Chapter 144 The Great Plan [5K]
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, not worrying too much about it.
He is already sixty-two years old this year, and he has been building his foundation for seventeen years. With the blessing of the Xuanyuan Pill and the refining of the Water Spirit Pearl, his cultivation has progressed rapidly in recent years.
By now, he had cultivated eighty-five lines of true essence. According to his current cultivation speed, he would be able to reach perfection in the initial stage of foundation building in about five years at the latest.
If he breaks through to the middle stage of foundation building by then, his strength will surely improve significantly, and it should be no problem for him to be comparable to the late stage of foundation building.
By that time, the threat posed by this old blood soul ghost will be much reduced.
Of course, the most crucial thing is that Ye Linyuan can see from the hexagram that this person attaches great importance to his only weakness and will probably not take the risk of offending them easily.
Realizing this, Ye Linyuan withdrew his gaze and then salvaged all the black sharks on Black Shark Island.
Unfortunately, the flesh and blood of the demon sharks are too smelly to be used or used to refine precious pills. Even their bones are cartilage of low value. Ye Linyuan could only take out some materials such as shark fins, and finally obtained a batch of lower-middle-grade second-level refining materials.
Finally, Ye Linyuan made an estimate and found that the total value of the materials of one black shark monster in the late foundation building stage and five in the early foundation building stage was less than five thousand spirit stones.
The only thing worth mentioning was the six complete shark skins he got. According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, they could be used to tan hundreds of second-level talismans, or to refine a complete set of second-level six-leaf sails.
The second-level sail is the core material of the second-level spirit ship. Acceleration formations and defense formations can be arranged on it, greatly improving the sailing speed and defense capability of the second-level spirit ship.
A complete set of second-level six-leaf sails can even allow a second-level treasure ship to escape from the sea and transform into a second-level warship capable of patrolling the sky, greatly improving the survivability and speed of the second-level treasure ship, which is worthy of a second-level mid-quality treasure ship.
Ye Linyuan planned to keep it and use it to refine the second-level treasure ship in the future.
After harvesting these materials, Ye Linyuan searched the Black Shark Island and found a batch of rare treasures, including two first-level rare treasures and five second-level elixirs and ores.
The second-level spiritual medicine ore is quite precious, but in Ye Linyuan's opinion, it is just an ordinary thing.
The two rare treasures are both water-attributed spiritual objects, one is a first-level rare water spirit bead, and the other is a first-level rare blood spirit grass.
"In the Cangling Sea, there are indeed more water-attributed spiritual treasures."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Of these two treasures, the Water Spirit Pearl is naturally needless to say, while the Blood Spirit Grass is the most beloved treasure of the demon clan. Legend has it that it can enhance the demon clan's bloodline and increase the probability of transforming into a rare spiritual beast.
In addition to this first-level rare blood spirit grass, Ye Linyuan also found hundreds of ordinary blood spirit grasses in the lake.
Most of these blood spirit herbs were only of the middle or lower grade of the first rank, but there were also more than ten rare blood spirit herbs, which seemed to be spiritual medicines specially cultivated by the Black Shark clan.
"It seems that after returning, we can strengthen the bloodline of the golden monkey clan."
Zhou Yuwan couldn't help but smile as he picked these spiritual herbs.
As a quasi-second-level spirit beast husband, she has been cultivating the golden-haired monkey clan for many years and has developed a deep affection for them. Now with these blood spirit herbs, the possibility of blood mutation of the golden-haired monkey clan will be greatly increased.
In response to this, Ye Linyuan nodded slightly. If the bloodline of the golden-haired monkey clan transformed and all of them mutated into golden-backed giant apes, then by selecting the best from the best, they should be able to breed a group of second-level golden-backed giant apes.
The golden-backed giant ape in the foundation-building stage will be an excellent material for cultivating second-order Taoist soldiers.
The Jindan cultivator who was proficient in the art of Taoist soldiers and was killed by Ye Linyuan in his previous life, had thirty-six second-order Taoist soldiers at the foundation-building level.
After these Taoist soldiers formed their array, their power merged into one, and they could work together to fight against the Jindan masters. If Ye Linyuan wasn't so powerful that he could have forced his way through the Taoist soldiers' array and killed the Jindan cultivator, I'm afraid that ordinary Jindan cultivators would not be his match.
