The soul-nourishing grass, like the soul-nourishing flower, is known as one of the three great elixirs of the soul together with the soul-nourishing fruit.
These three soul-nourishing elixirs have the same medicinal properties, and their function is to enhance the power of the soul. They also have a strong nourishing effect on the spirit of spiritual treasures.
Back then, Ye Linyuan obtained more than a hundred fourth-order soul-nourishing flower seeds from the Blood Soul Secret Realm. Later, after these soul-nourishing flowers were cultivated into spiritual medicines by Ye Linyuan, they were basically used to refine pills and given to the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag and Thunder Dragon Pillar for refining.
Today, with the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag being promoted to a mid-grade spiritual treasure and the Tiangang Thunder Dragon Pillar being promoted to a low-grade spiritual treasure, most of this batch of soul-nourishing elixirs have been consumed.
This time, Ye Linyuan bought three full bags of fourth-grade soul-nourishing grass seeds, which were estimated to be enough for the Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag spirit to be upgraded to the fourth-grade upper grade.
And the value of each of these three bags of seeds is probably equivalent to a top-grade spiritual treasure. That means Ye Linyuan, as a spiritual plant husband, is very wealthy, and even a True Lord in the late Nascent Soul stage would probably find it difficult to afford it.
This is also the reason why Canghai Mingyue consumes a lot of power. If this lineage wants to show extremely strong combat power, it needs a super large formation to support it. And the resources needed to cultivate a set of high-level spiritual treasures are destined to be rare in the world.
True Lord Yuanyue and Medicine King Nanling were both fourth-rank high-quality spiritual plant husbands. They had both practiced for more than five thousand years, but the former had only cultivated seven mid-Nascent Soul stage and one late-Nascent Soul stage North Sea Black Turtles.
However, the latter cultivated the six giants of Yaowang Valley, and his own cultivation also reached the state of Nascent Soul Great Perfection. It can be seen how huge the gap in resources and interests between the two sides is.
Although the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong is not as good as the top wood-attributed skills in cultivating spiritual plants, it is very likely that Zhen Jun Yuan Yue's spiritual plant skills are weaker than Nanling Yao Huang's, but the gap should not be so huge.
The fundamental reason is that True Lord Yuanyue used most of his resources to cultivate a set of top-grade spiritual treasure array equipment.
Of course, Ye Linyuan didn’t know that True Lord Yuanyue was a fourth-rank upper-grade spiritual plant husband, but he would still try his best to overestimate the other party’s strength and means.
After all, water-attributed techniques are second only to wood-attributed techniques in terms of the effectiveness of cultivating spiritual plants, so there is no reason for True Lord Yuanyue not to study the techniques of cultivating spiritual plants.
In addition to the soul-nourishing grass, the thunder soul fruit is also very extraordinary. It is a spiritual medicine with thunder attributes and is a treasure that has miraculous effects on cultivating the Tiangang Thunder Dragon Pillar.
However, the number of Thunder Soul Fruit seeds is very small, only a dozen or so, which is not enough to cultivate more than thirty Tiangang Thunder Dragon Pillars.
However, this is not a difficult task. Ye Linyuan only needs to cultivate a fourth-grade, top-quality Thunder Soul Fruit mother plant, and he will be able to produce fourth-grade, top-quality Thunder Soul Fruit continuously in the future.
"With the Soul-Nourishing Flower and the Thunder Soul Fruit, plus the Thunder Dragon Wood in my hands and various resource acquisition channels, it should only be a matter of time before the two sets of spiritual treasures are upgraded to high-grade spiritual treasures."
"However, the spiritual farm is not large enough. In the future, we need to prepare at least several dozen acres of top-quality spiritual farms to cultivate the spiritual medicines needed to upgrade these two sets of spiritual treasures."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then withdrew all thoughts, and saw the Nanling Medicine King walking down after completing the transaction with satisfaction.
This event was an exchange event exclusively for spiritual pharmacists, so even though Ye Linyuan's cultivation was insufficient and his reputation was not as great as that of the Nanling Alchemy Emperor, he still got the second qualification to go on stage.
After all, he is a fourth-grade, top-quality spiritual plant husband, and a very young fourth-grade, top-quality spiritual plant husband at that. To some extent, his future value may even surpass that of the Nanling Medicine King.
If he could become a fourth-rank super-grade spiritual plant husband, perhaps all the major ancient families would join forces to protect him and warn the supreme giant of the human race in the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world not to take action against him.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the value he brings to the major forces is greater than the price that the various factions pay to stop the supreme giant of the human race.
