The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal-Chapter 1069: Hand of Myriad Transformations, Volume One

"My first thread of the Power of Reality is about to emerge!"

Ye Feng felt a premonition.

He turned his head to look at Yu Jie’s room, remembering the gifts he had made by hand over the past few days, and a slight smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"I think I understand."

"Using both hands to create things can strengthen the Power of Reality, after all, this power is rooted in reality."

"Only by being hands-on can there be any progress."

"It’s the same saying."

"Use both hands to create reality!"

Ye Feng murmured quietly, causing the clouds in the sky to roll continuously, as if echoing his words.

In the afternoon.

Ye Feng was making brushes using bamboo tubes, wolf hair, lines, and adhesive, all of decent quality, when suddenly a pair of cool little hands covered his eyes.

"Guess who I am?" Yu Jie said with a mischievous smile.

Ye Feng, looking helpless, replied,

"Yu Jie, there are only you and me in this entire valley. Who else could it be? Surely it can’t be a wild boar, right?"

"Ptui, ptui, ptui! You’re the wild boar!"

Yu Jie quickly removed her hands and sat on the stool in front of Ye Feng, resting her chin on her hands, "Ye Feng brother, do you notice anything different about me?"

Ye Feng observed Yu Jie.

Her face was still shrouded in a light mist, unclear, but her delicate and fine features were evident – she would certainly grow up to be a beauty.

As for her figure...

What kind of figure could a girl just entering puberty have? At this age, they’re either chubby or thin.

"No change." After observing for a moment without noticing any differences, Ye Feng continued making brushes.

"How can there be no change?" Yu Jie pulled out a bronze mirror to take a look, "I feel like I’m getting prettier."

Ye Feng remained silent and continued making brushes.

"Ye Feng brother, in a few days, I’m going to deliver goods to a nearby town. Could you protect me?"

Hope was written all over Yu Jie’s face.

Ever since she went to Mortal City by herself last time and was bullied by five rogue youths, nearly being sold to a brothel, Yu Jie had developed a psychological shadow and hadn’t left Ye Feng’s side since.

However, in the last year, items like toilet paper, cloth, and silk had piled up like a mountain in the valley and had to be sold.

Otherwise, the storeroom couldn’t accommodate them.

"In a few days?" Ye Feng nodded, "Sure, but I need time to forge some handy weapons."

"That’s great!"

Upon hearing Ye Feng agree to accompany her, Yu Jie immediately jumped off the stool and excitedly spun around on the ground.

Early the next morning.

Ye Feng brought a block of pig iron and set up a charcoal fire, bellows, a forging bench, a hammer, tongs, and other tools next to the courtyard.

"Since we are leaving the valley, I must forge weapons."

Ye Feng murmured to himself.

Clang, clang, clang!

Soon, Ye Feng swung the hammer, continuously striking the glowing hot iron, making a deafening sound.

Because of the fainting incident last time and living in the valley for over a year, his physical strength had become much stronger.

He could lift ten thousand pounds with one hand.

With both arms, he could hoist a weight of thirty thousand pounds, and with a light jump, he could leap straight over rooftops.

Such physical strength was enough to contend with low-level cultivators.

If he also had handy weapons, such as a sharp longsword or a curved bow with poisoned arrows, even low-level cultivators could be easily shot down.

Several days later.

Ye Feng, carrying a curved bow and over a hundred poisoned feather arrows, along with a razor-sharp longsword, stood in front of Yu Jie’s door.

"We’re ready," he said.

Creak!

Yu Jie walked out from her room, dressed in black with a black cloth draped over her head, carrying a large bundle on her back.

"Ye Feng brother, how do I look in my outfit?"

Yu Jie gestured to herself.

"Still okay," Ye Feng nodded. "Next, let’s get ready to leave!"

"Okay!"

Yu Jie walked to the front of the warehouse, where three carriages were parked, each drawn by two wild horses.

The two of them hopped onto a carriage.

