Chapter 274: Chapter 274: The New Star-Level Sect, Misty Sect
A few days ago, Mo Wenshi had already received a message.
In the letter, Elder Hongmeng explained the private appraisal she conducted for Misty Sect, mentioning a rough account of the Scripture Pavilion, the number of Spirit Veins, the cultivation levels of the sect disciples, Spirit Beast Pavilion, Spiritual Medicine Garden, alchemy, artifact refining, talisman-making, and other aspects.
Upon knowing this, Mo Wenshi was certain that Misty Sect absolutely met the promotion criteria for a Star-Level Sect. His visit this time was merely a formality, intending to make friends.
“Good, let’s not delay any longer, let’s start the evaluation right away!” Ye Feng said with profound meaning, glancing at Han Er, then addressing Mo Wenshi.
“Very well, let’s get ready to begin,” Mo Wenshi nodded.
He was unaware of Han Er’s origins, nor did he know why Ye Feng repeatedly looked towards Han Er; he might have felt a sense of familiarity but did not inquire further.
Atop Misty Peak.
“We have seen the elders and stewards from County King City.” All disciples stood in a line, saluting Mo Wenshi and his party with cupped hands.
“Truly worthy of Misty Sect, to have two genius disciples at the Element Gathering Realm level; their future achievements are boundless!” Mo Wenshi swept through with his spiritual sense and immediately his eyes revealed a surprised expression.
Although he had already received the news, now that he saw with his own eyes, Mo Wenshi found that the number of Misty Sect’s disciples was not large, yet each of them had a solid foundation. Although it was not visible whether they had cultivated any Auxiliary Cultivation Methods, their strength was undoubtedly strong.
“It is indeed the aura of the ‘Nine Revolutions Heavenly God Technique’!” Han Er, on the other hand, was staring at Ji Ziling, his eyelids twitching wildly.
His gaze swept over and landed on the boulder in the backyard; his pupils abruptly narrowed, and his heart was greatly shaken:
“Our Miniature Cave Heaven World is actually here?”
“I understand now!”
“The one who killed Han San and erased all traces was Misty Sect’s Sect Leader Ye Feng!”
“Only Ye Feng, a top powerhouse with the strength of the Spirit Sea Realm, could break through Han Yi’s seal.”
“So that’s what all this has been about!”
On the surface, Han Er appeared calm, but waves of shock surged within him, unable to settle for a long time. He was restless, wishing he could return to County King City right now to deliver the news to Han Yi.
At that moment, Mo Wenshi stroked his long beard, smiling and saying: “Your sect is teeming with talents, not only boasting two disciples of the Element Gathering Realm but also two Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts of the Demon General Level. As for the number of Spirit Veins, you have as many as three. All these aspects meet the requirements.”
Even though he was just going through the motions, Mo Wenshi still needed to be serious about it.
However, he found that the various conditions of Misty Sect were truly excellent, and even by the strictest standards, they absolutely met the requirements.
“Next, let us proceed to the Scripture Pavilion,” said Mo Wenshi, the Great Elder, walking ahead alongside Ye Feng.
“The scriptures in the Scripture Pavilion are sealed by talismans and require a specific method to retrieve them. Allow me to open the bookshelf drawers for you,” Ji Ziling stepped forward, forming a hand gesture with her left hand, and her right hand emitted a faint light as she removed a yellow-brown talisman.
The talisman was refined by Gong Qingqiu.
But the regular management was entrusted to Ji Ziling.
As the drawers on the first level were opened one by one, the four stewards quickly stepped forward to inspect, recording the names of the First Grade Spells of Misty Sect and verifying their authenticity.
After half an incense stick burned.
“To report to the elder, Misty Sect has a total of one hundred and fifty First Grade Spells,” reported a young and beautiful Element Gathering Realm first-level steward.
“Hmm, not bad,” Mo Wenshi nodded in approval.
Subsequently, the group sequentially visited the second and third levels, determining whether Misty Sect had Second Grade Spells, Third Grade Spells, and how many.
The entire process went smoothly.
Standing at the foot of the Scripture Pavilion, Mo Wenshi stated, “Sect Master Ye, your sect’s Scripture Pavilion meets the requirements, and this aspect has also passed the evaluation.”
“Next is the Spiritual Medicine Garden. Everyone, please follow me,” Ye Feng led the way, bringing everyone into the Miniature Cave Heaven World.
Looking over the expanse of lush Spiritual Medicine Fields, Elder Mo Wenshi praised, “I had long heard that Misty Sect possesses a Miniature Cave Heaven World, and now seeing it firsthand, it truly lives up to its reputation. The spiritual energy inside is also very rich, suitable for cultivating spiritual medicine.”
Han Er kept his head down.
“This Miniature Cave Heaven World was originally ours, the Divine Race’s, but it was seized by Ye Feng!”
His inner voice roared, yet he dared not speak out loud.
After all, once the identity of the “Divine Race undercover” was exposed, both he and Han Yi would face devastating blows; the lower their profile, the better.
A quarter of an hour later.
The four stewards saluted Mo Wenshi: “To report to the Great Elder, Misty Sect’s total number of spiritual medicines exceeds thirteen thousand, with more than ten plants that are over a hundred years old.”
“Very good, the Spiritual Medicine Garden has passed the assessment,” Mo Wenshi announced the result with a wave of his hand.
Ye Feng glanced at Han Er, who kept his head down without speaking, and sneered inwardly, convinced that this man must be a spy from the Divine Race.
