Chapter 156: Star Tower, Beast Yuan Pearl [5K monthly ticket required]
Among the rewards, the most eye-catching foundation-building pill was exchanged by the Song Immortal Clan for 280,000 merits.
This was obtained through the hard work of hundreds of cultivators from the Song family who participated in the battle. Its value is approximately equivalent to two thousand eight hundred spirit stones.
"It seems that the Song family is preparing to train another foundation-building cultivator."
After exchanging the merits, Ye Linwu looked at the list and couldn't help showing a trace of emotion.
Seeing this, Ye Linhai at the side could not help but sigh: "The Song family has an extraordinary foundation. They have earned a lot of spirit stones in these years of business. They should be able to buy one or two foundation-building pills."
"With such a background, there is a good chance that we can train a new foundation-building person."
"Yes, the Song family may start to recover its past fortune." Ye Linchu sighed, and then said: "It's a pity that the possibility of us building a foundation is not great."
Several people present couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The current elders of the Ye family are basically the first batch of members of the family. They obtained very precious cultivation resources, and thus cultivated to the state of perfection in Qi Refining.
But their aptitude is still a little lacking after all, and the possibility of them breaking through the foundation in the future is probably low.
Ye Linchu, who mainly practices the Gold Method, has already failed to break through the foundation once. Even if he relies on the Veins Protection Pill to preserve his source Qi, he will only have one more chance to build the foundation in the future.
Ye Linhai and Ye Linwu majored in water magic and earth magic respectively, but their cultivation has only reached the ninth level of Qi training for a few years. Although there are still some opportunities to impact the foundation-building realm in the future, the possibility of success is probably not great.
The most crucial thing is that although the Ye family is powerful, it is impossible for them to always provide foundation-building pills for them to break through.
Thinking of this, Ye Linwu sighed and said, "The clan leader has treated us well. He told us that he will give us one chance before our life ends. Whether we can break through depends on our destiny."
"..."
While the underground tribesmen were counting the results of the battle, Ye Linyuan and the other foundation-building cultivators gathered at the spiritual vein of the Red Star Island.
In the main hall, Ye Linyuan sat on the main seat, surrounded by Shui Hanqing, Zhou Yuwan, Chu Lingxi, three people in the middle stage of foundation building, in addition there were Ye Qinchu, Ye Qinxin and others.
Not far away, Song Qingming, Taoist Zi Yu and others were sitting opposite each other.
At this moment, everyone present was beaming with glory and showing an expression of joy.
Not far away, Jiaoyuebei spit out a storage bag and spoke first: "Fellow Daoist Wuyun stayed in the current Wuyun Islands. He asked me to bring back some of the Liang family's heritage."
Ye Linyuan nodded. According to the agreement at that time, the Ye family would obtain most of the Liang family's resources, and Taoist Wuyun only wanted the Liang family's spiritual veins and real estate.
The bulk of these are naturally spiritual veins and real estate. You should know that the Liang family has dozens of acres of spiritual fields and a spiritual beast park with thousands of spiritual beasts. These are mines that can continuously produce various resources.
Seeing this, Ye Qinchu on the side also took out a few storage bags from his sleeves and said, "The core assets of the Meng family are all here, but I'm afraid that not many people can afford the spiritual vein."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "It is not easy to sell the second-level spirit vein. I plan to open another Qinghe Immortal Square and open a casual cultivation immortal city there."
"Oh?"
Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan looked at Song Qingming and said, "Fellow Daoist Song, I would like to invite your Song family to go to the Meng Clan Islands to take charge. I wonder if you have any objections."
Song Qingming was slightly stunned, and immediately said with some surprise: "Brother, rest assured, my Song family will definitely protect the Meng Islands."
Ye Linyuan nodded, then renamed the Meng Islands as Canghai Islands, leaving it to the Song family to guard.
According to the agreement between the two parties, the Canghai Islands will become an island group for independent cultivators in the future. In addition to being a habitat for the Song family, the spiritual veins here will be mainly rented out to independent cultivators for cultivation.
In addition, the minerals, spiritual fields, taxes, and various materials here will be contracted to the Song immortal clan.
As for the income from this place, after deducting various expenses and costs, the Ye family will get 70% of the profit, and the remaining 30% will be given to the Song family.
It seems that the 30% profit that Song’s company gets is not much, but it is just profit.
