Evil Master and Disciple

The flames in the sky dissipated, and the onlookers on the ground also dispersed.

Ye Feng piled all the silver and banknotes on the table.

Sixteen handicrafts were sold for four thousand eight hundred taels.

This is actually a losing business.

Because Ye Feng put out sixteen Sky Fire Talismans, oh no, he even used one at the beginning to attract the audience, a total of seventeen.

Ever since Ye Feng used a talisman to defeat Zhou Pingjing in the arena, the price of talismans in the Lingbao Shop in Xianling Valley has skyrocketed.

It is indeed a good deal to buy a Heavenly Fire Talisman for three hundred taels of silver.

Of course, Ye Feng didn’t lose out either.

He spent more than a dozen talismans to do a strong advertising for his newly opened shop, so that more people would know that a brand new spiritual treasure shop would be born in Xianling Valley, which would play a key role in opening up the market for Ye Feng's shop in the future.

Ye Feng sighed and said, "I didn't calculate the amount correctly. I'm two hundred taels short of five thousand taels. I lost this bet. According to the agreement, if I lose, all the silver from the sales will belong to Miss Xiaodi. You can keep it."

Chen Xiaodi had never seen so much silver before.

She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word, just kept shaking her head.

Ye Feng said, "Just keep it if I tell you to. If you feel bad about it, you can just treat me to dinner tonight."

Even a fool could see that Ye Feng was intentionally helping Chen Xiaodi.

It is definitely not a problem to sell a dozen Heavenly Fire Talismans for five thousand taels.

Chen Xiaodi is not a fool.

She said she didn't want anything.

Even though Ye Feng had a stern face, she still refused to accept it.

Qin Luo came over with the cooked noodles and said, "Xiao Di, take it. This kid is doing a good deed."

In the end, Chen Xiaodi put Ye Feng away and earned 4,800 taels of silver in the blink of an eye.

Ye Feng was actually quite emotional.

Only recently had he come to realize how cruel the social hierarchy was.

In my previous life, I was taught from a young age that as long as I studied hard, I could change my destiny and even my class.

Ye Feng used to believe this firmly.

In recent months, he has doubted that view.

In his previous life, he was at the bottom of society, a beast of burden.

And here, as the eldest disciple of Master Yulong, he comes into contact with the world's top elites.

He possesses vast resources and privileges above all others. In this world, he is not a beast of burden, but a member of the privileged class.

The longer he stayed in the privileged class, the more he realized that it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to change their class.

Chen Xiaodi is a beast of burden in this world. She earned a hundred and eighty taels a year from her business, but then she bought some elixirs and became penniless again.

With just a few moves, Ye Feng could earn wealth that Chen Xiaodi could never dream of in a very short time.

Because Ye Feng has resources and a huge reserve of talismans.

He didn't care about losing a few talismans.

For ordinary outer disciples, those talismans might be luxuries that they could not afford with their lifetime salary.

This is fate.

If you don't want to accept your fate, you can only fight for your life and make a class leap like a carp jumping over the dragon gate.

Ye Feng helped Chen Xiaodi. Not only did he see many aspects of an old friend in this little girl, whose name was very similar to that of the old friend, but he also saw the tenacity of the little girl to cross classes.

"Delicious! Delicious, delicious! Really delicious!"

When Ye Feng was sighing, the voice of Miss Mozhu came to his ears.

Looking down, I saw that the little girl had finished half a bowl of noodles in just a few bites, and was holding a roast duck leg in her hand. She was eating it with such delicious taste.

Ye Feng said, "Miss Mozhu, there's no need to be so exaggerated. It's just a bowl of noodles. You're a voluptuous ghost, not a starving ghost! Eat slowly. No one will snatch it from you."

Mo Zhu took a moment to glance at him and said, "You know my situation very well. I've forgotten the taste of food. Can't you let me eat more?"

Ye Feng rolled his eyes.

Chen Xiaodi beside her quickly said, "Miss Mozhu, you can eat as much as you want. It's my treat."

Chen Xiaodi is also a kind girl. When she heard Ye Feng say that the green-clothed beauty in front of him was a ghost, she was worried that Miss Mozhu would be angry, so she quickly spoke out to try to help Ye Feng.

Unfortunately, she was totally overthinking it, because the girl Mozhu who was eating and drinking at the moment was indeed a seductive ghost.

San Zhier was furious when he saw Mo Zhu eating the food that originally belonged to him like a glutton.

He didn't care whether this female ghost was his mother's master or not, and he roared and squeaked at Mo Zhu.

Mo Zhu could understand San Zhi'er's words and said unhappily, "Your mother raised you well, you stingy little bastard. If this isn't enough for you, just ask for some more roast duck. It's this little girl's treat anyway."

Sanzhier thought that Mozhu had stolen his food, so he started to compete with Mozhu.

A ghost and a beast were competing in eating food. The scene was really eye-catching.

Ye Feng shook his head.

In comparison, Chen Xiaodi's eating manners are more elegant.

She chewed slowly and happily told Ye Feng her story.

She is no longer afraid of Ye Daba. Instead, she thinks Ye Feng is the best and kindest person in the world.

Through Chen Xiaodi's narration, Ye Feng also roughly understood the life experience of this little girl.

Her home was not far away, in a small mountain village called Chenjia Village to the east of Tianyun Mountains.

There are many children in the family, six in total. She is the third child, with two older brothers, a younger brother and two younger sisters.

My family is very poor and we can’t even get enough to eat.

Like many disciples of the Yunhai Sect, she entered the Yunhai Sect after passing the outer sect examination.

But her original intention was very simple. She just wanted to leave by herself and save food for one person at home.

At the same time, you can also eat your fill.

After entering the Yunhai Sect, she had no money to build relationships, so she had been working in the outer sect and had never even been to Xingluo Peak.

