Chapter 15: The Small Accomplishment of Ling Bu's Trick

  Outside the town of Wu Hua, in a dense forest, a young man dressed in white stood under a withered tree, his single hand pinching a seal, his face looking somewhat solemn.

  In a flash, the young man's feet suddenly flashed a faint white light, flickering on and off like a candle flame that could go out at any moment. Seeing this, the young man's face lit up with joy, his hands momentarily stilling, then in an instant, the light under his feet flashed twice before disappearing from sight.

  "Ah, got too excited, looks like I need to focus more, heh heh." Seeing the light aura under his feet disappear, the young man didn't feel disappointed, but instead felt a thrill and said. This figure was none other than Ye Fei, who had been practicing the Extreme Light Lingering Step for three days.

  The next moment, his face turned serious, and he pinched out another seal with his hand, his expression also becoming focused. According to a certain rule, he compressed and poured his magical power into his feet.

  It was unknown how long it took, but with a flash, the white light on its feet lit up again, but it was much brighter than before. However, it was extremely unstable, flashing on and off erratically.

  Ye Fei didn't do much reasoning, he just focused on cultivating with a serious expression. After about two hours or so, suddenly, the white fluff on his feet burst forth in an instant, becoming somewhat dazzling to the eyes.

  At this moment, a hint of excitement flashed in Ye Fei's eyes, his hand paused for a moment, and with a burst of force under his feet, he sprang forward with a whoosh.

  A loud "Boom" shook the air. Smoke and dust rose in all directions!

  A white figure flashed out, but due to Ye Fei's unsteady footing, his face and the ground had an "intimate" encounter, and he fell heavily to the ground.

  "Ow!" Ye Fei winced, her mouth twisted in pain. Her body trembled on the ground for a moment before she struggled to sit up. The surrounding air was thick with dust, and she coughed, patting her chest. She waved her small hands in front of her face, trying to brush away the dust.

  At this time, Ye Fei had become a big painted face, with a full face of dust and mud, but his eyes flashed with a hint of excitement, looking at the withered wood that was only a few feet away from him.

  "Haha, succeeded, and actually reached a distance of several meters in an instant." Although the fall was very painful, and his appearance was extremely disheveled, Ye Fei was still overjoyed. But in his heart, he couldn't help but curse repeatedly. Why is this damn ground so hard?

  After a moment, he seemed to have realized something, and let out an "aiyo" as he lifted up his pant leg. A large bruise had appeared on both knees, and there was even a cut on the left knee that was bleeding. Seeing this, his face scrunched up and he blew air onto the wound with force.

  After a while, it seemed to have alleviated the pain a bit. After some simple treatment, Ye Fei didn't get up again.

  Patted his hands, wiped the dust off his face, Ye Fei began to study how to land safely. Jokingly, this was how he would deal with enemies - no need for them to make a move, just use a few successive Ling Steps and he'd cripple himself. The enemy could just stand there and watch the joke unfold.

  After resting for a while, Ye Fei stood up, patted the dust off his body, and came back to that withered tree. With one hand forming a seal, he started circulating the Ling Step Technique. In just a moment, his feet flashed white as he leaped forward.

  With a "thud", Ye Fei fell to the ground once again, but this time his posture was somewhat more "elegant" than before. At least he didn't "kiss" the ground. This couldn't help but make Ye Fei feel quite satisfied.

  Back to square one.

  Plop!

  Plop!

  After more than ten consecutive failures, Ye Fei not only didn't show any signs of discouragement, but his expression became even more determined. However, in his heart, he had already secretly asked the creator of this set of techniques why they couldn't perfect it a bit, so that after using it, one could stand normally and wouldn't end up falling so badly.

  With a whoosh, a white figure leapt out again and in an instant appeared several feet away. With a stumble, Ye Fei almost fell to the ground once more, but as soon as he steadied himself, he let out a cry of excitement.

  "Finally succeeded! Hurray!" The boy's personality was fully revealed, shouting and jumping up from the ground at the same time. After a while of excitement, feeling a bit tired, he sat down on the ground to rest, with a thick smile on his face.

  Like this, when hungry, he would eat some dry rations that he had brought out before. After more than ten failures, Ye Fei slowly found the key to it. Whether it was speed or agility, they all became incredibly light and effortless. He moved like a clear breeze, his body like a ghostly apparition as he traversed through the forest.

  Ten days later, in a certain place in the woods, a light yellow bird landed on a small tree, singing loudly with its head held high to attract the opposite sex. The surrounding area was occasionally blown by a gentle breeze, making it look so harmonious and quiet.

  Suddenly, the small tree broke off without warning, the broken end was so smooth, as if it had been cut off by a sharp blade, but no one's footprints were seen.

  The bird's eyes immediately showed a look of terror, flapping its wings in panic and flying away to a distant place. At the same time, a strong gust of wind swept through several nearby trees, followed by a series of cracking sounds, as the tree trunks snapped and revealed their smooth ends.

  After a long time, the gust of wind suddenly stopped and stayed under a small tree. With a cracking sound, the small tree broke open, leaving a clean break. A young man in white clothes suddenly appeared at this place, slowly withdrawing his long sword from the broken trunk.

