Chapter 208: Chapter 208 Star-Level Sect Task, Duplication Crystal
“Finally, it’s here!”
Ye Feng was very much looking forward to the third phase of the mission. He rubbed his hands together and opened the mission panel.
[Sect Leader’s Third Phase Mission]
[Mission Description: Lead the Misty Sect to ascend to a Star-Level Sect]
[Mission Deadline: One year]
[Mission Reward: Fifth Grade Magic “Primordial Unity Qi”, 1 Mysterious Supreme Grade Spiritual Weapon, 1 Mysterious Upper Grade Spiritual Weapon, 1 Medium-sized Sect Protection Array, 3 Explosive Spirit Pills, 3 Wonderful Transformation Spirit Pills, 3 Miniaturized World Transformations, 1 Auxiliary Cultivation Method, 3 Special Small Gift Packs]
The third phase mission was precisely the Star-Level Sect mission.
However, Ye Feng was surprised.
Because the content of this mission was scarce.
Its only requirement was to lead the Misty Sect to ascend to a Star-Level Sect!
As for the detailed mission requirements, they were not listed.
Compared to the very detailed second phase Sect Leader mission, the Star-Level Sect mission turned out to be much simpler, but the listed rewards made Ye Feng swallow hard.
It had to be said, the reward was indeed generous!
“System, does it mean that the mission is complete as long as the sect ascends to one-star level?” Ye Feng asked inwardly.
“Yes,” the system replied.
Ye Feng showed a look of realization, “It seems that the system won’t give me any special requirements or add any restrictions. As long as the Misty Sect gets the recognition from County King City, it can upgrade to a Star-Level Sect and simultaneously pass the system’s assessment.”
The assessments for ordinary Lower Rank, Middle Rank, and High Ranked Sects are the responsibility of the Star-Level Sects in the region where those sects are located.
As for the promotion of Star-Level Sects, they are audited by even higher-level sects.
Ye Feng researched ancient books and found that once a Five-Star top-tier sect appears, if it attempts to ascend to an Immortal Holy Land, it needs to pass the assessments set by at least three Holy Lands on the Shenzhou Continent.
However, the path to ascending a Holy Land is not singular.
For example, defeating other Holy Lands into submission is also possible.
For the entire Shenzhou Continent, the birth of each Holy Land is the most important event.
Ye Feng was unclear about the forces beyond that.
He only knew that the Holy Lands were recognized as the strongest forces by the Shenzhou Continent.
“It looks like I’ll have to find some time to visit the Yunhua Sect or Liuyun Sect for insights to see what the Misty Sect is lacking to advance to a Star-Level Sect,” Ye Feng muttered to himself.
As for why he did not go to Whitefloat City, that was because the recognition of cities as star-level differed from that of sects, and learning from Yunhua Sect would be more reliable.
“I’ve talked about it so many times before, but now, it’s truly time to visit Yunhua Sect,” Ye Feng murmured to himself, planning to set off in the next few days.
But as he looked towards Beacon Fire City, he noticed Huo Yunjie, Shi Lei, and Ouyang Feng flying back with solemn expressions on their faces.
“Sect Master Uncle, there’s a major event!” Before landing, Huo Yunjie immediately spoke in a grave voice.
Ye Feng was startled, “What happened?”
“Have you heard of Demon City?” Huo Yunjie asked.
“Yes, what about it?” Ye Feng asked.
“Today, I had a meal appointment, where Fellow Daoist Lin Yuyan told me that Shuiyang City has turned into Demon City, with a Demon King at its helm, incredibly fearsome. They plan to invade powers within a thousand-mile radius, including Whitefloat City and our Misty Sect.”
Huo Yunjie looked worried.
Ye Feng: “Oh, then what?”
“Uh…” Seeing that Ye Feng didn’t seem very worried, Huo Yunjie hurriedly pressed on, “Sect Master Uncle, that’s a Demon King we’re talking about!”
“Stay calm, the Demon City won’t be a threat for now,” Ye Feng waved his hand.
Huo Yunjie’s eyes widened in surprise, “It seems, Sect Master Uncle must know something. Indeed, I’ve heard that the Demon City was attacked by a mysterious peak Element Gathering Realm powerhouse and suffered heavy losses, and it won’t recover for a few years, so there’s no need to worry for now.”
“Of course,” Ye Feng nodded.
About the Demon City, Ye Feng figured no one knew better than himself, since he was the one causing trouble in the Demon City that night.
However, remembering the fearsome Giant Earth Ape, Ye Feng realized that his sense of impending crisis grew stronger with time.
This feeling was as though the Giant Earth Ape had grown stronger!
“Sect Leader, Sect Master Uncle?” At that moment, the voices of Ouyang Feng and Shi Lei pulled Ye Feng back to reality.
