Chapter 6

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Chenfeng, who had been in a deep meditative state like an old monk, suddenly opened his eyes. With a powerful thrust, his hands, full of strength, struck the smooth rock beneath him, cracking the hard stone.

His body leaped high into the air like a large bird, charging straight up against the cascading waterfall. His fists, filled with a thousand pounds of force, struck the waterfall heavily, forcibly cutting off the water that flowed down like a silver river.

"Finally, I have cultivated the Six Pulse Divine Aura to the first level."

Using the powerful counterforce generated by the waterfall, Ye Chenfeng descended from mid-air and landed beside the waterfall pool.

Feeling the burst of power from his body in that instant, Ye Chenfeng's face was filled with intense joy.

However, to cultivate the Six Pulse Divine Aura to the first level, the Skin Strengthening stage, in a short time, he had exhausted all the broken soul crystals left by Qi Tongtian. To cultivate the Six Pulse Divine Aura to the second level in a short time, he must find a way to buy soul crystals.

But since being expelled from the Ye family, all of Ye Chenfeng's financial sources were cut off. The price of a low-grade soul crystal exceeded ten thousand taels of silver, and Ye Chenfeng had less than twenty taels of silver left. To buy a low-grade soul crystal for cultivation, he must find a way to raise money.

In addition to low-grade soul crystals, Ye Chenfeng also needed to buy some body-strengthening herbs to stimulate his physical potential, and such herbs were undoubtedly even more expensive.

"Perhaps the two legacies can help me out of my current predicament." Ye Chenfeng took a deep breath and decided to spend time integrating the array patterns and medical techniques imprinted deep in his mind.

Ye Chenfeng simply stretched his body, ate some dry rations, and adjusted his state to the best before beginning to integrate the profound and difficult memory fragments.

Although Ye Chenfeng was unfamiliar with the two memory fragments, since he had integrated the God Devouring Brain, his comprehension had reached an incredible level.

In about two days, Ye Chenfeng successively integrated the medical techniques and array patterns.

"What profound legacies. The medical techniques and array patterns in the God Devouring Brain are absolutely incomparable to those of the Purple Gold Kingdom. Perhaps only the legacies of the sects can study medical techniques and array patterns to such a divine level." With bloodshot eyes and a splitting headache, Ye Chenfeng deeply appreciated the profundity of the two legacies, his face filled with intense joy.

However, the array pattern legacy was vast and profound. To fully master the array patterns, Ye Chenfeng must practice from the basics, but the practice process was no different from burning money.

While the medical legacy could earn money, he had no time to open a medical clinic to earn money. Therefore, at this stage, only the creation of array talismans could solve his urgent needs in the shortest time.

"Hmm, I'll try to create this attack array talisman, the Golden Needle Talisman."

After some thought, Ye Chenfeng chose the Golden Needle Talisman, which was the easiest to create among the legacy memories. However, even though the Golden Needle Talisman was the simplest, the materials needed for its creation were still extremely precious.

"Fierce beast blood, Heavenly Star Sand, supreme cinnabar, yellow jade talisman paper... sigh!"

Thinking of the materials needed to refine the Golden Needle Talisman, Ye Chenfeng's enthusiasm was instantly replaced by frustration. With the twenty taels of silver he had, he probably couldn't even afford the cheapest yellow jade talisman paper.

"Who can I borrow money from?" Ye Chenfeng was troubled.

Since his soul beast awakening failed and he was expelled from the Ye family, Ye Chenfeng's friends had gradually decreased, and in the end, he had no friends left, and no one was willing to lend him money.

"Ye Ziling, it seems I can only borrow money from her."

After some thought, Ye Chenfeng could only think of one person, but he was unsure if Ye Ziling would lend him a large sum of money.

"Fine, I'll try first. If it doesn't work, I'll think of other ways."

Ye Chenfeng sighed helplessly, ate some dry rations, and left the secluded mountain valley where he had been cultivating for many days, returning to White Emperor City.

To avoid being discovered by Qi Tongtian's enemies and having any accidents, Ye Chenfeng did not return to his original home but went directly to the small courtyard where Ye Ziling lived in the White Emperor Martial Mansion.

"Why are you here? Do you have something to ask me?"

Ye Ziling, who was cultivating in her room, got out of bed and opened the door. When she saw Ye Chenfeng standing outside, she was taken aback and said in a calm voice.

"I want to borrow some money from you."

Looking at Ye Ziling, who was wearing a thin silk dress, tall and slender with strong, round legs, and exuding youthful vitality, Ye Chenfeng spoke straightforwardly.

"Borrow money?" Ye Ziling's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"

"Thirty thousand taels of silver."

"Thirty thousand taels of silver, what do you need so much money for?" Ye Ziling, surprised by the amount, asked coldly.

"For cultivation." Ye Chenfeng replied calmly, "I will pay you back in a month at the latest."

"Hmm..."

"These thirty thousand taels of silver, I will give you, and you don't have to pay me back." Ye Ziling looked at Ye Chenfeng with a burning gaze, thinking of the time they grew up together, and agreed.

"However, Ye Chenfeng, this is the last time I will give you money. I hope you won't bother me again in the future."

"Alright!"

Ye Chenfeng gave a self-deprecating smile and agreed immediately. However, in the future, once he earned enough money, he would still pay Ye Ziling back. After all, he didn't want to owe her anything, nor did he want to owe the Ye family.

Having successfully borrowed thirty thousand taels of silver from Ye Ziling, Ye Chenfeng left without any hesitation.

"Ye Chenfeng, we are no longer in the same world. I hope you take care of yourself."

Watching Ye Chenfeng's departing back, Ye Ziling muttered to herself, but she didn't know that Ye Chenfeng had already undergone a remarkable transformation, and indeed, they were no longer in the same world.

With thirty thousand taels of silver, Ye Chenfeng left the White Emperor Martial Mansion and went to the largest shop in White Emperor City, the White Cloud Shop. He spent nearly twenty-eight thousand taels of silver to buy nine sets of materials for refining the Golden Needle Talisman, a set of silver needles, and a thin, cicada-wing-like human skin mask.

Ye Chenfeng bought the human skin mask to avoid exposing the Soul Devouring Brain legacy, in case of emergencies.

He bought the silver needles because the medical legacy included a profound needle technique called the Heavenly Profound Needle.

According to the legacy memory, the Heavenly Profound Needle required the use of soul power, stimulating acupoints to cleanse the meridians and heal internal injuries.

After purchasing the necessary items, Ye Chenfeng spent another hundred taels of silver to rent a small courtyard surrounded by yellow earth in the eastern suburbs of White Emperor City as a temporary residence.

"Expensive, the materials for refining the Golden Needle Talisman are too expensive, especially the fierce beast blood, each small bottle costs a thousand taels of silver. This is just robbing people!"

Ye Chenfeng quickly tidied up the dusty room, placing a large bundle on a table with peeling paint. Looking at the nine bottles of precious fierce beast blood, he sighed.

Dividing the purchased materials into nine portions, Ye Chenfeng did not blindly refine the Golden Needle Talisman. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed, repeatedly visualizing the process of refining the Golden Needle Talisman in his mind.

After all, each of the nine sets of materials was worth more than three thousand taels of silver. If all of them failed, he would lose everything.

After about two and a half hours, Ye Chenfeng felt the time was right and began to refine his first array talisman in his life—the Golden Needle Talisman.
