[Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking the common sense by refining an Earth-grade natural flame at the fourth stage of the Qi Gathering realm!]
[As a reward for this achievement, you have been awarded with ten Earth-grade fishing chances!]
A sweet voice rang out in Ye Chen's head as soon as the refinement process was complete.
'There is a reward for this?' He questioned in his heart with a surprise, as he hadn't read anything related to this in the system notes.
It was when the system decided to explain.
[As long as the host does something that breaks the common sense or as long as the host gets stronger by other methods, the host will be rewarded for it appropriately!]
The sweet, cold voice rang clearly in his ears.
Hearing the explanation, Ye Chen was surprised and was just about to enquire; a cold sensation suddenly covered his body.
When he opened his eyes, he saw his body enveloped in a green Qi, which healed his injuries at a rapid rate.
"Just let the 'Life Qi' enter your body; this will heal all your internal injuries." Zhen Yunqi advised as she threw more spirit stones and healing pills in the formation.
In response, Ye Chen nodded, not rejecting her help.
Just now he had used all his spiritual Qi to refine the ice flame; because of it, he was unable to defend himself and received some internal injuries.
Although they were light, it was good to treat them as soon as possible, so he let the life Qi enter his body, which healed all his injuries within a minute.
After this, Zhen Yunqi took back the formation, only to see a figure rushing towards him.
"Senior brother, are you okay?" Li Mei inquired with concern as she checked on his body to see if he was healed or not.
Watching her like this, Ye Chen pinched her soft cheeks.
"Don't worry, I am fine," he assured with a smile.
He wanted to tease her, but seeing her worried look, he decided not to and got up to get dressed.
Li Mei and Zhen Yunqi couldn't help but blush at this; however, they didn't look away.
"There are other rooms in the courtyard you can live inside any until then I will fix this," Zhen Yunqi suggested as she looked at the half-burnt room.
However, Ye Chen shook his head, rejecting her suggestion.
"Yunqi, you should obtain the special physique first, as it will take one or two days because your cultivation is higher; moreover, you will also have a breakthrough, which will take a few days more, so don't waste time on this," he stated.
Hearing him Zhen Yunqi was stunned, and before she could say something, Ye Chen grasped her delicate hand along with Li Mei's.
"Let's go, we should talk outside; it's all burnt here," he said, pulling the two beauties out of the room.
Li Mei was used to getting dragged by him, so except pouting at him, she didn't care.
However, this was not the case for Zhen Yunqi, whose mouth was twitching a little.
'This brat!' she thought with irritation as she felt like a kid who was getting led by her parents; however, she didn't say anything and silently followed with a serious look as she guessed what he wanted to do.
There was a big luxurious gazebo outside, and that's where Ye Chen took them before shamelessly taking a seat beside Li Mei.
"Yunqi I was planning to give you a special physique after I was done with pill refining, but since you already know about it, you can take this," he said, taking out the supreme ice louts from the red box.
"This is an ice lotus herb; all you need to do is eat this and mediate for some time. After that, you will gain a special physique. Also, the herb will help you break through one realm," he explained as he placed the lotus in front of her ignoring her shocked look.
She was, after all, not a naive Li Mei; at one glance, she knew this herb was something very rare and exceeded the grades of what she had seen.
However, she still didn't think this was something beyond Tier 9, as her knowledge was limited.
Nevertheless, it was enough to shock her even more than the existence of a spiritual mountain because Tier 9 herbs were extinct from a hundred thousand years ago.
Even the top-grade sects and kingdom only had some legends about it.
If such an herb appeared outside, there would be a big bloodbath and competition to acquire it; even friends and lovers might kill each other.
Yet he placed the herb in front of her like nothing; moreover, he gifted one to her naive disciple, who had no idea about what kind of herb she had consumed and was happily swinging her legs, thinking her master was going to have the same special physique as her's.
She couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm herself down.
There were a lot of questions in her mind; however, she suppressed them and looked at the herb with hesitation.
"This herb should be rare, right? Is it okay for me to take it without giving you anything in return?" She inquired, glancing at him with a doubt.
Although she wanted the ice lotus very much, she felt something was not right, especially since he didn't demand anything from her.
She wasn't naive like Li Mei and knew he must have some kind of purpose. It's just she couldn't figure out what it was.
Watching her like this, Ye Chen couldn't help but chuckle faintly.
'Yunqi, you aren't going to say no, so why hesitate?' He thought in his heart and spoke.
"You can take this herb without any problem. But of course, I need something in return; however, it will be in the future, so don't ask anything about it now," he replied with a mysterious smile.
Watching him like this, Zhen Yunqi was taken a back and glanced at Li Mei, wondering if she knew anything about his conditions.
However, Li Mei shook her head with a sulky look, as she too wanted to know this.
Watching her hesitating again Ye Chen shook his head and spoke.
"Yunqi, just take the ice lotus; it's not like I am going to ask for your life in return. Also, if you don't want this, just say no; I will give it to someone else," he stated with a shrug.
Hearing his words, Zhen Yunqi's heart skipped a beat.
"I am taking the ice lotus!" she replied hastily, throwing away her hesitation.
As for what he needed from her, she couldn't care too much.
If he said a word, there would be many people who would be willing to be mount because of this ice lotus, so what was a single condition in front of it?
Moreover, she was a cultivator who had gone through life and death; if she backs out here because of someone who was not even as strong as her, what would be the use of cultivating then?
So, she didn't care about her doubts anymore and took the box of ice lotus for herself.
Watching her like this, Ye Chen chuckled faintly and explained about the process of special physique.
It would take her one to two days, and he wouldn't be personally watching her as he had his things to do. Because of this, all he could do was explain the process to her so she wouldn't do something to stop it.
It didn't take too long, and he was finished within a minute. After this, Zhen Yunqi didn't delay and said a few more words to both before flying towards her retreat room.

"Senior brother, what are you doing in my room?" Li Mei inquired with a pout as she saw Ye Chen following her inside and treating it like his own spcae.