At this time, Ye Linyuan walked to the front desk, then calmly waved his sleeves and took out a batch of rare treasures and said: "My family assets are far less than those of Senior Yaohuang, so I will take out all these spiritual objects to show my ugliness."
Everyone didn't care at first, but after taking a look, they couldn't help but be surprised.
It has only been over 500 years since Ye Linyuan formed his infant, and it has only been in the last few decades at most since he broke through to the fourth-rank high-quality spiritual plant.
Originally, they thought that Ye Linyuan should not have many treasures in his hand, but the treasures that Ye Linyuan took out at this time were beyond their expectations.
These are more than a hundred fourth-grade elixir pills, including some fourth-grade mid-quality treasures and a large number of rare fourth-grade elixir species.
"I didn't expect that fellow Taoist could make pills?"
It was at this time that the Dan Emperor took a look at this batch of precious medicines and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then responded calmly: "I was born in a humble family, and I studied alchemy when I was young."
The Dan Emperor nodded and couldn't help but lose some interest in Ye Linyuan.
Originally, he regarded Ye Linyuan as a new partner, but if Ye Linyuan was also a high-level alchemist, he probably would not trade precious elixirs.
At least judging from the batch of fourth-grade mid-quality spiritual medicines that Ye Linyuan has shown now, Ye Linyuan is already a fourth-grade mid-quality alchemist.
However, having said that, the small amount of spiritual medicine that Ye Linyuan took out was still of some use to him. He directly traded a batch of rare treasures for a few fourth-grade medium-quality spiritual medicines from Ye Linyuan.
Seeing this, the other people present also began to exchange spiritual medicines and medicinal seeds from Ye Linyuan, which eventually increased the variety of spiritual medicines Ye Linyuan had.
"Seventy percent of the auxiliary ingredients for the Earth Soul Pill have been collected, and fifty percent of the auxiliary ingredients for the Heaven Soul Pill have been collected."
After completing the transaction, Ye Linyuan looked at the elixir in his hand and couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
He knew that being able to gather 70% of the auxiliary ingredients for the Earth Soul Pill this time was already close to the limit, because this was already the highest-level spiritual medicine conference in the Nanling cultivation world.
This opportunity comes once in a thousand years, so everyone present cherishes it very much. Since they couldn't gather all the spiritual medicinal seeds for the Earth Soul Pill this time, it was obvious that the remaining ones were basically very difficult to find.
If one wants to collect all the seeds for the auxiliary medicine of Earth Soul Pill, he will have to leave the Nanling Immortal Cultivation World and go to other large areas of the Haotian Ancient World in the future.
"Don't worry for now. Wait until I reach the late Nascent Soul stage, and then I will consider traveling around the world to look for various rare and precious medicines."
Putting this thought aside, Ye Linyuan returned to his seat.
Afterwards, the Yuanying Zhenjuns began to come on stage one by one, and many rare treasures appeared on the scene.
However, Ye Linyuan came on stage earlier and had basically traded for satisfactory items, so at the following spiritual medicine festival he only exchanged for a few rare medicinal species.
In this way, after about seven days, this barter conference was over in a hurry.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, please stay."
When the barter conference was over, Ye Linyuan was about to get up and leave, but suddenly he heard a voice calling.
Ye Linyuan was slightly startled, and when he turned around, he saw Nanling Medicine King looking at him with a smile, and said in a very warm voice: "Daoyou, can you talk to me?"
Ye Linyuan did not refuse, but followed the Nanling Medicine King to a pavilion.
But on the stone table in the pavilion, the Medicine King of Nanling extended his hand to invite Ye Linyuan to sit down. He then took a closer look at Ye Linyuan and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Ye is a handsome man. Would you mind marrying me?"
Ye Linyuan was slightly stunned, then he said: "I have a Taoist partner, and we have been in love for nearly a thousand years."
Nanling Medicine King was silent for a moment, but then he said, "My granddaughter Li Qingling is a few years older than you, but she is indeed a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, and she also has a unique talent in spiritual plant techniques."
"To be honest, I want to bring you two together."
Ye Linyuan frowned slightly, and he roughly realized that Li Qingling was the Qingling Fairy. He was about to speak but was interrupted by the Nanling Medicine King.
The Nanling Medicine King sighed, then smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I don't have much time left. For the chance of the golden age, I will seal myself and sleep after the Jiexu Forbidden Land is opened."
"With Qingling's methods, this Medicine King Valley may not be able to live in peace from now on."
"So I would like to invite you to take over Medicine King Valley. At that time, you two can jointly guard this place. This will be of great benefit to both of you."
Ye Linyuan finally understood that the Nanling Medicine Emperor wanted to use Medicine Emperor Valley as a price and invite Ye Linyuan to become the son-in-law of the Medicine Emperor Valley.
