Chapter 476
“In such a short period of time, he broke through to the 6th level of the Martial Disciple realm. Ye Feng, you did not disappoint me. Very good.”
“Thank you,” Ye Ci replied with a smile.
Just now, Gu Shenwei had given him a Qi Setting Pill, which had helped a lot.
Even if the other party was going to harm him in the future, it wouldn’t be a big deal if he thanked him now.
“But …”
Gu Shenwei paused slightly, the look in his eyes gradually turning cold. He stared at the opponent.
“Now, you have made me more certain that you, Ye Feng, must have used some method to absorb the soul of a real person, didn’t you …”
If Ye Feng did not rely on the Soul Perception and only used the pill to make a breakthrough, then he would have only raised his cultivation level by one level when he was a Middle Martial Disciple. Continuously breaking through was really strange.
“Is there a basis?”
Hearing that, Ye Feng was stunned, then chuckled softly.
“If there’s no basis, then this statement is a bit too much. I, Ye Feng, am merely a martial arts student. What virtue or ability do you have? How could I have the opportunity to counter the soul consciousness of a real person?”
Gu Shenwei’s eyes flashed with light, “Hmph, Ye Feng, stop acting like this. I advise you to be honest. You have to know that I’ve given you the ‘Breath Setting Pill’ just now …”
Ye Feng smiled calmly, “The Calming Flower and the White Tea Leaf are the raw materials to make the confessing agent.”
“What, you can still tell …”
Gu Shenwei was startled upon hearing this. Ye Feng’s condition just now was incredibly poor and he almost fainted. Even under these circumstances, he could still distinguish some of the ingredients in this pill.
What he did not know was that the low-grade medicine ingredients used by a Martial Disciple were the basic knowledge in alchemy. It was almost impossible for an outsider to fool Ye Wen in alchemy.
“Not only to distinguish the effects of the Spirit Calming Flower, the effects of the Spirit Calming Flower can be canceled out with the Wind Stimulating Fruit in the Qi Nurturing Pill, and the effects of the Black White Leaf can be canceled out with the Great Void Grass in the Soul Nurturing Pill. I also have these two pills, so I don’t even need to concoct the antidote to cure them. Do you think that you can use this confessing agent to threaten me …?”
As Ye Feng spoke, he took out the two pills from the magic crystal ring and threw them into his mouth.
Shortly after, his expression changed, and it took him a while to regain his calm.
“Alright, the poison of the confession drug has been eliminated. This thing should be quite common in the Spiritual Martial Force.”
For an organization that often interrogated prisoners, confessions were necessary. It could be said that it was necessary to travel around the country and kill people for their goods.
“You …”
Gu Shenwei froze for a moment, then smiled and said,
“Okay, Ye Feng, I admit that I underestimated you.”
He took a deep breath and solemnly looked at Gu Shenwei, continuing, “Introduce yourself, I’m Gu Shenwei. I’m an emissary from the Spirit Martial Sect, and I’m also one of the collaborators of this time’s capture of the Sky Prison. There’s no conflict of interest with you, you don’t want to say anything about the six Spiritual Masters’ spiritual will, and I won’t pursue this matter further, but there’s one thing …”
He introduced himself in such a serious manner. In the end, it was also because he acknowledged Ye Feng. If he was a normal disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, he wouldn’t even look him in the eye.
“Oh, what do you want to say?”
Hearing this, Ye Feng was slightly surprised and looked at him with interest.
Logically speaking, after a person had been challenged by him, he should have been angry. However, the other person was extremely calm and quickly admitted his mistakes.
This made Ye Feng have a good impression of him.
Gu Shenwei said firmly, “This time, I want to pick a few capable disciples from the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Can you help me talk to the other disciples and recommend some of their disciples to come up?”
He did not expect Ye Feng to have connections to the Master, so he started from the real person.
A light flashed across Ye Wen’s eyes, “You mean …. “Do you want me to recommend those disciples to come here to die?”
Gu Shenwei stared at him and said with a smile,
“Don’t make it sound like that. The greater the risk, the greater the reward, and under great publicity, there will always be some disciples who want to take a step into the sky that will be interested in it. Aren’t you, Ye Feng, one of them?
“Ugh …”
Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then paced back and forth.
The demon fox took half a step forward, her beautiful eyes filled with suspicion. “Ye Feng, you really must consider listening to him.”
Han Yue also coldly stared at Gu Shenwei, a trace of ill intent in her eyes.
“Don’t listen to him. He just poisoned the Vital Qi Pill. It is obvious that his words are unreliable. The death rate in the Spirit Martial Sect is very high. If you take over this matter, there will be many enemies in the future.”
Ye Feng thought for a moment and said,
“… “No, I’ve decided. Gu Shenwei, we can work together, but we have to set the price clearly. Every disciple I introduce, how much benefit will you give me?”
Demon fox: “…”
Hanyue: “…”
Gu Shenwei was speechless.
