Central Continent, Southern Region, Level 7 Sect, Nanyang Immortal Sect
The major city under his command is Nanyang City.
As the overlord of a region spanning millions of miles, the Nanyang Sect's major cities were exceptionally prosperous.
It could be said that it was almost equivalent to a major metropolis in Ye Feng's previous life.
The city is protected by a level six formation and is fully equipped with all kinds of facilities.
A spiritual site for breakthroughs
A secluded cave dwelling for seclusion.
The hotels and brothels where I stayed...
The streets were filled with cultivators; mortals were almost nowhere to be seen.
It can be said that there are Nascent Soul cultivators everywhere, and they are as common as dogs!
At the cave rental office, a man was leading a wolfhound that was half a meter tall, selecting a cave to rent.
"How about this No. 3, Tianzi, near Tianyu Lake? How much is it for a month?"
"A month?"
The manager, who had initially been all smiles and eager, suddenly became embarrassed.
"Senior... this cave dwelling isn't rented out month by month! The minimum is one year. This place is where three veins converge, with rivers and lakes. The cave dwelling is equipped with a level three formation, a level three spiritual spring, and a level four earth fire... The rental price is 120,000 high-grade spirit stones per year!"
120,000...
It's not expensive, but it's not cheap either.
If converted to low-grade spirit stones, that would be 1.2 billion.
This is a cultivation cave, not a place for breakthroughs or a shop.
However, this was no problem for Ye Feng at all.
"Can I pay with Soul Stones?"
The steward's face lit up with joy.
"Of course!"
What's the price?
Ye Feng took out a soul stone that contained only one soul beam and asked,
"Normally, Soul Stones are paid for with top-grade spirit stones. Last month, they might have sold for twenty or thirty, but as you probably know, the secret realm has just ended, and there are plenty of Soul Stones available, so the price is only thirteen or fourteen."
Furthermore, since we need to stockpile these goods after acquiring them, the buyback price is ten top-grade spirit stones! Of course, if you have a large quantity, I can also report to the sect and ask for a slight increase in the price!
Ten spirit stones weren't entirely unexpected for Ye Feng.
As for what the manager said about stockpiling and consumption, that simply doesn't exist.
For these powerful forces, hoarding resources for two hundred years is not a problem.
For magical artifacts, soul light is like hard currency.
The higher the level of the magical artifact, the more soul light it requires.
Advanced cultivators cannot enter the secret realm; they can only purchase it from Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation cultivators...
Moreover, in the Central Continent, those who enter the secret realm are all cultivators from various sects.
With a powerful sect behind them, they certainly wouldn't sell all their gains.
Its value may even increase further!
However, it's not time to sell yet; the system upgrade will be completed tomorrow.
Once you've fully comprehended the formations and talismans and need to upgrade them, then come back and sell them.
At that time, whether to stay or leave, one will have more room to maneuver.
After renting the cave dwelling for the price of one soul stone plus one top-grade spirit stone, Ye Feng took the control talisman and headed there.
I didn't linger much on the bustling streets.
The system has stopped transmitting, and neither Liang Yuxian nor Tiannan know the situation yet, so he's not in the mood for it.
Tianyu Lake is located on the eastern edge of the city, and Ye Feng's cave dwelling faces the lake directly.
The lotus leaves ripple endlessly, a vibrant green; the shimmering water reflects the red sunlight.
There is also a small island in the center of the lake, and you can see women dressed in colorful clothes rowing small boats and playing on the island's edge in the distance.
Previously, Ye Feng also believed that advanced cultivators cultivated every day.
It's either cultivation, crafting items, or planting spiritual plants...
In reality, most cultivators enjoy life just like ordinary mortals when they are not cultivating.
After all, not everyone can level up at any time like Ye Feng.
After leveling up, I'll be busy preparing to upgrade my spirit item.
After that, we still need to create cultivation techniques... and perfect our skills.
During the ten years he spent with his child, Ye Feng almost never stopped.
Now that the cultivation technique has reached its limit, if I were to forcibly upgrade using ten times the trading points, and with the availability of Transformation Pills, I could directly advance to the Returning Void level.
However, such upgrades, apart from increasing magical power and divine essence, have almost no impact on combat strength.
To obtain the later cultivation techniques, we'll have to wait until we join the Five Elements Sect...
Hearing the cheerful laughter coming from afar, Ye Feng silently made a decision in his heart.
Once the crisis of alien beasts is resolved and we have established a firm foothold in the Central Continent, I must take a few women and enjoy life to the fullest.
This world is so wonderful, how can we just be obsessed with cultivation, leveling up and leveling up, until all that's left is cultivation level?
Upon reaching the level of Spirit Transformation, one's state of mind also undergoes a change.
Improving one's cultivation level is ultimately for the purpose of better enjoying life.
But the truth is, things that I used to find interesting but never had the chance to enjoy, I no longer find enjoyable after my cultivation level improved.
This slight thought did not affect Ye Feng's plans.
After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, one attains enlightenment and sees one's true nature, meaning there are no more doubts about the path of cultivation.
Under normal circumstances, there will be no further danger of being attacked by inner demons.
Upon entering the cave and activating the protective barrier, the wolf king, who had transformed into a puppy, was left in the outer room.
Having never refined a beast-taming ring before, I put my Five Elements Bracelet on it first.
Anyway, the bracelet can be made big or small. As long as the wolf king refines it or goes far away, Ye Feng can simply control it to shrink, and then the person can come back and skin it.

The formation has already been upgraded to level six, and relearning it will require modifications and additions from the user's own efforts, which will undoubtedly take a considerable amount of time.
However, he had never learned how to make talismans.
Once you've thoroughly read and memorized it, you can use trading points to improve your skills.
"The Complete Book of Talismanic Arts?"
This name... is really down-to-earth.
Using my divine energy to check, it really is a complete encyclopedia!
Everyday talismans like cleansing talismans, water-repelling talismans, and rain-summoning talismans are practically no different from level one spells.
Offensive talismans include lightning talismans, water talismans, and fire talismans...
Support-type talismans include invisibility talismans, speed talismans, earth escape talismans, and energy talismans...
Treatment...
Exploration/reconnaissance...
What surprised Ye Feng the most was the exorcism category.
According to the description, exorcism talismans can not only harm spiritual beings, but also help those who have gone astray in their spiritual practice.
...
Although there are many types of talismans, the methods of drawing various talismans and casting spells are actually quite similar.
It simply transfers the flow of magic within the body to the talisman.
It makes casting spells much easier, essentially storing them and releasing them when needed. This not only consumes very little mana but also eliminates cooldown time...
The most crucial points are only three:
First, the synthesis of talisman ink.
Secondly, the collection and tanning of talisman paper.
The third point, and the most important point,
That is using magic to wield the brush...
The system upgrade prevents teleportation, but accessing the personal storage space works perfectly fine.
There were many demonic beasts killed in the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm inside, which could be directly used as materials. Ye Feng immediately began experimenting...
While Ye Feng was immersed in the world of talismans, a meeting concerning the survival of the cultivation world was also being held.
The forty-two Tribulation-Transcending stage demonic beasts that escaped the Heavenly Abundance Secret Realm are now scattered throughout the entire cultivation world.
They may still be somewhat unaware of the power dynamics within the cultivation world.
Furthermore, since they survived by killing and devouring each other, there was no possibility of them joining forces.
This is why the cultivation world appears so peaceful now.
But they won't stay this peaceful forever....
Once they undergo the tribulation, they will only have a thousand years left to live, and the despair of being unable to ascend will one day befall them as well.
At that time, the whole world will probably become their outlet for venting their anger!
