Chapter 130 Rising Sun Sword【5K】
"it's me."
Ye Linyuan smiled, and then revealed his true form.
Song Qingming could not hide his shock. After checking Ye Linyuan for a long time, he could not help but said with a shocked expression: "Brother Ye, no...Senior Ye, you are actually a foundation-building cultivator?"
"I was lucky. I had a lucky breakthrough not long ago."
Ye Linyuan smiled, picked up the tea and was about to take a sip.
Song Qingming hurriedly stopped him and said flatteringly, "Senior Ye, please wait a moment. I will go and change the tea."
After he finished speaking, Song Qingming personally brewed a cup of tea for Ye Linyuan, and this time it turned out to be a cup of top-quality spiritual tea.
In response to this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but smile slightly, and then looked at Song Qingming and said: "I see that your cultivation has progressed quite a bit in recent years. It seems that you will be able to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi training soon."
"How can it compare to your rapid cultivation?"
As Song Qingming spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
His aptitude is also three spiritual roots, which stands to reason that he is not outstanding among the top Qi-training immortals, but the Song family has lost its talent of this generation, and no new two-spiritual-root immortals have been born, so he is still highly valued in the Song family.
Unfortunately, over the years, the Song family has gradually gone downhill.
As the life of the foundation-building senior from the Tianmeng Islands was coming to an end and he rarely cared about worldly affairs, the situation of the Song family of immortals became increasingly precarious.
Especially in the past thirty years, the Han family, a foundation-building family in the Tianmeng Islands, gave birth to the second foundation-building cultivator. The new foundation-building cultivator coveted the legacy of the Song family and was no longer willing to protect the Song family.
This made the Song family's situation even more difficult. In recent years, they had been repeatedly exploited by the Han family and had lost a lot of resources and industries.
Song Qingming was not having a good time either. The resources his family provided him were becoming less and less. If he had not been in charge of the Song's pharmacy over the years and had not received some extra income every year, his cultivation would have been severely impeded long ago.
But these resources alone could not support him to cultivate to this level. The real reason for his improvement in cultivation was that in recent years he would often take advantage of his rest time to join some like-minded friends to hunt monsters overseas.
Hunting monsters is extremely dangerous. Song Qingming’s strength is not that strong, so he can only get a little leftovers from others each time.
From Ye Linyuan's perspective, these leftovers were better than nothing, but Song Qingming was lucky enough to survive.
In comparison, the people who have accompanied Song Qingming in the sea over the past thirty years have been replaced by one batch after another without him noticing, and many of them have died in battle at the hands of monsters.
Fortunately, Song Qingming was lucky and managed to survive every time he went abroad. Over time, he was able to live a pretty good life relying on these leftovers.
Although he is not wealthy and usually lives a very poor life, fortunately he can meet his daily needs for practice.
“Good luck, but it’s not necessarily just good luck.”
Ye Linyuan's mind moved slightly. He believed that he could survive once or twice by luck alone, but someone who could survive every time was definitely not someone who relied solely on luck.
Luck is just an accident. Prudence, planning, layout and means are the key to a person's ability to preserve himself.
Of course, Ye Linyuan had no interest in exploring the reason why Song Qingming was able to survive. After all, anyone who had achieved success in cultivation had more or less his own opportunities, and he didn't want to scheme against this person who was considered a half-friend.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan took a sip of tea, and then said, "You and I have been friends for thirty years, so there is no need to be so polite. From now on, you should call me Brother Linyuan."
"No, the seniority cannot be messed up."
Song Qingming waved his hands quickly, and then couldn't help but asked with a smile: "You broke through the foundation this time, and came here to purchase some second-level spiritual objects."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then asked, "You have been in Tianxing Fairy City for many years. Have you ever heard of any news about Water Spirit Pearls of the second-grade upper grade or above?"
When Song Qingming heard this, his pupils shrank slightly, but then calmed down in an instant.
But he gave a bitter smile, then shook his head and said, "The Cangling Sea is not short of water-attributed cultivation resources, and the Water Spirit Pearl can be considered a relatively common spiritual treasure."
"But the second-grade upper-grade water spirit beads and above are not something that a mere Qi-cultivating cultivator like me can find."
Ye Linyuan nodded. He just asked casually, thinking that this person might not have the Water Spirit Pearl in his hand.
