The Clan Master Can’t possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 161: Chapter 161 – Nine-Turn Heavenly God Technique, First Place in the Demon-Slaying Assembly

On the grass.

A pile of spiritual objects lay quietly.

Two wooden boxes shining with a spiritual glow, four ancient-looking books.

The four ancient books appeared quite old, with the covers respectively bearing the titles “Method of Cultivating Divine Vegetables,”, “Three Essentials of Rearing Spirit Fish,”, “Complete Explanation of the Mini Gathering Spirit Formation,”, and “Nine-Turn Heavenly God Technique, Upper Volume.”

“No wonder we couldn’t find Han San’s storage ring; it turns out Brother Flathead swallowed it. Probably because it couldn’t digest it, so it spit it out,” Jia Yulan said thoughtfully.

“That’s not important anymore. What’s important is that we actually got a cultivation technique from the Divine Race.” Ye Feng picked up “Nine-Turn Heavenly God Technique, Upper Volume,” full of anticipation, and flipped open the title page.

The disciples didn’t care about eating and all gathered around.

“This is only the upper volume. It can cultivate divine sense power, up to a peak of third order, twice as strong as the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refinement, equivalent to a third of the transformation of a Black Patterned Serpent Demon.”

After reading the introduction on the title page, Ye Feng explained to the disciples.

“Only third order peak…” Jia Yulan was a little disappointed.

“The rest of the technique should be on Han Yi or Han Er, but one is at the peak of sixth order and the other at fifth; we can’t deal with them for now. Forget about the later techniques for the moment.”

Ye Feng waved his hand to dispel the disciples’ thoughts, “However, you can try to cultivate the ‘Nine-Turn Heavenly God Technique, Upper Volume’ first as an auxiliary cultivation method.”

“Yes,” the disciples nodded.

Li Jiaojiao picked up “Method of Cultivating Divine Vegetables” and after flipping through it, she realized that there were many tricks to planting divine vegetables and was immediately astonished, “So, gardening is also a science!”

Ye Feng said, “Everything is a science.”

With that, he opened the two wooden boxes shining with spiritual light and immediately dazzling light bloomed, like two golden lotuses falling to the ground, splendid and extravagant.

“Three thousand one hundred and three lower-grade spirit stones, we’re rich!”

Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Yu said in unison, causing everyone to look at the siblings in surprise.

“How do you know it’s that many?” Long Tianxing scratched his head.

Ouyang Yu explained, “These spirit stones are arranged very neatly, piled up to eleven layers high. The bottom ten layers are all filled out, twenty stones long and fifteen stones wide, which adds up to three thousand. The top layer isn’t full, and at a glance you can tell there are a hundred and three, so you just add them up to get the total.”

Ouyang Feng added, “Of course, that’s assuming the bottom layers are fully packed, without any gaps.”

“Damn!” Long Tianxing tactically leaned back, thinking to himself how come they can solve such a hard problem and I can’t?

Ye Feng showed a pleased smile to Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Yu, thinking to himself that this is the benefit of having learned “Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art.”

In comparison, when faced with such a simple math problem, Long Tianxing could only exclaim “Damn!”

Remembering this, Ye Feng slapped Long Tianxing on the head, “How would you count them if I asked you to?”

Without much thought, Long Tianxing said, “Definitely count them one by one!”

“Then go to the kitchen and count rice grains!” Ye Feng was somewhat speechless.

“Alrighty!” Long Tianxing said without hesitation and really went to the kitchen to count rice grains, while everyone watched his retreating figure, all covering their faces with their hands.

At this time, Ye Feng turned to the second wooden box.

Inside were some peculiar things, including compasses, new seeds for divine vegetables, and some strange spirit mines, which all seemed to be of little value.

With a wave of his hand, Ye Feng collected all these items.

“Okay, let’s eat, the Sect Leader is about to faint from hunger.”

“Right away,” Li Jiaojiao started preparing immediately.

As the group entered the kitchen, they saw Long Tianxing holding some rice grains, diligently counting them.

