The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal-Chapter 1067: An Ordinary Life
"Ye Feng, what’s wrong with you?" Yu Jie noticed that Ye Feng seemed to be lost in thought and hurriedly waved her hand in front of him.
"Ah!" Ye Feng came back to his senses, "Nothing, I just thought your hand looks really beautiful, as if it contains some magic."
Ye Feng finally understood something.
Back when they were in Mortal City, Yu Jie had grabbed his hand and shouted for him to run outside to take refuge.
At that time, he had no power to resist.
Now that he thought about it, Ye Feng understood that it was because Yu Jie’s hands contained the Power of Reality, like some kind of magic, that kept him still and made him involuntarily follow her out of the city.
Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Yu Jie was taken aback.
"Magic?"
She tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said,
"Now that I think about it, my hands really are quite interesting. Whenever I focus on doing something, I can do it very well, it really does seem like magic."
Ye Feng pondered for a while and said, "Why don’t you show me right now, to broaden my horizons?"
He also wanted to see to what extent hands wielding the Power of Reality could reach.
"Sure!" Yu Jie grabbed Ye Feng’s hand, took the Big Yellow Dog, and ran out of the wooden house to the fields.
Here grew an abundance of crops.
Juicy red tomatoes, golden rice, plump sweet corn, robust black sugarcane, lush green mulberry trees...
The entire valley, covering several dozen acres, was neatly managed by Yu Jie alone.
The yield of each crop was astonishingly high.
"Ah, found it!"
On a head of cabbage, there was a big green caterpillar crawling; it was quite fat, obviously well-fed.
Yu Jie placed her hand on the caterpillar, gently stroked it, and softly said,
"Big green caterpillar, could you please stop eating the fruits and vegetables I grow? They are all my hard work! Could you go help me eat the weeds instead?"
Hearing this, the corners of Ye Feng’s mouth twitched as he admired Yu Jie’s somewhat absurd idea.
At the same time, he also thought Yu Jie was very brave.
Generally, girls would not dare to touch bugs but would shy away from them, and if a bug crawled on them, they might even start dancing frantically on the spot.
But Yu Jie was not afraid.
At this moment, Yu Jie had already put the caterpillar back on the cabbage.
The next moment.
A miraculous scene occurred.
The caterpillar, twisting its plump body, landed on the weeds on the ground and started munching away.
"Ha ha, it worked again!"
Yu Jie was so happy that she clapped and jumped on the spot like a child, then turned to Ye Feng, "Looks like, my hands really are amazing, even the old Wild Boar listens to me!"
"Wild... Wild Boar?" Ye Feng was stunned.
"Yes!" Yu Jie looked towards the overgrown area beside the valley and shouted, "Piggy, come help me eat the weeds!"
Swish, swish, swish!
The bushes shook wildly, and then, a strong Wild Boar covered in pine resin came charging like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, but it did not trample the crops and ran along the ridge.
Halfway there.
The Wild Boar conveniently picked up a wildflower with its mouth, walked up to Yu Jie, raised its head, and offered the flower to her.
"Piggy, you are being naughty again!"
Yu Jie took the flower, tucked it beside her ear bun, and gently stroked the Wild Boar’s head.
"Oink oink!"
The Wild Boar closed its eyes, enjoying itself immensely.
"Go on, help me with the weeding!"
After massaging the Wild Boar for a while, Yu Jie waved her little hand, and the Wild Boar twisted its plump buttocks, grazing in the fields.
"How many animals have you tamed exactly?" Ye Feng couldn’t help asking.
Yu Jie pulled out a flute and blew it hard towards the entire valley, causing a "swish swish swish" sound all around.
Then, numerous animals and insects poked their heads out.
There were King Cobras, kingfishers, pangolins, wild boars, wild horses, wild oxen, butterflies, bees, bears, and more.
"There are even King Cobras?" Ye Feng was flabbergasted.
This young girl, Yu Jie, truly is fierce!
