Chapter 147: The Mid-stage of Foundation Building [5K Subscription Request] Ye Linyuan pondered in his mind, and then carefully cultivated these five elements of wood, treating them as his most cherished flesh and blood. In the following period of time, Ye Linyuan resumed his days of meditation. He no longer left the Xinghu Islands easily. He stayed in the Xinghu Islands all day long to meditate and take care of spiritual plants. He knew very well that time was the most important thing for him now. Because he has no shortage of resources for cultivation, he only needs to wait for dozens or hundreds of years to reach the late stage of foundation building. It will be much safer for him to come out of the mountain at that time. Time passed quickly during the leisurely meditation. During this period, he received a large amount of materials sent by Minghuang Jianzi, most of which were resources used to cultivate the second-level dojo, the Sea of Bright Moon. After completely consuming these materials, the Sea of Bright Moon was finally successfully upgraded and became a second-level lower-grade dojo stretching for twenty miles. With this dojo, the speed of practicing the Moonlight Shell increased by 50%. The quality and reproduction rate of the spiritual shells here also increased greatly, which greatly made up for the insufficient storage of the Ye family's spiritual shells. The most important thing is that several alien species of spirit pearl shells have mutated in the shell field.
The Lingzhu oyster can continuously breed "exotic pearls". Such treasures can not only be used to refine instruments and make medicines, but also as materials for cultivating top-grade spiritual fields. However, the best spiritual fields are at the golden elixir level, and the amount of 'exotic pearls' consumed per acre is too huge. This amount of exotic pearls is just a drop in the bucket for the best spiritual fields. Even if 10,000 of them are gathered, they can only cultivate one best spiritual field. "The number of Lingzhu shells is too small, and the top-grade spiritual fields are still out of reach." As for the Lingzhu Oyster, Ye Linyuan only instructed the Jiaoyue Oyster to cultivate it carefully and try to expand the population size of the Lingzhu Oyster to prepare for the future. In addition to the second-level shell field, Ye Linyuan also successfully upgraded the other six spiritual eyes on the seven islands of Star Lake, adding six second-level lower-grade spiritual springs to the family. At this point, the Ye family possessed nine second-level lower-grade spirit eyes, and the overall scale of the spirit veins and the speed of spiritual energy conversion had been greatly improved. In order to keep the secret, the Song family of immortals were also arranged to live on Qinghe Island with Song Qingming over the years. Not long after being promoted to the second-level spiritual spring, a message came from the depths of the Tianxing Sea. "He succeeded." On the edge of the vast ocean, Ye Linyuan looked at the information in his hand, and his brows slowly frowned. Ye Qinchu nodded, his face slightly solemn as he said, "When Han Tianchou was attacking the fake pill, more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators went to block his way, including five in the late foundation-building stage." "Unfortunately, no one could have imagined that Han Tianchou actually asked a fake Dan Zhenren for help. Those people did not dare to attack the fake Dan Zhenren, and could only watch Han Tianchou succeed in his attack." "Master Fake Dan?" Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Who is the Master Fake Dan who made the move?" "I don't know." Ye Qinchu shook his head and said solemnly: "That person is extremely mysterious and seems to be intentionally hiding his identity. No one knows where he came from." "Hidden identity?" Ye Linyuan frowned slightly, thinking of Minghuang Jianzi's attitude, and suddenly understood something. It is impossible for the fake Dan master to appear out of thin air, and it is also difficult for him to hide his identity under the nose of the Tianxing Sword Sect. Therefore, the person who made the move, even if he was not the Fake Dan Elder of the Tianxing Sword Sect, should have some connection with the Tianxing Sword Sect.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan said: "We are weak, so we don't need to worry too much about the affairs of these high-level cultivators. The most urgent task is to improve our own cultivation as soon as possible." "I see." Ye Qinchu nodded, but after thinking about it, he said, "I'm just worried that Han Tianchou might attack us because of the Song family." "no need to worry." Ye Linyuan shook his head, and then said: "In order to break through the Jindan stage, the Han ancestor lacked resources, and he might have taken action against the Song family without caring about his face." "But now that he has made a breakthrough, if he still wants to tear his face off against the Song family, it would be completely ungrateful." "High-level monks are more concerned about their reputation. Without sufficient benefits, it is impossible for them to attack the Song family