Being able to sense the existence of spiritual energy gave Ye Fan a huge advantage over traditional ancient martial artists, marking his path of cultivation as unique. Ye Fan's rate of cultivation was extremely fast, no longer necessitating the time accumulation that even geniuses among traditional martial artists required.
However, there were downsides too. Ye Fan needed medicinal materials and spirit stones, which were what Long Ao referred to as Yuan Stones. Ye Fan's consumption was several times that of an ordinary martial artist. Therefore, Ye Fan was now craving for cultivation resources, which had even become his sole pursuit. He was eager to know just how powerful he could become after reaching the Heavenly Level, and what lay beyond that.
