Female Star's Personal Bodyguard

"The Marrow Cleansing Elixir, this elixir possesses the power of creation, able to cleanse one's tendons and marrow, transforming the body entirely!" Ye Chen said.

"Cleanse tendons and marrow, transform entirely?"

A group of elders looked at the Marrow Cleansing Elixir, their eyes filled with burning desire, each one harboring the intention to seize it.

However, since the elixir was in Ye Chen's hands, even if they made a move, they wouldn't be able to snatch it!

"Mr. Yang, you are a peak Grandmaster, with vigor as strong as a dragon, only one step away from reaching the realm of Nine Dragons' Reverence!" Ye Chen looked at Yang Shouye. "Originally, given your advanced age, stepping forward seemed almost impossible!"

"But with this Marrow Cleansing Elixir, you can definitely break through the Extreme Realm, ascending to the Nine Dragons' Reverence!"

Yang Shouye was a peak Grandmaster, his blood and energy immensely powerful, if not for his advanced age, he might have already ascended.

However, with this Marrow Cleansing Elixir, even at an old age, Yang Shouye could still ascend to Nine Dragons' Reverence!

"Ye Chen, you plan to give me this Marrow Cleansing Elixir?" Yang Shouye asked in disbelief.

"Yes!" Ye Chen replied. "You are my grandfather, and now that I've become accomplished, naturally, I must honor you!"

Yang Shouye had shown kindness to Ye Chen and treated him like his own grandson. Now that Ye Chen was accomplished, he naturally wanted to repay that kindness!

"Good, good, good!" Yang Shouye looked at Ye Chen, both gratified and excited, uttering three 'goods' in succession.

"The Marrow Cleansing Elixir is miraculous, but the potion is potent, you must be cautious!"

Ye Chen handed the Marrow Cleansing Elixir to Yang Shouye and instructed him on a few things to prevent any accident while taking the potion.

"Ye Chen!"

Xu Wuming licked his dry lips, his eyes almost spitting fire as he looked at Ye Chen.

Such a valuable item as the Marrow Cleansing Elixir, Ye Chen didn't even think to honor him with it, but instead gave it to Yang Shouye—this was simply outrageous!

Yang Shouye was good to Ye Chen, but he benefited for nothing, even giving away his granddaughters!

"Mr. Xu, do you also want the Marrow Cleansing Elixir?" Ye Chen looked at Xu Wuming.

"Of course!" Xu Wuming replied. "I don't want to shatter mountains and rivers, becoming an unparalleled powerhouse, but I don't want to die!"

"I'm already eighty-six years old, if I can't break through, I'll be dead in a few years!"

Xu Wuming didn't want to become a strong practitioner, but he hasn't lived long enough, he doesn't want to die so soon!

A peak Grandmaster can live up to a hundred years, living another year past that is a bonus. Xu Wuming is still lively, but who knows which day he might just die!

"Alright!" Ye Chen said. "Just in time, I have two Marrow Cleansing Elixirs, one for Mr. Yang, the other will be yours!"

"Wait!" Qin WuMing stepped forward, blocking Ye Chen. "You have two Marrow Cleansing Elixirs, giving one to Yang Shouye, the other to Xu Wuming, what about me?"

Qin WuMing, like Xu Wuming, was nearing the end of his life span, and upon learning that Ye Chen had another Marrow Cleansing Elixir, he could hardly contain himself!

He had no ambitions for dominance, but who wouldn't want a few more years?

"Uh." Ye Chen glanced at Qin WuMing, then at Xu Wuming, appearing to hesitate over who should receive the Marrow Cleansing Elixir.

"Give it to me!" Qin WuMing asserted confidently. "You caused trouble for my two granddaughters and didn't even offer a dowry. What's wrong with giving me an elixir!"

"..."

"Qingling, ask Ye Chen for the elixir, then pass it to me!" Xu Wuming didn't fume but looked at Xu Qingling.

The most terrifying wind in the world, naturally, is the pillow wind! Xu Wuming might be unable to command Ye Chen, but he can't command Xu Qingling?

"Xu Wuming, you old scoundrel, you're truly despicable!" Qin WuMing cursed.

"I am despicable!" Xu Wuming laughed heartily. "Qingling, what are you hesitating for, quickly ask for the elixir!"

"Uh!" Xu Qingling was still stunned.

"Silly granddaughter!" Xu Wuming said angrily. "Your grandpa is almost ninety, if he doesn't break through now, he's as good as dead, do you want to watch your grandpa die?"

"Ye Chen..." Hearing her grandpa's words, Xu Qingling looked at Ye Chen with some difficulty.

"It's alright!" Ye Chen chuckled, soothing her with a few words, then turned to Xu Wuming. "Mr. Xu, in fact, I have three Marrow Cleansing Elixirs, so there's no need to fight over them, each of you can have one!"

"..."

The elders were stunned by Ye Chen's casual and relaxed declaration, doubting the truthfulness of his words.

Just now, he claimed to have only two, but after Xu Wuming and Qin WuMing argued, there were suddenly three... Does he perhaps possess many Marrow Cleansing Elixirs but is reluctant to bring them out?

"Ye Chen, do you have more Marrow Cleansing Elixirs?"

"We will buy them!"

Ye Chen took out two Marrow Cleansing Elixirs, one for Xu Wuming, the other for Qin WuMing, which made Li Kuishou and others restless.

"You'll buy them?" Ye Chen chuckled.

"Yes!" Kun Wuchang said. "As long as you have Marrow Cleansing Elixirs, no matter the price, we're willing to buy!"

Though Kun Wuchang and others were in decent health, given their age, they were inevitably faced with aging, illness, and death!

These unavoidable occurrences worried them deeply, to the point they wouldn't even face it!

