Chapter 127

After Ye Qingxuan's main body successfully broke through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

At this time, Ye Qingxuan's external clone, still aboard the Tianyuan Trading Company's skyship, had entered cultivation to raise his cultivation base.

As Ye Qingxuan's external clone, once Ye Qingxuan's main body successfully broke through,

the external clone, Kui Xuanzi, could directly consume spirit stones to rapidly raise his cultivation base.

Therefore, within one month of Ye Qingxuan breaking through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm,

his external clone, Kui Xuanzi, could basically raise his cultivation base to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

Ye Qingxuan was not worried about his external clone; he currently had no time to attend to it.

Although he had emerged from seclusion, the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven had just advanced, and he still had many things to do.

Ye Qingxuan placed the four-tier wooden puppets he had refined one by one according to their designated zones.

He then distributed a batch of new spiritual plant seeds, allowing these four-tier wooden puppets to operate independently and tend to the spiritual plants within their assigned zones.

For the puppets' energy cores, Ye Qingxuan used spirit stones.

The four-tier wooden puppets he had currently refined all used high-grade spirit stones as their energy cores.

One high-grade spirit stone could keep a four-tier wooden puppet operating for a month.

After all, wooden puppets were merely auxiliary; they did not need to fight, and tending to spiritual plants did not require daily attention, so consumption was relatively low.

Beyond that, Ye Qingxuan himself cultivated a fairly large area.

Now that his territory had expanded, Ye Qingxuan prepared to expand the planting range of the special spiritual plants: Spirit-Gathering Grass, Spirit-Purifying Tree, and Earth Spirit Flower.

As special spiritual plants, Spirit-Gathering Grass, Spirit-Purifying Tree, and Earth Spirit Flower could continue to grow and mature as long as there was sufficient time and energy.

Planting more might prove useful for other purposes in the future.

Moreover, the Spirit-Purifying Tree could already bring him considerable profits, so among the three spiritual plants Ye Qingxuan expanded, the Spirit-Purifying Tree was the most numerous.

After the expansion, the quantities of Spirit-Gathering Grass and Earth Spirit Flower each reached three thousand plants.

The quantity of Spirit-Purifying Trees reached six thousand.

Of the six thousand Spirit-Purifying Trees, Ye Qingxuan intended to sell three thousand to exchange for Alliance Contribution Points.

Among the three thousand Spirit-Purifying Trees to be sold in the future, except for the first-tier ones used as cover, Ye Qingxuan planned to cultivate the rest to the fifth tier before selling them.

A single fourth-tier Spirit-Purifying Tree was worth only 90,000 Alliance Contribution Points, but a single fifth-tier Spirit-Purifying Tree was worth 900,000 Alliance Contribution Points.

Now, within the third-tier Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven, cultivating a Spirit-Purifying Tree to the fourth tier took less time, requiring about ten years.

However, cultivating a Spirit-Purifying Tree to the fifth tier required only about sixty years.

Calculated this way, it was more profitable to cultivate the Spirit-Purifying Trees to the fifth tier before selling them.

Ye Qingxuan no longer planned to exchange for second- or third-tier Spirit Vein Sources; from now on, he intended to exchange only for Spirit Vein Sources of the third tier and above.

Ye Qingxuan's Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven currently did not lack second- or third-tier Spirit Veins.

On the contrary, his Grotto-Heaven did not have a single Spirit Vein above the third tier.

A single fourth-tier Spirit Vein Source was worth 100 million Alliance Contribution Points, while a single fifth-tier Spirit Vein Source was worth 3 billion Alliance Contribution Points.

Therefore, his current demand for Alliance Contribution Points was immense.

3 billion Alliance Contribution Points seemed like a lot, but converted into spirit stones, it was merely 300,000 high-grade spirit stones. This amount of spirit stones was but a drop in the ocean for Ye Qingxuan.

