"Be cautious."
When Master Weishui noticed that Xishi Xuanjin, who was positioned by Tianji, had left, he immediately revealed a sneer.
Ye Linyuan's sudden departure with the help of Canghai made him more certain that his cultivation was not too strong, so after sensing the approximate location, he immediately took the teleportation array to chase after him.
However, Ye Linyuan's flying speed was not very fast. After flying for about millions of miles, he had just arrived in a deep sea when he was caught up by Weishui Zhenren.
"Eighth level of Golden Core."
The Taoist priest from Weishui just caught up and after sensing Ye Linyuan's breath, he immediately revealed a sneer.
But he rushed towards him, and with a flip of his palm, he summoned a set of formation equipment to suppress Ye Linyuan.
They were twelve immortal swords emitting murderous light, and they were all top-grade magical weapons with dual attributes of gold and water.
At this time, with the urging of Taoist Weishui, infinite sword intent was suppressed towards Ye Linyuan, and for a moment the whole world was shrouded in sword energy.
"Weishui Sword Formation."
After seeing these magical swords, Ye Linyuan's expression suddenly changed slightly.
These twelve immortal swords are all made of black gold with dual attributes of water and gold. When formed into a sword formation, they possess the power to sweep across all directions.
Originally, as a water magic practitioner, Taoist Weishui's combat power should have been at the bottom of his peers. However, as this sword formation swept through the sky, he suddenly possessed the combat power of the best in his peers.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, even though this Taoist priest from Weishui is not as powerful as the Black Flame Dragon Prince, he is still slightly better than the Black Water Mystic Snake King.
You know, the Black Water Mystic Serpent was crowned king through fighting, and the combat power of such a strong man is destined to be rare among the same level.
Even if Han Chi, Douzhan Jinyuan and others broke through to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, if they did not take the path of becoming kings through fighting, they would most likely be half a level weaker than him.
"It is indeed powerful, but unfortunately I am stronger than you."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and then decisively activated the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag.
As twenty-four formation flags flew across the sky, they instantly covered the entire ocean, and a fierce collision broke out with Weishui Taoist's Weishui Sword Formation.
"So strong."
When Taoist Weishui heard this, his expression changed slightly.
But when he activated the Weishui Sword Formation to fight back, he was still vaguely suppressed by Ye Linyuan.
This was a little hard for him to believe. One had to know that the magic power of the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir was at least 50% stronger than that of the Eighth Level of the Golden Elixir.
As they are both water magic practitioners, how can Ye Linyuan suppress him with his formation?
"The situation is not good."
Taoist Weishui's heart skipped a beat, and then he suddenly flicked his sleeves and patted his storage bag, and immediately more than a dozen golden crocodile Taoist soldiers flew out of it.
These Golden Crocodile Taoist soldiers seemed to be good at defense. The lowest among them were at the early Golden Core stage, and the strongest was even at the late Golden Core stage.
At this moment, as this group of Taoist soldiers formed a formation, they suddenly burst out with a force that could shake the eighth level of the Golden Core. The engine room's defense could even withstand the Golden Core's great perfection.
"Golden Crocodile Dao Soldier, it's a pity that it's just this good."
Seeing these Taoist soldiers, Ye Linyuan immediately sneered.
But as he waved his sleeves, thirty-six thunder dragon stakes appeared in the air, and immediately a tremendous force of thunder fell down, transforming into two thunder dragons that collided violently with the demon crocodile Taoist soldiers.
In just twenty years, Ye Linyuan's strength has changed beyond recognition.
After breaking through the eighth level of Golden Core, the quality of Ye Linyuan's mana did not change much.
However, as his realm improved, the strength of his soul, the power of his golden elixir, and the power of his supernatural powers all increased by about 20%, and the thickness of his magic power increased by a large margin.
At this time, he activated the Thunder Dragon Pillar again. Although he was still unable to unleash an attack comparable to that of the fake infant, he was able to summon two Thunder Dragons comparable to the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir.
Faced with the Thunder Dragon's full-force attack, the Demon Crocodile Taoist Soldiers were unable to resist at all. They were completely defeated in just a few encounters, and then they were easily slaughtered.
"Oops."
When Taoist Weishui saw this, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately gathered the power of the sword formation and wanted to break out of the coverage of the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag.
But Ye Linyuan sneered, then flicked his sleeves and activated the Wanhua Sword Technique.
