Transcending Heavens: My Cheat Code is Myself

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Uncle Nine patted his eldest disciple on the back affectionately, reached into his pocket and took out a talisman folded into a triangle, handing it to Chen Feng. "How could I let you take any risks? This is a talisman I carefully crafted. Only if that monster dares to get close to you will it be immediately driven back by my talisman! You can rest assured!"

Chen Feng glanced at the triangular amulet in front of him with some skepticism. "It's not that I don't believe you, Master, it's just that this afternoon, that ghost almost hugged you, and I didn't see the amulet in your bag shining brightly or anything like that..."

"Take it, go now." Uncle Nine's face hardened when he saw Chen Feng's hesitant look. "Would your master lie to you? Once this monster is lured out, all you need to do is shout for help, and your master will capture it. If you don't go now, don't blame me for using drastic measures."

As he spoke, Uncle Nine rolled up his sleeves.

Chen Feng:.......

"Master, look at all those people in Li Family Village. Why don't we just pick someone randomly? I don't think I'm that masculine. Maybe that ghost wouldn't want to eat me," Chen Feng said, sounding aggrieved.

"What kind of talk is this? They paid us to come, how can we expect them to send people?" Uncle Nine frowned and shook his head. "Cultivators should lead by example. How can we sacrifice our fellow cultivators instead of ourselves? Besides, you will be facing these demons and monsters in the future. How can you be so timid and lack courage? If you are so unworthy of being taught, how can I pass on the Maoshan lineage to you?"

"........"

Chen Feng was speechless for a moment. Although he was afraid of ghosts, he was also very interested in the direct lineage of Maoshan. It seemed that Uncle Jiu was planning to use this to test him.

After a moment of inner turmoil, Chen Feng gritted his teeth. "Damn you! I, Chen Feng, will never let you get away with this!"

"Okay! Master, I'm off! Please take good care of yourself while I'm gone!" Chen Feng said, his eyes filled with tears.

"My good disciple!" Uncle Jiu's eyes filled with tears, reluctant to part.

"master!"

"Disciple!"

"master!"

"Disciple!"

"master!"

"Disciple!"

"division...."

"Go!" Uncle Nine kicked Chen Feng in the butt without hesitation. "Master my foot! When will you stop nagging like that?!"

Chen Feng stumbled and was kicked out of the grove. He rubbed his backside, clutching the talisman his uncle had given him tightly. He had no choice; it was the only thing he could believe in, whether he wanted to or not.

Chen Fengshen trudged along the soft muddy riverbank, his eyes darting around nervously, afraid that a female ghost might suddenly appear and startle him. However, the riverbank was eerily quiet, without even the chirping of insects or the croaking of frogs, making it seem unusually silent.

"That's strange. There's not even a chirping of insects or a croaking of frogs by the river. It's very unusual and something's not right," Chen Feng muttered to himself, trying to bolster his courage.

However, the next moment, in the quiet night, the sounds of frogs croaking and insects chirping suddenly rang out, coming one after another.

"........"

Chen Feng chuckled. Good heavens, I just said I didn't have any and you're already here?

"That's strange. There's not a sound of anyone washing clothes by the river. Something's definitely not right."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sounds of washing clothes could be heard in the distance, with long wooden mallets rhythmically striking the stones on the riverbank.

"That's strange, there's nothing by the river..."

........

In the woods.

After Chen Feng walked away, Uncle Jiu began to fiddle with the compass in his hand, when suddenly a noisy sound came to his ears.

It was bustling and crowded, as if it were in a busy city center.

"What's going on?" Uncle Nine walked out of the grove with a surprised look, and then saw the angry female ghost chasing after his eldest disciple, looking like she was determined to fight to the death.

"Master! Help!" Chen Feng cried as if he had seen a lifeline. He ran over, terrified! This ghost is no joke!

It all started just now.

Chen Feng watched as the ghost began to mimic various sounds like a fool, and he couldn't stop laughing to himself.

