Chapter 230: Taking Xian Lin'er 4
Xian Lin'er sat cross-legged on the ground, her eyes tightly shut and brows slightly furrowed, clearly enduring a significant shock.
The sensation was both agonizing and exhilarating—like a suffocating person suddenly inhaling the freshest air, or a riverbed clogged for years being forcibly cleared!
As a titled Douluo, Xian Lin'er naturally knew how to channel the potency of the medicine and maximize its effects.
She needed no guidance from Ye Chen.
So Ye Chen simply waited quietly nearby, careful not to disturb Xian Lin'er while keeping watch outside to ensure no one entered.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each surge of energy struck the crack in her bottleneck like a giant hammer.
Then it began absorbing the nourishment of the medicinal power...
The soul power within her body also began circulating involuntarily, moving at an unprecedented speed and smoothness.
Advancing a single level as a Titled Douluo was incredibly difficult.
Especially the leap from Titled Douluo to Super Douluo was even more challenging.
Xian Lin'er had been stuck at level 94 for years.
Even with her exceptional talent, reaching the Super Douluo realm would still require at least another year or two.
But now, after the impact of the divine herb, that bottleneck was rapidly loosening.
"Hum..."
Suddenly, an aura far more potent and pure than before surged outward from Xian Lin'er's body like an invisible tidal wave!
The humming filled the entire laboratory, causing the space itself to seem slightly warped.
However, all the fluctuations and shockwaves were effortlessly absorbed by Ye Chen's spiritual domain.
"She's broken through!"
Ye Chen sensed the entirely different aura emanating from Xian Lin'er and felt a surge of joy.
Xian Lin'er had now completely broken through, reaching Level 95 and officially ascending into the ranks of Super Douluo, her combat power vastly enhanced.
Moreover, it wasn't over yet.
Xian Lin'er had been very close to Level 95 to begin with, and the energy contained within the Nine-Hearted Mystic Jade Ginseng was far from exhausted—it had likely consumed only two or three tenths of its total.
After breaking through the bottleneck, this torrent did not subside. Instead, it became more docile, like guided spring water, beginning to gently nourish Xian Lin'er.
The soul power aura radiating from her body gradually retracted from its violent azure hue, shifting toward a jade-green tone.
The glow was not blinding but rather warm and jade-like, casting a soft, gentle hue over the entire laboratory, which had been harshly illuminated by the soul-guided lights.
Xian Lin'er's cultivation was relatively strong, allowing her to absorb the divine herb at a faster rate.
Within a mere dozen minutes, the medicinal properties of the divine herbs were nearly entirely absorbed by Xian Lin'er.
Xian Lin'er's cultivation once again reached a peak, faintly touching the threshold of Level 96—roughly the late stage of Level 95!
She was essentially just a hair's breadth away from stepping into Level 96!
With focused cultivation, she should break through again within less than a year.
Though seemingly just a single level advancement, this leap from Level 94 to Level 95 represented a complete transformation.
In all likelihood, only divine treasures of the Immortal Herb's caliber could achieve such a feat.
The fluctuations of her soul power gradually subsided, the raging energy storm completely drawn back into her body.
The suffocating pressure vanished, replaced by a serene and peaceful atmosphere. A faint, almost imperceptible, refreshing scent of herbs and plants lingered in the air.
Xian Lin'er now seemed to have undergone a thorough and pure baptism of life.
She slowly opened her eyes, her gaze as clear as the melting streams of early spring—pure and unblemished.
An unprecedented radiance shone within them, all traces of bloodshot eyes and fatigue utterly vanishing.
Not only her eyes, but the faint, barely perceptible lines of fatigue that had once etched her face had now vanished completely.
Even the slightest trace of weariness from long nights of research had disappeared without a trace.
Beyond Ye Chen, he noticed a striking transformation in Xian Lin'er's complexion.
Her skin had grown even more radiant, glowing with a jade-like warmth and smoothness so flawless it seemed untouched, like freshly peeled lychees—plump and dewy.
A healthy blush naturally graced her cheeks, like the touch of the finest rouge—vivid yet refined.
Her jet-black hair, cascading like a waterfall, seemed even smoother and shinier. Each strand fell distinctively over her shoulders, gently swaying with her subtle breaths, adding a unique, soft elegance.
Her entire being radiated a refreshed, revitalized aura.
At this moment, Xian Lin'er appeared at least a year or two younger, yet the mature allure of a young woman grew ever more captivating.
"I... I've broken through... This Nine-Heart Mystic Jade Ginseng is truly miraculous!" Xian Lin'er remained unaware of her transformed appearance.
What she sensed most clearly was the breakthrough in her cultivation.
Though it was only a single level advancement, it saved her years of arduous training!
Such a precious treasure was absolutely priceless, yet Ye Chen had simply given it to her...
Moreover, all along, it had been her who supported and cared for Ye Chen.
While she'd always believed Ye Chen would repay her someday, she never imagined the repayment would be so immense—and so swift.
Xian Lin'er snapped back to reality and immediately noticed Ye Chen's unusual gaze. Instinctively touching her cheek, she asked, "Xiao Chen, why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
"Teacher, you look even more beautiful~"
Ye Chen smiled faintly, then produced a mirror and handed it to Xian Lin'er.
Xian Lin'er froze momentarily before glancing at her reflection in the mirror. Instantly, she stood rooted to the spot.
"This... this... this is me..."
Xian Lin'er covered her face, gently rubbing and touching her skin. Feeling its incredibly smooth, supple texture, she could only think she was dreaming...
Despite using vast quantities of rare treasures for beauty and rejuvenation, she could only maintain the appearance of someone in their thirties.
Now, she seemed to have returned to her twenties—not just in appearance, but even the vitality within her body felt younger and more vigorous!
This wasn't the enhanced vitality that came with cultivation advancement; it was pure, unadulterated rejuvenation!
Though she was only a year or two younger, the difference felt strikingly obvious to her!
"Teacher, you're getting prettier and prettier~"
Seeing Xian Lin'er's adorably dazed expression, Ye Chen couldn't resist any longer. He bent down, cupped her soft cheeks, and planted a kiss directly on her luscious red lips.
Hmm, it must be said—after consuming the divine herb, the taste had become richer and sweeter, completely transformed.
Ye Chen had intended to stop at a light kiss, but he seemed to get carried away. He pushed Xian Lin'er down...
"Mmm... Why are you pushing your luck..."
Xian Lin'er turned her head slightly, murmuring a soft complaint.
She had assumed Ye Chen was merely expressing his joy for her, expecting only a simple kiss. She hadn't anticipated this fellow would mount her directly.
Ye Chen said nothing, cupping Xian Lin'er's face as he pressed his lips against hers once more.
Xian Lin'er: ...
Xian Lin'er shot Ye Chen a gentle glare before wrapping her arms lightly around his neck...