After his cultivation broke through the eighth level of the Golden Core, the power of the Wanhua Sword Technique increased by another 20%. Coupled with the improvement of the ten major sword techniques in recent years, Ye Linyuan's overall strength has increased a lot.
At this time, he activated the Wanhua Sword Art, which immediately turned into a sword domain and suppressed the sword formation of Taoist Weishui.
"Damn it."
Sensing that something was wrong, Taoist Weishui immediately realized that he could not delay any longer.
He gritted his teeth decisively, took out a talisman from his sleeve, then gritted his teeth and activated it to attack in all directions.
In an instant, this precious talisman turned into a huge blade, which instantly split the Wanhua Sword Domain into pieces.
"A fourth-order, low-grade treasure talisman at the level of a fake infant?"
Ye Linyuan frowned slightly, then decisively activated the two major formations.
In an instant, the Thunder Dragon and the Sea Dragon merged into a giant Thunder Dragon that slammed down and swallowed the giant blade on the spot, and continued to suppress Weishui Zhenren with its remaining power.
Zhenren Weishui's face suddenly changed, and he immediately activated the Weishui Sword Formation to fight against it, but the sword formation was completely defeated in an instant and scattered.
"puff--"
In an instant, Master Weishui spat out a mouthful of blood in confusion.
Before he could react, a peerless sword came crashing down from the sky, suppressing him. He looked desperate and said, "My life is over."
"Chong-"
With a clang, Weishui Zhenren was completely destroyed and fell into the ocean with endless regret.
At the same time, Ye Linyuan took a deep breath and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
After breaking through the Golden Core Great Perfection, his strength was much stronger than before, and the backlash from activating the fusion of the two formations was also reduced a lot.
But even so, killing Weishui Zhenren came at a considerable price.
"This old-time Golden Elixir Master who has lived for nearly eight hundred years is indeed not someone that can be easily defeated."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, and then took a deep breath.
He calmly picked up Master Weishui's sword formation, but his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
This set of sword formations are all made of third-grade high-quality black gold, and each piece is a high-quality magic weapon of extraordinary power.
You know, top-grade magic weapons are extremely precious, and it is difficult to obtain them even in the late Jindan stage. Generally speaking, those who have reached the great perfection of Jindan may be able to obtain some, but it is also difficult to collect twelve pieces with the same attributes.
This set of magic weapons in particular are all made of top-grade black gold of golden nature, which should be a rare item in the entire Eastern Region.
"Adding to that rare third-level black gold, could it be that this Weishui Taoist is in control of a third-level black gold vein?"
Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, and couldn't help showing a hint of excitement.
High-level black gold veins are of extraordinary value. If he could control this vein, he might be able to greatly increase the probability of the Golden Ape Clan transforming into Fighting Golden Apes.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan checked Weishui Zhenren's storage bag again and found that in addition to the Renshui spiritual liquid, there was indeed a large amount of black gold.
These included dozens of third-level mid-to-low-grade black golds and seven pieces of second-level rare black golds.
"Looks like everything's fine."
"Those Golden Crocodile Taoist soldiers should also have been fed by Immortal Weishui using the Black Gold ore veins."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and after a moment he decided to go to the lair of Weishui Zhenren.
This Weishui Zhenren was just a casual cultivator from the Tianhe Sea area. He was an ordinary cultivator for the first three hundred years of his life, and only broke through to the Golden Core stage when he was over two hundred and eighty years old.
After this person broke through the Jindan stage, he went to the deep sea and conquered a small sea area. Then he seemed to begin to rise rapidly, breaking through to the late Jindan stage in just two hundred years.
Now it seems that its sudden rise was probably related to that small sea area.
The most crucial thing is that Taoist Weishui was just a casual cultivator, without any Taoist companions, descendants or disciples. His death might not lead to the leakage of the mineral vein.
If the Taoist priest Weishui had any disciples, then after his soul lamp went out, the disciples would definitely take the treasure and run away, and then Ye Linyuan would get nothing even if he went there.
So since Taoist Weishui is a casual cultivator, Ye Linyuan decided to go and take a look.
At this time, Ye Linyuan was flying silently, and finally arrived at the lair of Weishui Zhenren after two months.
"Weishui Sea Area."
Looking at this small sea area, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
The Weishui Sea is not very large, only 100,000 miles in size. In the core of this sea is a continent with a radius of nearly 10,000 miles. Perhaps because of the fear of mineral vein leakage, Weishui Zhenren did not migrate the human race to this marginal sea area, so there are no human races in the entire Weishui Sea.