  This young man was Ye Fei, who had been practicing the Ling Step for some time. At this moment, he was covered in sweat, holding the Yuan Guang sword in his hand, with a pair of white boots flashing on his feet, and his clothes were also in disarray, with many torn openings.

  The next moment, Ye Fei put away the Yuan Guang sword, and with a flick of his foot, the white mist that had been swirling around him dispersed. He looked down, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of bitter smile on his face.

  At this moment, the cloth shoes had already broken out with big holes, several toes stretched out of the shoe to freely and comfortably blow in the cool breeze. Seeing this, Ye Fei couldn't help but lift his feet up, hooking his toes back and forth like an ordinary boy playing around, not feeling that it was anything embarrassing at all.

  After a short while, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a break. Ye Fei was ready to head back into town, but this outfit had to be changed - otherwise, just standing on the street with a broken bowl would unknowingly steal business from many people. Ye Fei suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but mock himself.

  As he pondered his worries, he left the dense forest and headed towards Wuhua Town. Unbeknownst to him, Ye Fei arrived in front of a shop called "Jin Cai Shou". Without noticing the strange looks from passersby, he stepped into the shop.

  "Hey, what's going on? Get out! Get out!" As soon as he entered the door, Ye Fei heard a loud shout, and immediately, a middle-aged man in his thirties walked out from behind the counter. Before he could even take stock of the situation inside, he was dragged outside by the man who had grabbed his arm.

  At this time, Ye Fei didn't say a word either. He simply stretched out his hand and several pieces of silver were now in his palm. Seeing the glittering silver, the middle-aged man's face changed instantly, and he put on a polite smile. He let go of Ye Fei's arm.

  "Hey, young man, as soon as you walked in, I knew you weren't an ordinary person. Everyone who comes to me for clothes calls me Golden Scissors. Don't worry, the clothes I make not only fit well and keep warm, but also are reasonably priced, no cheating of old or young..." The middle-aged man was talking non-stop, seeing Ye Fei frowning, he couldn't help but chuckle and rub his hands together.

  "Alright, this set of clothes I'm wearing, two sets just like mine, how long will it take for these silver coins to be enough?" Ye Fei asked directly.

  Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man thought for a moment and replied: "Young fellow, you can come to collect your goods within three days. However, judging from your attire, I'm afraid it might be somewhat inconvenient for you to go out."

  "Why don't we do it this way? I have two sets of clothes and two pairs of cloth shoes that were tailored for someone else, but they should fit you pretty well. You can take them away and wear them out right now. Since we're like old friends the moment we meet, I'll let you take them first, and then I'll make another two pieces for that family, how about it?"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Fei nodded and followed the middle-aged man towards the inner room.

  After a while, the middle-aged man walked out alone, with a hint of complacency in his eyes, muttering to himself: "Hmph, you young whippersnapper, Second Master Wang, you can't even afford these two pieces of clothing, or else it would be your turn?"

  "Ah, well, it's all thanks to this master that I came. Otherwise, these two pieces of clothing would have been a loss. Hmph, this kid can really haggle, and he even figured out that I'm eager to sell. He even asked for a bath, forget it, as long as I make some silver, the rest doesn't matter."

  Just as the middle-aged man was getting impatient and wanted to go in and call Ye Fei, a young man walked out of the inner room. He was dressed in very fitting clothes, and his shoes were also newly changed, looking like a rich master at first glance.

  The young man wore a white robe, with a green tiger-patterned belt around his waist. His black hair was tied back with a white ribbon, neatly combed behind his head. However, the youth's skin was slightly dark, and his eyes seemed somewhat dull, of course, this was only because the silver mask had altered his appearance.

  For this set of clothes, Ye Fei was very satisfied, it's like a tailored one, although he knew that the boss should have some reason to rush out, and not so kind to sell it to himself first, but the price is much cheaper, as long as it's good for himself, there's no need to uncover the other party's intention, after saying hello, Ye Fei turned around and left the store.

  …………

  On a wide street in Wuhua Town, buildings of various styles stand on both sides, with one household after another, crowded with people coming and going, looking very prosperous. Some people even set up stalls directly on the streets, buying all sorts of miscellaneous items.

  A youth dressed in white robes was crouched at a street stall, fiddling with a set of small flame talismans. Although these talismans were not very powerful, if several dozen were thrown out simultaneously, even an ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivator would not dare to take them head-on.

  This white-clothed young man was Ye Fei. He looked at everything with some interest, from one end of the street stall to this place, almost looking at every household, constantly asking about the effects of talismans and treasures, but he didn't seem eager to buy anything.

  He put down the spiritual symbol in his hand and stood up, ready to go take a look at the nearby stall to see if there were any strange or unusual items.

  "Hey, you've been here for so long, I've answered so many questions for you, and you don't buy anything. Are you just going to leave without spending a dime?" At this time, seeing Ye Fei about to leave, the stall owner said with some anger in his tone. Meanwhile, another young man appeared beside him, and the two of them looked at Ye Fei with ill intentions. (End of chapter)
