Chapter 61

After encountering those four strange people who exuded coldness and stench, and after a fierce battle with them, Ye Feng felt even more acutely that his cultivation was far from sufficient. Without the help of the invisibility technique, he could hardly imagine what the consequences would have been.

Therefore, enhancing his cultivation became the most urgent matter for Ye Feng at the moment.

Entering the Nine Stars Space again, he inhaled the refreshing scent and looked around at the thick mist that enveloped him, making him feel as if he were in a fairyland. His heart gradually became hot with excitement.

With a shift of his mind, he arrived before the pagoda, easily climbed to the second floor, and sat on the high platform. Through his consciousness, Ye Feng connected with the Law and requested to exchange four values to elevate his cultivation to the mid-stage of the Qi Condensation and Spirit Cultivation realm.

Although Ye Feng's soul points were not many, his evil points and virtue points were plentiful. Killing the four ghost slaves earned him 9,000 evil points, making it the highest value among the four. Additionally, he had continuously gained virtue points from Gu Nian and her niece Xiaorou, accumulating 5,809 points.

The only value he had not yet gained was charm points.

To elevate his cultivation to the mid-stage of the Qi Condensation and Spirit Cultivation realm, 9,000 soul points or 900 points of the other three values were required. Ye Feng's soul points were far from enough, but his virtue points and evil points were more than sufficient.

Without hesitation, Ye Feng directly exchanged 900 evil points to begin the cultivation enhancement. He soon entered the wondrous space.

As if he had experienced a grand dream, 10 minutes later (30 minutes in reality), Ye Feng emerged from the special cultivation space in the Nine Stars Space.

Although it was only 10 minutes, to Ye Feng, it felt like several months or even a year had passed.

His cultivation had reached the peak of the Qi Condensation realm, and Ye Feng could clearly feel that his internal energy was more abundant, his mental strength more robust, and his divine sense more powerful. Most importantly, after reaching the peak of the mid-stage, the Law immediately informed him that his cultivation speed could double during normal practice.

This news excited Ye Feng. He was well aware of how slow normal cultivation was, and now being able to double the speed was undoubtedly like adding a booster to his future cultivation.

Of course, what Ye Feng was most excited and eager about was the cultivation techniques, spells, and heavenly treasures in the middle shelf of the Spirit Gathering Cabinet on the second floor of the pagoda.

Even at the initial stage, he had obtained such powerful cultivation techniques and heavenly treasures. Now, at the peak of the mid-stage, what extraordinary cultivation techniques and heavenly treasures could he obtain?

Ye Feng was full of anticipation.

Just as he was about to step down from the high platform, the Law suddenly prompted in his consciousness: "Space owner, based on your current four values, the Law suggests that you continue to enhance your cultivation. After reaching the peak of the Qi Condensation realm, you can then extract the cultivation techniques and heavenly treasures from the Spirit Gathering Cabinet."

Ye Feng was surprised and asked, "Why? Can't I extract them first and then enhance my cultivation?"

"Of course, you can. This is just a suggestion. The final decision is up to you. If you decide to enhance your cultivation to the peak of the Qi Condensation realm before extracting the items from the Spirit Gathering Cabinet, you will receive an unexpected surprise. If you decide to extract them now, there will be no surprise."

Hmm! There's an unexpected surprise. Although he grumbled about the Law's habit of using many words to express a simple idea, it did not stop Ye Feng from making the best choice immediately. He decided to continue enhancing his cultivation to the peak of the Qi Condensation realm.

Sitting back on the high platform, he connected with the Law through his consciousness and exchanged another 2,700 evil points for the enhancement.

10 minutes later, he emerged from the wondrous cultivation space again, taking a deep breath. Although he knew that only 10 minutes had truly passed, the feeling in the cultivation space was like he had spent over two years.

And this seemingly long feeling did not make him feel bored or tedious at all.

This strange and wondrous feeling was indescribable. He was very impressed by Tianyuan Zhenxian, even to the point of admiration. The great powers of the immortals were truly boundless.

