Chen Ye listened and understood.
Indeed, his cultivation had progressed too quickly during this period.
However, Bai Susu was unaware of his inner details and mistakenly thought his realm was unstable, thus fighting for him to undergo the refinement of the Dragon Transformation Pool.
"True Inheritor Bai’s kindness, Chen will surely accept it."
Chen Ye withdrew his hand and said in a serious tone.
Bai Susu pursed her lips, she tidied up her appearance slightly, and coldly laughed:
"What does it have to do with me? If it weren’t for you defeating Li Min, the sect wouldn’t grant you the refining of the Dragon Transformation Pool. This is what you deserve, don’t wag your tail about randomly."
Got it.
This guy still refuses to admit.
Chen Ye had to go along with her, just keeping it in mind.
...
A stick of incense later.
The two finally arrived at the forbidden area behind Tianmen Peak—the Dragon Transformation Pool.
This is a Spirit Grain located at the node of the earth veins, surrounded by heavy restrictions, mist clinging, Spiritual Qi pervading.
At the entrance of the valley, there was an emaciated old man in a white robe, sparse hair, meditating.
Bai Susu had informed Chen Ye beforehand.
This old man has an extraordinary background, named Bai Liuyue, is a Fake Pill cultivator.
There are very few Fake Pill cultivators in the sect, each of them was a genius back then, and after failing to break through to the Golden Core, they had to borrow the Demon Core to form a Fake Pill.
"There’s still a Fake Pill cultivator in the sect... I had never heard of this before."
Chen Ye was surprised.
Bai Susu’s expression slightly solidified: "It’s normal not to know. Throughout the years, there have been very few Fake Pill cultivators in the sect, after all, seizing the inner core of a Golden Core Demon Beast is extremely challenging... Besides, although Fake Pill seems easy, it actually has endless troubles needing years of quiet adjustment to avoid being backlashed by the Demon Core."
Chen Ye thought silently.
Originally, he thought Lingyin Sect had four Golden Core elders, and over ten late Foundation Establishment Peak Masters.
Now it seems, the potential strength of Lingyin Sect is higher than he imagined.
He asked, "How many Fake Pill cultivators does the sect have?"
The result was Bai Susu actually shook her head: "How would I know? I know two, heard of two... It’s estimated that there are no more than five, among those some have left Yan Kingdom long ago seeking opportunities to renew the immortal path."
"And this is the watcher of the Dragon Transformation Pool, Senior Bai Liuyue."
Bai Susu lowered her voice to remind, then stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Disciple Bai Susu, meets Master Liuyue."
Though Bai Susu behaved extremely audaciously.
The old man in front of her,
is not only a Fake Pill cultivator, more importantly, his seniority is astonishing!
He’s the grandfather of the current second elder, the great-grandfather of Bai Susu’s grandfather... The Fake Pill Bai Liuyue used in Core Formation was precisely the inner core of a demon beast personally slain by the second elder.
Of course,
within the sect, Bai Susu calls him Master, otherwise, the various seniorities within the sect are too complicated, calling it tends to become chaotic.
"Susu girl ah..."
The old man’s voice was hoarse, carrying a trace of twilight,
"So what? The accumulation of the Dragon Transformation Pool is not easy, girl, you came today for your... little lover?
Bai Liuyue has lived for hundreds of years, what hasn’t he seen?
The small ambiguous aura between Chen Ye and Bai Susu, he saw right through with a glance.
Similarly.
Sect Master Zhao and various elders know Bai Susu’s temper deeply, even more aware of Bai Susu’s thoughts, otherwise they wouldn’t have given the Dragon Transformation Pool to an external cultivator?
Know this,
When Bai Susu makes a decision, nobody can change it.
Even these sect seniors, no matter how unwilling they are to see Bai Susu with Chen Ye, they have no way.
Since this is the case... They can only support Chen Ye more.
"Master!"
Bai Susu’s little face was red, stomped her feet,
"What little lover! This is... This is the sect’s meritorious subject! Sect Master specially permitted him to refine here!"
"Oh? Sect Master specially permitted?"
Bai Liuyue smiled with meaning, this grand sect, to put it simply, is the foundation of the Bai Zhao family, things of one’s own family, where is the reason to give them away?
"Younger Chen Ye, meets Senior."
Chen Ye neither humble nor arrogant, respectfully saluted.
