Chapter 230 of Mortal’s Immortal Path of Immortality: Ten Million Spiritual Stone Alliance Leader, additional update 10/10, please subscribe!
Yinyue's suggestion made Ye Changsheng ponder for a moment.
I have to say that this proposal is very tempting. Once Yinyue becomes the host of the Zhoutian Star Mirror, the power of this magic weapon will be greatly increased.
However, there are also hidden dangers in doing so.
Ye Changsheng knew that Yinyue would leave in the future. Even if he deliberately did not go to the secret realm of Kunwu Mountain, once he ascended to the spirit world in the future, Yinyue would wake up and leave.
If you do that, suddenly losing the spirit of the weapon will undoubtedly cause great damage to your magic weapon.
Ye Changsheng has high hopes for his own magic weapon, so he doesn't want something like this to happen in the future.
The other is that once Yinyue becomes the body of the natal magic weapon, many things will no longer be hidden from her.
Some of Ye Changsheng's secrets will be seen by her, which is something Ye Changsheng does not want.
Therefore, after careful consideration, he shook his head and said, "No, you are not suitable to be the weapon spirit of my natal magic weapon!"
"However, as long as you show your worth, I will not kill you easily. Now in order for us to have more trust in each other, I need to put some restrictions on you. Do you have any objections?" Ye
Changsheng said calmly.
The silver giant wolf was startled when he heard this, and then said: "Silver Moon naturally has no objection. The master's concerns are right, so please ask the master to cast a spell!"
Ye Changsheng nodded, opened his mouth and spat out a stream of essence and blood, using it to carve a strange symbol, and then flicked the symbol into Yinyue's body.
The giant wolf covered with long silver hair was instantly enveloped in a hazy bloody light, and a look of pain flashed from its eyes.
"Well, from now on, your life and death will depend on my thoughts. Even if you run away with the jade Ruyi, it will have no effect!" Ye Changsheng said calmly.
"Master is really cautious, but that's fine. Only people like Master can cultivate the great road!"
"When the master reaches the stage of spiritual transformation and leaves this world and reaches the spirit world, I will be able to get rid of the trouble of this weapon spirit body!" the silver giant wolf said with some excitement.
Obviously, after being trapped in a magic weapon and being a weapon spirit for such a long time, she had longed to escape from the sea of misery.
Now, meeting Ye Changsheng, a young Nascent Soul cultivator, the possibility of her being able to escape from the shackles of ten thousand years suddenly became much greater.
Make an agreement with him. As long as he can ascend to the spirit world, he can also gain freedom.
Thinking of these, Yin Yue became extremely excited.
"By the way, speaking of which, I seem to have heard of the master's natal magic weapon somewhere!" the silver giant wolf said suddenly.
"Oh? Have you heard of it in the spirit world before?" Ye Changsheng asked with a look on his face.
"I can't remember clearly. I always feel like I have some impression, but my memory is too deep for Mo Lake!" Yinyue shook her head and said.
"Really, forget it if you can't remember!" Ye Changsheng said with a calm expression, as if he didn't care about the news.
Taking two steps in the air, the silver giant wolf said: "I will go back to the magic weapon first. Master, it is best to find a suitable body to help me seize the body as soon as possible, so that I can also help you!"
With that said, the silver moon turned into a ray of silver light and flew into the Jade Ruyi magic weapon.
Ye Changsheng took the magic weapon in his hand, looked at it, placed the silver moon at the door of the cave, and said: "I will teach you how to unlock the cave's restrictions. You can help me take care of those gold-eating insects and let them work hard on mining!"
"In addition, if anything unusual happens on the island, you must notify me in time!" Ye Changsheng said.
"Yinyue knows!" A clear voice came from Yu Ruyi.
Ye Changsheng nodded. With such a secretary-like assistant beside him, his life will be much more convenient in the future.
After telling Yinyue how to open the cave's restriction, Ye Changsheng went into the secret room to practice.
