Chapter 132: Refining Spirits Again [5K]
"In that case, I will do as you wish."
Looking at the wooden box in front of him, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but feel a little certain.
Now that he has this Water Spirit Pearl, it should be enough for him to use until the early stage of Golden Core. At least he doesn't need to plan to upgrade to the Water Spirit Pearl before the middle stage of Golden Core.
Knowing this, Ye Linyuan calmly stood up and took the wooden box.
After getting this item, he looked at the two and said, "The Han family is powerful, and we cannot confront them head-on. While Ancestor Han has not returned yet, you should gather your clansmen and leave immediately."
Upon hearing this, the head of the Song family nodded solemnly.
He understood that the situation was urgent, so he urgently summoned several elders of the Song family and informed them of the current situation.
After hearing this, the faces of several people suddenly changed drastically. The elder of the Song family could not help but said in shock and anger: "Does the Han family really not remember the old friendship and insist on attacking us?"
"They have already attacked us. Great Elder, did you only find out about this today?"
The second elder had a gloomy look on his face, and said solemnly: "Let's not talk about the division of the family back then. He took away 80% of my Song family's spiritual fields and the second-level upper-grade spiritual veins. Have you forgotten what they have done in recent years?"
"Imposing more taxes, seizing my ancestral property, going back on their word about the foundation-building pills they promised to give our lineage, and even limiting the number of late-stage Qi training cultivators in my Song family."
The second elder spoke slowly and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes with every word he spoke.
Upon hearing this, everyone present showed expressions of indignation. Back then, the Song family was so prosperous. Not only did they have several foundation-building cultivators, but they also had over three thousand Qi-cultivating cultivators.
At that time, the Song family was full of strong men, and even though it was later eliminated, it still had a very deep foundation.
Logically speaking, as long as Ancestor Han protects the Song family for a little more than thirty years, the Song family will be able to produce new foundation-building cultivators with the ancestral property.
This was also the plan of the Song family's ancestor back then. The purpose of training Ancestor Han was just to give the Song family some time to buffer the transition.
At that time, the Song ancestor was approaching the end of his life and had suffered serious injuries. With no one in the family who could take up the responsibility, the family could only place the last hope on Han, their direct disciple and son-in-law.
Unfortunately, ever since the Song clan's ancestor passed away, the Song clan's foundation-building seeds have mysteriously died or failed to break through. The Song clan suspected very much that it was ancestor Han's doing.
But they didn't find any evidence, and facing the ancestor Han who had already established his foundation, they didn't dare to have any opinions at all.
Thinking back on all these years, almost every elder of the Song family had murderous intent in their eyes, and they vaguely guessed the reason for the continuous decline of the Song family.
They all understood the seriousness of the matter, so they quickly reached a consensus and decided to immediately gather their clansmen to flee the Tianmeng Islands and create a time difference with Ancestor Han.
So after a brief discussion, the Song clan ancestor spoke directly: "For now, we can't take care of the mortals in the family. We can only try to take away all the cultivators in the clan."
"Except for the floating wealth that can be taken away, all other real estate of the family will be abandoned."
"You all split up and call all the cultivators of the family to the back mountain immediately in the name of a clan meeting."
When everyone heard this, they all looked solemn.
Without any hesitation, they immediately withdrew and went to gather the tribesmen from the Tianmeng Islands one by one.
Soon, the first group of more than 20 people arrived here without knowing what was going on.
In order to keep the family secret, the head of the Song family did not give any explanation and directly let everyone board the Qingyu Breaking Sky Boat.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan said directly: "My treasure boat can only carry a maximum of 30 people at a time. I will secretly send them out of Tianmeng Islands in batches first."
"Try to transport as much as you can before they find out."
Upon seeing this, the Song clan leader immediately handed a map to Ye Linyuan and said, "We have a secret island in the deep sea outside the Tianmeng Islands. We originally thought of it as an opportunity to make a comeback in the future."
"Since we are going to retreat now, we might as well withdraw our troops here first. This way we can save some time."
"it is good."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and immediately took this group of people and Song Qingming and headed directly outside the Tianmeng Islands.
The Qingyu Sky-breaking Boat was extremely fast. In just half an hour, it traveled thousands of miles and arrived at the island two thousand miles away from the Tianmeng Islands.
