Chapter 22

Just as he opened the jade box, Ye Feng caught a whiff of a refreshing fragrance that permeated his heart. The scent made him feel inexplicably refreshed and comfortable, and the many pressures and frustrations of reality were swept away in an instant. His mind became clear and ethereal, as if he had entered a realm of complete self-forgetfulness.

After a long while, Ye Feng finally came to his senses. He carefully examined the high-quality treasure in the jade box but could not identify what it was.

It looked like a dull gray pebble, or perhaps a slightly larger seed, and upon closer inspection, it resembled a fruit kernel.

Unable to figure it out, Ye Feng turned to the Law for help, and the Law quickly provided him with the correct answer.

"This high-quality human-grade heavenly treasure is called the Yin-Yang Fruit. Although it is a human-grade treasure, its effects are even more powerful than a mid-grade earth-grade treasure. The Yin-Yang Fruit grows in the extreme north of the Tianlong Planet, and it is very difficult to survive. A Yin-Yang Fruit tree takes at least ten thousand years to mature. Once mature, it bears fruit quickly, with the fruits divided into Yin Fruits and Yang Fruits. The Yin Fruits can preserve youth and maintain health, while the Yang Fruits can bring the dead back to life. Compared to the youth-preserving pills and life-restoring pills in the cultivation world, the Yin-Yang Fruit is much more effective. The youth-preserving pills and life-restoring pills require complex procedures to refine, with a low success rate, and a large amount of spiritual herbs is needed. However, the Yin-Yang Fruit does not need to be refined; it can be consumed directly after maturing, and it can remain fresh indefinitely."

Given that Ye Feng's cultivation level was still low, the Law had never mentioned anything about refining pills to him. However, Ye Feng was certain that to refine pills, he needed to reach the third floor of the Nine-Star Tower and advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.

The Law continued to explain to Ye Feng: "The Yin-Yang Fruit was not originally considered a heavenly treasure on Tianlong Planet. However, during a major treasure-hunting conflict among cultivators, the place where the Yin-Yang Fruit grew was destroyed, and all the mature trees withered and died. Only a few seeds were scattered in the cultivation world, one of which happened to fall into the hands of the Immortal Tianyuan."

Only then did Ye Feng realize that the true owner of the Nine-Star Space, the Immortal who was besieged and fell on Tianlong Planet, was named Tianyuan.

"The Yin-Yang Fruit seed that the space owner now possesses has been modified by Immortal Tianyuan with divine power. The space owner can plant it on the open ground outside the Nine-Star Tower. It will grow automatically without any care, sprouting in one night, reaching maturity in half a month, and bearing fruit in one month. Each time it bears fruit, it produces only ten fruits, with five Yin Fruits (red) and five Yang Fruits (green). After maturing, the space will automatically pick the fruits and place them in the second floor of the Nine-Star Tower for easy access. However, after one harvest, it will take another six months in the space to bear fruit again. Therefore, the space owner must remember this and not waste the Yin-Yang Fruits easily."

Hearing the Law's explanation, Ye Feng could not help but admire and marvel at the unimaginable divine abilities of Immortal Tianyuan. The Yin-Yang Fruit tree, which originally took ten thousand years to mature, could now mature and bear fruit in just one month in the Nine-Star Space, which translates to three months in the real world.

However, the waiting time for the second harvest was indeed long, requiring six months in the space, which translates to one and a half years in the real world.

Ye Feng continued to ask: "Law, can you explain the specific effects of the youth-preserving and life-restoring fruits?"

The Law replied: "The youth-preserving effect is gender-neutral. As long as one consumes the Yin Fruit, it will take effect immediately. The youth-preserving effect can keep a person young forever, preventing aging until death. Even if a cultivator is thousands or tens of thousands of years old and already shows signs of aging, consuming the Yin Fruit can make them look much younger. Although it cannot reverse aging, it can fix one's appearance, preventing further aging."

Hearing this, Ye Feng stuck out his tongue. The youth-preserving effect of the Yin Fruit was indeed very powerful. Imagine a young and beautiful woman who remains young and beautiful until death; that would be a truly astonishing and awe-inspiring sight. For the elderly, consuming the Yin Fruit can make them look much younger and prevent further aging, which is also a remarkable effect.

As the owner of the Nine-Star Space, Ye Feng was already amazed and awed by this. He could only imagine how much more astonished the ordinary people in the mundane world would be if they knew about the effects of the Yin-Yang Fruit. He could not even imagine the impact it would have on the world and the changes it would bring to him.

