The mana of one thousand two hundred cycles is already three times the basic mana of the Nascent Soul Great Perfection, which has greatly improved Ye Linyuan's overall sustained combat power.
In the future, when he activates the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag, Ye Linyuan will be able to possess strength close to the late Nascent Soul stage to a certain extent, and he will not have to worry about being defeated by a strong enemy due to lack of mana.
In addition to the improvement in combat power, Ye Linyuan's top-grade spiritual field has also expanded a lot again, reaching the scale of three acres of top-grade spiritual field.
With the help of these spiritual fields, Ye Linyuan has already grown the first batch of fourth-grade lower-grade spiritual medicine [Infant-cultivating Fruit].
However, because only one acre of plants are mature, the number is not too large, only thirty-six plants.
In theory, one acre of top-grade spiritual field, combined with Ye Linyuan's spiritual planting skills, can theoretically cultivate fifty fourth-grade low-quality cultivated fruits.
The reason why only thirty-six plants can be produced is that in today's world, very few people can cultivate high-quality cultivated fruits, so the foundation and potential of the spiritual seeds are somewhat insufficient.
From this point we can see the importance of high-level spiritual seeds. If a fourth-level, top-quality infant-cultivating fruit mother plant can be cultivated, then the seeds produced can be promoted to fourth-level infant-cultivating fruit.
"The infant cultivation fruit has begun to mature. Han Qing and the others' cultivation progress may be able to catch up slowly."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, if there was no help from spiritual objects like the Peiying Fruit, then the cultivation progress of Ye Xuqiu and other Heavenly Dao Yuanying True Lords would definitely not be fast, and it might take five hundred years to break through to the middle Yuanying stage.
It would take another 800 years to cultivate to the point of breaking through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, which makes a total of 1,300 years. Add to that the fact that they form their Nascent Soul at around 500 years old, and they don’t have much life left.
Not to mention, the late Nascent Soul stage is still a big bottleneck. If you can't break through the middle Nascent Soul stage early, you will probably miss the opportunity to impact the late Nascent Soul stage.
"If there are enough Nurturing Pills, Han Qing and the others can reach the middle stage of the Nascent Soul within two or three decades."
Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, then picked all the infant-cultivating fruits and selected the resulting spiritual seeds.
For these spiritual seeds, he selected a group of those with stronger spirituality, and first nurtured them with the Canghai Nurturing Spirit Technique for a period of time, and then planted them in the spiritual fields.
After all, there are limited top-quality spiritual fields and limited high-quality spiritual seeds. If one wants to increase production urgently, one can only consume several times more mana to cultivate the most spiritual spiritual seeds.
Because the Canghai Yangling Technique can increase the yield of spiritual medicines, the same mature cultivated fruit, when cultivated using the Canghai Yangling Technique to cultivate infants, can often produce several times the amount of infant cultivation pills.
The only difference is that using the Canghai Yangling Technique to cultivate infants and fruits requires several times more resources and spiritual energy. One acre of spiritual field can only successfully grow ten infant-cultivating fruits at most.
"Spiritual fields are scarce and spiritual seeds are hard to find. We can only use this method to increase the production of high-level spiritual seeds as much as possible."
Ye Linyuan pondered, then took a look at the ruins, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual, he stood up and left the cave world.
Returning to the cave world, Ye Linyuan found Shui Hanqing and the others and said straight to the point: "The ancient ruins have extraordinary spiritual essence. Now that the bloody aura has been completely removed, we can make use of it."
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
The ancient ruins have extraordinary spiritual energy. Even though it has fallen in grade now, it is still a large fourth-order lower-grade spiritual vein. If it can be redeveloped and utilized well, it will be enough to satisfy the cultivation of several Nascent Soul True Lords.
Knowing this, Shui Hanqing couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do, husband?"
"I plan to transfer two Yuanyings over there, and by the way, dispatch a group of absolutely trustworthy clansmen and Taoist soldiers to develop them and prepare for their future ascension."
Ye Linyuan spoke slowly and expressed his thoughts.
The ancient ruins were originally a floating island stretching for thousands of miles. It was made of ancient floating strange stones and was able to float in the void. It only fell into the deep sea because of a curse in ancient times.
These strange stones have the magic of being suspended in the air. Combined with a complete floating formation, the entire island can be suspended high above the sky, becoming an unparalleled treasure land that gathers the boundless pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
In this day and age, this kind of floating stone is very rare.
Because most of them have been taken into the possession of major forbidden areas, a small part has been collected by major forces from ancient times to the present to build floating islands, which are basically occupied by overlords in the late Nascent Soul stage.
