Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "Let's throw a stone to test the water and see how deep this pool is."
Having said this, Ye Linyuan took the two of them away, and not long after, a deep-sea monster in the early stage of the Golden Core arrived.
The deep-sea monster was in a panic and was immediately driven into the Nascent Soul ruins.
Immediately, the entire secret realm reacted, and eight ghost cultivators rushed out one after another, quickly devouring the deep-sea beast.
When Ye Xuqiu saw this scene, his pupils condensed as he said, "Eight fake infant ghost cultivators and two Yuanying early stage ghost cultivators have revealed their auras. They should have lost their minds under the curse."
Ye Linyuan did not speak, but continued to ask: "Are there any stronger ghost cultivators?"
“No other scent was detected.”
Ye Xuqiu spoke, and then said: "It is also possible that the inner elixir at the early stage of the golden elixir cannot attract the attention of stronger ghost cultivators."
Ye Linyuan nodded. If there was a ghost cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, then it would have to be at least a demon king in the late stage of the Golden Core to attract His attention.
However, demon kings in the late Jindan stage are rare and it is not easy to find them.
He thought about it and couldn't help but take out the inner elixir from the storage bag. This was an inner elixir of a demon king in the late Jindan stage, obtained from the cave world.
As he threw the inner elixir into it, all the fake infants in the cave world immediately rushed to grab it, and even the two ghost cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage were alarmed.
The most important thing is that in the depths of the ruins, there appeared a breath that made Ye Linyuan feel a little palpitating.
"A ghost cultivator in the middle stage of Yuanying."
Ye Linyuan spoke slowly and breathed a sigh of relief.
When a Nascent Soul cultivator turns to Ghost Cultivation, his level will basically be one or two levels lower than when he was alive. A Ghost Cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage was most likely a powerful one in the late Nascent Soul stage in his previous life.
Fortunately, ghost cultivators have no physical bodies, and their strength is often very weak among those of the same level. The combat power of a ghost cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul is generally only at the level of the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
Even if the opponent is stronger, he can at most fight against two ordinary early Nascent Soul cultivators working together. Considering that the opponent is very weak due to years of dormancy, his combat power may be weaker than expected.
"This battle can be fought."
Ye Linyuan pondered. According to his understanding, ghost cultivators are basically one level weaker than cultivators of the same level.
A ghost cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul is counted as one in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, and two ghost cultivators in the early stage of the Nascent Soul are counted as two false Nascent Soul cultivators.
The remaining eight fake infant ghost cultivators can only be considered as stronger Golden Core Great Perfection cultivators.
Even if this is the case, these ghost cultivators are still extremely powerful, but they have great weaknesses in the human world.
For example, ghost cultivators are afraid of fire, and are even more afraid of the power of heavenly thunder. Some special talismans can also restrain ghost cultivators.
As long as Ye Linyuan takes advantage of the ghost cultivators' weaknesses, it will be much easier to defeat them.
"Go back first."
After determining the opponent's approximate strength, Ye Linyuan felt slightly relieved.
He planned to prepare for some more time, prepare some spiritual objects that could restrain the ghost cultivators, and by the way, wait for Han Chi and others to break through to the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir.
In this way, even if they fail in the battle, at least the possibility of escaping unscathed will increase a lot.
"..."
After gaining a certain understanding of the Nascent Soul ruins, Ye Linyuan returned to the cave world.
Because his cultivation had reached the great perfection of the Golden Core, in the following period of time, Ye Linyuan began to focus most of his energy on preparing the Nascent Soul ruins.
In order to ensure victory in this battle, Ye Linyuan began to think of ways to strengthen his own strength.
First, he refined the seven pairs of fangs of the seven-headed dragon snake into seven pairs of top-grade magic weapons, which he then integrated into the seven human-shaped puppets.
In addition, a batch of third-level spiritual materials with thunder attributes were added to the seven puppets. They were all refined from the branches of the thunder dragon wood, further increasing the combat effectiveness of the seven puppets.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, after being jointly strengthened by Ye Linyuan and Ye Yingxu, the combat power of these seven puppets should be comparable to that of the eighth level of the Golden Core, and the military formation they form will be enough to confront the false infant cultivators head-on.
What's even more rare is that they have great restraint on fake infant ghost cultivators, and when they work together they are able to quickly surround and kill the fake infant ghost cultivators.
In addition to the seven human-shaped puppets, Ye Linyuan also used the leather of seven dragon snakes to refine seven fourth-grade low-grade talismans.
Among them is a fourth-order low-grade talisman with thunder attribute, which is one of Ye Linyuan’s trump cards.
