Chapter 151: Promotion of Spiritual Veins [asking for monthly tickets and subscription] "The clan leader summoned the two of us?" Hearing the words of the person in front of him, Ye Chongyun was slightly stunned. He couldn't help but look at Ye Yingxu who was standing beside him, and then asked Ye Linze in front of him: "Seventh Uncle, is Yingxu going too?" Without waiting for his answer, Ye Yingxu said, "Uncle Qi, please lead the way." While Ye Chongyun was puzzled, the group came to the family hall and saw the figure in white clothes as white as snow. The first close contact made the two feel that the person in front of them was unfathomable. They immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, clan leader." "Ah." Ye Linyuan nodded, then looked at the two of them carefully. After a moment of silence, he said, "You both have good qualifications and will definitely become the pillars of my Ye family in the future." "I called you here today because I want you two to become true disciples of my Ye family."
Upon hearing this, both of them showed a hint of surprise. They suppressed their surprise and immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, clan leader, for your cultivation." Seeing this, Ye Linyuan casually took out an ancient scripture and gave it to Ye Chongyun, saying, "Your body is extraordinary. This volume of [Xuantian Zhenshan Jue] is a secret of my Ye family's immortal clan. I think it is very suitable for your body." "Thank you for the generous gift, clan leader." Ye Chongyun quickly took the Xuantian Zhenyu Sutra and answered with some surprise. Ye Linyuan couldn't help but nod slightly when he saw this. The origin of this Xuantian Zhenshan Jue was extraordinary. It was a volume of magical body-refining skills from the ancient times. It was said that it was divided into three volumes, namely Xuantian Zhenshan Jue, Xuantian Zhenhai Gong, and Xuantian Zhenyu Sutra. Although Xuantian Zhenshan Jue is only the first volume, it can also be cultivated to the state of great perfection of the golden elixir. It is considered to be the most common superior body-refining technique passed down between heaven and earth. The Xuantian Zhenhai Gong is the second volume, which can be cultivated to the state of Nascent Soul Great Perfection. The last volume of the Xuantian Zhenyue Sutra has disappeared for many years, and now only a few words are left. It is very likely that the inheritance was cut off in the late ancient times. As far as Ye Linyuan knew, it was said that if the Xuantian Zhenyu Sutra was cultivated to the extreme, he might be able to tear apart the ancient true spirits with his physical strength, and could be compared with the top true spirits of heaven and earth such as the Golden Winged Dapeng. Of course, Ye Linyuan did not inherit either the second or third volume. Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan encouraged: "This volume of skills has an extraordinary origin. I hope you can practice well and don't let me down." Having said this, Ye Linyuan glanced at Ye Yingxu again and said, "Since you have already obtained that volume of skills, you don't need any other methods of cultivation." "How about this, from now on, on the first day of every month, you two will come to Yejia Island to listen to my sermon for a day." "..." After meeting the two true disciples, Ye Linyuan resumed his peaceful life of cultivation. In the following years, in addition to his daily practice and care of the spiritual fields, he began to secretly cultivate second-level spiritual springs and earth veins on the deserted island in the deep sea. Time flies so fast, and three years have passed before I knew it. Until this day, Ye Linyuan slowly finished his training and took a deep breath.
