The white-shelled centipede caught wind of Huo Yunjie’s scent and, tearing through the soil, it darted through the ruins like an arrow.

At this moment, in front of the passageway.

Ye Feng and his companions could see what was happening around the pool through the light screen and knew it was Huo Yunjie who had volunteered to cover their retreat.

However, they didn’t know what happened afterward.

All they saw was Huo Yunjie slapping the rock face, using a boulder to block the path, and then, the white-shelled centipede went mad, shattering the paper warrior general, and the screen went black.

“Oh my, that scared me to death!”

Just then, Long Tianxing and Shi Lei leapt out from the ruins, with Long Tianxing clutching a foot-long jade bamboo shoot, making the spiritual energy around them much denser as they passed.

Soon, Huo Yunjie also escaped from the ruins.

But, as soon as he ran up to Ye Feng, Huo Yunjie felt his consciousness blur, and he knelt on one knee, nearly falling down.

“Yun Jie, what’s wrong with you?” Ye Feng immediately supported him, and his hand happened to grab his shoulder, noticing it was somewhat wet.

“He was bitten by a white-shelled centipede,” Mo Ying pointed to the spot Ye Feng was holding.

Upon closer inspection, everyone immediately noticed a pair of small puncture wounds, with the surrounding area red and swollen, still bleeding.

Boom!

At that moment, the white-shelled centipede burst through a rock in front of the ruins and lunged at everyone.

“How dare you attack my disciple!”

Ye Feng burst with rage.

He extended his hand towards the white-shelled centipede from a distance, making a grabbing motion in the air, and the centipede was immediately caught mid-air by an invisible hand, struggling in vain to break free.

“Die!”

With anger surging and a low growl, Ye Feng exerted all his strength. With a “crack,” the white-shelled centipede’s exoskeleton shattered, its insides spilling out.

“Such a potent power of Heaven and Earth, he has truly reached the standard of the Element Gathering Realm first level… My Sect Leader has unexpectedly enhanced his own strength out of concern for the safety of his disciples in the sect, how miraculous!” In silence, Mo Ying watched the scene unfold, marveling inwardly.

“Sect Leader, come quick and look at Second Senior Brother!”

Then, Ye Feng heard Jia Yulan’s voice and came back to his senses, noticing he was sweating profusely all over, but he didn’t care about himself and quickly tore open the clothes on Huo Yunjie’s shoulder to see the wound surrounded by a swollen, purplish-red area.

“We must let out the poisoned blood first!”

Ye Feng hung Huo Yunjie upside down, cut around the wound with a clean dagger, and drained a lot of dark poisoned blood.

Then, he thought of something and immediately took out a bottle of water from the System Space for cleaning Huo Yunjie’s wound.

This water came from the pool at the summit of Misty Peak, containing a part of the Purifying Green Lotus’s cleansing power, which, after washing the wound, slowly reduced the swelling and redness.

“Ouch, it hurts so much!”

Huo Yunjie finally regained consciousness, and realizing he was being hung upside down by Ye Feng, he was so frightened that he jolted and fell to the ground.

“It’s okay now.”

Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Huo Yunjie was at the peak of the seventh Qi Refinement level, and if he had run his qi to expel the venom right after being bitten by the white-shelled centipede, he wouldn’t have fallen unconscious.

But at the time, the situation was dire, and there was no chance to heal if they didn’t run, right?

“Now that the danger is gone, let’s take the useful parts of the white-shelled centipede with us and head back!”

Ye Feng said.

Half an hour later.

The group returned to Five-Colors City and caught sight of the Iron Claw Dragon Eagle circling nearby; they quickly boarded it and headed back to the Misty Sect.

That night, the disciples were all cultivating.

Ye Feng laid out the loot from the Nanlu Mountain Range in the Sect Leader’s Great Hall and began to take inventory.

Spirit Mines worth around three thousand Spirit Stones.

Materials from several Puppet Wild Wolves.

Gifts of gratitude for saving their lives from the various major sects.

A Mini Earth Element Slaughter Array in its semi-finished state.

In addition, there were some demonic beasts that had been killed, which were now cooked and distributed to Brother Flathead, the Iron Claw Dragon Eagles, and other Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts.

Due to not fighting for many days, and also because of the good food, Brother Flathead had clearly gained weight, leaning against the pool with a listless expression as if reminiscing about his brawling youth.

