Chapter 1030 - 476: Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer; Three Disciples_2

Chen Ye replied earnestly, "What the True Inheritor said is half true and half false. What’s hard isn’t wings."

"Hmm? Hmm!! You filthy scoundrel!"

The blonde girl realized something was amiss and struggled to get up, embarrassed and frustrated.

Yet Chen Ye’s arms were firmly wrapped around her waist, and no matter how angry she became, she couldn’t break free, and the struggle only drew them closer.

"Stop moving around. You’ve just broken through, and your aura is unstable. If you actually suffer a deviation, it’s True Inheritor Bai who will be hurt."

With a hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth, Chen Ye rested his chin on the girl’s slender shoulder and spoke calmly:

"Besides, it was clearly True Inheritor Bai who insisted on sitting down. I’m just following the natural order; how does that make me a rogue?"

"You... You’re twisting words!"

Bai Susu ground her teeth in anger and glared at him irritably:

"Alright, stop bantering with me here! Since you’ve reached the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, what’s your plan for Core Formation? Even though you’re at the Ninth Layer, forming a core isn’t an easy task. Nearly eighty percent of Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivators never form a core in their lifetime."

Bai Susu’s words were true.

There were far too many cultivators who remained stuck at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment.

Amongst those Fake Pill cultivators in the sect, who wasn’t a prodigy in their youth?

In the end, they had to resort to forming a Fake Pill.

Take Xu Henshan, the ancestor of the Xu family, hundreds of years old, and only just reached the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment... However, according to Xu Changhe, Xu Henshan had already formed a core two years ago, and he’s been cultivating in seclusion on Dragon Sleep Mountain since then, few people knew of this. In a few days, he will officially emerge and announce his Core Formation.

Discussing serious matters, Chen Ye restrained his playful tone and pondered:

"What other plan can I have? It took me several years to cultivate from the Eighth Layer to the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment. If I proceed step by step, I fear it will take quite a bit longer."

"Fortunately, I obtained the Six Qi Pill Formula from Huayue Mansion. Although this pill is for early-stage Golden Core True Men, my foundation is robust. Ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills, even Condensation Pills, no longer have significant effects on me. Rather, this Six Qi Pill Formula resolves my immediate needs."

After Chen Ye reached the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment,

he found that the effects of the Condensation Pill had diminished considerably. Although it still offered substantial assistance, transitioning from extravagance to frugality was challenging, so naturally the Six Qi Pill was more appealing.

Upon hearing this,

Bai Susu smiled with certainty and lightly tapped Chen Ye’s chest with her jade-like fingers:

"Humph, now you have to go whether you want to or not."

"In all of Yan Kingdom, Medicine King Valley has the highest alchemy prowess. Even my Lingyin Sect can’t compare. That Six Qi Pill Formula is complex to concoct, even if you’re a genius in alchemy, it will still take a significant amount of time to study."

"If you were to go to Medicine King Valley and obtain their alchemical heritage... Tsk tsk..."

Chen Ye paused in his actions, realizing what had happened.

It turned out,

Bai Susu’s persuasion for him to visit Medicine King Valley was actually targeting their heritage!

One must admit,

Bai Susu’s proposal was quite tempting for Chen Ye.

Though the Six Qi Pill Formula is indeed complex and requires numerous special alchemical techniques.

Yet Chen Ye has a proficiency panel, and with years of persistent practice, he could eventually master it... but the problem is, this prolonged period would delay him considerably.

If he could acquire Medicine King Valley’s heritage, it would undoubtedly advance his alchemy further.

Whether it be concocting the Six Qi Pill or other high-tier pills, he would handle them effortlessly.

"But... rumor has it Medicine King Valley acquired the true meaning of alchemy from Songyang Sect, even with favors, it may not be possible to gain such heritage."

Chen Ye hesitated.

"Of course, that’s not all... Anyway, it’s a long story, have you heard of betrothal martial contests?"

The blonde girl pinched Chen Ye’s cheek, smiling brightly.

"You want me to participate in a betrothal martial contest? Besides... a major sect wouldn’t hold a betrothal martial contest, it’s too juvenile."

Chen Ye’s expression changed; he frowned and shook his head.

What a joke?

Medicine King Valley, one of Yan Kingdom’s Five Great Sects, holding a betrothal martial contest?

Also, if a betrothal martial contest could secure a heritage, it’s absurd... A public favor would be more realistic.

"I said it’s a long story. You’ll understand when you get there."

The blonde girl feigned mystery,

"And besides, it’s not you who will go... Just have your disciple dress as a man. Come on, just trust me!"

...

In summary,

Can Bai Susu’s words be trusted?

Chen Ye wasn’t sure.

The situation sounds too bizarre.

Furthermore,

he couldn’t possibly let his disciple disguise as a man to compete in a betrothal martial contest.

Qing Jun is so petite,

Jin’er is so introverted,

Zhiwei doesn’t like strangers.

Let them compete in a betrothal martial contest?

Just thinking about it made it sound impractical to Chen Ye.

But the alchemical heritage of Medicine King Valley indeed tempted Chen Ye... Medicine King Valley is the only sect among Yan Kingdom’s Five Great Sects that defines itself through alchemy.

Presumably, the valley holds a few Tier Four Pill Formulas!

Chen Ye mused to himself, "No matter what, visiting Medicine King Valley is necessary. My cultivation journey has greatly benefited from alchemy."

After some affectionate banter between the two, Bai Susu was satisfied and tidied her slightly disheveled clothes before leaving Lisong Valley to return to Lingyin Sect.

She had been at Lisong Valley for quite some time, and it was time to return.

Moreover, Bai Li’s body is gradually recovering, who knows when he might awaken,

as his daughter, Bai Susu had to return to Lingyin Sect to care for her father.

Incidentally, Mao Qingzhu also returned to Lingyin Sect recently.

But Chen Ye was in the critical phase of breaking through the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, so he was short-handed and just sent a brief sound transmission to notify her.