Because the floating fairy island built with floating strange stones can float on the top of the Xuangang Domain which is nearly ten thousand miles high, it has great advantages.
At this altitude, firstly, it is easier to gather pure spiritual energy, and secondly, this altitude is also more suitable for collecting Tiangang Qi, which is a key resource for the cultivation of strong people above the Jindan level.
If the formation is strong enough, it can even directly enter the Lei Gang Realm thousands of miles above, and draw the power of the nine-day thunder to build the [Heavenly Thunder Tower], [Ten Thousand Thunder Mountain], [Thunder Tribulation Pool] and other fourth-level spiritual buildings.
The Tianlei Tower can gather the power of thunder and continuously condense powerful fourth-order thunder beads. It is a resource-type spiritual building.
Wanlei Mountain is able to attract tens of thousands of thunder strikes, and is the unrivaled place for body-building for those who cultivate physical abilities. Legend has it that it contains the profound essence of realm-breaking, and the probability of breaking through bottlenecks there will be greatly increased.
As for the Thunder Tribulation Pool, it is an invaluable treasure that breeds spiritual treasures with thunder attributes.
It can be said that in today's Haotian Ancient Realm, the importance of the Floating Fairy Island is self-evident, and basically only the giants in the late Nascent Soul stage are qualified to master it.
Of course, there are some places that don’t need floating islands. For example, the sacred mountain of the Tianjian Ye family is 100,000 miles high and goes straight into the depths of the Leigang domain. These three kinds of peerless spiritual buildings can be built without a floating island.
But no matter what, the importance of the floating islands is still self-evident. If Ye Linyuan can launch these floating islands back into the air, it will be enough to become the foundation of the Ye family.
Moreover, the floating island can move, like a super-large treasure ship, and can directly cross the void under the impetus of the formation. If it cannot defeat a strong enemy, it can completely move with its nest.
"There are thirty-six floating islands in the ruins. In ancient times, each island should have been the training ground of a Yuanying branch."
"If we can repair it and rearrange the formation to lift the floating island into the air, the Tiangang Qi produced alone will be enough to satisfy the daily cultivation of one or two hundred Jindan cultivators."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly. Tiangang Qi is quite scarce. It is a key resource for the Golden Core Realm. Moreover, it is difficult to obtain as it is hanging high above the Nine Heavens. Both the human and demon races have to pay a large sum of money to buy it.
If they can repair the floating island, they will be able to expand the size of their Taoist army in the future.
In the world of immortal cultivation, the cost of training a Jindan cultivator is not low, but it may not be a losing business in the long run.
Because the lifespan of a Jindan cultivator starts at eight hundred years, the maximum investment is one or two hundred years in the early stages. After that, the Jindan cultivator will not only be able to cultivate to be self-sufficient, but also earn huge profits for the clan.
Especially for cultivators with extremely high talents in all arts of cultivation, they don't even need to pay a particularly high price, and they will often bring extremely rich intelligence in the future.
However, this kind of Jindan cultivator cannot be achieved by just relying on resources. It depends more on talent, ability and fate.
Dao soldiers are quite different. It is slightly easier for them to break through the bottleneck than for cultivators of the same level, and their combat power is stronger. The combat power they exert when forming a military formation is a qualitative change.
Especially when it comes to cultivating Taoist soldiers of the demon clan, as long as their bloodline is strong enough, resources can be used to produce a large number of Golden Core Taoist soldiers.
However, Taoist soldiers are not good at production and cultivation, and are basically unable to be self-sufficient. They require a lot of resources to train, so most Nascent Soul forces will not raise too many Taoist soldiers.
For example, the Five Elements Taoist Soldiers of the Five Elements Taoist Sect, even though it took nearly a thousand years to train them, only a few hundred of them had reached the Golden Core realm.
As for the Black Abyss Dragon Palace, it is a dominant force in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, but the number of its direct black dragon Taoist soldiers is no more than five hundred.
The rest of the shrimp soldiers, crab generals and other Taoist soldiers of various races, who have set foot in the Golden Core realm, add up to no more than two hundred.
For Ye Linyuan, it is definitely not possible to let him spend a lot of resources to cultivate Jindan Taoist soldiers. After all, the cultivation resources of the Ye family's Yuanying Zhenjun are the most critical.
Even now, Ye Linyuan no longer cares about large quantities of spiritual medicines below the third-grade upper grade.
He would only transplant spiritual medicines of the third-grade or higher quality and some spiritual medicines with greater potential into the Immortal Palace in preparation for cultivating fourth-grade spiritual medicines.
