Chapter Forty-Four: Warm Jade and Fragrant Incense

  A lucky person doesn't need to rush, an unlucky person rushes in vain. This is a philosophy that Ye Feng has always believed in: if it's yours, you can't escape; if it's not yours, going early won't help.

  Before departure, all necessities must be fully prepared. Ye Feng never fights without confidence, especially when it comes to snatching treasures. Who knows, at that time, the treasure might appear, and the scene would become a chaotic mess of flying swords and lawless magic. Luck is important, but sometimes equipment decides everything, just like how he defeated Ruan Jialin.

  Sun Qi saw Ye Feng clarify the situation but didn't rush to the Great Plains, which was puzzling. The disciples of Wang Hai had already set out for the Great Plains later than others, and Ye Feng's departure was even later. Wasn't he afraid that someone would seize the treasure before him?

  Haste makes waste.

  Ye Feng spent a whole day inscribing various talismans, which were the foundation of preserving his life. Without his life, what was the point of having magical treasures?

  Ye Feng's strong point is now seal cutting and talisman drawing, and in fact, Ye Feng's talismans are still invincible.

  One day's time for Ye Feng was enough to inscribe countless talismans.

  What about Ling symbols, petrification symbols, stealth symbols, even the offensive Thunder Blast symbols were all drawn by Ye Feng in large quantities. Although Cloud symbols and Rainfall symbols were somewhat useless, with almost no significant effect, Ye Feng also drew a considerable amount of them. In his eyes, there was no such thing as useless talismans, only cultivators who didn't know how to utilize them.

  Seeing the crazy talismanic symbols, Sun Qi couldn't help but shake his head and thought to himself, Fortunately, I'm only in the foundation building stage and can't enter the ancient ruins. Those cultivators who entered the ancient ruins and had conflicts with Ye Feng are in for a disaster. They don't even need Ye Feng to make a move, just these talismans alone could smash their opponents to death.

  After a busy day, Ye Feng finished writing talismans on the paper.

  Looking at the storage bag full of talismans, a sense of security suddenly rose in my heart.

  Farewell Sun Qi, Ye Feng walked towards the mountain gate.

  "Brother Zhen, you've finally arrived. I and Mei Shi Jie have been waiting for you for a long time." Zhen Xue Tian was holding Mei Zi Ruo's hand, anxiously waiting at the mountain gate.

  "Cousin, Mei Shi Jie, are you also going to the Great Plains?" Ye Feng asked.

  "En, both of us have been waiting for you for several days, wanting to go to your place to find you. Who knew you were in seclusion? Elder Sun didn't allow us to approach, so we had no choice but to wait here." Zhen Xuetian said.

  "How come I don't see that old woman?" Ye Feng was referring to Feifei.

  "You're talking about that annoying Fei Fei, who left with the disciple of Jian Ge first and said that whoever arrives first gets the treasure." Zhen Xue Tian also didn't get along with Fei Fei.

  Ye Feng rushed towards Mei Zhi with a smile, "Sorry, made you wait for so long, Mei Shifu."

  "Ye Feng, you're too polite. If it weren't for your crystal stone, I wouldn't have been able to advance my cultivation to the Refining Qi stage. Speaking to me like this, I really don't dare to accept." Mei Zhi Ruo's face was smiling, with a peach blossom complexion, and she looked particularly beautiful.

  Mei Zhi had reached the peak of Qi gathering period not long ago, and should have gone on to impact the refining Qi period. However, she was hindered by the lack of crystal stones, which were necessary for her to advance, so her cultivation remained stagnant at the peak of Qi gathering.

  If in some major factions or sects, once a disciple reaches the pinnacle of their level, and needs crystal stones to impact even higher levels, they will provide crystal stones for the disciples free of charge.

  Wang Hai Sect was also like this in the past, but that was the Wang Hai Sect of the past. At that time, Wang Hai Sect had not declined and was one of the top sects in Zhongzhou. It also had some reputation in Jiuzhou. The sect controlled its own mineral veins, and the supply of crystal stones was not a problem. However, after many years of mining, the mineral veins eventually dried up, and Wang Hai Sect gradually declined with the drying up of the mineral veins.

  From then on, the source of Jing Shi for the Wang Hai Sect was affected. When disciples needed Jing Shi to break through to a higher realm, they had to rely on the size of their annual contributions to the sect to determine how much Jing Shi they could obtain. Under this mechanism, most disciples were unable to advance when they reached their peak state due to insufficient Jing Shi, and Mei Zhi Ruo was one of them.