Unfortunately, while Alliance Contribution Points could be exchanged for spirit stones, spirit stones could not be exchanged for Alliance Contribution Points, so Ye Qingxuan could only diligently farm for now.

After replanting the spiritual plants,

Ye Qingxuan returned once more to the convergence point of the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven's origin.

After another month of inhuman torment, Ye Qingxuan used the origin power of the third-tier Grotto-Heaven to reorganize his flesh and blood, advancing his Earth Immortal Body to the third tier.

A third-tier Earth Immortal Body could ignore Daoist magic attacks from the Purple Mansion realm and reduce half of the Daoist magic attacks from early-stage Golden Core cultivators.

After the Earth Immortal Body advanced, Ye Qingxuan's physical body evolved again, and the evolution progress of the spiritual roots within his body increased by another century.

Now, the fourth spiritual root within Ye Qingxuan's body would require about three hundred more years to coalesce.

After observing his Earth Immortal Body for a moment, Ye Qingxuan sighed, "I wonder when I will be able to match my Earth Immortal Body with my cultivation realm?"

Shaking his head and ceasing to ponder this, Ye Qingxuan sent a message to Bai Zichun, the steward of the Fortune Cultivation Academy: "Steward Bai, this disciple's Qingxuan Fortune Land has advanced to the second tier, and this disciple's cultivation has also broken through to the early stage of the Purple Mansion. Please register it for us."

When he contracted the Fortune Land, the initial land was already in the late stage of the first tier.

Furthermore, having purchased so many Spirit Vein Sources afterward, claiming that the Qingxuan Fortune Land had advanced to the second tier was quite reasonable.

Regarding the Fortune Lands controlled by Fortune Cultivation disciples, the Xuantian Sect granted significant autonomy and did not easily dispatch disciples to investigate their Fortune Lands.

Generally, after a Fortune Cultivator reported the advancement of their Fortune Land, the Xuantian Sect would approve it directly.

This was because, upon becoming a second-tier Fortune Cultivator, the planting tasks also became second-tier, so basically no Fortune Cultivator would lie about such matters.

Such deception would purely harm their own interests.

Therefore, after a Fortune Cultivator reported an advancement, the Xuantian Sect would directly register the rank; while improving the Fortune Cultivator's treatment, it would also raise the level of their planting tasks.

Regardless of the situation, the Xuantian Sect would not lose out.

The Xuantian Sect would only issue an edict to dispatch people to investigate a Fortune Cultivator's Fortune Land under three circumstances.

The first circumstance was when a Fortune Cultivator disciple passed away and their name disappeared from the sect's registry.

The second circumstance was when a Fortune Cultivator disciple's Fortune Land failed to advance for a long time, exceeding the average advancement time for Fortune Cultivator Fortune Lands.

Under such circumstances, the Xuantian Sect would also dispatch people to investigate the Fortune Cultivator's Fortune Land.

First, to prevent Fortune Cultivators from hiding the fact of their Fortune Land's advancement to seek personal gain and refuse the planting tasks required after advancement.

Second, to investigate the specific conditions of the Fortune Land and, relying on the Xuantian Sect's past experience, provide guiding suggestions.

The third circumstance was when a Fortune Cultivator failed to complete the sect's planting tasks.

Under such circumstances, the Xuantian Sect would also dispatch people to inspect the Fortune Cultivator's Fortune Land, identify the problem, and propose solutions.

After all, the planting tasks assigned by the Xuantian Sect were not heavy for a Fortune Cultivator who controlled the entire Fortune Land.

If a Fortune Cultivator could not complete the tasks under such circumstances, there must be a problem somewhere, and the Xuantian Sect would naturally dispatch people to investigate.

So as long as Ye Qingxuan avoids these three situations, he need not worry about people from the Xuantian Sect trespassing into his blessed land.

As long as the Xuantian Sect does not investigate his Qingxuan Blessed Land, his true form can remain in seclusion behind the scenes within the Xuantian Sect, continuing to cultivate in secret.
