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

"That person called himself Nangong, is there a problem?"

Bai Ruoruo was somewhat surprised to see her shocked expression.

This person's reaction was really too much.

Upon hearing Bai Ruoruo's reaffirmation, Fei Qingluo's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Could it really be him?"

There are quite a few people in the world with the compound surname Nangong.

However, if they could also produce high-grade pills at the same time, then the scope would be a bit limited.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoruo paused for a moment, then looked up at Fei Qingluo and asked in confusion.

"Could it be... that Sister Qingluo knows him?"

"The Fellow Daoist Nangong you mentioned, is he...?"

Fei Qinglu described the image of Nangong in her memory.

After listening, Bai Ruoruo's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded.

"That's right, it's pretty much what you said!"

After saying that, she thought of Fei Qingluo's reaction just now and asked in surprise.

"Sister Qingluo, you really do recognize him?"

"Hmm... if it's him, then it is."

Fei Qinglu nodded slightly, a strange expression on her face.

Unexpectedly, Nangong actually appeared in Wanmeng City.

Wait, it appeared in Wanmeng City?

Oh right, Ye Yun mentioned that when he came back today...

Fei Qinglu thought of the Dao Integration Pill that Ye Yun took out when he returned today.

So it seems that the pill was obtained from Bai Zhi.

"What exactly is the relationship between those two?"

Fei Qingluo found it increasingly strange.

For no other reason than that Fellow Daoist Nangong was being ridiculously kind to Ye Yun.

They even gave him ninth-grade pills so easily.

After that, she asked the two women a question out of curiosity.

"Speaking of which... what did that Fellow Daoist Nangong do here? Why did he give you the pills so easily?"

Bai Zhi pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"That's right, that Fellow Daoist Nangong only exchanged it for the Dao Integration Pill in my hand."

"Apart from that, I didn't ask for anything else."

Strictly speaking, he wasn't lying when he said that.

Regarding the Rejuvenating Pill alone, the other party did not have any further requests.

As for the subsequent dual cultivation, that was for the remaining two pills and had nothing to do with the Rejuvenation Pill...

"Oh, that's good then..."

Fei Qinglu nodded and chuckled softly.

It seems that Fellow Daoist Nangong is still as principled as I remembered.

Then, she smiled and said.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

Fei Qinglu looked at the two women and said with a smile.

"It's been a long time, let's find a place to have a drink..."

……

On the other side, Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er continued their date as previously agreed.

The streets of Wanmeng City were just as bustling and lively as yesterday, with people coming and going.

However, the information Ye Yun brought back, and the things that needed to be done later, made Hong Xian'er's expression somewhat strange.

Noticing her expression, Ye Yun said helplessly.

"Xian'er, we're on a date, you don't need to always look so gloomy, come smile!"

In response to his teasing, Hong Xian'er glared at him with her beautiful eyes and pursed her lips.

"How can I possibly laugh in this situation?"

Not to mention that we found traces of the Ascension Sect here.

Ye Yun even went to investigate personally.

Hong Xian'er's heart naturally jumped into her throat.

Ye Yun looked at her and asked.

"Are you worried about what the Church of Ascension is doing here?"

"Um...and you too."

Hong Xian'er was quite frank about this matter.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yun chuckled.

"It's alright, we've got connections in Wanmeng City, haven't we?"

"If we can truly uncover the Ascension Sect's purpose, we will surely be able to find someone to help us."

"As for me... I've completed so many dangerous missions, what's one more infiltration mission?"

Listening to his story, Hong Xian'er couldn't help but sigh softly.

"I understand the logic, but I still feel uneasy."

"Sigh, I think you're overthinking things, Xian'er."

Ye Yun took her hand and said with a smile.

"Let's go, I'll take you to find something good to eat!"

However, the two hadn't gone very far.

The voice of Nangong Jiutian echoed in his mind.

"Kid, someone's been following you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun frowned slightly.

"Hmm? What level of cultivation?"

Nangong Jiutian chuckled and said indifferently.

"The Foundation Establishment Realm, it's still that guy from last time."

