Chapter 129 Bright Moon Foundation Building [5K] Due to the lack of spiritual energy and elixirs, his cultivation progress was not much during the past year. He only increased his true essence by two points, but his overall strength was greatly improved. First of all, he recovered the alchemy and weapon-making skills from his previous life, and roughly consolidated his level as a second-class upper-grade weapon refiner and alchemist. Secondly, he mastered the two shortcut magics of astrology and fortune-telling, and his field of Tianji reached a level comparable to the second order. In the future, as long as he could find suitable rare treasures and obtain the essence of Taoism, he would be able to directly step into the upper level of the second order. The most important thing is that the pure moon's brilliance and the bright river's shadow also reached the realm of Hinayana under Ye Linyuan's comprehension. The entry-level magic spells in the Hinayana realm are the realm of cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building, and these two spells are considered to be among the top-notch entry-level magic spells, and can further enhance Ye Linyuan's means. "With my current strength, even if I were to face Taoist Xuanyu in his prime, I wouldn't be much inferior to him." Ye Linyuan's mind was floating, and then he calmly stopped practicing and looked at the underground river beside him. However, in the underground river, the Moon-Shaped Shell slowly rose into the air, and a hint of transcendent spirituality and Taoism emerged on its shell. At this time, Jiaoyuebei came to his side intimately, revealing a hint of anxiety.
In response, Ye Linyuan just smiled, and then said: "Your blood is abundant, your spiritual energy is sufficient, and it is indeed time for you to break through." "Kaka——" Hearing him say this, Jiaoyuebei happily circled around Ye Linyuan twice, revealing a hint of joy. Ye Linyuan didn't say much, he just stood up and said: "You break through here, I will protect you." "..." Compared to the unpredictable and dangerous situation when Ye Linyuan broke through, Jiaoyuebei's breakthrough can be said to be very smooth. The first three steps of the breakthrough were almost a natural process for Jiaoyue Bei thanks to her own bloodline, and it became much easier to absorb spiritual energy and practice afterwards. Because he had the second-level spiritual spring to provide spiritual energy, and the Big Dipper Star Array to help him absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he didn't encounter any problems at all. At the critical moment of the breakthrough of the Bright Moon Shell, the strange phenomenon also alarmed the Qinghe Immortal Sect thousands of miles away. However, after Taoist Yu noticed the direction of the Bright Moon Shell's aura, he had no intention of taking action. Even though Taoist Yu had been building his foundation for more than two decades, he did not have the courage to take action in front of Ye Linyuan. This is because the means of a superior Dao foundation are definitely not comparable to those of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator. Although they are all in the early stage of foundation-building, if they want to fight against Ye Linyuan, who is comparable to a middle stage of foundation-building, they will probably need at least three or four ordinary early stage foundation-building cultivators to work together. "It's the Bright Moon Shell. It turns out it fell into this person's hands." "Damn it, all the hard work we put in back then ended up helping this guy." Deep inside the Qinghe Immortal Gate, the Jiuqu Linghe was awakened from his retreat, and a hint of murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes as he looked towards the seven islands of the Star Lake. He almost couldn't help but rush out to kill Yejia Island, but he still forced himself to suppress that trace of murderous intent. Today, he has only recovered 40% of his combat power, which is only at the initial level of foundation building. Although he can exert most of his strength if he risks his life, that will inevitably lead to further aggravation of his injuries. "It will take another 30 years for my injuries to heal. Xuan Yu's cultivation level has fallen, most likely because of this person's curse." "Now that Bright Moon Shell has broken through under his protection, it seems that sooner or later he will join forces with that Bright Glory Swordsman." "In this case, I can only start planning and find an opportunity to strike first."
