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

In the kitchen...

Ye Chen ate with a satisfied expression, feeling much better after filling his stomach.

"Junior sister, your cooking skills are improving day by day..."

"These dishes today are all delicious, they smell so wonderful!"

As he spoke, he couldn't resist taking a few more bites, his stomach practically bursting, yet he still couldn't bear to put down his chopsticks...

One of the dishes, braised pork, was particularly delicious; it was so juicy and flavorful that the aroma lingered in my mouth for a long time.

Hearing Ye Chen's praise, Lin Ningxue was overjoyed and said with a smile.

"If you like it, I'll make it for you every day..."

She planned to cook a few more novel dishes for Ye Chen to try tomorrow; satisfying his appetite was the only way she could repay him at the moment...

After speaking, Lin Ningxue seemed to remember something, reached into her storage bag and took out two crystal bottles filled with morning dew, handing them to Ye Chen in front of her...

"Senior brother..."

"Here's the morning dew I collected today!"

Seeing this, Ye Chen reached out and took it, naturally putting it into his storage bag.

Although he currently possesses numerous spirit stones and magical artifacts that he could use to refine the spiritual liquid, he still cherishes the morning dew as a priceless treasure...

After all, even morning dew can be refined into a considerable amount of spiritual liquid, and even a small fly is still meat...

"Oh, right, I'm temporarily out of the Grade 5 Spirit Replenishing Pills I promised you..."

Before Ye Chen could finish speaking, Lin Ningxue shook her head dismissively and said with a smile.

"Senior brother, please don't take it to heart. I've already given you enough pills to repay you, so I can't accept any more from you..."

Previously, Ye Chen had given her a fourth-grade Fire Spirit Grass and a fifth-grade Spirit Replenishing Pill, which deeply moved Lin Ningxue. Feeling she could not repay Ye Chen's kindness, she willingly collected morning dew for him every day, without expecting anything in return...

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen took out a pill with a strong medicinal fragrance and covered with golden pill patterns from his storage bag...

"We're out of Grade 5 Spirit Replenishing Pills, so from now on we'll only have Grade 6 Spirit Replenishing Pills..."

"for you!"

Lin Ningxue: ? ? ?

Upon hearing this, Lin Ningxue froze, stunned...

She stared dumbfounded at the sixth-grade spirit-replenishing pill in Ye Chen's hand, her mind completely blank...

Could I be hallucinating?

She had only ever seen sixth-grade pills in ancient books on alchemy; in the year or so she had been at the Qingyun Sect, she hadn't actually come into contact with any...

Even the outer sect elders have almost no sixth-grade pills.

A rich medicinal aroma wafted over, and with just one sniff, Lin Ningxue was certain that this was indeed a sixth-grade pill, and the golden pill patterns on it were correct...

A storm raged within her!

Everyone assumed Ye Chen was short of funds and didn't have any fifth-grade spirit-replenishing pills, but unexpectedly he pulled out a sixth-grade spirit-replenishing pill...

It's not that there's nothing left, it's that only better things remain...

"Gurgle!"

Lin Ningxue snapped out of her shock, her gaze fixed on the Rank 6 Spirit-Replenishing Pill in Ye Chen's hand, her thoughts in disarray...

"Senior brother..."

"Is this really... for me?"

"This is a sixth-grade elixir..."

"Am I dreaming?"

For a moment, she wondered if she had misheard...

Such a precious elixir, my senior brother wants to give it to me?

This sixth-grade pill is enough to buy her life!

Seeing Lin Ningxue's reaction, Ye Chen chuckled and nodded, then spoke.

"Of course it's for you..."

"Is there a third person here besides the two of us?"

Although sixth-grade pills are precious, for him it only requires six drops of spirit liquid, which is negligible compared to the spirit liquid that can be refined from two bottles of morning dew...

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Lin Ningxue was overjoyed, her heart pounding with excitement, her chest heaving, and her eyes wide with astonishment...

"But...this sixth-grade pill is too precious, I...I can't accept it..."

"Senior brother, you should keep it for your own cultivation!"

She gritted her teeth, suppressing her inner desire, and shook her head to refuse the offer...

She knew very well how rare sixth-grade pills were; not to mention outer disciples, even the elders would go crazy for them...

Senior brother must have had a hard time obtaining such a precious item; how could she accept something so valuable!

Moreover, her talent is far inferior to Ye Chen's; using sixth-grade pills for cultivation would be a complete waste of her potential...

Is it precious?

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and said calmly.

"I still have several hundred Grade 6 Spirit Replenishing Pills, which is enough for my cultivation for a while, so one more won't make a difference..."

Lin Ningxue: ? ? ?

"A few... a few hundred?"

Lin Ningxue's eyes widened suddenly as she stared at Ye Chen in disbelief, unable to believe her ears...

Are you kidding me? That's a Grade 6 Spirit Replenishing Pill! It's a rare and highly sought-after mid-level pill. Even inner disciples of the Qingyun Sect might not have a single Grade 6 pill, let alone outer disciples...

At this moment, the way she looked at Ye Chen changed...

"Senior brother..."

"You wouldn't be saying this on purpose so I can accept this Rank 6 Spirit-Replenishing Pill without feeling guilty, would you?"

"These are sixth-grade pills, how could you possibly have hundreds of them..."

"Senior brother, I understand your good intentions, but I..."

Upon hearing Lin Ningxue's words, Ye Chen was taken aback, his expression becoming increasingly strange...

This girl is quite thoughtful...

Before Lin Ningxue could finish speaking, he silently took out a handful of sixth-grade spirit-replenishing pills from his storage bag...

In an instant, a rich aroma of medicine filled the entire room...

Lin Ningxue's voice stopped abruptly, and the surroundings fell silent...

She stared in disbelief at the handful of Grade Six Spirit-Replenishing Pills in Ye Chen's hand—at least twenty or thirty of them, each pill bearing golden patterns and shrouded in spiritual energy...

"this..."

"How is that possible!"

"Senior brother, you...really have it?"

Lin Ningxue was completely dumbfounded...

She had initially thought Ye Chen was fabricating a lie to make her feel better about accepting the Rank 6 Spirit-Replenishing Pill, but she hadn't expected him to actually have so many Rank 6 pills, practically a handful...

Senior brother isn't lying!

Lin Ningxue was stunned at this moment...

Where did you get so many Grade 6 Spirit Replenishing Pills, Senior Brother?

That's incredibly extravagant!

In an instant, she seemed to understand why Ye Chen's cultivation speed was so fast...

Ye Chen glanced at her with amusement.

"Do you want it?"

"If you don't want it, then forget it..."

He made a gesture as if to put the pill away...

"want..."

"Senior brother, I want..."

Lin Ningxue nodded hurriedly in agreement, her expression full of anticipation...

At this moment, she no longer hesitated...
