Chapter 68: Spirit Light Talisman, Heading to Nanlu Mountain Range

Under the night sky.

Ye Feng repeatedly scanned the surroundings of Misty Peak, and within a ten-mile radius, he’d found at least a hundred demonic beasts, most of them of lower-ranked demon soldiers.

Since he couldn’t distinguish whether they were malevolent or benign, Ye Feng refrained from taking action. Moreover, he needed to protect his disciples and it was inappropriate to leave them.

In the gloomy Fuyun forest.

A rabbit, transformed by the Shape-shifting Beast, hopped into an underground cavern and found the Little Wolf General cultivating there. It reported everything it had seen and heard.

“What did you say? There are five naturally-born spiritual beasts on Misty Peak… I get it now. The person who thwarted the Heixuan Gate’s blood sacrifice plan a few days ago must be the Misty Sect’s Sect Leader. Those five spiritual beasts must have been saved by him!”

With some deduction, the Little Wolf General guessed the truth.

“Lord Little Wolf General, what should we do next? Launch a group attack on Misty Peak?” the Shape-shifting Beast inquired.

“Foolish! Misty Sect is only a dozen miles from Whitefloat City. Who knows if those from the Element Gathering Realm in the city will suddenly lash out?” the Little Wolf General sneered. “However, Blood Blade has sent me a message, claiming that the Demon Slaying Conference in Whitefloat City has already started. We can make our move when the Sect Leader of Misty Sect travels to a place further from Whitefloat City.”

“Yes.”

The Shape-shifting Beast nodded its head.

“Heh heh heh! Just a few more Blood Spirit Pills, and I can complete my transformation, ascending to a true Demon General.”

Inside the cavern, the cold voice of the Little Wolf General filled the air.

The next morning.

Ye Feng lay on the roof of the Sect Leader’s Great Hall, with his hands behind his head, a stalk of grass in his mouth, gazing at the sun rising slowly from behind the distant serrated mountains.

A gentle breeze blew, leaving him feeling refreshed all over.

“Ding, the foundation of the disciples has been fully consolidated. Reward: one ‘Spirit Light Talisman’ of lower grade. Please continue your efforts, Sect Leader, to reach new heights!” The system notification suddenly sounded.

Ye Feng blinked, sat up straight, and with just a thought, he caught a two-inch-wide, five-inch-long earth-colored talisman paper, written with many intricate symbols and miniature formations in dark red paint.

[Name: Spirit Light Talisman]

[Grade: Lower Grade]

[Effect: Imprinted with a plethora of miniature formation symbols, it is a single-use consumable. Upon activation, it provides a miniature shield that can withstand any attack below the Element Gathering Realm for the duration of one hour.]

Upon reading the information of the Spirit Light Talisman and initially not giving it much thought, Ye Feng’s eyes widened when he saw that it could withstand any attack below the Element Gathering Realm.

“This is something good!”

Ye Feng joyfully pocketed the Spirit Light Talisman and leapt to the ground, where he saw the disciples emerging from the great hall, their foundations now solidified.

“Good morning, Sect Leader!”

The disciples all bowed in unison.

“Good!” Ye Feng nodded. “Next, I’ll introduce you to the new Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts, the Whitefloat Five Immortals, and our Misty Sect’s treasured artifact.”

The disciples looked at each other in perplexity.

Ye Feng led them to the backyard, where for the first time they saw the Purifying Green Lotus in the pond, as well as the Whitefloat Five Immortals, Brother Flathead, and other Guardian Spirit Beasts surrounding it.

“Wow! A little piggy, should we steam or braise it?”

“Ah ya, there’s a toad, I’m so scared!”

“This little dog is so cute, should the spices include star anise, sugarcane, or Huangpi leaves?”

The disciples gathered around, pointing at the Whitefloat Five Immortals and nearly drooling, frightening them into shivering.

“Brothers and sisters, please don’t kill us!”

The Whitefloat Five Immortals quickly knelt down to beg for mercy, startling the disciples, who all took three steps back—except for Mo Ying, who did not move.

“Lower Rank Demon Soldiers can speak, these are natural spiritual beasts with spirit blood. In terms of value, they can be several times more valuable than ordinary demonic beasts,” Mo Ying advanced instead of retreating, pointing at the Whitefloat Five Immortals as she spoke.

