Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Crafting the Cave Heaven World, Forging the Five Elements Spirit Sword
“So you are the daughter of the Alliance Leader of the Myriad Islands, my apologies for the oversight,” Ye Feng said, bowing his hands in response.
Eager to try his hand, Brother Flathead was subtly warned by Ye Feng and could only droop his head, imagining in his mind a scenario where he battled with the five Spirit Sea Realm Great Elders of the Myriad Islands Alliance.
As far as Brother Flathead was concerned, Elder Hongmeng and Mo Minxi were not worthy to fight with him.
Because they couldn’t kill him!
Ye Feng had no idea what Brother Flathead was thinking.
At this moment, a sea dragon of the Dragon Clan with two horns atop its head stepped forward, hands behind its back, and looked at Ye Feng, saying, “I am the Myriad Islands Alliance Great Elder, the Blue Dragon King. Master Ye, if we ask you to craft thirty-six Miniature Cave Heaven Worlds, what reward would you ask for?”
“At least one Upper Grade Spirit Stone, and no special requirements for the other aspects,” Ye Feng replied, although the several people before him were from the Spirit Sea Realm and possessed imposing auras, he was not very afraid.
“Upper Grade Spirit Stones are too scarce, usually, only medium-sized or larger Spirit Veins can produce them in significant quantities. Although our Myriad Islands Alliance does possess Upper Grade Spirit Stones, we wouldn’t dare to use them carelessly,” the Blue Dragon King, the Great Elder, said in a deep voice, sounding like muffled thunder.
As the Myriad Islands Alliance’s Great Elder, in the days when the Alliance Leader was absent, it was the Blue Dragon King who assisted the Young Alliance Leader Mo Minxi.
“Is it this thing?”
A cold voice rang out, it was Mo Minxi speaking.
She raised her snow-white, delicate palm, and in the center of her hand lay a pure crystal stone with vibrant colors, exuding an extremely rich spiritual pressure.
This was… an Upper Grade Spirit Stone!
It was Ye Feng’s first time seeing a Spirit Stone of such high quality. He discovered there was even a Spiritual Energy Vortex contained within, giving off the impression that it was no weaker than a Miniature Spirit Vein.
At certain moments, an Upper Grade Spirit Stone could even replace the Core Nucleus of an ordinary Spirit Vein.
“Correct, it’s these Upper Grade Spirit Stones. I need just one, and the rest can be replaced with various refining materials or Middle-Grade Spirit Stones,” said Ye Feng.
Mo Minxi tossed the Upper Grade Spirit Stone towards Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was momentarily stunned, then hurried to catch it.
“This is the down payment,” she said.
Mo Minxi pointed to a distant mountain peak, “I hope Master Ye can start inscribing the first Miniature Cave Heaven Array right now. If successful, we will pay half of the reward immediately.”
Being able to inscribe arrays on the spot meant that Ye Feng’s abilities were strong enough.
Following that logic, inscribing thirty-six Miniature Cave Heaven Arrays would be along the same lines. As long as there was sufficient time, the task could be completed.
“I need these raw materials,” Ye Feng said, having put away the Upper Grade Spirit Stone, then floated a piece of paper in mid-air.
“These materials are considered expensive by other forces, but for our Myriad Islands Alliance, gathering thirty-six portions will only take half a day,” the Myriad Islands Alliance Great Elder Blue Dragon King took the material list, used Spiritual Sense to communicate, and instructed others to gather materials.
In the time it takes for half a cup of tea to steep, the first set of materials was ready.
“Let’s go!”
Ye Feng packed the materials and went to the mountain peak that Mo Minxi had indicated before. Standing on the summit, he took out his Refining Furnace and refined the first portion of materials into a Metal Leaf Blade and a ball of scorching metal liquid.
“Do we inscribe directly on the surface of the mountain, or inside?” Ye Feng turned his head around and asked Mo Minxi.
“Follow me,” the Blue Dragon King opened a stone door on the mountain, leading everyone into a hollow cave inside the mountain, before a goose-egg stone, ten meters long and three meters high, as clear as jade.
This substance was indeed a Miniature Spirit Vein!
“You want the array inscribed on the surface of the Spirit Vein?” asked Ye Feng in confusion.
“Exactly,” nodded the Blue Dragon King.
Ye Feng hesitated for a moment, then started wielding his blade with Heroic Spirit Power, each line, curve, and rune neat and orderly, matching the records on the Array Pattern chart precisely.
“Your blade-wielding skill is unparalleled!”
