The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Myriad Islands Alliance, News of the Upper Grade Spirit Stone
Elder Hongmeng’s words caused Ye Feng to fall silent for a long time.

“Are you certain it’s thirty-six Miniature Cave Heaven Worlds?” Ye Feng decided to ask again, to confirm the truth of the matter.

“Of course, Sect Master Ye didn’t hear wrong,” Elder Hongmeng nodded.

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment before saying, “Elder Hongmeng might not be aware, but the materials needed to engrave a Miniature Cave Heaven World are extensive, and even for a Star-Level Sect, they are quite difficult to gather.”

What he implied was that the cost of engraving thirty-six Miniature Cave Heaven Worlds was high, and if Elder Hongmeng’s funds were insufficient, it might be very difficult to accomplish.

“Is Sect Master Ye worried about the materials issue?”

Elder Hongmeng suddenly chuckled, “I forgot to mention, it isn’t me who needs the thirty-six Cave Heavens, but a friend of mine who entrusted me to find an Array Master capable of engraving the Miniature Cave-Heaven Array. Sadly, even though I know quite a few people in County King City, I still couldn’t find such an Array Master, until today when I met you.”

“Your friend?” Ye Feng seemed to understand.

It made sense, after all. Elder Hongmeng was merely a Transformative Demon Beast and even though she was the envoy of County King City, it was unlikely she possessed such wealth.

“The daughter of the leader of the Two-Star Rank Myriad Islands Alliance is that friend of mine,” Elder Hongmeng took out a blue Ancient Order.

Ye Feng accepted it and saw that the front bore a “Myriad” character, while the back was covered with countless stars, symbolizing the over ten thousand islands.

The Myriad Islands Alliance…

Ye Feng silently took out a map.

After checking, he found that the Myriad Islands Alliance was located more than six thousand li from Misty Peak, at the center of a vast inland sea spanning over two thousand li.

The Flowing Water River, Fenhuo River, and even the entire Southern River all flowed into this inland sea.

The name of this inland sea was “Southern River Lake.”

“So, it’s the Myriad Islands Alliance!”

Ye Feng showed a look of realization.

In the entire Southern River Basin, there were only a few Two-Star Rank forces, and the Divine Wind Sword Sect, County King City, and Myriad Islands Alliance were among them.

Since it was a Two-Star Rank force, the Myriad Islands Alliance must have ample funds, and constructing thirty-six Miniature Cave Heaven Worlds seemed feasible.

With this in mind, Ye Feng said, “I will only be responsible for engraving the array patterns. As for the other matters, including materials and location, all of it will be handled by the Myriad Islands Alliance. Moreover, the help won’t be for free; engraving each Miniature Cave-Heaven Array will require a certain remuneration.”

“One Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact! That’s the reward stipulated by my friend, of course, it can also be exchanged for an equivalent amount of Spirit Stones,” Elder Hongmeng extended one finger.

“Only one?” Ye Feng frowned.

The typical price of an ordinary Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact was around two thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, and the more expensive ones went for three thousand. To travel such a long distance to the Myriad Islands Alliance to engrave thirty-six formations and only receive two thousand Spirit Stones?

Thinking of this, Ye Feng prepared to decline.

“One Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact per formation, which is two thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones. Once all thirty-six formations are completed, that would be seventy-two thousand Spirit Stones,” Elder Hongmeng revealed a figure that Ye Feng wouldn’t even dare to think of.

Seventy-two thousand?

Could an ordinary One-Star force even gather that much by bankrupting themselves?

Only an established Two-Star Rank force like the Myriad Islands Alliance could have such profound resources to casually offer thirty-six Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts, or seventy-two thousand Spirit Stones.

The more Ye Feng thought about it, the more excited he became.

He looked up at Elder Hongmeng and said, “I have one more question. After the deal is done, could the Myriad Islands Alliance pay with Upper Grade Spirit Stones? They don’t all have to be Upper Grade; even two or three would be enough. If that’s not possible, even one Upper Grade Spirit Stone would do!”

Upon hearing this, Elder Hongmeng’s brows furrowed.

Upper Grade Spirit Stones were mostly used for cultivation and transactions by those in the Spirit Sea Realm; even as the envoy of County King City, she had none since her Cultivation Level was insufficient.

What did Sect Master Ye of a High Ranked Sect want Upper Grade Spirit Stones for?

To set an array?

Filled with doubts, Elder Hongmeng asked, “Must the payment be in Upper Grade Spirit Stones?”

Ye Feng nodded earnestly, “In my remuneration, at least one must be an Upper Grade Spirit Stone because I have great need for it—it’s indispensable.”

If this deal went through, not only would he gather enough Spirit Stones needed for forging the Five Elements Spirit Sword, but also make a huge profit.

With enough Spirit Stones, Misty Sect’s Scripture Pavilion could begin construction.

