Chapter 464: Chapter 464 Third Prince Ling Luotian, Tianjiao List Selection Elder
“Is this person a prince?”
“Only a prince who could have a Divine Origin Realm great power as a follower, or rather, a Protector, could garner such attention in the entire Mystique Kingdom. Could it be the Third Prince mentioned in rumors?”
“It is said that he is a top prodigy even stronger than the Heavenly Blade King Yi Zhuang, possessing supreme grade roots. Even if placed within those four-star, five-star, or even Holy Land-level forces, he would still be a genius.”
The people from various forces were all discussing amongst themselves.
Ye Feng was surprised as he looked at the man.
“The Third Prince?”
“What is he doing here?”
Ye Feng blinked, filled with curiosity.
“Come in!”
However, a visitor was a guest, so Ye Feng chose to let them through.
The next moment, the Third Prince and the grey-robed old man vanished in an instant and reappeared at the top of Misty Peak.
“I’ve seen Sect Master Ye, I am the Mystique Kingdom’s royal Third Prince, my true name is Ling Luotian.”
The Third Prince cupped his hands towards Ye Feng.
“Ling Luotian… What a good name.” Ye Feng exchanged pleasantries.
“You flatter me, Sect Master Ye,” said the Third Prince with a slight smile. “This is my Protector.”
“I’ve seen Sect Master Ye.” The grey-robed old man nodded his head.
He had heard of Ye Feng’s great name and knew that the seemingly harmless young man in front of him was a mid-level Divine Origin Realm cultivator, ranked among the top ten in the entire Mystique Kingdom.
In Ye Feng’s presence, the grey-robed old man did not dare to act arrogantly.
“Yun Jie, you have completed your task and meet the requirements to be promoted to a True Disciple. However, I have matters to discuss and would ask you to wait for some time,” Ye Feng said to Huo Yunjie and the others.
“Your disciple will take leave first.”
Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, and Qiao Jiaxi nodded. They exchanged a glance with Third Prince Ling Luotian and headed towards Feilai Peak.
“Sect Master Ye, your sect really does have an abundance of talent; even our Royal Capital’s prodigies are not your match,” complimented Third Prince Ling Luotian as he withdrew his gaze.
Ye Feng remained silent.
He observed Ling Luotian and noticed that this person also possessed a special constitution, one with a unique kind of seven-colored eyes, though he was not sure of the exact name.
As for what powerful Divine Skills he had, Ye Feng was even less aware.
However, at the current stage, none could match Ling Luotian in an equal realm battle – not Mo Ying, Qiao Jiaxi, Huo Yunjie, nor Long Tianxing.
It could not be denied that the Third Prince was truly strong!
“Third Prince, what important matter do you have that brings you to seek Misty Sect’s Sect Master Ye?” Ye Feng sat in a recliner and gestured towards two wooden chairs on the ground, indicating for the two to sit down.
The Third Prince took a seat.
The grey-robed old man did not sit; he remained standing.
“Does Sect Master Ye know of the ‘Talented Roster’?” the Third Prince Ling Luotian asked in a lowered voice.
“I do,” nodded Ye Feng.
“Eh…” Ling Luotian was taken aback, blinked, and thought to himself, “The ‘Talented Roster’ is a ranking I’ve been planning to establish recently; how could you know about it?”
“I not only know about the Talented Roster, but also about the Hidden Dragon Roster, True Dragon Roster, Flying Roster, Hundred Flowers Roster, Divine Maiden Roster, Myriad Spirits Roster…”
Ye Feng listed a plethora of ranking names.
As someone who had read countless novels, weren’t such terms just off the cuff for him?
The Third Prince was dumbfounded.
To be honest, he had never even heard some of these ranking names, yet Ye Feng rattled them off effortlessly. Could it be that the other party had traveled outside the Mystique Kingdom and knew of these?
“This Sect Master Ye is definitely no ordinary man; he has seen a great deal of the world,” Ling Luotian regarded him with a solemn face.
“Third Prince, you mentioned the ‘Talented Roster’ to me. Do you have some news to share?” Ye Feng inquired.
The Third Prince hesitated for a moment, then said, “Actually, there was no Talented Roster in our Mystique Kingdom before, and I have only recently studied a lot at a certain dynasty and plan to establish a ‘Talented Roster’ within our Mystique Kingdom.”
