Li Qinghai had already guessed that someone was waiting for him outside.

Naturally, he wouldn't take a single step out of the Green Bamboo Residence.

He calmly continued practicing the Sword Drawing Technique inside.

And so, the day passed.

At night.

Ye Kaishan and Ye Chongshan remained vigilantly stationed on a large tree, not moving an inch.

As expected, they received another transmission from Ye Feng.

Ye Kaishan took out the transmission token.

"Ye Kaishan, don't tell me you still haven't dealt with Li Qinghai."

"Yes, Brother Ye, there's nothing we can do. Li Qinghai just won't come out."

"Nothing you can do? Is that all you can say? Can't you use your brains a little? Huh?!"

"Brother Ye, we've tried, but Li Qinghai still won't come out."

"Useless! A bunch of useless fools!!"

Ye Feng's roar was exceptionally loud and piercing.

Fortunately, Ye Kaishan was prepared and wrapped the transmission token with spiritual energy.

The sound didn't spread throughout the night.

Seeing the transmission token quiet down, Ye Chongshan, standing beside, muttered indignantly.

"Calling us useless? Isn't he the same? If he's got the guts, he should come here himself."

Ye Kaishan put away the transmission token, "Alright, let's just do what we need to do. If Li Qinghai doesn't come out, let Ye Feng worry about it."

Ye Feng was never one to think things through.

When faced with a headache, he naturally sought out his cousin, Ye Fan.

Soon, Ye Feng descended from the sky, landing steadily at the entrance of Ye Fan's cave residence.

"Cousin," Ye Feng called out.

Rumble...

The stone door of the cave slowly opened.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Ye Feng swiftly entered the cave.

Standing beside Ye Fan, he hesitated to speak.

After all, Li Qinghai was just a small Qi Refining cultivator.

Not being able to deal with this weakling was indeed embarrassing.

Ye Fan, with his sharp eyes, immediately saw the problem.

"What? Did something unexpected happen with Li Qinghai?"

"It's not really unexpected, it's just that Li Qinghai is hiding in the Green Bamboo Residence like a turtle, never coming out, so we can't kill him. Cousin, why don't you go and break the Green Bamboo Residence's formation?" Ye Feng complained.

"Is that all? A little patience is all it takes."

"Cousin, how is this a small matter? If Li Qinghai never comes out, we can't kill him."

Ye Fan looked at Ye Feng, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

"Do you know that in three days, this month will be over?"

"Hmph, letting Li Qinghai live for another month."

Anger rose in Ye Fan's heart, and he almost wanted to kick his foolish cousin.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed his emotions.

"With the new month, Li Qinghai's Fasting Pills will run out."

Ye Feng's eyes widened, "Ah? Right. Hahaha, how did I not think of that? At that time, he'll have to come out to collect more Fasting Pills, and that will be his death."

Ye Fan remained disappointed, shaking his head.

"Ye Feng."

"Hmm? Cousin, what's wrong?"

"No matter what you encounter, try to solve it yourself first. Don't come running to me with every problem. Otherwise, you'll never grow."

"But isn't that why you're here, cousin? Just following your arrangements is enough."

"I'm not always in the sect. I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Ah? Cousin, where are you going?"

"Not sure yet. Just going out to gain some experience and improve my combat skills."

"I see..."

"While I'm gone, you can cultivate in my cave. I hope to see you break through to Core Formation when I return."

"Cousin, don't worry. Once I deal with Li Qinghai and clear my mind, I'll start cultivating seriously."

Ye Fan looked at Ye Feng, feeling uneasy.

He wanted to give more advice.

But considering that Li Qinghai was just a small Qi Refining cultivator, who couldn't stir up much trouble, he decided it wasn't worth wasting his breath.

If Li Qinghai could put up a bit of a fight, it would be even better.

He could serve as a whetstone for Ye Feng.

Help Ye Feng grow a bit.

With that thought, Ye Fan relaxed and stopped speaking.

He simply waved his hand.

Ye Feng understood and left the cave.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning.

Ye Fan soared into the sky, leaving the Azure Cloud Sect.

As a true disciple, Ye Fan naturally attracted attention.

Not long after he left, news of Ye Fan leaving the sect spread.

Ye Feng happily moved into Ye Fan's cave residence.

Sitting cross-legged, he felt the rich spiritual energy around him.

A look of bliss appeared on his face.

The only thing marring his joy was that Li Qinghai wasn't dead yet.

This left Ye Feng feeling quite displeased.

"Hmph! Li Qinghai!"

"Let's see how long you can hide!"

"I'm waiting for news of your death!!"

...

Ye Feng waited, and three days passed.

Morning.

Green Bamboo Residence.

Li Qinghai got out of bed.

After washing up.

He took out a small bottle from his Storage Bag.

Opening the bottle, he poured it into his hand.

But no pill came out.

Hmm?

The Fasting Pills were finished.

Right, it's a new month again.

He needed to go to the Outer Disciples' Hall to get another bottle.

A bottle of Fasting Pills contained five pills, each lasting about five to six days.

Logically, as a major sect, the Azure Cloud Sect's Fasting Pills shouldn't be this ineffective.

But it was because the Fasting Pills for Outer Disciples were made by alchemy apprentices.

It was already good enough that these apprentices' pills didn't cause pill poison, let alone expecting a longer fasting effect.

Li Qinghai looked at the bottle in his hand, feeling a bit troubled.

He had no idea what the situation outside was like, and he didn't dare go out.

Even though the Outer Disciples' Hall wasn't far from the Green Bamboo Residence.

But if someone attacked him on the way, he wouldn't be able to escape.

If only there was delivery service at this time.

Oh right.

How could he forget about Wang Dafu?

He could have Wang Dafu act as a courier and bring a bottle of Fasting Pills over.

Suddenly, Li Qinghai remembered something else.

Right.

Speaking of which, Wang Dafu hadn't delivered any spiritual herbs either...

Could it be that he ran off with his eight thousand spirit stones?

Feeling speechless, Li Qinghai took out a transmission token.

This was something Wang Dafu had given him back on Morning Cultivation Mountain, saying he could summon him if needed.

"Junior Brother, if you're free, please bring a bottle of Fasting Pills over."

After waiting for a while.

Finally, there was a response.

"Alright, Senior Brother, please wait a moment, I'll be right over."

Li Qinghai nodded.

It seemed Wang Dafu hadn't run off with the money and could still be trusted.
