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

Ye Chen had previously thought he had lost the small and exquisite purple-gold gourd, but he never expected that the gourd had always been on him.

It had grown considerably larger at that moment, and it had blocked the fatal blow for him!

"It really is a treasure!"

Ye Chen was overjoyed and immediately grabbed the purple-gold gourd, enduring his injuries as he quickly got up from the ground.

At that moment, an ancient Sanskrit inscription flooded his mind, like a passage of scripture, rapidly circulating through his thoughts...

He was startled and immediately understood the origin of the purple-gold gourd in his hand.

In the beginning of chaos, at the foot of the immortal mountain, there was a wisp of immortal vine that absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and condensed into a primordial magical treasure...

Ye Chen realized that he had really struck gold this time. Not only did he get Liu Ruyan for free, but he also unexpectedly got the Purple Gold Gourd to recognize him as its master.

He silently memorized how to use the purple-gold gourd, a surge of joy welling up inside him...

At this moment, Lin Qinshuang, who had fallen not far away, suddenly looked up and stared at Ye Chen with a look of horror and surprise in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary servant actually possessed a magical weapon for self-defense!

Her gaze fell upon the purple-gold gourd, and instantly ignited with desire...

"This is really good stuff..."

"With such a magical artifact by my side, I should be able to successfully enter the inner sect within a year..."

Lin Qinshuang gritted her teeth and stood up, her eyes fixed on the purple-gold gourd in Ye Chen's hand, a greedy expression on her face...

"You, a mere servant, dare to possess such a magical artifact?"

"Give it to me, and I might consider sparing your life!"

She looked at Ye Chen and said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen snapped out of his daze, looked up at Lin Qinshuang not far away, saw through her intentions at a glance, and said in an annoyed tone.

"Do you really think I'm so easily fooled?"

"If I gave you this gourd, would I even be able to walk out of here alive?"

"You wicked woman, I won't fall for your tricks..."

Having spent years navigating the underworld, what kind of people hadn't he seen? He didn't believe the other party's nonsense at all...

If you were to hand over the Purple Gold Gourd, you'd probably lose your head in the next second.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Lin Qinshuang's face immediately darkened. She gripped her spirit sword tightly and said coldly.

"Kid, don't be ungrateful..."

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it!"

"Since you're determined to die, then I'll grant your wish..."

As she spoke, she once again swung her sword at Ye Chen...

Seeing this, Ye Chen's heart tightened, and he hurriedly pulled out the stopper of the purple-gold gourd and called out to her.

"Lin Qinshuang, if I call your name, will you dare to answer?"

"What is there to be afraid of?"

Lin Qinshuang said disdainfully.

The next second, a surge of spiritual energy erupted from the mouth of the purple-gold gourd, instantly locking onto Lin Qinshuang's aura. Then, a powerful suction force burst forth, pulling Lin Qinshuang towards it on the spot...

Before Lin Qinshuang could react, she was immobilized, and the closer she got to the gourd, the smaller her body became...

"What's going on?"

She screamed in terror, struggling but to no avail...

In the blink of an eye, Lin Qinshuang was sucked into the purple-gold gourd, and her screams came to an abrupt end!

The courtyard fell silent once again!

"This...it's done!"

Ye Chen exclaimed with delight.

The Purple Gold Gourd is used by simply calling out the target's name. If the target responds, they will be sucked into the gourd and refined, unaffected by any cultivation level...

He was worried that he wouldn't be able to use this magic weapon because he didn't have enough spiritual power, but he succeeded just by shouting it out so easily!

"That was close..."

Ye Chen snapped out of his daze and breathed a sigh of relief, still shaken.

If it weren't for the Purple Gold Gourd's power, he might be dead here...

At this moment, he looked down at the purple-gold gourd in his hand, peered into the mouth of the bottle, and the space inside the gourd immediately appeared in his mind...

The gourd was completely black inside, except for a pool of clear liquid at the bottom.

The shrunken Lin Qinshuang was now immersed in this pool of liquid, unable to move, with only her mouth left to shout.

At this moment, the sounds in Ye Chen's ears became clearer.

"Damn it, let me out..."

"I'm an outer disciple. If I die, the sect will not forgive you!"

"You're just a lowly servant, how dare you treat me like this!"

Lin Qinshuang was currently cursing loudly, warning Ye Chen to release her.

Seeing this, Ye Chen sneered.

"Senior Sister Lin, you should just stay inside. Don't even think about coming out..."

Regardless of the other party's identity, since they want to kill him, there is no possibility of letting her out; otherwise, he himself would be the one to die.

"You bastard, let me out right now..." Lin Qinshuang was still yelling.

Seeing that she was trapped inside and couldn't escape, Ye Chen didn't bother with her anymore. He withdrew his gaze from the gourd, plugged the gourd, and only then was he completely relieved.

Looking up at the young man who had been knocked unconscious by his punch not far away, he felt troubled.

If he just left like this, once the other person regained consciousness, they would definitely bring people to the servants' quarters to cause him trouble, and he might even have to take responsibility for Lin Qinshuang's disappearance...

The only solution right now is to kill them to silence them!

A hint of killing intent flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.

He became the leader of Black Cloud Stronghold at the age of ten. From childhood to adulthood, he had countless lives on his hands. Killing was as commonplace for him, and he never hesitated at all.

He slowly walked forward, and while the young man was still unconscious, he suddenly swung his fist and smashed it into his head.

"Bang!"

"Snap!"

With a sharp crack, the young man's eyes widened suddenly, and a dent appeared in his head.

He died on the spot without even making a sound!

Ye Chen looked down with a cold expression, then, still not satisfied, he punched her several more times, almost knocking her brains out before stopping.

The young man before him was unmistakably dead, and he felt relieved, reaching out to search the young man's body...

"This kid is an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect, he must have some treasures on him, right?"

After searching, they only found a cloth bag the size of a palm...

Ye Chen frowned slightly, staring at the cloth bag in front of him, and suddenly recalled how Lin Qinshuang seemed to have drawn her spiritual sword out of thin air when she made her move earlier...

"Could this be... a magical artifact used by cultivators to carry items?"

He examined the cloth bag in his hand, reaching into the opening. The space inside was quite large, and when his fingertips touched something hard, he immediately grabbed it and pulled it out.

Looking down, he saw several small, crystal-clear stones in his palm, faintly containing a kind of energy.

"What is this?"

He muttered to himself that it must be something good, and put it in his pocket for the time being.

Just as I was about to continue exploring, a spatial image suddenly appeared in my mind, filled with various miscellaneous items...

There were the shimmering stones they had previously retrieved, along with numerous bottles and jars, an exquisite wooden box, and lying spirit swords and knives...

With a thought, Ye Chen produced a white porcelain bottle in his hand, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"This bag truly is a storage artifact; it can retrieve things with a single thought..."

"Who knew this kid was such a fat sheep!"
