"First level of Qi training, three spiritual roots of water, gold and wood."
In the spiritual eye closed room, Ye Linyuan slowly opened his eyes.
He sensed his cultivation level and spiritual roots, and a hint of contemplation appeared in his eyes.
Ye Linyuan was not a native of this world, and this was not his first reincarnation. He came from Earth in his first life, and after his death he was reincarnated into this vast world of cultivating immortals.
At that time, he was born into a foundation-building family, and happened to have the dual spiritual roots of gold and fire, making him a fairy seedling with superior talent.
With the domineering power of the dual spiritual roots of gold and fire, coupled with his daring and fighting character and the full support of his family, he cultivated all the way to the state of great perfection of the golden elixir, and was considered a powerful figure with a great reputation in the area.
Unfortunately, the gold and fire attribute skills are too overbearing, and it is easy to hurt oneself when fighting with all one's strength.
In his previous life, he had an overly aggressive personality. He relied on his domineering magic power of gold and fire to overcome all difficulties and gained a lot of opportunities to cultivate to the state of great perfection of the golden elixir.
However, during the many fierce battles, his meridians and body were damaged by the power of gold and fire, and ultimately he had no hope of breaking through the Yuanying realm.
Later, for the opportunity of a breakthrough, Ye Linyuan risked his life to break into the forbidden land of Jiexu, where he was snatched from the mouths of a group of Yuanying old monsters and eventually died in the forbidden land of Jiexu.
Fortunately, his desperate struggle at the moment of death allowed him to find an opportunity to defy fate, which gave him the chance of reincarnation in this life.
"Fortunately, the opportunity has not been lost."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, then lowered his eyes and sensed the sea of consciousness.
But inside the sea of consciousness, there was an ancient scripture slowly rising and falling, with a line of large characters written on it - the Magic Art of Refining Souls.
It turns out that this scroll of soul-refining magic is an amazing method to change one's destiny.
This method can refine the spiritual objects of heaven and earth and integrate them into one's own foundation, allowing oneself to possess certain characteristics of the spiritual objects of heaven and earth.
For example, if a defensive magic weapon is refined through the magic of soul refining, then the cultivator's body will have a defensive power comparable to that of the magic weapon.
For example, if one refines a peerless immortal sword, then the cultivator's mana will be transformed into amazing sword energy, possessing a killing power that is unmatched by those of the same level.
Such an amazing soul-refining technique naturally has certain limitations.
First of all, every time a cultivator breaks through a major realm, he only has one chance to refine the spiritual creatures of heaven and earth.
Secondly, the refined rare objects must at least be compatible with the cultivator's spiritual roots, otherwise it will produce a rejection reaction.
"Now that I have this magical soul-refining technique, I should plan my path of cultivation in this life carefully."
Ye Linyuan pondered and couldn't help but examine his own foundation again.
In this life, he possesses the three spiritual roots of water, gold and wood. His qualifications are one level lower than in his previous life, but he has one more direction to cultivate. How to choose the main foundation is very critical.
As the reincarnation of a powerful Jindan master, Ye Linyuan naturally has no shortage of cultivation techniques.
However, the five elements of spiritual roots are different, and the characteristics of the magic power cultivated will be very different. This is related to the foundation of future enlightenment, so careful and prudent choices are required.
The properties of the five elements' spiritual roots are different. Among them, the fire spiritual power is domineering, the gold spiritual power is powerful, the water spiritual root is gentle, the wood spiritual power prolongs life, and the earth spiritual power is good at defense. The magic power cultivated by each has its own strengths.
Of course, the magical powers cultivated from these five kinds of spiritual roots also have their own shortcomings.
Among them, although the fire spirit power is overbearing and has amazing destructive power, once it explodes at full power, it will burn one's own flesh and blood.
Gold's spiritual power is extremely powerful, and his ability in single combat is the strongest among his peers. However, if he uses all his strength to attack the enemy, his meridians will be damaged by the sharp sword energy.
Although it is only when fighting with all one's strength that one will be hurt, how dare a cultivator hold back any spare strength when it comes to a life-and-death battle?
Ye Linyuan was a gifted man in his previous life, cultivating both gold and fire spiritual roots, and had few rivals in fighting ability at the same level. As a result, he overcame many difficulties along the way and reached the Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
However, the many desperate fights had caused too much damage to his body, and ultimately he was unable to enter the Yuanying realm because his body was too broken.
