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

Lu Luo was so shocked that his mouth gaped open, almost big enough to fit a fist...

He stared at Ye Chen in disbelief, too shocked to speak.

His expression was as if he'd seen a ghost...

"Senior brother...you must be joking, right?"

"Lin Wanli, Senior Brother Lin, he's the second-ranked expert on the outer sect disciple list..."

"Moreover, his swordsmanship is first-rate, and his strength is extraordinary..."

"You knocked him flying with three punches?"

......

Lu Luo couldn't believe it.

Some even wondered if there was another Lin Wanli with the same name.

That was a powerful figure he had always looked up to but could never reach. How could he be considered such a waste in Ye Chen's mouth?

Looking at Lü Luo's shocked expression, Ye Chen calmly shrugged and said indifferently.

"yes..."

"That kid's swordsmanship is indeed decent, but he has too many openings..."

"I was planning to play along with him, but he broke down first..."

......

Hearing Ye Chen mention swordsmanship, Lü Luo finally realized that this was the Lin Wanli she remembered...

I was utterly shocked!

The way he looked at Ye Chen had changed; it was as if he were looking at a god...

"Senior brother..."

"Senior Brother Lin Wanli's strength ranks second among the outer disciples, and he may even have been the strongest among them in the past year or so..."

"If you defeat him, then you're practically invincible in the outer sect, Senior Brother..."

Lu Luo said excitedly.

He never expected that by seeking a powerful backer, he would end up clinging to the coattails of the strongest outer sect member...

From now on, he can do whatever he wants at the outer gate...

Hearing Lu Luo say this, Ye Chen shook his head indifferently. He didn't care about such empty fame at all; he only wanted real benefits...

"Old Lin's arrival is timely; otherwise, with so many disciples coming to my door today, I wouldn't be able to handle it all..."

He was actually quite glad that Lin Wanli had come to challenge him; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to take the money and not do the job...

Fortunately, with him as free labor, Ye Chen was able to collect the pills without lifting a finger...

"Um?"

Lu Luo was taken aback and looked at Ye Chen in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"Senior brother, what's keeping you so busy?"

"What does this have to do with Senior Brother Lin Wanli?"

"Why don't I understand?"

He scratched his head, his mind filled with confusion.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen glanced at him and said with a smile.

"After I defeated him, I won his storage bag and sword..."

"In order to get that sword back, he agreed to do something for me, so I had him help those disciples seize the cave..."

Lü Luo: ? ? ?

Upon hearing this explanation, Lü Luo was stunned for a moment, and the way she looked at Ye Chen changed...

Senior brother really does... not waste a single thing!

Lu Luo could already picture Lin Wanli's reaction to losing all his possessions...

Poor Lin...

While he sympathized with Lin Wanli, a flicker of joy also crossed his mind...

This will make things much easier for him; he can leave those tough opponents to Lin Wanli to challenge...

We have another great helper!

As he spoke, Ye Chen reached into his robes and took out the storage bag he had won from Lin Wanli, opening it with anticipation...

He was thinking of giving all the healing pills to Lü Luo, who would be content with just the spirit-replenishing pills.

result...

"Clatter!"

Two spirit stones fell out...

Apart from that, the storage bag was completely empty, containing nothing else...

The room fell silent instantly...

Ye Chen stared at the two spirit stones in front of him, lost in thought...

Could it be that I'm doing something wrong?

How could this storage bag only contain two spirit stones?

This is...

Ye Chen waved his hand, almost smashing the storage bag on the ground...

"No wonder that kid was so quick to agree to the bet; turns out he's dirt poor..."

He immediately started complaining in an annoyed tone...

Recalling Lin Wanli's decisive manner when making the bet, Ye Chen had initially thought Lin was a sucker who had taken the bait. It turned out the other party knew he didn't have much in his pocket, which was why he acted so readily...

Especially when he handed over the storage bag, he looked like he didn't even want to think about it...

"Pfft!"

Seeing this, Lü Luo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

When he met Ye Chen's unfriendly gaze, he quickly explained.

"Senior brother, you may not know this, but Senior Brother Lin is obsessed with the sword and spends most of his time in seclusion cultivating diligently. Because of this, he missed the inner disciple selection and thus remained in the outer sect..."

"He doesn't allow anyone to disturb him during his seclusion, so he doesn't receive the cultivation resources distributed by the sect each month..."

"It's already quite good that he has two spirit stones on him."

......

Hearing Lu Luo say this, Ye Chen calmed down and gradually regained his composure...

He seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on his lips...

"If that's the case, then if Old Lin goes and collects all the cultivation resources he didn't collect during his seclusion, he should be quite well-off, right?"

Lu Luo paused for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.

"Yes, that's possible..."

"Senior brother, you wouldn't be thinking of..."

Lu Luo's gaze towards Ye Chen gradually became strange...

I couldn't help but feel sorry for Lin Wanli again; he was such an unlucky guy...

Seeing how meager Lin Wanli's storage bag was, Ye Chen had no choice but to take out healing pills from one of his neatly organized storage bags and place it on the bedside table...

"Senior brother, I haven't finished using the pills you gave me yesterday. There are too many..."

Lu Luo quickly replied.

Yesterday, Ye Chen gave him a lot of healing pills, so many that they could practically be eaten as meals...

Ye Chen waved his hand without saying a word, put down the pill, and said.

"Take good care of yourself and recover during this time. Feel free to come to me anytime if you need anything..."

Upon hearing this, Lü Luo hesitated for a moment, thinking to himself, "Could my senior brother repair the damaged stone door first?"

But after thinking about it, I swallowed my words...

What if next time my senior brother doesn't smash the door, but smashes the wall instead?

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Lu Luo pursed her lips and said with a grateful expression.

Deep down, I just felt that I hadn't followed the wrong person after all...

Ye Chen didn't linger; after leaving the pills, he turned and left...

Back in his cave, Ye Chen couldn't wait to go to his room. After closing the door, he immediately took out all the pills he had collected earlier...

"Splash..."

In an instant, thousands of Spirit-Replenishing Pills appeared before his eyes...

A rich medicinal aroma wafted over.

Ye Chen grinned as he looked at the pills before him, his heart overflowing with joy...

"Now we're rich..."

"These pills should be enough to help me break through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, right?"
