Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Visit to Nishang Palace, Guidance (Third Update)
Qiao Jiaxi was shocked to his core.
The book in front of him looked very new, and the ink on it was still fresh, as if it had been written in recent days.
Moreover, these were Ye Feng’s handwriting.
“Sect Master, how… how do you have the complete version of the War General chapter?” Qiao Jiaxi picked up the ancient book, flipped through it for a while, and became increasingly astonished.
He hadn’t yet handed the incomplete cultivation technique to Ye Feng, and the other party had already deduced it?
Was this some sort of prophetic ability?
Qiao Jiaxi was even more shocked.
“In this world, there is nothing that this Sect Master cannot do. Some things that seem incredible should not surprise you, but rather be calmly accepted,” Ye Feng bluffed with a deadpan expression.
Qiao Jiaxi took it for the truth.
He accepted the ancient book, saying, “Sect Master, once I have memorized the technique, I will return this book to you.”
“No need to return it, this is for you,” Ye Feng said.
He had written two copies, one of which was given to Ji Ziling to be placed in the Scripture Pavilion.
Later on, when he had nothing else to do, he wrote another copy and personally handed it to Qiao Jiaxi to keep forever.
“Thank you, Sect Master!” Qiao Jiaxi was very grateful, took the cultivation technique, walked to the edge of the cliff, and started to read seriously.
Finding several spells similar to the “Sword of Qi and Blood” inside, Qiao Jiaxi was overjoyed.
“With these, my fighting won’t have to be so monotonous anymore.”
Qiao Jiaxi muttered to himself.
Without spells like “Sword of Qi and Blood,” when he battled others, he could only rely on his strong physique to charge and crash through.
It looked exhilarating, but it was actually exhausting.
Moreover, he couldn’t perform area attacks.
Over time, this would become a disadvantage.
But now, with several spells similar to the “Sword of Qi and Blood,” he could compensate for his weaknesses.
Atop Misty Peak, disciples continued to diligently practice their cultivation.
Some second-generation disciples had completed new tasks and broken through to the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement, successfully advancing to Outer Sect Disciples.
The assessments for Inner Sect Disciples were going slower.
So far, no new recruit had become a part of the Inner Sect.
As for the most difficult True Disciple assessment, at this stage, only Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie in the entire Misty Sect had hopes of passing all the assessments.
“The pace is still a bit slow,” Ye Feng said as he turned over to lie in a more comfortable position.
Dong!
The sound of the Summoning Bell came from the foot of the mountain.
Ye Feng raised his eyebrows and, with a wave of his hand, Fox Da Hong hurriedly dashed down the mountain with a drumstick in his mouth and after a short while, brought back a middle-aged beauty in a red dress with a graceful figure.
“Eh, Nishang Palace Master, what brings you here?” Ye Feng said, looking at the woman with surprise.
“Sect Master Ye really has a short memory. I told you a long time ago that I wanted to invite you to our Nishang Palace to give guidance to the disciples under my command, but who knew, after all this time, you still haven’t visited once, which is truly heartbreaking,” the Nishang Palace Master sat beside Ye Feng, her smile charming as she gazed intently at him.
“If she weren’t a bit older, this Nishang Palace Master would be quite a catch!” Ye Feng sized her up, finding the woman to be first-rate in appearance, temperament, and figure, and couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
“Sect Master Ye, Sect Master Ye?”
Noticing that Ye Feng was continuously staring, the Nishang Palace Master waved her hand in front of him.
“Ah, I was so sleepy just now, I got lost in thought,” Ye Feng hastened to speak, covering up his embarrassment.
“So, is Sect Master Ye available to honor our Nishang Palace with a visit and provide guidance to this Palace Master’s unruly disciples?”
“Sure, I can,” Ye Feng felt that with nothing else to do, going out to enjoy the sights (and beauties) was not a bad choice.
Whoosh!
Both of them walked on air and landed in the western part of the old district, which was once the West City District of Whitefloat City, standing before an ancient palace with pink walls and red tiles.
This place is none other than Nishang Palace.
“Sect Master Ye, welcome!”
All the elders, stewardesses, and female disciples of Nishang Palace were standing on both sides. Seeing Ye Feng and the charming Nishang Palace Master arrive, they hurriedly bowed to pay their respects.
At this moment, Ye Feng felt as if he had stepped into a sea of flowers.
