Ye Chen barely sensed it before his cultivation leapt directly from One-Star Dou Huang to Three-Star Dou Huang.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three golden dragons roared out from his body as his cultivation surged once more, directly reaching Six-Star Dou Huang.
If an ordinary One-Star Dou Huang expert consumed this pill, they would likely advance only to Three-Star or Four-Star Dou Huang before reaching their limit.
But for Ye Chen, even after reaching Six-Star Dou Huang, there was still no sign of stagnation.
After a pause lasting less than half a second, Ye Chen's Six-Star Dou Huang realm loosened again, allowing him to smoothly break through to Seven-Star Dou Huang.
Eight-Star Dou Huang!
Nine-Star Dou Huang!
Finally, after eight golden dragons soared into the air, Ye Chen's cultivation stabilized at the middle stage of Nine-Star Dou Huang.
Fortunately, Ye Chen possessed a Concealing Spirit Stone.
Otherwise, if word spread that someone had advanced from One-Star Dou Huang to Nine-Star Dou Huang in mere seconds, it would terrify countless experts.
"Nine-Star Dou Huang… It seems I won't be long from preparing to break through to Dou Zong."
Feeling the explosive power coursing through his body, Ye Chen murmured to himself.
At this point, only the final reward remained unchecked.
Restoration Pill: Designed for postpartum women, it rapidly restores vitality, repairs bodily injuries, strengthens the physique, and improves cultivation.
"So it's this kind of pill. The system is quite considerate."
A trace of gentleness appeared in Ye Chen's eyes.
Although this was a fantasy world, childbirth was still an extremely painful ordeal for women, and postpartum recovery was crucial.
Originally, Ye Chen had asked Yao Chen to refine recovery pills for his wives after childbirth, but those were clearly inferior to this Restoration Pill.
"Yanran should take one first."
With that decision made, Ye Chen left the secret chamber and headed toward Nalan Yanran's room.
On the fragrant bed, after taking the Restoration Pill Ye Chen brought, the exhaustion on Nalan Yanran's face completely vanished.
Her complexion became even better than that of an ordinary person, and the injuries caused by childbirth healed rapidly.
"Husband, the effect of this pill is incredible!"
Feeling the changes within her body, Nalan Yanran sat up in surprise.
"This is a Restoration Pill. I had a master alchemist refine it specially," Ye Chen said gently.
"Husband, you're so good…"
Nalan Yanran smiled sweetly and leaned her head lightly against Ye Chen's shoulder.
Three days later, Ye Chen left the palace once more. This time, his destination was Wutan City.
According to Ling Ying, the Ancient Clan's venerable would likely arrive within ten days to contact Xiao Xun'er and inquire about her progress in investigating the Emperor Jade.
Although that venerable might not be able to trace Xiao Xun'er's disappearance back to Ye Chen, Ye Chen valued stability and refused to leave such a hidden danger unresolved.
With his current cultivation, Ye Chen spread his Thunder Wings and flew at full speed, reaching Wutan City in just one day.
After arriving in the small city, Ye Chen immediately used the Concealing Spirit Stone to suppress his aura to the Dou Shi level and quickly located Ling Ying.
"Master, you've arrived!"
Inside an inn room outside the Xiao Family Manor, Ling Ying bowed respectfully to Ye Chen.
"Ling Ying, has the Ancient Clan venerable come this year yet?" Ye Chen asked directly.
"Not yet, but he should arrive within the next few days," Ling Ying replied, shaking her head.
"That venerable always contacts me first when he arrives.
Even if he can't sense Miss's aura, he will still come to see me."
"Good."
Ye Chen nodded. "Keep watch during this time. If he appears, try to lead him to a secluded location."
Now that Ye Chen possessed a Nine-Turn Dou Zun Peak Experience Card, he was filled with confidence.
If the venerable sent by the Ancient Clan was merely an ordinary Dou Zun, Ye Chen could suppress him with a flick of his hand.
In cultivation, the gap between each minor realm was vast....especially in the later stages.
Within the Soul Hall, the so-called Ninth Heavenly Venerable, Mo Yu, was only an Eight-Star Dou Zun, yet he could kill a Six-Star Dou Zun expert in just a few moves.
However, he was utterly powerless before a true Nine-Star Dou Zun.