If it were an ordinary person, this would definitely be an excellent choice.
After all, once you agree, you will have a Taoist companion in the late Nascent Soul stage, and you will also get dozens of acres of top-quality spiritual fields, which is a rare good thing in the world.
You know, this is not an ordinary top-grade spiritual field, but a medicine garden that has been managed by a fourth-grade upper-grade spiritual plant husband for thousands of years. Most of the spiritual medicines in it are fourth-grade spiritual medicines, and there are even some fourth-grade mid-to-upper-grade semi-mature spiritual medicines.
Once they are able to control it, a fourth-grade top-quality spiritual plant cultivator will save thousands of years of effort, and their cultivation speed will definitely increase greatly in the future.
Of course, marrying into a wife's family also has disadvantages. First of all, as a wife's family, one cannot fully grasp the benefits of these fourth-grade high-quality spiritual fields.
Secondly, there are six giants in the Nanling Medicine Emperor Valley. Some of these giants are disciples of the Medicine Emperor, some are guests of the Medicine Emperor Valley, and some are fellow disciples of the Medicine Emperor.
The relationships between these people are complicated. If the person who marries into the wife's family cannot stabilize the situation, he or she may not be able to gain much.
For Ye Linyuan, it is naturally impossible for him to marry into the Yaohuang Valley. He now controls dozens of acres of top-grade spiritual fields.
Although he does not have that many spiritual medicines that have been cultivated for thousands of years, with his lifespan and the spiritual fields in the Xuanyuan Taoist Palace, he will sooner or later surpass the achievements of the Nanling Medicine King, and he does not need these dozens of acres of spiritual fields and semi-finished spiritual medicines at all.
Moreover, Ye Linyuan could see that Li Qingleng was probably not a virgin.
So after a moment of thought, Ye Linyuan decisively shook his head and said, "Senior, that's not necessary. My Taoist partner has supported me all the way to today, so there is no reason for me to marry again."
Upon hearing this, the Nanling Medicine King's expression changed slightly.
But after a moment, he sighed slightly and said, "Forget it, it seems that I have been presumptuous."
Having said this, the Nanling Medicine King said no more and had Ye Linyuan sent out of the Medicine King Valley.
Not long after Ye Linyuan left, a woman in a light blue dress came up, looked at Nanling Medicine Emperor calmly and said, "This person is only in the middle stage of Yuanying, is he really worthy of your attention?"
"Oh, you don't understand."
Nanling Medicine King shook his head and said with some regret: "This person practiced the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, and what's more rare is that he still preserved a pure Yang body."
"Do you know that when he practices the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, he accumulates a hundred times more pure Yang essence than an ordinary person?"
“Once he is able to cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage, his pure Yang origin power will probably be comparable to that of a pseudo-Heavenly Sovereign.”
“When you combine with him again, I’m afraid your cultivation will directly reach the realm of Nascent Soul Great Perfection, and even your hope of breaking through to the Half-Step Yuanshen in the future will be greatly increased.”
Speaking of this, the Nanling Medicine King shook his head repeatedly, revealing a look of regret.
Li Qingling's expression changed slightly when she heard this, but she still shook her head coldly and said, "That requires a breakthrough to the late Nascent Soul stage."
"With the supreme giant of the human race in the East Sea, unless he can become a fourth-level super-grade spiritual plant husband, breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage will be his death."
Nanling Medicine King pondered for a moment, then said calmly: "I originally wanted to trick him into breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage and handing over Yuan Yang to you, and then hand it over to the one in the East Sea to deal with it."
"Now that this matter has failed, it seems that we can only seek other methods."
"Don't worry, Grandpa will definitely find you a good husband before he falls asleep."
"..."
After Ye Linyuan calmly returned to Chixiazhou in Nanling, he began to calmly resume his life of cultivation.
During the time when he was practicing in seclusion, a big news came out in the Nanling cultivation world. It was said that the Nanling Medicine King was preparing to find a son-in-law for his granddaughter.
He requires that the son-in-law must be a genius in spiritual plant cultivation, and must be a spiritual plant cultivator who has risen from the grassroots. He promises to train this spiritual plant cultivator into a talented person.
If this son-in-law can break through to the fourth-rank high-quality spiritual plant husband, he is willing to hand over the entire Medicine Emperor Valley to his son-in-law.
In order to unearth hidden talents among the people, the Nanling Medicine King even paid a huge price and held a conference to select spiritual plant husbands.
Finally, after many years, they chose a Nascent Soul cultivator with an [Innate Wood Spirit Body] to cultivate.
