9: Chapter 9: The group members are grateful! Ye Xuan of Versailles!

Mortal World, Seven Mysteries Sect.

Han Li looked at the jade bottle in his hand, his brows furrowed.

"Can this thing... really be consumed?"

Although he had claimed the red packet, being naturally cautious, he did not consume it immediately.

He first tested it for poison with a silver needle, then used a few newly learned Spells to investigate it. After confirming there was no danger, he hesitated before tipping a drop onto the tip of his tongue.

Boom!

That drop of water seemed to transform into a long river of Spiritual Qi, instantly rushing into his Dantian.

Qi Refining sixth level, seventh level, eighth level... Qi Refining Peak!

Han Li felt every pore on his body relax, expelling a layer of black, oily sludge.

He ignored the nausea and hurriedly circulated the Changchun Art to stabilize his Realm.

A moment later, Han Li opened his eyes, a sharp light radiating from them.

"Foundation Establishment is within reach!"

He looked at the jade bottle in his hand, his eyes becoming incredibly heated.

This was no mere spring water; it was simply a legendary immortal medicine!

Shrouding the Heavens World, Miaoyu Nunnery.

An Miaoyi looked at the jade bottle in her hand, her feelings the most complex.

She knew this was divine spring water.

divine spring water from the Ancient Forbidden Land.

In the outside world, even a single drop could incite frenzied competition among the Holy Lands and noble families.

And now, she had an entire bottle in her hands.

An Miaoyi did not hesitate and consumed it directly.

As the divine spring water entered her body, it not only cleansed her Physical Body but also nourished her Divine Soul.

She felt as if her Aptitude had improved slightly, and her already peerless beauty now possessed an ineffable Dao rhythm.

"Is this the effect of the divine spring water?"

An Miaoyi looked at her more perfect self in the mirror, her awe for Ye Xuan deepening a little more.

The group chat exploded once again.

[Lu Xueqi of Qingyun Sect]: "Senior, what kind of immortal nectar is this? I only took one sip, and not only did my old injuries fully heal, but my cultivation also broke through directly to the Shangqing Realm!"

[Old Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain]: "Could this be the legendary Fountain of Youth? At my age, I have actually been rejuvenated!"

The Old Heavenly Master sent a selfie.

In the photo, the old Daoist, originally with crane-like hair and a youthful face, had transformed into a fair-skinned, beardless, handsome middle-aged man; only his eyes still revealed traces of vicissitudes.

[Little Fairy Doctor of Qingshan Town]: "Thank you, Brother! I've broken through to the Great Dou Master Realm! My body also feels so comfortable!"

[An Miaoyi of Miaoyu Nunnery]: "Thank you for the divine spring water, Brother! Miaoyi is eternally grateful!"

Even Han Li, who had been lurking, could not sit still this time.

[Han Li of Seven Mysteries Sect]: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist. If there is an opportunity, I will definitely repay you!"

Although Han Li was cautious, he was also a person who knew how to repay kindness.

Such a huge favor; if he didn't say a word, he would feel uneasy.

Ancient Forbidden Land.

Ye Xuan watched the reactions of everyone in the group and shook his head with a smile.

"These group members really haven't seen much of the world."

He replied casually.

[Ruthless Empresss Brother]: "Hahaha, you all don't need to be so polite. I usually use this spring water to make tea. I got tired of eating the fruits from those few trees, so I drank some water to cleanse my palate."

Inside Miaoyu Nunnery.

An Miaoyi looked at this line of text, and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

Using divine spring water to make tea?

Using the nine wonders immortal medicine to cleanse the palate?

This is too extravagant!

Is this the daily life of the Ruthless Empress's Brother?

An Miaoyi felt that her imagination was not quite enough.

However...

She looked at Ye Xuan's avatar, and that question in her heart emerged again.

Eighteen years old.

The Ruthless Empress's Brother.

These two identities simply didn't align on the timeline.

The Ruthless Emperor attained Dao over two hundred thousand years ago; her brother should have been dead long ago.

How could he possibly be only eighteen now?

Could it be Reincarnation?

Or was he Sealed into this era by the Ruthless Empress using some Heaven-Defying method?