  So when Ye Feng entered the Wang Hai Sect, everyone said that he would not be able to cultivate in this life, let alone his speed of devouring crystal stones, ordinary disciples' crystal stones were already in short supply.

  Who would have thought that Ye Feng, this alternative, actually didn't use the Wànghǎi Pài's half crystal stone, and yet he still managed to raise his cultivation to the Refining Qi stage, leaving everyone stunned.

  Ye Feng had long known that Mei Zhi Ruo was trapped at the peak of Gathering Qi, and he still had a good impression of her in his heart. He had intended to help Mei Zhi Ruo out, which was why he said before the start of the life-and-death arena that he would give Mei Zhi Ruo a big gift.

  As soon as the life-and-death arena ended, Ye Feng gave Mei Zhiruo enough crystal stones.

  Qingmei also strongly refused and was unwilling to accept Ye Feng's crystal stone at first.

  Ye Feng said to Mei Zhi Ruo: "Mei Shifu, in this world, I don't have many friends. After coming to Wang Hai Sect, everyone looked at me with cold eyes. At first, only you were not like that. So, as long as you still recognize me as a friend, please accept my little token of friendship."

  The inarticulate Mei Zhi Ruo's face turned red as she accepted Ye Feng's crystal, and deep down, a shadow seemed to have appeared, but in her consciousness, she didn't realize it.

  Mei Zhi Ruo had long since reached the peak of gathering energy, so advancing to refining energy was much easier for her than Ye Feng. At the same time, her physique wasn't as exhausting as Ye Feng's when advancing, so she left seclusion earlier than him.

  Zhan Xue Tian, as the fairy seed personally chosen by Elder Yin Meng Li, had a physique and talent that far surpassed others. He had already advanced to the Refining Qi stage during his previous closed-door training before the Life and Death Arena was opened, and the crystal stones he needed were given to him by Yin Meng Li.

  Life is like that, getting the leader's appreciation, benefits are endless. Zhen Xue Tian didn't even break a sweat and got enough crystal stones to advance, while Ye Feng's crystals were all obtained through his own abilities. Mei Yi Ruo, on the other hand, got this advancement opportunity simply because she didn't look down on Ye Feng.

  Three people arrived outside the mountain gate, Mei Zhi Ruo and Zhen Xue Tian each drew out a flying sword, suspended above their heads, ready to fly by controlling the swords. Now both of them were in the Refining Qi stage, able to control flying swords, although they were not very skilled yet.

  Ye Feng calmly stopped the two of them, "The flying sword is too slow, let's see my little crane instead." He took out the small crane, put in enough crystal stones, and the small crane instantly grew larger, spreading its wings and flying high.

  Zhen Xue Tian shouted loudly: "You've all forgotten about Brother Bao's treasure!" and pulled Mei Zhi Ruo to jump onto the immortal crane.

  If Mei Zhi hesitated for a moment, she wasn't being polite to Ye Feng, now she had already regarded Ye Feng as her bosom friend.

  But looking at the crane thinking about how to sit, three people riding a crane together, seemingly very ungraceful.

  Ye Feng saw Mei Zhi Ruo's hesitation and also understood this point, feeling a bit embarrassed, but secretly delighted. One was his nominal cousin, the other was his charming and elegant senior sister, what a rare opportunity!

  Pretending not to notice Mei Zhi Ruo's embarrassment, he said: "Xue Tian and Shifu Mei sat in the front, I sat in the back."

  Mei Zhi Ruo didn't say anything either, and together with Zhen Xue Tian, they jumped up and sat on the neck of the immortal crane. Ye Feng sat at the tail of the immortal crane with a pleased expression.

  "Whoosh!" The immortal crane let out a long cry, spread its wings and flew high into the clouds, disappearing from sight.

  Jian Xianhe lost his trace, and the two Sword Pavilion disciples guarding the mountain gate simultaneously snorted in disdain.

  "Damn it, this useless guy is really lucky in love, two beautiful women as lovely as flowers are throwing themselves at him."

  "Never mind about that for now, let's hurry up and report Ye Feng's whereabouts to the elder." another disciple reminded.

