Chapter Twelve: Four Values Exchange

  According to the fundamental law of spatial principles, as long as Ye Feng sits cross-legged on the futon in the center of the high platform, he will automatically enter a state of cultivation. He doesn't need to learn, he doesn't need to comprehend, and he doesn't even need to investigate the reason. Everything happens naturally, and as long as he sits cross-legged, he will automatically understand how to cultivate.

  Soon, Ye Feng entered a wonderful state of introspection, and he could see that inside his body there was a dark red mist-like energy, Ye Feng knew this was called inner energy.

  This inner air leaf wind cannot be released externally for the time being, and it can only achieve limited internal air release after he cultivates to the initial stage of refining qi and condensing spirit.

  Here is the translation:

  Take Ye Feng as an example, he can now jump very high, but he cannot stay suspended in mid-air and will soon fall down. However, once Ye Feng can internalize his energy and release it externally, he can remain suspended in mid-air and even propel his body forward, backward, up or down at will. The duration of this suspension and the speed of propulsion depend on the amount of internal energy he has, or rather, the magnitude and depth of his internal energy.

  To put it more directly, once Ye Feng can breathe in and out freely, he can glide in the air to a certain extent. It's gliding, not flying. In the Tianlong Cultivation Realm, only when a cultivator reaches the stage of refining equipment can they fly with their sword or use other magical tools to fly.

  Ye Feng wants to reach this level, but he is still very far away.

  For example, after being able to internalize and externalize his energy, Ye Feng can also condense his internal energy into a single point, with the size and degree varying at will. He can transform his energy into a knife or stone, just like the kind of air-killing technique described in martial arts novels. When he engages in close combat with someone, he can completely kill his opponent from several meters or even tens of meters away using an invisible energy blade without them realizing it. He can also use his fingers to shoot out his internal energy and injure or kill people, which is more ruthless and convenient than shooting a gun.

  Ye Feng would never casually harm or kill people, and unless he had cultivated to the peak of Qi condensation, even if he used his air control to hurt someone, the lethality wouldn't be that great.

  But Leaf Wind was still very excited and shocked when he realized this point.

  According to the law, when he broke through the second stage of refining Qi and reached the third stage of refining Dan, the internal Qi in his body would slowly liquefy. At that time, the internal Qi would no longer be called internal Qi, but would be called true yuan.

  However, Ye Feng is still far from the stage of transforming his Yuan Qi into a liquid and then into True Essence.

  The inner energy revolves around the eight extraordinary meridians between the leaves and winds, and the leaves and winds can feel their own meridians being slowly expanded, transformed, and becoming stronger.

  But after a period of time, this rotation speed became slower and slower.

  Ye Feng was greatly perplexed, wasn't it said that by sitting in meditation one could automatically cultivate? But why has this situation appeared now?

  Ye Feng once again raised questions about the law, and the law also quickly gave him an answer.

  Actually, I had vaguely guessed some of this answer before Ye Feng mentioned it.

  Although the power of the true immortal due to the influence of the law can make cultivation automated, the energy required for cultivation is not something that the law can actively provide, and Ye Feng needs to find and accumulate it himself.

  For example, a large amount of spirit stones or finding a place with a vast amount of spiritual energy.

  But these two points are completely impossible on Earth.

  Then can't cultivate?

  Of course not, the law gives Ye Feng a very clear answer. If you don't have the above two points, use four values to replace them.

  What is meant by the four values, is that the law has previously hinted at Ye Feng's merit value, soul value, charm value and evil value, which can be remembered separately or accumulated and superimposed.

  Through the four-value exchange, you can speed up your cultivation. The higher the four-value exchange quota, the faster the cultivation speed will be. The law even reminds Ye Feng that if he exchanges 3,000 quotas of four values at once, he can reach the initial stage of Lianqi Condensing Spirit within 10 minutes. If Ye Feng can exchange 9,000 quotas of four values at once, he can quickly advance to the middle stage of Lianqi Condensing Spirit. As for how much quota is needed to reach the peak period, the law did not give Ye Feng any hints, it seems that this quota must be very high, and the current Ye Feng has no possibility of completing the exchange.

  Ye Feng roughly estimated that to reach the initial stage, he would need 3,000 units of four values. From the initial stage to the intermediate stage, he would need 9,000 units of four values, which was a threefold increase. Then, to reach the peak stage, wouldn't he need 27,000 units of four values?

  If this is really the rule, then Ye Feng can only say that this quota is simply too terrifying.