During the operation process, most of the various cultivators and personnel hired were from the Song family, and the salaries paid were all included in the cost.
For the Song Immortal Clan, not only did they get a medium-sized archipelago for cultivation, but they were also able to solve the employment problem for their clansmen. Even if they didn't make any profit, it was a very cost-effective deal.
You know, in the Star Lake Islands, the number of Song family cultivators has reached a bottleneck. Because the resources of the Star Lake Islands are limited, it is difficult to further increase the number of Song family cultivators when the resources are given priority to the Ye family.
Now that they are about to occupy a medium-to-large archipelago, it can be predicted that the Song family will likely restore the number of their cultivators to more than a thousand within a hundred years.
Only when a foundation-building immortal clan has thousands of Qi-cultivating monks will it be more likely to avoid a lack of successors.
If there are three thousand Qi-cultivating monks, it can basically be guaranteed that there will be foundation-building monks from generation to generation. If there are sufficient resources, it can basically be guaranteed that two or three new foundation-building monks will be born every sixty years.
Of course, in order to support three thousand Qi-cultivating monks and solve their cultivation problems, more industries are often needed. Either they need hundreds of acres of spiritual fields, or raise seven or eight foundation-building spiritual silkworms like Lingsang Liu.
But these industries are the goose that lays golden eggs, and it is difficult to maintain them stable without the strength in the late stage of foundation building.
Let's get back to the point. After dealing with the three spiritual veins, Ye Linyuan said, "Is there anything Taoist Ziyu needs?"
Taoist Zi Yu pondered for a moment, then said, "I am content as long as I have a place to stay. There is nothing else I want."
"it is good."
Ye Linyuan nodded, then took out a bottle of Xuanyuan Pills and handed it to Taoist Ziyu, saying, "You have made great contributions in this battle. From now on, for the next sixty years, I, the Ye family, will take care of all the Xuanyuan Pills you have cultivated."
Taoist Zi Yu smiled when he heard this.
As a genius with a superior Taoist foundation, Taoist Zi Yu had no bottleneck before his cultivation to the late stage of foundation building, so what he needed most were cultivation resources.
Xuanyuan Dan is a commonly used elixir in the late stage of foundation building. Taoist Zi Yu is usually reluctant to use it for cultivation. In the future, he will be able to get a sixty-year supply of Xuanyuan Dan, which is a considerable price.
Taoist Zi Yu is now at the third level of foundation building. If he can take Xuanyuan Pills continuously for a period of time, it should be enough for him to cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building. This can at least save him forty to fifty years of cultivation time.
He broke through the foundation-building stage very late, and now he only has less than 170 years left to live. Whether he can cultivate to perfection in the middle stage of foundation-building as soon as possible will determine whether he can break through the golden elixir stage in the future. Naturally, there is no reason to refuse.
Understanding this, Taoist Zi Yu immediately bowed and said, "In that case, thank you very much, Taoist friend."
"Why should we be so polite to each other?"
Ye Linyuan smiled and said nothing more. Taoist Zi Yu and Song Qingming saw this and left immediately.
After they left, Ye Linyuan then said, "Let's count the results of this battle."
Upon seeing this, Ye Qinchu immediately compiled several account books and distributed them to everyone.
"It seems that this time, we have become rich overnight."
After reading the account book, Ye Qinxin spoke for the first time and smiled.
In this battle between humans and demons, they not only defeated their fellow enemies, but also gained unprecedented benefits.
The spoils they obtained were roughly divided into two parts: Lingshan industry and seized floating wealth.
Among them, Lingshan Industry is divided into Mengshi Islands, Liangshi Islands, and Heikui Islands. These three islands have been arranged, so there is no need to say more.
The seized floating wealth was divided into two parts. One was the resources from the Heikui Islands and the accumulated wealth from the Lingshan of the Meng and Liang families. The other was what Ye Linyuan obtained by killing those foundation-building cultivators.
These resources are extremely numerous, yet extremely complex, and most of them are first-level spiritual objects, which are of little value to Ye Lin.
Ye Linyuan separated out the rare treasures and treasures of level two and above, and after counting the remaining ones, he found that they were worth about 160,000 spirit stones.
"Each of the first-level spiritual objects is useless individually, but when added together, their value is not low."
Looking at the list, Ye Qinchu couldn't help but smile.
