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

The next morning...

Ye Chen suddenly woke up from his sleep, his legs crossed, a tingling numbness spreading through him...

"hiss!"

He couldn't help but gasp, looking at the several Rank 6 Spirit-Replenishing Pills laid out before him. Only then did he realize that he had actually fallen asleep while meditating last night...

He lay down, but remained in a cross-legged meditation posture...

"call..."

"It seems you overworked yourself last night and are too tired..."

Ye Chen gave a wry smile, still feeling somewhat weak.

He then took out a bottle of pills to replenish his energy and spirit from his storage bag and swallowed them all at once...

He then sat up, looked out the window, and saw that it was already broad daylight...

"That girl didn't even ask me to go to the herb garden today..."

Ye Chen asked with a surprised expression.

Thinking back, he realized he hadn't gone to help at the spirit herb garden for several days. At first, Lin Ningxue would call for him outside the cave, but now she had clearly given up...

But this is good, as it allows him to have more time to cultivate in his cave.

The situation had calmed down recently, and it seemed that no disciples from the Enforcement Hall were searching for him, which put Ye Chen at ease.

He's thriving now, using Xu Xiao's identity; even if he doesn't go to the spirit herb garden to help, no one will suspect him...

Ye Chen sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy within his body; his cultivation level remained at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and he had not yet successfully broken through...

A sense of disappointment flashed through my mind!

Although I didn't consume all the Grade 6 Spirit-Replenishing Pills last night, I still took at least two hundred, yet I still couldn't break through a minor realm...

He glanced down at the remaining sixth-grade spirit-replenishing pills in front of him, picked them up, and swallowed them. He then immediately began circulating his cultivation technique to rapidly refine them...

Now that he doesn't have to work in the herb garden, he can stay in his cave and cultivate in peace...

There weren't many of the remaining Grade 6 Spirit-Replenishing Pills to begin with, and they were all quickly used up.

Ye Chen only felt that the spiritual energy in his dantian had become a bit more abundant, but it was far from reaching the threshold of the bottleneck, and there was no sign of a breakthrough...

"hiss!"

"It still doesn't work..."

"This is incredible how much it can absorb! It's like a bottomless pit..."

"How many pills are needed to break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment?"

Ye Chen couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Seeing that the sixth-grade spirit-replenishing pills in front of him were empty, he hesitated for a moment, then took out the few bottles of pills that Liu Ruyan had given him the night before...

The moment the cork was pulled off, a rich and enticing medicinal aroma wafted out...

The aroma is delicate and natural, so enticing that it seems to possess a unique charm, making you want to devour it whole...

Ye Chen poured out the pills and immediately recognized them as the exact same seventh-grade immortal spirit pills that Liu Ruyan had given him last time...

Not only are their patterns the same, but they also smell the same.

"It really was this..."

Ye Chen's expression brightened, and he immediately became enamored with it...

This is a rare seventh-grade elixir!

"Gurgle!"

Ye Chen's mouth was already watering just from looking at it a few more times...

However, he knew in his heart that the effects of a seventh-grade immortal spirit pill were extraordinary, far surpassing those of a spirit-replenishing pill. With his current physique, accidentally consuming too much could cause his body to burst...

He counted the number of Immortal Elixir Pills; there were fifty in total, more than last time...

However, this was something he had negotiated for; if he hadn't offered to pay more, Liu Ruyan wouldn't have given him a few extra bottles of Immortal Elixir...

"We've struck it rich this time!"

"My sacrifice wasn't in vain, after all. It wouldn't hurt to have this woman come a few more times..."

Ye Chen muttered happily.

Although he always ended up physically exhausted, it wasn't a bad deal for him. He not only enjoyed male pleasure but also earned seventh-grade elixirs...

He looked down at the shimmering golden seventh-grade immortal pills before him, took a deep breath, picked one up, and swallowed it...

"Hopefully, I can break through this time..."

Ye Chen murmured to himself, quickly circulating his cultivation technique to refine the seventh-grade immortal spirit pill that melted in his mouth; terrifying medicinal power surged wildly within his body...

Fortunately, the "Supreme Induction Technique" was superior, easily suppressing the violent medicinal power. After one small cycle was completed, the medicinal power was refined into pure spiritual energy that gathered in the dantian...

His aura instantly became several degrees stronger!

Ye Chen didn't stop, and continued to take the seventh-grade Heavenly Spirit Pill...

He was completely immersed in cultivation, single-minded, with only the desire to break through to a higher realm...

Meanwhile, a number of disciples gathered outside the cave...

"Is Senior Brother Xu here? I'd like to ask him to help me challenge a cave..."

"I came here early this morning, but I still haven't seen Senior Brother Xu."

"Could it be that Senior Brother Xu isn't in his cave?"

"I called out a few times, but no one responded. Maybe Senior Brother Xu hasn't woken up yet..."

"Senior Brother Xu's temper... no one dares to shout at him. If he thinks someone is challenging them, wouldn't they be beaten to a pulp?"

"If all else fails, let's wait a bit longer. We can't rush asking Senior Brother Xu for help..."

......

Without exception, these disciples had all come seeking Ye Chen's help, hoping to use him to seize the cave dwelling and thus secure a spot in the inner sect...

After news of Ye Chen's defeat of Meng Fan spread throughout the outer sect yesterday, more and more disciples believed in his abilities and became interested in his methods of seizing the cave dwelling...

The disciples who were previously hesitant immediately became determined to seek his help, convinced that as long as Ye Chen took action, there was no cave they couldn't conquer...

Although there were still more than half a month until the inner disciple selection at the end of the month, everyone wanted to make a move first, fearing that Ye Chen would stop making a move if they were too late...

Many disciples still looked dejected, seemingly having failed to gather enough pills and hoping to try their luck again. They were now anxiously waiting outside the cave...

"I only have thirty Grade Two Spirit Replenishing Pills on hand. I wonder if Senior Brother Xu would be willing to help me..." said a dark-skinned male disciple.

"I'm a bit better off than you. I finally managed to gather thirty-five second-grade pills. I hope I can get Senior Brother Xu to help me!" A fair-skinned young man beside him sighed.

A pure-looking female disciple gritted her teeth, her face flushed, and whispered, "I...I only have twenty pills. It seems there's not much hope. If Senior Brother Xu doesn't mind, I can sleep with him for a few nights to offset those thirty pills..."

Upon hearing this, all the surrounding disciples turned to look, countless eyes scrutinizing the female disciple before them...

With an innocent face and a hot figure, she may not be a stunning beauty, but she is still quite attractive...

"Gurgle!"

Everyone swallowed hard, and an idea gradually began to form in their minds...

"Junior sister, I have ten Grade Two Spirit Replenishing Pills here. How about... I exchange them for a few nights with you?"

"I also have a few second-grade pills... Junior sister, would you mind combining them?"

"How many coins a night? I'd like to join too..."
