Liu Bingqian resentfully nodded, “Fine. I lost. I won’t question your decisions anymore.”

“Good.” Ye Zifeng gave her a satisfied smile.

Liu Bingqian’s hair flipped as she turned around to look at the five profound tier golden marrow pills that were shining brightly. Even though some time had passed already, she was still feeling shocked.

“Big brother rough guy. Making five high grade profound tier golden marrow pills in one go, this is an eye opener!”

Ye Zifeng smiled. In his mind, he was thinking that this was nothing special.

This was the difference between a common tier cauldron and a profound tier cauldron.

As long as one understands the refinement rules of a profound tier cauldron, it’ll be easy to refine five pills at once. The only thing that one would need to worry about is the star diagram.

Liu Bingqian lacked knowledge regarding these matters so that’s why she was surprised.

“Big brother rough guy. I helped you bring the cauldron here and also helped you form your common tier flame. You have five pills there….can you give one to me?”

Liu Bingqian’s eyes were lit up as she asked.

Ye Zifeng wasn’t a petty person. If a friend asked then he would comply.

“Pick whichever one you like. But, you’re at the ninth stage of qi refining already. I don’t think that this will be able to help you at all.”

Liu Bingqian looked at the pills and then picked the one in the middle.

“I know that this isn’t much of a help to me. However, my sister Ningzi needs something like this.”

Hearing that Liu Bingqian was taking this for her sister, Ye Zifeng’s expression changed and immediately grabbed the pill from her hand.

“Big brother rough guy, you…..”

Ye Zifeng’s expression turned cold, “Bingqian, if you want to use the pill, that’s fine. It’s fine if your friends want to use it too. But, as for Ningzi…..I won’t allow that.”

“Why not? Is it because she cancelled your engagement?”

Liu Bingqian looked at Ye Zifeng and then continued, “Big brother rough guy, I can see that Ningzi have already reflected on what she had done. Why don’t you turn a blind eye….”

Ye Zifeng’s expression was still cold, “I won’t hate her and won’t look for her for revenge or anything like that. However, I will not give her a pill that i refined. This is an issue of pride….”

Ye Zifeng is usually a calm person. However, whenever Liu Ningzi is mentioned, he would turn into a completely different person. His tone would become stern.

A helpless look appeared in Liu Ningzi’s eyes, “Alright. Fine. I understand. We’ll leave it be then.”

However, for some reason, when she saw that Ye Zifeng disliked Ningzi, she felt a little happy. Wouldn’t this mean that he can get closer to Ye Zifeng without any problems?

The two of them were silent for a bit. The topic about Liu Ningzi made everything awkward.

In the end, it was Ye Zifeng who opened his mouth first, “Bingqian, do you have any other news regarding the sect missions?”

Ye Zifeng wasn’t stupid. If he can get intelligence about something, he will do whatever he can to get his hands on it.

This time, the sect mission is a team competition. The goal is to kill as many high level beasts as possible. Any disciple in the qi refining stage can join so there will be a lot of people.

Liu Bingqian thought about it, “Hold on. Didn’t I tell you about the details already?”

Ye Zifeng smiled, “I can tell that you’re still hiding something….” Ye Zifeng had seen many different types of people in his life already. Liu Bingqian can’t hide anything from him at all.

“W…What….No way….” Liu Bingqian blinked a few times. Liu Mu had ordered her to not tell anyone else about it no matter what. But if it’s Ye Zifeng….. Liu Bingqian started to hesitate.

“Bingqian.” Ye Zifeng’s expression became serious.

Liu Bingqian felt awkward, “…..fine. Fine! I really can’t hide anything from you. There’s one more rule, each team will have a fixed number of people in the fourth stage to the ninth stage of qi refining, totaling to around twenty people.”

“A fixed amount of people on each team huh? This is an important piece of information. It seems like I can’t raise my cultivation right now.” Ye Zifeng pondered for a bit and then put the five profound tier golden marrow pills into his interspatial ring.

“Why? Big brother rough guy, didn’t you say that you need to increase your cultivation before the mission starts?”

Ye Zifeng laughed and replied, “It’s easy. Since they’re making it fair and fixing the amount of people in each stage, if I increase my cultivation, I will be taking the place of someone stronger. This way, we’ll lower our team’s overall strength. Thus, I won’t be using these pills just yet.”

Originally, Ye Zifeng wanted to use these last two days to increase his cultivation but now, after receiving this piece of key information, he’ll adapt to the situation and wait.

“So that’s why.” After hearing this Liu Bingqian finally understood.

“Bingqian, do you have anymore news? You don’t have to worry about your father. If we’re on the same team, it’ll benefit the both of us.”

“I…….”

Liu Bingqian gulped and looked around. She then whispered, “Okay big brother rough guy. There’s one more thing. You have to absolutely keep this a secret……It seems like of the winners this time, the sect will pick someone who performed well and send them to Tiandao City’s Profound Sect as an exchange-disciple!

“Exchange disciple in the Profound Sect?” Ye Zifeng’s eyes lit up and smiled, “Wow. No wonder why you father asked you to be quiet.”

There weren’t many opportunities to enter the profound sect. Liu Mu probably told Bingqian this to increase her fighting spirit. He wants her to keep it a secret so there won’t be as much competition.

“Big brother rough guy, you have to keep it a secret!” Liu Bingqian pouted. She was fine letting Ye Zifeng know about it but she didn’t want anyone else to know.

“Even if you didn’t say anything, I wouldn’t tell anyone about it either.”

Ye Zifeng smiled, “Thanks Bingqian. You’ve helped me so much and I was being picky about a mere golden marrow pill before….”

“Not at all. Big brother rough guy, I’m helping you because I want to.”

Liu Bingqian then stopped as if she remembered something, “Oh yeah. Since you you don’t need to prepare for anything, will you leave my home?”

She was afraid that Ye Zifeng was going to go back to the Ye clan manor and felt nervous.

Ye Zifeng thought about it, “I probably won’t. The Liu clan has arranged such a nice place for me already. I can comfortably refine pills here. I will have to disturb you guys for the next two days. Bingqian, you won’t make me leave now will you?”

“If you want to stay then stay. Why would I kick you out?”

Liu Bingqian was feeling very happy.

Ye Zifeng laughed, “Also, I might need some ingredients like…. Silver leaf grass, God pacifying flower, Earthen root grass and some other things…. Can you get them for me?”

“That…… Okay.” Liu Bingqian nodded.

Ye Zifeng’s expression turned serious, “Then…. I need some Demonic emperor grass, Dieda grass, Shinan grass, Swift grass, Blood emperor grass, Yegang flower, Bramble grass and some other things…. Let me borrow them for a bit…”

Liu Bingqian’s expression ashened. She forced a smiled, “If you don’t need a lot…. Then…. I can consider it.”

To make Ye Zifeng stay for two more days, she had to give up a lot of things….

“What?” Ye Zifeng was surprised. He was just casually saying these things but Bingqian actually agreed. He was feeling shocked.

However, he was feeling very excited as well.

He couldn’t help but grab onto Bingqian’s hand, “Then Bingqian, can you tell your servants to not come over for the next two days? I want to quietly refine pills by myself.”

“Then…. Even I can’t come?” Liu Bingqian’s face turned red after having her hands held by Ye Zifeng and shyly asked.

“Of course. I’m quietly refining pills alone. How can I have anyone disturb me?” Ye Zifeng quickly answered.

Liu Bingqian suddenly looked straight into Ye Zifeng’s eyes. She was feeling very angry.

“Okay. I think you should go back to the Ye clan!”