Ye Linyuan nodded, then handed a list to Ye Qinchu and said, "These first-level resources are of little use to us, so exchange them for the resources on the list." Shui Hanqing took a look and asked curiously, "These materials don't look like they are used to advance to the Bright Moon Sea."
"Yes." Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "I plan to build a second-level spiritual building dojo star tower."
"Star Tower?"
Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan continued, "The Star Tower is a super-large second-level spiritual building, which is a type of second-level dojo. This tower can gather the power of the stars from outer space, and can slightly increase the probability of a cultivator building a foundation."
"In addition, the Star Tower gathers the essence of the stars, which is extremely beneficial for practicing astrology. Moreover, this tower can enhance the power of the Heavenly Secret spell and the effect of divination, and it can also greatly enhance the power of the Star Lake Seven Islands Mountain Protection Array."
After hearing this, everyone gradually understood Ye Linyuan's plan.
The seven islands of Xinghu correspond to the Big Dipper, making it an ideal place to build the Star Tower.
And for the Tianji lineage, the Star Tower is also one of the most coveted spiritual buildings.
Ye Linyuan also practiced the method of Tianji. Now, his divination and blood soul curse have reached the highest level. Only the art of changing fate and astrology have never been able to enter the realm of Taoism.
If he had the help of the Star Tower, Ye Linyuan's astrology would not only be able to enter the realm of Taoism, but would also be able to transform into a pseudo-magical power in the future as the Star Tower was promoted.
Of course, there are actually deeper reasons besides these for spending so much money to build the Star Tower.
If one wants to break through the Golden Core realm with a superior Taoist foundation, one often needs to go through unimaginable external disasters. Ye Linyuan had experienced this hardship and difficulty in his previous life.
This was a life-or-death calamity, and the man made all kinds of plans and arrangements, trying to completely devour Ye Linyuan.
At that time, Ye Linyuan created the Wanhua Sword Art, which was later known as the most powerful minor magical power. He claimed to be a brilliant genius and had made all kinds of preparations and arrangements. He thought he could kill the man who swallowed the Tao.
But facing the powerful enemy in the middle stage of Jindan, Ye Linyuan almost became his meal, and in the end he just barely escaped with his life.
It was not until he broke through to the middle stage of the Golden Core that Ye Linyuan relied on his extraordinary combat power to kill him, but he also left him with extremely serious hidden injuries.
"With the foundation of the higher Dao, it is not easy to cultivate all the way to the middle stage of the Golden Core."
Ye Linyuan thought of the person behind the Canghai Sect, and his heart became more heavy.
That person is known as the number one in the Seven Domain Alliance. His strength and means are probably self-evident. If I am not well prepared, I am afraid I will end up dying.
"A third-level combat body, a golden elixir cold dragon, and at least nine second-level star towers."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly in his heart, this was the goal he had to accomplish before breaking through to the golden elixir stage.
If he cannot prepare these three trump cards successfully, then even if he breaks through the Jindan realm, it will be difficult for him to defeat the mysterious existence.
After all, the other party has accumulated at least hundreds of years of experience since he broke through the Jindan realm, and he also has a large Jindan sect as his foundation. If he does not have enough trump cards, how can he be qualified to survive from the other party?
"Take your time. As the scale of the second-level spiritual farm expands, it shouldn't be a problem to build nine second-level star towers within a hundred years."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and then gradually put all his thoughts aside.
He looked at the people in front of him, and then said: "In the next hundred years, the materials for building the Star Tower will be the most core materials of the family."
"In addition, as the only genius spiritual builder in the family, Ye Xuanheng's foundation building support and cultivation resources need to be upgraded to the highest level in the future."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded slightly and had no objections.
Upon seeing this, Ye Linyuan looked at the last account book. The remaining account books contained the most precious treasures obtained on this trip. They were basically first-level rare treasures and second-level spiritual objects.
Among them, there are eleven first-order rare magic weapons and six first-order rare treasures that can help people cultivate a superior foundation for the Tao.
Unfortunately, among these rare treasures, there is no material that can help Ye Xuqiu and Ye Yingxu cultivate a superior Taoist foundation.
Of the two, Ye Xuqiu's cultivation of the Fire Sea Golden Lotus requires two rare treasures, the 'Southern Mysterious Blazing Fire' and the 'Rare Golden Lotus', which are also very difficult to find in the Tianxing Sea.
