Chapter 546: Chapter 546: The Sly Thoughts of the Soul-Devouring Clan, The Smile Gradually Becomes Twisted
Wang Xuanping returned to her room.
After activating the formation, she slapped the desk to pieces, venting the fury inside her heart before she opened the document to look at its content.
A moment later.
Wang Xuanping cursed loudly.
“Damn it, how dare you make me do these tasks!”
The tasks on the document were quite peculiar.
Although they weren’t as exaggerated as hauling manure, milking cows, or picking up eggs, they were very time-consuming.
For example:
Helping Eldest Senior Brother Shi Lei move three million blue bricks.
Firing one million bricks.
Planting thirty thousand spiritual medicines.
Tilling the soil for the Spiritual Medicine Field.
Fighting with Brother Flathead (optional).
…
“To think that I, a dignified high-rank cultivator, should be doing these tasks! Ha!”
Wang Xuanping paced back and forth in her room.
Ultimately, for the sake of the mission, she still had no choice but to head to the ruins of Shuiyang City, thousands of miles away.
Time has changed.
What was once ruins had now, under the transformation of architect Shi Lei, become an expanse of medicinal fields spanning miles.
Ye Feng had visited a few times in the recent past.
He used the power of heaven and earth accumulated from the Wind Spirit Pearl to transform the area, creating three minor spirit veins at the center of the medicinal fields.
This quantity of spiritual energy was enough to maintain the operation of the medicinal fields.
Wang Xuanping stood high in the sky, looking down below.
The medicinal fields were at the center, stretching for miles, surrounded by a circle of gigantic brick walls still under construction.
“No wonder so many blue bricks are needed.”
Wang Xuanping understood.
She landed on the ground and saw Shi Lei, who was directing a large group of second-generation disciples, and bowed:
“Eldest Senior Brother, I’m here to move bricks.”
Despite her reluctance, she still said it.
“Junior Brother, it’s great that you can come to help!”
Shi Lei was overjoyed, he flipped through the document Wang Xuanping handed over, nodded, and pointed to a brick kiln in the distance.
“Go there to dig soil and fire bricks.”
“Alright.”
Wang Xuanping appeared submissive, but she was cursing inwardly.
As a cultivator, she didn’t need to get her hands dirty, she could simply use spells to control various tools to fire the bricks.
With this method, two to three hundred thousand bricks a day was not a problem.
Although she was fast, Wang Xuanping was not happy.
She always felt she was wasting time.
If things went on like this, she would find out nothing.
Atop Misty Peak.
Ye Feng watched Wang Xuanping, who was firing and moving bricks or building the walls of the medicinal fields, and secretly laughed.
“This person comes from the Soul-Devouring Clan, how shall I learn more about her?”
He wanted to divine right then.
But if the Soul-Devouring Clan noticed during the divining process, that wouldn’t be good.
“Enough, what’s there to fear, if I encounter an unsolvable issue, I’ll just ask Yuzhu for help. Yuzhu is the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint’s last disciple, with a Saint backing me up, the Soul-Devouring Clan will surely be afraid.”
With that thought, Ye Feng began his divination.
As he made hand seals, the Heart of Wisdom was immediately activated.
In mid-air.
A strand of Wang Xuanping’s hair floated.
This was something Ye Feng had specially taken, unbeknownst to anyone.
As the divination progressed, this strand of hair underwent strange changes, turning into mist, twisting continuously.
Whoosh!
Odd splashing sounds began to emerge.
Ye Feng saw strange images appear within the mist—it was a dilapidated temple in Zhongyuan City.
In the darkness.
An eerie figure stretched out a pale hand, and a woman’s voice instructed Wang Xuanping.
But due to the passage of time, Ye Feng couldn’t hear it very clearly.
After some time, Wang Xuanping left.
In the scene, the voice of the mysterious woman gradually became clear, and Ye Feng finally could hear it distinctly.
“At last, an undercover has been placed within Misty Sect. With this, we can properly inquire into the relationship between Misty Sect and Emperor Beihe.”
“If everything goes smoothly, we will be able to find a method to counter ‘Seven Steps to Heaven’ and achieve a great feat for our Soul-Devouring Clan.”
Hearing this, Ye Feng frowned.
So, the Soul-Devouring Clan wanted to uncover this secret.