"..."

Ye Yun's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but say something.

"You mean the one that got scared and ran away?"

"That's right."

Nangong Jiutian gave an affirmative answer.

This made Ye Yun wary.

"Does this mean my identity has been exposed?"

Otherwise, why would they come looking for us again?

"It doesn't seem like it."

Nangong Jiutian said calmly.

"Having learned from the last experience, if he knew you were 'Nangong,' he probably wouldn't dare to come knocking on my door again."

She was somewhat confident in her ability to scare people.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun fell into deep thought.

"Wait, could it be...?"

After thinking about it for a while, he vaguely understood.

"Do you think it might be because I hit Chen Feng in the street last time?"

If I had to say where I've offended the Chen family, it would only be by beating up Chen Feng in the street yesterday.

Nangong Jiutian agreed with his speculation.

"Yes, that's very likely, and the logic makes sense."

It was precisely because the other party did not realize that he was Nangong that he dared to follow.

It must be Chen Feng, or rather the Chen family, who are planning to take revenge on me.

Thinking of this, Ye Yun felt relieved and wasn't too worried.

As long as his identity isn't exposed, that's fine. Even if the Chen family sends someone to deal with him, they won't send a powerful expert.

In the end, Ye Yun did not show any abnormality and went on his date with Hong Xian'er as usual.

During this period, he asked Nangong Jiutian to observe and track the person.

It's fairly certain that the other party doesn't intend to make a move for the time being.

The reason was that during this period, he deliberately found a secluded place suitable for a sudden assassination.

But the person tracking them showed no signs of making a move, clearly indicating that their orders were merely to monitor...

"Let's go back to the inn and rest for a while."

Ye Yun glanced at the darkening sky, then turned to look at the listless Hong Xian'er.

She looked like this most of the time.

Hearing that she had to go back, she didn't have any objections and nodded.

"Hmm... okay."

Shortly afterward, the two returned to the inn via the same route.

Upon returning to his room, Ye Yun immediately activated a soundproof barrier.

Seeing this, Hong Xian'er was stunned for a moment.

"Ye Yun, why are you setting up a barrier? You're not thinking of... again, are you?"

Even though they're outside, they don't usually turn on the soundproof barrier when they're chatting.

The barrier is only activated when discussing important matters, or during dual cultivation, to prevent others from overhearing.

Ye Yun just returned from a date, and now he's already set up a protective barrier. It's hard not to think the wrong thing...

"Of course not, Xian'er, what are you thinking?"

Ye Yun shook his head, saying helplessly.

"I'm not someone whose mind is full of pornographic material."

Hong Xian'er was silent for a moment, then said softly.

"I think it's hard to say."

"..."

Ye Yun's lips twitched slightly as he spoke slowly.

"Looks like Xian'er, you need some more guidance!"

Hong Xian'er rolled her eyes at him and said in a low voice.

"Alright, hurry up and tell me what it is!"

Ye Yun shook his head and explained.

"Our date today was being followed."

Upon hearing this, Hong Xian'er's expression changed slightly, and she immediately asked.

"Really? How did you know?"

You should know that I'm always quite vigilant when I'm out.

Even so, they failed to discover that someone was secretly following them.

Ye Yun coughed lightly, offering an excuse.

"I have a special ability to counter tracking, which is why I was able to discover it."

"I see..."

Hong Xian'er nodded thoughtfully, seemingly not taking it too seriously.

The main reason is that Ye Yun has shown too many special qualities, so this ability doesn't seem so incredible.

Then, she frowned and asked.

"Then do you know who is following you?"

Ye Yun nodded and began to explain.

"I know, it should be a cultivator from the Chen family."

"The Chen family..."

Hong Xian'er frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.

"Could it be because of what happened last time?"

For her, the only thing she could think of that would offend the Chen family was hitting Chen Feng in the street last time.

Ye Yun agreed with this.

"I think that's why too."

Hong Xian'er pondered for a moment, then asked in a deep voice.

"What do you think we should do now?"

