In the air, a refreshing fragrance that tickled the senses was spreading, emanating from within the Purple Heart Fruit.

Even Ye Chen couldn't help but swallow, feeling an urge to eat the Purple Heart Fruit.

The Purple Heart Fruit could not only repair the Dantian but also enhance a cultivator's power, making it an incredibly precious spirit fruit.

Even a Qi Dao Master at the Gang Qi Realm would be tempted upon seeing it.

However, to heal Ye Ming's Dantian, even if it were a spirit fruit a hundred times more precious than the Purple Heart Fruit, Ye Chen would give it to Ye Ming without hesitation.

"Is this really a Purple Heart Fruit? Chen'er, where did you pick this spirit fruit?" Ye Ming's body suddenly trembled, his eyes fixed on the Purple Heart Fruit, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.

"I entered the Canglan Mountain Range this time just to pick this Purple Heart Fruit. Godfather, don't ask too much, just eat it quickly." Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Alright." Ye Ming's hands trembled violently as he quickly took the Purple Heart Fruit from Ye Chen's hand.

His Dantian had become riddled with holes, but it was not completely shattered yet.

So, taking the Purple Heart Fruit now should still be in time.

"This Purple Heart Fruit must have been picked by Chen'er at the risk of his life for me. If I don't consume it, I would only be disappointing Ye Chen's good intentions." Ye Ming's eyes were filled with deep relief as he placed the Purple Heart Fruit in his mouth.

Fizz, fizz, fizz.

The next moment, the Purple Heart Fruit instantly melted in Ye Ming's mouth, transforming into a stream of purple warmth that surged into his Dantian, beginning to repair his damaged Dantian.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen returned once more to the corpse of the Black Robed Elder.

The Black Robed Elder had just recently died, and the bloodline power in his body had not yet completely dissipated.

So, Ye Chen could still devour his bloodline power in time.

"Devour it for me." Ye Chen's mind moved, and he activated the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Technique.

Buzz.

Immediately, a mysterious force surged from the depths of the Evolution Divine Tower within the Human Emperor's Space, enveloping the Black Robed Elder's corpse and quickly extracting the bloodline power from his body.

"What? This old fool's bloodline can actually be converted into fifty points of Evolutionary Power!" Ye Chen's pupils sharply contracted, unable to believe his eyes.

At this moment, fifty points of Evolutionary Power had already appeared within the Evolution Divine Tower.

All of it was converted from the Black Robed Elder's bloodline.

However, the Black Robed Elder's Black Earth Profound Snake Bloodline was merely a Yellow Level Fourth Grade bloodline, and logically, it shouldn't be possible to convert so much Evolutionary Power.

What's going on here?

"Hehe! Master, although this guy's Black Earth Profound Snake Bloodline is of a low grade, his cultivation has reached the Gang Qi Realm, making the bloodline in his body much stronger than when he was at the True Qi Realm, so the converted Evolutionary Power naturally increases as well." Tower Spirit explained with a smile.

He told Ye Chen that a cultivator's bloodline would become denser as their cultivation level increased.

The Black Robed Elder's cultivation had stepped into the Gang Qi Realm, making his bloodline about ten times denser than it was when he first awakened.

Because of this, the Evolutionary Power he could convert was much greater than when he had just awakened.

"Indeed, even the bloodline of the Phantom Leopard can convert twenty points of Evolutionary Power. This old fool is much stronger than the Phantom Leopard, so converting fifty points of Evolutionary Power is quite normal." Ye Chen quickly came to terms with it.

Next, Ye Chen began searching the Black Robed Elder's body.

The Black Robed Elder, being a Sixth Layer Gang Qi Realm expert and having served the Duanmu Family for so many years, should certainly possess a considerable amount of wealth.

"Huh? What's this?" Soon, Ye Chen discovered a silver card on the Black Robed Elder's body, intricately engraved with a lifelike golden Divine Cauldron.

However, Ye Chen had never seen such a card before, so he had no idea what it was used for.

"Since this old fool carried this card on him, it must have some value. I'll ask my Godfather later; maybe he knows its origin." Ye Chen muttered to himself as he pocketed the silver card.

Besides the silver card, the Black Robed Elder had nothing else on him.

This left Ye Chen feeling somewhat disappointed.

"Oh right, there's also a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact." Ye Chen's gaze suddenly fell on an inky black Battle Sword, his eyes glimmering with brilliance.

This Battle Sword was the Low Grade Spiritual Artifact used by the Black Robed Elder, extremely sharp to the point that even Ye Chen's Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body could hardly withstand it.

If Ye Chen uses it for battle, it can undoubtedly enhance his combat power significantly.