After enhancing his cultivation to the peak of the Qi Condensation realm, the most significant change was that his internal energy showed signs of liquefaction. Ye Feng felt that his internal energy had reached a bottleneck. Once he broke through this bottleneck, he might truly possess the true essence that cultivators in the cultivation world dreamt of. With true essence, he would truly cross the threshold from an ordinary person to a cultivator.

At the same time, the Law in Ye Feng's consciousness sounded three "ding" prompts.

The first prompt: "Congratulations, space owner, for completing the second stage of the Qi Condensation and Spirit Cultivation realm. You can now step onto the third floor of the Nine Stars Tower and enter the initial stage of the Foundation Establishment and Alchemy realm. Please continue to work hard and soon reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment and Alchemy realm."

The second prompt: "Congratulations, space owner, for advancing two levels. The Law decides to give you an additional reward. The remaining two Spirit Gathering Cabinets on the second floor of the pagoda will be merged. Merging... Merge complete."

The third prompt: "Congratulations, space owner, for completing the enhancement of two stages. The Law will upgrade the space for the first time. Upgrading... Upgrade complete."

The first prompt was quick, the second took 10 minutes, and the third took half an hour.

Additionally, the first two prompts were somewhat expected by Ye Feng, so he felt very surprised. However, the third prompt not only surprised him but also amazed him.

He never imagined that the Nine Stars Space could be upgraded.

As Ye Feng subconsciously used his divine sense to explore the space, he found that the entire space seemed to have expanded significantly. The thick mist that had previously enveloped the area had completely disappeared, and the landscape was now lush and vibrant, resembling a small, colorful world of fertile fields.

Unable to thoroughly investigate the changes in the space at the moment, he suppressed his excitement, curiosity, and eagerness, leaped down from the high platform, and hurriedly approached the Spirit Gathering Cabinet.

After the Law merged the cabinets, the middle shelf corresponding to the mid-stage of the Qi Condensation realm was empty. Ye Feng thought that the shelf corresponding to the peak of the Qi Condensation realm would have more items, but upon inspection, he was dumbfounded. The three layers of the shelf still contained one book and one jade box each, with no additional items.

Ye Feng immediately asked the Law, "Law, what's going on? Didn't you say you merged the two cabinets? Why are there still only six items in the three layers, not twelve?"

The Law replied, "The number has not increased, but the cultivation techniques and spells have all been upgraded by one level. The heavenly treasures in the two jade boxes have been upgraded to the upper grade of the human level, and the heavenly treasure in the top jade box has been upgraded to the lower grade of the earth level. Is the space owner not satisfied?"

Ye Feng was taken aback and exclaimed, "Satisfied, of course, I am satisfied."

Ye Feng knew how to calculate. Although the number was indeed less, the cultivation techniques and spells were upgraded by one level, and the heavenly treasures were of the upper grade of the human level, with one even reaching the lower grade of the earth level. No matter how he calculated it, it was a gain.

Suppressing his excitement, Ye Feng's hand, trembling with excitement, reached for the lowest layer of the shelf and first took out the cultivation technique.

Indeed, the cultivation technique in the lowest layer was the ultimate version of the Star Cloud Step and the Qi Control Technique. Although his current cultivation was not sufficient to fully unleash its power, learning the ultimate version still significantly enhanced his strength.

Without hesitation, Ye Feng immediately entered the cultivation space and learned the ultimate version of the Star Cloud Step and the Qi Control Technique. Various insights flooded his mind, and he practiced the techniques on the various illusory enemies in the cultivation space dozens of times, feeling extremely proficient and exhilarated.

After emerging from the cultivation space, it took Ye Feng a while to calm down from the excitement. Perhaps due to the space upgrade, the cultivation space could now create illusory enemies and various harsh environments to aid his cultivation, making it far more efficient than before.

Next, Ye Feng took out the jade box from the lower layer of the shelf and slowly opened it. Before he could see what was inside, he was greeted by a rich, refreshing aroma that instantly put his mind and body into a state of extreme comfort and relaxation.

This state lasted for about three minutes before Ye Feng gradually regained his senses.

However, when he looked down at the jade box again, he was surprised to find that the jade box, which should have contained an upper-grade human-level heavenly treasure, was empty. [Please support this book by adding it to your collection and voting. Thank you!]
