Chapter 245

Early morning the next day. The wind and the rising sun. It was a sunny day.

On Thousand Grass Mountain, there was a huge crowd of people.

Fairy Feng was wrapped in a gold-woven gauze brocade, and a white jade comb was inserted in her hair. She had an elegant and noble bearing, and her entire person was as graceful and graceful as a peach blossom in the middle of spring.

However, when she saw this bustling crowd, she immediately frowned.

"Why are there so many people? I clearly didn't tell anyone."

Ye Feng looked around and said with a faint smile, "Since you didn't mention it, then it should be someone who called for me from the crowd yesterday."

He paused for a moment, then went on: "And the person with the motive."

He faintly smiled, and his eyes seemed to glance over at Wang Tianzhi.

Wang Tian Zhi's heart trembled. He ignored Ye Feng's gaze and turned his head around, pretending to be calm. However, in Ye Feng's eyes, this calmness was a clear sign of guilt.

Before the match had even begun, the surrounding crowd had already started discussing. However, the heart of the discussion was not on this match.

"Do you think there's any meaning in continuing this match?"

"No, I was called over to help. That person said that he would give me ten gold coins later."

"What a coincidence. So you were also invited here for ten gold coins."

Someone concluded, "Anyway, there's nothing to look forward to. After all, it's a one-sided victory for the fairies. We'll take the money and finish the show." His words immediately garnered the approval of everyone.

Fairy Feng's mouth curved into a faint smile. "Oh right, Ye Feng, you've just arrived at the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Did you sleep well last night?"

It turned out that last night, the residence that Suo Lao had arranged for Ye Zhang Feng was not the same dilapidated room from the start.

However, with the interference of Fairy Feng, he managed to bribe the two disciples of Old Suo. Only then did he move Ye Feng to a small, run-down house that was almost uninhabitable.

Ye Wen replied with a faint smile, "With Fairy Feng's blessings, the walls of your small room can be considered ventilated. It's rather cool."

After all, Old Suo was a person of some importance. His actions represented the face of the Celestial Sect. He would not openly do anything that would affect the reputation of the Celestial Sect.

If one thought about it carefully, the person who would do this sort of thing was basically Fairy Feng.

"You …" Fairy Feng was startled when she heard this. It seemed that the other party was able to see through her thoughts with just a few words. Her beautiful face immediately flushed red with embarrassment.

"Ye Zifeng, listen up. I'll give you another chance. If you concede now, it'll be too late. Moreover, if you kneel down and kowtow three times to me, I might even change my mind and consider making you my disciple."

When Liu Bingqian heard these words, her beautiful eyes lit up once again … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

However, when she heard that Ye Wen was going to kneel down and kowtow, she immediately sighed. She knew that this matter was definitely hopeless.

"There's no need for this disciple thing. I've already made my statement clearly before."

Ye Feng's expression was extremely calm as he stared at her and said, "Fairy Feng, there's no need to wait for anyone. It's just a competition between the two of us. It's best if we start quickly."

When Fairy Feng saw the self-confidence on his face as he urged her to hurry up, she naturally became very angry, but soon after, she coldly snorted.

"Alright, since you're in such a hurry to make a fool of yourself, I won't stop you. I'll explain the rules to you. We'll start in a moment."

"I would like to hear more." Ye Wen cupped his hands together and said indifferently.

Fairy Feng raised her slender hand and used her spirit energy to wipe the jade bracelet on her wrist. From within, she took out two large bags that she could carry. She then handed one of the bags to Ye Wen.

"We will set out from here in the morning to gather at least ten types of spirit plants from the first to the third level of the spirit rank. If you collect more than a third of the spirit plants that I collect, then you win, and vice versa, you lose."

Suddenly, she patiently asked Ye Wen, "Right, just in case, I'll ask you a few more questions. Do you understand what a spirit plant is?"

For an ordinary person, as long as they knew the formula of the medicinal herb, they would be fine. Who would care about each medicinal ingredient? What rank would it be?

Therefore, Fairy Feng's words weren't superfluous. If it was anyone other than Ye Wen, ninety percent of them wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Spirit Level medicinal plants. Moreover, the conditions she set were from the first to the third level of the Spirit Level.

Hearing these words, the surrounding discussions became noisy again.

"Fairy Feng, aren't you a little too much? Ye Feng is a newbie herbalist and just came to the Celestial Sect of Wonders yesterday. Fairy, why did you come up with such a difficult problem for others?"

"What do you know? Yesterday, Fairy Feng wanted to take Ye Feng as her disciple, but she was rejected. Naturally, she wanted to ruthlessly ask for a difficult problem and take her revenge."