"Second-level middle-grade body refining." Ye Linyuan sensed the physical strength in his body and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Because of the help of several kinds of elixirs, his physical cultivation has been progressing rapidly since he broke through the second level of body refining. Especially in recent years, he has refined the flesh and blood of three demon crocodiles in the early stage of foundation building into flesh-refining pills, thereby rapidly improving his physical cultivation. Now that he had completely digested this batch of Flesh Refining Pills, his body refining skills had finally reached a level comparable to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. “At this point, progress will be slow.” "Next, we can only wait until the spiritual field is expanded and the scale of the four kinds of body-refining spiritual medicines is expanded to accelerate the improvement of physical body cultivation." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart. He knew very well that after reaching the middle stage of foundation building, the progress would be much slower. If you want to break through to the late stage of foundation building and body refining, it will take about 30 years if there are sufficient resources. If there are not enough resources, you may never be able to make it. "For now, the second-level middle-grade body refining cultivation is enough." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart that after his physical training had a breakthrough, his combat power should be able to increase by another half through the dual cultivation of body and magic. Originally, although his strength was comparable to that of the late foundation building stage, his overall strength, especially his attacking means, was not outstanding among the seventh level of foundation building. Now he should be able to make up for it slightly. After his body became stronger, his ability to survive was improved to a small level again. "From now on, your physical training will become your trump card and should not be easily exposed to others." Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then put away all distracting thoughts, stood up and left Yejia Island, heading towards the outside of Xinghu Islands. After arriving outside the Xinghu Islands, Ye Linyuan quietly came to a deserted island in the deep sea. He looked around here, and after confirming again and again that there was no one around, he immediately stepped into the deserted island. After stepping onto the deserted island, the surrounding scenery suddenly began to change. The interior of the deserted island turned out to be a second-level spiritual island with abundant spiritual energy. "The second-level spiritual spring is finally done." Looking at the second-level spiritual spring in front of him, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but feel a little relieved. This place was originally a deserted island in the deep sea with a first-grade superior spiritual vein on it. It was later secretly taken over by Ye Linyuan, who invested a batch of spirit gathering beads to upgrade the spiritual vein. After more than a year of accumulation, the spiritual vein here has finally stabilized and has been completely promoted to a second-grade lower-grade spiritual spring. "The inspiration is strong and it's time to pick it." Ye Linyuan opened his mouth slowly, then took out a set of thirty-six formation flags with a flick of his sleeve and arranged them one by one in this spiritual vein. This formation is called the Tiangang Soul-Snatching Formation, which can absorb the power of spiritual veins to condense spirit beads. It is composed of a total of thirty-six second-level low-grade formation tools. In order to set up this formation, Ye Linyuan paid a high price, consuming almost all the spiritual silk produced by the water silkworms in the past few years, and even purchased a few taels from Lingsang Liu. It stands to reason that there is a certain probability of failure when using the Tiangang Soul-Snatching Array to extract soul veins and condense soul beads. Fortunately, Ye Linyuan had cultivated spiritual veins many times in his previous life, and had also drawn spiritual veins to condense spiritual beads many times, so this time he was familiar with the process.
But he continued to offer up formation flags, and then used his true energy to fully activate this set of formation flags. In an instant, the spiritual energy in the spiritual vein began to condense continuously under the blessing of the formation, and gradually turned into a dazzling spirit gathering bead. This process was quite long. After seven days, the spiritual spring here was drained out, and finally a second-grade lower-grade spirit-gathering bead was successfully condensed. "It worked in one go, not bad." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and couldn't help showing a look of satisfaction. He took the Spirit Gathering Pearl, and then collected the Spirit Gathering Array, the Spirit Locking Array, the Spirit Ascending Array, and the Tiangang Spirit Capturing Array, and then went to the other side. After an unknown amount of time, he found another deserted island in the deep sea, where there was also a small second-grade inferior spirit vein that he cultivated. This time Ye Linyuan used the same trick again, and after another seven days, he once again obtained a second-grade, lower-grade spirit gathering bead. "not bad." After collecting the second-grade inferior spirit gathering beads and the formation, Ye Linyuan found two more deserted islands to set up the spirit raising formation, and then returned to Yejia Island again. With two second-grade low-grade spirit gathering beads, Ye Linyuan immediately came to the spiritual spring in the valley, set up a spirit-raising formation there, and threw both spirit gathering beads into it. "All we have to do now is wait." After successfully setting up the Spirit Ascension Formation, Ye Linyuan couldn’t help but heaved a sigh of relief. With the spirit gathering beads and the spirit upgrading array, the spiritual vein here will be upgraded to the second-grade mid-quality within a year. By that time, the gathered spiritual energy will increase several times, and it may even allow the spiritual vein of Xinghu to be upgraded to a large second-grade mid-quality spiritual vein. The so-called spiritual veins have always been divided into different scales. For example, if both are second-level spiritual veins, the one with only one spiritual spring is definitely a small spiritual vein, while the one like the Ye family that has nine spiritual springs is a large second-level spiritual vein. Large-scale second-order spirit veins are relatively rare. The spiritual energy they provide is several times that of small spirit veins. They can supply the cultivation of many foundation-building monks, and are therefore suitable to be the residence of large sects and families. A small spiritual vein only has one spiritual spring, so it is more suitable as a place for casual practitioners. After the formation was successfully set up, Ye Linyuan realized that Zhou Yuwan and Chu Lingxi had been waiting for a long time, so he smiled and said, "Once the Spirit Ascension Formation is successfully set up, you can start to break through to the middle stage of foundation building." Zhou Yuwan and Chu Lingxi couldn't help but smile when they heard this. Ye Linyuan is seventy-five years old this year, and he has been in the foundation-building stage for thirty years without realizing it. The two of them started to establish their foundation eleven years later than Ye Linyuan. Now they have been practicing for nearly twenty years and have accumulated almost enough magic power. In a year, they should be able to reach the middle stage of foundation building. Thinking of this, Zhou Yuwan couldn't help but say: "Once we succeed in breaking through, maybe we can start planning and kill the enemy of the Young Master's Avenue." "Ah." Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "I have calculated recently, and I vaguely feel that those people have not given up. I am afraid that we will face a fierce battle soon." At this point, Ye Linyuan took a deep breath and said, "Try to delay it for a few more years, so that the outside world can misjudge the time it will take for me to break through to the middle stage of foundation building." After dealing with this matter, Ye Linyuan resumed his retreat, preparing to improve his cultivation. But this time, not long after Ye Linyuan's retreat, he was interrupted by a piece of news. "Friend Yu, long time no see, you have grown old."
