As for whether it can be promoted to a fifth-level true spirit ancient tree, it depends on its own opportunity and luck, and also on whether Ye Linyuan's spiritual plant skills can reach the fourth-level super level or above.
"The potential of the ancient species has been improved, and its growth rate will be much faster in the future."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then returned to the retreat room, took out the Yi Mu Spirit Essence, and began to comprehend the power of Taoism contained therein.
Ye Linyuan's spiritual plant skills and supernatural powers have reached the Mahayana level for nearly a hundred years.
His comprehension of spiritual plant spells has reached the limit of Mahayana supernatural powers. The reason why he cannot break through to the realm of perfection is mainly due to his insufficient cultivation, and secondly, the quasi-great supernatural powers are indeed a big bottleneck.
At this moment, with the blessing of the rare treasure that matched the soul-raising technique, Ye Linyuan's understanding of the soul-raising technique suddenly broke through a bottleneck.
As time went by, about half a month later, Ye Linyuan finally made use of this trace of Yi Mu Dao essence and finally cultivated it to the realm of quasi-great supernatural power.
The so-called quasi-great supernatural power is also called perfect minor supernatural power, or super-grade minor supernatural power.
Because this kind of supernatural power has surpassed the limits of minor supernatural powers, its power is comparable to the major supernatural powers of the initial stage.
In this case, Ye Linyuan's soul-nourishing technique can already be regarded as a great magical power of the lower fourth rank.
The most crucial thing is that with the advancement of the Soul Nurturing Technique, his advanced magical powers, the Heaven-Zhexing Soul Nurturing Technique and the Qiyao Soul Nurturing Technique, have both reached the level of the third-order super-grade, with a qualitative improvement in both power and mystery.
"The Soul Cultivation Technique has reached its limit. It has reached a point where there is no further progress."
"If you want to continue to improve, you can only practice the Zhetian Yangling Technique and the Qiyao Yangling Technique."
After cultivating the third-level super-grade spirit-nourishing technique, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but show a feeling of emotion in his heart.
As the basic magical power of a spirit plant husband, the limit of the spirit cultivation technique is the realm of the third-level super-grade. If you want to go further, you can only practice advanced spells.
Both the Zhetian Yangling Technique and the Qiyao Yangling Technique are advanced spiritual plant spells. In theory, they can be cultivated to the limit of great supernatural powers, which is the realm of the fourth-level super-grade.
However, both of these spells have great limitations. The former requires the consumption of life-nurturing elixirs, while the latter is only suitable for nurturing bloodline elixirs.
No matter which one it is, it is not very universal and can only be used to cultivate high-level spiritual medicines or a very small number of bloodline spiritual medicines.
After Ye Linyuan breaks through the Nascent Soul stage, if he wants to continue to improve his spiritual plant cultivation skills, he will either need to find other advanced spiritual plant cultivation techniques with higher universality, or create his own advanced spiritual plant cultivation spells.
"It's still too early to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. I'll see if I can find other advanced spiritual plant spells in the future."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then picked up the branch of the annual ring wood and began to refine and comprehend the Taoist connotations contained therein.
Time passed like this, and before he knew it, half a month had passed. After a long time, Ye Linyuan finally figured out the mystery and upgraded his ripening method to the third-level super-quality realm.
The most important thing is that Ye Linyuan also realized a trace of weak power of the annual rings from the branches of the annual ring wood.
Once this kind of growth ring Taoism is used, it can not only extremely increase the production speed of spiritual plants, but also allow spiritual medicines to grow growth rings, directly increasing the medicinal age of the spiritual plants in an alternative way.
You know, the age of medicine is a very important thing. If you want some spiritual medicines to grow and mature, it is not enough to rely solely on ripening methods and sufficient spirituality.
For example, the Millennium Red Fruit must wait for a thousand years before it can mature. If it is one year earlier, it will not be fully mature.
In fact, not only the thousand-year-old red fruit, but any elixir that is called a hundred-year, thousand-year, or ten-thousand-year-old medicine must have a sufficient age to mature.
For example, the key ingredient of the Infant-Forming Pill is the Millennium Spiritual Ginseng, and one of the main ingredients of the Spirit-Transforming Pill is the Ten Thousand Year Old Ginseng King. Both of these must be of sufficient age to mature.
Ye Linyuan's ripening method has revealed a trace of the essence of the growth rings, which can add the power of growth rings to elixirs to a certain extent, which can be said to be extremely amazing.
