Chapter 126 No Regrets in This Life [The Foundation Has Been Established, and You Can Kill Them] "Boom!" As bursts of roaring sounds rang out, Ye Linyuan slowly walked over. He was like an immortal who had transcended the earth and fell in front of Old Man Ye. The bright moonlight around him shone through the mountains and rivers, and endless moonlight shone towards Old Man Ye. A stream of extraordinary vitality surged into Old Man Ye's body, restoring a hint of redness to his complexion. Unfortunately, it was ultimately unable to extend his life. The life-threatening act at that moment exhausted the last drop of blood in Old Man Ye's body and also took away his last hope of survival. His blood and energy had been exhausted, and his body had been burned by the power of gold and fire, leaving almost only a shell. He was relying on the moonlight from the bright moon over the sea to keep a glimmer of life. "Lin Yuan..." "I have no regrets in my life." Old Man Ye opened his mouth slowly, stretched out his trembling hand and grasped Ye Linyuan's hand.
At the last moment, he used up his last bit of strength and whispered to Ye Linyuan: "No matter who you are, or whether you have any other identity, I recognize you as my only legitimate grandson." "I am buried here today and will go to accompany your grandmother. I only ask that you treat... the Ye family well." Ye Linyuan was silent. He looked at Old Man Ye calmly, looking at his eyes that contained a hint of pleading and expectation. Finally, he held his hand firmly and said. "grandfather." "Hahaha, good grandson, cough cough..." Old Man Ye laughed heartily, and finally died in the valley with a hearty smile and a sense of relief that his wish had been fulfilled. His body turned into ashes and only his clothes remained. Ye Linyuan picked up the clothes, glanced at the people of the Ye family, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes. In this battle, no cultivator of the Ye family retreated, and they paid an extremely heavy price. Two great guest officials, Chu Daoyang and Zhou Mingfu, died in the battle, nearly 40% of the more than 30 members of the Ye family died, and several cultivators in the late stage of Qi training were also killed or disabled. Of the more than forty golden-haired monkeys in the middle and late stages of Qi training, nearly half were killed in this battle. Also, of the nearly four hundred pseudo-Taoist soldiers in the third stage of Qi training, more than one hundred and fifty were killed in this battle. Those who were still alive in the late stage of Qi training included Zhou Yuwan, Chu Lingxi, and the golden-backed giant ape, and almost all of them were seriously injured. Except for a few core combat forces, most of the Ye family’s combat power and foundation have been lost by 30% to 40% in this battle. In fact, these losses were already anticipated by Ye Linyuan. After all, since ancient times, if one wanted to transcend one's own class, one would always have to pay an unimaginable price. Kindness and mercy will only become tombstones for those in power. But at this moment, the death of Old Man Ye in front of him still made Ye Linyuan feel deeply touched. His heart is as hard as steel and as sharp as a knife towards his enemies, but sometimes he is gentle. He doesn't know whether his complicated heart is right or wrong, he only knows to act according to his heart. "Life is like a reverse journey, and I am also a pedestrian." Ye Linyuan looked at everyone and finally looked away.
