790: Chapter 790 Reaching the Peak of the Golden Core Stage?

The moment it was opened.

A golden radiance surged out from the box, so bright it was almost blinding.

Gold.

Every single box was filled with gold.

Dozens of boxes in total.

At that moment.

The entire venue was dazzled.

"Damn! It's all gold! There must be several tons of it here!"

"What is the Kunlun Ruins Ning Family trying to do? Are they moving their entire treasury to give to Ye Chen?"

"My god... Is Ye Chen the savior of the Ning Family? Why would they give him so much???"

...

Seeing this, Ning Feng's legs went weak. He nearly blacked out and fainted on the spot.

What the hell was going on here???

However.

Before he could even speak, Ning Wanqing had already turned to look at him, speaking coldly.

"Ning Feng."

Ning Feng trembled all over: "Senior... I am here."

Ning Wanqing looked at him with indifference.

"You just said that Mr. Ye wanted to rob your museum?"

Ning Feng: "..."

Ning Wanqing narrowed her beautiful eyes: "You also said that Mr. Ye bullied you and wanted me to stand up for you?"

Ning Feng: "..."

Ning Wanqing's voice grew even colder.

"Then let me tell you, Mr. Ye is the most distinguished guest of our Ning Family. Even if he wanted to empty your family's entire foundation and take your grandfather's seat, you would have to comply."

"Because making Mr. Ye unhappy means making the entire Kunlun Ruins Ning Family unhappy."

Upon hearing this, Ning Feng's knees gave out completely.

The next second.

"Thud!"

Terrified, he knelt down immediately and said with a look of fear: "Senior, I didn't know he was a guest of the Ning Family's main branch!"

"Just because you didn't know, you can do whatever you want?" Ning Wanqing retorted.

Ning Feng shook his head like a rattle-drum: "The junior was wrong!"

He finally understood...

Ning Wanqing was determined to support Ye Chen, and no matter what he said, it would be wrong.

Therefore.

Rather than bringing further humiliation upon himself, it was better to admit his mistake at lightning speed. It was better than being loathed by Ning Wanqing and implicating his father and grandfather.

Ning Wanqing did not say a word, instead looking toward Ye Chen.

Her words were useless.

She had to let Ye Chen speak.

Ye Chen did not speak, but stared at those dozens of boxes of gold, his mouth nearly watering.

Damn!

Those brats from the Yan Family really hadn't lied to him.

The currency used in the Kunlun Ruins was indeed gold!

One Ning Family could produce this much gold, what about the other families?

At this moment.

A particularly devilish plan was slowly brewing in his mind.

"Hey!"

Yan Qingwu gently nudged Ye Chen's arm with her elbow and asked in a low voice, "What's your situation? Why did the Ning Family send you so much gold?"

She was the little princess of the Yan Family of the Capital; what kind of money hadn't she seen?

But this time, even she was nearly blinded.

So much gold—it was comparable to the inventory of several banks!

The scene was simply too terrifying!

Ye Chen regained his senses, glanced at Yan Qingwu, and said with a smile: "Because the Ning Family has a request of me."

Requesting him?

And they gave away half their treasury just for a request?

Yan Qingwu was even more bewildered.

But Ye Chen ignored her and looked at Ning Feng: "I just beat you using technique, yet you claimed I cheated. Why don't you ask Madam Ning if she can use internal energy to assist a car and beat you?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Feng's face turned pale.

"Hmm?"

Ning Wanqing frowned.

"Internal energy cannot be used as the mechanical horsepower for a machine. So, you lost and refused to pay up, and you even wanted to shift the blame?"

"If Mr. Ye does not forgive you today, the Jiangnan Ning Family will be removed from the registry from this day forth!"

Hearing this, Ning Feng panicked completely.

After all.

Once the Jiangnan Ning Family was removed from the registry, it was equivalent to being abandoned by the Kunlun Ruins Ning Family!

No!

Absolutely not!

Ning Feng woke up with a jolt and began to kowtow incessantly.

"Ye Chen... no, Mr. Ye, please spare me!"

"I guarantee I will give you what you want according to our agreement!"

"As many as you want!"

"I will never dare to do it again!"

Watching Ning Feng, who was crying with tears all over his face, Ye Chen shook his head speechlessly: "If you knew it would come to this, why act like that in the first place?"

Ning Feng was even more terrified, and he kowtowed even harder.

The lackeys nearby saw this scene, and their hearts were turbulent like a stormy sea.

Damn!

They had never seen Young Master Ning in such a pathetic state!

Especially...

The culprit who made Young Master Ning look so pathetic was actually Ye Chen, who had won against him while driving a Wuling Hongguang.

Life...

It was just so absurd; no one knew what would happen the next second!

"Alright."

Ye Chen grew impatient, "I won't make things difficult for you. I just want one thing; just take me to get it in a while."

"No problem." Ning Feng looked up, his face full of ecstasy, "As long as you can forgive me, the museum is yours!"

Ye Chen couldn't be bothered to bicker with them and looked at Ning Wanqing: "Madam Ning, your sincerity seems quite full. Let me take a look at the cultivation method that needs to be revised."

