Chapter 166

After obtaining the Spirit Vein Sources.

Ye Qingxuan brought the Spirit Vein Sources back into the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

Since there was only 1 fifth-order Spirit Vein Source, Ye Qingxuan only left 2 fourth-order Spirit Vein Sources for his mysterious shop.

The remaining 1 fifth-order Spirit Vein Source and 13 fourth-order Spirit Vein Sources were all integrated by Ye Qingxuan into the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi.

Under the catalysis of Ye Qingxuan's control over the power of the cave heaven blessed land, these integrated Spirit Vein Sources were evolving into spirit veins of corresponding orders at an extremely fast speed.

It would only take a few days.

There would be 1 additional fifth-order spirit vein and 13 fourth-order spirit veins in the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi.

Added to the previous 20 third-order spirit veins, 36 second-order spirit veins, and 62 first-order spirit veins.

At that time, the speed at which the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi absorbed external energy and converted it into origin would inevitably skyrocket again.

The extra first and second-order spirit veins had evolved slowly after the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi was promoted to the mid-third order.

A total of 2 second-order spirit veins and 4 first-order spirit veins had evolved.

That was why there were now 36 second-order spirit veins and 62 first-order spirit veins in the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi.

Five days later.

After the newly added 1 fifth-order spirit vein and 13 fourth-order spirit veins finished evolving.

Under the instinctive operation of the cave heaven blessed land.

These newly added spirit veins began to assist the cave heaven blessed land in opening up energy channels and nodes, absorbing void energy and chaos energy from the outside, and converting them into spiritual energy and origin.

Sensing the current speed at which the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi converted origin, Ye Qingxuan could not help but reveal a look of joy in his eyes.

The impact of a fifth-order spirit vein on a third-order cave heaven blessed land was even greater than Ye Qingxuan had imagined.

According to the current speed at which the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi converted origin, coupled with the Green Demon Clan corpses continuously transported through the mysterious shop.

Ye Qingxuan estimated that the speed at which the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi would be promoted to the late-third order would be much faster than its promotion to the mid-third order.

As for the rules and profound meanings of the cave heaven blessed land? Ever since Ye Qingxuan used the seventh-order World-Suppressing Stone to set up the sixth-order World-Suppressing Array.

The Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi had become even more stable, capable of releasing more power to analyze profound meanings and rules, and accelerating the conversion of origin.

With the continuous supply of low-order spirit minerals from Ye Qingxuan and the assistance of a large number of planted spirit plants.

The profound meanings and rules currently evolving in the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi were already sufficient for it to grow to the peak of the third order.

Therefore, in the short term, Ye Qingxuan only needed to increase the energy supply to the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi and accelerate the conversion of its origin.

He did not need to worry about the profound meanings and rules of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi.

After the Spirit Vein Sources integrated into the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi evolved into spirit veins.

Ye Qingxuan let his explorer clone return to the Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi and take the remaining 2 fourth-order Spirit Vein Sources to the mysterious shop in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm.

At the mysterious shop, Ye Qingxuan's clone could not use the heaven and earth power of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi to catalyze the Spirit Vein Sources.

Therefore, after obtaining the 2 fourth-order Spirit Vein Sources brought by the explorer clone.

Ye Qingxuan's mysterious merchant clone activated the Spirit Vein Sources continuously through the infusion of spiritual energy within the city.

It took three full months of continuous spiritual energy infusion to activate them before the two fourth-order Spirit Vein Sources gradually formed two fourth-order spirit veins.

In the earth beneath the mysterious shop, after the spirit veins took shape, two energy channels were opened up over the next few days.

Once the two energy channels appeared, they began to draw in void and chaos energy from outside the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm, continuously converting them into fourth-order spiritual energy.

Under the guidance of the array, this converted fourth-order spiritual energy was successively fed back into the cave dwelling courtyards within the mysterious shop.

Not only that, the spiritual energy gathered around the two fourth-order spirit veins had begun to slowly condense into Lower Grade and Mid-grade spirit stones, piling up in the earth around the spirit veins.

Perhaps, after long ages passed.

As long as the spirit stones beneath the mysterious shop were not mined, these two fourth-order spirit veins might continue to transform and advance—that was also a possibility.

Most spirit veins, like cultivators, do not start at the peak level of spirit veins.

The vast majority of spirit veins in the world, from the moment of their birth, start as first-order spirit veins and slowly grow and transform through the evolution of long ages.

Only then do they eventually grow into various high-order spirit veins.

