Chapter 64: Framed

  A radiant glow pours down, with the half-moon hanging in the sky!

  A youth clad in a yellow earth armor stood under the moonlight, facing a giant who was about ten feet tall and surrounded by raging flames. After a moment, the youth made a hand seal with one hand and pointed forward.

  With a loud rumble, the ground twisted and heaved, forming a massive mound of earth. In a violent convulsion, a gigantic figure made of yellow soil was formed, roughly the same size as Huo Ren.

  At the sight, the young man's technique changed in his hand, and with a few muffled sounds, whether it was the fierce fire giant or the yellow earth giant, even the earth armor around the young man burst open with a muffled sound.

  A youth in white clothes revealed his figure, it was Ye Fei who had been practicing the basic spell for over a month.

  "Heh heh, I've finally mastered the basics of spellcasting. Now, I should be able to learn some divine abilities from Qian Ya Sect." After speaking, Ye Fei flashed back to his residence and sat down cross-legged in meditation.

  A moment later, Ye Fei's eyes snapped open, and after a brief moment of contemplation, he patted the storage bag at his waist with one hand. With a soft whooshing sound, a note appeared in Ye Fei's hand.

  "Now that the foundation has been laid, this Wind Shadow can also be cultivated. I don't know what its specific power is like, but it's definitely not ordinary, after all, it's the Pan Gu tribe's life-saving divine art." After speaking, Ye Fei set up a seal around him and continued to comprehend.

  Seven or eight days later, he opened his eyes, put away his hands, ordered Qingyuan to not go out casually, and instructed Wanfeng and the others not to disturb him. He was preparing to formally cultivate the Wind Shadow Technique. This divine ability is extremely profound, only the first two layers of the lowest level can be comprehended, and with current strength, only the first layer can be cultivated. However, in Ye Fei's eyes, a hint of excited expectation flashed by.

  "This gate's divine ability is indeed unpredictable, according to the records above, this kind of escape technique can completely catch up with that old man, isn't it even more terrifying than the speed of the earth escape technique used by someone who possesses the earth spirit root?" After finishing speaking, Ye Fei repeatedly demonstrated the cultivation method in his mind.

  A moment later, a solemn expression appeared on his face, and he began to meditate in silence with his hands clasped together.

  ……

  "What? Hasn't come out yet? This kid is clever, humph, until he met this girl's ferocity. But does he think hiding in his mountain will make everything okay?"

  Qinglian, can you help me find out what's going on over there and investigate the specific situation of Tianqin Peak?" In a quiet room filled with a faint fragrance, a girl wearing a light yellow dress smiled and said.

  "Lui Rong, I managed to get some information out of Liu Gan. Apparently, Yue Hua and Ye Xuan are quite close. It seems we've gone too far, doesn't it?" said the elegant woman named Qing Lian.

  "Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? I have a good relationship with Yuehua, and in any case, it's better than Ye Xuan. Alright, just do as I say, I'll go prepare first." Lei Rou said, her mouth curling up into a slightly mischievous smile, seemingly plotting something.

  The two chatted for a few more sentences before Qinglian turned and left, leaving Li Rou alone with an unusual glint in her eyes.

  ……

  More than half a month later, in a certain secret space within Tianqin Peak, Ye Fei's body was flashing with colorless light halos. In just a moment, his single-handed seal, the light halo around him suddenly flourished.

  It vanished into thin air with a whoosh.

  At almost the same time, the ground at the corner of the wall twisted and Ye Fei's figure burst out from underground. Immediately afterwards, a yellow light flashed around his body as he walked straight towards the wall.

  A strange scene appeared, Ye Fei's figure, as if it was nothingness, passed through the solid wall, and in the next moment, the ground where Ye Fei originally sat twisted again, and Ye Fei's figure reappeared.

  "Haha, this earth escape technique is indeed profound, but unfortunately, the flying escape technique cannot be cultivated yet, otherwise the physical body would not be able to withstand the pulling force of the void during flight." Ye Fei said with a slight smile, followed by a hint of regret.

  The art of flight, is a sign of the high level of Dan condensation, in the foundation period, if you want to fly in mid-air, you must rely on flying instruments to achieve it. However, at the high level of Dan condensation, it is possible to form a kind of light outside the body that can resist the strong pulling force of the void wind. By relying on the power of the law, one can directly fly in mid-air with the art of flight.

  But the wind and shadow recorded several kinds of escape techniques, one of which can be cultivated even in the foundation period, but it has extremely high requirements for the cultivator, and the physical body must reach a certain level of strength. However, after reading it, Ye Fei was somewhat disappointed. The physical strength of ordinary people nowadays is far from reaching the strength of the Pangu tribe recorded in the book.

  It seems that cultivation is impossible, at least for now, unless the physical strength can be improved, but there's no rush, now should go to the library, study a few divine techniques.

  ……

  "What? Brother Ye, isn't this a bit excessive?" asked Liu Qian, the all-around expert, with an unusual expression on his face as he looked at Ye Fei.

  "Hmph, Liu Gan, you coward, what are you afraid of? It's not like I'm asking you to do it. I'll take care of this myself. I'll put a few things belonging to Ye Shixiong in the residence of that little demoness Lian Rou on Wanxia Peak. Hehe."

  "Let Ye Shixiong handle it as he sees fit, and see if that little demon dares to throw a tantrum again. Liu Qian, you just need to trick Qinglian out, remember not to let her notice anything unusual, stall her." Wan Feng said with a cold smile.

