Chapter 103: Indeed an Action Faction

  Niu Bai Chan stood up, cautiously approached the crack and looked down. Inside was a dark expanse, seemingly tens of feet deep, like an abyss.

  Ye Feng's heart was filled with a burst of astonishment: Is this the spiritual method used by the Jiao Snake? The power is truly astonishing, and the speed is ultra-fast! I didn't even have time to see clearly, when a black light struck the ground.

  Niu Bai Chan felt a bit apprehensive: If this were to hit himself, it would immediately dissipate, so he'd better admit defeat quickly and return the "Hunyuan San Cha Jue" was the real deal.

  "Niu Mou has conceded," Niu Bai Chan said with a smile, cupping his hands: "Mu Shimei is indeed extraordinary in her magical powers, and she also has this top-grade soul tool. Today I have gained some insight, and I must say that I am not as good as you."

  Mu Zhaoxue smiled slightly and withdrew her hand, the ten or so zhang long python in mid-air slowly retreated back into the layered clouds and mist. It transformed into a piece of python scale the size of a palm, falling into Mu Zhaoxue's hand.

  Niu Bai Chan's face wore a stiff smile as he said, "Just now, I infused most of my spiritual energy into the Hunyuan Trident, but unexpectedly it was swallowed by Mu Shifu's python. If I don't retrieve the trident, I'm afraid my own spiritual energy will be depleted by half, which would be extremely detrimental to my future cultivation. I hope Mu Shifu will return it to me."

  Mu Zhaoxue swaggered over to Niu Bai Chan's side, pointing at the large crack on the ground and said: "We agreed it was just a test, how could I possibly accept your gift, Elder Brother Cow? Your trident has already been returned by your junior sister. Look at this crack, didn't you see it just now?"

  Niu Bai Chan was taken aback, his two cow eyes quickly turned around in circles thinking: Could it be that the black light just now was my Hunyuan Trident? The speed was too fast earlier and I didn't get a clear look, but now that I think about it, it seemed to have had some resemblance to a trident.

  Niu Bai Chan hastily pinched a hand seal, and the crackling sound of the fissure responded with a humming noise. A black light burst out from within, followed by a "whooshing" sound, as the Hunyuan Trident flew out from the fissure, suspended in mid-air.

  Ye Feng also arrived at Mu Zhaoxue's side, smiling and saying: "Mu Shifu's top-grade spiritual artifact is indeed very powerful, I thought it was a black lightning bolt flashing by, but it turned out to be Niu Shixiong's trident being spat out by it."

  Niu Bai Chan hastily stepped forward and grabbed the Hunyuan Trident, bursting into a loud laughter. His two cow eyes narrowed into slits as he thought to himself: Now that I've retrieved it, let's hurry up and leave this place, lest other things happen again.

  "Thank you, Mu Shi Mei," Niu Bai Chan said with a bow: "Today, I have seen the exceptional soul artifact of Mu Shi Mei and the two powerful sword pellets of Ye Shi Di. It was worth coming here. The time is not early, and I still have other things to do. We will meet again."

  Ye Feng also cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Niu Shixiong, for visiting me especially today."

  Niu Bai Chan smiled and said, "Leaf Shidi is really polite, I haven't had a chance to thank Leaf Shidi for his kindness to Niu Zi yet. If there's anything in the future, just go find me at Ni Tian Feng. Farewell for now."

  The empty Flying Yang Tian Gong was left with only Ye Feng and Mu Zhao Xue, the two of them looked at each other, Mu Zhao Xue stared with a pair of clear big eyes and said: "You performed well, exceeding my imagination, if there's anything in the future, you can come to the 'Three Halls Seven Caves' of Flying Yang Peak to find me."

  Ye Feng cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Master Mu, for your guidance. May I take a look at the 'Flaming Snake Jiao' scales of Master Mu?"

  Mu Zhaoxue took out a bright red scale from her treasure bag and handed it to Ye Feng, saying: "Alas, this soul device has already possessed spirit and soul. I spent years refining it with great care, but unfortunately, I was unable to merge the soul and become a living treasure. It's just one step short, but that one step is even more difficult than ascending to heaven."

  Ye Feng carefully examined the scale in his hand, looking at Mu Zhaoyue's gentle smile. "Consider this a thank you for giving me the demon pill," he said. "I'll help you fulfill your wish: 'Don't worry, Mu Shifu, I have a way to turn it into a magic treasure.'"

  Mu Zhaoxue was taken aback at first, then smiled and said: "You're not trying to humor me, are you? Could it be that you can't even refine equipment?"

  Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, "I only understand a bit, coincidentally I know a spell array that can refine Mu Shifu's 'Inferno Serpent' into a magic treasure."

  Mu Zhaoxue's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly: "Is what you're saying true? Then tell me, what kind of cultivation method is it?"

  Ye Feng curled his lips and said, "The soul device is just a treasure, so it's said that refining the soul device into a treasure is still a lot of work. Generally, they first refine the soul device to the top level, like Mu Shifu's ultimate soul device, which is already at the top level. Next is to simmer with time, through repeated use, let the spirit and soul in the soul device slowly merge together. However, many people can't hold on and hang up before refining the soul device into a treasure."

