Seeing Yang Xueling's dangerous gaze, Ye Feng swallowed hard.
"You're quite the smooth talker, aren't you!"
"Uh...hehe...hehe"
Ye Feng reached out and scratched his slightly numb scalp, then gave an awkward laugh.
"What are your plans for the future? And that... Master, can you handle it?"
Fortunately, Yang Xueling quickly changed the subject, which relieved Ye Feng.
"In the future... I want to create my own sect. My master will definitely be able to handle it; we agreed on that before..."
Yang Xueling nodded at first, but stopped when she heard what happened next.
"Before? Was it already agreed upon?"
Damn it... Ye Feng wants to change rooms.
Before Yang Xueling could explode, Ye Feng hurriedly said:
"Didn't Xuan'er visit our sect before...? She even gave me a token back then..."
"You had already discussed this with your master back then?"
I hadn't become an apprentice yet at that time...
If she were to reveal it, Qinghe would become the third party...
Someone please take this mother-in-law away; we can't have a proper conversation now.
I should have known better than to answer his voice call... It would have been so much better to sit alone.
"Hmph! I don't care about your tricks, but there's only one thing: if Xuan'er says a bad word about you, I'll teach you a lesson!"
"Yes...yes..."
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief again when he saw his mother-in-law gently lift the lid, and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, yes!! How can someone like you be the sect leader? And you even think of founding a sect as a dinner party?"
Within a sect, every matter, big or small, is handled by different peak elders who each form their own faction. Sometimes, strength alone isn't enough to manage a sect effectively!
At this point, Yang Xueling couldn't help but sigh.
She understood Xiao Yuxuan's predicament perfectly well; she just hated that kind of compromise, that kind of power struggle—it was utterly disgusting.
"To establish a sect, you need cultivation techniques, and the site for establishing a sect needs spiritual veins..."
After Yang Xueling finished her admonitions, she began to analyze the situation for him seriously.
Ye Feng listened attentively, not missing a single word. There were some things he truly wouldn't know without someone pointing them out.
He originally thought it would just be a matter of everyone setting up a mountain together to cultivate, and that would be the end of it.
I never imagined there were so many intricacies involved.
The cultivation technique itself isn't a major problem. Although he's only currently deduced the Five Elements Technique up to the Golden Core stage, it's sufficient for the current team.
What's missing is the ability to deduce various spells based on the core techniques.
With his aptitude upgraded to the Dao Body level, Ye Feng felt that all kinds of spells were easily within his grasp.
These spells are still a bit lacking when it comes to dealing with Nascent Soul cultivators, but that doesn't matter. We can study them slowly when we have time later.
Other spiritual veins are also fine; for a level 5 array master, transferring spiritual veins is just basic stuff.
We'll find a few spiritual veins and send them to Yunxia Mountain.
But there were still some troubles later on.
Establishing a sect requires defining its territory. To claim a sect in the Southern Continent, one must accept challenges from surrounding sects.
Furthermore, after establishing a sect, one must unconditionally support the Demon-Controlling Pass.
Whether it's providing manpower or supplies...
What we can gain is everyone's recognition, and their acceptance of the sect's territory.
If the relationship is bad, you still have to fight.
However, establishing a sect also has some advantages, such as the right to purchase advancement fruits...
In conclusion, there were absolutely no benefits!
"There's a Dao Stone up for auction today; you can take it then!"
Yang Xueling flipped through the developing camera on the table, turning it left and right until the image turned to the back.
A stone shaped like a hexagonal prism.
Dao Stone: Inscribe sect techniques and copy Dao oath jade slips!
Moreover, the Dao Stone also has a sensing and tracking function. Whenever a method is transmitted through the Dao Stone, a number is recorded on the Dao Stone. Once someone disregards the Dao oath and transmits the method on their own, the number will turn red.
At that time, you can pinpoint this person's location using the Dao Stone... unless you study it your whole life but never use it or cultivate it.
As Yang Xueling turned the film over, many interesting things appeared on the developing medium.
The flying boat that Ye Feng wanted to buy was among them.
It's only at the magic weapon level; buying a flying boat at the spirit weapon level... would probably be quite difficult.
Yang Xueling flipped through the pages so quickly that Ye Feng couldn't even get a chance to look closely. He finally waited until she finished.
Ye Feng carefully sat down next to her and began searching for the flying boat that had just appeared.
