Chapter 112: Prepared Trump Cards

In the following years, Ye Qingxuan no longer paid attention to the war between the two worlds outside and began to cultivate in seclusion with peace of mind.

Every year, Ye Qingxuan would condense the Dao seed of one divine ability and improve his realm in one of the four arts of cultivation.

Added to the minor divine ability: Shape-Shifting and the minor divine ability: Clone, after all six minor divine ability Dao seeds were successfully condensed, Ye Qingxuan's concealment ability, escape ability, and combat power rose by a level.

With the Dao seeds of the two divine abilities: minor divine ability: Heaven-Deceiving and minor divine ability: Shape-Shifting,

Ye Qingxuan's External Incarnation could at least completely hide his arbitrarily changed appearance, cultivation base, and aura in front of Void Penetration Realm mighty figures without revealing any flaws.

In addition to divine abilities,

Ye Qingxuan's four auxiliary arts of cultivation—alchemy, artifact refining, formations, and talismans—had all been raised to the Fifth Order level.

After achieving his goal for secluded cultivation, Ye Qingxuan was in no hurry to leave seclusion but began to upgrade the formation of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi.

The massive resources obtained from pitting the eight Deity Transformation Realm forces against each other were now piled up like a mountain in the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

Now, these resources could be put to good use, without needing to trouble the two brothers, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, or Zhu Dafu to make extra purchases.

With the help of the power of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi, Ye Qingxuan spent three months

upgrading the original Fourth Order Smelting Formation, Fourth Order Energy Conversion Formation, and Fourth Order Earth Vein Formation in the Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi to the Fifth Order level.

After the Smelting Formation, Energy Conversion Formation, and Earth Vein Formation were upgraded to the Fifth Order, the speed at which the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi accumulated various foundations increased significantly once again.

Coupled with the newly added Second and Third Order spiritual veins, the speed at which the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi absorbed chaos and void energy, and the speed at which it converted origin energy, had completely exceeded the Second Order level and reached the level of a Third Order Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi.

In Ye Qingxuan's perception, the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi would probably need about ten more years to reach the peak of the Second Order and then successfully advance to a Third Order Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi.

After upgrading all the formations within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi, Ye Qingxuan spent another two-plus months refining one pagoda, one sword, and one shield—a total of three Lower-grade spiritual artifacts—as well as one Fifth Order Lower-grade flying boat.

The flying boat used dual methods of artifact refining and formations, so it was not divided by the level of magic treasures, but directly divided into First to Tenth Order, corresponding one-to-one with cultivation realms.

The Fifth Order Lower-grade flying boat's conventional speed could rival that of a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul Realm.

Because it was engraved with various formations, the flying boat could continuously inhale spiritual energy on its own to replenish energy and maintain a long-term conventional flight speed.

Moreover, when encountering a crisis, the flying boat could obtain a speed that broke conventional limits by burning a large amount of spirit stones.

The limit speed of the Fifth Order Lower-grade flying boat after breaking conventional limits could completely reach the normal flight speed of a peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

These three Lower-grade spiritual artifacts and one Fifth Order Lower-grade flying boat were all prepared by Ye Qingxuan for his External Incarnation.

Then, there were the Fifth Order Nuclear Explosion Pills.

Given the current situation of the monster race in the Di Xuan Realm, high-order monster cores flowing outside were already very scarce.

If it weren't for the captivity and protection of the major hegemon-level forces, those high-order monsters might not even be able to grow to the Fifth Order level.

Some of the existing high-order monsters were specifically kept by the major hegemon-level forces.

When needed, they would take a portion of these high-order monsters' blood, bones, organs, etc.; anyway, as long as they didn't kill them outright, these were all renewable resources.

But monster cores were different; once taken out, the monster would die directly.

So high-order monster cores above the Fifth Order were becoming increasingly scarce.

Currently, through the Heavenly Fortune Shop, Ye Qingxuan had only collected thirty-seven Sixth Order monster cores. Fortunately, the Fifth Order Nuclear Explosion Pills used Fifth Order monster cores.

