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

"Senior brother, what are you looking at?"

Seeing Ye Chen lost in thought, Lin Ningxue curiously leaned closer to look at the token in his palm...

"Qingyun Tai..."

"hiss!"

Lin Ningxue froze, her bright eyes widening instantly as she stared incredulously at Ye Chen before her, a storm raging within her...

"Senior...Senior brother..."

"This is the Supreme Elder's token, how did it end up in your hands?"

She asked, looking shocked.

Seeing that Lin Ningxue recognized the token, Ye Chen didn't hide it. He looked up at her and raised his eyebrows with smug satisfaction.

What do you think?

Lin Ningxue paused for two seconds, looking at Ye Chen with suspicion, and slightly frowned.

"Senior brother, you stole Elder Xu's token?"

Ye Chen: ? ? ?

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and the way he looked at Lin Ningxue changed...

"No, do I look like the kind of person who would steal a token?"

This girl actually doubts her own character?

Meeting Ye Chen's gaze, Lin Ningxue nodded hesitantly.

"Didn't my senior brother just steal the Fire Spirit Grass seeds from the Spirit Herb Garden?"

"I..."

Ye Chen was speechless for a moment, his face flushed red, and he said irritably.

"How can that be the same?"

"One belongs to a sect, the other is an individual. Taking something from the sect is fine, but stealing from an individual is morally reprehensible..."

"oh..."

Hearing Ye Chen's explanation, Lin Ningxue nodded thoughtfully, her gaze falling on the token in Ye Chen's hand. As if realizing something, a hint of surprise flashed across her playful face...

"Senior brother..."

"So, this token of the Supreme Elder was given to you by Elder Xu?"

She still couldn't quite believe it...

After all, no outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect had ever received this honor before; Ye Chen was definitely the first outer disciple to possess the Supreme Elder's token...

"That's right, Elder Xu gave it to me!"

Ye Chen said with a smug look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ningxue immediately looked envious.

"Elder Xu really values ​​Senior Brother!"

"Perhaps Elder Xu will directly accept my senior brother as his personal disciple during the next selection of inner disciples..."

"By then, Senior Brother's status in the Qingyun Sect will rise significantly, and he will no longer have to worry about cultivation resources!"

Lin Ningxue had witnessed Elder Xu's attitude towards Ye Chen and his assessment of his talent during the martial arts training grounds, which led to her current speculation...

Becoming an inner disciple was already her greatest aspiration; as for becoming a personal disciple of the Supreme Elder, she didn't even dare to dream of such an honor. At this moment, her eyes were filled with envy and admiration as she looked at Ye Chen...

Senior brother is really amazing!

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

If he could truly become Xu Changqing's personal disciple, he would gain access to abundant cultivation resources, significantly accelerating his cultivation speed and allowing him to break through to the Golden Core stage sooner...

Besides, by getting on Xu Changqing's good side, he might even be able to ask him to help rescue his sister Ye Qing'er.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen became even more determined to comprehend the sword intent. Only in this way could he gain Xu Changqing's favor and become his personal disciple...

Ye Chen put the token in his pocket and looked at Lin Ningxue in front of him, giving her instructions.

"Don't tell anyone about the token..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ningxue immediately nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, senior brother, I swear I won't tell anyone..."

Ye Chen found her earnest vow incredibly cute and couldn't help but laugh...

This girl really loves making oaths!

Is she afraid that I won't believe her?

"Let's go back first..."

Ye Chen spoke up, vaguely hearing footsteps approaching. He didn't want to be surrounded by his disciples right now...

"good..."

Lin Ningxue agreed.

The two walked along the forest up the mountain, traversing the landscape.

As we passed several patches of dense grass, we faintly heard rapid, panting breathing...

Before even reaching the summit, Lin Ningxue was already flushed with exhaustion and too nervous to speak...

Ye Chen, however, appeared quite composed, having seen this kind of thing many times before; the mountains and forests were undoubtedly more exciting than the rooms...

The two soon returned to the herb garden.

Using Xu Xiao's identity token, Ye Chen was able to enter smoothly once again.

Ye Chen and Lin Ningxue took the morning dew mixed with water to the spirit field to irrigate the plants. Looking at the Fire Spirit Grass, which seemed unchanged, Lin Ningxue couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt...

If the instructors continue to use this method of diluting the quality, the Fire Spirit Grass won't even be ripe by next year...

She hesitated, wanting to go back and have a proper talk with Ye Chen...

When he returned to the cabin, Ye Chen grabbed a few more handfuls of Fire Spirit Grass seeds and put them into his storage bag.

Seeing this, Lin Ningxue opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back.

Anyway, there are plenty of Fire Spirit Grass seeds, so a few more won't make a difference. It's just that I think Ye Chen's actions are too wasteful.

After all, Fire Spirit Grass can only survive in the spirit fields of the Spirit Herb Garden; it simply cannot grow anywhere else.

The spirit herb garden not only has abundant spiritual energy provided by the spirit-gathering array, but also fertile spiritual fields specifically for cultivating spirit herbs; all these conditions are indispensable...

She thought to herself that once her senior brother failed to cultivate it, he would understand how difficult it was to grow the Fire Spirit Grass.

It wasn't until evening that Ye Chen and Lin Ningxue left the herb garden and returned to their cave.

Now Lin Ningxue also has her own cave dwelling on the mountaintop, and she no longer has to climb up and down the mountain every day.

They returned to the front of the cave after walking for a short while.

"Senior brother, I'll go cook some food first, then you can come and eat later..."

Lin Ningxue looked at Ye Chen in front of her and said.

This was the only way she could repay Ye Chen at the moment, to thank him for helping her rightfully seize a luxurious cave dwelling...

"Okay, I'll be there in a bit..."

"Just leave the door open for me!"

Ye Chen didn't stand on ceremony and nodded in agreement...

He always had a professional cook when he was at Black Cloud Village, and he had never cooked for himself. Besides, Lin Ningxue was indeed quite talented in cooking, and he had become addicted to her food these past few days...

Rather than struggling to cook for myself, I might as well come over to this girl's place for a free meal...

After all, she can't possibly finish all that food cooked by herself!

Ye Chen strode into his cave dwelling, and after closing the gate, he flipped his hand and eagerly took out the Purple-Gold Gourd...

"They should all be refined by now, right?"

"Hopefully, we can gather more spiritual liquid..."

He muttered to himself, uncorked the bottle, and peered inside...

A wisp of thought entered it...

After a day of refining, the morning dew poured into the purple-gold gourd that morning has been completely refined...

At this moment, a pool of turbid spiritual liquid had gathered at the bottom of the gourd, which looked to be more than ten drops.

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, a smile playing on his lips as he began to make his own plans...

"This spiritual liquid should be enough to cultivate two Fire Spirit Grasses..."

"If we drag that girl into this, we'll have even more morning dew to refine in the future..."
