Chapter 51: You also pay attention to the trials of the younger generation?

Chapter 51: You care about the trials of the younger generation as well?

"I do."

Upon hearing about medicinal pills, Bai Jing'er hastily handed over a jade bottle. "Brother Bao, this is the Three-Turn Purple Snow Pill, the finest healing pill in the White Bone Temple."

"Good, this is an excellent pill."

Chen Ping'an praised.

The Purple Snow Pill was a renowned healing medicine; the first turn marked the entry level, while the ninth turn represented the absolute peak. In the Northern Province, a Three-Turn Purple Snow Pill was already considered top-tier.

For a faction as massive as the White Bone Temple, possessing even a Three-Turn Purple Snow Pill spoke volumes about its extreme rarity.

Whoosh!

Chen Ping'an flicked his sleeve gently, scattering the pile of white bone dust into the wind. Then, he squatted down to support the unconscious Master of the White Bone Temple, popped the Three-Turn Purple Snow Pill into his mouth, and channeled a stream of spiritual energy to guide the pill into his stomach.

"Brother Bao is not only handsome, but he also has such a kind heart..." Seeing Chen Ping'an rescue her master with such patience, Bai Jing'er felt a deep wave of emotion.

Back then, she had indeed been captivated by his otherworldly appearance, demeanor, and eloquence. Now, she was even more moved by Brother Bao's benevolent soul.

Not only did Brother Bao spare her master's life, but he also stepped in to save him. Which ordinary man could possibly possess such a magnanimous and forgiving mindset?

"Brother Bao, you truly are a good person," Bai Jing'er murmured involuntarily, unable to hold back her feelings.

"Ding! Good Person Card activated. The host's cultivation has advanced by a minor realm!"

Hearing the system's prompt, Chen Ping'an felt a wave of relief. All his hard-earned acting had finally paid off.

Naturally, whenever an ex-girlfriend appeared, he would never let slip an opportunity to activate a Good Person Card. After all, getting things for free was the ultimate source of happiness!

To advance a minor realm in just a fleeting instant—how much cultivation time did that save him?

As a transmigrator, was he not entitled to fleece the system a little?

Feigning ignorance of Bai Jing'er's remark, Chen Ping'an stood up and waited quietly.

As the medicinal properties took effect, the terrifying wound on the back of the White Bone Temple Master healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. His breathing grew steady and deep, and his complexion gradually regained a healthy flush.

Seeing this, Bai Jing'er let out a long breath of relief.

"Your master still has plenty of luck left..."

Chen Ping'an stood with his hands behind his back and offered a faint smile.

Hearing this, a look of perplexity suddenly crossed Bai Jing'er's porcelain-white, exquisitely beautiful face.

Chen Ping'an clarified, "You saw it yourself just now. Once the will of the Ghost-Fate Skeletal Dragon awakened, had it not condensed into black smoke, it could easily have taken your master's life."

"Indeed, Brother Bao."

Bai Jing'er nodded with a heavy heart, her mind racing with a thousand thoughts.

She had also understood the words spoken by the Ghost-Fate Skeletal Dragon.

Brother Bao was a person blessed with great destiny; the height of his future cultivation was simply unimaginable. There was no doubt he stood a chance of attaining the Emperor Realm in this lifetime!

The Master of the White Bone Temple finally woke up.

"Where is my dragon bone?"

As soon as he regained consciousness, he immediately reached behind to grope for his dragon bone. Finding nothing there, his expression changed drastically.

"That dragon bone has disintegrated," Chen Ping'an said flatly. At the same time, he quietly sent a sound transmission to Bai Jing'er, instructing her to keep this matter strictly confidential.

Bai Jing'er acknowledged the instruction with a knowing look.

The Master of the White Bone Temple was struck with grief and indignation, his face twisting in agony as he stamped his feet and beat his chest. One could easily imagine how devastating the loss of the dragon bone was to him.

Chen Ping'an pulled Bai Jing'er into his embrace once more.

"You should comfort him properly. I am returning to the Azure Cloud Sect to cultivate," he said softly.

His current true cultivation was merely at the Golden Body Realm, while every single one of his ex-girlfriends had already reached the Divine Void Realm.

That put an immense amount of pressure on him.

Perhaps because he had engaged in too many relationships in his past life, Chen Ping'an no longer harbored any lingering attachment to romantic beauty. Faced with parting ways, he was remarkably resolute—leaving the moment he decided to go, without a trace of hesitation.

"Understood, Brother Bao," Bai Jing'er replied obediently.

Brother Bao was a man destined for great things. As his woman, Bai Jing'er resolved that she would never hold him back.

Chen Ping'an drifted away gracefully from the White Bone Temple.