During this retreat, he planned to push his magic power to the peak of the early stage of Nascent Soul.
According to previous calculations, if you want to cultivate to this point, you still need to consume about 3.5 million spiritual stones.
The amount of spiritual stones he currently has is over four million, which is completely enough.
Moreover, it can be continuously mined from Biling Island.
Currently, Ye Changsheng only has two types of elixirs needed for cultivation. One is the elixir he obtained from the storage bag of the Nascent Soul monk in Dajin, and later refined the Yuanhe elixir himself.
There is also the Spiritual Source Pill obtained from the Xutian Temple.
Although there are only two types, they are completely sufficient.
Ye Changsheng tried to copy the ancient elixir called Lingyuan Pill obtained from the Xutian Temple before, and one pill directly consumed 20,000 spirit stones.
It is four times as powerful as the Yuanhe Pill that he refined himself, which shows that the potency of this ancient pill is indeed extraordinary.
In comparison, today's world of immortality has undoubtedly degraded a lot compared to ancient times.
Not to mention the lack of spiritual energy, the effects of various elixirs are also much worse.
The reason is simply that those elixirs that were used for thousands or tens of thousands of years in ancient times are no longer visible in the current world of immortality.
Therefore, naturally various prescriptions and the like need to be adjusted accordingly, and at the same time, the potency of the medicine will also decrease.
Ye Changsheng tried it and took a Spirit Source Pill. As soon as the pill entered his stomach, he immediately felt a majestic spiritual energy appear.
He quickly started to use his skills to refine it. It took forty days to completely refine this elixir.
Opening his eyes, Ye Changsheng's eyes flickered with light, and he thought to himself: "So, refining nine of these pills in one year is equivalent to eating 180,000 spiritual stones!"
"But before I refined the Yuanhe Dan, I could only consume the equivalent of 120,000 spiritual stones in spiritual power in a year!"
"If I were to simply meditate and practice, even if I was sitting on the Spring of Spiritual Eyes, I would only be able to refine spiritual power equivalent to 20,000 spiritual stones in one year!"
"In other words, the speed of practice is now nine times faster!"
"It will take about twenty years to push the mana to the peak of the early stage of Nascent Soul!"
After Ye Changsheng made some calculations, he began to take drugs and practice hard.
In this world, he is the only one who can practice in such a luxurious way.
If it were ordinary Yuanying monks, even if they had so many spiritual stones, they would not be able to find so many elixirs.
According to the conventional method of meditation practice, if a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul wants to accumulate mana to its early peak, it will take more than a hundred years anyway.
And the mana Ye Changsheng needs to accumulate is three times that of the same level. If there is no elixir, he will need more than three hundred years.
But now with the unlimited supply of elixirs, even counting the twenty years of previous practice, he would only need less than fifty years to complete this step.
Cultivation has no time, time passes day by day, and the same scenery is repeated day after day on Biling Island.
Hundreds of thousands of gold-eating insects are busy day and night, devouring the sand and stones on the island, selecting the spiritual stones among them, and sending them to the front of the cave.
The giant wolf transformed by Silver Moon usually lay lazily at the entrance of the cave to bask in the sun, watching the piles of spiritual stones pile up like mountains, and then put them into storage bags.
As the surface spiritual stone mines are gradually mined out, the number of spiritual stones that can be delivered every day becomes less and less.
If the gold-eating insects want to mine the deep spiritual stone mines, they need to devour an extremely large amount of mountain rocks. This is a hard job for them.
This made Yinyue, who looked at them lazily every day, feel a little heartbroken, secretly thinking that the master Ye Changsheng was really exploiting the spiritual insects too much.
Although the huge Biling Island is in the sea of demons, it is extremely peaceful on weekdays.
Apart from the intrusion of some low-level monsters every day, there is basically nothing else to see.
Occasionally, one or two level 5 or 6 monsters would accidentally enter this island, but they would soon become the meal of gold-eating insects.
