The Thousand-Year Limit
While the Divine Craftsman craftsmen Tie Futu and Lou Gao were moved by Ling Yi's gift, Ling Yi had already put aside his research on these external objects, thousands of miles away in the Water Wood Duchy.
Both the "Soul Storage Crystal" and the "Heavy Dark Steel" were merely byproducts of his research into various methods to enhance his strength.
Unlike Gengxin City, which is located in the south of the continent and has a hot climate, the Water Wood Duchy is located in the northeast of the Douluo Continent. Because it is close to the sea, its climate has always been relatively livable.
Except for those few months each winter, and the area near the northern part of the mainland called "Cold Wind City".
Blue Silver Territory, Mountain Sea Estate.
Because of Ling Yi's return, the development of the entire territory can be described as rapid and dramatic. Now, more than half a year has passed, and anyone who comes here and sees the neat and uniform village houses, farmland, orchards, waterways, ponds... as well as the harvest that has increased many times over, will exclaim in disbelief.
As a result, every resident of the territory has become more vibrant and energetic, just like the "Blue Silver Grass" that can be seen everywhere, full of Abundant Vitality!
In the Blue Silver Territory, the "Blue Silver Grass Blue Silver Grass" has become a spiritual symbol, and everyone compares themselves to it. Although born weak and humble, it possesses a restrained vitality, extremely strong adaptability, and an indomitable spirit that is unafraid of external hardships!
Inside Ling Yi's secluded courtyard.
Since announcing his rule of no unauthorized entry to his courtyard six months ago, the "Blue Silver Grass" in the courtyard has undergone extraordinary changes under Ling Yi's cultivation.
The "Blue Silver Grass," which is barely taller than an average person's ankle in the outside world, grows to at least the height of a person's calf here, and some even reach the height of a person's knee and thigh!
Of course, this courtyard, which is over a thousand square meters in size, is not only planted with "Blue Silver Grass".
As you can see, many different kinds of trees, artificial hills, and metal weapon racks have been transplanted to all four sides of the courtyard.
In the southeast corner, a small pond of more than ten square meters was dug, where lotus flowers were in full bloom.
At the bottom of the small pond, there are two clay pipes, each with an opening diameter of about several tens of centimeters, one for inlet and one for outlet, keeping the water inside constantly Life.
In the other southwest, northwest, northeast and other directions, there are trees such as "Iron Birch Tree", "Fire-Patterned Parasol Tree", "Drunken Peach Tree", and "Golden Thread Jujube Tree" that are three to five meters tall.
These various Soul Power trees, each bearing a slight bias towards one of the five elements, were all dug up and transplanted by Ling Yi from the five primary Soul Hunting Forest of the [Water Wood Duchy] through the connections he made during his previous medical training.
In terms of the style and layout of this residence, only the palace with a 280-year-old Mu Jin tree in the entire Water Wood Duchy can surpass Ling Yi's place.
It's not that those marquises and Earl couldn't make such arrangements, but rather that they were unwilling to waste such effort!
It's important to know that outside the Soul Beast Forest, not every place can meet the growth conditions of these Soul Power plants.
After transplanting, it may take a hundred years for these Soul Power plants to grow to the required ten years. In some cases, they may even wither or die, making it a typical case of putting in a lot of effort for little reward.
The formation of the Soul Beast Forest is, in a sense, highly dependent on its geographical location.
Only when the energy of heaven and earth gathers in a certain place and becomes more active can a place be gradually formed that is favored by Soul Beast and where they can live for a long time.
Similarly, only in such an environment can those Soul Power plants, which are inherently slow-growing, grow normally.
The old forest north of Mountain Sea Village used to be a place where the energy of heaven and earth was relatively active, but it was far too weak compared to the Soul Beast Forest.
Even so, it is still several levels higher than other places outside!
In particular, the location where the original three-hundred-year-old "Iron Birch Tree" grew was even close to the level of heaven and earth energy in the outer area of Soul Beast Forest.
But at this moment, the concentration of heaven and earth energy in Ling Yi's courtyard is already approaching the level of the outer area of Soul Beast Forest!
This is also why Ling Yi suddenly announced half a year ago that his courtyard was off-limits to unauthorized entry.
For this reason, Ling Yi even transferred Ah Huang, who was originally guarding the large warehouse, to this place, leaving only Meow Meow to remain in the large warehouse to guard the "Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Diagram" inside and the "Weapon Graveyard" underground.
The blazing sun from the heavens cast its light upon the Life, passing through the skylight in Ling Yi's bedroom and directly onto the various, yet equally enormous, "Blue Silver Grass."
"Blue Silver Grass"*9, "Vitality Blue Silver Grass"*1, "Iron Birch Blue Silver Grass"*1+5, "Agarwood Blue Silver Grass"*4, "Female Ivy Blue Silver Grass"*1+9...
These are all "Blue Silver Grass" that are over a hundred years old!
The original state of "Blue Silver Grass" includes the earliest cultivated varieties, as well as those that have broken free of constraints and boundaries in recent years.
"Vitality Blue Silver Grass" comes from the seed left behind by the Blue Silver Grass that sacrificed itself for Ling Yi's First Soul Ring. Its vitality is seven or eight times that of ordinary Blue Silver Grass of the same age and level!
The following "Iron Birch Silver Grass", "Agarwood Blue Silver Grass", and "Wild Ivy Blue Silver Grass" are, as their names suggest, planted with "Iron Birch Tree", "Agarwood", and "Maiden Luo Grass" respectively as fertilizer to nourish the "Blue Silver Grass" for growth. In this process, the plant subtly absorbs certain characteristics of these plants.
There are a total of thirty "Blue Silver Grass" plants, some original and some mutated. The oldest is over five hundred years old, while the two original "Blue Silver Grass" plants, one "Vitality Blue Silver Grass" plant, and one "Iron Birch Blue Silver Grass" plant are all over nine hundred and ninety-nine years old!
Unfortunately, facing the millennium-level barrier, no other Martial Soul has yet been able to break through the limit and reach the millennium age limit like Ling Yi's.
Fortunately, Ling Yi was not in a hurry. He was only sixteen years old, and there were still six months until his seventeenth birthday.
His Soul Power had only recently broken through to level 26.
Ling Yi is confident that he can raise his Soul Power to level 30 before he turns eighteen!
At that time, with just one thousand-year-level Soul Ring, his strength will be able to catch up with the outstanding students, or even genius students, in the advanced Soul Master Academy of the Douluo Continent!
In the original timeline, Jiang Zhu, a substitute member of the Shrek Seven Devils in the "All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition", was a genius student painstakingly cultivated by Liu Erlong, the former dean of the Blue Tyrant Academy.
Martial Soul: "Healing Scepter", Soul Ring Configuration: Yellow, Yellow, Purple!
At the start of the competition, she was in her early twenties, a level 35 Healing System Tool Soul Elder!
And Ling Yi, it won't be long before he becomes such a genius Soul Master!
Of course, before that, Ling Yi still needs to find a way to ensure that at least one of his many "Blue Silver Grass" breaks through the thousand-year level.
Fortunately, we already have a direction.
