Ye Chen, of course, always carried spirit stones with him.

  But it wasn't appropriate to take them out directly.

  So he brought the seller to the backyard to complete the transaction.

  He had already tested the bracelet before the deal.

  The vendor hadn't exaggerated.

  It indeed could enhance cultivation speed.

  But the effect was just so-so.

  Such an item was certainly not worth thirteen medium-grade spirit stones.

  Yet, as Ye Chen looked at the pale green, crystal-clear, and rather beautiful bracelet, he was in a great mood.

  A half-fold increase wasn't very useful.

  But what if it was amplified by fifteen times?

  Wouldn't that be a direct leap forward?

  So, although others might see Ye Chen as a fool,

  Ye Chen felt he had struck a great bargain.

  Forget thirteen medium-grade spirit stones.

  Even if it were twenty or thirty, Ye Chen would still buy it without hesitation.

  And beside Ye Chen, Lu Jing was following him closely.

  Her mature and charming face was flushed with excitement.

  She always knew Ye Chen was favored and had plenty of resources.

  But she didn't expect Ye Chen to be this wealthy.

  To take out thirteen medium-grade spirit stones just like that.

  Ye Chen's extravagant demeanor was incredibly attractive.

  It made her heart race.

  And as she looked at the bracelet in Ye Chen's hand, her eyes were full of anticipation.

  Could it be that Ye Chen bought this bracelet to give to her?

  Thinking of this, Lu Jing's breathing became rapid.

  Though Lu Jing, like most cultivators, thought the bracelet's effect was mediocre,

  That was because the bracelet's cost-effectiveness was too low.

  If she could get it for free, no one would hesitate.

  However, under Lu Jing's expectant gaze, Ye Chen put the bracelet away.

  This shocked Lu Jing greatly.

  Could it be that Ye Chen was going to give it to Lin Ke'er?

  If that were the case, Lu Jing absolutely couldn't accept it.

  This was thirteen medium-grade spirit stones!

  She needed to step up her efforts.

  Ye Chen had to be hers...

  So, at dinner,

  Lu Jing accidentally spilled some meat soup on herself.

  With a blush on her charming face, she leaned toward Ye Chen: "Don't waste it..."

  "If I can't eat it myself, Ye Daoist, if you don't mind, help me eat it..."

  Faced with Lu Jing's frugal spirit of not wasting,

  How could Ye Chen refuse?

  He could only lower his head and carefully clean up the meat juice...

  Yet, he still didn't give Lu Jing what she hoped for.

  ...

  Lu Jing was clearly putting her efforts in the wrong direction.

  The bracelet wasn't for her, nor for Lin Ke'er.

  It was prepared by Ye Chen for Sun Ruoxin.

  Fifteen times the Sun Ruoxin could bring Ye Chen greater benefits.

  Surely it would lead to faster cultivation speed.

  In such a situation, how could Ye Chen settle for less and give the bracelet to Lu Jing or Lin Ke'er?

  It was impossible.

  However, the news that a Ye family lick spirit had spent a fortune on a top-grade bracelet to give to a female cultivator spread quickly in the Silver Moon Market.

  Countless cultivators cursed Ye Chen as a wastrel.

  With so many spirit stones, what couldn't he do?

  Why insist on being a lick spirit?

  Truly foolish.

  With such descendants, the Ye family is doomed.

  Even Steward Zhang of the One Leaf Pill Shop was shocked to hear the news.

  How did Ye Chen have so many spirit stones?

  How many spirit stones did his father, Ye Tianhe, give him st time?

  But with so many spirit stones, Ye Chen didn't use them for cultivation but instead bought such a useless thing.

  Truly a wastrel.

  A fool.

  ...

  While the outside world was abuzz with gossip,

  Ye Chen remained indifferent.

  He continued his daily routine of cultivation and alchemy.

  Only Lu Jing and Lin Ke'er, knowing Ye Chen had the bracelet, were especially enthusiastic.

