184: The eighth level of the Divine Realm

Zhou Yunxi felt extremely shocked by Yang Lingchen's Combat Power.

For so many years, this was the first time she had seen someone with a God Entry Realm cultivation level cleanly and efficiently take down a group of Divine Origin Realm Cultivators.

One had to know that after the God Entry Realm, every minor Realm had an insurmountable chasm like a natural barrier between them. Let alone the God Entry Realm seventh layer taking on the Divine Origin Realm; she had simply never heard of or seen such Heaven-Defying Combat Power.

"Zhou Yunxi, rest assured. In the future, this Disciple will definitely be cautious and keep a low profile." Yang Lingchen put on an extremely obedient and well-behaved appearance.

"By the way, being able to defeat so many Divine Origin Realm Cultivators proves that your Cross-Rank Challenge ability is extraordinarily strong. There is only one and a half months left until the Outer Court Grand Competition. I hope you can achieve an outstanding ranking so that I, as your Zhou Yunxi, will also have some glory." Zhou Yunxi said earnestly.

"Outer Court Grand Competition! Are there any tempting rewards?" Yang Lingchen asked with great interest. In truth, he did not have much intense interest in activities like these Grand Competitions.

"Of course there are rewards. The first place winner of the Outer Court Grand Competition can obtain a divine origin fruit. A Cultivator at the God Entry Realm ninth layer who consumes it can directly and smoothly achieve a Breakthrough to the Divine Origin Realm." Zhou Yunxi said unhurriedly.

"Zhou Yunxi, please rest assured. Even without any generous rewards, this Disciple will go all out to secure a top ranking for you." Yang Lingchen declared righteously and solemnly.

"Zhou Yunxi looks forward to your brilliant performance. If you have any matters, you can come to find me at any time." Zhou Yunxi said, a warm smile like a spring breeze appearing on her face.

"Thank you, Zhou Yunxi!"

Bidding farewell to Zhou Yunxi, Yang Lingchen hurried all the way towards the Merit Hall. The most urgent task was to first complete missions to earn contribution points, and then improve his cultivation level.

The Merit Hall was an important place in Great Yan Academy specifically for issuing missions.

Here, an endless stream of people came every day to issue missions. There were missions issued solemnly by the Academy, and missions issued privately by individuals. The rewards were settled in either contribution points or spirit crystals.

"Little Fellow, are you sure you want to take these Alchemy missions?" After seeing Yang Lingchen continuously accept several missions for divine origin pills and God Entry pills, an elderly man with white hair and beard in the Merit Hall suddenly lost his composure.

It was mainly because Yang Lingchen looked far too young; no matter how one looked at it, he did not seem like an expert capable of refining divine origin pills.

This elderly man with a white beard was none other than Yuwen Cheng, the Hall Master of the Great Yan Academy's Merit Hall.

"Senior, can this Alchemy mission not be accepted?" Yang Lingchen asked respectfully.

"It can be accepted, but if you take the Materials back and fail to refine the Medicinal Pill, you will have to bear the cost of the Materials personally." After checking Yang Lingchen's Identity Token, Yuwen Cheng reminded him out of kindness.

Because he truly dared not easily believe that a new student would actually know how to refine God Entry pills. One had to know that most of these Alchemy missions were only taken on by veteran Alchemists from the Alchemy Institute.

"Thank you for your kind reminder, Senior. If I cannot refine them, this Junior will naturally be willing to bear the loss of the Materials." Yang Lingchen cupped his fists in a salute, his attitude sincere.

"Very well. You should first take two missions. Once you have completed them to Perfection, it will not be too late to take the other Alchemy missions." Yuwen Cheng said after careful consideration.

"That works too." Since the other party had concerns, Yang Lingchen could only accept two Advanced God Entry pill missions first.

After accepting the missions, Yang Lingchen hurried back to his dormitory without stopping, and then began Alchemy with full concentration.

The Alchemy missions provided four portions of Materials, but only one furnace needed to be refined to complete the mission. After all, Alchemists could not guarantee a one hundred percent success rate, so Alchemy missions basically always provided four portions of Materials.

Yang Lingchen had accepted two missions from the Merit Hall, which meant he received Materials for eight furnaces of Medicinal Pills. With his superb Alchemy techniques, the other six portions of Materials were pure profit.

Before long, Yang Lingchen had smoothly refined eight furnaces of supreme grade God Entry pills.

After the Medicinal Pills were out of the furnace, he did not rush to submit the missions. Because he had six extra furnaces of supreme grade God Entry pills, he could use them to achieve a Breakthrough to the God Entry Realm eighth layer.

Materials for God Entry pills and above were extremely rare. Originally, Yang Lingchen had been racking his brain thinking about how to earn contribution points to exchange for Alchemy Materials.

