Qi Refining Level 3000, Accepting The Empress As A Disciple At The Beginning

The disciples on the side drooled when they saw this.

It was freezing cold, and the disciples of Tengyun Sect hadn't seen any meat for a month.

After watching for a long time, finally a few disciples boldly stepped forward and asked, "Is your spicy chicken delicious?"

Li Fan closed his eyes contentedly and savored the flavor, "Of course it's delicious!"

"Wow, is it spicy?"

"It's crispy, numbing, fresh, and fragrant, with the aroma of meat permeating the air."

Li Fan picked up a piece of fish, "Look at the color, just right. It's stewed with fish maw for a full three hours before being served. It melts in your mouth, the juices explode, and the fragrance lingers between your lips and teeth."

The disciples who had gathered around were so envious of these few pieces of meat that they wanted to kneel to Ye Kong.

Ye Kong also took pity on them and, after the two had finished eating, ordered the small kitchen to serve an identical portion.

All the disciples cheered, and his good reputation instantly spread throughout the Tengyun Sect.

With just a few pieces of meat, the elders of Chenggong Hall saw their position threatened overnight. When the news reached him, Elder Chengtian smashed the plaque in front of him with a single palm strike.

After the meal, Li Fan followed Ye Kong back to Qingliang Garden. Along the way, Li Fan was still reminiscing about the impact of that meat dish, tirelessly asking Ye Kong, "Will we be able to eat such meals every day from now on?"

Ye Kong nodded, "Of course, you can eat whenever you want."

"That's great. Not only did I not get punished, but I also got a special small kitchen. I knew you were a big shot, Ye Kong. Holding onto your thigh was definitely the right choice!" Li Fan was very grateful for his decision back then.

Ye Kong turned his head, "However, this meal also comes with a small price."

"What?"

"It's selling you off!"

Ye Kong said from the front.

"What do you mean?"

Li Fan chased after him from behind.

At midnight, Ye Kong and Li Fan arrived at Teng Renhuai's wing room.

Teng Renhuai looked at Ye Kong's empty hands and asked, "Didn't you say you had prepared a gift for the birthday celebration? Where is it?"

Ye Kong pulled Li Fan to the front, "It's right here."

Teng Renhuai twitched his nose, his expression obscure, "As far as I know, the Hall Master of the Longevity Hall doesn't seem to have such special preferences..."

Ye Kong chuckled, "You probably don't know the identity of this disciple, Li Fan, do you?"

Teng Renhuai stared at Li Fan for a long time. He was indeed ordinary and couldn't see anything unusual about him. However, Li Fan was wearing a cloud brocade robe with flower patterns. This special pattern seemed to come from the Tianmen area.

"Could it be that you are..." Teng Renhuai pointed at Li Fan, suddenly stood up, his tone rising.

"You are from the Longevity Hall!"

Ye Kong took over the conversation, "Since you are going to the Longevity Hall to celebrate a birthday, you should know that the Longevity Hall issued a widespread search warrant a few months ago, offering a reward as high as seven figures, to find the Hall Master's youngest son."

"And the person they have been searching for everywhere is right here."

"Good, good!" Teng Renhuai immediately got up, looked Li Fan up and down carefully, his smile growing, "Since you are the young master of the Longevity Hall, you must be treated with great respect.

In that case, move to the Zijin Pavilion and go to the Longevity Hall with me tomorrow."

"No need. It's good for Elder Ye Kong and I to live in Qingliang Garden. Also, I would like Elder Ye Kong to accompany us to the Longevity Hall tomorrow," Li Fan stated his conditions.

At this time, Teng Renhuai only had seven figures in his eyes, so naturally he agreed to whatever Li Fan said, repeatedly agreeing. He also called the warehouse disciples to let Li Fan choose a few treasures to take with him, so that he could say a few good words for him in the Longevity Hall tomorrow.

Well, the inside of this Tengyun Sect is far worse than it appears on the surface.

On the way back, Li Fan tilted his head and asked Ye Kong, "When did you find out? I thought I was hiding it very well."

"Let's not talk about how an ordinary disciple like you is wearing clothes that are slightly more elaborate than the Sect Leader's. Even your daily behavior is not that of an ordinary person," Ye Kong replied in a serious tone.

After all, only the youngest son of a family would be naive and ignorant of worldly affairs.

"You guessed it just based on that!" Li Fan was truly in awe of Ye Kong.

"Well, actually, the last time in the bathroom, I inadvertently saw the tattoo on your ankle, which is the unique mark of the Longevity Hall," Ye Kong said.

Li Fan immediately went to cover his ankle, "Don't look!"

Ye Kong turned his face away, "However, the Longevity Hall has a unique secret technique that can infinitely extend lifespan, and many people yearn for it. Although its reputation is not as good as the Taichu Academy, it has a certain position in the sect rankings. Why didn't you stay in the Longevity Hall to cultivate, but instead came to this almost unknown Tengyun Sect?"

Li Fan pouted, "I just wanted to prove myself."

Ye Kong nodded, understanding that the Hall Master of the Longevity Hall should be choosing the next successor.

"However, due to the influence of forbidden techniques, disciples who practice the Longevity Hall's longevity technique cannot leave the Longevity Hall too far or for too long, so is that why you haven't practiced any spells?" Ye Kong wanted to know more about the person in front of him.

"No," Li Fan shook his head.

"I stripped the spells out of my body myself."

Ye Kong suddenly turned around, shocked by Li Fan's choice.

"What's so good about longevity? If you can't get what you want, living another day is a waste," Li Fan didn't care.

Ye Kong sighed, "The things that everyone spends their entire lives pursuing, you have already obtained but discarded like worn-out shoes, and instead pursue things that others look down on."

"You are truly a hidden big shot!"

"You don't sound like you're praising me!" Li Fan glared at Ye Kong, "Anyway, it's agreed, I'll only help you this once, I don't want to go back again in the future!"

A good night's sleep.

The next morning, Ye Kong was still woken up. Li Fan on the side had already packed up, and the threshold was about to be broken by him.

Outside the door, Sect Leader Teng Renhuai had already sent new clothes and belongings.

[Ye Kong's special small kitchen] had also prepared today's meal.

Everything was ready.

Outside the sect gate.

Teng Renhuai assigned the major and minor affairs of the sect to Elder Chengtian. The six elders stood on both sides, and the disciples behind them were lined up in a triangular formation, facing the group.

Although the elders were very dissatisfied with Ye Kong going with them, after all, what qualifications did Ye Kong have to receive such treatment?

However, with two stumbling blocks gone, it would be more convenient for others to handle affairs in the sect.

Inside the Longevity Hall.

From the moment Teng Renhuai led Li Fan into the Longevity Hall, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Fan.

The old and frail Hall Master Li Suyan was already in tears when he saw Li Fan. He held Li Fan's hand and sat on the main hall, introducing him to the elders of the various sects who had come to celebrate his birthday.

Hearing that Tengyun Sect had helped to send him back, he not only gave all the promised items, but also doubled them.

To express his gratitude, he specially invited Ye Kong and the others to stay in the Longevity Hall for a few days.

Since it had become a double blessing, the effect was directly maximized.
