Urban Invincible Overlord

"Damn, are all Core Formation Stage cultivators this poor? Aside from talismans, Immortal Herbs, and Third or Fourth Rank Demon Beast Inner Cores, there’s so little Spirit Stone storage."

Inside the wooden building where Yang Fei lived in White Jade City.

Yang Fei gathered all the storage bags from the Core Formation Stage experts he killed in that battle at Flame Moon Sect, obtaining a large number of talismans for supply use and numerous spiritual elixirs.

Actually, the wealth of these Core Formation Stage cultivators is not considered little, but Yang Fei possesses the top-grade Spiritual Ore Mountain Range of White Jade City on Earth, so any Spirit Stones stored by any powerhouse in the Southern Domain Cultivation World seem insignificant to him.

"This further proves the importance of Spirit Stones in the cultivation world. The Southern Domain Cultivation World has existed for too long, with Spirit Stone resources excessively exploited, so for the cultivation world, Spirit Stone resources are rapidly decreasing overall."

Yang Fei muttered to himself, paying more attention to the top-grade Spiritual Ore Mountain Range of White Jade City.

His Divine Sense swept over all the items laid before him; although there are four or five Magic Treasures that look quite impressive, they are nothing compared to the Soul Binding Rope, Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, and Extreme Fire Demon Pearl in his hands.

"If I could obtain a Defense Type Magic Treasure like the Mixed Element Bell, it would be somewhat useful. However, treasures of that level are probably hard to acquire in the cultivation world."

Yang Fei muttered to himself, suddenly recalling something.

During his months at Flame Moon Sect, he seemed not to have seen the owner of the Mixed Element Bell.

Back then, he killed her lover and seized the Mixed Element Bell, and she spent a lot of cultivation resources to exchange it back. She should hate him deeply, yet she didn’t show up during his stay at Flame Moon Sect.

It must be because she knew that he had already reached the Late Stage Core Formation, and she couldn’t defeat him, so she didn’t come looking for him for revenge.

Besides, even Li Shuya treated him with courtesy. She wasn’t even considered among the Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses in Flame Moon Sect, so she lacked the status to cause trouble for him; it was a wise decision not to come.

"Things like talismans, spiritual medicine, Demon Beast Inner Cores, and Demon Beast skins can be left for others; I don’t need them anymore."

Yang Fei packed everything into a slightly advanced storage bag and then used his Divine Sense to communicate with the Artifact Spirit of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace.

No response.

Yang Fei frowned.

After repelling the demon beast army, he returned here. The Artifact Spirit of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace told him it needed some time to completely absorb and digest the Life Qi Mechanism and Essence Blood of cultivators and demon beasts devoured during the battle, and casually asked if he wanted to keep the body of Su Jingshu and Jiang Xinyun.

Recalling the hostility of Su Baili towards him, Yang Fei hardened his heart and directly ordered it to completely absorb the bodies of the two women.

The Artifact Spirit of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace praised on the spot, "That’s right, this is what a man should do. I thought you kept them for lustful purposes."

Yang Fei cursed immediately, telling it to quickly absorb those spoils without babbling.

Having spent quite a bit of time sorting through these spoils, the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace should have absorbed most of it. Why hasn’t it responded yet?

He patiently waited a while, then tried to communicate again, still no response.

The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace was right beside him, so it can’t be fake. Its Artifact Spirit not responding indicates it’s not the right time yet.

Perhaps this time it devoured a large number of Core Formation Stage experts, along with many Second Rank and Third Rank demon beasts being suppressed and devoured. Even though the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace has regained some power, it might still need time.

However, he remembered the warnings from Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu well.

This Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace is indeed a bit too evil, and he couldn’t completely control it. Collaborating with it is like asking a tiger for its hide, requiring utmost caution.

He calmed himself and started practicing the cultivation technique of "Tao Longevity Scripture," taking the opportunity to recover.

After an unknown amount of time, his Divine Sense felt something; it was the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace’s Artifact Spirit calling him.

"Hahaha, kid, we’ve had a good harvest this time. My strength has recovered to over thirty percent of peak status, nearly forty percent," the Artifact Spirit of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace said excitedly.

Yang Fei was both surprised and delighted, "Really?"

He remembered that after suppressing several Core Formation Stage experts from the Mu Family and Han Family last time, the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace only regained over twenty percent of its peak state, not even reaching thirty percent. Now it claims to have surpassed thirty percent, approaching forty percent strength.

This time’s harvest was indeed significant for it.

"That’s great! It seems that overall strength of the suppressed Core Formation cultivators was much higher than last time near the Han Family," Yang Fei said.

"Not entirely. The main factor is those Third Rank demon beasts. Kid, we don’t need to go to the Southern Domain Cultivation World; we just need to stay in White Jade City. You and I can team up to slaughter over a hundred Third Rank demon beasts daily, and my recovery speed will be even faster."

Yang Fei was secretly moved but quickly became vigilant.

Following the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace’s suggestion, its recovery speed would indeed be extremely fast, but his own strength couldn’t grow rapidly; he would end up under the control of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace.

Instead of responding directly, he asked, "And what can you reciprocate to me now?"

"Hey, I thought you didn’t need my reciprocation. Come, let me show you the advantages of my increasing strength," the Artifact Spirit replied.

Upon saying that, the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace hovered above Yang Fei’s head, releasing abundant Life Qi Mechanism and pure Essence Blood, enveloping Yang Fei entirely.

Yang Fei almost cried out in comfort.

Whether it was the abundant Life Qi Mechanism or the continuously supplied cultivator Essence Blood, they were invaluable life essences for cultivators.

Each drop of Life Essence Blood required a cultivator to practice and refine over a decade or even longer.

And Life Qi Mechanism only generates alongside increasing Life Essence Blood.

Life Qi Mechanism signifies one’s vitality and lifespan; the more vigorous and abundant it is, whether in humans, animals, or plants, the longer and more vigorous the life force.

Now, without needing to cultivate day and night, he could receive the cultivation of Life Essence Blood and the filling of Life Qi Mechanism, and the feeling was exhilarating.

Yang Fei could clearly sense his cultivation realm rapidly rising with the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace’s continuous reciprocation.

Others slowly improve their cultivation realm through practice, but he seemed to cheat, only needing the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace’s reciprocation to increase his cultivation rapidly.

He had already reached the late stage Core Formation cultivation; he only recently broke through to the late stage Core Formation. Last time, it was thanks to the reciprocation that he progressed from the peak of mid-stage Core Formation to the late stage. Now, even with more reciprocation, the progress wouldn’t be very noticeable.

But soon he found he was wrong.

With the continuous reciprocation of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, he felt the upgrade speed of his cultivation realm was still astonishing.

Time flew.

In the blink of an eye, a day and night passed.

Yang Fei felt his cultivation had at least reached the middle level of the late stage Core Formation.

It seemed he would soon reach the peak of the late stage Core Formation.

But at this time, he clearly felt the reciprocated Life Essence Blood and Qi Mechanism from the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace weakened slightly.

No.

It’s not that the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace reduced the supply, but in the same situation, his realm and strength upgrade had reached the limit.