Unleashing the terrifying speed of a peak tenth-layer Void Spirit Realm expert, he finally returned to the Azure Cloud Sect a few hours later.

"Old Ancestor, you've returned!"

The Profound Ancestor was keeping watch outside the door when he suddenly saw his Old Ancestor descending from the heavens, and his face instantly lit up with ecstatic joy.

Chen Ping'an nodded and smiled. "Mhm, everything is settled. We've buried the hatchet."

Hearing this, the Profound Ancestor was overjoyed.

The Old Ancestor's words carried profound meaning. They not only referred to the reconciliation between the White Bone Temple and the Azure Cloud Sect, but also implied the mending of the relationship between the Old Ancestor and his ex-girlfriend.

After giving Little Xuan a few instructions, Chen Ping'an returned to his room, slept soundly, and once the Void Spirit Realm trial card expired, he swallowed a top-grade Qi and Blood Pill and immediately began his secluded cultivation.

This trip away from the Azure Cloud Sect had involved crossing paths with four ex-girlfriends consecutively, activating the Good Person Card four times. The benefits reaped were immeasurable, pushing his cultivation boundary straight to the sixth layer of the Golden Body Realm.

Not only that, but he had also acquired a plethora of system rewards.

To sum it up in a single sentence: the harvest was massive!

A month later, Chen Ping'an successfully broke through to the seventh layer of the Golden Body Realm.

"Ding! Detected that an ex-girlfriend will appear in the Azure Cloud Secret Realm. If the host successfully confirms her identity, the reward will be Mastery of Heaven-Grade Alchemy."

The sudden, crisp chime interrupted Chen Ping'an's cultivation.

The Azure Cloud Secret Realm?

Chen Ping'an paused for a moment. This was the very secret realm his master had personally established with his own hands. Over ten thousand years had passed, and it was still operating smoothly, serving as a training ground for the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect.

Back in the day, he had also entered it for training.

"Could it be that one of my ex-girlfriends is also within the Azure Cloud Sect?"

Chen Ping'an muttered to himself.

There were four great beauties in the younger generation of the Azure Cloud Sect: Ning Yao, Xia Xiaoliang, Ruan Ting, and Nan Qiao.

Two of those four beauties were already reincarnations of his ex-girlfriends; there was a strong chance the remaining two were as well.

I'm numb...

Thinking back and forth, Chen Ping'an suddenly found it hard to sit still.

Mastery of Heaven-Grade Alchemy—this reward held an irresistible temptation for him.

On the path of cultivation, medicinal pills were indispensable.

Yet whether in the primordial lands, the Canglan Continent, or anywhere else, proficient alchemists were scarce. Consequently, the price of pills remained exorbitantly high, making top-tier elixirs unaffordable for ordinary cultivators.

If he could master alchemy, on the one hand, he could supply his own cultivation needs; on the other hand, he could sell the surplus in exchange for other cultivation resources.

Although he possessed the system, Chen Ping'an had also noticed that the system mostly rewarded various trial cards, cultivation techniques, and divine artifacts. Resources that directly accelerated daily cultivation were actually quite rare.

In this regard, he did not wish to drain the resources of the Azure Cloud Sect either.

After all, the Azure Cloud Sect had numerous disciples and high consumption. As the Old Ancestor, he didn't want to monopolize the sect's resources excessively.

Chen Ping'an walked outside.

"Little Xuan, isn't the Azure Cloud Secret Realm opening soon?"

The Profound Ancestor blinked, scratched his head, and replied, "Indeed. Who would have thought that you, Old Ancestor, would also care about the trials of the younger generation?"

Hearing this, a grid of black lines formed across Chen Ping'an's forehead.

He wasn't caring about the younger generation's trial; he was caring about his own girlfriend.

However, he certainly couldn't voice those thoughts aloud.

His true objective was to enter the Azure Cloud Secret Realm and track down his long-lost ex-girlfriend.

Taking a roundabout approach, Chen Ping'an asked, "Little Xuan, ever since my master set up this Azure Cloud Secret Realm, ten thousand years have flown by. How is the secret realm holding up nowadays?"

"It's doing very well, Old Ancestor," the Profound Ancestor answered honestly.

After all, the Old Ancestor was the personal disciple of the sect's founding master and one of the very first batch of people to enter the Azure Cloud Secret Realm.

"How nostalgic..."

Chen Ping'an gazed into the distance at the sea of mountains and white clouds, speaking in a distant tone.

Sensing the hidden implication behind his words, the Profound Ancestor probed cautiously, "Old Ancestor, would you like to go in and take another look?"

"Sounds good," Chen Ping'an agreed without hesitation.

The Profound Ancestor: "..."

He cast a strange look at the Old Ancestor, feeling faintly that something was amiss, yet he simply couldn't put his finger on it.