Now that he has been reincarnated and started practicing again, Ye Linyuan is preparing to change his method of practice.
"The path of cultivation is difficult, and it is difficult to sustain it for long by simply relying on fighting fiercely."
"And with the help of the magic of soul refining, I can now choose a more stable path of cultivation."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly in his heart, gave up the practice of the gold spiritual root, and then thought about the remaining two directions, and finally chose to major in the water spiritual root.
In fact, to be fair, majoring in wood spiritual roots is also a good choice.
Because wood-attributed techniques can prolong life, generally speaking, cultivators who major in wood-attributed techniques will have a lifespan that is about 10% higher than cultivators of the same level. Some superior wood-attributed techniques can even increase lifespan by 30% or even 50%.
There are three main reasons why he chose to major in water spiritual roots.
Firstly, he was currently in the Eastern Canglinghai cultivation world, where water-attribute resources were most abundant.
Secondly, water-attributed techniques are best at healing. Practitioners who practice this technique are not afraid of injuries of varying severity. Even if they fail to break through the foundation-building stage in the future, they will not be in danger of falling. They can even break through again after recovering from their injuries.
This alone is already considered to be against the will of heaven. One has to know that if it were a cultivator who practiced fire or gold magic, failure in breaking through a higher realm would often mean life or death. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would not have the chance to break through a second time.
The third reason is that Ye Linyuan has a volume of water-attributed ancient martial arts skills at the Yuanying level in his hand.
Of course, water magic also has a huge disadvantage, that is, the water magic power is too soft, lacking the sharpness of gold magic and the domineering of fire magic. Not only is the combat power at the bottom of the same level, but the difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck will be greatly increased.
For those with gold and fire spiritual roots, although the impact on foundation building means life or death, they only need one try to succeed. However, those who practice water magic may find it difficult to succeed even after three or five attempts, wasting a lot of their lifespan while making little progress.
"With the help of the magic of refining spirits, if we refine the right treasures, we should be able to make up for the shortcoming of the water method being too soft."
"With that ancient book, it shouldn't be too difficult to break through the bottleneck in the future."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart that the strange book he wanted to practice was called - Canghai Mingyue Gong.
This book is about martial arts from the ancient times. The speed of cultivation is quite slow, the purity of the magic power is only average, and it is quite difficult to break through the bottleneck. However, it has two amazing features.
The first is its magic of healing. The Canghai Mingyue Gong can be cultivated into a special Taoist foundation, the Canghai Mingyue, and its healing effect is unparalleled in the world. It is said that when it is cultivated to a high level, one can be reborn by a drop of blood under the moonlight, and even the injuries of the Great Dao can be repaired.
The second is the overwhelming magical power. The magical power of Canghai Mingyue Gong is so abundant that it is several times that of the same level when the foundation is laid.
When one reaches a high level of cultivation, the magic power in the body is like the vast ocean, which is almost inexhaustible.
As a former powerful Jindan master, Ye Linyuan understood too well the importance of Canghai Mingyue Gong.
In his previous life, his talent and comprehension were unrivaled in the field, but he was unable to break through because his physical body was almost exhausted. If he had the healing effect of Canghai Mingyue, he would not have lost hope of reaching the Yuanying realm.
In addition, after reaching a high level, the importance of magical power becomes increasingly important, as it is related to the success rate of breaking through the Yuanying realm.
If a Jindan cultivator can master the Canghai Mingyue Gong, the success rate of breaking through the Yuanying stage can be increased by at least 20% to 30%.
"It has a miraculous healing effect and great magical power."
"These two points are enough for the Canghai Mingyue Gong. Its shortcomings can also be made up by the magic of refining spirits."
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly, and then smiled and said: "My name is Linyuan, Yuan means Canghai. The bright moon rising from the sea is Cangyue Linyuan. It seems that this Canghai Mingyue skill is predestined with me."
With this thought in mind, Ye Linyuan let go of all distracting thoughts.
Looking back at his life experience in this life, his brows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.
"The situation we face in this world is far worse than that in the previous life."
In this life, Ye Linyuan's background was not good. Although he could not be considered a casual cultivator, he was actually not far off.
The Cangling Ye family is just a small family.
