Ye Feng restrained his breath, tapped his toes, and disappeared into the depths of the house after a few ups and downs.
He was agile and moved silently between the shadows of the trees.
Target, Nangong Xue’s residence.
The courtyard is deep, with fallen leaves spiraling up the stone steps. A few sparrows jump and peck, then fly up and disappear in the corners of the eaves.
Ye Feng was hidden in the dark, his aura blending with the surroundings. Only his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, squinting at the room where Nangong Xue was.
For several days, he waited like a rock, carving every plant and tree in Nangong Xue's residence into his mind.
Nangong Xue’s door is always closed.
This abnormal behavior made Ye Feng suspicious, but he couldn't find any flaws.
He is like a patient hunter, waiting for his prey to reveal its true potential.
During this period, Ye Feng occasionally went back to the alchemy room.
It was said that he was going back, but in fact he was just "conveniently" picking up some spiritual herbs.
After the last conflict, the alchemy disciples bowed their heads respectfully when they saw him, for fear of offending him.
After all, who can't get along with a "waste" who can refine high-grade elixirs and punch Zhu He on the fifth floor of the foundation?
Li Quan changed his face like a page in a book. On the surface, he was polite to Ye Fengke and tried his best to flatter him.
Ye Feng only sneered at this, as if he had a mirror in his heart. This was just a manifestation of Li Quan's fear of his strength.
But he doesn't care.
In the room, the furnace was skillfully opened to refine the elixir, the flames rose and the fragrance of the medicine filled the air.
Not long after, dozens of elixirs filled with halo fell into his hands.
The foundation-building pill and the concentration pill are both top-grade.
Unfortunately, the number of spiritual herbs is limited.
After all, there are not many elixirs.
Ye Feng swallowed more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Pills in one breath.
The elixir enters the abdomen and turns into a warm current, flowing through the limbs and bones.
Immediately afterwards, there were more than a dozen Concentration Pills.
The power of these medicines flows like mud into the sea.
His cultivation level is still at the first level of foundation building.
No progress at all.
"It seems that this body is even more special than imagined."
"Or is the original owner's qualifications too poor and the speed of practice is limited?"
Ye Feng said to himself.
He took out the remaining few pills and planned to give them to Nangong Xue.
The first step is to give her a gift to win her favor.
On this day, the sky was gloomy, and the wind was carrying a damp and cold chill.
Ye Feng still stayed in the dark.
Suddenly, the closed door creaked open. Nangong Xue's figure appeared at the door. Her face was cold, and there was a hint of fatigue between her brows.
Ye Feng's eyes narrowed, and he clearly sensed that Nangong Xue's cultivation level had broken through to the first level of foundation building.
"It seems that she has been practicing in seclusion these days."
Ye Feng understood clearly.
What Nangong Xue took was just a low-grade foundation-building pill, and its effect was greatly reduced, but she still achieved a breakthrough in cultivation in just a few days.
Ye Feng thought of the dozens of high-grade elixirs he had eaten...
Close the door gently.
Nangong Xue walked all the way towards the back mountain.
Ye Feng followed from a distance, not daring to get too close.
She walked slowly along the mountain road.
Her steps were light, like falling snowflakes.
It was quiet all around, with the only sound of the wind rustling through the leaves.
In the back mountain, there are various spiritual herbs.
There are also various monsters, such as the monster wolf we encountered last time...
Go deeper.
It is a place often haunted by the Red Flame Demon Tiger.
After Nangong Xue entered the depths of the back mountain, he disappeared into the dense forest.
Ye Feng followed cautiously.
In the dense forest, the light is dim and the shadows of the trees are dancing.
There is a moist earthy smell in the air.
Ye Feng took a deep breath and felt the movement around him.
He must always remain vigilant and keep a distance from Nangong Xue.
To avoid being discovered by her.
Suddenly, he heard a roar from ahead.
Ye Feng felt a chill in his heart.
Has Nangong Xue already encountered the Red Flame Demon Tiger?
He quickened his pace and rushed towards the direction of the sound.
Through a thick bush.
I saw Nangong Xue fighting with a huge tiger.
The tiger was exuding a red aura, like a flame.
It is the Red Flame Demon Tiger!
Nangong Xue holds a cyan sword and fights with the red flame demon tiger.
The sword light flashed, and the cold air was overwhelming.
The flames of the Red Flame Devil Tiger were unable to get even close to her.
"She... is so domineering!"
Looking at the battle between Nangong Xue and the Red Flame Demon Tiger, Ye Feng was deeply shocked.
Nangong Xue’s swordsmanship is exquisite and domineering, and every sword contains powerful power.
Although the Red Flame Demon Tiger is ferocious, it is no match for her. "Roar!"
The red flame demon tiger roared.
It opened its bloody mouth and spit out a ball of blazing fire.
Nangong Xue dodged and avoided the fire attack.
The long sword in her hand turned into an icy cold light and stabbed at the red flame demon tiger.
"Poof!"
The long sword pierced the red flame demon tiger's eye.
Blood spurted out.
The Red Flame Devil Tiger let out a shrill scream.
It struggled wildly, trying to get rid of Nangong Xue's attack.
Nangong Xue didn’t give it any chance.
The long sword in her hand swung out again.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound.
The head of the red flame demon tiger was chopped off by Nangong Xue with a sword.
The huge body fell to the ground.
Nangong Xue stood beside the body of the Red Flame Demon Tiger, panting gently.
Her face still had that icy look.
Looking at this scene, Ye Feng had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
"This little hoof actually has the talent to fight across floors."
He finally understood why Nangong Xue dared to take on this mission.
Because she has the strength!
This woman is much more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
Nangong Xue walked to the body of the Red Flame Demon Tiger and squatted down.
She took out a dagger from her arms and cut open the abdomen of the Red Flame Demon Tiger with a "stab" sound.
A demon pill the size of a fist, emitting red light, appeared in her hand.
Nangong Xue put away the demon pill and stood up.
She seemed to sense something and turned her head sharply.
His eyes fell on the place where Ye Feng was hiding.
"Come out."
A cold voice without any emotion.
Ye Feng was startled. He was sure that he had hidden it well.
Could it be that she had discovered herself a long time ago?
Ye Feng stepped out from the darkness, raising the corners of his mouth in a slight arc.
"Congratulations, congratulations, senior sister, for completing the sect's mission."
Nangong Xue was startled: "Is it you? The lecher..."
A cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Senior sister, don't get angry yet!"
Ye Feng said quickly.
Nangong Xue’s beautiful face turned stern, and she held the sword tightly in her hand.
"These pills may be useful to you." Ye Feng's voice was low...gentle.
Ye Feng took two steps forward and wanted to hand the pill box in his hand to her.
Nangong Xue was stunned and did not take the pill box immediately. Instead, she stared at Ye Feng, as if she wanted to see something in his eyes.
"Why are you here?" Nangong Xue asked in a cold voice.
"I also want to complete the task." Ye Feng said awkwardly.
"Humph, you are such a loser, how can you still complete the mission?" Nangong Xue sneered.
"Well...Sister, please take a look at the pills in the pill box first."
Ye Feng hurriedly handed over the pill box.
Having just completed the sect’s mission, Nangong Xue was in a good mood, so she opened the pill box.
"High-grade foundation-building pill? And...high-grade soul-concentrating pill?"
There was a hint of trembling in her voice.
"Where did you get it?"
"It's not important."
Ye Feng waved his hand.
"The important thing is, they belong to you now."
