Chapter 246 Nine-leaf Ganoderma Lucidum [5K Subscription Request]
Arriving at the Five Elements Immortal City, Ye Linyuan looked at the huge immortal city and couldn't help but smile.
For Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Seven Domain Alliance can be considered prosperous, after all, there are dozens of Golden Core cultivators. But for Golden Core cultivators, the Seven Domain Alliance is ultimately too small.
There are hundreds of powerful Jindan masters in the Renshui Sea, and there are also many top masters in the late Jindan stage, which is enough for those in the early Jindan stage.
But for some beings in the late Jindan stage, the Renshui Sea is still not prosperous enough.
For the Jindan cultivators in the Five Elements Sea, if they want to get a chance to break through to the late Jindan stage, they have to come to the Five Elements Continent.
Because the Five Elements Continent is the center of this vast sea area, most of the Jindan cultivators in the entire Five Elements Sea area will come here to trade.
Every time the Five Elements Continent holds a barter conference once every sixty years, it will attract hundreds of surrounding islands and at least hundreds of Jindan masters to participate.
Not to mention the chance of breaking through to the late Golden Core stage, even the inferior Infant Forming Pill that could break through to the False Infant stage might appear.
This time Ye Linyuan came to the Five Elements Continent, to investigate the latest structure of the Five Elements Sea was secondary. His biggest purpose was actually to confirm the exact date of the next Five Elements Sea Barter Conference.
After entering the Five Elements Immortal City, Ye Linyuan immediately obtained all the information he wanted through various channels.
"In the Five Elements Continent, a barter conference is held every sixty years. The last one was thirty-seven years ago."
"So, in about twenty-three years, the next barter conference will begin."
Ye Linyuan sat in a teahouse, looking at a piece of information in his hand, drinking tea and thinking.
Twenty-three years is not a short time for a cultivator who is practicing Qigong and building his foundation, but it is not a long time for a Golden Core master. He can afford to wait for this period of time.
"I just don't know if I can find suitable spiritual refining items at the exchange meeting."
Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, then suppressed the thought. The soul refining item he wanted was a rare treasure of the third level.
Such treasures are often extremely valuable, and there are probably not many treasures of this level in the Five Elements Sea. Once they appear, they will surely be fought over by powerful people above the eighth level of the Golden Core.
"If you want to seize the third-level rare treasure, perhaps you can only seek it from the treasure house left by the Haohai Sect."
Ye Linyuan considered it and felt a little sorry that Li Xuangeng had escaped. He suspected that the other token was in Li Xuangeng's hands.
If we had been able to capture Li Xuangeng back then, perhaps we could have planned to seize the treasure house by now.
Of course, there was no point in thinking about these things at this moment, so he suppressed the thought and started to check the information he had about the Five Elements Sea.
Compared with the Renshui Sea, the situation in this Five Elements Sea is more complicated and vast.
Moreover, this information was updated with the latest information from the past thirty years, which recorded hundreds of Jindan forces of all sizes in the Five Elements Sea.
According to the intelligence, there are about two thousand Jindan cultivators in the entire Five Elements Sea, among which there are about fifty-seven in the late Jindan stage.
These fifty-seven late Jindan cultivators are basically cultivators from five super-large seas and more than a dozen large seas.
Among them, the five super-large sea areas with the largest number of cultivators in the late Jindan period are Renshui, Lihuo, Wutu, Yimu and Gengjin.
These five sea areas are very powerful. The Lihuo Sea Area has the least number of late Jindan cultivators, with the Yimu Sea Area having the most, with over ten late Jindan cultivators.
Among them, the Renshui Sea ranks second. There are nine late Jindan cultivators in the open, but it is hard to say whether there are more late Jindan cultivators hidden in secret.
Ye Linyuan roughly knew the reason for this.
Because the Renshui Sea has super-large water veins, and most of the main cultivation techniques take water into consideration, there are abundant water-attribute resources in the Cangling Sea, so it is naturally easier for high-level strongmen to be born.
There is an ultra-large third-level Yimu land vein in the Yimu Sea, which is the most coveted holy land for spiritual plant farmers and alchemists in the Seven Domain Alliance. It is also easier to produce high-level resources such as the Bu Tian Pill.
The other several super-large sea areas are all famous for their super-large earth veins.
Ye Linyuan is also more concerned about the Jindan forces that dominate these five super-large seas.
Each of these five super-large seas has a dominant sect, namely the Renshui Sect, the Lihuo Sect, the Qingmu Sect, the Wutu Sect, and the Gengjin Sect.
