Before leaving, Ye Feng went to the market and chatted with Yang Fu for a while.
This confirms it completely... he really did die young.
Aunt Hu runs a grain shop next door, specializing in pre-cooked meals.
When cultivators go into seclusion, they usually use fasting pills to cope.
However, if there is enough time, people usually carry some pre-cooked food in their storage bag, which can be eaten after being heated up slightly.
His granddaughter, Hua Mulan, is a newly promoted inner disciple this year.
This shop has only been open for a short time, so they don't know Ye Feng, this famous person.
In fact, her family situation was roughly the same as Ye Feng's. Their family had suffered a calamity, all the men had died, and only Aunt Hu was left, who survived by making pastries with her granddaughter.
Then, when Mulan was fifteen, she was chosen by the sect, and the two finally had a place to settle down.
Only when Mulan was promoted to the inner sect did she have enough spare money to open this shop.
However, Hua Mulan did not enter Qingxue Peak, but instead became a spiritual plant cultivator in the main branch, while also learning cooking skills.
Perhaps it was because they shared a similar plight with Yang Fu that their relationship naturally became closer.
It seems like this matter... has a very high chance of succeeding!
———
On the way back, all we need to do is travel, and we can release another Nascent Soul cultivator directly to the Luoshui Sect.
Ye Feng, who was in the cultivation space, lay down on the bed as soon as he came out.
Having finished refining a large pile of pills, I came out exhausted, but then I smelled a fragrant breeze beside me.
Having been rebuffed by Li Qinghe, Ye Feng immediately turned around and hugged her with great interest.
'Smells so good! This sheer fabric...I just took a shower!'
'So soft!'
'Hmm! So big...'
Ye Feng's mind went blank for a moment.
It seems the Thousand Illusion Sword wasn't given to Qingxuan? How could he transform?
In a moment of confusion, my soul ventured out... Damn it!
Although he was extremely reluctant to part with it, Ye Feng chose to return to the cultivation space immediately!
The earth-elemental nascent soul, which was flying, trembled and wished it could turn back and stay for a couple more days.
Damn it!
Didn't we agree that Li Fengling would come over?
Oh... what a pity.
What if we had just... made the best of a bad situation?
Thinking about that frosty look on his face when I finally see him... I guess I'll just forget about it!
The journey back was short, and even with all the dawdling, Ye Feng arrived at the gate of Penglai Mountain in half an hour.
Disciples outside have already begun setting up testing stations and maintaining order.
Now that the decision to recruit disciples has been made, these preliminary tasks can begin.
Yunxia Sect currently has 234 formal disciples.
In addition, there are nearly two hundred shop assistants at Yunxia Market.
Some of these people joined later, while others were eliminated by Ye Feng.
If you are eliminated three times, you will be driven away and will not be given another chance.
Most of these disciples were in the early to mid-stages of Qi Refining.
But those outside who dare to come here are at least late-stage Qi Refining level escorts, and many Foundation Establishment cultivators bring their family members with them.
There were even three Golden Core cultivators who came.
Among them, there were quite a few who argued and fought over things.
With the exit blocked and nothing else to do, Ye Feng decided to keep watch outside.
Upon closer inspection, a conflict immediately drew my attention...
——
Outside the gates of Penglai Mountain, more than thirty disciples were scattered over a distance of several hundred meters, directing the crowd outside to line up and receive their number tokens in turn.
When it's time for the formal testing of disciples, those who will be tested will be...
3. Disciples, enter the sect according to the number plate order and undergo testing.
The others could only wait outside for the results.
Feng Yin couldn't leave her daughter aside for the test, so she carried her daughter on her back and queued up with Mu Yuling.
Unfortunately, it was those who maintained this order that...
It was none other than Gong Ying, Pang Juan's former maid!
The two were currently not far in front of Mu Yufeng and the others, chatting and laughing.
Gong Ying was originally just a maid of Pang Juan, but she was driven out because she failed to cultivate the spirit flower.
Having nowhere else to turn, they unexpectedly arrived at Yunxia Market.
Here, low-level female cultivators in distress are treated with exceptional care.
This made Gong Ying feel as if she had found her tribe, so she asked to stay.
Now, more than two months have passed.
