Chapter 38: Had Enough
Wuhua Palace, Peach Forest Sea, Star Vortex Formation.
“Chi? Chi?”
Ye Changsheng called out for the Scarlet Wast in the Peach Forest Sea.
But there was no response in the quiet peach forest, as if the Scarlet Wast had vanished.
“This guy is actually hiding from me. Did I really scare him last time?”
Ye Changsheng knew the Scarlet Wast couldn’t have disappeared, and at this time,

it wouldn’t be sleeping.
“What a bother,” Ye Changsheng intentionally raised his voice. “I finally got some spiritual items from outside and wanted to feed Chi out of kindness. Since it doesn’t appreciate it, I’ll feed it to other demonic beasts.”
“Hiss, hiss, hiss!!”
A commotion arose in the desolate peach forest, and a colossal creature rushed out, as if the canteen had opened. The Scarlet Wast appeared.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss? Hiss, hiss!”
The Scarlet Wast lowered its head before Ye Changsheng, looking smug, and even planned to flick its tongue to lick Ye Changsheng.
“Stop, stop, stop! Don’t lick me. How many times have I told you, your saliva is poisonous. It can poison a cultivator in the Nascent Soul realm to death.”
Ye Changsheng quickly stopped the Scarlet Wast.
The Scarlet Wast nodded hastily, gazing at Ye Changsheng with expectant eyes, like a pet.
“Alright, alright, here you go.”
Ye Changsheng took out the Small Qiankun Bag, which contained trophies seized from the White Emperor Sword Sect.
Most of them were spiritual items, spiritual artifacts, some pills, and rare herbs.
However, Ye Changsheng wasn’t interested, and he couldn’t use them.
But it was different for the Scarlet Wast. Its eyes almost sparkled with love upon seeing these items, salivating with desire.
“Eat.”
“Hiss, hiss, hiss!”
After receiving Ye Changsheng’s permission, the Scarlet Wast began to devour heartily, enjoying the lavish spiritual energy feast.
Meanwhile, Ye Changsheng leaned against a peach tree to rest.
Three days had passed since returning to Wuhua Palace.
Ling Xiaoxing and Ye Changsheng presented 100,000 spiritual stones, perfectly completing the transaction. The upper echelons of Wuhua Palace found no flaws in it.
Thus, this matter concluded, and both Ling Xiaoxing and Ye Changsheng received rewards from Wuhua Palace.
Ye Changsheng hoped to gain the trust of Wuhua Palace’s upper echelons by completing these missions, thereby becoming an Inner Disciple. This would allow him to gather more information about the Heartbreak Flower in the future.
“I’m really a bit tired,” Ye Changsheng said, a blade of grass in his mouth, gazing at the sky under the shade of the peach tree.
It was absolutely safe in the Peach Forest Sea. The existence of the Scarlet Wast deterred other disciples from approaching, so he wouldn’t be disturbed here and didn’t need to wear a mask to disguise himself.
As clouds drifted across the sky, Ye Changsheng suddenly thought of his useless Master.
Based on his usual experience, it was time for Mo Baizhi to contact him, but he hadn’t received any news yet.
Recalling her words when she left in a hurry last time, it seemed Mo Baizhi had encountered some difficulties that she couldn’t openly discuss.
Ye Changsheng had a good impression of Mo Baizhi.
After all, she had saved him when he had nowhere to go and taught him skills.
Ye Changsheng had always disliked owing others too much. He was determined to repay the kindness bestowed by his Master.
And furthermore…
“I hope nothing happens to Master,” Ye Changsheng said worriedly. “If anything happens to you, I’ll be finished too. I’ll never be able to shake off the identity of the Demonic Prince!”
“Hiss, hiss?”
Ye Changsheng heard the Scarlet Wast calling him.
He looked up and saw that it had finished most of the food, leaving behind only a piece of metal.
The value of this metal was clearly high, and the Scarlet Wast was asking if it could eat it.