This person's name is Zhang Daoyuan. It is said that he is extremely talented and has a natural affinity with all kinds of spiritual medicines. He is praised by the Emperor of Medicine as a spiritual plant genius that only appears once in a thousand years in the Nanling immortal cultivation world. He is even more talented than Li Qingling.
"Can marrying a genius of spiritual plants really stabilize the situation in Medicine King Valley?"
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then calmly withdrew the thought.
No matter what Nanling Medicine King's plan was, it had nothing to do with him. With his current identity and status, as long as they were not stupid enough to get involved personally, there were not many people in the world who could plot against him.
After retracting this thought, Ye Linyuan took care of the spiritual medicine garden again, and then picked a sword fruit that had exhausted its potential.
"This is already the third fourth-level middle-grade Sword Intention Fruit. Unfortunately, there is only one that has the potential to be a fourth-level upper-grade one."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart and couldn't help showing a look of emotion.
He had quite a few sword fruit seedlings in his hands, but most of them could only reach the fourth-grade mid-level potential, which was not of much use to Ye Linyuan in comprehending the Wanhua Sword Art.
"The potential of these Sword Intent Fruit seeds is limited. If you want to cultivate a fourth-level rare Sword Intent Fruit, you have to consume a batch of Xuantian Spiritual Liquid."
Ye Linyuan was thinking about it, but he was not in a hurry to consume the Xuantian Spirit Liquid.
The fourth-order rare sword intent is indeed a qualitative change, and perhaps it can help Ye Linyuan cultivate the pure yang level of the Wanhua Sword Art as soon as possible.
But there is no rush. If he wants to cultivate the Pure Yang level of the Wanhua Sword Art, he will probably have to break through the late Nascent Soul stage before he is qualified.
At this time, Ye Linyuan picked up the sword intent fruit and refined it, constantly using the power of the sword intent in it to comprehend the magical powers of the sword.
About a year later, Ye Linyuan had mastered the "Xuan Yue Sword Art" to the fourth-level intermediate level.
In addition to the "Xi Ri Sword Technique" he cultivated with a sword fruit a few years ago, he has mastered two fourth-level mid-grade killing sword techniques.
"Of the ten volumes of Great Divine Sword Art, I have already cultivated two volumes to the fourth-order intermediate grade, and the power of the Myriad Transformations Sword Art has increased a little bit again."
"With our current spiritual planting skills and spiritual field size, it won't be a problem for us to obtain eight fourth-grade middle-quality sword fruit within sixty years."
"When the Jiexu Forbidden Land is opened, I'm afraid that the combat power of my Wanhua Sword Art will be able to increase to a greater level."
Ye Linyuan was calculating in his mind. He estimated that once he had cultivated all the ten sword techniques to the minor success realm, his attack power would be comparable to that of a Golden Infant.
Coupled with his Xuanyuan Zhenhai Flag, whose defense is comparable to that of the Nascent Soul Great Perfection, Ye Linyuan's overall strength is probably directly among the top giants in the world, and perhaps he can be regarded as half a supreme giant.
Of course, this is only comparable to the blank slate of Nascent Soul Great Perfection. In this era, those who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul Great Perfection basically have extraordinary qualities.
Many supreme giants at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection level can even burst out with power comparable to that of a Half-Step Nascent Soul.
Even among the supreme giants in the Nanling immortal cultivation world, the relatively low-ranked four-clawed golden dragon Ao Xuan was nearly invincible in the same level in ancient times.
Because the four-clawed golden dragon is the best among the true spirits of the upper heaven and earth. In ancient times, such beings were at least in the middle stage of the Yuanshen, and there was a high probability that they would break through to the late stage of the Yuanshen, which was the top qualification.
In ancient times, such aptitude would make him nearly invincible at the Nascent Soul stage. An ordinary Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator could at least fight two enemies at once.
"In this era, there are no weak supreme giants. In the ancient times, each of them would be a top-notch Nascent Soul Great Perfection who could fight two or even three at the same level."
“Not to mention, there are also the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor and the Golden Crow Emperor, who are the invincible Pure Yang magical powers in this realm. Their combat power is almost comparable to that of the Half-Step Yuanshen of this era.”
"In the ancient times, these were all guaranteed to reach the Great Perfection of the Yuanshen, and they were expected to be the supreme seeds of the realm of refining emptiness."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly in his heart, suppressing the pride in his heart.
He knew very well in his heart that being able to fight across levels was not his exclusive privilege. Not to mention Young Master Xuanyang and Ye Changfeng, for example, they were definitely able to defeat those in the late Nascent Soul stage in their middle Nascent Soul stage.
