The main hall of the Five Elements Sect
Ye Feng looked at the tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones scattered inside the ring, his eyelids trembling slightly.
"So... that's all you have? You didn't all hide them, did you? You just said you'd fully support me, you wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"
Ten million is a lot, but it's still far from what Ye Feng had in mind, isn't it?
He was still fully convinced that he could immediately raise his divine body, then set up the formation, forge... but...
This ten million should only be enough for the next iteration of the derivation.
"You brat... Weren't you quite happy when the Black and White Sword Sect gave you a million? Now that we've scraped together ten million for you, you're still looking so miserable! Who are you trying to impress?"
Wei Lan had already suffered enough at Liang Yuyan's hands. If Ye Feng hadn't just arrived, he would have kept his promise and started beating her up.
Ye Feng ignored him and continued to look at Zhou Yongcheng with unwavering determination.
"Don't you guys usually go out to buy things? A high-grade Xuanbao (mystic treasure) costs more than this, right? Also, there are at least tens of millions of people in the immortal city outside. Don't they have to give you tributes or something? Over the years, it must be more than this, right?"
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Fourth Senior Sister Lu Yunlin immediately snorted coldly.
"Everyone has given you everything they could. The people in the Immortal City are like family to us. There's never been any talk of offering tributes to them. Why are you bringing up offerings as soon as you arrive? What exactly do you want? Do you really think the Five Elements Sect was created just for you?"
"Yes, yes, Junior Brother... no, Ninth Senior Brother, we don't usually need spirit stones, and the Five Elements Sect rarely buys things from outsiders, so we don't have many..."
Eleventh junior sister Luo Lingshan stepped in to smooth things over... She's now twelfth in rank.
"Then you need to change your magical artifacts regularly..."
"Third Senior Sister will help us refine it!"
"Material?"
“They’re everywhere on Five Elements Mountain. If you want them, we can help you find them.”
"Then where did you get your spirit stones?"
"Digged from the mountain!"
Ye Feng: ......
Needless to say, the other talismans and elixirs were probably all produced and sold domestically.
"Bang!"
"Enough!"
Third Senior Sister Murong Zhao also slammed her hand on the table.
"Junior Brother Ye, you may not be aware of this since you are new to the sect. In our Five Elements Sect, ranking is based not only on cultivation level but also on strength!"
Although your cultivation level is at the sixth level of the Void Returning Realm, we'll have to wait and see how strong you really are! Seventh Junior Sister Qin Rou and Eighth Junior Brother Meng Jing are both at the sixth level of the Void Returning Realm. Why don't you have a match and determine your rankings first?
If you can beat them, you'll rank seventh. Then, whatever you want, we'll help you. How about it?
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Ye Feng hadn't experienced the Five Spirit Pool and awakened powerful supernatural abilities; how could he possibly be a match for the two of them?
Third Senior Sister's words were clearly meant to make things difficult for her...
Ye Feng pondered for a moment,
The system's issues are hard to discuss; my attempt to take control right from the start was indeed a bit too hasty.
But time waits for no one; he only had three days left, and in three days he had to return to the Thousand Derivation Plains.
Without a large number of trading points, missing the opportunity to deduce the Dao essence, and then slowly leveling up later, who knows how long it would take...
"Third Senior Sister is right! I have long admired our sect's ability to challenge opponents of higher levels. I would like to ask Seventh Senior Sister and Eighth Senior Brother for guidance!"
The supernatural power to challenge opponents of higher levels... that is the transcendent skill of burning one's spiritual root!
Ye Feng, having not undergone the tempering process of the Five Spirit Pool, was destined to be unable to learn and use it...
Upon hearing this, Murong Zhao felt a pang of reluctance, but since the words had already been spoken and Ye Feng had accepted them, she could only tell her two junior brothers and sisters not to be too ruthless...
The practice of seeking a master with prior skills inherently involves a test of one's cultivation level, so Ye Feng didn't find it offensive at all.
