Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 34
Chapter 34 Qiu Sha
A tall figure appeared beside Zhu Zequn. He had neutralized his palm strike just now to prevent Zhu Zequn from being smashed into meat paste.
His expression was gloomy. Lu Zhongyue saw that Zhu Zequn had long since lost his human form and his body was in a state of devastation. Even if he had a miraculous pill, he would not be able to fully recover. A wave of naked killing intent rushed towards Ye Feng, and his Xiantian Qi burst forth.
“Brat, you’re so ruthless! You actually continued to attack an injured person!”
Lu Zhongyue pressed towards Ye Feng step by step, ready to attack at any time.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Three shadows descended in succession, blocking Ye Feng’s path. Three teachers of Heavenly Spirit Academy appeared, one of them was the yellow-clothed old man guarding the library hall. A terrifying Xiantian Qi protected Ye Feng.
“Elder Lu, didn’t you just say that it was just a spar between juniors? It was just an experience. Why should you take it seriously?”
An instructor from the Heavenly Spiritual Academy sneered, as if he was mocking. When Zhu Zequn was arrogant and domineering just now, Elder Lu did not stop him. Now that he was crippled by Ye Feng, he actually stood up. The three instructors were extremely relieved and ruthlessly humiliated.
Seeing that the three of them were protecting Ye Feng and it was impossible to kill him, Lu Zhongyue snorted coldly and stared fixedly at Ye Feng’s face.
“Little brat, I hope you can continue to live well!”
Lu Zhongyue picked up Zhu Zequn and left the crowd. If he stayed, he could only receive more insults. It was better to leave as soon as possible.
“Ye Feng is becoming more and more terrifying. If he continues to grow like this, even we won’t be his match!”
The three dragons and one phoenix stood high up and quietly watched all of this. The corners of Fire Dragon Peak’s lips curled up. Although they were unwilling to admit it, Ye Feng’s axe just now had truly shocked their hearts.
“That’s right! An axe actually chopped Zhu Zequn flying away! How terrifying!” Mei Xiaoyao put away her charming bones with a solemn expression. Seeing the axe just now, she didn’t know what she was thinking.
“A month ago, his strength wasn’t so terrifying. Less than a month has passed since his strength has actually increased to such a terrifying level. Just how did he cultivate?” Liang Xinyu sighed.
“This is not the most terrifying thing. What is terrifying is his temperament. Facing anything, he seems to be unable to stop his footsteps. Even in the face of experts, he is still not afraid. This is the most terrifying thing. His heart of martial arts surpasses any of us.”
Kou Chenlong, who was ranked first among the elite disciples, spoke. The three of them were shocked. They ignored this question. They only saw that Ye Feng was strong and did not pay attention to Ye Feng’s temperament. What was most important about an expert was of course his temperament. He was destined to grow to what extent.
However, they did not know that Ye Feng had already shown mercy just now. If he had attacked with all his might, the power of the three-day flying dragons would have already destroyed Zhu Zequn and even turned him into ashes.
Ye Feng’s name instantly spread throughout the Heavenly Spiritual Academy, especially when punishing Zhu Zequn angrily. It was extremely satisfying, making more people believe that Ye Feng’s strength had already reached the top five of the elite disciples.
Ximen Xuri woke up slowly. He already knew what had happened just now. His mouth was bitter. After a month of hard cultivation, he thought that he could catch up with Ye Feng. At the very least, he could narrow the gap. Only now did he know that the distance between them was getting farther and farther.
Ye Feng ignored the discussions in the surroundings and returned to the courtyard to digest his experience during this period of time. In addition, he had sufficient resources, but he was at ease cultivating for a period of time.
This time, Ye Feng had gained quite a lot. He had exchanged the fur of the demonic beast for spirit stones. It seemed that Ye Feng was planning to refine the Bone Cleansing Pill and clean out the impurities in his bones, allowing his talent to rise another step.
“Dong dong dong!”
Outside the courtyard, there was a knock on the door. Ye Feng stopped cultivating and got up and walked out.
“Squeak!” Ye Feng pushed open the courtyard and a familiar shadow appeared in front of him.
“Kid greets Teacher Li!” Ye Feng was very respectful. It was Teacher Li standing outside the courtyard.
“There’s no need to be so courteous. Aren’t you inviting me in?”
Teacher Li knew everything about what happened just now. Seeing Ye Feng, his face was filled with joy. Indeed, he had not misjudged him. Sooner or later, Ye Feng would soar into the sky.
“Please!” In the Heavenly Spiritual Academy, Ye Feng only had Instructor Li confiding in him. He was also the person Ye Feng trusted the most, so he hurriedly let him into the courtyard.
The hall wasn’t very big, but it could accommodate four or five people. Teacher Li sat on a chair, his eyes sweeping across Ye Feng’s body. Ye Feng was very respectful.
“You’re in the limelight this afternoon!” Teacher Li said with a smile.
“You already know.” Ye Feng smiled bitterly. As for the limelight, he really didn’t think about it. He just couldn’t bear to see Zhu Zequn’s arrogant appearance.
“Very good. I’ve already told the Academy Master. The Academy Master is very happy. This time, you’ve won honor for the Academy. The Academy Master has made an exception to reward you with one thing!”
Teacher Li said to Ye Feng with an appreciative tone.
“Thank you, Academy Master, thank you, Teacher!”
Ye Feng expressed his gratitude.
“When the Hall Master learned that you were using an axe weapon, he purposely took out his personal property and asked me to give this to you. I hope you like it.”
An extremely exquisite axe appeared in Teacher Li’s hand, shining brightly. It was countless times higher than the axe on Ye Feng’s waist.