Apart from the Taoist priest Weishui, the only dominant group here is the group of golden crocodiles raised by the Taoist priest Weishui.
At this time, Ye Linyuan came to the Weishui Continent. With just a simple calculation, he discovered the location of the black gold vein.
Deep in a desert in the southwest corner of the vast continent, he found the entrance to the black gold vein.
"This is it."
Looking at the desert in front of him, Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart.
The Taoist priest Weishui was very cautious and arranged a set of third-order superior grade compound formation outside the mineral vein, which had the effect of concealing the aura and concealing the secrets.
If Ye Linyuan was not a person who was comparable to a fourth-rank mid-grade astronomical master and had relatively accurate information, it would not be possible to find the mineral veins inside.
Now that he had found it, Ye Linyuan did not hesitate.
But he decisively activated the formation and forcibly broke the formation here, and then directly entered the underground black gold vein.
"boom--"
When he first entered the mine, Ye Linyuan sensed a murderous intent coming towards him, and saw a huge golden crocodile in the middle stage of the Golden Core rushing towards him.
In addition, a group of foundation-building demon crocodiles attacked, as if they wanted to sneak attack and kill him at the entrance.
"Ants shake the sky."
Facing the attack of the golden crocodile demon clan, Ye Linyuan simply casually used the Wanhua Sword Technique.
In an instant, endless sword energy swept across the eight directions, stirring the world with monstrous sword energy, and finally killed the golden elixir demon crocodile inside.
The remaining foundation-building demon crocodiles were immediately frightened to the point of their livers and gallbladders breaking. They prostrated themselves on the ground in extreme fear and said, "Senior, spare my life."
"Humph--"
Ye Linyuan did not continue to attack, but said indifferently: "Hand over the remaining soul and the essence of life."
The faces of the foundation-building demon crocodiles suddenly changed when they heard this, but they still gritted their teeth and handed over their soul blood.
Ye Linyuan picked up a token and merged all the soul blood into the token. Then he said calmly: "Go there, all of you, stay here and dig for the treasure mine for me."
"If you dare to hide or neglect it, I will make your souls fly away."
"I don't dare to wait."
The fund-building crocodiles immediately trembled in fear and did not dare to have the slightest thought of resistance.
Ye Linyuan's token is called the Beast Taming Token. This token can absorb the soul of the monster beast and is enough to control the life and death of the monster clan. However, it can be dissolved by the Purifying Liquid.
The method used by the Five Elements Taoist Sect to control spiritual beasts is actually somewhat similar to the Beast Taming Order.
Ye Linyuan naturally looked down on these golden crocodiles. He planned to keep them only to mine for treasures.
After capturing these golden crocodiles, Ye Linyuan began to look at the mineral vein.
After some investigation and calculation, Ye Linyuan discovered that this was a third-level black gold vein rather than a metallic ground vein. It should have been formed after the dissipation of the former super-large Gengjin ground vein.
After years of mining by Master Weishui, nearly half of the mineral vein has been mined. Although there is still a lot left, there are no more rare third-level treasures.
"If the mining is completed, combined with the Soul Feeding Pills mixed with the Transformation Fruit, it should not be difficult for the King Kong Giant Ape Clan to transform thirty or forty Golden Core Demon Kings."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then looked at the golden crocodiles and said, "I will give you sixty years. If you can mine all the ore within sixty years, I will let you return to freedom."
"I will even leave you 10% of my resources. If you fail, you will die in a hundred years."
Upon hearing this, the golden crocodiles present were immediately surprised and said, "Master, rest assured, we will definitely do our best to mine."
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan calmly stood up and collected all the black gold ore stored in the earth veins.
A large amount of second-level black gold ore is stored in the entire black gold mine. Obviously, Taoist Weishui does not dare to sell these black gold ores in large quantities, and can only use them to cultivate golden crocodiles at the golden elixir level.
However, the Golden Crocodile Clan had limited potential and could only digest a limited amount, and in the end, only a dozen Golden Core Demon Kings were born.
At this time, Ye Linyuan estimated that the large amount of second-level precious ore left in the vein was enough for the King Kong Giant Ape clan to digest for decades.
After collecting these treasure mines, Ye Linyuan stayed here for a few days and set up a more advanced formation.
