After Sun Yi put on the facial mask, she returned to her room in a rather satisfied manner.

Before she did, she joked with Ye Chen, “The dream I’ve had for so many years has finally come true. This is all thanks to you.”

“Oh right, on a lonely night like this, when a man and a woman are alone, strange things may occur.”

Ye Chen pretended to stand up, but Sun Yi stuck out her tongue at Ye Chen and closed the door while humming a tune.

Ye Chen rubbed his nose helplessly and returned to his room. He entered the secret chamber and began cultivating.

Although he had absolute confidence in his ability to defeat Chen Baoguo, there was no reason not to increase his strength just to be on the safe side.

Even if an accident happened, he still had his biggest trump card, which was the black stone and that one tombstone that could be activated.

He wondered how powerful these ancient experts were.

“Forget it, there’s no point dreaming about such things. I need to focus on my cultivation.”

Right now, he was a seventh-level soul opening realm cultivator. He decided to consume a few pills and see if he could break through to the eighth level tonight.

Ye Chen closed his eyes and circulated the Nine Heavens Arcane Sun technique. A faint red light covered his body, and a powerful aura swept out from his dantian.

At that moment, the black stone flew up and hovered above Ye Chen’s head.

A thread of spiritual qi shot out from the black stone and drilled into Ye Chen’s forehead!

Suddenly, the entire room flashed red, and Ye Chen’s cultivation level started to rise rapidly.

The next day, Ye Chen opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

After a night of cultivation, he had successfully reached the eighth level of the soul opening realm!

“The speed at which my cultivation is progressing is absurdly fast. Logically speaking, the spiritual energy in Huaxia is thin, and I should be cultivating slower, but the opposite seems to be happening.”

Ye Chen’s gaze fell on the black stone.

“Is it because of you?”

At this moment, the black stone actually floated up and shook gently, as if it was nodding.

“F*ck! The stone can move?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the black stone fell silent again, as if it was a little angry.

Ye Chen was about to continue studying the black stone when he heard Sun Yi’s voice outside.

“Ye Chen, it’s time for breakfast! It won’t wait for you forever.”

“I’m here!”

After breakfast, Sun Yi went to the Heavenly Justice Group while Ye Chen called Ying Qing over to collect the pills.

Ten minutes later, Ying Qing and another man arrived at the Tomson condominium and rang the doorbell.

Ye Chen opened the door and Ying Qing said excitedly, “Mr. Ye, sorry to disturb you…”

After yesterday’s incident, Ying Qing had even changed the way he addressed him.

He knew very well the gravity of his leader’s words yesterday. Moreover, it was obvious that the leader thought highly of the man in front of him!

Ye Chen glanced at the two people at the door and nodded. He casually took a plastic bag from the table and handed it to Ying Qing.

Ying Qing thought it was breakfast and quickly waved his hand.

“Mr. Ye, you’re too polite. I’ve had breakfast at the base.”

Ye Chen was stunned. He rolled his eyes at Ying Qing and said, “The two hundred pills are inside. If you don’t want them, then forget it.”

Hmm?

Pills?

Ying Qing subconsciously reached out his hand.

Such precious pills were actually stored in a plastic bag?

What if the pills were contaminated?

Ying Qing came to his senses and looked inside the plastic bag suspiciously. His face instantly turned pale when he did.

F*ck! This kid actually put the medicinal pills inside!

He looked flustered and quickly instructed his companion, “Hurry up! Bring me the oxygen-insulated device from the car!”

“Captain, but the device contains the blood samples we collected from this mission.”

“Throw those away!”

Ying Qing scolded, “Blood samples can be collected again, but what if there is a problem with the pills! Hurry up and go!”

“Yes, Captain!”

Ye Chen could not help but laugh when he saw their reactions. He reminded them, “The pills I refined are not that fragile. They don’t need an airtight environment. Just put them in plastic bags. Don’t worry. If you have any problems, just look for me.”

