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

The originally planned birthday banquet was also upgraded.

The banquet directly covered the entire Tianmen area, with a continuous stream of food and drinks, inviting almost everyone, surpassing the hundred-day banquet in scale, and its extravagance was truly astonishing.

It lasted for two consecutive days.

The banquet continued as before.

During this time, Ye Kong scrutinized everyone inside and out. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he specially used the art of disguise to transform into an ordinary young man.

During this period, Ye Kong also unintentionally encountered disciples from the Taichu Academy.

However, the people who came were relatively unfamiliar with Ye Kong, so there was not much interaction.

Ye Kong sat aside, chewing on peanuts, constantly observing his surroundings, a sense of unease welling up in his heart, feeling that everything here was becoming increasingly strange.

Not good, Ye Kong suddenly stood up.

He ran all the way to the main hall, panting heavily, and asked Hall Master Li, who was sitting at the top, with an urgent tone, "May I ask where Li Fan has gone?"

Hall Master Li glanced at Ye Kong, "Recently, I have been busy with affairs and quite tired. He is resting in the厢房 (xiāngfáng). Who are you?"

"I am Li Fan's senior brother. Is it possible to see him?"

"That won't do. I don't know what kind of senior brother you are. You should still pay attention to your identity!" Hall Master Li said, getting up to leave. Without Sect Leader Teng Renhuai present, what were the elders but empty titles?

Such straightforwardness stunned Ye Kong for a moment. Then, his expression became serious, obviously the more he was blocked, the more it indicated there was a problem.

Ye Kong directly turned around and went out, starting to search one by one.

After two days of observation, Ye Kong roughly understood the overall layout of the Yanshou Hall, with twelve rooms each in the front, back, left, and right, arranged in a 器 (qì) shape. The most central location was the current main hall. Among them, the most untouchable place seemed to really exist.

Ye Kong jumped onto the courtyard wall. The quiet courtyard was a stark contrast to the noisy state of the front hall.

It seemed even more eerie.

"Who's there!"

Ye Kong heard a reprimand from below. Immediately afterward, a group of black-clad men with sabers quickly gathered, filling the entire courtyard in a moment.

Ye Kong glanced into the room. White smoke filled the air, with a few red lights faintly visible. There were no living things, so it should be a ancestral hall or something similar.

Ye Kong jumped out. Just as he took two steps, he ran into disciples from the Taichu Academy.

"I heard that this banquet also invited people from the Tengyun Sect. Didn't they say there was a Ye Kong? Why haven't I seen him at all?" The disciple in front of him was speaking.

"He definitely doesn't have the face to see people. I guess ah, the Tengyun Sect wouldn't even call this disciple with a tarnished reputation out of the sect!"

"No, Ye Kong has not only come but is also enjoying the main banquet in the main hall as the great benefactor of the Yanshou Hall!" Ye Kong walked forward two steps, seeing the pure white jade pendant on the disciple's body, knowing that these were the new disciples that the Taichu Academy had just selected this year.

Heh, even the Taichu Academy only looks at that little bit of strength when selecting disciples, and doesn't mention character at all!

Useless, useless.

"Who are you?" The disciple who had just slandered Ye Kong raised his head, recognizing that Ye Kong was dressed plainly, so he should be a disciple from a small sect.

"We are disciples of the Taichu Academy. You should salute us when you see us and make way, understand?"

"Haha, just based on you? Just introductory disciples, speaking more arrogantly than the elders. What, is this how the Taichu Academy teaches you?

But I'm very free, and I'm happy to discipline you on behalf of the Taichu Academy!" After Ye Kong finished speaking, he directly raised his hand and pointed, and the two disciples were instantly silenced. Then, their bodies rose into the air, hanging upside down on the wall beside them.

"The spell will naturally be released in three hours." Ye Kong threw down a sentence and turned to leave.

A gust of sword wind brushed past his face.

Ye Kong leaped to the side, lightly stepping on the sword's body. Only then did he see the person who came, and there was even an unexpected surprise.

It was actually Shen Fanshuang!

Why would she come?

Shen Fanshuang's face was cold, and she took back the sword and held it in reverse, splitting downwards with her other hand, directly towards Ye Kong's face.

Ye Kong jumped back two steps, casually blocking it, and looked directly at the person in front of him.

After a long absence, Shen Fanshuang's eyebrows were a little colder, her body was even thinner, her cheeks were sunken, and her face was frighteningly pale.

Some words were stuck in Ye Kong's throat, not knowing where to start.

Shen Fanshuang put down her sword and asked, "I don't know what mistake the disciples in the academy have made, that they have suffered such humiliation? I must seek justice for the disciples!"

Ye Kong waved his hand and released the magic on the two disciples.

The two disciples rolled and crawled over, kneeling in front of Shen Fanshuang and crying, "Senior Sister Shen, we were just passing by, and we don't know where this person came out of and beat us up, and hung us up.

Senior Sister must stand up for us!"

Shen Fanshuang looked at Ye Kong. Just as she was about to reach out, Ye Kong had already teleported in front of her, grabbing Shen Fanshuang's hand.

A sense of familiarity came over him.

But in an instant, Shen Fanshuang directly shook off his hand, using her long sword to seal his throat.

Ye Kong stretched out two fingers to block it. "I just heard these two disciples slandering Ye Kong's reputation, and I couldn't help but teach them a lesson.

Senior Sister Shen, instead of fighting with me here, you should properly discipline your subordinates!"

Hearing Ye Kong say this, Shen Fanshuang looked behind her, "Embarrassing, return to the Taichu Academy immediately to receive punishment!"

Then she turned around, looked directly at Ye Kong, "From what you said, you know Ye Kong very well?"

"I don't know him very well, I've heard people mention him a few times!" Ye Kong replied.

"Just because you heard him mentioned a few times, you beat someone up for him, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" Shen Fanshuang didn't let up.

"As for Ye Kong's character, the people from your Taichu Academy should know more than I do. If you have something, excuse me first!" Ye Kong's figure disappeared in front of them in an instant.

Shen Fanshuang stood in place, and after a long time, she called out to her back, and four disciples immediately set off.

At night.

Ye Kong thought about it and still felt that there was a problem with the small courtyard. The next moment, he had already arrived in the small courtyard.

There were no lights here, and the surrounding area was terribly quiet.

Ye Kong accidentally kicked a jar, and a voice instantly came from inside, "Who's outside?"

The voice of the Hall Master of the Yanshou Hall!

What is he doing here?

The next step Ye Kong jumped to the roof. Just as he lifted a tile, the tile under his feet suddenly collapsed, and Ye Kong fell into the room along with the tile.

But it didn't stop there.

Boom

The floor scattered from both sides, and a bronze furnace was embedded in it.

The bronze furnace was bottomless. After a long time, Ye Kong landed, and his entire internal organs were about to be shaken out.

After a while, Ye Kong gasped for breath before he could adapt to the darkness here.

Then he felt the surrounding temperature gradually rising.

"Li Su Yan! What are you doing!" Ye Kong shouted loudly.

"A big one actually came! Hahaha!" Li Su Yan's laughter outside the bronze furnace grew louder.

"Don't worry, I will make good use of your endless spiritual energy!"