"It would be impossible to cultivate golden-backed giant apes on a large scale with only the blood spirit grass."
"But if we add a large-scale black gold mine, it may be possible to make all the golden monkeys mutate into golden-backed giant apes."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and couldn't help but have some thoughts about the Heikui Islands again, but he suppressed them for the time being.
After all, the Hei Kui demon is the descendant of the Black Flood Demon King. Even if he is only a collateral descendant with impure blood, he is not an ordinary foundation-building demon. Therefore, the attack on the Hei Kui Islands must be taken seriously.
If he attacks the Heikui Islands, even if the Black Dragon Demon King will not care, the foundation-building demons under his command may still retaliate.
"We can't rush the Black Gold Mine. We need to at least break through the middle stage of foundation building and be able to defend the Black Gold Mine before considering taking it."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart. He knew very well that time was on his side and there was no need to take risks for a black gold vein.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan collected his thoughts and looked into the lake.
But at this moment, the lake trembled, and then a vortex of spiritual energy that covered the sky and the sun continued to circulate, which was obviously the aura that was impacting the foundation.
It turned out that seeing that they had completely taken over the Black Shark Island and the Five-Colored Mysterious Snail was already trapped, Taoist Wuyun simply did not stop him from breaking through.
The Five-Colored Black Snail was completely focused on the breakthrough, and was unaware that the battlefield outside had already ended. It made a full effort to break through, and soon succeeded in breaking through, and was finally promoted to the second-level foundation-building demon clan.
Unfortunately, just as he broke through, he was caught by a soul-binding net and became a turtle in a jar.
"Ugh."
Taoist Wu Yun looked at the five-colored black snail and couldn't help but sighed and said, "You and I are both miserable people, but I will kill you today. Whether you have hatred or resentment, even if you curse me, I, Wu Yun, will bear it all."
"farewell!"
In the resentful eyes of the Five-Colored Black Snail, Taoist Wuyun killed it and then put it into his storage bag.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan stood up and said, "It's almost time. If we stay any longer, we might be surrounded and attacked by the big monsters in the Black Dragon Monster Domain."
"it is good."
Taoist Wuyun nodded, and immediately flew towards the distant void with everyone.
They flew at high speed all the way and unknowingly crossed thousands of miles of sea.
"You cunning human race, dare to come to my Black Dragon Demon Territory and act recklessly, then you all should stay here."
But at this moment, a streak of light suddenly flew out from the sea behind, and it turned out to be a huge black snake with wings on its back.
The red-feathered black snake flapped its wings and flew into the air. From a long distance, it summoned a red firebird and flew into the air, bombarding the two men directly.
"It's the Akaba Black Snake."
The moment he saw the black snake, Ye Linyuan's expression suddenly changed. He immediately used all his strength to activate the Pure Moonlight, manifesting a sword of moonlight all over the sky and slashing towards the back.
Taoist Wuyun also made a full effort, sending out a stream of five-colored light across the sky, which collided with the red firebird of the red-feathered black snake.
But the Red-Feathered Black Snake was worthy of being the direct descendant of the two Golden Core Demon Kings. The magical power of the Fiery-Feathered Firebird was so powerful that it completely blew away the full-strength attacks of the two men, and still retained most of its remaining power to kill everyone.
Zhou Yuwan, Chu Lingxi and Shui Hanqing, the three foundation-building masters, did not dare to be negligent upon seeing this, and immediately used their full strength to cast their Taoist spells to assist the two, thus resisting most of the power of the Fiery-Winged Firebird's magical power.
"Bloodline magical power is indeed powerful."
Seeing the Red Feather Black Snake coming, Taoist Wu Yun's face suddenly changed, and he finally couldn't help but said: "Brother Red Feather, we came here just to kill the enemy of the Great Dao, and we have no intention of making enemies with the nobles."
"Please be lenient and let us go."
"You want to run away after killing the monster? Do you think I can come to the Black Dragon Monster Territory whenever I want?"
The red-feathered black snake flapped its wings and flew into the air, then turned into a stream of red light and pounced towards everyone.
Faced with such an attack, Ye Linyuan did not dare to be negligent at all. He directly summoned the Yuanchen Water Control Flag to block everyone into the formation.
But the red-feathered black snake didn't care at all and rushed into the formation brutally, like a dragon sweeping across the vast water, wanting to kill Ye Linyuan completely here.
