The boy who couldn't eat his fill!

Lin Ye thought for a moment and changed the name of the Succubus Body Refining Instruction to the Icy Heart and Jade Purity Body Refining Technique. He also added some descriptions, saying that cultivating it could make a person beautiful and more attractive.

Then he revised the contents of the Cultivation Method, rewording the various descriptions. It took him quite some time to finish.

"All done. I'll pass it on to Dongfang Bai and his sister Dongfang Rou tomorrow!"

Lin Ye put away the manual he had written and went to sleep.

Early the next morning.

When Lin Ye got up, he found that Dongfang Bai and Dongfang Rou were already awake, waiting for his instructions.

"Come in!"

Lin Ye called them inside and passed the Cultivation Methods on to the siblings.

"Dongfang Bai, this Cultivation Method is for you." Lin Ye handed the Sunflower Body Refining Technique to Dongfang Bai, who looked at its name and then its introduction. When he saw that it was meant for those born eunuchs, he was astonished. He had never imagined such a Cultivation Method existed in the world.

"If this Cultivation Method is genuine, then the person who created it must be a sage to people like me!"

Excited, Dongfang Bai put the manual away, intending to cultivate it properly later.

"Take these pills and use them for cultivation." Lin Ye also gave Dongfang Bai the Blood Extreme Body Refining Pills, which he had coated in flour to disguise them.

"Thank you, Master!"

Dongfang Bai was immensely grateful.

Lin Ye turned his gaze to Dongfang Rou. "Xiao Rou, this Cultivation Method is for you!"

Dongfang Rou took the Succubus Body Refining Instruction and looked at the name on the manual—the Icy Heart and Jade Purity Body Refining Technique. She opened it and discovered that the Cultivation Method could actually make a person beautiful and attractive. Her eyes sparkled. "This Cultivation Method is wonderful! Master, I'll cultivate this one!"

Lin Ye also gave Dongfang Rou some pills, then told the siblings to cultivate here and not go out.

He took his junior sister Yu Yu out to stroll through the streets, intending to look for more suitable Devil Dao disciples along the way. He still needed two more disciples; once he took them in, he could return to the sect.

Time slowly passed. Lin Ye led Yu Yu through many streets, but Spirit Yang City was simply too big. Even after walking for so long, they had covered only a small area.

Suddenly, a system notification sounded.

"Devil Dao disciple meeting the Supreme Devil Dao System's standards detected. Host, please take him as a disciple as soon as possible!"

"Another suitable disciple!"

Delight showed on Lin Ye's face. He followed the direction indicated by the system and arrived at a large grain shop. A small, skinny boy was struggling to carry a sack of grain. He seemed to have very little strength and could carry only one sack, while the others could each carry three or even four.

Lin Ye watched from a short distance away without intervening.

The boy kept carrying grain for a while longer before finally finishing the job and receiving five copper coins from the shopkeeper. After getting the coins, he bought five steamed buns and wolfed down four of them, but he was still ravenously hungry. He looked at the remaining bun again and again, drool running from his mouth, but he forced himself to resist. Instead, he took out a small piece of cloth, wrapped the bun in it, tucked it away, and headed home.

"Senior Brother, you've been staring at that boy. Could it be that you want to take him as a disciple? He's so weak. Could his aptitude really be any good?" Yu Yu didn't quite understand her senior brother's standards for taking disciples. He didn't conduct any tests or even examine their bones, and each disciple he took was stranger than the last.

"This little fellow isn't simple!" Lin Ye said. "His body is very weak, but didn't you notice? He eats quickly, and he ate four large steamed buns in one go. Normally, an ordinary person with such a weak body couldn't eat four large steamed buns. Two would already be quite a lot, and they'd have to eat them slowly."

Yu Yu's pupils abruptly contracted. "Senior Brother, we can't take him in! He eats so many steamed buns every day, yet he's still so weak. He's eating without putting on any flesh! If he joins our Black-Yellow Sect, won't he eat us into bankruptcy?"

Lin Ye was speechless. He hadn't expected that to be what his junior sister noticed. He could only explain, "He eats quickly, and he's still hungry after four steamed buns. That means his body is craving energy, and he might have a special physique. Of course, it's also possible he was simply hungry for several days."

"Then he must have been hungry for several days." Yu Yu firmly believed it.

"Come on, let's follow him."

Lin Ye didn't care whether the boy had a special physique; he had merely given his junior sister an excuse. The boy was a Devil Dao disciple candidate identified by the system and met the standards for becoming his disciple. Lin Ye would certainly take him in, but he still needed to learn a little about him first. He couldn't take him as a disciple rashly.

Before long, he followed the boy to the end of an old, dilapidated alley. There was a collapsed house there, but one room hadn't completely fallen in. A little less than half of it remained, and the boy lived there.

Besides the boy, there was also a blind girl.

After the boy returned, he took out the steamed bun and handed it to the girl. "Xiao Ya, this bun is for you."

"Brother Xiao Yang, you eat it. I'm not hungry!" The blind girl pressed her lips together.

The boy deliberately puffed out his belly and patted it. "Xiao Ya, I've already eaten my fill. I can't eat any more now. If you don't eat this bun, I'll throw it away."

"I'll eat it!" The blind girl immediately took the bun and began eating it in small bites.

At that moment, Lin Ye and Yu Yu walked over. Only then did the boy notice that someone had followed him home. He immediately grew nervous and hurriedly picked up a stone dagger from a corner, pointing it at Lin Ye. "Who are you? I don't have any money on me, and there's nothing at home either. If you want to rob someone, go rob Rich Man Li's household. They have money."

"Young man, we're not here to rob you. My senior brother wants to take you as his disciple. We're sect martial artists," Yu Yu explained.

"Sect martial artists!"

The boy trembled all over. He knew how powerful sects were, and that his meager strength couldn't possibly threaten sect martial artists. As for taking him as a disciple, he didn't believe it at all.

He had once wanted to join a gang, but after examining his bones, they had said he was trash and had no aptitude for martial arts at all!

"You're still hungry, aren't you? Here, have this."

Lin Ye took some dry rations out of his Storage Bag and tossed them to the boy.

The boy looked at the rations, and his stomach growled again despite himself.

"Go ahead and eat. There's no poison. If I wanted to deal with you, I wouldn't need poison." Lin Ye walked to the side, picked up a stone, and gave it a gentle squeeze. The hard stone instantly crumbled to dust.

The sight made the boy tremble all over. He realized that Lin Ye was a very powerful martial artist, and someone so important was unlikely to poison him.

So he picked up the rations and ate them in great mouthfuls. Just as Lin Ye had expected, he really did eat quickly. And after he finished the rations, his belly had barely changed, as though he had digested them in an instant.

Afterward, Lin Ye took out more food and gave it all to the boy. Despite eating so much, nothing happened to him. Instead, his body grew healthier, and his complexion improved considerably.

"Well? Become my disciple, and I can give you enough food-at the very least, you'll always have your fill. If you continue staying here, never mind you, how much longer can this little girl last?"

Lin Ye's words left the boy completely silent. After a long while, he looked at Lin Ye. "Can you really give us enough to eat?"

"Yes."

Lin Ye answered with certainty.

"Then I'll become your disciple." The boy immediately knelt to take him as his master. Whatever Lin Ye's purpose was, he couldn't resist him, so he might as well become his disciple. At least he would have enough to eat for the time being.
