Chapter 102: Fledgling Unless Ye Linyuan breaks through the foundation-building stage now and is willing to spend some first-order rare treasure-level cultivation elixirs to help Old Man Ye speed up his cultivation, there will be a chance for Old Man Ye to have a glimmer of hope of building a foundation. However, first-level exotic treasure-level cultivation elixirs are too rare and too precious. Even ordinary foundation-building cultivators may not be willing to use them for cultivation. This is not because foundation-building cultivators cannot afford first-tier exotic treasure-level cultivation elixirs. In fact, even second-tier cultivation elixirs are affordable to foundation-building cultivators. However, cultivation pills need to be taken in large quantities and over a long period of time, and taking high-level cultivation pills for cultivation is really too luxurious. Taking Huangya Dan as an example, one spirit stone can buy ten ordinary Huangya Dan, but one spirit stone can only buy two Lingzhen Huangya Dan. However, the spiritual power of the middle-grade yellow bud pill is only three times that of the ordinary yellow bud pill, which is too expensive for Qi training practitioners. After all, it is not enough to take just one pill for cultivation, but one needs to be taken every few days. If one takes pills of the same level for cultivation, even the Golden Elixir Immortal Sect will find it difficult to supply them. Therefore, most cultivators practice by taking elixirs that are two levels lower than their own. For example, in the late stage of Qi training, take ordinary Huangya Pill of lower grade of the first grade, in the early stage of foundation building, take Lingzhen Huangya Pill of middle grade of the first grade, in the middle stage of foundation building, take upper grade of the first grade exotic treasure pill, and in the late stage of foundation building, take lower grade of the second grade Xuanyuan Pill.
Of course, this is only an ideal situation. In fact, it is difficult for ordinary cultivators in the late stage of Qi training to take low-grade Huangya Pills for a long time. It is also difficult for weaker foundation-building families to take Lingzhen Huangya Pills for a long time, because a foundation-building cultivator can refine one Lingzhen Huangya Pill every day, and the annual expenditure on Lingzhen Huangya Pills alone is close to two hundred spirit stones. Only a medium-sized foundation-building force like the Qinghe Immortal Sect, which has hundreds of acres of spiritual fields and several first-class high-quality spiritual plant farmers, can provide a relatively stable supply of the Lingzhen Huangya Pills needed for the cultivation of several foundation-building cultivators. Getting back to the point, after confirming that Old Man Ye would not be able to build a foundation in this lifetime, Ye Linyuan put away all unnecessary thoughts. After thinking for a moment, he took out a small golden shield from his sleeve and handed it to Old Man Ye, saying, "You can use this to refine it. I think your strength will increase a bit." "No, this is your protective treasure." When Old Man Ye heard this, his expression changed slightly and he quickly stretched out his hand to refuse. Ye Linyuan shook his head, and then said calmly: "I have already practiced a set of formations, and I don't have the extra energy to activate this treasure." When Old Man Ye heard this, he couldn't help but think of the Tiangang Invisibility Array and the Disha Bewitching Array, and nodded slightly. He put away the Black Gold Shield, and then took a deep breath and said: "I am now practicing the superior foundation-building technique that is best at attacking, and I have the Red Void Sword and the Black Gold Shield for attack and defense. I am afraid that I can fight against the ninth level of Qi training for a few moves." Ye Linyuan nodded when he heard this. The gold and fire dual-attribute technique is best for fighting. After Old Man Ye switched to this technique, his strength was already the best in the same level. Now that he has mastered two rare treasures, his real combat power is obviously far beyond the ordinary seventh level of Qi training. According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, the old man Ye's current real combat power level is probably not weaker than some senior eighth-level Qi training practitioners with water and wood attributes. If Old Man Ye could break through to the eighth level of Qi training, he would probably be able to fight against an ordinary Qi training master. Knowing this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but smile and said, "There are still three months left. You should seize this time to practice in seclusion. I hope you can make further progress before the war comes." Old man Ye nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, with the help of Lingzhen Huangya Dan, I should be able to break through before setting off." Having said this, Ye Linyuan did not stay any longer. He returned to Yejia Island and began to meditate. At the same time, the entire Ye family began to make final preparations for the war, and all the major families in the Qinghe Islands also began to prepare for war. Time passed in a tense atmosphere and three months passed by in a flash. Until this day, in front of the dock of Chixing Island, Old Man Ye looked at the people in front of him and said with a hint of emotion: "Unconsciously, we have become so powerful." "The family's foundation is growing, and the clan members are becoming more mature. Our years of cultivation are worth it."
Ye Linyuan's expression was calm as usual, but when he saw that more than ten cultivators and more than a hundred black-armored guards had gathered in front of Yejia Island, a hint of relief appeared in his eyes. The Ye family sent a total of 14 Qi training monks to fight this time. Among them are four people in the late stage of Qi training, namely Ye Linyuan, Old Man Ye, Chu Lingxi and Zhou Yuwan. The ten people in the middle stage of Qi Refining are Ye Qinyang, Ye Qinchu, Ye Qinxin, Ye Linyuan, Ye Huaixue, Chu Lingxin, Ye Linchu and Ye Linhai from the Ye family, as well as two family guests Zhou Mingfu and Chu Daoran. Among these fourteen cultivators, Ye Linyuan's strength is needless to say. After taking a large amount of Lingzhen Huangya Pills, Old Man Ye's cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi training. Relying on the mystery of the Golden Light and Fiery Fire Sutra, his combat power can barely be compared with that of a cultivator who has reached perfection in Qi training. With Chu Lingxi and Zhou Yuwan joining forces, they should be able to fight against the Qi Refining Perfection Master, and the other ten Qi Refining Middle Stage Masters joining forces can basically be equivalent to the three Qi Refining Late Stage Masters. Such powerful strength and foundation should be considered top-notch even among the Qi-cultivating clans, which makes everyone present more confident about this battle. "With our strength, as long as we don't encounter a foundation-building cultivator, we should be able to protect ourselves." Old Man Ye said, and then turned around to look at Ye Linwen, Ye Linwu, Ye Huaiyin and others and said: "While we are away, you must guard the Seven Islands of Xinghu." "Remember, you must not take risks rashly, and you must bring Taoist soldiers with you to protect you wherever you go." At this moment, not only the three young cultivators of the Ye family, but also Zhao Lian'er and Li Qingyan nodded with solemn expressions. In response, Ye Qinxin smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, father. Qinghe Immortal Sect has a clear ban. No one is allowed to cause trouble during the war." "Besides, they have arranged a number of monks to patrol the Qinghe Islands. I don't think anyone would dare to cause trouble at this time." "It's always good to be careful." Old Man Ye shook his head, and instructed several captains of the family's Taoist troops about some key points of guarding the family. Only then did he feel relieved and boarded the Lingfeng treasure ship. After boarding the treasure ship, everyone started the ship and set off immediately. However, Ye Linyuan looked at the seven islands of Xinghu in front of him, and a sense of inexplicable emotion arose in his heart. Ye Linyuan had witnessed a lot in the Jiazi Human-Demon War in his previous life, but he was always the high and mighty chess player in his previous life. Now that he had to experience it personally, it was inevitable that he had some feelings. "I wonder how many people will be able to return from this battle?" (End of this chapter)
