Swipe.

At this moment, a silver card appeared in Ye Chen's hand, engraved with an image of a Divine Cauldron, lifelike in appearance.

This card was obtained by Ye Chen from the old man in the black robe. Unexpectedly, Luo Tong and the Grand Elder of the Luo Family also had the same card.

"This is a Silver Card issued by the Divine Cauldron Alliance. Only by depositing fifty thousand ordinary Spirit Stones in a bank under the Divine Cauldron Alliance can one qualify for such a Silver Card. In fact, godfather also has one of these Silver Cards," Ye Ming said with a slight smile.

"So, all of Luo Tong's wealth must be stored in these Silver Cards!" Ye Chen couldn't help but be shocked, his eyes becoming incredibly fervent.

It should be known that Luo Tong and the old man in the black robe were all Gang Qi Realm Qi Dao Masters.

They definitely possessed considerable wealth.

If this wealth were all stored in the banks under the Divine Cauldron Alliance, Ye Chen could use these Silver Cards to withdraw them.

"Exactly, and with this type of Silver Card, you can directly go to the Divine Cauldron Alliance to purchase various weapons. Besides establishing banks, the Divine Cauldron Alliance primarily deals in weaponry. As long as you have enough Spirit Stones, you can buy all kinds of weapons in the Alliance's branches, including top-grade Spiritual Artifacts," Ye Ming's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"What? Even top-grade Spiritual Artifacts can be purchased? What is the origin of this Divine Cauldron Alliance?" Ye Chen said, shocked.

It should be known that top-grade Spiritual Artifacts are extremely rare throughout the Celestial Flame Dynasty and typically only accessible to Celestial Spirit Realm Qi Dao Grandmasters.

Yet in the branches of the Divine Cauldron Alliance, top-grade Spiritual Artifacts are sold.

This shows how extraordinary its origins are.

"Chen'er, just like the Celestial Pill Pavilion, the Divine Cauldron Alliance is a colossus in the Southern Heaven Domain, with branches all over it. Even your Ye Clan would have to be wary of them," Ye Ming said solemnly.

"Our Ye Clan is a Divine Spirit Family. If even the Ye Clan fears the Divine Cauldron Alliance, then its founder is highly likely to be a Divine Spirit. It seems I can safely store my wealth in the banks of the Divine Cauldron Alliance," Ye Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath, marveling in his heart.

Even he hadn't realized the fame of the Divine Cauldron Alliance was so significant.

For such a colossal power, very few in the Southern Heaven Domain would dare to provoke them.

If he stored his wealth in a bank under the Divine Cauldron Alliance, he'd have no worries of it being stolen.

"Chen'er, you should also take these two Silver Cards. Now that you are a student of the Celestial Flame Academy, you will undoubtedly need many cultivation resources," Ye Ming said kindly, handing over two Silver Cards to Ye Chen.

His cultivation had already reached the Ninth Layer of the Gang Qi Realm, easily capable of slaying most Tier Two Demon Beasts.

He could easily accumulate wealth.

Therefore, these two Silver Cards were dispensable for him and better off used to help Ye Chen purchase cultivation resources.

"Thank you, godfather." Ye Chen felt a warmth in his heart, accepting the two Silver Cards from Ye Ming.

In fact, cultivating the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body indeed required consuming a massive amount of Spirit Stones.

Just breaking through to the First Level of Foundation Establishment Realm with the Human Emperor Body consumed fifty thousand ordinary Spirit Stones.

To further advance the Human Emperor Body to the Second Level of Dragon Elephant Realm would likely consume several times more Spirit Stones than the First Level.

Hence, no amount of Spirit Stones would seem excessive to Ye Chen.

"Chen'er, we should leave here now. The news of my defeat of Luo Tong has likely spread across Kunzhou Prefecture, and Ye Kun will definitely seek help from Ye Lin'Er," Ye Ming said, frowning slightly.

With his current strength, he had no fear of Ye Lin'Er.

He truly feared the experts of the Duanmu Family.

If Duanmu Jie indeed dispatched a Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm expert to hunt them down, even Ye Ming wouldn't be confident in confronting them.

So, leaving was the most prudent plan.

"Godfather, I must report to the Celestial Flame Academy in twelve days. Let's depart now," Ye Chen suggested.

