A moment later, Jiang Chen stood up and quickly put his clothes back on, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Unfortunately, the key parts had all been seen by Bibi Dong. But seeing how calm Bibi Dong looked, Jiang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that after seeing certain things, Bibi Dong would be greatly stimulated, go berserk, and cut it off; that would be disastrous.
"Teacher, I'm done."
Bibi Dong turned around and found that Jiang Chen was glowing with health and vigor, having already returned to his peak condition. His aura was even stronger than before the tribulation.
A natural, invincible confidence emanated from Jiang Chen.
"Good!" Bibi Dong only said this one word, but it was enough to express how she felt at this moment.
She was very satisfied with Jiang Chen.
"Your hair…" Bibi Dong looked at Jiang Chen's long hair that reached the ground, feeling quite surprised.
"It's fine, I'm used to it." Jiang Chen gave a bright smile, took out a pair of scissors, and with a few snips, cut off the long hair.
Bibi Dong nodded. "Since the tribulation is over, let's go back."
"Okay."
Jiang Chen responded and released his Thunder Light Wings.
Bibi Dong said no more. Her figure soared into the sky, and Jiang Chen followed closely behind.
After being tempered by lightning and then restored, his soul power had become much more condensed than before. He could clearly fly a longer distance than earlier, but in the end, his soul power was completely exhausted, and he had to be carried by Bibi Dong as they flew.
When they emerged from the secret passage of the Pope's Palace, it was already noon.
"Little Chen, in the future, when you undergo tribulation, you must have your teacher protect you, understood?" Bibi Dong instructed.
"Mm, understood."
"You can go back now."
…
At this moment, inside Hu Liena's room, she had been sitting in a daze the entire night.
Ever since Jiang Chen said last night that he would never have any thoughts about her again, she had suffered a massive blow, and her mind was in complete chaos.
Even until now, she was still in a state of confusion.
"Where exactly am I inferior to her?" she kept murmuring to herself.
"My figure is better than hers, my charm is stronger."
"And most importantly, the one currently by Little Chen's side is me."
As she spoke, her eyes gradually became brighter. The dazed look disappeared, replaced by excitement.
"That's right! As the saying goes, 'the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first.' I'm with Little Chen every single day, how could I possibly lose to someone who's been gone for three years?"
"I, Hu Liena, dare to say that as long as I want to, I can have him at any time."
Recalling Jiang Chen's reactions to her in the past, Hu Liena felt more and more confident.
From the illusion in Jiang Chen's heart, she knew that Jiang Chen did like her; he just liked that other girl even more.
The powerful confidence that belonged to Hu Liena returned once again. She believed that she could definitely defeat the girl who had already been gone for three years.
She raised her hand and clenched it fiercely in the air, smiling wickedly:
"Little junior brother, you will never escape from your senior sister's grasp."
…
After leaving Bibi Dong's room, Jiang Chen's attention was completely focused on the system interface.
In the system inventory, a "Tribulation Crossing Gift Pack" had appeared.
Last time after crossing a tribulation, the gift pack only contained one drop of Thunder Tribulation Recovery Liquid, which had left him somewhat disappointed.
"I wonder what's inside this time?" Jiang Chen thought expectantly. With a thought, he opened the gift pack.
The gift pack disappeared, and more than a dozen items appeared in the inventory.
"So many?" Jiang Chen instantly became excited. This was the first time the system had rewarded him with so many items at once.
"Soul Ring Upgrade Coupon ×3, limited to levels 31–40." Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. The Soul Ring Upgrade Coupon had appeared again; this meant he could upgrade his first two soul rings to the ten-thousand-year level.
Suppressing his excitement, he continued looking downward. The remaining dozen or so items looked very unfamiliar; he had never seen them before.
When his consciousness focused on them, the items transformed into streams of information that imprinted themselves into his mind.
"Pei Yuan Dan: Effect, strengthens the foundation and cultivates the origin, increases potential, accelerates cultivation speed. Formula: … Refining method: … Precautions: …"
"Restore Yuan Dan: Effect, restores soul power to peak condition in a short time…"
"Strength-promoting and blood-activating pill: Effect, treats severe injuries…"
"Soul-burning pill: Effect, burns soul power to multiply attack power several times…"
"The elixir of rising heights: Effect, raises cultivation realm, no side effects…"
"Bi Gu Dan…"
"Zhu Yan Dan…"
"Nine-turn Resurrection Pill…"
As wave after wave of information flooded into his mind, Jiang Chen was stunned. His footsteps had unknowingly stopped, and he stood there frozen like a statue.
It wasn't until all the information was fully imprinted in his mind, several minutes later, that he finally let out a curse.
"Holy shit!"
This surprise was really… huge.
These dozen or so kinds of pills only existed in the xianxia fantasy novels of his previous life. He never expected they would become tribulation-crossing rewards from the system.
Looking at the various miraculous pills in his mind, Jiang Chen murmured:
"Damn… are these pills real or fake? If they're real, then I've really struck it rich."
In the Douluo Continent, everyone relied on martial souls and soul skills. The path of alchemy was almost completely undeveloped.
Even the medicinal pills Bibi Dong had given Jiang Chen before were crudely made; compared to the ones in his mind now, they were like heaven and earth.
In Jiang Chen's eyes, the current Douluo Continent had become a treasure garden filled with spiritual herbs everywhere.
No one recognized their value, so rare and precious spiritual herbs were surely extremely abundant. If the Spirit Hall could master these pill formulas, who on the Douluo Continent could stand against them?
Large numbers of powerful soul masters would surely emerge, and Spirit Hall's domination of the continent would be just a matter of time.
In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Chen's mind, and he realized the gravity of the situation.
A person who does not act for himself will be destroyed by heaven and earth. Since he already belonged to Spirit Hall, for his own sake, Jiang Chen was determined to ascend to the highest throne.
And these pill formulas could ensure that Spirit Hall would awe the world and prosper for generations.
He immediately had the urge to turn back and discuss detailed plans with Bibi Dong.
But then he quickly forced himself to calm down.
This matter was of utmost importance. He had to first transcribe all these formulas, come up with a reasonable explanation, and only then go find Bibi Dong.
As for refining pills himself, he had no such intention. His own martial soul was not suited for alchemy. Fire-attribute soul masters were the most suitable for pill refining.
Remembering that Bibi Dong had previously mentioned there was a group of pharmacists within Spirit Hall, Jiang Chen immediately had an idea.
While thinking about various plans, he unknowingly arrived back at his own dormitory.
He had been so focused that he didn't even notice there was an extra person in the room.
By the time he was tackled onto the bed, it was already too late.
Looking at Hu Liena pressing down on him, Jiang Chen's heart pounded wildly, almost suffocating.
That seductive fragrance, the enchanting aura, the astonishing softness, all of it relentlessly assaulted his fragile nerves.
"S-Senior… Senior Sister, what are you doing?" Jiang Chen stammered.
Seeing the dangerous look in Hu Liena's eyes, he panicked even more and hurriedly said:
"Senior Sister, I already said that from now on I won't have any thoughts about you…"
Hu Liena leaned down close to Jiang Chen's face and declared domineeringly:
"I, Hu Liena, hereby announce today that I allow you, Jiang Chen, to have any thoughts you want about me!"
Jiang Chen was completely dumbfounded…