"If I want to ripen the Thousand Year Old Ginseng King, my ripening method is not high enough, but it should be enough to ripen the third-level rare elixir."
Ye Linyuan pondered, and after repeated estimates, he estimated that if he tried to ripen the thousand-year-old ginseng, it would take about three hundred years to successfully ripen it, which would save a full seven hundred years.
Of course, the growing conditions for high-level spiritual medicines are very harsh. If there are no top-grade spiritual fields and spiritual plant cultivation techniques of the third-grade super-grade or above, the ripening method alone can only solve the problem of the medicine's age, but cannot replenish its medicinal power.
Moreover, different spiritual medicines require different ages to mature. Some spiritual medicines only need enough spiritual power to be promoted to the third-level rare realm.
For example, the seeds of the ancient tree of immortality are the seeds of a fifth-level spiritual medicine, and they are also blended with the Xuantian Spirit Liquid to enhance their potential. Before being promoted to the fourth level, one only needs to replenish their spirituality to greatly shorten their growth time.
"The combination of the third-level super-quality soul-raising technique and the ripening method should be able to increase the growth rate of the longevity ancient tree dramatically."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and then came to the spiritual medicine garden.
When he returned to the spiritual medicine garden, Ye Linyuan discovered that the seeds of the ancient immortal tree had completely taken root and sprouted, growing into a small sapling full of spirituality.
He did not delay and directly used the ripening method and spirit-nurturing technique to nourish the ancient immortal tree, and for this purpose he watered it with a large amount of Yi Wood Spirit Liquid.
If it were a different low-level spiritual medicine, faced with such abundant nutrients, it would probably be too weak to be replenished and die completely.
However, the Ancient Tree of Longevity is worthy of being the seed of a true ancient spiritual tree. Even after absorbing several portions of Yi Mu spiritual liquid and being blessed by a large amount of spiritual medicines, it is still full of vitality and welcomes everyone.
"You have such a rich foundation, so I will give you a helping hand."
Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, then at the cost of ten years of his life, he used the Zhetian Nurturing Spirit Technique to nourish the ancient immortal tree.
Suddenly, the essence of longevity in the young tree became more and more abundant, and the vitality and essence of longevity in it were almost about to burst out.
"It's already the limit."
Ye Linyuan whispered and gave up on continuing to use the Zhetian Yangling Technique.
After absorbing ten years of lifespan and a large amount of Yi Mu spiritual fluid, the sapling of the ancient immortal tree finally reached its limit. What followed was a period of rapid growth.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, if he performed the Zhetian Yangling Technique once every year, it would consume ten years of his life each time.
Then within twenty years at the latest, this sapling of the ancient immortal tree will surely be able to advance to the third-order rare level.
If this is done, Ye Linyuan’s life span will be consumed by nearly two hundred years.
Although consuming two hundred years of lifespan is a huge price to pay for any Jindan cultivator, Ye Linyuan's practice of Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong allows him to recover one year of consumed lifespan approximately every three years.
Therefore, for Ye Linyuan, the two hundred years of lifespan consumed can just be completely made up for.
Of course, the reason why he was willing to let him consume 200 years of his life was not just because he could restore his life span.
The most fundamental reason is that Ye Linyuan plans to use the heart of the ancient tree of immortality as the material for his third soul refining.
Because the Ancient Tree of Immortality is compatible with his wood spiritual roots, once it is refined it will surely greatly increase Ye Linyuan's lifespan.
In addition, according to previous experience, once the rare treasure with wood attribute is refined, it is very likely to bless Ye Linyuan's spiritual plant spell.
After all, Ye Linyuan's refining of the sword embryo can enhance the sword's essence and increase the power of his sword skills.
After refining the Water Spirit Pearl, Ye Linyuan's cultivation speed and the power of his water-attributed magical powers can be increased. Then, when he refines the wood-attributed treasure, it makes sense that the power of his wood-attributed spiritual plant spells will not be increased.
In this life, the reason why Ye Linyuan was able to cultivate to his current level is that his spiritual plant skills account for 90% of the credit.
Because the improvement brought by the spiritual plant spell is not just a variety of elixirs, the produced materials can also improve his other cultivation skills.
A skilled cook cannot cook without rice. Whether it is refining elixirs or refining weapons, refining puppets or building spiritual buildings, all kinds of materials are indispensable.
On the other hand, as long as there are enough materials to practice, even a pig monster can become a high-level alchemist and weapon refiner.
After all, an ordinary Yuanying Zhenjun may not be able to refine a few furnaces of Yuanying Pills in his entire life. If you can refine one furnace every few years, you should be a master of alchemy.