  "Heh heh, don't worry about it, I've got everything figured out. This afternoon, Lui Rou has something to attend to outside, as long as I can trick Qinglian into leaving, you'll be safe!" Liu Gan said with a sly smile.

  "You can go with peace of mind, crow's mouth!" Wan Feng patted Liu Qian and scolded with a smile.

  "Alright, you two stop arguing, I'll go to the library first and come back to hear your good news, hehe!" Ye Fei said, then headed down towards the foot of the mountain.

  Not long after leaving Tianqin Peak, Ye Fei saw a familiar face, it was Jin Xuan.

  "Yeshidi, you're out of seclusion? Hehe, just in time to find you." Jin Xuan said with a smile, looking at Ye Fei.

  "Oh, I was just about to go to the library today. Is there something on your mind, Jin Xun?" Ye Fei asked directly, their relationship being not ordinary, and he didn't beat around the bush either.

  "It's nothing much, I heard from the librarian that you have some basic spells there, which is exactly what I need to use now." Jin Xuan said with a smile.

  Upon hearing this, Ye Fei felt a bit awkward but didn't think much of it. Since Jin Zhe wanted to use it, he handed it over to him and casually took out a storage bag, giving it to Jin Zhe.

  After chatting with each other for a few sentences, Ye Fei went alone to the Cangshu Pavilion.

  On the way, he met many disciples, some of whom recognized Ye Fei and exchanged greetings. They passed by several buildings where famous disciples lived, and Ye Fei took a nostalgic glance.

  Unexpectedly, I met an acquaintance on the road, Yuan Zhi Shi. The two of them chatted for a long time. Yuan Zhi Shi inquired about Ye Fei's recent situation, apparently wanting to know where Ye Fei had obtained his opportunity, but Ye Fei just casually responded with a few sentences, not paying much attention to his gloomy expression.

  "Leaf Shidi, you haven't gone to the Cangshu Pavilion yet, just in time. These few spells aren't ones I use, so I'll return them to you first." Jin Xuan appeared at some unknown point and handed the storage bag back to Ye Fei.

  "Alright, Yuan Zhi Shi, we still have some things to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." Ye Fei gave a apologetic smile to Yuan Zhi Shi and left with Jin Xuan.

  "Huh? Then aren't you going to the Scripture Pavilion to look for a technique?" Ye Fei asked Jin Xuan on the road.

  "Then I won't go for now, I reckon those few spells I used were taken by others, you go first, Young Master Ye." Jin Xuan said, after a brief conversation between the two, Ye Fei turned and left.

  Looking at Ye Fei's back, Jin Xuan's face was somewhat unusual, and he shook his head with some helplessness, sighing softly.

  ……

  The first floor of the library, Ye Fei took out the token and handed it to the librarian, who was the old man who stopped Ye Fei from taking action last time.

  "Alright, hand over your basic spells first, then you can choose other techniques to register." The old man said casually, with a somewhat listless expression.

  "Oh, it's actually Young Master Ye! What a coincidence! Hehe!" It seems that enemies really do meet on a narrow road. Before he knew it, Li Rou's figure also appeared in the library, with a smiling face looking at Ye Fei.

  "Hmph!" A cold snort, Ye Fei also ignored Li Rou, casually took out a storage bag and handed it to the Cangshu Pavilion attendant.

  Seeing this, the old man took out a registration book and opened a storage bag to check against the low-level spells handed over by Ye Fei to see if anything was missing.

  "Huh? What do you mean?" The old man tossed the storage bag at Ye Fei and said with some anger on his face.

  Before Ye Fei could react, a clear and crisp laughter echoed in his mind. "Hehe, Ye Shidi, what's wrong? Did you lose the Qian Ya Sect's technique? That's a serious crime, you're done for."

  Upon hearing this, Ye Fei couldn't help but chuckle and retorted with a sentence. "Do you know what? These spells have always been in my..." Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Fei felt something was off.

  With a sudden movement, he swept his gaze towards the storage bag. This glance was almost fatal, and Ye Fei nearly cried out.

  Inside the storage bag, there were ten pieces of spiritual stones. On one of the spiritual stones, a few small words were engraved. The content was roughly: 'To the executor, I accidentally lost my spell, these ten spiritual stones are given to you as compensation.'

  A bad premonition arose in his heart, Ye Fei's face twisted slightly, this was simply too much of a scam. If you really wanted to bribe someone, that would be fine, but using ten pieces of spirit stone to bribe others was like insulting them. Moreover, he himself didn't even know about the matter, and he felt extremely innocent.

  "Officer, I absolutely didn't..." Ye Fei hastily began to explain, but before he could finish speaking, the old man's face turned stern and a dark aura flashed across his face.

  "Hmph, you think you can bribe me? Who do you take me for? At this moment, I will report the truth and definitely give you severe punishment." The old man said sternly.

  "A bribe of ten pieces of spiritual stone, and you really have it, Brother Shidi is so formidable! Do you think the executor is someone who can be bribed? Even if you take out ten or a hundred times more spiritual stones, the executor will not be swayed by personal feelings." A sly glint flashed in Li Rou's eyes as she smiled at Ye Fei. Seeing Li Rou's expression, Ye Fei was so angry that he gritted his teeth. (End of chapter)