"The gap in cultivation is too big."
Ye Linyuan felt a little depressed and for the first time he looked solemn.
He knew very well that it was not because the Yuanchen Water Controlling Flag was not powerful enough, but because his cultivation was far inferior to that of the Red Feathered Black Snake. This formation alone could not suppress the Red Feathered Black Snake's arrogance.
So Ye Linyuan made an all-out effort, summoning the Nine-Sky Bright Moon and the White Moon's Splitting Light, and cast down one Mahayana spell after another as if he didn't need any magic power at all.
After taking several attacks in succession, the Akafue Black Snake was forced to be unable to fight in close combat, and immediately showed a solemn expression.
"The Bright Moon Over the Sea."
The red-feathered black snake whispered, obviously recognizing Ye Linyuan's foundation. Seeing this, Taoist Wu Yun said, "Since you have recognized the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, I think you should also know the origin of this volume of Gongfa."
"Cang Hai Sect."
The red-feathered black snake spoke calmly, with a hint of solemnity in his pupils.
Then it soared into the air, and with a sneer on its face, it said, "The one from Canghai Sect probably chose more than just one or two seeds, so he might not care if we kill one or two of them."
"Besides, don't scare me. Others don't dare to kill you. Do you think I don't dare to kill you either?"
"It looks like we still have to do it today."
Ye Linyuan spoke slowly, and then he flicked his sleeves and a gorgeous blue crane puppet appeared in the air. He said decisively, "Your Excellency Chiyu is very powerful, but if we join forces, we may not be without the ability to protect ourselves."
After seeing the Green Crane Puppet, the Red Feathered Black Snake finally showed a solemn expression.
Although Ye Linyuan and Wuyun Taoist, both of whom are in the middle stage of foundation building, are not weak in combat power, he is fully confident that he can defeat the two of them together.
Even with Zhou Yuwan, Chu Lingxi and Shui Hanqing, three people in the early stage of foundation building, he could defeat them one by one, because if he burst out with all his strength, he had at least a 70% to 80% chance of killing them instantly. But with the Yuanchen Water Control Flag and the Qinghe Puppet, the situation would be very different.
The three middle-stage foundation building warriors joined forces and were barely able to fight against the late-stage foundation building warriors. The restrictions of Yuanchen's water control flag prevented him from killing the three early-stage foundation building warriors instantly.
Being one against six, and with a set of formations suppressing them, he had no means to defeat these people.
The most important thing is that the practitioners of Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong have powerful magic power, and the speed of recovering magic power is too fast. With the strong life-saving effect of Ming He Gong Ying, he cannot kill Ye Linyuan at all costs.
So after thinking about it, the Red Feathered Black Snake put away the murderous intent in his heart.
But he saw him rushing out of the battle formation with a cold expression, then looked at Ye Linyuan and said, "I have heard of you and know that you have extraordinary skills, but unfortunately you don't understand what you are about to face?"
"Even if you save your life today, it cannot change the fate that is destined."
"Hahaha, how sad and lamentable!"
Having said this, the red-feathered black snake flapped its wings and flew into the air, watching Ye Linyuan and the others leave. When everyone was out of its sight, a huge black shark finally arrived.
But the black shark looked into the distance, then looked at the red-feathered black snake and asked, "Your Highness Red Feather, why don't you leave them behind?"
"What do you know?"
Red Feather Black Snake shook his head and said with a gloomy look on his face: "The Canghai Sect and that person are not easy to mess with. If there is no need, we can't offend them easily."
"I caught up with them this time, and I just want them to pay a price. I won't kill them easily."
"And the reason your Black Shark Island provoked a murder this time was because you contacted the Heavenly Star Sword Sect without authorization."
At this point, a hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the Red Feathered Black Snake.
The Black Shark leader was immediately trembling with fear, and quickly said in fear: "The Tianxing Sword Sect gave my lineage a batch of blood spirit grass and a rare blood spirit grass, which can greatly enhance the blood of my Black Shark clan, but who would have thought..."
"Humph!" The red-feathered black snake sneered, and then said, "Hand over that rare blood spirit grass."
The Black Shark leader was immediately horrified and replied tremblingly, "This... that rare blood spirit grass, I'm afraid it was taken away by them."
