“Of course it’s true!”
Ye Feng coughed, “Could it be that you thought I had slain some powerful Demon General and seized it? I, Ye Feng, how could I do such a thing?”
Having said that, Ye Feng appeared very calm.
What does the Young Master Misty’s actions have to do with me, Ye Feng?
He thought to himself.
“In any case, our Misty Sect’s acquisition of a new Spirit Vein is indeed a good thing. From now on, you all need to cultivate even more diligently.”
Soon, Ye Feng began to change the subject.
“Understood, Sect Leader.” The disciples nodded repeatedly.
Ye Feng then looked at Huo Yunjie and said, “Yunjie, your foundation is very solid, and your bottleneck has also loosened. It looks like you should be making a breakthrough to the Element Gathering Realm soon, right?”
Huo Yunjie clasped his hands in salute and said, “Sect Master Uncle has insightful eyes, this disciple has indeed arrived at a critical juncture for the breakthrough to the Element Gathering Realm, and I will enter closed-door cultivation in a few days to make a breakthrough.”
“Here is a bottle of Consolidating Origin Pills, use them if needed.”
Ye Feng took out a jade vial and was not stingy in the slightest.
“Many thanks, Sect Master Uncle!”
Huo Yunjie accepted the jade vial and found inside five lower grade Consolidating Origin Pills of exceptional quality. These had been purified by the Purifying Green Lotus, rid of all impurities. If taken directly, the medicinal effect would be much better than usual.
Ye Feng turned to Gong Qingqiu and inquired, “Elder Gong, how has the first Elder task issued previously turned out now?”
“Reporting to the Sect Leader, the materials for the lower grade Consolidating Origin Pills have all been gathered. The disciples have completed the task to perfection,” Gong Qingqiu reported the outcome.
“The disciples have completed their task, and as Sect Leader, I should indeed reward them. Here is a bottle of upper grade Cultivation Qi Pills, five in total. Each of you take one, and leave the last one for the other disciples.”
Ye Feng took out a bottle.
As the cap was unscrewed, a refreshing aroma diffused, captivating the mind.
“It’s actually upper grade Cultivation Qi Pills!”
“Many thanks, Sect Master Uncle!”
Shi Lei, Huo Yunjie, and the others hurriedly expressed their gratitude.
After this task, Ye Feng had received a total of four rewards, including the “Scripture of Spirit Veins”, three catties of special material known as Moonfall Stone, three Sky-reaching Green Vine Spirit Seeds, and a bottle of upper grade Cultivation Qi Pills.
Among them, the Moonfall Stone was withheld by Ye Feng.
The “Scripture of Spirit Veins” is a common read, now placed in the Scripture Pavilion, available for all Elder disciples to peruse.
As for the Sky-reaching Green Vine Spirit Seeds, Ye Feng had already acquired their information and understood many of their secrets.
The slain Vine Demon was indeed the Sky-reaching Green Vine!
These three Spirit Seeds, when watered with Spirit Spring Water, could survive and continuously grow on Misty Peak. They had the effect of protecting from wind and fixing sand, and could even develop intelligence. In the future, they can be cultivated into Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts, serving as the first line of defense for Misty Peak.
Consequently, Ye Feng handed the three thumb-sized, round and grey-green Spirit Seeds to Jia Yulan and said:
“Yu Lan, these are the Spirit Seeds of the Sky-reaching Green Vine, which can grow into vines with defensive capabilities. Choose three suitable locations on Misty Peak to plant them, and watch over them day and night. Ru Yu, when you have the time, go and expedite their growth.”
“Disciple obeys the order.” Jia Yulan received the Spirit Seeds and, with Yan Ruyu, began to select suitable locations to plant them.
Ye Feng gave a few more instructions and then arrived at the base of the Thousand-Year Ancient Pine Tree.
“As Sect Leader, I have new Spirit Blood; do you need it?”
Ye Feng took out the Spirit Blood of the Vine Demon and Flower Demon. Emitting bright cyan and gold radiance, it managed to stir up a storm of vital energy around it.
“Both are suitable for me… But isn’t the Sect Leader planning to bestow these two types of Spirit Blood to the Sky-reaching Green Vine Spirit Seeds?”
The Old Pine Tree heard the conversation between Ye Feng and his disciples, and it felt quite curious and perplexed about Ye Feng’s current actions.
“The Sky-reaching Green Vines don’t need this Spirit Blood.”
