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

"Hey kid, you didn't use up all those before, did you?"

Jin Liuli, recalling the many high-level waste pills she had given to the other party last time, asked in surprise.

Those were high-grade waste pills that their ancient holy land had acquired at a great price.

In terms of quantity, it is quite a lot.

Ye Yun scratched his head, slightly embarrassed.

"Indeed, I just used up the last one today."

"You've really used up a lot of energy."

Jin Liuli raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything more.

At this point, she seriously suspected that Ye Yun had eaten the discarded pills like candy.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to consume it so quickly.

Ye Yun simply smiled at Jin Liuli's criticism.

"There's no other way. In order to catch up with Nangong Jiutian, we have no choice but to disregard the energy expenditure."

To be honest, even at this speed, he still feels a little unsafe.

After all, the third level of the Emperor rank is just the starting point for Nangong Jiutian.

The opponent's cultivation level is currently unknown.

Then, he remembered something and asked the two of them a question.

"By the way, has Master come by?"

"Your master?"

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

"You mean, Senior Bai?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Ye Yun nodded and explained.

"These past two months have passed, she must have hit a new bottleneck and needs my help to break through, right?"

Upon hearing him mention this, Hong Xian'er and Jin Liuli exchanged a glance.

After that, Jin Liuli pointed behind him and said.

"Who's that over there?"

"Um?"

Ye Yun looked in the direction Jin Liuli was pointing and was surprised to find that it was Bai Liuli.

The other person had arrived at some point and was staring intently at him.

Judging from his expression, he seems to be sizing up his powerful disciple.

"Master! What a coincidence, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing Bai Liuli, Ye Yun couldn't help but smile.

Upon hearing this, Bai Liuli rolled her eyes at him and explained calmly.

"It's no coincidence. I heard you had come out of seclusion, so I came to see you."

After all, Ye Yun didn't hide anything when he came out of seclusion, and Hei Tong and the others all saw him.

It was perfectly normal for the news to reach Bai Liuli's ears.

Ye Yun smiled upon hearing this and teased him.

"I see. It seems Master really is... eager to see me."

Bai Liuli glared at him and snorted.

"What you're saying is ridiculous. My disciples have all broken through to the Emperor rank, and I didn't even know it."

"No matter what, this just doesn't make sense, does it?"

When Ye Yun advanced to the Emperor rank, she was in seclusion in her cave, so she naturally didn't notice.

When she received the news after her ordeal, she was extremely shocked.

When he tried to find Ye Yun again, the other party had already gone into seclusion, so he couldn't disturb him.

So I decided to have Hei Tong and the others keep an eye on things, and notify me as soon as Ye Yun comes out of seclusion.

That's why she came looking for Ye Yun as soon as he came out.

"Ahem, Master, I didn't mean to hide this from you."

Ye Yun coughed lightly and explained.

"You were cultivating at the time, so it wasn't appropriate for me to go in and disturb you."

"I know, and I haven't blamed you for anything."

Bai Liuli shook her head slightly and explained.

"I'm just a little surprised by how fast you've improved."

"He had just broken through to the peak of the Imperial Path, yet he has already advanced to the Emperor Rank. It's unbelievable."

Besides, the event itself also made her feel a sense of pride.

No matter who it is, if an Emperor-level expert is born among their disciples.

Just thinking about it is exciting enough!

"Well, that's a long story."

Ye Yun shrugged and chuckled.

"I'll tell Master about it slowly later."

"Hmm...okay."

Bai Liuli nodded slightly, agreeing with Ye Yun's words.

But after that, Ye Yun changed the subject and smiled at him.

"Speaking of which, Master... do you have anything else to say?"

The sudden question startled Bai Liuli.

"You mean...?"

Ye Yun smiled, his lips curving slightly upwards as he stared intently at her.

"Is there even a question? It's about marrying Master and becoming Daoist partners."

"Now...you have nothing more to say, right?"

Before that, he had not yet surpassed his master in terms of cultivation.

But things are different now. In terms of both combat strength and cultivation, he has surpassed his master by a significant margin.

Naturally, it was time to bring this up again.

"this……"

Bai Liuli froze for a moment, and a blush quickly spread across her face.

Why are you bringing this up again?

Judging from her expression, bringing up this matter in front of Jin Liuli and Hong Xian'er made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, Ye Yun wouldn't let her off the hook, and seized the opportunity to laugh.

"Is that even a question? Of course, it's because things haven't been finalized yet."

Then, he glanced at Hong Xian'er and Jin Liuli and asked.

"Xian'er, and Master... what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Hong Xian'er and Jin Liuli knew perfectly well what he meant by bringing this up at this time.

It's a bit like asking them to find a husband.

