Chapter 149: Pseudo-magical power - Spiritual rain [ words long chapter]
"Liang Xuanfeng, Su Shaoyu."
"You have plotted against me, and I will definitely give you something in return."
Ye Linyuan was flying in the boat while roaring angrily, and kept sticking several speed-up talismans on the treasure boat.
Su Shaoyu stood on the treasure boat, showing a hint of sneer and said: "Ye Linyuan, you took advantage of the situation back then and got the opportunity to break through the foundation-building stage."
"You have instigated Taoist Zi Yu to rebel and force me to help you. Your tactics are quite clever, but how do you feel about being tricked by us today?"
Xuanling Sanren also smiled, and said happily, "Fellow Daoist Ye, if you had given me the Bright Moon Shell earlier, I wouldn't have schemed against you."
Ye Linyuan did not respond to the two people's words. He just looked at the man in white who stood out from the crowd and said, "Who are you? I don't think I have any grudge against you."
"The moon is setting over the Three Yuan Sea."
The man in white stood there quietly, his expression remaining calm and indifferent.
Ye Linyuan's heart moved slightly. Sanyuan Sea was a famous sea area for independent cultivators in the Seven Domain Alliance. It was said that there were three independent cultivators at the Jindan level here, and their overall strength was not much inferior to that of the Tianxing Sword Sect.
The Yue Muchen in front of him is a well-known independent cultivator in Sanyuan Sea. He practiced the Nine Sky Bright Moon Technique and stayed in the middle stage of foundation building for decades. His strength has long been polished to the peak of the middle stage of foundation building.
At this time, Yue Muchen stood on the treasure boat, looking at Ye Linyuan calmly, and said with emotion: "My original enemy should be Meng Changfeng of the Meng family."
"I wanted to wait for him to practice for a few more years and accumulate more mana before killing him, but I didn't expect him to die in your hands."
"That's good. You have a stronger foundation than him. If I can kill you, I think my foundation will be even stronger after I break through to the late stage of foundation building."
Ye Linyuan was silent, but he tried his best to drive the treasure boat to continue his escape, heading towards the vast deep sea.
After escaping for three days, the second-level acceleration talisman in Ye Linyuan's hand was finally exhausted, and his own magic power seemed to be a little insufficient.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, just surrender."
Seeing that Ye Linyuan seemed to have consumed too much mana, Yue Muchen smiled and said, "You are already surprising me that you can persist for so long with your initial foundation building cultivation to activate a top-grade spiritual weapon, but I think this is already your limit."
"I advise you not to struggle. It is your fate to be buried in my hands."
As he said this, Yue Muchen immediately increased his magic power, and it seemed that he was about to catch up with Ye Linyuan.
And Su Shaoyu, Xuanling Sanren and others on the treasure boat also revealed a rare smile.
"We've already flown 100,000 miles, this distance should be about right."
Ye Linyuan didn't care about Yue Muchen's words, but when he saw him estimate the distance, he made a decision immediately.
But his expression suddenly changed, he turned around and looked at everyone and said, "It's not that easy to kill me, I will never let you succeed today."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linyuan urged the treasure boat to fly downwards and dived directly into the vast deep sea.
Seeing Ye Linyuan dive into the deep sea, everyone's faces changed slightly. Liang Xuanfeng guessed something and said immediately: "He escaped into the deep sea to use the fierce beasts in the sea to get rid of us."
"Very courageous, but it's not that easy to get away."
Yue Muchen's pupils condensed slightly, and then he decisively followed.
In an instant, the two treasure ships split the sea and headed towards the vast deep sea.
In this vast deep ocean, the water pressure was terribly high, and their speed was significantly reduced by half.
Ye Linyuan drove the treasure boat directly to the bottom of the sea, and unknowingly descended to a depth of three hundred miles. Seeing that the sea water pressure was getting greater and greater, and the resistance of the treasure boat was also getting greater and greater, Ye Linyuan simply put away the spirit boat and went directly to the deep sea.
With Qiu Shui Chang Tian's help, Ye Linyuan was extremely fast in the deep sea, even faster than the second-grade superior spirit boat. He had unknowingly opened up some distance between himself and the opponent.
Seeing this, Liang Xuanfeng's expression suddenly changed slightly and he said, "This person has fully cultivated the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong. He is like a fish in water in the sea. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to catch up with him."
Yue Muchen frowned slightly, took out another second-level water-repellent talisman and pasted it on the treasure boat, then accelerated to chase after Ye Linyuan.
