The Clan Master Can’t possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Upending Worldviews, Muhua Crystal

“Touch it?”

The High Priest was stunned.

As a girl, she had always been reserved, and now, hearing Ye Feng utter such a coarse word, her complexion turned a blushing red, like a ripe apple.

But since the High Priest regarded Ye Feng as a Divine Spirit, she naturally took his words as commands.

As her gentle hand rested on the Root Bone Jade Stone, a stream of cool Spiritual Energy flowed into the High Priest’s body, giving her an unprecedented sense of coolness, causing her body to tremble involuntarily.

The Spiritual Energy circulated around the High Priest’s body and then returned to the Root Bone Jade Stone.

Afterward, Ye Feng scrutinized the surface of the Root Bone Jade Stone.

Red, orange, yellow, green—four colors lit up at the same time.

“Hiss!”

Ye Feng drew in a breath of cool air.

The Root Bone is divided into lower, middle, upper, supreme, divine, and saintly six grades.

Four colors signified it was of supreme grade!

“I am Ye Feng, Sect Leader of Misty Sect. Would you be willing to join the Misty Sect and become my disciple?” Ye Feng put away the Root Bone Jade Stone, repressed the excitement in his heart, and asked solemnly.

“What is the Misty Sect?” The High Priest was puzzled.

“The sect I belong to,” Ye Feng explained.

The High Priest didn’t have a concept of a sect, but she roughly understood that she could join the force Ye Feng belonged to, which meant she could always stay by the side of the Divine Spirit.

Therefore, with an excited, trembling voice, she asked, “Does this mean I can stay by your side and serve you forever, Divine Spirit?”

“Sort of!” Ye Feng considered it and could only respond in this way.

After all, this was a prodigy with a supreme grade Root Bone. If nurtured properly, she could reach the standard of Mu Ruxue. Even if it meant deceiving her, he first needed to bring her into the Misty Sect.

“I am willing,” the High Priest nodded.

“Excellent!” Ye Feng was overjoyed.

Although the disciples of Misty Sect were few, each one was extraordinary. Now they had the High Priest, a prodigy with a supreme grade Root Bone, and the sect would surely thrive in the future.

Remembering he had not yet asked the High Priest her name, Ye Feng inquired, “What is your name?”

“My name is Ji Ziling,” the High Priest replied.

Ye Feng’s eyes shone; he mused that the name was quite nice.

He looked at the glaze-colored treasure bottle in Ji Ziling’s hand and asked, “What is this?”

“This is a Divine Artifact created by the Divine Spirit, and it’s also a vessel for divine power,” Ji Ziling explained. “It has existed for a very long time, obtained by our First Generation High Priest and passed down through the generations until now.”

“If you are going with me, what would happen to this treasure bottle?” Ye Feng asked curiously.

“The ancient town cannot be without a High Priest for a day. If I am to follow in the footsteps of the Divine Spirit, I will naturally leave this Divine Artifact to the next High Priest, so she can protect the ancient town well,” Ji Ziling revealed an important piece of information.

That was: Inheritance!

“Well, then hurry up with the handover, and let’s leave,” said Ye Feng, not wishing to delay too long, as the portal to the Three Thousand Realms could only stand for one or two more days, and there was no time to waste.

“Yes, Divine Spirit, please follow me,” Ji Ziling led the way.

In no time, the two arrived at the Purple Bamboo Forest outside of the ancient town.

Here, Ye Feng saw an elegant bamboo building with many medicinal herbs planted in the yard, hard to find in the outside world. Although not of high grade, it was a good idea to take some Spirit Seed back for cultivation.

At the entrance of the courtyard stood a little girl holding a Magic Wand, dressed in a gray cloak, and only about ten years old. Although she was not as beautiful as Ji Ziling, she was still a rare beauty in the making, with large watery eyes watching the arrival of Ye Feng and Ji Ziling.

“Yu’er, this is the Divine Spirit, hurry and greet him!” Ji Ziling said.

“Ah!”

The little girl was clearly frightened, quickly kneeling on the ground, but before she could completely lower herself, Ye Feng raised her up with Heroic Spirit Power.

