237: Chapter 212: When Sleepy, Soone Brings a Pillow 237: Chapter 212: When Sleepy, Soone Brings a Pillow At three in the morning, the previously quiet Tan Palace Villa suddenly echoed with the rumbling of sports cars as several canary won returned ho from their night out.
anwhile, Ye Fan quietly left Su Yuxin’s bedroom, removing the ‘Soundproof Array’ set up around the room on his way out, appearing extrely exhausted.
In the past few hours, not only had he used his mind power to set up the soundproof array, but he had also engaged in a fierce battle with Su Yuxin on the bed for three rounds, and after the battle, he used his mind power to help Su Yuxin break through to the Peak of Postnatal Realm.
Earlier, at Tan’s Private Kitchen, he had depleted a lot of mind power by setting up the ‘Yin Yang Absolute Killing Array’ and controlling Bai Luo’s body with no physical components involved; by now, his mind power was nearly depleted.
Back in his own bedroom, Ye Fan didn’t even take a shower; instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed.
Unlike before, Ye Fan didn’t imdiately enter a state of ditation but instead focused his consciousness, his fingers flicking quickly, forming a not-so-complex handprint as if he were a phantom.
“Gather!”
As the handprint was ford, Ye Fan thought, and a temporary ‘Gathering Essence Array’ appeared around the villa.
The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi above the entire Tan Palace seed to be summoned, so half enshrouded the villa’s surroundings, while the other half entered Ye Fan’s villa through the window, heading towards his head.
As the Primordial Qi entered his body, Ye Fan closed his eyes, concentrated his consciousness, and ditated according to the ditation technique recorded in ‘Nine Heavens Mystical Skill.’
Because martial artists mainly focus on body refinent, and magicians on cultivating consciousness, martial artists’ cultivation thods mainly recover internal strength during ditation, incidentally restoring a small amount of mind power, while it’s the opposite for magicians, who mainly repair their depleted consciousness and recover mind power during ditation, with a very small amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi autonomously cleansing the body of the magician.
As a result, martial artists’ bodies beco stronger, producing more formidable internal strength, while magicians may not have as strong bodies, their consciousness is far stronger than that of martial artists, and their mind power far surpasses martial artists!
Unlike typical cultivation thods, ‘Nine Heavens Mystical Skill’ allows cultivators to simultaneously recover mind power and internal strength during ditation, and which aspect it leans towards more is up to the cultivator to decide!
This is also the main reason why two years ago, Ye Fan was able to reach the Postnatal Great Perfection as a martial artist and the Peak of Postnatal Realm as a magician through dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.
Over the past two years, due to a ntal block, his ntal cultivation stalled, and neither his martial arts cultivation nor his magician cultivation could improve.
It was not until he fell in love with Su Yuxin and shared a bed that his ntal block loosened, allowing his martial arts cultivation to step into the Half-step Innate, though his magician cultivation remained stagnant.
What he could never have dread of was that when he was injured by Lv Canghai at Ao Xiang Villa, damaging his consciousness, a crimson golden crown appeared outside his mind, not only repairing his consciousness in a very short ti but also greatly strengthening his consciousness and increasing his mind power, allowing him to suddenly possess the cultivation of a Postnatal Grandmaster and significantly exceeding the mind power quantity and strength of other magicians of the sa realm!
This was also the main reason he could set up the ‘Yin Yang Absolute Killing Array’ bare-handed tonight!
As Ye Fan entered the ditation state, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi that entered his body did not flow along the ‘Great Cycle Path,’ but instead went straight for his consciousness.
Would the crimson golden crown appear again?
Ye Fan carefully sensed his consciousness.
The next mont.
In Ye Fan’s anticipation and sensing, that miraculous crimson golden crown reappeared out of thin air and enveloped his consciousness in its midst.
Compared to the last ti, Ye Fan could distinctly feel that the color of the crimson golden crown had deepened a bit, as if it had grown.
Just like when he previously treated Situ Ruoshui, after the crimson golden crown appeared, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, like unleashed wild horses completely out of Ye Fan’s control, sward into the crimson golden crown.
The crimson golden crown, like a bottomless pit, instantly absorbed all the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi that had entered Ye Fan’s body, and then shone brightly.
Within the golden light, pure mind power ford thin threads from all directions, wrapping around Ye Fan’s consciousness and then being absorbed by the mind power seed within Ye Fan’s consciousness.
At the sa ti, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around the villa seed to be drawn in, madly rushing into Ye Fan’s body, the speed several tis faster than before!
So fast!
Realizing this, Ye Fan was startled, and he vaguely guessed that this miraculous crimson golden crown inside his body had an inexplicable attraction to the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
Unlike the last ti he triggered the ‘Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array’ to attract a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, this ti, Ye Fan triggered the simplest ‘Gathering Essence Array,’ which was temporary and gathered very limited Primordial Qi.
Yet—
Even so, his mind power recovery speed was extrely fast, nearly equivalent to dozens of tis his own ditation recovery rate!
All this was because, this ti, the crimson golden crown absorbed and transford all the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into mind power without any reservation, feeding it back to Ye Fan, rather than only partially as it did the last ti.
After an indeterminate amount of ti, when Ye Fan’s mind power was completely restored, the crimson golden crown suddenly disappeared.
Hm?
