“Jiaren, what kind of behavior is this?”
Gong Qingqiu hurriedly pulled Xie Jiaren away, pointed at her nose, and gave her a few words of reprimand.
Ye Feng quickly straightened his clothes, and said with a stern face,
“Xie Jiaren, I can’t give you the Demon King’s corpse for now, but I can give you a piece of Fanged Mad Pig meat first to see if you can refine higher quality Spirit Beast Feed.”
Upon hearing the first part of his sentence, Xie Jiaren’s face fell, but the latter half immediately brightened her eyes, and she grinned, laughing, “It seems that Sect Master Ye doesn’t trust my skills. Well then, I will show you what I can do.”
Ye Feng threw a hundred-pound piece of Fanged Mad Pig meat on the ground.
“You have one month. If the quality of what you refine is good, we can have a deeper cooperation in the future.”
“How much deeper?” Xie Jiaren teased.
Ye Feng tactically leaned back, thinking to himself that this girl was quite provocative, but it was all talk. He sneered and didn’t respond.
“Jiaren, hurry back and work on the new Spirit Beast Feed, and don’t let down the Sect Leader’s earnest hopes,” urged Gong Qingqiu, worried that if Xie Jiaren continued to stay, she would cause various troubles for Ye Feng.
“Auntie Gong, Sect Master Ye, there’s no need for a month. I, Xie Jiaren, will definitely be able to refine a brand new Spirit Beast Feed for you,” Xie Jiaren said.
Picking up the piece of pork, Xie Jiaren jumped onto the back of a Spirit Crane like an excited wild horse, laughing heartily as she quickly flew away.
“She’s really hopeless,” Gong Qingqiu said, massaging her forehead.
Turning his gaze away from the departing Xie Jiaren, Ye Feng looked at the fragrant Gong Qingqiu beside him and asked, “I’m very curious about your relationship with her.”
Gong Qingqiu lightly pursed her lips, lost in thought, and after a long while, said, “Strictly speaking, Xie Jiaren and I are distant relatives.”
“Her mother’s brother’s Dual Cultivation Companion is the sister of my big brother’s Dual Cultivation Companion. The relationship might sound complicated, but it’s actually easy to understand,” Gong Qingqiu elaborated.
Hearing this, Ye Feng made a strange face.
In plain terms, Gong Qingqiu and Xie Jiaren were not blood-related, just ordinary distant relatives.
Nonetheless, it seemed like the two of them had a deep relationship.
“Elder Gong, continue to prepare for the Sect’s advancement to star-level. It would be best to complete the promotion by next spring,” Ye Feng set a minor goal.
The year was drawing to a close, and there was about a month until spring, which gave Gong Qingqiu plenty of time.
She nodded her chin, which was as delicate as jade, and said, “Rest assured, Sect Leader, I will do my utmost to ensure that the Sect successfully passes the star-level Sect accreditation.”
“You’ve worked hard,” Ye Feng thanked her.
…
Nanlu Mountain Range.
Jia Yulan and Yan Ruyu were flying through the mountains on a pink bird, carrying a bamboo basket, and collecting unfamiliar young spiritual medicines they encountered, planning to bring them back to expand the Spiritual Medicine Garden.
However, they did not dig up everything; they only took half of each type of spiritual medicine to ensure they could continue harvesting them later on.
Mo Ying, Shi Lei, Qiao Jiaxi, and disciples from different batches were also searching for spiritual medicines at a rapid pace.
Seven days later.
Huo Yunjie was still in closed-door cultivation.
Wang Ping’an was practicing alchemy.
Although he had successfully refined a hundred Cultivation Qi Pills, Ye Feng immediately assigned him a new task without a chance to speak.
At the top of Misty Peak, there was a rare moment of tranquility.
Another seven days passed.
The disciples had made several trips back and forth, bringing back an abundance of spiritual medicines and Spirit Soil, enough to last a very long time.
Within the Miniature Cave Heaven World.
Ye Feng and Gong Qingqiu stood on the ground, looking at the fifty-meter square medicinal field in front of them, divided into forty plots filled with rich Spirit Soil and planted with various spiritual medicines.
All the disciples had returned.
Some were carrying Spirit Spring Water to water the spiritual medicines, others were digging the soil to plant new spiritual medicines.
Yan Ruyu floated above the plots, stimulating the growth of the spiritual medicines to ensure a hundred percent survival rate.
Looking over, the entire Spiritual Medicine Garden was colorful and full of vitality.
“Over thirteen thousand spiritual medicine plants, far exceeding the requirements,” Gong Qingqiu pointed to the surrounding plots, where rows of different-sized Spirit Trees were thriving, “Thanks to Mo Ying, who dug up more than a dozen century-old spiritual medicines in the Taiyue Mountain Range, and with Ru Yu’s help, ensured all of them survived. With this, there should be no problem with the accreditation of the Spiritual Medicine Garden.”
“Very good,” Ye Feng nodded satisfactorily.
It was said that many hands make light work, and looking at it now, it was indeed true.
In less than half a month, the scale of the Spiritual Medicine Garden had grown more than tenfold, with century-old spiritual medicines at its core… although they were dug up from elsewhere.
As long as the requirements were met, it was enough!
“Sect Leader, I’ve finished,” Yan Ruyu withdrew her hands, having stimulated the growth of all the spiritual medicines in the plots to ensure their survival.
