Chapter 1013: This Young Friends Cultivation Is Qu

Wei Donghai was immediately shocked, his heart stirred with waves.

This kid, his cultivation is probably not simple.

Hmm, he does have some talent.

Even though he didn't notice anything else, Wei Donghai was already somewhat interested.

Taking the gourd that Yi Feng handed back, he casually joked, "Kid, fishing here is quite nice, but unfortunately, Cuihu Lake is full of small fish, all common species. Eating them isn't very interesting. How about we go hunt for something more exciting, like some wild game?"

This struck a chord with Yi Feng.

For the past few days, he had been eating farm-style dishes. While they were tasty and fresh, they lacked richness.

Every meal was farm eggs, every day was a rural feast.

Is this how people are supposed to live?

Yi Feng was starting to get a bit tired of it and missed the days of hunting wild game and barbecuing.

Seeing that he had found a kindred spirit, he immediately nodded and agreed.

"Old Uncle Wei, you make a good point. But do you know where we can find some wild game?"

Seeing that Yi Feng had taken the bait, Wei Donghai pretended to be hesitant.

"Well, that's a bit difficult."

"I do know a few places to hunt wild game, but they're either too far or a bit dangerous. Not easy to get to..."

Dangerous?

The long-unheard word stirred Yi Feng's heart.

"I'm not afraid of danger. The more dangerous, the more delicious the game!"

This kid really has some courage. Worth a try.

Wei Donghai was even more satisfied and continued to probe, "Well, in that case, let's go hunt some demon beasts. I know a place with many of them."

"Among them, there's a type of demon beast that, although extremely fierce, has a taste that even immortals would crave!"

Yi Feng couldn't hold back any longer and immediately packed up his fishing rod!

Seeing his eagerness, Wei Donghai smiled faintly.

With a wave of his right hand, ripples appeared in the air. He stepped forward, and Yi Feng, seeing this, was momentarily stunned, thinking to himself that his cultivation was indeed impressive, and quickly followed.

When the two reappeared, they were at a hidden location on the edge of Yunxing.

Black sand filled the sky, with no sign of life.

Standing on the soft sand, Yi Feng was completely baffled.

"Is there really anything delicious in a place like this?"

It wasn't that he was overly suspicious, but looking at the desolate, barren land, it was hard to believe there could be anything dangerous here.

Wei Donghai lowered his bamboo hat and chuckled, "Hehe, young man, don't be impatient. When the sandstorm stops, you'll naturally see the delicacy..."

This wasn't a lie.

This place was called the Barren Wasteland, filled with spatial turbulence, extremely unstable. Ordinary creatures couldn't survive here, but there was a type of incredibly powerful Void Beast that slipped out from the spatial rifts.

These Void Beasts were terrifying, not only tough-skinned but also possessing strength comparable to saints. They could even devour spatial turbulence here, using it as nourishment to grow.

In other words, this was the breeding ground for Void Beasts.

Wei Donghai knew all this, which was why he brought Yi Feng here.

Hunting wild game was just a pretense; the real goal was to test Yi Feng's capabilities.

After all, they couldn't take on a disciple without knowing anything about him.

Although this place was dangerous, it was still within his control. Even if something went wrong, there would be no life-threatening risks.

After all, not many Void Beasts could slip through the countless spatial rifts, and their growth here was extremely slow.

Otherwise, Yunxing would have long become a paradise for demon beasts.

Yi Feng, unaware of all this, was solely focused on finding something delicious and dangerous, growing increasingly impatient.

Finally.

The raging black sand stopped, and the sand in the distance suddenly began to sink!

The ground trembled violently, forcing the two to hover in the air and watch from afar.

From the sinking area, a pair of giant pincers emerged, radiating a dark metallic sheen, resembling a robot.

Yi Feng was stunned, feeling a sense of déjà vu.

After an even more intense tremor, a massive black shadow burst out from below, sending black sand flying and roaring deafeningly!

Seeing the domineering figure, Yi Feng was dumbfounded.

"Isn't this just a crab? Those pincers must weigh thousands of pounds, enough to eat for three years!"

Wei Donghai smiled faintly, exuding the demeanor of a master.

"Kid, you're still too inexperienced."

"This is a type of Void Beast, resembling a crab but incredibly powerful, with an impenetrable body. Only the last eyelash is edible, and each Void Beast has only two edible eyelashes."

