Chapter 281 I left my son without a penny!
Chen Ye simply did the opposite. Instead of helping Sheng Yunqi or showing favors to Sheng Yunqi, he let Sheng Yunqi help him and show favors to him.
When a superior shows favor to someone, he will naturally think that the other person will never dare to betray him again, so he will trust this person with more confidence.
Chen Ye also expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Sheng Yunqi many times, although his main purpose was to show that he was willing to go through fire and water for his brother Sheng Yunqi, so as to prevent Sheng Yunqi from showing too much favor and treating him as a younger brother or subordinate.
But Chen Ye also instinctively and subconsciously made the choice that was best for himself.
How could Sheng Yunqi know that he thought he was simply helping a friend, but Chen Ye had so many calculations behind the scenes?
When he saw Chen Ye bowing to him to express his gratitude, he was just happy that he did not help the wrong person and did not care much about Chen Ye's gratitude.
After all, he provided help to Chen Ye as the young master of the Sheng family. Chen Ye wanted to repay him, but what could a mere Qi Refining cultivator give him in return?
Not only that, Sheng Yunqi also said: "I have foundation-building pills at home. I will send someone to the family's alchemy hall to get a bottle of foundation-building pills for you. I wish you a breakthrough to the foundation-building stage soon."
Chen Ye showed even more gratitude, and said: "After I break through the foundation-building stage, I will be more confident that I can help Brother Sheng."
He said this as if he had broken through the foundation-building stage just to be more capable of helping Sheng Yunqi, which really moved Sheng Yunqi.
After Sheng Yunqi left Chen Ye, he actually sent someone to the family's alchemy hall to ask for the foundation-building pill.
Foundation-building pills are quite precious in the outside world, but they can only be regarded as standard resources within the Nascent Soul forces. The alchemists employed by the Nascent Soul forces can even supply the pills needed for the cultivation of Golden Core-stage cultivators, let alone the Foundation-building pills needed by Qi Refining-stage cultivators.
However, the Sheng family's foundation-building pills are supplied on demand. Only those young cultivators at the peak of the Qi-refining stage who are not sure they can break through the foundation-building stage can apply to the Alchemy Hall with their merit points. Only after the application is approved will the family arrange for an alchemist to refine the foundation-building pills and then distribute them.
Sheng Yunqi is the young master of the family. He came in person to ask for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the head of the Alchemy Hall did not dare to neglect him.
Because Si Yuan had already given the order in advance, if Sheng Yunqi wanted to use any family resources, he had to report to him first, and only after his approval could he give the resources to Sheng Yunqi.
Therefore, the head of the Alchemy Hall reported to Si Yuan the news that Sheng Yunqi had sent someone to ask for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Master, the young master has already established his foundation. I don't know why he came to the Alchemy Hall to ask for the foundation-building pill."
Si Yuan said calmly, "It should be for his good friend. His good friend is at the peak of the Qi Refining Stage and needs the Foundation Establishment Pill to break through."
The Alchemy Hall Master finally understood his doubts and asked respectfully, "Master, do you want me to give it to you?"
Si Yuan pondered for a moment. In the original plot, Chen Ye broke through on his own without using the Foundation Establishment Pill. But now Chen Ye wants to use the Foundation Establishment Pill to break through. It is very likely that Chen Ye does not know that it is not necessary to use the Foundation Establishment Pill to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage when one reaches the peak of Qi Refining.
There is a big gap in strength between the Foundation Establishment Period that is broken through by the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Foundation Establishment Period that is broken through independently.
In that case, what's wrong with giving it to him? Anyway, this is what Chen Ye wanted.
Si Yuan nodded and said, "Then give it to me. It's a rare opportunity to bring a friend home. It's just a few foundation-building pills, which is nothing."
The head of the Alchemy Hall took the order and left, sending a bottle of Foundation Establishment Pill in stock to Sheng Yunqi.
After Sheng Yunqi got the Foundation Establishment Pill, he immediately handed it to Chen Ye.
Chen Ye was extremely excited when he saw the bottle full of ten Foundation Establishment Pills.
These are ten foundation-building pills. Even if he is useless, he can still break through to the foundation-building stage with the help of these ten foundation-building pills.
Chen Ye and Sheng Yunqi have been together for the past few days and have experienced enough about the gap and treatment between the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Qi Refining Stage outside.
After all, every time Chen Ye saw the completely different treatments people gave to himself, a Qi Refining cultivator, and Sheng Yunqi, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it was hard for him not to take it to heart.
Sheng Yunqi saw Chen Ye so excited and happy, and knew why he was happy. Recalling the joy he felt when he first started to break through the foundation-building stage, a smile appeared on his face: "Brother Chen, hurry up and go into seclusion to break through. It is safe to practice in seclusion at the Sheng family."
However, Chen Ye was not in a hurry to go into seclusion to break through. After all, he had already obtained the ten foundation-building pills, so there was no need to be too anxious. He ignored Sheng Yunqi, the big money sponsor.
So he first entertained Sheng Yunqi with great hospitality, and then went into seclusion on his own at Sheng Yunqi's urging.
Chen Ye planned not to come out of his retreat this time until he broke through the foundation-building stage.
