The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1389 - 1380: Eating Like Candy

Ancient Tomb of the Gods and Demons.

In front of that vast sea of flames.

After extracting Liang Zuoyi’s Lifebound Blood Essence, Ye Chenfeng took Liang Zuoyi and Su Bingshuan back to that sea of flames.

Ye Chenfeng did not extract Su Bingshuan’s Lifebound Blood Essence because, through previous interactions, Ye Chenfeng had gained a general understanding of Su Bingshuan as a woman. He preferred to be friends with Su Bingshuan rather than hold her life in his hands, especially since Su Bingshuan had never shown any malice towards Ye Chenfeng.

In the distant sky, that enormous black fissure was still gathering energy. The blackness within the fissure grew increasingly dense, and its size kept expanding as if something wanted to break free from it.

Ye Chenfeng and the others did not notice the change in the black fissure. After bringing Su Bingshuan and Liang Zuoyi back to the sea of flames, the flames that had been swirling around him returned to the sea. After explaining something to Shui Menghan, Ye Chenfeng sat cross-legged on the ground, ready to fully integrate the energy within his meridians into himself.

The bald man from the Shuis had strength at the late stage of the Third Heavenly Layer of the Ocean Gathering Realm. The man with the birthmark was at the late stage of the Fourth Heavenly Layer. Han Dongmei from Wanyue Pavilion was at the peak of the Second Heavenly Layer, while Yang Xiaochun was at the middle stage of the Third Heavenly Layer.

Ye Chenfeng alternately activated the two Spiritual Qi Rivers, with the Divine Blood Manual and Demon’s Heaven Manual running in sequence. Now, Ye Chenfeng’s strength was already at the initial stage of the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Ocean Gathering Realm. Absorbing some energy from these four people posed little burden to him.

As the Divine Blood Manual and Demon’s Heaven Manual continued to operate alternately, the energy in Ye Chenfeng’s meridians gradually integrated into his body bit by bit.

As Ye Chenfeng continued to fuse the energy in his meridians.

Shui Menghan, Su Bingshuan, and Liang Zuoyi found a place to sit and watched Ye Chenfeng from a distance. They knew Ye Chenfeng was merging energy and could not be disturbed.

Shui Menghan had already learned the general situation from Ye Chenfeng’s mouth. After looking admiringly at her own big brother Ye for a while, she glanced at Su Bingshuan and Liang Zuoyi beside her, feeling no good impression towards either.

After all, Su Bingshuan looked like a fairy descended from the Ninth Heaven, which instinctively gave Shui Menghan a sense of crisis, whereas Liang Zuoyi had his Lifebound Blood Essence extracted by Ye Chenfeng. Shui Menghan knew Ye Chenfeng must have some defenses against Liang Zuoyi.

Looking at Liang Zuoyi, Shui Menghan asked, "So you’re going to be Ye big brother’s errand boy from now on? You better not play any tricks in front of me, or I’ll find plenty of ways to deal with you."

In front of others, Shui Menghan wouldn’t appear so docile, displaying her original demoness nature once again.

Having his Lifebound Blood Essence extracted, Liang Zuoyi felt extremely oppressed. Wanyue Pavilion, like the Shuis, was an authentic Fourth-Rank Sect. When had Liang Zuoyi ever been treated like this? However, looking over at Ye Chenfeng, who was fusing his strength, he sighed heavily inwardly, comforting himself, "A real man can bow and rise again."

Then, a stiff smile crept onto Liang Zuoyi’s face as he said, "Before leaving this relic, I will stay faithfully with the young master to protect his safety, without any disloyalty."

Shui Menghan knew Liang Zuoyi was referring to Ye Chenfeng as the young master and was somewhat satisfied with Liang Zuoyi’s attitude. As for Su Bingshuan beside them, her gaze at Liang Zuoyi became even more disdainful.

In the distance, Ye Chenfeng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his aura suddenly surged as the energy in his meridians fully integrated.

The airflow around Ye Chenfeng began to turn chaotic. The aura within his body at the initial stage of the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Ocean Gathering Realm continuously increased until, at a certain moment, Ye Chenfeng’s aura surged like a tide, directly breaking through the bottleneck of the initial stage of the Fifth Heavenly Layer and reaching the middle stage.

However, the aura in Ye Chenfeng’s body showed no signs of stopping. After stepping into the middle stage of the Fifth Heavenly Layer, he almost effortlessly entered the late stage. When Ye Chenfeng intended to continue towards the peak of the Fifth Heavenly Layer, he exhausted the energy in his meridians.

