He thought that given the Empress's personality, after killing Luo Dian, she would act as if nothing happened and do nothing else. But now the Empress directly sent an envoy to apologize and even gifted a Nine-Spirit Night Pearl. It truly left him bewildered!

He rubbed his temples: "Does your Empress think the matter of Luo Dian is very serious?" The Imperial Dynasty envoy said with utmost respect: "The Empress thinks it is very serious, so she specially sent us to apologize. Young Palace Master, we hope you will absolutely not be angry; the Empress did not know about this matter." Xu Chen said: "Good! Whether she knew or not, I feel her sincerity. Go back and tell the Empress I will not blame her. As for this Night Pearl, forget it, take it back." Hearing this, those envoys immediately said anxiously: "The Empress ordered us to say you must accept it, otherwise she will kill us. Because this Night Pearl was made by her own hand, its meaning is extraordinary." Xu Chen felt a toothache; this woman...

He was slightly impatient: "Fine, put it here, you can leave." He had just been cultivating and was rudely disturbed by these people. And they gifted this so-called Night Pearl, which is basically useless anyway! Hearing this, those envoys said: "Yes!"

The disciples of Jixia Xuegong around, seeing this scene, immediately had their mouths wide open. Good lord, you disdain and are impatient with the Empress's gift, awesome! In the entire Tianzun Dynasty, probably only the Young Palace Master dares to do such a thing. Just as everyone thought all matters were about to end, golden light suddenly surged above Xu Chen's head. A crimson-gold dragon, accompanied by a roar, slowly appeared above. Appearing at the same time was a graceful, breathtakingly beautiful woman. She was full of nobility and dragon energy, barefoot, walking on air. An indescribable majesty, hard to define, subtly emanated from her, making people tremble with awe. With such momentum, who else could it be but the Empress Luo Shen? Xu Chen was a bit stunned; the Empress came in person? Damn, what is this woman going to do?

The tens of thousands of people around, seeing this scene, were immediately stunned.

Holy crap, did the Empress really come in person to apologize?

For real? This is even more outrageous than the gift!

Before Xu Chen could speak, he heard the Empress say in a melancholy tone: "You, don't like my Night Pearl?"

In her words, her charm was enchanting, her brilliance dazzling.

Her voice was even more like heavenly music, as if capable of snatching souls and stealing spirits. Xu Chen was numb; what should he say?

She came in person; saying he didn't like it would be a bit excessive. But if he said he liked it, what if this woman takes advantage? He didn't doubt at all that the Empress had the idea of pouncing on him. He helplessly said: "It's okay, just not something I use much."

Everyone was stunned again; this tone sounded like he was reluctantly accepting it? The Young Palace Master is awesome, so awesome!

The Empress said softly: "I made this Night Pearl for several days, quite hard work." Xu Chen: "…………"

What does hard work have to do with him? He couldn't understand it anyway.

He bared his teeth and said: "Thank you for the Empress's gift; I guarantee there will be no rift between Jixia Xuegong and the Tianzun Dynasty."

Hearing this, the Empress immediately asked: "Then will you participate in the Tianzun Dynasty's selection?" Xu Chen nodded: "I will."

Hearing this, the Empress's dark eyebrows bloomed, and she gave a breathtaking smile: "Then I will wait for you." After speaking, her body moved lightly, and she vanished from the spot.

Only a faint fragrant breeze remained, refreshing and intoxicating, making people's hearts wander.

She smiled inwardly; as long as Xu Chen participates, she has a way to make Xu Chen win. As for that so-called protagonist Ye Xuan, go die for me.

Xu Chen looked around: "Everyone disperse; this Young Palace Master needs to cultivate." Hearing this, everyone chuckled dryly and then left one by one.

However, after this incident, Xu Chen's image in their hearts became even more towering and mighty. Too strong; Young Palace Master, a model for our generation!

Ling Sheng Quan Ling and Huo Qilin gritted their teeth and said: "This woman, I think, just wants to seduce Brother Chen." Xu Chen coughed: "Don't talk nonsense, keep a low profile."

The two women didn't continue speaking, but they were still pouting angrily.

Bu Fengshuang didn't say much; she could see that currently, all the female protagonists have been reborn. And without her saying it, every one of them is helping Xu Chen.

Since that's the case, she was too lazy to investigate. As long as Xu Chen doesn't suffer grievances, then it's fine. While pondering, Xu Chen continued his body refinement. This time, no one disturbed him again.

Five days later, with the help of a large amount of Pills and the Soul Refining Liquid obtained from the Secret Realm, Xu Chen raised his physical body to the Seven-Rank Initial Stage.

"The resources Shangguan Luoyun gave me are simply too many; I couldn't get this much even if I robbed."

"And Bu Fengshuang, her Spirit Gathering Array must have gathered so much Spiritual Qi; I'm moved," Xu Chen thought inwardly.

If he uses them, it will be hard to refuse certain things later.

Especially if they have any problems, then he really will have to help.

Although he doesn't want to get close to the female protagonists, if the female protagonists get close to him, there's no way out.

Seeing Xu Chen wake up, Bu Fengshuang said: "By the way, Chen, take out that stone and let's see it." Xu Chen nodded, suddenly startled: "You didn't mention it, I almost forgot."