Ye Linyuan sat upright on the main seat, looking at the hunchbacked old man in front of him, a hint of emotion in his eyes. It turned out that the person in front of him was none other than Taoist Yu, the seventh elder of the Qinghe Immortal Sect. When this man first met Ye Linyuan, he was only in his seventies. In the blink of an eye, nearly sixty years had passed, and Taoist Yu was now over one hundred and thirty years old, becoming a hunchbacked old man with declining energy and blood. At this time, Taoist Yu, with a head full of silver hair and a haggard appearance, bowed respectfully to the ground and said, "Senior Ye has a profound cultivation. I am now a decayed wood, but you are still as brilliant as ever." "It is the greatest honor in my life that I can still see the appearance of my predecessors today." Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan nodded slightly. He looked at Taoist Yu in front of him, and after a long pause, he asked, "I heard that you came to see me for an opportunity." "Exactly." Taoist Yu nodded, and then said solemnly: "I have discovered an opportunity, which seems to be very important to you, so I came here to tell you today." "Oh?" Ye Linyuan's eyes moved slightly, and then he said, "What opportunity made you not hesitate to use up the favor you had made in the past and come to meet me in person?" "A second-grade, top-grade Canghai Pearl." When Taoist Yu opened his mouth, his words were shocking. For a moment, Shui Hanqing on the side was slightly stunned, and couldn't help revealing a hint of surprise. The so-called Canghai Pearl is a special kind of Water Spirit Pearl. It is much rarer than the Water Spirit Pearl and its effect is three times more special. The most important thing is that the Canghai Pearl can assist in cultivation, and it is even more effective for practitioners of the Canghai Mingyue Gong. Generally speaking, a second-grade top-quality Canghai Pearl can double the speed of practicing Canghai Mingyue Gong, greatly shortening their practice time. However, Ye Linyuan had already refined the Water Spirit Pearl, and most of the functions of the two overlapped, so he naturally looked down on the Cang Hai Pearl. Of course, Ye Linyuan did not directly explain it, but asked: "Where did you hear about the second-grade Canghai Pearl?" "In recent years, our Yu clan has been wandering outside and it is really difficult to survive. I have no choice but to go on a deep-sea adventure." Taoist Yu spoke slowly and gradually explained what had happened. It turned out that Taoist Yu had risked diving into the deep sea to hunt monsters for the sake of his family over the years, and as a result, he discovered a second-grade, top-quality Canghai Pearl. That Canghai Pearl caused a lot of fighting among the monster tribes. In the end, a monster snake from the Heikui Islands was the winner and took it to the Heikui Islands. "Heikui Islands?" Ye Linyuan frowned slightly, and his eyes showed a thoughtful look. Taoist Yu nodded, and then said: "I know you need this thing, so I passed this message to you." When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other. Seeing this, Ye Linyuan said, "The news you brought is indeed very important to me. I wonder what reward you need?" "younger generation."