As they left the Miniature Cave Heaven World, Mo Wenshi said to Ye Feng, “Sect Master Ye, next, we just need to evaluate alchemy and artifact refining, and your sect will have passed the final assessment.”
“There’s no issue with alchemy and artifact refining,” Ye Feng said, looking at Wang Ping’an and Gong Qingqiu, “Ping An, take care of the alchemy. Elder Gong, talisman-making is in your hands.”
“Yes.”
Both responded in unison.
At the summit of Misty Peak, on a clearing.
Everyone watched Wang Ping’an start to cook over a fire, their eyes wide with astonishment.
“What… what kind of alchemy method is this?” Even Mo Wenshi was taken aback; he knew that the Misty Sect had alchemists but had no idea they used iron pots for alchemy!
Compared to Wang Ping’an, Gong Qingqiu’s talisman inscription process was very pleasing to the eye.
She held the brush steadily without a single error.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Gong Qingqiu had finished inscribing a Middle-Grade Talisman “Quake Talisman,” which upon activation could cause a super earthquake within a radius of several hundred meters. Even someone in the Element Gathering Realm would be suppressed if caught within its range.
“As expected of Immortal Maiden Gong, among cultivators under the age of one hundred, your talisman inscribing skills are definitely top-notch,” praised Mo Wenshi.
Meanwhile, Wang Ping’an continued with his alchemy.
He was a bit nervous, but his actions were not disordered.
In less than half an hour, seven elixir pills were rolled out, stunning everyone present.
“So there’s also this kind of alchemy method, tsk tsk, quite the learning experience,” Mo Wenshi laughed, watching Wang Ping’an refine the elixir pills with the spiritual fire in his palm.
Pfft! Pfft!
Two elixir pills shattered into ash, but the rest remained intact. Under the refinement of the spiritual fire, they emitted a rich medicinal fragrance and successfully became elixirs.
“Brilliant!” Mo Wenshi clapped his hands in praise.
Today’s visit to the Misty Sect for evaluation was an eye-opener for him as he witnessed the Iron Pot Pill Stewing Method for the first time. He had a great time chatting with Ye Feng, completed the evaluation task, and also fulfilled the Hall Master’s assignment, leaving him feeling very happy.
He turned around, looking at the four stewards, “What are the evaluation results?”
The young female steward stepped forward and said, “Reporting to the Great Elder, after a comprehensive evaluation of the High Ranked Sect, the Misty Sect meets the conditions to be promoted to a comprehensive class Star-Level Force and can be rated as a One-Star Force.”
After speaking, she closed the record book.
As her voice fell, the entire place went silent.
Ye Feng held his breath, a gleam of light flickering in his eyes, his expression gradually growing excited.
It was a success!
The Misty Sect had passed the star-level sect evaluation and could now become a genuine Star-Level Force. The system rewards should also be ready to be distributed.
Thinking this, Ye Feng grew even more excited.
“We passed!”
“Our Misty Sect finally has the day to be promoted to a star-level force. The Old Sect Leader’s spirit in heaven will definitely be grinning from ear to ear.”
After a brief silence, the disciples began to cheer in succession.
Shi Lei desperately covered Wang Ping’an’s mouth to prevent any jinxing.
The remaining disciples, Huo Yunjie, Li Jiaojiao, Mo Ying, Long Tianxing, Jia Yulan, Xia He, Qiu Ju, Ouyang Feng, Ouyang Yu, Yan Ruyu, Qiao Jiaxi, Ji Ziling, and the other twelve held the flowers they had prepared in advance and scattered them continuously.
Gong Qingqiu stood amidst the flowers, looking at her disciples’ sunny and joyful faces and then at Ye Feng’s upright and steady silhouette, the corners of her mouth slightly curling up.
“Misty Sect… from now on, this should be my only home. I really hope that in my lifetime, I can help the Sect Leader turn this into a Two-Star or even a Three-Star powerful force.”
Gong Qingqiu clenched her hands tightly, finally stepping out of the shadow of Shuiyang City’s destruction, her eyes gradually brightening.
“Congratulations Sect Master Ye, from today onwards, the Misty Sect will be the newest star-level sect in the Southern River Basin. Sect Master Ye may choose to rename the Misty Sect to Misty Sect or Misty Gate,” said Mo Wenshi as he first offered his congratulations, and then he gave a reminder.
“Rename?” Ye Feng was taken aback.
He didn’t know this was possible.
Gong Qingqiu took a few steps forward and explained, “Generally, once a sect is promoted to a star-level force, they will adopt a title such as ‘gate,’ ‘teaching,’ or ‘sect’ to distinguish themselves from ordinary sects and as a symbol of honor.”
“Then let’s change it!” Ye Feng agreed right away.
Although the name “Misty Sect” was chosen by the Old Sect Leader, he would definitely wish for the Misty Sect to become a Star-Level Force. Renaming it to “Misty Sect” would surely make him grin from beyond the grave.
“Alright, from today onwards, the Misty Sect shall be known as Misty Sect. When we return, we will register it,” said Mo Wenshi as he bowed to Ye Feng.
“Thank you, there’s no need to see me off!” Ye Feng nodded.
After seeing off Mo Wenshi and his party, Ye Feng let the disciples entertain themselves, and he rushed into the Sect Leader’s Great Hall.
He was very excited.
Because the Misty Sect had now been promoted to a star-level sect, the system reward was also on the way!
