Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 394: Why Not Eat Minced Meat


"..."

"..."

No one spoke.

The onlookers from afar were equally silent, and the entire Heavenly Power Peak fell into a deathly silence.

You looked at me, I looked at you, and everyone thought they were dreaming. Even Yu Ying, with her smiling expression, was completely frozen; her first reaction was that she was dreaming.

Her second reaction was, has Jiang Feng gone mad?

Her third reaction...

Could it really be a bridal dowry? I was just joking, did you actually bring out the bridal dowry?

Her face was full of question marks.

Jiang Feng was also dumbfounded, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit strange for a moment.

"Why isn't she saying anything?"

"No, is it because the Mysterious Moon Pipa isn't good enough? The problem is that these two people both play musical instruments, and the styles look similar, so there shouldn't be much difference, right?"

"Or is it that the grade is too low? That shouldn't be it, an Earth Rank middle grade should be enough for her, right? Oh, I get it, it must be that this pipa's quality doesn't match up to the one she currently has; it's redundant."

Everyone had their own thoughts and bright futures.

From this, it was revealed that Jiang Feng was still somewhat lacking in cultivation knowledge. The speed of his cultivation was too fast, and his pace of crossing ranks was even faster, which led to his incorrect understanding of resources in the Cultivation World. According to his perception, everyone should have an Earth Rank magical treasure, because the people he interacted with basically had decent treasures.

But...

This is the thought process of a foolish, wasteful young lord.

Magical treasures are divided into four grades, with three ranks in each. Excluding the Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow grades, there's also the legendary Immortal grade treasure, which isn't categorized within the four grades, while the upper, middle, and lower ranks are even more detailed.

At first glance, it seems like everyone has an Earth Rank magical treasure, like the Hehuan three sisters he knows, both the current and former ones, or the brothers and sisters in the same sect, such as Gu Chenwei and his three brothers, including Yun Xiyin. Speaking further afield, for example, there's the Mountain River Fan held by Xuan Yinzi...

This undoubtedly gives the illusion that Mysterious Rank treasures are as common as dogs, and Earth Rank treasures are everywhere, but the reality is quite the opposite.

Not to mention Earth Rank, in today's Cultivation World, as long as a treasure reaches Mysterious Rank, it's enough to cause a scramble. Earth Rank treasures are already enough for two significant forces in the Cultivation World to go to war, and there are countless examples in the mortal world where countries were destroyed because someone in the Royal Family had a high-level treasure.

There's only one reason why such an illusion is created.

That is the level.

The level that Jiang Feng is currently at, and the people and events he can access at his social status, compared to three years ago and three years later, this is noticeable at a glance. Back then, he only had the qualification to access Yellow Rank treasures and cultivation techniques. Comparing once again with the people around him, you could see that others haven't changed much.

Even Yan Fengchun, who comes from the Royal Family, had the family heirloom Mysterious Rank Vajra Umbrella three years ago, and it is still the Mysterious Rank Vajra Umbrella now. However, because his performance in this year's Martial Arts Convention was outstanding, he also had the opportunity to select an item from the Gathered Yuan Pavilion, but that was just Mysterious Rank middle grade at best.

His family naturally has Earth Rank treasures, but those items are directly enshrined in the ancestral shrine and passed down through generations, considered the family's deepest heritage. Meanwhile, take a look at the elderly Great Elder of the Taixu Sect, the usual magical treasure in his hand is only of Earth Rank. When Liu Tangxi chipped a small piece of it off, it pained him immensely.

According to the countless experiences and evaluations of predecessors in the Cultivation World, disciples at or below the Foundation Establishment Stage only truly utilize the abilities of a Yellow Rank magical treasure. Even if you were given a Heavenly Rank magical treasure, you couldn't use it, and it might even have a counterproductive effect. There are countless examples of people unable to withstand the backlash of a magical treasure's power.

The Core Formation Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage are the realms where the ability to master Mysterious Rank treasures is considered to be acquired. The power of magical treasures is far greater than Jiang Feng imagined, and even being able to fully unleash the power of an ordinary magical treasure can completely suppress an opponent of the same realm.

And Earth Rank magical treasures naturally need not be mentioned.

They are prepared for those at the Divinity Transformation Stage and above.

Prepared, not yet usable, just like the Mysterious Moon Pipa Jiang Feng threw out just now, which is Earth Rank middle grade and of excellent quality. Even Yu Ying now doesn't dare to claim she could wield sixty percent of its power.

If this item were given to Yun Xiyin, she'd probably barely be able to wield thirty percent of its power. The same goes for the Joyful Sect's Ying Ling, who, despite being at the Peak of Core Formation, could only wield thirty percent of the power of her Joyful Ring and Pearl of the Celestial Lake, which is nearly identical to Yun Xiyin.

Even the Mountain River Fan Jiang Feng used against Yun Xiyin, with him operating the Demon Heart Technique, only wielded about thirty percent of its power. Otherwise, a single charge of the array-breaking assault or a thousand-ton boulder would be enough to instantly kill the head disciple of Yuzhu Peak.

The kind of instant kill they couldn't be rescued from in time.

The reason for this phenomenon is because most people Jiang Feng currently encounters are either rich or noble, or they have a prestigious background that surpasses or matches him.

Yan Yurou and Cen Yueyue, one is the closed-door disciple of the Great Elder of the Taixu Sect and a future leader of the Taixu Sect, while the other is the future inheritor of the Cen Family Village in Southern Border's seventy-seven counties, the Southern Border Saintess; it makes sense for them to have Earth Rank treasures on them.

The Hehuan Sect's Jin Yintong sisters come from the oldest lineage within the Hehuan Sect and possess inheritance treasures. Jin Yuan, who was earmarked as the future sect master, has already achieved middle grade Core Formation at sixteen. It makes sense for her to have a sect-inherited treasure in her hand.