Originally, there were only six Qi-cultivating practitioners in the clan, plus nearly two hundred ordinary people from the Ye family, who practiced in seclusion on this small Ye Family Island.
The strongest cultivator of the Ye family, Ye Linyuan's grandfather, Ye Tianke, had only reached the sixth level of Qi training.
"We are a small Qi-cultivating clan, with little power and a weak clan. We exist in the gap between major forces. If we are not careful, we will be overthrown in an instant."
Ye Linyuan's mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
Fortunately, although the clan is not strong enough, it is still a place to settle down, which is much better than those low-level cultivators who are living in danger every day. He suppressed his thoughts and began to practice the Canghai Mingyue Gong.
After all, he had the knowledge of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, so he was able to switch to Canghai Mingyue Gong in an orderly manner, and completed the switch after three days.
"Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, Volume 1, First Glimpse!"
Ye Linyuan whispered slowly. He tried to practice the Canghai Mingyue Gong. After refining all the broken spirit stones in his hand, he found that his mana limit had increased by 10%, and the new mana had an excellent healing effect.
The mana only increased by 10%, which doesn't seem to be too much.
But Ye Linyuan knew very well that this was just the beginning. Magical power needed time to accumulate. The true power of Canghai Mingyue Gong would only be revealed gradually as his cultivation level improved.
However, at this moment, Ye Linyuan glanced at the broken spirit stone in his hand, then glanced at the spirit eye with thin spiritual energy beside him, and couldn't help but show a trace of helplessness.
The Ye family was weak and only purchased a low-grade spiritual eye, which was a branch spiritual eye of the Xinghu Seven Islands spiritual vein.
This time, in order to help him break through the first level of Qi training, the Ye family took out the only seven broken spirit stones in the clan and kept this spirit eye sealed for more than half a month.
Now, the broken spirit stones have been used up, and the spiritual energy of the low-grade spirit eye has almost been exhausted.
"The broken spirit stones have been used up, and the spiritual energy of the spirit eye is almost gone."
"It's time to leave."
Ye Linyuan frowned and sighed, a hint of helplessness appearing on his face.
He stood up and walked out of the confinement room, only to find three Qi training monks who had been waiting for a long time, led by a white-haired old man.
Seeing Ye Linyuan coming out, the old man was overjoyed and said, "Hahaha, my grandson Ye Linyuan is indeed a man of heaven. He broke through the Qi training realm in just seven days. In the future, he will definitely become a great cultivator who will bring honor to the family."
The two people on the side couldn't help but hold their foreheads, showing a bit of helplessness.
Ye Linyuan quickly bowed and saluted respectfully, saying, "Linyuan has met grandfather, second uncle, and third uncle."
"Get up."
The old man pulled him up, then looked at the two men and scolded them, "Why, you're still not convinced?"
"I dare not."
The two of them quickly waved their hands, not daring to talk back.
The old man Ye looked at Ye Linyuan and nodded, saying, "Boy, you have achieved a breakthrough so quickly. You are indeed worthy of having three spiritual roots. Whether our Ye family can prosper in the future depends on you."
Ye Linyuan glanced at the three people and couldn't help but smile.
Although the Cangling Ye family is weak, they do not have the intrigues of the big cultivation families. The entire Ye family is the descendants of Old Man Ye.
This old man Ye was originally a casual cultivator. When he was young, he wandered around the Cangling Islands and accidentally found a cave left behind by a cultivator who had achieved perfect Qi training. Relying on the resources inside, he cultivated himself to the middle stage of Qi training.
Unfortunately, the path of a casual cultivator is difficult, and his cultivation has been difficult to advance after breaking through the middle stage of Qi Refining. Believing that he has no hope of reaching the stage of Foundation Establishment in this lifetime, he spent all his fortune to purchase the Ye Family Island.
To date, the Ye family has struggled here for more than 40 years and has managed to gain a firm foothold.
Of course, Ye Linyuan felt that the reason why the Ye family was able to gain a foothold was because Yejia Island was too poor.
It's just a low-grade spiritual eye with weak spiritual energy. Not to mention the foundation-building cultivators, even those in the late stage of Qi training might not be looked down upon. It would be a loss of face to cause trouble to them for this.
If the spiritual energy on Ye Family Island was a little stronger, I'm afraid these six Qi-cultivating monks might not be enough to fill the gap.
