The Black Armored Guard remained silent in place, whether they were truly convinced or just pretending, after being utterly defeated by Ye Feng.
Seeing this, Ye Feng jumped down from the high platform.
With a “crack”, the floor tiles beneath his feet were crushed again.
Zhou Jiacai opened his mouth, wanting to say something but then thought better of it.
“What kinds of spells do you usually practice?” Ye Feng asked as he walked among the crowd with his hands clasped behind his back.
An actor hurriedly raised his hand, pretending to be weak, and said, “Sect Master Ye, the spells we practice include ‘Heavy Step’, ‘Iron Shield Technique’… and more than a dozen other First-Grade Spells, each different.”
More than three hundred Black Armored Guards, each of them had practiced at least three spells, including at least one for defense, attack, or movement.
Upon hearing that the Black Armored Guard practiced the ‘Iron Shield Technique’, Ye Feng’s eyes lit up and he said, “Today, this Sect Leader is in a good mood, so I’ll give you some pointers on the ‘Iron Shield Technique’. All those who practice it, come over.”
After being beaten up, the Black Armored Guards dared not disobey, and quickly, over a hundred practitioners of ‘Iron Shield Technique’ gathered around.
“So many?” Ye Feng was somewhat surprised, thinking to himself that the ‘Iron Shield Technique’ was indeed a common spell with too many practitioners, but this suited his intentions perfectly.
Ye Feng pointed to a Qi Refinement fifth-grade Black Armored Guard with a big beard and asked, “How well have you mastered the ‘Iron Shield Technique’?”
“Minor Achievement stage,” the big-bearded guard replied.
He was at the fifth grade of Qi Refinement, and cultivators at this stage could generally only achieve Minor Achievement in their spells, with those of high talent potentially reaching Major Achievement.
“Perform it once, and then this Sect Leader will guide you. I guarantee you’ll reach Major Achievement by today,” Ye Feng said.
The crowd was skeptical.
After pondering for a moment, the big-bearded Black Armored Guard stood in an open space, hands forming seals, and condensed an illusory dark shield.
“The Spirit Shield is quite solid, close to Major Achievement, but there are many flaws, such as here, here, and here,” Ye Feng pointed out the big-bearded Black Armored Guard’s mistakes on the spot with a section of green bamboo taken from the System Space.
“It sounds plausible, but is it actually effective?”
The surrounding Black Armored Guards commented in their hearts.
The big-bearded Black Armored Guard hesitated, then realized that what Ye Feng had mentioned were the very issues he had encountered while practicing the ‘Iron Shield Technique’. His eyes filled with surprise, he quickly followed the instructions.
Hum!
Half a tea time later, the ‘Iron Shield Technique’ performed by the big-bearded Black Armored Guard had solidified considerably, astonishingly reaching the Major Achievement stage.
The other Black Armored Guards widened their mouths in shock.
Those who had mentally criticized Ye Feng as spouting nonsense were left dumbfounded as they realized that Sect Master Ye indeed had some real skills.
Sect Prestige Value +3.
Sect Prestige Value +7.
Ye Feng discovered that by teaching the big-bearded Black Armored Guard, he had gained dozens of Sect Prestige Points in just about ten seconds.
Before long, the previously almost three hundred Prestige Points had reached 340 and were still climbing.
“Already nearly a hundred Black Armored Guards recognize the Misty Sect. Good, there’s still room for almost two hundred more to be persuaded,” Ye Feng thought with great pleasure. He pointed to another Black Armored Guard who had trained in the ‘Iron Shield Technique’, “You too, perform the ‘Iron Shield Technique’, and then I will guide you.”
“Yes, thank you, Sect Master Ye.” That Black Armored Guard was overjoyed and hurriedly followed suit.
Time flew by, and soon it was nearly noon.
Ye Feng had continuously guided over thirty Black Armored Guards, helping them to elevate their ‘Iron Shield Technique’ from Beginner to Minor Achievement, or from Minor Achievement to Major Achievement, drawing amazement from the other guards.
