Holding Xue Nu's Spear, Ji Feng suddenly heard the system's voice in his mind.
The Live Streaming System, which had been silent for so long, finally spoke up again. A new mission had arrived.
"The imitation Xue Nu's Spear has been collected. Mission triggered: Heart of the Mogu."
"Mission requirement: Form the Xue Nu Celestial Army."
"Mission description: Thousands of years ago, the Celestial sect possessed a powerful guardian legion. With the rise of the Mogu, the Celestial Army completely vanished into the river of history. Please form the Xue Nu Celestial Army, rescue the August Celestials, time limit: 60 days."
"Reward: One Season Card fragment, usable for upgrades. Reward: Revered reputation with the August Celestials."
"Detected that the host has unlocked the reputation system. Achievement reward +10."
After defeating Sage Feili, Ji Feng had earned everyone's support and satisfied the viewers' expectations. Now, the system's benefits came pouring in. This mission was a huge "perk" for him.
Earlier, he had accepted the Epic Quest, "Audience with the White Tiger Celestial, First Chapter." He had already planned to rescue the White Tiger Celestial, and now the system had given him a similar mission. If that was not a perk, what was?
Not to mention that Ji Feng was now level 61. One Season Card could raise him by three levels.
"Master Ji..."
"Ji."
As Ji Feng pondered, Li Luo, Kang, the four Sages, and Ji Feng's disciples all came to his side. Hearing their calls, he snapped back to reality.
"Li Luo, Kang..."
"Sage Yan, Sage Xuehua, Sage Jingji, Sage Qianmo, there's no need to worry. I'm fine."
Ji Feng nodded, a smile appearing on his face. And not just him—everyone was smiling.
"Brother Feng actually looks a little like a Sage now. I thought Xue Nu's Spear looked pretty lame before, but once Brother Feng picked it up, it suddenly looked much better."
"I really want to show off alongside Brother Feng! I want to transmigrate to Azeroth and take a look. I want to experience what it feels like to be worshipped by so many people!"
"You young folks are too naive. Brother Feng may be smiling happily now, but who knows what will happen later? Don't forget, Sage Feili isn't dead yet. Once he wakes up, they might have to fight again..."
"I think they'll fight again too. Sage Feili definitely won't let this go so easily..."
Ji Feng savored the taste of victory, while the viewers remained as enthusiastic as ever, still watching the stream. Some of them had already guessed what was about to happen.
Sage Feili had been carried outside the grounds by his two disciples. He was leaning against a bluestone, still unconscious. His disciples were trying to wake him, and one of them even took out several potions and carefully fed them to Sage Feili.
The potions had been made by an alchemy master from Feili Village. Not long after taking them, Sage Feili woke up.
"Hiss... My head hurts so much. Xue Nu's Spear, where is my Xue Nu's Spear?"
The first thing Sage Feili thought of upon waking was Xue Nu's Spear. To a Sage, a Celestial Weapon was no different from life itself.
"Sage, you're awake! That's wonderful."
Seeing him awaken, Sage Feili's two disciples hurriedly supported him.
"Where is my Xue Nu's Spear?"
Leaning against a bluestone, Sage Feili asked again.
"Sage, Xue Nu's Spear is in Ji Shadowwind's hands. Xue Nu's Spear is the Celestial token of our Feili Village. Are we really going to lend it to Ji Shadowwind?" one of Sage Feili's disciples replied.
"I never thought I would lose. Otherwise, I would never have agreed to lend Xue Nu's Spear to Ji Shadowwind. It is the symbol of a Sage. If the people of the village find out that I used Xue Nu's Spear as a wager and lost, I fear I'll be expelled from the clan. We can't give it to him. No matter what, I must take Xue Nu's Spear back... Cough, cough..." Sage Feili coughed violently.
"But..."
"No buts. Help me up. Help me get in front of Ji Shadowwind..." Sage Feili panted heavily, then snapped.
Seeing this, the two could only help him to his feet.
"Ji, was that Ancestral Martial Arts you used just now? The power in your fists and kicks felt like that of a gray-skinned Mushan Beast. How could you possess such strength?"
"Big Brother, what exactly is Ancestral Power? This power feels incredibly familiar to me, yet incredibly strange."