Being targeted by local bullies is not a good thing.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun thought for a moment and said.

"For the time being, the people following us don't seem to have any intention of making a move."

"I think... we can hold back for now and pretend we don't know anything."

At this point, he glanced at Hong Xian'er and gave her instructions.

"Xian'er, you stay at the inn and wait for Senior Fei to return."

As he spoke, he picked up a communication talisman and sent the message out.

As long as Fei Qingluo remains in Wanmeng City, she will be able to return in a short while.

Seeing this, Hong Xian'er frowned and asked.

"And what about you?"

The other party told him to stay in the room, which clearly meant he didn't intend to stay there.

Ye Yun shrugged and explained.

"Of course I am. I'm going to investigate the Ascension Sect's base outside the city as planned."

Being targeted by the Chen family is a minor matter; the real big deal is the trouble the Ascension Sect is causing!

However, Hong Xian'er was stunned for a moment.

"How are you going to go? Aren't there Chen family cultivators watching outside?"

"That's easy."

Ye Yun's lips curled up slightly, and his entire appearance underwent a dramatic change.

He quickly transformed from Ye Yun into a completely unfamiliar figure, and then reverted back to Ye Yun.

"See? I have the Thousand Illusions Mask. I can just change my face when we go out later."

"this……"

Hong Xian'er paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, that's definitely possible."

After all, there are quite a few guests in this inn.

Since the other party came later, they certainly wouldn't remember every guest who came in.

Then, she looked at Ye Yun and gave him some instructions.

"But no matter what, you must be very careful."

"Okay, don't worry."

Ye Yun smiled faintly and stepped forward to kiss him on the lips.

"My fairy wife, wait for me to return, then we can cultivate properly again!"

Seeing this, Hong Xian'er blushed slightly, but still nodded.

"Hmm...come back soon."

Just as the two were saying goodbye, there was a knock on the door from the outside, at a specific frequency.

Seeing this, Hong Xian'er and Ye Yun exchanged a glance and both breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The knocking was undoubtedly from Fei Qingluo, and when the door was opened, it was indeed her.

"Your Highness, what has happened?!"

As soon as she returned, Fei Qingluo looked around and asked with a serious expression.

According to the previous agreement, they would not use the communication talisman to urgently recall themselves unless something serious happened.

You could tell from the smell of alcohol on her that she had been drinking with others until just now...

"Senior, please let Xian'er explain the specifics."

Ye Yun glanced at Fei Qingluo, then, not intending to linger any longer, got up and left.

Seeing this, Fei Qingluo's expression turned strange.

After watching the other person leave, she asked in confusion.

"What happened to that kid?"

"Senior, please come in first before we talk."

Hong Xian'er gave a serious reminder.

Only after the two returned to the room and reactivated the soundproof barrier did Hong Xian'er speak seriously.

"Senior, the situation is like this..."

Ye Yun, downstairs, found a secluded spot and quietly altered his appearance.

After finishing, Ye Yun composed himself and left the front desk with an air of nonchalance.

"Please take care, distinguished guest!"

As I walked over, the waiter even gave me a warm farewell.

Only after the other person had gone far away did he begin to have some doubts.

"Strange... I don't think I've seen that person before."

The waiter shook his head, thinking that he probably just hadn't noticed.

After all, there were too many people staying in this inn, and he couldn't possibly remember what everyone looked like.

After Ye Yun went outside, he noticed that the people following them were outside, seemingly keeping a close eye on their inn.

As soon as he and Xian'er went out, he would follow closely behind...

This time, however, Ye Yun's transformation did not attract the other party's attention.

The person in the shadows seemed to glance at him only once before looking away.

And so, Ye Yun left the inn, left the street, and even left the city in a seemingly blatant manner...

"It seems they really haven't been discovered."

After leaving Wanmeng City, Ye Yun had Nangong Jiutian scout around and found no one following them.

So, what we need to do next is the main event of tonight.

Ye Yun took out a map, confirmed the location, and then sped towards his destination.

During this process, he did not forget to ask Nangong Jiutian to help him conceal his aura.

