The next day
Ye Feng was awakened by a huge explosion outside the ship. He scanned the area with his divine sense to check the situation outside.
The spaceship's secondary array showed absolutely no reaction to this.
This is due to both his divine sense far surpassing that of ordinary Golden Core cultivators and the fact that his formation level reached level three.
Outside, four sailors were hunting down a late-stage Foundation Establishment sea beast.
A battle between Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't normally be very interesting, but Ye Feng's eyes showed surprise.
It was simply because the commotion made by the people outside seemed to exceed their cultivation levels...
When Ye Feng came out, Xiao Xuan was also watching from outside with a look of surprise on her face.
With a casual strike, it stirred up waves nearly a hundred meters high, and when it crashed into nearby islands and reefs, it caused a violent explosion.
This damn sense of déjà vu... made Ye Feng even more skeptical of the world.
"Wind-Riding Fist!"
A punch was thrown.
The powerful energy from his fist shot towards the eight-legged sea monster like a cannonball.
Where the force of the punch passed, the seawater was pushed aside, forming a "channel" that was hundreds of meters long.
The energy slammed into the sea monster, creating a massive explosion.
Upon closer inspection, one of the sea monster's tentacles had been smashed open with a large gash.
The sea monster's attack was equally "earth-shattering".
The tentacle unleashed an energy wave that stretched for nearly a kilometer.
The four people easily dodged the light wave by stepping on the sea surface.
Seeing that it was outmatched by the four attackers, the octopus decided to escape by diving into the water.
However, the four had anticipated this, and by pressing down, a huge column of water shot into the sky, lifting it up once again.
"Clang!"
The long sword was drawn, and with a flash of light, all four tentacles of the sea monster were severed in two.
...
His feet touched the water's surface with swift movements, and his moves were truly earth-shattering.
This is Naruto, and One Piece have also crossed over...
However, theoretically, these techniques shouldn't have been unleashed by these few mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Xiao Xuan, standing to the side, also looked puzzled, clearly seeing this for the first time as well.
"This is a gift from the sea!"
Ren Hongling walked over from the side, saying as she spoke.
"Most of us cultivators in the sea use spirit pearls for cultivation. The spiritual energy inside the spirit pearls contains the true essence of the ocean. Long-term use will produce such effects."
"However, once we reach land, this effect will gradually disappear, and in a few months, we'll be just like you..."
Anyone new to the area would have this question, and Ren Hongling wasn't surprised by the two's reaction.
But Ye Feng detected a different meaning in it.
Once on land, the effect disappears...
In other words, this effect can continue indefinitely at sea.
Such an effect is negligible for a few mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators.
But if it were applied to someone in the late Nascent Soul stage... the outcome would be completely different.
The difference between a sect with Nascent Soul stage combat power and one without is like an insurmountable chasm.
The 108 Middle Sects may change over time, but the Ten Supreme Sects will always remain the Ten Supreme Sects.
At the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in the sea, one might be able to rival a Deity Transformation cultivator.
No wonder such immense wealth went uncoveted...
But can cultivating with a spirit pearl really produce such an effect? To draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with one's own power?
A fleeting thought crossed Ye Feng's mind, and without hesitation, he took out a spirit pearl and crushed it.
The spaceship was instantly filled with a large amount of spiritual energy. This spiritual energy was not only not violent, but also very gentle and could be directly absorbed.
The surrounding boatmen all cast strange glances at them...
"I want to go into seclusion for a few days. Don't call me for meals!"
After Ye Feng finished speaking with a smile, he gave Xiao Xuan a look and then went straight back to his room.
"That's incredibly extravagant, just crushing a top-grade spirit pearl like that..."
The one speaking was the sailor who had fought the sea monster and boarded the ship—the one who used his fists.
"They're rich, why should you care? Haha..."
"Tch, being good-looking really does have its advantages."
Xiao Xuan's gaze swept coldly over the group upon hearing this.
"Have you all eaten too much? Then go and change the water for the fish in the warehouse!"
Ren Hongling interrupted at the right moment, then turned to face Xiao Xuan.
"Good sister, come with me. I'll show you the whitening cream I invented. If it's shipped to the mainland, it'll definitely sell well. If you find it useful, just tell your sect to buy it from me. I'll definitely give you a discount!"
Xiao Xuan remained silent for a moment, but ultimately did not speak. She nodded and left with Ren Hongling.
...
In a room unseen by the others, Ye Feng set up an array, sat cross-legged on the bed, and crushed one high-grade spirit bead after another.
The dense spiritual energy was almost to the point of obstructing vision.
"The spiritual energy within the Spirit Pearl is of the same origin as that of the sea, but the spiritual energy in the world is nothing more than the Five Elements. Even if there are some minor variants, they are only a very small portion..."
If one can draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to fight, can one also draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate?
Others are not allowed to bring the Spirit Pearl onto land, but Ye Feng can.
Time stands still within the personal space; even if the spirit pearl is brought back to the Qingyun Sect, its spiritual energy remains completely abundant...
But this was not the effect Ye Feng wanted.
Since spiritual energy is one of the five elements, it can be simulated using the five spiritual roots...
Ye Feng reached out and sensed the surroundings, then began to simulate the effects using spiritual energy within his body.
Time and time again...

Yunxia Market
"Miss Mei, the details that need to be discussed have been mostly settled. What remains is for your market to sign a contract with our sect leader. I suppose I should be able to meet the owner of the market now. I wonder if that Golden Core senior is available at the moment?"
Seeing the other party's expression, Li Qinghe had some guesses in her mind, but she still found it unbelievable. If there were rumors of Golden Core cultivators fighting, then there must be some truth to it.
"I don't need to elaborate on the importance of this matter. It's really hard to show sincerity if the owner of your market doesn't show up. Surely... you're all Qi Refining cultivators?"
Over the course of several days, she only encountered a few Qi Refining cultivators.
The Mei Er in front of us is actually quite good; he's at the eighth level of Qi Refining.
The others were also hovering around the sixth or seventh floor...
Surely this market is managed by only a few female cultivators at the Qi Refining stage?
“I’m sorry, the owner of the market is not here. I can make decisions about the market. If Senior Li thinks it’s okay, I can go with you to sign the contract now.”
Mu Yufeng said respectfully,
Although she was terrified of leaving the market, it was something she had to do for the sake of its development.
You can't just push things onto others because you're afraid...
"You? Go and sign a contract with our sect leader?"
Li Qinghe's voice was laced with anger, even though the environment and the way people were treated were beyond reproach.
But what about a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining who signs a cooperation agreement with the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect?
This is utterly ridiculous!
This is contempt for the Qingyun Sect!
Li Qinghe unconsciously unleashed his Foundation Establishment pressure, immediately triggering the array's alarm.
"Who dares to cause trouble in Yunxia Market?"
Three people rushed over from the side, one of them clutching the array control token tightly in his hand.
Li Qinghe glanced at him coldly.
Another Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator.
Mu Yufeng stopped Fang Xue from making a move and looked at Li Qinghe.
"Senior Li, please calm down. The owner of the market has gone on a trip, and we are indeed the only ones in charge here. If you are willing, we will sign the contract. If your sect feels offended, then we will wait for the owner to return, and I will report to him before making any further plans."
The other party spoke sincerely, even truthfully recounting the market owner's travels, so Li Qinghe couldn't afford to make a scene any longer.
"Since that's the case, then please invite Fellow Daoist Mei out. If you are sincere, I'm sure you won't refuse this request!"
