Chapter 13: Chapter 13: This Young Master Long Qitian
Translator: 549690339
The next morning dawned.
Ye Feng opened his eyes.
At that moment, he felt the entire world turn into a kaleidoscope of colors, strikingly bizarre, which made him jump in fright.
“Mom, I’ve seen a ghost!”
His shout alarmed the entire Misty Sect.
“Sect Master Uncle, what’s wrong?”
Senior Disciple Shi Lei asked anxiously, while Huo Yunjie and Li Jiaojiao also looked over with concern.
“I think I’ve gone blind.”
Ye Feng stared with wide eyes at Shi Lei standing in front of him, noticing the various colors of light flowing over his body, extremely dazzling.
“Blind?”
Shi Lei waved his hand in front of Ye Feng’s face.
“If I weren’t blind, why would I see only light on your body, like some rainbow-colored gourd doll.”
Ye Feng wore a look of distress.
Not only had he not achieved success in cultivation, but now his eyes seemed to have gone blind before anything else—it was just too miserable.
“Congratulations, Sect Master Uncle, you’ve awakened your Spirit Eyes!”
The disciples were not only unfazed, but they also burst with joy upon hearing this.
Mo Ying also finished her cultivation and looked at Ye Feng with surprise.
“To awaken the Spirit Eyes in one night, this talent, it must be at least a Middle Grade aptitude, right?”
She, with an Upper Grade aptitude, had also spent a full six hours to succeed after washing her eyes with the Spirit Eye Liquid, and Ye Feng succeeded in just one night, not much slower than her.
“What, I’ve awakened the Spirit Eyes?”
Ye Feng’s worries vanished, replaced by a face full of joy.
“Sect Master Uncle, let me teach you how to use the Spirit Eyes. First, you need to learn to control your eyes with your intention until you can smoothly switch between Spirit Eyes and normal vision. There are many details to this, so listen to me closely…” Shi Lei spoke seriously.
With his help, Ye Feng quickly mastered the switching of Spirit Eyes.
With just a thought, Ye Feng could see the flowing colors of light in the world.
It was nature’s spiritual energy, in constant motion.
Anything that contained spiritual energy would have nowhere to hide under the scrutiny of Spirit Eyes.
For example, if Ye Feng used his Spirit Eyes on the Little White Fox, he could see the flow of spiritual energy within its body.
Without using the Spirit Eyes, the scenes he saw with his eyes would be the same as usual, though his vision was clearly much better than before.
He could see every leg of an ant ten meters away with crystal clarity.
“So this is what it’s like to be a cultivator!”
Ye Feng’s expression became gradually comical.
He activated his Spirit Eyes to look at himself and then fell into thought.
There was no spiritual energy on his body at all!
“I’m supposed to have cultivation, aren’t I? So why is there no spiritual energy?” Ye Feng was baffled.
He hurriedly opened the system panel to look at the first line.
[Sect Leader: Ye Feng (Qi Refinement Nine Peaks+)]
This cultivation level was the sum of his disciples Shi Lei, Huo Yunjie, Li Jiaojiao, and Mo Ying, with an additional “+” sign at the end.
This indicated that his cultivation was a bit higher than the regular Qi Refinement Nine Peaks.
However, even after awakening his Spirit Eyes, Ye Feng still couldn’t feel his own cultivation level.
He couldn’t even see it.
“Dog System, what’s the deal?”
Ye Feng was getting a bit angry.
No cultivation would have been fine, but to indicate “Qi Refinement Nine Peaks+” next to his name on the system—wasn’t this misleading?
Fortunately, he had awakened his Spirit Eyes, and it wouldn’t be a problem to cultivate on his own in the future.
Ye Feng gathered his thoughts and with a grand wave announced, “Let’s go, we’re heading to Whitefloat City to recruit new disciples.”
“Sect Master Uncle, what about Xiao Bai?”
Li Jiaojiao pointed to the Little White Fox in her arms, dozing so peacefully that even their conversation hadn’t disturbed it; it had even found a more comfortable position to sleep in.
