Chapter 1 Ye Linyuan "First level of Qi training, three spiritual roots of water, gold and wood." In the spiritual eye retreat room, Ye Linyuan slowly opened his eyes. He sensed his cultivation level and spiritual roots, and a hint of contemplation appeared in his eyes. Ye Linyuan was not born and raised in this world, and this was not his first reincarnation. He came from Earth in his first life, and after his death he was reincarnated into this vast world of cultivating immortals. At that time, he was born into a foundation-building family, and happened to have the dual spiritual roots of gold and fire, making him a natural immortal. With the tyranny of his dual spiritual roots of gold and fire, coupled with his daring and fighting character and the full support of his family, he cultivated himself all the way to the state of great perfection of the golden elixir, and was considered a powerful figure with a great reputation in the area. Unfortunately, the gold and fire attribute skills are too overbearing, and it is easy to hurt yourself when fighting with all your strength. His personality in his previous life was too aggressive. He relied on his domineering magic power of gold and fire to overcome all obstacles along the way and gained a lot of opportunities to cultivate to the state of great perfection of golden elixir. However, during the many fierce battles, his meridians and body were damaged by the power of gold and fire, and he ultimately had no hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Later, in order to have a chance to break through, Ye Linyuan risked his life to break into the forbidden land of Jiexu, snatched food from the mouths of a group of Yuanying monsters, and eventually died in the forbidden land of Jiexu. Fortunately, his desperate struggle at the moment of death allowed him to find a chance against the will of heaven, which gave him the opportunity to reincarnate in this life. "Fortunately, the opportunity has not been lost." Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, then lowered his eyes and sensed the sea of consciousness. But inside that sea of consciousness, there was a scroll of ancient scripture slowly floating up and down, with a line of large characters written on it - The Magic Art of Refining Spirits. It turns out that this scroll of magical soul refining technique is an amazing method to change one's destiny. This method can refine the spiritual objects of heaven and earth and integrate them into one's own foundation, allowing oneself to possess certain characteristics of the spiritual objects of heaven and earth. For example, if a defensive magic weapon is refined using the magic of soul refining, then the cultivator's body will have a defensive power comparable to that of a magic weapon. For example, if a cultivator refines a peerless immortal sword, his magic power will be transformed into astonishing sword energy, possessing a killing power that is unmatched by those of the same level. Such an amazing soul-refining technique naturally has certain limitations. First of all, every time a cultivator breaks through a major realm, he only has one chance to refine the spiritual objects of heaven and earth. Secondly, the rare objects being refined must at least be compatible with the cultivator's spiritual roots, otherwise an rejection reaction will occur. "Now that I have this magical soul-refining technique, I should plan my path of cultivation in this life carefully." Ye Linyuan pondered and couldn't help but examine his own foundation again. In this life, he possesses three spiritual roots of water, gold and wood. His aptitude is one level lower than that of his previous life, but he has one more direction to cultivate. How to choose the main foundation is very crucial. As the reincarnation of a powerful Jindan master, Ye Linyuan naturally has no shortage of cultivation techniques. However, the five elements of spiritual roots are different, and the characteristics of the magic power cultivated will be very different. This is related to the foundation of future enlightenment, so you need to choose carefully. The properties of the five elements' spiritual roots are different. Among them, the fire spiritual power is domineering, the gold spiritual power is sharp, the water spiritual power is gentle, the wood spiritual power prolongs life, and the earth spiritual power is good at defense. The magic power cultivated by each has its own strengths. Of course, the magical powers cultivated from these five kinds of spiritual roots also have their own shortcomings.
