s simply threw caution to the wind and started indulging in entertainment outside. Some played cards, some played games, and others chatted about everyday matters. In short, they didn't train at all.T...After the celebration banquet, Ye Bufan began to get busy, working hard to improve everyone's cultivation.

Through this time, he also knew that the Tianfeng Empire was the weakest of all the empires on the entire Tianluo Continent. The remaining thirty-five empires were all filled with masters.

To get first place in the ranked matches, you have to do everything you can to help everyone improve their cultivation.

After the battle in Tiānláng City, everyone from Lǐngxiāo Academy had significantly improved in both their mental state and combat experience, but they were still some distance away from the next level.

Two main factors determine the height a cultivator can achieve: aptitude and cultivation resources.

Those large sects have so many powerful cultivators because they have access to a vast amount of cultivation resources.

Although Lingxiao Academy has a small number of students now, each one possesses top-tier cultivation talent. There is naturally no issue with their aptitude. What they lack now is resource supply.

Ye Bufan gathered all the people's spirit stones together, there were roughly five hundred high-grade spirit stones, two thousand mid-grade spirit stones, and nearly ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.

In fact, at their level, the effects of low-grade spirit stones were already very limited, but they were better than nothing.

Then he quickly set up a large gathering spirit array with these Spirit Stones as the center, and had everyone cultivate within the array.

The formation was activated, and rich spiritual energy immediately rose, eventually forming a thick fog of spiritual energy that was thousands of times denser than the outside world.

As everyone's cultivation techniques circulated, this spiritual energy was immediately absorbed into their bodies like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, transforming into surging true essence.

Ye Bufan kept observing the movements of the crowd, while Xiaoqing was playing a game console he had given her beside him, having a great time.

A day later, most of the spirit stones arranged within the formation had been absorbed. Under the nourishment of a large amount of spiritual energy, everyone's cultivation was rapidly improving.

Chu Lingxi was at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm before. Now, after absorbing so much spiritual energy, she quickly touched the bottleneck of the Void Refinement realm.

Ye Bufan saw that she was on the verge of a breakthrough, and immediately sent a Po Xu Dan into her mouth.

The pill melted in the mouth, transforming into surging true energy. Soon, the bottleneck was broken with a sound.

Chu Lingxi's aura surged instantly, reaching the early stage of the Refining Void realm.

After her, Nalan Yujia broke through. Under the nourishment of spiritual energy and pills, she directly reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul.

After them, Lu Xue Man, Hu Yao Yao, and Li Qing Zhu also successively completed their breakthroughs, advancing to a higher realm.

The only one who didn't make a breakthrough was Jiang Fangzhou, though this isn't surprising. He was only at the Golden Core stage before, and it was only after merging with the soul of the Evil Eye Daoist that he reached his current cultivation level.

The previous increase was too large, and it is now very difficult to make another significant increase in a short period of time.

However, through so long a time of cultivation, there have not been no gains. The cultivation after the fusion has been completely solidified at the peak of the Profound Void Realm, and the true essence has become more and more round.

As more and more people broke through, the speed at which spiritual energy was absorbed increased rapidly. Two days later, those spirit stones had completely turned to dust.

Seeing one breakthrough consume so many spirit stones, Ye Bufan couldn't help but feel a pang of pain. It seemed that cultivation truly consumed an enormous amount of resources.

Everyone finished their cultivation and each wore an expression of excitement.

"Little brother, thank you!"

Hu YaoYao, filled with excitement, rushed forward and hugged Ye Bufan. She then planted a kiss on his cheek.

Lu Xue Man had always been at odds with her, and naturally wouldn't back down. She stepped forward and kissed Ye Bu Fan on the other cheek.

Nalan Yujia has always been forthright and not at all shy. She also embraced him and kissed him heavily.

After three people, in the order they had just stood, the fourth person was Li Qingzhu.

She blushed and spat, "Shameless thief!"

Ye Bufan immediately had a black line on his forehead. Wasn't this being caught in the crossfire What did I do to you

To ease the awkwardness, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, all these spirit stones are used up. How much does one cost if we buy them"

He now has hundreds of billions of gold coins in his storage ring and wants to know how many spirit stones he can exchange them for.

Lu Xue'man said: "Spirit stones are also graded. The lowest-grade inferior spirit stone is one thousand gold coins each, the middle-grade spirit stone is one hundred thousand gold coins each, and the top-grade spirit stone is ten million gold coins each."

"Uh..."

Upon hearing the price, Ye Bufan was speechless. He had originally thought he was already a millionaire, but if it were converted to spirit stones, it wasn't much at all.

And as his cultivation level increases, the amount of spirit stones needed will certainly increase exponentially. The gold coins he has on hand are simply not enough. It seems he needs to do everything he can to find a way to collect spirit stones.

He instructed everyone to continue strengthening their cultivation, then turned and returned to his room.

Previously, at the Bei Qiong Sword Sect, he had refined a total of ten Shenyuan Pills in his alchemy furnace. He swallowed all of them in one go.

After about an hour, he slowly opened his eyes, a look of disappointment on his face.

I originally thought Fang Jing was already a powerhouse at the Dongxu stage, and with his primordial spirit refining Shenyuan Dan, its effects would definitely be better. Unexpectedly, it only raised him to the peak of the Yuanying stage.

It seems this is the limit of Shen Yuan Dan. I can only hurry up and repair the injured Sea of Consciousness, so that I can recover my previous cultivation level.

By the third morning, everyone gathered together at the gates of Lingxiao Academy.

Ye Bufan stared at the people in front of him, his face full of astonishment.

"What's going on"

At this moment, Lu Xueman and the others displayed cultivation at the Nascent Soul Stage. Even Naran Yujia was the same. The most surprising thing was Jiang Fangzhou, who only had the early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation.

"Big Brother Ye, it was me who passed on the method of concealing one's aura to everyone."

Jiang Fangzhou smiled and said, "You are the dean, but your cultivation is only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul."

We are students, even if we're older than you, it's not good to stand out, so let's just hide it. That way, we'll look more unified, right

Yè Búfán immediately understood what he meant. This guy had gotten addicted to pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and now he was going to play in the Dàxīng Empire again.

Hu YaoYao followed up, saying, “Yeah, little brother, I think this is so much fun!”

"Whatever you guys want!"

Ye Bufan didn't care about these things. Since everyone liked to play, let's all pretend to be pigs eating tigers together.

"Brother Ye, are there any more martial arts techniques Teach me one too, I want to be like everyone else."

Xiaqing was originally a child at heart, and now her face was full of excitement.

"My martial arts are not suitable for you."

Ye Bufan's shielding technique is a cultivation method practiced by humans, so it is naturally unsuitable for demon beasts.

Thinking again, he cautioned, "You have a jade pendant that masks your aura. As long as you don't act rashly, others won't be able to tell your cultivation level."

"In the Great Xing Empire, be careful. There are many masters there, so don't expose your aura carelessly."

"Okay, I understand."

Xia Qing pouted her lips, then picked up the game console again.

Yè Bùfán led everyone to the Ninth Heaven and flew toward the direction of the Dàxīng Empire.

This trip was tens of thousands of miles long. Ye Bufan gave control of the Nine Heavens to Naran Yujia, and even then, it took a whole day and night of flying before they entered the territory of the Daxing Empire.he first three moves. I won't fight back within those three moves, so people can't say I'm bullying you."Ye Bufan's eyes gleamed with excitement: "You said so, don't regret it later."Le Yang snorted d...