But after a brief pause, he remembered that Song Qingming had a good fate but a bleak luck, so he couldn't help but say, "You seem to be being ostracized in Tianxing Fairy City?"
"Without the support of the foundation-building monks, a shop like ours will naturally be exploited."
Song Qingming smiled bitterly, revealing a hint of helplessness.
In response, Ye Linyuan nodded slightly, and then said after a moment of hesitation: "My Ye family has just become a foundation-building immortal family, and now the family is still in need of reconstruction."
"My Ye family produces a lot of first-level elixirs and various spiritual treasures every year, but we don't have time to sell them in Tianxing Fairy City. How about we cooperate?"
When Song Qingming heard this, he immediately showed a look of surprise.
But he took a deep breath and then said, "How much discount are you willing to give?"
"As usual, I'll give you a 95% discount."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, a smile appearing in his eyes.
Today, Ye Linyuan is taking care of a hundred acres of spiritual fields. Logically, he does not have extra time to plant first-grade low-quality spiritual plants, but the Ye family has more than one spiritual plant farmer and alchemist.
Among them, there are three spiritual plant husbands, namely Shui Hanqing and two disciples of the Ye family.
Among the three, the two Ye family disciples can only be regarded as lower-grade spiritual plant husbands, but Shui Hanqing is a genuine first-class upper-grade spiritual plant husband.
Ye Linyuan planned to reclaim another 20 acres of spiritual fields and hand them over to these three people to take care of, mainly to grow some yellow bud pills and spiritual medicines for sale.
This would not only supplement the family's cultivation resources, but also allow Shui Hanqing to be self-sufficient in meeting his own cultivation needs.
It would be difficult to digest these resources produced by the Qinghe Islands alone, and the selling price in Tianxing Fairy City is often higher than that in the Qinghe Islands.
By handing the products over to the Song’s Pharmacy for sale, it could save the cost of renting a shop and labor costs, and it would also save Ye Linyuan a lot of trouble and effort.
"% off."
After hearing Ye Linyuan's words, Song Qingming couldn't help but reveal a look of ecstasy.
The purchase price at a 95% discount does not mean a very high profit for him, but the materials in Tianxing Fairy City can often be sold at a premium, so there can be some profit after deducting the rent and various costs.
The most important thing is that once he can do business for the foundation-building immortal clan, the Ye family, it is almost equivalent to finding a backer for himself.
In the future, the number of monks who exploit him will surely be greatly reduced, which will save a large amount of expenses every year and also provide him with greater security.
Thinking of this, Song Qingming couldn't help but bowed in surprise and said, "Senior Ye is willing to cooperate with our store for a long time. Our store is naturally very happy. Qingming will definitely sell you good spiritual treasures in the future."
"Well, that's settled then."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and without staying here any longer, he got up and left Song’s pharmacy.
After leaving the pharmacy, Ye Linyuan went directly to the depths of the market town, where he found the Lingsang Pavilion of the Liu family's immortal clan.
After thirty years, Lingsang Pavilion is still the same Lingsang Pavilion, but the manager in charge of Lingsang Pavilion has long been replaced.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Where is the previous shopkeeper Liu?"
The person in charge of receiving Ye Linyuan was an old cultivator who had reached the great perfection of Qi training. It seemed that he was over a hundred years old. When he saw Ye Linyuan asking this, he couldn't help but said with a face full of shame.
"It's embarrassing to say that it's hard to air family disgrace in public."
The old shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly, and then couldn't help but sighed, "You're not afraid of being laughed at by your seniors. Liu Zhixun embezzled the family property. He was only the shopkeeper of Lingsang Pavilion for 30 years, but he actually embezzled more than 4,000 spirit stones."
"Now he has been killed by the clan leader, and all his property has been confiscated."
When Ye Linyuan heard this, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.
As far as he knew, the patriarch of this lineage of the Liu family was the most talented person in the Liu family in hundreds of years, and was a genius who had cultivated a superior Taoist foundation.
Legend has it that this person established his foundation at the age of thirty. Now, he is only over one hundred and forty years old, but his cultivation has reached the eighth level of foundation building. In the future, there may be a glimmer of hope for him to break through to the golden elixir stage.
