Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

"It is indeed a bit small... The size of the space inside the Naxuan Ring should be related to those strange grooves carved..."

Ye Fan put his arms behind his head, "It's just that there is no way to solve it for the time being... According to the apprentice of the weaponsmith, the secret of making the groove is in the Yuanzheng Palace... But that place doesn't seem to be accessible casually... And even if you go in, you don't know how to find it..."

"Forget it, Xiaodouya, let's ignore these for now~ We have obtained so many Xuanqi stones, let's practice well first~"

"it is good!"

...........

After that, Ye Fan never went to the Weaponsmith School to be an apprentice, but practiced Xuan Qi with Liu Mengying and A Xin in the dense forest of Qinhuai City.

During this period, no one in the Weapon Building Hall approached Ye Fan. After all, there were too many people like Ye Fan who, after being an apprentice for a while, felt that they could not learn anything and saw no hope, so they ran away. This was also the reason why Ye Fan and others were able to easily apply for the job successfully before...

...........

One day at noon,

"Swish! Chih!"

As a flaming flying knife was thrown out, a huge rock in the distance exploded in an instant.

"Yeah, big brother, I broke through to the Marquis level!"

Seeing this, Liu Mengying cheered immediately, because the mysterious energy condensed and remained in the body without dispersing, which was the sign of the marquis level.

Although she was able to shoot long arrows of flaming energy before, they could not be condensed into a very stable shape, and they were all large and rough flames that would disintegrate at a long distance... But her flying knife just now was very stable...

"Yeah! Well done!"

Hearing this, Ye Fan, who was carrying a huge rock on his shoulders and sweating profusely, immediately turned around and gave Liu Mengying an affirmative look.

.........

After Ye Fan and the other two had a hearty meal, they rested under the shade of a tree.

"Sister Axin, what's wrong with you? Are you worried?"

Liu Mengying handed Ah Xin a sweet water popsicle that had just been frozen in the Naxuan Ring and spoke.

"Uh... nothing..."

Ah Xin was slightly surprised. She turned to face Ye Fan, then back to face Liu Mengying, "Mengying, has Ye Fan's training always been like this..."

Ah Xin had a look of obvious confusion. "I can understand that you only practiced the changes in the properties of the profound energy and some conventional attacks without any techniques...but Ye Fan's practice...I have never heard of it before...It seems that he directly absorbed the profound energy...But I don't see Ye Fan practicing with profound energy, or practicing profound skills..."

"I'm not sure...but that's how big brother practices~"

Liu Mengying scratched her head. "As for me... since I couldn't practice since I was a child, my father didn't teach me any profound cultivation techniques or skills. My elder brother said he would help me find a suitable technique, but he hasn't found one yet. He told me not to dwell on the technique, and that the most important thing is to comprehend and practice profound energy!"

"And my elder brother said that there is a very powerful force in my body, which seems to be fire-attributed profound energy, but it is not quite the same... If I rashly practice a certain technique, it might limit the use of that power..."

Liu Mengying quickly explained to Axin.

"That's it..."

…………

The night falls,

After dinner, Ye Fan, Liu Mengying and A Xin strolled along the streets of Qinhuai City.

"Brother, there's four-fruit soup for sale over there. Let's go buy a cup!"

Before she finished her words, Liu Mengying pulled Axin and trotted towards a crowd of people.

"Hey, stop!"

Ye Fan was walking slowly forward, thinking about the grooves in the Naxuan Ring and the Dragon Vein Heavenly Book map in his mind. Suddenly, a familiar male voice sounded from behind him.

He turned around and found a fat man with triangular eyes. It was Lin Yongye, who had wanted to be a tour guide for him and Liu Mengying when they first came to Qinhuai City a while ago, but failed and then mocked and abused them.

"You...Lin Yongye?"

Ye Fan frowned slightly, "Why did you shave your hair?"

Ye Fan wanted to laugh because Lin Yongye had a lot of hair before, but now after shaving it off, a big fleshy bump was exposed on his forehead, and there was a red fleshy bud on the fleshy bump. When he was talking just now, the fleshy bud was trembling, which was quite funny...

"Boy!"

Lin Yongye naturally noticed the smile on Ye Fan's face. He glared and roared like a wild beast, "Boy, you owe me five hundred taels of tour guide fee. It's time to pay it back!"

"Five hundred taels for the tour guide fee? Did your head get caught in the door?"

Ye Fan looked puzzled, "When did I ask you to be my tour guide? And you want 500 taels as tour guide fee!?"

"If I say yes, then yes!"

Lin Yongye shouted loudly, and the fleshy buds on the big meat bag on his forehead trembled a few times again.

Ye Fan didn't pay attention to Lin Yongye's ferocious gaze. He stretched out his finger curiously and flicked the fleshy buds on Lin Yongye's forehead...

"Clap!"

The flesh bud was flicked by Ye Fan's finger, and it swung violently, hitting Lin Yongye's bald head several times. The flesh bud suddenly became redder... and the whole meat bun also turned red... The scene was extremely funny... Many passers-by laughed after seeing it...

"Boy, I'm going to kill you!"

Lin Yongye was furious, earth-attributed profound energy surged from his body, and he threw a powerful right fist straight at Ye Fan's chest.

"Oh!"

Ye Fan took a step forward, grabbed Lin Yongye's fist, and pulled. Lin Yongye, with the earth attribute aura surging, fell straight down and smashed into the ground. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't get out...

“Ah, Yongye, why don’t you come over? This little bitch is bullying me!”

At this time, a sharp female voice came into Ye Fan's ears. He turned his head and found that the scream came from a stall selling four-fruit soup. There was a burly woman who looked like a butcher. Next to the woman was Liu Mengying who looked indignant, and A Xin who frowned slightly.

"What nonsense are you talking about, woman? It was you who wanted to cut in line, but I didn't let you and you scolded me!"

"Go away, I want to buy four-fruit soup!"

Liu Mengying was very dissatisfied because she and Axin had been waiting in line for a long time, and then a guy showed up to ruin their mood.

"Humph, cutting in line? I'm Huang Yuanyuan, a famous lady from a wealthy family here. How could I possibly cut in line? It's obviously you, little bitch... smack!"

Before Huang Yuanyuan could finish her swear words, she was slapped in the face. It was Axin who was next to Liu Mengying who did it.

"You... you dare, two bitches... I will tear you both to pieces..."

Huang Yuanyuan, who was slapped in the face, immediately became furious, and water-attributed mysterious energy emerged from her body, while fire-attributed mysterious energy also emerged from Liu Mengying's body.
