Xiao Chen chose to ignore Tian Yue's constant calls of 'Big Sister' and 'Little Brother'. Sometimes, this woman was just too lively.
Xiao Chen didn't linger on this issue. He looked at Tian Yue and said, "The Ancient Withered Vine's sap is so precious. Are you sure you don't want it?"
"I already said that I don't want it. It's all yours," Tian Yue said impatiently.
Tian Yue gave up on such a precious item just like that. Xiao Chen didn't say anything else. Judging from Tian Yue's reaction, she really wasn't interested in the Ancient Withered Vine's sap.
Then, Xiao Chen turned around and walked towards the dozen Ancient Withered Vines. When Xiao Chen arrived before the Ancient Withered Vines, he used the Dustless Sword to cut a hole in the middle of the Ancient Withered Vine's trunk. Then, a wisp of thick green liquid flowed out from the trunk.
Looking at the Ancient Withered Vine's sap, Xiao Chen seemed to have guessed why Tian Yue didn't want it even if she was beaten to death. Tsk tsk … How should he put it? It was indeed a little disgusting. Even a man like him frowned at the sight of it, not to mention a delicate young lady like Tian Yue.
Furthermore, there was a pungent stench coming from the sap of the Ancient Withered Wood Vines. Xiao Chen recalled what Tian Yue had said earlier. If he wanted to use the sap of the Ancient Withered Wood Vines to train his body, he had to spread the sap evenly all over his body. Thinking of this, Xiao Chen immediately understood why Tian Yue gave up the sap of the Ancient Withered Wood Vines without hesitation.
Moreover, Tian Yue wasn't a Physique Cultivator and didn't attach much importance to it. Since she didn't attach much importance to it, why would she tolerate such a disgusting thing? Therefore, Tian Yue chose to give it up without hesitation.
However, to Xiao Chen, he could still tolerate the Ancient Withered Vine's sap. Besides, it was a great help to his Tempered Battle Body. Naturally, Xiao Chen wouldn't hesitate.
Xiao Chen immediately took off his clothes, leaving his upper body bare. Then, he smeared the tree sap all over his body.
As a pungent stench assaulted his nose, Xiao Chen suppressed the disgust in his heart and sat down cross-legged.
At first, Xiao Chen was a little resistant to the stench emitted by the green sap, but soon, he felt as if his skin was being pricked by countless needles. The pain became more and more distinct, and it began to spread from his skin to his body.
As the pain intensified, Xiao Chen naturally forgot about the pungent stench. He focused all his attention on enduring the pain caused by the tree sap as he sensed the changes in his body.
Currently, Xiao Chen's Tempered Battle Body was at the second level of the Jade Viscera Realm. However, ever since he broke through to the Jade Viscera Realm, he had never stopped cultivating his Tempered Battle Body. Unfortunately, his progress was very slow.
This was because the cultivation of the Hundred Refined Physique was just too difficult. It wasn't something that could be achieved through hard work alone. It also required the cooperation of many treasures in order to make a breakthrough.
Without a suitable treasure, the Hundred Refined Physique naturally wouldn't make any significant progress. However, with the help of the Ancient Withered Vine's sap, Xiao Chen could clearly feel that his Hundred Refined Physique was constantly improving. This discovery made Xiao Chen overjoyed. It seemed that Tian Yue wasn't lying. The sap of the Ancient Withered Vine was indeed a treasure for body tempering.
The improvement of the Hundred Refined Physique represented the strength of his physical body. Ever since the establishment of the Sacred Palace, Xiao Chen's originally overwhelming physical strength had slowly weakened as his opponents grew stronger.
For example, Xiao Chen's current opponents, the other first Chosens of the North Star Boundary, weren't much weaker than Xiao Chen in terms of physical strength. At the very least, Mo Xie of the Night Ghost Pavilion was one such example. His physical strength wasn't inferior to Xiao Chen's at all.
As such, there was no need to even mention the first Chosen of the Liwang Sect, Tong Huang. His physical strength was probably much stronger than Xiao Chen's.
His huge advantage was slowly being eroded. Now, Xiao Chen could feel his physical strength increasing. How could Xiao Chen not be overjoyed?
Xiao Chen endured the excruciating pain in his body. Not far away, Tian Yue quietly opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Chen, who had already smeared the sap of the Ancient Withered Wood Vine all over his body. Her face revealed an extremely conflicted expression as she cutely stuck out her tongue and whispered.
"I wouldn't smear such a disgusting thing on my body. Hmph."
With that, Tian Yue closed her eyes again and began to recover her spiritual power. Tian Yue didn't feel that it was a pity to give all the Ancient Withered Vine's sap to Xiao Chen.
Speaking of which, Tian Yue's personality was also the kind of carefree type. Coupled with the fact that her relationship with Xiao Chen had deepened over this period of time, Tian Yue did not have the slightest bit of reluctance or regret in giving away these Ancient Withered Vines' sap.
Xiao Chen cut open the Ancient Withered Vine one after another and extracted the sap to refine his body.
With the help of the Ancient Withered Vine's sap, Xiao Chen's Tempered Battle Body was also rapidly improving. Two days later, when Xiao Chen finished refining the last Ancient Withered Vine's sap, his Tempered Battle Body had already reached the limit of the second layer, the Jade Organs Realm. He wasn't far from breaking through to the third layer.
At the same time, with the improvement of the Tempered Battle Body, Xiao Chen's physical strength would also be much stronger.
He could not help but smile. He got up and threw a punch. A sonic boom was heard. Xiao Chen was very satisfied with his current physical strength. The only regret he had was that he was unable to break through to the third level of the Celestial Plane.
However, he couldn't be too greedy. The breakthrough of the Tempered Battle Body was extremely difficult. Being able to make such progress was already an unexpected gain.
And just when Xiao Chen was secretly rejoicing, Tian Yue, who had already recovered and changed into a clean set of clothes, appeared in front of Xiao Chen. She pinched her nose cutely and looked at Xiao Chen with disgust.
"It stinks. Go wash up. I found a stream over there. Hurry up."
In two days, Tian Yue had obviously recovered. Hearing this, Xiao Chen also found that his body was indeed stinking at this time. The smell was exactly the same as the sap of the Ancient Withered Vine. It was no wonder that Tian Yue had a look of disgust.
However, perhaps because he was in a good mood, Xiao Chen didn't care about Tian Yue's disgust. Instead, he said with a smirk, "Stinky man, stinky man. How can you be called a stinky man if you don't stink?"
"Pervert, hurry up and wash up. After you're done, we should get going." However, in the face of Xiao Chen's joke, Tian Yue shouted angrily. At the same time, she pushed Xiao Chen with her hand, indicating that he should hurry up and wash up.
