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

Ye Yun looked at Hong Xian'er beside him and called out with concern.

"Xian'er? Are you alright?"

"What do you think?"

Hong Xian'er lay on the bed, her skin flushed, and slowly moved her head to look at her.

At that moment, she seemed to have all her strength drained away, and her voice was weak.

Her eyes were streaked with tears; this was the first time she had ever looked like this.

Even when Ye Yun tied her up and tormented her before, she was never as disheveled as she was this time.

If it weren't for their relatively high cultivation level and stronger willpower, they would probably have fainted by now.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Ye Yun said helplessly.

"If that's the case, why didn't Xian'er beg for mercy just now?"

"..."

Hong Xian'er turned around, her face flushed, and pursed her lips.

"My mind went completely blank at the time, and I forgot everything."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.

"So, Xian'er still likes it quite a bit, right?"

"No, I didn't..."

Hong Xian'er immediately denied it; she truly hadn't expected the other party to become so much stronger all of a sudden.

At first, I wasn't used to it, but after that, I became completely immersed in it.

So much so that before, it didn't feel like reality, but rather like a dream.

And it was precisely because of this that she even forgot to beg for mercy...

Seeing her current state, Ye Yun decided not to bother her any further.

He put his arm around the other person from behind and smiled.

"Xian'er, why don't you rest for a while?"

"Um……"

Hong Xian'er nodded gently, then used all her strength to turn around with difficulty.

The two looked at each other, and Ye Yun was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..."

Looking at Ye Yun in front of her, Hong Xian'er reached out and hugged him, burying her face in his chest.

Clearly, she was thinking of facing Ye Yun and falling asleep while holding him.

Looking at the Holy Maiden who had quickly fallen asleep in his arms, Ye Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

It seems I've really become much stronger, having practically turned Hong Xian'er into a pampered little wife?

"Hmm...that's really good."

Ye Yun smiled slightly, reached out and hugged her as they fell asleep.

……

Two days later, at the sacred site of the ancient road.

With the fleet's return, news of the True Inheritance Arena's achievements quickly spread throughout the Holy Land.

Compared to Qin Ya, the senior sister who was already famous throughout the holy land, Ye Yun's victory in first place was undoubtedly more shocking.

In an instant, the topic of Ye Yun was being discussed everywhere in the Holy Land.

"Ye Yun? He actually got first place?"

"Isn't he a newly promoted disciple? Is he really that weak in this discipleship competition?"

"It's a cover-up! This is absolutely a cover-up!"

"Screw you! What kind of blackmail is this, an event jointly organized by the three holy lands?"

"..."

There are all sorts of things said in the holy land.

Even some of the people who went to the True Inheritance Arena recounted Ye Yun's performance.

This completely shattered some people's conspiracy theories, and also because of the embellishments of certain narrators.

Ye Yun fought with all his might to defeat the Ghost Demon of the Nine Netherworld Holy Land!

He concealed his true strength from the beginning, which allowed him to defeat Ghost Slayer in the finals!

Later, when Ye Yun saw his senior sister injured, he was enraged and easily defeated Gui Sha with one hand!

Despite the rampant spread of outrageous rumors, there is one thing that everyone has to admit.

That is Ye Yun now, the number one Core Formation cultivator in the Eastern Continent!

Of course, they were unaware that Ye Yun had already broken through to the Yuanling realm.

……

Throughout the entire ancient holy land, everyone was talking about Ye Yun.

Ye Yun, the person involved, sighed on the nameless peak.

After returning, to avoid being blocked in the abandoned pill room, Hong Xian'er told him to stay there first.

As for the abandoned pill room, well... it's been temporarily handed over to Gu Linlang to handle.

At this moment, Ye Yun was sitting under a tree, listening to Qian Rou tell him the rumors she had heard.

Ye Yun's assessment of this was...

"What the hell are they spreading these rumors about?"

Ye Yun was both amused and exasperated; this was practically trying to elevate him to a pedestal!

"Sigh, anyway, junior brother, you've really become a celebrity now."

Qianrou sat to one side, pinched him, and said with emotion.

"You have no idea, since you came back today, at least a dozen friends have come looking for me."

"Several of them asked me to inquire whether you need concubines or cultivation partners."

"And countless others who want to get to know you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun gasped.

"No, is it really that exaggerated?"

