The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 365: Chapter 365: The First Sect Conference (Part 1)

“Finally, I have come to this point!”

Ye Feng looked at the line of text that read “Upgrade Energy: 103.4%”, stretched out his hand, and clicked to upgrade.

Hum!

The seven-colored auspicious clouds began to retract inward, penetrating the refining furnace, causing the array patterns on the surface to glow and heat up, becoming even more intricate and sophisticated, as if undergoing a metamorphosis.

There were even specks of black ash falling off its surface.

“The upgrade has started!”

Ye Feng waited patiently.

But soon, he noticed something unusual.

Above the firmament, rolls of black tribulation clouds gathered and converged above the peak of Misty Peak. Despite the distance of several kilometers, there seemed to be heavenly thunder striking down, leaving Ye Feng astonished.

“No way! The refining furnace is advancing to a supreme grade spiritual artifact and it has to transcend the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation?”

Ye Feng was speechless.

Hu Feifei is a human-form spiritual artifact, so it makes sense that it has to undergo tribulation, but why does the refining furnace need to as well?

“System, why is this happening?” Ye Feng asked.

“Ding, the refining furnace is a supreme treasure with extraordinary potential, just like Hu Feifei. Starting with its promotion to a supreme grade spiritual artifact, it will encounter Heavenly Tribulations with every advancement, which will also enhance its potential, possessing the possibility for limitless advancement.”

Upon hearing the explanation, Ye Feng slapped his forehead.

It seemed that undergoing tribulations had its benefits.

Boom boom boom…

The rolling thunderclouds approached from afar, continuously gathering above the firmament, catching the attention of everyone.

“This looks like the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation!”

“Is the Sect Leader about to advance to the Divine Origin Realm?”

The second-generation disciples were greatly shocked.

“Everyone, don’t panic, it’s nothing.” From atop Misty Peak, Ye Feng’s calm voice drifted down.

The next moment, everyone watched as Ye Feng, carrying a brazier, soared into the sky and entered the midst of the tribulation clouds.

“Sect Leader, you didn’t bring me along, hmph!”

Hu Feifei pouted with indignation and, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, she rushed into the tribulation clouds.

“That’s protector Hu Feifei!”

“Truly a formidable character who can kill a Spirit Sea Realm demon fiend with a single stick, not even afraid of the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation!”

“I heard from Senior Sister Jiaojiao that protector Hu has transcended the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation before. Not only is she unafraid, but she even devoured the Heavenly Thunder.”

“Devouring Heavenly Thunder! Is she that fierce?”

The second-generation disciples were collectively dumbstruck.

“Too mighty, too invincible, charging straight into the Heavenly Tribulation. Whether it’s the Sect Leader or the protector, both are overly powerful. As an elder, I cannot afford to lag too far behind!”

Li Zilong watched the tribulation clouds with rising fighting spirit.

In Whitefloat City, Five-Colors City, even in Yunxiao Ancient City and Beacon Fire City, the people there also noticed the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation in the direction of Misty Sect and once again were perturbed.

“Oh, what’s there to see, it’s not the first time!” someone who had seen it before commented dismissively and went back to moving bricks.

Within the tribulation clouds.

Ye Feng sat cross-legged in mid-air.

Countless thunderbolts fell, all of which were devoured by the refining furnace, causing its surface to bring up blue-gold patterns, which looked very sacred.

Between heaven and earth, there were also strands of array patterns forming, integrating into the refining furnace, aiding its upgrade.

“This is so boring!” Hu Feifei, carrying a white short stick, propped her chin with one hand; if not for being stopped by Ye Feng, she would have rushed up to devour those delicious-looking thunderbolts.

The whole process lasted for half an hour.

When the thunderclouds dispersed, the refining furnace shrank to the size of a palm and floated above Ye Feng’s palm, emitting a strong aura.

“Good, it has finally upgraded!”

Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief.

With the supreme grade refining furnace, as long as the materials were sufficient, even supreme grade spiritual artifacts could be mass-produced.

“Upgrade Energy: 0.34%”

Ye Feng noticed the data had changed again, and to elevate to a lower grade spiritual treasure level, he would need ten times the energy as before.

And he’d have to undergo tribulation again!

“Let’s go, back to the sect.”

Ye Feng put away the refining furnace, brought Hu Feifei with him, and landed on the peak of Misty Peak, entering the Sect Leader’s Great Hall.

Suddenly, a loud voice resounded.

