Ye Linyuan was very calm, and said calmly, "As long as you don't leave the Sky Whale Treasure Ship, the Black Water Mystic Snake can't do anything to you."
"And according to my calculations, the Black Water Mystic Snake may not be able to get out in the short term."
Having said this, Ye Linyuan stopped talking and continued to steer the treasure ship towards the depths of the ocean.
They kept traveling and soon arrived at the Qingyu Sea, but found that the Qingyu Sea had been occupied by the demon clan. Now guarding this place is a deep-sea demon king in the early golden elixir stage.
In order to avoid angering the black water snake, Ye Linyuan did not take action, but asked everyone to take a detour. Soon they arrived at the Renshui Sea.
After arriving at the Renshui Sea, Ye Linyuan discovered that a war was breaking out in this sea area.
Countless deep-sea monsters have been engaged in a years-long war with the Renshui Sea. The closest major forces, such as the Youshui Sect, have been beaten and lost their mountain gates several times.
But now the battlefield has been pushed back because the overlord of the Renshui Sea, the Renshui Sect, has dispatched two great late Jindan masters to suppress the battle on the front line.
The two leaders of the two major forces, Qianyuan Sect and Kunyuan Sect, seemed to have had a fierce battle with the black water snake not long ago.
In that battle, the two masters joined forces and gained the upper hand on the battlefield, but the two sides were still unable to determine the winner.
Regarding this, Ye Linyuan roughly understood the cause and effect in his heart. These powerful men above the eighth level of the Golden Core Realm were more concerned about their own path.
Unless both parties are common enemies, they will not really fight to the death with each other.
For the two leaders, fighting with the Black Water Serpent was more of a pretense and they would not really fight it to the death.
On the contrary, it would be a good choice for them to take this opportunity to weaken other Jindan forces in the Renshui Sea.
The only thing that surprised Ye Linyuan was that Meng Nanfeng of the Renshui Sect did not take action. Otherwise, with his ninth-level golden elixir strength, he would have a certain chance of taking down the Black Water Mystic Snake.
"Could it be that Renshui Sect still wants to help this Black Water Mystic Snake?"
Ye Linyuan whispered, but was a little uncertain.
With the strength of the Black Water Mystic Snake, once it can be crowned king through battle, it will be truly a big deal. By then, will the Renshui Sect really be able to suppress the opponent?
"Could it be that there is a deeper cause and effect behind this?"
Ye Linyuan pondered, and gradually suppressed all thoughts.
The most urgent task is to sail the treasure ship to Renshui Sect and complete the first batch of trade transactions.
The treasure ship continued to move forward and soon arrived at the Tianxing Sea, where they sold some of the spiritual treasures to forces such as the Renshui Sect.
After completing the transaction, they loaded a batch of goods for the major forces in the Renshui Sea, and even took a few local Jindan cultivators on board, and continued to head towards the Five Elements Continent.
The treasure ship continued sailing in this way. After several months, after passing through several archipelagos, it finally arrived at the shore of the Five Elements Continent.
"arrive."
Arriving at the dock before the Five Elements Continent, Ye Linyuan looked at the huge Five Elements Islands in front of him and couldn't help but smile.
There were a lot of goods on the ship. Fortunately, they were all specialties of the Seven Domain Alliance and were in short supply in the Five Elements Continent. Soon they found buyers.
However, because there were so many goods, the entire transaction and accounting process lasted for three full months.
Naturally, Ye Linyuan didn't need to get involved in these things. He directly handed these matters over to his clansmen to deal with, and brought Shui Hanqing and others to the Five Elements Immortal City.
"A lot of people."
It was the first time for Shui Hanqing and others to set foot in such a prosperous fairy city, and they were all surprised.
Compared to the Seven Domain Alliance, this Five Elements Immortal City is much more prosperous. There are millions of cultivators here, and high-level cultivators are numerous.
It is no exaggeration to say that throwing a stone can knock down a piece of foundation, and you can see several golden elixirs after taking two steps.
"The barter conference of the Five Elements Continent is the largest barter conference in the entire Five Elements Sea."
"Besides, it only opens once every sixty years. This opportunity is too rare, so all the Jindan forces in this sea area that are capable of crossing the sea will send people here."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, then said with a smile: "Let's go to the market and see if we can find some bargains."
Saying this, Ye Linyuan led everyone forward, and soon they arrived at the market town.