The two sides were chasing and fleeing, and unknowingly arrived at the bottom of the sea. This place is more than 700 miles deep from the ground. The pressure of the sea water is so great that even a group of foundation-building monks felt a hint of threat.
If they hadn't brought water-proof treasures, they would probably only be able to exert 20% to 30% of their strength.
"At the bottom of the deep sea, where spiritual energy swirls, there must be a deep sea spiritual vein."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart and immediately followed the undercurrent on the seabed. Soon he found a deep-sea spiritual vein. It was an unfathomable sea eye filled with extremely strong turbid spiritual energy.
"Deep Sea Eye, Second Level Spiritual Vein."
As his mind was floating, Ye Linyuan instantly disappeared into the eye of the sea, and then used the Black Turtle Breath-Concealing Technique to restrain all his breath, and stuck to the bottom of the sea like a dead tree.
At the same time, there was a violent tremor in the sea eye, and then several deep-sea beasts in the early stage of foundation building suddenly roared and rushed out. They did not find Ye Linyuan, so they all killed Yue Muchen and others who were coming to kill them.
"Damn it."
A group of foundation-building monks were forced to fight and a fierce battle broke out with these deep-sea beasts.
After all, these people were all cultivators in the middle and late stages of foundation building. Even though they could not exert their full strength in the deep sea, they still quickly killed these deep-sea beasts.
But after just a brief delay, they no longer found any trace of Ye Linyuan.
The most crucial thing is that the noise of this battle has alarmed the entire sea area, and deep-sea beasts have begun to swim towards this place.
"..."
"The harvest is pretty good."
Just when everyone was engaged in a tough battle, Ye Linyuan had quietly left the seabed.
At this time, a smile appeared on Ye Linyuan's face, and he was holding several rare treasures in his hands. All of them were rare treasures unique to the seabed. Among them was even a first-level rare treasure, which was considered a good treasure for Ye Linyuan.
In order to get rid of everyone this time, he used several foundation-building sea beasts to stop everyone, and also fished out several underwater treasures from the bottom of the deep sea. It can be said that he ate and took everything at the same time.
"It should be in time to go back now."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then summoned the Green Jade Sky-Breaking Boat, which turned into a stream of light and headed directly towards the deep-sea island.
As a rare second-level spiritual boat, the Qingyu Sky-breaking Boat can fly across a hundred thousand miles of ocean in a day and can fly back to the deep-sea island in just one day.
In comparison, a second-grade superior spirit boat can only fly 30,000 miles a day, which means that even if Yue Muchen and others realize something is wrong and go back immediately, it will take them three or four days to get back.
If they had reacted slower and chosen to search directly in the deep sea, the delay would probably have been more than just three or five days.
"That means I have at least two days' time difference."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and then decisively increased the speed of the Green Jade Sky-Breaking Boat to its maximum.
At this time, Ye Linyuan left Liang Xuanfeng and others behind, and directly displayed magical powers comparable to the late foundation building stage. He flew at all costs and quickly crossed the vast void and returned to the vast island.
"Those demon crocodiles haven't come back yet."
After returning to the island, Ye Linyuan checked the atmosphere on the island and found that the demon crocodiles here had not returned. He couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
It is understandable that those evil crocodiles did not dare to come back after escaping. After all, Liang Xuanfeng and others might come back to kill them at any time. With their intelligence, they would naturally not take risks easily again.
For Ye Linyuan, the absence of these foundation-building demon crocodiles to block his way also saved him some trouble.
He did not waste any time. He first collected the corpses of several Foundation Establishment Demon Crocodiles that had died in the battle here, and then went straight to the island in front of him.
The closer he got to the center of the island, the more Ye Linyuan discovered that this place was extraordinary.
I saw that in the core of the island, there was a vibrant spiritual land, filled with the powerful Yi wood energy, and therefore all kinds of spiritual trees and spiritual medicines grew everywhere.
Ye Linyuan only took a glance and found hundreds of first-level spiritual trees, five second-level spiritual trees, and more than thirty second-level spiritual medicines.
"There are so many spiritual plants, but unfortunately I can't take many away."
Ye Linyuan felt regretful. Although he had made preparations this time and brought several second-level storage bags, the treasures that could be stored were limited, and it was impossible for him to take away hundreds of first-level spiritual trees.
