao seized the opportunity.

Relying on the trump card Ye Qingxuan had given him, Ye Qingxiao hunted down many Green Demons.

Just from the storage bag Ye Qingxiao left him, there was a corpse of a Qing Mo clan member at the Nascent Soul realm, ten corpses at the early to mid stages of the Golden Core realm, and over a hundred corpses at the Purple Mansion realm.

As for corpses of the Qing Mo clan at the Foundation Establishment realm, there were none.

It seems Ye Qingxiao only targeted Qing Mo clan members above the Purple Mansion realm in the Xuanmu Realm?

What Ye Qingxuan did not know was that among the Qing Mo clan members who migrated to the Nine Realms, those of low cultivation were mostly stationed in the deep rear areas.

Only Qing Mo clan members at the Purple Mansion realm and above were free to move, approaching areas where humans were active in an attempt to hunt humans and increase their cultivation base.

That is why there were no corpses of Qing Mo clan members at the Foundation Establishment realm in the storage bag Ye Qingxiao left him.

The cultivation essence within these Qing Mo clan corpses left by Ye Qingxiao had not been extracted.

Looking at the Qing Mo clan corpses before him, Ye Qingxuan could not help but reveal a fiery gleam in his eyes.

With these Qing Mo clan corpses, he could also break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Ye Qingxuan took a deep breath, took the storage bag, and entered the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

First, he threw all the corpses of Qing Mo clan members at the Purple Mansion realm into the purification array of the Cave Heaven's blessed land to accelerate the growth of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven's blessed land.

The remaining one corpse at the Nascent Soul realm and ten corpses at the Golden Core realm were all placed into the small sacrifice array by Ye Qingxuan for sacrifice.

In the next instant, a golden pillar of light once again enveloped Ye Qingxuan.

Ye Qingxuan's cultivation base began to steadily increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.
