In the Cangling Sea, the materials for refining storage bags and storage rings are scarce, but there are many kinds of spirit shells.
This type of Nahai shell is relatively common, and the material cost is much lower than that of storage bags, and the price is also much cheaper.
However, for the Qi-refining monks, the Nahaibei is considered an expensive luxury item, and many monks in the middle stage of Qi-refining cannot afford it.
Fortunately, Old Man Ye inherited the legacy of his predecessors. Not only did he get a Nahai shell, but it was also a top-quality one with an internal space of six feet square. This was considered quite generous among the cultivators in the middle stage of Qi refining.
After packing up all the things, Old Man Ye took Ye Linyuan and were about to board the boat and leave.
"Mr. Ye."
However, just as they were about to board the boat, a voice called out to Ye Linyuan.
Ye Linyuan turned around and found a stunningly beautiful woman walking towards him quickly.
The person who came was Shui Hanqing. She called the two of them and said with gratitude, "Thank you, Master Ye, for your advice. Hanqing has gained some enlightenment."
Ye Linyuan smiled, and then said calmly: "I said that some people can feel the rain, while others will just get wet."
"You are able to gain some insights, which proves that you are that kind of person. My words only allow you to take that step in advance."
Shui Hanqing shook his head slightly, and then said gratefully: "It is difficult to repay your kindness, could you please leave your address?"
"If you need anything in the future, I will repay your kindness today."
Ye Linyuan waved his hand, then smiled and said, "No need, if we are destined to be together, we will meet again."
Having said this, he untied the rope of the boat and disappeared into the vast ocean.
Shui Hanqing stood where he was, watching Ye Linyuan disappear in the sea mist, feeling inexplicably lost.
"…"
"Since you gave her a heads up, why don't you accept the favor?"
Old Man Ye held the boat, looked back at the shore which was becoming increasingly unclear, and could not help but ask.
Old Man Ye was a little puzzled. The Shui family was quite powerful. If she could really become a spiritual plant husband because of this, the value of this favor would probably be quite high.
Ye Linyuan shook his head, stood calmly at the bow, looked at the vast sea and said: "Among the Qinghe Islands, there are only three Qi training families with the surname Ye."
"If she is interested, she will find out our background. If she is not, then we don't need her to show her kindness verbally."
Old Man Ye was slightly stunned and looked at Ye Linyuan again, only to see the young man standing at the bow of the boat, his slender figure set off by his moon-white robe, and he had an indescribable outstanding demeanor.
Inexplicably, Old Man Ye had a feeling and an incredible thought in his heart.
He had a feeling that his grandson was like a latent dragon lurking in the abyss, accumulating the strength to soar into the sky.
One day, when this real dragon emerges from the abyss, it will surely sweep across the entire Cangling Sea.
"…"
We come in a hurry and leave in a hurry.
The old man and the young man drove the small boat and spent another three days crossing two thousand miles of vast abyss to return to Yejia Island.
After returning to Yejia Island, Ye Linyuan cleared two acres of fertile land and planted five-element wood seedlings and ten gamboge seeds.
These were all genuine spirit seeds. Ye Linyuan carefully nurtured them with the Spirit Nurturing Technique and the Spirit Rain Technique. After several days of hard work, he finally restored the vitality of these spirit seeds.
After doing all this, Ye Linyuan began to refine the formation flags.
A first-grade, lower-grade spirit gathering formation requires three formation flags to be successfully deployed.
The biggest trouble in making the flags was weaving the cloth for the flags. Ye Linyuan personally weaved the cloth and was busy for seven or eight days before he finished weaving the flags for the three flags.
Then he made a flagpole out of the spiritual wood, fused it with the flag, and carved lines of spirit gathering arrays on it.
Fortunately, the soul gathering array does not need to be refined with true fire, so it is not a problem for Ye Linyuan to handle these with his level of refining skills.
After being busy like this for about half a month, he finally succeeded in refining this first-grade lower-grade spirit gathering array.
"See the effect."
After completing the spirit gathering array, Ye Linyuan immediately used the spirit eye of the cave to set up the spirit gathering array.
With the successful arrangement of the spirit gathering array, he immediately activated the array and immediately found that the spirit eye's spirit gathering effect increased dramatically, and the meager spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be coming towards the spirit eye.
"Not bad, from now on I will be able to nurture the four-axis spiritual energy every day."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and then fell into deep thought.
After pondering for a long time, he left the cave spirit eye, and then found Old Man Ye and said, "The spirit eye on the top of the mountain can be used by Brother Linze and Huaixue for the time being."
Old Man Ye was slightly stunned, and then he showed a hint of surprise.
He seemed to understand something and immediately looked at Ye Linyuan, but saw Ye Linyuan nodded. He immediately exclaimed excitedly.
"My Yuan'er is truly a genius."
Old Man Ye was extremely excited. He had already guessed that Ye Linyuan had cultivated a spirit gathering formation, and he felt extremely ecstatic about it.
Because the arts of cultivation are precious, even if one only masters the lower-grade arts of cultivation, it is enough to make a living in the world of immortal cultivation.
If one can master the first-level middle-grade cultivation arts, there will be great hope of breaking through to the late stage of Qi training in the future.
Of course, it is not impossible to set up a lower-grade spirit gathering array at the beginning of Qi training.
The reason why casual cultivators cannot master the various arts of cultivation is never because of lack of talent, but because they cannot afford to buy the materials to practice. A skilled cook cannot cook without rice, and without materials there is naturally no possibility of improvement.
For example, Ye Tianke has been a first-class lower-grade weapon refiner for many years, but he has never had the opportunity to practice, so he cannot become a first-class middle-grade weapon refiner.
On the contrary, it is normal for the inner disciples of the foundation-building sects to master all the arts of cultivation in the early stages of Qi training.
These monks were all trained by sects or families, and learned for several years under the guidance of highly skilled predecessors.
After gaining experience, and providing enough materials for practice, basically within two or three attempts, you can master the lower level of the first-level cultivation arts.
On average, the cost for a foundation-building sect to train a disciple who has mastered the first-level lower-grade cultivation arts is often no more than three or five spirit stones.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary casual cultivators to practice. Without the guidance of senior masters, and without the ability to spend so many spirit stones to buy materials for training, it is naturally difficult for them to master the various arts of cultivation.
This time, Ye Linyuan only bought one set of materials. Old Man Ye only regarded it as a training tool and did not hold much hope for its success.
Although there has never been a shortage of geniuses in the world of cultivating immortals, those independent cultivators in the late stages of Qi training basically all have their own strengths.
In the early stages of Qi training, although it is rare to refine a low-grade formation at one time, it is not an isolated case.
But no matter what, Ye Linyuan was able to succeed in one go, which can only be explained by his genius.