"Start with the most expensive ones and take as much as you can."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then cut down all the five second-grade spiritual trees, and obtained forty-six pieces of low-grade spiritual wood and fourteen pieces of medium-grade spiritual wood.
In addition, Ye Linyuan also picked hundreds of spiritual medicines, including more than a dozen first-level rare spiritual medicines and more than thirty second-level spiritual medicines.
Among these first-grade rare spiritual medicines, there are more than a dozen rare spiritual medicines such as the Soul-Nourishing Flower, the Enlightenment Flower, and the Xuanyuan Ginseng. Putting them together should allow Ye Linyuan to refine another furnace of Foundation-Building Pills.
Among the second-level spiritual medicines, most of them are relatively ordinary, but there are two rare seedlings that make Ye Linyuan ecstatic.
These two spiritual medicine seedlings are the seedlings of Yandao Flower and Annual Ring Grass. When they mature, they will become extremely rare second-level treasures.
Among the two treasures, Yan Dao Flower is one of the three main ingredients for making golden elixir. If it is fully mature, it can at least be exchanged for a second-grade golden elixir.
The annual ring grass contains a trace of the Taoist essence of the annual ring, which is of great benefit to the practice of ripening methods. It is also the rare thing that Ye Linyuan has always dreamed of.
"Once these annual ring grass and the Dao flower mature, they can be regarded as invaluable opportunities for achieving enlightenment."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then stepped to the core area of the Yimu vein.
It was an abundant spiritual spring, which happened to be located at the intersection of the Yi wood energies of heaven and earth, thus forming the Yi wood veins that were full of opportunities.
However, now, the spiritual energy contained in this Yimu land vein has mostly dissipated, and the gathered Yimu Tao essence has also gradually dissipated a lot.
"A Yimu land vein that is about to dissipate and its grade will drop."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly and had a clear understanding of this Yimu land vein.
The Yi Wood Earth Vein is formed by the convergence of the Yi Wood Qi between heaven and earth, and is closely related to the trend of the earth veins in mountains, rivers and seas, but it can also be born or dissipated due to various reasons.
For example, the terrain of the ocean may change, or the trend of the wood energy in heaven and earth may change. It is also possible that other powerful people may use formations to change the trend of the five elements.
No matter what the reason is, the five elements of energy gathered by the five elements of the earth veins here have dissipated for the most part, and are almost on the verge of collapse.
It is precisely because of this that no rare treasures above the third level have been produced here, and there are not even any mature second-level rare treasures.
But if you think about it carefully, this is also expected.
If the Yimu ground veins here were intact, it would be enough to breed third-level treasures and a large number of second-level spiritual woods, so it would be impossible for it to fall into the hands of a few demon crocodiles in the foundation-building stage.
"The earth veins are disintegrating, the Yi wood energy and spiritual energy are far from enough, it seems that it is impossible to breed a treasure of the second-grade upper grade or above."
Ye Linyuan spoke slowly, revealing a hint of regret.
Of course, the Yi Mu land vein is the Yi Mu land vein after all. Even if the spiritual energy of this place is about to collapse, there is still a spring of extremely rare spiritual water in the spiritual spring.
This is a combination of spiritual water and Yimu power. It is a special first-class rare treasure 'Yimu Spiritual Water'.
This Yi Mu spiritual water cannot be used to make elixirs or medicines, but it can be used to cultivate spiritual medicines and spiritual plants. It is said that if the mutated spiritual plants can refine enough Yi Mu spiritual water, they may transform into rare treasures.
If those first-level rare spiritual plants can refine a large amount of Yi Mu spiritual water, they can greatly increase the speed of their promotion to second-level high-quality spiritual woods. In addition, it will also greatly enhance the potential of the spiritual plants and increase their chances of transforming into second-level rare spiritual plants.
And in the spiritual spring here, there is a small half pool of Yi Mu spiritual water, and the amount is probably dozens of portions.
"Those demon crocodiles don't know any spiritual plant magic, which is a good thing for me."
Ye Linyuan put away the Yi Mu spiritual water with a smile, then stood up and looked at the entire Yi Mu earth vein, sensing the Yi Mu Tao essence between heaven and earth.
After a while, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Although the Dao essence here has been reduced by half, fortunately it has not completely dissipated. I think it will be enough to help my spiritual plant magic go further."
Whispering this, Ye Linyuan casually placed the Yuanchen Water Control Flag, and then stayed in the core of the Yimu Earth Vein to comprehend the spiritual plant magic.
