In their previous life, whenever they went to Ye Chen to ask for spirit stones, they could get as many as they wanted.
However, now that they were dealing with Qian Tang, the man was unbelievably stingy. Not only did he refuse to give them spirit stones, he even fiercely scolded them in return… Liu Hongyu and the others were furious on the spot.
Liu Hongyu glared angrily and said, “You’re too stingy! It’s just spirit stones, they’re not something rare or precious!”
Lu Mengyao clenched her teeth and said, “Once our cultivation level improves and we shine in the sect assessment, won’t the Servants’ Quarters benefit as well? Even if you’re worried, it doesn’t matter. We can just return them to you in the future!”
In her heart, she was extremely dissatisfied with Qian Tang. She felt that he clearly did not lack such a small amount of spirit stones, so why couldn’t he just give them some to support their cultivation? Once they had the ability, they would definitely return them. Why did he have to be so petty?
Liu Hongyu raised her chin arrogantly and said, “Exactly. In the future we will definitely reach the Emperor Realm. Do you think we’d still care about your little spirit stones then? If you provide spirit stones for us to cultivate now, maybe people will even praise you for your vision!”
Li Qinghuan also looked at Qian Tang with an expression that seemed like she was giving him a great favor and said, “You also want three Emperor Realm disciples in the future, right?”
Qian Tang’s expression instantly darkened. He had truly never seen such shameless people before.
He was so angry that he laughed, then coldly stared at Liu Hongyu and the others as he snapped, “Just you three, and you still dream of reaching the Emperor Realm? You’re daydreaming! It’s simply delusional! If you three can reach the Emperor Realm, then pigs can climb trees! With your trash aptitude, even if I gave you endless spirit stones, it would still be a waste! Even if I fed spirit stones to dogs, I wouldn’t give them to you!”
The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he even wanted to teach them a lesson.
They dared to come and ask him for spirit stones while acting all high and mighty.
Anyone who didn’t know better would think the three of them were elders of the Servants’ Quarters.
The three girls were scolded until their faces flushed red.
Their chests trembled with suppressed anger as they stared at Qian Tang with great unwillingness. Liu Hongyu clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and said, “Don’t look down on people. Sooner or later, we will reach the Emperor Realm!”
In her previous life, she had successfully reached the Emperor Realm, so she firmly believed she could still succeed in this life.
Li Qinghuan and Lu Mengyao were also extremely angry. Their breaths were heavy, and they glared at Qian Tang with hatred. This man was simply looking down on them far too much. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Qian Tang sneered impatiently and said, “I just like looking down on you. So what? Emperor Realm? You should think about reaching Foundation Establishment first! Stop bragging!”
Three disciples at the 1st stage of the Qi Refining Realm shouting about reaching the Emperor Realm—who wouldn’t think they were crazy?
Even the sect master Han Mengli of the Heavenly Mystic Immortal Sect was only at the Great Ascension Realm. Who did these three think they were?
Liu Hongyu was so angry she could barely speak. Li Qinghuan glared and said coldly, “Fine! If you won’t give them, then don’t give them! Even without spirit stones, we can still cultivate. Just wait and see!”
In her heart, she secretly swore that once her cultivation level surpassed Qian Tang’s, she would definitely come back to settle accounts with him. What a dog-eyed man who looked down on people.
Lu Mengyao was also furious. She had originally planned to rely on getting spirit stones from Qian Tang to assist with cultivation, yet instead, she was humiliated like this. If this were in their previous life, she would have slapped him to death long ago. Just a small elder of the Servants’ Quarters dared to humiliate them like this.
The three girls turned around angrily and left, no longer hoping for spirit stones from him.
Qian Tang didn’t take their words seriously at all. He didn’t believe they could ever reach the Emperor Realm. In his opinion, in less than three months, they would definitely be driven out of the sect in humiliation.
…
Inside the old and shabby room of the Servants’ Quarters, Liu Hongyu, Li Qinghuan, and Lu Mengyao were still filled with anger.
As soon as they returned, they sat cross-legged on their beds and began to cultivate desperately, wanting to prove their strength with real actions.
They wanted those who looked down on them to regret it. However, not long after, hunger forced them to stop.
Lu Mengyao was the first to speak. She rubbed her stomach weakly and said, “Senior sister, I’m so hungry…” They had gone to Sword-Hiding Peak to do chores earlier and had basically not eaten the entire day. Their stomachs were already empty.
Liu Hongyu and Li Qinghuan also frowned gloomily.
Their hunger made it impossible to concentrate on cultivation. Their cultivation levels were still stuck at the 1st stage of the Qi Refining Realm. Although they didn’t want others to look down on them, even after trying their best, they were still unable to break through. This made their moods extremely frustrated.

Liu Hongyu took a deep breath and said firmly, “Let’s go eat something to fill our stomachs first. We will continue to cultivate later. I believe that as long as we work hard, even without the Marrow-Cleansing Pill and spirit stones, we can still break through!”
She felt that relying on the experience from her past life, with enough bitter cultivation, breaking through should still be possible.
Li Qinghuan and Lu Mengyao had already lost a bit of confidence, but hearing Liu Hongyu’s determined words, they still nodded reluctantly.
However, the registered disciples who lived in the same room looked at them strangely. During this period of time, Liu Hongyu and the others had been cultivating desperately every day, almost like they were possessed. In the eyes of the other registered disciples, the three of them were no different from lunatics, and no one wanted to associate with them.
…
Meanwhile, at Sword-Hiding Peak, inside the courtyard, Zhao Ling’er and Jiang Qingshu had finished a day of cultivation. After working busily in the kitchen, they served plates of delicacies onto the table.
Zhao Ling’er smiled sweetly and said, “Master, please eat more!”
Jiang Qingshu also smiled and said, “Master, try this dish and see how it tastes!”
“Do these dishes suit your taste?” Both girls continuously picked up food and placed it into Ye Chen’s bowl. Soon, the food in front of him piled up like a small mountain.
Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled with satisfaction and said gently, “I can pick up food myself. You two should eat too. These dishes taste wonderful, and your cooking skills are getting better and better.”
During this period, Zhao Ling’er and Jiang Qingshu had always been the ones cooking. Their cooking skills had improved greatly, and they could prepare a variety of exquisite dishes, allowing Ye Chen to enjoy every meal to his heart’s content.
Hearing Ye Chen’s praise, both Zhao Ling’er and Jiang Qingshu revealed happy smiles. Everything they did felt worthwhile.
In their hearts, they always thought about repaying Ye Chen’s kindness. They couldn’t help him with other matters, so cooking for him was the only thing they could do.
As they were eating, Ye Chen suddenly said calmly, “Tomorrow, I will be going down the mountain. If things go smoothly, I’ll be back in two or three days. If it takes longer, it might be eight or nine days. While I am away, both of you must cultivate diligently. Do not slack off. There are some Pills and spirit stones in this storage bag, enough for your cultivation during this period.”
He took out a storage ring and placed it on the table. Zhao Ling’er and Jiang Qingshu instantly showed reluctant expressions, but they still obediently nodded and replied softly, “Yes, Master, we understand. Rest assured, we won’t slack off.”
Ye Chen was very reassured about them. He nodded in satisfaction, gave them instructions regarding cultivation matters, and then continued eating.