The island here is only a dozen miles in size, but it has a first-grade superior spiritual vein, which is also a rare treasure land for ordinary Qi-cultivating immortals.
However, the deep sea is extremely dangerous and there are often attacks from monsters and beasts at the Great Perfection of Qi Training or even the Foundation Establishment stage. The Song family does not dare to move the entire family here, so it is only regarded as a backup place as a last resort.
With this transit station, things became much more convenient for Ye Linyuan.
In the next two days, Ye Linyuan ran around more than ten times and finally picked up all the more than 300 cultivators of the Song family.
"Finally escaped."
When the last group of people got off the Qingyu Sky-breaking Boat, Song Qingming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Here, Song Qingming informed everyone of the cause and effect, and then said with an extremely determined expression: "My fellow tribesmen, today we have lost our homeland and the industry we depend on for survival, but we have gained a glimmer of hope for the entire tribe."
"But I promise you that if a new foundation-building cultivator appears in our Song clan during my lifetime, we will definitely kill him back at all costs."
Ye Linyuan stood in front of the crowd, listening quietly to the Song clan leader's ambitious words, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He looked at Song Qingming and found that the gray power of luck on his body gradually dissipated, and the originally faint green light gradually appeared.
"The disaster is gone, and the destiny is noble."
"It seems that this person's foundation building will not be a big problem."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his mind, and a hint of interest appeared on his face.
He had a feeling that Song Qingming was a late bloomer, and in the future he would not only be able to break through the foundation-building stage, but might even have a chance to reach the golden elixir stage.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan patted Song Qingming on the shoulder, and then said: "You don't have to be too stressed. Today I got a rare treasure from your Song family. If the time is right in the future, I will help you to avenge your previous shame."
"..."
This time, the Song family was moved out of the Tianmeng Islands, and overall they suffered a serious blow.
They lost most of the family's assets and heritage, and only took away the Qi-cultivating cultivators in the clan. They also abandoned the mortal members of the Song family like a hero cutting off one's own arm.
You know, many of these mortals are their brothers and blood relatives.
But they had no other choice, because they knew very well that if their cultivators were still alive, the Han family was worried that the Song family cultivators would secretly retaliate against their low-level cultivators, and might be a little nicer to the Song family's mortals.
But if all of these cultivators were captured and killed, these mortals would probably be at the mercy of others, and their life or death would depend on the thoughts of the Han family cultivators.
At this time, the Song family immortals followed Ye Linyuan across the ocean and finally returned to the Seven Islands of Star Lake quietly.
In the coming period of time, they will be assigned to three of the seven islands in Star Lake. Each of these islands has a top-grade spiritual eye, which, combined with a top-grade spirit gathering array and a spirit locking array, produces astonishing spiritual energy.
In addition, ever since the karst cave spirit eye on Yejia Island was promoted to a second-level spirit spring, the spirit veins of the seven islands of Star Lake have also been promoted to second-level spirit veins, and their ability to breed spiritual energy has therefore been greatly increased.
Many new spirit eyes were born in the seven islands of Star Lake. Although these spirit eyes were only of medium and low quality, their total number was nearly a hundred.
There are not many cultivators in the Ye family at present, and they do not look down on these middle and low-grade spiritual eyes, so the Song family can also obtain the right to use these spiritual eyes.
With these three top-grade spiritual eyes, plus nearly a hundred mid- and low-grade spiritual eyes, it should be more than enough to satisfy the cultivation needs of more than 300 Qi-cultivating monks of the Song family.
After all, the Qinghe Immortal Sect only has two second-level spiritual veins, which can satisfy the cultivation needs of the four foundation-building cultivators and thousands of Qi-refining cultivators, and can also be rented to outside cultivators to break through the middle and late stages of Qi-refining.
Even though the Ye family's second-level spiritual vein is a bit lower in level, it is more than enough to satisfy three or four hundred Qi-cultivating monks.
Let's get back to the point. After settling the Song family, Ye Linyuan told the Song clan leader, "Ancestor Han will definitely reach the realm of false elixir within 20 years. Before that, they will definitely plan for a foundation-building opportunity."
"During this period, all of you members of the Song family should try not to go out, so as not to bring disaster upon yourselves."