“What is it?” Ye Feng quickly asked.
“Following your instructions, we sold over ten Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts that we didn’t need to the Store Owner of Wuxuange Pavilion. He was very satisfied, praising the quality of our spiritual weapons, and we obtained a total of two thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones,” they said.
Ouyang Feng took out a ledger, “Then, we used a thousand spirit stones to purchase the three types of materials you required, as well as a batch of unrefined spirit ore.”
Having said that, he placed three thumb-sized pieces of spirit material on the table, colored gold, pale silver, and Baiyu jade respectively.
Ye Feng looked at them and smiled at the corners of his lips.
Adding the Warm Sun Jadeite obtained from the mission reward, along with some stock in the System Space, he finally gathered the materials needed to refine the spiritual weapon capable of duplicating all things.
“Very good, next, watch my performance,” he said.
Ye Feng took out more than a dozen translucent spirit materials refined into square bricks, tossed them into the refining furnace along with the Warm Sun Jadeite and other materials, and then stuffed in five medium grade spirit stones.
Cling clang!
The refining furnace began to work again.
Ye Feng fanned with a Mini Banana Palm Fan to blow away the black smoke coming from the top of the furnace, standing watch by its side.
The disciples stood around watching.
“Sect Master Uncle, what are you refining now?” Li Jiaojiao, having just finished chopping vegetables, came over to this place and, seeing smoke rising from the refining furnace again, became curious.
“A spiritual artifact like none before!” Ye Feng declared.
The disciples fell silent.
They waited quietly, eager to know what kind of spiritual artifact it was that even the Sect Master held in such high regard.
Half an hour later.
Clang!
The lid of the furnace opened.
A burst of colorful radiance spilled out, forming a multicolored flower at the mouth of the furnace, cradling a skull-sized, hollow crystal ball that refracted countless dazzling rays of light under the sun.
“What a beautiful spiritual artifact!” Li Jiaojiao admired.
Ye Feng stretched out his hand to hold the crystal ball, bonded it with his blood, branded it with the System imprint, and refined it into an exquisite spiritual artifact similar to the Spirit Origin Clock and Mini Banana Palm Fan.
In his sight, several lines of text also appeared.
[Duplication Crystal: Middle Grade Spiritual Weapon]
[Introduction: Engraved with a sophisticated Spirit Attracting Formation, it can be used provided there is sufficient spiritual energy; it scans the object to be duplicated, analyzes its components, and then takes the necessary elements from lifeless, ownerless, and unbound “three-no” substances within a radius of ten miles to create the desired duplicated object out of thin air]
[Bound to: Ye Feng]
After browsing the introduction of “Duplication Crystal,” Ye Feng blinked, then scratched his head, finding this item to be quite good.
Although it couldn’t reach the invincible method of “creating something out of nothing” like those great powers in cultivation, being able to use surrounding materials for duplication was quite nice.
“Unless it’s objects with extremely scarce raw materials, this middle grade Duplication Crystal should suffice to duplicate most things needed,” Ye Feng put away the refining furnace, holding the Duplication Crystal, and turned towards the curious disciples.
“Sect Master, what is the use of this crystal ball?” Ji Ziling voiced the common doubt in everyone’s hearts.
“Its uses are immense!” Ye Feng smiled mysteriously, and recalled he had yet to use his daily wish, so he spoke to the sky, “I wish for a beautifully crafted glass cup.”
Out of thin air, a tall glass goblet appeared on the table.
Ji Ziling was witnessing Ye Feng making a wish for the first time and was shaken; she tapped the goblet on the table, producing a crisp sound.
“Next, the moment to witness a miracle!” Having said that, Ye Feng began to operate the Duplication Crystal, scanning the data of the glass goblet.
Moments later, everyone noticed a three-dimensional hologram of the goblet appearing inside the crystal, spreading a soft radiance and enveloping an area with a ten-mile radius.
“Look, the cup inside the crystal is solidifying!”
“It seems to be, truly magical.”
The disciples watched intently, amazed at the incredible phenomenon and unable to help exclaiming.
Ye Feng smiled slightly.
“Next, there’s something even more magical!”
He projected the fully solidified glass goblet onto the table, and right beside the original one, an identical cup quickly appeared.
With this, the duplication was complete.
Ye Feng picked up the two glass goblets, clinked them together, and they produced a clear sound; the entire duplication process was perfect.
“Is this creating something out of nothing?”
“No, this is creating something out of the void!”
“Legend has it that creating from the void is a method of divine spirits. Who would have thought the Sect Master possessed such a miraculous skill, like a divine spirit among mortals.”
The disciples stared at the two goblets, their expressions full of shock.
