Chapter 114: Refining Dan? Who Can Compare To Me?

  Ye Feng sneered to himself, thinking: I knew this little brat's intentions weren't pure. He was only willing to lend a hand because he coveted the Lingxu Sword Sect's things. And yet he still has the nerve to call himself a reputable and righteous sect? They're all just a bunch of people who forget their morals for personal gain.

  Ma Hengxin played with the "Zhī Yáng Bì Xié Dān" in his hand, wanting to show off intentionally. He smiled at Mu Zhaoxue and said: "If Miss Mu is interested, why not go together and take a look at the wonders of this 'Zhī Yáng Bì Xié Dān'?"

  Mu Zhaoxue shook her head just as she was about to respond, but Ye Feng jumped in and answered instead: "Alright, I'd like to see just how wonderful Ma Gongzi's Dan medicine is."

  "Mu Zhaoxue pulled at Ye Feng's sleeve and whispered: 'What does it have to do with us? Let's just stay out of trouble.'"

  Ye Feng whispered to Mu Zhao's ear, "It doesn't matter, anyway it's on the way, won't delay much time, just right to broaden our horizons, I want to see how powerful this kid's elixir is."

  Ma Hengxin smiled slightly and bowed his head, saying: "That's all for now. It'll take several more days to get to the Lingxu Sword Sect from here. I'll go back to my cabin to rest first. If there's anything, Miss Mu can come find me in the rear cabin at any time."

  Only Ye Feng and Mu Zhaoxue were left on the deck.

  Ye Feng looked around in a circle, the dock had already disappeared from view, and what could be seen around was endless sea water and a few leisurely seagulls, with a strong salty sea breeze blowing towards him.

  Ye Feng raised a huge sail and smiled at Mu Zhaoxue, saying: "This way the boat's speed should be faster."

  "Let's go rest in our cabins for a while. Even if we hurry, it'll still take some time to reach the Lingxu Sword Sect." Mu Zhaoxue said with a smile.

  Ye Feng nodded and followed Mu Zhaoxue to the first cabin at the bow of the ship.

  In the dimly lit cabin, it was alternately bright and dark, and only by the faint light of a lantern could one see clearly. Compared to the open deck above, it seemed especially gloomy and cramped.

  Mu Zhaoxue sat cross-legged on the ground with her eyes slightly closed and began to cultivate.

  Ye Feng casually pinched out a hand seal and activated the Qimen Bagua Ding inside his body, then he once again hid inside the Ding.

  Seven soldiers were fanning the furnace fire with paper fans in a very proper and orderly manner.

  Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction, sat cross-legged on the ground, and the contents of Fei Yang's flying upgrade flashed back and forth in his mind, with the true energy inside him surging back and forth through his meridians.

  After an unknown period of time, Ye Feng opened his eyes and let out a long sigh, muttering to himself: "It's really inconvenient without a watch, I don't even know what time it is."

  Ye Feng pinched a hand seal and escaped from the Qimen Bagua Ding.

  Mu Zhaoxue heard the sound and slowly opened her eyes as well.

  Ye Feng smiled slightly and said: "Beautiful Shifu, it's been so long since we've been cooped up inside, let's go to the deck together to get some fresh air."

  The moon in the sky is like a silver plate, the stars are dotted, and the waves on the sea surface are shining, just like shiny fish scales.

  Ye Feng stretched out his arms and took a deep breath of the sea breeze, laughing: "The refreshing sea breeze, the enchanting night sky, what a wonderful life on the sea!"

  Mu Zhaoxue glanced at Ye Feng, a smile appeared on her calm face, she was alone with a man for the first time under such beautiful moonlight, admiring the sea view together, her heart surged like the waves in front of her.

  "Look, beautiful sister, it seems like there's a dolphin swimming on the surface of the sea over there," Ye Feng said, pointing to the distant sea.

  Mu Zhaoxue looked in the direction of Ye Feng's pointing finger, and far away on the surface of the sea, a white dolphin was cutting through the waves, swimming towards her.

  The dolphin's swimming speed was apparently much faster than their boat, and in a short while they had gradually approached, from time to time emitting sharp whistling sounds, which sounded somewhat desolate in the quiet night.

  Mu Zhaoxue frowned and exclaimed in surprise: "Look quickly, what is it that he still has on his body?"

  Ye Feng's eyes widened as he gazed intently, and with the help of the bright moonlight, he could clearly see that on the back of the white dolphin was something resembling a human figure.

  "It seems to be a person." Ye Feng pointed at the dolphin that was gradually approaching the boat and said: "Let's rescue him and take a look?"

  Mu Zhaoxue lightly raised her wrist, and the white gauze wrapped around her arm suddenly came to life, like a giant white python coiling into the water. It gently wrapped itself around the person on the dolphin's back, and then Mu Zhaoxue jerked her wrist backwards. The white gauze quickly recoiled, slapping the person heavily onto the deck with a loud "slap" sound, sending seawater flying in all directions.

  Mu Zhaoxue's fingers moved lightly, and the spiritual law in her body quickly formed a transparent barrier in front of her. The splashing seawater was like hitting glass, and it bounced back, scattering across the deck.

  Ye Feng looked at the person who had just been rescued: short and slightly fat, wearing a black robe with many cuts on it, several wounds still bleeding profusely, his whole body was wet and muddy, his chest rose and fell as if he was still breathing.