Ye Feng’s gaze flickered slightly, and he thought to himself that Mo Ying truly was like a beginner village NPC in a game, knowing everything.

“The Whitefloat Five Immortals were found by me in Whitefloat City, and I brought them back to Misty Peak on the way, now they serve as the mountain guardian spiritual beasts. Starting from today, I, the Sect Leader, will establish the Spirit Beast Pavilion, whose main members will be Brother Flathead, Lao Tie, Xiao Bai, Fox Da Hong, Dog Er Ha, Pig San Pang, Toad Si Chu, and Pumpkin Wu Gua,”

Ye Feng pointed at the eight spiritual beasts present and introduced them.

“Pfft!”

When the disciples heard about the formation of the Spirit Beast Pavilion, they were a little excited and expectant, but the moment they heard names like “Fox Da Hong” and “Dog Er Ha,” they couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing on the spot.

The Whitefloat Five Immortals were puzzled and did not know what everyone was laughing at.

Li Jiaojiao pointed at the Purifying Green Lotus in the pond, a look of surprise across her delicate face, and asked,

“Huh! When did a Blue Lotus grow in the pond, Sect Master Uncle, is this the sect’s treasure you spoke of?”

Ye Feng nodded and said, “That’s correct, this is the sect’s treasure ‘Purifying Green Lotus,’ capable of purifying many impurities. If you pay close attention, you’ll be able to notice it for yourselves.”

The disciples gathered around it.

Shi Lei scooped up and drank a mouthful of water, finding it sweeter than before and containing traces of spiritual energy. If he weren’t afraid of bursting from fullness, he would have wanted to rely on drinking this water every day for his cultivation.

“The air around the Purifying Green Lotus has become more ethereal, and it even gathers nature’s spiritual energy,” Mo Ying said at this time.

She had just used her Spirit Eyes to look around and found that, in addition to the spiritual energy vortex above, there seemed to be a trend of a new vortex forming around the Purifying Green Lotus.

Once successful, the concentration of spiritual energy on Misty Peak could be increased to twice what it was before, which could help increase the speed of cultivation.

The other disciples also discovered the benefits of the Purifying Green Lotus.

“Sect Leader, I think we can build a small pavilion here to cover up the Purifying Green Lotus to protect it,” Huo Yunjie, who was rather meticulous, suggested, considering the potential threat.

“Yes!”

The other disciples also came to the same realization.

Ye Feng nodded and said, “You make a good point. In a while, I will ask Master Li to build it. For now, Brother Flathead will be sufficient to guard it.”

Afterward, the disciples sat around the Purifying Green Lotus to cultivate and found that the effects were indeed much better than usual.

It wasn’t until after breakfast that Ye Feng led his disciples to Five-Colors City, leaving Brother Flathead behind to stand guard alone.

Brother Flathead stood up on its hind legs, watching as Ye Feng and his group gradually disappeared into the distance, feeling that something was amiss. Why was it the only one left to stand guard again while the others got to go out and have fun?

“Humph!”

Brother Flathead let out a dissatisfied noise and lay down beside the pond, taking a look at the Purifying Green Lotus, which made it feel a bit better.

In the sky.

The Shape-shifting Beast transformed into a cloud, noticing the existence of the Purifying Green Lotus and seeing Ye Feng leaving with the Whitefloat Five Immortals. It quickly transmitted the information to the Little Wolf General a hundred li away.

By the time Ye Feng and his disciples arrived at Five-Colors City, it was already noon and the streets were filled with many people.

“Hey, it’s the Immortal Masters from the Misty Sect.”

“Greetings to the Immortal Masters!”

The city residents all greeted them warmly.

Ye Feng and his disciples waved back and then asked someone for directions to find the approximate location of the new Spirit Mine in the Nanlu Mountain Range before flying over there.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng checked his Prestige Points and found that they had exceeded 1500. The continuous effect from the soup he made yesterday seemed quite good. Among the thousands of people, there were always a few hundred who were “touched” and genuinely approved of the Misty Sect.

Moreover, as time passed, the Prestige Points would continue to rise slowly, which put Ye Feng in a cheerful mood.

“Five-Colors City has a population of more than a hundred thousand and still has great potential for development,” Ye Feng thought to himself as he and his disciples entered the Nanlu Mountain Range.

Unbeknownst to him, a pair of cold and watchful eyes stared at him from a hidden corner, brimming with murderous intent.