In the past two months, she has experienced two trials that even she herself did not know how to conduct.
But none of them passed.
If the third time results in the same thing... then they will be driven out of the market!
If being kicked out before would have made her very sad... now, it's truly worse than death.
At this moment, she unexpectedly encountered Pang Juan.
The young lady I used to have to serve is now being so attentive to me.
This immediately led her to another path.
As the son of the Demon Light Immortal, Pang Juan was naturally different from ordinary people, and he needed to be fifteen years old to awaken his spiritual power and begin cultivation.
With an abundant supply of spiritual food, Pang Juan began cultivating at the age of twelve.
He has just turned fifteen and is already a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
As far as she knew, many formal disciples in the market were only at the fourth level of Qi Refining when they first entered the sect at the age of twenty.
With Pang Juan's talent, entering the Penglai Sect should be a sure thing.
At that time, with my connections in Yunxia Market and my familiarity with the people, it will definitely be no problem to ask Pang Juan to keep me as a maidservant.
In this way, I can still remain in the Penglai Sect...
"Sigh, I haven't been able to eat or sleep well since Sister Gong left... Before, no matter what trouble I encountered, Sister Gong would always help me. Now, the people Father has assigned to me are really not good to me at all."
These words were exactly what Gong Ying wanted to hear, and she immediately spoke righteously and firmly.
"Although I am no longer Miss's maid, Miss will always be my Miss. As long as I can help, I will still help Miss deal with her troubles now!"
Pang Juan seemed surprised that Gong Ying was so loyal, still recognizing her as her mistress even after becoming a disciple of the upper sect.
But whether it's true or not, we'll find out by trying!
"Sigh, it's those two behind her, the one carrying the child, and the one behind her! I just wanted to buy a seat from her, and they both yelled at me and even accused me of bullying them... How could a little kid like me bully two adults..."
Pang Juan sounded aggrieved, but Gong Ying, looking at the Foundation Establishment guards standing not far away, knew exactly what was going on with Pang Juan based on her character.
However, now is the time for her to ingratiate herself; if she fails three times, she'll be kicked out.
If you don't use your power, it will expire!
She immediately turned cold and walked towards Feng Yin and Mu Yuling.
Feng Yin and her companion witnessed this scene, but were completely helpless.
"Which of you is the disciple who wants to get a number tag? Is it you, or is it you carrying this?"
"My...child..."
After carefully finishing her sentence, Feng Yin looked at Gong Ying with a hint of pleading in her eyes.
But Gong Ying didn't frown at all, and said loudly,
"Your child? Everyone else's children line up on their own, but is your child made of top-grade spirit stones? Do you have to carry him while he waits in line?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Yin couldn't help but plead,
"Sister, my child is sick and can't move around on his own, please..."
"You scoundrel! Coming here when you're sick, what do you take us for? You're showing contempt for the dignity of our sect! Get out of here!"
Gong Ying's angry shout immediately drew the attention of the other Yunxia Sect members.
But seeing a woman nearing forty carrying a girl who couldn't move on her back... this way of joining the sect was really inappropriate, so no one said anything.
"How could you do this? They've come all this way, shouldn't you at least let them take the test? I've always heard that the people of Yunxia Market are righteous and honorable, why are you letting them leave?"
Mu Yuling had been holding back for as long as Feng Yin had instructed, but now she finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you slander the Upper Sect? What market town? This is the Penglai Upper Sect! Do you still think this is a market town? How dare you shout here? Get out of here!"
"Hmph! Fine, I'll leave! I, Mu Yuling, don't care!"
After Mu Yuling finished speaking, she tried to pull Feng Yin away.
"Aunt Feng, let's go! They won't let you in!"
Feng Yin certainly knew that too...
But this is the child's only hope!
Thinking of this, her legs went weak, and she knelt down immediately...
Ye Feng let out a long breath in mid-air, reached out and placed a two-inch air wall under Feng Yin's knees, and then put another layer of shield on the three of them.
Having done all this, he turned and entered the formation, heading straight for the main hall.
"Who's in charge of maintaining order outside and issuing number plates? Call them here!"
"Bring him here immediately!"
Ye Feng's voice wasn't loud, but anyone could hear the suppressed anger in it...