The days were repeated day by day. After the gold-eating insects worked hard for eight years, suddenly one day, they all stopped.
They no longer went to mine spiritual minerals, but gathered together to fight crazily and devour each other.
They are about to evolve again.
This fight lasted for more than a month. In the end, most of the gold-eating insects were eaten by their own kind, and only a very small part survived.
After devouring the corpses of its kind, this small part was placed in the insect chamber of the cave by Yinyue.
Not long after, they laid piles of gold-eating insect eggs one after another, and then died.
A considerable number of these gold-eating insect eggs have undergone a certain degree of mutation, and dark stripes appear on the eggs.
This is what happens after eating the fire ants.
When all these gold-eating insects hatched, their number reached a terrifying two hundred thousand.
A considerable number of them appear in three colors: gold, silver, and black.
Compared with the two-color gold-eating bugs of their kind, these three-color gold-eating bugs are obviously more ferocious and more powerful.
"I don't know where the master found so many gold-eating insects and cultivated their swarm to this extent!"
"Although my memory is not very clear, I still have a vague impression of this strange insect!"
"It seems like they have a very terrifying reputation even in the spiritual world!" Yinyue thought as she looked at these ferocious gold-eating insects.
She became more and more curious about Ye Changsheng.
Not only did he cultivate so many gold-eating insects, he also advanced to the Nascent Soul at such a young age in a spiritually barren land like the human world.
Moreover, it also possesses extremely strong combat power.
When Ye Changsheng was in retreat before, Yinyue asked him how old he was now.
At that time, the answer I received was that he was less than 150 years old.
In other words, based on this age, Ye Changsheng should have had a baby when he was about 120 years old.
This conclusion shocked Yinyue. It was rare to reach Yuanying at such a young age, even in the spiritual world.
Ye Changsheng's retreat practice lasted for twenty-five years, which was several years longer than the twenty years he originally expected.
All this was because, in the later stages of his cultivation, he encountered the drug resistance problem he had encountered before.
The effectiveness of the Spiritual Source Pill obtained from the Xutian Palace gradually decreased, so Ye Changsheng had to switch back to practicing with the Yuanhe Pill.
So, it ended up taking a few more years.
"Calculating my age, I am now one hundred and seventy years old, and I have no time to cultivate!"
With a long sigh, Ye Changsheng walked out of the secret room.
Now he is stuck at the bottleneck of the middle Nascent Soul stage and cannot break through.
The original plan to use Wen Siyue to break through will definitely not be used now.
Twenty-five years ago, Wen Siyue had just entered the foundation-building period.
No matter how unparalleled her aptitude is, it is impossible for her to reach the pill-forming stage in just over twenty years.
And without the cultivation of the Dan-Jie stage, it would be impossible to help him break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
We have to think of another way. It seems that Wen Siyue can only be used later, when he breaks through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
"The handbook of the Yuanying monk of the Great Jin Dynasty obtained from the land of the underworld contains a method that can help break through the middle stage of Yuanying!"
"At the beginning, this person was looking for something like this that could help break through, but he was accidentally swept away by the ghost mist!"
"It's just that these things recorded by this person are all in Dajin, but I have no way to go to Dajin!" Ye Changsheng thought in his heart.
Shaking his head, he suppressed these thoughts in his heart, planning to return to the Inner Star Sea later to explore and see if there was any way to break through the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
Ye Changsheng walked out of the secret room and saw a lot of bulging storage bags piled in a corner of the cave.
After being stunned for a moment, he realized that these should be the spiritual stones mined by the gold-eating insects for more than twenty years.
There was a flash of light at the door of the cave, and Yin Yue sensed Ye Changsheng leaving the cave and walked in.
"These storage bags are full of spirit stones, which have been mined by gold-eating insects over the years. I made a rough calculation and found that including high-level spirit stones and mid-level spirit stones, they are worth about 10 million spirit stones!
"Yinyue's clear and melodious voice rang in my ears.
