After getting the lotus, Feng Shao knew that the lotus was called "Nine-child Buddha Lotus". The flower has nine petals and nine children. The lotus seeds mature once every ten years. Taking them can cure internal injuries and enhance cultivation. If you eat the petals, you can also understand a trace of Buddha's charm, shape a golden body, and help the Nirvana realm Buddhists increase the chances of success.

But lotus seeds can be regenerated, but petals cannot. There are as many lotus seeds as there are petals. Once all the petals are eaten, the lotus seeds will be gone.

So this thing should be taken back and planted instead of draining the pond to catch fish.

Although Feng Shao was willing to generously share the lotus seeds with everyone, everyone was embarrassed to accept them. After a lot of pushing and shoving, the two sides finally decided that the four people would each get one lotus seed, and the remaining five would belong to Feng Shao. Feng Shao couldn't refuse, so he simply accepted it.

Perhaps it was a habit left over from the past, Feng Shao did not keep all five lotus seeds for himself, but gave one to Bai Shuanghua who had done nothing from beginning to end. Bai Shuanghua was deeply moved and became more certain of his previous thoughts.

Sure enough, Feng Shao himself is a great opportunity.

In addition to the Nine-Child Buddha Lotus, Feng Shao also didn't let go of the giant snake that was killed on the lake. A spiritual beast of this level is a treasure from head to toe. So Feng Shao skinned it, removed its bones, packed up the meat and skin and took it away, even the snake's brain, which made everyone stunned.

In the perception of most cultivators, after killing a demon beast or a spirit beast, taking away the demon core is enough. They have never seen anyone take away all the parts of the spirit beast.

In fact, this was a habit Feng Shao developed when he was in Taiwei Sect. He had lived through many hard times before, and even though he became a little richer later, Feng Shao always habitually took away as many useful things as possible, and tried not to waste any valuable things. Even if it was the meat of a monster, it would be good to bring it back to improve the food for his master, uncle, and fellow apprentices.

Afterwards, the two sides parted ways amicably, and Feng Shao was ready to return to Cangyun Sect. Not long after they left, our son of destiny, Ye Fan, finally arrived late.

He stared blankly at the giant snake that had been cut into two pieces on the lake, with an expression of disbelief: "Master, what is going on?"

The old man sighed and said, "It is obvious that the natural treasures hidden here have been taken away."

"Then who would have taken away the natural treasures? Was it Feng Shao?"

The old man did not answer, but Ye Fan had already guessed the answer.

He gnashed his teeth and growled, "Feng Shao! You obviously have everything, why are you trying to snatch even a mere treasure from me?!"

The old man couldn't help but sigh. You said that you always say don't bully the poor young people, and you always think about how to kill them. It's good enough that they didn't kill you right away. Isn't it normal to rob you of some of your treasures?

However, the old man did not say this out loud, as he knew Ye Fan would not listen.

Ye Fan sat down by the lake with resentment in his eyes: "Master, what should we do next?"

The old man pondered for a while before saying, "You can go to Dongjiang City."

"Dongjiang?"

"That's right. Dongjiang City has a branch of Yaoxianglou, and in addition to selling elixirs, Yaoxianglou also recruits senior alchemists. You can try your luck at Yaoxianglou. With my help, becoming a senior alchemist of Yaoxianglou will be a piece of cake."

After the old man said this, Ye Fan felt a little better.

Although the old man was restrained when facing Feng Shao, Ye Fan still believed that his master's ability was unmatched. Even if he could only rely on him, which resulted in his ability being only slightly exerted, it should be enough to apply for a senior alchemist in Yaoxianglou.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan regained his spirits, his eyes blazing with fire: "Feng Shao, don't think that I will be devastated just because you took away my opportunity! Just wait, it's mine, you will have to spit it out to me sooner or later!"

After Ye Fan secretly said some harsh words, he headed towards Dongjiang City.

However, before he could get out of the dense forest, he ran into another group of people.

They were the four people Feng Shao had rescued on the lake before.

Ye Fan didn't know them at all, so there was no need to greet them. The two sides just glanced at each other and went about their business.

But just as Ye Fan walked a few steps away, he heard someone say, "Mr. Feng is truly a man of talent. You can tell at first sight that he is definitely not an ordinary person!"

Another person responded, "That's right! I have never seen anyone with Mr. Feng's demeanor in my life. We are so lucky to be rescued by Mr. Feng today!"

When Ye Fan heard the three words "Mr. Feng", he immediately became excited. In his impression, besides Feng Shao, who else could be called "Mr. Feng"?

So these people must have seen Feng Shao!