From Gu Shenwei’s point of view, someone like Ye Feng, who sold off his own brothers and sisters in turn, was someone that could happen even after more than ten years.
Gu Shenwei’s mouth twitched. Since this was his first time encountering such a thing, he didn’t know how to answer, “Then, 800 gold coins each …”
“No, you think too little of human life, at least one thousand and three hundred gold coins,” Ye Feng solemnly replied.
Gu Shenwei almost suffocated to death. Ye Feng kept saying that he thought too little of human lives, but he didn’t think much of human lives either.
“Hey, Ye Feng, you need to get to the bottom of this. At most, you’re just an introducer.”
Ye Feng’s voice was as calm as the waves, and his expression was cold.
“1400 gold coins…”
Gu Shenwei’s expression gradually changed. “I’ll say it again. I just want them to join the Spirit Martial Sect to capture fugitives. I’m not really sending them to their deaths.”
“Fifteen hundred gold coins…”
Gu Shenwei took a deep breath and said,
“I understand. Ye Feng, you’ve made up your mind. Even if you die, you’ll have to earn enough money for the rest of your life, right…”
Ye Feng smiled, “Sixteen hundred gold coins … …” “Demon fox, Han Yue, let’s go!”
As the sound of his voice faded, he kept the pill furnace and turned to leave.
The demon fox and Han Yue looked at each other and giggled softly. Hearing what was said, they also followed.
“Wait a moment.”
Gu Shenwei’s expression changed slightly. He stretched out his smooth and exquisite hands and grabbed the front of Ye Feng’s clothes.
“Young Master Gu, you’ve made up your mind.”
Gu Shenwei pondered for a moment, and after a long while, he finally opened his mouth.
“That’s right. According to what you said at the start, if the quality of the students you have introduced is satisfactory to me, then at thirteen hundred gold coins each, I will lose all of them…”
“Ugh …”
Ye Feng frowned slightly, feeling troubled. He pinched his fingers and did the math, but would occasionally shake his head. It felt like he had suffered some great loss.
“Fine, 1300 gold coins. I, Ye Feng, will take it as you making a friend like you.”
He laughed loudly and raised his big hand, wanting to punch his opponent in the chest.
However, Gu Shenwei’s expression was shocked, as if he had met a great enemy. He hurriedly retreated a few steps, barely dodging the thumping action. He glared coldly at Ye Feng, as if he was trying to devour him.
After a while, his clearly panicked eyes returned to normal.
“I’m just expressing my friendliness. Why did you run so far away?” Ye Feng momentarily blanked, while a hint of confusion appeared on his face.
Gu Shenwei bit his lips, his eyes seeming to burn.
He paused for a moment. “Hey, you … “Just a mere Martial Disciple, do you still have any respect in your eyes? Don’t you know who I am? And yet, you still dare to put your arms around my shoulders and ask me to recommend some disciples of other realms? Just do as I say.
He knew that Ye Zifeng had a good relationship with Elder Zhao and Gu Yuan Wu, so he hoped that Ye Feng could use their relationship to help him find suitable candidates.
After all, he didn’t have many connections in the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
Ye Feng laughed and nodded, “Alright, alright, alright. Then, I’ll recommend my disciple to you. This shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“Of course not…”
Gu Shenwei had only said half of what he wanted to say, when he suddenly froze on the spot like a bolt of lightning.
“Wait, what did you say just now? Bring your disciple here.”
Ye Feng smiled and said.
“Oh, I thought you heard about it when you were with Master Wang Rui. Did he … didn’t he tell you?”
Gu Shenwei blankly stared at him. “What?”
Ye Feng looked at him solemnly. “Once I break through to the 6th level of the Martial Disciple realm, not only will I have the right to participate in the event at the Spirit Martial Sect, but more importantly, I, Ye Feng, will become the youngest Daoist Master since the founding of the Celestial Sect.”
… ….
In the middle of the night, in the Guest Hall.
At this time, Wang Rui and the other High Scholars were giving each of the six Spiritual Masters a portion of their true essence power, helping them consolidate their cultivation.
“Achoo!”
Wang Rui involuntarily sneezed, and his body shivered.
“Master Wang, we’ve expended a lot of energy in the previous battle for the Successor Disciple. We went to the Spirit Jade Inn tonight and caught a cold. Why don’t you leave this to me, Old Ren, and go back to rest?” Ren Xingtian laughed heartily as he waved his hand.
“Spirit Jade Inn …”
When Ren Xingtian mentioned this word, Wang Rui couldn’t help but let out a knowing smile.
Although he had been caught twice consecutively, making him feel very awkward, he secretly felt happy when he saw that Ye Feng did not make any progress on the matter of breaking through, and was addicted to the gentleness of a woman.
He smiled indifferently and said in a low voice, “Ye Feng, since you gave up on yourself and did not want to break through, don’t blame me for being heartless. Three days have passed, let’s see how I will drive you out of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.”
