In an instant, the crowd went into an uproar.
Actually, if Ye Zifeng relied on his mission’s perfect performance in obtaining a large amount of demon crystals and obtained an additional spot in the Celestial Sect of Wonders to exchange knowledge, it wouldn’t be too difficult.
However, if the Wind Master personally recommended it to the Celestial Sect of Wonders, then it would be quite significant.
“Ye Zifeng, do you know what you’re talking about? You actually want the Wind Control Academy to recommend you? You have to understand that even the Wang family has never enjoyed such treatment.” Elder Lin recovered from his shock and hurriedly rebuked him.
If an ordinary exchange student went to the Celestial Sect of Wonders and reached their territory, it was inevitable that they would be treated coldly.
However, if a person was personally nominated by the Martial House’s headmaster, and the various Celestial Sect of Wonders’ elders were all here to witness this, then the treatment they would enjoy would naturally be extraordinary.
Ye Wen nodded his head indifferently, while a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“It’s precisely because of this that this recommendation is worth a reward of ten thousand points.”
As he spoke, his left hand intentionally or unintentionally made a “Six” gesture, obviously reminding the other party of the matter regarding the reward of six times the reward.
“You …” Elder Lin was speechless for a moment. Although he was furious, he couldn’t do anything to Ye Feng.
If he really pissed off the other party, he would immediately ask for the additional 10,000 points. This definitely wasn’t a small amount either.
Seeing Ye Feng’s attitude, the people from the Celestial Sect of Wonders started to discuss among themselves one by one.
“Senior Brother, what do you think of this kid surnamed Ye?”
“Although he looks to be only twenty years old, he is neither arrogant nor impetuous. He is mature and steady, and he will definitely become a legendary figure in the future.”
Previously, Old Suo had used his spiritual will to investigate the situation in the Blood Red Valley and was especially appreciative of Ye Feng.
“That’s right. If Ye Feng wishes to become an exchange student for the Celestial Sect of Wonders, I have no objections.”
“I have no objections. Moreover, maybe in the future, I will have to ask him for help in pill refining matters.” Adept Liu stroked his beard and smiled. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ye Feng, his eyes full of admiration.
When they heard about alchemy, all of the Mysterious Gate’s elders looked at each other and laughed. Regardless of the stage they were at, they needed alchemists to assist them. Soon after, more and more people agreed to let Ye Feng join them.
When Elder Lin saw how the people from the Celestial Sect of Wonders were eager for Ye Feng to join them, he became a little anxious in his heart.
“But, have you ever thought about that? The disciples from the Celestial Sect of Wonders are mostly at the martial arts realm, and the exchange students from our Martial House are also at the ninth level of Qi Refining. But Ye Feng is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining. I’m afraid that it will affect your Celestial Sect’s reputation.”
“This …”
The elders of the Celestial Sect of Wonders pondered for a moment before looking at each other. Some people were about to step forward to express their indifference.
However, the people in charge of this place weren’t them after all. Instead, it was the Wind Palm Academy.
“That is true. Elder Lin is right. Although Ye Feng has great potential, his cultivation level is a bit lower. If he’s at the eighth level of Qi Refining, that would make sense. But this seventh level of Qi Refining …”
“Tsk, tsk.”
“It’s still a bit far from my recommendation. However, little brother Ye, you don’t need to be discouraged. When did you reach the eighth level of Qi Refining? If there’s a chance, I will naturally recommend you to it.”
The words that came out of his mouth were a tactful rejection of Ye Feng’s request.
Everyone let out a deep sigh. They had thought that Ye Feng would be incomparably disappointed.
Unexpectedly, his face was solemn, and he only nodded his head before bowing deeply and bowing. “Thank you for your kindness, Wind Palm Academy. I understand that as long as I reach the eighth level of Qi Refining, the Wind Palm Academy will recommend me if I have the chance.”
“That is correct. If there is a chance, I will recommend it for you.” He specifically said the words “if there is a chance,” with incomparable emphasis.
From his point of view, it was all an opportunity for Ye Feng to meet him today. However, once the month passed, who would still remember what the Wind Palm had said back then and would have long forgotten about it.
“That’s good.” Ye Wen smiled and nodded.
“What do you mean …”
“That’s good.” Elder Lin’s heart turned cold.
This smile could not help but give rise to a bad premonition within their hearts when they saw this smile. They had a nagging feeling that something was amiss. However, they could not say what exactly this feeling was.
Ye Wen smiled indifferently, then he walked over to the people from the Celestial Sect of Wonders and asked, “May I ask what day the deadline is for the selection of disciples from the Celestial Sect of Wonders?”
“There is no specific day. As long as we return three days later, we will be fine,” Old Man Suo replied with a smile. He seemed to have noticed what Ye Feng was planning, so he obediently replied to him out of love.
“Since that’s the case, Feng Shamo, for three days, Zi Feng wants to see if he can break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining before the elders of the Celestial Sect of Wonders return.”
“What did you say?” Elder Lin’s eyes widened as he sucked in a breath of cold air. “You’re treating this promotion like a child’s play. Do you think you can rise whenever you want?”
