Chapter 3985 Immortal Emperor Late Stage

“Is he giving himself a Medicinal Pill? What kind of Medicinal Pill is this?”

Hua Qiqi still had her eyes closed, countless questions popping up in her mind, but they were quickly overwhelmed by shock.

After taking the Medicinal Pill, her Immortal Essence surged wildly as if injected with a stimulant, and her cultivation continued to climb.

Once cultivation reaches the Immortal Emperor Rank, ordinary Medicinal Pills no longer have much effect.

But this Medicinal Pill was clearly extremely special; for so many years, she had never taken an Immortal Pill with such good efficacy.

Then, realizing that Opportunity knocks but once and must not be wasted, she began to calm her mind, circulate her Immortal Essence, and accelerate the improvement of her strength.

Ye Bufan stood beside her, quietly watching the woman in front of him.

What he had just taken out was precisely the Divine Essence Pill, the one he obtained after slaying Shi Kai.

A Medicinal Pill refined from an Immortal Emperor Late Stage Primordial Spirit, its potency was imaginable.

Just now, Hua Qiqi had thought of him in every way, which deeply moved him. Although he didn't want to get involved in her vortex, he also didn't want her to be in danger again.

After careful consideration, he decided to help her improve her strength. No matter what, she was a good woman, and from a man's perspective, he had just taken advantage of her and had intimate contact.

So he took out this Divine Essence Pill. As long as he helped her raise her cultivation to the Immortal Emperor Late Stage, the probability of her encountering further risk would be greatly reduced, as strength dictates everything in this world.

However, facing an Eleventh-Order Celestial Alchemist, he didn't want her to see the appearance of the Divine Essence Pill, otherwise, it would be easy to identify it as a product of the Demon Refining Bottle, which led to the previous scene.

If Hua Qiqi had doubts in her heart, didn't dare to close her eyes, or refused to take his Medicinal Pill, then there would be no way; it could only be said that the Opportunity was not there.

The result was that she took the Divine Essence Pill without any hesitation.

As time passed, the Aura on Hua Qiqi grew stronger and stronger, and her cultivation continued to climb, but she was always just a hair's breadth away from entering the Immortal Emperor Late Stage, unable to Breakthrough.

“It seems it's still a little short.”

To help someone completely, Ye Bufan also took out the Immortal Emperor Early Stage Divine Essence Pill refined from the Middle-aged Man and put it into her mouth.

With his current cultivation, if he took these two Medicinal Pills himself, he could only advance from Immortal Venerable Early Stage to Middle Stage, which wouldn't greatly help his strength.

However, giving them to her allowed her to cross a Rank, which seemed quite worthwhile.

Hua Qiqi was already on the verge of Breakthrough, and now, with the additional boost from another Divine Essence Pill, the Immortal Essence within her instantly broke through the Immortal Emperor middle stage threshold and entered the Late Stage.

“This…”

Feeling her own power, Hua Qiqi's face was filled with astonishment.

As an Immortal Emperor expert and an Eleventh-Order Celestial Alchemist, she naturally knew how difficult it was to improve strength through Medicinal Pills, and how challenging it was to cross from Immortal Emperor middle stage to Late Stage.

Many people spend their entire lives taking countless Medicinal Pills, only to stop at the Immortal Emperor middle stage, yet she had directly crossed this Bottleneck with just two Medicinal Pills.

The most crucial thing was that this type of Medicinal Pill always gave her a very special feeling; if asked what was different, she couldn't pinpoint it.

“Master, thank you!”

Hua Qiqi looked at Ye Bufan, her eyes filled with gratitude.

“It's nothing. Since you call me Master, it's only right that I help you,” Ye Bufan said. “If your strength is greater, you'll be safer. After breaking through to Immortal Emperor Late Stage, even if you encounter Shi Kai again, you'll have a chance to escape even if you can't defeat him, rather than just surrendering.”

“Thank you, Master!”

