Chapter 27 Departure

  In the depths of the Yunwu mountain range, there was a small hillside where three figures gathered together, seemingly discussing something.

  "Alas, it's been half a month already, and I haven't seen any living thing. This is really torturing me. I wonder how those old monks managed to persevere." A young man in gray clothes said with some despair.

  "Liú Qián, it's better if no one else comes, we can just stay here and idle the day away. I think that's not bad either." Another purple cypress youth patted the shoulder of the person who spoke earlier and said softly.

  "Have you forgotten what Master Jin said? Those old disciples have no hope of advancing, they just linger here to reap some benefits, why not do so? But we are still young, we must do something else."

  "After completing the task here, let's go ask if there are any other tasks we can take on. Otherwise, our time will be wasted and we won't be able to cultivate good magic." At this time, a young man in white clothes said so.

  These three figures were none other than Liu Gan, Ye Fei and Wan Feng, who had received the patrol mission and had been stationed here for half a month.

  "Huh? It seems like there's some movement. Let's go take a look." At this time, Ye Fei suddenly furrowed his brow and said, his spiritual awareness had been extended outward, sensing the distance outside, which was much farther than the two of them could see after washing up.

  "What was that?" Liu Gan looked puzzled.

  "Never mind, come with me." Ye Fei made a silencing gesture and led the two through the white fog in a certain direction.

  Not far away, an old man in a light blue shirt with a medicine basket on his back was cautiously moving forward, obviously unable to distinguish the direction in the fog, and even the three people in front of him, Ye Fei, did not notice.

  "Brother Ye, it seems this old man is lost. Hehe, I'll go guide him out." Seeing the old man, Liu Gan's eyes shone brightly as he said this, and he was somewhat excited to have finally met a living person.

  "All right, but don't let him discover you, take him out as soon as possible. I and Wan Shidi will wait for you on the mountain slope. With the patrol token in your hand, you won't be affected by the ban, that old man can't see you." Ye Fei nodded and immediately took Wan Feng back to the mountain slope where they were before.

  It had been a long time since he waited, and still didn't see Liu Gan return, Ye Fei couldn't help but feel some doubt.

  "Brother Ye, I'll go take a look first, nothing unexpected should happen, you just stay here and keep watch." Wan Feng also looked somewhat worried as he said this to Ye Fei, then ran towards the direction where they had previously met the old man.

  Among the three, Ye Fei was the youngest, but both of them felt that Ye Fei's strength was above theirs, and he also had a friend like Jin Xuan, a disciple of Qian Ya Sect. So they unanimously recommended letting Ye Fei be their senior brother. Seeing no way to decline, Ye Fei agreed, after all, it was just a title.

  While thinking, Ye Fei looked around on the mountain slope. Before long, Wan Feng ran back with a sly smile on his face.

  "How is it?" Ye Fei looked at Wan Feng with a puzzled expression.

  Upon hearing this, Wan Feng let out a sigh and said softly: "Well, this kid is easily excited to see a living person, he's playing hide-and-seek with the old man over there, don't mind him, he'll be back soon."

  Ye Fei heard this and looked at the distance with a mixture of anger and amusement, but didn't bother to respond.

  As a result, the poor old man who was collecting medicine, originally could have left within an hour, but in the end, he was fooled by Liu Gan for almost a whole day, until the sky gradually darkened, before being let out.

  "I'm back, haha, this old man is so much fun. I was right in front of him and he couldn't see me. I took him on a wild goose chase, but eventually it got boring, so I let him go." As he spoke, Liu Gan ran back from afar, still with a smug look on his face.

  "Hmph, if I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have left you there." Ye Fei gave Liu Qian a cold glance.

  Wan Feng would occasionally strike Liu Gan, and so the three of them chatted and laughed, ultimately persisting for three months and finally completing their mission successfully.

  Although they encountered some lost people who had mistakenly entered the restricted area during this time, Ye Fei did not dare to let Liu Qian go by himself again. Instead, he and Wan Feng sent the person away together. When there was nothing to do, the three of them circled around the Yunwu Mountains, and as a result, they became very familiar with the terrain of the entire Yunwu Mountains range.

