The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal - Chapter 345

Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Bizarre Mission, Two More Join the Element Gathering Realm
 

“A side quest? Not the Sect Leader’s fourth-stage task?”

Ye Feng said in astonishment.

It seemed that triggering the Sect Leader’s fourth-stage task wasn’t so easy; perhaps certain specific conditions needed to be met to activate it.

So, he still had to wait.

But even without a task, Ye Feng didn’t mind.

With that thought, Ye Feng opened the detailed description of the side quest, and then gradually, his expression became strange.

“Damn it! There’s actually such a bizarre quest?”

After reading the quest description, Ye Feng was dumbfounded.

[Side Quest: Infiltration in Disguise]

[Mission Details: Infiltrate the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect disguised as a woman, uncovering the secrets of the Demon Sect and the whereabouts of its former Sect Master]

[Mission Deadline: One month]

[Mission Rewards: Wonderful Transformation Spirit Pill ×10, Fifth Grade Magic “Condensing Origin Seal”, Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact Purple Cloud Treasure Garment ×1]

“Disguise as a woman?”

“System, what the hell are you thinking?”

“I, Ye Feng, even if I die, won’t disguise myself as a woman!”

“Eh, these mission rewards are quite generous, ah! There are actually 10 Wonderful Transformation Spirit Pills, and there’s a Fifth Grade Magic “Condensing Origin Seal”. As for the Purple Cloud Treasure Garment, even though it’s an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact, it’s not suitable for me…”

Ye Feng’s eyes widened.

Taking on side quests was challenging for him.

Infiltrating is fine, but why the need for a woman’s disguise?

However, the rewards were too good to ignore!

Ye Feng was truly tempted.

The Wonderful Transformation Spirit Pill goes without saying; it’s an essential elixir for cultivators aiming to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm and is also the main elixir used within the Spirit Sea Realm to enhance cultivation level, some of which he already had.

As for the Fifth Grade Magic “Condensing Origin Seal”, it’s an auxiliary spell to the cultivation method “Solidifying Element Technique”.

It seems that one must cultivate the “Solidifying Element Technique” to be able to cast it.

“Solidifying Element Technique” is awarded by the Sect when advancing to a One-Star member; cultivating it to its peak can solidify mana by a factor of two, and also double the success rate of breaking through bottlenecks.

However, this auxiliary cultivation method is hard to practice.

In the current Misty Sect, basically no one has cultivated it.

As for the Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact Purple Cloud Treasure Garment, Ye Feng wasn’t much interested.

To him, it seemed to be just a defensive garment.

“The mission rewards are very generous, I really want them, but what if I don’t want to dress as a woman?”

Ye Feng walked around in circles on the peak, contemplating whether to accept the mission or not.

At this time, Yan Ruyu and Jia Yulan brought over mats and sat cross-legged beside the Spiritual Spring at the top of Misty Peak, beginning their attempt to break through to the next realm.

The Spiritual Spring is a Minor Spirit Vein.

In the entire Misty Sect, this place had the densest spiritual energy, and there was the Purifying Green Lotus to purify the spiritual energy, which was even more conducive for breaking through realms.

“They are trying to reach the Element Gathering Realm, good!”

Ye Feng murmured softly.

He took out the Wind Spirit Pearl, released a wisp of Wind Element Spirit Energy, and formed a unique protective shield to safeguard the two women, preventing any disturbances.

Then, he sank into a dilemma.

“Forget it, let’s decide with a draw!”

Ye Feng took out two pieces of paper; one read “Mission in Disguise”, and the other read “I’d rather die than dress as a woman”.

Then, he began to draw lots.

Well, he was lucky—he drew “Mission in Disguise”.

“Definitely a coincidence!”

Ye Feng hastily continued to draw lots.

But, after drawing “Mission in Disguise” nine times in a row, Ye Feng was mentally exploded and tore up both pieces of paper on the spot.

“Anyway, there’s a month for the mission deadline, no rush.”

Ye Feng felt helpless.

If it were just an ordinary undercover task, he could have accepted it, but the damn System specifically wanted him to dress as a woman.

That was truly baffling!

Although one could refuse side quests, the rewards were too generous!

Not to mention the Wonderful Transformation Spirit Pills, just the Fifth Grade Magic “Condensing Origin Seal” itself was quite good and worth a try.

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

On the seventh floor of the Cultivation Tower.

Gong Qingqiu finally opened her eyes.

She could feel her cultivation level had completely solidified, and unexpectedly, she had reached the peak of the sixth level of the Element Gathering Realm.

“If I encounter that black-armored knight again, I should be able to slay him.”

Gong Qingqiu whispered to herself.

This was not arrogance but a true reflection of her strength.