  These two unlucky guys, formerly sword pavilion disciples, were once domineering in the entire Wanghai sect. Any disciple who saw a Sword Pavilion disciple would respectfully call out "Shixiong".

  Ever since Ye Feng defeated Ruan Jialin in the life-and-death arena and won a large amount of crystal stones, the reputation of Jian Ge has never been the same. Now, when disciples from various branches of Wang Hai Pai see them, they no longer lower their heads and eyes, but instead look at them with disdain.

  This is not all, now a relic of the ancient times has appeared, almost all branches and disciples are excitedly heading to the Great Plains to search for treasures, their excitement is even greater than during the New Year, while the Sword Pavilion disciples have always been responsible for guarding the Wanjia Pavilion, in this special period, they need to strengthen their guard even more, so one-third of the Sword Pavilion disciples were left behind to watch over the gate, and cannot head to the Great Plains.

  These two are the unlucky ones among them.

  "Let you all die in the fog." The two disciples looked towards the direction of the vast plain and said with resentment.

  Not mentioning the disciples of the gatekeeper, let's talk about Ye Feng and his two companions.

  Riding on the back of a crane, it's quite relaxing and comfortable. Flying with a sword requires infusing spiritual energy into the flying sword, and when the spiritual energy is depleted to a certain extent, one has no choice but to stop and rest to replenish their spiritual energy.

  But riding a crane is completely different, as long as the crystal stone is placed in the crane's mouth, the crane has the power to fly, Ye Feng is not short of crystal stones now, and he doesn't care about this little consumption.

  Moreover, the benefits of riding a crane are not limited to this. It's fast and more comfortable to sit on, unlike flying with a sword which requires standing on the flying sword and is very tiring.

  The height of the flying crane is higher than that of the flying sword, which can avoid the low-flying cultivators and reduce a lot of trouble.

  In recent days, many monks have died in dogfights due to low-flying and disputes over various reasons while airborne, resulting in many people losing their lives without even catching a glimpse of the ancient relic.

  Riding on the immortal crane, Ye Feng's beauty is beyond mention.

  It is unknown whether Zhen Xuetian did it on purpose or not, at the beginning, Mei Zhiyao was sitting in the front, Zhen Xuetian was in the middle, and Ye Feng was behind.

  Later, Zhen Xue Tian suggested changing positions and came directly behind Ye Feng. This way, Mei Zhi Ruo was in the front, Ye Feng was in the middle, and Zhen Xue Tian tightly hugged Ye Feng's waist from behind.

  Xue Tian hugged Ye Feng and reminded him, "Brother-in-law, you'd better hold Brow Master Sister tightly, or she'll fall off."

  Ye Feng really listened and wrapped his arms around Mei Qi Ru's waist, holding her in his embrace.

  A strong masculine aura penetrated deeply into Mei Zhi Ruo's mind, nearly twenty years of guarding her chastity like jade, she had never been touched by any man before, let alone such an ambiguous posture, Mei Zhi Ruo's face turned red, even her breathing was no longer smooth, becoming urgent.

  And Ye Feng, this shameless guy, actually had a shameless reaction in such a posture.

  It's actually no wonder that Ye Feng reacted this way. Any man would have a normal reaction in such a situation, and it would be extremely abnormal if he didn't react at all.

  Don't look at Ye Feng's young body, but the soul of Ye Feng has also been through countless life action scenes in the island country back then, deeply poisoned by Professor Jing Kong and Sister Teng Lan. He just suffered from not having the chance to practice it in real life, as for theoretical experience, that was a four-year undergraduate level.

  Before long, Mei Zhi seemed to feel some changes in Ye Feng's body behind her that shouldn't be there, and her face felt even hotter.

  "Mei Shijie, what's wrong with you? Your body is so hot." Ye Feng asked shamelessly.

  Mei Zhi almost tumbled off Xian He's back.

  Frightened, Ye Feng's hands grasped tightly, and what he touched was two soft mounds.

  "Hum!" Mei Zhi felt a wave of dizziness on her forehead, and her body became even softer and more powerless.

  Ye Feng was delighted to indulge, seeing Mei Zhi Ruo hadn't pushed away his hands, he pretended not to notice that he had hugged the wrong spot, and from time to time, it seemed like he was exercising his fingers, gently stroking her there a few times.

  Mei Zhi Ruo had already become disoriented and forgotten that she was in mid-air, forgetting the purpose of her journey.
