Chapter 116: Sect Leader’s Second Phase Task
“Is there a task?”
Ye Feng’s heart leapt with joy, and he hurriedly opened the task introduction panel.
[Sect Leader’s Second Phase Task]
[Task Description: 1. Continue to lead Misty Sect to greatness, gaining universal admiration with a Sect Prestige Value breaking ten thousand; 2. Cultivate two Demon General Level Spiritual Beasts and seven High-rank Demon Soldier Level Spiritual Beasts; 3. Disciple assessment]
[Task Duration: Three months]
[Task Reward: Meridian Recurrence Pill×3, Consolidating Origin Pill×10, “The Second Qi Sea, Lower Volume”, Third Grade Spell “Heavenly Moon Strike”, Secret Technique “Shared Hatred”, Special Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact×1]
[Note: Completing each task yields one Special Small Gift Pack. All three tasks must be completed to obtain all of the above rewards at once]
Upon seeing this, Ye Feng felt a bit perplexed.
“I thought the second phase task was to make a push for Star-Level Sect, but it turns out it’s not. Could the requirements for a Star-Level Sect be that high?” Ye Feng inwardly complained.
“Misty Sect is currently just starting out as a High Ranked Sect, taking the first steps towards becoming a Star-Level Sect; indeed, there is still a considerable gap,” the System explained.
“I see!” Ye Feng nodded.
After some thought, Ye Feng felt that this made sense. If becoming a Star-Level Sect were that easy, the three High Ranked Sects of Whitefloat City wouldn’t still be subordinate to the City Lord’s Mansion.
In total, Whitefloat City possessed a mysterious City Lord at the Fourth Layer of Element Gathering Realm, a Deputy City Lord of Element Gathering Realm, and the Element Gathering Realm Sect Leaders of the three High Ranked Sects, among other powerhouses.
Combined, these forces were equivalent to an ordinary One-star Sect.
Ye Feng stopped thinking about the Star-Level Sect and decided to progress step by step, so he opened the three task descriptions for the Sect Leader’s second phase.
The first item: Breaking the Sect Prestige Value of ten thousand.
“This is easy to understand, just increase our prestige. Currently, our Misty Sect’s Prestige Points have already broken three thousand but still far from ten thousand,” Ye Feng murmured.
The second item: Cultivating spiritual beasts.
For this, Ye Feng was a bit troubled: “At the current stage, Misty Sect only has eight spiritual beasts. Even if Brother Flathead advances to Demon General, the remaining seven spiritual beasts upgraded to High-rank Demon Soldiers still leaves one short of a Demon General Level Spiritual Beast.”
“What’s more important is that we must wait for the Prestige Points to break ten thousand before the Spirit Beast Pavilion can accommodate more spiritual beasts.”
“Overall, this task is quite challenging. The completion progress depends on the time taken to break ten thousand Prestige Points.”
Thinking this, Ye Feng turned to the description of the last task.
[Subtask: Disciple Assessment]
[Description: A sect’s growth is inseparable from its disciples’ progress. Currently, the sect has a total of 12 disciples, including three Outer Sect Disciples and nine Registered Disciples.]
[Task Requirement: The System will automatically assign tasks. Within three months, all Registered Disciples must each complete a task to be promoted to Outer Sect; of the current three Outer Sect Disciples, at least one must pass the assessment to be promoted to Inner Sect Disciple.]
Seeing this, Ye Feng realized there was a long list of introductions below.
It listed the specialized tasks for the twelve disciples. Since this was a System task, each disciple’s corresponding task had already been assigned, and upon Ye Feng’s proclamation, they could begin execution.
“Among these three tasks, only the last one, the disciple assessment, is comparatively simple, which can mostly be completed within a month.”
“Moreover, when the disciples are out on missions, incidentally slaying demons and exorcising evil boosts the Sect’s Prestige Points as well—it’s killing several birds with one stone.”
Thinking this, Ye Feng stood in front of a whiteboard and picked up a brush to write and illustrate.
On the grassy peak of Misty Peak.
Qiao Jiaxi was performing a peculiar action: standing in a horse stance, lifting a giant rock weighing a thousand catties with both hands, standing unyieldly solid.