With this thought in mind, a hint of coldness flashed across Jiuqu Linghe's eyes, and then he sent out a communication talisman. "..." At the same time, the Seven Islands of Star Lake. Under the moonlight, Ye Linyuan stood calmly on the top of the mountain, quietly waiting for the Bright Moon Shell to successfully break through. This time, Jiaoyuebei's breakthrough was exceptionally smooth. From beginning to end, there was no powerful enemy blocking the way. Finally, the Bright Moon Shell rose into the sky and transformed into a moon-white fairy shell that floated across the sky, emitting an incomparably gorgeous and soft moonlight, illuminating the entire Seven Islands of Star Lake. "good." Looking at the Bright Moon Shell, Ye Linyuan's eyes moved slightly and he couldn't help but smile. "Owner." The Moonlight Shell slowly fell down and appeared in front of Ye Linyuan. The foundation-building spirit beast cannot speak yet, but it can use its spiritual sense to move the air and make human voices. After all, sound is essentially produced by the collision of air. Today, Jiaoyuebei has intelligence and cultivation at the foundation-building stage that is not inferior to that of ordinary people, so it is not difficult for it to communicate with people directly by making sounds. The voice of Jiaoyuebei is like that of a gentle woman, and there is a sense of purity in her gentleness. It stood in front of Ye Linyuan with some joy, and couldn't help but said excitedly: "Thank you, Master, for helping me achieve enlightenment." "Your achievements today are also your own luck." Ye Linyuan couldn't help but smile slightly, and then he looked at the strength of Jiaoyue Shell. As a spiritual beast with water and moon attributes, the Moonlit Shell is very similar to a cultivator who mainly cultivates water spiritual roots. Its combat power is at the bottom among cultivators of the same level. Therefore, even though Jiaoyuebei is of a rare bloodline, its strength after breaking through the foundation-building stage is only at the level of an ordinary person in the early stage of the foundation-building stage, which is not much different from that of Taoist Yu. If it were a spiritual beast that is good at fighting, such as the golden-backed giant ape, and could be promoted to have a rare bloodline and then build a foundation, it would probably have a strength close to the middle stage of foundation building, and would be able to fight against three people against Yu Dao Ren. If Zhou Yuwan and Chu Lingxi can build a foundation, they should also have the strength of the top early stage of foundation building, and should be able to fight two ordinary early stage foundation builders at once. Shui Hanqing is stronger. She has developed a sword energy that makes her good at fighting, and with the blessing of her Taoist body that is about to awaken, she should be able to reach the level of a person in the middle stage of foundation building once she enters the stage. Of course, this Moonlight Shell is a little weaker, but it has its own advantages. First of all, after being promoted to the foundation-building stage, its ability to reproduce shellfish has directly increased several times. In the future, it will even be able to produce a large number of first-level middle and lower-quality spiritual shellfish, and even first-level high-quality exotic spiritual shellfish can be bred. The shells of these spiritual clams play an important role in cultivating second-level spiritual fields, and will save Ye Linyuan a lot of expenses in the future. Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but look at Jiaoyuebei and said, "You consolidate your cultivation first. After a few years, when I have accumulated enough spirit stones, I will use the Moonlight Mirror to set up a second-level Taiyin Capturing Array for you." "really?" Upon hearing this, Jiaoyuebei was immediately surprised. As a rare spiritual shell, Jiaoyue Shell did not have any major bottlenecks before breaking through the late stage of foundation building. The only thing it lacked was cultivation resources.
But for Jiaoyuebei, spiritual energy and elixirs are secondary. What it needs most is the moonlight. If it can have a second-level Taiyin Soul-Capture Array, it may even be able to reach the late stage of foundation building within a hundred years. Knowing this, Jiaoyuebei said in surprise: "Thank you, Master." "Practice well. You are very important to me." Ye Linyuan waved his hand, and then said: "Since you have already made a breakthrough, there will be someone to guard the family from now on." "In a while, the Tianxing Sea Region will hold a ten-year bartering convention. I plan to take this opportunity to go to Tianxing Fairy City and see if I can buy some materials first." Upon hearing this, Jiaoyue Bei immediately said, "With the help of the formation you have set up, Jiaoyue will surely be able to protect the seven islands of Xinghu." Ye Linyuan nodded, and then came to the spiritual field. He first picked the garcinia accumulated in the spiritual field, and with the assistance of Ye Qinyang, he refined it all into yellow bud pills. In the end, he obtained three hundred first-grade top-quality rare treasure Huangya Pills, more than one thousand Lingzhen Huangya Pills, and a total of fifty-three bottles of ordinary Huangya Pills. The top-grade rare treasure Huangyadan is made from the mother plant of Garcinia. The market price of one pill is two spirit stones, and the total value of these is six hundred spirit stones. Generally speaking, it is not cost-effective to use the mother plant of Garcinia to refine the Yellow Bud Pill. After all, the production value of a mother plant of Garcinia is at least hundreds of spirit stones, and the pill refined into it may be worth only thirty spirit stones. However, the Ye family now has too many Garcinia mother plants, and there are only a limited number of families on the market that can grow Garcinia. In addition, Ye Linyuan plans to control the planting area of Garcinia in the future. These Garcinia mother plants are no longer useful to Ye Linyuan. This batch of cut down Garcinia mother plants are all middle-aged Garcinia mother plants that are over 30 years old. They can no longer produce seeds for many years and may not be sold at a high price in