Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Believers, Sect Attire (Four Chapters More)

“How could I have failed?” Ye Feng asked.

Xin Guangxuan was not low in talent, and his foundation was very solid.

Logically speaking, his chances of success in breaking through should have been over eighty percent, and with extra care, the success rate could have been improved, essentially ruling out any problems.

But somehow, Xin Guangxuan still failed.

To this, Ye Feng expressed his puzzlement.

“At first, my preparations were very thorough.”

“First of all, many elders and stewards of our Liuyun Sect had imparted their experience to me.”

“Even the Sect Master allowed me to cultivate in the spiritual energy chamber near the spirit vein.”

“But in the end, I still failed.”

“Perhaps, this is my fate!”

Xin Guangxuan sighed deeply.

Ye Feng felt a bit of sympathy for him.

The two were not heart-to-heart best friends, but they were friends with similar interests who helped each other, and there was indeed a friendship.

Now, seeing Xin Guangxuan fail to break through, the first thing Ye Feng thought of was to help.

Therefore, Ye Feng quietly crushed a Meridian Recurrence Pill, put it in the teapot, and as he poured the tea, the elixir entered Xin Guangxuan’s teacup with the tea.

“Do not be too heartbroken, you are still young, do not lose hope in life, even if you cannot continue to break through, you should still live well, live a life that is splendidly your own.”

As soon as Ye Feng spoke, he was offering excellent words of comfort.

“Of course, I have to live well, after all, I have Xiaoxiao.”

Xin Guangxuan looked towards Whitefloat City with a loving expression, “I have already applied to become a steward of the Liuyun Sect, and I will be stationed in Whitefloat City from now on. This way, I can stay with Xiaoxiao every day and dual-cultivate.”

Hearing the last four words, Ye Feng’s mouth twitched.

“Xiaoxiao” was Baihua Xiao, the mistress of the Jade Green Tower in Whitefloat City, and Xin Guangxuan’s dual cultivation companion.

This, Ye Feng knew.

But what he did not anticipate was Xin Guangxuan being so brazen, still thinking about dual-cultivating with Baihua Xiao every day even after failing to break through.

“Damn! Flaunting his love in front of me, I shouldn’t have felt sympathy for him.” Ye Feng somewhat regretted wasting a Meridian Recurrence Pill.

At this moment, Xin Guangxuan picked up his teacup and drained it. The cool medicinal liquid in his stomach immediately improved his meridians, making them resilient, and restored them to their state before his failed breakthrough.

“My meridians have actually recovered!”

Xin Guangxuan was shocked, his eyes widened.

His first reaction was disbelief.

Following that was excitement.

Then, he suddenly realized something and looked at his teacup.

Finally, he stared at Ye Feng, his eyes wide and with a trembling voice said, “Ye… Sect Master Ye, what kind of tea is this? It actually allowed my meridians to reverse to before my attempt to break through, giving me another chance to impact the Element Gathering Realm.”

“This is called Dog Food Tea,” Ye Feng said gruffly.

“Dog Food Tea?” Xin Guangxuan did not understand what Ye Feng was talking about, but it sounded quite interesting.

But soon, he recalled how different the taste of the tea before and the taste of the tea just now were, and immediately realized there was an issue.

“Sect Master Ye, I understand now, you put some kind of incredible elixir in the tea that reversed my meridians to their pre-breakthrough state, right?”

“Holy crap! How did you guess that?” Ye Feng tactically leaned back, creating some distance from Xin Guangxuan, thinking to himself how clever this guy was.

“No, I didn’t add any elixir!” Ye Feng didn’t want to expose the Meridian Recurrence Pill, so he decisively shook his head in denial, “Actually, what you drank is a special spiritual tea that grows in a miraculous place and can nourish the meridians.”

“Really?” Xin Guangxuan was skeptical yet hopeful.

“Really.” Ye Feng nodded seriously.

Seeing his expression, Xin Guangxuan believed him mostly.

He had never heard of any elixir that could rebuild meridians, but the possibility existed for spiritual tea from heaven and earth.

So, he believed Ye Feng’s words.

“No matter what, Sect Master Ye, you have given me a second lease on life. I owe you a huge favor. Xiaoxiao and I are planning to open a new branch of the Jade Green Tower. When the time comes, the ladies inside are yours to choose from, ensuring your satisfaction,” Xin Guangxuan said.

