Upgrade: Powerful Spiritual Effects
Li Yunjing currently has no plans to establish any third or fourth elders.
Currently, the only elders whose names begin with a number are Mo Xuan and Shui Yao.
Mo Xuan is the chief elder and also the grand elder.
Shui Yao is the Second Elder and also the Treasurer.
Gu Lin and Ding Qifeng joined the Luozhen Sect one after the other.
Logically, it should be the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder.
However, their cultivation levels were much higher than Mo Xuan's and Shui Yao's.
Normally, Ding Qifeng and Gu Lin should be the candidates for the First Elder or the Second Elder.
However, Mo Xuan and Shui Yao are Li Yunjing's junior brother and junior sister.
The two were direct descendants of the Luozhen Sect.
Naturally, they should occupy the positions of the First Elder and the Second Elder.
Ding Qifeng and Gu Lin joined the Luozhen Sect later in life, after all.
It is inappropriate for them to become the First Elder and Second Elder right away.
Even if Li Yunjing were willing, Mo Xuan and Shui Yao would still harbor resentment.
Moreover, given the feud between Gu Lin and Ding Qifeng...
Becoming the Grand Elder is a headache for anyone.
The two will definitely argue fiercely over this.
Therefore, Li Yunjing simply did not appoint any third or fourth elders.
Instead, they are referred to by the techniques they excel at.
In this way, the influence of the difference in social status between the two people can be easily eliminated.
At least that's how it is in terms of how it's addressed.
After listening, Ding Qifeng nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, that's settled then."
Then, Ding Qifeng turned and left.
Now that he has become an elder of the Luozhen Sect, Ding Qifeng can rightfully use that medicinal garden.
He has quite a few spirit medicine that he can plant in that herb garden.
Li Yunjing was very pleased with Ding Qifeng's joining the company.
At least from now on, the disciples of the Luozhen Sect will no longer need to worry about the elixirs they use for cultivation.
With Ding Qifeng around, the disciples of the Luozhen Sect could probably cultivate by consuming elixirs every day.
Li Yunjing planned to announce this on New Year's Day.
That day, we can also invite Gu Lin over.
Let Gu Lin meet with the people from the Luozhen Sect.
With this thought in mind, Li Yunjing went to upgrade the building.
Let's start from the Sect Grand Hall.
The Sect Grand Hall is currently at level 4.
Upgrading to level 5 requires one Heavenly Gang Stone, three Dao-Enlightening Stone, and a sect prosperity level of 15.
All three conditions are met.
Li Yunjing directly upgraded the Sect Grand Hall.
[Sect Grand Hall (lv5)]
[Current effects: Monthly Spiritual Qi production increases to 60 units, disciple breakthrough success rate increases by 50%, and the sect leader's Spiritual Qi conversion rate increases by 40% when cultivating here.]
It can trigger a group buff once a month, increasing cultivation speed by 30% and reducing the probability of encountering a bottleneck by 30%.
It generates a protective array that can withstand Foundation Establishment Early Stage.
You can designate a member of the Luozhen Sect to enter a state of enlightenment, lasting for ten breaths. This effect can occur once a year.
[Level 6 Spiritual Effect: Monthly Spiritual Qi production increases to 80 units; disciple's success rate in breaking through minor realms increases by 60%; when the sect leader cultivates here, the Spiritual Qi conversion rate increases by 50%.]
It can trigger a group buff once a month, increasing cultivation speed by 40% and reducing the probability of encountering a bottleneck by 40%.
It generates a protective array that can withstand cultivators Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
You can designate a member of the Luozhen Sect to enter a state of enlightenment, which lasts for twelve breaths. This effect takes effect once a year.
When the group buff is triggered, there is a 10% chance to simultaneously activate "Dao Rhyme Resonance," temporarily increasing the enlightenment probability of all disciples in the sect by 5% (lasting one day).
[Upgrade Requirements: 1 Four Symbols Stone, 2 Dao Comprehension Jade Marrow, 600 Low-Grade Spirit Stone, Sect Prosperity ≥ 20]
I have to say, the effect of level 6 is truly enviable.
The level 6 spirit skill now includes the effect of increasing comprehension.
Although it was only a temporary upgrade, it was enough to greatly benefit the disciples of the Luozhen Sect.
Behind the Sect Grand Hall is the Spirit Field of the Luozhen Sect.
The area of Spirit Field has now expanded considerably.
Originally, there was only one mu of Spirit Field.
Later, with Ge Shuyuan joining the Luozhen Sect...
Ge Shuyuan always felt that this acre of Spirit Field was not quite right.
Therefore, Ge Shuyuan took the initiative to cultivate new Spirit Field.
However, relying solely on Ge Shuyuan, the amount of new Spirit Field he can cultivate is limited.