In the outside world, Fifth Order monster cores might be very rare, but within a hegemon-level force like the Xuantian Sect, Fifth Order monster cores were temporarily not in short supply.

Because of the vast territory and superior environment within the Xuantian Mountain Range, the number of captive monsters was terrifying, and their speed of growing to the Fifth Order was not slow.

Now, the Nascent Soul Realm disciples within the Xuantian Sect basically took these Fifth Order monsters as their main targets for training, and the number of Fifth Order monsters killed every year was not small.

Some gluttonous disciples even often took these Fifth Order monsters to satisfy their cravings.

So within the Xuantian Mountain Range, the speed at which the Heavenly Fortune Shop collected Fifth Order monster cores was not slow; currently, in the inventory of the Heavenly Fortune Shop, there were already tens of thousands of Fifth Order monster cores.

Taking out a sound transmission talisman, Ye Qingxuan contacted Ye Zhaoheng:

"Zhaoheng, go to the Heavenly Fortune Shop and take back all the monster core inventory collected by the Heavenly Fortune Shop."

Over these few years, the two brothers, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, had successfully broken through to the Golden Core Realm.

Ye Qingxuan had also refined elixirs for the two brothers to improve their cultivation in the Golden Core Realm, allowing them to maintain their previous speed of cultivation improvement.

"Yes, Young Master."

Not long after the sound transmission, Ye Zhaoheng responded.

Regarding Ye Qingxuan's orders, the two brothers, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu, would never delay, nor would they ask about things they shouldn't.

As attendants, in Ye Qingxuan's view, they were still very dutiful and diligent, which was also the reason why Ye Qingxuan was willing to spend energy and resources to cultivate the two brothers.

During the time Ye Zhaoheng went to get the monster cores, Ye Qingxuan was not idle either, using his spare time to refine a Fifth Order nuclear explosion production line.

When Ye Zhaoheng brought back the monster cores, Ye Qingxuan began to manufacture Fifth Order Nuclear Explosion Pills in the Dongxuan Fudi.

As for talismans?

Although Fifth Order talismans were somewhat overshadowed by Fifth Order Nuclear Explosion Pills, Ye Qingxuan still took the time to refine many Fifth Order talismans.

Fifth Order talismans could erupt with Nascent Soul Realm attacks, which were still very helpful for Ye Qingxuan's External Incarnation, who was still in the early Golden Core Realm.

Besides these, Ye Qingxuan still let Ye Zhaoheng acquire as many Sixth Order talismans as possible.

After all, this was his External Incarnation's first time walking outside, and Ye Qingxuan really didn't feel at ease, which was why he was cautious, cautious, and even more cautious.

His Ye Qingxuan's "mask" was going out, and although he wasn't preparing to burn, kill, and loot, for his own safety, bringing a little bit of resources for self-defense wasn't too much to ask, right?

He, Ye Qingxuan, had been kind to others since he was a child and never actively provoked trouble; his External Incarnation's "mask" was only going on this trip to open up new commercial markets and collect various spiritual minerals needed for the advancement of the Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi.

So as long as they didn't actively become his enemy, Ye Qingxuan wasn't prepared to provoke others casually.

Time passed, and by the time Ye Qingxuan had prepared all the trump cards for his External Incarnation, it was already the end of the fifth year.

Bringing all the prepared talismans, Nuclear Explosion Pills, spiritual artifacts, and the flying boat into the Qingxuan Cave Heaven, Ye Qingxuan transmitted all the items to his External Incarnation hiding in the outside mountain range through the world gate jointly condensed by the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi.

As for the starting resources for his External Incarnation to operate outside, Ye Qingxuan prepared to transmit them over after his External Incarnation had settled down and set everything up.

After doing all this, watching the plan gradually return to the right track, Ye Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Finally, it's time to choose the starting development location for the External Incarnation's mask."