The axe blade was as wide as a palm, and there were many patterns carved on the back of the axe. The axe handle and axe were one body, so when used this way, true energy would not be retained, and it would be easier to display a martial skill.
The axe formed an arc with an axe groove on it. It seemed like it was also a killing weapon.
“Good weapon!” The moment Teacher Li took it out, Ye Feng was attracted. This weapon was simply tailor-made for him.
“This is made of deep sea black gold, mixed with horned dragon essence blood. It is a rare weapon. This is the best existence among mortal weapons, second only to spirit weapons!”
Teacher Li stroked the axe and let out a sigh of admiration.
“Is this for me?”
Ye Feng couldn’t wait any longer. If he had this weapon, he would be like a tiger adding wings. His strength would increase by 30%. Even if he faced the early Xiantian stage, he would still have the strength to fight.
“Of course it’s for you, as a reward this time!”
Teacher Li saw Ye Feng’s impatience and handed the axe to Ye Feng.
“Tsk tsk, good weapon!” After Ye Feng took it, he injected his True Qi into it. The lines on it flickered, and his True Qi didn’t feel stagnant at all. A ray of Qi shot out from the axe blade.
Chi!
The aura shot out through the axe and submerged into the wall. A long mark appeared on the wall, several inches deep.
“Great, with this weapon, I can display my strength even more!” Ye Feng caressed the axe gently and liked it very much.
“Does it have a name?” Ye Feng did not know the origin of the axe.
“Qiu Sha!” Teacher Li said.
“Good name!” Ye Feng liked this name and possessed killing intent.
“I have something for you. Next, it’s time to say something urgent!”
Teacher Li interrupted the excited Ye Feng.
Put the axe into the storage ring. Now that his strength has increased, he is no longer afraid of anyone coveting him. He no longer conceals the storage ring and looks at Teacher Li with a puzzled expression.
“What is it?” Ye Feng said.
“Five or six more days is the time for elite disciples to train. I want you to participate. This is also the intention of the Academy Master!”
Teacher Li said slowly.
“You’re talking about entering Heavenly Phenomenon Valley and gathering Purple Crystal Grass.” Ye Feng asked.
‘”That’s right. Don’t underestimate that every time you enter the Valley of Heavenly Phenomena, the ones who can enter are the strongest amongst the elite disciples. Whether or not you will be able to come out alive after entering is unknown.”
Seeing Ye Feng’s careless expression, Teacher Li’s tone became heavier and his expression became solemn.
“Is there any danger?” In the past, Ye Feng was only an outer sect disciple. Although he had heard of some of them, he was not very clear about what was going on.
‘”Danger and opportunity coexist. The Valley of Heavenly Phenomena is very peculiar. After entering, the spiritual energy is rich and there are spiritual herbs everywhere. Only the Valley of Heavenly Phenomenon can grow this kind of Purple Crystal Grass. Refining the Xiantian Pill, this Purple Crystal Grass, is an indispensable spiritual herb. To put it bluntly, it is for the Purple Crystal Grass.”
Teacher Li had reached the point where his real goal was to gather Purple Crystal Grass.
“That’s why!” Ye Feng seemed to understand a little.
“The Violet Trapa Grass only grows ten plants a year. It is distributed in the Heavenly Valley. Whoever gets more will also be able to concoct more Xiantian pills in the future. It will also be able to create more Xiantian experts.”
Teacher Li continued to explain to Ye Feng. With Ye Feng’s comprehension ability, he quickly knew everything.
Every year, after these elite disciples entered Heavenly Phenomenon Valley, they began to gather Purple Crystal Grass. During the process of gathering, there would definitely be battles. After all, there were only ten Purple Crystal Grass, which would cause some people to die inside.
The Purple Crystal Grass he brought out would be refined into Xiantian Pills. After consuming it at the peak of the Houtian ninth layer, it would be able to smoothly advance to the Xiantian realm. It was a rare elixir that could not even be bought at the cost of resources.
Which sect didn’t want their side to be strong, so there was a battle. Every year, they fought for the Purple Crystal Grass. This year, it was here again. Teacher Li’s purpose was to let Ye Feng enter the Valley of Heavenly Phenomenon and collect the Purple Crystal Grass.
“What’s the benefit of going in?” Ye Feng did not directly agree. Although Teacher Li had personally come, Ye Feng still asked clearly.
“Of course there are benefits. Everything you gather inside belongs to you. Apart from the Purple Crystal Grass, whether it’s the inner core of a demonic beast or the spiritual herb, all of it belongs to you. Gathering three Purple Crystal Grasses will receive a special reward, a Xiantian Pill, and the academy will also reward you disciples who enter.”
Teacher Li said the reward, and Ye Feng’s eyes shone.
The Heavenly Valley was rich in spiritual energy. There were countless spiritual herbs and fruits inside. If he could bring them out in large quantities, he would be able to obtain more resources to cultivate. Relying on the outside for missions, Ye Feng did not know when he would be able to gather enough resources to cultivate to the Houtian ninth layer, let alone the Xiantian realm. After all, he needed nine times as many resources as others.
More importantly, if I can gather three Violet Crystal Grass, I can obtain a Xiantian Pill. If I give it to father, then father will be able to advance to the Xiantian realm, and his status in the clan will be eternal, Ye Feng thought in his heart.
“Alright, I promise!”
Ye Feng agreed straightforwardly. Such a condition was extremely tempting. Ye Feng could not refuse. Although it was dangerous, if he wanted to climb to the peak of martial arts, he had to have a tenacious and unyielding heart.