Hua Qiqi felt her recently calmed heart shatter again, her heart instantly filled with emotion, and her nose felt a little sore, as if tears could well up at any moment.

She knew very well that the two Medicinal Pills she had just taken were absolutely priceless treasures, yet her Master had given them to her so casually, without expecting any reward.

This kind of kindness could not be expressed in words; it could only be silently remembered in her heart.

Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down and tried to hold back her tears.

“Master, can you tell me what kind of Medicinal Pill that was?”

Suppressing the emotion in her heart, what remained was curiosity. As an Alchemist, she truly wanted to know what kind of Medicinal Pill it was.

The Demon Refining Bottle was Ye Bufan's biggest secret. It could be said that this chaotic spiritual treasure had played an indispensable role in his rapid advancement to this day.

Although he had a good impression of the woman in front of him, he still couldn't reveal such a thing, especially since he hadn't yet figured out her identity.

But since she asked, it wouldn't be good to say nothing at all, as that would only arouse more suspicion.

Ye Bufan's expression instantly became serious. “There are some things I didn't want to say, but since you asked, it's hard to hide.

These two Medicinal Pills are relics my Master left me before his death. He told me that if I took them at the most difficult moment of my cultivation Breakthrough, they would have unexpected effects.

Also, if I met a woman I liked, I could give them to her.

What exactly these Medicinal Pills are, or what they are called, I don't know, my Master didn't say.”

Ye Bufan's words were watertight, directly attributing the secret of the Divine Essence Pill to the non-existent Master.

He knew this woman's dedication to Alchemy. While his other matters were easy to gloss over, the Medicinal Pill aspect was not so simple.

So he also made a joke to divert her attention.

It proved to be very effective. Hearing Ye Bufan say that he would give the Medicinal Pill to a woman he liked, Hua Qiqi's cheeks instantly flushed.

Her entire being was filled with infinite shyness; at this moment, she no longer cared about pursuing what the remaining Medicinal Pills were.

“Master, you're joking again.”

At this moment, Hua Qiqi's voice was sweet and charming, with a hint of shyness.

“You gave me such precious Medicinal Pills, how can I repay you?”

Ye Bufan really wanted to say, 'Then you can give yourself to me,' but seeing the woman's appearance, if he said it, she might actually do it.

Although he had a good impression, he still hadn't figured out Hua Qiqi's identity, and she hadn't explained it to him either. It was still necessary to maintain a certain distance, and jokes should be kept in moderation.

“I already said it's nothing. You call me Master, so it's only right that I give you two Medicinal Pills.”

“Oh!”

Hua Qiqi nodded. She usually spent all her thoughts on the Dao of Alchemy and knew nothing about matters between men and women, not even as much as a novice.

She just felt her mind was very chaotic, with feelings of loss, gratitude, and many other indescribable emotions mixed in.

At this moment, she just wanted to leave quickly, calm down, and figure out what was wrong with her.

“Master, in that case, I'll take my leave now. We'll meet again if fate allows.”

After speaking, she fled the cave as if escaping, transforming into a stream of light and speeding forward.

With her cultivation having risen to Immortal Emperor Late Stage, her speed was significantly faster than before, and in a blink of an eye, she vanished into the Void Realm.

Ye Bufan's most important task now was to go to the Alchemist Guild to obtain an Alchemist badge. At this time, he truly didn't want to provoke the Lingxiao Sect.

So he didn't rush to leave; instead, he stayed in the Dragon King Palace to help Shen Qiyun and Luo Bingyan improve their strength.

Leng Qingqiu's Foundation was also almost stable after her Breakthrough. He gave her the remaining Divine Essence Pills from the Immortal Venerable experts, raising her strength to Immortal Venerable Peak in one go.

This was all he could help her with. If she wanted to break through to Immortal Emperor, she could only rely on unsealing the First Sword Immortal's Legacy Seal. Two days later, he left the Dragon King Palace and headed to Lingxiao City again.
