With adry throat, he opened hismouth, and stared at his elixir where earth-shattering changes occurred. "Isthis…this elixir sea?"
There were fivestates for cultivators: Qi condensation, human core, true Yang, virtual spiritand empty night.
Ye Chen wasastounded because the so-called elixir sea was one rank higher than elixirfield. Only when cultivators reached the state of empty night, could they openup elixir sea. Beyond his expectation, the true fire not only restored hiselixir field, but also opened up elixir sea for him.
Suddenly, the thinspiritual energy between the heavens and the earth waved.
Soon, the energypooled around Ye Chen, formed a spiritual energy whirlpool revolving aroundhim, poured into his body through all his acupoints and pores, and finallyrushed into his elixir field.
With each pore stretching,Ye Chen's body absorbed the spiritual energy between the heavens and the earthlike a black hole.
Right now, thetrue fire became activated again. All the energy rushing into Ye's field wasrefined by the fire and turned into golden true energy. Even the dry elixir seawas golden, with golden energy floating there.
"How could thefire refine true energy! "
Ye Chen stared athis elixir sea with misty eyes, staggered, fell on the ground and fainted.
In the earlymorning, bright and warm sunshine shone through the window and cast on Ye Chen'sface.
He slowly openedhis eyes and saw an innocent face with big eyes blinking in front of him.
"Big brother, youwake up." The boy showed two rows of white teeth.
"Who are you?" YeChen suddenly sat up, looked at the boy and his surrounding and found himselfin a strange place. "Where do I stay? Why am I here?"
The ingenuous boyanswered with a honest smile, "My name is Hu Wa. Here is the little spiritualgarden of Hengyue Sect. You fainted in the forest last night, my grandpa and Ibrought you home."
"Heng…HengyueSect?" The answer held Ye Chen in trance.
The Great ChuEmpire was ruled by one palace and three sects. Zhengyang, Qingyun and HengyueSects dominated the south, forming a situation of tripartite confrontation.Hengyue and Zhengyang Sects were rivals. Ye Chen never expected today he couldcome to Zhengyang's antagonistic counterpart—Hengyue Sect after yesterday's banishment.
"Are you hungry? Iwill fetch you something to eat." Seeing Ye Chen absent-minded, Hu Wa ranoutside.
Ye lost in thoughton the bamboo bed. After a while, he became conscious and recalled hisexperience last night.
"Last night?"Experience of last night reminded Ye Chen to check his body in a hurry. Thegolden elixir sea looked like a new world, where the upper space was envelopedin white mists, with golden energy waves rolling downward.
"I am notdreaming. Everything is real."
Ye Chen's breathbecame rapid and shallow. After one night's sleep, his broken elixir field notonly healed, but also opened up an elixir sea, where the true energy turned tobe more and more quintessential. Clenching his fists, Ye Chen regained thelong-lost feeling of being a cultivator. His eye-sight and strength refined atthis moment, and were even better than before.
All of theseshould be attributed to the golden flame.
Ye Chen thought ofthe true fire, and subconsciously looked at it suspending in his elixir sea.Its flames flickered just like a child leapt and shouted joyously.
"True fire, whereare you from?"
Once Ye Chentriggered his thoughts, the flame appeared in his palm. The temperature in theroom rose dramatically. He did not fear the flame any more, but felt close toit.
"You will followme from today on." With unspeakable happiness in his mind, Ye Chen smiled andtouched the flickering flame.
"Big brother, comeout for breakfast!"
"I am coming." Ye Chen stored away the truefire and jumped out of bed.
