Speaking, he took the fruit and personally placed it into Yin Ning's mouth.
Once inside her abdomen, the fruit instantly transformed into a pure, potent force that circulated within her body. Yin Ning, with her mortal physique, could not withstand such immense power. Therefore, Ye Tian placed his left hand on her head and his right hand on her back, guiding the medicinal energy to flow.
Soon, white, column-like steam began to emanate from the top of Yin Ning's head, while a chilling coldness seeped from the soles of her feet. This process lasted for three minutes, during which the cold evil within her was completely expelled. However, Ye Tian did not stop there. He took the opportunity to clear several meridians for Yin Ning, directly elevating her cultivation to the second level of Qi Refining.
Half an hour later, Ye Tian withdrew his hands. Yin Ning opened her eyes, feeling an abundance of strength coursing through her body, making her feel light and airy. She stood up and took a small leap, soaring several meters into the air. Had Ye Tian not quickly grabbed her hand, her head would have surely collided with the ceiling.
Yin Ning exclaimed with a delighted cry, "I can jump so high!"
Ye Tian said, "Yin Ning, I've also laid a foundation for your cultivation. Your current physique is comparable to someone at the second level of Qi Refining. If you have the opportunity, you can try cultivating."
Yin Ning was both surprised and overjoyed. She bowed deeply to Ye Tian, saying, "Thank you, Young Master!"
Ye Tian helped her up and replied, "There's no need for formalities. Please sit down and rest, and try to feel the true energy within your body."
Nong Yu watched with great envy but felt too shy to ask Ye Tian for the red fruit, as she did not suffer from any cold ailments.
Just then, a furious roar echoed from outside the building. Someone shouted sternly, "Ye, if you have the guts, come down here!"
Tang Zhen and the others immediately rushed in. Tang Zhen recognized the voice as Tang Hai's and said, "Sir, that scoundrel Tang Hai must have invited some experts!"
Ye Tian remained unhurried and calmly inquired, "What kind of experts?"
Tang Ran replied, "The Eastern Branch has taken in many retainers over the years, including numerous extraordinary individuals from the martial world, true martial arts masters!"
Ye Tian stated, "Then I shall meet these extraordinary individuals and masters!"
He pushed open the window and indeed saw over a dozen people standing below. With a light leap, he landed before them.
Tang Hai was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected Ye Tian to dare to come down, nor did he believe Ye Tian would be unafraid of the experts he had brought.
After a brief pause, Tang Hai sneered, "Ye, today I will make you understand that this is the Tang Sect, not a place for outsiders like you to run wild!"
Ye Tian said indifferently, "There's no need for so much talk. Just tell me who you want me to fight, and let them come out."
Tang Hai cupped his fist towards a middle-aged man on his left and said, "Master Huang! Your Heavenly Silkworm Skill is truly admirable. I implore Master Huang to teach this arrogant fellow a lesson!"
Master Huang stepped forward three paces. He looked into Ye Tian's eyes and said calmly, "Young man, I will let you have three moves. You may begin."
Ye Tian shook his head and replied, "I can defeat you in one move. And you have the audacity to tell me to take three moves?"
Master Huang's expression turned grim. "Truly arrogant! To defeat me in one move, you dare to say such things!"
Tang Hai said coldly, "Ye, stop your boastful talk. Soon, you will witness the might of the Heavenly Silkworm Skill!"
As he spoke, Master Huang moved. His entire body became a blur, and he began to circle Ye Tian at high speed.
Ye Tian remained motionless, his gaze fixed forward.
After circling for a while, a large amount of thread-like true energy appeared in the air, densely surrounding Ye Tian.
"Hmph!"
Master Huang suddenly unleashed a palm strike, and a palm shadow hurtled towards Ye Tian. Ye Tian did not move; he simply pressed down gently with his right hand, causing the palm shadow to vanish. However, at that very moment, countless transparent threads of true energy coiled around, instantly ensnaring Ye Tian's body, hands, and feet.
Master Huang's eyes lit up, and he declared, "Die!"
He closed the distance in an instant and struck towards the top of Ye Tian's head with his palm.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Just as Master Huang's palm was about to land, Ye Tian, in a flash, snapped all the threads. He then unleashed a punch that landed squarely on Master Huang's chest.
"Pfft!"
This powerful expert, at the fifth level of Qi Refining, was sent flying several meters by Ye Tian's punch. After staggering back a few steps, he abruptly collapsed onto the ground, motionless. At this point, blood could be seen flowing from his ears, nose, and eyes.
