Chapter Twenty: Human Middle Grade

  In the world of humans, perhaps everything can have a trajectory, a reason and a constraint, but only the heart is uncontrollable. The joys and sorrows, partings and reunions, romance and deep friendships in life can only truly reveal their inherent meaning after experiencing the winds of time and the rains of the mundane world.

  Ye Feng's mood was suddenly elevated on the defendant's seat in the first trial court, which was beyond his expectation.

  As the first trial ended, bailiffs escorted Ye Feng back to the detention center. His mother followed closely behind from the courthouse, hobbling on her disabled legs, making a strenuous and painful effort to keep up with the prison van carrying Ye Feng until it disappeared into the distance.

  Ye Feng looked out of the car's rear window at his mother's hunched figure swaying back and forth. Ye Feng, who had never shed a single tear despite suffering great injustices all along, was now crying uncontrollably, sobbing uncontrollably.

  Because of his deep love for him, Ye Feng knew that no matter how afraid, worried and tense his mother was, she would try to suppress it in her heart and not express it. So after the first trial, Ye Feng never saw his mother cry again, but instead held his hand and smiled all the time. However, the more his mother behaved like this, the more worried Ye Feng knew she was. For a mother from a rural area who didn't understand much about law, the hat of a murder suspect that Ye Feng wore on his head brought her pain and pressure, no different from life and death separation.

  Suddenly, Ye Feng felt that the most painful thing in this world was not separation by birth, but separation by death. The most heart-wrenching and unbearable thing was also separation by death. His honest and kind-hearted mother could accept being separated from him by birth, but she absolutely could not accept being separated from her son by death. Separation by birth had already made people feel like they were going to die from the pain, yet they still knew that each other was in a place within reach, living quietly. But what about separation by death? That kind of helplessness in life made people unable to find an outlet for their grievances. When separation by death arrived, where would those who were left behind flow their tears to?

  Ye Feng made a vow in his heart, he must take revenge on Liu Yong, take revenge on Liu Mei Mei, and take revenge on all those who had hurt him, for they not only hurt him but also his dearest mother.

  After returning to the detention center, Ye Feng did not stop at all and immediately entered a state of sensing and collecting souls. By dinner time, Ye Feng had successfully collected six souls, half a day's work that yielded six souls, this achievement could be said to be his best since he started collecting souls.

  At ten o'clock in the evening, Ye Feng lay on his bed and entered the Nine Stars Space.

  When Ye Feng sat on the second floor of the high platform to start cultivating, the benefits brought by the improvement in his state of mind today appeared at this moment. The improvement in his state of mind made his normal cultivation speed a little faster, although it was only a little bit, but for him, it was a huge surprise.

  The principle of accumulation is understood by Yefeng, and his state of mind will not stop at this point. There is still much room for improvement in the future.

  On the second night back at the detention center, Ye Feng finally managed to push his progress to 40% through normal cultivation.

  Starting from the third day, Ye Feng no longer entered his consciousness into space for further cultivation, but instead focused on collecting soul points.

  The fourth day has passed...

  On the fifth night, Ye Feng finally collected and accumulated 500 soul points.

  Excited and delighted, Ye Feng entered the space without any hesitation, contacting the spatial laws and successfully advancing his cultivation progress to ninety percent of the total progress.

  Next is the moment he's been most excited about.

  Ye Feng walked up to the Spirit Gathering Cabinet and hastily took out the thread-bound ancient book of techniques and the jade box from the middle layer's grid frame.

  As expected, this set of techniques is an upgraded version of the basic techniques, that is, an upgraded version of Xingyun Step and Yuqi Decision. Ye Feng was still quite satisfied with this. The upgraded Xingyun Step was obviously more complex, and when it was launched, it could already dodge and weave freely without getting hurt even when surrounded by many people. As for the upgraded Yuqi Decision, it made Ye Feng even more satisfied. After learning this set of Yuqi Decision, he could more efficiently exert his current internal energy cultivation, not only could he stay suspended in mid-air for a period of time, but also slide a distance in the air with the coordination of Xingyun Step. In other words, he was like those light and agile martial arts masters on TV, who could jump over walls and houses as if they were flat ground, and could easily leap up to heights of five or six meters, or even higher, with just one jump.

