Pill Saint, Weapon Emperor, Array God, Unparalleled in the World

Seeing that Luo Chen was staring at her, she had no choice but to take a small bite.

The flesh melts in your mouth, and a burst of sweet juice explodes on your tongue.

The spiritual energy slid down his throat, warming his limbs and bones.

Ning Fei's eyes suddenly lit up. Where was the poison in this?

I was judging others by my own petty standards.

"Such abundant spiritual energy! This fruit has a sweet and fragrant taste, unlike anything I've ever seen before. May I ask if Patriarch Luo could tell me about it?"

Luo Chen smiled calmly: "Of course."

He picked up a spirit fruit and placed it in his palm: "This fruit is called the Spirit Fragrance Fruit. It grows on the peaks of mountains over three thousand feet high. It takes seven years to grow one leaf, seven leaves to form a bud, three years to bloom before the flower falls, and ten years to bear fruit."

Ning Fei's pupils constricted sharply, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Then isn't this a sixth-grade spirit fruit?"

Luo Chen nodded: "Miss Ning has good insight, indeed."

Rank 6!

Ning Fei's mind went blank.

"this......"

She looked at the half-eaten spirit fruit in her hand, her fingers trembling slightly.

I want to return it.

This fruit is too precious for her to accept.

A sixth-grade spirit fruit is something that elders in the Fierce Blade Sect would only bring out when rewarding merits.

What right does an inner disciple like her have to enjoy such privileges?

But seeing the bite mark and clear teeth marks, I hesitated again.

Is it okay to put it back like this?

The head of the Luo family probably won't eat it, wouldn't that be a waste?

Ning Fei stood there, clutching the spirit fruit in her hand.

Letting go is one problem, not letting go is another.

Luo Chen looked at Ning Fei's embarrassed expression with a sly smile.

This sensible girl is just so shy.

"Miss Ning, since you've already taken a bite, you might as well finish it all, otherwise you'll be wasting such a good spiritual fruit."

Luo Chen smiled, his tone tinged with a hint of mockery.

Ning Fei felt even more uncomfortable being stared at by Luo Chen.

She could only nod: "Alright, then thank you for your generous gift, Patriarch Luo."

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her sleeve to cover her lips.

They nibbled on it in small bites.

The pulp of the Lingxiang fruit melts in your mouth, and the juice is sweet and refreshing.

A warm spiritual energy slid down his throat and spread throughout his body.

Before long, a fragrant fruit was in his stomach.

Ning Fei lowered her sleeves, about to speak.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy within his abdomen exploded.

It transformed into a mighty torrent, rushing straight to the dantian.

The spiritual energy surged wildly within her body, impacting her meridians.

It felt like my dantian had been branded with a red-hot iron.

Ning Fei's expression changed drastically.

He exclaimed in shock, "I...I think I'm about to break through! Patriarch Luo, may I borrow your cultivation room?"

His voice was hurried, filled with barely suppressed joy and apprehension.

Luo Chen nodded: "This is my cultivation room. Miss Ning, please feel free to go. I will protect you here."

He pointed to the room behind him.

He remained calm, as if he had expected it.

Ning Fei was taken aback.

Looking at his nonchalant demeanor, a thought flashed through my mind.

"Could it be that Patriarch Luo had already foreseen that this spirit fruit could help me break through?"

Luo Chen's lips curled up: "Miss Ning is exceptionally intelligent."

He said slowly, "A favor isn't given away for nothing if it's put into practice. You owe me another favor now."

Ning Fei's face turned red.

I said I was here to return a favor.

Now look what's happened! I haven't repaid the favor, and I'm indebted to someone else.

It's still an immense favor.

Her original cultivation level was at the peak of Grandmaster.

With the spiritual energy of this sixth-grade spiritual fruit, she can directly break through her cultivation level.

If one successfully enters the Foundation Establishment stage, one has officially entered the spiritual cultivation phase.

He became a true monk.

This favor is many times greater than the previous favor of 1.5 million spirit stones.

But this favor is not easy to repay.

I just don't know why the head of the Luo family is treating me so well.

She looked up at Luo Chen.

The man had a smile on his face, but it was impossible to tell what was going on.

But there's no time to think about it now; breaking through to a higher level is the most important thing.

The spiritual energy in my dantian was already surging; if it wasn't suppressed soon, it would get out of control.

"Alright, I'll remember this favor from Patriarch Luo. I must take my leave now, as I cannot delay any longer."

Luo Chen nodded.

Ning Fei immediately rushed into that room.

Although I felt it was a bit presumptuous, I couldn't worry about that at the moment.

The door slammed shut.

Luo Chen looked at the tightly closed door and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He lifted his robe and sat down at the stone table.

He poured himself a cup of celestial wine and slowly sipped it.

Outside the courtyard.

Tang Yan held the sword and leaned against the wall.

Lei Zheng squatted on the threshold, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth.

Both of them heard the noise inside the house.

Ning Fei stayed there for the entire night.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

boom!

A powerful aura emanated from the room.

The aura was thick and solid, carrying the unique pressure of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The spiritual plants in the courtyard trembled as they were affected by this aura.

Tang Yan's eyes widened in surprise, and she suddenly stood up straight.

"How strange, why is there another sound of someone successfully establishing their foundation coming from the patriarch's house?"

Lei Zheng also narrowed his eyes.

He spat out the grass stem from his mouth and stood up.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be that girl surnamed Ning who has successfully established her foundation."

He paused, then pondered, "But when I observed her aura yesterday, it was clearly still early. To reach the Foundation Establishment stage, it would take at least two or three years. How could she have reached the Foundation Establishment stage after just one night in the main house?"

Tang Yan said in a deep voice, "Our master is unfathomable."

She withdrew her gaze, her tone tinged with a touch of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and regret), "And their actions are truly unpredictable."

Lei Zheng laughed and said, "That's true."

He stroked his chin, his eyes gleaming with gossip: "Yesterday, Hu Fei and the Gu family were driven half to death by him, yet this Miss Ning has received such great fortune. Do you think it's possible that the family head has taken a liking to her?"

Tang Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and remained silent for a moment.

"If that's the case, then everything makes sense."

Inside the main hall.

The door creaked open, and Ning Fei walked out with a joyful expression.

She's a completely different person now.

Her skin had a subtle glow, and her eyes were brighter than yesterday.

His aura was condensed and did not dissipate, and the pressure of the Foundation Establishment realm was naturally revealed.

Luo Chen stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Congratulations, Miss Ning, on successfully establishing your foundation."

Ning Fei's face turned even redder.

She quickly bowed deeply.

"We have to thank Patriarch Luo for this."

He straightened up, his voice brimming with excitement: "Under normal cultivation methods, it would take at least two or three years to meet the requirements for Foundation Establishment. I never imagined that I would succeed in Foundation Establishment here. I truly don't know how to express my gratitude."

Luo Chen smiled and waved his hand.

"Miss Ning, you flatter me. I only lent a helping hand. The most important thing is your talent."

He paused, then a smile returned to his lips: "If it were those two good-for-nothings, even if you fed them three or four, it wouldn't make a difference."

Ning Fei's lips twitched again.

This Luo family head has no sense of propriety when he speaks.

Even after they've left, you still have to add a curse.

"You flatter me, Patriarch Luo."

She could only nod and smile apologetically, but she felt even more uneasy.

At this moment, what she cared about most was, of course, how Luo Chen wanted her to repay him.
