The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

This success rate was already quite high, but for Ye Feng, who valued reliability, anything less than a complete guarantee was simply irresponsible.

“The Sect Leader’s strength, the Elders, the Disciples’ abilities, the Scripture Pavilion, the Spirit Beast Pavilion, the Alchemy Pavilion, and the Equipment Refinement are all satisfactory. The only area that falls short is the Spiritual Medicine Garden,” said Elder Gong Qingqiu, pointing out the current shortcomings.

Ye Feng looked at Jia Yulan, “Haven’t I already given you three thousand Spirit Stones, all to be used for the purchase of Spirit Medicine Seeds to expand the Spiritual Medicine Garden?”

Jia Yulan showed a troubled expression, “Ten thousand plants of Spiritual Medicine is too difficult, it requires time.”

Ye Feng stroked his chin and said, “Not difficult!”

He pointed to the Nanlu Mountain Range, Fuyun Gloomy Forest, Yunxiao Great Forest, Taiyue Mountain Range, and other places, saying, “I have an idea. Elder Gong can add a new task where the disciples who are free during this period can go out to search for Spiritual Medicine, pluck the seedlings, bring back some Spirit Soil while they’re at it, and plant them all in the agricultural fields of the Miniature Cave Heaven World.”

“That’s a good idea!” Elder Gong Qingqiu’s eyes brightened as he wrote down the new Elder’s task on the mission wall.

[Elders’ Hall Task Three]

[Within one month, collect a total of ten thousand Spiritual Medicine Seedlings and plant them in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, ensuring their survival; among them, at least ten must be century-old Spiritual Medicine; all Sect disciples are eligible to participate]

[Difficulty: Middle Rank]

As Elder Gong Qingqiu wrote down this task, a prompt from the System echoed in Ye Feng’s mind simultaneously.

“Ding, Outer Sect Elder Gong Qingqiu of the Elders’ Hall has successfully issued the task ‘Collect Spiritual Medicine, Expand the Spiritual Medicine Garden,’ which can be completed by all disciples. The deadline is one month, and the reward is one Miniature World Remodeling.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng’s eyes lit up.

Miniature World Remodeling?

He remembered that the first time he used it, it helped Misty Peak reshape the mountain’s summit and even transformed the spring water into a Miniature Spirit Vein.

Now, to be rewarded with a Miniature World Remodeling was truly a blessing in disguise.

“After the task is completed, there should be enough space to expand the Elders’ Hall, how wonderful!” Ye Feng said with a grin as he sat on a lounge chair.

“Sect Leader, we’re going to collect Spiritual Medicine.”

Jia Yulan had already planted the Spirit Seed of the Sky-reaching Green Vine, waiting for it to sprout. Now that she happened to be free, she took Yan Ruyu’s hand and said to the Thousand-Year Ancient Pine, “Guardian Elder, please send us to the Nanlu Mountain Range.”

“No problem.”

A vine from the old pine tree extended downwards, coiled around Jia Yulan and Yan Ruyu, and then rapidly stretched out at a speed of at least a hundred meters per second, sending the two women screaming to a location fifteen li away.

“I will go to Fuyun Gloomy Forest with Junior Brother Long. Please, Guardian Elder, send me on my way,” said Shi Lei.

“No problem,” the old pine blinked.

“I and the Ouyang brothers will go to Yunxiao Great Forest,” said Qiao Jiaxi, who had just completed the ten-thousandth strike as an Armored Guardian and finally advanced to the seventh level of Body Refinement. She decided to complete the Elder’s task first, then continue cultivating.

“I will go to the Taiyue Mountain Range with Xia He, Qiu Ju, and Ziling,” Mo Ying also had her own plan.

“I will stay in the Sect to cook for the Sect Leader,” said Li Jiaojiao, who did not go out but was responsible for providing stability at the rear.

In an instant, the disciples were all out on their missions.

Wang Ping’an found that Huo Yunjie had already begun his seclusion, Li Jiaojiao was off cooking, and the other senior brothers and sisters were not on the peak, leaving no one to play with him.

Seeing the idle Wang Ping’an, Ye Feng decisively assigned him a task to refine one hundred Cultivation Qi Pills.

Then, Ye Feng leisurely took his seat on the top of the Scripture Pavilion, looking into the distance.

“Sect Master Ye, I’m here!”

A sharp cry came from afar.

As Ye Feng followed the sound, he saw the unremarkable Xie Jiaren, riding on a Spirit Crane, waving energetically and calling out even before she had reached the vicinity.

This scene was very reminiscent of a dog excitedly greeting its owner.

“It turns out to be Daoist Xie, what brings you here?” Ye Feng waved and asked as Xie Jiaren came near.