This is the first time I've experienced what it's like to be a celebrity.

After becoming a true disciple, he gained some popularity, with many people trying to get closer to him.

But compared to what's in front of us, it's nothing.

"It's much more exaggerated than you think!"

Qianrou shrugged and said helplessly.

"Otherwise, why would I be hiding here, too afraid to even go down the mountain?"

"Also, I advise you not to stay here, lest you be surrounded by people if you go down."

In her opinion, Ye Yun would probably be targeted after walking only a few steps.

Ye Yun nodded in response to her reminder.

"Okay, I've got it."

At this moment, Qianrou leaned against him and pinched his cheek.

"But I really didn't expect that you, who joined the sect the latest, would improve so quickly."

"In the blink of an eye, even I, your senior sister, have to rely on your brilliance."

Whenever she thinks of this, she feels a little lost.

He used to be the one protecting his junior brother, but now, he's the one being surpassed by his junior brother.

Ye Yun smiled and said this.

"It's okay, senior sister, I'll protect you from now on!"

"That's a deal!"

Qianrou paused for a moment, then smiled sweetly.

Just as the two were talking, a silver figure descended from the sky; it was their master, Bai Liuli.

Upon seeing her, Ye Yun and Qian Rou both stood up and bowed.

"Greetings, Master!"

Bai Liuli waved her hand, then glanced at Qian Rou.

"You little brat, did you hit the daughter of the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall?"

"Ahem, it's not because she has a sharp tongue, so when she gets angry she..."

At the end, Qianrou stuck out her tongue and immediately hid behind Ye Yun.

The latter was taken aback when he heard the name of the deputy hall master of the law enforcement hall.

At this moment, Bai Liuli glared at Qian Rou.

"This matter has caused quite a stir. It has been reported to the Holy Maiden. You must go to the Holy Maiden's Palace immediately to resolve this."

"Hmm... I understand."

Qianrou looked reluctant, but under her master's authority, she had no choice but to agree.

"Junior brother, you stay here for now, I'll be right back."

Only after she left did Ye Yun remember.

Isn't the daughter of the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall Jiang Lan, the one he had a conflict with before?

Come to think of it, he hadn't even had a chance to deal with the other person before he got beaten up by Senior Sister Qianrou first...

"Master, is she... alright?"

"It's nothing serious, just have her apologize later."

Bai Liuli didn't take it seriously, clearly not taking it to heart.

Then, her gaze fell directly on Ye Yun.

"But you, I heard you won first place in the True Inheritance Arena?"

"While tempering his body at Tianchi, he awakened a special physique and broke through to the Yuanling realm?"

Ye Yun immediately nodded and said with a smile.

"That's right! This is all thanks to Master taking me to the Black Abyss for special training!"

This is his honest opinion; if it weren't for the previous special training...

Given the strength of his opponents on this true inheritance stage, he might not actually be able to take first place.

Putting everything else aside, he probably wouldn't be able to handle Yue Jingxin alone...

At that time, there's no need to talk about tempering the body at Tianchi.

Bai Liuli smiled slightly and said with satisfaction.

"I also inquired about the arena."

"You did a great job this time, bringing great honor to our ancient holy land."

"It seems that the Holy Lord's decision to have me take you in was indeed the right one."

These words of praise left Ye Yun stunned.

"Master, what did you just say? Did the Holy Lord order you to take me as your disciple?"

Bai Liuli did not hide this fact.

She nodded, but did not answer his question directly.

"Do you remember the day you became my disciple, when you asked me why I wanted to take you on as my apprentice?"

"Of course I remember!"

Ye Yun nodded heavily.

At the time, the master only said that he would know in time.

Ye Yun then realized what was going on and asked in surprise.

"Master, so that means the Holy Lord..."

"Exactly."

Bai Liuli responded and then slowly explained.

"That time I was late, it was because the Holy Lord summoned me, hoping that I could take you as my disciple."

"I can't believe... such a thing exists."

This answer was truly unexpected.

If I remember correctly, back then, His Majesty the Holy Lord didn't think much of me, right?

So it seems the other person is a blonde tsundere...

At this moment, Bai Liuli looked at him and said.

"In fact, at the time, I also felt that your conditions were not good, and even if I had accepted you, your achievements would have been limited."

"Now it seems you've truly slapped your teacher in the face and proven yourself."