The market town they stepped into was a high-end market town. Those setting up stalls and shopping were basically cultivators who had reached the foundation building stage or above, but the place was still packed with people.
After a quick stroll, Ye Linyuan asked Ye Xuqiu, "Did you find anything?"
"Not yet." Ye Xuqiu's eyes flashed with a faint golden light. After glancing at the surrounding stalls, he shook his head.
"In the southeast corner of the stall, walk 800 steps and take a look."
Ye Yingxu's pupils flickered slightly, and he suddenly spoke.
Ye Linyuan was slightly stunned, and immediately understood that Ye Yingxu's Immortal Eyes seemed to have glimpsed a glimpse of opportunity in the dark.
But he did not rush forward. Instead, he checked the stalls and walked towards the southeast unknowingly.
They walked for an unknown amount of time until they arrived in front of a stall and heard Ye Yingxu's voice saying, "The luck is lingering here. It should be nearby."
Ye Linyuan nodded and couldn't help but look at Ye Xuqiu.
But seeing a faint golden light in Ye Xuqiu's pupils, it finally fixed on a dull seed, and then he withdrew his gaze and said: "This seed seems to be not simple."
"Oh?"
Ye Linyuan's eyes moved slightly, and a hint of joy arose in his heart.
But there was nothing unusual on his face. He brought Ye Xuqiu and Ye Yingxu here because he wanted to use their mysterious magical powers to see if he could find any bargains here.
Thinking of this, he activated his jade spiritual pupils and carefully observed the spiritual seed.
This is the seed of an 'evergreen tree', but the spiritual essence and vitality on it are very dim, and it looks no different from an ordinary evergreen tree.
Ye Linyuan roughly understood in his heart that this seed was most likely a high-level spiritual seed with extremely high potential.
Because high-level spiritual species, especially ancient spiritual trees above level five, are often able to achieve the state of being self-concealed and completely concealing their own aura.
"If it really is a true spirit seed, then it will be completely prosperous."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and couldn't help feeling a little moved.
You know, spiritual plants are just like cultivators, it is difficult to promote them, especially high-level spiritual plants above level four, it is extremely difficult to promote them.
It is the same Five Elements Wood. If you want to cultivate it to the fourth level, the difficulty of cultivating the seeds of ordinary Five Elements Wood and the seeds of the fifth level Five Elements Wood is not at the same level at all.
If you want to cultivate ordinary five-element wood to the fourth level, you need to pay a huge price, and it needs a skilled spiritual cultivator to put in a lot of effort, and add various spiritual objects to supplement its foundation in order to succeed.
Even so, among the hundreds or thousands of spiritual trees, only one can finally be promoted successfully.
But if it is the seed of the fifth-level true spirit five elements wood, as long as enough spiritual energy is provided, it can be promoted to the fourth level without any bottleneck.
It can be said that having a seed with great potential is the key to cultivating high-level spiritual plants.
It can make Ye Xuqiu and Ye Yingxu's Xuantian magical powers respond, and Ye Linyuan's Qingyu Xuantong can't see anything unusual. The seed in front of them is most likely the seed of a fifth-level true spirit ancient tree.
At this time, this seed was placed together with a pile of ordinary spiritual seeds, and the stall owner did not seem to notice anything unusual.
"Senior, what do you need?"
It was at this time that the stall owner looked at Ye Linyuan and asked.
Ye Linyuan took a look at the stall owner and found that his cultivation was only at the initial stage of foundation building. It seemed that he was a native cultivator of the Five Elements Continent.
With his current level of cultivation, this foundation-building cultivator did not dare to be negligent at all, and did not even have the courage to look him in the face. He could only bow his head and salute.
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said calmly: "I'm in need of some evergreen wood seeds. How much do you sell them for?"
"It's just a first-level spirit seed. If you want, just give me some."
The value of the first-level spiritual seeds was too low, so the cultivator did not dare to offer a price and could only settle for the next best thing. Ye Linyuan nodded, then took out a thousand spiritual stones, and finally pointed to a second-level five-element wood seedling next to it and said, "I want these evergreen wood seeds. If you have the extra money, you can also pack this."
The foundation-building cultivator hurriedly packed up these spiritual seeds and gave the five elements wood seedlings to Ye Linyuan.
Ye Linyuan collected the spiritual seeds and the five elements of wood, and without wasting any time, he started browsing other stalls.
After Ye Linyuan left, the foundation-building cultivator looked at Ye Linyuan's back and asked in confusion, "How could this senior personally buy a mere first-grade evergreen wood seed?"
