The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal - Chapter 209:
Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Copying the Meridian Recurrence Pill, Upgrading the Refining Furnace
“This is not creating something out of nothing, nor is it fabricating from the void, but the function of this Duplication Crystal.”
After a pause, Ye Feng continued to introduce, “The Duplication Crystal is a magical Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact, which, under certain conditions, can replicate anything.”
“Replicate anything?” The disciples were shocked.
“Don’t be surprised, it’s true. Whatever you want to replicate, I, the Sect Leader, will personally replicate it for you,” said Ye Feng, holding the Duplication Crystal.
With this Spiritual Artifact, there was no worry about running out of Meridian Recurrence Pills.
However, aside from Mo Ying, Ye Feng had not revealed the news of the Meridian Recurrence Pill to the other disciples.
In Ye Feng’s view, once the disciples knew about this elixir, they would not cultivate with enough caution, always feeling that it was no big deal if they failed to break through their realms since they could start over with the Meridian Recurrence Pill.
Over time, this would cause them to lose the resolve of burning their boats.
Therefore, Ye Feng and Mo Ying agreed that the existence of the Meridian Recurrence Pill needed to be kept a secret, so that the disciples would always believe they only had one chance to break through to the Element Gathering Realm, and thus they would practice more diligently and build a stronger foundation daily.
At that moment, Li Jiaojiao took out a wok and said, “Sect Master Uncle, I want to duplicate a wok.”
“No problem!” Ye Feng nodded.
The main components of a wok are iron and carbon, along with a small amount of impurities, all of which are abundant within a ten-mile radius of Misty Peak, making it easy to replicate.
The next moment, the Duplication Crystal scanned the wok in Li Jiaojiao’s hand, forming a three-dimensional hologram inside, rotating slowly and emitting light, absorbing the required components from the surrounding ten miles.
Whir!
Moments later, a beam of light shot out from the Duplication Crystal, projecting a wok onto the table, which instantly turned into a solid object.
Li Jiaojiao tapped the wok, making a “clang” sound, jumped up happily, and kept praising the magic of the Duplication Crystal.
“Sect Leader, please help me duplicate a piece of clothing.”
“I want to duplicate a salted fish.”
“Please give me a wife!”
“…”
The disciples spoke up one after another, vying with each other.
Listening to these strange requests, Ye Feng was speechless and chose a few reliable items to duplicate.
Afterward, he went to the Sect Leader’s Great Hall.
After closing the doors, Ye Feng began to replicate the Meridian Recurrence Pills.
“Ding, insufficient components!” The System emitted a prompt, “It is suggested to head to the Nanlu Mountain Range or the Taiyue Mountain Range. The rich resources there meet the replication requirements of the Meridian Recurrence Pill.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng immediately set out for the Nanlu Mountain Range.
“Where is the Sect Leader going again?”
The disciples looked at the direction Ye Feng was heading in, curious.
Nanlu Mountain Range.
Ye Feng stood atop a high mountain, surveying the wilderness, noting the abundance of Demonic Beasts and the lushness of the earthly spiritual plants, with soil rich in various components.
“Begin replicating!”
Ye Feng activated the Duplication Crystal, making it shine with a soft light that gradually enveloped an area within a ten-mile radius.
Everything scanned by the Duplication Crystal had its structure recorded, so that in the future, as long as the local components met the conditions, replication could be performed at any time.
Half an hour later.
A beam of light emerged from the Duplication Crystal, projecting an elixir covered with patterns in mid-air, which gradually solidified.
“Got one!”
Ye Feng did not pause and continued replicating.
However, the components in this area were only enough to replicate two Meridian Recurrence Pills. Half an hour later, Ye Feng had to shift his location, moving to another range of mountains.
Until he had traversed the entire northwest section of the Nanlu Mountain Range, Ye Feng had only gathered five Meridian Recurrence Pills, which, along with two in stock, made a total of seven.
“This should be enough for now.”
Ye Feng placed the Meridian Recurrence Pills into a Jade Vial and then into the System Space for safekeeping. After that, he took out the Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact Spirit Origin Clock.
This was the first spiritual artifact used, which had been of great assistance, having once suppressed the likes of the leaders of Heixuan Gate, the Great Elder of the Tyrant Blade Sect, and Brother Flathead.
