"Sure enough, it's a very nice work of art," Yi Feng said after examining it for a while. He didn't find any great practical use for the object.
"However..."
Yi Feng lowered his head to look at the fallen leaves on the ground. Unknowingly, summer had passed and autumn had arrived.
Autumn in this world was much colder than autumn in the previous life. Here, autumn was already very cold, and winter would be even more so, with snow everywhere.
For cultivators, this kind of weather did not affect them much.
But for an ordinary person like him, it was enough to freeze him like a dog.
And this bead...
"In a few days when the temperature drops, you can serve as a heater for me, haha. Clean and hygienic, and very convenient."
"Most importantly, it will save me money on charcoal."
Yi Feng was impressed by his own intelligence. He stretched lazily and walked to the front hall, where he found Zhong Qing sitting blankly on the doorstep.
Yi Feng looked up slightly and saw that Zhong Qing was staring at the cultivators passing by in the distance from time to time.
"It seems this boy still has an aspiration to cultivate!"
Yi Feng sighed softly.
Hearing the sound, Zhong Qing immediately stood up and respectfully shouted, "Greetings, Master."
Yi Feng waved his hand.
He walked over to Zhong Qing with his hands behind his back, looked up at the distant sky, and sighed, "I know you have something on your mind."
Zhong Qing was slightly surprised.
Yi Feng smiled and asked him to sit on a stool.
Although leaves were falling in the autumn, it was still a season of abundant fruits. The street in front of the door was still bustling as usual. Master and disciple sat silently at the door of the martial arts school, facing each other speechlessly.
"Maybe you don't want to tell me too much..." Finally, sounds came from Yi Feng's mouth.
Zhong Qing turned his gaze over.
"But no matter what, your teacher does not stop you. The door of Qingshan Gate accepts fresh blood every ten days. If you want, try your luck every ten days!" Yi Feng said.
Zhong Qing clenched his teeth tightly and remained silent.
Yi Feng did not speak again either, watching as fewer and fewer people walked down the street. Only then did he stand up.
"It's time to make dinner," he said.
"Master."
Suddenly, Zhong Qing called out to stop him.
Yi Feng slowly turned his head to look at the boy whose face was chapped by the autumn wind.
"I have a vengeance."
"I have a deep blood vengeance!"
Zhong Qing's eyes turned red, with tears swirling around. He gritted his teeth and said to Yi Feng, as if speaking it out would evoke some very bad memories for him. So it seemed to require a lot of courage to say it out.
Yi Feng was silent.
"The enemy is very powerful, so powerful that I can't breathe," Zhong Qing said with a trembling voice, holding tightly to the knife Yi Feng had given him: "As powerful as the elders and patriarchs of Qingshan Gate, even as powerful as the old ancestors!"
Yi Feng's palms also unconsciously tightened.
"I can only embark on the path of cultivation. Perhaps only then will I have a ray of hope..."
Zhong Qing said with red eyes looking at him.
After a long silence, Yi Feng slowly nodded.
He turned around.
His eyes also turned red.
His heart felt a little sour, and he also hated, and was more indignant!
The world was difficult, and Zhong Qing had to bear so much at such a young age; he hated his own helplessness, as he was just an ordinary mortal; he was more indignant at the injustice of the Heavenly Dao, and Zhong Qing himself had no aptitude for cultivation.
The gates of cultivation.
Ultimately, it was still too far away!
Figures like the elders and patriarchs of Qingshan Gate had already reached a height that ordinary people could not reach, let alone the old ancestors of Qingshan Gate whom ordinary people had only heard about in legends and never seen.
The next day.
Qingshan Gate, Qingshan Grand Hall.
The old ancestor of Qingshan sat at the head, with an excited expression mixed with a little embarrassment.
After borrowing the knife yesterday, he had been in seclusion and practiced hard for a day. This peerless divine knife did not disappoint him, directly increasing his combat power by a level.
However, because the martial arts meanings contained within were too profound, he could not use it flexibly. During the bitter practice, he accidentally chopped off the residences of three elders and almost killed the most beloved disciple of the third elder, Yu WuJie.
"Cough cough cough, this is the first time wielding the treasured knife, please don't take it too hard," the old ancestor of Qingshan finally said lightly to the two with livid faces after a long silence.
"The old ancestor was able to obtain the treasured knife, it is indeed an honor for our sect. These were just small accidents, not worth mentioning," although he said so, ten thousand galloping camels were racing through the third elder's heart.
That residence of his alone, not to mention the costs of building it, just the treasures he had searched and plundered over the years with his status as an elder were countless.
Yet it was now completely destroyed by this single knife.
It simply broke his heart!
Yu WuJie was not much better off either. His originally fair and delicate face now looked even paler, rather like a living dead, seemingly on the verge of death.
Even more humiliating was that when he was pulled out of the rubble, his underwear had shattered into pieces under the powerful aura of the knife.
This made him the butt of jokes at Qingshan Gate, with people everywhere talking about how exposed his little bird was...
iving with nine beautiful women. [Ding! Welcome back to the Joyous Sect, Host…] Lin Yu: ??? I’m clearly in a shared rental, but you’re saying I’m in the Joyous Sect? Watering plants is now [Tending to Spiritual Flora]? Cooking becomes [Researching Elixirs]? Making the bed turns into [Setting Up Formations]? A gentle and innocent auntie, twin classmates, a mysterious hacker girl on leave, a severely socially anxious artist, an elementary school Chinese teacher, a community hospital nurse, a pet shop owner, an antique clock restorer… This system… is kinda interesting.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