She lived alone in such a vast valley, yet she wasn’t afraid at all. Instead, she managed dozens of acres of land and even had obedient venomous snakes by her side, which was terrifying!
"No wonder it’s the Power of Reality, forcibly altering reality itself, so powerful and utterly unimaginable!"
Ye Feng’s heart churned like turbulent waves.
He increasingly realized that following Yu Jie was the key to breaking through the last challenge of the Heavenly Venerable’s Hall.
"Ye Feng, brother, next, I’ll teach you how to make ink treasures! Oh, and I have many more unique skills! Since you’ve decided to stay here, I’ll teach them all to you!"
Yu Jie took Ye Feng’s hand and led him to a small courtyard on the high ground, entering a wooden hut where she taught him to collect pine resin ash, put it in water, steam, and filter it to form ink stick.
Ye Feng didn’t hesitate at all; he did everything as instructed.
However, without the Power of Reality, no matter how meticulously he worked, the results could only be considered top-quality, and were not comparable to Yu Jie’s.
"The ink stick is ready, next, I’ll take you to pick mulberry leaves and raise silkworm babies."
Yu Jie, holding Ye Feng’s hand and carrying a bamboo basket, ran towards the distant mulberry forest.
Following Yu Jie, Ye Feng learned a lot.
From planting mulberry trees, raising silkworms, making ink treasures, papermaking, making rice cakes, crafting brushes and inkstones, building furniture, weaving fabric, firing ceramic bowls, farming, transplanting rice, harvesting rice, to brewing wine...
Ye Feng had learned almost everything about the secular world.
In the blink of an eye.
Since Ye Feng’s arrival here, more than three months had passed, yet in the real world, only an hour had gone by.
On the sea surface.
Shi Lei, Shen Yu, and other disciples were looking at Ye Feng, who was meditating on a black stone pillar, not knowing what had become of him.
"An hour has passed in the outside world, so it must have been over three months inside, the Sect Leader must have settled down in the city by now."
"Hopefully, all is well with him!"
"What do you think the Sect Leader is doing in there?"
"Sect Leader is capable of anything, but his best skill is probably teaching, I feel he might end up in some merchant’s household, teaching the young ladies and young masters."
"Very likely!"
Shi Lei and the others began discussing.
...
In the valley of Shennong Village.
Ye Feng took a bite of a sour and sweet tomato, then smashed the straw and added other ingredients, stirred it in water continuously, and made it into a paste that was used to make toilet paper.
By the end of the day, he could make ten pounds.
"Ye Feng, brother, your skills are getting better," Yu Jie came over wearing a straw hat, looked at the toilet paper drying nearby, and nodded in satisfaction.
"How could they not improve, learning from you?"
Ye Feng smiled.
He wore a straw hat and put on a white long shirt handmade by Yu Jie. His eyes sparkled, and his handsome brows made him look remarkably elegant, even while working, giving Yu Jie a sense of amazement.
"Ah, my face is so hot!"
Suddenly, Yu Jie covered her face and quickly ran away, washed her face with the cool stream water, and her intense heartbeat gradually calmed down, and her face was no longer as hot as before.
In the courtyard.
Ye Feng looked at the stacks of toilet paper on the table and felt inspired.
"Is this what they call creating reality with one’s own hands? Or, perhaps, is this the true essence of the Power of Reality?"
Ye Feng fell into deep thought.
After more than three months of labor, he found that his hands had gradually become different.
They contained a certain kind of unique aura.
That was... the Power of Reality!
However, this power was still very weak, only allowing Ye Feng to faintly feel it, but he couldn’t exhibit it.
"I wonder how much longer I need to practice before my Power of Reality can be as strong as Yu Jie’s and be capable of easily altering reality."
Ye Feng picked up a bunch of raisins, eating them while watching the sun about to set behind the western mountains.
The days of men farming and women weaving flew by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
In the fields.
Ye Feng and Yu Jie were harvesting rice together.
"Ow, that hurts!"
Suddenly, Yu Jie clutched her abdomen, her thin body swaying, and she nearly collapsed.