He has just started on the road to greatness in his life and cannot take care of everyone. He can only try his best to help these people have a smoother journey in the future under limited conditions. He urged the bright moon in the sky to shine on everyone, continuously healing their injuries, and finally temporarily stabilized their injuries. After everyone's injuries stabilized, Ye Linyuan followed Old Man Ye's last wishes and kept everything simple. He buried Old Man Ye's clothes and hat in the back mountain, together with his grandmother Su Miaoyan. When Old Man Ye was alive, he always felt that it was because of him that his Taoist companion Su Miaoyan's body was lost, and he felt ashamed to be buried with Su Miaoyan's clothes and clothes. This time he burned himself to death, leaving behind his clothes and being buried together with his grandmother Su Miaoyan, which was considered to have fulfilled Old Man Ye's wish before his death. After dealing with Old Man Ye's funeral, Zhou Yuwan's injuries were better. He couldn't help but look at Ye Linyuan and asked, "Sir, why don't you go after Taoist Yu?" "Can't catch up." Ye Linyuan shook his head, thinking of the escaped Taoist Yu, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes. He broke through the foundation-building stage with his superior Tao foundation and cultivated eighteen true essences in one breath. Combined with the power of the two great Tao-entering spells, his overall strength should be barely comparable to that of the middle stage of foundation-building. However, he also has some major flaws. Firstly, after breaking through the foundation-building stage, the blessing of the Water Spirit Pearl on him was greatly reduced, leaving only one-fifth of its original effect. After all, the Water Spirit Pearl is only a first-grade, top-quality rare treasure. It is useless to a cultivator who is building his foundation. It is impossible for it to continuously increase the quality of his mana and the speed of his cultivation. In addition, he did not have a spiritual weapon flying sword, nor did he have time to refine the rare spiritual weapon Green Jade Sky-Breaking Boat, so he could not catch up with Taoist Yu who had a spiritual weapon. "The Qinghe Immortal Sect lost a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, but their foundation is still there. Now is not the time to attack them." Ye Linyuan spoke slowly, then looked at Zhou Yuwan and the others and said, "Next, what I have to do is to improve my own strength and plan a foundation-building opportunity for you." "I think one day, we will be able to avenge what happened today." "..." Ye Linyuan asked the Ye family members to go and heal their wounds, and repaired the Big Dipper Star Array, then immediately returned to the cave's spiritual eye. Here, Ye Linyuan first spent some time consolidating his cultivation. After his cultivation was completely stable, he began to examine himself and estimate his own means and strength. This time, after breaking through the foundation, Ye Linyuan cultivated a superior foundation - Canghai Mingyue, and his own strength increased by more than ten times. First of all, Canghai Mingyue’s Taoist foundation is extraordinarily powerful, and it is itself a top-notch Taoist foundation, which makes Ye Linyuan naturally have an extremely powerful foundation. Secondly, Ye Linyuan's two major spells, Nine-Sky Bright Moon and Autumn Water and Long Sky, completed the entry into the Tao and became more powerful spells of entry into the Tao. The potential of entry-level magic is extremely strong, and it itself is comparable to the second-level magic of the Mahayana realm. This is the foundation that can only be cultivated in the late stage of foundation building. In addition, after this breakthrough, his spiritual consciousness also broke through, and now it has covered more than three thousand feet, which is comparable to the spiritual consciousness of the middle stage of foundation building. On the whole, even though Ye Linyuan’s cultivation is not enough now, with the help of the Taoist magic, strong spiritual awareness and superior Taoist foundation, he can be comparable to a cultivator at the fourth level of foundation building. In addition, this time Ye Linyuan cultivated eighteen true essences in one breath, and his magic power was far beyond the level of ordinary people who had just started to build their foundation. You must know that when an ordinary foundation-building cultivator just breaks through, it is normal for him to cultivate three true essences in one breath, and cultivating five or six true essences is already considered a strong foundation. Generally speaking, thirty-six true essences can be cultivated in the early stage of foundation building, one hundred and eight true essences can be cultivated in the middle stage of foundation building, and three hundred and sixty-five true essences can be cultivated in the perfect stage of foundation building. Of course, this is only the minimum standard. Generally, a slightly stronger foundation-building technique can cultivate more true essence. It is common to cultivate 30% to 50% more on this basis.