Ye Chenfeng felt that he was just a step away from reaching the peak of the Fifth Heavenly Layer. He planned to push straight through to the peak, so he flicked his storage ring, and a bottle of Spirit Nourishing Pills appeared in his hand. These were the elixirs he had previously refined.

Spirit Nourishing Pills are used by cultivators to enhance their strength. Ye Chenfeng poured six Spirit Nourishing Pills from the porcelain bottle into his mouth. After swallowing the pills, a warm current instantly surged through his body, with some energy reappearing in his meridians.

Ye Chenfeng continued to alternately operate the Divine Blood Manual and Demon’s Heaven Manual. After fully integrating the efficacy of a bottle of Spirit Nourishing Pills, he found himself still a sliver away from the peak of the Fifth Heavenly Layer. It seemed he needed to consume another bottle of Spirit Nourishing Pills.

Ye Chenfeng’s storage ring flickered again, and another bottle of Spirit Nourishing Pills appeared in his hand. Without hesitation, he swallowed another six Spirit Nourishing Pills.

In the distance, Shui Menghan, Su Bingshuan, and Liang Zuoyi were already stunned by Ye Chenfeng’s actions when they saw him. They recognized that Ye Chenfeng was consuming Spirit Nourishing Pills.

It’s known that in the Earth Profound Realm, only the Spiritual Medicine Valley has Alchemists, and with so many sects in the Earth Profound Realm, each sect’s access to elixirs is extremely limited. Moreover, the highest-ranked Alchemist in the Spiritual Medicine Valley is only Fourth-Rank. Although Spirit Nourishing Pills are only First-grade Elixirs, they are indispensable for cultivators to enhance their strength on a daily basis. The annual production of Spirit Nourishing Pills by the Spiritual Medicine Valley is also extremely limited.

A person like Su Bingshuan and Liang Zuoyi can only receive two bottles of Spirit Nourishing Pills from their sect each year. Yet, Ye Chenfeng had just swallowed two bottles of Spirit Nourishing Pills, which was their entire year’s supply! How could Liang Zuoyi and the others not be shocked?

The expression on Liang Zuoyi’s face looked paralyzed as he asked, "Shui Menghan, is the young master the son-in-law of the Shuis? Is this how Spirit Nourishing Pills are consumed? I haven’t even tried taking more than three at a time!"

Shui Menghan was also extraordinarily shocked. In the Shuis, her elder sister Shui Ziyan was greatly favored by their grandfather, yet she only got three bottles of Spirit Nourishing Pills a year, while Shui Menghan herself only received two bottles per year. So Ye Chenfeng’s action seemed extremely domineering to Shui Menghan, Su Bingshuan, and Liang Zuoyi.

After swallowing two bottles of Spirit Nourishing Pills, Ye Chenfeng’s aura surged again, and the two Spiritual Qi Rivers in his meridians alternately activated. His teeth were clenched tightly, with a "Boom!" sound, an aura at the peak of the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Ocean Gathering Realm shot up from Ye Chenfeng’s body.

Within Ye Chenfeng’s body, golden speckles of light multiplied in his blood, and his eyes flickered with two dark rays, indicating that his Divine Blood was slowly becoming richer and his demonic eyes were continuously consolidating.

After advancing to the peak of the Fifth Heavenly Layer, Ye Chenfeng’s momentum gradually stabilized, and his spiritual energy was restrained. He slowly opened his eyes, stood up from the ground, stretched lazily, and couldn’t help but exclaim, "It feels amazing!"

Upon reaching the peak of the Fifth Heavenly Layer, the Black Xuan Armor and Black Xuan Sword on Ye Chenfeng’s body gained more weight and suppression. However, after slightly adjusting the operation of his spiritual energy, he quickly adapted to it.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng rise, Shui Menghan was the first to approach him and asked, "Big brother Ye, did you just take Spirit Nourishing Pills?"

Ye Chenfeng replied in confusion, "Yeah! Is there a problem?"

Equally curious, Liang Zuoyi couldn’t help but ask, "Young master, is this how you usually consume Spirit Nourishing Pills?"

Seeing the shock on Liang Zuoyi’s face, Ye Chenfeng smugly said, "Usually, I wouldn’t consume so many at once, but these Spirit Nourishing Pills are like candy to me! I pop a few when I’m bored, though eating too much candy can get tiresome. Don’t you eat Spirit Nourishing Pills this way?"

Candy?

To compare Spirit Nourishing Pills to candy?

Liang Zuoyi truly felt like running into a wall. He only received two bottles of Spirit Nourishing Pills a year and cherished each one. Ye Chenfeng’s words almost took the wind out of him, making him feel like coughing up blood.
