Three-Thousand-Year-Old Earth Lotus Grass, a High-Grade Spirit Stone Vein
The stream began to surge, becoming noticeably more rapid than before.
With a larger volume of water, the fish inside also swim upstream against the current.
Some of them have black speckles and a deep color, while others are like pieces of yellow jade, which are quite beautiful.
Upon reaching the upstream area, a deep pool appeared.
All the fish went inside.
They swam freely inside, vying for the grains of spirit rice that fell from afar, imbued with the fragrance of the spirit.
"That's about it!" Just then, a voice rang out, and the pool began to shimmer with a dazzling spiritual light.
Then the deep pool suddenly began to rise into the air, and the fish inside reacted one by one.
This is no spirit pool at all; it's clearly a giant spirit bowl.
They tried to jump out of the spirit bowl, but it was too late. In the end, the spirit bowl shrank and fell into the hands of a cultivator.
This person was none other than Ye Jingcheng.
"Grandpa, Fourth Brother, one hundred and twenty Black Ganoderma Fish and two hundred Yellow Jade Fish!" Ye Jingcheng looked at the quantity and his eyes showed satisfaction.
In fact, there were more spirit fish than that, but due to time constraints, they couldn't delay too long.
One hundred and twenty Black Ganoderma Fish are more than enough for the Ye Family to raise and expand their population.
Although these spirit fish only grow to about a foot long, they can sell for hundreds of Spirit Stones, making them extremely valuable.
After all, its taste alone is its greatest value, as long as its reputation spreads.
The Yellow Jade Fish is much less impressive; it's only a mid-grade first-tier spirit fish, similar to the Red-Node Fish, though it looks nice.
However, the taste and value are quite different.
Holding them all can only improve the variety of the Ye Family's spiritual cuisine.
"Let's move on to the next Spirit Herb Garden!" Ye Haicheng nodded, his eyes also filled with joy.
The three continued flying for the better part of an hour before finally finding the third Spirit Herb Garden.
Upon arriving here, the group also saw the border, clearly indicating that the secret realm had reached its limit.
The Spiritual Qi in this Spirit Herb Garden is significantly weaker than the second one, but comparable to the first.
Seeing the level of Spiritual Qi, the three realized that this Spirit Herb Garden was probably similar to the first one.
Ye Jingyu attempted to break the formation again, but this time the Array remained intact.
He then spoke:
"This should be Spirit Herb Garden that nurtures Fourth Stage Earth Attribute spirit medicine!"
Clearly, he had already observed the Array of the Spirit Herb Garden. Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, a huge, vibrant Spirit Herb Garden appeared before the three of them.
The four outer areas contain spirit medicine representing the four elements of metal, water, wood, and fire, while the spirit medicine at the very center is a Fourth Stage earth lotus grass.
This earth lotus grass has extremely large leaves, resembling lotus flowers, but it is a spiritual herb. Moreover, it can be used to refine Fourth Stage Lotus Gold Pill, which can not only enhance the cultivation of Earth Attribute cultivators but also improve their physique. For Body Cultivator, it is Fourth Stage divine medicine.
"Three circles! This is a three-thousand-year-old spirit medicine!" Ye Jingcheng looked at the outline and number of leaves of the Earth Lotus Grass, his face full of joy.
Even ordinary spirit medicine have extremely high medicinal value after three thousand years, let alone this precious Fourth Stage spiritual herb.
"Fourth Brother, you continue copying the array!" Ye Jingcheng was not in a hurry to gather herbs.
While the Spirit Herb Garden is of great value, the Array Spirit Herb Garden within it are also quite valuable.
Currently, the only place the Ye Family occupies that has Fourth Stage Spirit Vein is the Yun Family's Skycloud Island.
Therefore, if all the methods for obtaining spiritual medicines with the Five Phases elements are gathered, the Ye Family will not have to worry about a lack of Spirit Vein even if they have Fourth Stage- or Fifth Stage spirit medicine in the future.
Ye Jingyu nodded; he was also very interested in Array.
After all, he had previously focused on defensive and offensive Array, and this kind of auxiliary, magical Array was his weakness.
If he can comprehend it now, it will greatly help his cultivation in the art of array formations.
Now that he is also at the Purple Mansion, his means of acquiring Spirit Stone have weakened.
If Array in formations is not high, it is easy for resources to not keep up with one's needs.
"This spirit seed technique is indeed different in attributes, and the array patterns are different too!" After more than an hour, Ye Jingyu finally spoke with a sigh, his eyes full of joy.
"If you master this Spirit Seed technique, Fourth Brother will have made an immense contribution!" Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but flatter him.
"With Fourth Uncle here, there's no place for me!" Ye Jingyu smiled slightly awkwardly.
Ye Xuefan a top-tier third-order Array. Before this, the other party had even used the Lineage Token to remind them to pay attention to this Array.
"Alright, let's harvest the spirit medicine. This time, the spirit medicine are growing even better than in the first Spirit Herb Garden!"
