Seeing the puzzled expressions on Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan's faces, Ye Feng explained, "I requested to cultivate the ninth level of the Divine Wood Azure Sky Technique in order to dispel Qingmu Zhenren's suspicions about me."

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan finally realized what was going on.

However, Jiang Lingxuan then said with a smile, "Although we've dispelled Master Qingmu's suspicions, we've also wasted an opportunity for a reward. Master Qingmu is the sect leader of the Divine Wood Sect; he shouldn't be stingy with his gifts. Who knows, he might give us something good?"

"Do I lack good things?" Ye Feng chuckled.

“That’s true.” Jiang Lingxuan nodded.

Just then, a voice came from outside the cave.

"Elder Lin, may I have a meeting with you?"

This was the voice of Cao Zhengjian, the Eighth Elder of the Shenmu Sect!

Ye Feng was not surprised at all when Cao Zhengjian suddenly came to his door.

Cao Zhengjian was in charge of hunting down the One-Eyed Hermit, who was injured and driven away by Ye Feng. Cao Zhengjian's visit to Ye Feng was most likely to seek Ye Feng's help.

"Elder Cao, please come in."

Night Breeze looked towards the entrance of the cave and said.

As Ye Feng finished speaking, the stone door of the cultivation cave slowly opened, and Cao Zhengjian strode in.

Upon reaching Ye Feng, Cao Zhengjian cupped his hands in greeting and got straight to the point: "Elder Lin, you were the one who injured the One-Eyed Hermit. Since that's the case, there should be remnants of your true energy on the One-Eyed Hermit's body. So I think you might have a way to track him down."

Ye Feng nodded and said, "I can indeed track the One-Eyed Hermit through true qi sensing, but the One-Eyed Hermit is, after all, a martial arts master at the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm, so my true qi won't remain on him for too long."

"How long do you estimate it will take?" Cao Zhengjian asked.

"No more than three days," Night Wind replied.

"Could you forge a few tracking magical artifacts for me so I can lead a team to hunt them down?" Cao Zhengjian continued.

"It's alright, Elder Cao, please wait a moment."

Ye Feng nodded in agreement and took out the weapon-refining furnace, starting to refine weapons right in front of Cao Zhengjian.

The tracking artifact crafted by Ye Feng only uses the true energy left by Ye Feng on the One-Eyed Hermit to track people. It has no other functions, so the quality of the artifact is not high; it is only a first-grade artifact.

For Ye Feng, refining a first-grade spiritual weapon was far too easy; it was no more troublesome than eating or drinking.

Before long, the furnace lid opened, and three beams of light flew out from the furnace.

With a wave of his hand, Ye Feng summoned all three magical artifacts into his grasp.

These three magical artifacts were all Bagua (Eight Trigrams) plates, indicating the eight directions: east, west, south, north, southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest.

Moreover, on the Bagua plate, there is a bright little dot that is flashing slightly at this moment, which is in the northeast direction.

This bright little dot represents the One-Eyed Hermit.

However, while the Bagua talisman crafted by Ye Feng can indicate direction for the holder, it cannot indicate distance.

Therefore, it is impossible to determine how far the One-Eyed Hermit has escaped based solely on the Bagua plaque.

But something is better than nothing. Cao Zhengjian was already quite satisfied with the Bagua Plate that Ye Feng had crafted.

"Elder Cao, keep these three Bagua tablets safe. They will be able to track the approximate location of the One-Eyed Hermit. However, as I just said, my true energy will not remain on the One-Eyed Hermit for more than three days, so the effect of these three Bagua tablets will not last more than three days."

"Three days from now, the Bagua Token will no longer be able to track the One-Eyed Hermit, so Elder Cao, you need to hurry."

Ye Feng smiled and handed the Bagua tablet to Cao Zhengjian.

Cao Zhengjian took the Bagua tablet and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I will set off immediately."

After saying that, Cao Zhengjian strode outside.

A moment later, a ray of golden light flew in from outside.

It is a message talisman.

However, this communication talisman was not for contacting Ye Feng, but for contacting Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan!

The message talisman had just flown to Sun Muqing's front when he reached out and grabbed it, thus gaining full control over all the information carried on it.

"Who is looking for you?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.

“Who else could it be but Bai Muxue? Bai Muxue said that Elder Cao summoned True Yuan Realm disciples to form a pursuit team to track down the One-Eyed Hermit. Elder Cao is recruiting a total of eight disciples, and Bai Muxue wants to join, so she asked me and Lingxuan if we wanted to go,” Sun Muqing explained.

So Bai Muxue wanted to go and hunt down the One-Eyed Hermit.

This Bai family heiress is quite ambitious.

However, after thinking about it, Ye Feng understood why Bai Muxue was so proactive in carrying out the Shenmu Sect's mission.

Bai Muxue was already at the True Essence Realm, but because she had just joined the Divine Wood Sect, she was still only an outer disciple. As an outer disciple, she enjoyed very limited benefits within the Divine Wood Sect.

Leaving aside the others, let's just talk about the cultivation technique.

If Bai Muxue wants to learn the cultivation techniques of the Divine Wood Sect, she needs to go to the End of the World Tower.

However, she is currently only an outer disciple and can only enter the first floor of Tianya Haijiao Tower; she cannot even go up to the second floor.

The various martial arts techniques collected on the first floor of Tianya Haijiao Tower, while the largest in number, are also the most common and useless.

If Bai Muxue wants to obtain better cultivation techniques, she must improve her status within the Divine Wood Sect and become an inner disciple as soon as possible.

Serving the sect and completing its tasks is naturally one way to become an inner disciple.

It is perfectly reasonable for Bai Muxue to be so proactive in hunting down the One-Eyed Hermit.

"If you want to go, then go ahead," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan immediately nodded vigorously.

The two women walked outside together, but just as they were about to leave the cultivation cave, Ye Feng suddenly called them back.

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet," Night Wind said.

Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan turned around together and looked at Ye Feng with curiosity.

Ye Feng continued, "You must be careful on your journey. If you catch up with the One-Eyed Hermit, you must not fight him. The main force in capturing the One-Eyed Hermit has always been Cao Zhengjian alone. You disciples are just assisting him."

“I understand,” Sun Muqing nodded.

“Of course I understand,” Jiang Lingxuan said with a smile.

"Okay, that's good... By the way, the Three-Turn Heavenly Spirit Shell is still in your hands, Mu Qing. If you encounter any danger, make good use of it. Moreover, there is a restriction I left on the Three-Turn Heavenly Spirit Shell. As long as you use the Three-Turn Heavenly Spirit Shell, I will know immediately that you and Ling Xuan are in danger, and I will come to help you then." Ye Feng said seriously.

Hearing this, both Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan felt a warm glow in their hearts.

The night breeze's concern for them was deeply moving.

However, at that moment, another message talisman flew in.
