Ye Tian looked at the trembling figure before him, shaking with rage.

He was rather relieved.

He had successfully glossed over the important parts.

With an awkward laugh, Ye Tian said softly, "Teacher, you could actually try chopping a couple of times."

"Chop a couple of times? Where? On you?"

Bibi Dong lowered her cold gaze, strands of killing intent leaking out as she became eager to try.

"Of course not!"

Ye Tian hurriedly shook his head.

But in the end, he accidentally rammed his head into Bibi Dong several more times.

"Ah, damn it!"

Amid Ye Tian's cry of pain,

Bibi Dong directly let go of him and tossed him onto the ground, her expression dark.

Her head had struck Ye Tian's too.

It did not hurt,

but it felt like a mosquito bite had raised a bump—extremely uncomfortable.

"Teacher, you can't chop me up."

"I have medicine here. Your medicine mustn't stop—that would be best!"

As Ye Tian spoke, he quickly sat up.

He raised his head and looked at Bibi Dong.

The moment he met those furious eyes, Ye Tian shuddered.

Thinking back,

he only then belatedly realized

that he seemed to have swung his head around and slapped her several times just now!

Master and disciple stared at each other for a moment.

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, looked at Ye Tian, and gritted out, "We'll do as you said. One Gold Soul Coin per Pill. I won't ask for too much—give me ten every day."

"No problem. Of course there's no problem."

Ye Tian nodded repeatedly.

He was making a profit from this—an enormous profit.

It was practically a business without any costs. What was Soul Power worth? It would recover after being used. Besides, Bibi Dong had even helped him set up this operation.

Without eating or sleeping,

he could produce at least two hundred a day.

It was only ten Pills.

Even if Bibi Dong had simply demanded them, he would definitely have been willing to provide them for free every day.

Of course,

having money was better than having none. Worst case, he could double Bibi Dong's share every day!

"I'm not finished. That's only the current price. From now on, every time you obtain a Soul Ring, add five more Pills to my daily allotment."

"The price remains the same—ten Gold Soul Coins per day. How about it?"

Bibi Dong naturally knew Ye Tian was making a huge profit.

But looking further ahead, over time, her gains would be considerable as well.

"Deal!"

Ye Tian agreed without a second thought.

A fixed income of three hundred Gold Soul Coins every month was already quite generous.

And once his Soul Power increased,

the number of Marrow Cleansing Pills he could make each day would naturally exceed just five additional Pills.

"Hmph! Rest where you are."

Bibi Dong stopped making things difficult for Ye Tian. She directly sat cross-legged on the spot and instructed him,

"Go gather some firewood."

"Alright."

Ye Tian nodded.

This was the Star Dou Great Forest. Dry wood was everywhere, so he did not need to go far.

Very soon,

Ye Tian returned with some.

Bibi Dong lit a campfire in the clearing.

Other than the crackling of dry wood, there was no other sound in the air.

Bibi Dong fed the Marrow Cleansing Pills into her pursed lips one by one. A continuous comfort spread through her body, and she seemed to become more energized.

The lightness in her body lasted for several breaths,

then abruptly came to a halt.

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow. Once the Pills stopped, the pleasure dropped to zero.

Other than her Soul Power and physical strength feeling more abundant,

that brief, transcendent pleasure seemed never to have happened, leaving no changes in her body.

"It's utterly insufficient."

Bibi Dong knitted her beautiful brows, suddenly regretting that she had asked for too few.

At this rate,

would it not take three to five years before she could see any results?

Even Ye Tian was no exception.

But when Bibi Dong raised her eyes to look, she froze. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and the regret in her heart reached its peak!

She had apparently underestimated Ye Tian's pill-making ability.

She had suffered a huge loss!

That brat Ye Tian was practically deceiving his teacher and betraying his ancestors.

For the entire night,

the more Bibi Dong thought about it, the angrier she became, and she never closed her eyes.