for such a small matter." "As for us, with the relationship with Minghuang Jianzi, he won't easily break up with us." Hearing him say this, Ye Qinchu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "With your words, I finally feel relieved." "..." Forgetting about Han’s affairs, Ye Linyuan returned to his low-key practice. Time flies, and before you know it, a long time has passed. Ye Linyuan was sixty-eight years old this year. It had been twenty-three years since he successfully built his foundation, and he had finally cultivated one hundred and eight true essences. "The accumulation of true essence is full and complete, and I can strive to reach the middle stage of foundation building." Ye Linyuan woke up from seclusion, slowly sensed the powerful magic power in his body, and couldn't help but smile. The spiritual energy consumed to break through the middle stage of foundation building is not small. Ye Linyuan has cultivated 108 true essences, and the spiritual energy consumed for the breakthrough is several times that of the same level. Fortunately, Yejia Island now has nine second-grade lower-grade spiritual springs, and Ye Linyuan also has sufficient spiritual stones in his hands, so completing the breakthrough is no problem. "If I use the formation to draw the spiritual energy from the nine spiritual springs and add some spiritual stones, it should be enough for me to complete the breakthrough." Thinking this in his mind, he immediately prepared to make arrangements to break through to the middle stage of foundation building. But at this moment, Ye Linyuan suddenly sensed a stream of light coming from outside the island, and the person who came shouted loudly from a distance. "I am Liang Xuanfeng from Yuling Island. I am here today to visit Fellow Daoist Ye. I wonder if you would be willing to come out and have a chat with me?" "Liang Xuanfeng from Yuling Island?" Ye Linyuan's eyes moved slightly, and after a little thought, he remembered this person's origins. Yuling Island is located on the edge of the Tianxing Sea. It is a large shallow sea archipelago, and the Liang family of the Yuling Islands is quite powerful. This lineage has five foundation-building masters, including two in the middle stage of foundation-building. Not only that, the Yuling Island is also very good at driving spirit beasts. It is said that they have at least several second-level spirit beasts at the foundation-building level. It can be said that the overall strength of the Liang family of Yuling Island is very powerful, and they are well-known in the Tianxing Sea. The Liang Xuanfeng in front of them is the patriarch of the Liang family who is in the middle stage of foundation building. "We don't know this Liang Xuanfeng at all. Why did he come to us today?" Just at this time, Shui Hanqing and others came out. Zhou Yuwan looked at Liang Xuanfeng and couldn't help asking curiously.
"I don't know either." Ye Linyuan shook his head, then said, "Let me meet this person first." Having said this, Ye Linyuan flew out of the Seven Islands of Xinghu Lake, and then bowed to Liang Xuanfeng and said, "So it's the leader of the Liang clan. You are really a rare guest." "I didn't know you were coming to visit me, so please forgive me for not welcoming you." "Where." Liang Xuanfeng spoke politely and greeted Ye Linyuan with a warm face. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Ye Linyuan invited Liang Xuanfeng to the Yingke Peak and personally poured him a cup of tea. Then he asked, "Daoyou, what are you doing here today?" When Liang Xuanfeng heard him say this, he immediately said with a serious expression: "To be honest, I came here today to ask for medicine." "Seeking medicine?" Ye Linyuan's eyes moved slightly, and then he said, "I wonder what kind of rare and precious spiritual medicine you are talking about?" "Blood Spirit Grass." Liang Xuanfeng spoke decisively, revealing a hint of anticipation. Ye Linyuan frowned slightly, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, "How did you know that I have the Blood Spirit Grass?" "It came from the Black Dragon Demon Realm." At this point, Liang Xuanfeng said, "When Daoist Fellow and Taoist Wuyun entered the Black Shark Islands, they were said to have gained a lot, and also got a batch of Blood Spirit Grass." “I also heard that fellow Daoist has an extremely high talent for spiritual plants, and is suspected to be a second-level upper-grade spiritual plant husband, so I thought of putting the blood spiritual grass in your hands.” Ye Linyuan then calmed down his gaze, took a sip of the tea and said, "The Blood Spirit Grass is indeed in my hands." "It is true." Liang Xuanfeng showed a look of surprise, and then said: "I wonder if that rare blood spirit grass is still there now?" "This thing will be of great use to me. I am willing to buy it at a high price." "I see." Seeing this, Ye Linyuan shook his head and said, "It's a pity that you came too late. I have already taken that rare blood spirit grass out and exchanged it for other opportunities." Liang Xuanfeng's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and then he said with a wry smile: "Forget it, it seems that I