An Miaoyi was filled with doubt, but she very wisely chose to keep her mouth shut.

Secrets involving the privacy of an Emperor are safer the less one knows.

"No matter who he is, as long as he is the Ruthless Empress's Brother, that is enough."

An Miaoyi said to herself in her heart.

She tightened her grip on the empty bottle, her eyes becoming determined.

She was determined to cling to this powerful thigh.

Ancient Forbidden Land.

Just as Ye Xuan put down the jade cup in his hand, a crisp notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding!]

[Group member "Ruthless Empresss Brother" distributed welfare, helping multiple group members break through Bottlenecks, obtaining the "Philanthropic" achievement.]

[Reward: Points + 10000.]

[Reward: Exclusive Cultivation Space Trial Card (24 hours) x1.]

Ye Xuan looked at the message box that popped up on the interface and raised an eyebrow.

"Huh, I can earn points just by giving away tea water?"

He stroked his chin.

These ten thousand points were much more than what he got from checking in just now.

It seems this chat group encourages mutual aid, especially encouraging big shots to help the poor.

As for that "Cultivation Space Trial Card"...

Ye Xuan clicked on the details and took a look.

[Exclusive Cultivation Space: A dimension independent of the real world, with extremely high Spiritual Qi concentration, where Dao Laws are manifested, Cultivation speed bonus of 1000%, and the time flow ratio with the real world is 100:1.]

"This thing is quite interesting."

Ye Xuan sat up straight.

Although the Ancient Forbidden Land is a treasure land for Cultivation, he is currently stuck at the Peak of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm; what he needs is insight, a turning point, not just a pile of resources.

The Emperor marks here are too strong, instead suppressing his perception of the external Dao.

This Cultivation Space might allow him to break through his Bottleneck.

"Tianxuan."

Ye Xuan called out.

Saintess Tianxuan, not far away, turned around.

"I'm going to sleep for a while, don't let anyone disturb me. Oh, if that old man, the Great Completion Holy Body, comes, just say I am contemplating life."

Saintess Tianxuan nodded slightly without speaking.

Ye Xuan adjusted to a comfortable position and selected [Use Trial Card] in his mind.

Hum.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

A slight sense of dizziness came over him.

When Ye Xuan opened his eyes again, the surrounding scene had changed.

It was no longer the desolate Forbidden Ground abyss, nor those nine towering holy mountains.

He was currently sitting cross-legged in the middle of a vast starry sky.

Beneath his feet was a huge white jade plaza, surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, with a brilliant galaxy overhead.

The air was filled with Heaven and Earth Essence Qi so dense it was almost liquefied; every breath felt like swallowing a mouthful of divine spring water.

"This place is indeed not bad."

Ye Xuan stood up and stretched his limbs.

More importantly, the Dao Laws here were exceptionally clear.

Those supreme principles of Heaven and Earth that required arduous comprehension in the outside world seemed within reach here.

"Just right, I'll take this opportunity to charge towards the Xiantai Secret Realm."

Ye Xuan sat back down cross-legged.

He closed his eyes and began to Cultivate.

The spine's Great Dragon let out a long roar, shaking the starry sky.

In the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, what is cultivated is the spine.

Nine Heaven Ranks, each step is like ascending to the heavens.

At this moment, the spine within Ye Xuan's body seemed to transform into a real golden giant Dragon, every joint glowing and gushing with endless Divine Power.

In this Cultivation Space, endless Essence Qi surged toward him, pouring into that Great Dragon.

Rumble!

Thunderous sounds echoed from within his body.

At this moment, Ye Xuan's Great Dragon raised its head, charging straight toward the Xiantai Secret Realm.

The Xiantai Secret Realm is the final Secret Realm of human body Cultivation, and also a step toward ascending to the heavens.

The first layer of Heaven, Half-step Great Expert.

Ye Xuan's aura began to climb steadily.

His skin was crystal clear, and golden blood energy surged around him like ocean waves.

The phenomena of the Ancient Desolate Saint Body manifested behind him—Immortal King Descends to Nine Heavens, Chaos Plants a Green Lotus, Yin and Yang Life and Death Diagram, Splendid Rivers and Mountains...

These phenomena intertwined, setting him off as if he were a young God King.