  And gradually, the relationship between the three people became better and better. After returning to 'Lingji Pavilion' and completing their task, they didn't get any good spells, but each of them got twenty pieces of low-grade spirit stones.

  But after Ye Fei's inquiry, the old man who handed over the task of Ling Ji Ge directly told Ye Fei that if he wanted to get better spells, he had to go out and do real tasks, which would have some better rewards. The patrol mission was just a necessary process for new disciples.

  The types of tasks are relatively diverse, such as eliminating evil, gathering information, venturing into dangerous terrain to collect spiritual herbs, or killing certain demonic beasts and returning their dan and corpses to exchange for corresponding spells based on level.

  Ye Fei initially thought that eliminating evil was simply a matter of randomly killing off evil people, but it turned out that only those on the Thousand Cliff Sect's list of evil-doers would do. These people were generally those who had offended the Thousand Cliff Sect and had notorious reputations, but they were all extremely cunning and elusive, making it difficult for the sect to track them down without expending too much effort.

  So, this was added to the task list, beautifying it as "eliminating evil". As for gathering information, it's relatively simple. It's just a matter of disguising oneself, blending into a certain region, and gathering some news about other sects or something related to Qian Ya Sect.

  However, these two tasks, plus the collection of medicinal herbs, Ye Fei was not interested in taking on, and only thought about hunting and killing demonic beasts, because hunting and killing demonic beasts could not only increase some combat experience and temper himself, but also use demon cores and corpses to exchange for some spells.

  Although the demon pill is worth more, it can be used to refine pills, but no matter how good it is, Ye Fei and others have no use for it after all. They won't be able to refine pills themselves. After discussing among the three of them, they finally decided that three days later, they would go to Qian Duan Cliff to hunt down the demon beast.

  …………

  "What? Ye Shidi, you're not mistaken? For the three of you to hunt and kill demonic beasts, it's best to go to Jin Xia Valley. The level of demonic beasts there is relatively low, and if you don't venture too deep, there won't be much danger."

  But the Thousand Cliff, no need for me to say it, I suppose Ye Shidi should know that last time we were a group of nearly ten people, only three came back, if not for meeting you at that time, I'm afraid I would have been swallowed by that white tiger too.

  Even if we don't go deep, just the peripheral demons are not something we can resist, so I hope Brother Ye will consider it carefully and not act impulsively." In Ye Fei's residence, Jin Xiao was advising with a worried expression.

  Liu Gan heard this and hesitated, Wan Feng had been attacked by a monster at Qian Duan Cliff before, so he was also worried. But if Ye Fei insisted on going, being careful should be fine, after all, Ye Fei could see things from very far away. Moreover, to stand out and obtain good spells, one must take some risks, how else can it be done?

  Ye Fei insisted on going to Qian Duan Cliff because of Qing Yuan Mang. After all, he had a good time with Qing Yuan Mang in the past, but at that time, he was in a hurry to leave and didn't even know what the reason was. This time, he planned to go take a look and see if he could meet Qing Yuan Mang again.

  Yeh Fei smiled slightly at Jin Cuo and said softly, "Jin Cuo Shixiong, you don't have to worry either. We won't go deep inside, just wander around the edges."

  After a moment's thought, Jin Xuan sighed helplessly: "Okay, it seems I also can't persuade you. Since you insist on going, then let me send you off with a few things when you leave. I also know why you want to go to Qian Duan Cliff."

  I only hope that this time, Young Master Ye will have everything go smoothly. After I've finished with some recent matters, I'll gather some of our fellow disciples and we'll head to Qian Duan Cliff to find you." Jin Xiao said with a heavy heart, patting Ye Fei's shoulder.

  Then, a few people chatted for a while. Ye Fei learned some information about the habits of the demon beasts and their weaknesses from Jin Xuan. Finally, Jin Xuan even gave Ye Fei some talismans with various attributes. It's no wonder that he is the son of an elder, indeed having many good things.

  Three days later, Ye Fei and the other two brought some dry rations and left Qian Ya Sect, heading in the direction of Qian Duan Cliff. (End of chapter)
