Chapter 3820 Primordial Essence

After entering the Dragon King Palace, Ye Bufan took out the two Storage Rings he had snatched.

Qingxia Fairy's Storage Ring contained a surprising number of good items: various immortal spirit grasses, Artifact Refining Materials, and nearly two hundred million Immortal Crystals.

In contrast, Xiyue, as a Disciple, had much less; her Immortal Crystals were only twenty to thirty million, and her other Materials were also significantly fewer.

"She's an Immortal Lord-Ranked powerhouse, how can she be so poor!"

As Ye Bufan thought this, his gaze suddenly fell upon a small stone in the corner.

This item was about the size of an egg, entirely earthy yellow, and if not observed carefully, it looked almost identical to an ordinary stone.

However, as a Peak Immortal Lord powerhouse, she naturally wouldn't place an ordinary stone into her Storage Ring; this must have been acquired from somewhere.

With curiosity in his heart, Ye Bufan’s mind stirred, and he took the earthy yellow stone into his hand, then his expression changed dramatically.

"This… this is actually Prehistoric Essence."

First came shock, then overwhelming joy.

This item was an absolute treasure that one couldn't find even with a lantern, and he had unexpectedly obtained it by chance.

The so-called Prehistoric Essence is formed from condensed Prehistoric Energy, turning Qi into marrow.

Although he only held an egg-sized piece, the Prehistoric Energy contained within it was simply immeasurable.

This item was definitely a Heavenly Spirit Treasure, extremely rare, and countless Immortals had never even seen it; even if they did, they might not recognize what it was.

Xiyue Fairy must have obtained it from somewhere, knowing it was a good item, but she hadn't recognized what it truly was.

Otherwise, even if ordinary Immortals couldn't use it, taking it to an auction would fetch a sky-high price; for the Prehistoric Race, this was absolutely more precious than anything else.

This was understandable; Prehistoric Essence was simply too condensed, with not a trace of Prehistoric Energy overflowing, so ordinary people couldn't discern what it was.

Thinking of this, he excitedly left the Dragon King Palace and quickly brought Jin Meier inside.

"Xiao Fan, what's wrong with you?"

Jin Meier was utterly confused, not understanding what had happened.

"What do you think this is?"

Ye Bufan said, raising his hand and waving, and the Prehistoric Essence flew before her.

"This…"

Jin Meier was initially a bit surprised, wondering why he was showing her a stone.

But when she took the Prehistoric Essence into her palm, her expression immediately changed dramatically; as a Third-Rank Honghuang War General, she could naturally feel the extremely pure Prehistoric Energy.

"This… this is actually Prehistoric Essence! Where did you get it from?"

Jin Meier was overjoyed; she was currently at the Peak of the Third-Rank Honghuang War General, and she didn't know when she would Breakthrough, but with this item, countless hopes were immediately added.

After all, the most fundamental aspect of the Prehistoric Race's Cultivation is Prehistoric Energy.

"This was an unexpected surprise I got while Undergoing Tribulation this time…"

Ye Bufan briefly recounted the process.

"That's great! With Prehistoric Essence, it won't take even a year for me to Breakthrough my current Realm."

"A year is too long."

For the long-lived Prehistoric Race, breaking through to a Second-Rank Honghuang War General in a year was already unimaginably fast.

But Ye Bufan didn't think so; there wasn't enough time now, as the Yuangu Secret Realm was about to open.

Since there was an opportunity, they had to seize the time to improve their strength, the stronger the better.

"We need to hurry; it's best to complete the Breakthrough today."

Jin Meier looked troubled: "That won't work. The Prehistoric Essence has solidified the Prehistoric Energy. It will take a process to refine and absorb it. A year is already very fast."

Ye Bufan said: "It's fine, I have a way. You start Cultivating now. I'll provide you with Prehistoric Energy, and you can absorb it as fast as you can."

The second Legacy of the Ancient Medical Sect had detailed records regarding Prehistoric Essence; normal absorption would certainly be very slow.

But there wasn't no solution; that was to refine it with a unique fire, and he just happened to have the Heavenly Heart Fire in his hand.

Jin Meier sat cross-legged, and Ye Bufan raised his hand and waved, a ball of green flame appeared in mid-air, enveloping the Prehistoric Essence.

Unique fires are divided into seven Ranks: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Although the green Heavenly Heart Fire was not the strongest, it had reached the Medium Grade Rank.

Under its scorching, the originally incredibly hard Prehistoric Essence slowly softened like butter, then transformed into pure Prehistoric Energy.

Ye Bufan was the master of this Small World, and under his control, the refined Prehistoric Energy did not overflow at all, but instead completely enveloped Jin Meier.

About a quarter of an hour later, the originally egg-sized Prehistoric Essence completely vaporized.

Jin Meier circulated the Prehistoric Race's Cultivation Technique, rapidly absorbing the Prehistoric Energy, and her entire Aura also began to slowly rise.

Compared to what was previously estimated, the current speed was much faster; it would take about three to five days to completely absorb and transform.

But Ye Bufan couldn't wait; the Hundred Sects Tournament was about to begin, and he had to absorb and refine this Prehistoric Energy as quickly as possible.

The best way to accelerate Cultivation was through Dual Cultivation. Chaos gives birth to all things, and with his Chaos Immortal Essence, he was compatible with any Cultivation Technique, including those of the Prehistoric Race.

Next, the dense Prehistoric Energy completely enveloped the two figures. With Ye Bufan's participation, the speed of absorption and refining suddenly increased.

About ten hours later, the pale yellow Qi mass that had previously enveloped them became increasingly faint, eventually disappearing completely.

At this moment, Jin Meier's Aura was also countless times stronger than before, having clearly stepped into the Second-Rank Honghuang War General.

Ye Bufan shook his head slightly; the effect was still a bit less than expected.

This piece of Prehistoric Essence was ultimately a bit too small, only allowing her to enter the Early Stage of the Honghuang War General.

Jin Meier, however, was filled with joy; her current strength was already comparable to an Early Stage Immortal Venerable, much stronger than anticipated.

Looking back, how long had it been since her Ascension? To have reached a Second-Rank Honghuang War General so quickly was probably unprecedented in the history of the Prehistoric Race.

The reason she could possess all of this, and have such terrifying Cultivation speed, was entirely because of the man before her.

"Xiao Fan, thank you."

Jin Meier's beautiful eyes looked at Ye Bufan, and she kissed him deeply. Afterward, Dragon King Island was once again filled with boundless spring light.

Two hours later, they were dressed again and left the Dragon King Palace to return to the inn.

It was now early morning on the second day. As Ye Bufan pushed open his door, he found Fairy Chixia waiting at the entrance, a hint of anxiety in her expression.

This made him a bit surprised: "Elder Chixia, is something wrong?"

Fairy Chixia had been waiting at the door for several hours, afraid of disturbing his secluded Cultivation.

Upon seeing him, she immediately said: "Divine Doctor Ye, the situation with the Hundred Sects Tournament has changed. You need to prepare early."

Hearing that it was about the competition, Ye Bufan actually relaxed.

He had already secured a spot to enter the Yuangu Secret Realm, and he didn't care much about the final ranking.

"Elder, what's the change?"

Fairy Chixia said: "It's like this: recently, the energy fluctuations in the Yuangu Secret Realm have become increasingly frequent, much faster than expected. According to Wu Huo Daojun's estimation, it might open tomorrow, so the Hundred Sects Tournament needs to be accelerated, with all matches completed today."