“I do not like pomp and circumstance.”

After speaking, Ye Feng said to Ji Ziling, “Proceed with the handover ceremony quickly!”

“Yes,” Ji Ziling wasted no time handing the glaze-colored treasure bottle to the little girl and said solemnly, “Yu’er, I will be following the Divine Spirit, and from now on, you will be the High Priest of the ancient town. Remember, you must protect this world for me!”

Upon hearing this, the little girl burst into tears but bit her lip without speaking, as she clearly knew that the day of parting would come.

Ji Ziling bit her fingertip and inscribed a special symbol on the surface of the glaze-colored treasure bottle, then said to the little girl, “Yu’er, it’s your turn now.”

The little girl bit her fingertip and inscribed the same symbol on the treasure bottle, gaining control over it.

Ye Feng watched from the side, feeling the Power of Faith being transferred.

From that moment on, Ji Ziling could no longer control the Power of Faith within the treasure bottle. At most, she was just a prodigy with a supreme grade Root Bone.

However, Ji Ziling’s talent was exceptionally high.

As long as she embarked on the path of cultivation, her speed in breaking through realms would certainly be extremely fast.

This was something Ye Feng did not need to worry about.

“Sister, will you come back later?” the little girl asked, holding the treasure bottle, her small face full of sorrow.

Ji Ziling didn’t speak, but looked at Ye Feng.

“Yes,” said Ye Feng.

The portal to the Three Thousand Realms was controlled by the Dragonfolk Clan, and Tian Xing had a supreme-grade Bloodline; if Ji Ziling really wanted to return, of course, it would not be a problem.

“Thank you, Divine Spirit,” Ji Ziling expressed her gratitude.

The little girl’s tears turned into a smile, her beautiful eyes resembling crescent moons.

“Divine Spirit, wait a moment,” Ji Ziling went back into the bamboo building to pack her things.

Ye Feng stood outside, eyeing the Spiritual Medicine in the courtyard, and said to the little girl, “I will take some Spirit Medicine Seeds with me, do you have any?”

The little girl seemed very shy and dared not speak with Ye Feng, but she still brought a large packet of seeds.

“Thank you,” Ye Feng said as he ruffled the little girl’s hair. An idea struck him, and he left behind a bottle of Spirit Eye Liquid and the first three levels of the “Five Qi Dynasty Yuan”, “This is for cleaning your eyes, you will be able to see the world’s Spiritual Energy after using it, and these are the first three levels of the Qi Refining Realm cultivation technique, you can try to practice it.”

The little girl’s eyes widened as she treated the Spirit Eye Liquid and the technique as treasures.

At that moment, Ji Ziling came out carrying two large wooden boxes, “Divine Spirit, I am ready.”

After speaking, she lowered her head bashfully.

Ye Feng was astonished and thought to himself, “When girls move, do they always have so much stuff?”

However, Ye Feng didn’t mind. With a wave of his hand, he took the wooden boxes into his System Space and said, “I’ll keep these for you temporarily. I’ll give them back to you once we return to Misty Peak.”

“Ah, it disappeared!”

The young girl’s eyes widened in amazement.

Ji Ziling was initially startled, but then remembered that Ye Feng was a Divine Spirit. It wasn’t at all strange for him to make things disappear into thin air, so she nodded and said, “Thank you, Divine Spirit.”

Seeing this, Ye Feng discovered this world was even more bizarre.

Although many things were not much different from the outside world, there was no mention of the path of cultivation, not even an understanding of Storage Space. It seemed to be deliberately avoided or hidden.

However, Ye Feng did not explain.

Once outside, Ji Ziling would naturally understand, and by then, her view of the world would be completely overturned.

“Thank you, Divine Spirit. Can we set off now?” Ji Ziling asked.

“Won’t you say goodbye to the people of the old town?” Ye Feng asked, looking at the young girl, “And besides, she’s so young, can she command respect?”

Ji Ziling shook her head and said, “Every High Priest will choose the next High Priest in advance. When Yu’er returns to the old town with the Divine Artifact, they will naturally understand everything.”

