Chapter 26: Exhaustion of Earth's Power Ye Linyuan nodded, said nothing more, and returned to the fertile fields in the valley. After returning to the valley, Ye Linyuan looked at the acre of fertile land in front of him, and thought of the aggressive Lin family immortal clan, and could not help falling into deep thought. "It seems that some preparations need to be made." Ye Linyuan was in deep thought. He opened Shui Hanqing's letter, carefully read it and pondered it for a long time, and finally put it away slowly. In the following period of time, Ye Linyuan focused his attention on growing spiritual rice. To date, it has been more than three months since the first acre of chalcedony rice was planted, and it looks like it will only take another month or so to mature. This kind of spiritual rice can be harvested three times a year, and the speed at which it matures is already very amazing. This is because Ye Linyuan's ripening method and spirit-nurturing technique have reached the Mahayana realm. If it were replaced by an ordinary first-rank low-grade spirit-plant farmer, even if he planted spirit-ear rice in the spirit field, he would probably only be able to achieve one harvest a year. Of course, the yield of spiritual rice in the spiritual field is several times higher than that in the good fields. The yield of one crop is probably more than three crops of this acre of good field. Moreover, it is possible to cultivate spiritual rice of the level of spiritual treasure or even rare treasure in the spiritual field. The transformed things in that spiritual rice are all special supplies for the foundation-building cultivators.
Having said that, under Ye Linyuan's careful care, this acre of fertile land finally matured. About a month later, Old Man Ye and others helped harvest this batch of spiritual rice, and finally produced about 52 kilograms of chalcedony rice. "It's a full fifty-two kilograms. The yield has increased by nearly 60% compared to before. It's worthy of being the chalcedony rice grown from spiritual seeds." After harvesting this batch of Lingsui rice, Ye Qinyang showed a look of surprise. Even Ye Linyuan smiled and said, "This is the maximum yield of fertile land. Unless we open up spiritual land, the yield will have reached its limit." Having said that, Ye Linyuan looked at the acre of fertile land under his feet, but found that the spiritual energy in the land was almost exhausted and the fertility had been almost used up. "The soil fertility of this acre of good land is on the verge of exhaustion, and it has turned from good land into wasteland." Ye Linyuan shook his head and sighed, "If we let it recover on its own, we won't be able to grow spiritual rice within 30 years." Ye Qinchu's expression changed slightly. Even with Ye Linyuan's level of spiritual planting, he still needed good farmland to barely grow spiritual rice. But fertile farmland is extremely rare, and once it becomes wasteland, it will probably take a long time to recover. Thinking of this, Ye Qinchu couldn't help but look at Ye Linyuan and asked, "Nephew Linyuan, do you have any way to help him recover?" "If you use the Spirit Rain Technique to keep it warm and nourish it regularly, and then add a large amount of minerals and fertilizer, it may be able to recover in three to five years. However, I don't have that much true energy at the moment, nor do I have that many extra minerals." Ye Linyuan shook his head, and then said: "Before the fertility of these hundred acres of fertile land is exhausted, we must cultivate our own spiritual field." Having said this, Ye Linyuan put away the more than 50 kilograms of chalcedony rice and prepared to use it for cultivation. These fifty-plus kilograms of Lingsui rice are full of spiritual energy, enough for Ye Linyuan to eat for nearly two months. By then, it should be able to help Ye Linyuan gain more than an extra 150 strands of true energy. Not long after the spiritual rice was harvested, a piece of bad news suddenly came out, shocking the Ye family. "Lin Shengwu, a breakthrough!" In the main hall of the Ye family, Old Man Ye informed everyone of the news, causing everyone present to be shocked. He handed a letter to everyone, and then said: "With two great Qi training masters in one family and a genius like Lin Xuanhe, it seems that the Lin family is a sign of great prosperity."
The others all looked solemn when they heard this. Two people in the late stage of Qi training in the same family was a sign of great prosperity for the Lin family, but it was definitely not good news for the Ye family. Once the Lin family wants to monopolize the Seven Star Lake Islands, the Ye family will most likely be driven out of the Seven Star Lake Islands and become a lost cause. The old man Ye looked around at everyone and said, "The Lin family invites us to go to Chixing Island next month to discuss the ownership of the seven islands in Xinghu." "Discuss the ownership of the seven islands of Star Lake?" Ye Qinchu's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "Are they really going to do it and drive us all out of the Seven Islands of Xinghu?" Everyone present had a slightly changed expression. Ye Qinyang pondered and asked, "What's the situation with the Qian and Zhang families now?" Old Man Ye shook his head, and then said solemnly: "Now the Lin family has two great Qi training masters. We can't fight them with our strength." "Qian Bo Ran and Zhang Dao Yang mean that the six of us should pay a sum of money and ask the Liu family of Di Yan Island to come out and administer justice." Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan frowned slightly, and then he remembered the origin of the Liu family. The Liu clan is a large Qi-cultivating clan around the Seven Islands of Star Lake. This lineage has more than 30 Qi-cultivating cultivators and one great cultivator in the late Qi-cultivation stage. Their strength is almost the same as that of the previous Lin clan. Moreover, the Liu family is closer to the Seven Islands of Star Lake, so inviting them to come and balance the power of the Lin family is a good choice. After all, once the Lin family rises, if they want to expand their sphere of influence beyond the seven islands of Star Lake, they will most likely threaten the Liu family. But Ye Linyuan didn't think that the Liu family was willing to completely fall out with the Lin family for the sake of the Seven Star Lake Islands. As a former Jindan powerhouse, Ye Linyuan knew too well the characteristics of the major forces. Most cultivators would not be willing to fight to the death with a strong man of the same level. Because the Qigong masters are the foundation of the Qigong family, once they are injured or suffer losses, they will inevitably become someone else's meal. Just like a ferocious beast, most of them will give in when encountering an opponent of the same level and will not let themselves get hurt easily. The Liu family is not as powerful as the Lin family. If the Lin family takes a tougher stance, the Liu family, with its slightly weaker strength, will most likely retreat at the last minute. Unfortunately, even though he understood this, Ye Linyuan didn't say anything more. Because he knew very well that this was probably the best solution for the six major families in the seven islands of Xinghu. "A weak family ultimately has no choice." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then looked up into the distance, as if waiting for something. Seeing this, Old Man Ye at the side hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" "nothing?" Ye Linyuan shook his head, and then said, "Thank you for taking care of this matter, Grandfather." Old Man Ye nodded, and then said, "In this case, I will go and discuss with the five major families to see if I can ask the Liu family for help." After Old Man Ye left, Ye Linyuan also returned to the valley. Then he planted chalcedony rice while waiting for something. (End of this chapter)
