Chapter 79 Ning Tian: Stop It, Wu Feng Is Still Here…
"It's not a hidden weapon, it's a cultivation pill."
Ye Chen smiled helplessly, then freed one hand and took out two jade boxes, placing them on the table.
He opened them, revealing a pill inside each—Soul Enhancement Pills.
Ye Chen had prepared four pills for each of them, Ning Tian and Wu Feng, though he wouldn't give them all at once.
If he gave all four in a single go, their goodwill toward him would spike only once.
But if he gave them one at a time, each time would raise their affection again—four times in total. Even if the effect decreased with each gift, the overall gain would still be higher.
"What kind of pill is this? I've never seen something like it." Ning Tian looked curiously at the glowing pill inside the box.
In the three empires of the Douluo Continent, alchemy wasn't very advanced. High-grade pills were rare, and she had practically tried all common ones—but she had never seen anything like what Ye Chen was offering.
"This is a Soul Enhancement Pill. After taking it, your cultivation increases directly by a large amount. It can be used multiple times with no side effects. It's one of the Tang Sect's most precious pills—consider it a welcome gift," Ye Chen explained with a grin.
Since Ning Tian and Wu Feng were both knowledgeable, if Ye Chen had said it came from his family, they might have been suspicious. But if he said it was a Tang Sect internal product, that made it far more believable.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Ning Tian was instantly intrigued.
Of course, the main reason she believed it was because she trusted Ye Chen—she believed he would never lie to or trick them.
That made the pill even more precious in her eyes.
There were many pills that improved cultivation, but almost all had side effects that reduced future potential.
The best available on the continent was the Soul Ascension Pill, but that only worked for those below Soul Elder level, and only one could ever be taken.
Both Ning Tian and Wu Feng had already used that pill before. So for them, it was useless now—yet Ye Chen had somehow produced something even more effective!
Ye Chen smiled and motioned for them to take it.
"Alright!"
Wu Feng and Ning Tian nodded together and swallowed the pills quickly.
The pill melted instantly upon entering their mouths.
A wave of warmth surged through them, followed by an incomparably pure energy that nourished their bodies and elevated their soul power.
The feeling was just like when they had taken Soul Ascension Pills before—but even more refined. This energy contained no impurities, merging perfectly with their own soul power.
Neither of them dared to relax. They immediately began circulating their soul power to absorb and refine the energy.
…
A few minutes later.
Ning Tian finished first, reaching the 30th level.
Her rank stopped there, but the pill's energy still lingered in her body. Once she obtained her next spirit ring, the stored energy would erupt, pushing her to level 33 easily.
"How do you feel?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.
"It's unbelievable—there isn't the slightest impurity!" Ning Tian was completely astonished.
The Soul Ascension Pill was already the best cultivation-enhancing pill below the Soul Elder level, but even then, she had been able to sense impurities in the energy and had needed at least half a month to cleanse them out.
Ye Chen's pill, however, gave nothing but the purest energy—like powering up through hard training itself.
No wonder it could be taken multiple times with no adverse effects.
Its value had to be at least ten times that of a Soul Ascension Pill—maybe even more if auctioned publicly!
So much for the Tang Sect being "in decline."
If a declining Tang Sect could offer something like this, how powerful must it have been at its peak?
Ning Tian could barely imagine it.
"Ye Chen, do you have more of these? I can pay for them…" Ning Tian asked hopefully.
"Of course, but not many. You each get four as a welcome gift. I'll give you the rest later, one at a time. If you want more beyond that, you'll need to exchange Tang Sect contribution points. They're not sold externally.
Also, this pill works well at the Soul Elder level but becomes less effective after reaching the Soul Ancestor stage. In the end, you'll still need to rely on your own cultivation. Over-relying on pills leads to stagnation."
Ye Chen explained patiently.
"Hehe~ got it~ You're so nice, Ye Chen~"
Ning Tian stuck out her tongue playfully and giggled.
Even if she couldn't buy more, knowing she still had three pills waiting made her thrilled. Just three more could increase her level by at least two ranks—saving almost a whole year of effort.
The more she thought about it, the happier she felt. Then she sneaked a glance at Wu Feng beside her.
When Wu Feng wasn't looking, Ning Tian leaned in and quickly pecked Ye Chen on the cheek.
"Hmm?"
Ye Chen froze for a second, then turned to look at Ning Tian's gorgeous, blushing face, his gaze lingering on her.
"Uh… what's wrong? You don't like it?" Ning Tian ducked her head nervously, a little flustered.
Maybe she had been too forward…
As she hesitated, Ye Chen suddenly said, "Not enough."
Before she could react, Ye Chen's arm slid around her slender waist, and his other hand gently lifted her chin.
Ning Tian blinked, dazed.
Then Ye Chen leaned in closer.
"Mm…"
Ning Tian felt the warmth of his lips. Her eyes widened before closing involuntarily. The blush spread quickly from her cheeks to her neck and ears.
Wu Feng still had at least ten minutes left in her refinement—so Ye Chen took the opportunity to be a little bolder.
He hadn't expected Ning Tian to resist—and surprisingly, she didn't…
…
…
…
Ten minutes later.
Ning Tian lay in Ye Chen's arms, face completely flushed as she quietly adjusted her clothes.
Ye Chen was far too bold…
He, on the other hand, licked his lips with satisfaction.
Though Ning Tian's petite figure couldn't compare to Ma Xiaotao's curves, she had her own unique charm.
As Ye Chen's hand started wandering again—
"Hey, stop it, Wu Feng's still here…" Ning Tian quickly stopped him, panicking.
If it had been just the two of them, she wouldn't have minded—but Wu Feng was right next to them!
She hadn't even dared to make a sound earlier, terrified that Wu Feng would hear and tease her about it all night...
"Alright, alright, next time then…"
Ye Chen shrugged helplessly. He didn't mind, but Ning Tian was simply too shy.
Next time, he thought, he'd take her out alone for a proper date—to deepen their bond.
"Buzz…"
At that moment, a surge of energy erupted from Wu Feng's body—she had completed her breakthrough.
Ning Tian hurriedly slipped out of Ye Chen's embrace and turned to look at her.
"I— I just leveled up twice!!"
Wu Feng's face was full of joy!
She had been a level-24 Advanced Soul Master. After just one pill, she had jumped straight to the peak of level 26 and could possibly reach 27 after another month of cultivation.
It had saved her months of hard training!
Even though she didn't know as much as Ning Tian, she understood how rare and valuable such a pill was.
No sect on the continent would ever give something this precious as an initiation gift.
So clearly, this wasn't an official Tang Sect gift—it was something Ye Chen had given them personally.
Realizing that filled her heart with emotion, and her affection for Ye Chen soared even higher.
Ye Chen wasn't just handsome and talented, but also gentle and considerate—especially toward her and Ning Tian.
If Ning Tian hadn't been there, she probably would've thrown herself into his arms and kissed him fiercely right then and there…
