Seeing Ye Fan ask him with a perverted smile whether he was a disciple of this Ten Thousand Souls Sect, Huang Tianbao trembled all over, shaking his head repeatedly with a pale face:
“No, no... I was just passing by. Senior, please don't misunderstand...”
It's over, it's over. Is this guy going to kill me?
Seeing Huang Tianbao pale with fear, Ye Fan was taken aback and quickly made his smile look more amiable.
“Don't be afraid, I have no intention of killing you. By the way, why are you here?”
“Ah... I... I got lost.”
Huang Tianbao casually made up an excuse to brush him off.
At the same time, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: If he's not going to kill me, could there be some kind of conspiracy? I must stay on guard.
Seeing Huang Tianbao's defensiveness toward him, Ye Fan didn't say anything more.
He believed that with his personal charm, he could easily make the other party utterly devoted to him.
Then, Ye Fan stopped talking, sat down cross-legged, and began to circulate his modified technique, absorbing the dense blood energy in the area.
Streams of dense blood energy were absorbed by Ye Fan, until he was completely enveloped in a layer of blood mist.
Huang Tianbao swallowed hard. If he ran now, could he escape?
What if this guy noticed, got angry, and slapped him to death?
But this guy looked like a dangerous element. Who knew what he would do to him in the future?
Sigh! If he were strong enough, he wouldn't have such worries.
If anyone bullied him, he would just slap them to death!
Strength! Strength!
Sigh! He had better practice hard!
With that in mind, Huang Tianbao also sat down cross-legged not far from Ye Fan and began to circulate his technique.
As Huang Tianbao began to cultivate, the yin energy, death energy, and blood energy in this area began to frantically drill into his body.
His cultivation also began to grow rapidly.
First level of Qi Refining, second level of Qi Refining...
Ye Fan, who was absorbing blood energy to raise his cultivation, frowned. Why had the blood energy thinned out so much?
According to his calculations, the blood energy here should have definitely allowed him to break through to the late Golden Core stage.
But he had only improved a little, so how could this blood energy be failing to hold up?
Then, Ye Fan looked over and was instantly stunned: Huang Tianbao beside him was already surrounded by a dark red vortex.
All the yin energy, death energy, and even the blood energy he needed in this entire area were being sucked away by this guy.
Ye Fan was furious!
He quickly increased the circulation of his technique. As a dignified former Immortal Emperor, how could he fail to compete with a small fry in the Qi Refining stage?
As Ye Fan intensified his efforts, Huang Tianbao, who was raising his cultivation, was also taken aback.
Why did it slow down? Was he slacking off?
No, he had to work harder.
With that thought, he also accelerated the circulation of his technique.
Ye Fan felt the loss of blood energy again and accelerated once more.
Huang Tianbao followed suit and accelerated.
...
Completely unable to compete, Ye Fan was so angry that he wanted to slap Huang Tianbao to death.
But after some thought, he held back.
This person would likely be his capable general in the future, so it wasn't a waste.
He could only comfort himself this way while gnashing his teeth.
If it were anyone else, he would have definitely slapped them.
At this moment, he also noticed the overbearing nature of Huang Tianbao's technique, which was not inferior to his own!
As expected of his future right-hand man, his talent was exceptionally high.
This was great. Not only could he become his capable assistant, but he was also an excellent backup body, a natural target for possession.
With flickering eyes, Ye Fan left a hidden measure on Huang Tianbao.
In the future, once he reached the Nascent Soul stage, if any accident occurred, he could possess this guy.
It was equivalent to having an extra life.
At the same time, Ye Fan was also somewhat curious as to why he had felt this way the first time he saw this guy, as if he simply felt it in his bones.
When Huang Tianbao opened his eyes from his cultivation, he saw Ye Fan standing guard beside him!
Seeing this, Huang Tianbao's eyes flickered. This guy really had big designs on him!
Eldest Senior Brother had said that no one would be good to you for no reason unless they had an ulterior motive.
If they were extremely good to you, then they wanted something huge.
He had just met this guy, yet he was treating him so well. This was clearly bad intentions!
Just then, Ye Fan saw Huang Tianbao wake up and smiled slightly:
“I saw you just started cultivating. I have many Qi Refining stage pills here, you can have them all...”
With that, Ye Fan took out several pill bottles and handed them over.
Huang Tianbao looked at the pill bottles in Ye Fan's hand. It's over, it's over...
What on earth is he plotting against me for?
Wuhu... Eldest Senior Brother, I'm so scared!
Yet, Huang Tianbao still accepted the pills with a joyful look on his face.
He was worried that if he didn't accept them, this guy would get angry and slap him to death.
He had to placate him first.
“Thank you, Senior! Thank you, Senior!”
Seeing Huang Tianbao's immense gratitude, Ye Fan nodded with satisfaction.
Sure enough, when someone was weak, they could be easily bought off with just some random things.
Then, he remembered that this guy seemed to know that damn mortal.
When the time came, he would kill that damn mortal together with this guy.
He would not only kill him but also break his heart.
As for why he wasn't going to kill Lu Ming right now...
As a Golden Core demonic cultivator, if he entered the Eastern Province now, he could easily be targeted and eliminated by those so-called righteous cultivators...
Looking at Huang Tianbao's gratitude, the smile on Ye Fan's face grew even more brilliant:
“No need to thank me. These are just small things. Follow me, and you'll get even more benefits in the future.”
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Huang Tianbao's heart skipped a beat. It's coming, it's coming.
He really has designs on me.
But for now, he could only bear the humiliation and make plans once the time was ripe.
“My name is Ye Fan. You'll follow me from now on. By the way, what is your name?”
Hearing the name Ye Fan, Huang Tianbao's heart stirred. As expected, he was not a good person.
This name carried an unlucky vibe; it was the exact same name as the person his Eldest Senior Brother had beaten to death before.
“Senior, my name is Huang Tianbao. You can just call me Xiao Huang.”
Ye Fan nodded, and then led Huang Tianbao away from the place.
...
Lu Ming rolled up his sleeves and set up the furnace, sometimes tossing it, sometimes spinning around.
When he had nothing else to do, he would show off his skills with a backflip.
At the same time, his divine sense scanned the medicinal liquid inside the alchemy furnace.
He was genuinely curious about how this formed into round, smooth pills.
The medicinal liquid sloshed inside the furnace, slowly taking shape while emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.
The moment Lu Ming began refining pills, the Protagonist Stepping Stone Halo deep within his divine sense vibrated violently, and a profound set of alchemy techniques directly merged into Lu Ming's soul.
Big Yellow widened its eyes, curiously watching Lu Ming refine pills.
So refining pills was pretty much like stir-frying dishes!
This was because the way Lu Ming refined pills really looked almost identical to his usual stir-frying motions.
“Bang...”
As the furnace opened, several milky-white pills with a soft glow and pill veins emerged.
“Woof, woof!!?”
Looking at the pills inside the furnace, Big Yellow's dog face was filled with joy.
Boss, is this a success?
Lu Ming frowned and picked up a pill.
Then, he took out Jiang Xueqing's alchemy techniques and insights to make a comparison.
“Didn't they say refining pills is very difficult? Why did I succeed all at once? Where did it go wrong?”
