The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

26  Chapter 26: Newbie Gift Pack

"Roar!"

Brother Flathead tore through the bushes by the side of the road, leapt onto the path, stood upright, and, roaring, pounced toward Ye Feng.

The Zhou Family Brothers initially thought Brother Flathead was charging at them, but upon closer inspection, they realized that their companion Ye Feng was the object of its enmity!

"This guy, really relentless."

Ye Feng swiftly stepped forward, easily dodging Brother Flathead's sharp claws, and then kicked it dozens of meters away, right into a deep pit. It fell into an underground river and was swept away, unable to return for quite some time.

"How... how is that possible?"

The Zhou Family Brothers stood dumbfounded.

Ye Feng is just a mortal, isn't he?

How could he possibly have such quick reflexes, effortlessly evading the attack of that demonic beast?

What's even more terrifying is that Ye Feng actually kicked it dozens of meters away with a single kick!

Is that the strength of a mortal?

The two brothers of the Zhou Family dropped their jaws, as if they had seen a ghost.

"True to form, our benefactor kicked away a high-rank demon soldier level beast with one move. My two children training in your Misty Sect will definitely stand out in the future," Ouyang Hao said, his face full of excitement and anticipation.

"My two nephews joined the Misty Sect?"

Steward Zhou Jiaqian was flabbergasted.

He had corresponded with Ouyang Hao earlier, saying that once they arrived at Whitefloat City, he would introduce his two nephews to a high-ranked sect.

But Ouyang Hao had actually let these two nephews join the Misty Sect!

"What, is that a problem?"

Ouyang Hao noticed that Zhou Jiaqian's expression was a bit off and asked curiously.

"Of course not, it's entirely up to my brother-in-law," said Steward Zhou Jiaqian, nodding repeatedly.

If it had been before, he definitely wouldn't have been happy about his nephews joining a low-ranked sect like Misty Sect.

Especially after watching Ye Feng effortlessly deal with Brother Flathead, Zhou Jiaqian's view of Misty Sect had completely changed. His nephews joining here didn't seem any worse than them entering a high-ranked sect.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Sect Master Ye saved our Ouyang family, so he should be invited into the city for a feast as thanks," said Ouyang Hao as he patted his chest with a "I'm treating" stance.

"There's no need for a feast; I need to first take them back to the sect for registration," Ye Feng said, pointing at Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Yu, looking somewhat anxious.

Seeing that the assessment period task was about to be completed, where would he have time for a feast? It would be more prudent to first register their information and receive the newcomer's gift package.

"How about this, Sect Master Ye? You first take the two nephews back to Misty Peak for registration, and I will escort my brother-in-law back to the city. Tonight, I will host a banquet on behalf of the Zhou Family for the entire Misty Sect. Someone will come to fetch your sect's members this afternoon," suggested Steward Zhou Jiaqian, offering a compromise.

"I have no problem with that."

Since it was in the evening and there was no time conflict, Ye Feng readily agreed.

"Alright then," nodded Ouyang Hao.

"In that case, I shall take my leave first," said Ye Feng, bowing to everyone, then leaped onto the Breeze-riding Sword released by Mo Ying, taking Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Yu with him as they soared into the sky, quickly vanishing from sight.

"Brother-in-law, let's head back to the city! Big sis has been fretful these past few days, wanting to see you," said Zhou Jiaqian.

"First, tend to the wounded, and then we'll set off!"

Ouyang Hao, considerate of his subordinates, ordered a brief respite on the spot before embarking.

...

Atop Misty Peak.

Li Jiaojiao stood on the edge of the cliff, looking out expectantly.

Seeing Ye Feng and Mo Ying return, her eyes lit up and she asked curiously,

"Sect Master Uncle, you've finally returned. Who are these two little brothers and little sister?"

Ye Feng spoke happily, "These are Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Yu. From now on, they will be the tenth and eleventh disciples of our sect."

He hastily pulled the siblings to the Sect Leader's Great Hall, took out the Book of Names, and registered them with the utmost speed.

As the Sect Leader's Seal was stamped down, a strange sensation washed over his heart.

