Chapter 85

As soon as Ye Feng entered the Nine Stars Space, he adjusted the time ratio back to 1:3, allowing him to stay in the space with peace of mind for a while.

He first went to check on the spirit herb garden, picked up two buckets of water, and carefully watered the four types of spirit herbs that were already growing well with the water from the Spirit Lake.

During this time, Ye Feng, in a moment of inspiration, took two sips of the Spirit Lake water. He found it refreshingly sweet, soothing to the heart, and incredibly refreshing as it went down his throat, leaving a lasting aftertaste.

The water from the Spirit Lake was indeed extraordinary. Such water would probably not be easily accessible to everyone in the cultivation world. This was one of the benefits bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Yuan True Immortal, unique to him.

At this moment, a sudden inspiration struck Ye Feng. He thought that perhaps he could bring the water from the Spirit Lake into the real world and combine it with Wu Xinghua's water company. Since Wu Xinghua was planning to launch her own brand of purified water, what water in the real world could compare to the water from the Spirit Lake?

This idea ran through Ye Feng's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. However, how to operate and reasonably allocate the proportion of the Spirit Lake water still needed careful consideration.

This, he thought, was not something to rush. He could seek help from Gu Nian later. With Gu Nian's experience and influence in the business world, she might come up with a good and reasonable method.

After that, he went to the front of the Nine Stars Tower and saw the Yin-Yang Fruit, which would soon be ripe. Ye Feng's mood brightened. Although the grade of the Yin-Yang Fruit might not match the lower-grade Earth-grade spirit root, its importance and practicality were significant. With the Yin-Yang Fruit, it was like having a chance to snatch life back from the hands of death.

Especially for his family and friends, it was an absolute life-saving treasure.

Entering the Nine Stars Tower, he came to the stairs leading from the second floor to the third floor. Ye Feng first checked his current four values: the soul value had not changed due to recent lack of collection, still at over a thousand; the merit value had accumulated to over four thousand; the evil value was now the largest, at 21,400 points; and the charm value was 400.

According to the rules, it was not difficult for Ye Feng to deduce that after reaching the third floor, the improvement of his cultivation would still have two methods. One was the normal gradual cultivation, which was very slow. Even if he exchanged 10% of the progress with the four values, the exchange rate would increase tenfold. For example, at the peak of the second stage, exchanging 10% of the progress would require 10,000 soul points or 1,000 points of the other three values. At the initial stage of the third stage, this amount would become 100,000 soul points or 10,000 points of the other three values, and it would increase tenfold in the middle and peak stages.

Therefore, Ye Feng completely abandoned the idea of normal cultivation to improve his cultivation.

Now, the only most suitable and cost-effective method to improve his cultivation was a one-time enhancement.

According to the rules, after stepping onto the third floor, if Ye Feng wanted to instantly enhance his cultivation to the peak of the initial stage of the Foundation Establishment and Alchemy, he would need 81,000 soul points or 8,100 points of the other three values. This amount, which Ye Feng once found extremely terrifying, now did not seem so high. By killing several ghost slaves, he had accumulated 21,400 evil points, which made him suddenly realize that killing and plundering was indeed the best shortcut for cultivators to improve their cultivation. Killing several ghost slaves had yielded so many evil points; what if he killed more? The amount of harvest would be enormous.

The cruelty of the cultivation world might be inseparable from this.

With his current four values, it was not a problem to instantly enhance his cultivation to the peak of the initial stage of the Foundation Establishment and Alchemy. However, this was not the best time to improve his cultivation. There were still many things in the real world that needed to be handled. After dealing with them, he could calmly improve his cultivation.

For example, Ye Feng was very clear that the Mingzhu police would try every means to find him and Qin Yan. Before this matter was properly handled, he did not want to instantly enhance his cultivation. As for how to handle it, Ye Feng had some ideas. His only principle in dealing with this matter was "I know nothing."

No matter how the police questioned him, he would use these four words to dismiss them.

With this in mind, Ye Feng did not linger in the Nine Stars Tower. Before leaving the space, he adjusted the time ratio back to 3:1, and put the Heavenly Eye Mirror from the spirit gathering cabinet into his storage ring, bringing it into the real world. The Heavenly Eye Mirror would be useful to him in the coming period. Carrying it with him would allow him to investigate details he might have overlooked in the events he experienced. After he instantly enhanced his cultivation to the peak of the initial stage of the Foundation Establishment and Alchemy, his divine sense would cover an area of over 20,000 square meters, and the effectiveness of the Heavenly Eye Mirror would be even more evident.

Back in the real world, the sky was already slightly bright. Lying in bed, Ye Feng recalled the scene that happened in the bathroom when he was half-drunk and half-awake in the middle of the night. His heart became hot again. In the semi-drunk and semi-awake state, the emotions were vivid in his heart. Whether it was her drunken impulse, a casual act, or her true feelings, the scene in the bathroom had deeply rooted in his heart, and he would never forget it.

He waited until the sky was fully bright and heard that Wu Xinghua and Qin Yan had already gotten up before he left the bedroom.

When he went to the bathroom, he happened to meet Wu Xinghua coming out of the bathroom. Their eyes met, and the suppressed emotions in their eyes were palpable. Especially Wu Xinghua, this woman who prided herself on being as bold as a man, was completely flustered. After the bold and out-of-character actions she took under the influence of alcohol last night, she could not sleep for the rest of the night. It was not until the alcohol completely dissipated that she recalled the scenes of her unrestrained behavior in the bathroom, especially the coolness she felt in a certain place and the indescribable taste, which made her suddenly realize how absurd her actions were.

Therefore, when she got up this morning, seeing the clueless Qin Yan and looking at the door of Ye Feng's bedroom, imagining the awkward and embarrassing situation she would face when she met Ye Feng today, she had a strong urge to leave home and avoid Ye Feng.

Although she eventually encouraged herself to treat last night's events as a dream and just say "Hey, good morning" to Ye Feng, when she truly faced him at the bathroom door, her rapidly beating heart and burning cheeks made her instantly forget to say "Hey, good morning."

The two looked at each other, both wanting to avert their eyes, but as if glued together by a strong adhesive, their gazes remained intertwined.

Finally, Qin Yan, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen and broke the awkwardness between them.

"Breakfast is ready, Xinghua, Ye Feng, come and try the breakfast I cooked myself. You two are in for a treat; I haven't cooked breakfast myself in a long time."

Ye Feng responded with an "Oh," lowered his head to pass by Wu Xinghua, and said loudly, "Sure, you two eat first. I'll go wash up and then come out to eat."

Wu Xinghua also deliberately said loudly, "Sure, I haven't had your breakfast in a long time, Xinghua. What a treat today."

As they passed each other, their eyes met again, and the emotions and worries in their hearts were evident.