“Right, I must set off for County King City early to deal with the purchase of the Shuiyang City Ruins, lest I go too late and someone else buys it.”

Gong Qingqiu hurriedly left the Cultivation Tower.

“Congratulations, Elder, on your successful breakthrough!”

The disciples saw Gong Qingqiu and noticed that her aura had increased at least several times over, each casting a look of respect her way.

“No need for such courtesies, focus on your cultivation.”

Gong Qingqiu nodded in acknowledgement to each of them, eventually arriving at Misty Peak.

“Sect Leader, I have successfully broken through, and I am now at the peak of the sixth level of the Element Gathering Realm. Thank you for your great support.”

Upon reaching the peak, she promptly bowed in thanks.

Had it not been for Ye Feng providing the Cultivation Tower, how could she have achieved today’s success?

“You are an Elder of our Misty Sect. When you are strong, the Sect grows strong as well!”, Ye Feng said with a smile.

After Gong Qingqiu’s breakthrough, he felt a considerable increase in his own strength.

At this stage, relying solely on the strength of his physical body, he could almost recklessly kill within the Element Gathering Realm.

“Sect Leader, I am preparing to go to County King City to discuss the purchase of the Shuiyang City Ruins and its transformation into a Spiritual Medicine Garden.”

Gong Qingqiu stated her intentions.

“That matter can be left to Elder Gong to handle by herself… Oh, and if you run into any problems, you can directly seek Hall Master Liu Ming. He should give you special consideration,” Ye Feng added.

“Hall Master Liu Ming? Understood,” Gong Qingqiu nodded.

She knew of Liu Ming’s good relationship with Ye Feng, and they were also in collaboration. If any issues arose, she would be able to visit Liu Ming.

“You should take this as well.”

Ye Feng took out an upper grade Flying Spirit Artifact, the Spirit Snake Flying Boat, and handed it to Gong Qingqiu, “It’s a journey of tens of thousands of miles to the County King City. The Spirit Snake Flying Boat will be lent to you for travel, just return it to me when you get back.”

“Thank you, Sect Leader,” Gong Qingqiu expressed joyfully.

This was an upper grade Spiritual Artifact, and with it, her journey would be even safer.

“Also, here is the first level of the auxiliary cultivation method ‘Solidifying Element Technique’. You can cultivate it on your way to see how effective it is.”

Ye Feng handed her a book.

Gong Qingqiu opened the cover of ‘Solidifying Element Technique’.

“To master the first level would increase the solidity of my mana by one third and also increase my chances of breaking through to the next realm?”

“What a great technique!”

Gong Qingqiu was greatly shocked.

She was at the peak of the sixth level of the Element Gathering Realm, but the chances of breaking through to the seventh level were not high.

Now, with the ‘Solidifying Element Technique’, she believed her path ahead would be much smoother, and she admired Ye Feng even more for providing her with this technique.

Before long, Gong Qingqiu departed.

She sat on the Spirit Snake Flying Boat, pondering the first level of ‘Solidifying Element Technique’ while flying toward County King City.

Under the night sky.

Gong Qingqiu finally reached her destination.

Sect Main Hall.

“Oh, it’s Elder Gong from Misty Sect, safe and sound as always.” Grand Elder Mo Wen of the Sect Main Hall greeted Gong Qingqiu with a salute as soon as he saw her.

“Elder Mo,” Gong Qingqiu returned the nod and proceeded to discuss her intentions to purchase the Shuiyang City Ruins.

“It’s a coincidence, that matter was previously under direct jurisdiction of the City Lord’s Mansion, but recently, it has been assigned under the Sect Main Hall’s internal management. Moreover, I happen to be the one overseeing it,” explained Mo Wen, smiling as he gently stroked his beard.

“That makes things much easier!” Gong Qingqiu exclaimed with joy.

“However, it’s already late at night, and the Hall Master isn’t in the city. The treasured seal is with him, and even though I can process the purchase documentation and deeds for you, the lack of the seal means it cannot temporarily take effect,” Mo Wen said with a look of frustration.

“Then I will wait a few days,” Gong Qingqiu responded.

She could use this opportunity to explore County King City, learn about the local administration, and continue her study of the first level of ‘Solidifying Element Technique’.

…

At the peak of Misty Peak.

After a night of dedicated cultivation, Jia Yulan and Yan Ruyu finally broke through their bottlenecks. A Spiritual Sense coalesced at the center of their foreheads, propelling them into the Element Gathering Realm in one fell swoop.

Whoosh!

A vast amount of Spiritual Energy rushed in, blessing them and transforming into pure True Yuan, their auras growing ever more fierce.

“We did it!”

Ye Feng, who was sitting on a lounge chair, sat up straight and smiled with satisfaction.
