Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”

Chapter 412: Ye Fan and Ye Bufan

In a small tribe on the Chaos Continent.

Ye Bufan and Old Bull had traveled here.

"The location of the task the Patriarch mentioned should be here, right?" Ye Bufan looked at Old Bull.

Old Bull patted his own chest: "You still don't believe me? I'm the best at Spatial Walk. When it comes to directions, I'm the most awesome!"

Ye Bufan curled his lip: "You *are* a bull!"

He stepped into the small tribe first.

Immediately, people from the tribe approached.

"You two outsiders, this is the Falcon Bird Tribe. The tribe is small and does not currently offer lodging services," a sturdy cultivator said warily.

Ye Bufan waved his hand and said, "I'm here to find someone!"

"Is Ye Fan here?" Ye Bufan asked.

"Ye Fan? What important business do you have with Elder Ye?" the sturdy cultivator asked guardedly.

Ye Bufan grew impatient.

Old Bull, however, tossed out a Chaos Crystal and said, "It's nothing major."

Old Bull wore a simple and honest expression, revealing a big smile, looking very amiable.

The sturdy young man looked at the Chaos Crystal in his hand in shock. This kind of treasure was something only those at the Wuji Realm could access. If the elders refined one, they might even be able to break through to the Tai Chi Realm. This was a huge gift!

The sturdy young man dared not be negligent. He asked Ye Bufan and the other to wait a moment, then personally went to report.

Not long after, an old man at the late stage of the Tai Chi Realm walked out, accompanied by over ten cultivators at the peak of the Hunyuan Realm.

"Haha, honored guests have arrived. My apologies for not greeting you sooner. I am Falcon, the leader of the Falcon Bird Tribe. Welcome, welcome! Please, come inside!"

Ye Bufan and Old Bull calmly stepped into the tribe.

Among the crowd, Ye Fan frowned as he observed the two. He did not recognize them and had no idea why they were asking for him by name.

Inside a room, the old leader Falcon hosted Ye Bufan and the other, probing their intentions indirectly.

Ye Bufan said bluntly, "Have Ye Fan come and talk with us. It's nothing shameful!"

As he spoke, Ye Bufan released his aura. The imposing pressure of the Tai Chi Perfection stage instantly shot through the clouds, causing the old leader's expression to change.

Old Bull also chuckled lowly, similarly releasing the aura of Tai Chi Perfection, making Falcon realize the seriousness of the matter.

Thus, he helplessly lowered his head and called out towards the outside, "Elder Ye Fan, come in!"

Ye Fan stepped into the room.

Ye Bufan sized up Ye Fan. His cultivation was merely at the peak of the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and his strength didn't seem high at all.

Ye Fan clasped his hands: "You two look unfamiliar. We shouldn't know each other, right? May I ask what business you have with me?"

Ye Bufan said straightforwardly, "Simple. Our sect's Patriarch calculated that you and he have a master-disciple destiny. The Patriarch ordered us to come directly and ask if you wish to become his disciple, skipping the intermediate karmic process and getting straight to the point."

His words left both Ye Fan and Falcon somewhat stunned.

Old Bull, watching the dumbfounded pair, kindly explained, "What my junior brother means is that you, Ye Fan, after a series of events, would eventually become our Patriarch's disciple. Now, the Patriarch has foreseen the future and intends to skip the middle steps. You can just become his disciple directly!"

Ye Fan took a deep breath and asked, "May I ask what realm your esteemed sect's Patriarch has reached?"

"I don't know!" Ye Bufan said bluntly.

"You don't know?" Ye Fan was stunned.

Ye Bufan shrugged: "Just don't know."

Hearing this answer, Ye Fan instead felt the matter was somewhat credible.

Ye Fan pondered briefly and said, "Then, if I become his disciple, what do I need to do? Where do I go?"

"You don't need to do anything. Just follow us back!" Ye Bufan said.

"Good, I'll go with you!"

Falcon couldn't help but say, "Ye Fan, this sounds strange. How did you decide so quickly?"

Ye Fan shook his head: "I'm merely at the peak of the Hunyuan Realm. There's no need for two Tai Chi Perfection experts to go through such great trouble to lure me away. This is a great opportunity. I don't want to miss it either!"

