Chapter 215: Star Level Sect Certification, Observational Learning
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Ye Feng immediately noticed that Elder Hongmeng was not human!
She was a transformative demonic beast!
[Hongmeng: Middle Rank Demon General Peak]
[Talent: Purple Pupil Illusion]
[Note: Originally a Purple Pupil Spirit Rabbit, after a thousand years of hard cultivation, it transformed and joined County King City, becoming the Foreign Affairs Elder specifically responsible for the evaluation and certification of One-Star Sects, and was highly valued.]
Ye Feng stared at Elder Hongmeng, lost in thought.
A moment later, he made a startling discovery.
After looking into Elder Hongmeng’s purple eyes, his consciousness was pulled into a strange illusionary realm, where the surroundings changed into a grassland with a purplish-red peach tree in the distance.
Beneath the tree stood a young woman in a pink dress, with an appearance similar to that of Elder Hongmeng, but she appeared younger and more beautiful, like an eighteen-year-old girl, graceful and charming.
“Sect Master Ye, I have been waiting for you for a long time,” said the young woman in the pink dress, her red lips slightly parting, her breath as fragrant as an orchid, giving off a feeling of ease and pleasantness.
“Is this Elder Hongmeng’s illusion?” Ye Feng asked as he looked around.
“Indeed,” Elder Hongmeng replied with a charming smile, more impressive than the middle-aged woman he had seen in reality, “I have some matters to discuss with you in this illusionary realm.”
“Discuss?” Ye Feng was taken aback.
“Don’t worry, Sect Master Ye, within my Purple Pupil Illusion, the speed of thought will increase tenfold, which means ten hours inside corresponds to just one hour outside. That should be enough for us to have a brief chat,” Elder Hongmeng said with a slight smile.
“I see,” Ye Feng nodded in understanding.
“May I ask if you, Sect Master Ye, personally crafted the Miniature Cave-Heaven Array?” Elder Hongmeng wasted no time and got straight to the point.
“Yes,” Ye Feng admitted.
It was not something he could keep secret, and it was better to admit it directly than to beat around the bush.
“Indeed… Well, Sect Master Ye, our time is limited, so let us conclude our discussion here. Once the Yunhua Sect’s Sect evaluation is complete, I would like to invite you to further understand these matters, if that’s agreeable?” Elder Hongmeng asked.
“That’s fine,” Ye Feng agreed.
“Thank you very much, Sect Master Ye,” Elder Hongmeng said, revealing a gentle smile as she waved her hand and dispelled the entire Purple Pupil Illusion.
Ye Feng felt the surroundings change rapidly.
The next moment, he snapped back to reality, his eyes refocusing to see Elder Hongmeng’s smiling face.
“Sect Master Ye, I am Elder Hongmeng. It’s a pleasure to meet you!” she said.
Ye Feng regained his composure and replied with a bow, “The pleasure is mine.”
As he spoke, he took his seat.
Glancing at the rising grey-white smoke on the case stand, Ye Feng estimated that his exchange of glances with Elder Hongmeng lasted only a few seconds, but inside the Purple Pupil Illusion, nearly a minute had passed, indeed ten times as long.
“What a pity, it only accelerates thought, not actual time. Otherwise, such an illusionary realm would truly be a holy land for cultivation,” Ye Feng thought with a hint of regret.
At this time, Yunhua Zhenren spoke up: “Now that Sect Master Ye has arrived, Elder Hongmeng, can we officially start the Star-Level Sect evaluation for the Yunhua Sect?”
“Yes,” Elder Hongmeng stood up and said.
Stewards Qin Ping and Qin Wan stood behind Elder Hongmeng, each holding a book titled “Record of Yunhua Sect’s Ascension to Higher Ranked Sect.”
Yunhua Zhenren then bowed and said, “Our Yunhua Sect is applying for the status of a comprehensive Star-Level Sect, which is the most common type.”
After saying this, he presented a thick book.
“Elder Hongmeng, this is the Yunhua Sect’s roster, with one Sect Master, four Elders, a number of Stewards, and over a thousand disciples,” Yunhua Zhenren explained.
Ye Feng and the Misty Sect disciples watched from the side, learning that the certification process was so professional and even required reporting the Sect’s personnel.
And what was this about a comprehensive Star-Level Sect?
Ye Feng was full of questions, planning to ask after the evaluation was over.
Elder Hongmeng took the roster and said:
“Yunhua Sect has a considerable number of disciples, in terms of quantity it has already surpassed many Star-Level Sects, which is commendable.”
“As a comprehensive category of Star-Level Sect, to pass the evaluation for One-Star Sect, you will need at least a Miniature Spirit Vein, a Scripture Pavilion with a collection of over a hundred spells, a Spiritual Medicine Garden, an Alchemy Room, an Artifact-refining Pavilion, a Spirit Beast Pavilion, a Martial Arts Ground, and other such facilities.”
“Next, we will begin the individual evaluations.”
After finishing, Elder Hongmeng looked towards Yunhua Zhenren.
“Everybody, please follow me,” Yunhua Zhenren immediately led the way, accompanied by the four Elders, escorting Elder Hongmeng and the stewards Qin Ping and Qin Wan towards the underground caves.
Ye Feng led his disciples closely behind.
Underground cave.
The crowd stood in front of a huge stalagmite.