After the mysterious shop gained two more fourth-order spirit veins, the first to notice, besides Ye Qingxuan, were the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators resting in the various cave dwelling courtyards of the mysterious shop. Previously, although the mysterious shop did not lack spiritual energy, most of it was first-order spiritual energy born from the conversion of first-order demonic energy.

Although first-order spiritual energy, as long as the quantity was large, could also allow Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to recover their spiritual power.

But the speed of recovering spiritual power would be much slower, not to mention the speed of cultivation.

A cultivator increasing their cultivation base is equivalent to constantly expanding a bottle, allowing the bottle to hold more spiritual power.

During this process, the bottle itself also undergoes transformation.

To expand the bottle, one needs to slowly absorb spiritual energy from the bottle's mouth, convert it into refined spiritual power to polish the bottle, and expand the bottle's body.

But when the spiritual power in the bottle is exhausted, it can be directly purified and filtered through the bottle's body, absorbing external spiritual energy to fill the spiritual power consumed within the bottle.

This bottle is equivalent to a cultivator's dantian; the bottle's mouth is equivalent to a cultivator's spirit root.

To polish the dantian, expand the dantian's capacity, compress the concentration of spiritual power within the dantian, and improve one's own cultivation base.

One needs to pass the spiritual power converted by the spirit root directly into the dantian, forcibly polishing the dantian, subtly expanding the dantian's capacity, and compressing the concentration of spiritual power within the dantian.

When the spiritual power in the polished dantian is exhausted.

The cultivator can directly absorb external spiritual energy through the meridians connecting the entire body to the outer wall of the dantian.

By filtering the external spiritual energy through the outer wall of the dantian, it is directly converted into spiritual power to replenish one's own consumption.

As a cultivator improves their cultivation base, the outer wall of the dantian also transforms along with the improvement of the cultivator's realm.

Therefore, the purity of the spiritual power filtered out by the dantian outer walls of cultivators at different realms is also different.

For example, when a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator absorbs external spiritual energy to recover spiritual power, the spiritual power converted through the dantian outer wall is fifth-order spiritual power.

The higher the quality of the absorbed external spiritual energy, the faster the filtering speed of the dantian outer wall.

Therefore, the birth of fourth-order spirit veins in the mysterious shop now can supply fourth-order spiritual energy.

The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who were originally hesitating whether to settle temporarily in the mysterious shop and use it as a stronghold in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm.

After sensing that the mysterious shop could supply fourth-order spiritual energy, they decisively made the decision to use the mysterious shop as their stronghold in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm.

After all, besides Ancestor Xuanmu City, there was now nothing else.

Most of the other cities that had successfully been cast did not have a supply of fourth-order or higher spiritual energy.

There were even a small number of cities where even first-order spiritual energy was supplied in limited quantities.

Forcing the already not-so-wealthy rogue cultivators to have to use their own spirit stones to recover spiritual power.

Do not think that maintaining the supply of spiritual energy in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm is easy.

The spirit veins of the Di Xuan Realm are not allowed to be destroyed, and currently, only Demonic Vein Sources exist in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm.

Only the high officials of the Di Xuan Realm Alliance have the ability to purify Demonic Vein Sources back into Spirit Vein Sources.

In other words, the only channel to obtain Spirit Vein Sources at present is the Di Xuan Realm Alliance.

To exchange for Alliance Sources within the Di Xuan Realm Alliance, one must accept tasks issued by the Di Xuan Realm Alliance and obtain Alliance Contribution Points.

Ordinary cultivators, even if they are willing to spend spirit stones to purchase them, do not have this channel and can only go to accept Di Xuan Realm Alliance tasks to accumulate Alliance Contribution Points.

But there are quite a few cultivators eyeing the Di Xuan Realm Alliance's tasks.

For easy tasks, mid- and low-order cultivators without a background in the Di Xuan Realm cannot grab them.

For difficult tasks, these mid- and low-order cultivators without a background in the Di Xuan Realm do not have the ability to complete them.

Therefore, wanting to exchange for a Spirit Vein Source in the Di Xuan Realm now is not a simple matter.

There are some cities in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm established by rogue cultivators.

Currently, they are still using first-order Spirit-Cleansing Trees to purify a small amount of first-order spiritual energy, supplied in limited quantities to the cultivators in the city.

It is precisely because of this that, upon noticing the mysterious shop starting to supply fourth-order spiritual energy.

The cultivators still resting in the mysterious shop decisively made the decision to settle temporarily in the mysterious shop.

After all, the mysterious shop is located in one of the areas where the human race and the Green Demon Clan are locked in a chaotic battle.

Settling here provides a significant advantage when hunting the Green Demon Clan.