Even Ye Chongyun, who had switched to practicing the Great Desolation Sacred Art, had shown signs of reaching the late Nascent Soul stage as his cultivation level gradually improved.
If nothing unexpected happens, as the Taihuang Qi he controls becomes stronger and stronger, Ye Chongyun should be able to defeat a giant in the late Nascent Soul stage when he enters the second half of the middle Nascent Soul stage.
"Fortunately, after refining the Black Gold Sword Embryo, my strength should be able to gradually step into the strong stage."
Just as Ye Linyuan was pondering in his heart, he suddenly felt a strange movement in his dantian.
But from the Wanhua Immortal Furnace, a black-robed figure walked out and appeared in front of Ye Linyuan.
"This deity."
The Sky Devouring Demon Lord spoke slowly, with a glimmer of darkness in his eyes. Compared to a few years ago, the Sky Devouring Demon Lord looked quite different. Back then, he was full of evil spirit, with an extremely turbid aura and an incredibly strong oppressive force.
Today, the Sky-Devouring Demon Lord is in one with all his energy, and all his aura has been restrained, making people feel as comfortable as if bathed in the spring breeze.
Ye Linyuan knew very well that this was because the Sky-Devouring Demon Lord had completely taken control of his own turbid energy and had complete control over his own strength.
"It seems that you have completely consolidated your cultivation." Ye Linyuan said calmly, and then heaved a sigh of relief and said: "Your strength is unexpectedly strong. It seems that you are already comparable to the old giants."
The Sky-Devouring Demon Lord nodded, and then he stretched out his hand while waving his sleeves.
But in his palm, there were countless sword energies, including the Xuan Yue Sword Technique, the Xi Ri Sword Technique, the Cang Xu Sword Technique, the Ren Wang Sword Technique and many other sword techniques.
These sword techniques eventually condensed into an ancient sword, and finally transformed into a Heaven-Devouring Demon Blade.
"I use the turbid energy to activate the Wanhua Sword Art, and then use the sword to transform into a knife to condense this magic blade. The power of the Wanhua Sword Art will be reduced by about 20%."
The Sky Devouring Demon Lord spoke calmly, and then said calmly: "But wait a few decades, when I create the Myriad Sword Technique based on the Myriad Sword Technique, I will be able to completely solve this problem."
Ye Linyuan nodded. Whether it was a sword or a knife, they were just the appearance of the Wanhua Sword Art.
The real mystery of the Wanhua Sword Art lies in its ability to embrace all rivers and seas, and its ever-changing magic. Naturally, it will not be confined to the distinction between swords, spears, swords, and halberds.
The reason why Ye Linyuan only practiced sword techniques was because his energy was limited and he wanted to avoid being distracted too much.
However, what Ye Linyuan seeks is the wonder of all the ways. In the future, he will definitely create the Ten Thousand Daos Heavenly Arts based on the Wanhua Sword Art, and he will definitely choose other types of skills and magical powers.
Now, it is also a good attempt to let the Devouring Demon Lord create a new Wanhua Sword Technique based on the Wanhua Sword Technique.
Swords and knives are both weapons and are very similar to each other. It is not too difficult to create knife techniques based on sword techniques.
"The domineering power of turbid energy is indeed more in line with the powerful and domineering swordsmanship."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, with a clear and ethereal aura, and the sword energy he activated was naturally elegant and unparalleled in its killing power.
The turbid spiritual energy is powerful and domineering, and it will definitely make the sword skills more compatible and will be able to unleash greater power.
"Using turbid spiritual energy to wield the sword, perhaps one day, the world's strongest sword technique will be born from my hands."
The Sky Devouring Demon Lord smiled, then put away the Sky Devouring Demon Blade and said calmly, "You said before that you wanted me to do something, so you must want me to capture a pure-blooded white tiger for you."
Ye Linyuan nodded, and then said carefully: "It is not difficult to capture a pure-blooded white tiger, but the White Tiger Twin Saints are both giants with amazing combat power. Together they can even fight against a Yuanying Great Perfection."
"In order to prevent the White Tiger Saints from coming to me, I need to not take action myself, so you are the most suitable person to take action."
"Well, as long as we don't face the White Tiger Saints directly, it shouldn't be difficult to take down a pure-blooded white tiger in a surprise attack."
The Sky Devouring Demon Lord nodded, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Give me the Black Turtle Armor. As long as they are alone, I can capture them."
Ye Linyuan nodded and handed the Black Turtle Armor and half of the broken black knife to the Sky-Devouring Demon Lord.
Then he looked solemnly at the black blade with fear and said, "Ye Yingxu has been exploring ancient ruins all these years, and I don't know how many ancient treasures he has found."
