Chapter 1097 1093: Celestial Flame Fruit

Nangong Hao, ranks fourth among the True Disciples of the Human King Hall.

His fall in the Northern Nether Realm is indeed deeply regrettable.

However, such events frequently occur in the history of the Human King Hall.

Not to mention True Disciples like Nangong Hao, even Core Disciples have perished at the hands of other races.

Therefore, people have long grown accustomed to it.

"If it weren't for Ye Chen this time, even Jia Lu and Dugu Yuan might have fallen!"

"Indeed! No one can guarantee their survival when undertaking missions in the Outer Realm; all we can do is strive to increase our strength." Everyone sighed in awe.

...

A day later, Ye Chen and his group successfully returned to the headquarters of the Human King Hall.

Bai Jing had already been waiting for him in the Transmission Palace for a long time.

"Young Master Ye Chen, congratulations on successfully completing the newbie mission. Our Lord Bai Zhan has important matters and wishes to see you." Bai Jing said with extreme respect.

"The Hall Master wants to see me? Could it be that he has gathered all the medicinal materials?" Ye Chen couldn't help but think to himself.

He had previously promised Supreme Lord Bai Zhan that he would help cure his granddaughter of the Cold Evil within her body.

However, the prerequisite was that Supreme Lord Bai Zhan must collect the medicinal materials he wanted.

Otherwise, no matter how proficient he was in the Alchemy Dao, he wouldn't be able to refine the elixir to cure Bai Bing's condition.

"Look! It's Ye Chen, he's finally back." The True Disciples of the Human King Hall, upon seeing Ye Chen, all displayed deep reverence in their eyes.

Now, the news of Ye Chen slaying Xue Luo and Bai Li has spread throughout the entire Human King Hall.

Even the high-ranking members of the four great families were shocked by it.

Moreover, the attitude of the True Disciples of the Human King Hall towards Ye Chen has undergone a dramatic change.

Previously, Ye Chen, despite breaking three records in the True Disciple assessment, did not command such reverence.

After all, Ye Chen had only recently entered the Golden Core Realm, and no matter how high his talent was, he couldn't be exceptionally powerful.

But now, none of the True Disciples dare to underestimate Ye Chen even in the slightest.

Ye Chen was able to kill even a Tier Three Divine Spirit Descendant like Xue Luo, and his strength is undoubtedly among the top True Disciples.

More terrifyingly, his potential is highly likely to rival that of a Celestial God Descendant.

If anyone still dares to underestimate him, it's simply humiliating themselves.

Swoosh!

Soon, under the reverent gazes of everyone, Ye Chen swiftly left the Transmission Palace with Bai Jing, heading toward Supreme Lord Bai Zhan's residence.

"Jia Lu, the Patriarch wants to see you!"

"Dugu Yuan, the Grand Elder has matters to discuss with you!"

The Jia Family and the Dugu Family also dispatched two Elders to receive Jia Lu and the others at the Transmission Palace.

The matter of Ye Chen slaying Xue Luo and Bai Li aroused unbounded curiosity even among the high-ranking members of the four great families, so they wished to learn the details from Jia Lu and the others.

If Ye Chen truly slew Xue Luo by his own might,

then he might very well become the tenth Core Disciple of the Human King Hall.

...

Half a cup of tea later.

Under the guidance of Bai Jing, Ye Chen arrived at Supreme Lord Bai Zhan's residence.

"Haha! Little friend Ye Chen, you've come! Please sit." Supreme Lord Bai Zhan, upon seeing Ye Chen, hastily greeted him, a smile brimming on his lips.

"I wonder what matter the Hall Master has to discuss with me?" Ye Chen couldn't help but ask.

"I heard that little friend Ye Chen slew a Tier Three Divine Spirit Descendant of the Blood Demon Race in the Northern Nether Realm. Is that true?" Supreme Lord Bai Zhan asked excitedly.

"Correct!" Ye Chen nodded.

"Did you slay him using external aid or with your own strength?" Supreme Lord Bai Zhan smiled.

"Does it make a difference?" Ye Chen was taken aback.

"Of course it does. If you killed him with your own strength, then I can apply for a Core Disciple spot for you.

By then, as long as you pass the test, you can become a Core Disciple of the Human King Hall." Supreme Lord Bai Zhan explained.

"I see, I was relying on my own strength to kill Xue Luo." Ye Chen suddenly understood and quickly replied.

In fact, Ye Chen was quite concerned about the position of Core Disciple.

After all, becoming a Core Disciple of the Human King Hall offers a variety of special privileges.

More importantly, the high-ranking members of the Human King Hall would genuinely value him.

By then, he might be able to ask the high-ranking members of the Human King Hall to help rescue his father and grandfather from the Ye Clan.

"Haha! Just as I guessed, little friend Ye Chen, your potential now might very well match that of a Celestial God Descendant!" Supreme Lord Bai Zhan exclaimed happily.

It is known that in the entire Human King Hall, only three Core Disciples have potential equivalent to a Celestial God Descendant.

Each of them is nurtured as treasures by the Human King Hall.

If Ye Chen's potential can match that of a Celestial God Descendant,

then his accomplishments will be limitless.

"It should be possible, but even a Celestial God Descendant is nothing remarkable in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, and there's nothing to be proud of." Ye Chen said calmly.

He expressed his true thoughts.

In a Seventh-class Realm like the Yellow Cloud World, a Celestial God Descendant is indeed heaven-defying.

But in the entirety of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, it's nothing extraordinary.

"Little friend Ye Chen is too humble. By the way, I have another important matter for which I need your help." Suddenly, Supreme Lord Bai Zhan's expression turned extremely solemn.

"Please feel free to tell me what it is!" Ye Chen said.

"Little friend Ye Chen, last time you asked me to gather several medicinal materials, but despite trying everything, I couldn't collect the last one. Without this last medicinal ingredient, my granddaughter's Cold Evil can never be cured." Supreme Lord Bai Zhan sighed with reluctance in his eyes.

In recent years, the Bai Family finally produced Bai Bing, whose potential rivals that of a Celestial God Descendant.

Yet Bai Bing is tormented by the Cold Evil.

If the Cold Evil in her body isn't dispelled, she cannot use her powers, equivalent to being a cripple.

Hence, he desperately wishes to cure his granddaughter's Cold Evil as soon as possible.

But without the last medicinal ingredient, this dream is almost impossible.

"What medicinal ingredient are you missing?" Ye Chen furrowed his brows tightly.

His financial resources couldn't compare to Supreme Lord Bai Zhan's.

If even Supreme Lord Bai Zhan couldn't gather that medicinal ingredient, then he would have no way to obtain it.

"It's the Celestial Flame Fruit, but I have a lead on the Celestial Flame Fruit. It's said to exist in the recently emerged Ancient Secret Realm, so I need someone to help find them." Supreme Lord Bai Zhan said.
