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

"Senior brother... what are you doing..."

Lin Ningxue gave a wry smile, unsure of what to do...

Yesterday, Ye Chen at least collected half a bottle of morning dew, which wouldn't dilute much even when diluted with water, but today there isn't a single drop left...

Ye Chen noticed her predicament and said with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, junior sister, we can just add some water, no one will notice..."

"Besides, in just one or two days, the fire spirit grass in the spirit field won't change much."

Hearing Ye Chen say this, Lin Ningxue sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile...

"Well, that's all we can do for now. The sun's out, so we can't collect the morning dew..."

Seeing this, Ye Chen felt a pang of guilt. Was it really okay for him to keep letting his teammates down like this?

After all, he's been secretly using the morning dew for quite some time now, and it might even implicate Lin Ningxue and get her punished...

He pondered for a moment, and an idea gradually formed in his mind...

If I drag Lin Ningxue into this mess, then I won't have to feel guilty anymore.

This way, we might be able to harvest more morning dew to cultivate the fourth-grade Fire Spirit Grass...

Ye Chen looked up at Lin Ningxue in front of him, and seeing the girl's upright expression, he didn't know how to start speaking for a moment...

She might refuse if I asked her face-to-face...

We need to think of a solution!

Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, deciding to find another opportunity to discuss it with her when he got back that evening...

I absolutely have to get this girl onto my pirate ship!

At the same time, Lin Ningxue divided a bottle of morning dew into two bottles and diluted them with water. The two crystal bottles were soon filled.

She looked at the two bottles of "Morning Dew" and felt a vague unease.

"If Elder Sun finds out about this, he'll be furious..."

Lin Ningxue muttered softly.

Seeing that it was getting late, she didn't have time to think much and left the spirit herb garden with Ye Chen, heading towards the martial arts arena located halfway up the mountain.

On Tianling Peak, there is a square platform for disciples to cultivate, which occupies a very large area.

Since the Supreme Elder Xu Changqing came here to explain sword techniques, this square platform has gradually become a place for outer disciples to listen to lectures and practice martial arts...

On their way down the mountain, Ye Chen and Lin Ningxue encountered many disciples rushing to grab seats. Looking down, the steps were filled with a dense crowd of people moving about...

Not only the disciples of Tianling Peak, but also many disciples from the eighteen outer peaks came specifically to listen to the lectures of the Supreme Elder Xu Changqing.

After all, this was the most powerful sect elder that outer disciples could come into contact with. Many disciples benefited greatly from listening to Xu Changqing's lectures, and some even achieved minor mastery of swordsmanship as a result, successfully entering the inner sect...

Therefore, most disciples were unwilling to miss this most valuable course!

The outer sect elders who were usually responsible for teaching were almost all at the Golden Core or even Foundation Establishment stage, and none of them had much patience, leaving the outer sect disciples to comprehend on their own...

In contrast, the outer disciples naturally preferred to attend Xu Changqing's lectures.

When Ye Chen and Lin Ningxue arrived at the martial arts training ground halfway up the mountain, it was already packed with people, numbering at least several thousand...

At this moment, disciples are still arriving from various mountain peaks in an endless stream, and the foot of the mountain is filled with countless figures.

"So many people..."

"I didn't expect Elder Xu to have such a high reputation among the outer sect members..."

Ye Chen looked at the large number of disciples and said with a surprised expression.

"Of course!" Lin Ningxue beside her said solemnly, "Elder Xu is a supreme elder of the sect. Even direct disciples don't have the opportunity to ask him for guidance. It is an honor for us that he can come to teach in the outer sect..."

"How could we possibly miss such a great opportunity!"

Hearing Lin Ningxue's words, Ye Chen nodded in agreement. After all, she was a Nascent Soul stage expert, and receiving even a little guidance from her would be immensely beneficial for an outer disciple...

"Senior brother, let's hurry and grab a seat, otherwise the training ground will be full..."

Lin Ningxue grabbed Ye Chen's arm and quickly squeezed into the crowd...

"good..."

Ye Chen had barely agreed when he was pulled several steps ahead. Looking at Lin Ningxue hurrying along ahead, he couldn't help but laugh...

This girl is usually quiet, but she's quite anxious right now.

After walking for a while, the two finally found two empty seats connected together...

"Senior brother, there are seats over there!"

Lin Ningxue's eyes lit up with excitement, and she exclaimed, pulling Ye Chen forward hastily...

Just as the two were about to sit down, a figure suddenly squeezed in from the side and pushed Lin Ningxue aside...

"what!"

Lin Ningxue stumbled and almost fell.

"Be careful!"

Ye Chen, who was beside her, quickly pulled her back to steady her.

Lin Ningxue, still shaken, patted her chest and turned to look at the culprit who had pushed her down, frowning as she spoke.

"I found this spot first, why are you taking it and pushing me?"

Upon hearing this, the obese man who had plopped down in the seat looked up at her and said nonchalantly.

"Whoever sits down first gets to sit..."

"If you're so capable of pushing me aside, you can have this seat too..."

He was strong and muscular, his body like a small mountain. He sat down and took up the space of two people, and he looked to weigh at least two hundred pounds...

The obese man seemed certain that Lin Ningxue's cultivation level was too low to push him away, which was why he dared to say such a thing. He even looked at the two of them with a smug expression, secretly pleased with himself...

"How could you do this? This is absolutely outrageous..."

Lin Ningxue said angrily.

She hadn't expected the other party to go so far; it was practically robbery.

Just as she was trying to persuade him on moral grounds, Ye Chen grabbed her arm...

"Senior brother, he's clearly bullying us..." Lin Ningxue turned to look at Ye Chen, her face full of indignation.

The other party was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and relying on his higher cultivation level and greater weight, he thought Ye Chen and Lin Ningxue couldn't do anything to him, which is why he was so arrogant...

"Don't worry, leave it to me..."

Ye Chen gave Lin Ningxue a reassuring look, indicating that he would handle the matter.

Seeing this, Lin Ningxue gradually calmed down and nodded hesitantly.

"good..."

She believed in Ye Chen's problem-solving abilities; after all, he had already easily defeated two disciples at the eighth level of Qi Refining before...

Although the obese man in front of her looked formidable, he was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining. She believed Ye Chen could handle him...

Lin Ningxue suppressed her anger and retreated behind Ye Chen, glaring angrily at the fat man, waiting to see him be pushed away!

Ye Chen looked down at the fat man in front of him, narrowed his eyes, looked at him with a playful expression, and slowly spoke.

"You just said... that if we can push you away, the position is ours?"
