Chapter 123 Hatching the Cold Chi【5K】
Ye Linyuan said goodbye to Taoist Zi Yu and went overseas quietly.
In fact, he didn't really care whether Taoist Zi Yu was grateful or not. After all, he rescued Taoist Zi Yu just to make his own Taoist heart more smooth.
If he wants to embark on the path of ascending to the Dao foundation, whether his Dao heart is smooth is extremely crucial, which will be of great benefit to his comprehension of shortcut magic and future enlightenment.
As for making Taoist Zi Yu his friend, it was essentially just a casual move on his part. It would be better if he could use it in the future, but if he couldn't, he wouldn't suffer any loss.
After all, it was just a casual act and he didn't pay any price.
Of course, Taoist Zi Yu knew that he had obtained a rare second-level treasure, which might become an unstable factor, but fortunately, Taoist Zi Yu did not know his true identity.
After all, in this battle, Ye Linyuan only used the Geng Jin Needle from beginning to end.
Looking across the Tianxing Sea, although there are few geniuses who have mastered the shortcut magic, there are probably no less than seven or eight of them. After all, spirit plant husband has been an important profession since ancient times.
Of course, after Ye Linyuan has established his foundation and revealed his fame in the Tianxing Sea, it might still arouse speculation from others.
However, by that time, Ye Linyuan, as a foundation-building cultivator, would no longer be someone at the bottom of the immortal cultivation world who could be easily controlled.
Moreover, Ye Linyuan knew about the life of Taoist Zi Yu. If this person had evil intentions, he should have joined the Foundation Establishment Sect and established his foundation long ago.
And judging from the results of divination, Ye Linyuan believed that the possibility of this person leaking the information was unlikely.
"There are a few hidden dangers, but it's worth it if it allows me to keep my mind clear."
"After all, now is the critical moment of building the foundation. A smooth Tao heart can also increase my success rate."
Ye Linyuan smiled and shook off all distracting thoughts, then quietly headed out of the Hanchi Islands.
Arriving at the outskirts of the Hanchi Islands, Ye Linyuan suddenly felt something, and then stepped onto a deserted island.
On this deserted island, Ye Linyuan noticed the figure of Old Man Ye and immediately asked in surprise, "Grandfather, why are you here?"
"This is not the place to talk, let's go."
As Old Man Ye said this, he quickly pulled Ye Linyuan towards the outside of the Hanchi Islands.
As they walked, Old Man Ye explained, "I was afraid that your journey would be dangerous, so I came to see if I could help."
"I wanted to meet you outside, but the Snake Island suddenly collapsed. I thought you had already..."
When he said this, Old Man Ye's eyes turned red, unable to hide his excitement.
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "Grandfather, you are old, you don't have to worry so much about your grandson's affairs."
“I’m old, and I always want to do something more.”
Old Man Ye sighed, but couldn't help asking, "What was the result of this trip?"
Ye Linyuan did not answer, but just nodded slightly, and then continued to walk out of the island.
Seeing this, Old Man Ye forced himself to suppress the surprise in his heart and followed him all the way to the Qinghe Islands.
This time, the two of them still hid their cultivation level and walked slowly, and they did not start to slow down their pace until they were thousands of miles away from the Hanchi Islands. Finally, with the blessing of Ye Linyuan's Qiu Shui Chang Tian, they traveled for a month before returning to the Qinghe Islands.
After returning to Yejia Island, the two came to the spiritual eye of the cave. Old Man Ye couldn't help but ask, "When are you going to build your foundation?"
"No hurry, we still need to prepare more."
Ye Linyuan shook his head, looking solemn.
Breaking through the foundation is a matter of great significance to Ye Linyuan and the entire Ye family.
First of all, to break through the foundation-building stage, in addition to foundation-building pills or rare treasures, you also need sufficient spiritual energy to break through.
Generally speaking, at least one second-level lower-grade spiritual spring is needed to help a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of Qi training to successfully break through.
Ye Linyuan does not have a second-grade lower-grade spiritual spring, but he has nine first-grade upper-grade spiritual eyes. With the blessing of the upper-grade soul-locking formation, each of these spiritual eyes can gather eighty-one spiritual energies, and together they can store seven hundred and twenty-nine spiritual energies.
