Chapter 9: Cave Spirit Eye Years of experience in fighting allowed Ye Linyuan to dodge the attack like a conditioned reflex. He then casually thrust out another attack with the Gengjin needle, which intertwined with the purple electric light on the spot, and a tiny blood flower burst out instantly. "Bam—" With a slight sound, the purple light fell to the ground. Ye Linyuan cautiously stepped back to keep some distance, then looked up and found that it was a small purple snake. "Purple-scaled demon snake." Ye Linyuan's brows wrinkled slightly. The purple-scaled snake was a poisonous snake and the target of Old Man Ye's trip. He didn't expect to meet it here. Fortunately, the cultivation level of the purple-scaled demon snake in front of him was not high. It seemed to be only at the initial stage of Qi training, and it should have just broken through not long ago. "hiss--" The Geng gold needle had extremely strong piercing power and had severely injured the purple-scaled demon snake, but it did not kill it on the spot. At this time, the purple-scaled demon snake was seriously injured. It looked at Ye Linyuan with great fear in its pupils, and then turned around and swam away into the distance.
Ye Linyuan originally wanted to kill him on the spot, but he quickly gave up the idea. "Let's keep it alive for now and follow it to see what happens next." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart that if he was a young and inexperienced person, he would probably have killed this purple-scaled demon snake. However, based on his experience in his previous life, monsters do not live in places without treasures. They are actually very similar to cultivators. If they want to break through their cultivation, they also need help from spiritual veins or spiritual stones. The spiritual energy on Yejia Island is thin, and except for the existing spiritual eyes, it is difficult to breed monsters in other places. Obviously, this purple-scaled snake must have some kind of opportunity, otherwise it would not have been possible to advance to the Qi training stage. Seeing the purple-scaled demon snake fleeing, Ye Linyuan followed it slowly, and unknowingly came to a corner deep in the valley, in front of a pool at the edge of the valley. When it arrived at the pool of water, the purple-scaled demon snake immediately wanted to hide in it. But at this moment, Ye Linyuan acted decisively. The Geng golden needle turned into golden light and pierced through its head, killing the purple-scaled demon snake on the spot in front of the pool. “It should be here.” After killing the purple-scaled demon snake, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but smile. He looked back and around, and found that the pool of water was close to the mountain wall. It was only about ten feet wide, but more than three feet deep. A small stream extended out of it, which was one of the water sources for irrigating the hundred acres of spiritual fields. He looked carefully and found that the water did not come from the cliff, but from the cracks in the rocks at the bottom of the mountain. What surprised Ye Linyuan even more was that there was actually a trace of spiritual energy in the pool. "It seems that there is probably another world behind this pool of water." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then put away the purple-scaled demon snake and stepped into the pool with some caution. In fact, it was a bit risky to step into the pool rashly, but after all, he mastered the shortcut magic, so he was not afraid even when facing the monster in the middle stage of Qi Refining. Moreover, Ye Linyuan is experienced and knows very well that a small island like Yejia Island cannot breed a demon beast in the middle stage of Qi Refining. After all, the spiritual energy here is too thin. Even Ye Qinyang and others cannot break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining here, so it is naturally impossible for the monsters to achieve a breakthrough here.
After entering the water, Ye Linyuan soon discovered that there was an underground river in the pool, which seemed to be connected to the underground water deep in the cliff. Upon discovering this, Ye Linyuan immediately swam carefully to the depths of the underground river, swimming along the underground water for about a hundred feet, and finally he arrived at an underground cave. He walked out of the dark river, climbed onto the underground cave space, and immediately showed a hint of surprise. This is actually an underground cave with a radius of more than ten feet. It is located in the mountain of Yejia Island and is connected to the inside and outside by an underground river. At the core of this underground cave, there is a spring full of spiritual energy, emitting pure spiritual energy. “I never thought that there would be such a secret spiritual eye in this mountain.” "If the chalcedony rice hadn't attracted the purple-scaled demon snake, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find the location of this spiritual eye." Ye Linyuan was extremely surprised and showed a rare hint of joy. Similar to the Ye family's spiritual eye, this is also a low-grade spiritual eye that can only produce a wisp of spiritual energy every day, but it can solve the big problem of insufficient spiritual energy in the Ye family's practice. "With my Qi training level, I can only refine a wisp of spiritual energy every day. Perhaps I can give up the spiritual energy of the Ye family's spiritual eye." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, but shook his head after a moment. For a small Qi-cultivating clan, the value of a low-grade spiritual eye is extremely high. Once exposed, it is likely to attract the attention of others. Given the Ye family's current strength, it is better to keep a low profile. "Let's keep this place secret for now and consider it after Old Man Ye comes back." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and then when he came to the spiritual eye, a smile appeared in his eyes. But in the spiritual eye, there was a dazzling blue-white pearl slowly floating up and down, as if it was constantly transforming the surrounding water vapor into spiritual energy. "First-level rare treasure, Water Spirit Pearl." Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, revealing a rare hint of surprise. In the world of immortal cultivation, most of the things used by cultivators are refined from spiritual materials. Spiritual materials are divided into different grades, and each grade can be roughly divided into four qualities, namely spiritual objects, spiritual treasures, exotic treasures, and rare treasures. Among them, spiritual objects have the lowest value and are considered the most common spiritual materials. Strictly speaking, chalcedony rice is also an ordinary first-level spiritual object. Lingzhen is the best quality among spiritual materials. If it is planted in a spiritual field and cultivated by a spiritual farmer, often one spiritual treasure can be born among ten spiritual objects, and its value is often about three times that of the spiritual objects. Exotic treasures are extremely rare. Generally speaking, they are variants of spiritual treasures, and they often require extremely skilled spiritual cultivators to cultivate them, and the probability of successful cultivation is frighteningly low. Take the chalcedony rice planted by Ye Linyuan as an example. Even with his level of a quasi-second-level spiritual plant husband, he planted more than a hundred chalcedony rice plants in an acre of fertile land, but he was not sure of cultivating a chalcedony rice of the rare treasure level. Generally speaking, the top-grade magical instruments used in the later stages of Qi training are basically made from first-grade spiritual materials at the level of rare treasures. As for the rare and precious treasures above that, they are rare treasures among spiritual materials. They are one in ten thousand among the spiritual materials of the same level, and they require the right time, place and people to come into the world. Generally speaking, if one wants to cultivate a first-order spiritual plant of rare and precious level, one often needs to cultivate both the Spirit Rain Technique and the Spirit Nourishing Technique to the near-path level. Coupled with spiritual fields full of spiritual power, spiritual seeds with extremely high potential, high-level spirit gathering formations, and various opportunities, there is a possibility of success. With Ye Linyuan's current level of spiritual plant cultivation skills, even with sufficient geographical and timing advantages, it is obviously impossible to cultivate any rare treasures.