"But it's a delicacy even immortals crave, with immense benefits, known as Dragon Whiskers!"

Yi Feng had heard of eating heads, feet, legs, and tails, but eating eyelashes?

Even if the crab was huge, what could one eyelash do?

And calling it Dragon Whiskers? The world truly is full of wonders.

Yi Feng was dumbfounded, his head filled with questions.

Seeing his naive expression, Wei Donghai stroked his beard and chuckled.

"Kid, you must be very careful. If you're not up to it, I'll step in."

Although he said this, Wei Donghai was already imagining Yi Feng's defeat.

After all, the Void Beast's shell was incredibly tough, impervious even to ordinary saint-level weapons. Having lived in turbulent spaces for so long, their strength was formidable, and ordinary people would be terrified upon first sight.

Relying solely on cultivation to fight it was impossible to win.

Losing to such a monster wasn't shameful.

If he could last half an incense stick's time, he would be considered promising.

A junior who could barely win would be considered a prodigy, with limitless potential in the future!

Using the Void Beast to test Yi Feng's mentality, cultivation, and combat strategy was a perfect method.

Wei Donghai became more and more self-satisfied, stroking his beard with a smile.

Exuding the demeanor of a master in control.

Seeing his serious expression, Yi Feng didn't ask further. He looked at the imposing giant crab, constantly stirring up black sand and wind, almost blotting out the sky.

It seemed really powerful!

Feeling a surge of excitement, Yi Feng pulled out a large blade and charged forward!

Seeing this, Wei Donghai frowned.

From the start, Yi Feng had disappointed him.

Charging in without any strategy, just swinging his blade, was quite reckless.

Even with high strength, being brave but foolish wasn't the mark of a promising talent.

But the next moment.

A pleasant sound came from the distance.

"Snap!"

With that sound, the Void Beast was split in two!

Behind him, in mid-air.

Wei Donghai's hand, which had been stroking his beard, trembled violently, almost pulling out a handful of beard!

Sss!

In pain and shock, Wei Donghai took a deep breath!

Holding a few broken beard hairs, his eyes were wide with disbelief.

The Void Beast was incredibly powerful.

Although this one was ordinary, it had the strength of a saint, and its tough skin would have taken even him some effort to deal with.

He had originally planned to step in and help when Yi Feng was exhausted...

But instead.

One slash, and it was over?

Was this young man's attack too straightforward, and his strength a bit too overwhelming?

The plan was a bit messed up.

Perhaps he had been too hasty?

Wei Donghai was at a loss, unconsciously landing on the sand, clutching his beard in the wind, utterly bewildered...

Not far away.

Yi Feng stared at the giant crab, several zhang tall, with a "that's it?" expression.

Having heard all the tales about Void Beasts, he had thought they were incredibly powerful. He had even taken out his large blade, ready to fight seriously.

But with one slash, it was split in two, like cutting a watermelon.

This wasn't impressive at all.

Yi Feng was a bit disappointed, looking at the two halves of the giant crab with a blank expression.

Only when he saw the translucent eyelashes did he feel slightly comforted, at least there was some reward.

With a light swing of his large blade.

"Swish! Swish!"

Two sounds later, the eyelashes were cut off.

Two large eyelashes landed in his hand, their size and weight quite satisfying, like holding two bamboo shoots!

The crab was pretty weak, but the yield was decent.

Although they were called two eyelashes, they looked enough for a meal.

Yi Feng felt a bit comforted, a smile appearing on his face.

But before his smile could fully form, the eyelashes suddenly began to shrink, as if deflating, visibly getting smaller and thinner.

In just a few breaths, they turned into two thin strands, like noodles!

Seeing his harvest shrink drastically, his heart bled.

Yi Feng was dumbfounded and quickly turned around!

"Old Uncle, what's going on? Did I see wrong?"

Hearing the puzzled question, Wei Donghai snapped out of his daze.

Yi Feng ran over in confusion, looking slightly panicked.

Seeing his flustered appearance, Wei Donghai finally regained some of his masterly demeanor!

Regaining some face, he discreetly dropped the beard hairs he had been holding.

Continuing to stroke his beard, he maintained his masterly demeanor.

"Hehe..."

