Chapter 1502: Chapter 1393: An Unnecessary Move
"Alright."
The middle-aged Daoist nodded, turned, and left the room. Elixirs were precious items, and there was a specific place for storing them.
"I didn’t expect you to know Brother Ye Qingfeng too. How did you come to know him?"
The mention of Ye Qingfeng piqued Rui Xiaoqiao’s interest, and she began chatting with Lin Yanran.
Kong Ningshuang was suddenly speechless. What was so special about this Ye Qingfeng? He could even perform alchemy? And he mastered the magic door for direct spirit stone absorption!
How could there be such a man among the ordinary?
At this moment, Lin Yanran’s master returned, carrying a bottle of elixir, encased in a simple ceramic bottle.
"Is this the elixir refined by Ye Qingfeng?"
Kong Ningshuang took the elixir, her gaze slightly stiffening. She had to see what kind of elixir this Ye Qingfeng could produce.
Opening the bottle cap, Kong Ningshuang sniffed it slightly at the tip of her nose, and her expression changed dramatically. This, this was definitely top-tier elixir!
"Is this truly refined by that Ye Qingfeng?" Kong Ningshuang was shocked, a bit incredulous.
"Yes, this is indeed the elixir Ye Qingfeng generously gave to our Qingxin Pavilion," the middle-aged Daoist said with a smile.
Ye Qingfeng!
Kong Ningshuang’s heart trembled slightly; she finally began to take Ye Qingfeng seriously.
Having always heard Shui Yiyi praise Ye Qingfeng, Kong Ningshuang paid it no mind, thinking of him merely as a martial artist from the secular world.
But now, Kong Ningshuang was shaken. Mastering the magic door for direct spirit stone absorption and creating elixirs at the Ancient Martial World’s top level.
This was too remarkable!
If Kong Ningshuang knew Ye Qingfeng was using ordinary herbs to make these elixirs, she would be even more astounded.
"He must have received some opportunity, gained a heritage, hence possessing such means. But to openly showcase his abilities like this would inevitably incite others’ covetousness."
Kong Ningshuang thought to herself.
She was from the Ancient Martial World, unlike Rui Xiaoqiao, who was pure-hearted; within the Ancient Martial World, for cultivation, people were more ruthless.
Someone like Ye Qingfeng, who might possess a powerful heritage, easily arouses dishonest intentions.
Ye Qingfeng was becoming more and more mysterious, and Kong Ningshuang’s interest in him grew profoundly.
Just who is he?
"Xiaoqiao, you stay here, I have to go somewhere. I’ll come back for you, and we will return to the Ancient Martial World!"
Kong Ningshuang turned around, saying, the Panwu Land is about to open, and she should set off as well.
...
Ye Qingfeng and the others had been walking for most of the day, surrounded by dense forests, deep within the mountains.
With the divine sense, he wouldn’t get lost, but the map locations weren’t easy to find, requiring Luan Wusheng to lead the way.
He hadn’t been here before either; they had to slow their pace and follow the map’s coordinates.
At this moment, Ye Qingfeng’s brow furrowed slightly; his divine sense detected something.
"Roar!"
A fierce roar rang out; surprisingly, it was a leopard covered in black spots, with strong muscles, snarling at Ye Qingfeng and Luan Wusheng, baring its terrifying teeth.
Encountering a leopard deep in the mountains is normal; these animals are incredibly fast and can climb trees, leaving ordinary people with almost no chance of escape.
"Senior Ye, let me handle this."
Luan Wusheng recalled Ye Qingfeng’s promise; now he finally found the opportunity to prove himself, stepping directly in front of Ye Qingfeng.
His strength wasn’t on par with Ye Qingfeng’s and could only handle these minor issues for him.
"No need, someone has already stepped in!" Ye Qingfeng smiled lightly, shaking his head.
What did he mean? Luan Wusheng paused, suddenly a furious shout rang out.
"Beast, you’re courting death!"
Suddenly, a strong figure rushed out quickly, like lightning, delivering a kick to the leopard.
The leopard was kicked several meters away, got up, and fled without hesitation.
Ye Qingfeng could tell; the man held back, or else the leopard would have surely died.
"Are you alright, both of you? How did you end up in such a deep forest? Here for an adventure? It’s dangerous here!" The man smiled as he approached Ye Qingfeng and Luan Wusheng.
Ye Qingfeng smiled lightly and nodded.
Luan Wusheng remained silent; being a Peak War General level expert, a leopard posed no threat to him.
He naturally carried his pride as a martial artist.
"Kuang Xuan, why did you rush over so fast?"
A crisp voice suddenly called out, with a hint of reproach, prompting the man to turn back quickly as Ye Qingfeng and Luan Wusheng looked towards the source of the sound.
"Qingning, I’m over here." The man called out hurriedly.
Soon, a group appeared before Ye Qingfeng and the others, a bunch of youths dressed rather quaintly, differing from those in the secular world.
The leader of them was a girl, seemingly seventeen or eighteen, with decent looks, and reasonably tall, though not particularly graceful.
She might grow into a beauty, but not a top-tier one; amongst the girls Ye Qingfeng had seen, she was by no means outstanding.
"Senior Brother Kuang Xuan, why did you run so fast, leaving us behind!"
The girl turned out to be the man’s junior sister. Yet, her tone carried a hint of scolding, more like an elder such as an elder sister or aunt.
"I apologize, little sister, I found someone in danger here, so I rushed over to check. Turns out it was true; luckily, I made it in time!"
Kuang Xuan replied repeatedly, his tone containing a hint of respect and an attempt to appease.
"Hmph, what’s it to you?" The young girl murmured softly.
The man’s expression shifted slightly, then turned to Ye Qingfeng and asked: "Are you here for an adventure? Wild beasts roam these mountains; I advise you to hurry back; it’s too dangerous!"
Ye Qingfeng shook his head, not intending to hide, calmly stating: "We are heading to Panwu Land."
Panwu Land!
Upon hearing the three words, Kuang Xuan, Qingning, and the group behind them were taken aback; they hadn’t expected these men knew about Panwu Land.
The indication was clear here; they, too, were martial artists!
The man paused momentarily, then smiled and said: "I didn’t expect you two were martial artists, too. Seems I meddled. With your skills, dealing with a leopard shouldn’t be a problem."
Ye Qingfeng smiled slightly and didn’t respond.
The atmosphere became awkward; usually, one should express gratitude to Kuang Xuan, yet he directly acknowledged it without such courtesy.
