(For free.) The three left Grandmaster Gong Sun and headed separately towards Ling Shou Peak and Ling Zhi Peak.

  This time's trip to the Great Plains, the biggest gain for the Wanghai Sect was not the Sword Pavilion that sent out the most disciples, but rather the little-known Ling Shou Peak and Ling Zhi Peak.

  While countless disciples of various sects were unable to enter the depths of the ancient ruins, Ye Feng entered with Mei Zhi Ruo and Zhen Xue Tian. Although they didn't obtain any treasures on the surface, this was an honor that made all the sects remember the names of the three individuals, as well as the name of the Wang Hai Sect.

  The head of the family, Gong Sunhui, was overjoyed and immediately notified that from then on, the three would enjoy treatment at the executive level.

  This decision immediately stirred up a thousand waves in the Wanghai faction. Although it is said that the executives are all from the Lianqi period, which one of them has not reached the peak of Lianqi and entered the Wanghai faction for a long time? Many people think it's inappropriate and want the leader Gong Sun to withdraw the appointment.

  But Gong Sun Hui insisted on his own views and ordered to set aside a special area in Ling Shou Peak and Ling Zhi Peak as the private domain of the three, such a decision was unprecedented in Wang Hai Pai, even the executive level only had independent houses, all living in the same area.

  To demarcate a special area for one person is a treatment that can only be enjoyed by seniors.

  It can be said that from then on, the three of them will rise to prominence in the Wanghai Sect, holding the title of executive but not having to take care of mundane daily management, and still enjoying the treatment of elders, envied by many disciples.

  Especially those Jian Ge disciples who still have to stand guard every day.

  Upon arriving at the intersection of Ling Shou Peak and Ling Zhi Peak, the three discovered that the Elders Sun Qi and Yin Meng Lian were standing there, clearly waiting for them.

  Ye Feng and three others hastily stepped forward in quick steps to pay their respects to the two elderly men.

  No matter how great the achievements of the three people are, the elder is still the elder after all.

  Sun Qi and Yin Mengli both had smiles on their faces, especially Sun Qi, who was laughing so hard that his mouth couldn't close. Previously, he himself was the legend and representative of Ling Shou Peak, always serving as the banner of Ling Shou Peak.

  And now there is a successor, Ye Feng has even done better than him. At least Sun Qi acknowledges that at Ye Feng's age, he was only an apprentice who raised spiritual beasts.

  "Ye Feng, this time you've finally stood up for Ling Shou Peak." Sun Qian's smile grew wider as she looked at Ye Feng.

  "This is all due to the teachings of the elder." Ye Feng smiled and replied.

  "Get out! Stop spouting these empty words with me!" Sun Qi glared at Ye Feng.

  The old man is being deceitful, and doesn't care about Ye Feng's hypocritical flattery.

  "Elder, there are outsiders present, let's save face." Ye Feng whispered to Sun Qi.

  Sun Qi glanced at the three people on Lingzhi Peak and smiled, "Elder Yin, you all chat, I'll take Ye Feng back."

  Yin Mengli nodded, curiously glancing at Sanlang who was following Ye Feng, this seemingly gentle giant made her unable to see through him, it was terrifying.

  Yin Mengli estimated that being able to make the master do this series of decisions must have a direct relationship with this big guy, otherwise, how could the three people enjoy such treatment, kidding?

  "Yefeng, tell me, what's the story behind this big guy?" The two walked on the road of Ling Shou Peak, Sun Qi asked Yefeng, as the elder of Ling Shou Peak, he had put all his energy into raising spirit beasts. For such a super spirit beast, Sun Qi's interest was the most intense.

  Ye Feng had already recited a well-rehearsed speech, half true and half false, making it even more believable.

  Sun Qi patted Ye Feng's shoulder and shook his head, exclaiming that Ye Feng had good luck.

  Actually, exposing Sanlang was a helpless move for Ye Feng. If he were to bring Sanlang into his inner world, Sanlang would become the most powerful trump card in Ye Feng's hands. However, everyone in the ruins knew that Sanlang was Ye Feng's pet, and if brought into the inner world, it would expose the secrets of the inner world, which was something Ye Feng could not accept even more.

  After returning to the Spiritual Beast Peak, the days gradually became calm. When other disciples returned one by one and told their stories, Ye Feng's name was once again spread throughout the Wang Hai Sect. Everyone knew that Ye Feng had led Mei Zhi Ruo and Zhen Xue Tian into the depths of the ancient ruins first, and then was surrounded by treasure hunters. He single-handedly fought against tens of thousands of cultivators, but managed to repel them all.

  Although many people did not see the scene at that time, in different versions brought back by the disciples, Ye Feng was undoubtedly a treacherous and cunning, yet cold-blooded guy.

  After that, the Wanghai faction spread a legend. Whenever there was a dispute between disciples, they would often say in unison before taking action, "Three-second countdown!"

  Although everyone envies and hates Ye Feng, this sentence has become the most popular pre-fight phrase.

  The madman's great name has been passed down throughout the Wanghai School, and when the disciples mention the madman, they will imagine the scene of Ye Feng killing wildly, and there is also Sanlang by Ye Feng's side.