"Ten million spirit stones? It's okay, but it's still less than I expected!" Ye Changsheng said while looking at the pile of spirit stones in the corner.
"It's good to have so many. The spiritual stones on this island are becoming more and more difficult to mine. If you continue to mine them, your gold-eating insects will probably die of exhaustion!" Yinyue said half-jokingly.
Ye Changsheng smiled when he heard this and said nothing more.
The further the mining progresses to the later stage, the harder it will be to mine the spirit stone. He has known this for a long time.
After all, his mining method is too crude and simple, just digging mountains and islands.
Unlike normal Lingshi mines, the mining method is often to first ask professionals to explore and determine the direction of the Lingshi veins.
After exploring which place is richer in spiritual stones, dig a mine and send mortals to dig.
Ye Changsheng knew nothing about Feng Shui and Kanyu, so it was naturally impossible to tell where there were more spiritual stones and where there were fewer.
Therefore, his mining method is rough digging.
However, although his method is rough, because he has a large number of gold-eating insects, the spiritual stones obtained by his mining method are far more than those obtained by intensive farming methods.
Even if such a large-scale spiritual stone mine was developed by a force like Xing Gong, it would be impossible to dig out 10 million spiritual stones in twenty years.
Those powerful sects who develop spiritual stone mines often follow a slow path.
Ye Changsheng, on the other hand, is fishing with all his strength!
"Ten million spirit stones should be nothing to the spirit stone mine on Biling Island!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
"However, my current mining ability has indeed reached a limit. I will consider how to deal with this spiritual stone mine later!" Ye Changsheng thought.
After moving all the storage bags into the secret room, Ye Changsheng said: "Let me deal with these spiritual stones!"
Hearing this, Yinyue's eyes showed curiosity.
She wanted to know how Ye Changsheng would deal with these spiritual stones.
After all, these are ten million spiritual stones, and most of them are low-level spiritual stones.
The space occupied by so many spiritual stones cannot be contained in a storage bag in the human world.
In the corner of Ye Changsheng's cave, there are more than a hundred storage bags piled up.
These were all taken from the Miaoyin Sect before he left Tianxing City.
If Ye Changsheng wanted to take away all these spiritual stones, wouldn't he have to bring all the more than one hundred storage bags with him?
Under Yin Yue's curious eyes, Ye Changsheng took all the storage bags to his secret room.
Then, there was a soft sound and the secret room door was closed. Yinyue curled her lips when she saw this scene, knowing that Ye Changsheng was keeping a secret from her.
One day later, Ye Changsheng walked out of the secret room with only a storage bag hanging around his waist.
Yinyue looked inside through the stone door and found more than a hundred shriveled storage bags lying in the secret room.
Apparently they are all empty!
Seeing this scene, she had a look of surprise on her face. How come a figure as big as ten million spiritual stones was missing?
Could it be that they were all put into the storage bag on his waist?
But this is impossible. How can there be a storage bag with such a large space?
Yinyue's face was full of confusion, and she didn't understand how Ye Changsheng did it.
However, she had a vague guess in her heart that this should be Ye Changsheng's secret!
No matter how much Yinyue thought about it, she could not imagine that Ye Changsheng could easily convert ten million spiritual stones into ten top-quality spiritual stones, which could be carried on her body without taking up any space.
And the direction she guessed deep in her heart was that Ye Changsheng might have mastered some kind of space spiritual treasure.
After solving the problem of carrying the spirit stones, Ye Changsheng went to the insect room again and put the 200,000 gold-eating insects into two spirit beast bags.
Then, he glanced at the cave and said to Yinyue: "Let's leave this island!"
Upon hearing the words, Yin Yue turned into a ray of silver light and penetrated into the jade Ruyi magic weapon.
Ye Changsheng put away the Jade Ruyi magic weapon, cleared away all the formation flags in the cave, and then left Biling Island.
He did not leave any arrangements on the island, because now he is not worried about the island being discovered by others.