"The material of this broken black blade is almost immortal, but it contains the ultimate devouring power. It should be the fragment of the pure Yin magic weapon used by the creatures outside the domain in the black tide."
"I have studied this treasure for many years and found that it has the ability to devour its master. It is not something that orthodox cultivators like us who cultivate pure spiritual energy can control."
The Sky-Devouring Demon Lord took the pitch-black broken blade and immediately felt a cold and evil aura coming towards him. He immediately and decisively urged his turbid magic power to merge with it.
In an instant, this half of the broken blade suddenly burst out with a terrifying murderous aura, and actually revealed an ultimate sharp edge that could kill immortals and gods.
"Such a strong turbid energy. This must be made from the most turbid things in the world."
The Sky-Devouring Demon Lord spoke in surprise, and even revealed a hint of surprise.
He had a feeling that the power of this broken blade in his hand was probably enough to rival that of a top-grade spiritual treasure.
But a moment later, the Sky Devouring Demon Lord stopped smiling, and suddenly looked at Ye Linyuan meaningfully and said, "If such a turbid army is really related to the Black Tide, I'm afraid their power is far more terrifying than we expected."
Ye Linyuan did not speak. There are two kinds of air in heaven and earth, clear and turbid. The clearest air is spiritual energy, and the most turbid air is turbid air.
These two energies are formed by the differentiation of yin and yang. When combined, they become the original energy of heaven and earth, and when dispersed, they become clear and turbid energy. They represent the two extreme forces between heaven and earth.
In other words, every time people absorb a bit of spiritual energy, a bit of turbid air will appear between heaven and earth.
Creatures that absorb foul air will degenerate into demons, evil spirits, and other extremely evil beings without any intelligence.
The most terrifying thing is that as long as the person who absorbs the spiritual energy does not die, the clear and turbid energy cannot be combined into one, and the turbid energy will always exist, even if you kill all the demons, evil spirits and vicious spirits.
But before long, there will still be demons, evil spirits, and vicious spirits that are born continuously, because the source of their power is there, and you will never be able to kill all of these vicious spirits.
Under such circumstances, the war can never stop. This is the war between the yin and yang energies of heaven and earth, and it is also an eternal and unchanging rule in the human world.
"Is this the reason why the legendary black tide came about?"
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, with a hint of fear in his pupils.
What terrified him the most was that this broken weapon was made of extremely turbid matter, which meant that the creatures born from turbid air were not completely without intelligence, at least high-level turbid air creatures might have intelligence.
They may very well be extremely intelligent, cunning, insidious, but also extremely powerful demons who love killing.
This is destined, because pure spiritual energy nourishes the nature, and people yearn for the free and endless sky. People who absorb pure spiritual energy like to live forever under the influence of the spiritual energy.
The turbid spiritual energy sinks into the underworld, never seeing the light of day all year round. Those creatures sink into the abyss and purgatory. They yearn for killing and war, and have an innate desire for erosion, which in itself is an extreme contradiction.
Not to mention others, just the Sky-Devouring Demon Lord, his magic power is extremely overbearing and corrosive.
If Ye Linyuan had not used the pure spiritual energy and the power of moonlight to cleanse his soul day and night, the Sky-Devouring Demon Lord would sooner or later have turned into a vicious demon lord who enjoyed erosion and killing.
"If the Black Tide is really a battle between the Clear and the Turbid, I'm afraid the situation is very bad."
Ye Linyuan sighed slightly in his heart. People who cultivate pure spiritual energy are more intelligent and are extremely good at studying the various arts of cultivation. As a result, the world of immortal cultivation has become more prosperous.
However, those who cultivate the most turbid energy often possess greater combat power.
Even among the pure spiritual energy, the most powerful golden spiritual energy is one level lower in quality than the turbid air. Naturally, the combat power of the two sides is not on the same level.
If we say that a ghost cultivator only cultivates his spirit, soul and yin energy, he is one level weaker than a cultivator because he does not have a physical body to fight.
Then the combat power of the turbid cultivator who cultivates the most turbid energy will be one small realm stronger than that of the cultivator of the same level who cultivates the pure spiritual energy.
This is probably the same as with the Sky-Devouring Demon Lord, a turbid cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage has combat power roughly comparable to an ordinary middle Nascent Soul stage, and a turbid cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage can be comparable to an ordinary late Nascent Soul stage.
Even though the human race is more prosperous in the arts of cultivation and can make up for some of the gap through various treasures, in the face of more powerful magic quality, they are naturally one small realm lower than others, and this gap is still too big.
After all, cultivators who can fight across levels are always a minority no matter what era.
