One hour later.
"As expected of Nine Leaf Soul Return Grass! If those old fellows knew I ate raw legendary-grade Spirit Grass, they'd probably have the heart to beat me to death!"
Looking at the Soul Return Grass, which only had its rootstock remaining, Zhou Tong felt this was absolutely the most luxurious thing he had done in his entire life.
Hm?
"Could it be that the medicinal efficacy of one stalk of Nine Leaf Soul Return Grass didn't completely heal his injured Divine Soul?"
Seeing Zhou Tong's melancholy expression, Ye Feng directly took out twenty stalks of Nine Leaf Soul Return Grass from the System Space, slapped them onto the table, and said, "Senior, has your injured Divine Soul not fully healed yet? Then continue eating! With this stuff, I can guarantee you eat your fill!"
Hm?
Looking at the twenty stalks of Nine Leaf Soul Return Grass on the table, Zhou Tong felt completely numb, his mind echoing with one phrase: This stuff guarantees you eat your fill!
Is this freaking stuff something you can eat your fill of?!
A few minutes later.
Hiss!
As their feet were placed into the foot basin soaking with Nine Leaf Soul Return Grass, both Ye Feng's and Zhou Tong's bodies trembled violently. Feeling a clear stream flowing through their Divine Souls, the feeling of comfort was simply beyond words.
"Senior, you're really open-minded! Whether it's legendary or not, it's just a stalk of Spirit Grass. Living in this world, naturally, one should enjoy when enjoyment is due, right?"
Ye Feng looked at Zhou Tong, who had directly accepted his intention to soak feet with Nine Leaf Soul Return Grass, as if he had met a kindred spirit.
"Insightful! Little friend, you live insightfully!"
"Living in this world, this is how it should be, this is how it should be!"
After laughing heartily, Zhou Tong turned his head aside, but an expression of extreme heartache appeared on his face. He thought Ye Feng was just joking, so he had casually agreed. Who knew the other party was freaking serious!
Eating one stalk of Nine Leaf Soul Return Grass raw already made him feel burdened with heavy sins!
Now, he was actually using Nine Leaf Soul Return Grass to soak his feet! These old stinky feet of his were simply unworthy!
"Old Zhou, are you really an elder of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion?"
It could be said that the Heavenly Secret Pavilion was definitely one of the most mysterious powers on the Xuan Tian Continent. Therefore, Ye Feng was extremely curious about the old man's identity.
If it was true, a dignified elder of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, possessing the Heavenly Profound Secret Art, why would he act like an old fraud swindling and deceiving everywhere?
If it was false, then why would the other party know the Heavenly Profound Secret Art?
"Correct. I am indeed one of the elders of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. I came to Maple Leaf City this time with a mission. As for what the mission is, it's not convenient to tell little friend."
Zhou Tong directly admitted his identity.
But Ye Feng suddenly became intensely interested in the mission Zhou Tong mentioned.
"System, can you find out what this Zhou Tong's mission is?"
Since Zhou Tong had already said this much, even if curious, Ye Feng couldn't continue prying about his mission. He could only try asking the System.
"Ding! Peeking into Heavenly Secrets Function activated! Conditions met! Peeking into Heavenly Secrets Function opened!"
As the System's notification sounded, a stream of information regarding this function also flooded Ye Feng's mind.
"So that's how it is. Because of my inquiry, although the Peeking into Heavenly Secrets Function was activated, activating it required being subjected to a force peeking into heavenly secrets. And Zhou Tong using the Heavenly Profound Secret Art earlier was precisely a type of force peeking into heavenly secrets, directly satisfying the activation condition for this function."
Looking at Zhou Tong beside him, Ye Feng also revealed a wry smile. Although the other party knew nothing, he had indeed helped him. As a prodigal Divine Magnate, how could he not give the other party some benefits?
"Old Zhou, great kindness needs no thanks. Please accept these five Heavenly Profound Secret Art Sudden Enlightenment Pills."
Hm?
