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

He poured twenty drops of spiritual liquid in a row...

The strange seed, originally the size of a fingernail, sprouted roots as thick as an arm. As it absorbed the spiritual liquid, it continued to grow taller, sprouting more and more branches and leaves, showing no sign of flowering or bearing fruit...

"You son of a bitch..."

Ye Chen sensed something was wrong and immediately stopped watering the sapling, gazing at it in deep thought as it sprouted in his hand...

He originally thought it was the seed of some kind of immortal herb, which would mature with just a dozen drops of spiritual liquid. Who would have thought it would be the seed of a sapling...

This isn't something that can be solved with just a dozen drops of spiritual liquid. If this were a seed from a towering tree, even if all the spiritual liquid in the purple-gold gourd were used up, it still wouldn't grow...

"Could this kid have deliberately put a seed in my storage bag to trick me?"

Ye Chen muttered to himself, looking at the sapling in his hand. He could vaguely sense a pure spiritual energy fluctuation, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary object...

He was curious, but knowing how much spirit liquid would be needed to grow the sapling, he decided to give up for now, storing it in his storage bag and planning to try again when he had a sufficient supply of spirit liquid...

At this moment, Ye Chen took out all the Spirit-Replenishing Pills he had obtained earlier, and together with Xie Huai'an's, he had a total of three hundred...

Having learned from his previous experience, Ye Chen generously added six drops of spiritual liquid to each Spirit Replenishing Pill this time...

The next second, the ordinary-looking second-grade pill suddenly shone with golden light, bursting open with pill patterns and emitting a rich medicinal fragrance...

The fragrance of just one Rank 6 pill filled the entire room.

When all three hundred Grade 6 Spirit-Replenishing Pills were formed, a rich medicinal fragrance filled the room, as if one were bathing in the aroma of the pills...

With each breath, I felt streams of pure spiritual energy being drawn into my body, making me feel completely refreshed...

Ye Chen looked down at the mountain of Grade 6 Spirit Replenishing Pills in front of him, his eyes shining. He couldn't wait to pick one up and put it in his mouth...

After all, the medicinal power of a sixth-grade pill is too strong, and he dared not take too many at once.

The elixir melted upon entering the mouth, transforming into a warm current that flowed into the body...

Ye Chen immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began refining the essence using the Supreme Induction Technique...

After successfully establishing the foundation, a square Dao platform within the dantian begins to operate rapidly, continuously absorbing pure spiritual energy to enhance cultivation...

Time passed second by second...

Ye Chen was completely immersed in cultivation, continuously consuming sixth-grade spirit-replenishing pills, and the number of pills in front of him was decreasing one by one...

The sky outside the window had darkened sometime earlier...

Lin Ningxue's calls echoed from outside the cave, but received no response...

"Strange... what is Senior Brother doing in his cave?"

"I haven't seen anyone all day..."

"Could he be in seclusion, cultivating in seclusion?"

Lin Ningxue frowned in confusion...

When I didn't see Ye Chen in the morning, I thought he would go to the spirit herb garden after waking up, but he still hadn't appeared by nightfall, so I couldn't help but feel a little worried...

I hope nothing bad has happened to my senior brother.

Just as Lin Ningxue was hesitating whether to break down the door, a female disciple suddenly walked over...

"Excuse me, is this... Senior Brother Xu's cave dwelling?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ningxue turned to look at the newcomer, giving her a puzzled look. The person was dressed in the robes of an outer disciple, quite young, and had a gentle and pretty appearance...

She nodded hesitantly.

"Yes... is there something you need from Senior Brother Xu?"

As she asked the question, many guesses flashed through Lin Ningxue's mind...

Could it be that my senior brother has gotten into some romantic entanglements outside?

After all, he's been so sleepy and listless these past two days, it's hard not to start overthinking...

Or perhaps a female disciple that Xu Xiao had previously seduced?

"I...I would like to ask Senior Brother Xu to challenge Meng Fan..."

Jiang Qingyao pursed her red lips and spoke slowly.

"Shall we issue a challenge?"

Lin Ningxue was taken aback, looking at Jiang Qingyao in front of her with a puzzled expression. She assumed that Jiang Qingyao had learned about Ye Chen's help in seizing the cave dwelling and had come to her seeking assistance...

He immediately shook his head and said.

"Your senior brother probably won't make a move, you should go back..."

"what?"

Jiang Qingyao was taken aback, reached into her bosom and took out a storage bag, saying anxiously.

"Didn't they say that as long as you give enough pills, Senior Brother Xu will help challenge any disciple in any cave?"

"I don't have many pills, and I don't want to seize the cave dwelling. I just want Senior Brother Xu to help me teach that heartless man a lesson..."

"Please... let me see Senior Brother Xu, only he can help me..."

...

Hearing Jiang Qingyao's words, Lin Ningxue became even more confused...

"What kind of elixir?"

"What kind of challenge disciple?"

She looked completely bewildered.

What exactly happened while I was away?

She hadn't heard anything about it...

When did you start doing something like this, senior brother?

Seeing Lin Ningxue's reaction, Jiang Qingyao suddenly paused for two seconds, looking surprised.

"you do not know?"

After learning about the relationship between Lin Ningxue and Ye Chen, she briefly recounted the events of the day...

For example, Ye Chen challenged Sun Zhigang and Xie Huai'an, who were from the top ten cave dwellings of Tianling Peak. He challenged a Foundation Establishment cultivator while only being at the Qi Refining stage, and he thoroughly beat them both, almost crippling them...

They also collected several hundred second-grade pills, and the news spread throughout the outer sect of the Qingyun Sect...

Many disciples now want to ask Senior Brother Xu for help in seizing a cave dwelling to prepare for the inner sect selection in a month, but they are short of money and can only try to gather enough pills first...

Jiang Qingyao also rushed over after hearing the news.

"what?"

"Senior brother, he even beat up Senior Brother Xie?"

Lin Ningxue stood there stunned, her mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg...

She never expected so many things to happen while she was away.

Ye Chen actually acted as a henchman, collecting pills to help challenge disciples from other caves, and even daring to confront disciples from the top three caves...

Even more unexpectedly, Ye Chen easily defeated the legendary Xie Huai'an...

Xie Huai'an's reputation in the outer sect was so great that Lin Ningxue had also heard of him.

She had been worried that Ye Chen would offend the other party, but she never expected that even Xie Huai'an was no match for Ye Chen...

A storm raged within me...

When did you become so strong, senior brother?

Lin Ningxue had personally witnessed Ye Chen begin his cultivation journey from Qi Induction to Body Awakening, and in just a few days, his strength had grown to an astonishing level...

"Boom..."

As they pondered, the stone door in front of them slowly opened...