These five major sects all have at least three people in the late Jindan stage, and all of them are top Jindan masters above the eighth level.
Of course, if this is all, these five major sects cannot become the dominant sects.
The real reason why they can occupy super-large land veins is that they have at least one sect guardian ancestor at the pseudo-infant level behind them.
Although there is a word "fake" in the word "fake infant", that only applies to the Nascent Soul stage. If placed in the Golden Core stage, the fake infant would be almost invincible.
When a Jindan cultivator breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, there are three types of Nascent Soul foundations, depending on the quality of the Nascent Soul. They are the Nascent Soul of humanity, the Nascent Soul of earth, and the Nascent Soul of heaven.
The Heavenly Yuanying is rare in the world, and the vast majority of the Yuanying True Lords in the world are the Earthly Yuanying.
Below the authentic Yuanying is the human Yuanying that is cultivated by trickery, which is the so-called false infant ancestor.
Even a peerless hero who has achieved the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir can only save his life when facing the False Infant Ancestor. It is almost a pipe dream to want to use the cultivation level of the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir to defeat the Nascent Soul of humanity.
Even in the entire Cangling Sea, such a person may not appear in a thousand years.
The reason why Ye Linyuan in his previous life was hailed as the greatest man of all time in Chixiazhou, Nanling, was mainly because he used his golden elixir cultivation to the perfection and killed a fake infant ancestor.
But this situation is extremely rare. Except for Ye Linyuan in his previous life, even a True Spirit genius like Tengshe could only barely contend with the False Infant Ancestor for a period of time.
"Five major sects and five super-large land veins may be able to give birth to third-level rare treasures."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and gradually withdrew his thoughts.
Even if this super-large third-level vein can produce rare treasures, with his current strength, he is probably not qualified to touch it.
"The most urgent thing is to improve my cultivation. As long as I am strong enough and reach the late Jindan stage or above, I may be qualified to plan these things."
Ye Linyuan considered it, and after reading all the information, he stood up and left the teahouse, heading towards the core of the Five Elements Immortal City.
Soon after, he came to an attic.
It was a seven-story attic with a plaque in front of the door with a line of large characters written on it - Five Elements Treasure Pavilion.
"Five Elements Treasure Pavilion."
Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, then stepped in.
This Five Elements Treasure Pavilion is the property of the Five Elements Taoist Sect and is also the highest-specification treasure pavilion in the Five Elements Sea.
Not only are all kinds of elixirs and magic medicines sold here, but there is also a considerable amount of storage of precious third-level rarities, and even all kinds of five-element treasures are available.
This alone makes it worthy of being called the number one treasure pavilion in the Five Elements Sea.
For the Jindan-level forces, third-order treasures are extremely precious, and many of them are unique to them.
It might be possible to ask them to take out one or two third-tier treasures as the store's treasures, but it is simply impossible to find all kinds of third-tier treasures that include the five elements.
Of course, although the things in the Five Elements Treasure Pavilion are good, their prices are often 30% to 50% higher than those outside.
The main reason why Ye Linyuan came to the Five Elements Treasure Pavilion this time was to see if he could buy some rare medicinal species in the Seven Domain Alliance.
"My fellow Taoist, what do you want to buy when you visit our store?"
As soon as Ye Linyuan entered the store, he heard a gentle voice.
He looked up and saw an elegant man walking towards him.
He was a young cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, but judging from his aura, he seemed to be over 500 years old.
Ye Linyuan did not neglect it, and quickly stood up and bowed, saying: "Next time, I'm new here, I wonder if you can let me broaden my horizons."
"Okay." The young monk smiled, and then said: "My Taoist name is Chiyu, and I am the manager of the Five Elements Treasure Pavilion."
There are not many cultivators at the Jindan level. Generally, only one or two appear in the entire Five Elements Treasure Pavilion every day. Sometimes, you may not see one for several days in a row. Therefore, Taoist Chiyu was very polite in entertaining Ye Linyuan.
As he took Ye Linyuan upstairs, he recommended treasures suitable for the early stage of the Golden Core. Ye Linyuan listened to some of them, but he didn't like most of them. Thinking of the purpose of his visit, he asked directly: "Daoyou, do you have any precious medicine for breaking through the small success of the combat body?"
"A precious medicine for body refining."
Taoist Chiyu's eyes moved slightly, and he carefully looked at Ye Linyuan, then smiled and said: "Could it be that fellow Taoist has cultivated a third-level combat body?"
Ye Linyuan shook his head and said calmly: "There is a member of the clan who was born with a black copper combat body."