Taoist Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, "The ancestor told me that I hope you can help us to build a small second-level lower-grade spiritual vein after the task is completed." "I understand." Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "If it succeeds, I will not treat you unfairly. You go down first." When Taoist Yu left, everyone present sneered. Chu Lingxi sneered and said indifferently: "The Canghai Pearl is quite precious, but it just happens to appear in the Heikui Islands, which is closest to us. It's too coincidental." "This is an open conspiracy. In their eyes, the Cang Hai Pearl is something I cannot do without." Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, with a look of indifference on his face. If he had not obtained the second-level rare water spirit bead, he might have really tried every means to seize the Cang Hai Pearl. However, after obtaining the rare water spirit bead, the Cang Hai Pearl became just an unnecessary thing. Those present were all core members of the family, and they probably knew that Ye Linyuan had a rare water spirit bead that aided in his cultivation, so they were not interested in the Canghai Pearl at this time. Shui Hanqing hesitated for a moment, then asked, "The other party has already laid down the bait, how should we deal with it?" "No hurry, just hold off a little longer." Ye Linyuan spoke slowly, and then said: "Wait another ten years, until the three of you break through the middle stage of foundation building, and consolidate your cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, then we can make some plans." "When the time comes, we can attack in the name of a war between humans and demons, and just in time to seize the black gold mine without attracting the attention of the Black Dragon Demon Realm." Hearing this, everyone nodded. Ye Linyuan has coveted the black gold mine for many years and has always wanted to take action against the Heikui Islands, but he has never found a suitable excuse. Now that I have the Canghai Pearl, I have a reason to take action. In addition, the Heikui Islands have always been the archenemy of the Xinghu Islands, and wars break out between the two sides approximately every sixty years. Now, fifty years have passed since the last war between humans and demons. Ten years later is the perfect time to start another war. "On the surface, we launched this war to consume the excessive number of monks." "From the perspective of the outside foundation-building forces, we were forced to break into the conspiracy set up by Yue Muchen and others in order to seize the Cang Hai Pearl." "But with these two superficial excuses, we can just secretly plan the Xuanjin mine and get the opportunities in the Xuanjin mine." Zhou Yuwan spoke slowly and leisurely, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth. Chu Lingxi also nodded and said solemnly: "If we were to attack the Black Kui Islands during normal times, it would likely arouse the suspicion of the Black Dragon Demon Territory." "But with this excuse, even if we take down the Heikui Islands, they won't think anything more about it." Shui Hanqing also nodded, but frowned slightly and said: "But in this way, we may not be sure to defeat them together." Hearing him say this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but frown slightly. The Meng family, the Liang family, Yue Muchen, Su Shaoyu, and Xuanling Sanren are all powerful forces, and now they are suspected to have joined forces with the Heikui Islands, Yu Laozu and many other foundation-building cultivators. If you think about it this way, the other party must have been planning for many years and would stop at nothing to kill him.
Moreover, the other party is likely to take Minghuang Jianzi and Wuyun Sanren into account, which means that the Chixia Sect is likely to secretly send forces to obstruct these two late-stage foundation-building cultivators. "There is indeed some trouble." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and after a long while he spoke: "So before we take action, we must make adequate preparations, even if it means exposing some of our trump cards." Having said this, Ye Linyuan's eyes showed a solemn look. He retracted his gaze, and then after lingering for a while, he stood up and said, "The Xuanyuan Fruit is about to mature again. When it matures, I will make Xuanyuan Pills and use them all to exchange for various war supplies." After making up his mind, Ye Linyuan immediately began to prepare for the battle. Half a month later, he picked all the Xuanyuan fruits and then went to the Tianxing Sword Sect. As usual, Ye Linyuan rented the Earth Fire Room to refine pills. This time, he refined a total of 4,208 pills, with a success rate of about 70%. Such a high success rate of pills proved that Ye Linyuan's alchemy skills had reached the pinnacle of a second-grade superior alchemist, and he was only one step away from becoming a quasi-third-grade alchemist. "After the breakthrough in my cultivation, my alchemy skills have also recovered a lot." Ye Linyuan whispered in his mind, then put away the batch of Xuanyuan Pills. After coming out of the underground fire room, Ye Linyuan found that Minghuang Jianzi had been waiting for a long time. This was not the first time the two had worked together, and they could be considered old friends. When Minghuang Jianzi saw him coming out, he made him a cup of tea and asked, "How was it this time? How did you feel?" "My alchemy skills have improved a bit, and the harvest this time is pretty good." Ye Linyuan took the teacup and took a sip, then continued, "Based on your intelligence channels, I guess you also know that news?" "I've heard a little bit about it." Minghuang Jianzi nodded, and then said, "But I'm afraid the Chixia Sect won't let me take action." "I think so." Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "But the Chixia Sect has stopped you twice. I don't think you will tolerate it again with your temper, right?" "You are quite clever." Minghuang Jianzi smiled and then said, "They keep reaching out their hands one after another. They are really too arrogant. We have long wanted to find an opportunity to see if we can chop one off." "But the Hei Kui Islands are in the Black Dragon Demon Realm after all. We can't interfere too much to avoid causing fear among the Black Dragon lineage. At most, we can stop those in the late stage of foundation building. As for the Cang Hai Pearl, it depends on your own methods." Ye Linyuan suddenly felt relieved, then said with a smile: "As long as there is no late foundation building cultivator intervening, I can at least escape this battle unscathed." Minghuang Jianzi nodded and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then just go ahead and do it." (End of this chapter)