It only adds one unit of Spirit Field.
However, as more and more people joined the Luozhen Sect later on...
Ge Shuyuan now has an accomplice.
The newly reclaimed Spirit Field now covers an area of 1.5 mu.
In addition to the original one acre of Spirit Field.
The total area of the Luozhen Sect's Spirit Field reached more than two acres.
It's still not big enough.
However, it's enough for the current Luozhen Sect.
Moreover, Ge Shuyuan and his new disciples are still cultivating the Spirit Field.
The area of the Luozhen Sect's Spirit Field will continue to expand.
Li Yunjing took out the corresponding upgrade items.
A bottle of Grade 2 Earth Milk Essence and a Grade 2 Spirit Gathering Formation Plate.
After placing the two items, the Spirit Field was upgraded from level 3 to level 4.
[Spirit Field (lv4)]
[Current effect: Crop growth cycle reduction increased to -60%; Absorption speed of Spiritual Qi Cultivation Method within a ten-zhang radius increased by 50%.]
Automatically removes first-grade pests, +40% chance of causing beneficial mutations in Spirit Plant.
One drop of Condensed Spring Dew is produced every seven days.
+10% chance to automatically upgrade crops to a higher tier.
[Level 5 Spiritual Effect: Crop growth cycle reduction increased to -70%; Absorption speed of Spiritual Qi energy for cultivating wood/earth attribute Cultivation Method within a radius of 15 zhang increases by 60%.]
Automatically removes first-grade pests, +50% probability of causing beneficial mutations in Spirit Plant.
One drop of Condensed Spring Dew is produced every five days.
+20% chance to automatically upgrade crops by one tier.
At harvest time, there is a +50% chance to harvest the corresponding spirit seed (which can be repeatedly planted).
[Upgrade Requirements: 1 bottle of Grade 2 Earth Vein Jade Marrow, 3 cubes of Five-Colored Soil, 1 additional Spirit Farmer from the sect.]
The level 5 spiritual effect of the Spirit Field caught Li Yunjing's eye.
A new effect has been added that allows you to harvest corresponding spirit seeds.
This is no ordinary matter.
Currently, the Luozhen Sect's Spirit Field are planted with two types of spiritual rice.
Golden Jade Rice and Blood Fang Rice.
After these two types of spirit rice mature,
The harvested rice can only be used for food and cannot be used as new spiritual seeds for cyclical planting.
This means that the spirit seed was tampered with and castrated during the purchase process.
However, this is not uncommon, and it is generally accepted by the public.
After all, selling spirit seeds can generate a considerable income.
No monk would voluntarily give up this income.
Therefore, once the Golden Jade Rice and Blood Fang Rice are harvested...
Li Yunjing would then have to purchase the corresponding spirit seeds to plant.
This significantly increased costs.
However, after the Spirit Field is upgraded to level 5...
This will save on costs.
If you do the math, it can save the Luozhen Sect a lot of Spirit Stone.
If some rare spirit rice is planted,
That would save even more Spirit Stone.
For example, Blood Fang Rice,
The cost of just purchasing the spirit seeds for Blood Fang Rice is considerable.
Li Yunjing didn't dare buy too many Blood Fang Rice Seeds.
Therefore, not much Blood Fang Rice is grown in the Spirit Field.
Once the Spirit Field is upgraded to level 5, there's no need to worry about this anymore.
At that time, the Luozhen Sect will be able to afford high-grade spiritual rice every day.
Li Yunjing inwardly cheered.
However, the conditions for upgrading the Spirit Field to level 5 gave Li Yunjing a headache.
The first two are fine, but they also need a spiritual farmer.
The profession of spirit farmer is too arduous, so not many people are willing to do it.
Moreover, becoming a Gin farmer also requires talent.
Without sufficient talent, becoming a spirit farmer is nothing but a pipe dream.
Li Yunjing thought for a moment and decided to see what Ge Shuyuan was willing to do.
Ge Shuyuan spent his entire life working in the fields.
When he was still an ordinary person, he was an honest and simple farmer.
After becoming a cultivator, Ge Shuyuan also developed a passion for farming.
Of all the Luozhen Sect, only Ge Shuyuan is suitable to become a Spirit Farmer.
If Ge Shuyuan is willing, then Li Yunjing will train Ge Shuyuan to become a spiritual farmer.
If they are unwilling, then we'll have to find another way.
After a moment's thought, Li Yunjing left the Spirit Field.
Continue upgrading other buildings.
This time, almost all the buildings within the sect will be upgraded by one level.
Li Yunjing arrived at the Poultry Coop shed.
Take out the necessary items for upgrading the Poultry Coop.
Then, Li Yunjing silently recited a command to upgrade the Poultry Coop from level 4 to level 5...