“Zi Feng has never treated this as a child’s play. I … am serious.” Ye Yifeng said each word haltingly. His expression revealed an indescribable sense of solemnity.
“Continue listening to him, Elder Lin.” The Wind Palm Academy waved his hand and said. He did not have any conflicts with Ye Feng, so when he spoke, he did his best to maintain a fair and objective stance.
“Yes.” Old Lin could only reply resentfully.
Ye Zifeng paused for a moment before continuing, “Therefore, if I am unable to reach the eighth level of Qi Refining within three days, Zi Feng is willing to give up the ten thousand points reward for the Ice Wolf and the opportunity to enter the Celestial Sect of Wonders to exchange knowledge. If I am lucky and have a breakthrough, I hope that the school can recommend me.”
“Within three days, I’ve reached the eighth level of Qi Refinement.”
When the students heard Ye Wen’s clear voice, they couldn’t help but feel a little confused.
“Could it be that Ye Zifeng is already at the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining and is only a step away from the eighth level?”
“That can’t be. I remember that before he joined the mission, he should only be at the sixth level. How could he continuously rise up to the next level?”
Ye Xueyi’s beautiful eyes contained an extremely anxious expression. She was the one who understood Ye Feng’s current state the most. She also knew that her brother was the same as her, climbing to the seventh level of Qi Refining during the mission. He was still quite a distance away from the eighth level.
The gazes of the Wind Palm Academy were like cold lightning as they sized up Ye Feng. In his heart, he was becoming increasingly interested in him.
“Ye Zifeng, you’re not bad. You’re a person with determination and self-awareness. Alright, I promise you, if you can really do this in three days, you can be considered to have proven to me that you’re someone worth my recommendation. At that time, not only will you be rewarded with ten thousand points as usual, I’ll also personally write you a letter recommending you to enter the Celestial Sect as a student for exchange.”
When the true members of the Celestial Sect of Wonders saw that the situation had turned around, they also had a slight favorable impression of the Wind Bureau. They knew that when he dealt with matters, it could be said that he handled matters fairly.
A divine light flashed in Ye Zhan Xing’s eyes. He cupped his hands in salute and said, “Then … thank you, Wind Palm Academy.”
“There’s no need to thank me so quickly. Perhaps, if you can’t complete it, you won’t even have time to hate me. Right, Shen Li, you will bring everyone with you to the Secret Treasure and collect the corresponding items.”
“Yes, Sect Leader.” Elder Shen replied respectfully.
“The Martial House has yet to entertain all of you,” he said, turning his head to face the elders of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. “Later, I will invite all of you to step into the jade courtyard. Tonight’s Great Spirit Banquet, I will be intoxicated by the lords.”
….
On the way to the Secret Treasure, the crowd could not help but reveal overjoyed expressions.
“Sigh. Shi Chen, tell me, how should I spend so many contribution points in one go? Give me some advice.” Han Xiuming thought about this question the entire time and was incredibly excited.
Hearing this, Shi Chen scolded, “If you ask me, I’ll ask who. I want to know how to spend it. Do you think I need to be so distressed right now?”
There were simply too many contribution points. They were immersed in a sea of happiness, unable to extricate themselves from it. When they came back to their senses, they were at a loss as to how to spend this reward.
This kind of situation was not uncommon amongst the vast group of people that headed towards the Secret Treasure sect.
Ye Feng smiled faintly and stood at the end of the group. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up as a trace of an ice-cold aura squeezed into his mind.
He then began to ponder and slowly closed his eyes …
“Elder Shen, for you to use your soul telepathic thoughts to communicate at such a close distance, isn’t that a bit too much of a waste of energy?”
Elder Shen, who was at the front of the group, closed his eyes. By relying solely on his voice and memory, he did not have any problems finding his way.
“Little brat, I was only able to use my soul telepathic thoughts because I was about to curse you,” he cursed. It was obvious that he was already filled with rage.
He forcefully adjusted his emotions and continued, “Say, why can’t you think about it? If you don’t want to boast to the Wind Palm Academy about something, why would you? Right now, the reward for the ice wolf that you painstakingly hunted down is already gone. That’s a total of 10,000 points! Even if you eat a spirit feast, you can still eat ten full meals. How can you just give up just like that …”
“Zi Feng, thank you for Elder Shen’s concern. However, the Wind Palm Academy said that if I can really rise to the eighth level of Qi Refining in three days, this reward of ten thousand points will still be retained.”
Elder Shen’s mouth twitched slightly. “Young man Ye, don’t tell me you really think you can rise in just three days? Even if you want to be arrogant, you still need to have a limit. If you can really do this, so what if I give you my unique magic treasure?”
Ye Wen’s sharp eyes flashed. “Are you serious? I think Elder Shen is betting with me on a wager.”
“This …”
“Forget it.”
For some reason, when Elder Shen heard Ye Feng’s confident voice, even though he was an elder of the Martial House, his lips were slightly trembling. He had become a little cowardly.
“Speaking of which, brat, when the secret treasure arrives, have you thought about where you might spend the reward of ten thousand points?”