Ye Linyuan had an extraordinary talent for spiritual plants in his previous life, but because his spiritual roots were not suitable, he only cultivated to the lower third level.
But in this life, Ye Linyuan's spiritual roots are extremely compatible with the spiritual plants, and his comprehension has been strengthened in some way. His comprehension of the spiritual plants' spells can be said to have made great progress.
Ye Linyuan originally estimated that after breaking through the middle stage of foundation building, he only needed to retreat for another thirty years before he could comprehend the Soul Nourishing Technique and the Spirit Rain Technique to the limit, and then naturally transform them into pseudo-magical powers.
Now that Ye Linyuan was able to come into the Yimu earth veins and observe the Yimu Tao essence within the earth veins, his spiritual plant magic naturally began to advance by leaps and bounds.
After just one day, Ye Linyuan's Spirit Rain Technique and Spirit Nourishing Technique had completely transformed into pseudo-magical powers.
"Fake magical power - Spiritual Rain."
"Pseudo-magical power - raising spirits."
Ye Linyuan lowered his eyes to sense his sea of consciousness, but saw that the clouds representing the Spirit Rain Technique and the spiritual light group representing the Soul Nourishing Technique had changed drastically.
They seem to be naturally formed, formed by countless Taoist patterns, and are far more dazzling than other Taoist magic spells.
"I have finally mastered the two great pseudo-magical powers of spiritual plants."
"Now, I am already considered a second-level super-grade spiritual plant husband."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The so-called pseudo-supernatural power is a technique that transcends the limits of Taoist magic.
It belongs to the realm of the second-level super-quality. Although it still remains at the entry level, it has already surpassed the realm of techniques. It is only half a step away from the realm of magical powers, so it is called pseudo-magical power by the world.
Generally speaking, the minor supernatural powers possessed by cultivators in the false elixir realm are called pseudo-supernatural powers by the world.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, the power of the pseudo-magical power is very strong and should be close to the minor magical power of the initial stage.
In other words, the two pseudo-magical powers of spiritual plants that Ye Linyuan possessed were essentially comparable to the lower-grade magical powers of third-order spiritual plants.
"My spiritual plant skills are close to the level of my previous life."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, he was very clear about the power of these two pseudo-magical powers of spiritual plants.
After transforming into a pseudo-divine power, Ye Linyuan was already able to cultivate second-order rare treasures, and could also take care of third-order low-quality spiritual plants. If used to cultivate second-order five-element wood, the difficulty would be reduced by more than one level.
"After I go back this time, I will be able to produce second-level five-element wood stably. With Yimu Spirit Water, it shouldn't be difficult to upgrade it to a first-level rare five-element wood."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and his plans for the future became clearer.
But when he stood up and took a look at the Yimu veins in this Dao domain, which had dimmed a lot, he couldn't help but sighed with regret: "The Yimu Dao essence here is not much, and after my cultivation, a lot of it has been consumed."
"It seems that this Yimu land vein will disappear completely soon."
With this regret, Ye Linyuan shook his head, then quietly set up the Green Jade Sky-Breaking Boat and flew all the way to the Tianxing Sea.
I don’t know how long I flew, but when Ye Linyuan passed by a vast ocean, he suddenly felt a little palpitation. He changed direction and fled to a farther place.
"boom--"
At this moment, in the endless deep sea, a giant snake that covered the sky and the sun opened its mouth and bit towards him, emitting tremendous suction force to completely devour Ye Linyuan.
Fortunately, Ye Linyuan discovered it early, and the Qingyu Sky-breaking Boat was extremely fast, so it finally helped him avoid this dangerous attack.
It was not until this moment that he looked back and found a giant snake with wings on its back rising into the air. Its eyes were filled with scarlet, and it pounced towards Ye Linyuan with a chilling murderous intent.
"The ancient evil - the Teng Snake!"
Ye Linyuan was startled for a moment, and decisively pushed the Green Jade Sky-Breaking Boat to its limit. On the other hand, he used all his strength to push the Su Yue Fen Hui to continuously block it, trying his best to distance himself from it.
Fortunately, the cultivation level of this Teng Snake was not high. It seemed that it was only at the late foundation building stage. After a chase, Ye Linyuan left it a little distance away.
Seeing that it could not catch up, the viper did not continue chasing, but turned around and dived into the vast deep sea.
"call--"
Ye Linyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting rid of the Teng Snake. Thinking back to the extremely vicious Teng Snake, a solemn look appeared in his eyes.