  "Ah……" The person lying on the deck twitched their legs, let out a faint groan, and slowly sat up. Rubbing their forehead with one hand, they muttered softly: "Damn it, who's so cruel? Almost killed me."

  Ye Feng was taken aback and said in confusion: "This seat? Could it be that I've encountered some kind of big shot?"

  Mu Zhaoxue sneered and said, "Hmph, with your kind of quality, you still dare to call yourself 'this seat'?"

  This man stared at Mu Zhao Xue, first stunned, then slowly got up from the ground, looked at his own wounds all over his body, and the fierce expression on his face immediately turned gentle. He clasped his hands together and said: "Thank you two heroes for saving my life, I am truly grateful."

  Ye Feng stroked his chin and thought: Hmm? This kid's expression changed so quickly, I wonder if I've just saved a bad person? Better be on guard.

  "Hey, what kind of person are you? How did you end up in such a sorry state?" Mu Zhaoxue said with a raised chin and a shrug.

  "This person looked sorrowful and said: 'Cough... My name is Liu Wu, a loose cultivator at sea. I unintentionally discovered the hideout of a powerful pirate, so I joined forces with three other brothers to eliminate the evil for the people. Who would have thought that the pirate was too strong, killing all three of my brothers? I barely escaped with my life after a desperate fight, and then fainted. I don't even know how I ended up here.'"

  Liu Wu spoke while wiping away tears with his sleeve, but his two small eyes kept rolling around in their sockets.

  Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and thought: He spoke so pitifully, but his eyes were evasive and uncertain. It seemed like he was hiding something and hadn't told the whole truth.

  Mu Zhaoxue furrowed her brow and asked: "Bandits? What kind of bandits are so formidable?"

  Liu Wu said with a tremble, "Not to deceive the hero, the strong thief I mentioned is actually one of the 108 great thieves on the sea, 'Ti Gou Xing Jun'."

  "Star Lord?" Ye Feng said with a surprised face: "Such a powerful bandit, no wonder you were all defeated."

  "Hmph, truly ignorant of the heavens and earth, daring to call yourself Star Lord? Among the 108 Great Thieves, only Tian Kuixing, the leader of the 36 Heavenly Fiends, can be called a true Star Lord. The rest are just side dishes."

  Liu Wu narrowed his eyes and stared at Mu Zhaoxue, a hint of ferocity flashing in his gaze before it softened again as he said: "At sea, there are thirty-six heavenly thieves and seventy-two earthly demons, totaling one hundred and eight great bandits. They form alliances with each other, colluding together to commit all sorts of evil on the high seas. The small-time pirate I know, Di Gou Xing Jun, is actually one of the weaker ones among them, but unexpectedly his abilities far surpass mine."

  "I've heard that these notorious pirates have been wreaking havoc on the high seas, and I've long wanted to meet them." Mu Zhaoxue narrowed her eyes at Ye Feng: "You know, our sect offers a generous reward for killing off such evil tyrants, which can earn us quite a bit of contribution points."

  Liu Wujian smiled and said: "Hehe, I know the hiding place of Di Gou Xing Jun. He is on Yue Ya Island not far to the north. Although he was not killed, Di Gou Xing Jun was seriously injured in our fight. I see that you two heroes are extraordinary and different from ordinary people. Why don't you two heroes follow me together? We can easily eliminate him without any effort."

  Ye Feng smiled and said: "Look at you, covered in injuries. Why don't you find a place to rest first? The sun has already set today, let's talk about this again tomorrow."

  Liu Wu clasped his fists and said, "Today, thanks to the two heroes for saving me. I was seriously injured when I appeared, and I don't know if you have any healing medicine on your body? Can you give me a little bit to help me recover my energy?"

  Ye Feng smiled and said, "Later I'll go to the cabin to find it for you, first find a place on this boat to spend the night." After finishing speaking, Ye Feng pulled Mu Zhaoxue back to the fore cabin.

  Mu Zhaoxue said excitedly: "If it's really like Liu Wu said, we might as well go and take a look. Not only can we eliminate the harm for the people, but also, if we bring back the token from the bandit's body, we can get a generous contribution from the sect when we return. It's a win-win situation."

  Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Beautiful Shifu, didn't you notice Liu Wu's eyes when he spoke? His gaze was shifty and cunning, and when you mentioned that Di Gou Xing Jun was a dish, there was even a hint of murderous intent in his eyes."

  Mu Zhaoxue furrowed her brow and said: "Oh? I didn't notice, you mean this kid is lying, trying to deceive us?"

  Ye Feng nodded and said: "En, at least he didn't tell the whole truth, but as for why he wanted to deceive us, it's still unclear. Anyway, this kid is not a good person."

  "It's a pity that I haven't learned the 'Soul Search' technique yet, otherwise I could have directly forced him to tell the truth by controlling his soul."

  Ye Feng stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then his eyes darted back and forth as he said, "Soul isn't possible, but Soul Pellets should be okay."

  "Can you refine the Soul Pellet?" Mu Zhaoxue looked at Ye Feng in surprise.

  "The method of refining the Xiao Hun Dan is relatively simple, as long as all the materials are ready, it can be refined in less than a night's time. When I left, I took quite a few medicinal materials from my master's dan room, which should be enough."
