I have to leave right away!
Han Feng didn't dare to linger in the same spot.
He understood that once Li Changsheng realized something was wrong, he might come back.
If the two had met then, all his efforts would have been wasted.
Han Feng did not take the paved road, but chose to take a secluded path.
Compared to flat land, the view from a secluded path is not as open.
Li Changsheng was flying in the air on his sword, so it wasn't easy for him to see anything on the ground.
Sure enough, Li Changsheng returned not long after Han Feng left.
His eyes turned incredibly gloomy, and he looked as if he wanted to devour someone.
Flying on a sword is incredibly fast; we were almost back in Yellow Maple Valley just now.
He then discovered that Han Feng was not in the sect, and realized he had been tricked, so he quickly went back.
Li Changsheng searched around and only left after confirming that Han Feng was not there.
The route he took while flying on his sword was exactly the same as Han Feng's prediction, choosing the fastest routes back to Huangfeng Valley.
...
Han Feng is also quite cautious in choosing his path, conducting life simulations in advance before proceeding to choose that path.
He tried it a total of ten times, and encountered Li Changsheng eight times. The outcome is self-evident.
Li Changsheng can definitely be described as a cunning old fox.
If Han Feng hadn't been cautious enough, he would have died at Li Changsheng's hands long ago.
The other two times I was lucky enough to return to Yellow Maple Valley, the difference being that one of the journeys had an opportunity, while the other did not.
Han Feng would definitely choose the opportunity that comes along the way.
He arrived at a very remote place, where a corpse dressed in the robes of the Spirit Beast Sect lay on the ground.
The corpse of the Spirit Beast Sect disciple lying on the ground had almost all of its bones broken, and there were obvious wounds all over its body.
These wounds included sword wounds, axe wounds, hammer wounds, etc., suggesting that he was watched by more than one person during his lifetime.
There was still obvious blood at the corner of his mouth, and Han Feng guessed that the Spirit Beast Sect disciple had not died immediately despite being attacked by so many people.
Instead, they held out for a while and escaped here to avoid being hunted down.
However, this disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect could not hold on and died here due to severe injuries.
Han Feng searched the Spirit Beast Sect disciple and pulled out two storage bags.
Opening one of the storage bags, one finds only some useless pills and books, but not a single spirit stone.
There were no magical artifacts in the storage bag, leading Han Feng to guess that they might have been destroyed or lost during the attack.
Another storage bag was opened, containing a total of 100,000 spirit stones.
Even if Han Feng knew beforehand using the life simulator, he was still overjoyed to see so many spirit stones.
Han Feng took both storage bags without any hesitation, since the person in question was already dead and there was no point in keeping them.
It would be better to entrust them to myself for safekeeping, so that these spirit stones can continue to shine and generate energy.
At the same time, Han Feng found the person to be very familiar and suddenly realized that this person was not a disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect who ran the gambling den.
He still remembered how the Spirit Beast Sect disciple had won so many spirit stones on his own and kept thanking him while watching the performance.
Unexpectedly, the two met in this way not long afterward.
Han Feng then thought of his once-in-a-millennium unlucky constitution. This person must be so grateful to him that he accidentally got tainted by his bad luck.
Then, unfortunately, he became a corpse, and the 100,000 spirit stones were given to him as a so-called thank-you gift.
Thinking of this, Han Feng felt a surge of excitement. If he were alive, he would definitely become sworn brothers with this person.
While others expressed their gratitude verbally, this disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect was truly sincere.
Not only did he give himself 100,000 spirit stones, but he also risked his life.
Such a good person is one in a million.
To prevent the disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect from being eaten by the wolf pack, Han Feng thoughtfully took out a jade bottle containing bone-dissolving powder.
He opened the jade bottle again and poured bone-dissolving powder onto the corpse.
The corpses of the Spirit Beast Sect disciples dissolved completely upon contact with the bone-dissolving powder.
Han Feng finished cleaning up the scene, nodded in satisfaction, and left.
These 100,000 low-grade spirit stones are enough to drive a Core Formation stage cultivator crazy.
He didn't want anyone to know that he had 100,000 low-grade spirit stones on him.
These things naturally cannot be omitted, and the deceased Spirit Beast Sect disciple was also able to understand Han Feng.
...
After a week of trekking through mountains and rivers, Han Feng finally returned to Huangfeng Valley.
He encountered some dangers along the way, but with his current cultivation level and strength, he wouldn't have much trouble dealing with anyone who wasn't at the Core Formation stage or above.
When Han Feng returned to Huangfeng Valley, he was surprised to find that his master had not yet returned.
This inevitably moved him deeply, realizing how much his master loved him.
I've already returned, but my master hasn't come back yet.
Still searching for myself, fearing an accident along the way.
Thinking of this, Han Feng decided not to send a telepathic message to his master.
After all, his master was getting old, and it wouldn't be good if he got too happy upon hearing the news of his return to Huangfeng Valley.
After returning to Huangfeng Valley, Han Feng did not rest but began to meditate and cultivate.
He returned safely to Yellow Maple Valley, but the hidden dangers remained unresolved.
Li Changsheng was not going to give up so easily; on the contrary, he wanted to kill him even more and obtain the so-called "opportunity" he possessed.
Han Feng's solution was to improve his cultivation level as quickly as possible, because only when his cultivation reached the Core Formation stage could he truly be considered safe.
After cultivating for a few days, Li Changsheng returned.
He didn't search for Han Feng immediately, but instead sent a few telepathic messages.
The implication was that he was concerned about Han Feng, wondering why he had left without saying goodbye, leaving his master searching for him for a long time.
Han Feng said he was scared at the time and couldn't help but run away. Now he regrets it and feels ashamed for abandoning his master.
Li Changsheng then replied that he didn't blame Han Feng, that it was a normal reaction to fear, and that he shouldn't take it too seriously.
Han Feng gave a couple more perfunctory replies before the two stopped communicating telepathically.
After the relationship between the two teachers and students was repaired, it was restored to its former "deep affection between teacher and student".
After a month of arduous training, Han Feng finally stabilized his cultivation at the Pseudo-Core stage.
His cultivation level can be rapidly improved using a life simulator, but his mental state and other aspects still need to be improved by himself.
Just then, Li Changsheng sent a telepathic message, asking Han Feng to come over.
The rewards for the top four finishers have arrived, and he must go and collect them in person.
More importantly, the Yellow Maple Valley Patriarch wanted to see him, which made Han Feng's heart tighten.
Based on his numerous survival experiences, it wouldn't be so easy for the Yellow Maple Valley Patriarch to see him.
Especially as the old patriarch of Huangfeng Valley was nearing the end of his lifespan, an ominous premonition enveloped him.
The Yellow Maple Valley Patriarch doesn't have many options if he wants to continue living.
Han Feng could only think of two options: one was to find rare and precious herbs that could prolong life.
This choice can only allow him to persevere for a while, and there are still rare and precious materials to be found.
Another option is to possess a new body, which allows one to live longer than the previous option.
However, there is a side effect: the cultivation level of the Yellow Maple Valley Ancestor will drop drastically, possibly to the Core Formation stage, or even lower.