Elder Hongmeng, Mo Minxi, Blue Dragon King, and the others all revealed expressions of astonishment.
It seemed that Ye Feng’s array setting techniques were indeed not bad.
After half an hour,
Ye Feng finished inscribing all the array patterns, wiping off some sweat.
If not for the fear of making a mistake, he could have been faster.
However, considering there were five Demon King Level powerhouses watching him from behind, Ye Feng had no choice but to inscribe meticulously, prioritizing steadiness and quality over speed.
“A perfect array pattern!”
“Impenetrable!”
“It seems we did not invite the wrong person.”
Mo Minxi and the Blue Dragon King, among others, showed expressions of joy upon seeing the exquisitely engraved array patterns on the surface of the cobblestone.
Ye Feng put away his metal engraving tool and used Heroic Spirit Power to control the liquid metal mass as he splashed it out, filling all the array patterns on the surface of the cobblestone’s Spirit Vein. Then he embedded ten middle-grade Spirit Stones into the pre-set grooves, completing the activation.
Hum!
The Miniature Cave-Heaven Array began to glow, transforming the cobblestone into a Miniature Cave Heaven World with three exits and entrances set by Ye Feng.
“Has it succeeded?” Blue Dragon King whispered, caressing the surface of the cobblestone’s Spirit Vein. The next moment, he was sucked into it and found himself standing in a Miniature Cave Heaven World hundreds of meters long and two hundred meters high.
The Core Nucleus of the Spirit Vein quietly hovered at the center of this world, shining brilliantly.
After a short while, he left the Miniature Cave Heaven World.
“How is it?” Mo Minxi asked.
“It’s a success, perfect.” The Blue Dragon King looked at Ye Feng with a look of admiration in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Mo Minxi and the remaining four Spirit Sea Realm Supreme Elders all showed joyful expressions.
Elder Hongmeng smiled radiantly.
Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief, inwardly saying he had ultimately succeeded.
Although there were successful precedents, this was only his first time; now that he had just arrived at the Myriad Islands Alliance, it would have been quite embarrassing had his first array creation been a failure.
Fortunately, this time it was a success.
“There are still thirty-five arrays left to engrave, but the materials have not yet arrived, so let’s take a break for now!” Ye Feng said as he sat on a suspended metal leaf blade.
Although he used Heroic Spirit Power to engrave the array, he had to watch the entire process, which greatly exhausted his mental energy.
“It’s no problem as long as Master Ye can complete all the array engravings within three days,” Mo Minxi said before walking away.
“Master Ye, it’s deep into the night. You should rest in the guest room for now. We can resume the engraving when all the materials are ready tomorrow,” the Blue Dragon King intervened, taking out a Storage Bag. “Inside are two hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones and refining materials worth ten thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones, which make up half of your reward. As for the other half, I will give it to you after all the arrays are completed,” he added.
“No problem,” Ye Feng nodded.
He was then led by the Blue Dragon King to the peak of an isolated mountain, where he stayed in a grand and majestic guest residence, attended by a dozen graceful and charming women.
“Cough cough, this isn’t really my thing!”
Ye Feng sent everyone away, instructing the women to massage and shoulder-rub for Brother Flathead, preferring to be alone in the room.
“Sect Master Ye, I need to return to County King City to take care of some matters. I’ll come back to pick you up in three days,” Elder Hongmeng’s gradually fading voice came from outside.
“No problem,” Ye Feng replied.
Then, using Heroic Spirit Power, he sealed the room to ensure no one would disturb him, before taking out the Refining Furnace.
Now that he had all the materials, he couldn’t wait any longer.
The Five Elements Spirit Sword, it was time to forge it!
Only with this powerful Spiritual Artifact could he enhance his self-defense capabilities. Otherwise, Ye Feng felt a bit anxious when facing Demon Kings at the Spirit Sea Realm.
“Flame Essence, Jinling, Earth Rock, Wood Essence, and Profound Ice crystals, plus one upper-grade Spirit Stone and eighty-eight middle-grade Spirit Stones.”
Ye Feng took out these materials, mulled over them for a moment, and then carefully placed them into the high-quality Refining Furnace.
Afterward, the sound of tinkling metal followed.
“System, can you estimate the forging time?” Ye Feng asked inwardly.
“The upgraded Refining Furnace has increased forging capabilities, speeding up the process of forging lower and middle-grade spiritual artifacts by several times. However, forging an upper-grade spiritual artifact of the same level still takes a long time, estimated at six hours,” the System beeped a reply.
“Six hours? That’s about until dawn the next day, perfect timing,” Ye Feng muttered.
