Chapter 22: Spirit Gathering Array Flag In the Cangling Sea, the materials for refining storage bags and storage rings are scarce, but there are many types of Lingbei. This type of Nahai shell is relatively common. The material cost is much lower than that of a storage bag, and the price is also much cheaper. Even so, for Qi-refining monks, Nahaibei is still an expensive luxury item, and many monks in the middle stage of Qi-refining cannot afford it. Fortunately, Old Man Ye inherited the legacy of his predecessors. Not only did he get a Nahai shell, but it was also a top-quality one with an internal space of six feet square. This was considered quite generous among the cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining. After packing up everything, Old Man Ye and Ye Linyuan were about to board the boat and leave. "Master Ye." But just as they were boarding the boat, a voice called out to Ye Linyuan. Ye Linyuan turned around and found a stunningly beautiful woman walking towards him quickly. The person who came was Shui Hanqing. She called the two of them and said with gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your advice. Hanqing has gained some enlightenment." Ye Linyuan smiled, and then said calmly: "I said that some people can feel the rain, while others will only get wet."
"You can realize something, which proves that you are that kind of person. My words are just to let you take that step in advance." Shui Hanqing shook his head slightly, and then said gratefully: "It is difficult to repay your kindness, could you please leave your address?" "If you need anything in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness today." Ye Linyuan waved his hand, then smiled and said, "No need, if we are destined to meet again, we will meet again." Having said this, he untied the rope of the boat and disappeared into the ocean with the waves. Shui Hanqing stood where he was, watching Ye Linyuan disappear into the sea fog, feeling inexplicably lost. "..." "Since you gave her some advice, why don't you accept the favor?" Old Man Ye rowed the boat, looked back at the shore which was becoming increasingly unclear, and could not help but ask. Old Man Ye was a little puzzled. The Shui family was quite powerful. If she could really become a spiritual plant husband because of this, the value of this favor would probably be quite high. Ye Linyuan shook his head, stood calmly at the bow, looked at the vast ocean and said: "In the Qinghe Islands, there are only three Qi training families with the surname Ye." "If she is interested, she will find out our origins. If she is not, it is better not to show her favor verbally." Old Man Ye was slightly stunned and looked at Ye Linyuan again, but saw the young man standing at the bow of the boat. His moon-white long clothes set off his slender figure, and he had an indescribable outstanding demeanor. For some reason, Old Man Ye had a feeling and an incredible thought in his heart. He had a feeling that his grandson was like a dormant dragon lurking in the abyss, accumulating strength to soar into the sky. One day, when this real dragon of his comes out of the abyss, it will surely sweep across the entire Cangling Sea. "..." We come in a hurry and leave in a hurry. The old man and the young man steered the small boat and spent another three days crossing the 2,000-mile Cangyuan and returned to Yejia Island.
After returning to Yejia Island, Ye Linyuan cleared out two acres of fertile land and planted Five Elements Wood saplings and ten Garcinia seeds. These were all real spirit seeds. Ye Linyuan carefully nurtured them with the Spirit Nourishing Technique and the Spirit Rain Technique. After several days of hard work, he finally restored the vitality of these spirit seeds. After doing all this, Ye Linyuan began to refine the formation flags. A first-level low-grade spirit gathering formation required three formation flags to be successfully deployed. The biggest trouble in refining the formation flags was weaving the cloth for the flags. Ye Linyuan personally weaved the cloth and was busy for seven or eight days before he completed the weaving of the flags for the three formation flags. Then he made a flagpole out of the spiritual wood, fused it with the flag, and carved lines of spirit gathering array patterns on it. Fortunately, the spirit gathering array does not need to be refined with true fire, so with Ye Linyuan's level of refining, it is not a problem to handle this. After working like this for about half a month, he finally succeeded in refining this first-grade, inferior spirit gathering array. "Look at the effect." After completing the spirit gathering array, Ye Linyuan immediately set up the spirit gathering array relying on the spirit eye of the cave. With the successful arrangement of the spirit gathering array, he immediately activated the array and discovered that the spirit eye's spirit gathering effect increased dramatically, and all the meager spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be flowing towards the spirit eye. "Yes, from now on, I can breed four strands of spiritual energy every day." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and then fell into deep thought. After pondering for a long time, he left the cave spirit eye, and then found Old Man Ye and said, "The spirit eye on the top of the mountain can be used by Brother Linze and Huaixue for the time being." Old Man Ye was slightly stunned, and immediately showed a hint of surprise. He seemed to understand something and immediately looked at Ye Linyuan, but saw Ye Linyuan nodded. He immediately exclaimed excitedly. "My Yuan'er is truly a genius." Old Man Ye was extremely excited. He had already guessed that Ye Linyuan had refined the Spirit Gathering Array, and he felt extremely ecstatic about it. Because the arts of cultivation are precious, even if one only masters the lower-grade first-order arts, it is enough to make a living in the world of immortal cultivation. If one could master the Hundred Arts of cultivation at the middle level of the first stage, there would be great hope of breaking through to the late stage of Qi training in the future. Of course, it is not impossible to set up a low-grade spirit gathering array in the early stages of Qi training. The reason why casual cultivators cannot master the various arts of cultivation is never because of lack of talent, but because they cannot afford to buy the materials to practice. As the saying goes, a skilled cook cannot cook without rice, and without materials there is naturally no possibility of improvement. For example, Ye Tianke has been a first-class lower-grade weapon refiner for many years, but he has never had the opportunity to practice, so he cannot become a first-class middle-grade weapon refiner. On the contrary, it is normal for the inner disciples of those foundation-building sects to master the hundreds of arts of cultivation in the early stages of Qi training. These monks were all trained by their sects or families, and studied for several years under the guidance of highly skilled seniors. After gaining experience, and providing enough materials to practice, basically within two or three attempts, you can master the lower-level first-level cultivation arts. On average, the cost for a foundation-building sect to train a disciple who masters the first-level lower-grade cultivation arts is often no more than three or five spirit stones. It is extremely difficult for ordinary casual cultivators to practice. Without the guidance of senior masters, and without the ability to take out so many spirit stones to buy materials for training, it is naturally difficult for them to master the hundreds of arts of cultivation. This time, Ye Linyuan only bought one set of materials. Old Man Ye only thought of it as a practice tool and did not hold much hope for its success.
Although there has never been a shortage of geniuses in the world of cultivating immortals, those independent cultivators in the late stage of Qi training basically have their own strengths. In the early stages of Qi training, although it is rare to refine a first-level low-grade formation in one go, it is not an isolated case. But no matter what, Ye Linyuan was able to succeed in one go, which can only be explained by his genius. (End of this chapter)