The place where she currently lives is actually quite far from Xianling Valley, and she has to walk an hour on the mountain road every day to get back to her residence.

My current daily work is to cut bamboo and make screens.

It is the thing placed next to the bathtub in the room of every Yunhai Sect disciple.

It was because she was in contact with bamboo all day that she gradually mastered some carving techniques.

Her cultivation level was not high, and she had almost no resources for cultivation. She came here to set up a stall at night just to save money to buy a Spirit Gathering Pill, which might help her reach the Flying Realm as soon as possible.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Spirit Gathering Pills seem to be very cheap. A low-grade Spirit Gathering Pill only costs a few dozen taels of silver, and a high-grade one costs just over a hundred taels. The silver you earned today is enough for you to buy a lot of Spirit Gathering Pills.

However, the Spirit Gathering Pill isn't very effective for cultivation; it only gathers spiritual energy within the meridians. "Xiao Di, you have a good foundation and have practiced for several years... I'll give you something that will guarantee you reach the Sky Control Realm within a month."

"what?"

Ye Feng took out the thousand-year-old fairy fungus that he had left behind from the black silk bracelet.

He took a few bites whenever he had the chance recently, but this thousand-year-old fairy ganoderma was bigger than a millstone, and he hadn't seen much less of it after eating it for several months.

Ye Feng took out a dagger, cut off a large piece of the Millennium Immortal Ganoderma, handed it to Chen Xiaodi, and said, "This thing is much more useful than the Gathering Spirit Pill. If you take a small bite every three days, I estimate that you can reach the Sky Control Realm in a month at the latest. This amount is enough for you to eat for half a year. Maybe after half a year, you can reach the God Control Realm."

Chen Xiaodi blinked her big eyes and looked curiously at the black thing that looked like a big black mushroom.

She asked curiously, "Master Ye, is this thing really so magical?"

"Of course, this is a very rare natural treasure. We in Yunhai Sect don't have many of them."

"Oh, natural treasures? They must be very valuable..."

Qin Luo came over with two more bowls of noodles. Seeing this scene, he frowned slightly.

Then he said, "Xiao Di, this is a thousand-year-old immortal ganoderma, very rare. Why don't you thank Master Ye quickly?"

Chen Xiaodi didn’t know what the Millennium Fairy Ganoderma was, but she knew that it must be very valuable.

He shook his head and said, "Forget it, this thing is too expensive, I don't want it!"

Ye Feng was amused and said, "Do you know how many people have fought for this thing? I gave it to you and since you don't want it... take it. I've never given something away and never taken it back. If you feel you owe me something, my shop will open in a few days and it will probably be very busy. Just come and help me out."

Chen Xiaodi thought about it, put down her chopsticks, and put away the piece of fairy fungus that Ye Feng had cut for her.

Then he said, "Okay, I will definitely go and help you."

If she were to take Ye Feng's things for free, she would feel a certain burden in her heart.

But if I help Ye Feng, then it would be an equal exchange.

It was almost three o'clock in the morning, and there were fewer disciples in the Fairy Valley.

Qin Luo's noodle stall gradually became deserted.

Miss Mozhu and Sanzhier ate dozens of bowls of noodles and more than a dozen roast ducks before ending the fight over who was the glutton.

Sanzhier, the most invincible glutton in Tianyun Mountain, finally met his match tonight.

It actually lost to the female ghost Mozhu.

This made Sanzhier feel very depressed.

Seeing that they had finished eating, Mo Zhu stood up and called out, "Uncle Qin!"

Qin Luo walked over, and Mo Zhu immediately took out two silver ingots and presented them to him with both hands.

Qin Luo smiled and said, "Xiao Di, you don't need so much. Ten taels will be enough."

Chen Xiaodi shook her head and said, "Uncle Qin, Master Ye helped me earn a lot of money today. You've been very kind to me during this period and even let me set up a stall here. Please accept these."

Qin Luo looked at the sensible little girl, smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, I will save the extra money for you first."

Chen Xiaodi nodded happily.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Feng said, "It's almost three o'clock in the morning. Now that we've finished eating, let's leave. Miss Mo Zhu, do you want me to take you back?"

"No need, I'll go back by myself... Oh, I was so busy eating that I almost forgot about the important things."

"What business can you have?"

"I'm here to find Qin Luo."

Qin Luo, who had collected the silver and was about to leave, stopped and said, "Miss, you said you came to see me before, what is the reason?"

Mo Zhu looked at Qin Luo with a squint and said, “Are you really the handsome Qin Luo?”

Ye Feng smiled and said, "I can prove that he is! What do you want from Uncle Qin?"

Mo Zhu said: "I am here to bring a message to Qin Luo on behalf of the senior."

Qin Luo frowned slightly and said, "What?"

Mo Zhu said: "Senior asked me to tell you, is the bamboo sword still there?"

Ye Feng looked puzzled. He didn't know why the ancestor asked Mo Zhu to come to Xianling Valley with only such strange words.

But Qin Luo's face suddenly changed at this moment.

There was a gleam in his eyes.

He said hoarsely, "Little girl, you...what did you just say? Were you sent by the ancestor from the ancestral hall in the back mountain?"

Mo Zhu nodded and said, "Yes."

Qin Luo's expression suddenly became excited. He asked, "What else did the ancestor say?"

Mo Zhu thought for a moment and said, "He didn't say anything. He just asked me to come to you and ask if you still have the bamboo sword. If it is, he would like to use it again.

Okay, I've got your message across. Your noodles are really good. I'll come back for more when I have the chance. I'll go back and report now."

After saying that, Miss Mozhu walked out of the noodle stall contentedly and flew towards the west.

(There is one more chapter to come.)
