C1683 Charms Are Hard to Catch
"A man wins against the heavens. We …" I will definitely do my best during this Inscription Master Convention period to fight to the death for my Earthly Essence Sect. "
"Victory, victory …"
"…"
A few more Inscription Master roared loudly, and within their voices, there were even traces of trembling.
Ye Feng was slightly shocked, it was just a few sentences of his, but it was able to make the people who were hostile towards him change suddenly. It seemed that these people who were high and mighty had been bullied a lot by the Heavenly Essence Sect in the past.
He hoped that the boost in his morale this time would allow Earthly Essence Sect to sweep away the caution brought about by the great meeting, and allow the inscription masters with Earthly Essence Sect to cheer up once more.
After bidding farewell with a smile to Old Master Nie and all the people present, Ye Feng left without a trace. Only, he did not return to his Factotum Tavern, but instead quickly appeared at the place behind the mountain once again …
"..."
The sound of the waterfall could be heard as elemental energy was dense.
The forbidden area at the back of the mountain was rather quiet. It was very suitable for cultivating spirit and mind energy.
Ye Feng skillfully flew past the waterfall and appeared inside the cave. There was less than a month until the convention, so he needed to improve his mental strength control to the greatest extent possible.
Inscription Master Convention was not just a gathering of Upper City Jinhua. Inscription masters from all around would come to display their skills. Heavenly And Earthly Essence Sect was the head of many Upper City Jinhua sects and it had always been held by the two sects. Just with the two sects themselves, there were already many elite figures within the two sects and with the addition of the strange people who had poured in from all over the place, wanting to stand out and stand out was not something that could be done just by shouting slogans.
There were no true sword and spear fights, but the degree of brutality of Inscription Master Convention was still incomparable to other matches.
This is... For a competition between genius inscription masters, the victor would rise to the top in the rest of his life. The loser could only dejectedly leave the stage.
"These people... This is crazy! "
Ye Feng raised his head and took a deep breath, sensing with his sharp senses that the air was mixed with various types of aura made of elemental energy, which was a lot more chaotic than before.
Obviously, the inscription masters from all four sides had rushed to the Upper City Jinhua. These auras, were either emitted by themselves or by the Inscription Material they carried, causing the origin energy tide to become chaotic.
All the high ranking Inscription Master s had been fed large amounts of resources, and the consumption of their Upper City Jinhua in a single day, had far surpassed the income their Lower City earned in just a few months.
Recollecting his mind, Ye Feng straightened his expression. Although he was talented and had mental strength as his base, he started drawing late. Unfortunately, the others weren't weak either. In the next twenty days, they would have to go all out.
"Old man, come out and do your work."
Placing the Phantom Stone in front of him, Ye Feng started to urge his Elemental Spirit secretly.
Elemental Spirit appeared in midair like a ghost in a flash. After sweeping a glance at Ye Feng, he asked: "Since you obtained this thing, then … Do you know why this is called Phantom Stone? "
Ye Feng shook his head in puzzlement. The old fellow had always liked to keep people in suspense, could it be that he would have to tell the story now?
"Within the Phantom Stone, there is a creature called the Charming Insect. It was extremely peculiar; it was as light as a mayfly and looked weak, yet could destroy any kind of Energy of Elemental Strength."
With that, the Elemental Spirit pointed at the black shadow in the green jade. The black shadow was like wind and lightning, seemingly formed from many squirming organisms, flickering non-stop inside.
Ye Feng's curiosity was piqued, but he still did not understand what this had to do with cultivating his mental strength.
"The origin of the Inscription Arts is the usage of Origin Energy to construct mini Magic Formation. The higher the level of the inscriptions, the more complex the materials used will be, and the stronger the Energy of Elemental Strength will be. The Inscription Arts is the Energy of Elemental Strength which uses all sorts of methods to balance this Magic Formation. "
"And an important reason that affects the balance is the impurities in the inscriptions. To use Phantom Stone to cultivate, and to use precise mental energy to control these Charming Insect. After the inscription is complete, and once the impurities are removed, the quality of the inscription will improve by leaps and bounds. "
The Elemental Spirit explained slowly.
"Remove the impurities?"
Ye Feng stared blankly, then said with a puzzled expression: "Isn't the first step of inscription supposed to be the removal of impurities from various materials? Why does it still need to be removed?"
The Elemental Spirit shook his head and said, "For level two or three inscriptions, you can remove any impurities at will. Once you reach level four, the energy contained within the materials will be extremely intense, and removing the impurities will be very difficult. "Even after the inscription is complete, there is a possibility that the impurities will once again interfere with the inscription, causing it to lose its effectiveness."
Ye Feng was secretly speechless.
Unexpectedly … Was there such a thing?
"Therefore, the higher the grade of an inscription, the more one has to be wary of this point. A Inscription Grandmaster of at least the fifth grade, no matter how strong his mental strength is or how high the level of the inscription is, is still unable to completely remove all the impurities in the inscription at the same level. On this point, Charming Insect can perfectly do it on her behalf. "
"Because of this reason, Phantom Stone are so rare."
The Elemental Spirit added.
"But …" This control of spiritual energy … Does it matter? "
Ye Feng asked suspiciously. The problem he was facing now was the need to increase his mental control, not the level of inscription mentioned by the Elemental Spirit.
After all … If he couldn't even inscribe a level two inscription, then what would he have to participate in this great inscription competition?
"Of course it does." The Elemental Spirit glared at him and said, "Do you think that the Charming Insect among the Phantom Stone will listen to any orders and obediently do things for you?"
"Then what are you waiting for? Just say it directly. Just do what you need to do."
Ye Feng became a little impatient. The world of inscriptions was filled with mystery, and every time it happened, it would be able to break his knowledge.
"Alright, this Elemental Spirit is looking forward to it. Let's see if you can do it in a short period of time."
The Elemental Spirit chuckled, then pointed at the Phantom Stone and said: "First step, control your mental strength, and use the shortest amount of time to capture one of the Phantom Stone."
"Alright!"
Before his voice fell, Ye Feng had already made his move. A large amount of green colored mental energy rushed into the Phantom Stone and crazily swept towards the flickering black figure.
Boom!
The Rank 15 Spirit Power radiated a powerful pressure and instantly pounced into the interior of the green jade. The mental fluctuations it released even caused a tempest to appear within the cave.
This was not what Ye Feng had done on purpose.
It was because his psychic power had increased tremendously, and he was temporarily unable to control it.
With a swoosh, the black shadow moved quickly, like a leaf being blown by the wind. Following the influx of spiritual force into all directions, it instantly turned into countless tiny black dots.
These black dots were simply too tiny, causing Ye Feng to widen his eyes. However, the Charming Insect was extremely quick in movement, making it impossible to see clearly.
For the first time, there was no doubt that he had failed.
Ye Feng wrinkled his nose, paused for a moment, then continued to unleash his mental energy, and surrounded it. Still no success.
Third time...
The tenth time...
The hundredth time...
An hour later, just like a deflated ball, Ye Feng slumped down on the ground.
His current movements were completely like catching wind and shadow. Those Charming Insect's movements were as fast as lightning. After moving about hundreds of times, they were not even touched.
