Wild Dogs

At this point, Qi Peilan clearly showed a hint of resentment.

Seeing this, Yang Fan was speechless for a moment.

He had thought that the encounter between the female nun and Qi Peilan would be a heartwarming one.

Unexpectedly, the female cultivator had only ever used Qi Peilan as a tool.

Yang Fan was somewhat surprised, then lowered his voice.

"So what happened after that?"

"What happened after that? Nothing much. She was extremely greedy."

"She used to be able to squeeze a lot of spirit stones out of me, so she went to various desolate places to recruit people."

"As a result, he was caught by evil cultivators while he was out and they made him into a human puppet."

Qi Peilan spoke with an indifferent expression.

Seeing this, Yang Fan felt relieved.

This female cultivator was clearly exploiting Qi Peilan, who had no feelings for her whatsoever.

That's understandable.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Fan continued grilling the meat.

Seeing that Qi Peilan was unhappy with the topic, Yang Fan immediately changed the subject.

He chatted with Qi Peilan about his cultivation progress.

As the two began to chat, Qi Peilan gradually opened up and started talking.

Yang Fan intentionally guided Qi Peilan and cooperated with her in everything.

Gradually, Qi Peilan became more and more talkative.

In the end, she also began to talk about some interesting things that happened during her cultivation.

For a moment, everyone was in high spirits.

After a while, Yang Fan finished grilling the meat and handed it to Qi Peilan.

"Here, have a taste, let's talk while we eat."

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan nodded.

At this moment, she looked at Yang Fan and felt that he was much more pleasing to the eye than before.

Then, she patted Yang Fan on the shoulder.

"By the way, you haven't told me about your situation yet."

"Judging from your tone, are you also a mortal who cultivated to become a cultivator?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan nodded.

"Yes."

Then, Yang Fan sighed and briefly recounted his experiences.

The content includes how someone who sold themselves into slavery eventually embarked on the path of cultivation.

Of course, Yang Fan omitted some key details.

Upon hearing that Yang Fan had once been a slave and was later controlled by a witchcraft curse, they learned that Yang Fan had been a slave to a woman.

Qi Peilan was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. She hesitated and looked Yang Fan over.

Seeing this, Yang Fan raised his eyebrows.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that I think it's really amazing that you were able to turn things around in this situation."

Qi Peilan became more and more appreciative as she spoke.

Upon seeing this, Yang Fan burst into laughter.

"There was no other way; if I hadn't turned over, I would have died here long ago."

Qi Peilan couldn't help but reach out and pat Yang Fan on the shoulder.

"You're quite capable; I admire you."

Because Chiperan knew just how difficult it was to rise from the ranks of ordinary people.

Therefore, she greatly admired Yang Fan's growth experience.

Yang Fan nodded slightly, but he didn't reveal some crucial information.

That is why he was able to grow up so quickly, thanks in large part to the help of that small cauldron.

If it weren't for that small cauldron, he would probably still be stuck in the Qi Refining stage.

"By the way, your aptitude should also be a Heavenly Spiritual Root, right?"

Qi Peilan looked at Yang Fan.

Seeing this, Yang Fan gave an awkward smile.

He wanted to tell the truth, but he was worried that explaining his spiritual root situation would arouse suspicion.

He could only nod helplessly.

"Yes, I also have a Heavenly Spiritual Root."

Qi Peilan burst into laughter.

"Back then, I was diagnosed with a water-attribute celestial spiritual root."

"You know what, quite a few people in the sect want to take me as their disciple."

At this point, Qi Peilan sighed.

"If that woman hadn't insisted on enslaving me, I might have actually been able to find a powerful master."

Hearing this, Yang Fan shook his head.

"Every drink and every bite has its own fortune; this might actually be a good thing."

Hearing this, Qi Peilan nodded.

You're right.

Then she snapped her fingers.

"How could I have forgotten about that?"

Then, with a wave of her hand, she grabbed her storage bag.

"Didn't you check my storage bag properly before?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan smiled slightly.

"Yes, I really didn't check it much."

Qi Peilan smiled gently, then rummaged around inside and pulled out a bottle of spirit wine.

She shook the spirit wine vigorously and looked at Yang Fan with a smile.

Yang Fan's eyes lit up when he saw this.

"Oh, do you want to drink?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan raised her eyebrows.

"Of course, this wine is called Hundred Fruit Wine, which I brewed using a hundred kinds of fruits."

"It contains several kinds of spiritual fruits, which are very helpful for cultivators to improve their strength and recover from injuries."

Then she used her spiritual energy to condense two ice cups.

She possesses a water-attribute celestial spiritual root, giving her exceptional control over water.

Then, under her control, two ice cups immediately appeared in front of her.

She poured Yang Fan a glass of wine.

Here, have a taste.

Seeing this, Yang Fan hesitated for a moment.

However, thinking of the blood pact between the two of them, he still picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Good wine, truly good wine."

After the wine entered his throat, a surge of spiritual energy immediately flowed to his limbs and bones.

Yang Fan couldn't help but loudly praise it.

"Right? I told you this was good wine. This is my own private brew."

"You should feel honored that no one else has tasted it."

Qi Peilan said smugly, and then poured Yang Fan a drink.

The two then drank and chatted while eating meat.

The atmosphere was quite harmonious for a time.

After a while, Qi Peilan looked Yang Fan over and suddenly chuckled.

Yang Fan was taken aback and looked at Qi Peilan with a puzzled expression.

"What's so funny about this?"

As he spoke, Yang Fan hurriedly touched his cheek, wanting to see if there was anything on his face.

Seeing this, Qi Peilan shook her head repeatedly.

She sighed.

"To be honest, when I first met you, I never imagined we'd be sitting here drinking together."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan sighed with emotion.

"Yes, back then we all treated each other like enemies."

"To be honest, I never expected we'd be able to have such a good time drinking together."

As he spoke, Yang Fan smiled and looked at Qi Peilan, their eyes meeting.

Qi Peilan slightly shifted her gaze, not daring to meet his eyes.

She then lowered her voice.

"To be honest, if it weren't for the blood pact, I would have killed you by now."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan nodded emphatically.

"I am absolutely certain of that. You are decisive and not one to hesitate."

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan nodded.

After a while, Qi Peilan looked away and spoke to Yang Fan in a low voice.

"So what are your plans next?"

Hearing this, Yang Fan scratched his head in surprise.

"Didn't we agree that I would stay here to recuperate while you refined the Heavenly Spirit Pill for me?"

"I want to break through to the Core Formation stage as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan shook her head.

"First, the Heavenly Spirit Pill I refined can certainly help you advance to the late Foundation Establishment stage."

"But advancing from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation isn't that simple."