However, as power increased, the might of the lower-grade Spirit Origin Clock could no longer keep up.
Nonetheless, Ye Feng decided to duplicate this spiritual artifact, providing each disciple with one, to facilitate the suppression of cultivators or demonic beasts of lower realms.
As the Duplication Crystal scanned the data from the Spirit Origin Clock, a gentle radiance began to emanate, extracting the necessary components from the surrounding area, and after almost half an hour of condensation, successfully projected a second Spirit Origin Clock into mid-air.
“Even lower-grade spiritual artifacts can be replicated, that’s really good, but unfortunately, it’s too slow, nowhere near as fast as using a refining furnace,” Ye Feng mused with a playful heart.
He picked up a lower-grade spirit stone, prepared for duplication.
“Ding, insufficient components!”
To his disappointment, Ye Feng received a prompt from the System, indicating that the area lacked the components to form a spirit stone, and he had to give up.
After the better part of the day.
Ye Feng returned full-handed, landing on the summit of Misty Peak, still holding a large pile of spirit mines that had just been refined by the middle-grade Refinement Furnace, to continue refining spiritual artifacts with the Refining Furnace.
However, the refining of spiritual artifacts required a large number of spirit stones.
In just three days, Ye Feng consumed thirty middle-grade spirit stones, two thousand lower-grade spirit stones, as well as all the spirit mines he had on hand, eventually obtaining two middle-grade spiritual artifacts and thirty lower-grade ones.
“The foundation of the Misty Sect is still too weak, I’ve only refined continuously for three days, and now there are only a few lower-grade spirit stones left…” Ye Feng’s mouth twitched.
He had been so focused on accumulating energy for the Refining Furnace that he neglected sleep and meals until he had exhausted all his stock and realized he had become poor.
However, when Ye Feng opened the data panel of the Refining Furnace, he discovered a pleasant surprise.
[Upgrade Energy: 103% (Upgrade Available)]
There was enough energy!
Ye Feng was overjoyed, promptly clicking to confirm the upgrade.
As 100% of the energy was consumed, several exquisite glowing runes appeared on the surface of the Refining Furnace, with a pale golden glow swirling around the furnace wall, giving it a sacred appearance.
“Ding, Refining Furnace upgrade complete!”
[Upgrade Energy: 0.3%]
The remaining energy had dropped from the original 3% to 0.3%, meaning that 997 more lower-grade spiritual artifacts would need to be refined to accumulate enough special energy to upgrade the Refining Furnace to a supreme-grade spiritual artifact.
Ye Feng, his emotions stirred, held the now upper-grade Refining Furnace in hand and immediately took out the five crystals of Flame, Jinling, Earth Rock, Wood Hua, and Profound Ice, throwing them all into the furnace in one go.
“Refine for me the most perfect Five Elements Spirit Sword!”
Ye Feng issued the command.
“Ding, basic materials meet the requirements, but an upper-grade spirit stone and eighty-eight middle-grade spirit stones are still needed,” came the indifferent prompt from the System.
“This… this many?”
Ye Feng quickly poured out the five crystals, slapped his forehead, and cursed himself for forgetting that refining spiritual artifacts would also consume spirit stones.
“An upper-grade spirit stone is equivalent to a hundred middle-grade, which means I’m short of eighteen thousand eight hundred lower-grade spirit stones…” Ye Feng agonized internally.
After so much effort to upgrade the Refining Furnace to upper-grade, he thought he would be able to refine the Five Elements Spirit Sword but was short by such an amount of spirit stones.
“Right, I can sell these spiritual artifacts.”
Ye Feng noticed the thirty-two spiritual artifacts he had just refined today. Among them, the two middle-grade artifacts were a flying sword as thin as cicada wings, about a foot long, and a purple-gold bell the size of a thumb, which possessed special functions such as storage and sonic attacks.
These two middle-grade spiritual artifacts were naturally to be reserved for his disciples.
As for the thirty lower-grade artifacts, Ye Feng planned to sell them all at a high price.
“It looks like I have to make a trip to Wuxuan Pavilion myself.”
Ye Feng put away all the spiritual artifacts.
He was ready to meet with the Store Owner of Wuxuan Pavilion, negotiate personally, and see if he could sell these spiritual artifacts at a high price.