  Although the Wang Hai faction was bustling for a while, Ye Feng's solitary residence on a small hill was exceptionally quiet. Elder Sun Qi had long since given strict orders that no one was allowed to disturb Ye Feng at will.

  The reason is that Ye Feng has gone into seclusion again.

  After countless battles in the ruins, Ye Feng felt that his cultivation had increased significantly. Although he was still far from building his foundation, stabilizing his Qi refinement realm was no longer a problem.

  This time of seclusion is not like the previous ones, seeking a breakthrough, but Ye Feng needs a relatively quiet environment to fully digest and absorb this gain.

  It is indeed that reading ten thousand volumes is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. This time, the journey to the ancient ruins ended with an unexpected result, but the process was full of danger. Ye Feng learned a lot from fighting against disciples of other sects.

  Review everything you've learned, including the fighting styles of the masters from scratch.

  Ye Feng had many epiphanies, such as applying talismans to battles. Although he wasn't the only one doing so, he was the most skilled at using low-grade talismans in battle, thanks to his deep understanding of them.

  Every talisman paper that Ye Feng displayed was personally written by him, and his understanding of these talismans could be said to be unmatched. He picked up a talisman paper at random, without looking at it with his eyes, and through the sense of touch in his fingers, he knew what talisman paper was in his hand.

  In this world, the masters of seal painting and spiritual beast tamers, as well as spiritual plant husbands, all belong to non-combat types. In other words, they have different professions, such as alchemists and artifact refiners. These professional masters rarely quarrel with others, and their status among cultivators is also quite high.

  Their combat effectiveness is naturally not very high.

  As for cultivators like Jian Ge's disciples, they basically didn't know these skills, so when using talismans, they naturally weren't as proficient as Ye Feng.

  Ye Feng concluded that this was his greatest asset in establishing himself in the Cultivation Realm.

  So he decided that from now on, in the aspect of talisman drawing, he must continue to work hard and strive to reach the pinnacle of perfection. Later, when fighting with others, perhaps one piece of talisman paper would be enough to settle the battle.

  Additionally, Ye Feng felt that his greatest reliance, the inner world, although invincible, could not be used as a winning strategy. If his opponent knew about this ability, a surprise attack would finish him off before he even had time to enter the inner world.

  So Ye Feng decided that the secret of hearing the world would be hidden as much as possible, and it would not be used in public unless absolutely necessary. Generally, it was only used to place magical treasures.

  Sanlang will try to use it as little as possible afterwards. If used too much, it will produce dependence and is very unfavorable for one's own growth.

  Because Ye Feng knew that a cultivator's growth and progress could not be achieved solely through cultivation to reach higher levels of cultivation, especially higher-level realms. Many cultivators were stuck in the foundation-building period and couldn't form the Golden Elixir.

  It is often the case that a stronger opponent is needed to improve one's skills, and if one could cultivate solely through meditation, then the cultivation world would be a harmonious whole, with everyone smiling and greeting each other before returning to their individual practices, all becoming Golden Dan stage experts.

  The actual situation is that the cultivation world is a bloody one, often when a cultivator advances to a higher level, their hands are stained with blood and their feet tread on white bones.

  In order not to become a stepping stone for others' progress, one must become stronger.

  From that world, Ye Feng, who had gone through many years of examination-oriented education, was very good at summarizing and could see his own strengths and weaknesses clearly.

  After several days of contemplation, Ye Feng pushed open the door.

  Looking at the bright sunshine, Ye Feng's whole body was filled with vitality, and his cultivation had also stabilized in the Refining Qi stage after several days of meditation, bidding farewell to the unstable state of having just entered the Refining Qi stage.

  "Mr. Ye is wanted, Elder Sun has an invitation." The little servant boy standing outside Ye Feng's door said respectfully, no longer with the arrogance of before.

  People, it's really a different time now, Ye Feng sighed.

  It's been less than half a year since I joined Wang Hai Pai, and when I first arrived, the little kid saw me with an extremely condescending attitude, directly calling me Ye Feng, seemingly giving me great face, almost to the point of humiliating himself in front of me.

  But this time, after returning from treasure hunting in the ruins, the young boy couldn't help but lower his head and face himself.

  Elder Sun Qi found himself also becoming a guest.

  A fifteen-year-old attendant, Lian Ye Feng himself found it laughable. However, that's just how life is - you get treated a certain way based on your abilities. For example, the old man from Ling Shou Peak who sweeps the floors is over sixty years old and has to sweep every day just to make a living.

  Yeah, even if it's just to avoid being inferior to others, Ye Feng felt that he must become a strong person.

  Arriving at Sun Qi's residence, Sun Qi looked up and down at Ye Feng, nodding constantly. After coming out of seclusion, Ye Feng was even more spirited, the whole person looking radiant and full of infinite vitality. Young people are indeed great.

  "Elder, you called me." Ye Feng said.

  "No need to be polite, I've told you before, from now on just call me Shifu."

  "Master Uncle."

  "Ye Feng, your trouble has arrived." Sun Qi's expression was solemn.

  Trouble? Ye Feng's mind quickly turned, was the assassination of the Sword Pavilion elder exposed, or his own private treasure discovered.