Ye Feng noticed that after Brother Flathead and the other spiritual beasts ate the flesh and blood of the demonic beasts, their cultivation level had obviously improved quite a bit, showing that this method was quite effective, and perhaps not much worse than consuming Spirit Beast Pills.

“Mo Ying, do you know where we can process Spirit Mines?”

Ye Feng raised his head and happened to see Mo Ying walking by with a towel and a change of clothes, so he asked.

“Spirit Mines are not purely raw materials; they are very impure and usually require specialized artifact refiners to refine and categorize them first. As for where to find artifact refiners, in the entire Southern River Basin, the Hundred Artifacts Sect is naturally the number one choice,” Mo Ying patiently explained.

Upon hearing the name of the Hundred Artifacts Sect, Ye Feng’s eyes twinkled.

In the System Space, there was a broken Arrow Bull Puppet, precisely made by the Hundred Artifacts Sect. If he could find an artifact refiner from the Hundred Artifacts Sect, they should be able to help refine these Spirit Mines.

“By the way, if the Sect is upgraded, will it unlock the Artifact-refining Pavilion?” Ye Feng suddenly thought to himself.

“Does the Sect Leader have any other matters?” Mo Ying flung the towel in her hand, “If there’s nothing else, I am going to take a bath.”

“There’s one thing. If we set up the Mini Earth Element Slaughter Array as a Sect Protection Array, do you think it’s appropriate?” Ye Feng inquired.

Annoyance flashed in Mo Ying’s eyes, hidden behind her black veil, as she replied, “Killing Arrays and Sect Protection Arrays are not the same thing.”

“How so?” Ye Feng asked, like a curious child.

Pointing at the formation flags on the ground, Mo Ying said:

“A Killing Array usually traps people within it and then activates powerful techniques to annihilate them, like the Mini Earth Element Slaughter Array, whose main function is for killing.”

“A Sect Protection Array is typically a defensive formation, creating a stronger shield that can effectively protect the Sect within the array. A Sect Protection Array also possesses offensive capabilities, but they are generally used against those attacking from outside the formation.”

Having said this, Mo Ying turned and walked into the bathroom, adding, “Besides, formations are usually powered by Spirit Stones. Our Misty Sect is rather poor, so it’s not suitable for us to activate a full-time Sect Protection Array.”

Bang!

Mo Ying closed the wooden door, followed by the sound of the water running.

Ye Feng stroked his chin, thoughtfully.

Then, he picked up one of the formation flags from the Mini Earth Element Slaughter Array and saw three slots on it; two were empty, and the last one had a Middle Grade Spirit Stone that was nearly depleted.

“Twelve main formation flags, when fully loaded, require thirty-six Middle Grade Spirit Stones, which is equivalent to three thousand six hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones. Even a High Ranked Sect can’t withstand such consumption, can they?”

Ye Feng was speechless.

However, for the sake of the Sect’s safety and until he completed the task of upgrading to a High Ranked Sect and received the System reward of “Miniature Sect Protection Array × 1,” Ye Feng still decided to utilize the Mini Earth Element Slaughter Array as a temporary measure.

A moment later.

Ye Feng packed up everything.

There was still some time left before his “Seven-Day Promise” with the Store Owner of Wuxuan Pavilion, so Ye Feng decided he would deal with his current tasks before heading to Beacon Fire City.

On the rooftop.

Ye Feng activated his Spirit Eyes and looked toward the backyard.

Ever since his return, Huo Yunjie had been “lying down as if dead,” the other disciples were also cultivating, and as for the Jade Bamboo Shoot, it had already been planted in the pool, nestled closely next to the Purifying Blue Lotus.

This led to the spiritual energy of the Misty Sect becoming very rich, hardly inferior to the blessed lands where High Ranked Sects were located.

“I believe that with more and more spiritual objects, our Misty Sect won’t need to move locations, and we can have a cultivation effect similar to that of a Spirit Vein,” Ye Feng envisioned for the future.

The next moment, as he heard the sound of water, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the bathroom.

Then, with his Spirit Eyes activated, Ye Feng’s gaze penetrated the wooden walls, seeing the silhouette of a perfect body filled with spiritual energy radiance beyond, and also, it seemed the person was looking back at him.

At that moment, it was as if the two were making eye contact through the wooden wall.

“Holy shit, this is a misunderstanding!”

Ye Feng was so shocked that he fell straight off the roof.