Recently he had been immersed in the joy of abundant resources, so for a moment he forgot about this thing.

He immediately took it out of his Storage Ring and found that the pebble had turned black.

Faintly, wisps of black Poison Qi were emanating from it.

Xu Chen immediately activated the Shen Yu Battle Armor to isolate this black Poison Qi.

Bu Fengshuang took out a pile of white gloves, put them on, and said: "Let me see it." Xu Chen handed it to Bu Fengshuang as instructed. After a long while, Bu Fengshuang said: "This thing is very rare; it is a stone condensed from the essence blood of ancient poison cultivators."

This pebble contains the essence blood of at least a thousand poison cultivators.

Most importantly, every drop of essence blood belongs to a Sixth Grade Consummation Stage expert.

Piled together, it has already undergone a qualitative change, comparable to a Seventh Grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure." Xu Chen, in his previous life, didn't know much about poison cultivators, so he asked curiously: "Then what is its name?" Bu Fengshuang said: "Ancient Essence Profound Stone. This thing can automatically absorb any Poison Qi of Seventh Grade or below."

Even if refined by a poison cultivator of Eighth Grade or above, it can be upgraded.

If upgraded to Ninth Grade, it can absorb any Ninth Grade poison.

If not refined, if a poison cultivator directly absorbs all the Poison Qi inside, their cultivation will skyrocket." Xu Chen sighed: "No wonder that Yaodu Popo wanted to snatch it back then; it is indeed very precious."

Bu Fengshuang nodded: "Yaodu saw it at a glance; for her, this is at least comparable to tens of thousands of high-grade Spirit Stones."

Xu Chen said: "Forget it, give it to you; I don't use poison."

Bu Fengshuang thought for a moment: "Fine, anyway, I am yours; if there is danger, I will give it to you." Xu Chen: "……"

Such tiger-and-wolf words; I'm scared, I'm scared.

Bu Fengshuang is not only fierce in strength, but her words are also fiercely impactful; I can't take it!

Xu Chen thought: "Just right, Bishui Qingming Rain is unused; I will refine the Shen Yu Battle Armor, which will probably take about half a month."

The time required for artifact refinement is much longer than cultivation. Bu Fengshuang said: "Good."

After speaking, she, along with Huo Qilin and Ling Sheng Quan Ling, stood aside to guard for Xu Chen. "Buzz!"

Xu Chen began to summon the Battle Armor, hovering in mid-air. Then, he sprinkled Bishui Qingming Rain onto the Shen Yu Battle Armor, repairing various marks on the armor. After repairing the marks, Xu Chen finally began to refine the armor. Time passed bit by bit, and the marks on the Shen Yu Battle Armor also vanished rapidly. About ten days later, the marks were completely repaired, and it regained its crystal-clear appearance. Another seven days later, the aura of the Shen Yu Battle Armor kept rising. "Boom!"

The next second, the aura of the Shen Yu Battle Armor suddenly broke through from Sixth Grade Consummation Stage to Seventh Grade Initial Stage.

The entire armor remained crystal clear, as if naturally formed, magnificent and flawless, without a single flaw.

It just hovered in mid-air like that, looking like an excellent work of art. Xu Chen touched it and found it incredibly smooth, with an excellent feel. If something were used to describe it, it would be diamond.

But the Shen Yu Battle Armor, compared to diamond, has a more rounded luster, and its visual effect is even more explosive. With a thought of his Divine Sense, this Shen Yu Battle Armor instantly covered his body, with a mighty momentum. It was as if the armor was a part of his body.

"Once the Seventh Grade Shen Yu Battle Armor appears, Seventh Grade Initial Stage experts will likely be unable to harm me at all."

Xu Chen clenched his fist and chuckled lightly.

With a movement of his Divine Sense, the Shen Yu Battle Spear extended from his palm, its sharpness fully revealed. With a light slash, a continuous humming sound arose, and the air suddenly exploded.

Even the space itself seemed to be on the verge of being slashed apart by Xu Chen. "Recently, the Nine Heavens still haven't found the E Nan Female Lead."

"It's been less than half a month since the Tianzun Dynasty's selection."

"But since there's nothing else going on for now, I'll refine my Divine Sense," Xu Chen pondered. The previous Soul Refining Liquid had not only tempered his physical body but also unconsciously enhanced his Divine Sense.

At this moment, his Divine Sense had surpassed the Consummation Stage of the Sixth Grade. Fortunately, the Pills Shangguan Luoyun gave him were plentiful, greatly aiding the refinement of his Divine Sense. With that thought, he sat down cross-legged, swallowed the Pills, and continued refining his Divine Sense. Six days later, Xu Chen's Divine Sense broke through the Consummation Stage of the Sixth Grade and advanced to the Initial Stage of the Seventh Grade. At this moment, whether it was his physical body, his Divine Sense, or his realm, all were above the Seventh Grade. "Heavenly Monarch Jun Tian, the E Nan Person has been found." Just at this moment, Zhao Qingyun's voice came through. Xu Chen sighed; finally, there was news!

Since his cultivation had succeeded, he would go there right now.

This was also the plot he had to experience.
