77: Fourth level of the Returning to Profound Realm

"Men, except for this pretty boy, throw everyone else into the Heavenly Prison for This Holy Master."

Wang Yuyan's lips curled into a wicked smile, a chilling coldness emanating from it that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Damn it, why is this old vixen smiling so lewdly? She's not going to force herself on me, is she?" Yang Lingchen thought to himself, a shiver running down his spine.

Soon, Xiao Qingyun and Xiao Zaishan were escorted into the Heavenly Prison.

Yang Lingchen, on the other hand, was sent to a clean medicinal room, where countless precious medicinal materials were stored. In the center of the room sat a massive bronze cauldron, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

Just then, Wang Yuyan also walked in. With light yet dignified steps, she slowly approached Yang Lingchen and gently lifted his chin with her index finger.

"Tsk tsk tsk... truly handsome."

Wang Yuyan looked at Yang Lingchen with a charming expression, her eyes glinting with an unusual light.

"What do you want to do?"

Yang Lingchen looked terrified, his body involuntarily shifting backward, his eyes filled with vigilance and unease.

"Men, take this pretty boy away and wash him thoroughly for This Holy Master, inside and out. If there's even a speck of dirt, kill without mercy."

Wang Yuyan ordered coldly, her voice devoid of any emotion.

"Yes, Holy Master."

Several maids responded and quickly carried Yang Lingchen out.

Carried by the maids, Yang Lingchen was taken to the bathhouse, his heart filled with apprehension and doubt.

Soon, he was brought to the bathhouse.

Just then, a maid of seventeen or eighteen years old walked over, holding several brushes.

"Hey, it's just a bath, why are you holding iron brushes?"

Yang Lingchen was utterly bewildered, his face filled with confusion and shock.

"Ah ah ah... you crazy people, I'm so clean, yet you're scrubbing me with iron brushes."

Yang Lingchen screamed curses, his voice filled with anger and pain.

A long time later.

The thoroughly cleaned Yang Lingchen was carried back by eight maids.

Looking at Yang Lingchen being carried back, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but sniff at him, even extending her tongue to lick him, a sight that was utterly bone-chilling.

"You Damn Old Hag, if you're going to do it, just do it, why torture me like this?" Yang Lingchen cursed, his anger reaching its Peak.

"Throw him into the cauldron, and prepare the medicinal materials." Wang Yuyan said, without a trace of pity on her face.

"Yes, Holy Master." The eight maids directly carried Yang Lingchen towards the large cauldron.

"Holy crap, she's going to refine me into a Medicinal Pill!"

Yang Lingchen was greatly alarmed at this moment, his face turning pale with fright, cold sweat beading on his forehead. The crucial thing was that his cultivation level was temporarily sealed, and it would take at least one or two hours to undo it.

And after one or two hours, he would probably be refined into nothing but dregs.

"Beautiful big sister, can you spare me? I'm very obedient, and I'm good at having fun, I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Yang Lingchen quickly begged for mercy, his voice trembling with a hint of despair.

He really didn't want to be refined into a Medicinal Pill.

"This Holy Master also can't bear to refine you into a pill, but there's no other way. Who told you that you have a Pure Yang Body!"

Wang Yuyan laughed, her smile uglier than a cry, then she said to the maids, "Aren't you going to throw him in?"

"Yes, Holy Master."

"Bang..."

Yang Lingchen was pushed into the cauldron by a maid, and then the heavy lid was directly closed, with only a very small hole at the top for placing medicinal materials.

"Qiuju, quickly start the fire, and throw all the medicinal materials in for This Holy Master. This batch of Medicinal Pills needs to be refined for seven days and seven nights. The eight of you will take turns guarding, and the fire must be kept strong." Wang Yuyan said coldly, her eyes filled with determination.

"Yes, Holy Master."

The eight maids began to get busy, some starting the fire, others putting in medicinal materials, their movements skilled and swift.

Before long, the fire was lit.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen was utterly desperate. As medicinal materials were continuously poured in, he was soon submerged in a pile of them.