Among them, although the fire spiritual power is overbearing and has amazing destructive power, once it explodes with all its strength, it will burn one's own flesh and blood. The golden spiritual power is extremely sharp, and its single combat ability is the strongest among its peers. However, if it is used with all its strength against the enemy, its meridians will be damaged by the sharp sword energy. Although a cultivator can only hurt himself when fighting with all his strength, how could he dare to hold back any energy when the time comes to risk his life? Ye Linyuan was extremely talented in his previous life. He cultivated the dual spiritual roots of gold and fire, and had few rivals in fighting ability at the same level. As a result, he overcame all obstacles and achieved the great perfection of the golden elixir. However, the repeated desperate fights had caused too much damage to his body, and ultimately he was unable to enter the Nascent Soul stage because his body was so dilapidated. Now that he has been reincarnated and started practicing again, Ye Linyuan is preparing to change his method of cultivation. "The path of cultivation is difficult, and it is difficult to last long just by fighting fiercely." "And with the Soul Refining Technique, I can now choose a more stable path of cultivation." Ye Linyuan whispered slowly in his heart, gave up the practice of the gold spiritual root, and then pondered the remaining two directions, and finally chose to major in the water spiritual root. In fact, to be fair, majoring in wood spiritual roots is also a good choice. Because wood-attributed techniques can prolong life, generally speaking, cultivators who major in wood-attributed techniques have a lifespan that is about 10% higher than cultivators of the same level. Some superior wood-attributed techniques can even increase lifespan by 30% or even 50%. There are three main reasons why he chose to major in water spiritual roots. First, he is currently in the Eastern Cangling Sea, a place where water resources are most abundant. Secondly, water-attributed techniques are best at healing. Practitioners who practice this technique are not afraid of injuries, no matter how serious they are. Even if they fail to break through the foundation-building stage in the future, they will not be in danger of dying. They can even break through again after recovering from their injuries. This alone is already incredible. If it were a cultivator who practiced fire or gold magic, failure to break through a higher realm would often mean life or death. Even if they survived by chance, they would not have the chance to break through a second time. The third reason is that Ye Linyuan has a volume of Nascent Soul-level water-attributed martial arts in his hand. Of course, water magic also has a huge disadvantage, that is, the water magic power is too soft, lacking the sharpness of gold magic and the domineering of fire magic. Not only is the combat power at the bottom of the same level, but the difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck will be greatly increased. For those with gold and fire spiritual roots, although the attempt to establish a foundation is a matter of life and death, it only takes one try to succeed. However, for those who practice water magic, it may be difficult to succeed even after three or five attempts, wasting a lot of lifespan and making little progress. "With the help of the magical art of refining spirits, refining the right rare treasures should be able to make up for the weakness of the water method being too gentle." "With the addition of that ancient and strange book, it shouldn't be too difficult to break through the bottleneck in the future." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart that the strange book he wanted to practice was called - Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong. This book is about a martial arts method from the ancient times. The speed of cultivation is quite slow, the purity of the magic power is only average, and it is quite difficult to break through the bottleneck. However, it has two amazing features. The first is its magic of healing. The Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong can be cultivated into a special Taoist foundation, Cang Hai Ming Yue, and its healing effect is unparalleled in the world. It is said that if it is cultivated to a high level, one can be reborn by a drop of blood under the moonlight, and even the injuries of the Great Dao can be repaired. The second is the powerful magic power. The magic power of Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong is astonishingly strong. When it is laid the foundation, it is several times that of the same level. When one reaches a high level of cultivation, the magic power in the body is like a vast ocean, almost inexhaustible. As a former Jindan master, Ye Linyuan understood too well the importance of Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong. In his previous life, his talent and comprehension were unrivaled in the field, but he was unable to break through because his body was almost exhausted. If he had the healing effect of Cang Hai Ming Yue, he would not have lost hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage. In addition, after reaching a high level, the importance of powerful magic power becomes increasingly important, as it is related to the success rate of breaking through the Nascent Soul stage. If a Jindan cultivator can master the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, the success rate of breaking through to the Yuanying stage can be increased by at least 20% to 30%.
