Chapter 1364: The Shock of the Many Geniuses
On the seats.
Ye Feng was amused and said:
"You just said that by joining Misty Sect, you would bring hatred to the sect? Ha! Not to mention a mere Vermilion Bird Sect, even the entire North Pole Star System can be annihilated with a snap of our fingers before Misty Sect."
These words were like a mudslide, violently crashing into Xu Huaigang's heart, making him look up at Ye Feng with a face full of disbelief.
"Could it be that I've severely underestimated the foundation of Misty Sect?" Xu Huaigang was filled with doubt.
On the ground.
The Thousand-Year Ancient Pine shook its body, couldn't help but laugh, and said, "Sect Leader, it seems this little guy doesn't know our Misty Sect's strength."
"Yes, this little guy is very naive." Ye Feng smiled and looked at Xu Huaigang, "Wait aside!"
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
Xu Huaigang quickly stood waiting aside, from time to time secretly observing around, and then he suddenly found that the grass under his feet had reached Divine Medicine level, instantly horrified.
"These are all Divine Medicines!"
Xu Huaigang looked around, only to see the Misty Peak summit covered in Divine Medicine-grade Spirit Grass, of incalculable value, his heart shocked to an unparalleled degree.
On the seats.
Ye Feng noticed Xu Huaigang's expression and also saw him standing on the ground, occasionally lifting his foot to look at the Divine Medicine-level Spirit Grass on the ground, as if stepping on red-hot steel needles.
"Feel free to step on the ground." Ye Feng lightly sipped a cup of tea and continued to explain, "These grasses are just ordinary wild grasses, because they've absorbed the Immortal Spirit Holy Spring Water on the summit and a large amount of Spiritual Energy, they've become Divine Medicines. There are plenty, if you want some, just grab a handful."
"Ah! These grasses, I can have them too?" Xu Huaigang's eyes widened, once doubting if he had heard wrong.
"Oink oink!"
At this moment, a pig's cry sounded on the mountaintop.
Xu Huaigang instinctively looked over, only to see a plump white pig eating grass, its tail swaying lazily.
"Pig San Pang, you're here stealing grass again."
From another direction came a loud voice, startling Pig San Pang who was eating grass, quickly lying in the grass pretending to be dead.
Not long after.
Fox Da Hong came running in human form, grabbing an oversized roast duck leg in his right hand, nibbling while running, with his left hand he yanked Pig San Pang who was eating grass, dragging him toward the neighboring Spirit Beast Peak.
"Big sister, don't pull me, I want to eat grass!"
Pig San Pang loved eating the Spirit Grass on the Misty Peak summit the most, with its front hooves on the ground, retreating yet opening its mouth, nibbling on the grass without wasting a bit.
On the ground.
Xu Huaigang watched this scene, dumbfounded at the spot.
"That plump white pig actually reached Quasi-Saint, this... this is too terrifying, right? And just now, that red-haired woman, she looked so beautiful, exuding intense Saint Might, could it be... she's ascended to Saint?"
Xu Huaigang muttered to himself, his body trembling constantly.
"The one eating the duck leg is Fox Da Hong, the one nibbling on Spirit Grass is Pig San Pang, both are members of the Spirit Beast Pavilion," Ye Feng explained, putting down his tea cup.
Then, he looked toward the edge of the cliff.
There were stone steps leading down the mountain.
A young man was crawling up the last stone step, lying on the ground, laughing heartily, he looked very excited.
"Finally reached the summit, from now on, I'm also a disciple of Misty Sect, woohoo!"
The young man let out a ghostly howl.
"Tiger Head Kid, you even arrived faster than me, how annoying!" A clear female voice came from below the cliff, then, a graceful silhouette climbed Misty Peak, panting heavily.
After the two, more people reached the summit.
These cultivators were almost all Divine Origin Realm talents, occupying the top hundred positions in this recruitment competition, those behind were Spiritual Sea Realm peak cultivators, also considered geniuses.
"Look, that guy reached the summit a long time ago. Look, his face isn't flushed nor is he out of breath, he must have rested for a while already."
Many people noticed Xu Huaigang.