The total amount of spiritual energy is still a little insufficient, but if it can be used as the core of the formation to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it will be more than enough to help Ye Linyuan break through.
However, this premise also requires a set of super-complex formations to mobilize the nine spirit eyes in a unified manner.
In addition, the noise of breaking through the foundation is too huge. In this endless ocean, cultivators thousands of miles away may be able to detect the abnormality, and the process of breaking through the foundation usually takes at least one day.
The Qinghe Immortal Gate is right in front of him. With the speed of a foundation-building cultivator, it would take only two hours at most to attack the gate, so Ye Linyuan must be adequately prepared before breaking through.
Old Man Ye also understood this, but he asked with a serious look, "What are you going to do?"
"Master taught me a set of Big Dipper Star Array. If the nine spiritual eyes, seven bright and two dark, are used as the core of the array, it can gather spiritual energy from hundreds of miles around. I think it is more than enough to help me break through."
"I have prepared the materials needed to set up the formation. I just need seven cultivators in the late stage of Qi training to barely unleash the full power of this formation."
Old Man Ye nodded, and then said, "The old man and your two maids have all reached the perfection of Qi training. The family is not short of people in the late stage of Qi training now, so we should have enough manpower."
"The formation is not a problem, so the next step is how to resist the external enemies."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and then said after careful consideration: "With the suppression of the Tiangang Invisibility Formation and the Disha Bewitching Formation, I should be able to hide the breakthrough phenomenon in the first half of the day."
"Taking into account the time it takes for Qinghe Xianmen to build their foundation, you will still need to hold out against Qinghe Islands for half a day."
Hearing this, Old Man Ye's eyes couldn't help but become solemn. Ancestor Yu and Ancestor Qian of the Qinghe Islands were both in the early stages of foundation building. Relying on the Big Dipper Star Array, they might be able to resist for half a day.
However, Taoist Xuanyu was in the middle stage of foundation building, and Jiuqu Linghe was in the perfect middle stage of foundation building. They were definitely not something that the first-level spiritual vein of Xinghu Seven Islands could withstand.
Ye Linyuan had anticipated this, but he pondered and said, "Nine-bend Spirit Crane was severely injured that year, and now at most has recovered 30% to 40% of its strength. He is also worried that we are pawns used by Minghuang Swordsman to lure him into action, so he will most likely not take action."
"As for that Taoist Xuanyu, I also have a way to prevent him from taking action."
At this point, Ye Linyuan looked at Old Man Ye again, took out a formation diagram and handed it to him, saying: "In the next period of time, I have to prepare for building my foundation. Grandfather, please inform the clansmen to arrange the auxiliary formation center of the Big Dipper Star Formation according to this formation diagram."
"Don't worry, this is a matter of great importance to the future of our entire clan. I will personally supervise their deployment of the formation."
Old Man Ye took the formation diagram, took a look at it, and nodded solemnly.
Having said this, Old Man Ye immediately stood up and left the cave spirit eye, and began to gather the core members of the Ye family to prepare for the formation.
Looking at the old man Ye's departing back, Ye Linyuan's eyes also showed a hint of sigh.
Since his reincarnation, Old Man Ye has given him a lot of help and protected Ye Linyuan through his weakest periods. He is also the person he trusts the most in all these years.
Now he is on the verge of building his foundation. Logically speaking, the Ye family is about to prosper and it is time for him to give back to the family. However, Old Man Ye has already passed his 100th birthday and no longer has the opportunity to break through to the foundation-building stage.
"Alas, this is my fate, what can I do to change it?"
Ye Linyuan's mind was in turmoil, and then he took out the various gains from this trip from his sleeve.
He was extremely cautious on this trip and only made one move from beginning to end. Naturally, the treasures he seized were not many, but each one was a rare treasure in the world.
Among these treasures, there are two first-level treasures, one is the Cang Hai Spring and the other is the Frost Dragon Egg.
The egg of the cold dragon was originally a rare cold jade snake egg. Because it absorbed most of the essence of the cold jade snake king, its bloodline transformed again and transformed into a cold dragon egg.
"A true spirit that surpasses the rarest spirit beasts."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his mind, and couldn't help revealing a rare look of surprise.
Rare spiritual beasts are extremely powerful, but they are far less powerful than the true spiritual descendants.
