A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

Chen Yue's assassination attempt was just a minor incident for Ye Yun, but it also served as a reminder that he was being watched by Chen Tian'ao.

Therefore, in the following period, after Ye Yun reshaped two furnaces of Qi Gathering Pills, he continued to immerse himself in the abandoned pill room and cultivate diligently.

Even if Chen Tian'ao were incredibly bold, he probably wouldn't dare to directly send someone to kill him in this abandoned pill room.

After just a few days of arduous training, Ye Yun successfully broke through the bottleneck and reached the eleventh level of Qi Condensation!

"Finally, a breakthrough!"

Ye Yun took a deep breath. There were still ten days until the Three Saints Trial. If he had enough pills, he might actually be able to reach the peak of Qi Condensation!

Looking at the pills at hand, only three of the two batches of Qi Gathering Pills that had been reforged a few days ago remained.

"Honestly, these pills are too easy to consume."

However, if people knew his cultivation method, they would probably say something like, "With you eating pills like they're food, no amount of them would be enough!"

Just as Ye Yun was preparing to cultivate for two more days and then try to get some more pills.

Suddenly, there was a series of knocks on the door outside the pill-discarding room.

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then asked curiously.

"Is that Senior Sister Pei?"

But then I thought, no, if it were Pei Yuyan, she wouldn't knock on the door so formally.

Sure enough, a familiar voice came from outside the door.

"It's me, Xue Lan."

Ye Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately went out to greet them.

Upon opening the door, I saw Senior Sister Xue Lan from the inner sect. It had been quite a while since I had seen her.

Perhaps it was because her injuries had healed, but Senior Sister Xue Lan looked much healthier than before.

Ye Yun immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Senior Sister Xuelan, you are a rare guest indeed. Has your injury already healed?"

"Thanks to your medicine, I'm all better now."

Xue Lan nodded slightly, then glanced around and said.

"I came here this time to see where you, such a powerful alchemist, usually live."

"Ahem, it can't really be considered powerful."

Ye Yun still felt a little guilty about being called an alchemist.

Fortunately, Xue Lan's attention wasn't on that; she was more concerned about the environment of the abandoned pill room.

As she followed Ye Yun inside, she quickly frowned.

"What a strange smell. Have you been living here all this time?"

"That's right, I'm used to it."

Ye Yun smiled faintly, which made Xue Lan look at him with new respect.

With such alchemy skills, yet able to calm his mind and live in such a place, no wonder he has achieved such success; he truly has the demeanor of a master.

After looking him over, Xue Lan praised him.

"Now that I see it, I actually have some admiration for you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun chuckled softly.

"That would be a great honor."

The waste pill room was cluttered and reeked of waste pills.

Xue Lan searched for a while before finally finding a clean place to sit down, and then asked Ye Yun.

"By the way, you went to see Senior Sister Mo, right? Did the meeting go smoothly?"

As the middleman, she was quite concerned about this.

Ye Yun scratched his head, and couldn't help but think of all the things that happened between him and Mo Ruyan on Jade Maiden Peak.

Finally, he coughed lightly and said.

"Well, it went fairly smoothly."

"What about the deal?"

"It's done."

Ye Yun's affirmative answer surprised Xue Lan.

"Really? That senior sister is known for being aloof and hates interacting with people."

"At first she did disagree, but when she heard that I was going to the Trial of the Three Saints, she actually agreed readily, in exchange for doing something for her."

Ye Yun offered an explanation, but of course, being a reliable man, he did not reveal the specific details of the transaction.

Upon hearing this, Xue Lan looked at him in surprise and asked.

"So, you agreed?"

"Of course, I see no reason to refuse."

Ye Yun shrugged. In his opinion, this was no different from getting a sword manual for free.

After listening, Xue Lan remained silent for a moment, and finally sighed softly.

"Alright, you still have to participate in the Trial of the Three Saints."

She had initially thought that Ye Yun had given up after the last time.

It seems this guy is seeking the art of sword control in order to enter the Trial of the Three Saints.

At this point, Ye Yun smiled and stopped discussing the topic.

"Senior Sister Xuelan didn't come here just to check on me, did she?"

The reason I think this way is mainly because this senior sister's feelings for him are still at the stage of dislike.

It's impossible for him to come here specifically to care about himself.

Sure enough, Xue Lan, having her thoughts exposed, took a deep breath and said.

"You know my cousin, right?"

"Good, they should have been sent out on assignment by now, right?"

"Yes, but she was injured recently."

Xue Lan looked at Ye Yun and pondered for a moment.

"I want to ask you for a medicinal pill."

"OK."

Ye Yun nodded without hesitation.

Seeing this, Xue Lan hesitated for a moment.

"I need... a Grade 4 Gu-Transforming Pill."

As the name suggests, the main function of this Gu-dissolving pill is to neutralize the Gu poison of evil cultivators.

Like the Sacred Fire Pill from last time, it is a rather niche pill, and most alchemists wouldn't actually make it.

But Ye Yun... nodded again without hesitation.

"OK."

Xue Lan's face lit up with joy, and she then asked.

"So, do you think it can be refined today?"

"OK."

Seeing that Ye Yun agreed again, Xue Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you. You can refine it first, and I will pay you with Xuanjing later."

As a result, Ye Yun shook his head like a rattle drum.

"This won't do."

Xue Lan was stunned and asked, puzzled.

Why?

But Ye Yun smiled and looked at her with a slight upturn of his lips.

"I only accept payments for dual cultivation here."

These words left Xue Lan stunned.

Immediately, she glared at Ye Yun.

"You lecherous bastard!"

Unfortunately, Ye Yun responded to her complaints with a smug look.

"As the saying goes, a man who isn't lustful can't be a hero. Isn't that perfectly normal?"

"you……"

Xue Lan was speechless, choked by his twisted logic.

What frustrated her even more was that Ye Yun had already moved closer and started touching her.

Ye Yun put one arm around her waist, leaned close to her ear, and whispered with a smile.

"Senior sister, you actually felt pretty good last time too, right?"

Xue Lan pursed her lips and said irritably.

"How could that be? I didn't!"

Of course, she herself felt a little guilty saying that.

Ever since that experience, she sometimes can't control herself...

"Yeah?"

Ye Yun seemed to see through her heart and kissed her directly.

The sudden attack caught Xue Lan off guard.

Although with her strength, she could easily kick Ye Yun hundreds of meters away, she felt her delicate body go limp right now.

"You bastard..."

She wanted to scold Ye Yun, but when the words came out, they were met with an indescribable gentleness.

It even felt like she was being coquettish.

This boosted Ye Yun's confidence, making him even more reckless.

"Senior sister, think about it, we've already done it once, what's the harm in doing it again? Nobody will know anyway..."

"As for the benefits, just like last time, I'll give you two Flawless Gu-Transforming Pills, and your lovely cousin will be fine soon."

A series of temptations gradually stirred Xue Lan's emotions, leaving her torn between her inner turmoil and her own desires.

Until the very last mention of her cousin, it was a complete knockout.

Xue Lan collapsed into his arms, having already prepared her own reasons for defending herself.

That's right, I didn't want to do that kind of thing, nor was it because of physical attraction; it was simply to save my sister.

Finally, she gave a soft "hmm".

"Be gentle this time."

"Don't worry, I'll be very gentle..."
