But this price was truly too high for Ye Feng.
"What I need most right now is spirit stones! No matter what, what I need to do now is improve my cultivation." Ye Feng let out a long sigh, and after tidying up his spirit field, he continued to cultivate.
......
The next moment, the scene shifted to the Qingyun Sect.
At this time, inside the sect's main hall, Li Mu, the head of the Disciplinary Hall, was reporting the recent situation to the sect leader.
Sect Leader Zhang Daoran suddenly asked, "How has Ye Feng been doing during this time?"
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, Ye Feng was expelled back then and has been wandering in the southern Market Town. He is now a Tenant Farmer for the Chen family."
"A Tenant Farmer for the Chen family? Hehehe! A once peerless genius has ended up like this, it's truly lamentable."
Li Mu looked at Zhang Daoran, inwardly cursing that Ye Feng's current predicament was all his fault.
But Li Mu could only think it. On the surface, he agreed, saying, "Ye Feng killed his fellow disciples; he deserved to die."
"Hmm, if he loves being a Tenant Farmer so much, let him be a Tenant Farmer for his entire life. Has Senior Sister Luo shown any unusual behavior?"
Li Mu, sensing the strangeness in the Sect Leader's words, replied, "Elder Luo has been in seclusion during this period and has not gone out."
"Good, good!"
......
Time flew by.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Ye Feng was cultivating in his thatched cottage. His cultivation was at level five, only one step away from level six.
And his Azure Wood Incantation was also not far from the next power boost.
As the spiritual energy circulated, four prompts appeared below his proficiency.
[Your cultivation experience has accumulated to 200 points. You have broken through to level six.]
[Your Azure Wood Incantation proficiency: 400 points. Skill proficiency has been upgraded from Perfect to Perfect.]
Then, the concentration and amount of spiritual energy in his body increased again.
The growth of his realm gave Ye Feng a feeling that was both familiar and somewhat strange.
It was familiar because he was originally in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and now recovering to the sixth level of the Qi Condensation Stage felt like a long-lost sensation.
It was unfamiliar because the quantity and concentration of spiritual energy in his body had undergone earth-shattering changes.
If his spiritual energy concentration and quality were both one, then his current spiritual energy had reached three. It was more than three times stronger than before.
This change puzzled him. He wasn't very clear about it when he was at the second level of Qi Condensation, but at the sixth level, he could feel it clearly.
It seemed that the strength he gained from the "proficient" interface far surpassed ordinary cultivation.
At the same time, the method for creating the "Azure Wood Incantation" appeared in his mind, as if he had created it himself.
This cultivation method could be used from Qi Condensation all the way to Nascent Soul. The memories in Ye Feng's mind grew, and his understanding of this cultivation method became increasingly clear.
Seconds later, Ye Feng's eyes flew open, and a wisp of golden light flashed through his pupils.
"So this is how the Azure Wood Incantation was created."
With a thought from Ye Feng, the skill level interface appeared before his eyes.
[Promoter: Ye Feng]
[Age: 20/100]
[Realm: Sixth Grade]
[Skills: Azure Wood Incantation (Perfect 0/1000), Longevity Formula]
[Magic: Vine Wood Art (Level 200), Spirit Rain Spell (Level 150), Fireball Spell (Beginner 0/100), Golden Armor Spell (Beginner 0/100)]
[Hundred Arts of Cultivation · Spirit Planter Master (Level 45/2)]
"Huh? Wasn't the Azure Wood Incantation already at the perfect level? How can it still get stronger?"
"Doesn't that mean there's a higher level beyond flawless?"
He had never considered this possibility before, and this conjecture surprised him.
Ye Feng was completely bewildered, not knowing what to do.
In addition, the perfect quality Azure Wood Incantation had also increased to a thousand!
This meant that to advance one level, at least 1000 Azure Wood Incantations were needed.
With this in mind, Ye Feng did not hesitate and immediately activated the "Azure Wood Incantation."
He wanted to test how long it would take to complete a full cycle with the perfect-level Azure Wood Incantation.
As time passed, after more than ten minutes, Ye Feng suddenly opened his eyes, excitement gleaming in them.
[You used 'Azure Wood Art', level increased by 1.]
[You leveled up once and gained 1 experience point.]
Ye Feng looked at the changing data on the screen, a look of pleasant surprise on his face.
It only took ten minutes to complete a cycle with the perfect-level Azure Wood Incantation, which was a full half hour faster than cultivating the Azure Wood Incantation to the Great Accomplishment realm.
The speed was so fast that it surpassed his previous state as someone with top-tier spiritual roots.
"Damn it! I'm going to fly!"
The proficiency of the Azure Wood Incantation, which had reached 1000, was now compressed into only a few cycles of the original duration.
He was gaining over a hundred experience points daily. In less than ten days, his Azure Wood Incantation could be improved again.
And during this period, just reducing the time further would make his cultivation increase even faster.
In just two more days, his cultivation could advance further.
This kind of progress was truly terrifying.
If the people of the Qingyun Sect knew about Su Mo's current progress, they would definitely regret their decision.
If his Master, Luo Qing, knew, she would probably regret it to death, right?
But Ye Feng didn't want them to change their minds; what he wanted was to kill all these hypocritical people.
Just then, Ye Feng suddenly felt his stomach growl. He got up and went to the kitchen to cook a pot of spirit rice.
He had already eaten all the spirit demon flesh and blood that Li Yang had given him before. Eating spirit rice every day was truly uncomfortable.
"Should I hunt some?"
The spirit field they were in was to the southeast of the Market Town. Continuing south led to the Myriad Demon Forest.
The forest was home to all sorts of wild animals, including great demons whose strength was equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
With Ye Feng's current realm, he could only venture into the fringes of the Myriad Demon Forest.
No sooner said than done.
After a satisfying meal, Ye Feng sprinted south.
It took Ye Feng half an hour to reach the edge of the Myriad Demon Forest.
He looked around and noticed a misty area to his left, indicating the presence of water.
Ye Feng stepped to the left, and his gaze fell upon a lake about a hundred zhang in circumference.
In the center of the lake was a dark purple expanse, and the bottom was nowhere in sight.
Occasionally, splashes would erupt as spirit fish swam in the water.
"There are fish!" someone exclaimed.
Ye Feng looked at the spirit fish, which were only about the size of his palm, his face showing joy.
Now, the spirit rice he had planted was also close to ripening, about to bear ears of grain.