Ye Changsheng remembered. This was the Star Profound Meteorite Iron mentioned by the White Emperor Sword Sect before.
He picked it up and examined it carefully. On the speckled patterns, he seemed to see a vast galaxy.
“This is actually a Saint Grade spiritual item.”
Saint Grade spiritual items were rarer than Spiritual Grade spiritual items. Multiple Saint Grade spiritual items rarely appeared within many years, and their possession was extremely limited.
He recalled that some time ago, it was rumored that a meteor had fallen onto Qixia Isle, and many Sects had paid attention to it.
“So that’s how it is. The White Emperor Sword Sect’s spoils from their venture into the wilderness was this Saint Grade spiritual item, the Star Profound Meteorite Iron.”
The White Emperor Sword Sect was not only famous for its Sword Cultivators but also for its sword forging.
Especially for Spiritual Sword type Magical Treasures, they were very popular among Cultivators, with shops trading them in various regions of Qixia Isle.
Zhou Bujue’s purpose this time was likely to obtain this Star Profound Meteorite Iron from the wilderness and hand it over to the Sect, so that the White Emperor Sword Sect could forge divine weapons.
“But this is of no use to me,” Ye Changsheng said, looking at the rare spiritual item without much interest.
After all, he was still a True disciple. He was already tired of Thousand Snow’s collection.
In Wuji Immortal Realm, Saint Grade spiritual items could be used as toys.
“Hiss! Hiss!” The Scarlet Wast showed enthusiastic interest.
Ye Changsheng smiled. “Chi, I’ve fed you so much. Can you turn into a beautiful girl?”
“Hiss?” The Scarlet Wast was stunned.
“Aren’t there many legends in Qixia Isle like this? Demonic Beasts can transform into human form. You are a Ferocious Beast, so turning into a beautiful girl shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
There were many formidable individuals among the穿越者 predecessors.
“Dog-fucking, fox-fucking, dragon-fucking, snake-fucking, rabbit-fucking, and so on. There are too many.”
On the contrary, after arriving in this world, Ye Changsheng had never seen a demonic beast transform into human form.
The Scarlet Wast shook its head, indicating it couldn’t.
“Alright, it seems I was thinking too much.”
Ye Changsheng threw the Star Profound Meteorite Iron to the Scarlet Wast, letting it enjoy it happily.
After consuming the Star Profound Meteorite Iron, the Scarlet Wast actually showed signs of impending breakthrough.
“It’s great. You can break through just by eating, without cultivating,” Ye Changsheng sighed. “If the Elders of Wuhua Palace knew this, they would be incredibly envious.”
“Hiss, hiss!” The Scarlet Wast looked at Ye Changsheng with pleading eyes again.
“Forget it. I’m not going to guard you. It’s too troublesome. Deal with it yourself.”
“Hiss…” The Scarlet Wast was very wronged and could only rely on itself to break through to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm.
Meanwhile, Ye Changsheng yawned. Taking advantage of this rare moment of leisure, he took a nap under the peach tree.
…
In the main hall of Wuhua Palace, Luo Lihong leaned against the Palace Mistress’s seat, seemingly lost in thought, appearing somewhat displeased.
“The Soul Refining Sect actually chose to trade with us obediently. Have their teeth been pulled out? They have no fight at all,” Luo Lihong said in confusion.
After the transaction, the Soul Refining Sect set up an evil formation, intending to turn the people of Shuiyun Town into vengeful spirits. This was discovered by the White Emperor Sword Sect, and ultimately resolved by its chief disciple, Zhou Bujue.
No matter what, she felt something was very strange about it, but she couldn’t figure out what the problem was.
Could it be… that man did something? Luo Lihong thought of Ye Changsheng.
But according to Ling Xiaoxing’s report, Ye Changsheng hadn’t done anything. He had just been coasting along with her.
With his mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, he couldn’t do much.
However, her intuition and experience told Luo Lihong that this matter was far from simple.
Behind all this, there must be an unfathomable powerful being secretly manipulating everything.