They were esteemed elders of Huaxia, honored and respected, but once they aged, they'd have nothing left!

Thus, they feared aging more than the average person!

The Marrow Cleansing Elixir would allow them to break through and live another hundred years, making it necessary, worth pursuing at any cost!

"The Marrow Cleansing Elixir doesn't belong to this world, there's nowhere on Earth you can buy it!" Ye Chen shook his head.

"You don't have any more?" Kun Wuchang asked incredulously.

"None left!" Ye Chen replied. "The Marrow Cleansing Elixir comes from the Canglan Realm and is extremely rare and scarce. I don't have much of it either!"

"Really no more?" Kun Wuchang asked disappointedly.

"..." Ye Chen fell silent.

"Old yet still a thief!" Li Kuishou lamented. "I know, the older you get, the more you annoy people, but the older we get, the less we want to die, the more we fear death!"

"Besides, the world is about to be in chaos, and we might still be of some use alive!"

They had reached the pinnacle of power, enjoyed wealth and luxury, and yet were even more unwilling to die!

Moreover, with the world soon to be in chaos, they still had their uses alive!

"Alright!" Ye Chen sighed. "The Marrow Cleansing Elixirs were something I snatched, in total I got seven, and they are all contraband, so I didn't dare to bring them all out!"

"I've given you the Marrow Cleansing Elixirs, so you must keep it a secret for me, or it'll be trouble if someone comes looking!"

"..."

Ye Chen's serious nonsense left a group of elders speechless, but for the Elixir, they had to bear with it even if Ye Chen was just talking nonsense!

"There are four left, no more after this!" Ye Chen took out four jade bottles and gave them to Li Kuishou and the others.

Ye Chen had plenty of Marrow Cleansing Elixirs, but scarcity makes things valuable, so Ye Chen had to put on an act.

"Marrow Cleansing Elixir!"

The group of elders held the elixirs, extremely excited.

A tiny elixir could break their boundaries and let them live a hundred more years; it's no wonder they're excited!

"Ye Chen, how much is the Marrow Cleansing Elixir? Consider it bought by us!" Wen Xiangyou said.

Yang Shouye, Xu Wuming, Qin Wuming were connected, so they could take Ye Chen's elixirs for free, but they couldn't!

"No need!" Ye Chen shook his head. "You grant me special privileges, let me marry more wives, and support my company. Consider these few Marrow Cleansing Elixirs as my respects to you all!"

Ye Chen had long planned the Marrow Cleansing Elixir deal; with the elders providing him convenience, Ye Chen had to show some goodwill.

In the end, Ye Chen left, with Xu Qingling following, and Chu Xianzi was also taken away.

Ye Chen had abducted Chu Xianzi, provoking Zai's attack, which shocked him greatly!

Since mastering the Heavenly Emperor Fist, Ye Chen had been invincible, unstoppable! Especially after advancing to Epic, Ye Chen was even more uncontrollable, facing no opposition!

However, Ye Chen, no matter how fierce, still struggled against those ancient great evils!

Ultimately, Ye Chen's cultivation was too short, his foundation too shallow, too weak!

But Ye Chen realized this and wouldn't waste any more time, ascending rapidly!

Ye Chen found Yun Zheyue, settled Xu Qingling, and Chu Xianzi. Then, without delay, he went to the island nation to bring back Qianyue Bing and Naimei Xue.

The sisters had gone to the island nation to visit family but mysteriously stayed, never to return!

Moreover, not only did they not return, but all contact was lost, forcing Ye Chen to make the trip.

However, upon Ye Chen's arrival at the island nation, what he saw left him astounded.

Qianyue Bing and Naimei Xue were not on the island nation, but in the surrounding waters, trapped in a peculiar domain field with them!

This domain field was eerie and filled with a vast force, as if some terrifying being lurked in the depths of the sea!

After rescuing the sisters, Ye Chen activated his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye to investigate, seeing a massive force, seemingly asleep...

This force was vast, absolutely surpassing the Great Saint, and belonged to the Epic level!

This discovery shocked Ye Chen because, aside from Xiahou Chun, there was another Epic on Earth!

Ye Chen knew his foundation was thin, and even if he provoked this Epic, he might not fare well, so he didn't act rashly.

Returning to the capital, Ye Chen settled Naimei Xue and Qianyue Bing before leaving once more.

Ye Chen went to the South Sea to meet Na Wudao and brought back Li Qian Ge!

Then, Ye Chen went to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan to find Grandmaster Yi Shuiqing, meeting briefly before returning to the capital.

With a chaotic world on the horizon, Ye Chen was forging alliances; whether it was Na Wudao or Yi Shuiqing, they were excellent partners.

Now, with the world still peaceful, it doesn't seem much, but once chaos erupts, mutual support will surely resolve many crises!

However, allies can only be external aid; to safely transcend tribulations, reliance must be on oneself!

So Ye Chen was preparing to go into seclusion, to comprehend the Heavenly Emperor Runes, and master more of the Great Dao!

The Heavenly Emperor Runes engraved with three thousand Great Dao, if Ye Chen comprehended them all, could definitely transcend on the spot, surpassing Epics, rivaling the Heavenly Emperor!

Thus, Ye Chen's seclusion was to concentrate on comprehending the Dao!

Even without comprehending all three thousand, understanding even half would make one invincible!

Xiahou Chun mastered one thousand two hundred, enough to vanquish Zai, causing his kind to flee; if Ye Chen mastered one thousand five hundred, he could potentially slay beings like Zai in an instant!

However, just as Ye Chen arranged everything and prepared to enter seclusion, Xiahou Chun returned!

"Ye Chen, Zai and the others aren't dead; the situation is troubling!" Xiahou Chun said with a serious expression.
