Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

```

In the quiet room, Wang Chen, who sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion, suddenly opened his eyes.

He stood up and walked into the outer room.

A Messenger Crane fluttered through the half-open window and hovered in front of him.

Wang Chen reached out and grabbed the Messenger Crane, unfolding it to read the message inside.

A look of delight immediately appeared on his face!

Without hesitation, he left home and hurried to the Four Seas Commerce Association.

The Crane Message was precisely from the Four Seas Commerce Association, notifying him that the Aperture Opening Pills he had ordered had arrived.

Wang Chen had been waiting for these two Aperture Opening Pills in Ten Thousand Cultivators City for nearly half a year!

Inside the Four Seas Commerce Association, he met with Steward Jin once again.

The latter invited Wang Chen to sit in the VIP room before ordering someone to bring over the Aperture Opening Pills.

The two Aperture Opening Pills were stored in two Spirit Jade Bottles; Wang Chen unscrewed one of the bottle caps, and a clear spiritual fragrance immediately enveloped him, invigorating his spirit!

The reputation of the Four Seas Commerce Association was commendable. After inspecting the two pills and finding no issues, Wang Chen immediately paid the remaining 30,000 Spirit Stones and completed the transaction.

"Luckily you placed your order early..."

Steward Jin said with a sigh, "The price isn't the same anymore!"

With the Aperture Opening Pills successfully acquired, Wang Chen was in a good mood, "What's the price now?"

Steward Jin said with a smile, "Our association is willing to buy them back for an additional 5,000 Low Spirits."

Wang Chen, "For both?"

Steward Jin, "Ten thousand for both!"

Wang Chen was astonished.

If the Four Seas Commerce Association was willing to buy back each pill for an additional 5,000, then they would surely sell them to others for an extra 10,000.

That means the Aperture Opening Pills, which were 30,000 each, were now at least 40,000!

The price was simply outrageous.

Perhaps sensing Wang Chen's thoughts, Steward Jin explained, "The price of the two main ingredients for making the Aperture Opening Pills has surged terribly, and it's estimated to rise even further after a while."

Wang Chen nodded.

He pondered that if he used only one Aperture Opening Pill to advance to the Purple Mansion, could he recoup much of his investment if he sold the spare after some time?

These weren't just pills; they were practically financial products!

When he returned home, he called Ye Feifan to his side.

"Master!"

Having practiced the Pure Yang Technique for nearly half a year and often drinking Dragon Tiger Strong Soul Soup, Ye Feifan's physique had noticeably become much stronger, exuding an imposing aura akin to a tiger's.

"I'm going to retreat to the Cave Mansion for a while."

Wang Chen told him, "You practice martial arts diligently at home."

Although Wang Chen never formally took Ye Feifan as his disciple, he always saw things through. Before leaving, he wanted to make sure to settle arrangements for the young lad at hand.

To conclude the karma between them.

Ye Feifan was actually a very good disciple, studying martial arts with great diligence and showing immense respect for Wang Chen.

Moreover, he had a natural talent for martial arts. In just a few months, he had already grasped the basics of the Pure Yang Technique and mastered another set of mundane martial arts that Wang Chen had taught him.

It was very likely that he would advance to the Innate Tier in the future!

Ye Feifan was startled, "Master, how many days will you be gone?"

Suddenly, he had a feeling that Wang Chen would never return after his departure!

Wang Chen said, "I'm not sure, I will return after my retreat is over."

Although Wang Chen had sensed the opportunity to Breakthrough Mansion a half-month ago, he was not entirely confident.

Heading to the North Mountain Cave Mansion for the retreat, Wang Chen first needed to adjust his state to optimum conditions, then take the Aperture Opening Pill and strike for the great realm of the Purple Mansion!

As for how long it would take, he truly did not know at the moment.

Ye Feifan looked pitiful, "Then, then I will practice hard. I will wait for you at home."

Wang Chen smiled and patted his head.

```

After making arrangements with Ye Feifan, Wang Chen once again left home and headed to the North Mountain Cave Mansion.

This time, he had rented a Purple Mansion Primary Tier cave dwelling!

The rent for a cave dwelling of the Purple Mansion Primary Tier was much more expensive than that of the high tiers of Qi Cultivation, costing a whole five hundred Lower Spirits a day.

It was truly a rip-off.

But for the sake of advancing to Purple Mansion, let alone five hundred, even if it cost a thousand or two thousand Spirit Stones, Wang Chen had to accept it.

Because the spiritual energy of the cave dwelling at the Qi Cultivation tier was hardly sufficient to support the needs of breaking through to the Mansion.

Save Spirit Stones, and at the critical moment, one might fail at the last step.

The loss would be too great!

Since Wang Chen didn't know how many days it would take for him to advance, he took out all his Spirit Stones and placed them with the managers of the Cave Mansion.

The fees would be deducted daily, until they ran out!

Wang Chen had prepared for a long time for this major realm advancement.

He planned to succeed in one fell swoop!

Entering the Purple Mansion Primary Tier cave dwelling, Wang Chen once again experienced the sensation of being "drunk on spiritual energy."

It took him two days to fully adapt to the environment of the cave dwelling.

Then he began sensing nature.

Sensing nature is a very important step before the Aperture Opening and the Mansion Breakthrough.

Although Wang Chen was attempting a major realm breakthrough for the first time, he had long since read through many Purple Mansion cultivators' ascension experiences, and he had even asked his master, Chang Chun, for advice before.

Therefore, Wang Chen was confident and proceeded steadily and methodically.

After entering meditation, and not knowing how much time had passed, he sensed the opportunity to puncture the aperture once more.

This feeling was incredibly wondrous, as if his Divine Soul were about to leave his body, yet it was blocked by an invisible barrier.

Under the impact of the Soul Power, his Apex Bone became even more loose and vibrated audibly.

At the same time, the spiritual energy suffusing the space around him spontaneously entered Wang Chen's body.

His cultivation level, which hadn't increased for a long time, actually started to slowly rise.

His mana quickly reached the limit that his Dantian could contain!

Now was the time!

Wang Chen suddenly opened his eyes and with a flick of his hand, removed the stopper from the Jade Vase in front of him.

A pill the size of a longan instantly flew out into the air, radiating a clear and bright Spiritual Light.

The next moment, Wang Chen opened his mouth and inhaled the Aperture Opening Pill.

As soon as the pill made contact with his saliva, it instantaneously turned into a spiritual syrup and flowed into his stomach.

The massive force of the medicine covered all his internal organs in an instant, permeating his meridians and reaching every limb and bone.

All the pores on his body opened at once, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy from the outside.

At this moment, Wang Chen had entered the state of "Spiritualization."

This meant that his skin, muscles, bones, and blood were completely soaked in spiritual energy, and all impurities were expelled along with his sweat, making him feel light as if he was about to ascend.

This feeling was so comfortable that one might wish it could last forever!

But if one truly indulged in it, the breakthrough would inevitably fail.

Many cultivators who had reached Qi Cultivation Perfection fell at this step of "Spiritualization" during their breakthrough attempt.

However, there was not the slightest fluctuation in Wang Chen's spirit. He simultaneously mobilized his mana and the power of his Divine Soul, launching the final assault on the Apex Aperture.

For some reason, Wang Chen's Apex Bone was exceptionally tough and stubborn. Even though it was loosening to the point of breakage, it stubbornly resisted his attacks time and again.

After the eighth unsuccessful assault, Wang Chen unhesitatingly brought up his Immortal Cultivation interface.