“This is the Miniature Spirit Vein ‘Stalagmite,’ which was once a common stalagmite and, after years of nurturance, became a Miniature Spirit Vein,” Yunhua Zhenren explained.
“This item has already been appraised and has passed the examination!” Elder Hongmeng waved her sleeves lightly and then looked meaningfully at Ye Feng.
Qin Ping and Qin Wan promptly registered it in the appraisal manual.
Half an hour later.
The crowd arrived at the summit of a tall peak.
There, a huge Martial Arts Ground was built for disciples to spar and practice spells.
“The Martial Arts Ground passes,” Elder Hongmeng declared.
Qin Ping and Qin Wan immediately took notes.
In the center of the Martial Arts Ground stood a three-story wooden structure.
“Our Yunhua Sect’s Scripture Pavilion contains one Fourth Grade Spell, two Third Grade Spells, thirteen Second Grade Spells, and one hundred and one First Grade Spells,” Yunhua Zhenren introduced, “In addition, there are three Miniature Sect Protection Arrays and fifteen Miniature Formations.”
Hearing this, Ye Feng was secretly astonished.
The Misty Sect disciples also held their breath.
It had to be said, Yunhua Sect’s foundation was truly strong!
Even without being recognized as a Star-Level Sect, it was much stronger than many Star-Level Sects.
Elder Hongmeng nodded in satisfaction and said, “The appraisal of the Scripture Pavilion passes!”
The group continued on to the next location.
Soon, they entered a valley filled with abundant spiritual energy and a Spiritual Spring, protected by a Miniature Sect Protection Array, with several fields of Spiritual Medicine inside, cultivating tens of thousands of plants, a pity they had not matured yet.
“This is our Yunhua Sect’s Spiritual Medicine Garden,” Yunhua Zhenren looked at Liu Yuzhi with appreciation, “Our Fourth Elder Liu Yuzhi excels at cultivating spiritual medicines, and the success of the entire Spiritual Medicine Garden is inseparable from her hard work.”
“The Sect Master flatters me,” Liu Yuzhi said, a bit embarrassed.
“So many spiritual medicines!” Jia Yulan, Yan Ruyu, Xia He, Qiu Ju, the disciples in charge of the Misty Sect’s Spiritual Medicine Garden, all showed looks of shock.
Compared to Yunhua Sect’s Spiritual Medicine Garden, the Misty Sect’s was just at the beginning stages and couldn’t compare at all.
Elder Hongmeng scanned the area with her Spiritual Sense and said, “A rich variety of spiritual medicine, more than a hundred kinds, with the oldest nearly a hundred years old, and a total number exceeding ten thousand…excellent!”
The appraisal of the Spiritual Medicine Garden also passed.
The group kept moving.
They arrived at a cave built deep underground, where the heat was unbearable. If it weren’t for the formation’s protection, their clothes might have been incinerated by the high temperatures as soon as they arrived.
Yunhua Zhenren pointed to two great halls with Earth Fire Furnaces and introduced, “The left is the Alchemy Room, while the right is the Artifact-Refining Pavilion, each capable of accommodating at least ten disciples for alchemy or artifact forging.”
Elder Hongmeng asked, “Do you have any Artifact Refiners or Alchemists?”
The Yunhua Sect Grand Elder stepped forward, “I can refine all Qi Pills, as well as Lower Grade Consolidating Origin Pills.”
The Yunhua Sect Second Elder said, “I can refine Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts, but as for Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts, I am not yet capable.”
Elder Hongmeng nodded slightly and said, “Please demonstrate on the spot!”
“Very well,” the Grand Elder and Second Elder entered the Alchemy Room and Artifact-Refining Pavilion respectively.
In front of everyone, the two spent an hour and each produced a Lower Grade Consolidating Origin Pill and a Lower Grade Spiritual Blade.
Elder Hongmeng, holding the slightly warm Consolidating Origin Pill, nodded, “The purity is not bad, and the alchemy technique is mature. The appraisal of the Alchemy Room passes.”
She picked up the Lower Grade Spiritual Blade, flicked it with her finger, and the blade quivered slightly, emitting a continuous tremor sound, and she smiled, “Good quality, the Artifact-Refining Pavilion passes the appraisal.”
Hearing this, both the Grand Elder and Second Elder breathed a sigh of relief.
“Then, the only place left is the Spirit Beast Pavilion,” Elder Hongmeng said, handing back the Consolidating Origin Pill and Spiritual Blade and stepping out.
Not long after, the group arrived at a valley.
This place was home to more than a dozen Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts.
Eight Lower Rank Demon Soldiers, five Middle Rank Demon Soldiers for each level, and two High-rank Demon Soldiers, including Flying Spirit Beasts and Load-Bearing Spirit Beasts, to meet the Sect’s daily needs.
“The appraisal of the Spirit Beast Pavilion passes!”
Elder Hongmeng folded her hands behind her back, turned around to look at the nervous Yunhua Zhenren, and smiled, “Congratulations to Yunhua Sect for passing the comprehensive One-Star Sect assessment. From today, your Sect is a Star-Level Sect.”
Upon hearing this, Yunhua Zhenren trembled with joy.
The four great Elders leapt up excitedly, filled with a sense of pride and honor.
“Congratulations Yunhua Zhenren,” Ye Feng congratulated.
Through today’s experience, he had finally understood the evaluation process of a comprehensive star-level sect and had a new reference for developing the Sect, filled with gains.