After Ye Linyuan added a large amount of rare materials to the scales and bones of the seven-headed dragon snake, he refined it into a third-level rare battle armor. Ye Linyuan planned to temporarily hand over this armor to Ye Xuqiu.
After Ye Xuqiu's outburst, his combat power was extremely strong, but he was also too fragile. If he did not have a top-level treasure to protect himself, he would be in danger of being killed by others.
This seven-headed dragon-snake armor is the protective item that Ye Linyuan prepared for him.
In addition to these preparations, Ye Linyuan also specially purchased more than 20 third-grade top-grade thunder talismans through various channels to ensure that everyone participating in the battle had a thunder talisman.
In addition, Ye Linyuan cut down a third-grade top-quality thunder dragon wood and used it to refine more than a dozen fine protective magic weapons, thunder dragon beads.
Although they cannot unleash the full power of this thunder-attribute magic weapon due to the degree of compatibility of their magic power, it still has a certain restraining effect on ghost energy and spells.
Apart from Ye Linyuan, other members of the Ye family also made preparations to the best of their ability.
For example, Shui Hanqing used his expertise in perfume-making to specially refine a batch of soul-fixing incense that could stabilize the power of the soul.
Ye Xuqiu refined a batch of 'Fire Sea Golden Lotus Talismans', which also had a significant restraining effect on golden elixir and false infant ghost cultivators.
Ye Yingxu also prepared a batch of precious amulets to ensure that everyone would not be easily restrained by the ghost cultivators' spells.
With continuous preparations like this, twenty years had passed before we knew it.
On this day, after Ye Linyuan arrived at the retreat room, he carefully took out a third-grade top-grade alchemy furnace and began to take out a batch of spiritual medicines.
This time, the elixirs that Ye Linyuan took out were not simple, but the most top-level rare treasures such as Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum, Blood Vein Fruit, Blood Spirit Grass, Blood Jade Flower, etc.
"With my current cultivation level and years of hard work, the success rate of refining these pills should be quite high."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, revealing a serious look for the first time.
In fact, he had already cultivated these rare and precious medicines for many years. The reason why he had never started to refine the medicine was mainly because he was worried that his alchemy skills were not enough.
The value of this kind of rare third-grade elixir is so incredible that even if one pill is missing, it will be a huge loss for the Nascent Soul force.
Although Ye Linyuan is rich, he is reluctant to waste these precious medicines.
At this time, Ye Linyuan had been in the state of Golden Elixir Great Perfection for many years, and Zhou Yuwan and others had also been honing their skills for many years. They could not delay too much longer.
Rare elixirs are too hard to come by, so you must start by practicing with the less valuable ones.
Ye Linyuan immediately took out the Blood Spirit Grass and then began to carefully refine the rare Blood Spirit Pill.
In order to refine the elixir this time, Ye Linyuan even specially sought out a rare third-grade spiritual fire - Qingyuan Spiritual Flame, and also specially bought a third-grade top-grade treasure tripod.
With the help of spiritual fire and treasure tripod, Ye Linyuan's refining was relatively smooth.
About three days later, Ye Linyuan successfully refined the blood spirit pills, and in the end he produced as many as four pills.
Although this is related to the low difficulty of refining the Blood Spirit Pill, it also makes Ye Linyuan very excited.
So next, Ye Linyuan continued to open the furnace to refine the elixir, and finally refined three furnaces each of Blood Vein Pill, Blood Spirit Pill, and Blood Jade Pill.
In the end, nine Blood Vein Pills were made, ten Blood Jade Pills were made, and a total of twelve Blood Spirit Pills were made.
"With this batch of bloodline pills, Han Chi and the others will be able to break through."
Ye Linyuan collected this batch of pills, and then continued to refine the Bu Tian Pill, and finally refined a total of three pills.
"It's not that my alchemy skills are insufficient, but with my current level of cultivation, refining three pills is already the limit."
After finally refining three Bu Tian Pills, Ye Linyuan vaguely had some enlightenment.
However, he had no regrets about this, because refining the Bu Tian Dan was extremely difficult. With his current alchemy skills, he was able to make three pills, which made him a top-notch fourth-level lower-grade alchemist. After refining this batch of pills, Ye Linyuan handed them over to Han Chi and others, and then waited for everyone's breakthrough.
In order to ensure that Han Chi could transform into a dragon and not have his blood mutate into some alien beast, Ye Linyuan specially gave Han Chi a dragon fruit.
After obtaining these elixirs, these spirit beasts and demons began to retreat and break through.
About three months later, the water silkworm was the first to successfully break through and transformed into a king-blood water silkworm at the half-step true spirit level.
At this point, the potential of the water silkworms has become extraordinary. They are already able to produce rare third-grade spiritual silk, and will also greatly accelerate the promotion speed of Ye Linyuan's Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag.
