Chapter 4029 Heading to Tiansheng City

“Young Master Ye, you’re back!”

Ever since Ye Bufan left, Wei Xin and his Disciple Xia Qingying had been eagerly awaiting his return. As soon as they saw him enter, they immediately went to greet him.

“Young Master Ye, are you alright?”

Xia Qingying scanned Ye Bufan from head to toe. Only after confirming he had no injuries did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

“I’m fine.”

Wei Xin glanced behind him: “Where’s Feng Kun? That Old thing didn’t deceive Young Master, did he?”

“Both he and his son have already been killed by me…”

Ye Bufan did not hide anything from the Master and Disciple, giving them a brief and concise account of what had happened.

This included finding the ancient Immortal Cave, though he omitted any mention of the Heaven-Slaying Arrow.

It was better not to tell them about such things, as it would not only provide no benefit but could also bring them mortal danger.

Wei Xin and his Disciple were also sensible people; they asked what needed to be asked and didn’t ask what didn’t. They asked nothing about the treasures in the Immortal Cave.

They were well aware that such things had nothing to do with them, and even if they went, they wouldn’t be able to obtain them.

Ye Bufan greatly admired the character of the Master and Disciple. He then asked: “Senior, you are well-traveled and knowledgeable. Do you know of any powerful individual who can control space with the strength of an Immortal Reverent Peak?”

“Immortal Reverent Peak? Control space?”

Upon hearing this, Wei Xin shook his head repeatedly, “Among all attributes, space is the most difficult to control and grasp.

In all these years, I have never seen an Immortal with spatial attributes, nor have I heard of any Immortal Venerable who can control space.

Not to mention an Immortal Venerable, even among Immortal Emperors, very few can achieve it.”

Ye Bufan asked again: “Then do you know which Immortal Emperors can control space?”

According to his thoughts, since the method of controlling space was so rare, perhaps this person was a Disciple of an Immortal Emperor.

“This Old man also does not know.”

Wei Xin shook his head, his old face slightly flushed.

“Bao Dan Sect was originally located in a remote area, and it has been in decline for many years, so it doesn’t have much information about the outside world. It knows even less about the affairs of Immortal Emperors.”

“Oh!”

Ye Bufan had only asked casually and hadn’t held much hope, not even asking about the other party possessing a chaotic spiritual treasure.

It seemed that to know more, he would have to ask someone like Zhuge Qingyang. With his knowledge, he should be able to find some clues.

After chatting for a few more moments, Xia Qingying asked: “Young Master Ye, when will my Foundation be stable? When can I use Immortal Essence, and when can I practice Alchemy again?”

“About half a month, I suppose.”

Ye Bufan said, “Later, I will prepare some Medicinal Pills for you to strengthen your Foundation. Half a month should be enough for it to stabilize again.

However, this is only preliminary. Using Immortal Essence and Alchemy will be fine, but you still won’t be able to attempt to break through to Immortal Emperor in a short time.”

“Oh!”

This news was a mix of joy and disappointment. Xia Qingying was both happy and a little disheartened.

“Alright then, no matter what, I will still participate in the Dan Wang Competition finals. Even if I can’t get a spot in the Immortal Paradise, I can still accumulate some experience and prepare for next time.”

Ye Bufan nodded: “Very well, we will depart together in half a month.”

He was not in a hurry to leave, wanting to see if he could wait here for the Black-Clothed Man, like waiting for a rabbit by a tree stump.

To improve his Mental Energy, he needed to seek an Opportunity, and the condensing spirit fruit was close at hand. Now, it depended on whether the Black-Clothed Man would come to snatch his Sun-Extinguishing Bow.

He then wrote out a Pill Formula and refined a batch of Medicinal Pills to strengthen Xia Qingying’s Foundation.

Days passed one by one. He appeared relaxed, but his nerves were constantly tense, just waiting for the Black-Clothed Man to arrive.

But in the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and there was still no sign of the person.

Ye Bufan frowned. What was going on? Logically speaking, with a chaotic spiritual treasure in his possession, that person should not have let it go, no matter what.

But he had waited so long, and the person hadn’t appeared. Could it be that the other party knew he had set a trap, or had seen through his hidden Formation?

Logically, that shouldn’t be the case. The Formation he had set up was an Eleventh-Order Peak Formation, and it was extremely well-hidden; ordinary people wouldn’t be able to see it at all.

But no matter what, the person just hadn’t appeared, and he had no way to force it.

Seeing that the Dan Wang Competition was drawing closer and Xia Qingying had almost recovered, he finally gave up waiting and set off with Wei Xin and the other two.

Even after leaving Bao Dan Sect, he remained vigilant.

If the other party hadn’t made a move because he had set up a Formation, then they might launch a surprise attack after he left.

An enemy who controlled the rules of space was an extremely terrifying existence; he had to be extra careful.

However, ten days passed, and the Black-Clothed Man still did not appear.

“Young Master Ye, is something on your mind?”

Xia Qingying came to his side, walking alongside him.

Through their interactions over the past twenty-plus days, their relationship had grown much closer.

She looked at the man beside her, her eyes filled with curiosity and admiration.

For many days, Xia Qingying had been exchanging Alchemy insights with Ye Bufan. At first, she had approached it with a testing mindset, wanting to see how deep his Dao of Alchemy was.

She even had some thoughts of helping him, as she was an Eleventh-Order Immortal Pill Master and possessed excellent talent in Alchemy.

To repay his kindness for dealing with Feng Kun and his son, it was only right to offer him some guidance.

But after their discussions, she realized that his Alchemy attainments were far, far superior to her own. No matter what she asked, she would receive a perfect answer, even more flawless than she had imagined.

She couldn’t understand how this man could possess such high Alchemy attainments. After all these days, she still hadn’t managed to gauge his true depth; instead, she felt the gap between them growing wider and wider.

“It’s nothing.”

Ye Bufan shook his head. Of course, he couldn’t tell the truth, so he changed the subject and asked, “Where are we now, and how much further do we have to go?”

Xia Qingying said, “Young Master Ye, we have already left the territory of the Starry Radiance Sect and are now in the domain of the Tiansheng Sect. We will reach Tiansheng City in another half a day.”

“Oh!”

Ye Bufan nodded. Just as he was about to say something else, a surprised voice came from behind him.

“Is that Fairy Qingying up ahead?”

The three of them turned around and saw a young man in a white robe rushing from a distance. He had a somewhat handsome appearance, and his gaze was fixed on Xia Qingying, his eyes filled with excitement.

This person’s speed was extremely fast, and his cultivation had already reached Immortal Reverent Peak.

“Fairy Qingying, it really is you! I thought I would only meet you when I reached Tiansheng City, but I didn’t expect to see you so soon. It seems we truly are destined…”

Before he could finish speaking, a cold snort came from beside him: “Pu Tiancheng, you truly have a thick skin.

Junior Sister Qingying is clearly destined to be with me; you’re just coincidentally tagging along.”

As soon as his voice fell, another black-robed young man appeared before them. Compared to the white-robed young man, his appearance was a bit rougher.

His aura was equally powerful, clearly at Immortal Reverent Peak. When the white-robed young man saw him, the smile on his face instantly vanished: “Tong Lingbo, you are truly shameless. Is Junior Sister Qingying a name you can even utter?”
