"We should be cautious about this matter, Sect Master, please don't be in a hurry," Ye Feng said earnestly.

“Alright, I’ll think about it some more.” Aoki nods and gives Night Wind an approving look.

If it were the First Elder Xiong Wanling, or the Second Elder Nan Yuerong, and if True Person Qingmu told them that they would be their successors and become the sect leaders of the Divine Wood Sect in the future, they would probably be overjoyed and agree on the spot.

However, the imposter Third Elder Lin Bifeng, Ye Feng, was so calm and composed that he even politely refused Qingmu Zhenren, asking Qingmu Zhenren to reconsider.

Aoki Masato would naturally think more highly of Yorufu because of this.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back to cultivate. I've gained a great deal from the Azure Dragon Divine Tree this time, and I must thoroughly contemplate its teachings," Ye Feng said with a smile.

"Alright, you can go back and cultivate now," Master Qingmu said, waving his hand.

Just as the night breeze was about to leave, Master Aoki suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, right, there's one more thing."

"What is it?" Night Wind asked.

"Seven days from now, our sect will be holding an alchemy competition. Elder Lin, your alchemy skills are the best among the eight elders, so I have decided that you will be in charge of this competition..."

Night Breeze asked, "Should I host it?"

"No, I plan to entrust the task of organizing the conference to Elder Xiong Wanling. However, you must participate in this alchemy conference and achieve a good ranking. We cannot disgrace the Shenmu Sect. Our Shenmu Sect is, after all, one of the five top sects. If we rank poorly in the alchemy conference, people will definitely look down on us," said True Person Qingmu very seriously.

Night Breeze thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I will do my best."

"Now I can rest assured," said Master Aoki with a smile.

After leaving Qingmu Peak, Ye Feng returned to his cultivation cave.

Almost ten days have passed, so Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan should be back by now, right?

Just as Ye Feng was thinking this, he saw two women run in from outside.

It was Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan!

Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan looked somewhat travel-worn, their clothes and shoes covered in a layer of dust.

Night Wind then raised his hand and cast a purification spell, making them clean from head to toe.

"Welcome back," Night Wind said with a smile.

Sun Muqing nodded vigorously, and then said, "Ye Feng, this time Ling Xuan, Elder Cao, and I went with them to hunt down the One-Eyed Hermit, and we had a wonderful encounter!"

"A serendipitous encounter?"

Night Breeze's face showed curiosity.

“That’s right, that’s right!” Sun Muqing said with a smile.

Jiang Lingxuan also looked excited and said, "Our amazing adventure will definitely surprise you!"

"Then tell me, I'm very curious," Ye Feng said, gesturing for Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan to sit down.

Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing didn't even bother to sit down. After organizing their thoughts and thoughts, they started talking non-stop from beginning to end.

Hearing Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan say that they had entered a mysterious place called Qianlinchuan, Ye Feng was not surprised.

The Five Elements World is so vast that it's perfectly normal for it to have some strange and unusual places; there's nothing strange about it at all.

When Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan talked about what happened in Qianlin Village, Ye Feng was not surprised.

But when Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan talked about the Heavenly Light Golden Tooth Mirror and the secrets it had told them, Ye Feng could no longer remain calm.

Night Breeze's face showed deep astonishment!

"The Misty Celestial Lord? The Pure and Melodious Immortal Lord? The Heretical Myriad Laws Divine Diagram? The Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure?"

Ye Feng suddenly stood up, his expression becoming very serious!

When Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan saw Ye Feng's expression finally change and he showed a look of surprise, they both burst into laughter, feeling a strong sense of pride.

Ye Feng always appeared calm and composed in front of the two of them, and almost never lost his composure.

But now that Ye Feng was so shocked by the news they brought back, the two of them naturally felt a great sense of accomplishment!

"I never expected you would have such an extraordinary encounter..." Ye Feng exclaimed.

"Night Wind, do you think what the Heavenly Light Golden Tooth Mirror said is true? How credible is it?" Sun Muqing asked.

"It's highly credible. I think it's probably true, because the Heavenly Light Golden Tooth Mirror has no reason to deceive you. Even the Eighth Elder Cao Zhengjian, who is at the Transcendent Realm, was powerless against the Heavenly Light Golden Tooth Mirror and fell into a coma in an instant, like a fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others. The two of you are even less than anything in front of the Heavenly Light Golden Tooth Mirror."

"Therefore, the Heavenly Light Golden Tooth Mirror has no need to fabricate lies to deceive you. If it wants to plot against you or harm you, it will simply take action."

"Therefore, what Tianguang Jinyajing said is highly credible, and I believe it can be trusted!"

Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan strongly agreed with Ye Feng's words, because they thought the same way.

Night Breeze sighed, "It seems I must find an opportunity to go to Qianlinchuan and meet with Tianguang Jinyajing."

"Shall we go now?" Sun Muqing said with a smile.

"No, not now. You two have just returned from outside with Elder Cao. If I take you out immediately, especially to Qianlinchuan, it will definitely arouse suspicion. So we should at least wait for a while."

"Moreover, in a few days, the Shenmu Sect will be holding an alchemy conference, and I will have to attend this grand event, so I need to make some preparations in the next few days."

Ye Feng smiled and said to Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan.

Sun Muqing asked curiously, "Ye Feng, what level have you reached in comprehending the Wood Element True Qi? We've been infiltrating the Divine Wood Sect for over a month now, shouldn't we leave?"

"What, you don't like it here?" Night Wind asked.

“It’s not that I don’t like it, but we’re not true members of the Divine Wood Sect after all. I feel that staying here for too long isn’t a good thing,” Sun Muqing said earnestly.

Jiang Lingxuan nodded and said, "That's right, I think so too. There are no secrets in this world. The longer we stay, the greater the chance that we will reveal our flaws and that our true colors will be exposed."

Ye Feng didn't say much, and simply raised his right hand.

A ball of emerald light appeared in Ye Feng's palm, and then a small grass appeared out of thin air from within it.

The little grass swayed in the wind, its leaves unfurling slightly. It seemed to contain a strong vitality, and even just looking at it, Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan could feel the abundant life force emanating from it.