Because during these nearly six hours,

Ye Tian went back and forth, producing no fewer than fifty Marrow Cleansing Pills.

After consuming them,

Ye Tian immediately meditated and cultivated. Once his Soul Power recovered to near saturation,

he used his First Soul Skill to drain himself dry!

He opened his mouth and swallowed one,

then continued meditating and cultivating, repeating the cycle.

Ye Tian sat cross-legged opposite Bibi Dong, immersed in the pleasure of leveling up and unable to pull himself away.

Not until dawn was near

did Bibi Dong close her eyes and lightly doze for half an hour.

Fortunately, this was already the outermost edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The firelight alone was enough to frighten away Spirit Beasts.

Morning light pierced through layers of tree canopies, its chilly beams falling upon the clearing.

Ye Tian opened his eyes.

Having finally restored his Soul Power to saturation, he casually used his First Soul Skill several times.

There was no point keeping unused Soul Power around anyway.

It was better to turn it into something tangible.

Holding three Marrow Cleansing Pills, Ye Tian popped them into his mouth like breakfast.

Bibi Dong's eyelids twitched as she said emotionlessly, "Alright, it's time to go. The carriage should have arrived too."

"Got it, Teacher."

Ye Tian hastily covered the glowing coals with dirt, then strode after Bibi Dong. Poking his head forward and extending his hand, he offered her three Marrow Cleansing Pills.

"Teacher, have some for breakfast."

"..."

The two walked toward the rising sun in silence.

After a long time,

Bibi Dong bent down and took the Marrow Cleansing Pills Ye Tian had been about to take back, then irritably pushed his head.

Ye Tian couldn't help laughing.

Even under Bibi Dong's cold downward gaze, he did not panic and asked with a smile,

"Teacher, did you bring anything like bottles and jars?"

"Take it."

Bibi Dong casually tossed out a glass jar and swallowed the Marrow Cleansing Pills.

From time to time, sounds rang out beside them.

Clink, clink.

Purple-Black Pills were slowly dropped into the transparent glass jar one by one.

Before long,

Ye Tian and Bibi Dong boarded the carriage they had arrived in and returned to Spirit City.

Clink, clink.

Sounds occasionally rang out from inside the carriage.

--

The morning sun grew increasingly fierce.

By the time Ye Tian and Bibi Dong returned to Spirit City, it was nearly noon.

Just as Bibi Dong was about to step out of the carriage,

she stopped and could not help frowning.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Ye Tian nearly crashed into her curvy backside. Holding the jar in his arms, his face went pale.

Then Bibi Dong's voice sounded beside his ear.

"Elder Ju, is something the matter?"

"Saintess, His Majesty wishes to see you and your disciple."

A soft, elegant male voice came from outside.

Ye Tian squeezed out of the carriage beside Bibi Dong, only then seeing the bewitching Ju Douluo before him.

It appeared that he had been deliberately waiting here for them.

"Eh!"

Before Ye Tian could react, his legs were already dangling in midair.

Bibi Dong carried Ye Tian by the collar and said casually,

"Then let's go."

"Your Highness, this way."

Ju Douluo elegantly bent slightly at the waist and extended a hand, clearing the path ahead.

With a whoosh,

Bibi Dong shot forward, gliding through the air as if floating.

Ju Douluo was not slow either.

He remained not far behind Bibi Dong the entire time.

They traveled without speaking. Having just returned to Spirit City, Bibi Dong was cold all over. The closer they came to the Pope's Palace, the more obvious her disgust became.

"..."

Ye Tian did not dare say anything, lest he provoke her.

If Bibi Dong took her anger out on him,

even nine lives would not be enough for her to kill.

The Pope's Palace stood halfway up the Central Divine Mountain.

At Bibi Dong's speed, a quarter of an hour was more than enough.

This was Ye Tian's first time here.

Looking at the resplendent, magnificent building before him, grand as an imperial palace,

his eyes were filled with amazement.

Have a pleasant life, everyone!
