“Indeed, this is a Spiritual Spring.”
Ye Feng descended from the sky and pointed at the pool transformed into a Spiritual Spring, “The Heroic Spirits learned that our Misty Sect was advancing to a High Ranked Sect, Grinning Springs, and then descended Qi Yun to transform everything around us.”
Ye Feng felt that his ability to lie with a straight face was getting better and better.
The reason Misty Peak underwent this change was naturally due to the one-time use of Miniature World Remodeling, which had nothing to do with the Heroic Spirits.
Mo Ying was skeptical, “Did the Heroic Spirits really do all this?”
Ye Feng continued to spout nonsense earnestly, “Of course it was the work of the Heroic Spirits. They told me that Misty Peak has been transformed into a Spirit Vein, and this Spiritual Spring is the Eye of Spirit Vein. Just with this fact alone, our Misty Sect has taken a big step forward on the path to becoming a Star-Level Sect.”
“A Spirit Vein?”
All the other disciples gasped in astonishment.
Spirit Veins are classified into six grades: Miniature, Small, Medium, Large, Super Large, and Saint.
Even the weakest Miniature Spirit Vein can continuously release abundant nature’s spiritual energy and has the capital to open a Spiritual Medicine Field.
For a High Ranked Sect to advance to a Star-Level Sect, at least one Miniature Spirit Vein is required, and this is also one of the mandatory conditions for advancement.
“As far as I know, the reason why Whitefloat City became a One-Star Force is because the City Lord’s Mansion has a Miniature Spirit Vein in its backyard mountain, and that mysterious City Lord is cultivating in seclusion there,” Huo Yun Jie explained.
The Old Sect Leader had shared this information with them before.
“But there is a saying, ‘A man with nothing to his name is free from guilt, possessing a treasure brings about wrong.’ We’re just a High Ranked Sect, yet we have a Miniature Spirit Vein. Won’t we become the target of covetous forces?” the eighth disciple, Xia He, worriedly said.
Mo Ying pointed to the Formation Flags on the ground, “At this stage, the Mini Earth Element Slaughter Array’s power is already insufficient. If a strong enemy does come, we simply won’t be able to withstand them.”
Ouyang Feng was startled, his complexion turning slightly pale, “Won’t the City Lord’s Mansion of Whitefloat City stand up for us?”
Mo Ying shook her head, “When it comes to a dispute over a Spirit Vein, even Star-Level Sects will get involved. The City Lord’s Mansion might want to help, but it’s uncertain if they can. To think of the worst, can we be sure that the City Lord’s Mansion will take our side?”
Upon hearing this, a chill ran through everyone.
They looked at Ye Feng, but saw he was standing leisurely by the Spiritual Spring, without any sign of worry.
“Sect Leader, aren’t you worried?” Mo Ying asked.
Ye Feng shook his head, flicked his finger, and all the Middle Grade Spirit Stones embedded in the Mini Earth Element Slaughter Array’s flagpoles flew out—twelve in total—hovering in midair.
“There’s actually nothing to worry about.”
Ye Feng said, revealing a five-colored disk in his palm, then embedded five Middle Grade Spirit Stones into it.
“Is this… an Array Plate?” Mo Ying exclaimed in surprise.
“What is an Array Plate?” the surrounding disciples asked one after another.
Mo Ying stared at the Five Elements Continuous Array’s Array Plate and explained, “An Array Plate is the command center of a formation, easier to control than the Core Formation Flags with less consumption of spiritual energy. Normally, it’s only Compound Formations that use an Array Plate. I have no idea where the Sect Leader got it from.”
“This is a Five Elements Continuous Array, acquired during my travels in my younger years. It has multiple functions, and I’ve only brought it out today,” Ye Feng continued his tall tale.
He had been brought back by the Old Sect Leader, and any odd and unique items that appeared in the future could be explained using this reason.
While it sounded far-fetched, the more he bluffed, the better.
As for whether others believed him or not, Ye Feng didn’t care.
“Five Elements Continuous Array, activate!”
Ye Feng tapped the center depression of the array plate with his finger, and immediately five dazzling beams of light burst forth, plunging into the ground and the air above. Soon, a ring of white fog appeared around them, enveloping the top of Misty Peak and continuing to spread.
This fog was quite peculiar.
Standing on Misty Peak, as long as one activated their Spirit Eyes, the fog before their eyes seemed to vanish into thin air, without any obstruction.