However, the water silkworm's combat power is still weak. Although it has become a descendant of the King Blood True Spirit, its actual combat power is at most at the seventh level of the Golden Core.
Not long after the water silkworm achieved its breakthrough, the cold chi successfully achieved its second breakthrough.
Its bloodline underwent a benign mutation and turned into an extremely rare cold soul dragon. Moreover, because of taking the dragon fruit, its bloodline was only half a step away from transforming into a king blood dragon.
Once Han Chi transforms into a royal blood dragon, and becomes the cold soul dragon king, the power of its bloodline will be enough to rival that of ordinary spirits of heaven and earth. In the future, there may even be a glimmer of hope for it to transform into a dragon.
Even though she hasn't taken that step yet, Han Chi's current combat power is very impressive. With the blessing of the blood of the Half-Step Royal Blood Dragon, her strength is already considered to be half of the True Spirit of Heaven and Earth.
Although it is much weaker than the Fighting Golden Ape, it is already one step ahead of the Black Water Serpent.
As Han Chi broke through, Fushan'ao and Cangyuebei also broke through the royal blood one after another, but Cangyuebei was weaker, and Fushan'ao was better at defense than attack.
For Ye Linyuan, the most important thing is that after the Cang Yue Bei broke through, it gave birth to the third-level rare treasure "Cang Yue Pearl".
This Cangyue Pearl is similar to the Origin of Canghai. To others, it is just a medium-level spiritual object for forming an infant, but to Ye Linyuan, it is of incredible value.
Because this thing is the perfect thing for forming a Nascent Soul of the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, once refined it can greatly improve the quality of the Nascent Soul.
Ye Linyuan's innate magical power, the rising moon from the sea, has been comprehended by him to the quasi-great magical power realm. Now he has gathered the two most core and perfect spiritual objects for forming an infant. It is almost certain that he will cultivate into the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.
For Ye Linyuan, the quality of his Nascent Soul should not be a problem. The most important thing next is whether he can let his Nascent Soul face the thunder tribulation directly.
Of course, these are all things that happened later. The big event for the Ye family at this time was the birth of the ninth-level golden elixirs.
In addition to these great spiritual beasts, Zhou Yuwan and Chu Lingxi also cultivated to the ninth level of the Golden Core soon after.
Zhou Yuwan and Chu Lingxi cultivated the ninth danwen. Not only did they each take a Bu Tian Dan, but they also took a drop of Xuan Tian Lingye. It was natural for them to break through the ninth level of Jindan.
Over the years, since Ye Linyuan transplanted the Xuantian spiritual roots into the fourth-level spiritual vein, the output of Xuantian spiritual roots has obviously increased greatly.
The current Xuantian spiritual root can produce one drop of Xuantian spiritual liquid every year. At this rate, it will take about 365 years to collect a full portion.
Xuantian Spirit Liquid is a top-grade spiritual substance for forming a Nascent Soul. As long as you can collect one portion, you can greatly improve the quality of the Nascent Soul, and thus increase the probability of cultivating a Heavenly Nascent Soul.
In ancient times, although this kind of top-grade spiritual object for forming a baby was rare, it was not a treasure that could be encountered by chance.
As far as Ye Linyuan knows, in the ancient world of Jiutian in ancient times, there were a total of nine Xuantian spiritual roots. These Xuantian spiritual roots could transform a large amount of Xuantian spiritual energy, Xuantian spiritual liquid and even the Xuantian origin.
In that era, as long as one could afford the price, it was not too difficult to buy the Xuantian Spirit Liquid. Many core disciples of the Nascent Soul sects, and even independent cultivators with better opportunities, could take the Xuantian Spirit Liquid to form a Nascent Soul.
The core descendants of some of the top Yuanshen sects have been taking Xuantian spiritual energy and Xuantian spiritual liquid for practice since childhood. It is no exaggeration to say that their cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds.
In that era, the one hundred year old Yuanying Zhenjun and the five hundred year old Yuanshen Zhenjun were not completely isolated cases.
Unfortunately, since the destruction of the ancient times, the environment for cultivation in heaven and earth has become increasingly harsh, and many cultivation resources that were common in ancient times have completely disappeared in this era.
Therefore, in this era, the cultivators with the highest cultivation level in the Seven Domain Alliance are the Jindan cultivators, while in ancient times, there were no less than dozens of Yuanying cultivators here, and there were even suspected figures who had reached the great perfection of the Yuanying realm.
In ancient times, there were no less than a hundred Yuanshen Daojuns in the Cangling Sea, and most of them did not dare to say that they could dominate an area.
