The Clan Master Can t possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Congratulations from All Parties, Golden Willow Leaf
“`

Above the Fuyun Gloomy Forest.

Hu Feifei carried the white short stick on her shoulder, turned around stylishly, and scraped the tip of her nose with her thumb, looking very playful.

However, in the eyes of the Blue Dragon King and the others, Hu Feifei only appeared cute. In reality, recalling her fierce and invincible fighting just now, everyone couldn’t help but shiver in fear.

“Sect Master, how did I perform just now?”

With a smile on her face, Hu Feifei stepped towards Ye Feng.

Her long hair lost its glow, and the pink in her eyes gradually faded, returning to her normal form before the fight.

“Ding, upgrade energy reached 10%.”

At this moment, Ye Feng received another prompt from the System.

He rubbed Hu Feifei’s pink hair and praised her, “You performed wonderfully, far exceeding this Sect Master’s expectations.”

“Wow, then I want a reward!”

Hearing that Ye Feng was very satisfied, Hu Feifei immediately showed an excited look.

“What reward do you want?” Ye Feng asked in confusion.

He wanted to say, you’re a humanoid spiritual artifact, you don’t eat, drink or sleep, what reward can I possibly give you?

“I want kisses, hugs, and to be lifted high up!” Hu Feifie hid her white short stick in her fluffy tail, her pink lips pouting slightly as she spoke excitedly.

“Ah?” Ye Feng was dumbfounded by her request.

“Cough cough!”

Upon hearing this, the crowd all wore strange expressions. Some lowered their heads, others turned away, and some even covered their faces with their hands, pretending to have heard nothing.

“I can’t carry out such actions here at the Sect Master’s place!” Ye Feng muttered.

Hu Feifei blinked her big eyes, “Then let’s go to the room.”

At her words, everyone cast unusual glances at the two, filled with surprise and envy.

“Tsk tsk! Sect Master Ye is indeed blessed with good fortune!” Mo Minxi, who was usually tight-lipped, opened her mouth rarely, her tone strange.

At her words, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

Ye Feng felt embarrassed.

He wanted to say that Hu Feifei was just a humanoid spiritual artifact with high-level intelligence and not a real creature!

But this secret had to remain undisclosed.

Left with no choice, Ye Feng could only change the subject: “Ladies and gentlemen, the demon fiend who came to cause trouble has been subdued. Next, please let the envoys from the County King City’s Sect Master’s Grand Hall continue the music and carry on with the celebration of ascending to star-level status.”

“Right, right, right, hurry up with the music and continue showering flowers!” Mo Wenshi, an old hand, quickly urged the Element Gathering realm maidens behind him to scatter the flowers and play various instruments.

The melodious sounds continued to spread.

A deluge of fresh flowers kept falling like rain, and the atmosphere was once again enlivened.

Everyone was greatly astounded as they swept their eyes over the wreckage of the Fuyun Gloomy Forest and made their way back to the Misty Sect’s Main Plaza, taking their seats according to the previous arrangement.

On the high platform in front of the plaza.

Mo Wenshi personally handed over the ceremonial plaque to Ye Feng.

“From this day forth, Misty Peak officially renames itself as Misty Sect, becoming a one-star comprehensive Sect. Let us all congratulate them!”

Clap clap clap!

The crowd clapped their hands one after another.

Ye Feng personally lifted the red cloth, revealing the brand new plaque.

The three golden, sparkling characters of “Misty Sect” were very striking, and even the space between the lines exuded a robust vitality.

Upon continued observation, it could even calm one’s mind and swiftly enter a state of cultivation.

“This is the handwriting of the Sect Main Hall Master!”

“It’s said that he is a transformed Demon King, skilled in calligraphy and painting. Any one of his works contains a special meaning and auctions for no less than ten thousand Spirit Stones.”

All the Sect Leaders of the various Sects nearly cried out of envy.

“The Hall Master is truly generous indeed!” Ye Feng exclaimed.

An item worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones was given away just like that. Truly befitting of a transformed Demon King in the Spirit Sea Realm, his foundation was deep.

Following Ye Feng’s removal of the red cloth, he took the plaque into the air and, in front of all the guests, hung it on the door of the Sect Leader’s Great Hall at the peak of Misty Peak.

With that, the title-conferring ceremony came to an end.

“Everyone, what are you waiting for? It’s time to present your gifts!”

The Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect shouted, waving his hand. Promptly, a number of beautiful maidens with trays came forward, placing the gifts on the long table before Shi Lei.

“Gifts from Liuyun Sect: a pound of decade-old Bi Luo Chun Spiritual Tea, ten middle-grade Spirit Stones…” a maid announced the list of gifts.

“Gifts from Longwu City: a Spirit Boat worth over a thousand Spirit Stones and two more gifts—a pair of young and beautiful maids with lower-grade spiritual roots,” another maid declared.

“`

“Maids?” The entire hall was astonished.

Jiang Feihua, the master of the Treasure Pavilion, laughed heartily, clearly very proud.

Ye Feng covered his face with his hand and murmured, “System, do those two maids meet our sect’s criteria for disciples?”

“They do,” the system responded.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Had they not met the criteria, dealing with them later would have been troublesome, but now that they did, it was an opportune moment to take them in and expand the sect’s numbers.

In the early stages, a sect’s advancement does not rely on the number of disciples.

However, after entering the ranks of a star-level sect, the number of disciples, elders, stewards, honorary guests, and protectors all became one of the reference criteria for further promotion.

The process of presenting congratulatory gifts continued.

No matter the value, gifts from the various sects all represented their goodwill.

Ye Feng was very happy with this.

However, when everyone saw the gift brought by Meng Haomiao, the commander of the guards from the County King’s Manor, shock was evident in their eyes.

“A millennium-aged Spirit Ginseng, it’s enormously nourishing for one’s vitality!”

“I could use some nourishment too.”

People couldn’t help but lick their lips.

“Sect Master Ye, our Commandery Princess congratulates your sect and wishes for it to become a two-star power as soon as possible.” After delivering his congratulatory message, Meng Haomiao returned to his seat.

“Convey my thanks to your Commandery Princess. I, Ye Feng, will bring my disciples and attend on time next year,” Ye Feng nodded.

Following that, Ji Wushuang stepped forward.

“Sect Master Ye, here are gifts from Sword Child, including a bottle of Lower Grade Consolidating Origin Pill, ten bottles of Upper Grade Cultivation Qi Pill, and three pounds of century-old Spirit Fruit…”

As Ji Wushuang’s words spread, they sent ripples through the surrounding area.

“As expected of the Sword Child from the Divine Wind Sword Sect, always so generous.”

People envied him so much that their eyes turned red.

Both had advanced to a one-star sect, so why had they only received some ordinary decade-old spiritual medicine and a few spirit stones at the time?

The disparity was huge!

Finally, Mo Wenshi approached with a brocaded box and handed it to Ye Feng, saying, “This is the Hall Master’s sincere gesture, and he hopes Sect Master Ye will accept it.”

“What is this?”

Ye Feng opened the brocaded box.

Inside lay a golden willow leaf.

At first glance, one might think it was a flying knife, and Ye Feng quickly used the Spirit Beast Pavilion’s scouting feature.

[Golden Willow Leaf: A spiritual treasure]

[Description: The life leaf of a Demon King Level transformative willow tree. It can be planted to grow a Golden Willow, which emits a fragrance that lets cultivators within its scent range enter a state of cultivation more quickly and enhances their comprehension by ten percent during that time.]

“This is indeed a treasure of great value!”

Ye Feng genuinely complimented.

A treasure capable of enhancing comprehension, even by just ten percent, is extremely valuable, worth at least ten thousand Lower Grade spirit stones.

It must be said, the unseen Hall Master is quite generous.

But Ye Feng was also puzzled.

Why was the Sect Main Hall Master being so courteous?

What conspiracy lay behind this gesture?

Or was it simply that he held great hopes for the Misty Sect, an elder’s act of support and care for a junior?

“Sect Master Ye, the Hall Master might personally visit after a while. Should you have any questions about this gift, you may ask him,” Mo Wenshi explained in a low voice.

Hearing this, Ye Feng nodded and said, “Thank him for me.”

Packing away the brocaded box, Ye Feng clapped his hands and declared loudly, “Let’s proceed to the last event of the star-raising celebration… Serve the dishes!”

No sooner had the words left his lips than the newly constructed wooden building near the Sect Main Plaza creaked open its doors.

Li Jiaojiao led the way, followed by dozens of maids borrowed from the City Lord’s Mansion, carrying trays and serving various dishes.

The delicious aroma spread and pervaded the entire venue.

“So fragrant!”

The crowd swallowed their saliva.
