Chapter 660 656: Collecting Treasure Medicine
The Tuoba Family, where Tuoba Xiong resided, was just a small branch of the Tuoba Clan.
Therefore, unless there was something crucial, the powerful figures of the Tuoba Clan would not personally come to Cang Province.
Ye Chen's cultivation was only at the Sixth Layer of the Divine Mansion Realm. In the face of the massive Tuoba Clan, he was no different from an ant.
They certainly wouldn't go to great lengths to eradicate Ye Chen, an ant.
Unless they knew that Ye Chen was Shangguan Zitong's fiancé, they might send someone to capture Ye Chen.
So, for the time being, Ye Chen was relatively safe.
As long as he stayed within the Azure Sky Immortal Sect, no one could threaten him.
"Ye Chen, you mustn't let others know about obtaining the Five Elements Order. Otherwise, you could invite disaster at any moment. The saying 'an innocent man gets into trouble because of his riches' is something you should understand! So, I genuinely suggest you give this Five Elements Order to my lady. If she truly gains some benefits within that ancient ruin, she'll definitely share them with you," Hei Bo said gravely.
Although the Five Elements Order could help Ye Chen search for fortunes within that ancient ruin, it could also bring calamity upon him.
With Ye Chen's current strength, if anyone discovered this secret, he would certainly become a target for everyone.
Only a genius disciple from Ziwei Sacred Land like his lady could have the ability to protect the Five Elements Order.
If Ye Chen insisted on going his own way, he would get into trouble sooner or later.
"Hei Bo, I know you mean well for me, but I can safeguard this Five Elements Order myself! Alright, you and Zhu Er should leave Cang Province quickly. I will have someone secretly protect you," Ye Chen said.
"Sigh! Ignoring the advice of elders leads to immediate losses, Ye Chen, take care of yourself," Hei Bo couldn't help sighing seeing Ye Chen's stubbornness.
"Ye Chen, we're leaving now. Remember, if you truly want to explore that ancient ruin, make sure to contact us with the Communication Crystal Stone, and I will have my lady seek you out," Zhu Er said, her eyes holding a hint of reluctance as she gazed at Ye Chen.
Even she couldn't quite understand why she was somewhat reluctant to leave Ye Chen.
Perhaps because Ye Chen had once saved her life.
"Hmm! Until we meet again," Ye Chen nodded.
"Take care, benefactor."
"This farewell, who knows when we can meet again." Ye Chen's adoptive father and mother, along with Ouyang Xue, escorted Zhu Er and Hei Bo to the hall's entrance, their eyes revealing a touch of sadness.
This time, if it weren't for Hei Bo, they would have been killed by the people sent by Xiahou Dian.
This favor they naturally would never forget.
"All good things must come to an end. Let's hope we'll meet again, farewell," Hei Bo cupped his hands to everyone before quickly flying towards Azure Sky City with Zhu Er.
Watching Hei Bo and Zhu Er depart, Ye Chen took out his Communication Crystal Stone and began contacting Venerable Qingfeng.
Although Hei Bo's cultivation had already stepped into the Profound Pill Realm, it wasn't certain that he could deal with the Tuoba Family's powerful figures.
If Tuoba Xiong sent people to capture them, it would be troublesome.
So to be safe, Ye Chen decided to have Venerable Qingfeng secretly protect them.
"Haha, Grandmaster Ye Chen, leave this little matter to me. Rest assured, with me around, no one can harm your friends even slightly," said Venerable Qingfeng from a grand, golden hall after receiving Ye Chen's message.
"Also, please gather all the treasure medicines containing Wood Spirit Qi from the Celestial Pill Pavilion branch for me, and deduct the cost from my profits," Ye Chen continued messaging.
"Okay, no problem," Venerable Qingfeng agreed without hesitation.
He didn't know what Ye Chen was going to do with so many Wood Spirit Qi treasure medicines.
But any request from Ye Chen was one he generally would not refuse.
Whoosh!
The next moment, his figure flickered and instantly disappeared from where he stood.
"Alright, now it's time to improve my own strength." After finishing all this, Ye Chen was ready to return and start closed-door cultivation.
He knew that the entrance to the ancient ruin had already appeared, and he could enter and explore at any time.
However, with his current cultivation too weak, rushing into the ancient ruin could lead to danger at any moment.
So, he planned to wait until his cultivation broke through to the Profound Pill Realm before entering the ancient ruin.
By that time, his strength would undergo a tremendous transformation. Even without the War God Puppet, he would be confident in crushing a Saint Son like Tuoba You.
After all, Tuoba You had only recently entered the middle stage of the Profound Pill Realm and was regarded as the weakest among the nine Saint Sons of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.
If Ye Chen couldn't even defeat him, what would he have to compete with the Saint Sons of other major sects?
"Master, even if you break through to the Profound Pill Realm, you may not be able to defeat Ji Yuan. Unless you can fully master one or two Celestial-level Martial Arts, besides that, breaking through your Divine Soul Cultivation to the Fourth Layer of the Soul Emergence Realm could also greatly enhance your strength," the voice of the Tower Spirit suddenly echoed in Ye Chen's mind.
"Hmm! The reason I had Venerable Qingfeng collect the treasure medicines containing Wood Spirit Qi was to gain more Power of Enlightenment and see if I could master a Celestial-level Martial Art," Ye Chen nodded.
It was known that Celestial-level Martial Arts were much more challenging to cultivate compared to Earth-level Martial Arts.
Earlier, Ye Chen had cultivated the "Heaven-Sundering Sword Technique," an Earth-level lower grade martial art, which consumed up to eighty thousand points of Power of Enlightenment.
It was hard to imagine how much Power of Enlightenment was needed to fully master a Celestial-level Martial Art.
The treasure medicines containing Wood Spirit Qi, when absorbed by the Enlightenment Divine Tower, could transform into a large amount of Power of Enlightenment.
Therefore, Ye Chen naturally wanted to find ways to collect them, and the more, the better.
"Even if the master gathered enough Wood Spirit Qi, without a Celestial-level Martial Art, it would be useless. So I still suggest you first break through your Divine Soul Cultivation to the Soul Emergence Realm," the Tower Spirit advised.
So far, Ye Chen had only obtained one Celestial-level Martial Art, the "Void Divine Fist," and it was incomplete.
After all, Celestial-level Martial Arts were extremely rare, and even Overlord Body Peak had very few.
And only the Saint Sons of Overlord Body Peak were qualified to cultivate them.
Currently, Ye Chen was merely a True Disciple of Overlord Body Peak and naturally didn't have such qualifications.
Unless Venerable Zi Chen was willing to make an exception for him.
"I'll find a way about the Celestial-level Martial Arts issue. Let me start cultivating my Divine Soul now." With a flash, Ye Chen rushed towards the Cultivation Chamber.
At present, he had the Profound Spirit backing him.
He didn't believe there would be anyone who dared cause trouble for his adoptive father and mother on Dragon Elephant Peak.
Moreover, Venerable Zi Chen, upon learning someone had infiltrated Dragon Elephant Peak, had already ordered several Elders of Overlord Body Peak to investigate.
With them around, there would be even fewer people daring to harm his family and friends.
Unless they sought death.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
As Ye Chen entered the Cultivation Chamber, several figures suddenly sped from the sky, landing in front of a hall outside the number of Dragon Elephant Peak.
"Gongyang Tai, get out here quickly. How are you protecting Dragon Elephant Peak?" a middle-aged man in a golden robe said furiously.
This middle-aged man was none other than Jin Kun Zhenren, the Ninth Elder of Overlord Body Peak.