Therefore, improving the magic of spiritual plants and refining the seedlings of ancient immortal trees to prolong life have become Ye Linyuan’s top priority before he forms a baby.
"Twenty years, during which time Han Qing and the others should have broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core."
Ye Linyuan pondered, then came to the spiritual field and began to take care of the Creation Fruit and other elixirs.
With his current third-level super-grade spiritual plant skills, the effects of cultivating these ordinary third-level spiritual medicines immediately changed dramatically.
"..."
As time went by, several years passed without us noticing.
On this day, a letter came from outside the Yueyuan Sea, awakening Ye Linyuan from his retreat. He took the letter, but saw a line of words written on it - "From my junior brother". Ye Linyuan opened the letter and frowned slightly.
But in the letter, there was a line of words:
Junior Brother Ye, as fellow disciples, it is fate that has brought us to this point.
As your brother, I believe that you and I have no choice, and I, your junior brother, have no other choice either. This is the fate that is destined for you and me.
However, only after I stepped out of the Seven Realms Alliance did I realize how vast the world is, and there may be more than just this choice between you and me.
In the Cangling Sea, people like you and me are like carp swimming in the river.
You and I are brothers from the same sect. If we can put aside our grudges and join forces, and use our two great golden elixirs to kill our fellow practitioners, wouldn't we both have a chance to achieve enlightenment?
……
Li Xuangeng spoke slowly and played the emotional card for a long time.
When it came to signing, he continued: Since junior brother has inherited the legacy of uncle, if my guess is correct, then the other token of the sect's treasury must be in junior brother's hands, right?
The treasure house contained all kinds of rare treasures, including rare spiritual objects for forming infants, rare longevity pills, and other precious items.
If you and I were to open the sect's treasure house, we would definitely have a chance to achieve Nascent Soul status in the future.
In my opinion, why don't you and I join forces and share the opportunity. One day, we can step into the realm of True Lord together and revive the reputation of Haohai Sect. Wouldn't that be a good story in Cangling Sea?
"Om-"
As Ye Linyuan finished reading, a trace of Taoism emerged from the letter, completely burning the letter into ashes.
Obviously, in order to prevent the news from leaking, Li Xuangeng had hidden multiple tricks in the letter. Anyone who opened it except Ye Linyuan would have the letter burned to ashes.
After Ye Linyuan finished reading the letter, it burned itself and disappeared.
"His mind is still so meticulous."
After reading the letter, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but smile.
Every word Li Xuangeng said was sincere, but Ye Linyuan didn't believe a single word he said.
If he was stupid enough to be fooled by his fellow practitioners, he would not have achieved what he has today.
Of course, Ye Linyuan was also very interested in the treasure house of Canghai Sect, but he was not in a hurry.
Because he knew very well that time was on his side, it would be better to let Li Xuangeng wait a little longer.
Li Xuangeng's life span is over 600 years. Even if he has broken through to the late Jindan stage, if he cannot find a rare third-level longevity elixir, he will have no hope of forming a fetus.
So Li Xuangeng must be very anxious. He wants to get the third-level rare longevity elixir and infant-forming spiritual objects in the treasury. He also wants to get the treasures to improve his cultivation and strength.
Only in this way can he kill his fellow practitioners in the late Jindan stage, and only then will he have hope of breaking through to the Yuanying stage in the future.
Ye Linyuan is less than three hundred years old. He has plenty of time and patience to wait. When Li Xuangeng becomes really anxious, more flaws will be exposed.
In this way, Ye Linyuan will have greater confidence in completely dealing with Li Xuangeng in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan calmly stood up and then came to the spiritual medicine garden.
After several years of care, a batch of good fortune fruits in his hands finally matured ahead of schedule.
Under the care of the third-level super-grade spiritual plant technology, the time for the Good Fortune Fruit, which originally took thirty years to mature, was shortened to twenty years.
This is not the limit of the third-level super-grade ripening method, but the limit that the Fruit of Fortune can bear. This kind of third-level elixir needs hundreds of years to mature in the external catastrophe, and being shortened to twenty years is already the limit.
In addition to the shortened ripening time, the quality of the Creation Fruit has also been significantly improved.
Originally, one acre of high-quality spiritual field could only grow fifty fortune fruits, and only about one-tenth of them could be promoted to medium-quality fortune fruits.
Now, under Ye Linyuan's care, with the help of a large amount of second-level spiritual materials, the probability of being promoted to a medium-grade fortune fruit has increased to 30%, and even a small number of fortune fruits can be promoted to high-grade.
