Chapter 9 Breaking Through the Other Shore, Enlightenment Through Tea Leaves
Shi Feng glanced at Elder Han and his team, then laughed, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear:
"The reason I befriended them is simple: he has the Ancient Sacred Body and has eaten the Sacred Fruit, so he's perfect material for alchemy. I know you've always wanted to use Ye Fan to make medicine to prolong life. If you succeed, remember to share some of the profits with me."
Upon hearing this, not only Elder Han, but also the disciples behind him changed their expressions.
Lingxu Cave Heaven is, after all, a righteous sect, and using people to refine medicine is absolutely taboo. For Shi Feng to say such things in public, neither he nor Elder Han will have a good reputation.
Some of their disciples, in particular, had heard rumors and knew that Elder Han did indeed have this idea.
Elder Han's face darkened: "My Lingxu Cave Heaven is a righteous sect, and we absolutely forbid cannibalism. You demon brat, if you can't change your ways, get out of Lingxu Cave Heaven and don't even think about dragging me down with you!"
"Don't get excited, Lao Han."
Shi Feng said, "Anyway, the other elders know what's going on with you. Who are you trying to fool here? No one will do anything to a mere rumor like this to an elder at the Divine Bridge Realm, as long as you keep your hands clean."
Elder Han's face turned ashen. If Shi Feng said such things in public, he would definitely be the first to suspect Ye Fan if he really disappeared in the future!
Although he really intended to do that.
His lifespan is running out, and he urgently needs someone like Ye Fan to refine medicine.
Shi Feng smiled and said, "I won't disturb your search for medicinal herbs any longer. I wish you find the herbs that prolong your life soon."
He left without taking Ye Fan and Pang Bo with him.
Elder Han glared hatefully in the direction Shi Feng had left, his sinister gaze landing on Ye Fan, making him feel uneasy. Finally, he led his disciples away.
Elder Han was somewhat puzzled. Was Shi Feng simply acting like a ruthless demon, or was he deliberately protecting Ye Fan after seeing through his intentions?
Saying such things in public undoubtedly makes it much more difficult for him to take action.
He recalled that Shi Feng joined Lingxu Cave Heaven around the same time as Ye Fan and the others, and learned from them that Ye Fan had a cousin who was about the same age as Shi Feng and was also a cultivator.
If Shi Feng weren't still a young man, neither aging nor shrinking, he would have suspected that Elder Li Feiyu was Ye Fan's cousin.
But that's impossible. Neither the power of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land nor the power of the Sacred Fruit can be resisted by a mere Divine Bridge Realm cultivator.
"Another Wu Qingfeng."
Elder Han looked displeased. Wu Qingfeng, who was instructing Ye Fan in cultivation, was protecting Ye Fan too much, shielding him at every turn.
He felt that Shi Feng might be disliking him and deliberately trying to embarrass him, and might not necessarily care about Ye Fan's safety, but Wu Qingfeng was indeed the biggest stumbling block on his path of alchemy.
Inside Shi Feng's cave, Ye Fan sat to the side and asked, "Brother Feng, if you do this, will he give up on using me to refine medicine?"
"Won't."
Shi Feng said, "He will die if he doesn't refine medicine, so it's impossible for him to give up. You are not a celestial seedling, so there are some things that the higher-ups of Lingxu Cave Heaven will only turn a blind eye to."
Ye Fan experienced the darkness of the cultivation world for the first time. Even after Shi Feng brought this matter to light, he was still unable to stop Elder Han's powerful hand.
"You don't need to worry about him. Old Han is like a stray dog on the street. I could kick him to death with one kick."
Shi Feng said, "He wants to prolong his life, so he not only needs you, but also needs to collect some precious medicinal herbs. When he captures you to refine medicine, it means that the medicinal herbs have been collected, and you can use the medicinal herbs to cultivate."
Ye Fan was amazed by Shi Feng's actions: "As expected of you, Brother Feng."
