Upon hearing Yun Si Ning's words, Shen He did not hesitate and directly admitted it.
"To be honest, young lady, I am only one step away from breaking through to the Dragon Marrow Realm."
"I have prepared almost all the pills needed for the breakthrough, except for this Soul Tempering Pill."
"I spent five whole years trying to find enough Soul Tempering Pills, but I still haven't succeeded."
No wonder.
Yun Si Ning now understood why he was so agitated.
Breaking through from the peak of the Serpent Core Realm to the Dragon Marrow Realm may seem like a single step, but it is something many people cannot achieve in their entire lives.
"Thank you so much, young lady!"
Shen He stood up and bowed deeply to Yun Si Ning.
"This medium-quality Soul Tempering Pill from you, young lady, can greatly increase my chances of successfully breaking through."
"If I succeed in breaking through in the future, this bottle of pills from you will be indispensable."
Breaking through the Dragon Marrow Realm is extremely difficult, even by just one percent.
This bottle of Soul Tempering Pill from Yun Si Ning is really important to him.
"Brother Shen, you don't need to be so polite."
Seeing his polite manner, Yun Si Ning felt less distant.
"Brother Shen, how long will it take you to break through to the Dragon Marrow Realm?"
"ah?"
Shen He was taken aback, as if he understood what she meant.
"What does the young lady want to do..."
"Um."
Yun Si Ning nodded.
"If you can break through first before taking action, our chances of success will be much higher."
Chen He pondered for a moment before speaking.
"If we leave the city now and find a suitable place for seclusion..."
"If all goes well, we should be able to break through within twenty days."
"The 20th?"
Yun Si Ning looked somewhat troubled.
Chai Yanchen only stayed in Fenglin City for three days, while Shen He needed twenty days to break through, so it was clear that he couldn't make it in time.
Should we give up and let him break through first?
Yun Si Ning, however, was not entirely willing to give up.
"Oh, right."
Yun Si Ning suddenly asked in confusion.
"Why do you want to go outside the city? Can't you just stay here and cultivate in seclusion?"
"Ha ha."
He smiled as he sank into the river.
"Miss Ning is probably unaware that there will be extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth when one breaks through to the Dragon Marrow Realm."
"If I were to break through within Fenglin City, it would inevitably attract attention from all sides."
"I see."
Yun Si Ning fell into deep thought.
She now has to make an immediate decision: whether to let Shen He break through first, or to proceed as originally planned.
Not long after, Yun Si Ning made her decision.
"Brother Shen, can you start your breakthrough immediately?"
"Are you really going to do this?"
It's hard to believe that he sank into the river.
"Girl, aren't you afraid I'll run away after I break through to the Dragon Marrow Realm?"
"Don't worry, I trust Brother Shen."
Yun Si Ning smiled at him, revealing her bright white teeth.
Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust.
Since Yun Si Ning has decided to ask Shen He for help, she will give him a certain amount of trust.
Even so, Shenhe was still somewhat moved by her actions.
Generally, the reward for an assassination mission is only given to him after the mission is completed.
This time, however, the other party not only gave him the Soul Tempering Pill ahead of time, but also allowed him to break through ahead of schedule.
"There's no time to lose, I'll set off from the city now."
He stood up again after sinking into the river.
"Oh right, I forgot to ask."
Yun Si Ning suddenly remembered something very important.
"Brother Shen, what are your chances of successfully breaking through?"
Seriously, what if I wait for twenty days, only to find that the other person failed to break through and died?
"With your Saint-level Soul Tempering Pill, it's probably... over 80% effective."
"Absolutely, that's acceptable."
It's important to know that breaking through to the Dragon Marrow Realm is the stage with the highest mortality rate.
The fact that the probability can be kept above 80% shows that Shenhe himself has made ample preparations.
"There's no time to lose. Contact me immediately after you successfully break through."
Yun Si Ning took out her communication jade talisman.
The two established a communication link and then emerged from the dark room.
"Brother Chen, how did you two talk..."
"I'll be away for a while, so you should close your shop during that time."
Before the man could react, he saw Yun Si Ning and Shen He walking out together.
"Miss Ning, I'll take my leave now."
"I wish Brother Shen success."
Yun Si Ning also said with a smile.
After saying this, the two walked in different directions and disappeared into the night.
"Master, wasn't that person only going to stay here for three days?"
On the way back to the restaurant, the little lime in his sleeve asked.
"Therefore, we need to find a way to stall him, at least for twenty days."
Yun Si Ning said.
"How do we do it?"
"First, we need to figure out his purpose, and then..."
As she was talking, she suddenly paused.
A person is walking briskly towards us from the street not far away.
"It was him?"
Yun Si Ning was somewhat surprised and immediately walked to a stall on the side, pretending to look down and select goods.
The person walked very fast and didn't notice Yun Si Ning at all.
After he passed by, Yun Si Ning turned around to look.
That man was the same shop assistant I had seen at the Golden Pavilion not long ago.
What's the rush at this hour?
Remembering that Chai Yanchen had just visited the Golden Pavilion, Yun Sining had a guess in her mind.
Chai Yanchen went to the Golden Pavilion, most likely because he had some kind of commission. Could it really be related to him?
With that thought in mind, she no longer hesitated and quietly followed them.
To avoid being noticed, she dared not get too close.
Soon, the man walked out of Fenglin City.