In fact, a cultivator’s energy is limited. At Ye Linyuan’s current level, taking care of ordinary second- and third-level spiritual medicines is simply a waste of resources.
Without his care, relying solely on Shui Hanqing and other members of the Ye family's care, the output of these second- and third-level spiritual medicines would definitely be greatly reduced.
After all, Shui Hanqing's spiritual plant magic only reached the third-level upper grade, and it would take another two hundred years of accumulation to reach the fourth level.
During this period, the output of spiritual medicines she took care of was definitely not as good as Ye Linyuan's.
Fortunately, the Ye family has had many new Jindan cultivators in recent years, plus the Jindan cultivators who came from Chilong Mountain, the Ye family now has five third-level spirit plant husbands.
Among them, there are two people of the third-level middle grade, and three people of the third-level lower grade. With the number and the blessing of more than 200 acres of high-grade spiritual fields, the output of the third-level middle and lower grade spiritual medicine is not low among the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. "With the help of the Beast King Pill, the Black Gold Mine and other spiritual objects, the number of the Golden Ape Clan's Golden Core Dao soldiers will definitely increase rapidly."
"The number of the two Taoist forces, the Cold Dragon and the Fire Dragon, is expected to take shape within a hundred years."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart. He knew very well that the Taoist soldier's breakthrough to the golden elixir was only the beginning. The resources needed for cultivation would still be high.
The stable output of Tiangang Qi in the future could provide the cultivation resources for one or two hundred Taoist soldiers, which would be a great help to Ye Linyuan.
The people present also understood this, so Shui Hanqing said thoughtfully: "Once we fight with the major forces, the other party's Taoist soldiers will also be a big trouble, so it is necessary to expand the scale of the Taoist soldiers."
"Just repairing the floating island will require a lot of resources."
"It's not difficult. We just need to cut down the spiritual trees we have stored over the years and exchange them for some resources from Nanling Chixiazhou."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly. In the Nanling cultivation world, high-level spiritual medicines and spiritual woods were scarce. As long as they brought a large number of resources over and exchanged them for rare treasures of various properties, it would not be difficult to build a fourth-level spiritual vein.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan pondered and said, "The preliminary preparations and most of the second-level formation tools can be handled by the family's Jindan cultivators."
"For formation tools and materials above the third-level mid-grade, all of you Yuanying Zhenjuns must contribute."
Shui Hanqing couldn't help but nodded slightly when he heard this.
It is not very successful for ordinary Jindan cultivators to refine magical weapons of the third-level mid-grade or above, but it is not difficult for Yuanying Zhenjun to handle it.
The Ye family's True Lords all have Nascent Soul cultivation. Their proficiency in the various arts of cultivation is not low. At least each of them has mastered two arts of the third rank or higher.
In particular, Ye Xuqiu has become a fourth-level weapon refiner, and Ye Yingxu has become a fourth-level formation master and astronomical master, which can be of great help in repairing the floating island.
After arranging all this, Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, then said: "The ancient ruins are already suitable for cultivation. We can arrange some Nascent Souls to go there to reduce the burden on the spiritual veins here."
"Han Ji, you and Fushan Ao should practice in the ancient ruins from now on. It will also be a good opportunity for you to take charge of the overall situation of repairing the earth veins."
Fushan Ao and Han Jiao had no objection to this. For them, there was not much difference whether they practiced in the cave world or in the ancient ruins.
If they leave the cave world, a large amount of spiritual energy in the cave world will be freed up.
The excess spiritual energy can be used to use the teleportation array more times, or to expand the scale of spiritual field planting.
No matter which one it is, it is beneficial to Ye Linyuan.
So quickly, Ye Linyuan arranged everything and asked Han Jiao and Fushan Ao to lead thousands of tribesmen to the ancient ruins.
These tribesmen are all cultivators above the foundation building stage, and most of them are good at formations or weapon refining techniques.
However, the project of repairing the ancient ruins is extremely huge. They are unable to handle the core and key parts of the formation, but there are a lot of simple but arduous tasks that need to be handled by these foundation-building monks.
In addition to these foundation-building monks, a group of thirty-six Taoist soldiers also went there.
This group of Taoist soldiers are the Cold Dragon Taoist soldiers, all of whom are the Cold Dragons of the True Spirit at the Golden Core level. Although most of their cultivation has stopped at the early Golden Core stage, they are still a strong fighting force.
"Tao soldiers value quality over quantity. Perhaps we can cultivate all of these Taoist soldiers into a prosperous bloodline?"
Watching the Taoist soldiers leave, Ye Linyuan looked thoughtful.
