To be precise, outsiders don’t know the existence of the Fifth grade merit body refining pill, and they don’t even know the name. However, there is no doubt that the matter was caused by the fifth grade merit body refining pill.

Yang Chen didn’t have many merit-body refining pills. The palace master, the seven elders of the Pure Yang Palace, the old tree monster, Hou Yun, She Kui, Xie Sha, Hua Mengyou, Shangguan Feng, one for Wang Yuan and one for Du Qian, plus two for Mrs. Fanghua, for a total of eighteen. Of course, there are still a few pills in Yang Chen’s hand, but these things will not be taken out easily. Without that kind of friendship, why give them the body refining pills that have consumed Yang Chen’s huge amount of merit?

After so many years, the fifth grade merit body refining pills began to take effect slowly, and the obvious sign was that the speed of these people’s cultivation began to speed up, and the cultivation of certain cultivation methods seemed to become easier. At first, everyone didn’t pay attention, but when the effect was very obvious, someone finally noticed the change. It is definitely impossible for the innate spiritual root to cause this kind of change, so only the postnatal spiritual root was suspected.

Wang Yuan was the one who realized this, so he inadvertently checked with the five-colored stone, and suddenly found that his acquired spiritual root had unknowingly increased by at least fifteen. Looking at the result, Wang Yuan was stunned on the spot, but the people who saw it by accident were also shocked.

No one thought that the acquired spirit root could change like this. Immediately, the onlookers, who were from the Pure Yang Palace, immediately began to ask Wang Yuan for advice on how to improve the postnatal spiritual root. As a result, their voices were a little louder, and they were immediately heard by some other people.

The news spread almost instantly, knowing that the postnatal spiritual root can improve, except for those geniuses such as Shi Shanshan, Gao Yue and Gongsun Ling, who had a full Innate and acquired spiritual roots, almost all the cultivators went crazy. Who doesn’t understand what it means to have a better spiritual root, and immediately, countless people flocked to the Pure Yang Palace.

Of course, the Pure Yang Palace didn’t understand why at this time, so the master of the palace asked someone to protect Wang Yuan first. Then everyone got together and discussed in detail what happened to cause the growth of the acquired spiritual root. 

After much deliberation, Wang Yuan couldn’t think of the reason for the growth of his postnatal spiritual root. The only explanation was that Yang Chen forced him to take the fifth grade merit body refining pill on the spot. When Wang Yuan said this, the headmaster and other elders were also stunned. Afterwards, they immediately checked with multicolored stones, and the result was naturally beyond everyone’s expectations. Everyone’s postnatal spiritual roots were all growing.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the headmaster and elders as surprises. They themselves know their own aptitude, they are incomparable with those talented freaks in cultivation. They thought that as long as they could bring the Pure Yang Palace to the highest peak in their lifetime, it would be an achievement in this life, but they didn’t expect that they would also have the opportunity to step into the ranks of those geniuses.

Is the gap between idiots and geniuses now able to be pulled in or even raised to the same level in some way? Those cultivators who are troubled by their poor aptitude finally saw a glimmer of light, and saw the hope that they too, could become geniuses. Even if it’s just an insignificant trace, it’s better than nothing, isn’t it?

Everyone understands what it means to be able to improve the postnatal spiritual root, so the matter is so important, the high-level officials of the Pure Yang Palace immediately kept silent, and those who had taken Yang Chen’s pills also silently shut their mouths.

Although the high-level kept it secret, the news inevitably spread. Even Mrs. Fanghua, who is far away in the demon sect, knows about it. After checking, Mrs. Fanghua could hardly believe her eyes. When did her postnatal spiritual root almost reach full value? Apart from the two pills given by Yang Chen, there was almost no other explanation.

The matter of the day after tomorrow’s spiritual root promotion is really too big, and the Pure Yang Palace does not admit it, but no one can stop others from guessing. Why didn’t other sects have people with elevated spiritual roots, only the Pure Yang Palace had them? In addition, Yang Chen released the news about the postnatal spiritual root before, and everyone agreed that the Pure Yang Palace or Yang Chen must have found a way to improve the postnatal spiritual root.

Yang Chen has been retreating, so no one could ask Yang Chen for confirmation. Even if they are the master of the palace, they just know that Yang Chen must have mastered the method. But it was also impossible to get definite news from Yang Chen. Therefore, the Pure Yang Palace has always been silent about the speculation from the outside world.

But this does not prevent other people from guessing, more and more people came to the Pure Yang Palace to inquire about the news. In the beginning, they were just some insignificant little people, those who could be ignored by the Pure Yang Palace, but later, the limelight intensified, and finally even the people of the five major sects were alarmed.

Of course, the current Pure Yang Palace is no longer the previous Pure Yang Palace. If it was before, when people from the five major sects came to the door, they would definitely ask questions directly, assuming a questioning posture. But now, the representatives of the five major sects are just chatting with the palace master very gently, as if they are old friends who haven’t seen each other for many years, revealing a feeling that they are one people. But they never mentioned the method of improving the postnatal spiritual root.

Presumably they also know that this matter must be related to Yang Chen, Yang Chen is now retreating with his wives and concubines, they dare not disturb Yang Chen’s retreat easily. If it is self-defeating, it will be the sinner of the sect. The only thing to do is to establish a good relationship with the Pure Yang Palace, and absolutely not let Yang Chen have any opinions on the five major sects, everything will be discussed after Yang Chen leaves the seclusion.

What people are looking forward to most now is Yang Chen’s exit. If possible, this time people from the five major sects even have the intention to talk to the Pure Yang Palace and give Yang Chen to their sect. This kind of thing is not unheard of, even the alchemist Deng Yiya, who is second only to Yang Chen now, was a disciple of the Heavenly Lake Sect, and now has transferred to the Pill Cauldron Sect. 

Yang Chen’s family doesn’t know anything about the outside world, they are indeed seriously retreating now. Tao Junqi and the others were working hard to absorb and refine the spiritual power of the Immortal peach that everyone got back then. Although that peach is not a genuine one, it can provide the girls with ten years of spiritual power. Although not as effective as Yang Chen’s Immortal peach, but it is more or less good for replenishing life essence.

As for Gao Yue, with the help of Yang Chen and Gongsun Ling, she slowly began to absorb the Qi of the Three Emperors, and when the absorption was completed, it will be the day when she leaves seclusion.