"White Feather Cloud Boat: Top-grade magic treasure, size 1-30 meters, powered by top-grade spirit stones, speed 2000 li per hour, forced activation... Starting bid: 80,000 top-grade spirit stones"
Eighty thousand, top-grade, that's eight hundred million, the final transaction price should be around two billion.
For Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators, they generally carry high-grade spirit stones, and unless otherwise specified, they are settled using these stones.
"Dao Stone: Mid-grade, capable of supporting those below the Nascent Soul stage..."
This "below the Golden Core level" doesn't refer to the inscribed cultivation techniques, but rather to the point that once a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul level, they are no longer bound by the Dao Stone.
The transmission of Dharma is no longer bound by oaths.
Even the Dao Stone cannot be tracked...
However, those who receive this person's teachings but whose cultivation level is insufficient can still be tracked.
For the upper sects, these mid-grade Dao stones are certainly not enough, but for most mid-level sect cultivators, they are sufficient.
Similar to the Qingyun Sect, their sect's cultivation techniques only reach the Nascent Soul stage.
Once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you've become a sect patriarch; you can pass the torch to whomever you want...
"Something's not right about this auction! There are way more good items than before..."
Yang Xueling watched Ye Feng flip through the book, muttering to herself.
Ye Feng looked through the items. Besides the Dao Stone and the flying boat, there were several other items that interested him, including pill formulas and spirit beast eggs.
There were many things he wasn't interested in, such as the Nascent Soul Pill...
———
"It seems that True Monarch Lei Yun is determined to succeed this time..."
Phoenix Spirit True Monarch looked at the list of goods to be auctioned.
In the past, these things should have appeared the next day.
But now, they were released on the very first day.
The only thing that can be proven is that there were items of even greater value on the second and third days!
Although Feng Ling is the guild leader
However, the Vast Ocean Fortress is jointly owned by the ten major chambers of commerce. Even if she wanted to inspect the goods in advance, she would need the consent of half of the seats.
Feng Ling sighed deeply.
"It seems this Vast Ocean Fortress will soon be renamed Thunder Fortress..."
Feng Ling truly couldn't bear to see so many innocent people die for the sake of a mere guild leader position.
And being the chairman of this association... is really not a good job.
"That Wang Lin... is it really impossible to find him?"
Standing behind True Monarch Fengling was Cheng Tianyang.
"What will happen when the president finds him?"
"Yeah, so what if we find it...?"
Feng Ling turned her head and looked at Cheng Tianyang.
In her perception, the aura emanating from him, which had previously been like a candle flickering in the wind, had now become somewhat complete.
"Your injuries have healed? How did you do that?"
The two have known each other for decades, and True Lord Fengling has helped them find many spiritual objects.
But ultimately, only the Soul-Shaping Water of the Ghostly Sect can work.
Cheng Tianyang smiled.
"By chance, I guess I've recovered!"
Phoenix Spirit True Monarch nodded and did not pursue the matter further.
The word "opportunity" is enough to explain everything.
Feng Ling, who had sat back down in her chair, suddenly asked another question.
So, you know where he is?
Cheng Tianyang remained silent.
"Hmph, this guy really... made me suffer a huge setback!"
Feng Ling looked at this old friend,
"Even if we don't cause him any trouble, shouldn't he at least make some compensation for the damage to the city's buildings?"
"He has already made compensation... directly to those who suffered losses. For those who died, he also compensated their relatives with spirit stones... I handled it personally!"
Phoenix Spirit True Monarch was genuinely surprised this time. Cheng Tianyang personally handled it... This relationship is extraordinary!
I've known him for so many years and I've never seen him have a friend. I never expected this...
———
"Without further ado, let Xin Xin introduce the first item to everyone..."
On the exhibition stand, a slender and beautiful female cultivator from the Blissful Gate, with a charming smile, began to introduce the auction items.
Ye Feng on the third floor clenched his teeth, his face twitching.
"Hey kid...you're practically drooling! Qingxuan's not here, but I am!"
This Nascent Soul level skin-massaging service was several levels above Xiao Xuan's skills; the sudden movement almost made Ye Feng cry out.
Yang Xueling's slender fingers were not only strong, but also moved with a tuning-like motion.
Ye Feng grabbed her hand.
"Mother-in-law...please have mercy! My injuries haven't healed yet!"
The two had already sat together when they were watching the film, and now they were less than half a foot apart, with Ye Feng holding their hands.
This time, even the oblivious Yang Xueling sensed something was off...
