Night Wind smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if the Black and White Duo come, I will protect you. There's no need to worry."

No sooner had Ye Feng finished speaking than a shrill voice suddenly came from the rafters of the dilapidated temple: "Such arrogance!"

Then another hoarse voice rang out: "Since you don't take us seriously, then we, the Black and White Duo, will start by taking you down!"

As the two voices rang out, two figures, one in black and one in white, appeared in the air and appeared on the roof beam.

They leaped from the air and rushed straight into the night wind, and the two began to use their martial arts skills while still in mid-air.

The night wind immediately created a dizzying sensation, as if everything around me had become unreal.

"Night Wind, wake up, wake up!"

Hearing the call from the person beside him, Ye Feng suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the ground.

"Get up and get to work! If you don't finish today's task, you won't get dinner tonight!" Wang Fu said emphatically.

"knew."

The night breeze nodded.

Located 800 li from Yunzhou, the capital city, Yuheng Mountain is 3,300 zhang high. Its main peak, Yuheng Peak, is surrounded by three other peaks, forming a tripod-like structure: Yuqiong Peak, Yucheng Peak, and Yuyu Peak.

The entire Yuheng Mountain is shrouded in ethereal mist, with a sea of ​​clouds churning at its waist, creating a truly otherworldly atmosphere.

On Mount Yuheng, one can sometimes see the streaks of light left by swords flying by at high speed, but more often one can see Taoist cultivators, young or old, standing or sitting on the backs of spirit cranes flying through the air.

The Longevity Sect, the premier Taoist sect in Yunzhou, is located here.

At the foot of Yuheng Peak of the Changsheng Sect, groups of cultivators can be seen exchanging cultivation experiences in the wide and flat circular square. These young disciples are all outer disciples of the Changsheng Sect, because the inner disciples cultivate in the caves on the four mountain peaks and rarely come down the mountain.

At that moment, among these young cultivators dressed in Taoist robes, a boy of about twelve years old ran past quickly with his head down.

He is Ye Feng, and has been with the Changsheng Sect for six years.

As a servant, his daily task was to cultivate spiritual flowers and herbs in the spiritual garden at the foot of the mountain, providing medicinal herbs for the disciples and elders of the sect to facilitate their cultivation.

Night Breeze is very satisfied with his current life.

Although he was just a lowly servant in the Longevity Sect, he was able to eat his fill every meal, which was exactly the life he had dreamed of when he was a beggar.

Over the past six years, Ye Feng has heard and seen a lot, and his horizons have broadened.

For example, he knows that the world he lives in is called Cangyu Zijie, and he also knows that Cangyu Zijie has nine major states, one of which is Yunzhou. The people of Yunzhou are ruled by the Yuanfeng Dynasty, and the current emperor is named Zhao Longji.

For example, he knew that the Longevity Sect was the number one cultivation sect in Yunzhou, standing apart from the imperial court, and that there were dozens of other sects of varying sizes in Yunzhou.

He also knew that the seemingly innocent woman who brought him to the Longevity Sect six years ago was named Shao Bailian. She was also the sect leader, the most powerful person in the sect, and a master of the Integration Stage.

Ye Feng didn't quite understand what the Integration Stage was, since he was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage and was just an unknown servant.

As we were about to leave the square, the night wind paused and looked back at Yuheng Peak, its upper part obscured by clouds.

Two rows of striking characters are carved on the steep Yuheng Peak: "What is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force."

It is said that these two rows of large characters were carved by the founder of the Longevity Sect with his natal flying sword before his ascension 12,000 years ago.

What do these two sentences mean?

Night Breeze scratched his head, turned around and left. He figured he wouldn't understand it anyway, and it was almost lunchtime.

What in this world is more important than eating?

In the lush and verdant spirit garden, Ye Feng squatted on the ground, sticking out her bottom and stretching out her two fair little hands, aiming at a small purple flower in front of her.

He took a light breath, activated the Azure Wood True Technique, and wisps of Azure Wood True Essence immediately emanated from his palm, transforming into strands of azure mist that enveloped the spiritual flower.

The Azure Wood True Technique is a publicly available cultivation method of the Longevity Sect, which anyone can practice. However, apart from servants, no disciple would actually practice this technique.

Because the Azure Wood True Technique only has six levels, corresponding to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage for cultivators.

In other words, if one cultivates the Azure Wood True Technique and uses it as the core technique, the highest one can cultivate to is the Nascent Soul stage. If one wants to further cultivate to the seventh level of the Out-of-Body stage, one must create one's own technique and comprehend the seventh level of the Azure Wood True Technique, or dissipate one's cultivation and start cultivating other techniques again.

Moreover, the Azure Wood True Technique is an auxiliary cultivation method, lacking offensive and defensive spells; it can only be used to nurture spiritual flowers and herbs and stimulate vitality.

Ye Feng was a servant, one of the 100,000 servants of the Longevity Sect. According to the sect rules, he could only cultivate the lowest-level and least promising technique, the Azure Wood True Technique. He shouldn't even dream of cultivating the more powerful techniques that the 3,000 outer disciples and 500 inner disciples could cultivate.

But Ye Feng was really satisfied. Before, he could only beg for food on the streets, but now he could not only eat his fill every day, but also become a Foundation Establishment cultivator. This had fulfilled his life's dream.

The misty azure wood essence was partially absorbed by the spiritual flower before it, making the purple flower even more vibrant and giving it a lively feel. The emerald green leaves beneath the petals resembled jade.

As he looked at it, Ye Feng felt an urge to take a bite.

No, no, you can't eat this! This flower is to be handed over to Elder Ziyun!

Elder Ziyun of Jade Peak is a great master at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage, only one realm below the sect leader Shao Bailian. Ten days ago, he arrived here on a crane and entrusted a sapling to Ye Feng for nurturing.

After tireless efforts, the tiny seedling finally grew into the blooming purple spirit flower before him. He dared not move it, otherwise how could he explain it to Elder Ziyun?

A bell rang, and the night breeze seemed delighted—it was dinnertime.

Holding a large bowl, Ye Feng sat cross-legged, admiring the spiritual flower he had nurtured while eating heartily. He felt incredibly happy.

Look at the rice in the bowl; each grain is glistening and plump, as if it has a spiritual energy flowing within it.

Looking at the side dishes, the golden chicken legs and jade-like cabbage are sure to whet your appetite!

The rice is spirit rice, the cabbage is spirit vegetable, and the chicken is spirit bird. They are carefully cultivated and raised by other servants, and contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although they cannot be compared with spiritual pills, eating these spiritually rich meals every day will definitely be of great help to improving one's cultivation level, and they have far fewer impurities.

Even the emperors of the Yuanfeng Dynasty were not entitled to enjoy these dishes that contained the essence of heaven and earth.

I'm eating better than the current emperor... Ye Feng felt very pleased with himself.

A man in his early twenties with a pointed chin walked over carrying a bowl and lightly kicked Ye Feng's butt with his foot.
