In the Hua Household's council hall, half the people looked at Hua Youyue with shock and envy in their eyes, while the other half were completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
Yang Zhen held something that looked like a cucumber in his hand. The sound of Yang Zhen eating it was crisp and delicious, and it seemed to leave a fragrant aftertaste. But why were all these people so nervous? One by one, even the respected elders were losing their composure.
Could this unassuming cucumber be more precious than the Seven-Star Spirit Awakening Pill?
Upon hearing Xiao Ji's question, everyone turned their attention to the Grand Preceptor of the Great Jiang Kingdom.
The Grand Preceptor of the Great Jiang Kingdom squinted, then opened his eyes and looked around. His eyes suddenly widened, all sleepiness gone. He opened his mouth to speak, but the Third Elder suddenly cried out in surprise and jumped up from his seat.
"Quickly, Youyue, open your mouth! That's... Heavens, that's the Holy Spirit Root!"
"What?" Hua Youyue's expression changed drastically as she stared in disbelief at the 'cucumber' in front of her Yang Zhen had taken a few bites from it, and the clean teeth marks were still on it, with some juice seeping out. She didn't know if it was the juice from the Holy Spirit Root or Yang Zhen's saliva.
However, this was actually the legendary Holy Spirit Root, a sacred object for spiritual enlightenment that countless people dreamed of, and Yang Zhen just ate more than half of it.
Everyone stared at Yang Zhen Yang Zhen unfriendly expressions, wishing they could pounce on him and snatch the Holy Spirit Root from his hands.
What a waste! Yang Zhen, that bastard, is as wasteful as ever. He actually eats such precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures like cucumbers?
Wow!
The council chamber erupted in commotion once more. Those who knew about the Holy Spirit Root were astonished, while those who did not inquired everywhere. Upon hearing about the effects of the Holy Spirit Root Holy Spirit Root, they all gasped in surprise.
The Holy Spirit Root legendary heavenly materials and earthly treasures that is said to be the only one that can allow those below the Nascent Soul Realm to open their Spirit Sea and awaken their Divine Sense without any pain. It is a sacred object that countless people dream of, and many have spent huge sums of money but still cannot buy it.
Yang Zhen... ate so much!
The Elder Yao's lips twitched with heartache, while the third clan elder clutched his chest and sat back down, groaning.
Seeing that Hua Youyue seemed stunned, Yang Zhen pursed his lips, stuffed the Holy Spirit Root into his mouth, and prepared to take another bite.
Two jade-like hands suddenly reached out, grabbed Yang Zhen's wrists, and pulled hard, taking the rest of the Holy Spirit Root into their mouths. Because they were inserted so deeply, even two of Yang Zhen's fingers were inserted into their mouths.
Snap!
Yang Zhen cried out in pain and pulled her finger back.
This woman is ruthless! She swallowed something this long in one go?
Yang Zhen stared at Hua Youyue in disbelief, muttering to himself, "So deep!"
Hua Youyue almost choked, her jade-like face turning red with embarrassment as she turned her head away, then suddenly her expression froze.
boom!
A terrifying surge of energy erupted from Hua Youyue, startling everyone.
Hua Youyue's expression also changed, and she hurriedly sat cross-legged. Suddenly, a misty, hazy aura condensed above her head.
Rumble!
A terrifying shockwave erupted, surging like thunder above Hua Youyue's head.
A moment later, Hua Youyue opened her eyes, stood up with a strange expression, and stared blankly at Yang Zhen, saying, "Thank you!"
"How did it go? Was it successful?" Elder Yao leaned close to Hua Youyue and asked anxiously.
Yang Zhen had gnawed away most of the Holy Spirit Root, and no one knew whether the effect would still allow Hua Youyue to successfully open her Spirit Sea.
Buzz!
A gentle, wind-like ripple swept through the entire council hall, and everyone's faces turned to horror.
" Divine Sense power, this is indeed Divine Sense power!"
"My goodness, how old Tower Master Hua? He has already opened up his Spirit Sea and activated his Divine Sense sense."
Everyone stared at Hua Youyue in disbelief, but when they turned their gaze to Yang Zhen, they became frenzied.
