Night Wind suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Truly, the world is full of wonders. It's amazing that such a supernatural creature exists in this world. It's truly bizarre."
"You're the one who's being weird!"
The two little ones leading the way turned around and glared angrily at Ye Feng.
The night breeze wasn't angry; it just chuckled.
He was, after all, a martial artist at the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm. How could he possibly hold a grudge against these two little brats?
If he's really holding a grudge, then he's far too narrow-minded.
I don't know how long we walked, but a group of figures appeared ahead of us.
The leader was an old man who looked kind and gentle, with snow-white eyebrows, hair, and beard.
Strangely, his skin was dark brown, as if it were made of soil or rock!
Moreover, the old man was accompanied by hundreds or even thousands of earth spirits. These earth spirits were like an army, advancing around the old man while shouting slogans. They were truly majestic and imposing!
"Elder, I'm here to take care of something," Zhuo Er said respectfully, bowing deeply.
The night wind then followed suit and bowed in greeting.
The old man looked Ye Feng up and down for a few moments before turning to Zhuo Er: "Didn't you come here to comprehend the Earth Elemental Vein half a year ago? Why are you here again now? You shouldn't be cultivating the Imperial Earth Technique this quickly, right?"
"Actually, this Mr. Feng wants to comprehend the Earth Elemental Vein," Zhuo Er said, pointing to Ye Feng.
After a pause, Zhuo Er continued, "This is Mr. Ye Fengfeng. He is currently an inner disciple of our Netherworld Sect and also our sect's weapon refiner. Although he has not been a member of the sect for long, he has made many contributions to our sect, which is why I was willing to bring Mr. Fengfeng here."
"Nonsense! Only your master and your fellow disciples are qualified to enter here! No one else, not even the elders' personal disciples, is qualified to enter here!" the old man said sternly.
“Mr. Feng is no ordinary man. We urge the elder to make an exception for him,” Zhuo Er said solemnly.
"I cannot agree," the old man shook his head vigorously.
"Elder, if you're unhappy, then scold me. But Mr. Feng really needs to comprehend the Earth Elemental Vein. Please be lenient..."
Night Wind was shocked.
This place is indeed a forbidden area of the Netherworld Sect, and according to the rules, only the sect leader and his disciples are qualified to come here to comprehend the earth elemental veins.
Apart from this, no one else is qualified to come here.
But now Zhuo'er has brought him here, and what that means is self-evident!
Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
It seems like even more people are losing money on their own!
The old man interrupted Zhuo Er, saying, "No matter how much you talk, it's useless. Whether or not he can enter the depths to comprehend the earth elemental vein is a decision only your master has the authority to make! I'll ask your master now and see if he agrees."
After saying that, the old man raised his hand and sent out a communication talisman.
Zhuo Er's face turned extremely ugly. He wanted to stop her but didn't know what to say.
Shortly after the message talisman was sent out, another message talisman flew back.
The old man grabbed the communication talisman, and his expression immediately underwent a strange change.
Suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Ye Feng: "The sect leader agreed to let you in! Kid, who are you to make the current sect leader make an exception for you?"
A sense of confusion welled up in Ye Feng's heart.
The sect leader of the Underworld Sect, Shi Ji, actually allowed me to enter the depths of the Holy Mountain to comprehend the Earth Element Spiritual Vein?
Why is that?
Is Shi Ji being a little too nice to me?
“Of course, the sect leader did have some requirements,” the old man added.
"What are your requirements?" Night Wind asked.
The old man smiled and said, "Earth Spirit Pearls will naturally condense within the Earth Element Spirit Vein. Earth Spirit Pearls are a natural treasure that is of great use to our sect. So the sect leader's idea is that you can comprehend the Earth Element Spirit Vein, but you also need to collect Earth Spirit Pearls, at least three hundred of them."
"three hundred?"
Zhuo'er, standing next to Ye Feng, was startled.
Because Ye Feng didn't know much about Earth Spirit Orbs, he didn't have any concept of their quantity.
Hearing Zhuo'er's exclamation, Ye Feng asked, "Are three hundred Earth Spirit Orbs a lot?"
"Of course there are many! Although there are quite a few Earth Spirit Pearls in the Earth Element Spirit Vein, the number of Earth Spirit Pearls located at the edge is very small, and the deeper you go, the more there are. However, the deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes. The excessively dense Earth Element Spirit Qi can corrode martial artists who enter the Earth Element Spirit Vein, and they may not be able to come out for a while!"
"When I last came here to comprehend my cultivation, I was only at the late stage of the Separation and Union Realm. I spent more than two months comprehending and collected a total of fourteen Earth Spirit Orbs. If you compare it like this, you'll know how incredible three hundred Earth Spirit Orbs are!"
Zhuo Er said with a frown.
Ye Feng finally had a general idea in his mind.
However, the night wind was not afraid of this.
“Elder, this request is a bit excessive. Let’s change it,” Zhuo Er said.
The old man shook his head and said, "No, this requirement was set by your master, and I am not qualified to change it."
The old man then looked at Ye Feng and said, "Well, what do you think? If you can accept this request, you can enter the Earth Elemental Vein to comprehend it. If you can't accept it, then you can leave."
Night Breeze hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I accept!"
“Mr. Feng, you’re being too presumptuous!” Zhuo Er shouted.
Ye Feng smiled and said, "The sect leader is an enlightened person, and I believe she will not make things too difficult for me. Since she now wants me to collect three hundred earth spirit beads, I think I can definitely do it, it will just take a little more time. In that case, I have nothing to be afraid of."
"Truly a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger! Alright, Zhuo'er, lead this Mr. Feng into the Earth Elemental Vein." The old man waved his hand and made way for him.
Helpless, Zhuo Er had no choice but to lead the way for Ye Feng.
Ye Feng followed behind Zhuo Er and asked, "Who exactly is that old man?"
“He is the Supreme Elder of our Underworld Sect,” Zhuo Er replied.
"The Supreme Elder?" Ye Feng looked puzzled.
Zhuo Er smiled and said, "He was appointed as an elder by the previous sect leader and has been in our Netherworld Sect for a very long time, at least seven or eight hundred years. Perhaps it has been too long, so he no longer wants to worry about the affairs of the sect and wants to resign from his position as elder."
"Of course my master refused, so in the end they discussed it and arranged for him to have the honorary title of Supreme Elder, so that he could live in seclusion and cultivate here."
Hearing Zhuo Er say this, Ye Feng finally realized.
An hour passed before they knew it, and the earth elemental energy around them grew increasingly dense.
