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

Wang Hao watched Ye Chen's departing figure, his teeth itching with anger. Ye Chen had stolen his storage bag, and now he was supposed to thank him?

At the same time, he felt a pang of heartache; that was all his savings...

Ye Chen quickened his pace after entering the woods, trying to get as far away as possible to avoid Wang Hao sending people to retaliate...

After all, the other party was the manager of the miscellaneous affairs department. If he beat the person, he would definitely be violating the clan rules, and he might lose his life.

With his current strength, he would definitely suffer a loss if he went head-to-head with a cultivator, so he had no choice but to leave first.

"No, I have to find a way to cultivate..."

Ye Chen frowned slightly and muttered to himself with a serious expression.

Otherwise, relying solely on strength, he would be doomed if he encountered a disciple with profound cultivation.

After walking for more than half an hour, crossing mountains and arriving at another peak, Ye Chen slowly slowed down and stopped in a forest.

"They probably won't be chasing us anytime soon, right?"

Ye Chen glanced back and muttered to himself.

His pursuers might have assumed he was trying to escape down the mountain and were currently giving chase. But instead of running, he infiltrated another mountain peak...

After all, he had made a promise with Liu Ruyan that he would embark on cultivation and break through to the Golden Core realm in order to rescue his sister as soon as possible, so he naturally wouldn't leave the Qingyun Sect at this time.

Seeing that no one was around, Ye Chen gradually relaxed and let out a long sigh of relief...

He then found a secluded spot, took out the storage bag he had just stolen from his robes, curiously opened the bag, and focused his attention on peering inside...

The next second, a space appeared in his mind, filled with many crystal-clear stones, like a small mountain, even more than what he had previously collected...

In addition, there were many bottles and jars, all filled with pills.

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"This lowly steward has so many good things on him; it seems he's been quite greedy..."

"They all have these stones on them. Could this be the 'gold and silver' commonly used in the cultivation world?"

His gaze fell on the crystal-clear stones. He took one out and played with it in his hand. He could vaguely feel the energy contained within it, but unfortunately he couldn't absorb it, so he had to put it away for the time being.

He then took out all the pills from his storage bag, opened a white porcelain bottle, smelled them, poured them all into his mouth, chewed them haphazardly a few times, and swallowed them...

"Glug!"

The elixir transformed into a warm current, flowing rapidly through his body and quickly gathering in his dantian, where it was completely absorbed...

Ye Chen clenched his fist, carefully sensing his strength. His power had indeed increased, but the effect was very limited, far less effective than the pills he had taken yesterday...

"Could this be a defective product?"

Ye Chen muttered with a look of disgust, and couldn't help but purse his lips.

Then he picked up a bottle of pills and swallowed them...

This time, the elixir transformed into a massive warm current, circulating within his body for a long time before being completely absorbed.

In an instant, Ye Chen felt a warm, invigorating sensation throughout his body. His blood surged, and he couldn't resist the urge to do something. He clenched his fist and punched a large tree in front of him...

"Bang!"

"Snap!"

With a single punch, the tree trunk, which three people could barely encircle, snapped in half...

"Boom!"

The tree trunk fell straight down.

"Gurgle!"

Ye Chen stared wide-eyed in astonishment at his fist, which was the size of a sandbag, feeling utterly incredulous...

"That force... must be at least five thousand jin, right?"

The effects of that bottle of pills just now directly increased his strength by nearly three times!

Ye Chen realized what was happening and was overjoyed.

"Looks like this old man has some good elixirs on him..."

He eagerly grabbed the remaining bottles of pills and poured them all into his mouth...

After chewing it haphazardly, I swallowed it, eagerly awaiting the results.

Unfortunately, these pills only turned into shallow warm currents, circulating through the body once before disappearing without a trace.

Although both strength and physique have improved, the effect is far less than that of the previous bottle of pills...

Ye Chen looked regretful and couldn't help but let out a burp...

These pills made him so full that he could skip breakfast.

He glanced down at the remaining bottles and jars in front of him, then temporarily put them back into his storage bag, intending to eat them when he got hungry...

After tidying up, Ye Chen got up and left, worried that the noise of breaking the ancient tree with his punch would attract the patrolling disciples.

He traveled through the mountains and forests, pondering his next move. If he wanted to stay in the Qingyun Sect, he needed a suitable identity; otherwise, he would be captured if he encountered any patrolling disciples...

"How do I forge an identity?"

"We can't just resort to robbery, can we?"

Ye Chen murmured to himself, a bold idea gradually taking root in his mind...

The Qingyun Sect has over 200,000 outer disciples alone. It's impossible to know every single one of them, and the more people there are, the easier it is to take advantage of the situation...

As he was formulating his plan, he faintly heard shouts...

"this..."

Ye Chen frowned slightly, initially thinking that some male and female disciples couldn't resist frolicking in the forest...

Daytime debauchery is a common occurrence; he had encountered it yesterday.

But he quickly realized something was wrong; the sound was more like a cry for help than a pleasurable experience...

He initially didn't want to pay any attention, but then he remembered that he seemed to be lacking an identity, so he immediately and quietly moved closer...

"Senior brother, please don't do this..."

"I...I don't want to!"

"Waaaah, please let me go..."

"You said you were coming to teach me swordsmanship, not to do something like this!"

A pretty woman was being pinned to the ground, crying and shouting loudly.

The young man on top of her grinned wickedly as he reached out and tore at her pink dress...

"Sizzle!"

"Sizzle..."

She easily tore several openings, revealing her snow-white, smooth skin...

One look at it and your blood will boil!

"Junior Sister Lin, stop struggling. I'll make you feel comfortable..."

"Don't worry, once I've enjoyed myself, I'll teach you swordsmanship properly!"

"Junior sister, you smell so good..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man couldn't resist pouncing on him...

"No...no!"

The next second, a dark figure suddenly sprang out of the bushes and punched the young man in the neck...

"who..."

The young man reacted quickly, turning his head sharply, but before he could make a move...

"Bang!"

"Snap!"

A crisp sound!

The young man's neck tilted, his head drooped, and he fell straight down...

"Thump!"

There was complete silence!

The woods suddenly fell silent...

The girl in the pink dress, who had been struggling on the ground, stopped screaming. She clutched her chest in panic, staring warily at the figure before her, a storm raging within her...

Did he kill Senior Brother Xu with a single punch?

Ye Chen ignored the girl in the pink dress, quickly walked to the young man's side, squatted down, and began to grope him...

"It's...it's you!"

The girl in the pink dress suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Chen's expression changed slightly, and he quickly looked up, recognizing the girl in the pink dress who had been bullied as the senior sister who had led him up the mountain yesterday...

"Oh, it was you..."
