Chapter 183: Using the Purgatory Again

After obtaining the remaining half of the spirit crystals, Ye Feng returned to the inn where he was temporarily staying. He converted 50 of the 450 mid-grade spirit crystals stored there into second-tier domain value. Ye Feng believed that if converting one million domain values at once carried a reward, then converting ten million might also yield one. So, he decided to store the spirit crystals for now and convert the domain value after selling all his goods, hoping to gain some privileges or other rewards later.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Feng took out a transparent container from the storage cabinet in the virtual realm—it was the same container that had held Xiao Yu before. Inside, Xiao Yu and Bernard were slowly waking up. Ye Feng carried the two little ones out. They looked at him with innocent expressions, seeming quite aggrieved.

Ye Feng patted their heads. “I’m sorry. The environment on this planet is too chaotic. If I release you, you’ll surely attract attention.”

“Xiao Yu, I plan to send you two to a place for training. It’s a bit dangerous, but it’s much better than keeping you in this container sleeping.” Ye Feng knew that although Xiao Yu couldn’t speak, it could basically understand what he said.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu nodded at Ye Feng, looking somewhat excited.

“I’ll send you and Little Bernard to the same place. He may not have much combat power yet, so at first, you might need to focus on protecting him. Of course, once he adapts to the environment and there’s no life-threatening danger, you shouldn’t interfere in his battles. I also hope he can learn to fight independently as soon as possible,” Ye Feng continued to say to Xiao Yu. “You’ll also need to find your own food during this time, because once I send you there, I won’t be able to enter, nor can I give you spirit crystals to eat.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu called out to Bernard, who was in a lazy posture, twice. Bernard slowly changed from lying down to sitting, then stared at Ye Feng blankly.

After finishing speaking, Ye Feng activated the Purgatory usage rights again.

“Purgatory usage rights—second time!”

“I want to put the two of them together for training!” Ye Feng said to the Purgatory.

“Unauthorized user—double the fee!”

“Alright!” Ye Feng had already read the relevant instructions earlier and was prepared for the doubled fee.

“Choose the usage time ratio!”

“1:1000”

“Choose the usage time!”
“Five hundred thousand for the second-level domain value; two little ones. Even at doubled cost, it should be possible to use it for 125 days! Converted to the time in the Purgatory, that’s over 340 years. That should be enough for the two little ones to move beyond their larval stage and enter the growth stage!”
“The corresponding domain value and time have been deducted.”
“Remaining cultivation attempts: one!”
“Remaining available cultivation time: 239 days!”
After sending the two little ones into the cultivation domain, Ye Feng adjusted their living environment, setting the strongest magical beast at the Yuan Ying stage. He was well aware that a magical beast at the Yuan Ying stage wouldn’t pose too much of a threat to Xiao Yu. But since it now had someone like Bernard as a burden, it could only reduce the difficulty initially. Once Bernard adapted and could hunt on his own after some time, it would still be possible to adjust the strength of the magical beast. After all, they would be in the cultivation domain for over 340 years.
After making a series of adjustments, Ye Feng still felt a bit worried. He spent a thousand domain values to activate the function of exploring outside the domain, tracking the progress of the two little ones’ strength.
On the first day, after entering the forest, Bernard seemed excited, as this place resembled the terrifying forest where it was born. It staggered to its feet and ran deep into the forest.
Xiao Yu, on the other hand, jumped from branch to branch, following behind Bernard, ensuring it wouldn’t be in danger according to the task Ye Feng had given it earlier.
However, Bernard’s reckless behavior quickly attracted the attention of other inhabitants in the forest.
A gray wolf at the Golden Core stage set its sights on Bernard, thinking this chubby little guy might taste good. It followed closely behind it.
Xiao Yu, in the air, naturally saw this scene, but it ignored it—whether out of disdain to intervene, believing Bernard could handle it on its own, or intending to observe Bernard’s reaction first.
But Bernard, the chubby little guy, wasn’t aware of what was happening behind it at all. It kept running happily, making sounds that sounded somewhat cheerful.
Suddenly, it tripped over a branch and tumbled, then struggled to get up.
The gray wolf slowly circled around it but didn’t attack rashly, perhaps fearing a trick.
When Bernard saw the fanged, drooling carnivore, it looked around but didn’t see Ye Feng or Xiao Yu. It immediately started wailing.

Seeing his reaction, the gray wolf guessed that this little creature must have accidentally gotten separated from its parents. There was no need to worry—it could just eat it. It leaped and pinned Bernard to the ground, its sharp teeth about to descend when a vine suddenly wrapped around its mouth. Seeing this, Ye Feng looked in surprise at the culprit—Bernard, with tears in his eyes, was gritting his teeth as if struggling against something. The vines grew thicker and tighter, eventually wrapping around the entire two-meter-long gray wolf. At that moment, a faint black aura spread from the vines, and Ye Feng heard the wolf’s agonized howls. In less than a minute, the vines retracted. The wolf trapped by them had turned into a pile of battered bones, with not even a trace of fur left. Bernard, on the other hand, let out a belch as if he had just eaten something, and his aura seemed to have strengthened slightly. Ye Feng wore a look of disbelief. “Plant and dark-type attack spells… Strange. It should have inherited only light and dark types from its parents. If lucky, it might also have talents in earth and water types. Where did the plant type come from? Could it be influenced by the Source of Life…” After confirming that the two little creatures had exceptional combat skills and talents, Ye Feng finally felt relieved and stopped monitoring them further. He wasn’t even sure how powerful these two little ones, already so formidable in their youth, would become after more than three hundred years of training…