Ye Fan’s mind stirred, and he suddenly realized that he had almost completely absorbed the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the vicinity of the Tan Palace.
The temporarily set up “Spirit Gathering Array” could no longer function to gather Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
“What exactly is this crimson golden crown, and why can it absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi so rapidly and transform it into Mind Power to feed back to ?”
Noticing that his Mind Power had fully recovered, Ye Fan couldn’t help but open his eyes and murmured, “Could it be a Magic Artifact?”
“It should not be!”
Ye Fan quickly dismissed this conjecture.
A so-called Magic Artifact actually refers to a device in which magicians can set up arrays, store Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, or act as the core of a high-level array, thus helping magicians trigger magic in an exceedingly short ti during combat, with much greater power than when done bare-handed.
According to the information from Chu Xuanji, there is no Magic Artifact in this world that possesses the function to autonomously absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy and convert it into Mind Power to feed back to the magician!
More importantly, though imbued with a mystique by its na, a Magic Artifact is essentially an item, a tangible object!
The crimson golden crown within Ye Fan’s body would appear and disappear intermittently, hardly a tangible object but more like a phantom.
Ye Fan shook his head, no longer pondering what exactly the crimson golden crown inside him was, but he felt sowhat excited—With the crimson golden crown, his cultivation speed would greatly increase!
He could use magic to set up arrays to gather massive amounts of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi for ditation, to restore the consud Power, and when the Mind Power was nearly depleted, he could restore it through the autonomous absorption of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi by the crimson golden crown, thus forming a perfect cycle of consumption and replenishnt!
“Huff~”
After the excitent, Ye Fan took a deep breath to calm himself down, “The temporary Gathering Essence Array can gather only a limited amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, at best enhancing my cultivation speed by about five tis, and I would need to keep changing locations during the cultivation!”
To cultivate faster, one would only be able to rely on the more powerful ‘Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array.’
But there are three thods to set up a more advanced ‘Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array.’ First, using Essence Stones as the Array Eyes to trigger the array with their consumption.
Second, using one’s own Essence Blood instead of Essence Stones.
Third, use a Magic Artifact as the core Array Eye, and flora, trees, mountains, and rivers as supplentary Array Eyes.
“Using Essence Blood to set up the ‘Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array’ for cultivation is sowhat of a loss, and Essence Stones are rare and expensive.
Even if I were to spend all the money of my senior sister’s Tianshan Group on them, it wouldn’t last a few years.”
Thinking of this, Ye Fan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, “If only I had a Mid-level Magic Artifact that could act as the ‘Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array.’
He had heard from Chu Xuanji that Magic Artifacts, Cultivation thods, and martial arts are categorized into Primary, Interdiate, and Advanced levels, among which Magic Artifacts are the rarest, almost impossible to find!
In Ye Fan’s mory, even Chu Xuanji, who had reached an unfathomable level of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, did not possess a single mid-level or higher Magic Artifact, highlighting how precious they are!
Of course, in Ye Fan’s view, the reason why Chu Xuanji lacked a Magic Artifact was largely due to his odd personality and unwillingness to interact with outsiders.
Otherwise, with Chu Xuanji’s identity and strength, acquiring a mid-level or higher Magic Artifact wouldn’t be too difficult.
“Why not let the old guy brazenly go and ask ‘Yan’ for one?
Although ‘Yan’ is a pure martial artist, with his status, he should be able to obtain a mid-level or higher Magic Artifact.”
Ye Fan suddenly felt tempted but imdiately dismissed the thought.
In his opinion, it would be more painful for Chu Xuanji, a likewise supre strongman, to ask ‘Yan’ for a Magic Artifact, steeped in his pride, than to kill him outright.
“Forget it, I’ll call my senior sister tomorrow to find a way to buy so Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
On one hand, to refine cultivation drugs for Jin Emperor and Jue Ming, and on the other, to craft so high-level Elixir Pills and try my luck at so underground auctions to see if I can exchange for so Essence Stones.”
Thinking this through, Ye Fan felt this was the most feasible thod, allowing him to maximize the value of his current abilities to acquire the needed Essence Stones.
Having made his decision, Ye Fan shook his head, not thinking further, and got up to change his clothes, quietly leaving the villa—Since he had absorbed all the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around the Tan Palace, if he wanted to continue cultivating, he had to find a place around the Tan Palace Noble District where the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was abundant.
anwhile, in the wooden villa courtyard at Dong She Mountain.
Duanmu used a mid-level Magic Artifact given by his master as the main Array Eye, then also used eight sesa-sized Essence Stones as supplentary Array Eyes, triggering the ‘Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array.’
“Once I step into the Innate Domain, I’ll be able to fully unleash the power of this artifact, and then I won’t need to consu Essence Stones to set up the ‘Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array’ anymore.”
With the array successfully set up and sensing the mad rush of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi towards the villa courtyard, Duanmu couldn’t help but exclaim, then thinking of Ye Fan and Bai Luo’s conflict, he mused, “That bastard of the Ye Family managed to set up the ‘Yin Yang Absolute Killing Array’ in three seconds without using Essence Stones as supplentary Array Eyes.
His Magic Artifact must be at least mid-level, right?”
“If it’s a high-level Magic Artifact, that would be even better!”
With that thought, Duanmu sneered sinisterly, seeming almost eager to rush over and snatch Ye Fan’s ‘Magic Artifact.’