“As the Sect Master, I have decided to convene the first sect meeting of Misty Sect in three days. Except those in seclusion for life and death training, all personnel must attend!”

The sound emerged and swiftly resonated across the four major peaks of the Misty Sect.

Even Gong Qingqiu and the others, who were far away outside, received the transmitted message in their enhanced version Identity Tokens.

“A Sect meeting? It seems that the Sect Leader must have some major announcement to make.”

At the Shuiyang City Ruins, Gong Qingqiu stowed away her Identity Token.

She looked in the direction of the Misty Sect, murmuring softly.

“Elder, our task is still not complete. Do we need to return as well?” Yan Ruyu, standing in a newly developed field of medicinal herbs, quickly asked upon hearing the message.

“Certainly,” responded Gong Qingqiu.

“Alright then, let’s speed up as much as we can, complete what we can, and then rush back to the Sect within three days,” Jia Yulan said from the side.

“Okay, back to work!” Gong Qingqiu commanded.

Not far away, Shi Lei was moving bricks.

Yes, he really was moving bricks!

Looking down from high above the ruins of Shuiyang City, one would discover that a hundred-meter squared field of medicinal herbs had been cultivated right at the center of the ruins.

Inside were hundreds of neat rows, each row planted with the same kind of medicinal herb, lush and full of vitality.

These herbs were transplanted from the ruins of Shuiyang City.

When planting Spiritual Medicine, it’s common to plant the same type together for easier care and harvest.

There were many types of medicinal herbs in the ruins of Shuiyang City, hundreds, if not thousands, and by now, many had been relocated to their corresponding rows.

However, there were still a great number of herbs in the ruins. To transplant them all would require much more time.

Not to mention anything else, just sorting them into categories was a massive undertaking that required immense patience and a wealth of knowledge.

“This is Bright Eyes Grass.”

“This is Soul Lowering Fruit.”

“These are Vermilion Fruit seedlings.”

“Ah, I’ve found a new Spiritual Medicine, looks like we need to clear a new row for it.”

Gong Qingqiu and her companions sorted carefully.

Not far away, Shi Lei was using the strength of the Element Gathering Realm to level a three-meter high, thirty-meter squared rammed earth platform from amongst the ruins.

He was planning to build a hall there!

The Shuiyang City, Spiritual Medicine Division Hall!

“Senior Brother is indeed impressive; in such a short time, he has prepared the foundation. Perhaps the framework will be up in two days,” Yan Ruyu commented with admiration.

When it came to construction, she willingly acknowledged Shi Lei as the strongest.

Clang clang!

Shi Lei processed the timber cut from the Hardwood Plains and then went about constructing it on his own. His breakthrough to the Element Gathering Realm, endowed with Spiritual Sense, made construction even more seamless for him.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Gong Qingqiu and her group looked at the rammed earth platform not far away, noting that a main hall had already been built upon it.

Though it was just the main structure, the speed was quite impressive.

Gong Qingqiu glanced at the field of Spiritual Medicine, which had doubled in size, and said, “Alright, let’s return to the Sect and attend the meeting.”

“Yes,” responded Yan Ruyu, Jia Yulan, and Shi Lei, the three disciples departed one after another, returning to the Misty Sect together.

As for the ruins of Shuiyang City, they had been sealed by the Talismans refined by Gong Qingqiu, preventing others from entering.

Inside the Misty Sect.

The disciples were gradually making their way to the Sect Main Plaza.

At this moment, Ye Feng was conversing with Li Zilong.

“Sect Master Ye, ‘”Second Qi Sea”‘ truly is mysterious. I’ve only cultivated the upper volume, and I’ve already noticed my Qi Sea has expanded quite a bit. I’m ready to start cultivating the middle volume.”

Li Zilong reported his cultivation progress.

Hearing this, Ye Feng nodded in agreement.

Reaching this stage in three days was indeed quite impressive.

“For the middle volume of the cultivation technique, you can search in the Scripture Pavilion. If you encounter any problems you don’t understand, ask Ziling directly. She is the manager of the Scripture Pavilion and knows the location of all the ancient books.”

“So Ziling is the Scripture Pavilion manager… uh, right, what exactly is a manager?”

“You can think of it as a role similar to a Steward, specifically in charge of managing the Scripture Pavilion.”

“Oh, I see!”

As Ye Feng and Li Zilong chatted casually, more and more disciples arrived at the scene.

Even Gong Qingqiu and the others reached the venue.

“Excellent, everyone has arrived.”

Ye Feng looked at the crowd and said with a loud laugh.
