Unexpectedly, at that moment, Gu Baoyu rushed in from outside and immediately hugged the couple tightly.

"Dad, Mom, I know I was wrong! I will listen to you from now on. I will never hang out with those bad friends again. I will work hard and make you proud!" Gu Baoyu said, tears streaming down her face.

Gu Baoyu's words surprised and delighted Gu Chengyun and his wife; they could hardly believe it was true.

"Are you telling the truth? You've really turned over a new leaf?" Gu Chengyun asked hurriedly.

"Of course! A promise is a promise! I know you don't believe me, but that's okay, I'll prove it with my actions!" Gu Baoyu said emphatically, wiping away the tears on his face.

Gu Chengyun and his wife looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although she didn't know how those two mysterious people did it, her son had indeed reformed.

This is fantastic news!

This is the most important thing; everything else is insignificant in comparison!

"Good boy, good boy..."

Gu Baoyu's mother was so moved that she burst into tears, almost crying her eyes out.

Suddenly, Gu Baoyu's stomach rumbled loudly.

Gu Baoyu's mother then quickly said, "Baoyu, are you hungry? Go back to your room first, and I'll have the chef make you your favorite sweet and sour fish."

So Gu Baoyu left the hall.

Not long after, Ye Feng and Zhao Ruxue arrived together.

Upon seeing Ye Feng and Zhao Ruxue, Gu Chengyun was both surprised and delighted. He strode up to them and bowed deeply.

"Thank you both so much for helping my son turn over a new leaf!" Gu Chengyun said gratefully, tears streaming down his face.

"Enough with the nonsense, Patriarch Gu. Your son has turned over a new leaf, so now you should hand over the Purple Flower Spirit Grass to us," Ye Feng said.

"Yes, yes, I'll send someone to fetch the Purple Flower Spirit Grass right away."

Gu Chengyun said quickly, then called for the steward to fetch the Purple Flower Spirit Grass.

Ten minutes later, a beautiful wooden box appeared in front of Ye Feng.

Ye Feng took the small box from Gu Chengyun's hand and opened the lid, revealing three very well-preserved Purple Flower Spirit Herbs.

"How is the condition?" Zhao Ruxue asked.

“Very good,” Ye Feng said with a smile.

Then Ye Feng collected all three Purple Flower Spirit Herbs, cupped his hands in greeting to Gu Chengyun, and said, "Patriarch Gu, we'll meet again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng teleported Zhao Ruxue away, disappearing from Gu Chengyun and his wife's sight.

"Truly a divine being."

Gu Chengyun sighed, and his wife nodded repeatedly.

Upon returning to Tianhua Cave, Ye Feng went to the Pill Workshop and directly refined the Heavenly Fate Purple Flower Pill in front of Zhao Ruxue.

Night Breeze sat on the ground and with a wave of his hand, all the medicinal herbs fell into the alchemy furnace.

As the night wind cast its alchemy incantation, the alchemy furnace burst into flames.

This raging fire is no ordinary flame, but a flame of true energy, extremely hot, and also contains spirituality.

Meanwhile, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth was already gathering towards the alchemy furnace.

The medicinal essence of the herbs is extracted, while impurities are turned into ashes.

Ye Feng executed this entire set of movements with practiced ease and mastery, leaving Zhao Ruxue dumbfounded.

"Mr. Ye's alchemy skills are unmatched in this world!" Zhao Ruxue said admiringly.

"You flatter me."

"Night Breeze said softly."

About two hours later, the Heavenly Mandate Purple Flower Pill was successfully refined.

The three Purple Flower Spirit Herbs mean that Ye Feng has three chances, and it doesn't matter if he fails twice.

But now that Ye Feng succeeded on his first try, the remaining two Purple Flower Spirit Herbs naturally belonged to him.

However, the Purple Flower Spirit Grass was nothing special to Ye Feng, and he didn't care about it at all.

"I don't need to teach you what to say when you meet the sect leader, do I?" Ye Feng said.

"nature."

Zhao Ruxue nodded quickly.

“Then let’s go and see the sect leader now,” Ye Feng said.

So Zhao Ruxue and Ye Feng left the alchemy workshop together and headed deep into Tianhua Cave.

Upon arriving at the cultivation cave of Chen Lingyue, the head of the Tianhua Sect, Zhao Ruxue bowed and reported, "Sect Leader, we have obtained three Purple Flower Spirit Grasses from Gu Chengyun, the head of the Gu family in Da'an City!"

"After we brought back the Purple Flower Spirit Herb, Feng Ye refined the Heavenly Fate Purple Flower Pill in the alchemy workshop. Although he failed twice and wasted two Purple Flower Spirit Herbs, he finally succeeded on the third attempt."

Zhao Ruxue said that Ye Feng failed twice and succeeded on the third try because it would seem more realistic that way.

Feng Ye, the identity of Ye Feng, is merely a True Essence Realm martial artist and a seventh-grade alchemist.

The Heavenly Mandate Purple Flower Pill is an eighth-grade spiritual pill.

It's highly suspicious that Ye Feng succeeded in refining it on his first try, which is why Zhao Ruxue said that.

As expected, Chen Lingyue was both surprised and delighted upon hearing Zhao Ruxue's words. Without the slightest doubt, she immediately said, "Quickly, quickly, give me the Heavenly Mandate Purple Flower Pill."

"Yes, Sect Leader."

Ye Feng took out the Heavenly Fate Purple Flower Pill from his storage ring. Chen Lingyue waved her right hand, and the pill flew from Ye Feng's hand toward her.

Holding the Heavenly Mandate Purple Flower Pill, Chen Lingyue's face flushed with joy.

“Very good, very good. Feng Ye, you have done a great job. What reward do you want?” Chen Lingyue asked.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "I am now an outer disciple of our Tianhua Sect. It is my duty to serve the sect. How could I dare to accept a reward? I will be satisfied as long as you recover from your injuries, Sect Leader."

"You're really good with words."

Chen Lingyue smiled and continued, "No matter what, you have made great contributions, and I cannot leave without showing my appreciation. Otherwise, it would discourage the disciples in the sect. How about this, from now on you will be a core disciple of our Tianhua Sect!"

Above the outer disciples are the inner disciples, and above the inner disciples are the core disciples.

Chen Lingyue promoted Ye Feng to a core disciple, which means that Ye Feng skipped the inner disciple stage and advanced two levels!

If it were any other Tianhua Sect disciple, they would probably be incredibly excited by now.

But Ye Feng's heart remained completely calm, without the slightest ripple.

However, in order not to arouse Chen Lingyue's suspicion, Ye Feng still pretended to be excited and said, "Thank you, Sect Leader!"

"No need for formalities, you may all leave," Chen Lingyue said.

After Zhao Ruxue and Ye Feng came out of Chen Lingyue's cultivation cave, she took Ye Feng to register.

So Ye Feng changed into the robes of a core disciple of the Tianhua Sect and obtained the core disciple token.

“Let’s continue tonight,” Night Wind said.

"Yes." Zhao Ruxue nodded.

Zhao Ruxue knew what Ye Feng meant by "continue tonight"—to continue breaking the restrictions!