This was the first cultivation movement recorded in the “Ancient God Body Refining Technique: Body Refinement Chapter”.
“The first movement is very simple, which is to lift a huge stone that is at the limit of one’s strength and maintain it for the duration of half an incense stick, and that will count as one completion.”
“And I just need to persist for a hundred times to break through the limit again and advance to the second layer of body refinement.”
“There are twelve hours in a day, and one hour is roughly equivalent to the time of two incense sticks burning, so if I practice day and night without eating or drinking, I can break through in at most three days!”
“Refine the body, refine the soul, to refine the body is to rise above others!”
Qiao Jiaxi gritted his teeth and persevered, continually cheering himself on.
After advancing to the first layer of body refinement, his maximum strength had reached a thousand jin, so he asked Shi Lei for help in finding this giant stone on Misty Peak to begin the most arduous cultivation.
“Look at our little junior brother, so fierce! He has just reached the first layer of body refinement, yet he can lift a thousand jin heavy stone.”
“He said that he needs to complete the stone-lifting refinement a hundred times before he can advance to the second layer of body refinement, which is much harder than qi refinement.”
Other disciples sat in front of the hall, watching Qiao Jiaxi cultivate, most of them filled with admiration.
Even Huo Yunjie, who considered himself very diligent, conceded defeat this time.
“Eh, he’s already started cultivating?” At this moment, Ye Feng walked out of the Sect Leader’s Great Hall and hung a whiteboard filled with writing on the wall, nodding in satisfaction upon seeing Qiao Jiaxi cultivating.
“Sect Leader, what is this?” The disciples crowded around upon seeing the whiteboard.
“This is the Disciple Mission Wall. From now on, you must take on these sect missions, which will serve as this Sect Leader’s assessment of you,” said Ye Feng.
“We finally have missions?” Long Tianxing was the first to rush over and found his name.
“Long Tianxing: Registered disciple, must swiftly put a stop to his cousin Long Qitian’s bullying of the weak, until Long Qitian repents. Upon completion of the mission, one can be promoted to an outer sect disciple.” Long Tianxing read out his mission requirement.
“Your mission is kind of tough! It’s not easy to make someone like Long Qitian repent,” Jia Yulan commented, “My mission is much simpler—to grow fifty mature Vitality Grasses, and then I can become an outer sect disciple.”
“Look, apart from the eldest senior brother, the second senior brother, and the third senior sister, all of us are registered disciples,” Yan Ruyu pointed at the mission wall, sharing a new discovery.
“Correct!” Ye Feng finally spoke up, “You all are just registered disciples. To advance to the outer sect, you’ll need to undergo an assessment. As for Shi Lei, Huo Yunjie and Li Jiaojiao, they will be facing the inner sect disciple assessment.”
“Sect Leader, do we have any rewards after completing the missions?” Long Tianxing asked hopefully.
Ye Feng stretched out his hand and patted Long Tianxing’s head, saying, “Of course there are rewards for the missions. As for what they are specifically, you’ll find out later.”
In fact, Ye Feng had not actually considered what the rewards would be.
However, once he finished refining all the spirit mines into spiritual artifacts, it would be feasible to give one to each disciple.
“The missions are to be completed within one month; arrange your time accordingly. I have nothing more to say,” concluded Ye Feng as he unfurled the recliner and lay down at ease.
The disciples gathered in front of the mission wall, searching for the tasks they needed to complete.
“Oh right, I haven’t used today’s small wish. System, I want to make a wish, just give me anything,” Ye Feng thought to himself.
The next moment, a red embroidered belly band appeared in Ye Feng’s hand, emitting a fragrant scent, God knows where it came from.
“Dog System!”
Ye Feng’s mouth twitched. He tossed the red embroidered belly band like it was electrified, and it landed perfectly on top of the sleeping Brother Flathead.
The whole process was very discreet, and the disciples didn’t notice.
After a moment of thought, Long Tianxing decided to head to Whitefloat City immediately to stop his cousin Long Qitian from continuing his misdeeds. Thus, he gave a respectful salute to Ye Feng and said,
“Sect Leader, I am going to carry out my mission.”
