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

Ye Chen reached out and took the two bottles of morning dew from Lin Ningxue, quickly putting them into his storage bag.

Although he trusted Lin Ningxue, he wouldn't easily show off a divine artifact like the Purple Gold Gourd...

If this gets out, it will bring about your death!

Ye Chen was in a great mood at the moment. Looking at Lin Ningxue in front of him, he said with a serious expression.

"Junior sister, I won't be giving you Fire Spirit Grass anymore..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Ningxue waved her hand dismissively and said with a smile.

"Senior brother, don't worry about it. The Fire Spirit Grass you gave me yesterday was already extremely precious; it's not something that can be repaid with mere morning dew..."

"Don't worry, senior brother, I will never forget your kindness. I will continue to collect morning dew for you..."

For Lin Ningxue, she was already satisfied with the fourth-grade fire spirit grass she had harvested yesterday, and she was very grateful to Ye Chen.

Even if Ye Chen stops giving her any benefits afterward, she will still diligently collect morning dew and hand it in...

You see, she was prepared to strip naked and offer herself to repay the Fire Spirit Grass's kindness last night, so collecting morning dew was undoubtedly a trivial matter for her...

She couldn't be happier to repay Ye Chen in this way!

Ye Chen looked at Lin Ningxue, who had a serious expression on her face, and shook his head with a smile.

"Junior sister, you've misunderstood..."

"What I mean is... the medicinal effects of the Fire Spirit Grass are still too weak. From now on, I'll just give you pills directly..."

"Consider these two Spirit-Replenishing Pills your reward for collecting morning dew today!"

As they spoke, Ye Chen took out two mid-grade spirit-replenishing pills from his storage bag and handed them to Lin Ningxue...

"A Spirit-Replenishing Pill?"

Lin Ningxue was taken aback at first. Although the value of the Spirit Replenishing Pill was vastly different from that of the Fire Spirit Grass, she had no intention of giving anything in return, so she naturally wouldn't think Ye Chen was stingy.

He immediately nodded in response.

"Okay, thank you, senior brother!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a rich aroma of medicine wafted over...

"Um?"

"This is..."

Lin Ningxue sniffed carefully, and her expression changed drastically. She abruptly looked down at the two Spirit-Replenishing Pills in Ye Chen's hand; there were faint patterns on their surfaces...

"hiss!"

"A Grade Five Spirit-Replenishing Pill!!!"

"This...how is this possible..."

She was completely stunned, her eyes wide as she tried to see more clearly. Without realizing it, she leaned closer, and the medicinal scent at the tip of her nose became even stronger...

Lin Ningxue was certain that the two pills before her were Grade 5 Spirit Replenishing Pills. Although they were low-grade pills, different grades would still affect their effects...

Take this Grade 5 Spirit Replenishing Pill for example; its effect is hundreds of times greater than that of a Grade 2 Spirit Replenishing Pill, or even more.

The value of two grade-five pills already exceeds that of a grade-four fire spirit grass...

Senior brother, isn't that a bit too generous?

Lin Ningxue snapped out of her daze, looked up at Ye Chen in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice.

"Senior...Senior brother..."

"You didn't take the wrong one, did you?"

"These two are fifth-grade pills, are you sure they're for me?"

She had only collected two bottles of morning dew and given them to Ye Chen; she should be secretly happy to receive two second-grade spirit-replenishing pills in return, let alone a fifth-grade pill...

She never even dared to dream of such a good thing...

Is my senior brother trying to kill her?

Meeting Lin Ningxue's shocked gaze, Ye Chen felt that this girl was becoming more and more adorable, and said with a smile.

"No mistake, this is for you..."

"I promised you Fire Spirit Grass last night, so I'll use a Grade 5 Spirit Replenishing Pill instead..."

"From now on, I will also give you Grade 5 Spirit Replenishing Pills as payment for collecting morning dew..."

A Grade 5 Spirit Replenishing Pill may seem valuable, but it's actually much cheaper for Ye Chen...

After all, cultivating a single Fire Spirit Grass requires six drops of spirit liquid, but a Grade 5 Spirit Replenishing Pill only needs one drop of spirit liquid to refine its grade, saving four drops of spirit liquid...

As for the loss of the two Grade 2 Spirit-Replenishing Pills, it can be ignored, since he had stolen them and had plenty in his storage bag.

If we run out of them one day, we can just go and snatch some more from a few outer disciples...

Lin Ningxue was stunned by what Ye Chen said...

Not only will there be Grade 5 Spirit Replenishing Pills today, but there will be Grade 5 Spirit Replenishing Pills every day from now on...

Happiness came so suddenly that she even wondered if she was dreaming...

"Senior brother, you tell me, who should we kill?"

Lin Ningxue frowned and asked with certainty.

If Ye Chen were to say a name right now, she would absolutely kill that person without hesitation...

My senior brother has been incredibly kind to me, so what does killing someone matter!

Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw her serious expression, and quickly waved his hand.

"Who said I wanted you to kill anyone? It's just two spirit-replenishing pills, not worth killing..."

"Take this and cultivate diligently to improve your cultivation level as soon as possible!"

He thought to himself, "This girl is too easy to bribe. She's willing to go through fire and water for me with just two Spirit Replenishing Pills."

If I give her too many Grade 5 Spirit-Replenishing Pills in the future, won't she be willing to warm my bed for me?

Lin Ningxue accepted the two Grade 5 Spirit-Replenishing Pills from Ye Chen, still in a daze, unable to believe that she also possessed Grade 5 pills. This was the first time she had obtained Grade 5 pills in the more than one year she had spent at the Qingyun Sect.

She immediately and carefully put the Grade 5 Spirit-Replenishing Pill into her storage bag, afraid that someone would see it and steal it; she would be devastated if someone did...

"Thank you, senior brother!"

She looked at Ye Chen with a joyful expression and said gratefully.

It was now broad daylight, so Ye Chen and Lin Ningxue returned to their cabin to rest. They could water the fire spirit grass in the spirit field later...

Upon entering the wooden cabin, Lin Ningxue quickly took out two new crystal bottles and began filling them with spring water to disguise them as collected morning dew.

If she had done this before, she would definitely have felt uneasy and guilty.

Now it's done cleanly and decisively, without the slightest psychological burden...

She might not even be able to earn a single Grade 5 Spirit Replenishing Pill after a year of working in the spirit herb garden. Now, she would do whatever Ye Chen said, never deviating from his orders, willingly complicit in his schemes, even wishing she could dilute the truth more...

Seeing this, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this girl was on his side, it would be much easier to embezzle the morning dew in the future. He wouldn't have to be sneaky anymore, and he would have an extra helper to collect more morning dew...

For the time being, I don't have to worry about my cultivation resources anymore!

If it weren't for the fact that disciples weren't forbidden from cultivating in the spirit herb garden, Ye Chen would have wanted to consume and refine all the remaining grade-five spirit-replenishing pills right now...

While Lin Ningxue went out to water the Fire Spirit Grass, Ye Chen quickly took out the Purple Gold Gourd and poured all the collected morning dew into it...

He gazed at the purple-gold gourd before him, his heart filled with anticipation...

"Hopefully, I can refine more spiritual liquid..."

"Should I be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in a few days?"