"Black Bronze Combat Body?"
Taoist Chiyu was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It is said that these people who are born with combat bodies consume several times less resources than ordinary people in cultivating combat bodies. This is really enviable."
As he said this, Taoist Chiyu took out a scarlet precious fruit and said, "This is more than enough to cultivate a third-level combat body."
"Hundred-year-old red fruit?"
Ye Linyuan took a look and couldn't help showing a hint of surprise.
Taoist Chiyu nodded and said calmly: "In my Five Elements Dao Sect, there is a third-level top-grade red fruit treasure tree, which can produce a batch of hundred-year-old red fruits every hundred years."
"The Centennial Vermilion Fruit is a treasure for cultivating the physical body, but unfortunately the medicinal power of the Centennial Vermilion Fruit is a little weak, and it cannot be used to cultivate a perfect combat body."
Ye Linyuan nodded. Legend has it that there is also a thousand-year-old red fruit, which is even of great use to cultivating a great combat body. Such treasures are basically in the hands of Yuanying Zhenjun.
After all, even for a Yuanying Zhenjun, if he can also cultivate a Mahayana combat body, he can slightly improve his self-protection ability.
In fact, those who have broken through the Nascent Soul True Lord level will basically begin to cultivate their combat bodies as well. The best among them can even cultivate into a fourth-order spiritual body and become the top-notch Nascent Soul True Lord who cultivates both physical and magical powers.
Of course, for Ye Linyuan, this hundred-year-old red fruit should be enough.
So he pondered for a moment, and then asked, "I wonder how to sell this hundred-year-old red fruit?"
"This item is precious, we only accept barter."
Old Man Chiyu spoke, and then said with a smile: "If you have a golden elixir, or a rare treasure of equivalent value, you can trade one or two with me."
Ye Linyuan nodded. He no longer had the golden elixir in his hands, but he had some equivalent third-level rare items, all of which were seized from the Black Dragon Demon King and others.
So he took out a few rare treasures and said with a smile: "I want to exchange for two hundred-year-old red fruits."
The Hundred-Year-Old Red Fruit can not only assist in breakthroughs, but is also useful for combat body training. Taoist Chiyu did not doubt it and directly completed the transaction with Ye Linyuan.
After the transaction was completed, Ye Linyuan felt relieved, so he asked, "Does your store have any Bu Tian Dan?"
Taoist Chiyu was slightly stunned, then he smiled and said, "There are still some low-grade Bu Tian Dan in the palace, but the Bu Tian Dan of mid-grade and above are usually only auctioned at the exchange conference."
"I see that fellow Daoist has a strong aura, and he should have cultivated more than three Dao patterns."
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan nodded slightly.
The Bu Tian Dan is a third-grade precious pill, but its medicinal properties vary greatly depending on its quality.
Among them, the inferior grade Bu Tian Dan has a weaker medicinal power and can only replenish the Dan Wen for cultivators in the early stage of Jin Dan. At most, it can only replenish three Dan Wen.
The value of a mid-grade Bu Tian Dan is quite high, and it can repair up to six dan veins at most. It will basically be snatched up by the Jin Dan forces.
The vast majority of Jindan cultivators only have two or three dan patterns, so mid-grade and above Bu Tian Dan is a scarce commodity that everyone wants, so it is most appropriate to auction it at the barter conference.
As for the top-grade Heaven-Repairing Pill, in theory, it can repair the seventh or even the eighth dan pattern, and it will definitely be able to repair the patterns below the seventh successfully, so its value can be said to be beyond belief.
A Jindan cultivator can take up to three Bu Tian Dan pills in his lifetime, and a fine Jindan can only develop up to seven dan patterns.
Such treasures combined with fine golden elixir, plus a rising star with sufficient talent, theoretically have a high probability of creating a late-stage golden elixir.
And having a great late Jindan master is enough to rank among the top 30 powerful Jindan forces in the Five Elements Sea.
It is also because of this that every time a top-grade Bu Tian Dan comes into the world, it will cause cultivators in the entire Five Elements Sea to scramble for it. Its value is no less than that of a top-grade Jin Dan.
Ye Linyuan doesn’t need the Bu Tian Pill at all. If Zhou Yuwan and Chu Lingxi want to make further progress in the future, they will also need the top-grade Bu Tian Pill.
Therefore, he had no interest in the inferior grade Bu Tian Dan.
So he hesitated for a moment, and then asked again: "Do you have 'Good Fortune Ganoderma' for sale in your pavilion?"