But now, in the entire Cangling Sea, there are only two or three people in the late Nascent Soul stage, and the entire Haotian Ancient Realm has not produced a new Yuanshen Daojun for many years.
"The amount of Xuantian Spiritual Liquid is too small. My generation will not be able to use it after all."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, thinking of Chu Lingxi and Zhou Yuwan again, and couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
If one wants to cultivate the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, one must cultivate the core quasi-great supernatural powers before breaking through the Nascent Soul. After all, the talents of the two women are limited. If they were born in ancient times, they might have a chance to cultivate quasi-great supernatural powers.
But in this era, even if you wait a few hundred more years to collect enough Xuantian Spirit Liquid, the possibility of cultivating into the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul is almost zero.
"Never mind. Everyone has their own destiny. There's no need to force too much."
Ye Linyuan sighed, then retracted his thoughts.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to these people breaking through the ninth level of the Golden Core, the Scarlet Flame Spirit Phoenix also took the opportunity to revive the Royal Blood.
It was obvious that its background was extraordinary, and it was very likely that it had once been a true spirit of heaven and earth, but the loss of its origin had caused its bloodline to decline, and now it was simply making up for its original potential.
Of course, the Scarlet Flame Spirit Phoenix is still a little young. Although its royal blood has been revived, its cultivation is still at the eighth level of the Golden Core. It will probably take another sixty years to break through to the ninth level of the Golden Core.
Let’s get back to the point. After everyone broke through the ninth level of the Golden Core, Ye Linyuan gave them three months to consolidate their cultivation. Then he gathered everyone together and said, “Everyone, the war is approaching, and we can’t delay any longer.”
Upon hearing this, everyone looked solemn.
Eighty years have passed since the disastrous defeat. In recent years, two false infant ancestors have attained enlightenment, and the situation of the Five Elements Sect has become increasingly deteriorating.
In recent years, the Black Abyss Dragon Palace has been constantly deploying troops, as if it is waiting for the last two Nascent Soul True Lords to pass away before launching the final offensive against the Seven Domain Alliance.
In terms of time, it should take three to five years at the earliest, and twenty years at the latest.
Knowing that time was running out, Ye Chongyun couldn't help but ask, "The clan leader once said that we should prepare for a fierce battle. Do we want to participate in this war?"
Ye Xuqiu and Ye Yingxu looked at each other, and then looked at Ye Linyuan.
During these years, in order to prevent the Nascent Soul remains from being calculated by others, only the three of them know about this news.
Others were simply notified that there would be a fierce battle and that they needed to prepare various supplies for the war in advance.
At this time, Ye Linyuan nodded to the two of them, and then said: "Since the preparations are sufficient, it's time to tell you about this matter."
"This time we are not going to join the war, but to attack a Yuanying ruins."
Ye Linyuan told the story slowly and told everyone what had happened.
"Nascent Soul Relics?"
After hearing this, everyone was surprised and happy.
But seeing Shui Hanqing's eyes gleaming, he couldn't help but say, "A complete ancient relic. If we can take it down, maybe we can gather several complete opportunities for forming infants."
"Not only that, it is very likely that we can find some extinct ancient elixirs inside."
Ye Xuqiu spoke slowly and there was a hint of greed in his eyes.
Many elixirs that became extinct in ancient times are now treasures, such as the Moon Flower and the Sun Fruit, which are invaluable items.
The Tianying Pill made from these two treasures and the Tianying Fruit is a top-grade spiritual item for forming an infant, which can greatly increase the success rate of forming an infant and the quality of the Nascent Soul.
Especially for those who have cultivated core quasi-great supernatural powers such as Shui Hanqing and Ye Xuqiu, if they can obtain the Tianying Pill, there is a possibility of cultivating into the Heavenly Dao Yuanying.
However, in this era, there are very few Heavenly Dao Nascent Souls. There are many Nascent Soul True Lords in the entire Cang Ling Sea, but there are probably less than ten people who have cultivated into Heavenly Dao Nascent Souls.
And according to the legend, only by cultivating the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul can one have the possibility of breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
If one cannot cultivate into the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, then unless one encounters an amazing opportunity to improve one's foundation, there is basically no hope of breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
Treasures that can make up for the foundation of Nascent Soul cultivators are almost extinct in the Haotian Ancient Realm. They only appear in those extremely dangerous forbidden places in the human world, such as the 'Jiexu Forbidden Land' or ancient treasure houses.
"If it is really the remains of an ancient Yuanying sect, we must give it a try this time no matter what."
At this moment, even Fushan'ao, who was known for his calmness, couldn't help himself and spoke with a serious look.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan nodded and said, "In that case, I will give you three days to make final preparations, and then follow me to capture the ancient ruins." (End of this chapter)
