Chapter 469: Preparations for Secluded Cultivation

Now.

The five of Xue Yu, Jiang Wen, Li Mu, Liu Feifeng, and Jiang Yinyin each led a Demon-Hunting Army of roughly a hundred men.

Among them, cultivators at the Purple Mansion realm accounted for nine-tenths of the total.

"I hope you will not disappoint me. I look forward to your future performance!"

Seeing that everything in Dongxuan City had finally fallen into place.

After Ye Qingxuan whispered a few words on the spot, his primary consciousness left this external avatar and returned to his original body.

Inside the stone pavilion outside the Qingxuan Blessed Land.

Ye Qingxuan's original body was currently drinking tea within the stone pavilion.

When his primary consciousness returned, Ye Qingxuan showed no change; everything felt entirely natural.

In the time that followed, aside from occasionally drinking tea in the stone pavilion.

Ye Qingxuan spent most of his time within the Qingxuan Blessed Land, crafting seventh-grade talismans and talisman treasures, and refining seventh-grade Origin Elixirs.

He then consumed the Origin Elixirs to increase his own spiritual power and cultivation base.

Thanks to the Immortal Artifact, the Immortal Longevity Vase.

Ye Qingxuan could supply vast quantities of spirit stones, allowing the Immortal Longevity Vase to transform them into a continuous flow of Immortal Longevity Dew, accelerating the growth of spiritual herbs.

Although the growth cycle of seventh-grade spiritual herbs is long.

Ye Qingxuan's Qingxuan Cave Heaven had already planted a batch of spiritual herbs beforehand, which had been growing alongside the cave heaven itself.

Now, with the presence of the Immortal Longevity Dew, the growth speed of the spiritual herbs increased significantly.

Currently, within Ye Qingxuan's Qingxuan Cave Heaven, some spiritual herbs had gradually matured to the seventh-grade level.

Ye Qingxuan did not intend to keep these seventh-grade spiritual herbs.

His cultivation base had already reached the late stage of the Void Illusion realm.

Once the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land completed its transformation and entered the seventh-grade tier.

The feedback of the Heavenly and Earthly Origin at that time would very likely allow him to break through all the way to the Empty Void realm.

By then, the effect of the Origin Elixirs refined from seventh-grade spiritual herbs on him would be greatly diminished.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan planned to refine as many seventh-grade Origin Elixirs as possible before the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land fully advanced to the seventh grade, thereby boosting his cultivation progress.

After all, the energy required to advance from the late stage of the Void Illusion realm to the Empty Void realm was considerable.

Moreover, his realm of laws had always been far ahead of his spiritual power realm, and the size of the spiritual power void realm he had opened up far exceeded that of others.

Additionally, he currently possessed only one seventh-grade spiritual vein, providing a very limited supply of high-grade energy.

Thus, Ye Qingxuan himself did not have absolute confidence.

That he could rely solely on the Origin feedback from the seventh-grade advancement of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land to elevate his cultivation from the late stage of the Void Illusion realm directly to the Empty Void realm, completing the transformation of the Empty Void realm.

To ensure absolute safety and increase the success rate of a single breakthrough to the Empty Void realm.

He could only consume vast amounts of seventh-grade spiritual herbs in advance to push his spiritual power cultivation progress forward as much as possible.

Even if he could not break through to the peak of the Void Illusion realm, he must at least traverse more than half of the path within the late stage of the Void Illusion realm.

Thus, in the days that followed.

Ye Qingxuan spent vast quantities of spirit stones every day, allowing the Immortal Longevity Vase to transform a continuous flow of Immortal Longevity Dew to nurture the spiritual herbs.

He then gathered large quantities of spiritual herbs that had matured to the seventh-grade tier into a single furnace, refining them all into seventh-grade supreme-quality Origin Elixirs to boost his cultivation.

The spiritual herbs Ye Qingxuan nurtured were mostly at the seventh-grade lower-grade level.

Refining a single seventh-grade supreme-quality Origin Elixir from seventh-grade lower-grade spiritual herbs required nearly a hundred such herbs, and the process was extremely time-consuming.

But compared to seventh-grade mid-grade and lower-grade Origin Elixirs.

The seventh-grade supreme-quality Origin Elixir offered a far greater boost to his spiritual power cultivation.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan preferred to refine all the nurtured seventh-grade lower-grade spiritual herbs into seventh-grade supreme-quality Origin Elixirs.

Only during occasional moments of leisure would Ye Qingxuan craft some seventh-grade talismans and talisman treasures that required minimal time.

