The Protagonist Is in the Right Position to Get Along With the Villain
Chapter 67
As they flew, Li Jinzhi scanned his surroundings. It turned out that the palace had stopped at the border of the Thousand Glow Mountain Range. Because they were flying too fast, the cultivators who came out with them earlier were still flying on the road.
"Bai, Master, where is Jin Xingfeng?" Li Jinzhi asked the golden light in front of him through telepathy.
"Because the spirit veins of the Thousand Glow Mountain Range are distributed in a circular pattern, the inner circle has the strongest spirit energy. The further you go, the weaker the spirit energy. Therefore, the outer sect is located in the outermost circle. Ordinary inner sect members are on the fourth layer, core inner sect members are on the third layer, and Yuanying elders have their own mountain peaks. They are all distributed on the second layer, and the first layer only has three main peaks."
In the light in front of them, Elder Bai's voice sounded. "Yes, it's the highest mountain range. That mountain range is used for the sect's grand occasion. Ordinary disciples can't even think about using it. The other mountain range is Patriarch Lei's residence, and the other is the Sect Master's residence."
"So, Jin Xingfeng is on the second layer of the Thousand Glow Mountain Range?"
Ye Cheng looked at the mountains that were getting closer and closer. "These mountains are all above the clouds. I wonder how high above sea level they are?
What's the use of the mountains below the clouds? "
Hearing this, Elder Bai, who was in front, smiled. "The Thousand Sunset Mountain Range is quite unique. Under the clouds, there are no Spirit Veins, but above the clouds, there are extremely strong Spirit Qi. Therefore, the land under the clouds is for ordinary animals to live in. Perhaps there are also mortal villages without Spirit Roots."
The light flashed past, and the three of them arrived at the area where the mountains were sparsely populated. There were much fewer people here than before.
"Will these animals come up?" Li Jinzhi raised his eyebrows.
"The mountains here are extremely steep, and there are cliffs all around. Our houses are built on the flat ground at the top of the mountain, so this kind of thing won't happen. However, those birds often come here to rest." Elder Bai's voice was neither fast nor slow, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Li Jinzhi looked at the flat ground at the top of the mountain, which seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade. He didn't ask any more questions.
The three of them flew straight past, and soon arrived at the area where the mountains were even more sparsely populated. Although there were fewer mountains, the surrounding spirit energy was several times more than before.
Elder Bai's light made a big circle in the sky. He deliberately went around a mountain surrounded by green mountains before moving forward......... If Old Li saw this, he might have to spit out the disciple in his hand.... "..

.. Elder Bai pointed at the two-story bamboo house and said, "That's my house. Don't even think about it."
He then pointed at the bamboo forest on the side. "There's bamboo over there. You can build it yourself. Look, your Senior Sister's house over there was built by her."
Li Jinzhi nodded. It was easy to do with materials, but where should they choose the location?
Because his and Ye Cheng's cultivation techniques were special, they could not predict what would happen when they cultivated. If Elder Bai sensed it …
Ye Cheng held Li Jinzhi's hand and looked around in the air. Finally, they flew straight to a remote place on top of Jin Xingfeng. It was surrounded by dense forests. It was close to the bamboo forest, and the environment was quiet. "Here?"
Li Jinzhi looked back at the bamboo house far away and nodded. "Here it is."
Bai Jinxing, who was following closely behind the two of them, also looked back at his own house. He then looked at his female disciple's house, which was even further away. He said unhappily, "This is too far away. Do the two of you not want to be close to an old man like me?"
Ye Cheng stared at Elder Bai silently. His eyelids drooped slightly, and his red eyes stared intently at Elder Bai.
Elder Bai stared at him for a long time. Finally, he could not hold on any longer and gave in. He took a step back and said with a trembling face, "Alright, alright. Young people should enjoy some alone time. This is Jin Xingfeng's restriction. You two can do as you deem fit."
Then, he flew back to the bamboo house without looking back. "The two of you should hurry up and cultivate. Make Jin Xingfeng proud. When you reach the Yuanying stage, you can also have your own mountain."
Li Jinzhi looked at the other party's retreating figure and said expressionlessly, "Did he misunderstand something?"
"No."
Ye Cheng turned his head and threw a long blade condensed from spiritual energy into the bamboo forest. With a crash, a large patch of bamboo fell to the ground.
Elder Bai, who was about to enter the bamboo house, paused in his steps. He looked back with a strange expression. The scene that entered his eyes made his pupils shrink.
He saw that the patch of Thousand Golden Bamboo, which was known to be incomparably tough, was falling down in large patches.
This was also a barrier that he had set for his disciples. The bamboo forest was planted when he was first assigned to the mountain. Every hundred years, its skin would thicken a little. Now, five hundred years had passed. If he were to go, it would take a lot of effort to chop down the bamboo forest.
His eldest disciple, Ruan Pinhong, had also spent several years to build a small bamboo house. But now, he saw the entire patch of bamboo falling down?
What kind of cultivation technique did the two of them practice?
