Chapter Twenty: The Easy Way of Cultivating Truth

  Three years is a long time, four layers seem to be a bit slow, but in fact it's not. E3 cultivation path is endless, extremely difficult, even with good qualifications, it's impossible to achieve overnight, still need one's own persistence.

  Especially after building a foundation, every step up requires a lot of time, effort, perseverance and opportunity.

  As for Wang Fei's breakthrough from the first layer to the second layer last time, it was a special case. Firstly, Wang Fei himself was about to break through to the second layer of Lingyuan, but his talent was poor and he was stuck. Secondly, Wang Fei used a large amount of spiritual crystals during his cultivation, which allowed him to advance quickly. Most importantly, advancing from the first layer of Lingyuan to the second layer is fundamentally different from advancing from the fourth layer to the fifth layer.

  The former is not much different, and it only takes a slight condensation of spiritual energy to achieve, while the latter is a watershed in the path of cultivation.

  From the early stage of Ling Yu to the middle stage, there is a clear change, that is, divine consciousness.

  What is meant by spiritual consciousness is that one does not need to look with the eyes, but only needs to respond with the mind and spirit to know what is happening around them. In other words, it means that the five senses are enhanced.

  Of course, this is under the condition of no magical interference.

  That is to say, Wang Fei didn't need to open his eyes to perceive everything in the alchemy room.

  With divine consciousness, going out to handle affairs is much safer afterwards.

  Clasping his fists tightly, Wang Fei closed his eyes and mobilized his spiritual energy, releasing his divine consciousness.

  Wang Fei had just gained spiritual awareness and was still not very proficient in using it. The range of his perception was only about ten zhang (a unit of length) around him.

  The mind relaxed, everything in the Dan room was clear as eyes. In the corner, a spider spat out long silk threads and wove a net; diagonally above, a crawling insect drilled into an insect hole, outside the window, even a butterfly flew by...

  Apart from opening up his divine sense, in these three years, Wang Fei also learned how to use Laser Techniques and Ice Crystal Techniques.

  The Thunderbolt Technique, a technique that can unleash thunderfire and thunder explosions. In theory, it can be cultivated at the second layer of Spiritual Overflow, but since it requires a large amount of spiritual energy as a backing, most cultivators only start practicing it during the middle period of Spiritual Overflow. Wang Fei was no exception.

  As for Ice Crystal Magic, it's even more mysterious and can freeze the enemy to pieces. Its effect is similar to that of the Freeze Spell, but its power is greater than that of the Freeze Spell.

  Don't underestimate this technique, Wang Fei spent more than a month day and night to barely master it.

  "It's the end of the year, time to go home."

  Past events are unbearable to recall, Wang Fei gazed at the silver moon descending outside the window, and couldn't help but be moved. It had been three years since he last returned home to visit his parents, and he didn't know how things were going back home. How was his little sister doing over the past three years? Did those uncles still remember him?

  With this thought in mind, Wang Fei arrived at the Dan furnace in front of him.

  In three years, with his strength constantly increasing, Wang Fei's alchemy skills also gradually matured. Originally, the success rate of refining a furnace of Fusing Spirit Pill was only one in ten, but now it has reached five in ten.

  Don't underestimate this one-fifth. Failure is a very normal thing for alchemy, and the general failure rate is nine out of ten. Wang Fei's ability to reach this level is the result of his tireless efforts over the past three years.

  "It's time to go." With a glance at the shimmering blue light of the defensive array, Wang Fei whispered a sentence, then turned around, took out the Lingzhu, and with both hands forming a seal, shouted loudly at the Dan furnace in front of him, "Rise!"

  With a loud hum, the Dan furnace shook violently and suddenly rose into the air. Wang Fei immediately injected a strand of spiritual energy into the spirit pearl, which burst forth with a large white glow, opening its mouth wide to suck in the Dan furnace.

  Wang Fei wanted to refine the Qingling eye liquid, in addition to the purple bamboo grass and the bright leaf, he also needed the hundred-year-old bee king's jelly, which was at home, so he could only go back home to refine it, and thus had to temporarily take back this Dan furnace.

  Then, Wang Fei swept his eyes over the remaining fifty spiritual crystals.

  For three years, Wang Fei only used half of the Spiritual Crystal at critical moments in the middle of the Sprint. After all, the Spiritual Crystal was too precious and could not only be used for cultivation but also to recover magical powers. Using it all for cultivation would be too extravagant for someone like Wang Fei who wasn't wealthy.

  Fortunately, Wang Fei's spiritual root talent was different from usual, and even with the help of external forces, his progress was still quite smooth.

  After collecting his thoughts, Wang Fei left the room and came to the courtyard gate. He raised his hand, just about to open the light screen, when he heard a conversation between two disciples outside the light screen.

  "Zhen Shixiong, there's still a month left, no need to rush with preparations!"

  "You know what, this time the Spiritual Cultivation Conference will be different from usual. The five major sects of Yan Country have received funding from the neighboring country of Huanxian, and at the Trading Conference, not only will there be spiritual artifacts appearing, but also rumored to be high-level foundation-building techniques that are very enticing! However, at the same time, cases of murder and treasure theft will also emerge one after another. If you don't have enough means to protect yourself, forget about going there!"

  "Brother Zhen's teachings are..."

  The sound gradually faded away and disappeared in an instant. Wang Fei's eyes wandered as he fell into deep thought.