Such a genius was originally a child of destiny, but the fact that he defeated Liu Zhixun made Ye Linyuan look at him with a higher opinion of him. Because Liu Zhixun was the grandson of the great elder of the Liu family, and the great elder's cultivation was also as high as the late stage of foundation building. This person was able to easily defeat the grandson who had the support of the great elder, which showed that he was not only good at practicing, but also had a very strong hand.
"The head of the Liu family seems to be one of the ten most talented foundation-building cultivators in the Tianxing Sea, and he is ranked in the top three. I'm afraid he is even stronger than Minghuang Jianzi."
Ye Linyuan's mind was floating, and he couldn't help but feel a little solemn.
The golden elixir seeds raised by this kind of foundation-building family are not comparable to ordinary cultivators in terms of talent and foundation. I am afraid that they can kill an ordinary foundation-building early stage cultivator within a few moves.
With Ye Linyuan's current cultivation level, if he encounters this enemy, he can only use the Green Jade Sky-Breaking Boat to escape.
"At such a young age, he has already reached the late stage of foundation building. Even compared to my previous life, this person is almost the same."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart and couldn't help but think of his past life.
In his previous life, he broke through the foundation building stage at the age of 28, and broke through to the late foundation building stage at the age of 105. He was only slightly stronger than this person.
"This person's talent and skills are indeed not weak, but whether he can break through the Jindan realm depends on his luck and his own opportunities."
Ye Linyuan's thoughts were floating, and then he put them all away.
He looked at the old shopkeeper in front of him, and then asked with a smile: "I came here today to buy some second-level spiritual silk. I wonder if the store has any stock?"
Upon hearing this, the old shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Second-level spiritual silk is precious. Our Liu family generally does not sell it to the outside world casually. Generally, it needs to be customized."
"But our clan leader will also attend this barter meeting. He should be able to sell spiritual silk at that time. Why don't you take a look at it at the barter meeting?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan nodded slightly, and then said, "If that's the case, then I understand."
Having said this, Ye Linyuan did not stay any longer and left Lingsang Pavilion directly.
Seeing that the barter conference would not start for a few days, Ye Linyuan wandered around Tianxing Fairy City for a few days.
In Tianxing Fairy City, he sold some extra spiritual objects, including some sundries seized from Ancestor Qian, and finally obtained more than a thousand spiritual stones.
At this point, he had accumulated about two thousand spirit stones.
"Two thousand spirit stones should be more than enough to buy a set of formations."
Ye Linyuan felt slightly relieved, and then stayed in the market town for a few more days until the day of the barter conference.
The foundation-building level barter conference is completely different from the previous one. This barter conference is held in a luxurious loft in Tianxing Fairy City.
Almost all those who participated in the barter conference were cultivators at the foundation-building stage, and they were all well-known figures in the Tianxing Sea.
Although Ye Linyuan attended the event for the first time, he was still respected by the organizers.
After arriving at the attic, Ye Linyuan immediately noticed the gazes of everyone present. He saw that most of the foundation-building cultivators around him looked at him, and many of them were whispering.
"Is this Ye Linyuan?"
"It is said that this person cultivated a superior foundation. He killed Taoist Qian with one move right after he established his foundation. His methods are extremely powerful among our generation."
"I don't think so. The reason why Elder Qian was killed was mainly because he consumed a lot of his true energy in the process of attacking the formation, and he was trapped by the formation for a moment. Otherwise, this person might not have been able to kill him."
"No matter what, to be able to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this person's skills must be close to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment."
Obviously, as a newly promoted foundation-building cultivator, and having killed a foundation-building cultivator with just one move, Ye Linyuan has become the focus of the crowd.
Ye Linyuan remained calm and composed despite everyone's comments. He calmly observed his surroundings and checked the situation of these foundation-building monks.
In addition to Ye Linyuan, there were more than eighty foundation-building cultivators participating in this exchange conference.
In the entire Tianxing Sea, there are dozens of foundation-building forces, large and small, and almost all of them have cultivators at the foundation-building level participating.
In addition to Ye Linyuan, there were two newly promoted foundation-building cultivators in the crowd, and they were the focus of everyone. They were Taoist Zi Yu and Meng Changfeng.