“No wonder the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm was completely defeated back then. If the existence behind the Black Tide was really a Turbid Cultivator of the same level, there would have been almost no hope of winning the war back then.”
"It is a miracle that the ancient sages were able to achieve today's peace through the war against the sky."
Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, then looked at the Sky Devouring Demon Lord and said, "If the Black Tide is really caused by this, our opponents may be even more terrifying than expected."
"Not only the human world, I'm afraid the immortal world will also be troubled by the black tide."
The Sky-Devouring Demon Lord nodded. After all, from the information they had, the scattered immortals, true immortals, and celestial immortals all cultivated pure energy.
The so-called immortal energy, its full name is immortal spirit energy, which is just a higher level of pure and spiritual energy.
"The yin and yang of the heaven and earth's vital energy are divided, and then they are united in war, and this cycle repeats over and over again. Perhaps this is the law of the cycle of heaven and earth."
The Sky-Devouring Demon Lord spoke slowly, then stood up with the broken black blade.
But he stroked the black blade and said calmly: "With this in hand, you can wait for my good news."
Ye Linyuan looked at Hei Ren and nodded.
Unlike spiritual treasures, magic treasures made of turbid air cannot give birth to spirit weapons, but they have extreme killing patterns.
These array patterns can amplify the power of all kinds of foul and evil spirits, and then burst out with ultimate destructive power.
So even though this magic treasure is broken, but in the hands of the most turbid creature like the Sky-Devouring Demon Lord, its power may not be weaker than that of a top-grade spiritual treasure.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan didn't say much, but just watched the Sky-Devouring Demon Lord leave.
After the Sky-Devouring Demon Lord left, Ye Linyuan lowered his eyes and went into seclusion again.
"That foreign magic blade seems to have been refined by your clan leader."
At this moment, in a secret place far away in the depths of the Nanling Immortal Cultivation World, Ye Yingxu suddenly heard a surprised voice.
Ye Yingxu was slightly stunned, and quickly put his spiritual thoughts into his sea of consciousness.
But in the deep sea, he saw an ancient compass slowly rising and falling.
Compared to the half-broken compass that was first seen hundreds of years ago, this compass has now been restored to its original state, with only a few cracks remaining that have not yet been fully restored.
Over the years, Ye Yingxu has explored more than hundreds of ruins with the power of the Immortal Eyes.
These ruins vary in size, some are at the Jindan level, some are at the Yuanying level, and there are even some damaged caves left behind by Yuanshen Tianjun.
Among these ruins, Ye Yingxu found more than thousands or tens of thousands of treasures. Although most of them have been lost over the years, there are still a large number of rare treasures that are rarely seen in the world.
Relying on these treasures and materials, Ye Yingxu has basically repaired the main body of the compass. Now only these cracks remain that cannot be completely repaired.
According to Luo Pan himself, one only needs to find an ancient treasure - "Xuantian Origin" or "Heaven and Earth Source" to completely repair this pure yang spiritual treasure and even restore most of its power.
Hearing Ye Yingxu's surprise, Ye Yingxu couldn't help but said in surprise: "That broken black blade, didn't you say that cultivators like me can't refine it?"
“That’s true, but it’s not absolute.”
Luo Pan spoke slowly, and then hesitantly said: "I always feel that the coming of your clan leader seems to be very unusual."
"Not only has his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds over the years, but now he has even been able to refine that foreign magic weapon. This is probably not something an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator can do."
Ye Yingxu was silent for a moment, then said: "The clan leader can refine the foreign magic weapon. Should we invite the clan leader to explore the ruins again?"
“No.” Luo Pan refused repeatedly and said with great fear: “The ruins were left by a powerful person from an ancient foreign land. Last time we almost lost half our lives just by entering the outer periphery. If we go deeper, we will probably die without a burial place.”
"In my opinion, without the strength of a pseudo-Heavenly Lord, going deeper would be no different from seeking death."
Seeing this, Ye Yingxu could only remain silent.
He pondered for a moment, then asked, "We have searched dozens of ruins over the years, but we haven't found the Xuantian Origin and Tiandi Yuanjing you want. Could it be that these two treasures have become extinct in the world?"
Luo Pan smiled bitterly, and then said helplessly: "The Xuantian Origin can only be bred by the Xuantian Spiritual Root. Its value is second only to the fruit of the Xuantian Spiritual Root. It is a fifth-level True Spirit Wonder."
"The Heaven and Earth Essence is the first of the nine main ingredients of the Heavenly Soul Pill, and contains a trace of the power of the origin of heaven and earth. Even a fifth-level spiritual plant husband cannot cultivate these two treasures. Do you think they are all cabbages?"
