Yun Shan's Plan!

"Boss Ye, could I please have another glass?"

Having finished her first, Nalan Yanran was clearly still wanting more. She held up her empty Ice Crystal Cup, her gaze fixed on Ye Yun with eager anticipation.

"No problem."

Ye Yun readily refilled the cups for both of them.

Soon, a large bottle of Pepsi had been completely polished off by the three of them.

"Is it all gone?"

Nalan Yanran finished the last of the cola in her cup and stared at the bottom of the bottle, stunned for a moment. A look of disappointment crossed her eyes; she clearly hadn't had her fill.

"How could it be gone? I'll make sure you both have your fill today."

A faint smile appeared on Ye Yun's face. With a thought, he retrieved another large bottle of Pepsi from his system space.

Seeing this, Nalan Yanran's face immediately lit up with surprise. She shamelessly handed her Ice Crystal Cup to Ye Yun and pleaded, "Boss Ye, please fill it up for me again."

"Sure."

After chilling the Pepsi in his hand, Ye Yun immediately refilled their cups.

He had to admit, being in this strange world and having people to share instant noodles and cola with made Ye Yun feel quite happy.

It made him feel as if he had instantly rediscovered the sensation of his past life.

It was as if he had never transmigrated at all.

This feeling was incredibly comforting.

In the end, after the three of them finished two large bottles of Pepsi, Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun returned to the Misty Cloud Sect, their small bellies slightly distended and letting out occasional hiccups.

When Yun Yun returned to the main peak of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Shan was actually still waiting in the great hall.

Sensing that Yun Yun had returned, he immediately summoned her over.

"Yun'er, how did it go?"

From his seat of honor, Yun Shan scrutinized Yun Yun, asking with a hint of expectation.

"How did what go?"

Yun Yun hadn't reacted yet and asked subconsciously.

The corners of Yun Shan's mouth twitched slightly as he glared at her: "Naturally, I mean your relationship with Boss Ye! How are things between you two? What is Boss Ye's attitude toward you? Has there been any progress?"

Yun Yun recalled the evening's events—Ye Yun treating her to instant noodles and cola—and figured they could now be considered friends.

Thinking of this, Yun Yun smiled at Yun Shan and said, "The progress is quite good. Boss Ye is truly a wonderful person."

Hearing Yun Yun's assessment of Ye Yun, Yun Shan's eyes lit up: "Oh? You went to Boss Ye's place tonight; would you mind telling your master what you two did?"

Yun Yun nodded and recounted everything that had happened that evening, though she naturally omitted any mention of Nalan Yanran.

She was still very protective of her own disciple.

"You just ate instant noodles, drank... that beverage called Pepsi, and did nothing else?"

Hearing this, Yun Shan immediately frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the result.

He looked over Yun Yun, who had dressed up for the occasion, and thought to himself: Could I have overthought it? Does that Boss Ye have no interest in Yun'er at all?

"Isn't doing all that enough?"

"Master, the fact that Boss Ye was willing to share so much food from his hometown with me shows that he at least considers me a friend. Isn't that what you wanted when you told me to win him over?"

Yun Yun asked, looking somewhat puzzled.

Why is this silly disciple so dense?

Hearing Yun Yun's words, the corners of Yun Shan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Was that really all I meant?

He looked at his naive disciple and sighed silently in his heart.

It seemed this silly disciple couldn't be counted on.

Afterward, Yun Shan recalled the VIP card Yun Yun had mentioned earlier.

"Yun'er, you said earlier that as long as one accumulates a total expenditure of 500,000 gold coins, one can obtain a Level 1 VIP Card from Boss Ye?"

Thinking of the benefits of the VIP card Yun Yun had mentioned, Yun Shan's heart stirred. Since the path through Yun Yun was a dead end, he could only pin his hopes on this VIP card.

Hearing this, Yun Yun nodded and said, "That's right, Master. Boss Ye told me himself: as long as an individual spends 500,000 gold coins at his shop, they can receive a Level 1 VIP Card."

"This disciple has already spent 400,000 gold coins at Boss Ye's place. Now, I only need to purchase one more jar to directly obtain a Level 1 VIP Card."

A brilliant smile appeared on Yun Yun's face: "By then, even if Boss Ye leaves our Misty Cloud Sect, this disciple will still have one opportunity every month to go to Boss Ye's place and purchase jars."

"500,000 gold coins for a VIP card... In that case, we must use tomorrow's five jars wisely to try and secure an extra Level 1 VIP Card." A look of contemplation appeared in Yun Shan's eyes as he spoke with a solemn tone.

"Secure an extra Level 1 VIP Card?"

Hearing this, Yun Yun was slightly stunned, and then her eyes lit up.

That's right!

There are still five jars left to open tomorrow; if played correctly, it is entirely possible to secure another Level 1 VIP Card.

After a moment of contemplation, Yun Yun turned her gaze toward Yun Shan and said directly, "Teacher, why don't you open three jars yourself tomorrow? I will go speak with Nalan Yanran about it."

Yun Yun's implication was to have Nalan Yanran's jar quota for tomorrow given to Yun Shan. Combined with the two jars he opened today, it would total exactly five hundred thousand gold coins, enough to obtain a Level 1 VIP Card.

Upon hearing this, Yun Shan frowned slightly and remained silent. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Let Yanran continue opening jars tomorrow, and have her open three."

"Teacher, then what about you?"

Hearing Yun Shan's words, Yun Yun asked in surprise.

"That girl Yanran has better luck than this master; perhaps she is more likely to pull something good. Besides, as you said, that girl has fused with that Devouring Ancestral Talisman, and her future achievements will surely be extraordinary. We must not let her feel slighted over a mere VIP card." A wise light flickered in Yun Shan's cloudy eyes.

"Besides, if you two open anything good, would you not let this master use it?" Yun Shan chuckled.

"This disciple understands."

"Teacher, this disciple will certainly not let you down."

Hearing this, Yun Yun remained silent for a moment before speaking, her tone solemn.

"Mm."

A look of gratification appeared on Yun Shan's face: "What this master seeks now is to break through to the Dou Zong realm. I hope you two disciples can fulfill this wish for me soon."

Yun Shan sighed slightly: "After all, there is not much time left for this master."

Yun Yun replied with a resolute expression: "This disciple will definitely ensure that you successfully break through to the Dou Zong realm, Teacher."

Yun Shan nodded slightly, then suddenly added: "As for Gu He's jar, do not touch it. However, do not disclose the matter of the VIP card to him."

Yun Shan did indeed value Gu He highly, but there was always a trace of wariness in his heart.

After all, he had recruited Gu He to the Misty Cloud Sect years ago with heavy incentives.

Although Gu He had joined the Misty Cloud Sect, in reality, their relationship was more of a partnership.

As Gu He broke through to become a Tier 6 Alchemist and the title of Pill King echoed throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire, this dynamic became even more pronounced.

With Gu He's status as a Tier 6 Alchemist, the current Misty Cloud Sect could no longer restrain him.

Perhaps one day, for some reason, he might simply walk away from the Misty Cloud Sect.

Hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Yun Yun's beautiful eyes, but she quickly understood and nodded, saying, "This disciple understands."