In the battle that year, with the help of Taoist Zi Yu, Meng Changfeng seized a portion of the Cang Hai Spring, which enabled him to cultivate the superior Taoist foundation 'Autumn Water and Long Sky'. His strength was considered top-notch in the early stage of foundation building.
After Taoist Zi Yu was rescued by Ye Linyuan, the Meng clan could only give him the Zi Yang Fire Jade according to the contract.
Taking this opportunity, Taoist Zi Yu was able to change his fate and break through to the foundation-building stage, and with a very domineering superior Taoist foundation - Purple Yang Heavenly Fire.
"Three high-level Dao base masters have appeared one after another. This year's Tianxing Sea Region can be said to be full of geniuses."
Everyone was observing the three people, and each of them couldn't help but reveal curiosity.
The three of them also looked at each other, their expressions were calm, but they all had some guesses in their hearts.
"It is said that when this person broke through, there was a vision of a bright moon in the sky. Could this person be my fellow practitioner?"
Meng Changfeng whispered in his heart, with a hint of murderous intent in his heart.
Taoist Zi Yu looked solemnly, thinking of the time of Ye Linyuan's breakthrough and the vision of the Nine-Sky Bright Moon, and couldn't help but have some guesses in his mind.
But guesses are just guesses after all. Before there is definite news, he can't really explore it, unless the person in front of him speaks in person one day.
Ye Linyuan stood in the middle of the field. He didn't care about Meng Changfeng. Taoist Zi Yu might guess something, but it wouldn't be a big problem.
Not to mention that Taoist Zi Yu is unlikely to leak the secret, even if he leaked the information about those treasures, others would not really believe it.
If one believes others' words based on just a few words, then wouldn't high-level cultivators be easily deceived by low-level cultivators to deal with their enemies?
When you encounter a powerful enemy, you only need to slander him for having treasures at the Jindan or even Nascent Soul level. Doesn't that mean that all Jindan and Nascent Soul cultivators will take action to kill him?
This is impossible. Everything requires evidence. In the absence of sufficient evidence or reasonable doubt, most high-level monks will scoff at these rumors.
After all, everyone is capable of throwing dirty water. As long as someone wants to spread rumors secretly, every foundation-building cultivator present can be suspected of possessing a peerless treasure.
Furthermore, most of those who can break through the foundation-building stage probably have their own opportunities.
Getting back to the topic, after confirming that there would not be any major problems with his own safety, Ye Linyuan focused his attention on the barter conference.
At this time, in front of the high platform of the barter meeting, a man in green clothes walked onto the stage.
"Rising Sun Sword—Chu Dongyu."
Looking at the man in front of him, Ye Linyuan's brows moved slightly, and he quickly recognized this man's origins.
Dongyu refers to the morning, symbolizing the beginning of a day and new hope. For people in this world, this sentence also comes from the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng.
Chu Dongyu wields the Rising Sun Sword and is the leader of the ten great sword masters of the Tianxing Sword School. He is known as the number one genius in the Tianxing Sea.
Legend has it that this person is the direct descendant of the Golden Core Patriarch of the Tianxing Sword Sect. He practices the superior Taoist foundation - the Rising Sun, and his cultivation has reached the state of great perfection in foundation building.
There are even rumors that this person is a fellow practitioner of the Chixia Sect's first direct descendant, and is also the key to the increasingly deteriorating relationship between the Tianxing Sword Sect and the Luoxia Sect.
"Everyone, let me start this barter meeting."
Just as Ye Linyuan was thinking about this person's origins, Chu Dongyu spoke calmly.
But he showed dozens of rare treasures with a flick of his sleeves, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, I don't accept spiritual stones in transactions. If you have suitable treasures, you can send a voice message to exchange with me."
Ye Linyuan looked at those treasures and his brows twitched slightly.
This Chu Dongyu is worthy of being the first direct descendant of the Jindan Immortal Sect. The treasures in his hands are truly amazing.
Among the more than thirty treasures in front of him, the lowest ones were second-grade lower-quality treasures, among them there were also middle-grade second-grade treasures, and there were even three second-grade upper-quality spiritual objects.
In addition, there are several rare and precious first-grade items.
Unfortunately, Chu Dongyu only accepted barter, and Ye Linyuan was reluctant to exchange his few second-level treasures with him.
PS: There is another chapter in the works, which will be updated a little later.