"Could it be that there is something unusual about that second-level five-element wood?"
Having said this, the foundation-building cultivator quickly shook his head and put all his thoughts aside.
Even if there really were treasures among his treasures, he could not refuse such a powerful person like Ye Linyuan.
If he really annoyed the other party, the Jindan master would probably have ten thousand ways to make him die quietly invisibly. He was lucky that the other party did not force him to buy or sell.
Thinking of this, the foundation-building cultivator quickly put away his thoughts and focused his attention on the stall again.
"..."
Next, Ye Linyuan took everyone to visit the stalls for half a day, and found bargains and bought a lot of rare items.
Among them are the spiritual treasures that Shui Hanqing, Ye Xuqiu and others used to upgrade to their natal magic weapons, as well as some precious third-level artifacts.
Unfortunately, the only rare item above the fourth level is the seed of the evergreen tree.
However, Ye Linyuan was also very calm. After all, spiritual objects above the fourth level were extremely rare, and the possibility of them being lost in the open was not high. It would be considered a great fortune for them to come across one.
Back to the topic, after wandering around for half a day, they rented a third-level practice residence in the Five Elements Immortal City.
After arriving at the mansion, Ye Linyuan directly opened the mansion's formation and cast a ban to seal the formation. Then he took out today's harvest and counted it.
During their visit to Tianxing Fairy City, they picked up seven or eight third-level treasures, including a third-level top-quality exotic iron, which was a priceless item.
Of course, everyone at this moment was more curious about the seed.
Seeing Ye Linyuan cast a ban to block his spiritual consciousness and spying, Shui Hanqing couldn't help but ask: "What's so mysterious about that seed that makes you value it so much?"
Ye Yingxu smiled, and then said: "I used my glimpse of immortal pupils to observe it, and found that the seed contained a mysterious Taoist essence, and it seemed that there was some kind of fateful opportunity between the clan leader and me."
"The final form of the Evergreen Wood is the legendary True Spirit Ancient Tree, the Longevity Ancient Tree."
"This seed is at least the seed of a fifth-level True Spirit Ancient Tree, so it should be the seed of the legendary Immortality Ancient Tree."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, with a look of joy on his face, "Legend has it that the Ancient Longevity Tree is one of the ten great ancient spiritual trees of the ancient times, and it contains the mystical essence of longevity."
"It is said that if a pure Yang spiritual treasure is made from the heart of an ancient immortal tree, and a cultivator's primordial spirit is placed in it, his life span will be more than ten times longer."
“There is also a legend that the ancient tree of immortality contains the essence of immortality. If Yuanshen Daojun can obtain a piece of the ancient tree of immortality, he will have the opportunity to regain his life.”
At this point, Ye Linyuan added: "You should know that refining this thing will not occupy the number of times you can extend your life. In other words, even if you have already taken the longevity pill, you can still use this ancient tree of longevity to extend your life."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was immediately shocked, and couldn't help but salivate at the ancient tree of immortality.
If this is really the ancient tree of immortality, then for them, is it a chance to live again?
Seeing everyone's expectant expressions, Ye Linyuan said again: "Don't be too happy too soon. Even if it is the seed of the Immortal Ancient Tree, it may not be able to be promoted to the realm of the True Spirit Ancient Tree."
“Generally speaking, the seeds of the True Spirit Ancient Tree can only inherit part of its Dao essence, so the seeds of this tree can most likely only grow to the fourth level, and the hope of being promoted to the fifth level is not great.”
“And the fourth-level Immortal Ancient Tree may only have a small part of the mysteries of the complete Immortal Ancient Tree.”
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but reveal a hint of regret.
In Ye Yingxu's sea of consciousness, Can Lingbao heard this and nodded slightly, saying, "I didn't expect that you, the clan leader, not only have amazing talent and talent, but also have such extraordinary insight."
"This spiritual seed looks like it really is the seed of the ancient immortal tree."
At this time, Ye Linyuan told the origin of this spirit seed and carefully collected it.
Such a fifth-level spirit seed possesses extraordinary potential. If given sufficient resources and spiritual energy, coupled with Ye Linyuan's spirit plant skills, its growth rate will surely increase by leaps and bounds.
Within sixty years, it will be no problem for this tree to reach the third-order rare level. By then, perhaps Ye Linyuan will be able to obtain a third-order rare treasure.
Getting back to the topic, after putting away these treasures, Ye Linyuan continued to travel around.
