The sect's support... won't arrive anytime soon.
Because, nearly a hundred miles outside of Yunxia Mountain, the sparring between Ye Feng and his companion was still ongoing.
Skill collision, mana flashes of white light,
If it weren't for the concealment formation, someone would have reported it to Yunxia Mountain long ago and come to investigate.
"Master, why don't we take a break?"
"No, the way you looked at me just now made me very uncomfortable!"
"You were the one who wanted me to open my eyes!!"
"I don't care, I have to make you submit!"
"I give up, I'm completely convinced..."
"Your eyes clearly show you're not convinced!"
...
Ye Feng was truly impressed. While others were filled with fear and dread, Li Qinghe insisted on using special methods to seduce him.
Is this a skill effect?
How could you retaliate against someone personally...?
He could handle it; with his Nascent Soul stage body refinement cultivation, he could stand still and let her hit him for a hundred years.
But when Li Qinghe was hit, there were two red and swollen spots, and a pinkish area.
"Master, fellow Daoist, aren't we still on a mission? Why don't we come back and continue after we've finished our mission?"
When the mission was mentioned, Li Qinghe immediately became much more alert.
He paused heavily, then pressed Ye Feng's head down again and whispered in his ear,
"You brat, the skills you've been researching are definitely illegitimate. Don't use them recklessly in the future, understand? Especially not with women!"
Ye Feng answered through the crack, and Li Qinghe finally gave up and got up to leave.
After the two tidied up briefly, Li Qinghe was about to release her flying sword when suddenly her legs went weak.
Fortunately, Ye Feng caught it in time.
When I looked over, Li Qinghe was already fast asleep.
Such a confrontation with the Divine Eye is extremely taxing on both the mind and body.
But Li Qinghe has persevered to this day with sheer willpower.
Li Qinghe used to drive him around, but now it's his turn to drive...
However, Ye Feng didn't know the mission location, so he could only proceed slowly and cautiously in the direction he had gone before.
Yunxia Market was located southeast of Qingyun Sect. Later, Li Qinghe traveled in the northeast direction.
They must have come specifically to "study" for Ye Feng, taking a slightly longer route.
If you travel northeast for the next two days, you will reach the territory of Luoshuizong.
This area is not entirely managed by the sect; it is more of a place where independent cultivators live and gather.
Normally, this middle ground is a no-man's-land.
However, there is always a general dividing line between the two.
If any secret realms or mineral veins are discovered, there's no risk of large-scale battles breaking out over them.
Of course... it also depends on how much profit is involved.
Ye Feng flew with Li Qinghe for most of the day, but she still hadn't woken up.
It's late now; if we keep flying, we won't even recognize the place anymore.
Let's wait until tonight!
Unlike Yang Dan and the others whose meridians were damaged, Li Qinghe's problem was more about physical and mental exhaustion. She would be fine after a night's sleep.
Ye Feng took out the gift Yang Dan had given him earlier and tossed it into the air.
A tiny model of Xiuzhen, imbued with magical power, instantly transformed into a small one-bedroom house.
This is a magical artifact house that Yang Dan, Fang Xue, and everyone else worked together to build.
The house's grade barely reaches the level of a spiritual artifact, but its defensive strength is considered that of a high-grade magic weapon.
But the most important criterion for a magical artifact is that it can be large or small.
If Fang Xue can reach this standard, her weapon-refining skills can be considered as level two.
Everything in the room was of magical quality, from the decorations to the bed.
This is also why palace-type flying ships of the same level are priced much higher than other magical artifacts.
Once these are refined, they are then refined together using a level-two refining technique, giving the objects inside the ability to vary in size.
The room was simply furnished, yet filled with a subtle fragrance.
Women are so thoughtful; they always make their own gifts. Ye Feng just wouldn't have that kind of patience...
After putting Li Qinghe down, Ye Feng went outside, lit a bonfire, and silently pondered his next steps.
Establishing a sect in the name of Penglai now will inevitably provoke hostility from sects on the mainland.
Each position has its own role, and a power comparable to a top sect represents interests equal to its status.
Establishing influence on Penglai Island... that would be simple.
However, sending disciples out without a sense of belonging can easily lead to unexpected problems...
Ye Feng claimed to have mastered a long-distance teleportation array, but in reality, he used people who met the system's standards as coordinates to teleport items out of thin air.
Those shops that failed might have been monitored by the upper sect through various means.
Normally, disciples sent by other sects for exchanges would not choose to set up bases in the heart of the other sect's territory.
Most of them bought a shop or house in the largest city closest to the sect.
It's similar, much like an embassy.
However, the people Ye Feng sent were mostly Qi Refining cultivators.
Holding goods worth tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, a Qi Refining disciple, without special protection from a sect, would probably be killed within two days.
So last time, Ye Feng simply had them take the people to the foot of the sect's mountain, find a house, and activate the level-two formation...
It cannot completely defend against the upper sect, but it can still defend against a few petty thieves.
However, this method still doesn't work... The coordinates of those disappeared shops are proof of that.
To truly open a store successfully, you need a strong and capable team of subordinates.
Even powerful subordinates, without a strong backer, will find it difficult to remain loyal.
A powerful backer...
A firm resolve gradually appeared in Ye Feng's eyes.
"In that case, let's set up the mountain gate first!"
"Then, we will focus on training the disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect... and also recruit some strong independent cultivators."
A level five formation is already among the best in Tiannan. When fully activated, even the Star Soul Palace's main cannon wouldn't be able to break through it.
There is no complete limit to the strengths and weaknesses of formations of different levels, from one to five, due to their various types and functions.
In general,
Even a low-level formation can suppress Qi Refining disciples.
Even a level one formation can affect Foundation Establishment combat power.
A level-two formation is so powerful that even Golden Core cultivators wouldn't dare enter it easily, and it can absolutely suppress Foundation Establishment cultivators.
A level-three formation affects Nascent Soul cultivators, suppresses Golden Core cultivators, and directly kills Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Level 4 is equivalent to Nascent Soul cultivator, but without the restraint of a similarly leveled combatant, it is almost impossible to cause harm to a Nascent Soul cultivator.
However, Ye Feng's current array formation strength is at level five, and the array formation techniques recorded in the Grass Secret Manual are particularly adept at defense and suppression.
Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be completely suppressed upon entering, reduced to only the strength of a Core Formation cultivator.
If the protective barrier is activated, even a Nascent Soul cultivator wielding a powerful spiritual treasure will not be able to break through the formation!
Of course, formations are static, but people are dynamic. Once the protective barrier is activated, the formation will eventually be worn down and destroyed.
However, as long as someone is in charge of the formation, no one will be foolish enough to expose their protective shield and allow themselves to be attacked, except when facing extremely long-range attacks like the Star Soul Cannon.
Moreover, with Ye Feng's current strength, the array he sets up can spread out to about fifty miles.
Once you enter this range, even if you're a Nascent Soul cultivator, you're just fish on a chopping board.
What he needs to do now is find a good spiritual vein and set up a grand formation...
Then hold on!
Where should I choose?
"Hahaha... I can't believe I've stumbled upon such an exquisite palace artifact here!"
"Kid, which sect are you from? State your name!"
Ye Feng dropped the wooden stick he was using to extinguish the fire and looked at the two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators who had appeared before him, a complex expression on his face.
"Never mind where I'm from, let me ask you first..."
"You two, you wouldn't happen to be from the Black Cloud Sect, would you?"