"well!"
Ye Linyuan sighed slightly in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the current strength of the Ye family.
Nowadays, the Ye family only has six Qi training practitioners besides Ye Linyuan. Among them, grandfather Ye Old Man has the most powerful cultivation base, with his cultivation base reaching the sixth level of Qi training. He is the only pillar of the Ye family.
In addition, the second uncle Ye Qinyang has perfected the third level of Qi training and is the second strongest person in the family. The third uncle Ye Qinchu has also perfected the third level of Qi training and is already the third strongest person in the family.
There is also the fifth aunt, Ye Qinxin, whose cultivation level is also at the third level of Qi training, and her strength is almost the same as that of the third uncle.
In addition, there are two Qi-cultivating monks among the three generations, namely the second uncle's eldest son Ye Linze, and the third uncle's daughter Ye Huaixue.
Among them, Ye Linze is eleven years older than Ye Linyuan, and his cultivation has reached the second level of Qi training. Ye Huaixue is only three years older than Ye Linyuan, and his cultivation is still at the first level of Qi training.
It can be said that the entire Ye family is just two or three cats, big and small, and their strength is really too weak.
Ye Linyuan was also very clear that the fundamental reason for the Ye family's weakness was their lack of skills in cultivation.
In the entire Ye family, only Old Man Ye knows how to refine magical instruments, and he can only refine first-grade, inferior instruments, with a low yield and low quality.
Precisely because of this, there are very few monks who entrust him with refining magic weapons, which means that Old Man Ye has very few opportunities to refine magic weapons. He can only occasionally help others repair magic weapons at a low price to earn a few broken spirit stones.
At least Old Man Ye had some skills, but the others were extremely poor and could only make a living by fishing around Yejia Island, hoping to hunt some rare sea fish and earn a meager income.
However, hunting sea fish is also very dangerous. They can deal with ordinary sea fish, but once they encounter sea fish from the realm of monsters, they will have to risk being seriously injured or even being eaten by the fish.
This income is already full of uncertainty. After deducting the taxes, the Ye family can only save a few pieces of broken spirit stones a year.
The seven pieces of broken spirit stones that Ye Linyuan used up to break through the first level of Qi training were the last of the stocks that the Ye family had accumulated over the past year.
There is nothing that can be done about it. After all, all cultivation skills require practice, and a lot of materials are needed in the early stages of practice.
Even if the Ye family gathered all their strength, they could not afford to train a second cultivator who was proficient in all arts.
Since they don't know how to cultivate the various arts, the seven members of the Ye family all rely on one low-grade spiritual eye for practice. Naturally, their progress is extremely slow, and it would be extremely difficult for them to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining.
"Lin Yuan is the only one in the family with three spiritual roots."
Just as Ye Linyuan was thinking, Old Man Ye said, "My opinion is that everyone should tighten their belts and give him priority in cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qinyang and Ye Qinchu looked at each other.
After a moment, Ye Qinyang smiled bitterly and said, "We are stuck in the early stage of Qi training and cannot break through, but it's not a big problem."
"But Linze and Huaixue are still young, so they still have to..."
At this point, both of them smiled bitterly.
Old Man Ye slammed the table and could not help but yelled, "How foolish!"
"Linze has five spiritual roots, Huaixue has four spiritual roots. With the financial resources of our Ye family, there is little hope for them to break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining."
"Since we don't have enough financial resources, we must focus on supporting one person. Otherwise, after I die, who among you will be able to protect the Ye family's foundation?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qinyang and Ye Qinchu's expressions changed again and again.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the importance of the spiritual eye is self-evident. Even though the Ye family only has a low-grade spiritual eye, it is something that many casual cultivators in the outside world would love to have.
If Old Man Ye really passed away, and the Ye family no longer had someone in the middle stage of Qi Refining to guard it, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to protect this low-grade spiritual eye.
Thinking of this, Ye Qinchu also smiled bitterly, and then said, "Forget it, I will go and do some ideological work on Linze and Huaixue."
Ye Linyuan was silent for a while. Just as he was thinking about saying something, he suddenly heard the sound of a flute.
He looked up and saw a small boat sailing over from the sea outside Yejia Island.
"It's from the Lin family."
Old Man Ye took a look at the small boat and his expression changed slightly.