have no chance of getting the rare blood spirit grass." "You've made your trip in vain." Ye Linyuan nodded, a hint of regret showing on his face, and was about to get up to see the guest off. But at this moment, Liang Xuanfeng hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking: "By the way, I heard rumors before that fellow Taoist is suspected to be a second-level upper-grade spiritual plant husband. I wonder if this is true or not." Ye Linyuan did not answer immediately, but said ambiguously: "I do have some talent in spiritual plants." "really." Liang Xuanfeng's eyes lit up, and he stood up and wandered around for a long time before he gritted his teeth and looked at Ye Linyuan and said, "I have a secret that will be of great benefit to both you and me. I wonder if you are willing to cooperate with me?" "Oh?" Ye Linyuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Fellow Daoist, please speak." Liang Xuanfeng did not reply immediately, but said with a serious look: "Please swear, fellow Taoist, that after you know the news, you will not disclose the secret without my permission." "it is good."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then immediately swore an oath. When he made the oath, Liang Xuanfeng immediately set up a ban, and then said with an extremely cautious expression: "I found a remote island in the boundless deep sea." "On that island, there is not only a second-grade superior spiritual vein, but also a naturally formed Yimu earth vein." "Oh?" Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan's expression changed slightly. The so-called Yi Wood Earth Vein is one of the Five Elements Earth Veins. This secret realm was formed by chance, when the Five Elements Qi between heaven and earth converged, and it is filled with extremely special Taoism. A Yimu land vein not only contains precious treasures of the five elements, but is also a treasure for cultivators with wood spiritual roots. In addition, the Yimu land vein is also an extremely special treasure land for spiritual plant cultivators. It can allow cultivators with wood spiritual roots to comprehend the Taoism contained therein and increase the possibility of cultivating pseudo-magical powers of spiritual plants. Knowing this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but take a deep breath. He looked at Liang Xuanfeng and said, "First of all, the lowest level of land veins are third-level treasure lands, which are often occupied by great monsters at the Jindan level. We can't take them down with our strength." "Secondly, the Yimu Earth Vein is so precious. Even if you knew the news, why did you tell me?" "Daoyou is indeed cautious." Liang Xuanfeng smiled immediately, and then said solemnly: "To be honest, because fellow Daoist is neither too strong nor too weak, my Liang family can suppress your Ye family. If it was someone in the late foundation building stage, I would not want to tell him about this." "Secondly, the Yimu Earth Vein is a vein that is about to collapse. Most of the Dao essence and spirituality within it have dissipated. There is no Golden Core Demon King stationed there, only a few demons at the Foundation Establishment stage." "The most important thing is that some of the rare spiritual plants in the Yimu land veins need to be picked by a second-level high-quality spiritual plant farmer to avoid loss." When Ye Linyuan heard this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly. What Liang Xuanfeng said seemed to make sense. After all, the cultivation of ordinary second-grade upper-quality spiritual plant husbands had basically reached the late stage of foundation building or above. Once he invited such people, Liang Xuanfeng was afraid that he could only get a small portion. But after hesitating for a while, he shook his head and said, "The Yimu vein is indeed precious, but it is still too dangerous to cross the deep sea. Daoist friend, please let me think about it for a while." "This is the first time we've met, so it's reasonable for me to give it some thought." Liang Xuanfeng nodded, then stood up and said, "It's just that the Yimu earth vein's spiritual power is damaged. I'm afraid it will be completely destroyed in a decade at most. Fellow Daoist, please make a decision as soon as possible." Having said this, Liang Xuanfeng did not pause any longer and simply stood up and walked away. After he left, Ye Linyuan used divination to calculate for a while and found that what Liang Xuanfeng said seemed to be true. However, when he wanted to calculate good or bad luck, he found that the secrets of heaven were obscure and unclear, and he felt that it was difficult to understand. "It's unpredictable?" Ye Linyuan frowned slightly, revealing a look of surprise. With his divination skills at an entry level, he was unable to predict good or bad luck, which was beyond his expectations. "Could it be that there is some other mystery?" Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then found Shui Hanqing and took out the Black Turtle Armor to help him make calculations. This time, the power of divination doubled, and it immediately dispelled the heavy fog and revealed a hint of the hidden mystery.
