Under the gaze of shock, admiration, envy and hatred from the disciples at the mountain gate, Ye Feng swaggered into the hidden mountain gate.

  "Big brother, I'm not seeing things wrong, is this really that waste?" One of the disciples seemed to be disbelieving his own eyes.

  "This is evil, just now this little guy's riding treasure is even more powerful than the flying sword of our uncle master in the refining period." Another disciple said.

  Ye Feng had just left the mountain gate when several people rushed in from outside.

  One of the formal disciples of Jian Ge is Gao Binbo.

  "Two senior brothers, wasn't the one who just went in that useless Ye Feng?" Ge Binbo asked with a puzzled face to the two disciples guarding the mountain gate.

  "Alas, don't mention it, that waste of a body is now a big shot, riding on a flying crane. If not for the Mountain Protection Grand Array, he might have flown directly to the Spiritual Beast Peak."

  "If it's him, then it seems we didn't misjudge earlier." Ge Binbo said, turning his head to one of the disciples.

  That disciple was also dressed in the standard attire of a Sword Pavilion disciple, with a gloomy face, as if someone owed him dozens of pure crystal stones. "Hmph! Consider yourself lucky."

  "Brother Ge, something's not right. How did that madman get such a powerful treasure?" Liang Hua said with a flattering expression, clearly the lowest in status among everyone present.

  "Even the most powerful magic treasure cannot save a useless body's life." Ge Bo's eyes radiated a wolf-like glow, as if he was about to devour someone, and it sent chills down Liang Hua's spine.

  Ye Feng Long strode back to his humble abode with a majestic gait.

  Life is full of twists and turns.

  As soon as he arrived at Wang Hai Pai, entering this low hut seemed to mean that Ye Feng's life had a fixed number, feeding pigs.

  In just a few dozen days, with a large amount of crystal stones in hand, he established a good cooperative relationship with the Appraisal Pavilion. Although it was not enough to support Ye Feng's impact on the ultimate high-level realm, it could completely guarantee that Ye Feng would no longer have any worries or ups and downs during the Qi-refining period. Only someone like Ye Feng, who had transcended from another world, could handle such a situation correctly; if it were someone else, especially a 15-year-old child, they wouldn't be able to accept this kind of thing.

  Calm your mind and regulate your breathing smoothly.

  Soon, Ye Feng was neither happy nor sad, with nothing on his body.

  When leaving the Spiritual Beast Peak, Ye Feng felt a commotion in his body, with the spiritual energy inside him fluctuating repeatedly, as if it was about to burst out. Although this was his first time having such a feeling, he clearly knew that this was a sign of impending Qi gathering.

  At that time, Ye Feng didn't have enough crystal stones in his hand. Even if the spiritual energy accumulated in his body was sufficient, it would still be impossible to successfully gather the spiritual energy.

  This time back from the village, a handful of crystal stones is the strongest backing, no longer hesitant, immediately take out the crystal stones and place them around, sit cross-legged, and merge with the heaven and earth.

  The spiritual energy of heaven and earth flows slowly along a faintly visible trajectory, heading straight for Ye Feng.

  Around him, a spiritual vortex quickly formed, and Ye Feng, who was at the center of the vortex, frantically absorbed the spiritual energy, with the vortex madly following in its wake.

  At this time, Ye Feng was moved by the spiritual vortex, and his body suddenly became extremely light, leaving the ground, suspended in mid-air one meter above the ground.

  A wave of pain shoots through my skeleton, as if I'm being reforged in a furnace, emitting a clanking sound.

  The skin is like an inflated balloon, bulging and swollen.

  When his physical endurance reached a critical point, Ye Feng waved his hands and grabbed the crystal stones beside him.

  A large number of crystal stones changed color at a rapid speed, the middle-grade crystal stone was as white as jade, and after Ye Feng absorbed its energy, it quickly turned into a dark gray color.

  Throw away the crystal stone in your hand and become a waste product, pick up another handful of crystal stones.

  A pile of crystal stones like small pebbles were scattered on the ground under Ye Feng's body.

  It is unknown how many crystal stones were used, but Ye Feng finally controlled the turbulent and restless spiritual energy fluctuations in his body, absorbing all the spiritual energy into the meridians of his body, flowing slowly along the meridians.

  It circulated back and forth, unknowingly flowing through Lie Feng's body for countless cycles before gathering in his lower abdomen.

  The spiritual energy that had been flowing in the meridians seemed to have found its final destination, all surging towards Ye Feng's lower abdomen.

  Soon, Ye Feng discovered that a balloon-like object appeared in his lower abdomen. No matter how much spiritual energy came, it would be absorbed by the balloon, and the balloon wouldn't explode either.

  After a squeeze, the volume of the balloon slowly decreases, compressing the spiritual energy inside together.

  A sharp pain shot through his lower abdomen, Ye Feng gritted his teeth and endured it with all his might. He knew this was the most critical moment for gathering Qi. If he succeeded, he would be able to gather Qi; if he failed, not only would all his previous efforts be wasted, but his lower Dantian would also be ruined, and he would completely lose the possibility of gathering Qi from then on.

  At this time, it's all up to one's own willpower; no one can help in any way.

  Sweat as big as beans dripped from Ye Feng's forehead, and the pain in his body made Ye Feng's mind much clearer.

  He took a few deep breaths of air, and the fresh air made him feel much more comfortable.

  It's just a little pain, I can bear it.

