Chapter 378: Chapter 245: Sudden Riches

[Mystic Origin Resonance]

Quality: Red

Description: A single spark of insight attunes one to all things.

Effect: Allows one to perceive the veins of vital energy between heaven and earth, as well as the auras of living creatures.

Looking at the information recorded by the Reversing Destiny Pearl, he understood.

This Red-quality talent belonged to the extremely rare perception category. This might be why the tier-6 Jade Spirit had been able to find him.

"What a pity!"

Yu Fei felt a pang of regret. His cultivation of the Star Soul Forging Scripture already met the requirements for perception-type Secret Techniques. He had planned to redeem a Cultivation Technique for it after school started, and [Mystic Origin Resonance] would have definitely helped him cultivate that perception Secret Technique.

’For the sake of greater benefits, I have no choice but to give it up...’

Even though he was reluctant, he could only grit his teeth and dismantle this Red-quality talent.

The spatial affinity talent was more practical and more urgently needed. Perception-type talents would have to wait.

The Golden Stone Gang Realm itself was a massive treasure trove of a mine. Yu Fei decided to get on good terms with Zhang Wenji; this place would be of great help to him in the future.

Afterward, Yu Fei found a spot nearby. With a few swings of his sword, Zhanming, he carved out a simple stone chamber. In the process, he dug up several more low-grade transcendent jade stones. Such a saturated reserve of jade ore was simply astounding.

Yu Fei sat cross-legged and immersed his consciousness into the Reversing Destiny Pearl.

Within his sea of consciousness, a single, tangible golden particle drifted up and down—the manifestation of his soul’s core. Beneath it, a deep blue Treasure Pearl slowly rotated, inlaid with twelve dazzling gems.

With the boost from the Reversing Destiny Pearl, Yu Fei’s Divine Sense now had a range of two zhang. The tea Ye Shuping sometimes brought out was extraordinarily effective and had greatly benefited his soul.

The golden gem on the Treasure Pearl represented the foundation of his cultivation. He had constantly merged and upgraded countless talents to raise it from the Blue-quality [Transcendent Comprehension] all the way to the Gold-quality Shenxiao Saint Body.

His Silver-quality talent was the Infinite Sword Soul. This talent was upgraded from Formless Sword Qi, and the Infinite Sword Qi it currently produced was still his most powerful offensive ability.

His remaining Red-quality talents were [Spiritual Acumen], which improved soul quality and Spiritual Power; the Divine Que Longevity Body, which extended his lifespan; and [Startling Swan], a speed-type talent he had obtained from Feng Hua.

Below that, in the Orange category, was his only talent: the Illusory Cicada Star Pupil. Its ability to see traces of vibration and its beyond-visual-range capabilities, when combined with his Reversing Destiny Vision, gave him a preliminary form of perception.

He had four Purple-quality talents.

[Fleeting Life, Instant], a 15-fold increase in neural reaction speed.

[Glimpse of the Abyss], for perceiving malice and predicting crises.

Electric Arm, which granted his arms limit-breaking speed.

[Silent Hunter], for superior stealth at night and increased speed on the first attack.

And the Blue-quality [Super-Strong Cervical Vertebrae].

The less said about that, the better.

Right now, the most important thing was to upgrade the Green-quality [Lesser Spatial Affinity].

Having made up his mind, Yu Fei dismantled [Mystic Origin Resonance]. The Red-quality talent instantly dissolved into a cloud of stardust. A sweep of his Divine Sense confirmed the count: still 200 units.

He immediately upgraded the spatial talent twice, raising it from Green to Purple.

Upgrading from Green to Blue cost 70 stardust, and from Blue to Purple cost 100 stardust. Yu Fei now had 68 stardust remaining.

Yu Fei’s mind then sank into a state of chaos. His consciousness arrived in that small world, a zhang across. As if breathing, the space began to expand, pushing its boundaries out into the endless void.

It finally stopped after reaching some kind of limit.

When Yu Fei opened his eyes again, over half an hour had passed.

Before he could even check the effects of the upgrade, a long-forgotten hunger pang struck him. Ignoring everything else, Yu Fei devoured a large amount of his stored food until the feeling of starvation finally subsided.

’Looks like I need to find Senior Sister Zhuo Feiming and purchase some Senluo Jade Fruit or a similar substitute...’

During the placement tournament, he had bought a high-energy tonic from Zhuo Feiming at the low price of 500 merit points. It contained energy that could be stored in his body, and for a while, he hadn’t needed to worry about his body lacking energy after upgrading or equipping a talent.

’Eating a massive amount after every talent evolution is very inconvenient, and it’s not good for my body.’

Making a mental note of it, Yu Fei turned his attention to the upgraded spatial talent.

[Intermediate Spatial Affinity]

Quality: Purple

Description: The Scalper’s Special.

Effect: Carve out a personal space from the void with a diameter of one thousand meters.

"A full thousand meters...!"

Yu Fei’s eyes widened in disbelief.

The change after upgrading the spatial talent twice was simply enormous.

His personal space was a perfect sphere. The initial one-chi space had a capacity roughly equal to a backpack.

After the first upgrade, it became a spherical space about one zhang in diameter, with a volume similar to a small room, which could already hold quite a lot.

But now, it was a massive space with a diameter of a full one thousand meters. It was no different from carrying a warehouse around with him.

Moreover, this size was far from its limit. A Purple-quality talent was only Middle Level. It was hard to imagine what the ultimate limit of this talent would be.

Suppressing his excitement, Yu Fei quickly partitioned the space. He separated his personal belongings and trash, placing them at the very top of the sphere.

Then, he tossed all the transcendent jade stones to the bottom, where they formed a tiny, almost unnoticeable pile.

Having acquired such a huge storage space, Yu Fei was instantly motivated. Time was limited, and his own mining efficiency was the lowest, but just the ore lying on the surface within this hundred-li range would be more than enough for him.

Yu Fei immediately seized the moment. He pierced tiny holes into every rock and stone wall within his sight. Whenever he sensed a transcendent aura, he would instantly collect the entire piece.