"Miraculous healing effect, powerful magic." "These two points are enough for the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong. Its shortcomings can also be made up by the magic of refining spirits." Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, and then said with a smile: "My name is Linyuan, and Yuan means the vast ocean. The bright moon rises from the sea, which means Cangyue Linyuan. It seems that this Canghai Mingyue skill is destined to be with me." With this thought in mind, Ye Linyuan put aside all distractions. Looking back on his life in this life, he couldn't help but frown slightly. "The situation we face in this life is far worse than in the previous life." In this life, Ye Linyuan's background was not good. Although he could not be considered a casual cultivator, he was actually not far off. The Cangling Ye family is just a small family. Originally, there were only six Qi-cultivating practitioners in the clan, plus nearly two hundred mortal members of the Ye family, who practiced in seclusion on this small Ye family island. The strongest cultivator of the Ye family, Ye Linyuan’s grandfather, Ye Tianke, had only reached the sixth level of Qi training. "As a small Qi training clan, we are weak and exist in the gap between major forces. If we are not careful, we will be overturned in an instant." Ye Linyuan's mind was floating, and he couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Fortunately, although the clan was not strong enough, it was still a place to settle down, which was much better than those low-level casual cultivators who were in danger of losing their lives at any time. He suppressed his thoughts and began to practice Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong. After all, with the experience of achieving the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir, he was able to switch to practicing the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong in an orderly manner, and he had completed the transition after three days. "Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, Volume 1, First Glimpse!" Ye Linyuan whispered slowly. He tried to practice the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong. After refining all the broken spirit stones in his hand, he found that his mana limit had increased by 10%, and the new mana had an excellent healing effect. The mana only increased by 10%, which doesn't seem to be too much. But Ye Linyuan knew very well that this was just the beginning. Magical power needed time to accumulate. The true power of the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong would only be gradually revealed as his cultivation level improved. But at this moment, Ye Linyuan glanced at the broken spirit stone in his hand, then glanced at the spirit eye with thin spiritual energy beside him, and couldn't help but show a trace of helplessness. The Ye family was weak and only purchased a low-grade spiritual eye, which was a branch spiritual eye of the spiritual vein of the Seven Islands of Star Lake. This time, in order to help him break through the first level of Qi training, the Ye family took out the only seven broken spirit stones in the clan and kept this spirit eye closed for more than half a month. Now, the broken spirit stones have been used up, and the spiritual energy of the low-grade spirit eye has almost been exhausted. "The Broken Spirit Stones have been used up, and the Spirit Eye's spiritual energy is almost gone." "It's time to leave." Ye Linyuan frowned and sighed, a trace of helplessness appearing on his face. He stood up and walked out of the retreat room, only to find three Qigong monks who had been waiting for a long time, led by a white-haired old man. Seeing Ye Linyuan coming out, the old man was immediately overjoyed and said, "Hahaha, my grandson Ye Linyuan is indeed a natural talent. He broke through the Qi training realm in just seven days. In the future, he will definitely become a great cultivator who will bring honor to the family." The two people on the side couldn't help but hold their foreheads, showing a bit of helplessness. Ye Linyuan quickly bowed and saluted respectfully, "Linyuan greets grandfather, second uncle, and third uncle."
"Get up." The old man pulled him up, then looked at the two men and scolded, "Why, you're still not convinced?" "Don't dare." The two of them waved their hands quickly, not daring to talk back. The old man Ye looked at Ye Linyuan and nodded, "Boy, you have broken through so quickly. You are indeed worthy of having three spiritual roots. Whether my Ye family can grow stronger in the future depends on you." Ye Linyuan glanced at the three people and couldn't help but smile. Although the Cangling Ye family is weak, they do not have the intrigues of the big cultivation families. The entire Ye family is the descendants of Old Man Ye. This old man Ye was originally a casual cultivator. When he was young, he traveled to the Cangling Islands and accidentally found a cave left behind by a cultivator who had reached the peak of Qi training. With the help of the resources inside, he cultivated himself to the middle stage of Qi training. Unfortunately, the path of a casual cultivator is extremely difficult. After breaking through the middle stage of Qi Refining, it is difficult to make any progress. Believing that he has no hope of reaching the stage of Foundation Establishment in this lifetime, he spent all his fortune to purchase the Ye Family Island. To this day, the Ye family has struggled here for more than 40 years and has barely gained a foothold. Of course, Ye Linyuan felt that the reason why the Ye family was able to gain a foothold was because the Yejia Island was too barren. It's just a low-grade spiritual eye with weak spiritual energy. Not to mention