The Law continued: "The life-restoring effect is also gender-neutral. As long as one consumes the Yang Fruit, it will take effect immediately. The life-restoring effect can instantly improve the condition of a person on the brink of death, regardless of the severity of their injuries or the incurable diseases they suffer from. As long as they are not dead, consuming the Yang Fruit will improve their condition. The Law reminds the space owner that the Yang Fruit is only effective for those on the brink of death. It has no effect on healthy individuals. The space owner must remember this."

Ye Feng stuck out his tongue again. The Yang Fruit was even more powerful than the Yin Fruit. The Yin Fruit only preserves youth, and a person can still live a normal life without it, albeit looking older and uglier. Even if they look young, they will still die when their time comes. However, the Yang Fruit is a miraculous drug that can bring the dead back to life. For ordinary people on Earth, what could be more valuable than life?

Truly a high-quality human-grade heavenly treasure. Once it matures and bears fruit, Ye Feng plans to give one Yin Fruit to each of his parents and grandparents. Even if it cannot restore their youth, it will prevent them from aging further. The Yin Fruit can also maintain health, and after his family members consume it, their physical condition will improve, and they will no longer suffer from minor illnesses.

As for himself, it did not matter whether he consumed it or not. With the Nine-Star Space, he would obtain more and better heavenly treasures in the future.

At this moment, as if understanding Ye Feng's thoughts, the Law again prompted him in his mind: "It is recommended that the space owner not give the entire Yin Fruit to ordinary people. One Yin Fruit is enough to preserve the youth of ten ordinary people. Giving the entire Yin Fruit to one person is a waste."

Ye Feng felt "looked down upon" by the Law, but this reminder was timely. Otherwise, he might have really given a fruit that could serve ten people to just one person, which would indeed be a waste.

Five Yin Fruits, each divided into ten parts, would be enough for fifty people to consume.

Following the Law's instructions, Ye Feng carefully took the Yin-Yang Fruit seed and walked outside the Nine-Star Tower. He found a relatively flat and moist spot, dug a small hole, placed the seed in it, and covered it up. There was no need for watering, tending, or exchanging with spirit stones or spirit water.

Next, he just had to wait for it to mature and bear fruit in one month.

After returning to his real body from the Nine-Star Space, Ye Feng was very excited. For a long time, he had never had a good night's sleep, nor had he had the leisure to think about other things. His goal was to cultivate as quickly as possible, gather souls as quickly as possible, clear his name as quickly as possible, and leave the detention center that made him feel oppressed and sad.

That day was coming soon.

It was around five o'clock in the morning in the real world, and everyone in the cell was still asleep. Ye Feng sat up on his bed and looked at Dao Ge, who had moved to the outermost bed. Ye Feng knew that it was time to seek justice for Wang Hailong and make up for the most regretful and guilty thing he had done during his time in the detention center.

Ye Feng wanted to leave the detention center with a clear conscience and with less guilt towards the young orphan who called him "Brother" with a smile.

Ye Feng lay back on his bed, slowly calmed his mind, and began to focus his spirit to sense and gather souls.

To his surprise, his sensing range had increased. As his cultivation and mental state improved, his sensing range for souls had increased from one thousand square meters to two thousand square meters, doubling in size.

What made Ye Feng even more delighted was that his divine sense range had also increased. It had expanded from about twenty square meters to over two hundred square meters, a tenfold increase. Now, Ye Feng could clearly sense the situations in other cells, whether his eyes were open or closed. Everything within two hundred square meters could be clearly perceived in his mind.

This feeling was incredibly wondrous, a supernatural ability that only cultivators in the cultivation world could possess.

Of course, now was not the time for Ye Feng to experience his divine sense. He put aside his杂念, concentrated, and began to sense the souls around him. To his delight, with the expanded sensing range, he could now detect more wandering souls in the detention center or nearby. This was a significant advantage for him, as it meant he could gather more souls each day.

Souls are always unpredictable, appearing here today and possibly gone tomorrow, while souls from other places might occasionally drift here. This was why Ye Feng had been able to gather souls in the detention center for so long.

With less than an hour before the wake-up call, Ye Feng had to gather souls as quickly as possible.

When the alarm rang, Ye Feng had managed to gather ten souls in a short time.

Ye Feng glanced at Dao Ge again, determined that his good days were over from today.
