Chapter 142

In the time that followed, Ye Qingxuan's main consciousness never left his original body again.

He resumed the day-after-day cultivation life he had led before.

Besides cultivating, Ye Qingxuan occasionally forged some high-quality true artifacts and mid- to low-grade spiritual artifacts, various fourth- and fifth-grade elixirs, talismans, and array disks, and even flying boats of various grades.

All these items were prepared by Ye Qingxuan for his external incarnation.

Once his external incarnation established a city in the Eastern Extreme Domain, Ye Qingxuan planned to organize an auction to make his city's name known.

At that time, there would naturally be some excellent items to serve as the finale.

The items at the auction must not attract the attention of Soul Transformation cultivators, but they must be able to attract Nascent Soul cultivators.

Only in this way could the city's reputation be established while ensuring safety in the early stages.

Then, he would naturally build his commercial platform to bring him a constant stream of resources, helping the Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Blessed Land accelerate its growth.

The various fifth-grade cultivation supplies Ye Qingxuan prepared were intended to attract Nascent Soul cultivators to attend his first auction in the Eastern Extreme Domain.

If it were only Nascent Soul cultivators, given his current foundation, he was confident he could still control the scene and make Nascent Soul cultivators feel wary.

As for Soul Transformation cultivators? After his trials in the Demon Realm World,

Ye Qingxuan understood that the gap in realms could not be easily bridged by ordinary external objects.

The highest-grade items he could currently obtain using spirit stones were some sixth-grade items.

Unless a sixth-grade great array was set up in advance, other ordinary sixth-grade offensive items, such as talismans, could not inflict effective damage on Soul Transformation cultivators.

Perhaps only sixth-grade superior and sixth-grade supreme talismans could pose a certain danger to early-stage and mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivators respectively, bringing some deterrent effect.

As for items above the sixth grade, within the Profound Heaven Sect, they simply could not be bought using spirit stones alone.

Items above the sixth grade involve the level of profound meaning and rules, and can only be used or forged by cultivators beyond the Soul Transformation realm.

Within the Profound Heaven Sect, items above the sixth grade basically require massive amounts of contribution points.

Even within the Profound Heaven Sect market, there were basically no sixth-grade or higher supplies that could be purchased using spirit stones.

Occasionally, sixth-grade or higher raw materials or certain items that could be traded with spirit stones would appear, but they would be snatched up quickly.

This is because items above the sixth grade can basically only be traded using spirit crystals.

And spirit crystals are one of the resources that assist cultivators beyond the Soul Transformation realm in their cultivation.

The spiritual energy within spirit crystals has been compressed to the extreme and is extremely pure.

When cultivators absorb the spiritual energy within spirit crystals to cultivate, it can significantly reduce the speed at which their spiritual roots convert spiritual energy into spiritual power.

The spiritual energy within supreme-grade spirit crystals can even be continuously converted into a cultivator's spiritual power without requiring excessive conversion by the spiritual roots.

It can even passively increase the purity of spiritual power within the bodies of mid- and low-grade cultivators.

However, this extremely pure spiritual energy is not something the bodies of low-grade cultivators can withstand.

Ordinary cultivators need at least the Nascent Soul realm to withstand the power of the spiritual energy in low-grade spirit crystals.

Therefore, spirit crystals basically circulate only among high-grade cultivators.

Although there are exchange standards for supreme-grade spirit stones and low-grade spirit crystals on the market, they basically have a price listed but no actual transactions.

One low-grade spirit crystal can easily be exchanged for one hundred supreme-grade spirit stones.

But conversely, one hundred supreme-grade spirit stones may not be enough to exchange for a single low-grade spirit crystal.

Occasionally, spirit crystals that leak out are basically exchanged at a premium.

Spirit crystals can only be condensed from seventh-grade or higher spiritual veins.

For spiritual veins below the seventh grade, even if spirit crystals exist, they are basically just a stray one or two low-grade spirit crystals.

It can be said that spirit crystals themselves are one of the important cultivation resources for high-grade cultivators.

Therefore, if Ye Qingxuan wants to obtain items above the sixth grade through purchase, he must first accumulate enough spirit crystals.

To obtain spirit crystals, relying solely on his Tianfu Shop at present is impossible.

Unless Ye Qingxuan is willing to throw a large amount of spirit stones, there is only a chance to exchange for a certain amount of low-grade spirit crystals, but the quantity will definitely not be large.

Besides this, there are two channels available to Ye Qingxuan to acquire spirit crystals.

These two channels are the Profound Heaven Sect and the Earth Profound World Alliance. The unified exchange price for one low-grade spirit crystal in both the Profound Heaven Sect and the Earth Profound World Alliance is one hundred million contribution points.

