Chapter 164: Blood and Soul Visit, Relics of the Forefathers
Ye Chongyun possessed a black copper combat body, and now he had obtained Taiyi black copper, so it was natural for him to break through, and before long he had cultivated a superior foundation for the Tao.
Moreover, after the breakthrough, Ye Chongyun's strength is very powerful. His frontal combat power is comparable to that of the middle stage of foundation building, and is not much inferior to the Han Chi of the same level.
"The strength and potential are comparable to those of the True Spirit Descendants. It is worthy of being the legendary Black Bronze Battle Body."
Sensing Ye Chongyun's cultivation, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but show emotion.
Ye Chongyun participated in the family competition at the age of fourteen. Now, in just twenty-one years, he has already broken through to the foundation-building stage. It can be said that he is extremely talented.
At the age of thirty-five, he had reached the foundation-building stage about ten years faster than Ye Linyuan had achieved it back then.
"Thank you for your cultivation, clan leader." After Ye Chongyun broke through, he immediately knelt in front of Ye Linyuan, showing an expression of great emotion.
Ye Linyuan nodded, patted Ye Chongyun on the shoulder and said: "You have good talent, practice well in the future, I think you can help me one day."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chongyun said with a firm expression, "When the clan leader breaks through the golden elixir, I will become the toughest treasure shield and war spear in your hands."
Ye Linyuan smiled and said nothing more.
He turned his head and looked at Ye Xuanheng and Ye Xuanjin. They both nodded immediately and stepped into the earth veins in understanding.
Ye Xuanheng and Ye Xuanjin are both true disciples cultivated by the Ye family for many years, and the resources they have obtained are far beyond what Ye Linwu and others can match.
This time they not only obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill, but also Soul Nourishing Pill, Meridian Protecting Pill and other rare treasures. With this foundation, they have at least a 40% to 50% chance of breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage.
But after all, it was only the first breakthrough, and Ye Xuanjin still failed to break through. He suffered serious injuries and was only one step away from entering the foundation-building stage.
However, Ye Xuanheng was luckier and broke through to the foundation-building stage in one go.
"It seems that we still need to build the Star Tower as soon as possible."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then took out three rare pills and gave them to Ye Xuanjin.
These three healing pills are all first-grade rare treasures, and can even restore the essence and injuries caused by failure in foundation building, but the value of each one is no less than thousands of spirit stones.
Ye Linyuan gave Ye Xuanjin three at once, which could shorten the time for him to recover from his injuries from twenty to thirty years to about ten years.
That is to say, Ye Xuanjin has an extraordinary talent for alchemy, which is worth cultivating with all one's strength. In addition, Ye Linyuan grows his own spiritual herbs and makes his own pills, so the cost of healing pills can be reduced to the limit.
If it were an ordinary foundation-building immortal clan, training a direct disciple in this way would definitely be very painful.
Ye Linyuan didn't care about these things. The Ye family had plenty of spiritual medicines, and Ye Linyuan didn't have that much energy to refine all of them. At this time, the value of a second-level alchemist was very high.
If Ye Xuanjin could have achieved a breakthrough twenty years earlier, he would have been able to bring at least one or two thousand more spirit stones in revenue to the Ye family every year. This investment would be very worthwhile.
After the three of them had completed the foundation-building stage, Ye Linyuan took them back to Yejia Island.
He first looked at Ye Xuanheng, and then directly threw a blueprint to Ye Xuanheng and said, "I don't have much energy to ask about the construction of the Star Tower. I will need you to be responsible for it in the long term in the future."
Ye Xuanheng nodded, he was actually prepared for this.
The construction of the Star Tower requires a permanent presence at the construction site. As a spirit plant husband and alchemist, Ye Linyuan also has to take care of his own cultivation. He is already too busy to handle it all, and it is impossible for him to be stationed at the construction site for a long time.
It is also because of this that the construction progress of the Star Tower has been very slow in recent years.
At this time, Ye Xuanheng took the blueprint, looked at it for a moment and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, clan leader, Xuanheng has successfully built his foundation, and can try to cast the second-level spirit building spell."
"This first Star Tower should be successfully built within seven years."
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan nodded, patted his shoulder to encourage him, and then returned to the cave to practice.
But this time, Ye Linyuan had not been in seclusion for long before he received the news he had been waiting for for many years.
"..."
"Friend Ye, long time no see."
Deep in the ocean, on an uninhabited reef, the old ghost Blood Soul looked at Ye Linyuan in front of him and couldn't help but smile.
Ye Linyuan did not answer, but stood there calmly, and asked calmly: "I don't think you came to me this time to reminisce about the past."
"Why are you so unfamiliar?"
The old ghost Xuehun smiled, and then said: "Remember I told you that year that I knew a rare treasure land, but it was extremely dangerous inside, and I wanted to cooperate with you."
"A rare treasure?"
Ye Linyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he waited quietly for the next words from the old ghost Xuehun.