The medicinal power of the precious pill refined from the middle-grade fortune fruit is three times that of the low-grade fortune pill. Taking this pill and practicing for a year can increase the six magical powers.
Ye Linyuan himself continued to practice hard, but his magic power only increased by four levels in a year.
If one takes a top-grade Creation Pill, one can increase his magic power by eighteen times a year, which is equivalent to four or five years of Ye Linyuan's hard practice.
“No wonder the ancients were able to cultivate the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong to the Nascent Soul stage without taking the path of swallowing the Dao.”
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart and couldn't help showing a look of emotion.
If the people in ancient times took high-quality Creation Pills to practice every day, they could cultivate eighteen magical powers in a year, eighteen hundred in a hundred years, and fourteen thousand four hundred in eight hundred years.
Even if one deducts the three hundred years of time spent on Qi training and foundation building, it would be more than enough to cultivate nine thousand magical powers.
Combined with daily practice, the blessing of the Taoist temple, and the blessing of the Wanchuan Guihai Jue, it would be easy to cultivate more than ten thousand magical powers in five hundred years.
And for Canghai Mingyue to cultivate to the great perfection of the golden elixir, he only needs less than 11,000 magic powers.
In ancient times, resources were abundant, and most cultivators practiced by taking elixirs of the same level.
Even though the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong consumes more energy, as long as there is a Nascent Soul sect to cultivate it, and it is practiced by taking high-quality Creation Pills on a daily basis, it is nothing.
It is even possible to take more precious third-level rare treasures, which will be more than enough to cultivate to the great perfection of the golden elixir.
Unfortunately, in this era, with the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm completely shattered, the concentration of spiritual energy in heaven and earth has dropped by more than one level.
In ancient times, the sea area of the Seven Domain Alliance was covered with super-large third-level spiritual veins, and even the best spiritual fields were hundreds of acres.
But in today's Seven Domain Alliance, there is only one super-large third-grade superior spiritual vein left, and it is also the resting place of the true spirit of heaven and earth.
Not to mention the best spiritual fields, even the top-grade spiritual fields are less than a hundred acres, and most of them were cultivated by Ye Linyuan in recent years.
"I really envy the monks of ancient times."
Ye Linyuan spoke with emotion, and then picked up the fruits of good fortune.
The Ye family now has less than fifty acres of top-grade spiritual fields, of which ten acres of blood spiritual soil are in the Xuanyuan Sea, mainly used to grow blood spiritual medicines.
There are more than 30 acres in Yueyuan Sea, five acres of which are used to plant precious spiritual trees and plants, and more than ten acres are used to plant five elements wood in preparation for expanding the scale of the spiritual field.
After all, to open up a top-grade spiritual field, third-order five-element wood is indispensable.
The remaining twenty acres were all used to plant the fruit of good fortune.
This time, Ye Linyuan picked all the 20 acres of Good Fortune Fruit, and got a total of 1,000 Good Fortune Fruits, including 301 medium-grade Good Fortune Fruits and 692 low-grade Good Fortune Fruits.
However, there are only seven of the most precious top-grade Creation Fruits, which is less than one percent of the total.
"There are plenty of mid-grade fortune fruits. There should be some left for me to use in cultivation."
Ye Linyuan pondered, he immediately came to the spiritual medicine garden, and then started to refine the furnace to make elixir.
Ye Linyuan also used the large furnace alchemy method to refine the elixir. It took him more than a month to refine all the fruits of fortune.
In the end, Ye Linyuan harvested a total of more than 4,900 low-grade Fortune Pills, more than 1,400 mid-grade Fortune Pills, and only 27 of the most precious high-grade Fortune Pills.
"I can't use up all of this batch of mid-grade fortune pills."
Ye Linyuan calculated that with the blessing of the Wanchuan Guihai Jue, his speed in refining pills was several times faster than that of a Jindan cultivator, but he could only take thirty-six Creation Pills every year.
Only 720 pills are needed in 20 years, leaving more than 700 medium-grade fortune pills. Each person in the Ye family can get hundreds of superior golden pills on average.
After all, apart from Ye Linyuan, the Ye family only has five superior golden elixirs: Shui Hanqing, Zhou Yuwan, Chu Lingxi, Ye Xuqiu, and Ye Yingxu.
Hundreds of medium-grade fortune pills every twenty years are enough to greatly increase their cultivation speed. After all, although they practice superior skills, they are not based on strong mana. (End of this chapter)