"Ding, received registered disciple 'Ouyang Feng,' lower grade spiritual roots, currently without cultivation."

"Ding, received registered disciple 'Ouyang Yu,' lower grade spiritual roots, currently without cultivation."

The System's promotion sound chimed in.

Ye Feng found that the progress bar for the assessment period task rose to "99%" but did not reach one hundred percent.

Just as he was at his wit's end, he heard the System's voice again.

"Congratulations to the host for recruiting ten disciples within seven days, including three Outer Sect Disciples and seven Registered Disciples, with the highest cultivation among them having reached the seventh layer of Qi Refinement, exceeding the task requirements."

As the voice faded, the progress bar instantly hit "100%."

"Congratulations to the host for completing the assessment period task, the System is now permanently bound and cannot be changed!"

"Ding, identity updated, congratulations to the host for becoming the owner of the 'Strongest Sect Leader System'." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"The newbie gift pack will now be settled, and since the host has exceeded the task requirements, the quality of the gift pack has been improved, please check the rewards carefully!"

As the System's voice sounded again, Ye Feng was pleasantly surprised to find several lines of light blue text appearing before his eyes.

[Lower Grade Cultivation Qi Pills×10]

[Sect Storage Space×10 cubic meters]

[First Grade Spell"All-Dimensional Spiritual Perception"]

[Auxiliary Cultivation Method"The Second Qi Sea - Upper Volume"]

[Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Spirit Origin Clock]

A total of five rewards.

Ye Feng became excited and said to the other disciples, "You guys show the two junior brothers and sisters around to get familiar with the surroundings; I have some matters to attend to."

Having said that, he closed the door of the Sect Leader's Great Hall.

After some exploration, Ye Feng discovered that as soon as his consciousness touched those words in his line of sight, corresponding information immediately flowed to him.

[Lower Grade Cultivation Qi Pill: An elixir used to enhance cultivation, suitable for use in the Qi Refining Realm.]

"So it's an elixir for increasing one's cultivation, looks to be quite good."

Ye Feng was somewhat pleased.

With an excited heart, Ye Feng opened the introduction to "The Second Qi Sea - Upper Volume."

The string of text slowly unfolded before his eyes.

Comment

In the Shenzhou Continent, elixirs and cultivation levels corresponded to each other, and they were named:

Qi Pill, Origin Pill, Spirit Pill, Divine Elixir, Void Pill, and Saint Pill, and each grade was further divided into Lower Grade, Middle Grade, Upper Grade, and Supreme Grade.

Lower Grade Cultivation Qi Pills were the lowest grade elixir, but the price was not cheap, as one pill could sell for at least five Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

Ye Feng continued to read on.

[Sect Storage Space: System attached, absolutely hidden and secure, items can be stored or retrieved at any time, with an initial space of ten cubic meters.]

Seeing this, Ye Feng realized he could connect with a completely enclosed dimensional space, which wasn't very large, with its length, width, and height measuring 2 meters, 2 meters, and 2.5 meters respectively, for a total volume of exactly 10 cubic meters.

"It seems this is the Sect Storage Space, also commonly known as the System Space," Ye Feng said to himself.

His consciousness peered into the Sect Storage Space and found that it contained ten thumb-sized white pills—clearly the Lower Grade Cultivation Qi Pills.

Besides that, there were two ancient texts and an ancient bronze clock the size of a teacup.

"The rest must be the First Grade Spell 'All-Dimensional Spiritual Perception,' the Auxiliary Cultivation Method 'The Second Qi Sea - Upper Volume,' and the Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Spirit Origin Clock," Ye Feng deduced quietly to himself.

Suddenly, he widened his eyes, his focus entirely on the ancient book titled "The Second Qi Sea - Upper Volume."

"Wait a second! It's actually an auxiliary cultivation method, not a spell; I misread it just now," Ye Feng gasped.

If it truly were an auxiliary cultivation method, then the value of the newbie gift pack was frightening indeed.

It was said that an auxiliary cultivation method started at a minimum of one thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones and were so valuable they were virtually impossible to buy.

With an excited heart, Ye Feng opened the introduction to "The Second Qi Sea - Upper Volume."
