A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

Lin Qinshuang's cries echoed in my ears...

At this moment, she was completely devoid of her previous arrogance.

After being refined within the Purple-Gold Gourd for several hours, her cultivation was completely dissipated, causing her to experience unprecedented fear...

I might die here!

Driven by the threat of death, Lin Qinshuang had no choice but to lower her proud head and beg Ye Chen for mercy, even at the cost of anything...

Ye Chen looked at her disheveled appearance and a slight smile flashed across his face.

"Senior Sister Lin, that's not what you said before..."

"I remember you said you were going to kill me, so I won't let you out."

Hearing this, Lin Qinshuang's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth in anger, but dared not retaliate. She could only suppress her anger and say in a wronged tone.

"Junior brother, I promise I'll never do it again, please forgive me!"

"If you just let me out, I'm willing to serve you like a slave..."

"I have lost all my cultivation now, I am no match for you, please spare my life..."

She was terrified. Lying in the murky liquid, she could clearly feel her body being refined every moment. Not only would she lose her cultivation, but she might even be reduced to ashes.

She witnessed her own spirit sword being completely destroyed...

Ye Chen shook his head and refused Lin Qinshuang's request without hesitation.

"Senior Sister Lin, I don't really like using other people's leftovers..."

"You'd better just stay inside the gourd!"

He could only be at ease if Lin Qinshuang died inside the Purple Gold Gourd; if she came out and talked nonsense, he would be hunted down by the Qingyun Sect.

"You bastard, let me out, or I'll haunt you even in death..."

"You little brat, you'll get what's coming to you!"

Lin Qinshuang couldn't hold back any longer and started hysterically cursing.

Ye Chen ignored it, and just as he was about to look away, he suddenly caught sight of the storage bag floating on the turbid spiritual liquid...

"This is really good stuff..."

His eyes lit up, and he immediately activated his mind.

The next second, the storage bag in the spiritual liquid disappeared and ended up in Ye Chen's hand.

He immediately stuffed the purple-gold gourd back into his palm.

Only then did he look down at the storage bag in his hand. Luckily, he discovered it in time; otherwise, it would have been such a waste to refine all the good stuff inside...

Having learned from his previous experience, he directly opened the storage bag in his hand, communicated with it using his mind, and the scene inside the storage space immediately appeared in his mind...

There were a dazzling array of bottles and jars, a pile of crystal-clear stones, and several talismans, swords, and magical artifacts, but not a single magical treasure was seen.

At this moment, Ye Chen saw a cultivation manual among them. He took it out and saw that it was exactly the same as the introductory Qi cultivation manual he had obtained before.

"It seems that every outer disciple has a copy of this kind of Qi cultivation technique..."

Ye Chen quickly lost interest in the cultivation manual; something everyone had was clearly not a good thing...

Moreover, he tried to use this Qi-refining technique several times but couldn't sense the surrounding spiritual energy, so he felt that the technique was no good.

His gaze fell upon the bottles and jars in the storage bag...

"These must be the elixirs that cultivators take, right?"

"Maybe this stuff will work?"

Ye Chen muttered to himself, immediately becoming interested, and took out more than a dozen bottles of pills.

When the cork was pulled out, a medicinal fragrance wafted out, which was intoxicating.

He didn't care how many pills he ate at once; he tilted his head back and poured the entire bottle of pills into his mouth, chewed a few times, and swallowed them...

Each pill transformed into a warm current, flowing through the entire body, limbs, and bones, finally converging in the dantian and gradually dissipating into nothingness.

Ye Chen felt his body heat up, as if his blood was burning. This feeling was fleeting, but it filled him with power...

He clenched his fist tightly and slammed it down onto the large bluestone...

"Bang!"

"Snap!"

A crack suddenly appeared on the large bluestone...

Then came the second, then the third, and spiderweb-like cracks immediately appeared on the smooth bluestone surface...

"this..."

Ye Chen was overjoyed.

He could clearly feel the power of that punch, which was much stronger than before, at least several hundred kilograms more force.

Although he still couldn't sense the presence of spiritual energy, the change in power made him very happy.

"This elixir is indeed a good thing..."

He couldn't wait any longer and grabbed another bottle of pills. Just like before, he tilted his head back and gulped the whole bottle down his throat, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it...

These pills are so easy to swallow that they don't cause any choking, and in an instant they transform into a warm current that flows through the body's meridians.

The intense heat returned, even stronger than before, as if fire was burning inside my bones, making a crackling sound...

"It hurts so much..."

Ye Chen frowned slightly, gritted his teeth and endured it, wondering if he had been poisoned.

Fortunately, the burning sensation subsided quickly, and a gust of cold wind made me feel much more comfortable.

He immediately stretched his muscles and felt much lighter than before, and his clenched fists felt stronger...

Suddenly, a foul, fishy smell wafted over...

"Huh? What smells so bad?"

Ye Chen looked down and realized the stench was coming from himself; his arms were covered in a layer of black, sticky filth. His eyes widened in surprise...

"This elixir also has the effect of cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the bones?"

"No wonder cultivators are so powerful, they eat so well..."

Suddenly, the burning sensation I felt earlier didn't seem so bad anymore, and I almost wished it could happen again...

He looked down at the remaining porcelain bottles in front of him, uncorked each one, and glanced inside. Unfortunately, the pills inside were different from the previous ones, and their effects were obviously different as well.

Ye Chen rubbed his swollen belly. He felt bloated from taking too many pills, and he really couldn't eat anymore.

"Never mind, let's eat it tomorrow..."

He muttered something, waved his hand to put all the pills in front of him into his storage bag, and put them into his pocket.

Feeling sticky and uncomfortable all over, Ye Chen decided to walk towards the nearby mountain stream, where there was flowing water, perfect for taking a bath.

As you get closer, you can faintly hear the gurgling sound of the stream flowing...

"It's so late, they probably wouldn't come here, would they?"

Ye Chen looked around and, in the soft moonlight, saw only groves of bamboo forests, completely deserted.

Feeling reassured, he took off his coat as he walked, hiding the storage bag in the pile of clothes. When he reached the stream, he placed it on a rock and eagerly plunged into the water...

A chilling sensation instantly spread throughout my body!

"Ah, that feels so good..."

Ye Chen exhaled a breath of stale air, immersing himself in the stream to wash away the sticky filth, his face immediately showing enjoyment...

Just then, I faintly heard the sound of footsteps...

Looking up, I saw a figure emerging from the bamboo grove not far away.

As they drew closer, the moonlight bathed her, illuminating a face of serene and exquisite beauty...

Wearing a long white dress, her robes fluttered in the cold wind, making her look like a fairy from the Moon Palace.

Ye Chen was so engrossed in watching that he didn't notice the woman taking off her clothes...

By the time he realized what was happening and wanted to warn them, a wave had already splashed up on the water!

"Thump!"

Oh no!!!