“The Myriad Islands Alliance, as a Two-Star Rank force, does indeed possess Upper Grade Spirit Stones, but this is not something I can decide. How about this, I will contact my friend tonight, and at the latest within three days, I will give Sect Master Ye an answer,” Elder Hongmeng said, not making any guarantees.

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, “Alright, let’s leave it at that for now.”

“Mhm, I will contact my friend as soon as possible and get back to you,” Elder Hongmeng stated.

“Then Sect Master Ye will attend the evening feast at Yunhua Peak first. Elder Hongmeng, once you’re finished, it won’t be too late to inform your friend,” said Ye Feng, before leaving the place.

After he left, Elder Hongmeng took out a golden Messenger Paper Crane and blew ten breaths of Spiritual Energy into it before releasing it into the air.

Whoosh!

The Messenger Paper Crane flew at incredible speed, surpassing the sound barrier as it headed straight towards Southern River Lake in the east.

Yunhua Peak.

A group of people sat around a large round table, enjoying a carefully prepared feast by the chefs of the Yunhua Sect, chatting and laughing, the atmosphere joyful.

Yunhua Zhenren drank Spiritual Wine, his face flushed with a red glow.

“Alas, we have finally passed the certification of the Star-Level Sect. From today onwards, our Yunhua Sect has undergone an important transformation and becomes a true Sect. Henceforth, when facing our ancestors, I, as a Real Person, can stand tall because the rise of the Yunhua Sect begins with my generation!”

Yunhua Zhenren became emotional.

“Congratulations to Yunhua Sect,” Ye Feng raised his glass in salute.

An array of cups and plates intermingled on the table.

After the feast.

Everyone gradually dispersed.

Elder Hongmeng returned to County King City with Qin Ping and Qin Wan.

Ye Feng was about to take his disciples and leave when Yunhua Zhenren stopped him. The two Sect Master-level powerhouses stood aside, chatted for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, and then dispersed.

After several hours of flight, the group smoothly returned to Misty Peak.

“Home is the best!” Shi Lei took a sip of Spirit Spring Water and felt completely relaxed, he remarked.

Ye Feng waved to everyone and said, “Now that we’re back at the Sect, everyone should go about their business! Yunhua Zhenren told me that in seven days will be the celebration of Yunhua Sect’s rise to a Star-Level Sect. We should all attend to gain some experience… After all, the Misty Sect will take that step in the future, consider it a rehearsal in advance.”

“Can our Misty Sect also rise to become a Star-Level Sect?” Long Tianxing asked excitedly.

Patting Long Tianxing’s shoulder, Ye Feng said, “Our Misty Sect has huge potential, and it’s not difficult to become a Star-Level Sect, but reaching that status relies on everyone’s efforts. Do you understand?”

“Understood! I’m going to begin training right now!” Qiao Jiaxi, a training fanatic, immediately stood under the Thousand-Year Ancient Pine and started sparring with an Armored Guardian.

The key to his advancement to the seventh level of Body Refinement was quite eccentric.

That is, to be beaten!

As long as he could withstand being struck ten thousand times consecutively, he could comprehensively enhance his personal Defensive Capability and once again transform his Ancient Giant God Bloodline, ascending to the seventh level of Body Refinement.

Bang!

Just starting his Body Refinement, Qiao Jiaxi was rammed dozens of times by the Armored Guardian with its shield, and he fell to the ground injured.

“Healer, heal me…”

Qiao Jiaxi reached out his hand, calling for Yan Ruyu.

“I really can’t stand you,” Yan Ruyu said, covering her face with her hand as she walked over to Qiao Jiaxi and healed his injuries using Life Spirit Force.

After recovering, Qiao Jiaxi charged at the Armored Guardian once again.

Then, he was knocked away again!

Brother Flathead stood with arms akimbo, watching Qiao Jiaxi get beaten up, shook his head helplessly, and a barely perceptible hum came from his throat, as if to say Qiao Jiaxi was too weak.

The other disciples did their own things, some resting and some cultivating.

Life at Misty Sect returned to normal.

After bathing in warm Spiritual Spring Water, Ye Feng lay comfortably in his armchair, looking at the stars in the sky, his fatigue gradually fading, and he soon fell into a sweet sleep.

Thousands of miles away.

A giant island.

Whoosh!

A streak of golden light sped across the sky, descended onto the main peak at the top of the island, and was caught by a delicate, snow-white hand. The light receded, revealing a golden Paper Crane.

“Min Xi, this is Hongmeng. I’ve found an Array Master capable of inscribing the Miniature Cave-Heaven Array, but this person demands a High-Grade Spirit Stone in the payment…”

Elder Hongmeng’s soft voice gradually rose.

Boom!

Upon the news of finding the Array Master, the whole island trembled as if coming back to life, terrifying auras emerged from all over the island, all converging on the main peak’s summit.
