You've been practicing the Dragon-Phoenix Art. I won't pursue that for now, but your progress has been too rapid.
I fear hidden dangers may hinder your future breakthroughs."
Her gaze softened with concern. She saw Ye Chen as the future of the Yunlan Sect and valued his growth greatly.
Ye Chen stiffened, realizing the truth in her words.
Both the Swallowing Origin Art and the Dragon-Phoenix Art were paths of swift advancement.
In less than two months, he had leapt from Nine-Star Fighter to a Three-Star Great Fighter. Such speed was indeed unnaturally fast.
"Teacher… do you have a solution?" he asked earnestly.
Yun Yun nodded. "I consulted Elder Gu He.
He once obtained an ancient pill recipe describing something called the Amethyst Pill. It may be the answer."
"The Amethyst Pill?" Ye Chen frowned, unfamiliar with the name.
"It's rare even in ancient records," Yun Yun continued. "According to the recipe, the Amethyst Pill is a special sixth-grade elixir.
It can cleanse the meridians, reshape one's foundation, and, most importantly, make up for flaws within the body.
With it, you can lay a solid base for future cultivation."
"If you can obtain and consume the Amethyst Pill, all hidden risks within your body will vanish.
From then on, even if you continue using the Dragon-Phoenix Art to climb in strength, no harm will remain."
The Amethyst Pill truly has such remarkable effects?"
Hearing Yun Yun's explanation, Ye Chen was taken aback.
"According to the ancient formula, this pill was something the great sects of antiquity prepared solely for their most gifted disciples.
Anyone who consumed it would possess exceptionally dense battle qi, strong enough to fight across realms with ease."
Clearly, Yun Yun had studied the matter carefully.
The pill recipe itself was priceless. To obtain it, she had even promised Elder Gu He that, in the future, she would accompany him on a journey into the Tagore Desert.
"Moreover," she continued, "the Amethyst Pill must be consumed before reaching the Dou Spirit realm and before the age of eightee.
Only then can its effects be fully realized."
Her gaze shifted to Ye Chen. With his current condition, this was the ideal time.
His talent was already extraordinary; if he were to take the pill, his future would become downright monstrous.
"Teacher, this pill must be incredibly difficult to refine .
It surely requires many rare ingredients, doesn't it?" Ye Chen asked, his heart stirred by the description.
Even though Yao Chen was an eighth-rank alchemist, he had never heard of this relic from an ancient era.
"You're right," Yun Yun said solemnly.
"Among the rare ingredients needed, the most critical is called the Violet Spirit Crystal."
Her expression grew heavier as she added, "The reason I called you back is because I intend to leave the sect for a time.
I'll search for the ingredients to refine the pill. While I'm gone, you, as Young Sect Master, will oversee the Yunlan Sect in my stead."
"The Violet Spirit Crystal?" Ye Chen stiffened, his eyes widening.
He might not know much about the pill, but he certainly knew about that crystal.
As someone who remembered the story of this world, he knew that Yun Yun was destined to fight the sixth-ranked magical beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, in order to seize that very crystal.
Defeated and sealed, she would later encounter Xiao Yan.
His heart grew conflicted.
He had assumed his arrival in this world had changed the original path of events.
Without the three-year duel, Yun Yun should never have needed to risk her life in the beast mountains.
Yet here it was happening. ....earlier than expected...because his own cultivation had advanced too quickly.
This truly caught Ye Chen off guard.
"What is it, Chen'er? Do you lack confidence in yourself?" Yun Yun asked, brows furrowed at his dazed look.
"You're the Young Sect Master now. One day the sect will be yours.
This is your chance to gain experience. Cherish it well."
Her words snapped Ye Chen back to reality. He nodded slightly.
"Teacher, rest assured. I will do my utmost to manage the sect properly."
Though he agreed, his mind raced with another plan.
At her current strength, Yun Yun might not even match the original timeline's power.
To face the Amethyst Winged Lion King would be walking into certain death.
Xiao Yan was still far away in Wu Tan City—he wouldn't be there to intervene.
That left only Ye Chen himself to protect her.
He clenched his fists, silently deciding: once Yun Yun left the sect, he would secretly follow and shield her from danger.
Ye Chen also privately wished that Yun Yun might one day bear his child.
"Teacher," he thought with a flicker in his eyes, "this time, without Xiao Yan, let me be the one to guard you."
Later, Yun Yun gathered the elders of the Yunlan Sect and explained her decision.
The authority of the sect was then handed over temporarily to Ye Chen.
Though surprised, the elders found this reasonable.
As Young Sect Master, it was only natural for him to take charge in her absence.