“Bring it along!”
…
A “swoosh” sound.
The flying sword, bearing an even heavier pressure, slowly rose into the air, heading toward Whitefloat City.
In mid-air.
Ye Feng glanced back at Misty Peak with his Spirit Eyes and saw a colorful Spiritual Energy Vortex on the summit, with the density of spiritual energy several times higher than in other places.
This was the legendary “blessed land”.
Of course, it was only the most basic level, and most lower-rank sects chose such places for their sites.
Half an hour later.
In Whitefloat City, on a vast plaza.
This was the “Hundred Sects Plaza,” specially built by the City Lord’s Mansion for various sects. There were hundreds of vacant tables and chairs, and when sects needed to recruit new members, they usually did so here.
Although it was still early, there were already people from more than a dozen sects gathered around.
Ye Feng erected two bamboo poles and tied a white cloth banner between them with the words “Spell Teaching Guaranteed” written on it, immediately attracting the attention of disciples from the various sects.
“Yo, isn’t this the Misty Sect that defeated the Scarlet Serpent Sect yesterday? Spell teaching guaranteed? Teach me!”
A male disciple, as fat as a pig, swaggered over, pointing at the words on the banner.
“You don’t meet the entry requirements of our sect,”
Ye Feng glanced at the fat one and said.
Using his Spirit Eyes, he saw the density of spiritual energy on the person and determined that this was a third layer Qi Refinement cultivator who could become a registered disciple if he was accepted.
But, just when he had that thought, he received a System notification: “Already belongs to a sect, does not meet the requirements.”
That’s why Ye Feng said what he did.
“Psh, I’m a disciple of a middle-rank sect. Why would I join your minor lower-rank sect? As for this guaranteed spell teaching, it must be a scam, right?”
The fat disciple narrowed his eyes into slits, speaking with ill intent.
Ye Feng looked at the fat disciple and asked, “Do you know what the difference is between you and everyone else?”
The fat disciple was taken aback, “What difference?”
“The difference is that by standing in front of us, you block more people’s view than anyone else. So please move aside and don’t interfere with our recruitment of new disciples.”
With a “snap,” Ye Feng placed the Sect Leader’s Seal on the table. Seeing this, the fat disciple immediately shut his mouth and left.
Though Ye Feng was the leader of a lower-rank sect, he was also under the protection of the City Lord’s Mansion.
A third layer Qi Refinement cultivator like the fat one couldn’t afford to offend him.
“Shi Lei, advertise.”
At that moment, Ye Feng instructed.
Shi Lei stood next to the table, his hands cupped around his mouth like a megaphone, and shouted loudly:
“Don’t miss out passing by, join the Misty Sect and receive a bottle of Spirit Eye Liquid upon entry, guaranteed spell teaching. Limited spots available, first come first serve, until fully redeemed!”
As soon as the voice rang out, many turned their heads to look.
“Spirit Eye Liquid as a gift?”
“Let’s go check it out!”
Many passersby were attracted.
“Is it true that you get Spirit Eye Liquid for joining Misty Sect?”
“Isn’t it a scam?”
“How can a lower-rank sect have so much Spirit Eye Liquid?”
Most people were there just to watch the excitement.
“Misty Sect defeated the Scarlet Serpent Sect and exchanged a Sect Territory Deed for one hundred Spirit Stones and ten bottles of Spirit Eye Liquid. They’re quite wealthy right now!”
At that moment, a middle-aged passerby spoke up.
He had witnessed the challenge between Misty Sect and Scarlet Serpent Sect with his own eyes and knew many of the “truths.”
“Really?”
Many mortals who had not yet reached the Gazing Breath Realm had their eyes light up and quickly formed a long queue.
“Misty Sect? Not a bad name, this young master is quite interested.”
A frivolous young man’s voice came over, causing everyone to look in his direction.
They saw a young nobleman approach, a young woman on each arm.
Behind him followed two middle-aged guards with knives at the fifth layer of Qi Refinement, looking very fierce.