"Wait, what did you say just now? Are you saying that Ye Zifeng refused Fairy Feng's invitation to accept him as a disciple?" That person's mouth was wide open in shock. It was as if he could swallow a fist alive.

….

"Spiritual grade spirit plant." Ye Feng pondered for a moment as if he was thinking about something. After a long while, the corner of his mouth curled into a strange arc. "I understand. Then, this is the only rule, right?"

When Fairy Feng saw his dark expression, she thought that he was forcing himself to show off. Her mood was incomparably good as she smiled and continued speaking.

"One more thing. Actually, it's all for you. In order to prevent you from acting as if you don't understand, you've destroyed the spirit plant that I've carefully cultivated here. If you take any medicinal plants that are outside of my designated range, then I'll ask you to compensate me at ten times the market price."

"This …"

Ye Wen frowned, but did not say anything.

"How about it, ten times compensation? You must be scared. After hearing this rule, do you still dare to compete with me?" Fairy Feng raised her delicate hand and looked at Ye Feng with incomparable confidence, as if she was already the victor.

Ye Wen's brows gradually relaxed as he smiled and said, "No, the rule set by Fairy is very appropriate. However, there is still a small loophole."

"What a loophole." Fairy Feng looked at him with some doubt. She didn't know what he meant, because to her, this rule was so simple. It couldn't be clearer than that.

Ye Zifeng smiled faintly and said, "If I picked the wrong medicinal herb, I should compensate you with ten times the market price. However, what if I picked the wrong medicinal herb?"

Fairy Feng thought he had something to say, but upon hearing his words, she couldn't hold back her laughter. After all, she had been harvesting medicine in this medicinal field for so many years, how could she have guessed wrong?

"Alright, Ye Feng, you are indeed an interesting person. Listen to your punishment of ten times the compensation, it will also be effective against me. If I'm wrong, I'll take my order and compensate you with ten times the compensation."

Ye Wen's eyes flashed with a divine light.

"That's good. Let me ask you a few more questions. All you need to do is to make sure that the herbs you're harvesting are of the first to third level of the Spirit Level. The more the better, right?"

Fairy Feng smiled and said, "That's right. As long as you can guarantee this, you can dispose of any of the herbs you pluck."

"Then I have no objections. Let's begin."

Fairy Feng nodded, a trace of a smile on her pretty face. "Alright, I'll announce the start of the herb picking competition between us now."

Just as she finished speaking, a flash of light flashed across the eyes of the two before they strode forward together.

However, after Fairy Feng took a few steps, she immediately bent over and picked one of the spirit plants into her bag.

On the other side, Ye Wen was running towards the Thousand Grass Mountain.

Fairy Feng raised her head and chuckled, her eyes filled with disdain. "A novice is still far from here. One must know that when we get close to the mountain peak, there will be a pile of high level medicinal herbs. How can I still tell what spirit level medicinal herbs are?"

"That's not necessarily true." Ye Ji said with a smile from a distance, as if he had heard her words.

"This Ye ZIefeng knows how to act. I don't know why Bing Qian's disciple would plead for such a conceited fellow last night."

Fairy Feng's eyes, which were as clear as the waters of a lake, carried a trace of laughter. She immediately ignored Ye Wen's situation and began to pick the herbs according to her own tempo.

Even though she didn't like Ye Wen, Liu Bingqian's intoxicated personality made her quite fond of him. Coupled with that relationship with old man Mu Yun, the two ladies chatted happily for almost an entire hour.

"Heavens! Look, what exactly is Ye ZIefeng doing?"

At this moment, an exclamation suddenly erupted from within the crowd.

A look of doubt appeared on Fairy Feng's pretty face. If he were to pick the medicine, then he would be picking it up. There was no need to gather the medicinal ingredients, nor did he need to fight with the crowd.

Thus, she followed the exclamations to the sight before her. It was a mortal rank flame ignited by the tip of Ye Wen's finger and a pill furnace that was brought out from who knows where.

As it turned out, he looked around for a while before placing the pill furnace on the ground. The Wind King Dagger in his hand along with the golden threads, the Spiritual Qi swirled around and like a tornado, he cut down all of the Spirit Plants.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

When Fairy Feng saw that the spirit plant in the area had been sliced off by Ye Wen, it was as if someone had stabbed her in the heart. She didn't even care about picking the herbs herself as she flew towards Ye Wen.

"Ye-zi, are you crazy? What are you doing?"

Ye Zifeng smiled faintly and said with a serious face, "What Fairy Rui saw, of course Zi Feng is picking the medicinal herbs. Don't tell me that all of this is wrong? Isn't it the second level spirit rank …"

"Ghost Face Demon Flower huh."