the market. It would not be too much of a loss for Ye Linyuan to refine the rare treasure Yellow Bud Pill before his spiritual power is exhausted. Getting back to the topic, after packing these pills, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but count them and roughly estimated the price of these supplies. "I won't sell the Lingzhen Huangya Pills, but the remaining Huangya Pills can be sold for about a thousand Lingshi." "After a few years, when we start planting Xuanyuan Fruit, the output of these Huangya Pills will be reduced several times, and we can only use them for our own cultivation." Speaking of this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. With his current cultivation skills and alchemy skills, if all of his spiritual fields were planted with Huangya Dan, he could generate an income of more than a thousand spirit stones every year, but he couldn't use all of it to plant Huangya Dan. Although the Xuanyuan Fruit takes longer to mature, it produces higher profits, and the Huangya Dan will no longer be of much use to Ye Linyuan in the future. The only trouble is that in the next ten years, there will be no output of Xuanyuan Fruit, and it is necessary to go through a growth period to switch to planting Xuanyuan Fruit. "I only have over a thousand spirit stones. I don't know if I can buy all the materials I need." "If it really doesn't work, we can only sell some magic tools and spiritual objects." Ye Linyuan whispered in his mind, then he raised his sword and flew out of the Seven Islands of Star Lake, all the way to the Tianxing Fairy City. The flying speed of a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building is extremely fast. If he flies with a low-grade spiritual weapon, he can usually fly about 10,000 miles a day. After all, Ye Linyuan has a superior foundation in Taoism. Although the flying sword under his feet is just an ordinary low-grade spiritual weapon, its speed is faster than that of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, and he can fly about thirteen thousand miles a day. With such an extreme speed, he arrived in front of the Tianxing Continent in just seven days. Ye Linyuan has been practicing for thirty-one years and has come to the Tianxing Islands more than twenty times, but this is his first time coming here as a foundation-building cultivator. The treatment he received is very different from that of the past. He flew all the way across the port. None of the guards and monks who used to show off their might had any complaints. Instead, they showed expressions of great envy. Even when they arrived at Tianxing Fairy City, the disciples of the Tianxing Sword Sect put away their arrogance.
After the Qi Refining Master who was in the lead took his token, he was so surprised that he bowed and saluted. He said respectfully, "It turns out to be Senior Ye. I am honored to meet you." "Go back." Ye Linyuan nodded, then stepped into the Tianxing Fairy City. Since ancient times, high-level cultivators have always had privileges. Even the Qi-cultivating disciples of the Jindan sect and the Yuanying ancient sect would always maintain a certain awe towards the foundation-building cultivators from the outside world. After entering Tianxing Fairy City, Ye Linyuan calculated with his fingers and found that there was still some time before the Foundation Building and Exchange Conference held once every ten years, so he did not waste any more time. He walked all the way to the market town and went to the shops selling medicinal pills. Not long after he walked, he stopped in front of a shop called Song's Pharmacy, where he saw an acquaintance. He was a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair. He was wearing a blue-gray gown and looked poor. "Song Qingming." The moment he saw this person, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but smile. This man was from the Tianmeng Islands. The Song family he belonged to was once a foundation-building immortal clan, but they fell into decline a hundred years ago. I remember that when Ye Linyuan left the Qinghe Islands for the first time, he met this person. At that time, Song Qingming was only in his early twenties and looked full of vigor. But now, he has gray hair, wears gray clothes, and looks poor. In fact, Ye Linyuan has dealt with Song Qingming many times over the years, and he met him every time as Ye Canghai of that year. At that time, part of the Huangya Dan refined by Ye Linyuan would be sold to the Song family shop, and Song Qingming would also buy it at a high price of 95% off, and did not take too much advantage of him. Over the past few decades, Ye Linyuan has dealt with him almost every year, and they have become friends. So this time when Ye Linyuan sold the Huangya Dan, he was also preparing to take care of this person's business. "That's strange." Ye Linyuan calculated with his fingers and found that Song Qingming's fortune was gloomy and he looked poor and destitute. However, deep in his destiny, there was a ray of green light, which was a sign of a noble destiny. "His fortune is bleak, and he will most likely live a life of poverty, but his fate is quite extraordinary, and he seems to have the potential to build a foundation, or even form an elixir." “How strange, how bizarre! Is it possible that someone could be so poor and destitute and yet still be able to cultivate all the way to the foundation-building stage or even the elixir-forming stage?” Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but become interested in Song Qingming. This time he did not transform into Ye Canghai's appearance, but stepped into the Song's pharmacy in his true appearance. Song Qingming was wiping the cabinet. When he saw someone coming, he was about to greet him. However, when he saw the visitor's cultivation level, his expression suddenly changed. But he quickly stood up, bowed respectfully and said, "Junior greets you, Senior. Your presence brings honor to our store. I wonder if you need anything in our store. I will bring it to you right away." Ye Linyuan did not answer, but found a table and chair to sit down, and then asked directly: "Do you have enough spirit stones in your store?" When Song Qingming heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he felt that the person who came was looking for trouble.