One contribution point, theoretically speaking, is worth one low-grade spirit stone, so exchanging for low-grade spirit crystals using contribution points in the Profound Heaven Sect and the Earth Profound World Alliance carries no premium.

However, certain items that can be exchanged for using Profound Heaven Sect contribution points and Earth Profound World Alliance contribution points cannot be bought with spirit stones.

So in a sense, when exchanging for high-grade items within such major powers or large organizations, the contribution points themselves carry a premium.

However, for Ye Qingxuan at present, spirit crystals are not an urgent item, so he temporarily has no intention of accumulating contribution points to exchange for spirit crystals.

Over these years, his Tianfu Shop has gradually settled down.

Although the daily profits have not continued to grow, they are very stable, meaning the shop has truly established itself among the large shops in the Profound Heaven Sect market.

Besides daily operations, the Tianfu Shop continues to acquire a constant stream of various spiritual mines for Ye Qingxuan.

The mission Ye Qingxuan posted at the Profound Heaven Sect Mission Hall to acquire spiritual mines has never been withdrawn.

He spends about five hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones annually to pay for the mission costs.

It is not that Ye Qingxuan does not want to spend more spirit stones, but that the missions to acquire various spiritual mines have yielded very little result in the later stages.

The quantity of various spiritual mines acquired by the Tianfu Shop each year is also gradually decreasing.

This is because Ye Qingxuan has already acquired most of the various low-grade spiritual mines below the fifth grade near the Profound Heaven Sect over these years.

Basically, Ye Qingxuan has acquired all the various common low-grade spiritual mines in the regions near the Profound Heaven Sect.

The types of spiritual mines Ye Qingxuan has acquired over these years, plus the various spiritual mines he previously tricked out of the eight major Soul Transformation-level powers, and the various spiritual plants planted within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Blessed Land,

should be enough to perfect the elemental profound meaning and rules within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Blessed Land to the peak of the third grade.

But to advance to the fourth grade, it is estimated that a bit more accumulation is still needed.

To accelerate the advancement speed of the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, two requirements must be met simultaneously.

The first point is to accelerate the conversion speed of the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land's origin and accumulate enough origin.

The second point is to accelerate the evolution speed of the elemental profound rules within the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land and perfect the various elemental profound rules inside it.

For now.

First, Ye Qingxuan can use the Source of Spirit Veins to increase the spirit veins of the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, utilize resources from the Green Demon Realm to evolve primordial energy, and accelerate the accumulation of primordial energy within the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.

Second, for the time being, Ye Qingxuan can only plant various spiritual herbs and refine various spiritual ores for the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land to analyze, thereby accelerating the evolution and perfection speed of its elemental profound rules.

For this second point, besides various spiritual herbs, what is needed is a sufficiently large base of spiritual ore types.

High-grade spiritual ores might replace some low-grade spiritual ores, but they cannot replace all types of low-grade spiritual ores.

This is the reason Ye Qingxuan has never given up on acquiring various low-grade spiritual ores.

The reason he arranged his external avatar to develop in the remote Dongji Domain is also for this purpose.

In fact, various ores, plants, heavenly treasures, and even the corpses of the Green Demon Clan within the Green Demon Realm all contain portions of the elemental profound rules of the Green Demon Realm, and even fragments of subtle laws.

However, the current rank of the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land is too low; let alone products from the Green Demon Realm.

Even high-grade items from the Earth-Mystic Realm itself are extremely difficult for the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land to analyze.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan's gains in the Green Demon Realm can only be crudely purified into simple primordial energy for the time being, allowing the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land to absorb them and accelerate the accumulation of primordial energy.

It cannot directly allow the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land to analyze and perfect its own elemental profound rules.

As a world, if it wishes to continuously advance in rank, besides having enough primordial energy.

In the early stages, it must perfect the elemental profound rules within the world; in the later stages, it must evolve the rudiments of the Great Dao laws, then continuously perfect them and evolve more Great Dao laws.

This process, relying solely on the world's own evolution, would be an extremely long one.

Therefore, to accelerate this process, various cultivation systems gradually appeared in higher-level worlds.

They utilize the living beings within the world to assist in evolving various elemental profound rules, and even the profound meanings of the Great Dao laws.

As the living beings grow stronger, the world also slowly grows stronger, accumulating the foundation for the next rank advancement.

In many worlds, this is a win-win process.

In addition, two worlds, or even multiple worlds, mutually verifying each other can also accelerate this process.

However, the method of worlds mutually verifying each other might seem somewhat (End of Chapter)
