501: You won’t blame me for coming here uninvited, will you? (47k words, please give me a monthly ticket to read!)

“Shang Chengfeng’s treatment, for the first half-month, requires one ordinary-quality spiritual will-type extraordinary substance daily to nourish his soul.”

“After half a month, the interval will be every three days, and this process needs to continue for at least half a year, requiring approximately seventy-five ordinary-quality spiritual will-type extraordinary substances in total.”

“After half a year, medium-quality extraordinary substances will be used to further strengthen his soul, consuming about ten such substances over an estimated three months.”

“Finally, several high-quality extraordinary substances will be simultaneously integrated to forcefully clear the obstructed parts of his soul, restoring its clarity.”

“...”

After Zhang Bu left with Shang Chengfeng, Lin Yang looked at the treatment plan System had devised for Shang Chengfeng and was momentarily speechless.

Seventy-five ordinary-quality extraordinary substances, ten medium-quality ones, plus several high-quality ones?!

“System, I don’t have that many extraordinary substances!!”

Lin Yang complained weakly.

Was System treating him like an extraordinary substance wholesaler?

He currently only had about twenty ordinary-quality spiritual will-type extraordinary substances, five medium-quality ones, and one high-quality one.

This was far from what was needed for the treatment.

“Does his treatment need to be so exaggerated?”

Lin Yang was also a bit puzzled.

“Host, Shang Chengfeng possesses an extremely pure soul. Such a soul grants exceptionally high talent, but correspondingly, once injured, the difficulty and cost of treatment will double. Fortunately, his injuries are not too severe, otherwise, the treatment difficulty and cost would be far greater,” System explained.

“Alas, everything truly has two sides…” Lin Yang sighed.

“Host, if your current extraordinary substances are insufficient, System has a second treatment plan.”

“Tell me.”

“Host, you can use top-grade spiritual universal substances to assist the treatment. In that case, the spiritual will-type extraordinary substances you currently possess should be sufficient for the treatment.”

“…Use top-grade spiritual universal substances for treatment??” Lin Yang’s eyes widened. “I don’t even have spiritual universal substances of that quality yet!”

“Host, you have three opportunities to fuse spiritual universal substances. You can consume one opportunity to fuse a top-grade one from high-quality spiritual universal substances,” System reminded.

“Uh…” Lin Yang then remembered that this was indeed the case.

“Among the spiritual universal substances Yu Ancestor gave me, there are thirty-three high-quality ones…”

Lin Yang paused:

“Then I’ll just use all three opportunities.”

He would have to fuse them eventually anyway, so he might as well fuse them all at once.

He didn’t know how Yu Ancestor had managed to get so many high-quality spiritual universal substances.

“It seems he mentioned going to a place left by Human King Qin Zheng. Was it left by that Human King?”

Lin Yang remembered Yu Ancestor saying something like that at the time.

He first heard about this Human King during the Universe Alliance’s Genius Competition.

It seemed this Human King was also targeted by Northern Branch Rock and those Old Monsters, and his whereabouts were currently unknown.

And the name Yu Xia Universe also came about because of Human King Qin Zheng.

Otherwise, it would just be a string of numbers.

“Although I haven’t heard much, Your Excellency Human King is definitely a person of astonishing talent. He was the first to single-handedly break the monopoly of contestants from major Universe Countries, and quickly rose to a level that threatened Northern Branch Rock and others, leading to him being targeted and disappearing without a trace.”

“Yet, his actions allowed Home Universe to have a name. Even after so many years, he could still leave behind so many precious resources, and Northern Branch Rock and others still mention him with apprehension…”

Lin Yang also felt some curiosity and admiration for Human King Qin Zheng.

Just from a few scattered words, he could feel the astonishing brilliance and power of this Human King.

Especially, what kind of deeds did he accomplish to earn the title of “Human King,” acknowledged by everyone?

Song Qingfeng and others spoke of him with immense respect.

Even people from the Old Monster Faction referred to him as Human King rather than calling him by his given name.

This made Lin Yang very curious.

Just as Lin Yang was lost in thought, System’s voice came: “Host, three opportunities for spiritual universal substance fusion have been deducted, and fusion is successful.”

