"You really think I can't do anything to you, huh!"
After once again sensing that prying gaze, Feng Bingwen couldn't hold back any longer. Even the most good-tempered person couldn't tolerate such a thing.
Although there's nothing much to see here, being spied on repeatedly like this would require even the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Pure Land of Vulture Peak to unleash their great supernatural powers to vanquish demons.
The Lesser Innate Five Elements Escape Technique
This is a method of escape that Feng Bingwen found in the Daoist Canon. The great master who wrote this Daoist Canon wanted to use it as a basis to deduce the true innate Five Elements escape method, even if he could only deduce a part of it.
Although the records suggest that the attempt ultimately failed, Feng Bingwen only needs this escape technique now, and it is only a part of it.
Earth Escape!
Feng Bingwen thought he would need to spend a long time learning earth escape techniques because his target was a plant spirit that was born with the ability to escape. To catch such a spirit, he would need to master the escape techniques to an extremely high level.
In reality, it doesn't need to be so complicated. If this plant spirit can stay hidden in the soil, then there's naturally no way to deal with it. But as long as it has some ambition and wants to surface, then there are ways to restrain it.
cat!
It possesses an almost overwhelming destructive power against anything smaller than itself that can move.
So, when Feng Bingwen returned home from school one day, he discovered the culprit that had been bothering him for so long. His pet calico cat had pinned him down with its claws and he couldn't move.
"Huh!"
As soon as Feng Bingwen entered the room, he sensed something was wrong. When he entered his room, he immediately saw the little old man being suppressed by a female cat that was about the same size as him.
When Feng Bingwen saw him, the old man with wrinkled skin also looked up and saw the child with delicate features and a pure and ethereal aura. His heart trembled, and a feeling of despair arose involuntarily in his heart.
"My life is over!"
"So it's you, you little thing, who's been spying on me every day? Ha, I thought it would take some time before I could catch you after I mastered my supernatural escape techniques. I didn't expect you to be so useless, and my cat caught you."
Feng Bingwen walked up to his tabby cat, looked at the little female cat with a proud look on her face, waiting for praise, first stroked her twice, and then squatted down to mock her.
"Eeya ya!"
As Feng Bingwen spoke, a tiny figure, no bigger than a palm, flapped its petal wings and fluttered around him, its face pleading.
When Feng Bingwen came in, she saw that the little guy had just been trying his best to push the cat's body, which was as big as a mountain to her. With her strength, she naturally couldn't push it.
"Little White Peony, don't beg this despicable human cultivator, it's useless. If you can survive, I only hope that you can remember this lesson and see the true face of human cultivators, then my loss of this life will not have been in vain."
The small old man, about three feet tall, ignored Feng Bingwen's mockery and instead spoke to the little flower spirit with a pleading expression.
"You old bastard, you're really unreasonable! You've been spying on my house every day without my permission, and now that I've caught you, you're trying to pin a despicable label on me!"
Upon hearing the old man's words, Feng Bingwen was so angry he almost laughed. He had been constantly feeling that prying gaze lately, which had been quite irritating him.
"You human brat, now that you've captured me, you can do as you please, eat me alive or boil me alive. Why bother pretending like this? You went to so much trouble, even giving my children so many benefits, and waited so long without harming them. Wasn't it all to catch me? You succeeded."
"I put in a lot of effort?"
Hearing the old medicine spirit's hostile words, Feng Bingwen pondered for a moment and understood the meaning behind them, as well as how the old medicine spirit perceived him.
"Who do you think you are? You think you're worthy of my going to such lengths for you? Did you think that when I teased those spirits in the mountains and played with them the other day, it was to lure you in? You're so ugly, yet you have such beautiful dreams."
The sarcastic remark immediately made the old herbalist's eyes widen, but his expression was still full of disbelief. He knew very well how tempting he was to those cultivators. With just a few more medicinal herbs, he could turn them into a batch of excellent elixirs.
Calling them "living the dead" or "restoring flesh and bones" might be an exaggeration, but they can indeed save a life in critical moments. Moreover, if they obtain some special pill formulas, they can even be refined into pills that allow one to break through to a higher realm.
"Human, don't try to fool me. Now that things have come to this, you don't need to hide your ugly face anymore. Let this ignorant child see your true face."
"You old geezer, it's one thing to be ugly, but how can your heart be so filthy? Do you see everything as black?"
Feng Bingwen cursed and swore, then grabbed the old medicine spirit and lifted him up. Amidst the terrified babbling of the little flower spirit, they were taken outside.
"This is my first and last warning. Don't you dare spy on me again, or if I catch you again, you'll be sorry."
The nine-year-old child had a serious expression, but the posture he adopted made the old medicine master, whom he was holding, feel absurd and incredulous.
What do you want to do?
"You old pervert who likes to peep, here you go!"
Feng Bingwen responded with action. He grabbed the small tree on the old medicine spirit's head, tossed it gently, and the next moment, he stretched out his right foot and delivered a flying kick, directly kicking the three-foot-tall old man out of the Feng family's old house.
The old medicine spirit drew a graceful parabola in the air, and when he touched the ground, he merged into it without any hesitation, just like a fish falling into water, and disappeared.
But the old medicine spirit, who had instinctively hidden in the ground, reacted the next moment, popping his head out of the ground and looking at the Feng family mansion, which was obviously newly built, with a puzzled expression.
"I've actually been kicked out!"
The ancient medicine spirit, who couldn't even remember how long he had existed—perhaps hundreds, or even thousands of years—felt utterly absurd. He had encountered humans who were so indifferent to him before.
However, those humans were all powerful cultivators who could move swiftly and command the wind and rain with a single thought. Even if they discovered him, they were too lazy to bother to capture him.
But what is this human child? With his knowledge, he could tell at a glance that although the child was full of spiritual energy, he only had a very shallow trace of cultivation. He couldn't even be considered a cultivator, yet now he was kicked out like trash.
Unheard of, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