Or did they obtain some powerful Dharma weapon outside?
Bai Jinxing paused in midair for a long time, then walked into the house with a thoughtful expression.
Li Jinzhi's sharp eyes noticed the abnormality of the bamboo. After calling Ye Cheng to a stop, he looked forward and saw that the inside of the bamboo, which was as thick as the mouth of a bowl, was flickering with faint golden patterns. He condensed an ice blade with thirty percent of his strength and threw it forward. The bamboo did not move at all. He threw another ice blade with fifty percent of his strength and cut a faint mark on the bamboo. In the end, he used seventy percent of his strength to cut the bamboo.
When he stood up again, he was already stunned. "How much strength did you use?"
Ye Cheng raised his eyebrows and answered, "Eighty percent. The defense of this bamboo is not ordinary?" As he spoke, he turned to look in the direction of the bamboo house. "Why didn't Shizun mention this just now?"
Li Jinzhi held up a piece of bamboo with one hand. "Maybe it's a test. Forget it. When he asks, I'll say that I obtained a sword that can cut iron like mud by chance."
Ye Cheng recalled that there was indeed a sword in his storage ring, so he nodded and lowered his head to sharpen the bottom of the bamboo in Li Jinzhi's hand.
Li Jinzhi raised the bamboo high and fiercely stabbed it into the ground.
With the two of them working together, the speed of building the house was naturally not slow, but it still took them a full four days to complete the construction of the bamboo house. The two of them even quarreled over the issue of the bedroom.
Ye Cheng said that there was only one ice bed, so one bedroom was enough. Li Jinzhi said that the closed-door cultivation this time was extremely crucial and would directly affect the success of his transformation. He did not want to look at Ye Cheng's face, for fear that his flood dragon face would affect his mood during the transformation.
The two of them could not come to an agreement, so the speed of building the house slowed down. Something that could have been completed in two days took four days. In the end, they were only allocated one bedroom, because Ye Cheng's expression was indescribably lonely.
The reason Li Jinzhi did not want to cultivate in the same room as Ye Cheng was naturally not because he was afraid of being disturbed. Previously, they had been cultivating in the same room, and there were no signs of them being disturbed.
However, the problem was that after he found out about Ye Cheng's feelings for him, although he wanted to try to accept him, he did not want to look at that face that looked like it was in heat before he adjusted his mood.
However, after a day of resistance, he saw that Ye Cheng had an abandoned expression again, so he had no choice but to wave the white flag and surrender.
Anyway, closed-door cultivation was just meditation, so he did not have to look at it. Moreover, there was indeed only one ice bed, so the convergence of spiritual energy was beneficial to speeding up the speed of cultivation.
Seeing that his request was fulfilled, Ye Cheng diligently made a set of tables, chairs, and tea sets. Then, he entered the void with Li Jinzhi and released the ice palace.
The two of them entered the bedroom. Li Jinzhi was about to put the ice bed into his storage ring, but Ye Cheng stopped him. "Wait!"
Li Jinzhi looked back in confusion. "What's wrong?"
Ye Cheng's face was expressionless, and there were no ripples in his red eyes. He took a step forward and stood in front of Li Jinzhi without saying anything. "Let me do it."
Li Jinzhi had been with Ye Cheng for a long time. Although Ye Cheng often had this expressionless face outside, he rarely showed this expression in front of Li Jinzhi. At this time, when Li Jinzhi saw that Ye Cheng was trying to hide something, his suspicions rose sharply, but he did not say anything. Instead, he looked around and released his divine sense.
After Ye Cheng put the ice bed into his storage ring, there was a crisp clicking sound. Ye Cheng cast a spell and was about to do something quickly, but another spiritual energy beat him to it.
The icy white spiritual energy quickly swept away the object that fell to the ground. Then, Ye Cheng watched as the object flew behind him and fell into the hands of another person.
"What is this?" Li Jinzhi held the jade slip and asked with raised eyebrows.
Ye Cheng opened his mouth, his eyes drifting, and stammered, "It's a jade slip."
Li Jinzhi was silent. He probed the jade slip with his divine sense and saw that the jade slip opened with a book on how to use magic tools.
"Why is it there?" Li Jinzhi pulled out his divine sense and questioned.
Ye Cheng had already put away his expression and said righteously, "Maybe the bed seam is too big. I don't know how it fell in."
"…" Li Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "Stop blaming me?"
Is your expression okay?!
The more you pretend, the more you think you did it!
Li Jinzhi stuffed the jade slip into his lapel and turned to walk out. "Okay, go out."
Seeing his actions, Ye Cheng was stunned and asked, "Why didn't you put the jade slip into your storage ring?"
Li Jinzhi answered without turning his head, "I'll go out and take a look. After all, I have so many magic tools at hand. If I don't know how to use them, it will affect the battle. I'll also take a look at the correct way to use that piece of silk."
Ye Cheng froze in place, his face full of astonishment.
"You're not coming out?" Li Jinzhi stood at the door of the bedchamber and urged with raised eyebrows. "Hmm?"
