After finishing, Ye Feng turned to leave.
However, at this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed him; it was Su Keqing.
She looked at Officer Ge and said, "Officer Ge, although Ye Feng is not part of the Dragon Guard, he has helped us several times, and was almost killed last time! If he doesn't receive a reward for this, who will help the Dragon Guard in the future?"
Officer Ge, hearing Su Keqing's words, remained unmoved.
"If you don't give him this reward, then I don't want it either! Furthermore, I will properly discuss this matter with my superiors!" Su Keqing said, pulling Ye Feng and preparing to leave.
However, Officer Ge frowned upon hearing this and finally said, "Fine! He can receive a reward, but since he is not part of the Dragon Guard, the reward will be halved!"
"What? Halved?" Su Keqing was still somewhat indignant upon hearing this.
Officer Ge nodded, "That's right. This time, the compensation and rewards for each Dragon Guard member are a bag of Purple Spirit Stones and three advanced cultivation techniques and martial skills. However, since he is not a Dragon Guard, he is not entitled to a reward! But considering his several instances of helping the Dragon Guard, I will take it upon myself to bestow upon him either a bag of Purple Spirit Stones or one advanced martial skill!"
Hearing this, both Ye Feng and Su Keqing were stunned.
What?
Bestow?
Besides, this wasn't halving it; it was reducing it by three-quarters!
Therefore, Su Keqing was very dissatisfied with these words and was about to say something, but Ye Feng interrupted her.
He said, "Alright, thank you very much! I'll take an advanced martial skill!"
It's better to have it than not!
Ye Feng ignored the two of them, picked up the martial skills, and began to examine them one by one.
The three were Gale Phantom Steps, Illusory Heaven Sword Art, and Sacred Bright Mind Method.
Gale Phantom Steps was a movement martial skill, Illusory Heaven Sword Art was a sword technique, and the Sacred Bright Mind Method was a cultivation technique for cultivating spiritual energy.
Ye Feng examined them carefully. The Sacred Bright Mind Method was a cultivation technique for spiritual energy, which Ye Feng had no use for, so he discarded it directly.
As for the Gale Phantom Steps and the Illusory Heaven Sword Art, they made him hesitate.
Because both were rare martial skills, and either one was extraordinary, making it difficult to choose.
However, Ye Feng thought about it. In terms of offense, he currently possessed the Thunder God Fist obtained from the Black Lotus Sect, so the Illusory Heaven Sword Art was probably not very necessary.
Furthermore, the Illusory Heaven Sword Art used a sword, which Ye Feng felt was not very suitable for him.
Moreover, Ye Feng remembered that he had obtained a broken copy of the Supreme Overlord Spear Art from the Black Lotus Sect, which was clearly much more powerful than this.
As for movement martial skills, the Carefree Steps he obtained from the Black Lotus Sect were for escaping and did not help much in combat, so Ye Feng decided to choose the Gale Phantom Steps.
After thinking it through, Ye Feng said, "I choose Gale Phantom Steps!"
"Alright! Take it!"
Officer Ge agreed and took back the other cultivation techniques and spiritual skills.
Next, he seemed to recall something and said, "We are about to launch an operation to eradicate the Black Lotus Sect. Do you want to go with us?"
Ye Feng heard this, shook his head, and sneered, "No! I have other matters to attend to, sorry!"
Only a fool would go!
Doing four times the work for only one-fourth the pay, he wouldn't do it.
The reason he helped before was because he was friends with Su Keqing.
But he never expected that after making such a great contribution and almost being killed by the Black Lotus Sect, he would have three-fourths of his reward deducted on the grounds that he was not a Dragon Guard. His impression of the Dragon Guard organization instantly soured.
Officer Ge saw this and didn't say much.
Ye Feng chatted with Su Keqing for a few words, and then left.
In a blink of an eye, Ye Feng arrived at the sea area of Rocky Island.
He first performed acupuncture on Qin Mingyuan and then prepared medicine for him, after which he returned to his room and used the Sea God's Trident to teleport to the Sea God Palace.
However, the moment Ye Feng disappeared, a figure appeared, scratching his head and muttering, "Strange, how did this kid disappear? There's no passage here, nor any formations!"
This figure was none other than General Meng, the Grandmaster of Heavy Swords, sent by Old Master Qin to protect Ye Feng.
Ye Feng's disappearance last time had greatly puzzled him, so he paid special attention today, wanting to see how Ye Feng disappeared.
However, to his bewilderment, he still couldn't figure it out this time. It felt as if he had vanished into thin air.
After watching for a long time without discovering anything unusual, he had no choice but to leave.
On Ye Feng's side, after arriving at the Sea God Palace, he first went to check on the black scaled egg.
However, there was still no change; it continued to absorb the Sea God's power madly.
"Sigh! Forget it, I won't bother with you! I'll study the newly acquired cultivation techniques and spiritual skills!" Ye Feng muttered to himself.
Just as Ye Feng was about to cultivate, suddenly the giant octopus Xiao Ba, the great white shark Xiao Bai, and the killer whale leader Xiao Hu also arrived.
Having not seen Ye Feng for a few days, they all rushed over, excited.
At this time, the three creatures had grown even larger. Xiao Bai and Xiao Hu had both exceeded fifteen meters in length.
And Xiao Ba was even more terrifying, reaching thirty meters from head to tentacle tip. These three were simply colossal in the water.
Ye Feng played with them for a while and was about to go back to cultivate.
But in the next second, he suddenly thought of something and muttered to himself, "Ah, right! Xiao Bai and Xiao Ba have intelligence, can they cultivate?"
Ye Feng thought carefully. Since they could absorb the Sea God's power, it should be fine for them to cultivate as well.
Moreover, there were often legends in folklore about animals cultivating into spirits. Xiao Bai and Xiao Ba were also animals, so they should be able to cultivate.
With this thought, Ye Feng called over Xiao Bai, Xiao Ba, and Xiao Hu, and then transmitted the low-level inner cultivation technique that Su Keqing had given him to the three of them.
But to his utter confusion, they couldn't understand it.
This made Ye Feng speechless, but in the next second, he came up with a solution.
Xiao Bai, Xiao Ba, and the others were marine animals and couldn't understand human writing or comprehend human things at all.
Fortunately, when Ye Feng broke through to the fourth layer of the Sea God Cultivation Technique, he gained the ability to communicate with marine creatures.
Originally, Ye Feng felt that this ability to communicate with marine creatures was somewhat useless, apart from making communication easier.
But now he realized the true purpose of this ability.
Ye Feng first translated the low-level inner cultivation technique for them. The inner cultivation technique was originally used to cultivate spiritual energy, which could temper and purify the spiritual energy within the body, making the spiritual skills more powerful when used.
At the same time, the higher the cultivation of the technique, the faster the absorption of spiritual energy and the faster the cultivation would advance.
It was just that Ye Feng possessed the inheritance of the Sea God, and his cultivation did not rely on absorbing spiritual energy, but rather on cultivating the Sea God Cultivation Technique, directly inheriting the Sea God's divine power. Therefore, he did not cultivate the inner cultivation technique.
However, this would be very helpful for the cultivation of Xiao Bai, Xiao Ba, and the others.
If they could learn the inner cultivation technique, they would naturally be able to advance their cultivation and learn other cultivation techniques and martial skills.
After explaining to them for a long time, the three giants finally understood a little.
"Alright, you try to cultivate first. If you have any questions, come and ask me!" Ye Feng said.
With that, he took out the Gale Phantom Steps he had just obtained and began to comprehend it...
