Chapter 1553: Still coming? You brat, could it be just for the food?

Enter the treasure vault, and at a glance it is all kinds of dazzling treasures.

Various magical artifacts, divine weapons, pills, and formation disks dazzle the eyes.

Anyone who enters would likely be unable to look away for a while, but Ye Zhangqing felt nothing special.

First, he lacks no cultivation resources; second, any treasure in the sect's vault can be taken whenever he needs it.

He went straight to the corner of the vault where the Demon Emperor ingredients are stored.

These Demon Emperor ingredients are well preserved; it can be seen that even during the great war, Yun Xiantai and the others were careful and did not damage the ingredients.

He selected three portions of Demon Emperor ingredients, then Ye Zhangqing left and did not linger.

Two stewards respectfully saw Ye Zhangqing off; upon returning to the canteen, Ye Zhangqing began to process the three portions of Demon Emperor ingredients.

Since it is to be used as a "great medicine" to help Qi Xiong and the two others break through to the Emperor Sovereign Realm, Ye Zhangqing naturally was very careful.

Every step was done to the utmost.

Three days later, Qi Xiong, Wu Shou, and Hong Zun, together with Yun Xiantai, came to the canteen.

It could be seen that excitement filled the eyes of all three.

After all, this time each person gets an entire portion of Demon Emperor ingredients, and no one is competing with them.

Such a lavish meal, they had forgotten how long it had been since they last ate like this; how could they not be excited?

"You are here to break through, not to eat; later, eat carefully for me."

Seeing their appearance, Yun Xiantai spoke with frustration, "This bunch of rebellious disciples, all they think about is eating."

Hearing this, the three all nodded in agreement, but obviously they did not take it in.

Yun Xiantai led the three to a private room, where three tables were already filled with various abundant dishes.

One table per person; seeing this, Hong Zun and the others stared wide-eyed.

Such overwhelming fortune—has it finally come to them?

Good, good, good; just looking at today's meal feels satisfying.

"Ancestor, it's enough."

Ye Zhangqing then walked in and said to Yun Xiantai.

Hearing this, Yun Xiantai nodded, then spoke unhappily to Hong Zun and the others.

"Go, remember the important matter for me; don't just focus on eating."

"Yes, Master."

Hearing Yun Xiantai's words, the three hurriedly sat down and immediately began to wolf down their food.

Seeing the three's coarse eating manner, Yun Xiantai's mouth twitched; his words were still treated as wind in the ears by these rebellious disciples.

A table full of food, the three swept it away like wind blowing away clouds, eating it completely clean.

After eating, Yun Xiantai had the three go into closed-door cultivation to attempt breaking through to the Emperor Sovereign Realm.

The energy contained in these Demon Emperor ingredients is enormous, comparable to a great medicine.

Hong Zun and the two others, having eaten a full table, felt this most deeply.

Having eaten their fill and drunk their fill, the three naturally thought of the breakthrough, nodding repeatedly in agreement.

Moreover, they indeed felt a sensation of breakthrough within their bodies.

That very night they went into closed-door cultivation, attempting to break through to the Emperor Sovereign Realm.

And Ye Zhangqing finally completed his task, thinking he could rest, but who would have thought that the next day Yun Xiantai brought Hong Zun again.

Moreover, seeing Hong Zun's hunched posture, it was obvious he had just been scolded.

With a dark face, he came and sat beside Ye Zhangqing; Yun Xiantai gritted his teeth and said.

"Little Ye Zhangqing, make another portion of Demon Emperor ingredients for this guy."

"Huh???"

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing looked puzzled, "Didn't he just eat? Why another?"

Faced with Ye Zhangqing's gaze, Yun Xiantai's anger flared, and he spoke unhappily.

"This rebellious disciple ate a whole table yesterday, yet felt no breakthrough sensation; after a night of closed-door cultivation, there was no movement at all; I estimate he still needs another portion of Demon Emperor ingredients."

"Alright."

"Is the potency insufficient?" Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing said nothing more and simply nodded.

Seeing this, Hong Zun's eyes lit up; "Can I eat another table?"

"Only need to prepare one portion of Demon Emperor ingredients; Ye Zhangqing has enough time in a day."

That night, Ye Zhangqing again prepared a full table of dishes for Hong Zun.

Hong Zun swept it away like wind and clouds, and ate it deliciously.

Seeing him rub his belly with a satisfied expression, Yun Xiantai scolded unhappily.

"All you do is eat, eat, eat; if you don't break through this time, see how I deal with you—get lost and go back to closed-door cultivation."

"Okay, Master."

Faced with Yun Xiantai's angry scolding, Hong Zun didn't care at all; he naturally knows his master's temperament.

Moreover, having just eaten a hearty meal, his mood can be said to be very good.

Having had lavish meals for two consecutive days, all of them Demon Emperor ingredients, and with no one to compete, it feels wonderful.

He nodded, then Hong Zun directly returned to closed-door cultivation.

Yun Xiantai also did not linger, and left quickly as well.

Ye Zhangqing felt that now he probably had nothing left to do.

But the next day at noon, just as Yun Xiantai had finished lunch and was in closed-door cultivation in his dong fu, he heard Hong Zun coming again.

Seeing Hong Zun before him, Yun Xiantai's face darkened, his teeth grinding as he spoke.

Didn't I tell you to go into seclusion? What are you running around all day for?

It's not that, Master... I... I feel it's still lacking a bit; maybe I need to eat another demon emperor ingredient.

Huh???

Hearing this, Yun Xiantai eyed Hong Zun up and down with a doubtful expression.

Only after a moment did he speak.

You little brat, you wouldn't be doing this just to get a meal, would you?

It's not impossible; this brat has pulled something like this before.

Besides, with Hong Zun's temperament, there's nothing shameful he hasn't done; this guy is just someone with an incredibly thick skin.

So, Yun Xiantai had every reason to believe that this guy likely avoided breaking through on purpose just to get a meal; he would definitely do something like that.

But upon hearing this, Hong Zun also grew anxious and hurriedly explained.

Heavens, Master! I, Hong someone, have been slacking off lately, but I still know what's important; how could I play tricks on breaking through to the Emperor Sovereign Realm?

I really feel it's still a bit short; if I eat another one, another one, I will definitely be able to break through.

Seeing Hong Zun's solemn, earnest expression, Yun Xiantai couldn't be sure whether he was telling the truth.

But both demon emperor ingredients have already been consumed; if we quit halfway, wouldn't what we've already eaten be completely wasted?

So, watching Hong Zun desperately defend himself, Yun Xiantai asked doubtfully.

You're serious?

Absolutely certain, Master!

Alright, I'll believe you once more; if you mess up this time, I as your master will definitely make you regret it.

Master, rest assured; I, your disciple, will absolutely not disappoint your expectations.

Left with no choice, Yun Xiantai again brought Hong Zun to Ye Zhangqing's place; upon seeing Hong Zun, without either of them speaking, Ye Zhangqing already guessed their purpose.

He said with a complex expression.

Ancestor, do we have to go through this again?

Come on, Ye Zhangqing kid, this unworthy disciple is too useless; we've already eaten two, and if we give up now, we'd be at a huge loss.

Yun Xiantai replied with a dark face.
