Chapter 78: Unifying Star Lake Legend has it that in the Star Tower, comprehending the superior Tao foundation of the star type can at least increase the chances of a breakthrough by 10%. It is even said in legend that star towers above the fourth stage have the power to reach the heavens, and can help in breaking through the Nascent Soul stage or even peeping into the realm of the Primordial Spirit. "In this life, since I can find the Seven Star Island, if I have enough experience in the future, I may be able to plan to build a star tower." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, but quickly suppressed the thought. To build the Star Tower, one needs at least 7,000 first-level spiritual trees and the second-level rare treasure 'Star Pearl'. Even an ordinary Jindan force would have to mobilize the entire clan to build it. It is simply beyond his reach at the moment. After suppressing his thoughts, Ye Linyuan looked at the spiritual vein of Red Star Island again. After a long while, he said in deep thought: "There is a first-level intermediate-grade spirit gathering array and spirit locking array in this spiritual vein, but it can't provide me with a breakthrough." "So the most urgent thing is that I still need to purchase two pieces of rare treasure spiritual wood and two pieces of rare treasure silk to upgrade the formation." Upon hearing this, Old Man Ye nodded. To break through from the middle stage of Qi training to the late stage of Qi training, one must absorb at least thirty spiritual energies at one time.
However, the top-grade spiritual eyes of the Red Star Island can only store nine spiritual energies. Even if three times the amount stored by a first-grade mid-grade formation is added, there are only twenty-seven spiritual energies. If this amount of spiritual energy was used for an ordinary mid-stage Qi Refining breakthrough, then only three spirit stones would be needed. However, it was far from enough for Ye Linyuan. Ye Linyuan's meridians can store sixty-four strands of true qi. If he wants his true qi to achieve a qualitative change, he will probably have to absorb at least forty-five strands of true qi in one breath. Understanding this, Ye Linyuan said, "I have already informed Taoist Yu in advance. As an elder who has completed his Qi training, he should have a channel to purchase rare treasures and spiritual plants." "It's hard to say. We still need to make preparations for both scenarios." The exotic spiritual wood itself is extremely rare and rarely appears in the Qinghe Islands. Even if there is only a piece on the market, it will be snapped up. Last time in Tianxing Fairy City, Ye Linyuan had the chance to buy it, but because of the spiritual peach tree, Ye Linyuan exchanged the yellow bud pill that was purchased from the rare spiritual wood for the Sumeru Treasure Talisman, thus missing out on a rare opportunity. Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but ponder and said: "If I can't buy it from Taoist Yu, then I will cut a piece of spiritual peach tree trunk." Old Man Ye nodded, and then said: "Although this will reduce the output of spiritual peaches, it can be regarded as a helpless move." After plundering all the opportunities of the spiritual eye, the two returned to the Lin family's Taoist temple. At this time, the Taoist soldiers of the Ye family were plundering the inheritance of the Lin family's cultivators from house to house. Ye Linyuan and Old Man Ye watched in the center of the Taoist temple. They were busy for a whole day before they collected most of the treasures. When Ye Qinyang and others came back in the afternoon, they piled all the treasures on the Lin Family Square. Afterwards, Ye Qinyang and others counted for a long time before they registered all the treasures seized this time. Because it was too late and they were exhausted from the fierce battle, they did not immediately take stock of their gains, but instead rested for a night at the Lin family. Early the next morning, the core members of the Ye family gathered in the Lin family’s main hall, and each of them showed a rare look of joy. Ye Qinyang handed the two account books to Ye Linyuan and Old Man Ye, and then said with a smile: "This time, we have gained a lot." Ye Linyuan took the account book and took a look at it, and couldn't help but smile. This time, they took over the entire Lin family, and their gains were huge. Among all the captured items, the most precious ones are the six spirit eyes. These six spirit eyes are the top-grade spirit eye from Chixing Island, the middle-grade spirit eyes from Qianjia Island and Zhangjia Island, and three low-grade spirit eyes. Among these spirit eyes, the top-grade spirit eye is worth hundreds of spirit stones, the mid-grade spirit eye is worth thirty spirit stones, and the low-grade spirit eye is the cheapest, but is also worth ten spirit stones. It can be said that these six spirit eyes alone are worth more than two hundred spirit stones. For the Ye family, after taking these spiritual eyes, they not only had a treasure land that could assist in breaking through the late stage of Qi training, but also added five new spiritual eyes for cultivation.
From now on, the several Qi-cultivating cultivators of the Ye family will be able to disperse to several middle and lower-grade spiritual eyes to practice, and then leave the spiritual energy of the Ye Family Island for Ye Linyuan to use. Because there are not many cultivators in the Ye family nowadays, these spirit eyes still have a lot of spiritual energy left, which can be used to grow some low-level spiritual plants or miscellaneous spiritual rice and other things. In addition to the spirit eyes, the biggest items they seized were spiritual objects, magic tools, and spirit stones. There are nine spirit stones among them, which are the most basic floating wealth. There are more than a dozen spiritual objects and about a hundred kilograms of chalcedony rice. Most of these are low-grade first-level spiritual objects, and their total value is only equivalent to about four or five spiritual stones. There are thirty-two magic weapons, including twenty-four first-level low-grade magic weapons, seven first-level mid-grade magic weapons, and only one of the most precious first-level high-grade exotic magic weapons, which is the big knife in the hand of Ancestor Lin. The sword is dark black in color and covered with golden Taoist patterns. It is made of the rare black-patterned black gold, so it is also extremely powerful. The power of this treasure is so great that if an ordinary person in the early stage of Qi training dares to take it head-on, he will probably die on the spot. Even someone in the middle stage of Qi training will be seriously injured by one move. The reason why the Ye family's pseudo-Taoist soldiers were able to stab him to death was mainly because they formed a formation to disperse the power of the broadsword, and they also had the defense of the Thousand Refined Heavy Armor and the long spear. Otherwise, even if dozens of people in the early stage of Qi training joined forces, they would be killed by Lin the Elder with one sword each. In fact, if Ye Linyuan had not threatened with his shortcut magic and flying knives, and if Ancestor Lin had not fled in order to cover their retreat, it would have been difficult for the hundreds of pseudo-Taoist soldiers to stop him. It can also be seen from here that the Ye family's pseudo-Taoist soldiers are better at positional warfare, and have very powerful effects in defense and sniping, but if they want to actively pursue a strong enemy, they are likely to be pulled back by the strong enemy and defeated one by one. "The value of these magic tools is more than sixty or seventy spirit stones." Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and then picked out four mid-grade magic weapons and gave them to Ye Qinxin and others, saying: "This time, all the uncles and brothers have made great contributions. These mid-grade magic weapons are given to you as rewards." Upon hearing this, Ye Qinxin and the others were delighted. After they broke through the middle stage of Qi Refining, they would not be able to exert their full strength if they continued to refine lower-grade magic tools. With the mid-grade magic weapon, plus the support of the foundation-building technique and the Three-Transformation Condensation Essence Art, they will be able to fight even if they face a sixth-level Qi training cultivator in the future. Ye Qinyang and Ye Qinchu each had a mid-grade magic weapon, so this time Ye Linyuan did not share it with them, but only rewarded them with a batch of cultivation resources. (End of this chapter)