The disciples:

Ye Feng couldn’t bear to watch any longer, remembering he hadn’t made a wish today, so he revealed a disturbingly gleeful smile, “I want to make a wish, to give Long Tianxing a set of elementary school math textbooks, the kind that comes with summer and winter holiday homework!”

Long Tianxing suddenly found that the rice in his hand disappeared, replaced by a thick stack of books, immediately giving him a chilling feeling down his spine.

“As long as you don’t die from studying, study to death!” Ye Feng said solemnly.

“Sect Master, please no!” Long Tianxing implored with tears in his eyes.

“Brother, we want to discuss studying with you,” Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Yu approached, their faces adorned with sincere smiles.

Long Tianxing cried.

The other disciples covered their mouths and snickered before continuing cooking.

This time, Long Tianxing, under the watchful eye of Ye Feng, was forced to study in the Sect Leader’s Great Hall, with Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Yu sitting beside him to give pointers.

The heavy task of tending the fire was passed on to Shi Lei.

Half an hour later.

The meal was served, and Long Tianxing finally “liberated” himself, eating the shimmering variety of Spirit Dishes. But as soon as he thought of the headache-inducing math problems, he immediately found the food hard to swallow.

City Lord’s Mansion.

The Old City Lord, Deputy City Lord, and Lu Shanyue sat before a stone table, watching the steam rise from their teacups.

“After these past few days of healing, I am no longer in serious trouble; even though I lack cultivation, my body has ultimately been tempered by True Yuan and is now impervious to blades. It’s a pity that such strength alone is still not enough!” After a long time, the Old City Lord sighed.

Lu Shanyue promptly comforted him, “The Old City Lord has dedicated his life to Whitefloat City. Enjoying a peaceful old age like this is quite nice.”

“However, the Star-Level Sect assessment is set for next spring. Even though I meet all other requirements, my cultivation level is far from sufficient,” the Old City Lord worried.

“Isn’t there still Sect Master Ye?” the Deputy City Lord said.

“Sect Master Ye is indeed very strong, but he doesn’t want to be City Lord. What should we do?” The Old City Lord seemed helpless, spreading his hands in resignation.

Lu Shanyue, looking in the direction of Misty Peak, said, “Perhaps, Sect Master Ye might indeed be able to turn Misty Sect into a One-star Sect before next spring. At that time, the Old City Lord can apply to convert Whitefloat City into a subsidiary city of Misty Sect right before the spring assessment, and everything will be as it once was.”

“Reaching One-star Sect status is not so easy, is it?” The Old City Lord said somewhat speechlessly; after all, turning Whitefloat City into a Star-Level City had given them a lot of hardship back in the day.

“Others may not, but Sect Master Ye can.”

Lu Shanyue held great confidence in Ye Feng, “Think about it, how long did it take for Misty Sect to advance from a Lower Rank Sect to a High Ranked Sect? Seems like it was just a month! Now we still have more than half a year until next spring, it might just be doable.”

The Old City Lord and Deputy City Lord exchanged glances, feeling that Lu Shanyue’s words made sense, so they could only agree to this temporary plan.

“Back to business, the time for the monster extermination event in Whitefloat City is almost up; it’s time to determine the top three ranks,” Lu Shanyue said, getting to the crux of the matter.

“The first place is definitely Misty Sect, after all, with Sect Master Ye slaying the Tiger General and dozens of High-rank Demon Soldier Level beasts and fiends, not to mention Souhun Zhenren, he saved the entire Whitefloat City. His aura is dazzling, and the other sects couldn’t compare even if they tried,” the Old City Lord said.

“So, who will be in second and third place?” the Deputy City Lord inquired.

“Tyrant Blade Sect had a good haul; second place should be theirs. As for third, it’s between Nishang Palace and Feathers Sect!” the Old City Lord suggested.

“During the attack of the evil beasts, the Nishang Palace Master took the initiative to intercept them. Even though she was no match, she made a significant effort and prevented the demise of thousands of townspeople. She should be rated third,” the Deputy City Lord recommended.

“This Elder concurs,” Lu Shanyue nodded in agreement.

“Then, let it be so!” the Old City Lord nodded.

The next morning.

Explosive news spread.

The results of the monster extermination event branch in Whitefloat City had been announced!