Hearing this, Falcon sighed: "Alright then, Ye Fan. This is your own decision. I hope when I see you again in the future, you'll have become a great figure!"

Ye Bufan revealed a smile: "Excellent, the task can be completed! It's a pity we didn't have to use force!"

Old Bull curled his lip: "Don't jinx it, alright?"

Old Bull then said to Ye Fan, "Do you need to pack your things?"

"No need!" Ye Fan said.

"Hmm!"

Old Bull pondered for a moment, then waved his hand. A thousand Chaos Crystals appeared out of thin air on the table.

This scene shocked Falcon and also greatly surprised Ye Fan.

"Consider this Ye Fan's farewell gift. I'll pay for him!" Old Bull said with a chuckle.

Falcon gazed eagerly at these crystals. If he could absorb half, he estimated he could reach Tai Chi Perfection!

The temptation was too great for him. Even others in the tribe could achieve a leap in growth!

This was also the first time Ye Fan had seen so many Chaos Crystals. If he could obtain them, he could also break through the Tai Chi bottleneck.

Ye Bufan glanced at Old Bull, disdainful of this behavior. Spending most of his wealth just to befriend someone at the peak of the Hunyuan Realm?

Even if he's the Patriarch's disciple, he must rely on his own efforts!

A quarter of an hour later.

The three had already arrived outside the tribe.

Over two hundred people from the tribe came out to see Ye Fan off.

Ye Fan waved goodbye.

"Hurry up and follow!"

Ye Fan turned his head, saw Ye Bufan and Old Bull already walking far ahead, and quickly caught up.

"Senior Brother is called Ye Bufan?"

On the road, Ye Fan asked for their names and was astonished.

Ye Bufan said calmly, "There are countless people with the same name. You and I merely have similar names."

"That's true," Ye Fan nodded upon hearing this.

Old Bull chuckled.

The three traveled for half a day.

Suddenly, five streaks of escaping light rapidly approached from behind.

Ye Bufan looked back and saw five cultivators at the Tai Chi Perfection stage.

Ye Fan said in surprise, "Where did these Tai Chi experts come from?"

Five figures surrounded the three.

One of them looked at Old Bull, squinting his eyes, and said, "Hand over the Chaos Crystals on you!"

Ye Bufan raised an eyebrow: "Robbery?"

"You could say that!"

Ye Fan's expression turned grave. He was only at the peak of the Hunyuan Realm and would be of no use at all.

"Kill!"

The five attacked simultaneously without further unnecessary words.

"Seeking death!"

Ye Bufan sneered coldly. His long sword rose, and seven streaks of sword light descended from the sky, slashing towards the five.

Old Bull just crossed his arms, showing no intention of making a move.

Ye Fan panicked: "Aren't you going to act?"

"No need!" Old Bull said calmly.

As the words were spoken, the seven streaks of sword light slashed towards the five Tai Chi Perfection cultivators.

Each facing one streak of sword light, they were all dismissive.

But when the sword light was about to touch them, their expressions changed completely. They immediately defended and dodged with all their might, but the sword light still slashed towards them.

Under Ye Fan's incredulous gaze, the five Tai Chi Perfection cultivators were turned to ashes by five of the sword lights!

The remaining two streaks of sword light slashed towards empty space.

A cultivator was forced to reveal himself from a hidden state and blocked these two streaks of sword light.

"Wuji Realm?" Ye Bufan raised an eyebrow. "For a few Chaos Crystals, you actually come out to rob? You disgrace the face of the Wuji Realm!"

"Brat, you dare kill my men!" This Wuji Realm cultivator was furious. He hadn't realized the power of the sword light was so immense earlier, so he couldn't save his subordinates in time!

These were five Tai Chi Perfection subordinates. His heart was bleeding.

Drip!

He actually heard the sound of blood dripping.

He lowered his head to look and saw the tip of a long sword piercing out from his heart, blood flowing from it. The True Spirit within his body had already collapsed under this sword strike.

"When...?" was the middle-aged man's last thought before death.

Old Bull chuckled at Ye Bufan: "My cooperation, satisfying, right?"

Ye Fan was dumbfounded. The strength of these two Tai Chi Perfection senior brothers exceeded his imagination. And such people were merely ordinary disciples of the Seven Stars Sect.
