he didn’t expect that just drinking a glass of water would greatly increase his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh my, what water is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does drinking it help me enhance my cultivation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this be the legendary Divine Water?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During Yan Chixia’s cultivation, his mentor mentioned that some Divine Beings in this world could help increase their power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even those waters aren’t as effective as this brown beverage from Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen helplessly said, “Brother Yan, this isn’t any Divine Water, just ordinary cola.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was actually a bit baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen never thought that a small glass of cola could have such an effect, helping Yan Chixia enhance his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were truly that effective, who knows how many recluse nerds who love McDonald’s would ascend to immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Ye, do you have any more cola?” Yan Chixia asked excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s said that there’s still more.” Ye Chen replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chixia was extremely excited; if I drank this Divine Water every day, wouldn’t I ascend in no time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chixia was truly too excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, the strong are revered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still needs to hunt demons, so an increase in strength is immensely useful to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had this thing, he could stand against monstrosities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a cultivator, progress is divided into innate and acquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The innate is one’s own constitution; acquired involves consuming various spiritual medicines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, this cola is more effective than any kind of spiritual medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chixia never thought he would be so lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To achieve a breakthrough, he would need to rely on self-cultivation for at least ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet after drinking a glass of cola, he directly broke through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chixia had never felt so satisfied in his life of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, progress was like a snail’s pace, refining bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, drinking a glass of water led to a qualitative breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chixia was utterly amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Ye, is this beverage particularly precious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen heard this and laughed; “Not at all, in our place, ordinary people can afford it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chixia was suddenly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a powerful beverage is affordable even for ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that this person comes from the legendary Immortal Realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Yan Chixia thought about it, the more likely it seemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Ye Chen might come from the Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, everyone being able to afford this so-called cola divine water wouldn’t be strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Ning Caichen nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ning Caichen was leisurely sipping cola.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ning Caichen drink cola, Yan Chixia was almost heartbroken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This so-called cola divine water given to an ordinary person like Ning Caichen is simply too wasteful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chixia pitifully looked at Ye Chen, “Mr. Ye, do you have any more of that cola divine water?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen helplessly shook his head and said, “No more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though a bit regretful, Yan Chixia was already content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he enhanced his skills so much today, feeling very satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he needed to digest it further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen glanced at Ning Caichen and then said, “Brother Yan, I feel this temple is eerie, could there be unclean things here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Ning Caichen shivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Ye, don’t scare me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he’s not like Yan Chixia; he’s just an ordinary person, so when Ye Chen mentioned it, he was very frightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chixia heard this and laughed softly, “I already noticed the presence of yin energy here, that’s why I’m here, to subdue monsters and catch ghosts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Yan Chixia admired Ye Chen more and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Ye Chen was really generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually gave that Divine Water to me directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chixia even thought inwardly whether to give Ye Chen some precious items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chixia chuckled, “Don’t worry, Brother Ye, with me here, those demons and ghosts will come and never leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Yan Chixia’s words, Ning Caichen became even more frightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be, are there really monsters here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chixia chuckled, “Monsters, the things here are even more formidable than monsters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen laughed and said, “Since Brother Yan says it’s fine, it must be okay, don’t worry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen asked, “Brother Ning, I see you carrying luggage, heading to the capital for exams, it’s better not to stay here, right? If there really are demons and ghosts, you might lose your life here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Ning Caichen caught his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the area around this temple is desolate, there’s no village ahead or shop behind, what can he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen thought for a while and said, “How about this, I have a magical object that can transport you to a village dozens of miles away, it should be very safe there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen were astounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there such a Divine Artifact in the world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Caichen’s eyes brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Ye, this exam in the capital is crucial for me, I must pass, please help me.” Ning Caichen pleaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chixia can use spells, but he’s just an ordinary mortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled, “Alright then, since we’re destined to meet, I’ll help you leave here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Ning Caichen was filled with gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, I’m so thankful to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said, “Time is precious; it’s already night, let’s hurry and hit the road.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen hopped onto the motorcycle at the door and had Ning Caichen sit behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle dashed out instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the motorcycle arrived at a village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village was brightly lit, with shops as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen dropped Ning Caichen off and said, “Here you can rest properly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Ye, I will never forget your kindness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen casually smiled, “It’s nothing, just a small effort.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his heart, Ye Chen secretly laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, I should be the one thanking you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Ning Caichen should have been the protagonist; now he’s been sidelined by me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember, if you encounter any danger, just call my name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Caichen was taken aback; by then, Ye Chen had already left on his motorcycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the direction Ye Chen was heading, Ning Caichen was at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe this is the legendary impact. Knowing there’s danger, yet still heading there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen returned to Lanruo Temple again, Yan Chixia was already resting in another guest room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went to the room where Ning Caichen was supposed to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen lay on the bed, thinking about scenes from TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoqian is such a beauty; soon I will experience how she tempts me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen felt very excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beauty, come find me, come tempt me, lure me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a sound suddenly came from Ye Chen’s room, and soon footsteps were heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Xiaoqian, she’s finally here!\u003C\u002Fp>",1169,"2026-06-03T08:13:10.846Z","2026-06-03T08:13:15.311Z",1,"novelbin.me","41595c5b10cf61d74a52b80d288e01a1b146c6e95cfd5db527be10ac4a1f396a","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-1163","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-1161",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