the foundation-building cultivators, even the late-stage Qi training cultivators might not look down on it. It would be a loss of face to cause trouble to them for this. If the spiritual energy on Yejia Island was a little stronger, I'm afraid these six Qi-cultivating monks might not be enough to fill the gaps. "Ugh!" Ye Linyuan sighed slightly in his heart, and couldn't help but recall the current strength of the Ye family. Nowadays, the Ye family has only six Qi-training cultivators besides Ye Linyuan. Among them, grandfather Ye Old Man has the most powerful cultivation base, with his cultivation reaching the sixth level of Qi-training. He is the only pillar of the Ye family. In addition, the second uncle Ye Qinyang has reached the third level of Qi training and is the second strongest person in the family. The third uncle Ye Qinchu has reached the third level of Qi training and is already the third strongest person in the family. There is also a fifth aunt, Ye Qinxin, whose cultivation level is also at the third level of Qi training, and her strength is almost the same as that of the third uncle. In addition, there are two Qi-cultivating practitioners among the three generations, namely the second uncle’s eldest son Ye Linze and the third uncle’s daughter Ye Huaixue. Among them, Ye Linze is eleven years older than Ye Linyuan, and his cultivation has reached the second level of Qi training. Ye Huaixue is only three years older than Ye Linyuan, and his cultivation is still at the first level of Qi training. It can be said that the entire Ye family is just two or three cats and kittens, and their strength is too weak. Ye Linyuan was also very clear that the fundamental reason why the Ye family was weak was because of their lack of skills in cultivation. In the entire Ye family, only Old Man Ye knows how to refine magical instruments, and he can only refine first-grade inferior magical instruments, with a low yield and low quality. Precisely because of this, there are very few monks who entrust him with refining weapons, which means that Old Man Ye has very few opportunities to refine weapons. He can only occasionally help others repair magical weapons at a low price to earn a few broken spirit stones. At least Old Man Ye had some skills, but the others were extremely poor and could only make a living by fishing around Yejia Island, hoping to hunt some precious sea fish and earn a meager income. However, hunting sea fish is also very dangerous. They can still deal with ordinary sea fish, but once they encounter sea fish in the realm of monsters, they will risk being seriously injured or even died in the belly of the fish. This income is full of uncertainty. After deducting the taxes, the Ye family can only save a few broken spirit stones in a year. The seven broken spirit stones that Ye Linyuan used to break through the first level of Qi training were the last of the stocks that the Ye family had accumulated over the past year.
There is no way around it. After all, the art of cultivation requires practice, and a lot of materials are needed in the early stages of practice. Even if the Ye family put all their strength into it, they could not train a second cultivator who could master all the arts of cultivation. Since they don't know how to cultivate the hundreds of arts, the seven members of the Ye family all rely on one low-grade spiritual eye for practice. Naturally, their progress is extremely slow, and it would be extremely difficult for them to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining. “Lin Yuan is the only one in the family with three spiritual roots.” Just as Ye Linyuan was deep in thought, Old Man Ye said, "My opinion is that everyone should tighten their belts in the future and give him priority in cultivation." Upon hearing this, Ye Qinyang and Ye Qinchu couldn't help but look at each other. After a moment, Ye Qinyang smiled bitterly and said, "We are stuck in the early stage of Qi training and cannot break through, but it's not a problem." "But Linze and Huaixue are still young, so they still have to..." At this point, both of them smiled bitterly. Old Man Ye slammed the table and could not help but yelled, "How foolish!" "Linze has five spiritual roots, Huaixue has four spiritual roots. With the financial resources of our Ye family, there is little hope for them to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining." "Since we don't have enough financial resources, we must focus on supporting one person. Otherwise, after I die a hundred years later, who among you will be able to protect the Ye family's foundation?" Upon hearing this, Ye Qinyang and Ye Qinchu's expressions changed again and again. In the world of cultivating immortals, the importance of spiritual eyes is self-evident. Even though Ye only has a low-grade spiritual eye, it is something that many Qi-refining cultivators in the outside world would love to have. If Old Man Ye really passed away, and the Ye family no longer had a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator to guard it, I’m afraid they wouldn’t even be able to protect this low-grade spiritual eye. Thinking of this, Ye Qinchu also smiled bitterly, and then said: "Forget it, I will do some ideological work on Linze and Huaixue." Ye Linyuan was silent for a while. Just as he was thinking about saying something, he suddenly heard the sound of a whistle. He looked up and saw a small boat sailing over from the sea outside Yejia Island. "It's from the Lin family." Old Man Ye took a look at the boat and his expression changed slightly. It is especially important to catch up with the new book. I hope everyone can read the latest chapters. In addition, if you are short of books, you can also read the author’s old book "Zhu Dao Chang Qing" (End of this chapter)