“By the looks of it, Sect Master Ye didn’t wish for my arrival,” said Xie Jiaren, hands on her hips, pouting, “Despite being busy, I managed to sell off those High-Grade Spirit Beast Feeds.”

“You didn’t remind me,” Ye Feng only then remembered that he had a cooperative project with Xie Jiaren, where he provided the materials and she was responsible for refining the Spirit Beast Feed, to be sold later on.

In the end, they would split the profits.

“So, how much did it sell for?” Ye Feng asked.

“Three thousand spirit stones.” Xie Jiaren tossed a spirit stone bag over.

Ye Feng caught it and found thirty middle-grade spirit stones inside. His mouth twitched up slightly as he said, “Not bad at all!”

“Sect Master Ye, remember to give me all the demonic beast corpses in the future! Once I turn them all into spirit beast feed, we can split the profits fifty-fifty.”

“Split the profits?”

“Ah? Pfft! I misspoke, I meant to say split the earnings!”

Xie Jiaren, with her slip of the tongue, hastily corrected herself with an embarrassed look.

Ye Feng chuckled.

He felt that partnering with Xie Jiaren was really quite informal, but the mood was still very cheerful.

“You’ve come at quite an opportune time. Just recently, I’ve slain two peak demon generals and a good number of demons from the Demon City. If you’re interested, I can give them to you right now.”

The parts of the demon generals suitable for forging had already been removed.

The remaining parts were mostly useless.

So, Ye Feng was actually worried about having no one to dispose of them.

“What did you say, peak… peak demon generals?” Xie Jiaren’s mouth fell open, her face full of disbelief.

“You didn’t know?” Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.

“I’ve been in closed-door cultivation trying to break through my realm lately and was looking for buyers for the spirit beast feed. I really had no idea about anything!” Xie Jiaren widened her eyes and looked down, just in time to see Gong Qingqiu walking out of the Scripture Pavilion.

“Auntie Gong! What are you doing here?” Xie Jiaren exclaimed, surprised.

“You know each other?” Ye Feng was clueless.

Gong Qingqiu saw Xie Jiaren and was taken aback, quickly rising into the air to stand near Ye Feng and Xie Jiaren.

“So, you little girl know our sect leader,” Gong Qingqiu said with a warm smile, resembling a kindly elder.

“Sect leader?” Xie Jiaren was thoroughly confused.

She had only been in closed-door cultivation for a while, but everything seemed to have changed when she came out, and her beautiful eyes couldn’t help but widen.

“After Shuiyang City was breached by the demon race, it was Sect Master Ye who slew Demon King Huyuan, avenging me. Afterward, I joined the Misty Sect and now serve as an outer sect elder,” Gong Qingqiu explained briefly.

“I knew about Shuiyang City’s fall. Later, I had talked with my mother about inviting you to join our Spirit Beast Sect!” Xie Jiaren was still surprised by Gong Qingqiu joining the Misty Sect.

“Wait! Auntie Gong, you said Sect Master Ye killed the Demon King?” Xie Jiaren suddenly thought of something and her eyes widened drastically.

“You didn’t know about that?” Gong Qingqiu was surprised.

“Was it a Spirit Sea Realm type of Demon King?” Xie Jiaren grabbed Gong Qingqiu’s hand and asked earnestly.

“Yes.” Gong Qingqiu nodded lightly.

“Hiss!” Xie Jiaren sharply inhaled, and then, under Gong Qingqiu’s astonished gaze, she wrapped her arms around Ye Feng’s thigh, shouting, “Sect Master Ye, I’ve decided to cling to your mighty leg!”

“Hey, what are you doing?!” Ye Feng struggled immediately but couldn’t get free from Xie Jiaren’s tight grip.

Ye Feng looked at the ground with an embarrassed face, grateful that Wang Ping’an was in the Alchemy Pavilion refining pills, Li Jiaojiao was in the kitchen experimenting with new dishes, and Huo Yunjie was in isolation. Aside from Gong Qingqiu, nobody was aware of this situation.

Otherwise, his reputation would be utterly ruined!

“Wow, is that the sect leader’s wife?”

The Whitefloat Five Immortals looked up and happened to witness the scene, chattering excitedly.

Ye Feng’s face turned red as he retorted, “Wife my foot, don’t talk nonsense! This is Xie Jiaren, the junior sect master of the Spirit Beast Sect. Didn’t you meet her before?”

Hearing this, the Whitefloat Five Immortals promptly shut their mouths.

“Sect Master Ye, please make sure to give me the Demon King’s corpse to research. Rest assured, I can definitely refine some extremely powerful spirit beast feed. When that happens, we’ll split it 70-30, I’ll take 30 and you’ll take 70.”

With a pretended look of distress on her face, Xie Jiaren gazed at Ye Feng with her big, watery eyes, looking pitifully endearing.

Ye Feng’s mouth twitched as he said, “You really are quite something!”