It is a rare opportunity to break through in a very safe place without having to worry about being disturbed or encountering external enemies. Of course, he must concentrate on breaking through to the foundation-building stage and will not give up until he succeeds.
Chen Ye took out the bottle of Foundation Establishment Pill that Sheng Yunqi gave him and poured out a Foundation Establishment Pill into his palm.
The foundation-building pill was not big. The light green pill seemed to emit a faint halo, and a refreshing fragrance that penetrated the heart wafted into the nose. It was obviously a foundation-building pill of excellent quality.
Pills of poor quality will not have this refreshing fragrance.
As expected, the elixir comes from the young master of the Sheng family, it is indeed good.
Chen Ye couldn't wait to swallow the Foundation Establishment Pill. It melted in his mouth. The strong medicinal power flowed into his body through his throat and spread to his limbs, bones and meridians.
Chen Ye immediately felt the opportunity for a breakthrough and began to practice his skills to break through the foundation-building stage.
The breakthrough process was smoother than he had imagined, so smooth that it was almost unbelievable, and it felt like a natural outcome.
A trace of doubt flashed through Chen Ye's mind, but he quickly put it behind him, and his heart was filled with endless joy for the successful breakthrough.
Feeling his powerful cultivation base at the Foundation Establishment Stage, Chen Ye felt that he was dozens of times stronger than when he was at the peak of the Qi Refining Stage. He could now beat dozens of his past selves.
Chen Ye was also grateful from the bottom of his heart to Sheng Yunqi for giving him the Foundation Establishment Pill.
He looked at the remaining nine Foundation Establishment Pills and thought about the price they were sold for outside nowadays. He really wanted to steal these nine Foundation Establishment Pills. However, considering that the Sheng family's members might be able to recognize the Foundation Establishment Pills they were made by themselves, it would be difficult for him to sell them even if he stole them.
After coming out of retreat, Chen Ye took out the remaining nine foundation-building pills and returned them to Sheng Yunqi: "Brother Sheng, the foundation-building pills you gave me are so effective that I successfully built my foundation with just one pill. I have nine left, so I'll return them to you, Brother Sheng."
Chen Ye took this opportunity to establish himself as someone who would never take advantage of others. Even if a good brother had given him a precious elixir that belonged to him, he would return it to his brother if he had not used it up.
Sheng Yunqi's reaction was exactly what he expected: "It's just a few foundation-building pills. Just keep them and you can exchange them for other cultivation resources later."
As the young master of the Sheng family, Sheng Yunqi certainly would not take a few Foundation Building Pills seriously. Even though he did not have many spirit stones on him when he went out for training before, and the money he earned from killing monsters could not even buy one Foundation Building Pill, this did not prevent him from not truly realizing the value of the Foundation Building Pills.
If these nine foundation-building pills were exchanged for spirit stones, Sheng Yunqi might still hesitate. After all, he had truly experienced how difficult it was to earn spirit stones.
But he had never experienced how hard it was to earn spirit stones to buy foundation-building pills, nor had he experienced the difficulty of always failing in refining foundation-building pills himself.
That's why he could so easily say that he would give Chen Ye nine Foundation Establishment Pills that many Qi Refining cultivators coveted but could not obtain.
But this was not unexpected by Chen Ye. Chen Ye had known for a long time that would the young master of the Sheng family have the nerve to ask for back the gift he had given away?
Chen Ye pretended to refuse several times and insisted on returning the nine Foundation Establishment Pills to Sheng Yunqi.
Sheng Yunqi originally wanted to reject all of them, but then he changed his mind and realized that Chen Ye had never wanted anything from him by being friends with him, nor did he want to take advantage of him. Chen Ye had a strong self-esteem, and if he didn't accept them, Chen Ye might feel very embarrassed.
So when Chen Ye insisted on returning the nine foundation-building pills to him for the third time, Sheng Yunqi agreed...
Chen Ye was stunned. Why did he agree?
As the young master of the Sheng family, how could you have the nerve to take back the things you gave him?
Sheng Yunqi was actually quite embarrassed, but it was okay for him to make this sacrifice for his good friend.
Anyway, they are both good friends, so there is no need to care too much about face in front of good friends.
Sheng Yunqi felt that he was doing this for Chen Ye's own good and was taking back the Foundation Establishment Pill he had given away for Chen Ye's sake.
After being stunned for a moment, Chen Ye reacted quickly without showing any dissatisfaction or unhappiness. He smiled and stuffed the jade medicine bottle containing nine foundation-building pills into Sheng Yunqi's hand, saying, "That's right. You gave me the foundation-building pills to help me break through the foundation-building stage, which has already helped me a lot. If I don't return the remaining nine foundation-building pills to you, wouldn't I be taking advantage of you? Although there is a big gap between our statuses and you are much richer than me, I am making friends with you because of you, not because of your status and money..."
Chen Ye poured another pot of magic potion into Sheng Yunqi's heart, and in Sheng Yunqi's mind, he established a sincere character of "I am sincere in making friends with you, not trying to gain anything from you" that was quite beautiful and solid.
Sheng Yunqi believed it so firmly that he took the nine foundation-building pills back.