But when he heard them talking about Feng Shao, their words were full of respect and admiration, which made Ye Fan very unhappy.

Ye Fan pretended to be harmless, walked forward and asked, "The 'Mr. Feng' you just talked about, is his real name Feng Shao?"

The four of them looked at each other and nodded, "Yes, do you know Mr. Feng?"

Ye Fan's face was full of smiles: "More than knowing each other, we are old acquaintances!"

Upon hearing this, everyone became friendly towards Ye Fan.

Someone stepped forward and patted Ye Fan's shoulder, saying loudly: "Little brother, you are so lucky to be able to make friends with such a great man as Mr. Feng. May I know what your name is?"

Ye Fan said with a fake smile: "I am Ye Fei, a disciple of Cang Yun Sect."

Ye Fan didn't dare to use his real name recently, so he just gave himself a fake name. When he was out, the three words "Cang Yun Sect" were quite useful, so although Ye Fan said "I don't want to stay in Cang Yun Sect", in fact, wherever he went, he still called himself a disciple of Cang Yun Sect.

The Cang Yun Sect was well-known, and everyone showed respect after hearing this. The leader of the four people bowed and said, "So you are a disciple of the Cang Yun Sect. I have heard of you for a long time!"

When he said "long admired", he was of course not referring to Ye Fan, but to Cang Yunmen.

Although Ye Fan was arrogant, it didn't mean he was a fool. In fact, he was quite slick, and he became familiar with everyone in a few words, almost to the point of being close to them.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Ye Fan asked casually, "By the way, you just mentioned Mr. Feng and said that Mr. Feng saved your lives, but what's the matter?"

Everyone did not suspect anything and told Ye Fan everything that had just happened. Finally, they said, "If it weren't for Master Feng's rescue, we would have all died at the hands of that beast. Moreover, Master Feng generously gave us a few lotus seeds. His character is really impressive!"

Ye Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "You just said that Feng Shao gave you a few lotus seeds?"

One of them nodded and replied, "Yes. We have already eaten one of them, and we are going to take the other three to Dongjiang City to sell them for some spirit stones."

Ye Fan lowered his head and murmured, "There is always a way out!"

Everyone didn't hear clearly, so one of them couldn't help but ask, "Little brother, what did you say?"

Ye Fan raised his head and smiled, "Thank you all for your gifts. I will try to be as gentle as possible later."

The man was stunned, and before he could figure out what Ye Fan meant, he felt a flash in front of his eyes. Then, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

He looked down in disbelief, only to see a hideous knife wound on his chest, deep enough to see the bone.

"You..." The man only had time to say this one word before he collapsed to the ground and died.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this sudden change.

But they were also experienced, so they immediately picked up their weapons and surrounded Ye Fan.

One of them asked with gritted teeth: "Why did you suddenly kill someone?"

Ye Fan sneered: "Who told you to bring the things I want? Sorry, everyone, please hand over the things!"

"Don't even think about it!" The other party was furious. "Even if I have to throw the things away, I will never give them to a scum like you!"

Ye Fan gently stroked the black long sword in his hand and said leisurely: "In that case, then you all go to die!"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Fan slashed at the other person with a knife.

Ye Fan was able to kill a person before, mainly because of a sneak attack, and the other party was not prepared. At this time, the two sides had already torn their faces apart, and although Ye Fan's knife was fierce, it was easily dodged by the other party.

The man jumped back a step and shouted, "Let's fight together! Kill this scum and avenge Lao San!"

Ye Fan had roughly estimated the other party's realm from their dodging movements. He knew very well that it was impossible to kill the three of them with his own strength alone, so he said in his heart: "Master, please lend me a helping hand!"

The old man sighed quietly.

Honestly speaking, although the cultivation world is a cannibalistic society, it is rare for people to start fighting over a disagreement. Even if many people agree with the so-called "survival of the fittest", they still have to save face. Otherwise, Ye Fan would not have been able to come this far, accusing others of bullying the weak and the few.

So, fundamentally speaking, Ye Fan himself knows that the world of cultivation is not without rules, but these rules are not made clear.

But when it was his turn, he had no intention of following the rules. Every time this happened, his reasons were "the strong prey on the weak, the fittest survive" and "the way of cultivation, there is nothing to worry about" and so on.

This is probably the characteristic of the child of luck. There is always more than one set of standards, strict ones are used to restrict others, and loose ones are used to treat oneself.

Ye Fan's sudden move was something that even the old man could not have anticipated. But at this moment, even if the old man was only considering himself, he could only choose to help Ye Fan.

A moment later, Ye Fan felt his whole body filled with endless power, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

"Everyone, have a safe journey on the road to the underworld!"