Soon, the convoy followed the muddy mountain road toward a distant small town, heading in the exact opposite direction of Mortal City.

"What’s the destination called?" Ye Feng asked.

"Nanping Town," Yu Jie answered.

"How far is it?" Ye Feng inquired further.

"Roughly forty or fifty li," Yu Jie thought for a moment before providing a rough estimate.

Hearing this, Ye Feng’s gaze flickered slightly.

Shennong Village was already more than ten li from Mortal City, traveling in the opposite direction by another forty or fifty li to reach Nanping Town meant being at least fifty li away from Mortal City.

And those participating in the assessment were not allowed to leave Mortal City by a distance of more than fifty li.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn’t help but frown.

"Brother Ye Feng, what’s wrong?" Yu Jie asked with widened eyes upon seeing the worry on Ye Feng’s face.

"It’s nothing," Ye Feng shook his head.

Even if Nanping Town was quite far and exceeded the fifty li range of Mortal City, he had to escort Yu Jie to the extreme distance.

As for what would happen later, that was a matter for another time.

On the muddy road.

Yu Jie leaned on Ye Feng’s shoulder and said, "Brother Ye Feng, I think you’re really nice. Will you protect me for the rest of my life? By the way, I heard others have brothers to protect them; could you be my brother?"

Ye Feng teased Yu Jie’s nose, "Silly girl, aren’t I already your brother?"

"Brother!" Yu Jie affectionately called out, "You haven’t answered me yet, will you protect me for a lifetime?"

"You will get married someday, and your husband will protect you," Ye Feng replied with a smile.

"What if I don’t get married? I feel that, compared to the people outside, no one is as good as Brother Ye Feng. I want to stay by your side my whole life," Yu Jie pouted.

Hearing this, Ye Feng was at a loss.

He looked at Yu Jie, unsure whether what he was experiencing now was a dream or if there was really someone named "Yu Jie" in the world.

If it were a dream, that would be fine.

But if Yu Jie really existed, then things would get complicated.

He dared not make promises lightly to a real person.

After a good while of contemplation, Ye Feng rubbed Yu Jie’s head and gave a definite response: "No matter what, as long as you’re by my side, I’ll protect you."

"Yay!" Yu Jie extended her hand, "Pinky promise!"

Helplessly, Ye Feng stretched out his pinky, hooked it with Yu Jie’s, and said, "As long as I’m alive, I’ll take good care of you."

No sooner had he finished speaking.

Ye Feng suddenly felt as if his body had been electrified, causing him to shiver all over.

On the other hand, Yu Jie showed no change whatsoever.

"Brother Ye Feng, what happened?" Yu Jie, feeling the shiver coming from Ye Feng, couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"It’s nothing," Ye Feng shook his head, releasing his hand.

In that moment.

He felt his mind grow heavy, like it had been over a year ago, when he first entered the valley; fortunately, his physical strength had improved quite a lot, and he soon returned to normal.

At this time, Ye Feng suddenly found that Yu Jie had leaned on his shoulder and fallen asleep.

"This girl, she actually fell asleep."

Ye Feng muttered under his breath.

Suddenly, a surge of information flooded his mind, making him grimace and hold his head, his eyes wide open, reflecting ancient text with immense power.

"It’s actually the first volume of ’Hand of Myriad Transformations’!"

"What is going on here?"

"Why did I suddenly acquire the first volume of this Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability? Could it be... because of my promise with Yu Jie?"

Ye Feng furrowed his brows.

Although he knew Yu Jie was not ordinary and possibly harbored the cultivation technique of ’Hand of Myriad Transformations,’ he did not expect to acquire the first volume of this divine ability because of a promise with her.

"It seems that as long as I stay by Yu Jie’s side and protect her, properly experiencing a mortal’s life, I can pass this hundred-year trial of transforming from mortal."

Ye Feng thought to himself.

Then, he closed his eyes and began to cultivate the first volume of the ’Hand of Myriad Transformations’.
