"Come on, hit me!"
"Hit me again!"
Meng Fan thought to himself with a rather "shameless" attitude.
However, this time, when his hand was still two feet away from the Azure Fish Sword, it reacted.
The sword glowed with a bright azure light, but it did not attack Meng Fan again.
Meng Fan could clearly feel a sense of disdain!
It was bizarre; he could actually feel disdain from a sword?
The Azure Fish Sword flashed with azure light, turned into a blur, and disappeared right in front of Meng Fan.
"Don't go, keep hitting me!" Meng Fan shouted unwillingly.
At that moment, Ye Qingyu walked out from the grand hall, looking at Meng Fan talking to himself with a confused expression.
"If you're itching for a beating, I can help you with that!" Ye Qingyu said, looking at Meng Fan strangely.
She was actually quite willing to help with Meng Fan's request.
Meng Fan frowned and looked at Ye Qingyu, "Why did you come out so quickly?"
"Everything's done. I was worried you'd be waiting too long and that the Ye family might give you trouble, so I hurried out. Where are they?" Ye Qingyu asked Meng Fan.
"A bunch of cowards, I scared them off," Meng Fan said dismissively.
He discreetly put the Sword Pellet into his storage ring.
The place where the Azure Fish Sword disappeared was inside this Sword Pellet.
Like the other spiritual swords, the Azure Fish Sword had entered the Sword Pellet, but it did so voluntarily.
Clearly, it didn't want too much contact with Meng Fan, but it hadn't completely left him either.
From the previous emotions of the Azure Fish Sword, Meng Fan felt its disdain towards him.
It despised his low cultivation level, thought he was weak, and didn't want to acknowledge him as its master.
This was normal; a divine sword naturally had its pride. It wouldn't willingly recognize a small cultivator at the Heavenly Origin Realm as its master!
But the fact that it hid inside the Sword Pellet instead of leaving showed that it still cared about Meng Fan, the inheritor of the Sword Immortal of Alchemy.
So Meng Fan didn't force it. He knew that when he became stronger, the sword would eventually come out and recognize him as its master.
Moreover, with his current cultivation level, it was indeed impossible to control a divine sword.
Even if it drained him dry, he wouldn't be able to wield the divine sword for a single strike!
"Since everything's settled, let's go," Meng Fan said decisively, suggesting they leave the Ye family without further ado.
"Alright!" Ye Qingyu naturally didn't refuse.
To be honest, she didn't want to stay in the Ye family any longer either!
Even though this was her home…
Just as they were about to leave, Xiao Qing suddenly darted out from Meng Fan's pocket and ran towards the grand hall.
Meng Fan frowned and asked Ye Qingyu, "Is there anything else in the grand hall?"
Ye Qingyu shook her head, "No, there's only the alchemy inheritance from the ancestor, which I've already obtained."
The two of them, one obtaining the Sword Dao inheritance of the Sword Immortal of Alchemy, and the other obtaining the alchemy inheritance, complemented each other well!
"Could it be that Xiao Qing sensed something you didn't notice?"
Meng Fan was puzzled and quickly followed Xiao Qing into the grand hall.
Ye Qingyu followed, but she didn't really believe that Meng Fan's pet could find anything.
The grand hall was empty, with only an inheritance jade slip that she had already taken.
This showed that the Sword Immortal of Alchemy valued his Sword Dao inheritance more, hence the grand inheritance sword formation.
The alchemy inheritance, on the other hand, was just a jade slip.
Meng Fan entered the grand hall and saw Xiao Qing climbing the wall. The little creature had already reached the ceiling.
Then it started rummaging through the beams and retrieved a jade box.
Meng Fan didn't know what was inside the jade box, but he saw Xiao Qing's mouth suddenly enlarge and swallow the entire box.
Seeing this, Meng Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
This little guy was afraid he'd snatch it, so it swallowed the box in a hurry!
Wasn't this like eating an apple without peeling it?
"Come down!" he said to Xiao Qing, annoyed.
Xiao Qing paused for two seconds before jumping down.
The pause was clearly to swallow the box, afraid Meng Fan would pry it out of its mouth.
Back in front of Meng Fan, Xiao Qing wagged its tail, trying to please him.
Swallowing a treasure without the master's permission would surely make the master angry.
But it couldn't resist!
And it knew that once it had swallowed the item, the master probably wouldn't punish it too harshly.
Meng Fan lifted Xiao Qing by its tail to eye level.
"What did you just swallow?" he asked, staring into Xiao Qing's eyes.
In fact, Meng Fan didn't intend to punish Xiao Qing.
They were about to leave, and Xiao Qing finding a treasure was its own fortune.
But Meng Fan was curious about what Xiao Qing had swallowed.
Xiao Qing replied honestly, "Master, I don't know either. I just know it's a spiritual medicine, and my instincts tell me it will be very beneficial to me!"
A spiritual medicine?
Meng Fan glanced at Ye Qingyu.
Ye Qingyu shook her head, "I don't know either, but since it found the spiritual medicine, it must be its destiny."
She hadn't expected that there would be a spiritual medicine hidden in the beams of the grand hall.
This didn't seem like something the ancestor would do.
So where did the spiritual medicine come from?
Could someone have been here before?
No, the inheritance sword formation set up by the ancestor had never been broken, so no one should have been able to enter the grand hall!
Ye Qingyu couldn't figure it out and decided to stop thinking about it.
It didn't matter to her as long as she had obtained the alchemy inheritance of the Sword Immortal of Alchemy.
"Xiao Qing, sense again and see if there's any other hidden treasure in this grand hall," Meng Fan said to Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing looked serious, carefully scanning the surroundings, then closed its eyes and sensed intently.
Finally, it shook its head helplessly.
"Master, I can't sense anything. There shouldn't be anything left here."
Meng Fan nodded and waved his hand, summoning a Night Pearl from the ceiling of the grand hall.
Ye Qingyu looked at Meng Fan in surprise.
She was sure it was just an ordinary Night Pearl, nothing special!
Meng Fan smiled slightly, "This thing is worth some money, probably enough to sell for a few Spirit Stones."
Ye Qingyu was speechless.
Are you serious?
In her mind, she had already regarded Meng Fan as a "big shot."
But at this moment, Meng Fan's behavior really lowered the "big shot" vibe!