Upon reaching the Void Illusion realm and beyond, the essence of life underwent a leap-like transformation, greatly enhancing survival capabilities.

Talismans of the same tier could no longer pose a life-or-death threat to such high-grade cultivators.

Just as before, when Ye Zhaojun, the head of the Ye family, wielded over twenty seventh-grade talismans, including even one seventh-grade supreme-quality talisman.

The combined attacks unleashed by so many seventh-grade talismans, all striking a mid-stage Void Illusion realm member of the Green Demon Clan.

Even with the Green Demon Clan suppressed by the constraints of the Earthly Profound Realm, they could not completely annihilate the opponent.

This demonstrated the tenacity of life for cultivators at the Void Illusion realm.

Therefore, the seventh-grade talismans Ye Qingxuan was currently crafting were not intended to increase his own combat methods.

Instead, they were meant to fill his treasure vault.

In the future, these talismans could be used to increase the exchange inventory for his subordinate factions, or bestowed upon subordinates and juniors he favored for self-defense.

Both would be excellent choices.

Time passed slowly.

In the eighth year, after consuming five seventh-grade supreme-quality Origin Elixirs, Ye Qingxuan pushed his spiritual power cultivation progress in the late stage of the Void Illusion realm from 5% to 15%.

In the thirteenth year, over five years, Ye Qingxuan consumed another five seventh-grade Origin Elixirs, advancing his spiritual power cultivation in the late stage of the Void Illusion realm to 25%.

In the fifteenth year, shortly after finishing refining a batch of Origin Elixirs, the disciple token at Ye Qingxuan's waist suddenly trembled slightly.

Upon reading the message received within the disciple token, Ye Qingxuan paused slightly and said:

"Bai Jiawei? I almost forgot I still had a servant in the Xuantian Sect."

Shaking his head slightly, Ye Qingxuan took a step and left the Qingxuan Blessed Land.

Outside, within the stone pavilion, three figures were already waiting for Ye Qingxuan's appearance.

These three figures were none other than the couple Hong Miaomiao and Bai Qingyun, and their daughter, Bai Jiawei.

Hundreds of years passed, and Hong MiaoMiao and Bai Qingyun's cultivation bases had advanced to the early stage of Soul Transformation.

Meanwhile, Bai Jiawei's cultivation base had only just barely reached the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

This Purple Mansion realm cultivation was only achieved for Bai Jiawei after Hong MiaoMiao and Bai Qingyun expended considerable resources.

Otherwise, given Bai Jiawei's talent, she would have been stuck at the Foundation Establishment realm for the rest of her life.

"Hehehe, Senior Sister Hong, Senior Brother Bai, long time no see!"

As soon as Ye Qingxuan appeared and saw Hong MiaoMiao and Bai Qingyun, he broke into a hearty, cheerful laugh.

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's voice and sensing that he had emerged from the Blessed Land,

Hong MiaoMiao and Bai Qingyun immediately went to greet him. Hong MiaoMiao smiled and spoke first:

"Junior Brother Ye, it has been a long time. You are still as dashing as ever!"

Behind the two, Bai Jiawei looked at Ye Qingxuan with some shyness and said:

"Greetings, Junior Uncle Ye!"

After all, Bai Jiawei's status in the Xuantian Sect was that of Ye Qingxuan's attendant.

However, after becoming an attendant, she had spent the following years traveling the outside world with her parents.

Seeing Ye Qingxuan again this time, she naturally felt a bit awkward.

Ye Qingxuan held no ill will in his heart; he simply smiled and nodded calmly at Bai Jiawei.

Then, looking at Hong MiaoMiao and Bai Qingyun, he shook his head slightly in response and said:

"Not at all. You two as a couple are far more at ease. Everyone, please sit."

Although Bai Jiawei had become Ye Qingxuan's attendant, she did not fall under his command or obey his orders.

She had not even stayed long on the mountain peak where the Qingxuan Blessed Land was located.

But this had been agreed upon long ago by Ye Qingxuan and the couple Hong MiaoMiao and Bai Qingyun. Moreover, Ye Qingxuan's nature was easygoing, and he did not mind such things.

Therefore, upon seeing Bai Jiawei again, he held no objections to her.

After exchanging pleasantries with Hong MiaoMiao and Bai Qingyun, Ye Qingxuan invited the three of them to sit in the stone pavilion.

Once the three were seated, Ye Qingxuan spoke first:

"I wonder, Senior Sister Hong and Senior Brother Bai, what brings you to seek out your junior brother this time?"