Take the Frost Chi egg in front of him as an example. After its successful transformation, it contains a tiny trace of true dragon blood. The possibility of breaking through to the Golden Elixir in the future is probably at least no less than 30%.
If he could tame it into his own spirit beast, Ye Linyuan would have a great helper in the future.
You know, even though Ye Linyuan was a powerful Golden Core Master in his previous life, the Chili Fire Dragon was also one of his greatest helpers along the way.
"Become my spirit beast."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his mind, then activated the Beast Taming Soul Seal, causing it to fly into the cold dragon's egg.
At this time, the cold Chi had not yet been born, and had little resistance to the beast soul seal. It took Ye Linyuan no time to carve the soul seal on it. As soon as the beast soul seal was completed, Ye Linyuan suddenly felt a strong chill rushing into his body, which even made his sea of consciousness feel a little chilly.
Moreover, his control over the Beast Taming Soul Seal in his sea of consciousness has reached its limit.
Ye Linyuan understood that he could no longer continue to sign a contract with the spirit beast.
Because a cultivator's spiritual power is limited, he can only form three beast-controlling soul seals in his lifetime. If he exceeds this limit, his soul will be damaged, and his cultivation will most likely be difficult in the future.
Of course, there are some special secret methods of taming beasts that can increase the number of beasts that can be tamed, but it is usually difficult to cultivate more than ten beasts, and few beast tamers are willing to do so.
Because cultivating spirit beasts requires a large amount of resources, an ordinary cultivator would greatly reduce his cultivation speed even if he cultivates one, let alone cultivating more than three spirit beasts.
"Golden-backed giant ape, bright moon shell, and North Sea cold chi."
"A species with great potential, a rare spiritual beast, and a true spiritual descendant. I think it will be enough to accompany me for many years."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart and sensed the breath of the Frost Chi Egg again, only to find that the Frost Chi Egg suddenly shook.
So he smiled slightly, and then couldn't help but said with a smile: "It seems that you are about to be born, so I will give you a hand."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linyuan activated his true energy, attracting a lot of spiritual energy into it.
The cold dragon egg absorbed a lot of true energy and began to shake more and more violently. Finally, with a series of cracking sounds, cracks appeared on it one after another.
Then, a young cold dragon crawled out from it.
"Roar."
The cold dragon took a look at Ye Linyuan, and immediately crawled out happily. Then it circled around Ye Linyuan twice in surprise, and finally climbed onto Ye Linyuan's arm affectionately.
It was not until this time that Ye Linyuan could clearly see the appearance of this cold dragon.
But it had a single horn on its head, its whole body was blue and white, it had four claws under its belly, and its eyes were as clear as two blue pearls.
"A cold Chi with pure bloodline."
Looking at the cold dragon in front of him, Ye Linyuan rarely showed a hint of joy.
This cold Chi had just been born, but his cultivation was already comparable to the seventh level of Qi training. What was rare was that his bloodline was quite pure, and there was an extremely rich trace of Taoism in his body, which was obviously left to him by the cold jade snake.
This kind of blood power is even stronger than when Chi Li was young.
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then looked at Han Chi and said, "You have Han Chi blood, so why not call you Xiao Han from now on."
"Hooho."
The cold dragon chirped twice happily, then fell down and started eating the eggshell with a crunching sound.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan casually took out a crystal clear small tower and a dazzling pearl and said, "These are the magic weapons and dragon balls left by your ancestors. Now is the time to return them to their original owners."
"If you carry it with you and practice it day and night, your cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds in the future."
The cold dragon's eyes suddenly lit up, and it no longer cared about the eggshell on the ground. It quickly swallowed the transparent small tower into its stomach. As for the inner elixir, it could not swallow it, so it could only hold it carefully in its arms and absorb it.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but smile.
Of these two treasures, the Ice Soul Glazed Tower is a rare spiritual weapon of the second rank, and it is also a rare spiritual weapon with ice attributes. He simply does not have the ability to sacrifice and refine it.
As for this dragon ball, it is essentially the inner elixir of a dragon, and it is a treasure of inestimable value. This treasure can be used to make pills and medicines, and it can also be used to refine third-tier magic weapons. It is a treasure for Jindan cultivators.