With the daily watering from the Spiritual Spring and occasional addition of Spirit Soil and fertilizer made from Spirit Beast Feed, the growth of the Spiritual Medicine Garden’s plants would be stable.
“You did well.”
Ye Feng gently stroked Yan Ruyu’s hair, looked around at the colorful Spiritual Medicine Garden, and noticed that the Bizarre Spirit Fruit Tree he had brought back from the Three Thousand Realms had finally survived, which gladdened his heart even more.
“In a while, once the situation stabilizes, I will immediately contact Elder Hongmeng and ask her to conduct a comprehensive assessment for our Misty Sect,”
Ye Feng said to Gong Qingqiu beside him.
“Elder Hongmeng is in charge of assessing One-star Sects for their promotion. Since the Sect Leader is acquainted with her, we can ask her to take a look first to make sure there are no problems before proceeding with the formal Star-Level Sect appraisal,” Gong Qingqiu advised.
“Good, very steady,” Ye Feng nodded in agreement.
The group quickly left the Miniature Cave Heaven World.
The Spiritual Medicine Garden was taken care of by Jia Yulan, Yan Ruyu, Xia He, and Qiu Ju, so there were virtually no issues.
The other disciples returned to their own rooms to cultivate.
As Ye Feng and Gong Qingqiu walked and talked, they arrived at the edge of a cliff and saw a two-meter-tall green vine growing there.
This plant was tender green, as thick as a thumb, straight as it reached towards the sky, and bearing a dozen or so fresh leaves that greedily absorbed sunlight and nature’s spiritual energy, thriving robustly.
This was one of the Sky-reaching Green Vines.
The other two were planted nearby at the edge of the cliff, ten meters apart.
“The growth of the Sky-reaching Green Vines requires a lot of time, but even though they are only about ten days old, they can already exert considerable power,” Gong Qingqiu pointed out, looking at the vine in front of her.
A poisonous bee passed by, buzzing loudly.
Whack!
The Sky-reaching Green Vine suddenly split open, transforming into countless tiny vines that entangled the bee. A slender tendril pierced through it, and in moments, the bee was devoured, leaving nothing but an empty husk on the ground.
“Not bad,” Ye Feng said with a slight smile.
The three Sky-reaching Green Vines were Spirit Seeds awarded by the System. Upon planting, they automatically came under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Beast Pavilion, but since they had not awakened their spiritual intelligence, they temporarily did not count as Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts.
Nevertheless, they had already learned to defend their home.
Upon identifying the poisonous bee as an invading enemy, the Sky-reaching Green Vine would automatically attack and devour it, resolving the threat and, at the same time, enhancing itself.
“With Lao Song and the Sky-reaching Green Vines protecting our home, along with the Five Elements Continuous Array, one couldn’t enter without the strength of at least the sixth layer of the Element Gathering Realm,” Ye Feng mused to himself.
He was very satisfied with Misty Sect’s defensive measures.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
One day, a heavy oppressive force suddenly emanated from Huo Yunjie’s room, as if countless breaths were condensing and transforming.
“Condensing Qi into Reality, this is the sign of advancing to the Element Gathering Realm. There is also a hint of spiritual intent stirring; it seems that Huo Yunjie’s Spiritual Sense is about to be born with a success rate above eighty percent,” analyzed Gong Qingqiu, who could tell the details at a glance with her mature experience.
In the backyard.
Numerous disciples gathered in the courtyard, looking at the door of Huo Yunjie’s room with faces full of expectancy.
“He’s about to have a breakthrough,” Mo Ying whispered.
“Junior Brother, you must succeed!” Shi Lei, nervous, covered Wang Ping’an’s mouth to stop him from speaking.
Swoosh!
The surrounding Spiritual Energy, like a river struck by a giant stone, created a tide of spiritual energy that surged towards Huo Yunjie’s room, constantly infusing into his body to aid in his breakthrough.
Everyone anxiously waited for half an hour.
Creak.
Huo Yunjie pushed open the wooden door and walked out looking tired, his body covered in sweat, but his aura had strengthened tenfold.
This was the aura of someone who had reached the first layer of the Element Gathering Realm!
“He did it!”
The disciples cheered.
Not far away, Ye Feng sat in a lounge chair, not the least bit surprised.
During Huo Yunjie’s breakthrough, the System had already indicated a one hundred percent chance of success; as long as there were no interruptions, the breakthrough was certain.
“Sect Leader, Misty Sect has added another genius disciple at the Element Gathering realm. As soon as he is certified, we will be a true Star-Level Force,” Gong Qingqiu said excitedly, her beautiful face filled with joy.
Seeing the sect she had joined growing stronger, pride swelled within her.
“Yun Jie is of a lower grade root bone and not highly talented. His successful breakthrough can mainly be attributed to his diligence and hard work, which made his foundation solid. In addition, he made sure he was thoroughly prepared. On the other hand, Mo Ying’s attempt at a breakthrough was too rushed, which is why she failed,” Ye Feng analyzed quietly.
He extended his right hand, and a glowing orb hovered above his palm.
Half an hour ago, the task of building the Spiritual Medicine Garden was finally settled, and he had earned an opportunity for Miniature World Remodeling.
Because Huo Yunjie was in the midst of a breakthrough, Ye Feng had not used it yet.
But now, the time was ripe.
“With this opportunity, I can create a third Miniature Spirit Vein on Misty Peak, which is critical for the future development of the sect. The site selection must not be taken lightly,” Ye Feng murmured as he soared into the sky.