All the cultivators present admired this outstanding talent.
"After reaching the summit, wait slowly first. If you feel tired, eat some Spirit Grass on the summit, it can help you recover your loss."
Ye Feng's voice spread.
Only then did these talents notice Ye Feng, the Heavenly Path Spiritual Monkey, Xia Wenwen, and others, drinking tea under the Thousand-Year Ancient Pine Tree, their eyelids twitching.
"Greetings, Sect Leader!"
Everyone put on serious faces, stood properly, and saluted.
"Those of you ranked in the top five thousand will surely become disciples of our Misty Sect. From now on, we're all one family; there's no need for formalities."
Ye Feng waved his hand.
Upon hearing this, Xu Huaigang and others' hearts were filled with joy.
Ye Feng's words meant they were sure to become Misty Sect disciples, making them delighted. They began examining their surroundings, captivated by the countless Divine Grass on the ground.
"Oh my God!"
"These are ten-thousand-year-old Divine Medicines!"
"The entire Misty Peak summit is covered with these Divine Medicines, truly prosperous!"
"The Sect Leader seems to have mentioned we can consume these Divine Medicines, is that true?"
"It's true, you can eat them."
These talents quickly squatted on the ground, pulling up stalk after stalk of Divine Medicine-grade Spirit Grass, shoving it into their mouths, recovering loss while their cultivation soared.
"I'm about to break through to Divine Origin Realm!"
A peak Spiritual Sea Realm cultivator ate too much indulgently, carelessly overstuffed himself, causing excessive energy accumulation within his body, his soul gradually condensing into his Primordial Spirit, starting to move toward the Divine Origin Realm.
"Focus on your breakthrough, don't mind anything else."
Ye Feng snapped his fingers, sending out Spiritual Light enveloping the Spiritual Sea Realm talent, making him feel cozy all over, all the energy within him gathering into his Qi Sea.
In the Mind Sea between his brows, the Primordial Spirit began to condense.
"I'm also about to break through!"
Quite a few Spiritual Sea Realm peak talents overate Divine Medicines, causing energy turmoil within, luckily Ye Feng was present, stabilizing their aura.
"These are Divine Medicines!"
"If placed in Xu Mansion, each one would be enshrined, but in Misty Sect, they can be eaten freely, and their quantity reaches tens of millions, truly terrifying."
Xu Huaigang looked at the countless Divine Medicines around him, quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, eating grass while recovering loss, greatly enhancing his cultivation.
Ye Feng sat on the seat, continuing to sip tea.
"Let me give you a boost."
He poured a cup of Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Water, sprinkling it into the void, transforming into a colorful mist, absorbed into Xu Huaigang and others' bodies, significantly enhancing their comprehension, resolving some problems that had troubled them.
Rumble...
From deep in the sky, Tribulation Clouds began to gather, layer upon layer, endless.
"Look!"
"Misty Sect has someone breaking through again."
"Standard operation, sit!"
People from various factions already formed a habit, waving and sitting on chairs to watch, devoid of the earlier excitement.
What remained was a sense of numbness...
On the stone steps of Misty Peak.
A large number of talents were striving hard to climb, indifferent about the Tribulation Cloud on the summit, hoping they could squeeze into the top five thousand and become official disciples of Misty Sect.
In a flash, an hour passed.
"I am up!"
As a youth wearing floral shorts rushed up Misty Peak, the top five thousand emerged.
Ye Feng looked over.
At present, the five thousand and first was about a hundred zhang away from the summit.
If the counterpart was only a few steps away from the summit, or ten or so layers of stone steps, he might have let it go, allowing the counterpart to become a Fifth Generation Disciple.
Unfortunately, the gap was too big!
Even if Ye Feng wanted to be lenient, there was nowhere to do so.
"This selection is over!"
Ye Feng waved his sleeve, the talents still on the stone steps all floated up and landed on the Sect Main Plaza below.
"Did we fail?"
Looking at Misty Peak growing far from them, the talents were eager to cry.
They had overcome countless obstacles, barely reaching the third round. Yet now, still unable to pass the third round of assessment, regretfully left.