However, countering ‘Seven Steps to Heaven’ was not easy; Ye Feng had once calculated that this divine skill could lock onto the soul of the enemy, making it impossible to evade.
The only way to counter it was to withstand it directly.
A moment later, Ye Feng continued his deductions.
Not until he saw the scene of a mysterious woman capturing Wang Xuanping’s body on the street did he have a sudden realization.
“So it turns out, Wang Xuanping has a woman’s soul in a man’s body! I understand now, I know how to disgust her.”
A twisted smile gradually spread across Ye Feng’s face.
With just a single strand of hair, he couldn’t deduce more information, but Ye Feng already knew the purpose of the Soul-Devouring Clan’s undercover operation, as well as the other’s origin.
Dealing with this person was about to get much more interesting.
“A woman, yet occupying a man’s body,” Ye Feng laughed heartily, “Next, let’s see how I play you!”
…
Shuiyang City’s Spiritual Medicine Field.
In just seven days, Wang Xuanping had burned a million bricks, planted countless spiritual medicines, and single-handedly built a large section of brick wall five meters thick and ten meters tall, which was extremely exhausting.
“This really isn’t a job for humans!”
Wang Xuanping muttered under her breath.
If it weren’t for the grand cause of the Soul-Devouring Clan, she wouldn’t have demeaned herself to work here.
“Junior Brother Wang, you have a new mission.”
At that moment, Shi Lei landed behind Wang Xuanping, scaring her nearly out of her skin, and she quickly bowed her head to mask the startled look in her eyes.
“Eldest Senior Brother, what new mission do I have?”
Wang Xuanping hurriedly asked, her voice steady.
“You just need to do as it says on here, and once you finish the mission, you will definitely gain the favor of Sect Master Uncle,” Shi Lei patted Wang Xuanping on the shoulder.
Looking at Shi Lei’s hand, a hint of disgust flashed in the depths of Wang Xuanping’s eyes.
Even though her body had been taken over by a male, her soul was still female.
Being touched by another man naturally irked her.
She took the document given by Shi Lei and walked to a secluded corner to slowly open it.
“Dammit!”
Upon seeing the mission detailed in the document, Wang Xuanping nearly exploded with fury.
Collect fecal matter, unclog sewers, care for sows after giving birth, help change the diapers of children in the Whitefloat City orphanage.
The most outrageous part was that she had to assist sows in mating!
“What kind of absurd tasks are these?”
Wang Xuanping’s composure shattered.
Just as she was about to tear the document to pieces, her gaze sharpened as she noticed Ye Feng appearing in the medicine field, walking by himself.
“Ye Feng!”
Wang Xuanping’s eyes lit up.
If it had been before the Royal Capital battle, she would not have dared approach Ye Feng, as he had the terrifying power to crush a Peak Void Break Realm practitioner with one foot. But now, Ye Feng had lost all his cultivation, and alone, he presented the perfect opportunity for her to get close.
Whoosh!
Wang Xuanping picked up a hoe and some medicinal plant seedlings, pretending to go plant them, orchestrating a “chance encounter” with Ye Feng.
But what she didn’t know was that this “chance encounter” was actually deliberately arranged by Ye Feng.
“Planting medicinal herbs?”
Ye Feng, seeing Wang Xuanping approaching, smiled faintly.
“Greetings, Sect Leader!”
Wang Xuanping, looking at Ye Feng, took the initiative to approach him, “Disciple is planting medicinal herbs. But just now, I received a new assignment from Eldest Senior Brother, and I am preparing to complete it.”
She quickly handed over the mission statement to Ye Feng.
“These tasks, indeed, are challenging,” Ye Feng pretended to look over them, but in reality, he had arranged all these tasks.
Ye Feng paused, then changed the subject:
“However, you are a man, and only through enduring the hardest trials can one become a superior person. Remember, a man must learn to bear hardships. Once your spirit is well-honed, I can personally guide your cultivation.”
“Really?”
Wang Xuanping pretended to be excited, “Then, as a disciple, may I learn those powerful divine skills and techniques?”
“Yes, if you can endure hardship, divine skills and techniques like ‘Seven Steps to Heaven’, ‘The Potential of Roots Manuscript’, and ‘Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea’, I can teach you hands-on,” Ye Feng said with earnest seriousness.