Ye Linyuan's Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong was known for its powerful true essence. After breaking through the foundation building stage, he found that he could store three times the true essence, which means that he could store one hundred and eight true essences in the early stage of foundation building. Moreover, as the level of cultivation improves, the amount of stored true essence will increase. By the middle stage of foundation building, it can store four times the true essence, and in the late stage of foundation building, it can store five times the true essence of an ordinary person. Once he breaks through the Golden Core realm, Ye Linyuan will be able to store ten times more true energy than an ordinary person. Only then will Ye Linyuan have a preliminary taste of the feeling of inexhaustible magic power. At this time, Ye Linyuan cultivated eighteen true essences in one breath, and his magic power was already quite strong among those in the early stage of foundation building. "My magic power is not weak, and my magic spells are not weak either. It's a pity that the quality of my magic power is a little poor, and my spiritual weapon can no longer keep up with me." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and his brows slightly frowned. The Water Spirit Pearl could no longer keep up with his pace. Fortunately, after he broke through the foundation-building stage, he was able to use the spirit refining technique to refine a second spiritual object. In addition, he could also refine a second-level Water Spirit Pearl to enhance the power and grade of the previous Water Spirit Pearl. Of course, with Ye Linyuan's vision, he would not even look down on ordinary second-grade mid-to-low-quality Water Spirit Beads. He would at least have to use second-grade upper-quality exotic Water Spirit Beads. After all, the effect of the Water Spirit Pearl's blessing is closely related to the cultivator's cultivation. If Ye Linyuan only refines a second-level, lower-grade Water Spirit Pearl, it will be useless when he breaks through the middle stage of foundation building. Even for Ye Linyuan, it would be better to refine the rare and top-grade second-level water spirit beads, which would have a great effect on breaking through the golden elixir. "My cultivation is not as good as it was before, so I don't need to rush to refine the second rare treasure or refine the Water Spirit Pearl again." Ye Linyuan's mind was floating, and then he took out the Yuanchen Water Control Flag and couldn't help shaking his head slightly. This set of Yuanchen Water Controlling Flags was his trump card during the Qi Refining Stage, but it was no longer as good after he broke through the Foundation Establishment Stage, and it would have to be upgraded and replaced sooner or later. Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, thought for a while and took the green flying sword of Ancestor Qian. This is a low-grade spiritual weapon with dual attributes of wood and gold. Its power is average among low-grade spiritual weapons, but fortunately Ye Linyuan can exert its full power, so it is quite good to use it as a means of transportation. He used his powerful spiritual sense to initially refine the green flying sword, and then stored it in his dantian to nurture it. Afterwards, he opened Elder Qian's storage bag and obtained more than 800 spirit stones, more than a dozen bottles of Lingzhen Huangya Pills, and some elixirs. Overall, the wealth obtained was not much, but Ye Linyuan had expected it. For foundation-building cultivators, the biggest expense is never the spiritual weapon, but the elixir used for daily practice. This old man Qian had to take at least one Lingzhen Huangya Pill every day to practice, and one Lingzhen Huangya Pill was worth at least half a spirit stone. In a year, that meant he consumed nearly two hundred spirit stones, and in ten years that meant two thousand spirit stones. Although the Lingzhen Huangya Pill is not of high value, over time it will become a cultivator's biggest expense in practice. There is no other way around this. If one does not take the Lingzhen Huangya Pill and only relies on absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy to practice, then except for geniuses with extraordinary spiritual roots, ordinary foundation-building cultivators may need three decades to practice to perfection in the initial stage of foundation-building. This is Lingzhen Huangya Pill. If you take a first-grade superior exotic pill, the cost will increase by more than three or four times. "When I first started building my foundation, my spiritual tools, formations, spells, everything needed to be improved urgently. I could only complete them step by step." "But cultivation is the foundation of everything, and my true essence is strong. I am afraid that my cultivation will be slow if I take Lingzhen Huangya Pill in the future. I can only take pills at the level of rare treasures." Ye Linyuan whispered in his mind, put the matter aside, and finally summarized his current situation: "The most urgent thing is to cultivate the core spell of Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong first, and then improve the spiritual plant spell first." With this thought in mind, Ye Linyuan began to practice the two core spells of the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong during the foundation-building period. The two spells are "The Pure Moon Spreads Its Light" and "The Bright River Shares Its Shadow". "The Pure Moon Spreads Its Light" is an extremely powerful offensive spell that requires the Nine-Sky Bright Moon as its foundation to be cultivated. Minghe Gongying is a body movement spell, which can create multiple phantoms, and each phantom has a certain combat power.