The Taoist Chiyu was slightly stunned. The Creation Ganoderma Lucidum is the main ingredient of the Bu Tian Pill.
This kind of spiritual medicine is filled with infinite creative essence, and can be called a special third-level spiritual medicine that can seize the fortune of heaven and earth.
The Taoist Chiyu did not hesitate and said with a smile: "We don't have any Ganoderma Lucidum, but we do have medicinal seeds for sale. I wonder if you are interested."
Ye Linyuan nodded. It was a good thing that Ganoderma lucidum could be used to refine the Heaven-Replenishing Pill, but it would be too much of a loss to sell it directly.
The Five Elements Taoist Sect must have alchemists of the third rank or above who can refine elixirs and sell them at a higher price.
However, Taoist Chiyu would definitely be happy to sell the medicinal seeds for Bu Tian Dan.
After all, it is extremely difficult to grow the Good Fortune Ganoderma. Not only does it require a large amount of high-quality spiritual fields, but it also requires a third-level high-quality spiritual plant farmer to barely keep it alive.
Moreover, according to different qualities, the Creation Ganoderma lucidum is divided into low-quality one-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, medium-quality three-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, and high-quality nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum.
Even if an average third-level spiritual plant farmer can grow a good fortune Ganoderma lucidum, it will most likely be a low-quality one-leaf Ganoderma lucidum. It is extremely difficult to grow a three-leaf Ganoderma lucidum.
As for growing the third-grade top-quality 'Six-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum', it is basically a pipe dream.
If there is no blessing of the best spiritual field, or if there is no fourth-level spiritual plant cultivation technique, an ordinary third-level high-quality spiritual plant cultivator may need a thousand years to grow one plant.
Even if the Five Elements Taoist Sect owned ten acres of top-grade spiritual fields, it would only be able to grow one six-leaf Ganoderma lucidum in an average of sixty years.
Legend has it that above the six-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, there is the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum which is the third rarest level.
But the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma is extremely rare in the world. It is said that the last time the Five Elements Taoist sect grew Nine-Leaf Ganoderma was more than 800 years ago, by a Yuanying Zhenjun who mastered the fourth-level spiritual plant skills.
The reason why Nine-Leaf Ganoderma is precious is that it can be refined into a rare Heaven-Repairing Pill.
It is said that once this treasure is taken, it will turn into a nine-patterned golden elixir. The most important thing is that this rare sky-repairing elixir also has the miraculous effect of assisting in the formation of a fetus.
It is said that the rare Heaven-Repairing Pill can slightly increase the probability of forming a baby. If used in conjunction with the Infant-Forming Pill, it can increase the probability of forming a baby by 40% when the Golden Elixir is fully perfected.
In this incomplete age, any treasure that helps to form a baby is almost a unique item that is hard to come by in a thousand years.
Since the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma can have such miraculous effects, it is naturally a rare treasure in the world. Its value is much more precious than a fourth-level spiritual treasure.
For the Five Elements Taoist Sect, they do not believe that the outside world can cultivate high-quality Good Fortune Ganoderma lucidum. If the price is right, selling the excess Good Fortune Ganoderma lucidum seeds is also a good choice.
Hearing that Taoist Chiyu was willing to sell herbal seeds, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but ask, "I wonder how much this Good Fortune Ganoderma lucidum seed is worth?"
"Spirit seeds are precious. One costs 300,000 spirit stones. Or we can trade for them."
Taoist Chiyu smiled and told the price of the Creation Ganoderma seeds.
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but frowned slightly. Three hundred thousand spirit stones were enough to buy a low-grade magic weapon. This price was not low.
After all, this is just a seed. If you don’t master the ripening method of the third-grade upper-quality seeds, it will take at least three hundred years to cultivate it to the third-grade lower-quality seeds, and a large amount of manpower and material resources will be invested during this period.
However, Ye Linyuan had no other choice, because the spiritual seeds of the Creation Ganoderma Lucidum were extremely rare, and generally only the fourth-level Ganoderma Lucidum mother plants could produce them.
Although the third-level Creation Ganoderma lucidum can also produce medicinal seeds, it is often difficult to advance to the third level due to its insufficient spirituality, and it is impossible to refine the real Heaven-Repairing Pill.
In the entire Five Elements Sea, basically only the Five Elements Taoist Sect sells the truly spiritual Ganoderma lucidum, so Ye Linyuan has no room for bargaining.
"This third-level medicine is so expensive."
Ye Linyuan showed a painful expression and took out three million spirit stones to buy ten medicinal seeds.