  Unfortunately, Ye Feng's current cultivation is still far from the realm of internal energy and external release, and he can't exert his will to the extreme.

  As for the heavenly material and earthly treasure inside the jade box, it was just as Ye Feng had expected, still a human-grade heavenly material and earthly treasure.

  To be precise, this treasure is not a single item, but rather three items. However, since their effects are the same, they can only be counted as one (type of) treasure.

  Ye Feng suddenly had doubts in his heart, because according to the spatial law's previous hints, the number of heavenly treasures and earthly gems in each layer of the Spirit Gathering Cabinet was different. The first layer had one item, the second layer had two items, and the third layer should have four items.

  Now there are three top-grade materials in the two-layered grid, but they can only be counted as one item (type).

  So Ye Feng's spatial law seeks an explanation.

  Fazhen replied to Ye Feng, "The two-layered grid frame contains a top-grade treasure that is of middle quality for humans, while the one-layered grid frame contains a Soul Refining Pearl that is of lower quality for humans. One piece of middle-quality top-grade treasure is equivalent to two pieces of lower-quality top-grade treasure, so although there is only one piece of top-grade treasure in the two-layered grid frame jade box, its quantity is equivalent to two pieces of lower-quality top-grade treasure."

  Ye Feng was taken aback at that moment, it turned out that the number could be calculated like this.

  He immediately asked again, "If that's the case, then how many pieces of low-grade Heaven and Earth treasures would be equivalent to one piece of high-grade Heaven and Earth treasure? And what about if it were an extremely rare piece?"

  "Rules replied to him: "A high-quality human-grade item is equivalent to two mid-range human-grade items, and four low-end human-grade items. An extreme-quality human-grade item is equivalent to two high-end human-grade items, four mid-range human-grade items, and eight low-end human-grade items. The quantity exchange relationship between them is a double increase. If the space master feels that this representation method is not clear enough, the rules will directly use the terms "extreme", "high", "medium" and "low" to clearly indicate each layer of Tiancai Dibao in the future prompts. This time, the rules brought doubts and misunderstandings to the space master, which belongs to the rules' mistake. The rules will replace the Tiancai Dibao in the topmost frame box with a high-quality human-grade item as compensation for the space master, but only this once, and not again."

  When Ye Feng heard this, his mood suddenly improved. As a result, he was compensated for the mistake caused by Fa Ze's previous unclear explanation and could directly obtain a top-grade human material treasure in the three-layered jade box. It can be said that he gained an advantage from it.

  After clearing up the misunderstanding, Ye Feng's gaze fell on this treasure in the jade box. This treasure looked like three thin stone slices from the outside, giving people a feeling that it could be easily crushed with just a pinch of their hands.

  According to the Space Law, this treasure is a mid-grade human-level spatial treasure called Spatial Concealment Stone. Like the Soul Refining Pearl that Ye Feng first obtained, it cannot be consumed.

  The Space Concealment Stone is one rank higher than the Soul Refining Pearl, not only because its effect is slightly stronger, but also because it has no restriction on cultivation period. The Soul Refining Pearl requires cultivation to the fourth stage of Dan formation and soul refining before it can be used, but the Space Concealment Stone does not have this restriction and can be used at any time.

  The Space Escaping Stone, from the name itself, can be seen some clues. Two key words, one is space and the other is escape, it allows the user to go to where they want in an instant, just like teleportation.

  The distance of this teleportation is unlimited, even if you are in the Arctic, you can instantly move to the Antarctic.

  The meaning of escape is actually to preserve one's life or escape, put on the earth and in China, this effect may not seem very important, but in the Tianlong Xiu Zhen world, this effect is great, can imagine, a low-level cultivator, when facing a Yuanying, Jie Dan period cultivator chasing and killing, an escape can get out of danger, no matter how high the opponent's cultivation is, it is helpless to this, which cultivator does not envy such a life-saving treasure?

  With this treasure, killing people and snatching treasures in the Xian Tian world would be as simple as escaping afterwards.

  The method of using the Space Escape Stone is also simple. Before use, hold it in your hand and think silently about where you want to go. After pinching it into pieces, you can instantly arrive at your destination.

  Ye Feng now has three Space Concealment Stones, which means he can have three chances of spatial concealment.

  Such a wonderful treasure, it's indeed a top-grade human-level material.