Ye Feng shook his head, “Their bloodline is very pure, and merging with the blood of their own kind has become ineffective. They need to absorb the Spirit Blood of other demonic beasts to enhance themselves.”
Essentially, both the Flower Demon and the Vine Demon belong to the Sky-reaching Green Vine.
Their spirit blood isn’t of much significance to spirit seeds.
“I see, then I must thank the Sect Leader for this generous gift,” the Thousand-Year Ancient Pine said as it trembled slightly, as if to express its gratitude.
“Spirit Blood, merge!”
Ye Feng flicked his finger, infusing the Vine Demon and Flower Demon’s spirit blood into the Thousand-Year Ancient Pine one after the other, causing it to shine with countless peculiar green-gold array patterns. The trunk expanded further, and its branches and leaves grew even more luxuriant.
Dozens of arm-thick green vines hung down from the crown of the tree, and although they didn’t have thorns on their surface, they did have chickpea-sized protuberances that were smooth to the touch, almost like a decoration.
At the end of each vine hung a washbowl-sized white flower, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
“It smells so good!”
“It seems the Guardian Elder has improved again.”
The disciples gathered around.
Ye Feng looked at the Thousand-Year Ancient Pine and asked, “What talent have you gained?”
“Reporting to the Sect Leader, I have acquired a new talent ‘Vine Entanglement.’ The dozens of vines on the tree can extend continuously, and with my current cultivation level, they can reach up to fifteen li, almost to the east gate of Whitefloat City,” the Thousand-Year Ancient Pine introduced.
“Wow, that long?” Ouyang Yu covered her small mouth in surprise.
“Does that mean we’ll be able to run all the way to Whitefloat City using the vines in the future?” Ouyang Feng voiced his thought.
“Yes, that’s possible. In the future, if any of you wish to travel to Whitefloat City, I can use the vines to send you there,” the Thousand-Year Ancient Pine blinked.
“This will make transporting materials much more convenient in the future,” Shi Lei thought of another use.
Ye Feng waved his hand to interrupt the conversation and asked, “Lao Song, surely the vines are capable of more than that, right?”
“The vines can entangle enemies. Currently, each vine’s strength is comparable to a lower grade spiritual artifact. Under the enhancement of my middle-rank Demon General cultivation level, they can bind any lower-rank Demon General or below cultivator. Combined with the Soul-Suppressing Pine Needle, they can even forcibly restrain a powerful individual like Elder Gong,” the Thousand-Year Ancient Pine revealed the surprising news.
“That’s very good indeed!” Ye Feng smiled.
It seemed that any spirit blood related to the wood element could be added to the Thousand-Year Ancient Pine in the future, building it up as the guardian god of Misty Sect.
“Sect Leader, Elders, brothers, and sisters, I’m going to seclude myself to break through to the Element Gathering Realm,” Huo Yunjie announced seriously, holding a jade vial filled with lower grade Consolidating Origin Pills.
“Before your breakthrough, you may seek guidance from Elder Gong and Mo Ying about their breakthrough experiences,” Ye Feng advised him.
“Understood,” Huo Yunjie nodded.
At this time, Gong Qingqiu walked up to the mission wall and took out a pen, saying, “It’s time to post the second Elder mission.”
The disciples were all curious, gathering around the mission wall.
“Elder Mission Two: Construct the Elders’ Hall building, duration, two months.”
Upon seeing the mission, Shi Lei’s eyes brightened, “This is a task I know!”
Ye Feng walked over slowly, surveyed the surroundings, and said, “It’s a pity that the top of Misty Peak is somewhat crowded and no longer sufficient for constructing larger buildings.”
The Scripture Pavilion and Alchemy Pavilion already had buildings, occupying the remaining space on the mountain summit. Indeed, the area left was not suitable for constructing new large buildings.
To expand, one must acquire new land.
“Why don’t we spend money to buy a nearby mountain?”
Shi Lei looked around and realized that the closest place to Misty Peak was several li away and already occupied by other lower-rank sects; surely they couldn’t just drive others away.
“It’s too far away, not suitable.”
Ye Feng waved his hand and added, “Let’s postpone this mission until Misty Sect advances to a One-Star Forces.”
“Yes,” Shi Lei could only nod in agreement.
Ye Feng turned to Gong Qingqiu and asked, “Elder Gong, with the current status of our Misty Sect, what certainty do you have in passing the One-Star Sect certification evaluation?”
“Eighty percent,” Gong Qingqiu didn’t dare to be too certain.