"interesting." Ye Linyuan suddenly spoke, and after repeated calculations, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Seeing this, Shui Hanqing beside him couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" "Someone has concealed the secret. I'm afraid Liang Xuanfeng didn't come here just to ask me for help." Ye Linyuan smiled, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. Shui Hanqing's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "We must not fall for other people's tricks." "Of course I understand." Ye Linyuan nodded, and after calculating again and again, he finally said calmly: "Time is on our side, and the most urgent thing for us is to practice." "..." At the same time, Liang Xuanfeng came to a hidden deserted island. Outside the deserted island, several mysterious figures had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Liang Xuanfeng arrive, one of them immediately asked, "How is it, did he agree?" "No." Liang Xuanfeng shook his head and said calmly: "This person is very cautious, I'm afraid he won't come out easily." Another person spoke up and said decisively: "I don't believe it. As a spiritual plant husband, how could he resist the temptation of Yimu Earth Vein?" Another black-robed figure spoke up, revealing a bit of solemnity, "Fellow Daoist Liang invited this person to explore the Yimu Earth Vein directly when we first met. This is too much of a purpose. I'm worried that this person will become wary because of this." "Human nature is greedy. As a spiritual plant husband, he will never give up this opportunity as long as he wants to cultivate pseudo-spiritual plant magical powers." The first black-robed figure spoke, his face cold, "Next, he will definitely try to investigate the intelligence. We will continue to release news secretly to confuse him." "We have been planning for many years. As long as he shows signs of greed, we will be able to catch him in the trap." "..." Just as these people were making plans and arrangements, Ye Linyuan returned to the cave. He remembered Minghuang Jianzi's reminder to him, and couldn't help but sneer: "You are just in the early stage of foundation building, can't you hold back like this?" "Su Shaoyu, Meng Shi, and who else?" Ye Linyuan kept considering it, and after a long time he suppressed the thought. But he activated the Star Lake Seven Islands Formation, and then came to the spiritual spring in the cave. He saw that the spiritual energy of the nine spiritual springs began to gather continuously, and finally poured into the spiritual spring in the cave. "In this world, all plans are auxiliary means, only strength is real." "When faced with a dangerous and unpredictable situation, only if you are strong enough will you have a chance to take advantage of the situation." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then drew the vast spiritual energy into his body and began to impact the middle stage of foundation building. The superior Taoist foundation is natural, and Ye Linyuan's foundation is the best among the superior Taoist foundations. There is no bottleneck before breaking through the golden elixir. Now that he has sufficient cultivation and enough spiritual energy to help him, Ye Linyuan’s breakthrough can almost be said to be a natural result.
He absorbed 90% of the spiritual energy from the nine spiritual springs and refined thousands of spirit stones. Finally, he stepped steadily into the middle stage of foundation building. "One hundred and fifty true essences." After successfully breaking through, Ye Linyuan sensed the vast true energy in his body and couldn't help but exhale slowly. With this breakthrough, his true essence increased by forty-two at once, and the quality of his true essence also increased by fifty percent from the original level. You know, after refining the second-order rare water spirit beads and practicing the Six-Transformation Condensation Essence Technique, the quality of his magic power is already very strong. For ordinary seventh-level foundation-building cultivators who mainly practice earth magic, the quantity and quality of their true essence are about this level. In addition, Ye Linyuan's spiritual consciousness also skyrocketed to more than 6,000 feet, reaching the late stage of foundation building. In other words, Ye Linyuan has now reached the threshold of the late stage of foundation building in terms of his spiritual awareness, quality of true essence, and quantity of true essence. Coupled with the five Mahayana Taoism spells of Pure Moon, Bright River Sharing Shadow, Autumn Water and Long Sky, Bright Moon in the Nine Skies and Geng Golden Needle, Ye Linyuan's overall strength has been completely consolidated at the level of the late stage of foundation building.