The three then began picking third-tier spirit medicine, gathering more than thirty more, almost enough to complete three or four rare Purple Mansion Pill Formula spirit medicine.
This also means that the Ye Family's next three-tier Pill Formula will all be rich in spirit medicine.
Each Purple Mansion has the potential to rapidly improve their cultivation level through elixirs.
This naturally includes Ye Jingcheng.
Furthermore, Ye Jingcheng also possesses the Gold Condensation Pill, which indicates that he only needs spiritual pills to elevate his cultivation to the peak of the Purple Mansion after breaking through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm.
Then you can begin your secluded cultivation to break through to the Golden Core stage.
The promise of a thousand years of lifespan through the Golden Elixir was incredibly tempting to Ye Jingcheng.
After collecting the spirit medicine, Ye Jingyu continued to set up new Array as usual, while Ye Jingcheng sowed some more seeds and infused the spiritual field with some Treasure Radiance.
The Ye Family can still come to this secret realm in the future, so there is no need to destroy this Spirit Herb Garden.
Ye Jingcheng even asked Ye Jingyu to adjust the Spirit Gathering Formation!
"Fourth Uncle and the others have finished exploring too!" At that moment, Ye Haicheng also spoke up.
Almost a day has passed.
It took much longer than the two days I had expected.
This is also related to the Ye Family's split-up approach and rapid harvesting.
Meanwhile, besides the dedicated Spirit Herb Garden, there were also some spirit medicine in some valleys and rivers, but Ye Jingcheng and his companions did not pick them.
"Fourth Uncle and the others explored four secret realms and only encountered one old locust Wood Demon. Fourth Uncle even asked you if you wanted the heartwood of a peak third-tier Wood Demon!" Ye Xuefan and his group chose a more distant direction and encountered four Spirit Herb Garden.
They encountered one more person than Ye Jingcheng and his two companions.
As for the third-tier peak Wood Demon, Ye Jingcheng naturally wanted the heartwood of the old locust tree even more.
For Peachwood Demon, Wood Demon spirits that promote longevity are of greater help.
After all, the direction is more correct.
I just don't know if the other side has a small locust Wood Demon.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng was more interested in some rare Wood Demon.
After all, in his view, if Wood Demon lands on Treasure Book, as long as it's not too old, it can advance quite a few times.
"There shouldn't be any more Spirit Herb Garden in the distance," Ye Haicheng said.
There was also a hint of disappointment in his eyes at that moment.
Of course, this disappointment quickly dissipated.
Their gains this time were enormous, far exceeding what could be measured in Spirit Stone.
A third-tier spirit medicine with a yield of one or two thousand years is worth far more than seven or eight thousand Spirit Stone.
After all, if you really go to the market, even the Taichang Market, you'll find very few third-tier spirit medicine that are over two thousand years old.
It can be said to be something that is valuable but unavailable.
This is why most Purple Mansion cultivators from the Purple Mansion Lineage experience a slowdown in their cultivation after breaking through to the Purple Mansion.
It's related to talent and resources.
Most of the resources in the small worlds and secret realms are controlled by sects. Other Lineage either have overlooked secret realms or venture deep into the Taihang Mountain Range.
Going to such a place carries a very high risk of death.
Ye Haicheng's sentiments stemmed from his growing addiction to exploring hidden realms.
For Body Cultivator, spirit medicine is even more necessary than for Qi cultivators.
If he makes good use of this gain, Ye Haicheng is confident that he can break through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion within the next thirty or forty years.
"No, there's another Array there!" Just then, Ye Jingyu suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Haicheng were both taken aback.
According to their senses, that was the border.
This borderland is somewhat similar to Ye Jingcheng's Grotto-Heaven.
That feeling of emptiness will come over you.
If Divine Sense were to enter, it would instantly vanish into nothingness and be annihilated in the void.
Only the Divine Sense of Nascent Soul Cultivator offers any hope of detecting void turbulence.
This is why only Nascent Soul Cultivator can set up Teleportation Arrays.
"There!" The compass in Ye Jingyu's hand lit up again, shooting out a beam of spiritual light.
Most cultivators who practice Array formations will refine compass Law Treasure.
Although this kind of Law Treasure is not considered a natal magic Law Treasure, it is the core of a cultivator's Array. Some are powerful in sensing Array, while others are powerful in breaking or setting up formations.
Ye Jingyu is clearly stronger in terms of perception.
"That Array is somewhat similar to the Array here. It must have been set up by one person, and it might be hiding a Spirit Herb Garden!" Ye Jingyu couldn't help but speculate with some excitement.
After all, this Array is located at the edge of the void and is concealed by Array, making it easy to overlook.
Even Ye Jingcheng, with his late-stage Purple Mansion Divine Sense, felt that place was nothingness at this moment.
The three of them stepped forward one after another.
This time, it was Ye Jingyu who broke through the formation once again.
Ye Jingcheng released all the Spirit Beast, ready to deal with any possible dangers at any time.
However, once the Array was broken, it seemed as if a piece had been forcibly squeezed into the void. Looking down at this secret realm from the sky, one would find that it was indeed somewhat abrupt.