  Mu Zhaoxue burst out laughing and said, "I don't have the patience for that. I'd rather put all my energy into cultivation. If my progress stagnates, even if I obtain a treasure, I'll still grow old and die. I'm not willing to become an old hag."

  Ye Feng nodded and said, "Yes, it's a pity that such a beautiful face will become an old lady. Even with the help of a treasure, you won't be able to save yourself. So, in order to save time and not delay your cultivation, there is a second method. This method won't delay your cultivation and can also get you the treasure earlier, which is to find a master to help you refine it, for example, my master is such an expert."

  Mu Zhaoxue's mouth twitched, and her dimples became more pronounced as she said: "I had thought of this method a long time ago, but it requires a large contribution from the various sects. When I was refining the 'Inferno Snake Scales' back then, I even asked Lord Luo to exchange some snake scales for my sect's contribution."

  "Then you can also use your sect's contribution points to exchange for his help now."

  "Do you think the sect's contribution points are inexhaustible? Mu Zhaoxue pouted and said: "Getting sect contribution points is not easy, no great achievement will be rewarded without contribution points. Moreover, sect contribution points are generally used to exchange for cultivation techniques or to listen to seniors explain the mysteries of the universe, almost no one uses them to exchange for treasures. And my sect's contribution points can't even invite Luo Zongzhu, a high-ranking person."

  Ye Feng stroked his chin and said, "Well, I do know this. Although you can use the sect's contribution points to exchange for a powerful treasure, the consumption of contribution points is also astonishingly high. It's not as cost-effective as using these contribution points to exchange for cultivation methods or something else."

  Mu Zhaoxue nodded and said, "Yes, is there a better way?"

  "Heh heh... Since it won't waste a lot of time and doesn't require a large amount of sect contribution points, there's only one way to do it - that is, for me to take action personally!"

  "Stop joking around, can you really do it or not?"

  Ye Feng patted his chest and said, "No problem, as long as the energy spirit and energy soul inside the soul device are refined through the 'Heavenly Spirit Gathering Soul Array', it can be turned into a magic treasure."

  "Heaven and Earth Soul Gathering Spirit Array!" Mu Zhaoxue said with a mixture of doubt and curiosity: "When I was practicing the formation array before, I did hear my seniors mention this array. It's said that this formation is very simple but practical, however, I'm afraid there might not be anyone in the entire Eastern Continent who knows it."

  Ye Feng raised his head and said: "What a coincidence, whether or not Mu Shifu believes it, I really do understand this formation."

  Mu Zhaoxue's eyebrows were tightly locked, sizing up Ye Feng from top to bottom. He thought: Looking at his serious appearance, it doesn't seem like he's joking. With his Jinshen first-grade cultivation, without any other special features, how could he become the sect master's direct disciple? Could it be that he really can't refine equipment?! How many secrets does he have?! It's really impossible to figure him out.

  Ye Feng continued with his hands behind his back: "As of now, to activate the 'Heaven and Earth Soul Gathering Spirit Array', we are still missing a few materials."

  "What materials?"

  "Seven or higher 'Obsidian' and 'Soul Jade', the 'Thousand Year Soul Locking Incense' produced in Zhongzhou, 998 sheets of 'Yin Yang Return to Origin Talismans'..." Ye Feng listed nearly ten materials in one breath.

  Mu Zhaoxue listened very carefully, her brow furrowed as she said: "The materials you mentioned are extremely rare, some of which I've only heard of but never seen. However, they do exist within our sect. Using the sect's contributions, I should be able to exchange for these materials."

  Ye Feng nodded and said: "Even if all these materials are gathered, there is still one crucial thing missing, that is 'Yin Yang Two Instruments Earth Fire', this thing is definitely not in the school."

  Mu Zhaoxue was taken aback and said: "The 'Yin Yang Two Instruments Earth Fire' is only available in the extreme north of the Eastern Continent, and it's extremely rare. Many people use many precious elixirs to exchange for a location with this kind of earth fire. Why do you need such earth fire?"

  Ye Feng assumed a teacher's demeanor and said, "The spiritual energy and soul within the Soul Tool belong to two completely opposing types of existence, one yang and one yin. To merge them together, you need a third-party medium, such as an alchemical furnace. Place your top-grade Soul Tool in the furnace and refine it using the 'Yin-Yang Two Instruments Earth Fire' technique. Then, with the help of the 'Heavenly Earth Gathering Soul Collecting Spirit Array', you can merge them together to form a complete treasure."

  Mu Zhaoxue wanted to believe Ye Feng's words, but she still had some doubts. She thought: Listening to him say this, it seems like I can do it too. I've also practiced the art of refining equipment before, and what he said makes sense. I don't think he's lying, and being able to turn a soul device into a magic treasure is just too tempting. This girl is willing to take a gamble.

  Ye Feng continued with his hands behind his back: "Now it seems that the key to turning this top-grade soul device into a magic treasure lies in this earth fire."

  Mu Zhaoxue narrowed her two big eyes, thought for a moment and said: "Speaking of this 'Yin Yang Two Instruments Earth Fire', I think of a place, it is said that in the 'Han Xi Cave' on the extreme north thousand search ice river, there is such earth fire. Time is not to be delayed, let's go now." As she spoke, she pulled Ye Feng and went out.