Once Minghe Gongying is cultivated to the level of pseudo-divine power, Ye Linyuan will have multiple phantom clones with considerable combat power in a short period of time, making it impossible for the enemy to tell where Ye Linyuan's real body is, thus creating an opportunity to defeat the powerful enemy. At this time, Ye Linyuan continued to practice and soon mastered the two spells. However, these two spells are just a glimpse, and are still far from the realm of minor success, major success, or even the second-order limit of pseudo-magical power. Even the Nine-Sky Bright Moon and Autumn Water and Long Sky are not as good as them, and they will not be of much use in a short period of time. "The two major spells have been initially completed. The next step is to let the spiritual plant spell enter the Tao." "But before that, I should leave." Ye Linyuan whispered in his mind, then calmly walked to Yejia Island. At this time, it had been a month since he had established his foundation, and the entire Ye Family Island was filled with joy. The monks of the Ye Family have probably recovered from their injuries, and now they are all in high spirits, excitedly preparing a wedding banquet on the Ye Family Island. Breaking through the foundation is a big deal, not to mention that now that Ye Linyuan has killed Ancestor Qian, he has completely become one of the decision-makers in the Qinghe Islands. Now, among the three foundation-building clans of Qinghe Immortal Sect, the two strongest ones are in the middle stage of foundation-building, one has been severely injured and his cultivation has dropped, while the other has only 30% to 40% of his strength left. With only Ancestor Yu alone, he is no match for Ye Linyuan. The Ye family must take this opportunity to hold a foundation-building banquet. This is not only to celebrate Ye Linyuan's breakthrough in foundation-building, but also to take this opportunity to warn the major families in the Qinghe Islands not to take sides easily. After all, Ye Linyuan is not afraid of relying on the Qinghe Immortal Sect alone, but if the Qinghe Immortal Sect joins forces with the thousands of cultivators in the Qinghe Islands, it will also be a very troublesome thing for the Ye family. Holding a foundation-building banquet to intimidate these Qi-training families is very necessary for the Ye family, which has just begun to step into the foundation-building immortal class. At this time, Ye Linyuan came to the valley hall and found that the Qi-cultivating practitioners of the Ye family were holding a meeting. When they saw Ye Linyuan, they immediately stepped aside with some joy and left the position of head of the family to Ye Linyuan. Ye Linyuan did not say much about this. He just looked at everyone and said, "How has Qinghe Immortal Sect performed during my retreat?" "They have closed the mountain gate, and all the disciples are in seclusion. It seems that they are extremely afraid of you." Zhou Yuwan smiled and spoke, and there was a hint of extreme admiration in her eyes as she looked at Ye Linyuan. In response, Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "Nine-bend Spirit Crane's injuries have not healed, Taoist Xuanyu has also been cursed by me, Taoist Qian died in the spiritual field in the valley, so a mere Taoist Yu naturally doesn't dare to come out and seek death." Having said this, Ye Linyuan looked at everyone and asked, "Have you all been notified of the Foundation Building Banquet?" Ye Qinyang nodded, and couldn't help but smiled and said, "When the news of the death of Ancestor Qian spread, all the major families in the Qinghe Islands were shocked. Except for a very few die-hard members of the Qinghe Immortal Sect, almost all the families have handed in their visiting cards, hoping to meet with my Ye family." "There are already hundreds of monks waiting on Chixing Island, just waiting to see you at the banquet." Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "The foundation-building banquet does not need to be too grand, let those people stay on Red Star Island for three days first, and then I will go to meet them." "I see." Ye Qinyang nodded. He didn’t understand why Ye Linyuan did this, but he still took his words as the truth. But at this point, Ye Qinyang remembered something, and then said: "Shui sent two letters." "Oh?"
Ye Linyuan was slightly stunned, and then waited quietly for Ye Qinyang's words. Seeing this, Ye Qinyang said, "One letter is from Shui Qingzhuo, the head of the Shui family. He wrote to hope to marry Shui Hanqing to you. The other letter is from the ancestor of the Shui family. He just hopes to get a chance to meet you." "Shui Qingzhuo and Shui Clan's ancestor?" Ye Linyuan's eyes moved slightly, and then he asked, "Where's Shui Hanqing? Didn't she write a letter?" At this point, Ye Linyuan shook his head and smiled, "Yes, with her personality, she shouldn't be a flatterer." "Forget it, let's just meet the Shui clan's ancestor." At this point, Ye Linyuan looked at Ye Qinyang and said, "Tell him to come to the bamboo house on the back hill of Yejia Island to see me." (End of this chapter)