Lin Yang took out the three top-grade spiritual universal substances from System’s space.

The next instant.

His expression couldn’t help but change.

“This…”

“Such rich and pure spiritual power?”

Lin Yang was somewhat surprised.

The concentration of spiritual power within top-grade spiritual universal substances was more than ten times that of high-grade spiritual universal substances!

And it was incredibly pure!

The entire substance no longer looked milky white; it had become almost transparent and crystalline, somewhat resembling crystal.

There was also an incredibly peaceful and comfortable aura about it.

It seemed to have completely transformed into another, higher-level substance, almost no longer resembling a spiritual universal substance.

“No wonder top-grade spiritual universal substances are qualitatively different; they are truly extraordinary.”

Lin Yang exclaimed.

Let alone fusing three high-grade spiritual universal substances for one top-grade one, even if it were ten, twenty, thirty, or fifty for one, it would still be a huge profit!

These were almost two different levels of things.

He could feel that his body, and even his soul, had a craving to absorb the top-grade spiritual universal substances in his hand.

“Top-grade spiritual universal substances have too many uses; I still can’t use them casually.”

Lin Yang resisted the urge and put away the three top-grade spiritual universal substances.

After fusion, he still had twenty-one high-quality spiritual universal substances and a large quantity of medium-quality ones.

There was no need to absorb the top-grade ones for now.

Yes, that’s right.

Among the spiritual universal substances Yu Ancestor gave him, the most numerous were not ordinary-quality, but medium-quality ones.

There were over a thousand of them!

“This debt of gratitude is too great.”

Lin Yang sighed with emotion.

Then, without wasting time, he began to absorb the medium-quality spiritual universal substances.

The efficiency of absorbing spiritual power from heaven and earth was slower than absorbing spiritual universal substances.

Lin Yang planned to absorb most of the spiritual universal substances first, and then absorb the spiritual power from heaven and earth.

After absorbing these substances, his strength would greatly increase, and the efficiency of absorbing spiritual power from heaven and earth would also be faster.

Time flew by.

The next day arrived.

Zhang Bu arrived on time with Shang Chengfeng.

“Your Excellency Lin Yang, thank you for treating Chengfeng. This is breakfast Chengfeng made for you; I hope you don’t mind.”

Shang Chengfeng held a tray with some local specialty foods and a few not-so-delicate pastries.

Clearly, the less delicate ones were made by Shang Chengfeng.

“Chengfeng, there’s no need to do this in the future. I appreciate your thoughtfulness, but in the morning, you should sleep more. Right now, resting your spirit is the most important thing!”

Lin Yang took a pastry and ate it, while earnestly admonishing him.

“Chengfeng understands!”

“Hmm, Your Excellency Zhang Bu, in the future, you also shouldn’t let Chengfeng do these things anymore.”

Lin Yang then looked at Zhang Bu.

While Shang Chengfeng certainly wanted to thank him, the idea was likely Zhang Bu’s.

“Alright, alright.” Zhang Bu’s face immediately flushed.

The idea was indeed his.

Lin Yang said no more and once again took out an ordinary-quality spiritual will-type extraordinary substance to treat Shang Chengfeng.

And upon seeing Lin Yang use an extraordinary substance for treatment again today, Zhang Bu was once more deeply shocked!

He had already used two extraordinary substances consecutively!

“Your Excellency Lin Yang, the kindness you’ve shown Young Master Chengfeng will surely be remembered for Life by Young Master Chengfeng, my family’s Patriarch, and Miss Shang. We will never forget it!”

“On behalf of Young Master Chengfeng, Miss Shang, and the Patriarch, I thank you for your great kindness!!”

After Lin Yang finished the treatment, Zhang Bu bowed deeply to Lin Yang again.

He couldn’t tell Shang Qingluo and Shang Changshan about this yet.

And Shang Chengfeng didn’t know how to say such words.

Therefore, he said them on their behalf.

This great kindness was simply unpayable by the Shang family!

“There’s no need for that.”

Lin Yang waved his hand.

Zhang Bu, understanding, immediately took the unconscious Shang Chengfeng and quickly left, so as not to disturb Lin Yang.

