"Could it be that my outstanding performance in the Four Sects has caught the eye of the Yellow Maple Valley Patriarch?"
Han Feng felt that this possibility could not be ruled out.
After all, he was too outstanding in the four-sect competition, so it was hard not to make the Yellow Maple Valley Patriarch have such thoughts.
Han Feng wanted to conduct a life simulation to see what the Yellow Maple Valley Patriarch wanted.
But now there's no time left, so he has no choice but to bite the bullet and go.
Furthermore, since the Yellow Maple Valley Patriarch now wants to possess me, it seems I can't escape at all, so simulating life wouldn't be very meaningful.
However, he wasn't too worried. Even if the Yellow Maple Valley Ancestor had any evil intentions, he wouldn't act immediately.
The Yellow Maple Valley Ancestor's cultivation level had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, which was two realms higher than his Pseudo-Core stage.
If he were to possess someone else's body, his cultivation level would drop by at least two realms.
If he cannot reach the Core Formation stage in time, not only will people from outside the sect want to take his life, but even people from within the sect will.
Han Feng felt that even if he was chosen, he would have to wait until his cultivation level reached the Core Formation stage.
...
When Han Feng arrived at Li Changsheng's cave, Li Changsheng was already waiting outside.
"The rewards from the four competitions are already in the hands of the Ancestor. Since the Ancestor wants to see you, you may come with me."
"There's one thing you must pay attention to: when you're in front of the Ancestor, don't talk too much. Just do whatever he tells you to do. With me here, you won't be in danger," Li Changsheng instructed.
"I will keep Master's words in mind," Han Feng replied quickly.
I have to say, my master's acting skills are truly those of an Oscar-winning actor.
If Han Feng hadn't actually been hunted down by Li Changsheng, and hadn't been killed by him multiple times in the life simulation, he wouldn't have been able to achieve this.
He almost thought that the master in front of him was definitely the best master in the cultivation world.
Li Changsheng nodded in satisfaction and led Han Feng to the secluded cultivation place of the Yellow Maple Valley Ancestor.
The place where the Yellow Maple Valley Patriarch secluded himself for cultivation is definitely the best place in Yellow Maple Valley.
This is the source of the sect's spiritual veins, and its spiritual energy is far more concentrated than anywhere else in Yellow Maple Valley.
The cave entrance was opened, revealing a very spacious hall, brightly lit inside.
The scale of this main hall far exceeds that of Li Changsheng's cave dwelling, almost twice the size of his cave dwelling.
An elderly man with gray hair, dressed in a Taoist robe, sat cross-legged on a futon in the center of the palace.
This person was none other than Situ Changkong, the Nascent Soul Ancestor of Huangfeng Valley, and also the only Nascent Soul cultivator in Huangfeng Valley.
“Ancestor, this is my disciple Han Feng. He is the one who won first place in the Four Sects Competition.”
Li Changsheng dared not be negligent in the slightest and took the initiative to introduce Han Feng.
"Disciple Han Feng greets Ancestor." Han Feng performed the proper etiquette.
Situ Changkong slowly opened his eyes and fixed his gaze on Han Feng.
Han Feng felt as if he had been completely seen through, a feeling he had never experienced before.
As expected, cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage are far superior to those at the Core Formation stage.
"You did a great job and brought honor to Huangfeng Valley. This is a reward from your four sects, as well as a reward from me. You should break through to the Core Formation stage as soon as possible and become an indispensable asset to Huangfeng Valley."
Situ Changkong took out a storage bag and threw it to Han Feng.
Han Feng accepted the storage bag and quickly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your gift, Ancestor."
"If you have nothing else to do, you may leave."
Situ Changkong closed his eyes again, as if the previous conversation had consumed a lot of his life force.
"I will not disturb the ancestor's cultivation."
Li Changsheng led Han Feng out of the cave.
After Li Changsheng and the other person left, Situ Changkong opened his eyes again.
"His aptitude and physical constitution are not good, and his cultivation is too weak, but this person's cultivation has improved so quickly, he must have something to rely on, so he can be considered as a backup."
"My lifespan is running out. I can only wait eight more years. I must possess another body."
Just as Han Feng had predicted, Situ Changkong's lifespan was running out.
He now prefers to possess another body, which would allow him to live for several more decades.
Natural treasures can prolong life, but they only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, and are extremely difficult to find.
Situ Changkong had three or four potential candidates in mind, two of whom were his disciples, whose cultivation had already reached the mid-stage of Core Formation.
The other is a Core Formation stage cultivator from Yellow Maple Valley, whose cultivation has reached the late Core Formation stage.
Another one is Li Heng, who is the most talented person in Huangfeng Valley. He is about to break through to the Core Formation stage before he is even a hundred years old.
When the four competitions were held, Li Heng was the favorite to win the championship.
Later, Li Heng needed to break through to the Core Formation stage, which is why he didn't participate in the Four Sects Competition.
Now, Situ Changkong has added Han Feng to his shortlist.
He preferred the late stage of Core Formation, so that even if he succeeded in possessing the body, his cultivation could quickly advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
After all, Situ Changkong has come this far not without a few powerful enemies.
If his cultivation progresses too slowly, he may be killed by several enemies.
...
After leaving the old ancestor's cave in Huangfeng Valley, Han Feng and Li Changsheng parted ways.
After Li Changsheng came out of the cave of the Yellow Maple Valley Ancestor, his complexion was not particularly good.
He's a cunning old fox, so he definitely understands that Situ Changkong's gaze towards Han Feng carries a different meaning.
Li Changsheng knew that Han Feng was temporarily untouchable, at least within the sect.
Han Feng had no interest in paying attention to Li Changsheng's thoughts, knowing that at most he would lose an opportunity to gain something.
But he could lose his life if he's not careful.
I'm so unlucky, there's no one else like me. I already have a master, Li Changsheng, who's eyeing me covetously.