After all, most secret realms have rules governing their space.
But this also means that this place is indeed secluded.
"This is... a high-grade Spirit Stone vein!" However, as the Array was broken, they felt the torrent of Spiritual Qi and the crystal-clear stones within the stone walls.
At this moment, all three of them were taken aback.
The Ye Family had Spirit Stone veins before; the Rogue Cultivator Old Man Xu had provided them with a first-tier Spirit Stone vein, albeit a small one.
Even that small mine provided the Ye Family with tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.
Moreover, if it weren't for the overexploitation, the Spirit Stone vein would have been even more valuable.
Even a small, high-grade Spirit Stone vein like the one before us is worth over ten million Spirit Stone.
"No wonder this secret realm can support the growth of so many spirit medicine without experiencing a shortage of Spiritual Qi. It turns out there is also a high-grade Spirit Stone mine!" Ye Jingcheng suddenly realized.
"A normal small-scale high-grade Spirit Stone vein can yield at least fifty high-grade Spirit Stone per year without damaging its foundation!" Ye Jingcheng said with great joy.
This means that Ye Family's Spirit Vein will receive an additional 500,000 Spirit Stone every year.
To put this into perspective, it's equivalent to the profits of twenty Taichang Market. You could say the Ye Family became rich overnight.
If mining is over-exploited, hundreds or even thousands of high-grade Spirit Stone could be lost.
This is the true foundation of the Ye Family's status as a Great Golden Core Lineage.
The three of them also stepped forward to investigate.
The walls of this high-grade Spirit Stone vein are extremely sturdy. In addition to high-grade Spirit Stone, there are also some mid- Spirit Stone and low-grade Spirit Stone.
Clearly, even high-grade Spirit Stone veins are not entirely composed of high-grade Spirit Stone.
"It should be a miniature mineral vein, but its value is at least in the tens of millions!" Ye Haicheng breathed a sigh of relief and said.
The Ye Family's gains this time have been enormous.
Upon seeing that it was a miniature high-grade Spirit Stone vein, the three of them felt somewhat relieved.
This kind of thinking is naturally abnormal.
However, the Ye Family had never owned a small-scale, mid-grade Spirit Stone mine before.
It only then did it begin to feel somewhat unreal.
"This Spirit Stone vein in this secret realm is enough for our Lineage to mine for nearly a hundred years!" Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingcheng were also full of smiles.
"The only problem is that the Ye Family's Lineage isn't here, so they can't defend this Heavenly Poison Marsh!" Ye Jingcheng added.
These mineral veins, located in hidden areas, are virtually undetectable, greatly increasing safety.
But considering its value, even inside the secret realm, Ye Jingcheng and the others couldn't help but think about it more.
The safest approach is to also establish some influence in Returning Goose Commandery.
However, as soon as the idea was proposed, the group rejected it one after another.
At present, this is simply not realistic.
Even if they used the Bone-Transforming Pill, it wouldn't work.
Unless they control a specific Purple Mansion faction.
Currently, the Zifu forces in Yanhui County include the Yan family's Xuanqing Gang, another Zifu family, and the Huayu Sect.
There is also one member of the Golden Core Lineage.
In the entire Returning Goose Commandery, the only families that could be corrupted by the Ye Family were the Dark Azure Gang Yan Family of the Xuanqing Gang and the Xun Family.
The Ye Family has already infiltrated the Xun Family; if they take further action, the Green River Sect is highly likely to intervene.
After all, this is considered a major taboo even among those Cultivation World, akin to Evil Cultivator.
The second method is for the Taiyi Sect to invade the territory of the Green River Sect, just as the Green River Sect took over Taiqing Commandery. However, the Ye Family, as the main force, occupies the area near the Heavenly Poison Marsh.
But that's even more of a fantasy.
The best and safest way is for the Ye Family to become Nascent Soul Aristocratic Clan. At that time, territory will be automatically allocated, and the Ye Family can take over this Pill Wasteland Secret Realm.
However, this will take a long time and involve waiting!
But for the Ye Family, having inherited the family tradition for so long, a little more time really doesn't matter.
"I'll send a telepathic message to my fourth great-uncle, let's send out the news first, and then we'll mine a portion to see how it goes. That would be safer!" Ye Haicheng said.
Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu naturally nodded in agreement.
In the future, the Ye Family will definitely need to leave people here to guard and cultivate in this Pill Wasteland Secret Realm.
Even Hidden Peak could be developed here.
This secret Xiao Ke large, and its Spiritual Qi is exceptionally rich.
Furthermore, the damaged Spirit Herb Garden can be used to raise Spirit Beast or spirit fish, since it also has a third-tier Spirit Vein.
"By the way, Fourth Brother, can you reproduce this hidden Array?" Ye Jingcheng continued to ask.
"Okay, that's the Mystic Void Spirit-Hiding Array. Once we've collected some, I'll rearrange the Array!" Ye Jingyu nodded in agreement.