Ye Feng: “And then?”
The Third Prince: “The Talented Roster is meant to be open to the entire Mystique Kingdom, but my abilities are insufficient, so I cordially invite Sect Master Ye to become a permanent evaluating elder of the Talented Roster.”
“Oh?” Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.
“Regarding the list of prodigies, this prince plans to set up a hundred spots, and all cultivators under the age of thirty in the Element Gathering Realm are eligible to be on the list,” the Third Prince continued to say.
“How many people are on the selection committee, and what exactly are they supposed to do?” Ye Feng asked.
“Including Sect Master Ye, this prince has invited ten evaluators at the Divine Origin Realm level. Naturally, the initial list of prodigies will be selected by you,” explained the Third Prince.
“So you want me, the Sect Master, to recommend prodigies suitable for the list?” Ye Feng roughly understood.
“That’s the idea,” the Third Prince nodded, “I have organized a tea party, where I sincerely invite Sect Master Ye to attend and discuss with the other nine evaluators about the hundred prodigies to be added to the list.”
The list selected by the ten Divine Origin Realm evaluators holds great value and won’t invite too much skepticism.
As for the subsequent prodigy list, it will be determined by the young prodigies competing against each other.
After laying out his thoughts, the Third Prince concluded, “Sect Master Ye, if you are willing to become a permanent evaluator, this prince also has a remuneration to thank you.”
“Sure,” Ye Feng nodded.
He would definitely be too lazy to bother if it was just unpaid work.
But now that there was something to be gained, he might as well do it.
Moreover, after the selection of the prodigy list, the disciples of the sect would have an additional direction to strive towards, which was a good thing.
“Sect Master Ye, does this mean you agree? That’s excellent. In seven days, this prince will await your esteemed arrival at the Royal Capital.”
Ling Luotian pulled out an invitation, along with a contract and an ancient-looking, specially made token.
“Evaluator Token… Eh, there’s text on the back.”
Ye Feng examined the purple-gold token and found many small characters on the back, listing the various functions of the token.
“Fifty percent discount to all Goulan in the Royal Capital, sixty percent discount in all shops, and free access to important places like the Royal Capital’s Scripture Pavilion and others…”
Ye Feng read the features listed, his expression peculiar.
Fifty percent discount at Goulan?
This Third Prince seems to be quite the character!
Ye Feng secretly ridiculed.
“To attract more people to challenge the prodigy list, anyone who makes the list will be awarded mystical elixirs, auxiliary cultivation methods, spells, spiritual artifacts, and other treasures by the royal family at the end of the year, with higher rankings receiving more rewards,” the Third Prince added.
Hearing this, Ye Feng’s interest was even more piqued.
He talked with the Third Prince a bit longer before seeing the two guests off.
“Sect Master Ye, please be sure to arrive on time for the tea party in seven days,” Third Prince Ling Luotian reminded before leaving.
“Hmm, I won’t forget,” Ye Feng nodded.
After seeing the two off into the distance, Ye Feng found Huo Yunjie.
“Yunjie, where is your identity token?”
“Sect Master Uncle, here it is.”
Taking the identity token, Ye Feng threw it into the Refining Furnace and changed “Inner Sect Huo Yunjie” to “True Disciple Huo Yunjie.”
From then on, the Misty Sect had gained one more True Disciple.
Ye Feng found that his flesh body strength had increased a bit once again.
Overjoyed with his new identity token, Huo Yunjie planned to return to his home in Beacon Fire City to share the good news with his mother.
“Yunjie, now that you have become a True Disciple, the Sect Master grants you an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact. Tell me, what type do you want, and do you have any specific requests?”
“I also get an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact?”
Huo Yunjie’s eyes lit up, “This disciple would like a Spirit Sword that resonates with Ruthless Sword Intent; beyond that, I dare not ask for too much.”
“No problem,” Ye Feng said.
Ye Feng took a rib bone from the Bone Demon Empress, tossed it into the Refining Furnace, added a few special materials and Huo Yunjie’s blood, and began forging.
An hour later.
Clang!
The lid of the furnace burst into the sky, and a snowy white sword, as if covered in frost, floated in mid-air. Even from several meters away, one could feel the astonishing chill that involuntarily made one shiver.
“Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Heavenly Frost Sword!” declared Ye Feng.
He had personally named it.