At this point, Luo Pan pondered for a moment before speaking: "Your Ye family has a first-order Xuantian spiritual root rhizome. If it is planted in the Sun Dao soil, it can barely continue to take root and sprout, and then breed a little Xuantian origin."
"It's just that the speed is too slow. Relying only on the heaven and earth energy provided by the fourth-level spirit vein, it will probably take at least three thousand years to breed a complete Xuantian origin."
At this point, Luo Pan shook his head and said, "However, Xuantian Origin is a universal wonder. It can be used to replace the Heaven and Earth Original Essence as the first main ingredient of the Heavenly Soul Pill."
"Your family leader is very ambitious. If he can really breed the Xuantian Origin, he will definitely not use it to repair my broken body."
At this point, Luo Pan actually showed a hint of sobs.
Seeing this, Ye Yingxu finally couldn't help but said, "If that day ever comes, I will definitely ask the clan leader to help you repair it."
"Really?"
Luo Pan immediately stopped sobbing and showed a look of surprise.
Ye Yingxu stopped talking when he heard this. He suspected that Luo Pan was lying to him.
Seeing this, Luo Pan sneered and said, "You idiot, if your Ye family gathers all the spiritual medicines and refines the Heavenly Soul Pill to ascend to the Yuanshen Daojun, are you still afraid that you can't repair a Pure Yang spiritual treasure?"
Ye Yingxu: “…”
"..."
The Sky-Devouring Demon Lord did not let Ye Linyuan wait too long. Only half a month later, he took advantage of the opportunity when the White Tiger Clan participated in the war in the Western Regions and launched a sneak attack on a pure-blooded white tiger in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
This battle took only one move from beginning to end. The Sky-Devouring Demon Lord used divination to calculate the location where the opponent would pass, and then used the Black Turtle Breath-Concealing Technique and the Black Turtle Armor to ambush the opponent on the road he had to pass.
Finally, Sky-Devouring Demon Lord suddenly exploded at close range and completely killed the pure-blooded white tiger with just one move.
The death of this white tiger also caused a major earthquake in the entire Western Regions and Wan Yao Mountain, because the opponent's background was too powerful.
There are many White Tigers in the entire Wan Yao Mountain, and many of them have broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, but the vast majority of them are White Tigers with impure blood.
A true pure-blooded white tiger is a true spirit of the higher heaven and earth. In this era, there is a high probability that it is in the late Nascent Soul stage.
In the White Tiger clan, there are only four pure-blooded white tigers, two of which are the Twin White Tiger Saints, and the remaining two are the offspring of these two white tigers.
You know, it is difficult for the White Tiger clan to conceive offspring. It took them thousands of years to have two pure-blooded offspring.
If nothing unexpected happens, these two pure-blooded white tigers will most likely be able to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage in the future. The only reason they failed to break through is because they have been practicing for too short a time.
This time, the one killed by the Sky-Devouring Demon Lord was the youngest of his three offspring, but his cultivation was still as high as the middle Nascent Soul stage.
Moreover, the White Tiger clan is invincible in combat power. The cultivation of a young White Tiger has only recently entered the middle Nascent Soul stage, but its combat power is almost comparable to that of a top-level middle Nascent Soul stage.
It was beyond everyone's expectation that such a top-notch White Tiger in the middle Nascent Soul stage was killed by a single blow from a powerful enemy.
At first, the two White Tiger Saints thought that it was Xuanyin Blessed Land that took action, so they went to Xuanyin Blessed Land to fight a battle.
As a last resort, Xuanyin Blessed Land invited a fourth-rank top-grade astronomical master to make on-site calculations, and finally concluded that the person who took action was a cultivator who was good at Yin Sha Qi, and was very likely a relic of a true spirit of heaven and earth such as Teng Snake.
Of course, because the bodies were taken away, it was difficult for the Tianji Master to figure out who the attacker was, and he could only conclude that it was not one of the existing giants in Chixiazhou.
But how could the two White Tiger Saints tolerate this? They launched another war, plunging the Western Region into a bitter battle once again.
However, the person who actually did it was not suspected by anyone.
Because Ye Linyuan had been practicing in Chilong Mountain from beginning to end, he had a perfect alibi, and the means and strength of the person who took action were very different from the magical power of Canghai Mingyue Gong.
"I am lucky to have accomplished my mission."
Just as there was a violent storm outside, the Sky-Devouring Demon Lord threw his corpse to Ye Linyuan.
Then he looked at Ye Linyuan, and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "With the original Dao pattern of the pure-blooded white tiger, it shouldn't be a problem for you to cultivate into a true four-spiritual body, right?" (End of this chapter)