As Sage Feili climbed to his feet, Ji Feng was explaining the mysterious "Ancestral Power" to everyone. To put it bluntly, it was the path of qi that the Pandaren had yet to master.
"When you calm your mind and focus, when everyone breathes and regulates their energy, you may feel a ball of qi in your stomach. That is the power passed down by the ancestors. Comprehend that qi, and your fists and kicks will become incomparably solid, capable of shattering anything..."
Ji Feng explained.
"I've felt that qi before, but it couldn't move at all and disappeared quickly. Master Ji, how can we use that qi?"
"So that qi is Ancestral Power. I've felt Ancestral Power before too, but it was too weak. It could only make me feel a little warmer in winter."
Everyone spoke up in turn.
"If you want to draw upon Ancestral Power, you must undergo training. I'll tell everyone the training methods later... When we drink Qi Wine or Mana Tea, we'll sense Ancestral Power more quickly. Green tea leaves, rain poppy, silkweed, snow lily, and golden lotus can all be used to make Qi Wine and Mana Tea."
Brewmasters, Mistweavers, Windwalkers—monks and tea, wine, were inseparable. Tiger Eye Brew, Serene Brew, and Mana Tea were originally monk talents in the game.
"Ji, you truly are an extraordinary person. On behalf of Whispering Cloud Village, I offer our most sincere respect..."
"In the name of Qianmo Village's Sage, I offer Qianmo Village's respect..."
Whether Sages or villagers from Whispering Cloud Village, everyone had been won over by Ji Feng's magnanimity and bearing.
"Brothers and sisters in the stream, I really pulled out all the stops for today's broadcast. It's not too much to ask for some gifts now, right? By the way, the points in the stream have already accumulated to 120 million. Viewers, let's go all out this week! How about we directly raise the stream to level 6..."
While speaking with the Pandaren Sages, Ji Feng also brought up upgrading the stream with his viewers.
Every time the stream upgraded, he could not broadcast. The higher the upgrade level, the longer the maintenance time required, so he had been holding back from upgrading it.
The stream could also skip levels when upgrading. It was currently level 3, and he could raise it directly to level 6. The maintenance time would only be calculated based on upgrading to level 6, greatly shortening the maintenance period. This was the upgrade method he wanted to choose.
Level 1 to level 2: 1 million points.
Level 2 to level 3: 10 million points.
Level 3 to level 4: 30 million points.
Level 4 to level 5: 50 million points.
Level 5 to level 6: 90 million points.
The stream was currently level 3. Upgrading to level 6 required 170 million points, while Ji Feng's stream had accumulated 120 million points. He still needed 50 million more points, which was no small amount.
At Ji Feng's request, the viewers generously sent him a wave of gifts. However, those gifts still did not reach 50 million.
"Shiitake Sadness sent the streamer Campus Belle *2. Such a talented gentleman deserves this reward..."
"I Want to Buy a King Account in Elementary School Alliance to Show Off sent the streamer one Big Airplane..."
"gz Ip Man tipped the streamer one Big Sword, supporting Brother Feng..."
"Diving Actor sent 1,000 consecutive Bean Buns."
After a wave of support from the viewers, the number in the upper-right corner of Ji Feng's stream rose to 130 million. There was still a gap before it could jump directly to level 6. Clearly, this broadcast had only earned a little over 10 million points.
Ji Feng sighed deeply and could not say much more.
"175th Division, 17th Regiment Commander, sent Big Airplane *10. All officers and soldiers of the 17th Regiment offer their highest respect to warriors who pursue freedom. Old soldiers never die; the soldier's spirit lives on." Just as Ji Feng was preparing to exit the stream, ten red-highlighted messages suddenly appeared.
Storm Live required real identity information for registration, and beneath those ten red-highlighted messages, an imposing avatar appeared.
The system assigned different default avatars according to the host's age. Perhaps due to the designers' sense of humor, young people received young avatars. If the registrant was particularly old, the system would additionally display a number above the avatar. At this moment, an astonishing number was clearly displayed above the avatar of the wealthy viewer who had gifted ten airplanes.
"90."
This wealthy viewer was actually ninety years old.
Large donations on Storm Live were extremely troublesome. A gift of ten Big Airplanes was definitely a large transaction. Under normal circumstances, dedicated premium customer service would personally call to confirm it. In other words, the wealthy viewer who had made this donation truly was ninety years old.
