Chapter 66: Gathering Qi Pellet (Third Watch)

  Ji couldn't bear to look at Ye Chen and said in a low voice: "Is there anything else you want to say? Just say it all at once!"

  "Master, although I agreed to help the sect refine spiritual liquids, I am also a cultivator and need sufficient time for my own cultivation. Can we set a specific quantity for the spiritual liquids that need to be submitted each month?"

  "Alright! You've already helped our sect refine spiritual liquids, which is good enough. The sect can't delay your time either, you name a quantity!"

  Ji couldn't help but smile at Ye Chen's kind intentions, after all, it had already been confirmed that Ye Chen wasn't the one who stole the dragon bone, and he also possessed a spiritual liquid that could quickly heal injuries. With such abilities, Ji naturally would satisfy all of Ye Chen's demands.

  Ye Chen smiled lightly and slightly bowed, saying in a soft voice: "Sect Master, the refinement of this spiritual liquid originally takes some time. How about this? I'll submit five bottles to the sect within a month?"

  "Five bottles!" Ji nodded after muttering a sentence and softly said: "Alright!"

  For Ji Wu, it was already beyond his expectations that Ye Chen could hand over five bottles in a month. However, if he knew that Ye Chen could refine more than ten bottles in just one night, he wondered what kind of expression he would have.

  "Ye Chen, I don't know if you're interested in moving into the inner circle, but it would only be beneficial for you and not harmful!"

  Ji thought for a moment before continuing.

  Ye Chen's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he shook his head slightly, saying in a soft voice: "Thank you, Sect Master. Many of my friends are currently outer sect disciples, I'm still used to being with them, let's talk about it after the outer sect selection!"

  Ye Chen wouldn't know what Ji Wu Nai meant, because he was always under his surveillance, Ye Chen wouldn't give Ji Wu Nai that opportunity.

  "Alright! You go first then. I'll send someone over to your place to find you, just have the list of medicinal herbs you need ready!"

  Ji did not force Ye Chen and let out a soft sigh towards him.

  "Yes! If Master has nothing else, I will take my leave first!"

  Ye Chen bowed slightly and said to Ji.

  "Alright! You go down first!"

  "Yes!"

  Ji couldn't help but watch Ye Chen's receding back, and smiled lightly to himself: "He's just a somewhat unusual disciple, no need to pay too much attention. However, the spiritual liquid he refined is a good thing. If I can get my hands on the Dan formula, I'll have more people refine it later, and Yun Sect will definitely rapidly increase its strength!"

  At this time, a light and agile figure slowly appeared in front of Ji Wu Nai, bowed to him and respectfully said: "Master!"

  Ji couldn't bear to look at the figure standing below, let out a soft sigh and said helplessly: "Yu'er, do you still resent your father? Father once said that when there's no one around, he hoped you would call him 'Father'!"

  His figure trembled slightly, and he continued: "Master, Yu'er's surname is Liu!"

  This person is none other than the direct disciple of the inner sect, Liu Yuer, however, if this scene were to be spread out, it would probably shock the entire sect a little. Who would have thought that the direct disciple Liu Yuer was actually the daughter of Ji Wuyou?

  "Hey Yu'er, I don't have any objections to you taking your mother's surname, but why after all these years are you still unwilling to acknowledge me?"

  Ji couldn't bear looking at Liu Yuer's indifferent expression, as if she had aged a lot in an instant. He helplessly spoke to her.

  Liu Yuer said: "Master, it's better for you to assign tasks. You wouldn't have called me here just to chat, would you?"

  Ji slightly shook his head, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Starting tomorrow, you will follow the outer door disciple Ye Chen. In the future, if he needs any medicinal materials, you must satisfy him, and also protect his safety. If possible, try to get the alchemy formulas he possesses."

  "Ye Chen?"

  Liu Yuer's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she said softly: "I understand!"

  Then, Liu Yuer also didn't dare to walk directly out of the hall during the Li Hui season.

  ————

  Ye Chen walked out of the main hall, looked at the environment of the inner gate, and let out a faint sigh. He muttered to himself: "Inner Gate! I, Ye Chen, don't need anyone's charity. It won't take long, I will rely on my own strength to become an inner disciple myself!"

  "What kind of person are you? I've never seen you inside the house before!"

  A loud and clear voice came from Ye Chen's side.

  At the sound, Ye Chen slowly turned his head and looked at the young man standing beside him, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, saying in a low voice: "I'm an outer door disciple, so you shouldn't have seen me!"

  "Outer disciple?" The young man frowned: "How can an outer disciple come to the inner gate? Get out of here quickly!"

  Ye Chen listened to the young man's words and said with some dissatisfaction: "Speak more cleanly!"

  The young man was taken aback and burst out laughing, saying to Ye Chen: "A disciple of an outer sect, I'm already being nice by letting you leave on your own, now get lost!"

  The young man immediately spat in front of Ye Chen and said disdainfully, "Damn it's unlucky! I was wondering why I lost as soon as I gambled today. It turns out there's a jinx!"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's face turned dark and he coldly stared at the young man, with some anger in his voice saying: "Scum!"

  The young man was about to leave when he heard Ye Chen's words, and he immediately stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Ye Chen with some anger, saying: "What did you say? Dare you say it again?"