He kept his gaze straight ahead, but the corner of his eye still caught sight of those young female disciples with fair skin, beautiful features, and long legs.
“No wonder so many people are desperate to become a kitchen worker at Nishang Palace—it’s all to sneak a peek at the beauties here!”
Ye Feng realized with clarity.
Not long after, in the main hall of Nishang Palace.
Ye Feng looked at the long line of over a hundred young and beautiful female disciples standing before him and said, “Don’t rush, line up properly, one by one.”
Since he had previously promised the Nishang Palace Master that he would personally give guidance to all the disciples of Nishang Palace, Ye Feng naturally couldn’t go back on his word.
“Sect Master Ye, I am the eldest disciple of Nishang Palace, Xu Yunbing. My cultivation level is the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement, and my measurements and weight are…” A young woman in a red dress stood in front of Ye Feng, her face blushing and visibly excited.
“No need to introduce yourself, just tell me what problems you have encountered,” Ye Feng coughed and waved his hand, interrupting her.
“I have encountered a very thorny problem, which is, standing before me is a handsome and extraordinary young man, but I don’t know if he likes me or not,” Xu Yunbing said with emotion.
Ye Feng’s face turned red.
This handsome and extraordinary young man, isn’t that me?
The Nishang Palace Master gave Xu Yunbing a sidelong glance and scolded angrily, “You unruly disciple, what are you talking about? I invited Sect Master Ye here to advise you on issues with cultivation and spells, not to indulge in romantic talk!”
There was something she didn’t say:
Even if it were about love, it should be this palace master and Sect Master Ye that should be talking, not you, little sister. Get in line!
“Oh, my apologies, I misspoke,” Xu Yunbing bit her lip lightly and said, “I’ve recently hit a bottleneck at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement, and at the same time, I’m having the following problems when practicing the spell ‘Fluttering Flowers and Flying Sleeves’…”
As a true great master of magic, Ye Feng knew a lot.
This First Grade Spell ‘Fluttering Flowers and Flying Sleeves’ was also kept in the Scripture Pavilion of Misty Sect, and Ye Feng had long understood all the spells stored there.
As for the process, it naturally involved spending gold.
“This spell requires a kind of gentle strength, transforming the breath to become long and enduring, so that you can achieve a breakthrough…” Ye Feng began to explain.
In no time at all, Xu Yunbing had an epiphany and, delighted, she lunged towards Ye Feng, nearly hugging him.
“Humph, you dare to take liberties with Sect Master Ye, I punish you to face the wall for three days!” The Nishang Palace Master grabbed Xu Yunbing by the arm and tossed her aside.
Ye Feng sat in his chair, unmoved.
“So frustrating, just a bit more and I would’ve been hugged!”
Ye Feng appeared calm and dignified on the outside but felt quite frustrated inside.
It’s just a thankful hug from Xu Yunbing, what’s it to you, Nishang Palace Master? Why did you drag her away?
Ye Feng felt aggrieved within his heart.
However, as the respected Sect Master of Misty Sect, he could only deal with the situation calmly, though his heart felt an immense sense of loss.
Afterward, one disciple after another from Nishang Palace came up to consult him on their problems, all of which Ye Feng easily pointed out the key issues.
“Sect Master Ye, could you take my pulse?” another female disciple came up and asked.
“Men and women should not touch each other!” The Nishang Palace Master snatched the girl by her collar and dragged her away.
Ye Feng sat in his seat, feeling incredibly frustrated.
High above in the sky.
A man in a blood-red robe with hands clasped behind his back stood atop a white crocodile skull, gliding through the air and landing in front of the gate of Nishang Palace.
After scanning his surroundings, the man sneered, “This should be the place. Who knows how this branch has developed over the years, whether it can produce enough quality furnace cauldrons for me.”
With that, he walked into Nishang Palace.
“I am Wu Wukai, elder of Blood Demon Hall’s branch. Who is the current Palace Master of Nishang Palace? Come out and see me!”
Wu Wukai revealed an ancient red order, and an Element Gathering Realm fifth layer aura spread out like a storm, enveloping the entire Nishang Palace in an instant.
Aside from Ye Feng, everyone else felt a heavy weight descend upon them, as if carrying two large mountains on their shoulders, and they turned to look at Wu Wukai with fluctuating expressions.