“Alright, then let’s go!”

With a wave of his hand, Ye Feng’s Heroic Spirit Power lifted Ji Ziling, and they flew towards the entrance and exit of this world.

“Goodbye, Sister Ziling!”

The young girl chased after them for a long distance on the ground, waving her small hands continuously, looking very reluctant to part.

In mid-air, Ji Ziling curiously asked, “Divine Spirit, where do you live in this world? Why couldn’t I find you no matter how hard I searched the entire world before?”

“Beyond this realm,” Ye Feng said.

Then, under Ji Ziling’s astonished gaze, Ye Feng used a Moonshine Stone to open a gate embedded in the rock face, leaving that world.

Seeing the vast expanse of the Three Thousand Realms, Ji Ziling’s eyes widened.

“Could this be the Divine Realm?”

As Ji Ziling looked around, she realized that the outside world was more than a hundred times bigger!

The world she had come from was truly too small in comparison.

“Divine Realm?”

A twitch formed at the corner of Ye Feng’s mouth as he thought that if this were the Divine Realm, then what would the Shenzhou Continent be?

Watching Ye Feng fly aimlessly, Ji Ziling asked again, “Divine Spirit, what are we going to do now?”

“Find the Muhua Crystal,” Ye Feng pondered for a moment before adding, “Then, forge an Upper Grade Five Elements Spirit Sword.”

Ji Ziling did not understand what ‘Upper Grade’ meant.

But she felt it must be very powerful.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

Ye Feng and Ji Ziling sat at a table.

Eating the delicacies on the table, Ji Ziling was so happy she was almost moved to tears, “It’s so delicious! So this is the food of Divine Spirits, truly incomparable to our simple meals in the past.”

Ye Feng smiled.

The Cave Heaven World where Ji Ziling came from was too secluded. Its natives had no idea of the vastness and wonder of the outside world, nor did they know how delicious roasted kidneys, roasted leeks, and braised pig’s trotters could be.

They had missed out on so much!

The two searched for another half a day.

Fortune favors the diligent, and eventually, Ye Feng and Ji Ziling stumbled upon a Medium-Sized Cave Heaven World, where they saw an Ancient Tree at the peak of a mountain.

Countless vines hung down like sharp long spears, killing all passing creatures and devouring their nutrients.

“It’s so cruel!” Ji Ziling indignantly watched the Ancient Tree.

Just a moment ago, she had witnessed a lovely deer passing by the tree, only to be ruthlessly obliterated.

“Oh, someone’s here. Now isn’t that a rarity!” The Ancient Tree noticed Ye Feng and Ji Ziling, emitting a deafening noise, as countless vines shot towards them like sharp arrows at high speed.

Their power was immense, not even an Element Gathering Realm first-level practitioner could withstand it!

Ye Feng calmly took out a Mini Banana Palm Fan.

With the first wave, all the vines were blown away.

“What sort of technique is this?” The Ancient Tree was shocked.

Its most potent attack was the vine spikes, but they had been blown away by the newcomer with a mere fan. How was it supposed to fight now?

“Big brother, spare my life!” To save itself, the Ancient Tree immediately submitted.

Ye Feng’s expression was cold as he continuously waved the Mini Banana Fan twenty times, whipping up a terrifying tornado that tore the Ancient Tree into shreds amid its screams.

“So… so powerful!”

Ji Ziling was dumbfounded.

She felt that even if she could still control the Glazed Treasured Bottle and strike with all her might, it wouldn’t have a tenth of the tornado’s power.

The power of a Divine Spirit was indeed terrifying!

The next moment, the shattered Ancient Tree began to reassemble, turning into a bowl-sized green Treasure Bead; it was the last ingredient needed to forge the Five Elements Spirit Sword.

The Muhua Crystal!

“Finally, all is gathered.”

Ye Feng took the Muhua Crystal, feeling extremely good. Now that everything was ready, it was time to head back.

This excursion had lasted nearly seven days, and he was very concerned about the disciples of the Misty Sect.