A month later, Shi Feng sat cross-legged in his cave, entering a deep meditative state, with Wu Qingfeng by his side.
Wu Qingfeng is a trustworthy person. Shi Feng wants to break through to the other shore and asks him to help protect him.
The first step in cultivating in the world of "Covering the Sky" is to open up the sea of suffering, reach the bottom of the sea, and connect with the wheel of life.
The Wheel of Life surges and gathers into a spring, from which divine power flows inexhaustibly, thus forming the Realm of the Spring of Life.
The sea of suffering is boundless and difficult to cross. To connect with other secret realms within the human body, a divine vein needs to be created within the sea of suffering to reach the other side. This divine vein is the divine bridge.
But the sea of suffering is endless; where will it end?
To cross the Sea of Bitterness using the Divine Bridge, cultivators must have an unwavering and steadfast mind in order to see through the void, forcefully cross the Sea of Bitterness, and reach the other shore.
Once lost, one will perish and vanish.
One day, two days, three days passed in the fog...
Shi Feng didn't know how much time had passed, but his resolve remained unwavering.
He can sense the fishing rod in his sea of consciousness at any time, using it to anchor himself and avoid getting lost.
More importantly, he firmly believed that given Ye Fan's character, if he really did something, it would be reflected back to him, and he wasn't afraid of death at all.
As time passed, Shi Feng's resolve hardened, and he finally crossed the sea of suffering, reached the other shore, and saw a pure land.
Amidst the drifting clouds and mist, a colossal celestial palace could be vaguely discerned.
That is the next realm, the Dao Palace.
Corresponding to the five internal organs and the five elements of the human body, there are five deities. If one can enlighten these deities and generate the five energies, the five elements will generate each other, resulting in incredible mysteries.
Moreover, once you reach this level, your vitality becomes extremely strong; even if only your head remains, you can survive for a very long time.
However, Shi Feng has only just reached the other shore and is still far from the Dao Palace realm.
His flesh, bones, and even internal organs withered, only to be reborn.
This is a unique transformation unique to the Other Shore Realm, which occurs nine times in total, and Shi Feng has just experienced one.
He opened his eyes, his gaze captivating and radiant, and appeared before Wu Qingfeng:
"Thank you, Elder Wu, for protecting me."
"Elder Li, you flatter me."
Wu Qingfeng said, "In fact, even without me, no one else would dare to interfere, and this precedent would never be set."
The other shore is inherently easy to lose one's way and has no sense of the outside world. If one is disturbed during the breakthrough, it is almost certain death.
Those at the Divine Bridge Realm are mostly elders of the Spirit Void Cave Heaven. If they were to do something like this, everyone would be in danger. Unless their backgrounds could directly suppress the sect leader and force him to not pursue the matter, no one would be spared.
That makes sense, but I'm not willing to gamble.
Shi Feng pulled Wu Qingfeng aside, "Elder Wu, you must have a good drink with me."
He gathered rare herbs and exotic animals to make soup, and then pulled Wu Qingfeng aside to drink.
In the following months, Shi Feng continued to wander around the Qing Emperor's tomb as usual, trying to attract the Qing Emperor's attention with the Immortal Realm Scriptures.
While they were at it, they kept watch over Ye Fan and Pang Bo as they gathered herbs.
Another bait was generated. After breaking through the Other Shore Realm, the white light on the bait was extremely dense and dazzling. Unfortunately, it still failed to produce green light. It seems that it will only be able to advance to green bait after breaking through to the Dao Palace Realm.
He fished again, and soon, a purple light appeared!
【Enlightenment Tea: Tea from the Enlightenment Tree can help one achieve enlightenment】
Unfortunately, it's only a small leaf, so the effect won't last long.
Including the three Enlightenment Tea Leaves he caught while pulling the coffin with the Nine Dragons, Shi Feng now has four. He hasn't used any of them yet, planning to wait until he gets the Emperor Scripture before using them.