  This peculiar cultivation method made it difficult for Ye Feng to understand, but after all, this was a good thing for him. Using the Four Values to replace Ling Shi and Ling Qi was his only choice at the moment.

  Ye Feng eagerly exchanged his existing 100 points of soul value through consciousness and law, and indeed, his cultivation speed accelerated again, much faster than the initial one. The circulation of internal energy was extremely smooth, and Ye Feng could already feel some changes in himself.

  He felt that his physical abilities had been strengthened again, and his body strength had increased a lot. Most importantly, he felt that he had initially possessed spiritual consciousness.

  The ability of divine sense, which almost every cultivator has, is unimaginable to Ye Feng. According to the explanation given by the law, divine sense is a unique ability that only cultivators possess. With divine sense, one can perceive all things with their mind, and its range is very broad. As cultivation increases, the range of divine sense also increases correspondingly. After reaching an extremely high level of cultivation, one can even directly kill many cultivators with lower cultivation than themselves using divine sense alone. Cultivators can be killed, let alone ordinary humans on earth.

  After possessing the divine consciousness, Ye Feng's spiritual power also became stronger, and he could understand some of the ultimate principles of heaven and earth. It was as if he had suddenly gained enlightenment, and in an instant, many places that were unclear during his previous cultivation were suddenly understood. Many heavenly truths that he had never experienced before suddenly flashed through Ye Feng's mind like a movie, and he also gained some insights from it.

  This feeling is indescribable, seemingly mysterious, but for Ye Feng, it's as natural as eating and drinking.

  Unfortunately, despite having spiritual awareness and instant enlightenment of some heavenly principles, the hatred towards Liu Yong and Liu Mei still couldn't be let go. Spiritual awareness can make Ye Feng understand some heavenly truths of the cultivation world, but it cannot make Ye Feng understand that a person must experience sorrow, joy, success, failure, and experiences to comprehend life's journey and experiences.

  Moreover, Ye Feng did not want to give up. After all, he was not a monk living on the Tianlong planet, nor did he want to pursue the Wuji Tiandao, at least not for now. Or rather, his current stage of enlightenment and divine consciousness were still unable to ascend to that level.

  Liu Yong and Liu Mei's unjust accusations and resentment towards him, Ye Feng must avenge, otherwise he would be unworthy of being a man. This is Ye Feng's greatest obsession at the moment, and it is also determined by his character.

  Ye Feng continued to cultivate until he had used up the 100 points of accumulated soul value, and only then did his cultivation progress slow down.

  Ye Feng couldn't describe the speed of his cultivation progress with language, but he could clearly feel the situation of his own progress. If this progress value were to be compared using percentages, Ye Feng's current progress had only reached ten percent, which means that he still lacked ninety percent of the progress needed to successfully cultivate to the initial stage of the Second Stage Qi Condensation Realm.

  Ye Feng calculated the current progress, if advancing 10% of the progress requires 100 points of soul value, then he wants to quickly advance the progress to 100%, still needs 900 soul values.

  The four values of the three thousand quota mentioned earlier can make him successfully reach the initial stage of refining Qi and condensing spirit in one go, which is actually equivalent to investing three times the quota of four values at once. This amount is an astronomical figure for Ye Feng now, think about it, accumulating 100 soul values took Ye Feng so long, let alone 3000.

  Ye Feng's subsequent cultivation process was still very long, and Ye Feng had to make time every day to accumulate soul value.

  At the same time, the prompt given to Ye Feng before also mentioned that the reason why the Ling Cabinet is divided into three layers of grid frames is set according to Ye Feng's cultivation progress. When Ye Feng's progress reaches 30%, he can take out the basic exercises and a piece of human-grade Tiancai Dibao (Tiancai Dibao is divided into three levels from low to high, namely human-grade, earth-grade, and heaven-grade) from the lowest layer grid frame of the Ling Cabinet. When Ye Feng's progress reaches 60%, he can take out the slightly higher-level exercises and two pieces of human-grade Tiancai Dibao from the middle layer grid frame of the Ling Cabinet. When Ye Feng's progress reaches 90%, he can take out the basic spells and four pieces of human-grade Tiancai Dibao from the top layer grid frame of the Ling Cabinet.

  The most important basic spells for Ye Feng are placed in the top grid, which means that if Ye Feng wants to learn spells like Soul Capture, he must advance his cultivation progress to 90% first.

  Converted into actual soul value, it means that Ye Feng still needs to collect and accumulate enough 800 points of soul value.
