Great Harvest!

"Something's not right. Li Fei isn't the kind of person who's careless."

Enjing quickly shook her head, dismissing the guess.

The women came to their senses and felt that made sense.

From their time with Li Fei these past few days, he did not seem like a sloppy person at all.

"Could something have gone wrong during his cultivation? Could he be dead?"

"Is that the smell of a corpse?"

Xiao An nervously clenched her hands and spoke timidly.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"That definitely won't happen!"

Enjing grew anxious and glared at her.

Xiao An shrank her head back.

"Enough. Stop arguing here. We'll know once we go over and take a look," Xu Ya said.

She was the Vice Captain of the Plant Team.

The women walked over.

The closer they got, the stronger the smell became.

They could only hold their breath.

There was no concept of Meridian Cleansing and Marrow Purification in this world.

So, they had no idea this was the result of Meridian Cleansing and Marrow Purification.

"Li Fei said these Ambrosial Arbors are living beings and are connected to him."

"If something had really happened to Li Fei, these Ambrosial Arbors would definitely have withered."

"But they're still so sturdy, so Li Fei must be fine."

Enjing stretched out her slender jade hand and heavily pounded the outer wall of the Ambrosial Arbor, speaking happily.

"Then let's wait. Maybe he's researching something again..."

Only then did the women let out a sigh of relief.

Xu Ya tried to push open the wooden door, but it was incomparably hard and could not be moved at all.

They could only wait quietly outside.

Meanwhile, inside the Mongolian yurt.

Li Fei's entire body was covered in blue seawater.

After a thorough washing, the black filth had already been discharged underground through the Ambrosial Arbor, becoming nourishment for the soil.

Under the effects of the Whale Rubber Pill, Li Fei completed an initial Meridian Cleansing and Marrow Purification. He felt incomparably light, and his skin was fair as jade.

He had grown taller, his figure had improved, and he now had well-proportioned muscles that were neither too large nor too small. His appearance had also become even more handsome.

After waking up, Li Fei condensed a Water Mirror and looked at himself, feeling extremely satisfied.

"The effects of the Whale Rubber Pill are much better than I expected."

"Not only did it cleanse my meridians and marrow and improve my cultivation aptitude, it also gave me a better face and physique, made me taller, and turned my skin as fair as jade. Heh, how many women would this make jealous?"

"On top of that, it also raised my Physical Strength and increased the limit of the Soul Rings I can absorb by at least five thousand years!"

"This has completely squeezed every bit of effect out of this Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber."

"I remember that in later generations, Myriad Year Whale Rubber seemed to increase a Soul Master's limit by only around two thousand years..."

"It should have a lot to do with their crude refining methods. They wasted far too much precious Medicinal Power."

Li Fei pondered inwardly.

He clenched his fist. In terms of pure Physical Strength alone, he was already comparable to a Peak Soul Elder.

Normally, the Soul Ring absorbed by a Level 30 Soul Elder was around 1,760 years old.

The theoretical system compiled by Yu Xiaogang from the teachings of the sages still had some reference value.

Now, after being strengthened by the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, his limit had increased by five thousand years.

That meant the age of the Third Soul Ring he could absorb had risen to 6,760 years!

The Soul Ring absorption limit for a Soul Ancestor was five thousand years. In other words, by Fortieth Rank, a Soul Master's Physical Strength had reached that standard.

By making a rough calculation, his current Physical Strength was not merely at the level of a Peak Soul Elder, but around that of a Level 41 or Level 42 Soul Ancestor!

Of course, a Spirit Beast System Soul Master, a Defense System Soul Master, or a Soul Master who focused on the body might possess Physical Strength comparable to 6,760 years even as a Peak Soul Elder.

So Li Fei's estimate of Peak Soul Elder was not entirely wrong.

The key was what type of Soul Master he was being compared to.

And his current Soul Power level was Level 23 Soul Grandmaster.

Not bad. After completely extracting the Medicinal Power, the Whale Rubber Pill had not only raised the limit of his body by five thousand years, but also increased his Soul Power by a level!

Though it was only one level, it was still beyond his expectations.

After all, in later generations, Whale Rubber did not increase Soul Power. It could only strengthen the body.

So Li Fei had still made a profit.

That was the difference between refining it into a pill and consuming it directly!

Now, he was still seven levels away from Level 30 Soul Elder.

The improvement over those seven levels would also continue raising his physical power.

So next, he needed to find more Whale Rubber, or other higher-grade Medicinal Herbs, to refine into pills.

"No rush. You have to eat one bite at a time."

"If I rush too much, something might go wrong instead."

Li Fei took a deep breath and revealed a satisfied smile.

Suddenly, through the Ambrosial Arbor's perspective, he saw the Enjing Seven Women gathered outside the Mongolian yurt, their expressions seeming rather poor.

Li Fei guessed inwardly, Could something have happened?

From the looks of it, they seemed to be waiting for him.

So, he pushed the door open and walked out.

"Li Fei, you're out!"

"Great, you're fine!"

"We thought something had happened to you!"

The moment Enjing and the women saw the living, breathing Li Fei emerge, they breathed a sigh of relief and crowded around him.

"Huh... you've changed..."

"You've become better-looking and taller. Your skin is as beautiful as white jade, and your muscles are so solid..."

"It's only been a few days. How do you seem like a completely different person?"

The women carefully examined the current Li Fei. Their faces could not help turning red, and they grew shy.

They wanted to restrain themselves, but they still could not resist reaching out to pinch his muscles.

The smooth feel and his white jade-like skin made them terribly jealous.

"Ahem." Li Fei gave a dry cough.

He was only eight years old. You can't mess with me like this.

I'm an innocent little virgin.

"I'm fine. Very much alive, in fact. But you all seem so anxious. Did something happen?" Li Fei asked.

After coming to their senses, the women blushed and withdrew their hands. "Just now, we smelled a Fishy Smell coming from your Mongolian yurt. We thought you had died."

"..." Li Fei was speechless.

"Come in and talk. It isn't convenient out here."

With a wave of his hand, Li Fei led the women into the Mongolian yurt and shut the door.

As soon as they entered, they saw the simple layout inside.

But the most eye-catching object was the pill furnace in the center, half a meter tall and a meter wide.

Its color and design were particularly beautiful, and the Enjing Seven Women gathered around to inspect it.

"Li Fei, what is this?" Like curious children who had never seen the world, they kept examining the attractive pill furnace, finding it incredibly novel.

"This is a pill furnace. I made it myself, specifically for refining pills." Li Fei stood beside it and patiently introduced it.

He had gained a great deal today and was in an especially good mood, so he was more patient than usual.

"Refining pills?"

"What's that?"

The women looked confused.

At this time, their knowledge was limited.

For one thing, pills had not spread widely across Douluo Continent.

For another, people's understanding was insufficient, so they had not become widespread.

According to the current understanding on Douluo Continent,

The only things capable of improving cultivation were various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Soul Bones, Soul Beast meat, and the like.

Even Soul Tools were in a lukewarm state.

Li Fei used simple, brief words to explain what pill refining was.

Only then did the women suddenly understand.

"So pill refining was something you figured out yourself?"

"Yes."

"Wow! Li Fei, you're amazing!"

The women's eyes sparkled with stars, filled with envy, admiration, and even affection.

Li Fei, this scholar, was simply too impressive!