"boom--"
The red-feathered black snake knocked him over with one blow of its tail, and said angrily, "You are such a traitor, I will skin you alive and tear out your tendons."
"..."
"The Taoist Wu Yun escaped from the dead, it seems we don't need to take action."
Just after Ye Linyuan and others left, a voice came from deep in the sky.
But above the vast sky, two mysterious auras appeared, one was a red-gold sun, and the other was a mysterious old man in Taoist robes.
It was the red-gold sun that spoke. He looked at the direction where Ye Linyuan and the others left, and said calmly, "After the five elements break through, I will nourish the hanging domain a little more, and it should be able to improve the five elements to the great perfection of foundation building."
"I'll have to trouble Brother Rongyang for this matter."
The mysterious old man spoke, and there was a hint of greed in his eyes that was hard to conceal when he looked at Taoist Wuyun.
The golden sun paused for a moment, then said coldly: "The Tianxing Sword Sect is too bullying. I'm afraid they will come to attack me within sixty years. When that happens, I may have to ask you to lend a helping hand."
"I understand."
The mysterious old man nodded, then said solemnly: "The Tianxing Sword Sect is now showing signs of revival. If they can get what they want, the situation of the Seven Domain Alliance will change drastically."
"I am used to a stable life and don't like unstable factors."
"Good good."
The golden sun laughed loudly, then looked in the direction where Ye Linyuan left and said, "From what I've seen of this person's rise, it doesn't seem to be the plan of that person."
"The world of immortal cultivation is mysterious and unpredictable, so it is reasonable that wild medicinal herbs occasionally appear."
The mysterious old man spoke, and then said coldly: "However, this person's current cultivation level cannot be considered a real great medicine. It can only be regarded as a seedling. I am afraid that he is not worthy of that person's attention."
"Whether he can grow into a great medicine that satisfies that person, he still needs to work hard and plan for a few years, otherwise he will only become the nourishment for other great medicines."
"Forget it. This matter has nothing to do with us. Now that it is over, it is time for me to leave."
The red-gold sun sank and floated in the sky. After a slight tremor, it turned into a sunset glow and dissipated, adding a touch of red-gold glow to the vast sky.
The mysterious old man stood where he was, looking in the direction of the Tianxing Sword Sect, a hint of worry in his deep eyes.
"The Tianxing Sword Sect is too murderous."
"If it can be revived again, it may not be a good thing for this sea area."
With this worry, the mysterious old man disappeared, turned into a jade talisman, flew into the air, and disappeared into the vast sky.
"..."
On the other side, Ye Linyuan, Taoist Wuyun and others escaped and breathed a sigh of relief.
After coming back to his senses, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but look at Taoist Wu Yun, and then asked: "Daoyou, do you know the Canghai Sect?"
"Canghai Sect?"
Taoist Wu Yun's expression changed slightly, and after a long time he took a deep breath and said: "Among the seven domain alliances, Canghai Domain ranks first, and Canghai Sect is also the leader of the seven golden elixir forces."
"The ancestor of this lineage is said to have reached the middle stage of the Golden Core Perfection. He is the person in the Seven Domains Alliance who is most likely to become a Golden Core Great Cultivator."
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan's brows couldn't help but slightly sank.
The late stage of each realm is called great cultivation, and the golden elixir great cultivation is very rare among the golden elixir masters.
Such people, even if they are Yuanying seeds in a Yuanying sect, are generally one of the candidates for Yuanying True Lord.
Among the Jindan forces, Jindan masters are generally extremely rare. Among the seven Jindan-level forces in the entire Seven Domain Alliance, there are no less than twenty Jindan masters in total, but there is not even one true Jindan master.
The Canghai Sect is known as the leader of the seven major forces. The power and strength it represents are enough to make any foundation-building cultivator feel the invisible sense of suffocation.
"It seems that the troubles in this life have come earlier than expected."
"I just don't know who my great enemy in this life is."
As Ye Linyuan pondered like this, his heart became more and more solemn, and then he put all his thoughts aside.
The stronger the opponent is, the less likely he will be to attack him, so the only thing he can do now is to improve his own cultivation as much as possible and accumulate his own foundation and trump cards.
After putting these thoughts aside, everyone returned to the Star Lake Islands.
The Taoist Wu Yun said goodbye to Ye Linyuan and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, my cultivation will soon break through to the late stage of foundation building."