Lin Yang then continued to absorb the spiritual universal substances.

Day after day.

Soon, more than half a month passed.

During this half-month, Lin Yang treated Shang Chengfeng promptly every morning, then absorbed spiritual universal substances to improve himself, living a very regular Life.

And Shang Qingluo and others hadn’t sought him out once.

It seemed they had forgotten him.

It was as if he only needed to play with Shang Chengfeng for a while each day here.

They hadn’t mentioned assigning him any work.

Lin Yang was happy to be undisturbed.

Another morning arrived.

“Chengfeng, starting today, the daily treatment time will be relatively longer. You’ll sleep two extra hours each day, and occasionally your head might hurt a bit, but this is normal. When it hurts, endure it, and do not take any painkillers. Remember?”

Before starting the treatment, Lin Yang first gave some instructions.

The ordinary-quality extraordinary substances were almost used up. Starting today, he would use top-grade spiritual universal substances to assist the treatment.

This would cause some stimulation to Shang Chengfeng’s soul, leading to irregular headaches.

As for using top-grade spiritual universal substances to treat Shang Chengfeng, Lin Yang didn’t feel any heartache.

Not to mention the kindness Shang Qingluo and others had shown him earlier, just Shang Chengfeng’s extremely pure soul alone made it worthwhile.

Once cured, this boy would be able to master the Life extraordinary characteristic.

Lin Yang also had a sense of cherishing talent.

Incorrect version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar first published this novel.

Such great talent, if wasted in a daze, would truly be a pity.

Humans and foreign races were fighting year after year here, and one more expert with the Life characteristic could bring more hope to humanity.

“Chengfeng remembers!”

Shang Chengfeng obediently replied.

Zhang Bu secretly made a note not to use any painkillers.

Over the past half-month, he had been shocked into numbness.

Lin Yang used at least one extraordinary substance to treat Shang Chengfeng every day.

In these nearly twenty days, he had used over twenty extraordinary substances!

This was something Zhang Bu couldn’t even imagine!

So, he now carried out Lin Yang’s words with absolute thoroughness!

Those were over twenty extraordinary substances!

His heart pounded every time he thought about it.

To put it without exaggeration, if so many extraordinary substances were placed outside, Qianpan Star could be annihilated dozens of times over.

To be able to produce so many extraordinary substances, in his mind, Lin Yang’s status was already approaching that of a deity.

After all, even the top existences in the War Alliance, Zhang Bu felt they couldn’t possibly be so extravagant as to use extraordinary substances as healing medicine!

He now held Lin Yang in extreme awe and reverence.

Phew.

Under Zhang Bu’s gaze.

An extraordinary substance, which felt somewhat different to him, appeared in Lin Yang’s hand.

“It feels different from the extraordinary substances used daily. Could it be a higher-quality extraordinary substance?!”

Although Zhang Bu had never seen a medium-quality extraordinary substance, he had learned a lot about extraordinary substances through various information channels over these past days.

Now, seeing the new extraordinary substance Lin Yang took out was not the one frequently used over the past half-month, and its white glow appeared more intense, he immediately made a deduction and was greatly shocked once again.

Even though he had been shocked into numbness these past days, at this moment, his heart still couldn’t help but surge again.

Lin Yang was actually using a higher-quality extraordinary substance to heal Shang Chengfeng!

Zhang Bu was stunned.

He nearly fainted.

Ordinary-quality extraordinary substances were already precious and coveted items.

Higher-quality extraordinary substances were simply existences Zhang Bu didn’t even dare to imagine!

A single medium-quality extraordinary substance could even tempt experts from the Maple Canopy Empire!

But now… Zhang Bu’s mind reeled, and his body began to tingle and tremble.

At this moment, his gaze towards Lin Yang was one of divine reverence.

If before it was awe, now it was fanaticism!

Suddenly.

Another transparent, crystalline substance appeared in Lin Yang’s hand.

Although no radiance emanated from it.

But upon seeing this crystal-clear substance, Zhang Bu’s eyes became unfocused for a moment!

It was a feeling he found hard to describe.

As if this crystalline substance had become the sole entity in heaven and earth.

It gave him a feeling of wanting to get close, yet fearing that even a prolonged glance would cause sacrilege.