His main purpose of visiting these markets was to buy various rare treasures for cultivating spiritual plants.
For example, various spiritual waters for cultivating spiritual plants, spiritual substances for increasing the foundation of spiritual plants, various rare treasures for assisting the promotion of spiritual plants, and treasures for accelerating the growth of spiritual plants.
Time flies so fast that several months have passed without me noticing.
During this period, Ye Linyuan bought a large amount of second-level and lower-grade spiritual materials, which were basically used to cultivate various spiritual plants.
With these spiritual substances, Ye Linyuan estimated that within the next sixty years, he would be able to produce third-order lower-grade spiritual plants on a large scale.
Including the five elements of wood, the fruit of creation, and various bloodline elixirs, the output of these spiritual plants will increase several times.
At that time, the dozens of acres of high-quality spiritual fields of the Ye family will have a good harvest, and the materials produced will be more than enough to satisfy the cultivation of more than a dozen cultivators in the family.
It's a pity that he didn't buy a large amount of spiritual water and spiritual substances of the second-grade or above. Otherwise, Ye Linyuan would have been able to cultivate medium-grade fortune fruits on a large scale and further improve his cultivation speed.
After all, his magic power was too powerful. After breaking through the middle stage of the Golden Core, the effect of the lower-grade Creation Fruit could no longer keep up with Ye Linyuan's cultivation speed.
If he wanted to continue to increase his cultivation speed, he would either have to break through to perfection in the Wanchuan Guihai Jue or refine a rare third-order water spirit bead. Otherwise, he would have to take a higher quality fortune pill.
However, it is not easy to comprehend the "Wanchuan Guihai Jue". Ye Linyuan must at least break through to the late Jindan stage and then comprehend the essence of the super-large water veins before he can break through.
As for the rare third-tier water spirit beads, such treasures are hard to come by in the Five Elements Sea. Even if they could appear in this sea, he might not be able to plan for it with his current strength.
Only the third-grade mid-quality Creation Pill is what Ye Linyuan can see and touch at the moment.
In fact, the Ye family is now able to produce third-grade medium-quality fortune fruits, but because the quantity is too scarce, it is just a drop in the bucket for Ye Linyuan.
If he wanted to increase the output of the third-grade medium-quality fortune fruit, either his spiritual plant skills had to be upgraded to the third-grade super-quality, or he had to buy a large amount of second-grade upper-quality or above rare spiritual water.
"It is said that there is a super-large wood-attributed spiritual vein in the Yimu Sea, which should be able to produce a lot of second-grade high-quality Yimu spiritual water. I just don't know if they will be sold this time."
On the day when the barter conference started, Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart and couldn't help showing a bit of anticipation.
With this expectation, he stepped into the Five Elements Treasure Tower.
The Five Elements Treasure Tower is the property of the Five Elements Sect. It is divided into nine floors from top to bottom and can accommodate three thousand cultivators at a time.
Any cultivator above the Golden Core stage is eligible to enter the treasure house.
The scale of this auction is very large. In order to ensure smooth transactions at the barter conference, this barter conference is divided into an auction and a barter meeting.
Among them, the auction is very private, and the monks participating in the auction can bid anonymously through decrees without worrying about being discovered or threatened by others.
As for the bartering, anonymous transactions can also be carried out through laws, and only the two parties know what treasures the bidders have brought out.
"This transaction with the Five Elements Dao Sect is much safer than that with our Seven Domain Alliance."
After knowing the rules of the transaction, Ye Xuqiu couldn't help but sigh. In the transactions within the Seven Domain Alliance, at most they can escort you home safely. How can they be kept secret for both parties?
Ye Linyuan was very calm and said calmly: "The Five Elements Continent has been passed down for thousands of years, and it will not ruin its reputation for one or two treasures."
"However, if you really come across a rare treasure."
Ye Linyuan couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he said this.
In his previous life, he had seen many forces that were no less powerful than the Five Elements Taoist Sect. He naturally understood that a true treasure was enough to allow one to crush the rules.
If an ordinary Jindan cultivator took out a top-level spiritual object for forming an infant, or a rare treasure like the Heaven-Repairing Pill, it would be enough to make the Yuanying Sect break the rules.
Of course, for the sake of the sect's reputation and face, the Nascent Soul Sect will still give out a portion of the compensation, but compared to the top-level Nascent Soul spiritual objects, the value is still more than one level lower. (End of this chapter)