“Pfft!”

Ye Feng spit out the tea in his mouth.

The conversation, which had been perfectly normal, was twisted again by Xin Guangxuan.

Ye Feng really wanted to crack open his head and see if the word “flirty” was written all over his brain.

“Is the new Jade Green Tower branch that you’ve opened on the up and up?” Ye Feng asked after pondering for a moment.

Xin Guangxuan lowered his voice, “Of course it is.”

Ye Feng also lowered his voice, “If it’s so respectable, why are we talking like we’re committing a crime?”

“Generally speaking, shouldn’t discussions about this sort of thing be conducted with caution?” Xin Guangxuan said with an air of it being self-evident.

Ye Feng had no response to that.

Then suddenly, Xin Guangxuan spoke earnestly, “Regardless, today Sect Master Ye has granted me a favor as great as life itself, and from now on, I plan to settle in Whitefloat City. Should there be any need, I am at Sect Master Ye’s disposal!”

[Power of Faith +10]

Upon receiving the system notification, Ye Feng was stunned.

Xin Guangxuan actually provided him with so much Power of Faith?

That seemed like quite a pleasant surprise!

It looked like that Meridian Recurrence Pill hadn’t been wasted.

“Sect Master Ye, I feel that the bottleneck in my cultivation level is loosening. I’ll go to the Jade Green Tower in Whitefloat City to find my Xiaoxiao. Once I break through to the Element Gathering Realm, I will start preparing for the new branch. Rest assured, I’ll definitely come with Xiaoxiao to support the celebration when your sect becomes a star-level force,” Xin Guangxuan said with a serious face.

Seeing his earnest demeanor, and recalling Xin Guangxuan’s previously flirty banter, the huge contrast made Ye Feng couldn’t help but laugh.

He nodded, saying, “Hmm.”

A moment later, Xin Guangxuan left.

He went into the Jade Green Tower in Whitefloat City, found Baihua Xiao who had been waiting for a long time, and began the wonderful life that Ye Feng envied and resented.

Time flew, and half a day passed.

Shi Lei and the other disciples were still outside sending out invitations, inviting all star-level forces and middle to high-ranked sects within a thousand-mile radius.

“Sect Leader, this is the base design for the sect’s clothes that I prepared, divided into categories: Sect Leader, Inner Sect Elder, Outer Sect Elder, Protector, Steward, True Disciple, Inner Sect Disciple, Outer Sect Disciple, Registered Disciple, and menial staff. Each category is further divided into formal wear, casual wear, and practice wear,” Gong Qingqiu presented a thick album, “How do you feel about it, Sect Leader?”

Ye Feng opened the album and found many colorful designs that were quite novel, but excessively flamboyant.

“The design is very good, but it’s not suitable for our sect at the moment,” Ye Feng acknowledged the effort but then rejected it.

“Why?” Gong Qingqiu was a bit puzzled.

With red date water in hand, she had spent nights carefully designing it, and to have it rejected left her feeling somewhat wronged.

“In other sects, your designs would be outstanding. However, our Misty Sect is different from the others; we don’t need such detailed distinctions… at least, not right now during our initial phase. It’s unnecessary to make it complicated,” Ye Feng pointed at the Outer Sect Disciple attire in the album, “Just this one would be enough. In our Misty Sect, the disciples’ clothes can be uniform, as well as the elders’, protectors’, and Sect Leader’s. That would be better.”

“Oh…” Gong Qingqiu appeared thoughtful, nodding as she seemed to grasp Ye Feng’s intentions, “Does the Sect Leader not want a large disparity within the sect, affecting the disciples’ psychology?”

“More or less,” Ye Feng nodded, thinking privately that Gong Qingqiu was indeed clever to have immediately caught on to his intention of avoiding differential treatment.

Because that could easily lead to jealousy and conflict.

“Okay, I’ll go make the changes.”

“No need to change it, this one will do!”

“Eh… sure.”

Gong Qingqiu nodded slightly, ready to leave.

“Wait, these three ancient books are for you, I hope they’ll be of use.” Ye Feng took out the reward from the mission, the top, middle, and bottom volumes of ‘Talisman Script True Explanation’.

“It’s the legendary ‘Talisman Script True Explanation’ that’s been lost to time!”

Her gaze fell on the cover, and Gong Qingqiu’s expression changed dramatically.