The Teng Snake is one of the greatest evil creatures in ancient times and also an extremely rare true spirit of heaven and earth, possessing an extremely terrifying murderous intent and vicious temper.
Moreover, the Teng Snake was extremely fast. If he did not have the Green Jade Sky-Breaking Boat, an ordinary late-stage foundation-building cultivator would have no choice but to die if he encountered that Teng Snake.
The blood of the Teng Snake just now was extremely pure, and its aura was so powerful that it was terrifying. It was most likely a pure-blooded Teng Snake.
"A true spirit cub with extraordinary bloodline."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.
The bloodline of the true spirit of heaven and earth is extraordinary. In ancient times, one could cultivate to the realm of primordial spirit with his eyes closed. Even in this era, one can easily cultivate to the realm of Nascent Soul.
In fact, pure-blooded true spirits of heaven and earth are rare in the world today.
In his previous life, Ye Linyuan was a cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm. He had come into contact with many Yuanying True Lords in his life, but he had never come into contact with this kind of existence at the beginning.
Only in the secret realm of Jiexu did he have the honor of seeing several true spirits of heaven and earth who were nearing the end of their lifespan.
The cultivation base of these true spirits of heaven and earth basically starts from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and there are even some who are in the late stage of the Nascent Soul.
Fortunately, the Jiexu Forbidden Land is extremely special. In addition, they did not take Ye Linyuan seriously at the time and were too lazy to pay attention to this young Jindan. Otherwise, Ye Linyuan might not be able to seize the magical soul refining technique even if he died.
"A young Teng Snake in the late stage of foundation building is probably as powerful as several great perfections of foundation building combined."
"It lives in the vast ocean. It seems that the entire Seven Domain Alliance will face a terrible disaster in the future."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, a hint of solemnity appearing in his eyes.
With the foundation of a pure-blooded Teng Snake, there should not be any bottlenecks before it cultivates to the late Jindan stage, and even breaking through the Yuanying stage should not be too difficult for it.
In other words, as long as it does not die young, the cultivation of this Teng Snake cub will advance by leaps and bounds, and it will reach the late Golden Core stage in the next few hundred years.
And once it reaches the late Jindan stage, even if the entire Seven Domain Alliance joins forces, it will be difficult to stop this ferocious Teng Snake.
And judging by Teng Snake's character, he will certainly slaughter the entire Seven Domain Alliance to collect resources in order to meet his needs to break through the Nascent Soul realm.
The most important thing is that the Teng Snake is extremely fast and has a high sense of danger.
Even for a Jindan cultivator, it would be difficult to catch this young Teng Snake in the late Foundation Establishment stage, not to mention that this Teng Snake is hiding in the vast deep sea. It would probably be difficult to find it.
Therefore, Ye Linyuan believed that the possibility of this young Teng Snake dying was not high. Its biggest life and death hurdle would probably be when it breaks through the Nascent Soul stage, where it might be plotted against by those Nascent Soul True Lords.
"It seems that my cultivation cannot be improved too slowly."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and finally felt a sense of urgency about improving his cultivation.
He suppressed his thoughts and returned all the way to the Tianxing Sea, then changed to a second-grade high-quality treasure ship and returned to the Seven Islands of Xinghu.
Ye Linyuan entered the Seven Islands of Star Lake under the gaze of the outside world. He looked pale, weak, and frightened, but his face also showed an expression of surviving a disaster.
It was not until he returned to Yejia Island that Ye Linyuan stopped looking weak.
"Husband."
Shui Hanqing came forward the first time. She was a little worried at first, but she felt relieved when she saw that Ye Linyuan's breathing was stable.
Ye Linyuan shook his head, then smiled and said, "I hid it from them as planned, so it can be said that the trip was not in vain."
"..."
Outsiders didn’t know what happened. They only knew that not long after Ye Linyuan returned, he upgraded the mountain protection formation of the Seven Islands of Xinghu again.
Not long after Ye Linyuan upgraded the formation, the group quietly arrived outside the Seven Islands of Star Lake.
Liang Xuanfeng looked at the Seven Islands of Xinghu Lake and said unwillingly, "I didn't expect him to escape back. All our plans have come to nothing. We have all failed."
The ancestor of the Meng Immortal Clan had a very unhappy expression on his face. He looked at Ye Jiadao with resentment and said, "Do you think that the Yimu Earth Vein was plundered by him?"
"impossible."
