Chapter: 5360

That day, Hong Changqing was at home and witnessed with his own eyes the Blood-Red Elixir's incredible power.

In fact, he had used his master's elixir for prolonging life and had witnessed with his own eyes the enormous difference between using the Prolonging Life Elixir and the Blood-Red Elixir for Heart Restoration.

So, he was very clear in his mind that the Blood-Red Elixir for Heart Restoration's power could be tenfold or several dozen fold stronger than his master's elixir.

And this is what drove him to travel thousands of miles to Jinling.

But he didn't expect that when he first met Ye Chen, Ye Chen would give him such a precious elixir so readily, and just moments before, he had also set up a trap for Shen Zhi, only to be caught by Ye Chen on the spot.

So, he nervously asked: "Master Ye... Why are you giving me such a precious elixir?"

Ye Chen smiled calmly: "Since you've sworn loyalty to me, you're now my disciple. This elixir can be considered as a welcome gift."

Hong Changqing's heart was filled with trepidation and anxiety, but he noticed that Ye Chen's expression was sincere, not joking around, and his heart suddenly became agitated and unbearable.

This Blood-Red Elixir for Heart Restoration held great significance for him.

It is true that over the past two hundred years, no one has been able to break through the Eight Star Warrior realm and enter the Illuminated Realm. Let alone step into the Dark Realm.

So, he also thought that it was possible that he would be like all his predecessors and not be able to enter the Illuminated Realm in this lifetime.

Now, Ye Chen told him that all he needed was this one elixir to achieve breakthrough, which left him utterly thrilled!

So, with hands respectfully holding the elixir, he said in a sincere tone: "Master Ye, I will never forget your benevolence and kindness!"

Ye Chen slightly nodded his head, then spoke: "Alright, you don't need to be so polite here. Just grab this elixir and rush back to your place to meditate on it. After breaking through, come find Shen Zhen at the Ji Shi Hall and report to him."

It was because Ye Chen wanted to temporarily place Hong Changqing under Shen Zhi's guidance, on one hand to temper his Eight Star Warrior cultivation, and on the other hand, to give Shen Zhi a stepping stone.

Hong Changqing also knew that Ye Chen had his own considerations, so he immediately responded: "Your disciple will comply!"

He then looked at Shen Zhi with a sheepish expression and said: "Shen God, my previous attempts were just trivial tricks. Your medical skills are undoubtedly far superior to mine. I was indeed a bit reckless in my behavior, and I hope you won't hold me to the same standard."

Shen Zhen hastily replied: "Hong Heavenly Master, don't be so polite. From now on, we're friends, and past events need not be brought up again."

Hong Changqing saw Shen Zhen's magnanimity and quickly bowed his head, saying: "Shen God, from now on, I will stay in Jinling. If you have any matters that require my assistance, please feel free to contact me at any time."

"Okay!" Shen Zhen said with a polite nod.

Hong Changqing turned around and looked at Ye Chen again, bowing his head: "Master Ye, if there's no other instruction for the time being, your disciple will first return to the hotel to meditate."

"Ye Chen nodded: 'Go ahead, I'll remember to be informed if there are any new developments at my grandmother's place.'"

"Hong Changqing understood and nodded heavily before leaving Jinling Temple with a thousand thanks."

"After Hong Changqing left, Shen Zhen finally relaxed his expression and couldn't help but sigh: 'Thanks to Master Ye's timely appearance, otherwise I would have been swindled by this fellow Hong Tianshi and lost the Jinling Temple.'"

"Ye Chen smiled: 'No harm done, he can just get fooled and I'll retrieve it for you again.'" JrNovels.com