The two exchanged a glance, then looked at Ye Yun and Bai Liuli and replied with a smile.

"Didn't I say before that as long as you two are in love, you can decide these things yourselves?"

Without a doubt, making Ye Yun and Bai Liuli Dao partners is a double binding.

In this way, Ye Yun will truly share in the glory and prosperity of the Ancient Holy Land.

Even setting aside the part about those benefits.

Just considering Bai Liuli's identity, there's not much to say about her being with Ye Yun.

The other party sacrificed herself for Ye Yun's sake, so it's only natural that she would later get together with him.

"See? I told you Master and Xian'er supported us."

Ye Yun smiled when he saw that they agreed.

Then, he stared straight at Bai Liuli and asked.

"Well, Master, can you accept my proposal now?"

These words were extremely blunt, without the slightest attempt to conceal anything.

As a result, Bai Liuli's blush deepened, and she glared at Ye Yun.

"You brat, we'll talk about this another time."

"No problem, we can talk about it another time."

As Ye Yun finished speaking, he winked at Bai Liuli.

Bai Liuli was initially surprised that Ye Yun had suddenly become so considerate.

But upon further reflection, I realized that what the other person meant later was not quite right.

Why does it feel like the other person's use of "later" is not a noun, but a verb?

"you……"

Bai Liuli was so ashamed by his antics that she wanted to disappear into the ground.

As Ye Yun's master, he is usually very aloof.

But facing Ye Yun now completely ruined her image.

Seeing this, Ye Yun couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, okay, enough joking around."

He still had some sense of propriety and didn't continue teasing his master.

It wasn't that she had a change of heart, but rather that she realized some things have to have limits.

What if we break our master now? Wouldn't that cause trouble later?

He looked at Bai Liuli and smiled.

"We'll talk about becoming Daoist partners after I win the bet with Senior Nangong."

"bet?"

Bai Liuli paused for a moment, then asked in a strange tone.

"The bet you mentioned is..."

"Well, that's a long story..."

Ye Yun did not hide anything and explained it to him.

This was something Bai Liuli didn't know before.

After learning that Ye Yun had advanced to the Emperor rank and gone into seclusion, she returned to her nameless peak to cultivate.

Therefore, they were still unaware of the bet between Ye Yun and Nangong Jiutian.

After listening to Ye Yun's story, Bai Liuli was filled with astonishment.

"Isn't that a bit too much of a gamble?"

Although it is unknown what Ye Yun has put up as a wager.

However, being able to match the conditions offered by the other party is clearly not an ordinary thing.

Ye Yun, however, didn't seem to care and instead showed a playful expression.

"It's only fun when the stakes are high—all or nothing!"

"Once we win this round, the Ancient Path Holy Land will truly lack nothing!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Liuli frowned slightly and looked at him with concern, asking.

"Are you really confident about this bet?"

"If we lose, will it have any major negative impact on you?"

Compared to the interests of any holy land, she was more concerned about Ye Yun himself.

This concern warmed Ye Yun's heart.

Master is still my master after all.

Even if one advances to the Emperor rank and becomes a peak expert, the other party will still have concerns.

Seeing the other party's concern, Ye Yun smiled and explained.

"Master, you don't need to worry. Putting aside the bet, I have considerable confidence."

Even if my opponent is truly more skilled and wins, the actual impact on me in the future will be very limited.

This is one of the reasons why Ye Yun dared to make a bet with Nangong Jiutian.

After all, in his view, the rewards and risks of this bet were not commensurate.

The returns far outweigh the risks, so who wouldn't want to gamble and risk a bet?

"I see...that's good."

Bai Liuli finally felt relieved after hearing Ye Yun's explanation.

Since the benefits outweigh the drawbacks of the bet, it is indeed worth taking the challenge.

Especially now, this bet is continuously stimulating Ye Yun, driving him and Nangong Jiutian to fight tooth and nail.

This would undoubtedly be of great benefit to Ye Yun's own cultivation.

"So, are you planning to continue your seclusion after this?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun pondered for a moment before replying.

"That's about right. After resting for a couple of days, I'll continue my seclusion to try and break through to the Great Perfection of the Emperor Rank!"

"Hmm...that's good, I'll have more energy to push forward after a rest."

Bai Liuli agreed with Ye Yun's decision.

However, Ye Yun was clearly thinking about something else.

He looked at his master, Bai Liuli, in front of him, especially her long, fair legs, and asked with amusement.

"Alright, Master, if I'm not mistaken, you've probably already hit a bottleneck, haven't you?"

"this……"

Upon hearing this, Bai Liuli froze for a moment.

Ye Yun, however, had already cast a meaningful glance at him.

"It seems I was right."

"In that case, Master, let me help you break through to the next level!"