In just a short while, the riverbank was filled with the sounds of washing clothes, barking dogs, crowing roosters, meowing cats, and quacking ducks—a lively scene indeed. But strangely, Chen Feng remained the only person on the riverbank throughout the entire ordeal…

Chen Feng suddenly had a whimsical idea and said:

"That's strange. There's no one reciting tongue twisters by the river. Something's definitely not right."

However, after waiting for a long time without any increase in activity, Chen Feng suddenly realized and hurriedly added, "The tongue twister is something like, 'Black fertilizer volatilizes and turns gray, gray fertilizer volatilizes and turns black,' and so on."

Sure enough, after Chen Feng explained, a storyteller's voice suddenly rang out from the riverbank, "The black fertilizer will work!"

"Black fertilizer recovery meeting..."

"The black fertilizer will volatilize..."

The storyteller's voice was incoherent for a long time, and before long, even the croaking of frogs and barking of dogs became somewhat halting. Chen Feng chuckled at this.

Suddenly, all sound ceased. A flicker of anger flashed across Chen Feng's reflection in the river, followed by a gurgling sound as countless bubbles rose and ripples spread...

I'll kill you, you bastard!

A female ghost, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with fair, extremely fair, and exceptionally fair skin, suddenly emerged from the water. Her delicate, fair hands were covered with sharp, scarlet nails, and her face was filled with rage.

With both hands outstretched, sharp fingernails spread out, and she grabbed at Chen Feng with all her might.

"Oh my god!" Chen Feng exclaimed.

However, he was prepared. With a leap, he made his escape on the spot. He hadn't acquired any of the other abilities of the Grim Reaper, but his Yin-Yang Eyes were incredibly useful. Even if the female ghost was intangible, she couldn't hide from his eyes. His vision was comparable to real vision, making it impossible for her to sneak up on him.

"My god, this female ghost is no joke. If you're bad, practice more! It's just a tongue twister, right? I can recite it." Chen Feng complained as he ran. "Black fertilizer volatilizes and turns gray, gray fertilizer volatilizes and turns black. It's that simple."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the female ghost, who had been hesitating about whether to chase after him out of the river, became furious. Her eyes turned crimson on the spot, and she left the river without hesitation to chase after Chen Feng.

"My god! Why are you still chasing me! Master, are you even teaching me anything reliable?!" Chen Feng turned around and was scared half to death. He ran away as fast as he could, cursing under his breath, "If you're so capable, why don't you just go to the village and feast? What are you trying to trick me into doing?!"

"You dare to say that! I'll kill you!" The female ghost's voice came from behind, her tone filled with venom, as cold as the winter wind, carrying a chill that went deep into his bones. Chen Feng couldn't help but shiver, and had no doubt that he would suffer a miserable fate in her hands.

"Kill me? Go ahead and eat my yellow talisman!" Chen Feng was furious. Did they really think I had no way to retaliate? Do you even know who my master is? You dare to breathe so loudly here!

As he spoke, he took out a yellow talisman from his sweaty palm and threw it fiercely at the female ghost who was getting closer and closer to him.

The female ghost was startled when she saw the yellow talisman. She paused and tried to dodge, but Chen Feng was not about to let her have her way. He threw it with all the physics knowledge he had learned over the decades. Based on the principles of mass acceleration, parabola, and so on, there was no way the ghost could dodge it!

"Die!" Chen Feng roared. Having witnessed Uncle Nine's talisman water saving people, Chen Feng still had great faith in Uncle Nine's methods. This strike pierced through the female ghost!

Bang!

The female ghost was slightly taken aback, and so was Chen Feng.

It did indeed pierce through the female ghost, but the yellow talisman was completely useless! It actually passed right through her!!

There was no golden light, no stinging female ghost!

Master!! Something terrible has happened!! Are you kidding me?!

"Um, I was just kidding, hehe!" Chen Feng smiled shyly.

The female ghost smiled shyly, "Hehe!"

"Ah!" Chen Feng screamed and ran away as fast as he could!