After the beating they had previously received from Ye Feng, and after such manipulation, over sixty percent of the Black Armored Guard now recognized Ye Feng, enabling the Sect Prestige Value to successfully break through 500.
“Ding, congratulations to the Misty Sect for breaking through 500 prestige points, unlocking the ‘Prestige Point Exchange Feature.’ Please check the related information for details,” the System’s voice rang out.
Ye Feng was momentarily stunned, then soon saw several lines of blue text appearing in his field of vision.
[Sect Prestige Value: 507]
[Remaining Exchangeable Amount: 507]
[Exchange Description: Consuming Sect Prestige Value can instantly bring a spell to the Perfect Stage; First Grade Spell 50 points, Second-Grade Spell 100 points…]
Understanding the meaning behind these words, Ye Feng was still somewhat puzzled.
“System, I now have 507 prestige points. If I use them all up, to complete the mission of breaking through a thousand prestige points, do I need to accumulate another thousand, or just 493 points?” Ye Feng asked the System.
“You only need 493 points.” After saying this, the System fell silent again.
Hearing this, Ye Feng had no further questions and could confidently consume the Sect Prestige Value.
However, each First Grade Spell required the expenditure of 50 prestige points, which was indeed quite costly. Ye Feng felt that, if possible, it was better to let the disciples reach the Beginner level so he could directly comprehend the spells to the Perfect Stage.
For spells that even the Sect Disciples found difficult to comprehend, or when time was pressing, it was more cost-effective to use Sect Prestige Value to achieve understanding.
Having understood this, Ye Feng became very interested in the Scripture Pavilion of the City Lord’s Mansion.
As for the Black Armored Guards, he had taught dozens of them just this morning, which was already a considerable effort. Moreover, he had reaped a large amount of prestige points, so it was time to make a getaway.
Accordingly, Ye Feng stepped onto the high platform and said, “Gentlemen, let’s leave it at that for today. We shall meet again next time.”
“Sect Master Ye, don’t go, I still haven’t had the chance to ask for your guidance!”
“Sect Master Ye, let me treat you to a meal!”
“Sect Master Ye, I have an unmarried daughter.”
The Black Armored Guards were reluctant to see him go.
Even the last of the Black Armored Guards who hadn’t acknowledged Ye Feng suddenly felt like they were missing out on a billion-dollar opportunity.
However, Ye Feng turned a deaf ear to everyone’s words and, along with Zhou Jiacai and Xin Guangxuan, jumped onto a flying boat and left the Black Armored Guard camp.
“Sect Master Ye is really incredible. This noon, Zhou would like to invite you and Fellow Daoist Xin Guangxuan to a meal,” Zhou Jiacai said, patting his chest.
“Haha, aren’t afraid I’ll eat you out of house and home?” Ye Feng joked.
“You’re joking, Sect Master Ye. I am the Deputy Commander; my monthly stipend is not low. Moreover, our Zhou Family is itself a noble family of Whitefloat City. We can certainly afford a meal,” Zhou Jiacai said earnestly.
A moment later, the three stopped in front of a five-story building named “Famous Cuisine Building.” They found a private room on the fourth floor and chatted while eating.
Zhou Jiacai and Xin Guangxuan both expressed their admiration for Ye Feng’s mastery of spells, and they asked for guidance on the spot.
“Perhaps I am the chosen one, inheriting some will of my ancestors. Somehow I just understand some spells without really knowing how; it’s indeed strange!” Ye Feng casually brushed off their inquiries.
After the meal, the three prepared to visit the Scripture Pavilion at the City Lord’s Mansion.
But at that moment, on the street, there appeared a group of cultivators riding fierce tigers and carrying long swords, looking impressive as they passed by the front of Famous Cuisine Building.
Ye Feng, who was standing in front of the building, looked up and made eye contact with the white-browed, white-haired, burly old man leading the group.
In that instant, Ye Feng distinctly saw surprise and murderous intent in the old man’s eyes, but their gazes swiftly moved apart.
By the time Ye Feng came to his senses, he found the white-browed elder had already disappeared with his tiger mount at the end of the street.