  Ye Chen showed no fear at all, took a step forward, and glared at the young man, saying: "I said scum!"

  The young man's face turned black and he directly stretched out his hand to slap Ye Chen's face.

  Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and took a step back, saying coldly: "You're an inner sect disciple at the Gathering Qi realm, and you dare to fight me, an outer sect disciple at the Shattered Body realm?"

  The young man was taken aback, then burst out laughing and said: "Alright! You little brat, you've got some guts. How about this? I'll make a bet with you. If I win, you get out of here. If I lose, I'll apologize to you!"

  "Gambling?"

  Ye Chen was taken aback, never expecting the young man to say something like that.

  As soon as he mentioned the word "gamble", the young man's spirit was lifted, and his earlier arrogance disappeared. He looked at Ye Chen and said, "Yes! Do you dare to gamble?"

  When it comes to this person, almost all the disciples in the inner door know him. His name is Xing Bu Du, a typical gambler. He would gamble with anyone he meets, regardless of whether it's for money or something else. He always finds an excuse to gamble with others. Today was no exception. Having just lost a bet to his senior brother, he was in a terrible mood and happened to run into Ye Chen, so he vented his anger on him.

  Ye Chen smiled coldly and said in a low voice: "What do you want to bet on?"

  Xing didn't gamble, but Ye Chen agreed, hastily smiled and walked up, pulling Ye Chen's shoulder like a close brother, saying: "You say! Is it dice or what, whatever you want!"

  Ye Chen looked at Xing Bu's expression, slightly stunned, he didn't expect this person to change his face so quickly. He smiled wryly for a moment, thought for a moment, and suddenly had an idea. He said softly: "Alright! Follow me!"

  "Alright!"

  Xing did not gamble and hastily agreed with Ye Chen.

  A moment later, Ye Chen brought Xing Wu Dou over and arrived at the inner gate. As they approached the entrance, he turned to Xing Wu Dou and said, "Let's just bet on the outcome!"

  Xing didn't gamble, but when he heard Ye Chen wanted to gamble with a sieve, his face lit up and he hastily pulled out three dice from his pocket and placed them in front of Ye Chen, saying softly: "How do you want to gamble?"

  Ye Chen smiled slightly and said in a soft voice: "Let's bet on who has the smaller idea!"

  Xing Bu Gambled One Joy, Hurriedly Said: "Good! You Come First!"

  Ye Chen slightly shook his head and softly said: "You want to bet with me, you go first!"

  "Haha! You're going to lose!"

  Xing didn't gamble or decline, took the dice in his hand, smiled at Ye Chen and muttered to himself: "Win whenever you gamble! Win whenever you gamble!"

  Then, he directly threw the dice onto the ground.

  One, two, three.

  "Four points!"

  Xing Bu gambled on his face color and said to Ye Chen: "How about it's your turn now!"

  Ye Chen smiled coldly, then picked up the dice and shook them in his hand. With a sudden burst of force, he crushed the dice in his palm and said to Xing Wuji: "No points, sorry about that, I win!"

  Xing Bu gambled as he stared at Ye Chen for half a day without any reaction.

  Ye Chen was actually just teasing Xing Bu Gai on purpose, who made him so arrogant earlier. Ye Chen looked at Xing Bu Gai's expression, narrowed his eyes, and had already prepared to escape. In fact, he let Xing Bu Gai follow him just to get close to the inner door, ready to make a run for it.

  A moment later, Xing Bu gambled 'haha' with a smile, and immediately looked at Ye Chen with a smiling face, saying softly: "Brother is good at his skills, I lost, although I don't admit it, but indeed I lost! Sorry about earlier!"

  Xing didn't gamble hastily pulled Ye Chen and said: "Brother, let's bet one more round, okay? Just one round!"

  Ye Chen was taken aback, then burst out laughing, helplessly looking at the young man in front of him, sighing in his heart: This world is indeed full of all kinds of people! He had clearly been fooled by him, yet he still gave him a cheerful smile.

  Ye Chen smiled slightly and said softly: "No, let's meet again next time!"

  "Wait! Let's just make a bet, you say what we're betting on and that's what we'll bet on!" Xing hurriedly grabbed hold of Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen furrowed his brow and looked at Xing Bu Du, saying: "What's with you? If you want to gamble, you also need capital!"

  Xing Bu gambled, listening to Ye Chen's words, his brow furrowed as he pulled out a pill wrapped in oil paper from his bosom and said: "I have a second-grade elixir, the 'Gathering Qi Pill'!"

  "Ji Qi Dan?"

  Ye Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he asked in confusion: "What thing?"

  The star didn't gamble, took a look at Ye Chen, and didn't recognize this thing. He hurriedly said: "You don't know 'Ji Qi Dan', it's okay, you're an outer door disciple, not knowing is normal too. This Ji Qi Dan is a good thing, generally inner door disciples need to make great contributions to get it. As the name suggests, Ji Qi Dan is a pill for cultivating the Gathering Air boundary, which can increase the effect of true energy. Generally, in the hands of an outer cultivator, it's equivalent to gold and silver in the hands of ordinary people!

  Ye Chen listened to Xing Bu Du's explanation, his eyes lit up, and he softly said: "Alright! I'll accompany you in a gamble!"