"Hmm..."
Bai Liuyue assessed Chen Ye’s full body, the smile at the corner of his mouth became even more pronounced,
"Qi and blood like a dragon, solid foundation, what’s more rare is the energy of the sun is extremely abundant."
"Good, good."
"No wonder you can subdue this girl."
Bai Susu: "???"
The young girl felt ashamed to death, stomped and said: "Master! If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll tell the old man, let him have a good look at what kind of character his grandfather is."
"Alright, alright, I won’t say anymore, is that not enough?"
Bai Liuyue happily waved his hand, although threatened, he was in a good mood.
This girl... is indeed quite pitiful.
If someone accompanies her, that’s not bad.
He pointed his emaciated fingers to the sky.
"Open."
Rumble—
The rune-covered stone door slid open to both sides.
In an instant, the milky spiritual mist gushed out like a floodgate opening!
Just one breath made the body’s pores relax and the spiritual power inside rejoice.
"Go inside."
Bai Susu stood at the door, her small face slightly flushed from the mist, gave Chen Ye a playful push,
"You better cultivate well, or don’t blame me for being rude!"
Chen Ye smiled helplessly and saluted Bai Liuyue, then turned and strode into the rolling mist.
Just as his foot stepped into the stone door.
The sound of footsteps from behind Bai Susu surprisingly followed.
Chen Ye was stunned: "So, True Inheritor Bai also wants to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool for training..."
"Typically, true inheritors are not allowed inside."
Bai Susu said righteously,
"But does a true inheritor need to explain their actions to others?"
Right.
Makes sense.
The guarding cultivator outside was still from the Bai Family.
Chen Ye glanced outside, only to see Bai Liuyue slowly turn around, and leisurely said,
"Oh dear, I’m old, my eyesight isn’t good... can’t see anything."
Damned Lingyin Sect!
In the end, it’s just a blood-monopolizing family sect, with no fairness at all!
Chen Ye felt deeply for the grassroots disciples of the sect.
...
Inside the Dragon Transformation Pool, water mist filled the air, and spiritual energy was overflowing.
"This bastard... really has..."
Bai Susu pretended to meditate nearby, but her eyes secretly opened a slit, constantly peeking.
Vaguely,
one could see the man’s well-built upper body soaking in the pool.
No exaggerated muscle blocks, but smooth and tight lines, each inch containing explosive power.
Wide shoulders, a narrow waist, the back straight as a pine.
Watching,
the girl couldn’t help but swallow.
Unfortunately,
this guy is all for show and not practical!
Why does he have to be so strong... no one can endure it!
Bai Susu shivered, she regretted coming in.
"Is it nice to look at?"
A slightly teasing voice suddenly sounded.
"Looks... nice..."
Bai Susu instinctively replied.
Once the words were out, she snapped back to awareness, only to see Chen Ye, originally with his back to her, had somehow turned around, smiling at her.
"Ah!"
The girl was like a cat with its tail stepped on, furious and panicked,
"Hey... don’t misunderstand. I was just observing your spiritual power’s path! Afraid you’ll go astray!"
"Oh? So that’s it. Since it’s about observing spiritual power, how can True Inheritor Bai stay so far away? Why not come closer for a better look?"
Chen Ye said solemnly.
His gaze fell on the girl’s slender waist.
Easily within grip.
With just his hands, he could encircle that slim waist, and then...
Thinking of this, Chen Ye felt impulsive.
Although the Dragon Transformation Pool is a restricted sect area.
But Chen Ye had seen clearly, within the current Lingyin Sect, as long as Bai Susu supported him, he could act as he pleased without fear of punishment.
Splash!
The water splashed everywhere.
Before Bai Susu could react, Chen Ye had already leapt like a leopard, a hot hand breaking through the water to grasp her fair wrist.
"How bold!"
Susu was enraged, Susu was furious.
Susu was pulled into the pool by Chen Ye.
"Since True Inheritor Bai is shy, I can only volunteer to help the inheritor."
Chen Ye smiled, his arm slightly exerting force, pulling her vigorously into his embrace.
"Come over!"
The warm pool water washed over them.
Chen Ye, being a Fourth-Layer cultivator, had rapid hands.
In the blink of an eye.
Several pieces of clothing were already floating on the water.
"True Inheritor Bai should sit properly, don’t repeat what happened last time..."