He then used his attainments in divine secrets to conceal his intentions, and after confirming that even the Fake Infant Ancestor could not see through him, he left quietly.
After returning to the Seven Domain Alliance, Ye Linyuan first came to the Five Elements Taoist Sect. Relying on his friendship with Meng Nanfeng, he rented a third-grade superior earth fire chamber, and then began to refine the rare black gold ore.
Ye Linyuan’s second soul refining item was a rare second-tier sword embryo. If he wanted to upgrade it to the black gold sword embryo, he would need a sword embryo made of the same material.
However, the third-level rare black gold is too strong, and it is extremely difficult to refine it.
With Ye Linyuan's current cultivation level, it is a bit difficult for him to refine a third-level rare sword embryo with his own magic power. Fortunately, it is much easier with the help of the Earth Fire Chamber.
The power of the third-grade superior earth fire chamber was increased several times with the help of the formation. Although the speed was a bit slower, it was enough to refine a third-grade diluted sword embryo.
Ye Linyuan used the Earth Fire Chamber to refine it for 9981 days before he finally refined this rare black gold ore into the purest liquid.
He then spent another seven days shaping it, and finally obtained a rare third-level sword embryo.
"My weapon refining attainments have indeed not regressed."
Seeing the sword embryo taking shape, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but smile.
Although he was only refining the purest sword embryo, and had not artificially carved the 'acquired killing pattern' into it, the natural pattern of the black gold vein was still enough to be called astonishing.
What Ye Linyuan needs is the purest characteristics of the sword embryo.
After all, the sword embryo is more plastic, and the magic power after refining is also more plastic and inclusive.
If the finished immortal sword is refined too early, although it can gain stronger attack power, the promotion conditions of the second soul refining object will be much more stringent.
In comparison, to refine the spirit with the sword embryo, Ye Linyuan only needs to find the fourth-level rare black gold in the future, and then cast it into the shape of the sword embryo. He does not need to consider whether the acquired killing pattern in it is compatible.
"After returning, it's time to refine the spirit."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, put away the sword embryo and immediately returned to the Seven Domain Alliance. Then he began to refine the sword embryo with the magical soul refining technique.
The golden sword embryo is more difficult to refine. It took Ye Linyuan a full month to completely refine it into his body.
After completely refining this sword embryo, Ye Linyuan suddenly discovered that his magic power had undergone tremendous changes.
The Xuanjin Sword Embryo, which had almost lost its effect, suddenly became more effective than before.
Ye Linyuan felt that the quality of his magic power had increased several times, and was two levels stronger than a sword cultivator of the same level. He was almost comparable to the False Infant Ancestor, a sword cultivator who specialized in gold magic.
"Comparable to a sword cultivator's false infant. If his cultivation reaches the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, he should be comparable to a sword cultivator's Nascent Soul."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly and couldn't help but smile.
The combat power of a sword cultivator is top-notch at the same level. A fake infant can be almost comparable to an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, and an early Nascent Soul cultivator can fight two at the same level alone.
He has only reached the eighth level of Golden Core cultivation, but he already has the magic power of a false infant sword cultivator. If he can reach the great perfection of Golden Core cultivation, his magic power will probably be comparable to that of a sword cultivator's Nascent Soul.
By then, when he activates the Wanhua Sword Technique, perhaps his combat power will be enough to rival that of an early Nascent Soul. Considering the endurance and healing abilities of the Canghai Mingyue Gong, he may be able to prove that he can defeat an early Nascent Soul.
"With the cultivation of Jindan, defeating Yuanying in this life may be much easier than in the last life."
Ye Linyuan pondered it in his mind, and then couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
According to his speculation, his current strength should be comparable to that of the fallen Tiancang Sword Master, and he should be a top-level fighter at the false infant level.
"Do you want to capture that seven-headed dragon snake?"
Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly.
That seven-headed dragon snake is also a top-level fake infant. With his current strength, he may not be weaker than it, but it will be difficult to kill it.
"Wait a little longer. Once your cultivation reaches the Great Perfection of the Golden Core and all of the ten great sword arts have reached the Great Perfection realm, it shouldn't be difficult to capture the seven-headed dragon snake."
Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, then walked out of the retreat room.
He had been in seclusion since he came back, and when Shui Hanqing saw him coming out, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How was your trip?"
"It went pretty well."
Ye Linyuan smiled, then touched Shui Hanqing and said, "After this trip, I feel more confident about forming a baby." (End of this chapter)