Su Shaoyu shook his head, then said calmly: "It took him exactly six or seven days to escape to the bottom of the sea and come back. At that time, he was 200,000 miles away from the family, which was exactly the maximum speed of a second-level upper-grade spirit boat."
"What if he has a hidden card?" Xuan Ling San Ren couldn't help but ask.
"Impossible." Yue Muchen shook his head and said calmly: "Unless he has mastered the second-level rare spirit boat, and his cultivation has broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, it is possible for him to take advantage of this period of time to fight back and forth."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.
They were very clear about Ye Linyuan's cultivation level. Ye Linyuan's rise was basically traceable, and it was impossible for him to have mastered too high-level cultivation resources.
However, the speed of practicing Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong is slow. Even if he has the support of a great Jin Dan master and takes Ling Zhen Xuan Yuan Dan every day, it is impossible for him to reach the middle stage of foundation building in such a short time.
As for the second-level rare treasures, they are also extremely precious treasures. Generally, only the fake dan true people or the golden dan masters can possess them. At the very least, they should be the direct descendants of the golden dan immortal clan.
So after taking a comprehensive look at it, they believed that it was impossible for Ye Linyuan to break through the middle stage of foundation building, and they also believed that it was impossible for Ye Linyuan to master the second-order rare spirit boat.
"If it goes as expected, the opportunity in the Yimu Earth Vein should have been taken away by those demon crocodiles."
After constant consideration, Yue Muchen finally came up with a reason that he thought was the most reasonable.
Liang Xuanfeng was immediately unwilling to accept the news. "If we had known this would happen, we should have left a few people to guard the Yimu land vein."
"It's pointless to talk about this now."
Xuanling Sanren spoke calmly, then looked at the seven islands of Xinghu and said, "Since we have already started, why don't we take over Yejia Island completely?"
"I'm afraid it won't work." Su Shaoyu shook his head, then said, "Ye Linyuan is quite powerful, and is good at cultivating all arts. He only needs to put down the Yuanchen Water Control Flag and use the composite formation to block the combined efforts of several late foundation building cultivators."
"Furthermore, he has strengthened the formation once again, making it much more difficult to defeat him."
At this point, Su Shaoyu said with a dim gaze: "The most important thing is that he is now cooperating with Minghuang Jianzi. I know Minghuang Jianzi, and he will not treat his cooperators unfairly."
"So once we take action, we will inevitably face the Minghuang Sword Master."
Everyone fell silent after hearing this.
The Minghuang Jianzi of today is no longer the Minghuang Jianzi of the past. Today’s Minghuang Jianzi has broken through the late stage of foundation building and has even cultivated the supreme Taoist foundation of Green Bird and Yellow Dragon.
With such a solid foundation in the late stage of foundation building, Minghuang Jianzi's combat power is so terrifying that it is even comparable to that of the ninth level of foundation building.
The most important thing is that Minghuang Jianzi has already contracted a second famous sword, and his overall strength is second only to Xu Ri Jianzi who has reached the great perfection of foundation building.
After understanding this, Liang Xuanfeng said solemnly: "It seems that we cannot take action against Ye Linyuan before we are fully prepared."
Yue Muchen pondered for a moment, and finally said, "It is best to lure him out of the Seven Islands of Xinghu Lake. This way we will have a greater chance of killing him."
"Lead out the seven islands of Star Lake?"
Everyone was slightly stunned, and Xuan Ling Cooling couldn't help but ask: "Ye Linyuan is so cautious, and now he has suffered a loss again, I'm afraid he won't suffer a second time."
"I know." Yue Muchen nodded calmly, and then said with a burning gaze: "If conspiracy doesn't work, then we can only use open conspiracy."
"Conspiracy?"
Everyone present looked at each other, and then looked at Yue Muchen.
Yue Muchen nodded, and then said, "I have an opportunity, which was originally intended to be used to quickly improve my cultivation after breaking through the late stage of foundation building."
"This item can greatly increase the speed of practicing the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong. It is a rare treasure for Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong practitioners. I think he will not miss this opportunity."
At this point, Yue Muchen looked at the people around him and said, "However, if I want to set up this game, my strength alone is not enough, so I need the help of all the fellow Taoists."
At this point, Yue Muchen immediately informed everyone of his request.
When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly changed and they were all in hesitation, wondering whether or not to launch such a conspiracy.
Because according to Yue Muchen's layout, the cost of this game was incredibly high, enough to cause them all to suffer heavy losses and pay a huge price to succeed.
