"Feng Chen, you're finally back!"

When the dusty Ye Chenfeng returned to the City Lord's Mansion, the Marquis of Heaven, Mu Qinghuo, and Xiao Yanyan all entered the main hall at the first possible moment.

"How was it, Feng Chen? Did everything go smoothly?"

"Feng Chen, you've given me another surprise. If others were to find out that Bu Jia died in your hands, it would probably cause a huge uproar!" Marquis Wang looked at the calm Ye Chenfeng, who was hiding a big secret, revealed a graceful smile and said.

"Master Hou, please keep the matter of me killing Bu Jia a secret. I do not wish to attract too much attention!" Ye Zichen said.

"Alright, leave this to me!" Marquis Wang happily responded, "This Bu Jia is a wanted criminal of the Nine Heavens Divine Kingdom. The bounty on his head is extremely high. I guarantee that you'll be satisfied."

"Master Hou, after receiving the bounty, we can exchange all of the bounty points for Heaven Pavilion Points. After that, we can split the bounty points into half. For this competition, I think the Heaven Pavilion Points should be more or less used up."

Marquis Wang was very nice to Ye Chenfeng, so he wanted to repay him as well and spoke generously.

"Alright, then I'll take advantage of you!" Marquis Wang revealed a faint smile. The more he looked at Ye Zichen, the more satisfied he became.

"Feng Chen, there is still more than a month until the Heavenly Hall Martial Meet. Both you and Yan Er should prepare well. Whether or not my Heavenly Pavilion can advance will depend on your performance in the Heavenly Hall Competition!" Marquis Wang instructed.

"Master Hou, Elder Pavilion, do you two know if there are any Saint Masters participating in this Heaven Pavilion Martial Meeting?" Ye Chenfeng's target was the top three of the Sky Hall competition. He really wanted to know how many of his main opponents were there.

A Saint Master was the name given to an alchemist in the central world. As long as an alchemist was able to reach the peak of his skill, he would be a Saint Master with a quasi-Saint Pill and a quasi-Saint Weapon.

A Saint Master's status in the central world was extremely high and their influence was astonishing. There were people who would rather provoke a Nirvana stage old monster than a Saint Master.

Under the influence of a Saint Master, there were many Nirvana stage old monsters that were willing to serve him.

"According to my understanding, my Nine Heavens Divine Kingdom, Eight Qi Divine Kingdom, Qilin Kingdom, Sacred Flame Valley, and Vastheaven Palace will all send a Saint Master to participate. As for whether or not there are any other Saint Masters from other forces participating, I don't know. Murin continued.

"Pavilion Elder, I wonder how many Saint Masters exist in the central world!"

Knowing that there were at least five Saint Masters participating, Ye Chenfeng also felt a bit of pressure. It would be very difficult for him to defeat this old freak who had studied alchemy for tens of thousands of years to refine pills.

"I don't know how many Saint Masters there are in the central world, but I do know that there are two Saint Masters in the Nine Heavens Divine Kingdom. The Terminator Saint Master is known as the Middle Spirit Hand of the pill itself." The Pavilion Elder explained in detail.

"Danlei!"

Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows and revealed a shocked expression.

The appearance of the Pill Lightning was enough to prove that the Quasi-Saint pill refined by a Terminator Saint Master was close to the level of a Heavenly Saint Pill. Only by surpassing the limits of the Soul Dueling Continent would the Pill Lightning destroy the pill.

"It seems that if I want to be the champion of the Sky Hall, I'll need to raise my soul and flame by a level!" Ye Chenfeng sighed softly in his heart as he felt the heavy pressure.

"Feng Chen, you're tired too. Go back and rest. If you need anything, just let me know. We will do our best to help you improve your alchemy skills." Marquis Wang looked at Ye Chenfeng, who seemed to be deep in thought, and said softly.

"Thank you, master Hou. I'll go back and rest first!" Ye Zichen nodded. He looked at the beautiful, bright, and lovely Yu Yan, then stood up and left.

When he returned to his room and took a bath, he sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate. There was a light knock on the door.

Hearing the knock on the door, Ye Zichen opened his eyes and revealed a faint smile. He welcomed her, who was wearing a long white dress filled with flowers, into the room.

"Yuyan, how much have your alchemy skills improved in the month I was gone!?" Ye Chenfeng looked at the alluring and charming Yan Yu and asked softly.

A few days ago, Master helped me exchange for a mid-grade Dao treasure grade pill furnace. With this furnace and the pill techniques that you passed on to me, my success rate in refining low-grade pills is almost one hundred percent. Thinking about her rapid improvement in her pill forging skills, a charming smile appeared on her face.

"Not bad, not bad. If your soul continues to improve and you absorb a type of heavenly fire from the Nine-Layered Fire Cave, you will have the ability to refine a top-grade dao pill and advance to the top 50 rankings in the Sky Hall competition." Ye Chenfeng revealed a faint smile and was sincerely happy for her.

"Top quality dao pills, top 50 in the Sky Hall competition!"

Originally, Yu Yan did not even dare to imagine it when it came to refining top grade Dao pills. But now, she had the chance to refine a Dao pill of this level and even have the chance to amaze everyone in the Sky Hall. This filled her with gratitude towards Ye Chenfeng.

"Feng Chen, are you tired? "If you're not tired, let's continue to cultivate the Immortal Soul Art!" Jiao Yuyan looked at Ye Chenfeng with a flushed face and said coquettishly, "While you were gone for more than a month, my cultivation speed slowed quite a bit."

"Good!" I also want to cultivate the Immortal Soul Art and sharpen my soul. "

With that, Ye Zichen took the initiative to hold Yu Yan's soft and delicate hand, then sat down on the bed with his legs crossed. He removed all distracting thoughts from his mind, then let go of his heart and started to cultivate the Immortal Soul Technique.

Since the two of them had reached a tacit understanding between each other, they quickly entered a state of cultivation. Heavenly soul power and life energy constantly fused, and the two's souls were also tightly connected, borrowing the soul millstones in their soul seas to temper their souls.

Time passed day by day.

Ye Zichen and Jiao Yu Yan were the same as usual. They practiced the Eternal Soul Art in the morning and the pill technique in the afternoon. At night, Ye Chenfeng would train in his room by himself.

As they continued their cultivation, their souls became stronger and their alchemy skills became more profound. With Ye Chen's help, Jiao Yuyan's success rate in refining a mid quality Dao pill had exceeded 90%. She began attempting to refine a high quality Dao pill.

After continuously cultivating for nearly twenty days, the Heavenly Soul Body's Jiao Yuyan cultivated the Immortal Soul Technique to the first layer, transforming her soul into a shocking two star Dao Saint.

Three days later, Ye Chenfeng also reached the first level of the Immortal Soul Technique. His soul had completed a qualitative change after being refined by the soul millstone.

"This Immortal Soul Technique is indeed powerful. When I cultivate to the first layer, my soul will immediately reach the level of a 2-star Dao Saint. If I cultivate to the second layer, I wonder just how strong my soul will be!"

Feeling that his soul had reached the 2-star Dao Saint level, Ye Chenfeng revealed a hint of excitement. He felt that with his current soul realm, he was completely capable of refining the Great Dao Pill.

However, with the help of the Saint Spiritual Bead, it was still far from being enough to attract the lightning from the pills. Therefore, if he wanted to defeat those Saint Masters that had studied pills for tens of thousands of years, it was still far from enough.

"Looks like I can only place my hopes on the Nine-Layered Fire Cave!" Ye Chenfeng took a deep breath and felt a hint of anticipation towards the Nine Layer Fire Cave.