In the end, Bai Liuli showed an approving expression.

"Ahem, this is also because Master taught me well."

Ye Yun was a little embarrassed by the praise.

Although the truth of the story was somewhat different from what I had expected.

It wasn't that my master saw my potential and then ignored other people's opinions, forcibly taking me in.

But she did indeed treat him as her own disciple afterward, which led to who he is today.

Therefore, Ye Yun's gratitude towards his master remained unchanged.

"By the way, Master, have you gathered all the ingredients for the Jade Heart Pill you mentioned looking for last time?"

Bai Liuli paused for a moment, then nodded.

"That? It'll be ready soon."

"If that's the case, then Master, you don't need to look anymore."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing his words, Bai Liuli asked with some surprise.

"Could it be that you really found the medicinal herbs?"

Ye Yun had said before that he would help her, but she hadn't taken it to heart at all.

In Bai Liuli's opinion, with Ye Yun's cultivation level, it would be difficult for him to access these high-level medicinal herbs.

However, Ye Yun shook his head.

"We don't have any medicinal herbs."

After saying that, he smiled and extended his hand.

"But my disciple managed to get the elixirs!"

In his palm, a jade box appeared.

Upon opening it, a silver pill was found inside, emitting a rich fragrance.

Without a doubt, this was the Jade Heart Pill that Ye Yun obtained from Cang Lan.

Bai Liuli's face was filled with surprise when she saw the pill.

She picked it up and examined it closely, confirming that it was indeed the Jade Heart Pill, and that its quality was quite good.

Immediately, she looked up at Ye Yun and asked in surprise.

"Where did you get this elixir?"

Ye Yun smiled faintly and explained.

"It's quite a coincidence that I unexpectedly encountered a senior who had this elixir while in Shenwu City."

"So they used some tricks to switch the Jade Heart Pill with it."

This time, he was telling the absolute truth.

But in Bai Liuli's view, this was still somewhat unbelievable.

She frowned slightly and asked him.

"What did you trade for it?"

"This... is confidential, but it's definitely a legitimate method!"

Ye Yun kept everyone in suspense.

He was also gambling that his master wouldn't ask any further questions.

As expected, seeing that he wasn't going to speak, Bai Liuli fell silent for a moment.

Then she took a deep breath and said to Ye Yun.

Even so, I will not ask any further questions.

"This elixir will be of great help to your master. Is there any reward you would like to receive?"

Finally, Bai Liuli looked at him seriously and asked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun scratched his head and said.

"No need for that, after all, Master, you have helped me a lot."

"No, this is not the same."

Bai Liuli shook her head slightly.

On the mainland, it has always been the master who takes care of the disciple and provides them with cultivation resources.

As a master, it's obviously unreasonable for him to take his apprentice's things for free.

"Okay, then let me think about what kind of reward I want..."

Ye Yun hesitated for a moment. If it were someone else, he might have asked if he wanted to get one.

But this was his master. If he said that, he might get slapped and sent flying.

After thinking it over, Ye Yun's eyes lit up, and he smiled.

"I've got it! My senior and I achieved excellent results this time."

"If Master has time, could you personally cook us a big meal?"

Bai Liuli was taken aback when she heard the reward he proposed.

"That's all...?"

"Okay, that's it!"

Ye Yun nodded and smiled.

"I think Master hasn't done this for Senior Sister yet, has he?"

"That's true. After I started cultivating, I rarely came into contact with these things."

Bai Liuli spends the vast majority of her time cultivating.

As for cooking, there was obviously little opportunity for that.

"So, that's what makes it meaningful and quite interesting, isn't it?"

Ye Yun grinned and asked him.

"How is it, Master?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Liuli pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, I promise you, I'll do it for you in a few days."

Seeing that she agreed, Ye Yun couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, thank you, Master!"

"It's alright, I'm the one who benefited."

After saying that, she glanced at Ye Yun and pondered for a moment.

"To be honest, I was quite surprised."

"Huh? What's the surprise?"

"I was wondering if, given your personality, you might take this opportunity to have me do some things with you."

"Cough cough, how could that be!"

Ye Yun cleared his throat and said with a serious expression.

"My disciple is not the kind of person who would take advantage of someone in distress."

If Pei Yuyan and the others were here, they would probably roll their eyes at him.