Moreover, several senior brothers and sisters had emptied their pockets of all their spirit stones and given them to him...
Seventh Senior Sister Qin Rou, dressed in a martial arts outfit and carrying a short sword, was rather quiet.
Aside from a smile and a nod at the beginning, we haven't exchanged a single word since.
Eighth Senior Brother Meng Jing, dressed in a black python robe, looked like a young prince, and was just as taciturn.
According to Liang Yuxian's message, Meng Jing was born in the Five Elements Immortal City into a noble family and was originally destined to inherit the throne. However, he unexpectedly possessed the Five Elements Spiritual Root and was even a dual-grade one, which caused his status to rise dramatically, and he directly became a formal disciple of the Five Elements Sect!
The training ground is not far from the main hall of the sect, covering an area of 9,900 meters in diameter. For a Void Returning cultivator, a round trip can be completed in the blink of an eye.
However, this martial arts arena is not so simple.
Once the formation is activated, all fluctuations in magical power will be suppressed, as will movement techniques.
Moreover, the formation is connected to the Five Elements Mountain Range, and it cannot be broken by anyone other than a Celestial Venerable!
Everyone stood inside the formation and was weakened and diminished, but the eldest brother, Zhou Yongcheng, who held the core of the formation, was unaffected in his cultivation.
Ye Feng stood on the left side of the field, stretching his arms and legs a little.
Run, jump, teleport, teleport!
Then it was a continuous casting of spells...
Fireball, Waterball, Geng Metal Sword Qi, Earth Wall, Earth Spikes, Wooden Shield, Wooden Spikes...
While Meng Jing was still politely deferring to each other, not yet deciding who would go first, Qin Rou was completely stunned by this scene.
This is the Five Elements Martial Arts Arena!
All spells have been reduced. You're just going to release those fireballs and water balls that are tens of meters in diameter like that? Aren't you afraid you'll run out of mana later?
And these wooden splinters... they're raining down like rain, and the sword energy is like weaving a fishing net... Is magic really free?
Now his supernatural seed has sprouted, and the mana consumed by these minor spells is immediately replenished after being cast, so they are practically "worthless"!
Ye Feng tested most of the common spells within the formation, which was equivalent to lowering his cultivation level to the Golden Core realm.
However, all the teleportation, intangibility, and supernatural powers remain, only their power is reduced proportionally.
As expected of a top sect, this martial arts arena is truly a treasure!
All things considered, he only fought a few battles in the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm with his peak Nascent Soul cultivation, and now his cultivation has jumped to the sixth level of the Returning to Emptiness Realm.
They haven't even fought yet!
Seeing that the two opponents hadn't decided who would fight first, Ye Feng waved his hand.
"Senior brother, senior sister, there's no need to be modest. Come at me together! Since I, Ye Feng, debuted, no cultivator of my level has ever been my match. Today is just a competition within the sect, and victory or defeat is just a friendly exchange, so there's no need to be polite! Come on! I'll take any move you have!"
Unrivaled since his debut!
Someone actually said this in front of everyone in the Five Elements Sect. Now, not only is the Third Senior Sister angry, but even the usually calm and collected Second Senior Sister, Yang Lingzhi, is rolling her eyes.
At this moment, Meng Jing and Qin Rou decided on the order of speaking through telepathy. Just as Meng Jing was about to speak, his senior brother's telepathic message suddenly rang in his ear.
The two looked at each other, then nodded and stepped forward together.
Meng Jing: "Ninth Junior Brother, it's good that you have confidence. Since you've sincerely invited us, then let's go together!"
Qin Rou: "Ninth Junior Brother, our supernatural powers cannot be withstood by ordinary defensive spells. Be careful, don't be defeated too easily, or I will be very disappointed!"
Ye Feng: "Haha... Alright! Senior brothers and sisters, go ahead and do whatever you want, but if you don't satisfy me, then next, I'll challenge Fifth Senior Brother!"
Azure: ......?
