Four third-grade pills, all of them high-quality elixirs refined from the inner cores and blood essence of top-tier Spirit Transformation Realm demonic beasts, were placed before Chen Fei.

Each of these pills was worth a fortune—far beyond what lower-grade spirit stones could purchase. Only a powerhouse like Ling Qingyi could effortlessly produce four of them for Chen Fei.

Inside his room, Chen Fei took out one of the pills, named Sanhe Pill. It was said to be crafted from the refined essence of three top-tier Spirit Transformation Realm demonic beasts, combined with over a hundred types of spiritual herbs and fruits.

As soon as the Sanhe Pill entered his stomach, it dissolved into a warm current and was immediately absorbed by the Void Heaven Cauldron. The potent medicinal energy surged like a spring, continuously refined by the cauldron and converted into pure spiritual power.

Indeed, the speed of his cultivation improvement this time was far superior to when he had consumed ordinary third-grade spirit pills.

Within mere moments, the spiritual power within his body, under the cauldron’s refining, shattered the bottleneck of the late eighth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm and pushed him to the peak of the eighth level.

Even after reaching this peak, his spiritual power continued to grow stronger, showing signs of an impending breakthrough to the ninth level.

However, when the last trace of medicinal energy was completely drained by the cauldron, Chen Fei ultimately failed to step into the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Feeling the unusual state of his body, Chen Fei couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

This was a high-grade third-grade elixir!

Normally, even a newly advanced True Spirit Master would find it beneficial.

Yet now, it wasn’t enough to push him into the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

“What level has my internal spiritual power reached?” Chen Fei wondered in surprise. However, since he had never truly fought a True Spirit Master, he had no way of gauging his own strength accurately.

At this moment, he felt as if the spiritual power within his body was on the verge of liquefying. Even a small fraction of it could unleash an incredibly terrifying force.

If he were to face Lin Family’s old ancestor or City Lord Ye Chen now, he might not even need to rely on the Thousand Phantom Slash or Dragon Transformation Technique. His mastery of the spirit-grade Silver Moon Sword Technique alone would be enough to suppress—or even slay—them with ease.

At the same time, Chen Fei once again activated his Ten Thousand Dao Cultivation Method, drawing upon the innate talents extracted by the Void Heaven Cauldron from the Sanhe Pill.

The three demonic beast talents he acquired were all related to physical body and strength enhancement. But for him, they were no longer useful, as they were insignificant compared to his Dragon Transformation Talent.

Next, Chen Fei took out the second pill—Guiwu Pill.

The primary ingredients of this elixir were two rare treasures of heaven and earth: Gui Xu Seeds and Mist Spirit Grass, complemented by the blood essence of high-tier demonic beasts.

Notably, Gui Xu Seeds were a key ingredient in refining fourth-grade pills, requiring a minimum of two hundred years of maturity.

Once consumed, the Guiwu Pill was again absorbed by the Void Heaven Cauldron. However, unlike before, most of its spiritual energy was treated as impurities and discarded, leaving only a minuscule portion to be absorbed by Chen Fei’s spiritual power.

Seeing this, Chen Fei felt an inexplicable heartache. The potent medicinal energy of a high-grade third-grade elixir was mostly discarded by the cauldron as waste!

If the discarded portion had been given to an ordinary Grand Spirit Master, it could have easily boosted a sixth-rank Grand Spirit Master to the eighth rank.

“The Void Heaven Cauldron is getting pickier. Even though I’m only at the eighth rank of the Grand Spirit Master Realm, it’s already rejecting high-grade third-grade spirit pills?”

Chen Fei felt a headache coming on. Such extreme selectiveness would undoubtedly make his future breakthroughs even harder.

Yet, despite its picky nature, the cauldron’s terrifying refining efficiency and the high purity of the retained spiritual power justified its strict selection.

Finally, once the Guiwu Pill was completely refined, Chen Fei successfully broke through to the early ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm!

Afterward, he activated his Ten Thousand Dao Cultivation Method again to absorb the demonic beast talents extracted by the cauldron. This time, among the three talents he received, two were common body-strengthening and spirit-strengthening abilities, which he ignored.

However, the third talent—Spirit Eye—made him overjoyed. Unlike the Spirit Eye Snake talent he had obtained before, this was an even higher-tier sensory ability.

It originated from a Spirit Cat, a demonic beast at the Spirit Master Realm. Though Spirit Cats were among the weakest at that level, their sensory perception far surpassed that of Spirit Eye Snakes.

With this newfound talent, Chen Fei immediately began testing its capabilities. As expected, his perception improved drastically. Though the range remained at a thousand meters, within this radius, he could even faintly sense variations in the density of spiritual energy in the air.

This was incredible!

If he had possessed this ability when he was ambushed by the mysterious Thousand-Step Technique Spirit Master from the City Lord’s Mansion, he might have been able to track down his attacker.

“This was a huge gain!”

Chen Fei’s face lit up with excitement. Obtaining the Spirit Cat’s perception talent made him even happier than advancing to the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

With two high-grade third-grade elixirs still left, Chen Fei decided not to consume them immediately.

The Void Heaven Cauldron was too selective—these pills were no longer satisfactory for it. Rather than wasting them, it was better to give them to someone who truly needed them.

He planned to gift these two pills, along with the Fire Spirit Fruit he obtained from the Falling Whirl Valley, to Su Ran.

Tomorrow, the two of them would be venturing into Falling Whirl Valley, and naturally, Chen Fei hoped Su Ran would have enough strength to protect herself.

At the same time, he was quite curious about Su Ran’s current power level. Once they entered Falling Whirl Valley together, he would surely find out.

By the time Chen Fei returned to the Su Residence, night had already fallen.

Instead of cultivating in the secret chamber, Su Ran had been waiting for him in her room.

“Have you eaten?” Su Ran asked with concern as he entered.

“I already have.” Chen Fei replied, sitting down on the bedside with Su Ran’s support.

“I’ve arranged everything. Tomorrow morning, my brother will be waiting for you at the city gates.” Chen Fei spoke as he took out the prepared gifts. “Also, the trade caravan has joined the Myriad Nations Chamber of Commerce. This is the reward given to me by Master Ling. It’s not of much use to me, but it should be beneficial to you.”

With that, Chen Fei handed over the two pills and the Fire Spirit Fruit to Su Ran.

Seeing these, Su Ran did not hesitate.

After cultivating the Yin-Yang Emperor Sutra together and spending six intimate days side by side, their bond had already become indistinguishable from that of a couple.

Su Ran accepted the elixirs and Fire Spirit Fruit, her voice soft. “Chen Fei, I won’t be polite with you. These are indeed things I need.”

“As long as they’re useful to my dear wife,” Chen Fei chuckled.

As Su Ran got up to open the secret chamber door, she suddenly paused…