Now he had suddenly discovered an excellent business opportunity, which was to issue a large number of Alchemy missions, letting others come to him for Alchemy. This way, he could obtain Materials for free and also earn contribution points. It was simply a wonderful thing that killed two birds with one stone.

Discarding all complicated distracting thoughts, Yang Lingchen sat cross-legged, took out the six extra furnaces of Medicinal Pills, and began to slowly refine them.

As each God Entry pill was refined by him, the Spiritual Qi within his body quickly condensed into divine origin like a surging tide.

In less than a quarter of an hour, his cultivation level had reached the Peak of the God Entry Realm seventh layer. At this moment, he only had the last furnace of God Entry pills left.

In order to achieve a Breakthrough to the God Entry Realm eighth layer in one go, Yang Lingchen did not hesitate to swallow the entire last furnace of Medicinal Pills in one breath.

Immediately, an incomparably pure Spiritual Qi filled his body without restraint. He hurriedly and anxiously activated the Vast Heaven Art, rapidly refining this pure Spiritual Qi.

When this Spiritual Qi transformed into divine origin, Yang Lingchen frantically drove the divine origin within his body, charging aggressively towards the barrier of the God Entry Realm eighth layer.

"Boom... Boom... Boom...!"

"God Entry Realm eighth layer."

After the Breakthrough, Yang Lingchen suddenly opened his eyes, a faint smile of relief appearing on the corners of his mouth.

The next morning.

After freshening up, Yang Lingchen took the remaining two furnaces of Medicinal Pills and walked with light steps towards the direction of the Merit Hall.

"Little Fellow, you didn't mess up the Medicinal Pills, did you!" Yuwen Cheng said with worry.

"That did not happen. Senior, these are the God Entry pills I refined." After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he respectfully handed over the supreme grade God Entry pills in his hand.

"supreme grade God Entry pills! You refined these?" An expression of unbelievable shock appeared on Yuwen Cheng's face.

It was no wonder he was so shocked. One had to know that the mission stated that only Advanced God Entry pills were needed. He had not expected this Little Fellow to actually refine supreme grade God Entry pills.

Although they were all God Entry pills, the difference in the energy contained within them was immense.

"It was indeed refined by this Junior. Now, this Junior can issue Alchemy missions, right?" Yang Lingchen said confidently.

"You can, absolutely you can." Yuwen Cheng said, beaming with joy.

Subsequently, Yang Lingchen took a pile of Alchemy missions and also issued some Alchemy missions. This way, as long as anyone needed to refine supreme grade God Entry pills, they could find him for Alchemy through the Merit Hall.

Returning to his dormitory again, Yang Lingchen snuck into the haotian jade space without anyone noticing, and began Alchemy with full concentration again.

Time flew by, and another half a month passed.

During this half-month period, the Outer Court of Great Yan Academy completely boiled over. Countless Outer Court Disciples lined up in long queues to place orders at the Merit Hall, just to obtain a furnace of supreme grade God Entry pills from Yang Lingchen.

The Outer Court Disciples of Great Yan Academy numbered over one hundred thousand, but most were God Entry Realm Cultivators, so the demand for God Entry pills was extremely huge.

However, Yang Lingchen did not refine pills day and night without rest. Most of the time he was focused on Cultivating, and only in his spare time would he find time to refine some Medicinal Pills.

Even so, during this half-month period, he still accumulated a large amount of resources and contribution points.

Having enough resources and contribution points, Yang Lingchen did not plan to accept any more Alchemy missions before entering the Inner Court.

Although Yang Lingchen's current strength was comparable to the Divine Origin Realm third layer, he still could not enter the Inner Court.

Because to enter the Inner Court, one needed to have a Divine Origin Realm cultivation level, and Yang Lingchen's current cultivation level was only at the God Entry Realm eighth layer.

At Great Yan Academy, there were over one hundred thousand Outer Court students, but there were only ten to twenty thousand Inner Court Disciples, and Core Disciples were only a mere one hundred people.

Therefore, at Great Yan Academy, the status of Outer Court students could be said to be very low. Only by entering the Inner Court could one come into contact with more Advanced Cultivation Techniques and resources.

Merit Hall.

"Senior, this Junior will no longer accept Alchemy missions from now on." This day, Yang Lingchen came to the Merit Hall and cancelled the Alchemy missions he had issued.

"You kid, why have you suddenly stopped accepting Alchemy missions?" Yuwen Cheng asked with a beaming smile.

"Next, this Disciple plans to Cultivate wholeheartedly, striving to achieve a Breakthrough in cultivation level to the Divine Origin Realm, so there is not much time to spend on Alchemy." Yang Lingchen said solemnly.

"Very well! Then this seat will cancel all missions for you. I hope you will become an Inner Court student soon." For this energetic young man Yang Lingchen, Yuwen Cheng still thought very highly of him.