Among the major forces, Su Shaoyu and Xuanling Sanren were firm in their attitudes, but Liang Xuanfeng and the head of the Meng family seemed to want to shirk their responsibilities.
Seeing this, Xuanling Sanren immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Liang, Fellow Daoist Meng, you have planned to plot against Ye Linyuan this time. Do you really think that he will not settle accounts with you after he breaks through to the late stage of foundation building?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Patriarch Meng and Liang Xuanfeng suddenly changed. They immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, we were all dragged into the car by you."
"..."
Ye Linyuan didn't care about the outside world's calculations.
At this moment, he was in the cave's spiritual eye, counting all the rare treasures seized this time.
This time, Ye Linyuan took advantage of the situation and became the biggest winner.
Not only did he obtain dozens of pieces of second-level spiritual wood, hundreds of first- and second-level spiritual medicines, he also obtained the corpses of several demon crocodiles, and some first-level rare items including the Enlightenment Flower.
"I have gained a lot from this trip, and I have not exposed my mid-stage foundation building cultivation, nor have I exposed the Jade Sky Breaking Boat."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, and couldn't help but smile.
As long as his cultivation level is not exposed, these enemies will be misjudged. In this way, when the Ye family becomes stronger, they can set up a plan to wipe out these enemies in one fell swoop.
Of course, the most important thing is that Ye Linyuan has become a second-level super-grade spiritual plant husband.
After two lifetimes of cultivation, Ye Linyuan knew very well what a second-level super-grade spiritual plant husband meant to an immortal at the foundation-building level.
At this time, Ye Linyuan came to the spiritual field, tested some spiritual plant spells, and finally showed a look of satisfaction.
He discovered that by mastering the second-level super-grade spiritual plant spell, he was able to raise the Ye family's future cultivation resources to a higher level.
"After becoming a second-level super-grade spiritual plant husband, the next step is to settle down."
"..."
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, Ye Linyuan was seventy-two years old. His cultivation had made a small progress, but his overall strength had not made much of a breakthrough.
However, during these three years, the Ye family's foundation has undergone a qualitative change.
First of all, Ye Linyuan had successfully mastered the ripening method, which had shortened the ripening time of the Xuanyuan Fruit by another 50%. However, due to insufficient spiritual energy in the inferior spiritual field, the ripening time could not be shortened to five years.
Secondly, during these three years, the Ye family has owned a full ten acres of medium-quality spiritual fields.
Of the ten acres of spiritual fields, five acres were used to plant five-element wood, two acres were used to plant spiritual mulberry trees, one acre was used to plant ten spiritual trees with greater potential and uses, such as spiritual willow trees and spiritual peach trees, and the remaining two acres were used for various special second-level spiritual medicines.
Among these mid-grade spiritual fields, the five-element woods have been continuously selected and bred by Ye Linyuan, and those that remain are all spiritual woods with great potential. Many of them have been promoted to the second level, and there is even a rare five-element wood that Ye Linyuan values the most.
This rare five-element wood is of extraordinary value and can at least be promoted to the second-grade upper grade in the future. It is the trump card Ye Linyuan has prepared for himself.
The most important thing is that this five-element wood mutated under Ye Linyuan's cultivation and turned into a 'water-element wood' with water attributes.
This kind of spiritual wood has a great bonus to water-attributed magic power and is most suitable for refining water-attributed formations or magical instruments.
Ye Linyuan left most of the Yi Wood Spirit Water to this rare Five Elements Wood, hoping to replenish its essence and promote it to the level of a second-level rare treasure in the future.
Once this treasure can be promoted to a second-level rare spiritual root, Ye Linyuan will consider using it as a basis to refine a set of natal formation tools.
Ye Linyuan believed that when he broke through to the great perfection of foundation building, if he could possess a set of second-grade top-grade natal formation, it should be enough to defeat the fake elixir cultivators, and even confront the great masters in the early stage of golden elixir head-on.
After all, the power of Cang Hai Ming Yue is powerful and is most suitable for practicing this set of formation equipment.
And if the water wood cannot be promoted to a rare spiritual wood by then, Ye Linyuan will have to settle for the next best thing and refine a set of second-grade superior formations.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, the power of such a set of formation equipment can be comparable to that of low-grade magic weapons, greatly increasing Ye Linyuan's life-saving ability and combat effectiveness.
"Shui Xing Mu, Shui Xing Mu, I hope you won't let me down."