"Young man, you're still too inexperienced... Once the Dragon Whiskers are separated from the body, they naturally release spatial turbulence. Such a delicacy is hard to find. If it were easy to obtain hundreds of catties, it wouldn't be so precious, would it?"

Yi Feng nodded in understanding.

"So it's just inflated. What a pity..."

Others would go through great lengths to find one or two, possibly even risking their lives, losing thousands of years of cultivation!

But this kid.

Easily obtained two, and here he was, acting all regretful.

Inflated, pity.

What arrogant words!

Wei Donghai's eyelids twitched, forcing a smile to maintain his masterly image.

"Hehe, you don't need to be so disheartened. Void Beasts are rare, and obtaining these two Dragon Whiskers is already a great fortune. I see that your cultivation is quite impressive, and you have potential."

Although he spoke calmly, Wei Donghai was inwardly ecstatic.

Having seen countless people, he had never encountered a young man with such talent.

Although his exact cultivation level was still unclear, his combat strength was already somewhat outrageous, surpassing ordinary saints. With some guidance, his future achievements would be limitless.

In the future, he might even surpass them.

No wonder Fu Nantian, that old man, valued this kid so much!

He truly had something extraordinary.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Wei Donghai felt a sense of pride, as if he had discovered a treasure early.

He continued to display his masterly demeanor, preparing to take Yi Feng as his disciple.

"Young man, although your cultivation is impressive, your reckless approach needs reconsideration. In my opinion, there's room for improvement, and your greed also needs to be restrained."

"If..."

Just as he was about to make his grand offer, Yi Feng seemed to ignore him.

Looking down at the two Dragon Whiskers in his hand, he was filled with regret and frustration.

"Ah, after all that effort, I only got two. One for each of us, we probably won't even taste anything. If only there were a few more, that would be great!"

Wei Donghai's mouth twitched, almost cursing.

He was seriously trying to take on a disciple here!

This future disciple, not paying attention was one thing; geniuses tend to be a bit arrogant, which was understandable.

But being so engrossed in the regret of the Dragon Whiskers, with no regard for anything else.

That was too much!

Was his future master not even worth two Dragon Whiskers?

This whole trial was like a fart, wasn't it?

Seeing Yi Feng's regretful expression, still muttering about the Dragon Whiskers, Wei Donghai's temper flared, ready to teach this young man a lesson!

"Hehe!"

"Young man, do you think Dragon Whiskers are common? Void Beasts are extremely rare, how could it be so easy to find more..."

Before he could finish, the entire sand sea began to tremble violently!

Boom!!!

The ground shook terrifyingly, like waves, making it increasingly difficult to stand.

The terrifying commotion was several times more intense than before!

The two were startled, quickly hovering in the air!

Looking in shock, the sand sea churned and surged, a massive pit forming dozens of miles wide, like a natural disaster!

Wei Donghai's expression turned grave, stroking his beard as he spoke solemnly.

"It seems there's an even stronger Void Beast appearing!"

Another one?

That's great, otherwise the harvest would have been too small.

Yi Feng's eyes lit up, putting away the Dragon Whiskers and focusing intently.

The sinking area continued to expand, as if an enormous body was churning beneath the sand sea. Even the previous Void Beast's corpse sank like a pebble, disappearing in an instant.

Then, a deafening roar shook the heavens!

"Roar!!!"

The massive pincers, dozens of zhang in size, emerged from the sand sea, blotting out the sky.

As the silver pincers appeared, the surrounding space began to distort, a terrifying aura spreading, as if the void itself was fragile, rippling like water.

Wei Donghai's face turned pale with shock!

"Silver Pincers that Split the Void..."

"This is bad! It's a fifth-tier Void Beast!"

Although Wei Donghai was a fifth-tier saint, he was no match for a fifth-tier Void Beast. These monsters, having devoured spatial turbulence and comprehended spatial power, were incredibly powerful!

If this monster used its innate abilities, even with his full strength, he might not be able to win.

Now, he had to protect his future disciple, unable to fight at full strength, making victory impossible!

With just one glance, Wei Donghai, relying on his experience, understood the situation.

As a master, he had to protect his future disciple!

Wei Donghai stroked his beard solemnly, his expression resolute!

"Kid! This monster is extremely powerful, we must not..."

Before he could finish, he heard a "whoosh" beside him!

Yi Feng had already landed on the ground, charging towards the terrifying silver beast, laughing excitedly!