  "Ah!" A clear and pleasant voice echoed beside Ye Feng's ear.

  After severe abdominal pain, there was an unprecedented comfort, and a ball-like gas mass the size of a watermelon appeared in Ye Feng's lower abdomen.

  "Ah!" Ye Feng let out a loud roar, jumping up from the ground, causing the dust on the roof to fly about. The mischievous body in the opposite room shook, what was this guy doing?

  Not bad, the feeling of successfully gathering energy is so refreshing. No wonder people say that the first time will be very painful, but after the pain, it's extremely comfortable. Indeed, it's true.

  At this time, Ye Feng felt that the spiritual energy in his body was flowing happily and was full of power. Compared to before, his fists were even more powerful.

  Even his body felt much lighter.

  "Yefeng, the elder is calling you."

  The sound of children's voices came from outside.

  Ye Feng followed closely behind Xiao Tongzi and arrived at Sun Qi's place.

  "Elder, you called for me." Ye Feng bowed to Sun Qi.

  "Ye Feng, not bad, you've successfully gathered your energy." Sun Qi said with a smile.

  "This is all thanks to the elder's guidance." Ye Feng thought to himself, Ling Shou Peak was indeed their territory, and every move he made was being watched by Sun Qi. If he wanted to make any small moves, it would be hard to escape Sun Qi's eyes.

  "From now on, you can be considered a formal disciple of the Wanghai Sect. I hope you will remain humble and continue to work hard, striving to reach even higher levels." Sun Qi's words were polite, but his eyes betrayed a hint of regret. This diligent young man would have to stop at gathering energy, at most becoming an Energy Refining cultivator.

  Although becoming a Qi-refining disciple would bring better treatment, it wouldn't be considered top-notch; in the Wanghai Sect, the treatment is only slightly better than that of an ordinary disciple.

  "The disciples will definitely remember the elder's teachings." Ye Feng is not a fool, how can he not see Sun Qi's meaning? Anyway, he won't rely on Wang Haipai now, and it's still possible to say some superficial words.

  "This time you went down the mountain to Fang City, and your harvest is quite rich." Sun Qiyue was hinting at something, Ye Feng had only been gone for four days before returning, and he even brought back enough crystal stones to successfully gather his energy, which meant that Ye Feng's trip must have yielded some astonishing gains.

  "It's true, my disciple sold the talisman paper to Jianbao Pavilion and obtained enough crystal stones, which is why he was able to gather his energy successfully." Ye Feng thought that since his actions on Ling Shou Peak couldn't avoid Sun Qi's eyes anyway, it wouldn't hurt to reveal a bit more, especially since this was a reasonable explanation.

  "Oh? What kind of talisman paper did you give to the Appraisal Pavilion, that they would be willing to give you so many crystal stones?" Sun Qi was quite surprised, thinking that Ye Feng wouldn't tell the truth. In that case, even if Sun Qi were a senior elder, there's nothing he could do about it. The crystal stones were earned by the other party through their own abilities, and no one could force them to hand them over.

  "Disciple gave Qianbao Pavilion one hundred stealth talismans, they gave me ten thousand mid-grade crystal stones." Ye Feng's words were false, the one hundred stealth talismans were true, but the number of crystal stones was more than five times that.

  "What? One hundred Stealth Talismans." Sun Qi was shocked. What were Stealth Talismans? The legendary talisman papers, not even Sun Qi had seen them before.

  "Jianbao Pavilion, in order to cooperate with the disciples for a long time, also gave the disciples a magical treasure as their means of transportation." Ye Feng said, bringing out the small immortal crane, this magical treasure is impossible to hide, it's better to tell Sun Qi together.

  "Yefeng, I'm glad you were able to obtain the crystal you lacked. I thought I'd support you, but don't forget about your main priority. After all, you're a disciple of Ling Shou Peak, and everything should be centered around it." Sun Qi reminded Yefeng of his current identity, not to forget his roots now that he had gained some abilities.

  "I understand." Ye Feng showed great respect, but in his heart he was extremely disdainful. When he didn't have crystal stones, why didn't they consider him a disciple of Ling Shou Peak? Now that he could earn crystal stones, they wanted to consider him a disciple? What nonsense.

  "When you're giving Sealing Pavilion the talismans, if you have some free time, why not draw some of the talismans that we use on Spiritual Beast Peak? This way, one, you'll be making a contribution to Spiritual Beast Peak, and two, it'll also shut some people up. Of course, Spiritual Beast Peak won't treat you unfairly either." Sun Qi said with a smile.

  Now, let's get to the point, Ye Feng thought to himself. I'm not afraid that you won't reveal your true intentions. You just want some talismans, don't you?

  He knew that the people in Lianqidang had always been arrogant, and Sun Qi was very respectful of Lianqidang on the surface, but actually hated Lianqidang in his heart.

  Now he found himself able to draw talismans on paper, this free labor, how could Sun Qi let it go?

  "Elder, you're saying this is really embarrassing for me. As a member of the Spiritual Beast Peak, it's only natural to contribute to its development. As long as I can create talismans with my brushwork, and the peak needs them, I will do my best without any hesitation or second thoughts."

  Since you can't resist, might as well make it look good.

  "Good, you're indeed a worthy disciple of Ling Shou Peak. Your sect won't let your contributions go to waste." Sun Qi also saved face.

  Old fox, Ye Feng sighed.

  For the sake of Hei Hu Quan.