  Yesterday, Lu Jing used the canyon to hold meat juice, urging Ye Chen not to waste it.

  Today, Lin Ke'er sweetly kissed him, even letting Ye Chen reach inside.

  But unfortunately,

  Neither of them got the bracelet from Ye Chen.

  When the system's cooldown ended, and it was time for css,

  Ye Chen headed to Qingyun Workshop.

  Today, Ye Chen was invited to the backyard for a lesson.

  As soon as he entered, he saw Sun Ye already instructing a young woman.

  At Ye Chen's arrival,

  Sun Ye's eyes lit up as if seeing a treasure.

  And the young woman curiously observed Ye Chen with her beautiful phoenix eyes.

  The woman was none other than Sun Ruoxin, whom Ye Chen had met st time.

  To be honest, Ye Chen was quite curious about why Sun Ruoxin was fifteen times more effective.

  Just as he was about to take a closer look,

  Sun Ye spoke with a pained expression: "Was it really you who bought that bracelet?"

  Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded immediately.

  He marveled at how quickly the news had spread, even reaching Sun Ye.

  However, Ye Chen had no idea how much Sun Ye regretted it.

  When that rogue cultivator came to Qingyun Workshop to sell the bracelet,

  He had only offered eight medium-grade spirit stones, not even agreeing to ten.

  Unexpectedly, Ye Chen bought it for thirteen.

  If he had taken the bracelet and sold it to Ye Chen, wouldn't he have made a fortune?

  Regret, deep regret.

  But Ye Chen paid no mind to Sun Ye's expressive face.

  He looked at Sun Ruoxin: "This must be the senior's daughter, I am Ye Chen, greetings, Senior Sister!"

  Hearing Ye Chen call her Senior Sister,

  A look of interest appeared on Sun Ruoxin's youthful and beautiful face.

  Though it was her first time meeting Ye Chen,

  She had heard of him before.

  For instance, giving the Longxiang Hands prepared by her father to a female cultivator.

  The pills he refined were also given to female cultivators first.

  Even when a female cultivator was about to leave, his first concern was her safety, buying magic for her protection.

  Moreover, the storage bag Ye Chen bought from the shop was never seen used by him, likely also given to a female cultivator.

  And that bracelet, when it was brought to the shop for sale, Sun Ruoxin was there and quite liked it.

  Though its effect was mediocre, it was better than nothing.

  Most importantly, it was beautiful.

  But it was too expensive.

  Now that Ye Chen had bought it, it was most likely given to a female cultivator.

  While some female cultivators admired Ye Chen, seeing it as deep affection,

  Sun Ruoxin thought Ye Chen was quite unambitious.

  A man who pleases women without boundaries, what future could he have?

  Truly self-indulgent.

  Sun Ruoxin pondered, standing up and speaking pinly: "I am Sun Ruoxin!"

  Sun Ruoxin didn't respond to the junior-senior talk.

  You lick spirit, trying to get close to me.

  Yet Ye Chen didn't mind Sun Ruoxin's cold attitude.

  He briefly observed Sun Ruoxin, his eyes lighting up.

  Sun Ruoxin was very young, her exquisite face exuding a youthful and vibrant aura.

  She had the charm of a girl next door.

  Her figure was curvaceous, not as explosive as Lu Jing's, but perfectly proportioned.

  But Sun Ruoxin's most captivating feature was undoubtedly her legs.

  Long, slender, and fair, they reminded Ye Chen of a popur phrase from his past life: "legs for years."

  However, Ye Chen didn't stare for long, instead smiling as he took out a bracelet from his pocket: "The senior said I would be attending csses with Senior Sister from now on..."

  "It's my first time meeting Senior Sister, so it's not right to come empty-handed."

  "I thought this bracelet looked nice, so I bought it to give to Senior Sister."

  "Is Senior Sister satisfied?"

  As Ye Chen finished speaking, both Sun Ye and Sun Ruoxin's eyes widened...