The Song clan leader nodded, and then discussed with the clan elders for a while, and finally looked at Ye Linyuan and said: "Thank you for your help, but we also have some requests, and hope to get your permission?" "Oh, but you can say it."
Ye Linyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he had some vague guesses about the purpose of the Song clan leader.
The Song clan leader saw this and said, "We have a little heritage in the Song clan, and there are many people in the clan who have mastered the various arts of cultivation, so we also want to use this precious land to cultivate spiritual fields."
"can."
Ye Linyuan nodded and had no objection to this.
The Song family of immortals will stay in the Seven Islands of Star Lake to practice in the future. They will definitely not be able to sit back and do nothing. They must earn resources for practice by practicing the various arts.
All the arts of cultivation require materials as a foundation.
Nowadays, the spiritual energy in the outside world is thin, and it is almost difficult to produce rare treasures. Reclaiming spiritual fields is the best way to cultivate spiritual plants and obtain various materials.
Knowing this, Ye Linyuan said, "It should be no problem to cultivate a hundred acres of spiritual fields on the three islands."
"I can also provide you with all the spiritual shells and the formations for cultivating spiritual fields. You can settle down here first, and in the future, you only need to hand over 10% of your harvest as rent for the spiritual fields."
Upon hearing this, the elders of the Song Immortal Clan breathed a sigh of relief.
As a strategic asset, spiritual fields are basically not available for rent in the outside world. Even if one has connections to lease spiritual fields, one generally has to hand over 30% of the harvest as rent.
Such low rent as the one offered by the Ye family is a very profitable business for them. It is several times lower than the taxes collected from them by the Han family.
It can be said that this time the Ye family not only saved their entire clan, but also gave them a place to settle down, which can be said to be the utmost kindness.
Thinking of this, the head of the Song clan immediately bowed and said, "From now on, I will rely on you to take care of me."
"My Ye family has a second-level shell field, these are just trivial matters."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and after giving some instructions to the Song family members, he said goodbye to them.
He returned to Yejia Island and came to the cave spirit eye, and immediately took out the wooden box containing the water spirit beads.
"Rare water spirit pearl."
Looking at the rare water spirit bead in front of him, Ye Linyuan took it out with a little excitement.
He tore open the hidden spirit talisman, and immediately saw the rare water spirit pearl shining brightly, emitting an incomparably gorgeous and magnificent light.
"Such a powerful spirituality, worthy of being a second-level rare treasure."
Looking at the rare water spirit bead in front of him, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and felt fortunate that he had practiced the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong.
In the world of cultivating immortals, rare treasures have been extremely rare since ancient times, and letters that are in line with one's own rare treasures are even rarer.
The Cangling Sea is rich in rare treasures with water attributes.
It was also because of this that Ye Linyuan was able to encounter the Bright Moon Shell, the Canghai Spring, and this second-grade rare and top-grade Water Spirit Pearl one after another.
If it were the Chixiazhou of Nanling in the previous life, the probability of encountering such rare treasures with water attributes would probably be ten times lower than that in the Canglinghai immortal world.
Because water-attributed rare treasures are scarce in Chixiazhou, Nanling, even if you can get a rare treasure of other attributes, it would probably be difficult to exchange it for a water-attributed rare treasure of the same rank.
The Cangling Sea is just the opposite. There are many rare treasures with water attributes here, and the probability of exchanging them for rare treasures suitable for water magic is much higher.
Take this second-tier rare water spirit bead as an example. Once such a treasure came out of the Chixiazhou in Nanling in the previous life, it would definitely attract many Jindan masters to fight for it, and the foundation-building cultivators would not be qualified to touch it at all.
However, in the world of immortal cultivators in Cangling Sea, rare second-order water spirit beads are relatively common. Therefore, if the foundation-building cultivators have enough opportunities, they may have the opportunity to seize such treasures.
"Rare items with water attributes are not particularly scarce in the Cangling Sea."
"It seems that my cultivation path will be a little easier in the future."
Ye Linyuan's mind was floating, and then he grabbed the rare water spirit bead and immediately activated the spirit refining technique to start refining it.
With the cultivation level at the initial stage of foundation building, it seemed quite difficult to refine the second-level rare treasure. This time, Ye Linyuan finally spent nearly a month before he succeeded in completely refining the rare treasure.