Looking at the water wood in front of him, Ye Linyuan once again activated the soul-nourishing technique to warm it up, then slowly stood up.
After standing up, he looked at the ten acres of medium-quality spiritual fields in the valley, and frowned slightly: "It seems that the spiritual energy is a little insufficient again."
Medium-grade spiritual fields are big consumers of spiritual energy, because the spiritual medicines and plants planted there are absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy and spiritual substances day and night.
In order to supply these mid-grade spiritual fields, Ye Linyuan has gathered most of the spiritual energy from the nine spiritual springs, including the spiritual springs in the valley.
But even so, cultivating ten acres of medium-grade spiritual fields and more than one hundred acres of low-grade spiritual fields is already the limit.
After all, Ye Linyuan planted hundreds of Xuanyuan fruits and dozens of second-level spiritual medicines and spiritual trees, so the consumption of spiritual energy was naturally huge.
In this case, ten acres of medium-grade spiritual fields are already the limit. If more medium-grade spiritual fields are opened up, the spiritual energy of the Seven Islands of Star Lake will not be able to afford it.
"We still need to cultivate medium-quality or even high-quality spiritual springs."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, revealing a hint of hesitation.
Generally speaking, a medium-grade spiritual field consumes a lot of spiritual energy. A second-level low-grade spiritual spring can only supply the spiritual energy needed for three to five acres of medium-grade spiritual fields.
The nine second-grade lower-grade spiritual springs on Yejia Island are close to the limit in supplying so many middle-grade and lower-grade spiritual fields. If one wants to open up more middle-grade spiritual fields, it would be better to upgrade the spiritual springs to middle-grade ones.
"Although the spirit-raising method is mysterious, it also has certain limitations. To upgrade the spirit spring grade, one must use at least a lower-grade spirit-gathering bead."
"If you want to upgrade to the second-level middle-grade spiritual spring, you still need the second-level lower-grade spirit gathering bead."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and his brows couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Second-grade low-quality spirit-gathering beads are rare and can usually only be extracted from second-grade spirit veins.
Furthermore, once this is done, it will inevitably greatly damage the origin of the spirit vein, which will in turn lead to a decrease in the spiritual energy nurtured by the spirit vein. With good luck, it will take hundreds of years to recover, and with bad luck it may even cause the grade of the spirit vein to be reduced.
Therefore, in the outside world, Spirit Gathering Beads are extremely rare and are generally only sold at Foundation Establishment-level barter conventions, and each one can be sold at a sky-high price of ten or twenty thousand Spirit Stones.
"Purchasing a large number of second-level spirit gathering beads will not only be very expensive, but will also attract the attention of those foundation-building forces."
"Perhaps, I can upgrade my spiritual vein to the second level by myself, and then use the soul-sucking formation to absorb the spirit-gathering beads?"
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart and soon thought of a solution.
The so-called self-promotion means that he purchased a first-grade top-quality spirit-gathering bead and then found a deserted island overseas to cultivate a second-grade spirit spring.
After the second-level spiritual spring was successfully cultivated, Ye Linyuan would set up a second-level soul-capturing formation. At the cost of destroying the second-level spiritual spring, he would extract the essence of the spiritual spring and condense the spirit beads.
Although there is a possibility of failure in cultivating the Spirit Gathering Beads using this method, the cost is much lower than directly purchasing the second-level Spirit Gathering Beads.
Of course, setting up a second-order soul-capturing formation is also very troublesome. The Tiangang Disha soul-capturing formation that Ye Linyuan masters has three levels of formations: Tiangang, Disha, and Tiangang Disha. At most, it can be used to extract the essence of second-order top-grade spirit veins to refine spirit gathering beads.
Among them, the Tiangang Formation is the most basic and can only condense second-level inferior spirit-gathering beads, but it also requires thirty-six second-level formation flags as the core of the formation to set up the formation.
“It’s expensive and cumbersome, but it’s the easiest way for me.”
"After all, the difficulty and cost of obtaining a first-grade, superior-quality Soul Gathering Pearl is much lower than that of a second-grade Soul Gathering Pearl."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and then gave orders to the family, asking them to purchase first-level spirit gathering beads through various channels, either openly or secretly.
Ye Linyuan himself was practicing in seclusion while preparing to set up the formation.
Not long after, Ye Linyuan refined another batch of foundation-building pills. Fifth aunt Ye Qinxin and Chu Lingxin each got one and began to strive for the foundation-building stage.