However, for Ye Linyuan, it is best to use it to cultivate this Han Chi.
Because the cold Chi and this inner elixir belong to the same cold dragon, and their blood is extremely close, it can absorb the Taoist essence and power of this dragon's inner elixir.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, if Han Chi could swallow this dragon's inner elixir when he breaks through to the golden elixir stage in the future, the probability of a successful breakthrough would be increased by at least 30%.
The original Han Chi had at least a 30% chance of successfully breaking through. With the help of this dragon's inner elixir, the probability of a successful breakthrough would probably be no less than 60% to 70%.
If Ye Linyuan could find one or two rare second-level treasures to assist in his breakthrough, the possibility of Han Chi transforming into a Golden Core Demon King would be almost certain.
"You have a bloodline that defies the heavens, and you also have the legacy of the Golden Core Demon King. You, Little Cold Chi, are really lucky."
Ye Linyuan couldn't help but shook his head, revealing a trace of emotion.
He believed that even the young black dragon might not have the same opportunity as the little Han Chi.
After all, the dragon ball of the Golden Core Demon King is too precious, and even his father, the Black Flood Demon King, cannot afford it.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan sent Han Chi to the underground river, and then said: "You will practice in the underground river in the future, and don't come out easily unless necessary."
"In addition, you must not harm the Bei people in the dark river."
After explaining all this, Ye Linyuan turned around and looked at the last object, which was the second-level rare spiritual weapon 'Green Jade Sky-breaking Boat'.
Ye Linyuan had already experienced the power of this rare spiritual weapon, but he needed to build a foundation before he could refine it, so Ye Linyuan could only put it away.
"With this Jade Sky-Breaking Boat, my ability to protect myself will be greatly enhanced after I build my foundation."
"The next step is to arrange for the foundation building."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his mind, then took out a small bottle, which contained a pool of bright red blood.
Looking at the blood, Ye Linyuan calculated for a moment, then suddenly frowned and asked, "Su Shaoyu is not dead?"
"With his strength, it stands to reason that there is no possibility for him to escape, unless there is a master who secretly rescues him."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his mind, and then used the divination technique again to continue calculating.
Logically speaking, the divination technique at the near-level combined with the armor of the North Sea Black Turtle should be enough to deduce the plan for the great perfection of foundation building.
But what surprised Ye Linyuan was that the secret remained hazy, as if a mysterious force was hindering his calculations.
This made Ye Linyuan decisively end his calculations, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
With his current divination skills, he was unable to figure out who rescued Su Shaoyu. The meaning behind this made Ye Linyuan feel extremely solemn.
"Su Shaoyu's background is clear, and it is impossible for him to have the support of a great Jindan master."
"But he was rescued without anyone noticing. The only possibility is that one."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
After a long while, he stood up with a solemn expression, took a deep breath and said, "It seems that Shui Hanqing's fate is also full of ups and downs."
"Forget it, the breakthrough is important."
Ye Linyuan's mind was floating, and then he drew out half of the blood.
He collected the remaining half of the blood, then looked at the small ball of blood, and then pondered for a moment, "Which one should I use?"
In an instant, Ye Linyuan stretched out his hand, and four bloody ancient characters appeared in his hand, namely - 傷, 斃, 滅, 喨.
"The word 'hong' is extremely powerful. With my current cultivation, I can curse and kill a person in the late stage of foundation building, but the cost of activating it is too great."
"The word '滅' is slightly inferior. With this pool of blood essence, it should be able to kill a person in the middle stage of foundation building. However, it will consume ten years of my lifespan, and my vitality will also be greatly damaged."
When Ye Linyuan saw the word "Mie" for the first time, he was a little moved at first, but soon shook his head.
For him, consuming ten years of his lifespan is a small matter. The most important thing is that after performing the technique, his vitality will be seriously damaged. Even with the recovery ability of the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, it will take at least three years to recover.
"It seems that the only thing I can do is to cast the '斃' spell."
Ye Linyuan quickly made up his mind and decided to use the "斃" spell to deal with the Taoist Xuanyu.
Because the power of the "傷" spell is not enough to kill a strong enemy of a higher level, the "斃" spell is much stronger. Although it cannot kill Taoist Xuanyu, it can still cause him serious injuries, and it will be difficult for him to recover from the injuries within several years.