Bi Ling Island is located in a very remote location, almost at the edge of the Chaos Star Sea. Under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible for anyone to come here.
Even if someone really breaks into this place by mistake, it will be difficult to find the spirit stone mine here.
Because the slightly shallower spiritual stones on the island have been mined by Ye Changsheng.
It is difficult to be like in the original work, where humans immediately discover the spirit stone veins on the island as soon as they arrive here.
Even if we step back ten thousand steps and someone discovers the spirit stone mine, it doesn't matter.
Even if it were occupied by a big force to mine the spirit stone mine here, at their speed, even if it took a hundred years, they wouldn't be able to mine much.
Compared to the spiritual stone reserves on this island, that amount of mining is nothing at all.
Therefore, Ye Changsheng left with confidence and boldness.
Of course, the most important reason why he didn't leave any arrangements behind was that the island was simply too big.
It was impossible for him to arrange any formation to hide this island.
With the size of this island, no formation can do this.
This is not like the small island where the ancient teleportation array was placed.
Therefore, Ye Changsheng could only ignore everything and leave directly.
"The lair of the eighth-level demonic beast should have been found over at Biyunmen now. After finding the demon companion grass, go back to the Inner Star Sea and see how the situation is there!" Ye Changsheng thought in his mind.
He quickly galloped towards Qiyuan Island.
One month later, Ye Changsheng came to the sea near Qiyuan Island. After putting on the Qianhuan Mask, he entered Black Stone City.
He released his own breath, and after a moment, a white light came rushing towards this side.
In the white light, there is a Taoist priest riding on a white crane.
Miaohe Zhenren!
Seeing Ye Changsheng appear, Master Miaohe had a warm smile on his face, laughed loudly, and said: "Brother Ye, I finally waited for you!"
Holding his hands together, Ye Changsheng showed a smile on his face and said, "Brother Qi, what happened to my original commission?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Haha, Brother Ye is really impatient. Why don't you go to my Biyunmen to have a cup of spiritual tea first and listen to what I have to say?" Master Miaohe stroked his hand.
He said with a long beard and a smile.
"That's fine, Ye will be disrespectful!"
"Haha, Brother Ye, please come with me!"
Sitting in an attic of Biyun Gate, Master Miaohe personally poured a cup of tea for Ye Changsheng, and then said slowly:
"Brother Ye, we have already found the eighth-level monster's lair that you asked us to find. However, if you want to explore this monster's lair now, it may be a little troublesome!"
As Master Miaohe spoke, the expression on his face became slightly serious.
"Oh? What's the trouble? Brother Qi, please elaborate!" Ye Changsheng narrowed his eyes and said calmly.
"Brother Ye may have been in seclusion these years. I don't know the current situation of Qiyuan Island!"
"A few years ago, for some unknown reason, the monsters in the abyss next to Qiyuan Island suddenly started to riot!"
"High-level monsters that were rarely seen in the past are now everywhere. Even us Yuanying Masters are in danger now if we want to enter the abyss of the ocean!" Master Miaohe said with a solemn expression.
"Brother Qi, what this means is that the lair of the eighth-level monster is in the abyss of the ocean?" Ye Changsheng asked after a moment of silence.
"Yes, in fact, those of us who have a foothold on Qiyuan Island know very well that there is no shortage of eighth-level monsters in the vast ocean, so after receiving Brother Ye's commission, I asked the disciples of the Biyun Sect to go to the vast ocean.
Find the monster's lair in the abyss of the sea!"
"Finally, we discovered the lair of an eighth-level blood-striped shark a few years ago. Our disciples wrote down the address of the lair and then reported it!"
"I have been waiting here for Brother Ye's arrival. I thought that after Brother Ye arrives, with Brother Ye's strength, there should be no problem in exploring this lair!"
"Unexpectedly, in the past two years, the monster beast in the abyss of ten thousand feet suddenly rioted. I'm afraid Brother Ye will encounter great danger when he goes to the monster beast's lair now!" Master Miaohe said.
