"Gift successfully delivered."
"Gift: Blue Sea Essence!"
"Feedback in progress!"
"200 times feedback in progress."
"Detected that the gift given by the host... Triggered a critical strike reward!"
"Reward: Myriad Things Pill Soil!"
"A primordial essence of heaven and earth, capable of nourishing all things. When used during the formation of a Golden Core, it can significantly improve the quality of the Golden Core..."
As Ye Chen looked at the reward, his heart was in turmoil. His Master was truly impressive. The Blue Sea Essence, which only increased the chance of forming a Golden Core by less than half a percent, had transformed into the Myriad Things Pill Soil, which could greatly improve the quality of the Golden Core? This was simply unbelievable.
Myriad Things Pill Soil was considered one of the most valuable treasures for a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage. Its fame was widespread. It was a true heaven and earth spirit object. It could nourish all things and had many uses.
In the ancient times, humanity had relied on discovering that Myriad Things Pill Soil could elevate the quality of the Golden Core, allowing their strength to rise dramatically and barely enabling them to compete with the many other races.
However, just like the main ingredients of the original Five Elements Pill that became extinct due to changes in the natural world, Myriad Things Pill Soil had become increasingly scarce. By the ancient era, it was almost extinct.
Moreover, Myriad Things Pill Soil had many more important uses, so it was impossible to use it for a Foundation Establishment cultivator. In the ancient times, it was rare to hear of anyone breaking through to the Golden Core using Myriad Things Pill Soil. And now, it was nothing more than a legend.
In this situation, for Ye Chen to receive a portion of Myriad Things Pill Soil was beyond priceless. Its value was unimaginable. It was worth countless times more than the formula for the new Five Elements Pill.
Ye Chen had always pursued perfection. The spiritual objects and treasures he used to break through to the Golden Core stage in the future would undoubtedly be of the highest quality.
Now, with the addition of the Myriad Things Pill Soil to his collection, and considering that Ye Chen was cultivating the West Emperor Scripture, the most powerful Foundation Establishment technique, his future breakthroughs were bound to be exceptional.
Ye Chen felt that the coveted nine-turn Golden Core that most cultivators dreamed of might not be his ultimate limit.
However, Ye Chen had never heard of any better Golden Core beyond the nine-turn. So, he wasn't sure what kind of Golden Core he would form when the time came. It could be a waste of effort, and he might still form a Nine-turn Golden Core. But it was also possible that he would surpass all predecessors and form a more extraordinary Golden Core.
The chances might be slim, but regardless, Ye Chen was willing to give it a try. His Master had given him such a great surprise. Naturally, Ye Chen wasn't going to be stingy. He immediately took out the jade bottle containing the Glazed Purification Water, which he had prepared long ago.
"Master, this is Glazed Purification Water. It can enhance cultivation, improve spirit sense, and most importantly, if taken before a breakthrough, it can optimize a cultivator's condition, increase the chance of forming a Golden Core, and possibly improve the quality of the Golden Core. This is a treasure of the Buddhist sect. I went to great lengths to obtain it. Master, please make sure no one else knows about this. It could cause trouble."
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
It wasn't that Ye Chen was being overly cautious. Glazed Purification Water, a sacred water of the Buddhist sect, was so scarce within the sect that they could barely supply enough to their own members. If it suddenly appeared outside, it would definitely attract attention and investigation. So many things had to be kept low-profile.
At that moment, Gu Yunyun was truly shocked. Her stunning phoenix eyes widened in disbelief. Ye Chen had actually taken out the Buddhist sect's sacred Glazed Purification Water? If the Blue Sea Essence from earlier was a treasure that even cultivators from major families or large factions might be able to acquire with some effort, then this Glazed Purification Water was truly something that only existed in legends. Ordinary people outside the Buddhist sect wouldn't even catch a whiff of it. Yet Ye Chen had brought out a bottle?
Glazed Purification Water could improve the chances of forming a Golden Core and might even increase the quality of the Golden Core.
Faced with such a treasure, Gu Yunyun's first reaction was to refuse: "Keep it for yourself!"
She was still planning to prepare resources for Ye Chen to break through to the Golden Core stage after he reached it. But at this moment, just seeing the Glazed Purification Water, Gu Yunyun knew that not only would she be unable to obtain resources for her own Golden Core, but even for a Nascent Soul breakthrough, she might not be able to get it. Such a treasure was something she absolutely could not accept.
However, in this moment, Ye Chen didn't listen to his Master at all. With great determination, he stretched his hand out and placed the Glazed Purification Water directly into Gu Yunyun's hand.
This left Gu Yunyun stunned. Even so, she knew she couldn't accept it. Just as Gu Yunyun was about to return the Glazed Purification Water to Ye Chen, her movements suddenly froze.
Because Ye Chen, once again, took out another jade bottle identical to the one in her hand. "Master, please accept it. I have another bottle..."
The Glazed Purification Water, so precious that it was beyond description, was already unbelievable for Ye Chen to possess. And now, he had two bottles? This was simply beyond reason.
Gu Yunyun knew about Ye Chen's family situation. She also knew that Ye Chen's father had died, but his body had never been found. She was aware that Ye Chen's father wasn't from the Ye family.
At this moment, Gu Yunyun began to wonder—could Ye Chen's father have been a powerful defector from the Buddhist sect? Otherwise, how could Ye Chen possibly have obtained this Glazed Purification Water?
But no matter where it had come from, Ye Chen could give such a precious treasure so freely and even forcefully present it to her. This clearly showed how much Ye Chen valued her.
Feeling Ye Chen's firm resolve, Gu Yunyun fell completely silent…
...
Gu Yunyun had always understood Ye Chen's feelings. But she had been avoiding them. It had to do with their Master-disciple relationship and many other factors played a part.
When she had received so many things from Ye Chen before, Gu Yunyun could comfort herself with the thought that once she broke through to the Golden Core, she would repay Ye Chen with an even greater treasure. But now, with the Glazed Purification Water in hand...
Gu Yunyun could no longer feel at ease accepting it. How could she ever repay such a heavy gift?
Gu Yunyun felt as though Ye Chen had pushed her to the edge of a cliff.
...
Seeing his Master fall silent, Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction. His Master was incredibly important to him. When he had first crossed over to this world, his days in Silver Moon Market had been filled with anxiety. Whenever he used the system, he had to come up with all sorts of reasons to explain the origin of his wealth. Just thinking about it exhausted him.
But once he arrived at Green Cloud Sect and had his Master, everything changed. He no longer had to explain anything with effort. Even if there were speculations from the outside world, no one dared to target him.
All of this was because he had a Master who would protect him and act when necessary. So even if the Glazed Purification Water didn't trigger any feedback and couldn't activate the system, Ye Chen still wanted to make sure his Master accepted it.
However, Ye Chen felt that just this wasn't enough. It would be best if his Master could break through perfectly. In the future, his Master might even encounter new opportunities, such as gaining a bloodline or physique that would further increase her multiplier.
That way, Ye Chen could continue to admire and support her. Although receiving rewards for favoring female cultivators was great, and the feedback would still be substantial if a critical strike occurred, the experience of supporting his Master was different. Perhaps it was the bond of Master and disciple that made it feel more fulfilling.
When Ye Chen gave his support, the pleasure of the feedback was accompanied by a subtle joy. So, after some thought, Ye Chen asked, "Master, have you prepared the spiritual objects you need for your breakthrough?"