Looking down at the half-black, half-white pills in his hand, Zhou Tong was also completely bewildered.
What great kindness needs no thanks?
What did I do? What is there for you to thank me for?
You gave me Nine Leaf Soul Return Grass to heal my injured Divine Soul, and generously invited me to soak my feet with Nine Leaf Soul Return Grass. I've never experienced such a luxurious life! Shouldn't I be thanking you?
Wait?
Zhou Tong abruptly looked at Ye Feng and asked, "What did you just say the name of the pill was?"
"Old Zhou, perhaps you find it incredible, but this pill is considered a very special type. After swallowing it, one can immediately enter the State of Sudden Enlightenment, but it only works for enlightening the Heavenly Profound Secret Art. The limitation is quite significant."
Limitation is quite significant?
Do you know how difficult it is to find someone suitable to cultivate the Heavenly Profound Secret Art among the hundreds of billions of people in the entire Xuan Tian Continent?
Do you know how profound the Heavenly Profound Secret Art is, how difficult it is to comprehend?
If this pill is real, then there's basically no limitation! Placed in the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, it would have to be guarded as the most top-tier treasure!
Yet, you're actually looking down on it?
Seeing Ye Feng's disdainful expression, Zhou Tong almost cried from anger. Is this something that can be disdained?
Ultimately, Zhou Tong swallowed one Heavenly Profound Secret Art Sudden Enlightenment Pill with tears in his eyes. True or false, one try will tell!
Boom!
As an aura of sudden enlightenment surged from Zhou Tong's body, he looked at Ye Feng with terror before quickly closing his eyes and beginning to cultivate.
"System, use the Peeking into Heavenly Secrets Function. Query Old Zhou's mission for coming to Maple Leaf City this time?"
The Peeking into Heavenly Secrets Function could be used three times a day, and the uses didn't accumulate. Ye Feng was considering whether to use the remaining two times on Zhou Tong as well.
"Ding! Zhou Tong came to Maple Leaf City this time under the orders of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master to find the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Saintess."
Hm?
Hearing the System's voice, Ye Feng's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected Zhou Tong's mission this time to be so serious.
"Ding! Issuing random task: Find the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Saintess and trick her into becoming a disciple of the Prodigal Sect. Task success: Reward a large amount of Prodigal Points. Task failure: Deduct a large amount of Prodigal Points. Can be refused!"
Just as Ye Feng was somewhat surprised by Zhou Tong's mission, he didn't expect the System to actually issue a random task.
"Holy Crap!"
"System, are you freaking playing such dirty tricks?"
Looking at Zhou Tong, who was currently enlightening the Heavenly Profound Secret Art, Ye Feng also smiled wryly. Wasn't this poaching someone else's corner?
"System, use the Peeking into Heavenly Secrets Function. Query the name and location of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Saintess."
Ye Feng directly used today's second use of the Peeking into Heavenly Secrets Function.
Twenty minutes later.
"Little friend, how many more of these Sudden Enlightenment Pills do you have? No matter the cost, my Heavenly Secret Pavilion will buy them all!"
As the enlightenment ended, Zhou Tong couldn't wait to ask. This Sudden Enlightenment Pill was simply too terrifyingly effective for those like them who cultivated the Heavenly Profound Secret Art, far exceeding his imagination!
"I do have some left, but I can't sell them to you."
Ye Feng shook his head, directly refusing Zhou Tong's purchase request. After all, these Heavenly Profound Secret Art Sudden Enlightenment Pills, he still had great use for them.
"Why?"
Zhou Tong couldn't understand. Didn't you disdain this thing?
Now that our Heavenly Secret Pavilion is offering to buy the thing you disdain at a high price, shouldn't you be very happy?
"Because I need to save them for Ye Lingxue."
Ye Feng directly laid his cards on the table at this moment. He had also already thought about how to cooperate with the Heavenly Secret Pavilion to jointly nurture Ye Lingxue.
(TL/N: Ye Feng (叶枫) and Ye Lingxue (夜凌雪) didn't have the same surname.)
