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

After a hearty meal, Ye Chen followed Lin Ningxue to the Spirit Herb Garden.

The sun hadn't risen yet, the sky was a hazy gray, and the mountain road was deserted, with not a single person in sight.

When a breeze blows, I feel a cool sensation, which makes me feel refreshed and relaxed.

An elder guards the entrance to the spirit herb garden, checking identification tokens before allowing entry to prevent anyone from sneaking into the fields to steal spirit herbs...

However, the elders guarding the area only checked the tokens, not the people. Ye Chen successfully infiltrated the spirit herb garden again under the identity of "Xu Xiao," which reassured him a lot.

At least for the time being, I don't have to worry about my identity being exposed!

Once the matter at Xianxia Peak has passed and no one pursues it further, he will be able to move freely within the sect without incident...

The two arrived at the spirit field under their care. Lin Ningxue took out two crystal bottles, handed one to Ye Chen in front of her, and said softly.

"Senior brother, let's go collect the morning dew first. Once we're done, we can go listen to Elder Xu's lecture..."

"good!"

Ye Chen reached out and took the bottle, then agreed.

This was something they had agreed on last night; otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten up so early.

The two walked separately through the spirit field, carefully collecting the morning dew.

The dew that gathers within the spirit-gathering array also contains abundant spiritual energy, making it ideal for irrigating spirit herbs and helping them grow rapidly...

As Ye Chen collected the dew from the leaves of the Fire Spirit Grass, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind...

The morning dew and the spiritual liquid from the Purple Gold Gourd work similarly, but the effect isn't as powerful as the spiritual liquid, which can mature in an instant. If this morning dew were poured into the Purple Gold Gourd for refining, perhaps it could also produce spiritual liquid...

After all, the Purple Gold Gourd has the ability to refine all things; it doesn't necessarily need to suck someone in...

Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation, he looked around, and seeing no one nearby, he flipped his hand and snatched the purple-gold gourd out of thin air...

After uncorking the bottle, he poured in all the morning dew he had just collected from the crystal bottle, filling it to a depth of about half a finger's width.

After doing all this, he put away the purple-gold gourd and continued collecting morning dew.

Refining the Purple Gold Gourd takes time, and the time required varies depending on the amount of spiritual energy it contains.

However, since morning dew is a liquid containing spiritual energy, its refining speed will undoubtedly be faster. It took nearly a day and a night to refine Lin Qinshuang, so the time it takes for morning dew to be refined won't be too long...

Ye Chen was filled with anticipation, and his speed in collecting morning dew increased without him even realizing it.

If the morning dew can truly be refined into spiritual liquid, then the more morning dew he collects, the more spiritual liquid he can obtain, which will allow him to continue cultivating the Grade Four Fire Spirit Grass...

Besides, he had already poured all the morning dew he had collected into the purple-gold gourd. If he didn't speed up the collection, he wouldn't be able to finish by sunrise...

We can't just add water to the morning dew again, can we?

Filled with excitement, Ye Chen strode quickly through the spirit field, his movements as he collected morning dew becoming increasingly skillful.

Before long, the crystal bottle in his hand was more than half full of morning dew, emitting a refreshing fragrance...

As the sun gradually rises over the eastern mountains, its golden rays bathe the mountains in a shimmering glow.

At this moment, the flowers, plants, and trees seemed to come alive, radiating vitality.

Ye Chen looked up at the rising sun in the distance, and before he knew it, the sky was already bright.

Seeing that no one was around, Ye Chenzhong squatted in a corner, flipped his hand, and took out the purple-gold gourd he had been longing for...

He couldn't wait to uncork the bottle and peer inside...

A wisp of thought entered the purple-gold gourd, and the situation inside the bottle was immediately clear.

The morning dew that had been poured in earlier had completely disappeared, leaving only a few drops of spiritual liquid swaying at the bottom of the bottle...

"One...two..."

Ye Chen carefully counted; there were six drops of spiritual liquid in total. Four of them were refined last night by the Purple-Gold Gourd after absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He had seen them when he poured in the morning dew earlier...

This means that only two drops of spiritual liquid were refined from half a bottle of morning dew!

Despite this, Ye Chen was still overjoyed, grinning from ear to ear and laughing happily...

This means that morning dew can also be refined into spiritual liquid, and regardless of the quantity, it at least provides another way to obtain spiritual liquid...

"Six drops of spiritual liquid should be enough to cultivate at least one grade four Fire Spirit Grass..."

Ye Chen muttered to himself, overjoyed, then looked down at the half-full bottle of morning dew he had collected in the crystal bottle...

A bold idea gradually began to sprout in my mind!

"Glug!"

"Glug!"

Without saying a word, he poured all the morning dew from the crystal bottle into the purple-gold gourd, his heart filled with joyful anticipation...

"With so much morning dew, we should be able to refine four drops of spiritual liquid, right?"

"If I can gather six more drops of spirit liquid by tonight, that will be enough to water two Fire Spirit Grasses..."

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then flipped his hand and put away the purple-gold gourd...

"Senior brother, the sun is out. How's your harvest going?"

"Is it still only half a bottle today?"

Lin Ningxue's voice came from not far away.

After the sun comes out, the morning dew evaporates one after another, making it almost impossible to collect.

However, Lin Ningxue's crystal bottle was already full of morning dew, so there was no need to collect any more.

Ye Chen stood up, looked up at Lin Ningxue who was slowly walking towards him not far away, and pondered for two seconds before speaking.

"This time it's not half a bottle..."

Hearing Ye Chen's response, Lin Ningxue breathed a sigh of relief, her face beaming with joy.

"That's good, at least I don't have to dilute the morning dew with water today..."

She muttered something under her breath, her steps becoming lighter...

While diluting morning dew with water won't kill the Fire Spirit Grass, the reduced spiritual energy will naturally slow its growth...

The Fire Spirit Grass, which might normally take a year to mature, could potentially take up to a year and a half to mature.

As she pondered, Lin Ningxue approached Ye Chen, and upon seeing the empty crystal bottle in his hand, she was immediately stunned...

"Senior brother, where's the morning dew you collected?"

She was completely bewildered, and the way she looked at Ye Chen had changed...

This time it wasn't half a bottle, it was completely empty...

You haven't been slacking off all this time, have you?

Meeting Lin Ningxue's gaze, Ye Chen pondered an excuse, scratched his head sheepishly, and explained hesitantly.

"I drank it..."

"ha?"

"Did you drink it?"

Lin Ningxue's voice rose several decibels as she stared at Ye Chen in astonishment, completely dumbfounded...

She's been in the herb garden for so long, and she's never heard of anyone drinking the morning dew...

That's way too greedy!

Could it be that I didn't feed my senior brother properly this morning?

How can you even covet the morning dew!