In this way, apart from Emperor-level experts, other cultivators would be unable to detect him...

……

The distance of two hundred miles did not take Ye Yun, who was at the peak of the extraordinary realm, too long.

Soon after, he arrived near the destination marked on the map, but found nothing.

It makes sense, considering that Bai Ruoruo only accidentally wandered near the base, rather than directly entering it.

Therefore, if the Ascension Sect had a base here, it should be in a nearby location.

Sure enough, after Ye Yun conducted a thorough search, he quickly discovered something unusual on the right.

What came into view was a rather remote little valley, from which a faint light shone.

Ye Yun moved a little closer to observe and indeed saw many simple buildings below, as well as black-robed cultivators coming and going.

Without even needing to observe closely, judging from its appearance alone, this is undoubtedly the headquarters of the Ascension Sect!

A sharp glint flashed in Ye Yun's eyes, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"There really is one... It seems to be a temporary outpost."

Judging from the simple buildings below and the many facilities that are obviously newly built, it is clear that they were just set up here.

Ye Yun frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask a question in his mind.

"Senior Nangong, what do you think these guys are planning to do here?"

Nangong Jiutian rolled his eyes at him and said indifferently.

"How would I know? Why don't you go down and ask them?"

I thought to myself, "This kid really thinks he's omnipotent, doesn't he?"

Ye Yun felt helpless and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he observed for a while longer.

Just then, he sensed someone approaching from behind and quickly hid himself.

Sure enough, after a while, a dark shadow swept over his head. The cultivator was at the second level of the Life and Death Realm and fell straight into the valley.

After checking his identification, the man was allowed to enter the camp...

Ye Yun, who was just wondering how to infiltrate, immediately had an idea when he saw this scene.

"It seems that people still come to this post from time to time. In that case..."

He immediately retreated quietly and went in the opposite direction.

At the same time, Ye Yun gave some instructions to Nangong.

"Senior, please keep an eye out and warn us if any cultivators at the Life and Death Realm come by."

The other person's perception range is far greater than her own; she's better at this kind of thing.

Nangong Jiutian seemed to have guessed his purpose and said leisurely.

"You're planning to change your skin again?"

Ye Yun smiled and nodded, speaking frankly.

"That's right, it's the simplest way!"

Soon after, Ye Yun merged with the darkness, waiting for the arrival of the destined one.

He didn't have to wait long before Nangong Jiutian's voice came through.

"In the southeast direction, a cultivator at the second level of the Life and Death Realm is heading towards the encampment."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun immediately perked up and moved quickly through the night.

Meanwhile, somewhere to its southeast, a black-robed monk was rushing towards the camp.

When he is outside, he will also be vigilant and pay attention to his surroundings.

But as he approached his post, he couldn't help but relax a little.

He was muttering something under his breath.

"Sigh... I hope we don't run into Elder Bifeng later."

However, just as he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his neck, his vision went black, and he fell straight down, losing consciousness.

However, he did not fall to the ground, but was grabbed by Ye Yun.

Not long after, in a cave far from here.

Under the moonlight, Ye Yun looked at the black-robed cultivator lying on the ground with a very satisfied expression.

"Great, everything went smoothly!"

With his extraordinary peak cultivation, dealing with a cultivator at the second level of the Life and Death Realm was a piece of cake!

Then, Ye Yun casually removed the mask from his face, and was stunned by what she saw.

"Wow... what a handsome guy."

Ye Yun stroked his chin and nodded approvingly.

"I feel like they're almost half as good as me."

In his mind, Nangong Jiutian sighed softly.

Although nothing was said, it was as if everything had been said.

I have to say, the guy I captured is quite good-looking and has the potential to be a gigolo.

Immediately, Ye Yun transformed his own appearance to resemble the other party's.

After finishing, he thought of something and directly reached out and pressed his hand on the other person's forehead.

At the same time, Ye Yun set up a soundproof barrier around them.

At this moment, he decided to try out the special methods he had learned before...

"Soul Search!"
