Yet he still held a sliver of hope for the Sky Flame Alliance. Perhaps not everyone there was like that; after all, on the surface, the Sky Flame Alliance stood opposed to Demonic Cultivators. But he no longer dared go to the Blazing Sun Holy Land, nor did he dare have too much dealings with them. Until he could stand against them, it was best to avoid them whenever possible.
This time, he also noticed that his Charm Points had increased again. Ye Feng looked himself over in the mirror again and again. He felt that his looks now far surpassed those celebrities from his previous life who made their living off their faces. He looked somewhat like an elf from a mythological tale, only without such long ears. The slight baby fat on his face did not seem out of place at all; instead, it gave him a different kind of beauty.
Fortunately, his height had not continued shooting upward. Over 1.7 meters was enough. If he grew to 1.9 meters, no one would believe he was eight years old anymore.
After straightening his clothes, Ye Feng left for the Ye Family Ancestral Land in Fengyuan City. Before long, he arrived at the Heavenly Rank of the core district and found his father, Ye Changming.
The moment Ye Changming saw him, he could not conceal the expression on his face. "Feng'er, how did you break through to the Essence Gathering Realm already? When I saw you half a month ago, you were still in the Blood Transformation Realm. How could your cultivation rise so quickly?"
Faced with Ye Changming's shock, Ye Feng had already prepared a response. Pretending to be excited, he said, "Father, I was taken away by a Black Clad Man before. He said I happened to meet his requirements, then brought me to a place said to be an Inheritance Secret Realm. There, I obtained many pills and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. I could not tell what Earth Grade Pills those things were, but after I consumed the pills and Precious Herbs, my cultivation kept rising until it became what it is now.
"But after I left the Inheritance Secret Manual, I could no longer find that Black Clad Man. I do not know what he was after, and I could not find the place of inheritance either. He only told me to go to the Snow Mountain Sect and take a master, but from his appearance, he did not resemble Jiang Changtian as recorded in our Lineage's secret records."
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Ye Changming fell into a daze once more. He only vaguely caught a few keywords—Secret Realm, pills, cultivation rising. At eight years old, Ye Feng had already traversed the road Ye Changming had spent centuries walking. Ye Changming quickly came back to his senses. Fortunately, the one who had encountered this fortuitous opportunity was his son, so his Dao Heart had not truly collapsed. That trace of jealousy vanished as well, replaced by joy.
In Ye Changming's eyes, Ye Feng had gone from having ordinary Mortal Grade Bone Structure to looking like a genius. There was even a great chance that he would travel farther than Ye Changming in the future. Though Ye Changming felt somewhat dejected inside, he was also immensely happy.
Overjoyed, Ye Changming wanted to take Ye Feng to meet the Ye Family's three Ancestors. However, Ye Feng refused to go with his father to see them. He merely handed the Earth Grade Secret Manual, the Gathering Yuan Art, which he had prepared beforehand, to Ye Changming and stated that he needed to follow the Black Clad Man's instructions and go to the Snow Mountain Sect to take a master.
This time, Ye Changming neither refused nor resisted Ye Feng's wishes. The Black Clad Man's strength was unknown, but he had indeed given his son enormous benefits. He likely would not harm his child. Since the Black Clad Man had acted this way, he must have had some deeper meaning; perhaps it was beneficial to Ye Feng. In Ye Changming's heart, Ye Feng's place was equal to that of the Lineage. Since it was something beneficial to his son, he naturally would not stop him.
Fortunately, Ye Feng had not told his father that his Bone Structure had reached Earth Grade Low-Rank. Otherwise, there was no telling whether his father would still agree to let him go to the Snow Mountain Sect. After all, throughout the Ye Family's entire history, not a single clansman had possessed Earth Grade Bone Structure. As long as one did not perish midway, such Bone Structure would inevitably allow its bearer to step into a realm above the Heavenly Origin Realm.
Half a month later, his father Ye Changming escorted him to the Snow Mountain Sect's residence. Though the Snow Mountain Sect had yet to begin recruiting disciples, Ye Feng had a way to join it. After all, he had spent more than a hundred years in the Snow Mountain Sect, and few people understood its inner rules better than he did.
He quickly began acting. With just a few Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, he opened the doors of several Snow Mountain Sect Inner Disciples. Before long, he came into contact with an Elder and expressed his wish to join the Snow Mountain Sect. Once his Earth Grade Bone Structure was detected, the Snow Mountain Sect's high-level Elders were stunned.
In less than ten days, Ye Feng became Liu Rusi's True Disciple once again. It was also the first time he had seen Jiang Wen—the wife he had lived with for over a thousand years in the Simulation—in reality. Jiang Wen was three years older than him at this time, but she was still only an eleven-year-old girl. She possessed none of the mature charm he remembered, and that did not refer only to her personality, but to every aspect of her.
When Jiang Wen first saw Ye Feng, she also formed a very favorable impression of him. It was not as though she fell for him at first sight, but that good first impression undoubtedly lowered the difficulty of winning her over later by quite a bit. Ye Feng could not help sighing at the benefits of being handsome. People's principles really could run after a pretty face. With a face like his, he did not look like a bad person at all.
Ye Feng also finally understood that, over these past few days, no matter how he cultivated, his speed could never surpass the accumulation he had gained from his Simulations. Since that was the case, he might as well relax and do other things.
There were still four or five days until the next Simulation. Relying on his understanding of Jiang Wen, Ye Feng took the little girl around Yicheng City to have fun, and the bond between them rapidly grew closer.
Time soon reached the next month. This time, Ye Feng did not begin the Simulation at dawn. Instead, he slept deeply. By the time the sun had risen high the next day, he knew little Jiang Wen would come looking for him in another two hours.
He immediately opened the Status Panel. Seeing that the number of Simulations had refreshed, he smiled at once.
[System, begin Simulation.] [Simulation begins. Detected 1800 remaining Points from the previous Simulation. Obtained Temporary Talent: Condensing Liquid Jade Nectar. Every ten years, the host can secrete a certain amount of Bloodline Essence. These liquids may be given to those with the same bloodline as the host. After consuming them, the recipient's cultivation will be raised according to the host's current strength, and they will have a chance to break through their realm. The host cannot consume them.]
Ye Feng: "???"
He always felt that this talent was somewhat improper. Though it looked quite powerful, something about it felt off. What exactly is this liquid? Forget it, at least it is not disgusting to me. A talent randomly drawn with more than a thousand Points cannot possibly be too bad, right? Though he said that, he still felt a little uneasy inside. After all, he had never randomly drawn such a wild talent before.
