"Actually..." Liang Rujing peeked around slyly, then whispered, "If you want to gobble it all up, you can. No one else saw, and I'll keep it a secret!"
Hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but mourn for the Qingxin Sect in his heart.
Good heavens.
This girl was a prime example of betrayal...
Of course, he liked it very much!
"You brat," Ye Fan waved his hand, "Alright, hurry up and go."
"Okay then."
After Liang Rujing left, Ye Fan did not copy the blueprints and notes.
His memory was now better than a printer's, so there was no need for that.
Not long after, Liang Rujing returned with Bu Wanxiao.
After a few pleasantries, Bu Wanxiao grabbed the blueprints and notes and began to read.
The more she read, the more excited her eyes became!
"Young Master, I can't make this decision," Bu Wanxiao said after reading. "I need to report it to the Sect Master."
"Elder Bu, please do," Ye Fan smiled and gestured.
"Then these things..." Bu Wanxiao pointed to the scrolls and notes, "Does Young Master want to copy a set?"
After all, without Ye Fan's help, this box might never have been opened.
It was truly surprising that Ye Fan was willing to share such a great opportunity.
As for Ye Fan having already seen the blueprints...
Firstly, Ye Fan and Liang Rujing were good friends, and he was suspected to have a powerful senior behind him.
It was naturally not good to offend such an existence.
Secondly, such a major event was not something one person could control.
Besides, before she came, Ye Fan might have already copied them.
Since that was the case, it was better to act generously.
"No need," Ye Fan said generously, "Rujing and I are good friends, aren't we."
Ye Fan's generosity and trust made Bu Wanxiao admire him greatly.
Of course.
If she knew that Ye Fan planned to use their Qingxin Sect as cannon fodder, her expression would have been priceless...
By the time Bu Wanxiao returned, it was already evening.
"The Sect Master would like to invite Young Master to dinner. Is it convenient for Young Master?" Bu Wanxiao said directly.
"Then I shall respectfully accept," Ye Fan replied, patting his stomach.
And so, the three of them left the room.
"Um... Elder Bu," Liang Rujing said on the way, "Ye Fan has a big appetite. Ask the kitchen to make more later."
Bu Wanxiao didn't think much of it at the time.
No matter how big a person's appetite was, how big could it be?
To entertain Ye Fan, the Sect Master had specifically prepared a whole monster beast!
The beast meat alone was several hundred jin, not to mention other dishes.
Even if the few of them combined, they wouldn't be able to finish it.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the Qingxin Sect Master's spirit peak.
"Rujing used to talk about you to me all the time. I finally get to meet you today," the Qingxin Sect Master, Mu Yuqing, teased after they met. "Young Master, please."
"Sect Master Mu," Ye Fan cupped his fists politely.
After they were seated, Mu Yuqing enthusiastically greeted them, not mentioning the blueprints at all.
After all, that was how it was at the dining table; they would talk after eating their fill.
Ye Fan was truly hungry and didn't stand on ceremony.
Then Mu Yuqing watched with wide eyes as Ye Fan consumed dozens of jin of food...
Mu Yuqing's expression immediately became priceless.
This Ye Fan had a good appetite!
How many days had he been starving...
But soon, she realized she was still too young...
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ye Fan had already consumed over two hundred jin of food!
Mu Yuqing was completely shocked!
That was over two hundred jin of food?!
It weighed more than Ye Fan himself!
Even if his stomach were all stomach, it couldn't hold that much!
Where did all that food go...?
Later, Mu Yuqing gradually became numb...
She watched helplessly as Ye Fan ate all the food on the table...
Beside her, Bu Wanxiao finally remembered something.
So Liang Rujing's earlier comment about Ye Fan's large appetite wasn't an exaggeration...
It was even an understatement!
This wasn't a large appetite, it was like a starving ghost!
She immediately hurried to instruct someone to inform the kitchen...
An hour later.
