Seeing Li Chengfeng sitting on the stone steps, eating and drinking to his heart's content, Huang Niang immediately shouted, "Hey, aren't you too relaxed!? We've worked ourselves to death, but your leisurely stroll is better than a sightseeing trip! "

After saying that, she also sat down not far away from Li Chengfeng and hit her knees and rubbed her ankles, using all her strength to look at the dried meat and water in Li Chengfeng's hands.

Li Chengfeng smiled at her and continued eating his own dried meat.

Huang Niang Zhang stood at the side and looked on eagerly, deliberately coughing with a 'If you're treating me to a meal, then I'll just have to bear with it' look.

Li Chengfeng looked at her with sympathy, "How is it? Does it smell good?"

Huang Niang tried her best to maintain her ladylike appearance, and unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She purposefully put on a disdainful look and said with a face of arrogance, "I didn't smell anything."

Li Chengfeng grinned and said, "Then I'll eat another piece and you smell it again." As he said that, he ate another piece, deliberately chewing very hard, making some sounds with his mouth.

Huang Niang's eyebrows scrunched up in anger. Just as she was about to explode with anger, she forced herself to hold it in and said with a cold smile, "This is so smelly! "It's not fragrant at all."

Li Chengfeng snickered in his heart as he continued to eat. After a while, he asked, "You didn't prepare anything for yourself?"

Huang Niang complained, "Who knew that the three stages this time were to climb the Heaven Stairway!"

Li Chengfeng said, "Is every time different?"

Huang Niang said, "Every sect and school's selection ceremony will have different examinations. This is to prevent the examinees from preparing or cheating in advance."

Li Chengfeng nodded, then picked up the dried meat in his hand and handed it over. Just as Huang Niang was about to receive it, Li Chengfeng suddenly retracted his hand and glared at him, saying, "What are you doing!"

Huang Niang also glared at him, "What are you doing? Isn't it for me to eat? "

Li Chengfeng seriously stared at her, "Shameless! If you don't find it fragrant, I'll just let you smell it! "

Huang Niang was so angry that her belly was about to explode. She forced a smile on her face, leaned forward slightly, and drew a beautiful curve in the air with her upper body. She blew in the air and said, "Brother Li, do you think I'm pretty?"

Li Chengfeng gave Huang Niang a serious look and said, "Hmm, with this face of yours, if it can cover up two of your flaws, you'd be perfect."

When it came to looks, no woman in the world would joke around. Huang Niangchang suddenly became serious, "Which two places?"

Li Chengfeng replied with a serious expression, "One half of your face is on the left side, while the other half is on the right side."

"Li Chengfeng, I want to fight you!"

Li Chengfeng immediately waved the meat in front of her and asked with a smile, "Do you want to eat some?"

Huang Niang was so angry that she almost exploded. When it came to dignity and a belly, these were two very serious issues. She had to make a final choice!

Huang Niang clenched her teeth and stretched out her hand. "Give it to me!"

Li Chengfeng placed the dried meat on top of her palm, while Huang Niangchang slightly raised her chin as if she had just returned from a victory, "Didn't you give it to me to eat in the end?"

However, just as she was about to pick up the piece of jerky to eat, she saw Li Chengfeng suddenly act as fast as lightning and forcefully grab the jerky from her palm before quickly throwing it into her mouth.

Huang Niang took a closer look and saw that the meat on her palm had disappeared. Replacing it was a tree branch!

Huang Niang was enraged and was about to erupt when she saw Li Chengfeng chewing a piece of dried meat as he slowly said, "You didn't even react just now, how could you be my opponent? If I had taken your life just now, it would have been as easy as turning my hand! "

Huang Niang was shocked and shuddered. She subconsciously took a step back and looked at Li Chengfeng warily, "Private fighting is not allowed in the Spirit Mountain! Whoever violates this rule will cripple all of his power and be expelled from Spirit Mountain! "

Li Chengfeng sneered, then he swallowed the dried meat. He took another sip of water and said, "Let's go. You must work even harder!" Huang Niangchang was so angry that tears were flowing down her cheeks. She stubbornly stared at Li Chengfeng without saying a word and waited for him to walk far away before gritting her teeth and saying in a low voice, "It's best if you fall to your death later!"

However, as soon as the curse was finished, her stomach growled once more, and all the anger and resentment disappeared. She sat down bitterly, and couldn't help but cry.

At this moment, something flew out from the clouds above. Huang Niang subconsciously caught it and saw a small cloth bag in her hand. Li Chengfeng's voice came from the clouds above, "Hey, 5000 taels of silver! You owe me 5,000 taels of silver!"

Huang Ni Chang said angrily: "Go to hell! This crappy thing cost five thousand taels! I won't give it to you! "

At this moment, Li Chengfeng didn't reply. It was unknown if he had walked too far, but his voice couldn't be heard or not.

Huang Niang opened the cloth bag and saw about seven to eight strips of meat inside. Her eyes immediately reddened as tears dripped down from her eyes. She fiercely picked one up, eating while scolding, "Bastard! How dare you sell some rotten meat strips to me for 5,000 taels of silver?!" I won't give it to you! In Pine Mountain, how many people have queued up to invite me to eat? I don't even want to show my face! "

After climbing another 5000 steps like this, Li Chengfeng had unknowingly left dozens of people behind. At this moment, Li Chengfeng's clothes were all wet, and he was sweating profusely. He looked at the canteen he brought with him and realized that there was not much water left in it.

Li Chengfeng raised his head to take a look. It was already late in the morning, and even if one could see the clouds, they could still see the setting sun, leaving behind a trail of blood-red clouds that could disappear into the horizon at any time.

However, Li Chengfeng still felt that the future of these stone steps was endless, and he still couldn't see the top!

Li Chengfeng sighed and thought to himself, It seems I have to spend the night on this mountain road! It was fine to spend the night in the wilderness, but what should he do if there was no water?

Just as he was worrying, he suddenly heard the sound of rain falling from the sky. Li Chengfeng did not have any time to think and immediately opened the lid of the water jug to catch the rain. When it was full, he laughed and said, "The sky is filled with rain!"

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the rain in the sky stop abruptly, as if it had never rained at all!

Li Chengfeng came to an abrupt stop and immediately realized that this rain was definitely not a coincidence. It was likely that the senior or martial uncle in the sect was afraid that they would be trapped on the stone steps due to lack of water.

Li Chengfeng thought for a moment, then took advantage of the last bit of sunlight to rush up another 1000 steps. The sky had already turned completely dark, but the wet clothes on Li Chengfeng's body had dried up.

The stone steps were uneven and extremely hard. Li Chengfeng had only slept for two to three hours before he suddenly woke up.

Although he had only slept for a short while, Li Chengfeng still felt that his entire body was sore.

Li Chengfeng stretched his limbs, borrowing the light from the stars and moon in the sky, he continued to climb.

While the tortoise was running, the tortoise was able to persevere. The tortoise's speed was a hundred times slower than the tortoise's, but it still won the final victory. From this, one could tell how important the strength of the tortoise was.

Furthermore, compared to the others, Li Chengfeng was not just a turtle, he was a rabbit!

Although he was the last one to set out, Li Chengfeng, who had maintained a constant speed and distributed his physical strength evenly, caught up to the people in front just as the sun was about to rise.

What made Li Chengfeng interested was that as he climbed higher, the stone steps became wider, and there was even a fork in the path!

Li Chengfeng stood at the first fork in the road and muttered to himself, "What does this fork mean?" Are they testing our choices or our mental fortitude? If he chose the wrong path, would he not reach the end point, or would he take a detour?