From a distance, Misty Peak appeared to be shrouded in a thick fog starting from halfway up the mountain, all the way to the peak top, impenetrable even with the use of Spirit Eyes.
After setting up the formation, Ye Feng noticed the array plate actively absorbing the nature’s spiritual energy around, channeling it into the five nearly depleted middle-grade Spirit Stones.
In no time, the spiritual energy of these Spirit Stones returned to a brimming state.
Afterward, any excess spiritual energy would be pumped into the spiritual energy storage space of the array plate. As for how much it could hold, Ye Feng didn’t know yet.
“Is this formation just a piece of fog? I’m worried it could be breached,” Jia Yulan expressed her concern.
“This is a Miniature World Remodeling formation. I can’t vouch for anything else, but just this fog alone can trap anyone below the Fourth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm,” said Ye Feng, indicating to the disciples that they needn’t worry. “If we encounter a powerhouse at the Fourth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm or higher, we can then activate the formation’s ‘entrap and kill’ feature, which should be able to handle strong cultivators at the Fourth or Fifth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm.”
Hearing that the Five Elements Continuous Array was powerful, the disciples let out a sigh of relief.
“With this Five Elements Continuous Array in place, we don’t have to worry about danger for the time being. Next, I have some things for you.”
Ye Feng took out the lower-grade Spirit Sword, Cold Light Sword, lower-grade storage rings, and special cooking utensils, and distributed them to Huo Yunjie, Mo Ying, Shi Lei, Long Tianxing, and Li Jiaojiao, according to the previous plan.
“What a sharp Spirit Sword, thank you, Sect Master Uncle, for bestowing this treasure!” said Huo Yunjie, holding the Cold Light Sword, unable to put it down.
“These storage rings have quite large spaces inside, we can fit quite a lot of stuff now, thank you, Sect Leader,” said Mo Ying, Shi Lei, and Long Tianxing, as they examined their rings, with gleaming eyes.
Li Jiaojiao, looking at the set of special cooking utensils, felt as if they had become one with her and couldn’t help but throw herself onto Ye Feng.
Everyone saw this scene and all widened their eyes.
Realizing her lapse, Li Jiaojiao blushed, hurriedly jumped away, and while lifting the hair beside her temples, she said in a tiny mosquito’s voice, “Sect Master Uncle can rest assured, I will definitely pursue the path of a Spirit Chef!”
“Just keep working hard,” Ye Feng nodded his head.
Jia Yulan, Xia He, Qiu Ju, Ouyang Yu, and Ouyang Feng, who hadn’t received any treasures, stood to one side, watching eagerly.
Seeing this, Ye Feng smiled and said, “You have something too, but it’s a bit special.”
With that, he took out a small wooden box.
Everyone quickly gathered around and discovered that inside there were one hundred Spirit Seeds the size of longan fruits, a vibrant green and emitting a rich fragrance.
“Sect Leader, are these for us to eat?” Jia Yulan picked up a Spirit Seed, ready to pop it into her mouth.
Ye Feng hastened to stop her, saying, “Don’t! These aren’t for eating. These are the Spirit Seeds of Jade Spirit Grass, blessed by Heroic Spirits, guaranteed a hundred percent survival rate. Using the spiritual liquid from the Spiritual Spring to water them, they can grow faster.”
“Jade Spirit Grass!” Jia Yulan’s eyes lit up. “I know of this Spirit Grass. Legend has it that when Jade Spirit Grass matures, its flowers open into nine petals, containing pure spiritual power, and it can be used as a substitute for Spirit Stones in cultivation.”
“Is it really that magical?”
The other disciples were surprised.
“There are one hundred Jade Spirit Grass Spirit Seeds here. You five take them and try to grow them. The responsibility of starting our Misty Sect’s first Spiritual Medicine Field falls to you,” Ye Feng began to entice, “Yu Lan, you’ll be in charge of the Spiritual Medicine Garden.”
“Me? In charge?” Jia Yulan was dreamlike, then she earnestly said, “I will not disappoint the expectations of the Sect Leader.”
She felt that the Sect Leader must want to train her to be the future master of the Spiritual Medicine Garden. In other Sects, this would be a position of an Elder’s level.
Thinking this, Jia Yulan’s heart felt sweet as if she had eaten honey.