Ye Fan stopped, his heart filled with satisfaction.
He was finally full!
Before, he usually ate about four to five hundred jin of food per meal. This time, he had eaten over a thousand jin!
To be honest, he didn't know where all that food went.
The most likely explanation was that his body rapidly converted the food into energy.
But the problem was that there were no signs of spiritual energy fluctuations during the entire process. Who knew where that energy went...
Ye Fan had also suspected that the stone in his spiritual sea was responsible.
But after observing for a while, he found that it wasn't the case.
The stone never participated when he ate.
As for why his appetite suddenly increased again today, he was completely clueless...
The only worry was that if it kept increasing, he would spend his entire day eating.
Just thinking about it sent a shiver down his spine...
"Is... Young Master full..." Mu Yuqing asked with a look of disbelief. "Should I... arrange for the kitchen to make more..."
"I'm full," Ye Fan said, somewhat embarrassed. "Sect Master Mu, you've seen my joke..."
After a few casual remarks to ease the awkwardness, Mu Yuqing finally spoke.
"Young Master has bestowed such a great fortune upon our Qingxin Sect this time. I don't know how to thank you..."
"Rujing and I are good friends, so this is only right," Ye Fan replied politely. "If you find a place later, Sect Master Mu, please take me to see it."
Hearing this, Mu Yuqing raised an eyebrow.
Not stating a condition often meant the biggest condition.
This Ye Fan was planning to ask for a heavy price!
However, she didn't pay too much attention to it.
When Bu Wanxiao bought the box and found she couldn't open it, it was left unattended.
After all, she never expected that such an important item would be hidden inside.
So before today, Mu Yuqing didn't even know that Bu Wanxiao had bought that box.
This was a pleasant surprise, akin to getting it for free.
"That's natural," Mu Yuqing replied with a smile.
After a few more pleasantries, Mu Yuqing took out a pill from her ring.
"My dear disciple, this is something your master found for you a while ago," Mu Yuqing handed the pill to Liang Rujing. "It's perfect for your Ice Heart Condensing Jade Physique."
When Bu Wanxiao brought Liang Rujing back, Mu Yuqing was overjoyed!
She had encountered the rare Ice Heart Condensing Jade Physique, which appeared once in ten thousand years!
The ancestor who founded the Qingxin Sect had an Ice Heart Condensing Jade Physique, and she had established the Ice Heart Condensing Jade Technique based on this physique.
Unfortunately, after the ancestor, no one with the Ice Heart Condensing Jade Physique had appeared in the Qingxin Sect, causing the power of the Ice Heart Condensing Jade Technique to be greatly diminished.
Liang Rujing was the hope for the Qingxin Sect's resurgence!
Therefore, she immediately took Liang Rujing as her personal disciple, doting on her immensely.
In addition to providing all kinds of cultivation resources, she also actively sought out things useful for Liang Rujing's cultivation.
This fifth-grade pill was something she had spent great effort to find.
"Master, is this..." Liang Rujing's eyes lit up. "Ice Jade Pill?"
"Mm," Mu Yuqing dotingly stroked Liang Rujing's head. "With this, your cultivation speed will be even faster."
"Thank you, Master," Liang Rujing hugged Mu Yuqing happily. "Master, you're the best!"
"You're all grown up, yet you're still like a little girl," Mu Yuqing said helplessly. "Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"I'm not afraid," Liang Rujing said righteously. "There are no outsiders here anyway, hehe."
Ye Fan suddenly frowned. "Rujing, can I see the Ice Jade Pill?"
"What's wrong with the Ice Jade Pill?" Liang Rujing asked curiously and handed the pill over.
Ye Fan stared at the Ice Jade Pill for a few moments and understood.
"There's something wrong with this Ice Jade Pill." As if afraid of causing a misunderstanding, Ye Fan explained to Mu Yuqing, "I mean, there's a problem with the refinement of this pill."