The Celestial Flame Academy was situated in the royal capital of the Celestial Flame Dynasty, several thousand miles away from Kunzhou Prefecture.

If they boarded rare flying Exotic Beasts, they could arrive within a day.

But such flying Exotic Beasts were generally only kept by the Celestial Flame Academy, and Ye Chen couldn't acquire them for now.

Thus, he could only rely on traditional methods, like taking a carriage, to reach the academy.

In this manner, it would take about ten days to reach the Celestial Flame Academy.

Departing too late would make it impossible to arrive in time.

"Alright! Let godfather escort you to the Celestial Flame Academy," Ye Ming said with a slight smile, then picked up Xiao Hui and left the Ancient Forest with Ye Chen.

Five hours later, Ye Chen and his group entered a neighboring prefecture city beside Kunzhou Prefecture.

This city was called Guangchi Prefecture, and was even more prosperous than Kunzhou Prefecture, the streets bustling with people and carriages.

At this time, Xiao Hui had already awakened from her coma.

Ever since Ye Chen enhanced her heart with Evolutionary Power, not only did she completely recover, but her recovery power also improved significantly.

After all, a stronger heart increases blood circulation speed, enhancing overall physical capabilities, including recovery power.

"Husband, I truly thought we were about to be separated by life and death earlier. Fortunately, Chen'er saved me, or I would never have seen you again," At this moment, on a wide street in Guangchi Prefecture, two carriages were speeding along.

One carriage held Ye Ming and Xiao Hui, as the other carried Ye Chen.

The carriages were driven by two True Qi Realm cultivators hired at a high price by Ye Ming.

Their task was to escort Ye Chen and his companions to the royal capital of the Celestial Flame Dynasty.

"Dear, your injuries aren't fully healed. Please rest here, and I will always protect you," Ye Ming tightly held Xiao Hui's delicate hand, speaking to her softly.

"Mm!" Xiao Hui nestled in Ye Ming's embrace, her lips curling into a sweet smile.

"I have twelve days left; I wonder how many Sea of Qi I can establish," Inside the other carriage, Ye Chen was filled with excitement, taking out a dark cyan Beast Core.

This Beast Core was the core of a Phantom Leopard.

Last time, Ye Chen used it to open two new Sea of Qi, but it still contained an abundance of demonic power, sufficient to support the opening of eight more Sea of Qi.

In addition to this Beast Core, Ye Chen also had eighteen Tier One Demon Beast Cores, each equivalent to eighteen Earth Spirit Stones in effect.

This meant he could open eighteen more Sea of Qi.

Sizzling sounds could be heard.

Ye Chen then sat cross-legged within the carriage, activating the "Myriad Dao Human Emperor Technique," beginning to absorb the demonic power within the Beast Core.

This process caused little disturbance, making it difficult for outsiders to notice.

Two hours later, Ye Chen and his companions' carriage left Guangchi Prefecture City, galloping along a wide official road.

Soldiers of the Celestial Flame Dynasty patrolled this road, and even demon beasts dared not approach it recklessly.

Therefore, their journey was smooth and uneventful.

Time flew by, and nine days passed in the blink of an eye.

"My cultivation has finally reached the Seventh Layer of the True Qi Realm." On this day, Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes, sharp brilliance flashing from them, his expression extremely excited.

On the second day of their journey to the royal capital, he refined all of the Phantom Leopard's Beast Core, generating forty-two Sea of Qi in his Dantian.

However, refining those dozen Tier One Demon Beast Cores was much more challenging, as their effect only equaled Earth Spirit Stones, and absorbed far slower than Celestial Spirit Stones.

Even though Ye Chen's breakthrough in the Human Emperor Body's First Level of Foundation Establishment Realm improved his cultivation speed somewhat.

It still took a good eight days to fully refine his eighteen Tier One Demon Beast Cores.

Now, deep in his Dantian, a total of sixty Sea of Qi had been formed, giving him power surpassing a First Layer Gang Qi Realm Qi Dao Master if fully unleashed.

Such was the terrifying effect of possessing a ninefold Qi Sea Foundation.

Even though Ye Chen's cultivation was just at the Seventh Layer of True Qi Realm, he could already rely on True Qi to challenge a First Layer Gang Qi Realm Qi Dao Master.