The two rare treasures that Ye Yingxu needed were extremely rare treasures of the heavenly secret type, which were hard to find in the Tianxing Sea for a hundred years. It required luck and opportunity to find them.
However, Ye Linyuan felt that Ye Yingxu's fortune was extremely amazing, so he should not need two rare treasures.
As for Ye Chongyun, he had some sources for the ancient black bronze jade he needed in the Tianxing Sea, so Ye Linyuan needed to prepare to purchase one or two in person in the future.
Ye Linyuan collected all these rare treasures, preparing to use them to exchange for treasures for the three people in the future, and then looked at the remaining treasures.
These are all second-grade spiritual treasures and spiritual weapons, of which there are more than thirty second-grade lower-grade spiritual treasures and spiritual weapons, and more than twenty second-grade mid-grade ones.
There are only three remaining second-grade top-grade rare treasures and spiritual weapons.
They are respectively the second-level rare treasure Canghai Pearl, the leather belonging to the Black Shark Demon King, and the 'Beast Yuan Pearl', a treasure from the Liang Immortal Clan.
Among the three treasures, the Canghai Pearl is naturally needless to say, the leather of the Black Shark Demon King can be used to refine the Seven-Leaf Sail, and the last Beast Yuan Pearl is an auxiliary top-grade spiritual weapon.
This item is used to assist spiritual beasts in their cultivation. It can increase the cultivation speed of foundation-building spiritual beasts by 50%. Ye Linyuan plans to give it to the King Kong Giant Ape for future cultivation.
After all, Jiaoyuebei has the Jiaoyue Sea, and Hanchi has the Demon King's Dragon Ball to assist in his cultivation. Their cultivation speed has improved by leaps and bounds, and they have both broken through to the middle stage of foundation building for some time.
The only exception is the King Kong Giant Ape, which clearly has no bottleneck before breaking through the late stage of foundation building, but is still stuck in the early stage of foundation building.
In addition to these treasures, Ye Linyuan also obtained the remains of six foundation-building spirit beasts, including three demon snakes and three spirit beasts from the Liang family.
Ye Linyuan planned to use his flesh and blood to refine the Flesh and Blood Pill, and keep all the other materials for later use when he had time to refine them into six foundation-building puppets.
After counting these treasures, Ye Linyuan divided up the useful spiritual tools, leaving the materials for family members to improve their cultivation skills, and kept the rest in the clan treasury for future use.
At this point, the treasures have been dealt with.
After dealing with all this, Ye Linyuan stood up and said, "Calculating the time, the Xuanyuan Fruit is ripe this time. I will go to Tianxing Sword Sect first. You should digest the gains from this battle as soon as possible."
Afterwards, Ye Linyuan picked the Xuanyuan Fruit, left the Xinghu Islands, and headed towards the Tianxing Sword Sect.
As usual, he rented the Earth Fire Room to refine the Xuanyuan Pill. After the pill was refined, Ye Linyuan found Minghuang Jianzi who had been waiting for a long time.
This time, Minghuang Jianzi looked particularly proud, as if he had gained huge benefits from this battle.
Seeing Ye Linyuan coming out, Minghuang Jianzi smiled and said, "How do you feel this time?"
"not bad."
Ye Linyuan smiled, then gave the Xuanyuan Pill and a list of lists to Minghuang Jianzi.
Minghuang Jianzi took a look and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "With so many spirit gathering beads, what are you going to do?"
"I plan to expand the scale of the spiritual field."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, then said with a serious look: "The family's spiritual energy is insufficient, and the second-level spirit gathering beads are too expensive. I can only buy as many first-level high-quality spirit gathering beads as possible, and use a special formation to gather spiritual energy to supply the spirit field."
"I'm afraid this approach can only temporarily alleviate the urgent need."
Minghuang Jianzi shook his head, and then said: "Why don't you move to the Heikui Islands or the Liang Islands?"
Ye Linyuan smiled bitterly, then said, "My hundreds of acres of spiritual fields cannot be moved just like that. Although this method is a bit stupid, it can at least solve the urgent problem."
"After a few years when the mid-level spiritual fields have output, I will buy some more second-level spiritual gathering beads, which should be able to solve this problem."
Seeing this, Minghuang Jianzi didn't say much, but just said: "I'll find a way to get you a few second-level spirit gathering beads at a low price."