At this point, Yang Lingchen didn't feel too uncomfortable; he felt as comfortable and warm as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

But he knew that a fire was already burning outside, and it wouldn't be long before he would be refined alive into a Medicinal Pill.

In a blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

"Ah... ah..."

"Wang Yuyan, you old vixen, you unwanted bitch, you pervert, may your son be born without an anus..." Yang Lingchen screamed repeatedly, his voice shrill and tragic.

At this moment, the temperature inside the cauldron had reached over three hundred degrees, and he felt like he couldn't hold on much longer, as if his body was about to melt.

"No, I can't die here. Sister Bing and Yan Yan are still waiting for me at home, and Xueqing is still waiting for me to find her."

Thinking of this, Yang Lingchen frantically activated the Vast Heaven Art, trying to break through the Restriction on his body. Only by recovering his strength could he enter the haotian jade space.

With one failure after another, the temperature inside the cauldron had now reached over five hundred degrees.

Yang Lingchen felt like he was about to give up, but he still didn't. He continued to frantically charge at the Restriction left by Wang Yuyan, his eyes filled with determination.

Finally, just as Yang Lingchen was about to faint, the Restriction left by Wang Yuyan was finally broken by him.

Without thinking, he quickly circulated his Profound Energy to resist the high temperature, then frantically absorbed the Spirit Medicine inside the cauldron.

Having recovered his strength, Yang Lingchen could still withstand this temperature.

At this moment, there were countless Spirit Medicines in the cauldron, all of them essences, and Yang Lingchen didn't want to miss out.

So he activated the Vast Heaven Art and frantically devoured the Spirit Medicine. Before long, his cultivation level broke through to the Gui Xuan Realm Second Layer.

At this point, the temperature inside the cauldron was already very high, and Yang Lingchen felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he quickly flashed into the haotian jade space.

After Yang Lingchen entered the haotian jade space, he took out countless Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones and began to frantically devour them.

At this moment, he only wanted to quickly increase his strength, otherwise, death still awaited him.

The Vast Heaven Jade was a Divine Artifact from ancient times; this temperature could not harm it. Even if the Vast Heaven Jade were thrown into magma, it wouldn't suffer the slightest damage. Yang Lingchen knew this.

The problem was, Yang Lingchen couldn't hide in the Vast Heaven Jade forever, could he?

As time passed, three days flew by in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen had reached a critical point in his Breakthrough.

"Boom... boom... boom..."

"Gui Xuan Realm Third Layer."

"Gui Xuan Realm Third Layer Middle Stage."

"Gui Xuan Realm Third Layer Peak."

At this point, all of Yang Lingchen's Spirit Stones were depleted, so he activated the Vast Heaven Jade, drawing all the Spiritual Qi from the cauldron into the haotian jade space.

If Wang Yuyan knew that the Spirit Medicine she had spent more than ten years collecting had been completely refined by Yang Lingchen, she would definitely die from spitting blood.

As Spiritual Qi continuously flowed into the haotian jade space, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level soared once again.

"Boom... boom... boom..."

"Gui Xuan Realm Fourth Layer."

"Gui Xuan Realm Fourth Layer Middle Stage."

"Gui Xuan Realm Fourth Layer Late Stage."

It continued until he reached the Gui Xuan Realm Fourth Layer Peak before stopping.

After his Breakthrough, Yang Lingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

At this moment, all of Yang Lingchen's attention was focused on the mouth of the cauldron. Once the giant cauldron opened, he would throw out dozens of explosive poison pills and take the opportunity to rush out.

The explosive poison pills would produce poisonous smoke, which was the main reason he chose them. With the poisonous smoke as cover, he would have a slim chance of escaping.

He had also thought of a plan after escaping: to use the Shadow Shifting technique to transform into someone else's appearance, then remain in the Wuji Holy Land and try to find an opportunity to rescue Xiao Zaishan, as Xiao Zaishan had been truly kind to him.
