Chapter 96: Changeable as a Face

Not long after, Ye Chen, in front of Huang Yun, swallowed all the precious medicines. He didn't recognize any of them, but fortunately the system didn't indicate they were poison, and Hunyan didn't say anything either, so Ye Chen naturally ate them without worry.

After finishing the precious medicines, Ye Chen felt a wave of comfort in his body that almost made him cry out, but in the end he held back.

The reason was simple: Huang Yun was still here……

After Ye Chen finished those precious medicines, Huang Yun nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, now you can give me a drop of your essence blood."

Ye Chen: "?!"

"So that's your plan, you wicked woman!"

Ye Chen roared angrily in his heart, but to no avail; in the end he obediently handed over his own essence blood……

At the instant he handed over his essence blood, his body went limp and he felt weak again……

Huang Yun looked at the feeble Ye Chen, and for some reason felt somewhat amused.

"Alright, these medicines that supplement qi and blood and consolidate foundation are yours; consider them compensation for taking that drop of your essence blood."

"But having said that……"

Ye Chen once again demonstrated what is called changeable as a face.

"Since that's the case, senior, I'll take my leave first."

"Hmm."

After Huang Yun finished speaking, her figure instantly vanished from the spot.

After Huang Yun disappeared, Hunyan's voice suddenly sounded: "The Glazed Fire Crystal Phoenix bloodline is truly interesting."

Ye Chen heard Hunyan's voice, his brows slightly furrowed, and asked: "Glazed Fire Crystal Phoenix? What the heck is that?"

"It's merely an existence inferior to me, but also an extremely powerful one."

"You always speak so obscurely, it's really unlikable."

"When the time comes, I'll naturally tell you."

"Riddler, you really deserve to die!"

Hunyan changed the subject: "Let's not talk about that. This person's strength has severely regressed; why didn't you kill her?"

"I can't beat her!"

"The bloodline in her body is exactly a great tonic for your sister."

"Speaking of this, Hunyan, how about we two join forces, cripple her, and then take her bloodline?"

"My suggestion is not to do that."

Ye Chen's Hunyan did not agree with his approach, his brows slightly furrowed as he asked: "Why?"

"The bloodline in her body is too dilute; even if you extracted it, it wouldn't be of much use. Moreover, the bloodline gradually becomes denser as one's strength increases, and in the end, atavistic return is not impossible."

After Hunyan finished speaking, Ye Chen pondered for a moment.

"So, making peace now is the correct choice?"

"Hmm."

"At first I also thought that way, but this wicked woman bullies people too much; if this continues, I'll end up drained……"

"You're already drained."

"Ah?!"

Hunyan ignored Ye Chen's shock and said: "If I'm not mistaken, this is already your second drop of essence blood, and that woman will come three days later to take it, then give you these precious medicines. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

Ye Chen asked, puzzled.

"Because three days later, your body will have just recovered."

After Hunyan finished speaking, Ye Chen's mouth corner twitched uncontrollably, finally erupting into a curse: "Damn!"

"Go back; for now she can still be your muscle, and moreover, after obtaining your essence blood, her strength will break through to Golden Core in three days."

"?!"

"Then isn't this world dangerous?"

"No, she isn't a native of this world; this world's restrictions won't gradually loosen as her strength grows."

After hearing that, Ye Chen's worries instantly vanished.

"Then that's good."

After Ye Chen said that, his figure vanished from the spot and he returned to Lin Ruoxi's side.

Ye Chen didn't know that those people outside Xingkong had already sent people into this world, and some of them are now searching for him with all their might.

His bounty value is not low.

Killing him yields a million universal coins; universal coins are actually just spirit crystals, a customary term.

Capturing him alive, however, can reach ten million universal coins; those experts outside Xingkong have already sworn a Heavenly Dao Oath, and whether they kill or capture him, they will certainly fulfill the reward and will not make things difficult for that person.

Once a Heavenly Dao Oath is sworn, breaking it will surely bring eternal calamity; therefore, after swearing the Heavenly Dao Oath, those searching for Ye Chen will only become more frenzied.

……

After Ye Chen returned to Lin Ruoxi's side, Ye Nan and the others also came back, each holding a large amount of fruit in their arms.

Ye Nan walked over smiling to Ye Chen and Lin Ruoxi, handing them the fruit he was carrying.

Only then did Ye Chen realize he had not yet dispelled the hypnosis on Zhang Xiaoxiao and Ji An's son, Ji Yang; so he used his divine sense to lift the hypnosis on Zhang Xiaoxiao and Ji Yang.

After Ye Chen lifted the hypnosis, Zhang Xiaoxiao and Ji Yang groggily rubbed their eyes, but soon fell asleep again; Ye Chen thought something had gone wrong and hastily used his divine sense to check.

Not checking would have been fine, but this check almost made Ye Chen's jaw drop: "This…… is Qi Refining?"

Regarding this situation, he hurriedly asked Hunyan: "They have no cultivation method, so how are they practicing Qi Refining?"

The world's darlings—at the onset of the anomaly, this world needed talent, and these people undoubtedly have top-tier cultivation aptitude; the world needs them to face the initial crisis of the anomaly. Now their slumber is normal, but when they wake, they are likely already at Foundation Establishment.

Ye Chen listened to Hun Yan's words and realized a serious problem.

"You said my cultivation talent is also heaven-defying, so why wasn't I selected?"

Ye Chen finished speaking, then suddenly felt Hun Yan's emotion, which was a kind of... very contemptuous feeling.

"No, Hun Yan, what emotion is this?"

"Your cultivation technique and level are astonishing, you don't even have a clue?"

Ye Chen heard Hun Yan say this for the first time, his eyes widened sharply, "No, who did you learn these from?"

"Before the anomaly happened, I saw it when your parents were scrolling videos."

Ye Chen: "..."

"Not learning the good, only learning the bad."

"If you spit it out, your mouth is clean; if you swallow it, your eyes become dirty."

Ye Chen listened and remained silent.

Hun Yan is also quite rigorous, knowing he is an eye without a heart, so he said the eye is dirty, not the heart.

At that moment, Zhang Hai and Ji An gave Ye Chen worried looks; Ye Chen knew what they were worried about, so he replied via divine sense: "Don't worry, your children have been chosen by the world and have already embarked on the path of cultivation; I will teach them cultivation afterward."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Zhang Hai and Ji An instantly became excited—being chosen by the world, what a great honor!

But Ye Chen did not say the latter part—that being chosen by the world means having to step forward, which could get them killed; no parent would want to see that happen, so Ye Chen didn't say it.

After Ye Chen finished sound transmitting with Zhang Hai and Ji An, Ye Nan's voice sounded in his ear: "Little Chen, eat quickly, don't stay hungry."

Ye Nan said with a smile, but in Ye Chen's perception, Ye Nan hadn't eaten anything for a long time.