"A low grade spiritual artifact, though far inferior to an immortal's magical treasure, is already considered an extremely powerful weapon in the mortal realm," the Tower Spirit said with a slight smile.

In the Celestial Flame Dynasty, a lower grade spiritual artifact is typically only possessed by a Gang Qi Realm Qi Dao Master.

As for cultivators in the True Qi Realm, it is very difficult for them to own a lower grade spiritual artifact.

After all, the value of a lower grade spiritual artifact is indeed too expensive. Even the three great families of Kunzhou Prefecture can't afford to buy many pieces, let alone cultivators in the True Qi Realm.

Yet Ye Chen now possesses a lower grade spiritual artifact, which is also a pleasant surprise for him.

"Spiritual artifacts are divided into lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, and top grade. It's said that only a Qi Dao Grandmaster in the Celestial Spirit Realm can wield an upper grade spiritual artifact. I wonder when I will be able to obtain an upper grade spiritual artifact," Ye Chen couldn't help but lament.

The higher the grade of a spiritual artifact, the more terrifying its power naturally is.

Even a lower grade spiritual artifact can easily pierce through the flesh of a Tier Two Demon Beast. If it were an upper grade spiritual artifact, how powerful would it be?

I fear it could even pierce through a Tier Three Demon Beast's flesh.

If Ye Chen could possess an upper grade spiritual artifact now, his combat power would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

Unfortunately, he has no way to obtain one.

Buzz.

At this moment, a dazzling purple glow suddenly burst from Ye Ming's body, making him appear as if a Divine Spirit had descended.

Immediately, an immensely violent Gang Qi surged forth from Ye Ming's body, enveloping an area within nine zhang.

"Great, Father's dantian has finally recovered," Ye Chen's expression was filled with joy, his voice exceedingly excited.

The Purple Heart Fruit not only successfully repaired Ye Ming's dantian but also advanced his realm by two levels, elevating his cultivation from the seventh layer to the ninth layer of the Gang Qi Realm.

If that old man in black were still alive, with Ye Ming's current strength, he could easily crush him to death.

"Haha, Chen'er, it's truly thanks to you this time. Not only has my dantian been healed, but my cultivation has also broken through to the ninth layer of the Gang Qi Realm. Now, apart from the existence of the Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm, almost no one can threaten me," Ye Ming said with extreme excitement.

"Congratulations, Father. If Ye Kun and Luo Tong find out that your cultivation has reached the ninth layer of the Gang Qi Realm, I wonder what expressions they would have," Ye Chen's lips couldn't help but flash with a cold smile.

"Those despicable scoundrels, someday I will personally deal with them," Ye Ming's eyes suddenly shone with a terrifying cold light.

The reason his dantian was nearly shattered was due to Ye Kun and Luo Tong.

If not for Ye Kun colluding with Luo Tong and leaking his whereabouts to Luo Tong, he wouldn't have been ambushed by Luo Tong.

Therefore, eventually, he must make Ye Kun and Luo Tong pay in blood.

"Father, why don't we go exterminate Luo Tong now? As for Ye Kun, let him live a little longer. Now is not the time to kill him," Ye Chen said coldly, his entire being exuding a murderous intent.

Although he too wished to immediately kill Ye Kun to avenge his grievances.

However, Ye Kun is still Ye Lin'Er's father. If he kills Ye Kun now, it will certainly completely enrage Ye Lin'Er.

At that time, she will definitely spare no effort to retaliate against Ye Chen.

Yet Ye Chen's current strength is too weak, likely insufficient to oppose Ye Lin'Er.

Thus, he must continue to endure.

Once his strength becomes sufficiently formidable, he will definitely make Ye Kun and Ye Lin'Er pay in blood.

As for the Patriarch of the Luo Family, that's different.

He has no significant backing, even if Ye Ming kills him, there is no one to seek revenge.

"Chen'er, you are right. I will send Luo Tong on his way now, and as for you, stay here with your Mother," Ye Ming nodded and said.

"Father, make sure you return quickly. I'm worried Duanmu Jie might send others to assassinate us. Then come with me to the Celestial Flame Academy. In the Celestial Flame Academy, I doubt Duanmu Jie would dare act recklessly," Ye Chen said with a cold smile.

Although Ye Ming's cultivation has now reached the ninth layer of the Gang Qi Realm.

However, the Duanmu Family has plenty of strong individuals, who knows if Duanmu Jie might summon a Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm expert to assassinate Ye Ming.

Therefore, Ye Ming cannot yet return to the Ye Family to reclaim his position as Patriarch, or he may face danger at any moment.
