Chapter 167 - 23

Chapter 23: Chance EncounterQian Daoliu stood in the center of the church, silent for a long time, the palm holding the envelope trembling slightly, indicating that his heart was not calm at this moment.The Elders of the Elder Hall did not know what had happened, only that one day, a powerful and majestic aura suddenly erupted from the direction of the church.Since that day, Qian Daoliu had become taciturn, often with a dull look in his eyes, as if recalling something or feeling regretful.And all of this had nothing to do with Ye Feng....More than a month had passed since they parted ways in Heaven Dou City.For the past month, he had been walking around aimlessly.He had also worried whether Qian Daoliu would dispatch the Elders of the Elder Hall to look for him.But after a month with no movement, he gradually set his mind at ease.To be honest, writing those two letters was a bit impulsive, but he did not regret it.Before transmigrating, the actions of that grandfather-and-grandson pair had left him full of question marks, holding in a breath of anger, and he had long wanted to scold them out loud; after finishing the letters, his mood became much more comfortable.At this moment, Ye Feng was in the Star Dou Great Forest, because he had learned to self-condense his spirit ring early on.Ye Feng did not need to hunt Spirit Beasts, so he had not entered the Star Dou Great Forest before.He really liked the environment of the Star Dou Great Forest; this was a primeval forest that had never been developed by humans.It was very similar to the working environment before his transmigration.If on that day, he broke through to become a Titled Douluo, was invincible in the world, and began to explore the path to ascend to immortality, perhaps he would find a place here to live in seclusion.Walking to the side of a river, Ye Feng's eyes lit up. Having plunged headfirst into the forest for days, he had not washed up for a long time.He immediately took off his clothes, put the old clothes into his spirit tool, and then leaped into the river with a bound.The cool river water wrapped around Ye Feng's body, refreshing and comfortable, and he involuntarily narrowed his eyes.He was in the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest, where thousand-year Spirit Beasts were extremely rare, so he was not worried about encountering danger.However, he didn't need to worry about the threat of Spirit Beasts, but human "threats" were not taken into consideration by him.Just as Ye Feng was enjoying this rare comfort, in the distance, on the other bank of the river, chirping laughter came over.Moreover, the laughter was getting closer and closer.Ye Feng immediately realized what was about to happen, and instantly rushed to the bank, wanting to put on his clothes before they arrived.But things backfired; he was still a step too slow.Just as he took out the change of clothes from his spirit tool, he was caught red-handed by the arriving people.The young girl first looked stunned, and then an extremely penetrating scream was sent out.It made people's eardrums ache.This scream attracted everyone's gaze, and they all cast their attention here.Ye Feng's expression became awkward, and he put on his clothes with the fastest speed in his life.Standing aside with an embarrassed face, being seen completely naked by so many people all at once, his old face blushed slightly for a moment.This wasn't even a bathhouse.The young girl walked towards the person dressed as a teacher with an excited expression, glaring angrily at Ye Feng, and said:"Teacher, that person is acting like a hooligan."Hearing this, Ye Feng hurriedly retorted."Young lady, that words are incorrect. What happened between you and me is purely a misunderstanding. I have been traveling for many days, exhausted physically and mentally, and happened to find a river to wash up in, never expecting to collide with your team."The young girl was still glaring angrily at Ye Feng, pointing at Ye Feng and scolding:"Stinking hooligan, you dirtied my eyes, and yet you still think you're justified?"As she spoke, she was about to cross the river, looking like she was going to beat him up.A young man who looked somewhat similar to the young girl walked out from the side and pulled her back."Little brother, my younger sister is unruly and doesn't know the rules. I apologize to you on her behalf."Afterward, he whispered a few words in the young girl's ear.Immediately following that, he shouted to Ye Feng on the opposite bank of the river:"Little brother, we are about to make lunch. Would you be willing to join us?"Hearing this, Ye Feng looked up at the time. Indeed, it was time to eat, so he nodded in agreement.He directly lifted his foot forward, stepped on the river, and walked towards the opposite side step by step.This trick left everyone dumbfounded.Huo Wushuang's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise:"Little brother's trick is truly extraordinary.""I just didn't want to get my clothes wet."Ye Feng waved his hand with an indifferent expression."I am Huo Wushuang of Blazing Academy. We are a team from Blazing Academy here to obtain a spirit ring.""My name is Ye Feng, a free wanderer traveling everywhere."After finishing his self-introduction, he casually caught a pink fist that was smashed towards him.Huo Wushuang frowned and reprimanded Huo Wu:"Huo Wu, have you made enough trouble?"Hearing this, Huo Wu reluctantly withdrew her fist with an unwilling expression.Ye Feng didn't react much; as someone who was over thirty years old combined in two lifetimes, he wouldn't stoop to getting angry with a little girl.Besides, Huo Wu still had a sense of propriety; that punch didn't use spirit power, and any Spirit Master could catch it.Ye Feng quickly threw this trivial matter to the back of his mind.Next, everyone began to prepare lunch, and Ye Feng took a look.Although the ingredients were very rich, their cooking skills were too poor.They only knew the most basic things: roasting the meat until cooked and then sprinkling some salt.The main emphasis was just that it was edible.Ye Feng shook his head, found Huo Wushuang, and asked him for some ingredients, stating that he was a chef and wanted to treat them to a wonderful meal.Huo Wushuang was very surprised. He could tell that Ye Feng was a Spirit Master, and his strength was not weak, so he wanted to make friends with him.But he never thought that he would be a chef.Few Spirit Masters would go and learn other secondary occupations unless it was a hobby.Ye Feng indeed liked cooking. Before his transmigration, because it was just the grandfather and grandson living together, as he grew a bit older, he started taking on household chores and cooking.As time passed, his cooking skills were already no less inferior to the head chefs of those hotels.There was no problem with him saying he was a chef.Hearing that Ye Feng was a chef, Huo Wushuang immediately handed all the ingredients over to him.He also knew their own cooking skill level, and having a chef cook was for the best.Ye Feng took out cooking utensils from his spirit tool and set up an iron rack and a large pot.The Spirit Beast meat provided by Huo Wushuang was a lot, which was the food for their entire team.Therefore, Ye Feng also divided it into two cooking methods: one for stewing and one for roasting.Finally, he drizzled it with his own specially prepared sauce.Soon, the alluring aroma of meat permeated the air, making everyone's index fingers twitch with appetite.Ye Feng made a few more vegetarian dishes and baked some bread before announcing that lunch was officially served.The cooking process only took 10 minutes. This was because Ye Feng used fire-attribute spirit power to accelerate the process.This was an accidental discovery during one of Ye Feng's cooking sessions, likely due to consuming the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and blazing apricot delicate silk.He could now convert the spirit power within his body into fire-attribute spirit power and ice-attribute spirit power.And because it originated from two Immortal Herbs, regardless of whether it was the ice or fire element, it was very close to the extreme attributes.In the original work, Tang San did not experience this situation.Ye Feng guessed that it was because his spirit power itself was attribute-less, making it the easiest to change.Moreover, due to the increase in the spirit ring's age and the effect of the Spirit Ability, his spirit power was extremely pure, which was why he could make the ice and fire elements approach extreme attributes.