He pondered for a moment, then stored the ten acres of top-grade blood spirit field into his dantian, preparing to use extra energy to cultivate the third-grade top-grade blood spirit medicine over a long period of time.
It is enough to take care of an additional ten acres of top-grade spiritual fields. After all, with Ye Linyuan's spiritual plant skills that are close to fourth-grade top-grade, the output of cultivating third-grade top-grade bloodline spiritual medicines will definitely not be low.
Back to the topic, after dealing with this matter, Ye Linyuan immediately took the teleportation array to reach Chilong Mountain.
Having not returned for many years, Ye Linyuan arrived at Chilong Mountain again this time, which immediately made Ao Xuan feel a little excited. He saw it transform into a dragon and circle around Ye Linyuan.
He stretched out his head and rubbed it affectionately, then said, "Master, the Western Region Barter Conference is about to start. Are you here for this?"
"Well, this is also one of the purposes of my trip."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and then went to the underground fire veins to start refining the elixir.
Having not opened the furnace to make elixirs for many years, Ye Linyuan has accumulated quite a few spiritual medicines, including two furnaces of Infant-Forming Pills, three furnaces of Heart-Refining Pills, and a number of various fourth-level spiritual medicines.
Among them were two furnaces of fourth-grade medium-quality spiritual medicines, namely recovery pills and healing pills.
The recovery pills and healing pills of the fourth-grade mid-level are considered the fourth-grade mid-level spiritual medicines with the highest output. Not only are they relatively easy to cultivate, but they are also the most difficult to refine among the fourth-grade mid-level spiritual medicines.
Nowadays, most of the fourth-level middle-grade spiritual plant cultivators and fourth-level middle-grade alchemists in the world of immortal cultivation all started with these two kinds of spiritual medicines to reach the fourth-level middle-grade level.
"If nothing goes wrong this time, my alchemy skills will definitely improve."
Ye Linyuan's mind was floating, and then he started to refine the elixir.
It finally took him a year to successfully refine the Infant-Forming Pill, the Heart-Refining Pill, the Recovery Pill, the Healing Pill, and the Infant-Nourishing Pill.
In the end, he obtained a total of nine genuine infant-forming pills and five inferior infant-forming pills.
He obtained seventeen Heart Refining Pills, one bottle each of fourth-grade intermediate-quality Recovery Pills and Healing Pills, and as many as one hundred and ninety-eight Infant Nurturing Pills.
From this point we can see that as the level of cultivation becomes higher and higher, high-level cultivators are less and less willing to refine mid- and low-level elixirs.
When one reaches the level of the Nanling Dan Emperor, he is even reluctant to start refining the Infant-Forming Pill.
Even though Ye Linyuan only spent one year, how long do those in the late Nascent Soul stage have left?
If he did not use special methods to prolong his life, or swallow high-level longevity elixirs, the life span of the Nanling Dan Emperor would not exceed four hundred years.
In this case, how could he be willing to waste time refining a fourth-grade, low-quality elixir?
Let alone the life-extending elixir, even if it was a mid-grade fourth-level elixir, unless it was something extremely rare in the world, he probably wouldn't be willing to come out to refine it.
Now Ye Linyuan is not too willing to waste his energy on rare third-grade elixirs, and has basically handed over all the third-grade top-quality elixirs to his clansmen for refining.
Ye Linyuan was too lazy to take the time to deal with spiritual medicines below the third-grade upper grade, and basically handed them over to the spiritual herb farmers in the clan.
This would not only save his time, but also improve the cultivation skills of his clansmen, so it could be considered a win-win choice.
"After refining this pill, my alchemy skills have reached the fourth-level middle grade."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly. The improvement in his alchemy skills this time was of great help to him. It meant that his output of refining fourth-grade low-grade pills would be greatly increased in the future.
And when the top-grade spiritual fields are expanded in the future, Ye Linyuan believes that his alchemy skills can continue to improve, and it should not be a problem for him to eventually step into the fourth-level upper grade and become the second Nanling Alchemy Emperor.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan smiled and casually put away the batch of elixirs.
He then stood up and left the Earth Fire Room, and then he swept his mind over the Red Dragon Mountain. Suddenly, he frowned and said, "Where is Ye Chongyun? Why isn't he in the family?"
Ye Xuqiu came out and said immediately, "After Brother Chongyun recovered from his injury, he went to travel around the Nanling Immortal Cultivation World. He hasn't sent back any news for many years."
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan calculated for a moment with his fingers, and after confirming that Ye Chongyun was not in any danger, he did not waste any more time.
After all, Ye Chongyun has his own ideas and beliefs, and the barter conference is about to begin. (End of this chapter)