Zhang Bu’s mind was in a trance.

He didn’t recognize spiritual substances.

But at that instant, an instinct deep within told him that this crystal-clear substance was definitely something a hundred or even a thousand times more precious than extraordinary substances!

“Your Excellency Lin Yang… Is, is this a sacred object?”

Zhang Bu couldn’t help but murmur.

In his perception, this crystal-clear substance was like an inviolable divine object, making him afraid to look at it too much.

“Sacred object?”

Lin Yang looked at Zhang Bu strangely.

He was a bit surprised that Zhang Bu would use such a term.

Zhang Bu lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the top-grade spiritual universal substance in Lin Yang’s hand, and tremblingly described his feelings.

“Uh…”

Lin Yang was stunned after hearing him.

An inviolable sacred object?

He lowered his head and looked at the top-grade spiritual universal substance.

This thing could actually have such a profound effect on ordinary people?

He was quite surprised, then slightly turned his body, shielding the top-grade spiritual universal substance from view.

Zhang Bu finally relaxed.

Before, he dared not look too much, yet he couldn’t bear to avert his gaze.

Only now, with Lin Yang moving the substance away, could he finally relax, feeling almost exhausted.

At this moment, Zhang Bu’s awe and fanaticism for Lin Yang reached their peak.

Just one substance brought out was so terrifying.

He dared not look again, nor ponder further.

Maintaining a respectful posture, he waited for Lin Yang to finish the treatment… Days and months passed, time flowed on.

In a flash, another month passed.

This morning, Zhang Bu was taking Shang Chengfeng to Lin Yang’s villa.

Suddenly.

“Chengfeng, Zhang Bu.”

Shang Qingluo appeared in front of them at some unknown point.

“Sister, why are you here?”

Shang Chengfeng called out in surprise.

“Miss Shang.” Zhang Bu, however, was startled.

Shang Qingluo smiled and said, “Chengfeng, for the past two months, it seems you’ve been spending most of every day at Your Excellency Lin Yang’s place. Sister was busy with some matters before and didn’t get to ask you, do you like Your Excellency Lin Yang that much? Do you have to go play every day?”

“Uh… Sister, Your Excellency Lin Yang is very kind to me, Chengfeng really likes playing with Your Excellency Lin Yang.”

Shang Chengfeng said obediently.

Zhang Bu also said, “Miss Shang, Your Excellency Lin Yang is truly very good to Young Master Chengfeng!”

“Oh… I have nothing to do today, so I’ll go with you.”

Shang Qingluo’s eyes flashed, and she smiled sweetly at Shang Chengfeng: “Chengfeng, Sister hasn’t played with you properly for many days. Shall Sister go with you to play with Your Excellency Lin Yang today?”

Hearing this, Zhang Bu’s heart leaped, and he couldn’t help but say, “Miss Shang, you’re going too?”

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Shang Qingluo looked at him.

“N-no.” Zhang Bu immediately shook his head, then looked at Shang Chengfeng with some nervousness, afraid that he might let something slip or insist on refusing Shang Qingluo’s company.

In that case, it would definitely arouse his Miss Shang’s suspicion.

However, Shang Chengfeng just tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, “Okay, Sister, then let’s go play with Your Excellency Lin Yang together!”

“…”

Seeing this, Zhang Bu didn’t know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or what, so he simply walked nervously towards Lin Yang’s villa.

He tried several times to secretly send a message to Lin Yang, but Shang Qingluo was always by his side, so he never found an opportunity.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Lin Yang’s villa.

“Your Excellency Lin Yang, Chengfeng and Sister are here to play with you!”

Before even entering, Shang Chengfeng shouted from the doorway.

Lin Yang turned his head, saw Shang Qingluo, who was extra today, and couldn’t help but smile: “Miss Shang, what a rare guest.”

“Heh heh, Your Excellency Lin Yang, if I’m not mistaken, this place seems to be… my home.”

Shang Qingluo smiled slightly, and without waiting for Lin Yang to say anything more, she continued, amidst Lin Yang’s slightly surprised expression:

“Your Excellency Lin Yang wouldn’t blame me for coming uninvited, would you?”