Hearing this, Ning Wanqing felt a surge of joy and hurriedly took out the ancient book from her sleeve.

Then.

She held it with both hands and handed it to Ye Chen.

"Mr. Ye, this is my Ning Family's 'Mystic Ice Sutra'!"

"For three hundred years, no one has been able to master it. I ask Mr. Ye to provide some guidance; my Ning Family will be eternally grateful!"

Seeing this, Ning Feng's vision blurred.

'Mystic Ice Sutra'?

That was a legendary ancient cultivation method!

But no one had ever successfully practiced it, and yet...

The Kunlun Ruins Ning Family was actually handing it over to Ye Chen for guidance???

Heavens!

He had actually gone to offend such an existence?

Was he insane!!!

Ignoring the gazes of everyone present, Ye Chen took the ancient book and flipped through it casually.

On it, the cultivation mantras and meridian flow charts were written in ancient seal script.

Ever since the incident with Xu Fu last time, he had learned a bit of ancient text.

And for him, learning this stuff was as simple as eating and drinking.

So.

Naturally, he could understand it.

His gaze swept across the pages, moving very quickly, but no one dared to voice any doubts.

Ning Wanqing clenched her fists, her palms sweating.

She was terrified that in the next second, Ye Chen would blurt out that it was hopeless.

About five or six minutes later, Ye Chen closed the ancient book.

"It's actually quite simple to fix."

Ning Wanqing: "???"

Quite... quite simple?

This was an ancient cultivation method that no one had been able to master for three hundred years!

But before she could ask for the reason.

Ye Chen had already raised his hand and tapped her between the eyebrows.

Ning Wanqing's delicate body trembled violently.

Immediately after.

A numbing sensation, as if an electric shock, spread from the point between her eyebrows.

Then.

It swept through every corner of her body.

That feeling...

It was like being caressed all over by a hand.

In an instant.

Ning Wanqing's face turned red to the tips of her ears.

"Ye... Mr. Ye..."

"Calm your mind."

Ye Chen's indifferent voice came through, "I am helping you sort out your meridians. If you move around, don't blame me if the cultivation method doesn't get transmitted, and the gold certainly won't be returned."

Ning Wanqing bit her lip to suppress that strange sensation.

Then.

She tried hard to calm her mind.

Soon.

She felt a torrent of information rushing into her mind along Ye Chen's fingers.

It was an understanding of the 'Mystic Ice Sutra'.

She even realized with a start...

The understanding they had held in the past seemed to be entirely wrong.

And the understanding Ye Chen was instilling in her actually made her have a sudden realization, a feeling of being enlightened by a master!

Moreover.

Compared to the original cultivation method, the one Ye Chen was transmitting had been modified in at least a dozen places.

But because of this, the entire cultivation method had become much more perfected.

At this moment.

A wave of unprecedented shock surged in Ning Wanqing's heart.

For three hundred years, so many geniuses, elders, and family heads of the Ning Family had not discovered a single problem with the cultivation method.

Yet in just a few minutes, Ye Chen had overturned her inherent understanding entirely and replaced it with his own.

Even the minute errors in the cultivation method had been changed.

This feeling...

It was too shocking!

Was this Ye Chen really just a twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old youth???

"Alright."

At this moment, Ye Chen withdrew his finger, "Try circulating it for one cycle now."

Ning Wanqing took a deep breath, immediately sat cross-legged, and began to circulate her internal energy according to the trajectory of the brand-new cultivation method.

But as soon as she started circulating it.

She discovered to her horror...

The internal energy was like a wild horse off the leash, rushing frantically toward her limbs and bones.

And every time she completed one node, the trajectory for the next node would automatically emerge in her mind.

So much so that...

It was incredibly smooth!

So smooth that even having diarrhea wouldn't be this refreshing!!!

Soon.

One cycle, two cycles, three cycles...

After every cycle, the internal energy within her began to undergo astonishing changes.

The originally grey internal energy evolved into a light blue.

Immediately after.

A surging, powerful aura erupted violently from her body.

Everyone widened their eyes, staring at Ning Wanqing in a daze, their entire beings numb.

What had they just seen?

They had seen the aura on Ning Wanqing climb all the way up.

Then.

From the original Early Golden Core Stage, it climbed to the Mid Golden Core Stage, and then stepped into the Late Golden Core Stage.

"Boom!!!"

A heart-palpitating aura erupted from within Ning Wanqing, turning into a visible air wave that swept in all directions.

Everyone stepped back several times before they were awakened from their shock.

But then, they were completely dumbfounded.

Because Madam Ning had stepped into the Peak of the Golden Core Stage, just one step away from breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage!!!

Ning Wanqing opened her eyes and asked blankly: "Have I... stepped into the Peak of the Golden Core Stage?"

"That's right."

Ye Chen nodded with a smile.

"Just as I estimated, you have indeed stepped into the Peak of the Golden Core Stage."

"I told you, as long as you believe in me, I guarantee you will get more than your money's worth!"

"You tell me, is it worth it?"
