Chapter 2203: I Feel You Can't Bear It!

"Divine Jade Heart Pills, simply put, are godlike pills! With just one of these pills, your Uncle Lie can step into the long-dreamed-of divine realm with a hundred percent certainty! Four Divine Jade Heart Pills mean four divine-level experts!"

Chen Yan's face was flushed with excitement, even to the point of fanaticism.

He was now utterly convinced that Chen Family Village had struck gold!

Before the accident, A-Ning was definitely a two-star Divine Pill Master!

No, three-star!

Definitely a three-star Divine Pill Master!

As for the even stronger four-star Divine Pill Master, that was beyond Chen Yan's comprehension; he didn't even have the courage to think about it.

Even if he racked his brains, he couldn't imagine what kind of supreme pill dao master that would be.

Ye Yuan scratched his head and smiled, "It seems I'm not entirely useless after all."

Chen Yan laughed heartily, "Useless? I've never seen you as useless! From the moment I saved you, I knew you were no ordinary person!"

Beside them, A-Xiu looked at Ye Yuan with blinking eyes, her face full of admiration, "Hehe, I told you, A-Ning is definitely not ordinary!"

The villagers were still in shock, stunned by Chen Yan's words "four divine-level experts."

"My god, four divine-level experts—am I hearing things?"

"Then wouldn't our Chen Family Village become the strongest village for ten thousand miles around?"

"This A-Ning, you really can't judge a book by its cover! Who would have thought he was a hidden Divine Pill Master!"

...

At this moment, the villagers had completely forgotten their earlier mockery.

The words "four divine-level experts" seemed magical, instantly shifting everyone's stance.

The divine realm was the realm every hunter in the village aspired to.

But so far, no one in the village had ever reached the divine realm.

For mortals, taking that step was far too difficult!

A lifetime of effort couldn't achieve it.

Yet Ye Yuan, with a casual gesture, had created four divine-level experts—how powerful was that!

Chen Yong stood nearby, extremely embarrassed.

Seeing A-Xiu's adoring expression, the jealousy in his heart instantly flared up again.

"Hmph! What's so great about that? I can reach the divine realm through my own cultivation!"

He thought to himself, but his eyes couldn't help stealing glances at the Jade Heart Pills.

As for Chen Lie and Chen Jian, their eyes never left the Jade Heart Pills, and their bodies trembled with excitement.

That was the divine realm!

Chen Yan, being old and shrewd, was the first to recover from the shock.

He cleared his throat twice, calling everyone back to their senses, and said slowly, "Chen Lie, Chen Jian, each of you take one Divine Jade Heart Pill and go into seclusion immediately. Make sure to break through to the divine realm before tomorrow!"

"Yes, Uncle Yan!" The two were overjoyed, carefully taking the pills from Chen Yan's hand and striding away.

Chen Yan carefully put away the remaining two Jade Heart Pills and said to Chen Yong and A-Xiu, "A-Yong, A-Xiu, these two pills are for you! From today on, you must train hard and reach the peak of the mortal realm as soon as possible!"

Chen Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands, "Yes, Grandpa Yan!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help stealing a glance at Ye Yuan, and seeing him lost in thought, he secretly relaxed.

Luckily, this guy didn't take offense; otherwise, a few mocking words in public would have made him lose face.

Especially in front of A-Xiu.

"Grandpa, this isn't fair! The pills were refined by A-Ning, why don't you keep one for him?" A-Xiu said displeased.

Chen Yan smiled bitterly, "It's not that Grandpa is taking advantage of A-Ning. Even if he took the pill, it would be useless."

A-Xiu was puzzled, "But this is a divine pill—how could it be?"

Chen Yan said, "A-Ning is severely injured; spiritual energy can't be stored in his body. Even if he ate this pill, it would all be wasted in the end."

A-Xiu was about to say more when Ye Yuan laughed, "A-Xiu, you and Grandpa Yan saved me. It's only right that you take the pill. Hmm... maybe I can refine even better pills in the future?"

At these words, Chen Yan's eyes lit up!

Ah!

Why hadn't he thought of that?

Once Chen Lie and Chen Jian broke through to the divine realm, it would be much easier to obtain divine-level spiritual herbs.

Then...

At this thought, Chen Yan could barely contain his inner fervor!

Maybe he himself had a chance to break through to the divine realm!

"Uncle Yan, it's bad! Luo Sheng has brought people from Luo Family Village to collect taxes ahead of time!"

Just as everyone was immersed in their fantasies, someone came to report, shattering all illusions instantly.

No one expected Luo Sheng to come so soon!

Chen Lie and Chen Jian were surely already in seclusion and must not be disturbed.

If Luo Sheng discovered the Jade Heart Pills, Chen Family Village would face utter destruction!

Beyond the city walls, there was no reasoning.

Whoever had the bigger fist was the law.

Luo Sheng, the only divine-level expert for ten thousand miles around, his word was law.

Moreover, Luo Sheng would never stand by and watch Chen Family Village grow strong.

Chen Yan's face darkened, "Everyone, follow me. The matter of the Jade Heart Pills must never be revealed! Each of you, wipe that expression off your faces and act as if nothing is wrong. If even a hint leaks out, we all die, understand?"

Everyone's expression turned serious, and they nodded one after another.

Chen Yan shooed the villagers away, found a hidden spot to store the two Jade Heart Pills, and then followed them out.

...

Chen Yan led the crowd out of the village, facing a middle-aged man in brocade robes, radiating divine might.

Behind him was a large contingent of well-armed soldiers.

There were over a dozen at the peak of the mortal realm alone!

Without a word, Chen Yan knelt directly before Luo Sheng, who was on horseback.

"Chen Yan of Chen Family Village, leading the villagers to pay respects to the divine Lord Luo!"

As he knelt, the others followed suit, shouting, "Pay respects to the divine Lord Luo!"

In the eyes of these mortals, the divine realm was invincible, revered as "divine lords."

And in Luo Sheng's eyes, these villagers were ants who must kneel before him.

Otherwise, death!

Suddenly, Luo Sheng frowned and snorted, "Boy, who are you? Why don't you kneel before me?"

Chen Yan turned back and saw Ye Yuan standing there foolishly, frowning and lost in thought. He was scared out of his wits.

This kid, how could he lose his head at such a critical moment?

Seeing everyone kneel, Ye Yuan instinctively frowned.

For some reason, he didn't want to kneel to this man!

The very thought of kneeling made every pore on his body resist.

This was a pride ingrained in his bones, one that even amnesia couldn't erase.

A mere Cave Profound realm, just entering the divine path—what right did he have to make a quasi-sage kneel?

A quasi-sage stood at the very pinnacle of the Tongtian Realm!

Could Luo Sheng bear it?

Ye Yuan looked at Luo Sheng thoughtfully and suddenly said with a serious expression, "Hmm... I feel you can't bear it."