The old ghost of Blood Soul nodded and said solemnly, "That is an ancient cave left by our ancestors. It should have belonged to a powerful person who was at the late Jindan stage or above."
"I discovered it by chance and wanted to go in and explore it, but I didn't expect the restrictions to be so strong. In the end, I was left with several blood puppets and even ended up being seriously injured."
Ye Linyuan's face changed slightly when he heard this. As a great master who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core in his previous life, he naturally understood how terrifying the cave dwellings left behind by the late Golden Core were.
If such a person were to set up an array, even if a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building were to go and explore, it would probably be very dangerous.
Knowing this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but frowned slightly, and then said: "If it is really the cave left by a senior in the late Jindan period, I'm afraid it is not something you and I can touch."
"That's why I'm asking for your help."
At this point, the old ghost Xuehun said solemnly: "Not only you, I also invited several other late foundation building masters."
"Oh?"
Ye Linyuan was slightly stunned and couldn't help showing a hint of surprise.
Seeing this, the old ghost Xuehun said, "I am proficient in the way of blood puppets and a second-level superior formation master. I can let the blood puppets explore the weaknesses of the formation. You have your own formation, so I think you are also good at formations."
"In addition, I also invited Taoist Tiancan, who is not only very powerful, but also a quasi-third-level formation master."
"Oh?" Ye Linyuan was surprised when he heard this, "You are still friends with Taoist Tiancan?"
"When the Blood Prison Secret Realm was opened, Liu Xuanheng, she, and I..."
The old ghost of Blood Soul spoke slowly. After mentioning a certain person, he was silent for a long time. Finally, he said with a dark look in his eyes: "The three of us have known each other since childhood. We explored the secret realm together and each of us obtained an extraordinary inheritance."
"She was favored by a master, and Fellow Daoist Tiancan has since become famous in the Tianxing Sea. I have ended up in a state where I am neither human nor ghost."
When the old ghost Xuehun said this, he was silent for a long time before he said, "Unfortunately, the Blood Prison Secret Realm opens once every hundred years or so."
When Ye Linyuan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He understood what the old ghost Xuehun meant.
The Blood Prison Secret Realm opens once every hundred years or so, and the three of them might not be the first to obtain the inheritance. In other words, the fate of at least some of them might have already been determined.
On the contrary, the inheritance of the old ghost Blood Soul is the most special. It seems that there is no similar magic golden elixir in this sea area.
"This time, the cave ruins may be our chance to change our fate."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and then asked: "If that's the case, why don't you work with Tiancan and that person to open the cave?"
The old ghost of Blood Soul shook his head, then sighed and said: "She...can't come out easily. Tiancan and I tried, but unfortunately we both failed."
"It's probably far from enough to crack the cave with only a quasi-third-level formation master and a second-level upper-grade formation master."
Ye Linyuan heard this and then said, "But if that's the case, even with me, it may not be enough. I know someone who may be able to help."
"What do you mean?" The old ghost Xuehun seemed to have thought of something when he heard this.
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said: "The Taoist Wuyun's attainments in formations rank among the top three among the independent cultivators in the Tianxing Sea."
The old ghost of Blood Soul nodded, and then said: "With Taoist Wu Yun, we have three second-level upper-grade formation masters and one quasi-third-level formation master. Our chances of breaking the formation are indeed much greater."
"Besides, we are all at least at the late stage of foundation building combat power or cultivation, so the probability of surviving in the end will be greatly improved."
At this point, the old ghost Xuehun said, "The Taoist Xuankui of your Ye family has a nine-headed foundation-building puppet in his hand, which is also very suitable for exploring the way and breaking the formation. You'd better take it over so that it can be useful when the time comes."
Ye Linyuan nodded, then said: "After the matter is completed, how should the treasures be distributed?"
"Let's make a contract and distribute the rewards according to the contribution and opportunities of each person." The old ghost of Blood Soul spoke, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "How about it?"
"can."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and reached a preliminary understanding with the old ghost Xuehun.
The two discussed the details for a while, and finally the old ghost Xuehun said, "I will contact Tiancan, and you will be in charge of communicating with Wuyun Taoist."
"How about we take action one year from now?"
Ye Linyuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "One year is enough time for me to make some preparations. Let's just settle this matter."
The old ghost of Blood Soul nodded, and finally warned: "The Golden Core Cave Mansion is a big deal, remember not to let others notice anything unusual, and don't tell your closest relatives about this matter."
"If it is really necessary to tell your closest Taoist partner, you need to ask her to swear an oath, and try not to reveal any key information."
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan nodded and made a contract with the old blood soul ghost.
After doing all this, Ye Linyuan bid farewell to the old ghost of Blood Soul and returned to Yejia Island.
After pondering for a moment, he called Shui Hanqing and told her that he would be away for a while.
Because he had promised the old ghost Xuehun, and the exploration of the Jindan Cave Mansion really needed to be kept secret, Ye Linyuan never told Shui Hanqing the purpose of this trip.
Then he left Yejia Island and headed for the Wuyun Islands where Taoist Wuyun was.