  Xiū Zhēn Yì Huì is a high-level organization of the five major schools of Yan State, specifically for low-ranking cultivators to exchange treasures. It allows for mutual exchange of goods, each taking what they need, with no fixed schedule, usually held every three to five years.

  Generally speaking, there shouldn't be anything too valuable, but this time the Five Gates Sect of Yan Country actually received funding from the neighboring country of Huanxian, and even produced spiritual tools and foundation-building methods that made even Foundation Building cultivators jealous. This point made Wang Fei feel somewhat uneasy.

  The neighboring country of Huànxiān, although barely considered mediocre in the entire Xiūzhēn realm, is a giant compared to a third-rate small country like Yàn. They actually invested heavily to support Yàn's Xiūzhēn realm, giving people the feeling that there's more to it than meets the eye.

  But these were not what Wang Fei was thinking about. What he was pondering was how to get a spiritual artifact or a set of foundation-building techniques.

  Although Wang Fei is currently in the middle stage of his cultivation, building a foundation is still far away for him. However, it's always better to be prepared, especially since Wang Fei has a cautious and farsighted personality. So, if he can obtain this foundation-building method, that would be great; but if not, he shouldn't force it too much, after all, his life is more important.

  As for the spiritual tool, it's even more unnecessary to mention that Wang Fei almost drooled, fortunately he calmed down immediately.

  Spiritual artifacts are one grade higher than magical artifacts. Although they are only one grade higher, their power is unmatched. The power of ten top-grade magical artifacts cannot compare to the power of a single low-grade spiritual artifact. Even for a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, owning a spiritual artifact is already something to be proud of.

  If I could luckily get a spiritual tool, then I would really be rich.

  It's necessary to go for a stroll. Of course, before that, Wang Fei must first return home.

  It's been many years since they last met, but Wang Fei had thought about it a lot in his heart.

  Without saying another word, Wang Fei urged on his spiritual power and pointed at the blue light screen in front of him. With a loud crash, the light screen shattered and Wang Fei walked out from it.

  The defensive formation previously set up was withdrawn, and Wang Fei went to the personnel department to make a record of returning home.

  Wang Fei is already a formal apprentice, and cannot come and go as he pleases. Everything must be recorded in writing, especially when going out at the end of the year, which requires approval from the personnel department.

  In the personnel department, Mo Zhang Lao stared at Wang Fei, who had already reached the sixth layer of Ling Xuan, his eyes almost bulging out. He remembered that three years ago, Wang Fei was only in the second layer of Ling Xuan, just a small shrimp, and now he had actually reached the sixth layer, quietly becoming a mid-level figure among the formal disciples.

  Mo Zhang recognized Wang Fei mainly because of Yao Shu's jade token, which had the introduction of a junior brother. This elder naturally paid special attention to Wang Fei.

  It's just that it's a bit inexplicable, Wang Fei, a disciple without a spiritual root, how could he make progress so quickly? Could it be that he used a large amount of spiritual crystals or swallowed some rare and precious medicine?

  For Mo Changlao's shocked expression, Wang Fei pretended not to notice and only thanked him before taking the token and leaving the mountain gate.

  Wang Fei dared to show off his strength so boldly, mainly because he was not worried about exposing his spiritual root. In his cultivation, Wang Fei had asked the mysterious person if his spiritual root would be recognized by others, and the result made him overjoyed.

  Swallowing the Spiritual Root is a very special Spiritual Root. If it weren't for the Jade Stone, even he wouldn't have known of its existence. The Spiritual Root that Wang Fei swallowed was wrapped in the Swallowing Spiritual Root, and unless one's cultivation has reached the point of defying heaven, it would be impossible to detect.

  As for what he said about cultivation being against the heavens, Wang Fei almost vomited blood. He actually had to reach the point of breaking through and transcending the mortal coil before he would have a chance to catch a glimpse or two. Remember, it's just a glimpse, which means whether he could see anything was still uncertain!

  With this guarantee, Wang Fei naturally didn't have to worry. In the Xiu Zhen realm, the weak were preyed upon by the strong, and being slightly stronger could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

  At present, Wang Fei's cultivation has broken through to the mid-term of Lingyuan, and he also has enough spiritual power to cast the Sword Controlling Technique.

  He stepped on the flying sword and Wang Fei didn't dare to stay for a long time, three years without seeing his parents, it really made him miss them so much!

  Riding his sword, the speed was indeed faster than walking, but the spiritual energy consumption was also higher. Even so, Wang Fei, who had just mastered the sword riding technique, was still excited and flew up and down, stopping and starting, half a day later, Wang Fei arrived at the entrance of Ping Village.

  Yi Ping Village is where Wang Fei grew up as a child. The village is not big, with only a few hundred people, but it's very cozy. The village chief is a kind person, and under his leadership, life in the village has been quite good.

  On ordinary days, Ping Village is not particularly lively, nor is it deserted. Especially now that the year-end is approaching, every household is busy preparing for the New Year, and the atmosphere is exceptionally lively.

  But today's situation is a bit strange, the village is very quiet, and there is a hint of sadness in the air.

  Since the emergence of his divine consciousness and the enhancement of his five senses, Wang Fei's sensory abilities have been increasing steadily. As for the joys and sorrows of ordinary people, he is even more familiar with them than the back of his hand.

  "Has something unexpected happened in the village?"

  Wang Fei's mind flashed with this thought, his heart skipped a beat, and he hastily walked towards the village.
