The Clan Master Can’t possibly Be A Mortal

“With the current strength of our Misty Sect, if we had an auxiliary technique, it would probably lead to our extermination if word got out,” Mo Ying dashed everyone’s hopes with her reality check.

At her words, everyone else felt a chill.

“This is what they call ‘a man is not guilty of his possessions, but having a treasure brings trouble’,” Ye Feng sighed, “Enough talk, let’s start cultivating!”

He flipped through the “Five Qi Dynasty Yuan” and exclaimed softly, “This cultivation technique is actually divided into five major volumes: Qi Refining, Element Gathering, Spirit Sea, Divine Origin, and Void Break, and right now only the first volume is available.”

“Cultivation techniques require spirit stones to purchase, and our Misty Sect is too poor; the Old Sect Leader could only afford the first volume,” said Li Jiaojiao.

Ye Feng asked, “Where can I buy the subsequent volumes of the technique?”

Li Jiaojiao thought for a moment and then said, “They are for sale at the trade associations in Whitefloat City; it is said that you need more than one thousand pieces to buy the second volume of “Five Qi Dynasty Yuan”.”

“That expensive?”

Ye Feng was taken aback.

He had thought that having two or three hundred spirit stones made the Misty Sect relatively wealthy; it turned out they couldn’t even afford the second volume of the technique.

“Cultivate diligently and find opportunities to earn spirit stones in the future to develop the sect, otherwise we’ll be so poor that we can’t even afford cultivation techniques.”

Ye Feng muttered to himself.

Next, Mo Ying and the other disciples returned to their rooms to cultivate on their own.

Ye Feng and Long Tianxing stayed in the Sect Leader’s Great Hall, studying the “Five Qi Dynasty Yuan” together, understanding the recorded routes of technique circulation, key points of cultivation, and so on.

This ancient tome marked some of the Old Sect Leader’s cultivation experiences, which they could follow for practice.

Sometimes, walking the path of those before you is more convenient.

“Sect Leader, I will begin cultivating now,”

Long Tianxing took just an incense stick’s time to finish and memorize the entire content of the first volume, then sat cross-legged on the ground, with his palms facing upward, using his Spirit Eyes to gaze at the sky.

Ye Feng activated his Spirit Eyes, intending to observe how Long Tianxing cultivated first.

As Long Tianxing began to cultivate, a vortex of spiritual energy at the mountain peak started to separate five-colored spiritual energy, drawing it bit by bit into his body.

Under Ye Feng’s watchful eye, this aura circulated several times in Long Tianxing’s meridians before finally entering the Qi Sea and condensing into a small whirl of energy.

“Sect Leader, I’ve reached the first level of Qi Refining,”

Long Tianxing opened his eyes and exclaimed with delight.

“Oh, that’s great!”

Ye Feng said joyfully.

After that, he began to cultivate in earnest.

However, after half an hour, Ye Feng felt somewhat autistic.

He had tried many times, but the surrounding spiritual energy remained motionless, beyond absorption, as if it was from a different world.

With no choice, Ye Feng could only ask in his mind, “System, why can’t I cultivate?”

“The host is already at ‘Qi Refining Ninth Level Peak +,’ and as long as the disciples’ cultivation levels increase, the host’s cultivation level can also increase without the need to re-cultivate,” the System replied.

Hearing this, Ye Feng was at a loss for words.

He realized that his inability to cultivate was purely the fault of the damned System, insisting that he already had a cultivation level.

But the problem was, he couldn’t feel it at all!

“Am I destined to not live past a hundred years?”

Ye Feng sighed deeply in his heart.

“Roar!”

At that moment, a roar came from outside the door.

Ye Feng was in a foul mood, but when he heard the noise, he rushed out of the door and saw Brother Flathead standing upright, charging at him with an angry face.

Ye Feng smiled and went straight for a sliding tackle.