How many good things does Yang Zhen still possess?
The Grand Preceptor of the Great Jiang Kingdom gave Yang Zhen a deep look, then glanced at the dejected Xiao Ji, shook his head, sighed, and closed his eyes again.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Ji's expression changed again. He stared at Yang Zhen with a gloomy expression, all traces of his usual calm and confident demeanor gone.
Are you kidding me?
He took out Heavenly Spring Dew, and Yang Zhen took out a jar of Colorful Cloud Dew. He took out a Seven-Star Spirit Awakening Pill, taking advantage of Yang Zhen's lack of knowledge of the Alchemist's seniority. But in the blink of an eye, Yang Zhen took out a Holy Spirit Root, which he crunched away.
Snap... Snap...
Strange sounds rang out again, causing everyone's hearts to skip a beat. They instantly turned to look at Yang Zhen, their eyes twitching in unison.
Yang Zhen was holding an enormous, lingzhi-shaped object, as big as a washbasin, and was crunching on it, muttering indistinctly, "Not bad, it actually worked..."
"Shut up! Shut up now!"
While everyone was still in a daze, the Third Elder jumped up from his seat again, looking at Yang Zhen with a face full of joy and heartache. His hands trembled as he said, "Young friend Yang, please have mercy on your words. Is that the Jade Lingzhi in your hand?"
"What?" Hua Jingshan's expression changed, and he looked at the Third Elder with a strange expression, asking, " The Jade Lingzhi is formed over a thousand years, shaped like a lingzhi mushroom but with the properties of jade, ranging in size from a thumb to a palm. But Yang Zhen's... such a large piece, is it really Jade Lingzhi?"
The implication is, "Are you senile? Where would you find such a large Jade Lingzhi?"
The three elders seemed not to have heard Hua Jingshan's words. They walked shakily to Yang Zhen's side, their eyes gleaming with wild joy, whether from excitement or simply because they were nearing the end of their lives, it was hard to tell. They repeatedly said:
"That's it, that's it, it's definitely the Jade Lingzhi! I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime Jade Lingzhi! Young friend Yang, could you... could you part with it...? Don't worry, I only need a piece the size of my palm!"
Everyone gasped, staring at the three elders in horror.
The usually stubborn and domineering Third Elder had never shown such an attitude in front of others, which shows how important the Jade Lingzhi was to her.
Everyone stared at Yang Zhen in disbelief. Given the status of the Third Elder in the Hua Household, if she spoke up, almost no one would object to Yang Zhen breaking up the marriage.
The reason the Hua Household agreed to consider this marriage was simply because they needed the support of the Grand Preceptor of the Great Jiang Kingdom. Now that Yang Zhen casually took out something so precious, let alone stopping this marriage, even if he personally proposed, the Hua Household might immediately agree.
Who knows how many good things are still inside Yang Zhen's ring?
Yang Zhen stopped eating, tilted her head, and said, "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Could you say it again?"
"I'm asking if you could..."
"Burp!" Yang Zhen let out a loud burp.
Buzz!
A terrifying aura rose from Yang Zhen's Yang Zhen, causing him to shudder. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sorry, I couldn't control myself and broke through all at once."
Suddenly... a breakthrough?
Everyone looked bewildered, but upon closer inspection of Yang Zhen's aura, they realized he had indeed broken through to the Golden Core Realm.
For some reason, everyone present felt like cursing.
Others spend countless hours and prepare countless materials to condense their essence into a pill, and they also have to worry about the backlash of their True Essence if they fail.
Yang Zhen, on the other hand, kept eating and eating, and after letting out a burp, he actually broke through, condensing his essence into a core, and became Golden Core Realm cultivator.
Just how high is this kid's innate Spirit Root?
The three elders' lips twitched, but they couldn't muster any anger at being interrupted by Yang Zhen's impetuous burp. They chuckled awkwardly and said, "Young friend Yang is indeed a prodigy. I wonder..."
Yang Zhen waved his hand. "Want the Jade Lingzhi? No problem, just learn to sing a song with me and I'll give you one. How about it?"
This old man speaks in a sarcastic, mocking way, but now that he's seen something good, he's all groveling and begging. Want it?
No way!
