Ye Chen smiled mysteriously and a bottle of medicinal pills appeared in his hand, "There are two Qi Repair Pills among them. They can help you shape your spiritual root."
The first time he went to the ghost ship, his purpose was to find the Essence Gold Fruit that could refine the Qi Repair Pills. Then, he successfully found it in the Tianfeng sea area of the Ancient Desolate Realm and refined a total of eight Qi Repair Pills.
As soon as he said that, Tang Ning and Yu Shasha's bodies trembled. Their eyes widened as they stared at the bottle of medicinal pills in disbelief.
They could even form a spiritual root after birth?!
Ye Chen smiled and said, "You guys can start cultivating now. I'll protect you guys. As for your aging looks, you can recover them with the help of the Face Restoration Pill after you enter Foundation Building."
The girls no longer hesitated and immediately found a suitable cultivation method for them from the jade slip. Then, they began to absorb energy into their bodies with the help of the spirit stones on the spot and started cultivating again.
As for Yu Shasha and Tang Ning, after consuming the Qi Repair Pill, one of them was born with the three spiritual roots of earth, metal, and water, while the other was born with the four spiritual roots of wood, metal, fire, and earth.
Such aptitude was considered extremely poor in the eyes of others. However, Ye Chen never cared about spiritual roots. It did not matter if one's aptitude was poor. As long as one had enough resources, one could make up for everything.
In just two hours, with Ye Chen's help, the four girls had all recovered to beginner-stage Foundation Building. They had also recovered their looks with the help of the Face Restoration Pill, turning from middle-aged women in their forties into young women in their twenties.
This scene made the girls extremely excited. How could they have ever thought that they would have such a day?
The 14-year-old Ye Sichen was dumbfounded as he stood at the side. His eyes were filled with envy.
"Little guy, I can't forget you."
Ye Chen patted his head and said, "Your aptitude isn't bad. You actually have the rare fire and wood dual spiritual roots. You're a natural seedling for alchemy."
Meeting the little guy's expectant gaze, he changed the topic, "However, because you have a cleft lip, you can't cultivate before you correct your face. Otherwise, you'll have this cleft lip for the rest of your life."
Only then did Ye Sichen suppress his excitement and nod.
"Alright, now that you've recovered, there's no need to live in this place anymore!"
Eventually, Ye Chen stood up and said to the girls, "I bought a guesthouse. You guys can stay there with me. We'll move back after we take back Nine Dragons Bay."
The girls nodded in agreement.
At this moment, a heavy knock came from outside. When Ye Sichen went to open the door, Ye Wen and the rest were stunned when they saw the person standing outside.
At that moment, there was an old man in a gray robe standing at the door. The old man looked at everyone with a smile and said, "May I know which one of you is called Mad Southern Ye?"
"I am. Who are you?" Ye Chen stared at him.
The old man immediately smiled and said, "This old man is the Cheng family's steward. My name is Uncle Zhong. I'm here to deliver something to Mr. Ye on behalf of the Cheng family's head."
Ye Wen and the rest tensed up as soon as he was done speaking. The Cheng family sent people here as soon as Ye Chen killed Cheng Ying. How could they not overthink?
Before the people could speak, Uncle Zhong took out a purple-gold invitation card and handed it to Ye Chen. He said, "Mr. Ye, the Cheng family's master has invited you to the Ethereal Immortal Residence for a banquet at 9 p.m. sharp."
Ye Chen subsequently smiled upon hearing that. "I've killed someone from your family. Not only are you not enraged, but you're even kind enough to invite me to a banquet?"
"It's just a misunderstanding."
The smile on Uncle Zhong's face did not fade away. "Moreover, when Mr. Ye swept through the earth 17 years ago, my family was shocked. I regret not being able to witness Mr. Ye's glory from a close distance!"
"Interesting …"
Ye Chen was calm for a while. Subsequently, he grabbed the invitation card through the air and said, "Go back. Just tell them that I'll be there on time tonight!"
As soon as he said that, Ye Wen and the rest of the girls turned pale. Their lips moved slightly, but they hesitated to speak.
After Uncle Zhong left, Ye Wen could not help it anymore. She looked at Ye Chen and said, "Brother, you shouldn't have accepted that invitation card."
"Master …"
Xiao Ya 'e frowned slightly and said, "The Cheng family is famous for taking revenge for the smallest grievance. I'm afraid they're up to no good by inviting you to a banquet …"
"Ye Chen …" Su Yuhan looked at Ye Chen.
"Don't worry!"
Ye Chen chuckled softly as his eyes flickered. "So what if it's a Hongmen Banquet? I'd like to see if the Cheng family has the ability to go against the heavens … "
He did not plan to let the Cheng family go. However, the Cheng family was nothing to him. What he really cared about was the foreign sect behind the Cheng family, the Ethereal Palace.
Now that the Cheng family had taken the initiative to invite him, it was exactly what he wanted.
…
When night fell, Ye Chen walked to the Ethereal Immortal Residence after arranging for Ye Wen and the rest to return to the guest house that he had bought.
The Ethereal Immortal Residence was located in the most luxurious place in Lin City. It was rumored that it was the property of the Ethereal Palace. It was said that a cup of ordinary spiritual tea cost more than ten spirit stones. It was a famous money-squandering place.
At that moment, there were groups of people in luxurious clothes walking in slowly at the entrance of the Ethereal Immortal Residence in an orderly manner.
It was because Lin City's annual exchange event would be held there tonight. Although the participants were all the younger generation of Lin City's cultivation world, there would still be people from the older generation of the families watching secretly.
Where there were people, there would be fights. It seemed like an exchange event, but it was actually a way for the families to compete. The family that came first would get most of Lin City's resources for the next year.
Therefore, the families were excited. At the same time, there were countless television stations and cultivation training classes joining, sponsoring advertisements, fighting for traffic and benefits.
Among the crowd, a lady in white who was dressed very nicely turned her head to look at a young man in black behind her. "Cheng Bo, the Cheng family sent the three of you this time. Are you confident that you can get into the top ten?"
"It's hard to say."
Cheng Bo's expression turned serious as he shook his head. "My family has dominated the leaderboard for five years. The other families aren't convinced. I heard that they've spent a lot of resources to train many young talents this time. It'll be very difficult for me to get into the top ten …"
The man and lady were Chu Qingyu and Cheng Bo.
"I see …"
Chu Qingyu's beautiful eyes dimmed, but she said while smiling, "Don't worry. I believe you. The man that I, Chu Qingyu, like is not an ordinary man …"
"That's …"
Cheng Bo looked at the crowd and smiled proudly, "This time, I've cultivated a sword technique that I've never used before. If I catch them off guard, they won't be able to win …"
Before he could finish speaking, his gaze was fixed on a thin figure who was walking towards the Misty Immortal Abode in the distance.
Cheng Bo's gaze paused, "That person is …"
"What's wrong?"
Chu Qingyu followed his gaze and looked over. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and could not help but shout, "Ye Chen?"
Hearing someone call him, Ye Chen, who had just walked to the door, lifted his head and looked over. He said in surprise, "Why are you guys here?"