When Ying Qing heard Ye Chen’s assurance, he heaved a sigh of relief and gave Ye Chen a standard military salute. “On behalf of the Dragon Soul Commando Team, I thank you for everything you’ve done!”

“Don’t give me that. Also, I’m not sending you off.”

Ye Chen was about to close the door when Ying Qing quickly said, “There’s one more thing. The leader asked me to inform you that no matter what tricks Chen Baoguo and the Jiang family play tomorrow, we will take action if necessary!”

“Thanks.”

The door closed.

At the same time, in a teahouse in River City, Chen Baoguo and Jiang Yuanli were seated on a table together with an old man exuding a terrifying aura.

The old man was one of the referees of the duel this time, Yuan Jingfu!

He was a top-notch expert who had once entered the top 400 of Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings!

Jiang Yuanli was only ranked 514th! Moreover, after cultivating for so many years, he could not even enter the top 500!

Yuan Jingfu had been active in Jiangnan Province for the past ten years, building his influence and foundation in Jiangnan Province the entire time.

Not only that, he was also the vice president of Jiangnan Province’s Martial Arts Association!

Many martial arts grandmasters could not even enter the Martial Arts Association!

From this, it could be seen how noble Yuan Jingfu’s identity was.

Due to his position, Yuan Jingfu was in charge of the martial arts arena in River City. As long as the martial arts arena was used for a challenge, he would be the duel’s referee.

At this moment, Yuan Jingfu was drinking an expensive cup of tea brewed from the leaves of a tea plant that Chen Baoguo had brought back from Wuyi Mountain. He looked at the two people in front of him with interest.

“You two grandmasters didn’t invite me here just for tea, right?”

Chen Baoguo quickly took out a brocade box and carefully placed it in front of Yuan Jingfu. “Before Elder Yuan, how can we call ourselves grandmasters? We can only be considered juniors.”

“This is a gift from a junior to you, Elder Yuan.”

Yuan Jingfu was already used to such things. It was normal for the weak to respect the strong and seek protection.

He opened the box and glanced at it. Suddenly, his pupils constricted and he said in surprise, “A thousand-year-old spirit-seeking ginseng! What a generous gift.”

The spirit-seeking ginseng had an extremely strong stabilizing effect after a martial artist’s breakthrough, and was especially important at Yuan Jingfu’s current level.

It was also extremely rare to find one that was over a thousand years old.

“It’s not expensive, it’s not expensive. Only Elder Yuan is worthy of this thing.”

Yuan Jingfu looked deeply at Chen Baoguo and nodded.

“You’re not bad. When you become a little stronger, you can try to apply to enter Jiangnan Province’s Martial Arts Association.”

Chen Baoguo’s face was flushed red. He was obviously excited to hear this.

Not long after, he remembered his biggest purpose for coming here and quickly said, “Elder Yuan, tomorrow is the duel between this junior and that kid.”

Yuan Jingfu’s eyes narrowed slightly. Of course, he understood what the other party’s intentions were. He smiled and said, “That kid is only in his twenties and hasn’t even grown his hair yet. You actually don’t have the confidence to defeat him?”

Chen Baoguo shook his head. “No, no, Elder Yuan, don’t look down on that kid. I heard that he obtained a magical pill from the auction. After taking it, his strength will increase greatly! I’m afraid that this kid will use this kind of unfair pill to fight me!”

“Moreover, that kid has already said that he will kill me in the martial arts arena. He even boasted that even if Elder Yuan was there, that you wouldn’t be able to stop him!”

This was the spiel that Chen Baoguo and Jiang Yuanli had discussed yesterday in an attempt to smear Ye Chen’s name.

When Yuan Jingfu heard that Ye Chen was using a forbidden pill, he snorted coldly and slammed his palm on the table.

“He dares to say such a thing?! With me here, if he defeats you using a forbidden pill, I will make him kneel in front of you and die to atone for his sins!”