"Om-"
As the second-level rare water spirit bead was completely refined, Ye Linyuan suddenly felt a change in the true energy in his body.
A true energy far exceeding the previous one gradually manifested, and finally swirled continuously in his body, swirling in his body like a mighty river.
"Success."
Sensing the true energy in his body, Ye Linyuan whispered in his mind, and then smiled.
After refining the Water Spirit Pearl this time, his true essence underwent a qualitative change far beyond the previous one, and it was an all-round qualitative change.
The overall changes can be roughly divided into three aspects: the quality of true essence, the speed of cultivation, and the difficulty of breaking through bottlenecks.
Among them, the change in the quality of true essence was the greatest. After refining the second-level rare water spirit beads, Ye Linyuan's true essence quality doubled, reaching a basic level comparable to the strength of gold-attributed true essence.
If the quality of Ye Linyuan's true essence was one before, then the strength of Ye Linyuan's true essence is two now. If he continues to cultivate the Sixth Revolution Condensation Essence Technique, then the final quality of his mana should be able to reach .
The quality of this true essence is far inferior to the Fire Sea Golden Lotus Technique of the previous life, but it is much stronger than Old Man Ye's Golden Light Fiery Art, which is a gold and fire attribute technique at the foundation-building level.
In addition to the quality of his true essence, Ye Linyuan's cultivation speed has also greatly improved.
Originally, he could only cultivate one true essence every year, but now he should be able to cultivate three true essences. Even if his magic power in the early stage of foundation building is three times that of an ordinary cultivator, he should be able to complete the early stage of foundation building in a little over thirty years.
Finally, the effectiveness of the Water Spirit Pearl in assisting in breaking through bottlenecks has also been greatly increased. After Ye Linyuan has refined this substance, there will be no bottleneck before breaking through the late stage of foundation building in the future, and the success rate of breaking through the golden elixir will also increase by 30%.
"The quality of the basic true essence has doubled, the speed of basic cultivation has tripled, and the bottleneck of breaking through the Golden Core Realm has been greatly reduced."
"The improvement in the quality of my true essence has made my strength soar. The increase in my cultivation speed can save me a lot of time in cultivation. If I take the Xuanyuan Pill, it will only take about 20 years to reach perfection in the initial stage of foundation building."
"The probability of breaking through the bottleneck has increased, and maybe it can also slightly increase my probability of cultivating a superior golden elixir."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his mind and couldn't help but smile.
This time when refining the rare Water Spirit Pearl, what he valued most was actually the doubling of his cultivation speed.
The power of the Cang Hai Ming Yue technique is too strong. It is one of the slowest ancient techniques to practice, and its consumption of practice resources is also very alarming.
Generally speaking, when practicing ancient martial arts such as Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, one can rely on the help of the sect and family in the early stages, and use a large amount of elixirs to reach the foundation-building stage.
After the middle and late stages of foundation building, when the thickness of magic power gradually becomes terrifying, it is necessary to quickly improve your cultivation through the path of swallowing.
As long as one devours a cultivator with similar cultivation level or one level lower, he can save decades or even hundreds of years of hard training.
After reaching the Jindan realm, if one swallows a fellow practitioner at the Jindan realm, his cultivation level will probably increase dramatically immediately.
There are very few people who are proficient in the Hundred Arts of Cultivation. In the Foundation Establishment Stage, they can rely on the Hundred Arts of Cultivation to make up for the needs of cultivation. However, after reaching the Golden Core and Nascent Soul Stages, they must follow the Path of Devouring the Dao in order to significantly improve their cultivation.
Because after reaching the Golden Core Realm, the power of the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong will be ten times that of the same level, and the Golden Core Great Perfection will be thirty times that of the same level.
With such powerful magic power, even after reaching the Golden Core stage, one can practice the exclusive secret technique "Wanchuan Guihai Jue" which greatly increases the speed of cultivation, but it still cannot fully meet the needs of cultivation.
There is no other reason. In this era, the environment of heaven and earth is no longer the same as in ancient times.
After Cang Hai Ming Yue has cultivated his skills to a high level, practicing the method of swallowing the Tao is the only way to go further.
PS: I came back late from the hospital today, and there will be another update later