If you're not the kind of person who takes advantage of others in their time of need, then there's no such person in the world.

Upon hearing this, Bai Liuli seemed to be deep in thought.

"Looking at it this way, it seems I had a stereotype."

Ye Yun looked at his master and couldn't help but ask.

"If it's as Master means, what if I had actually mentioned that just now?"

"If that's the case..."

Bai Liuli paused for a moment, then smiled slightly.

"Who knows?"

Before Ye Yun could ask any more questions, she turned around and said.

"Alright, I need to go into seclusion for a few days. Please inform Xiaoya and the others."

"Furthermore, after we emerge from seclusion, your master will prepare a grand feast for you."

She originally had other plans, but now that she has the Jade Heart Pill, she is focused on breaking through the bottleneck.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun's eyes lit up.

"No problem, then I wish Master a successful breakthrough!"

"I hope so."

Bai Liuli responded and then returned to her cave to begin her seclusion.

Ye Yun also sat cross-legged under the tree and entered a meditative state.

"This is what the realm of primordial spirits feels like."

Within his body, the pill formed from profound energy transformed into a small human form.

In terms of appearance, she looks exactly like him, which is quite novel.

It's a bit like the Nascent Soul stage in the cultivation stories I used to read.

The power it contains is several times stronger than before, a significant difference.

The biggest change was in the speed at which he absorbed Xuan Qi.

As Ye Yun closed his eyes to meditate and began cultivating, a tidal wave of profound energy surged towards him.

"Wow, is this the cultivation speed of a genius...?"

I already felt the difference when I upgraded my talent from the mortal level to the profound level.

But now, to advance from the mortal level to the heavenly level in one fell swoop is simply a world of difference!

"If you add elixirs to that, it's simply heaven-defying!"

Now Ye Yun understood why Gu Linlang was so much faster than him, even though both of them had unlimited pills.

However, from now on, their situation may be reversed!

……

Half a day later, Qianrou returned.

Judging from her expression, she seemed to be in a very good mood.

Upon seeing Ye Yun, she smiled and waved.

"Junior brother! I'm back!"

Ye Yun, who was cultivating under the tree, opened his eyes and looked at her curiously, asking a question.

"Have you finished handling things on your end?"

"Yes, Sister Xian'er mediated and told me to just apologize and that was it."

Judging from this, they don't seem to think there's anything wrong with apologizing.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yun couldn't help but ask.

"So? Senior Sister, why did you have a conflict with Jiang Lan?"

"It's all because of that guy. He was spreading rumors about you behind your back, and when I heard it, I beat him up."

"Oh? Because of that?"

"Yeah! She really thinks we're nobody on Nameless Peak!"

Ye Yun broke out in a cold sweat and immediately asked.

"You beat her badly?"

"Ahem, well, there is a tiny bit of that."

Qianrou stretched out her finger and gestured, but it looked like she was pointing to a universe.

"Anyway, she shouldn't be able to spread rumors for a while."

The fact that Qianrou was so happy despite being forced to apologize to the other party clearly indicates that she was severely beaten.

Ye Yun was both amused and exasperated, and greeted them with clasped hands.

"Thank you so much, Senior Sister."

Thinking to herself that her senior sister was ruthless enough, she didn't care about anything else and just took action.

But at the same time, the other party's protection of him also made him feel extremely warm.

"Oh, it was nothing."

Qianrou waved her hand and laughed, then suddenly slapped her forehead as if she remembered something.

"Oh right, look at my forgetful brain! Sister Xian'er told me to pass this on to you!"

"Hmm? What message are you sending?"

"She said that His Holiness has summoned you and that you should go there immediately after hearing the news."

"..."

Ye Yun, who was sitting leisurely, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Then, he immediately stood up.

"Senior sister, why didn't you say so sooner!"

After saying that, he vanished in a flash, heading straight for the Holy Maiden's Palace.

When Ye Yun arrived at the Holy Maiden's Palace, the maids at the entrance all bowed.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Ye."

Ye Yun simply responded and rushed in, heading straight for the study.

During the daytime, unless she is resting, Hong Xian'er is usually in the study.

As soon as he rushed in, Ye Yun hurriedly asked.

"Xian'er, I heard that the Holy Lord has summoned us? I'm not too late, am I?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a familiar female voice came from ahead.

"You've come at the right time. But next time, please don't address me as such an old man."