He immediately revealed a look of distress, and said with a sad face: "I have already paid the rent and share money this year. Now there are not many spirit stones in the store. I hope that senior will be kind enough to help..." Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan burst into laughter. Judging from Song Qingming's skilled appearance, it was obviously not the first time that someone had asked for protection money. So he didn't waste any time, casually took out the Yellow Bud Pill and said, "I'm going to sell some Yellow Bud Pills, but I can't get a good price in the shops run by the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan, so I want to find some small shops to sell them." "I'm afraid your family can't eat it, so I asked first." Upon hearing this, Song Qingming immediately felt relieved, as long as he was not here to collect protection money. He took a closer look at the yellow bud pills in front of him, and immediately said with a wry smile: "These yellow bud pills are worth thousands of spirit stones. If you take them to the store of the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan to sell, I'm afraid you can only sell them at an 80% discount." "The shop can give you the full price, but I can't afford the spiritual stones." Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan nodded slightly. The Song family was once a foundation-building immortal clan, and now they still have several top-notch Qi-training immortals who have reached the great perfection of Qi training. It may not be impossible for them to come up with a thousand spirit stones, but it will take a long time to mobilize the funds. Moreover, the cost of purchasing Huangya Dan at full price is too high. Even if it can be sold at a certain premium in Tianxing Fairy City, there will not be much profit to be made. Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan said, "I wanted to visit a few more small shops, but now I don't want to go there in person." "You run a shop here, so you should be familiar with the small shops opened by the Qigong families. If you can call everyone here, I can give you a 95% discount. How about that?" When Song Qingming heard this, he immediately showed joy. Purchasing Huangyadan at a 95% discount, if he sells it at a premium, he can still make a certain profit, which is also a good deal for him. Especially those Lingzhen Huangya Pills, which are things that all foundation-building cultivators need to buy. The most important thing is, if you help this foundation-building cultivator and take the opportunity to establish a relationship with him, you may be able to have an extra guarantee in the future. Thinking of this, Song Qingming immediately bowed and said, "Junior will do it right away." Having said that, he quickly asked the maid to make tea for Ye Linyuan, and then immediately left the medicine shop. He was very efficient, and soon he brought several drug store owners to find Ye Linyuan. These drug store owners were basically top-level Qi-training immortals, or they were Qi-training families that had declined from the foundation-building immortal clan. Most of these families had a certain foundation, and they joined forces to quickly buy up this batch of yellow bud pills, allowing Ye Linyuan to recover thousands of spirit stones in one go. Ye Linyuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional about this. Over the years, he has sold Huangya Dan in Qinghe Xianfang many times, but except for the part sold to the Song family, the rest were almost all sold at a 10% discount. Even if the sale was at a 10% discount, one still had to go to each store one by one with great effort. How could one sit there casually like today? These people came one after another to buy the goods, and the price was also as high as 95% off. "Different strengths lead to completely different attitudes." Ye Linyuan's mind was wandering. He dismissed everyone and then looked at Song Qingming and asked, "Do you know why I'm looking for you?" Song Qingming's head was buzzing, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't remember what the relationship between him and this person was. In response, Ye Linyuan smiled, and then transformed into the appearance of Ye Canghai.
When Song Qingming saw this scene, his expression suddenly changed and he asked, "Brother Ye?" (End of this chapter)
