now that it had advanced to the second realm, it could quickly analyze the origin of second-realm spirit mines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the first-realm spirit mines that had not yet been analyzed by the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land were still useful to it, so the collection of various first-realm spirit mines could not stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price of second-realm spirit mines ranged from 500 to 1,000 low-grade spirit stones per square, an increase of about five times compared to first-realm spirit mines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan's main acquisition target had previously been various first-realm spirit mines, but now it had become various first- and second-realm spirit mines, causing his expenses to rise sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the short term, the burden on Ye Qingxuan was not great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the future, as the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land continued to grow, maintaining a rapid growth rate would require investing massive resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the current profit speed of the Tianfu Shop, it might not be able to support the expenses of the two money-swallowing pits, the Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about the huge future expenses, Ye Qingxuan pondered, \"It seems I must think of more ways to make money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ye Qingxuan had no ideas at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the limitations of his cultivation base, his four arts of cultivation could not be improved further for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, even if he improved them to the fifth-realm level, he could not possibly sell the products within the Xuantian Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he did not improve the level of his four arts of cultivation, he could only focus on quantity, which would undoubtedly delay his own cultivation time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was something Ye Qingxuan could not accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cultivated the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land for his own cultivation; he could not neglect his own cultivation just to help the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land earn resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to think of a solution, Ye Qingxuan shook his head and said calmly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well, fortunately there is still enough time; I will deal with it when the time comes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the current speed, it would take at least several hundred years for a second-realm Cave Heaven and Blessed Land to grow to the third realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a long time would be enough for him to break through to the Jin Dan realm and condense an external avatar; at that time, he could expand his market beyond the Xuantian Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Di Xuan Realm is so vast; at that time, he would not need so many worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he said this, Ye Qingxuan was not going to do nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that his cultivation base had reached the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, combined with the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land advancing to the second realm, its auxiliary effect on him had strengthened, so Ye Qingxuan prepared to forcibly cross two realms and attempt to refine a fifth-realm elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhao Heng, go to the market to purchase ten sets of spiritual herbs required for refining fifth-realm Gathering Infant Elixir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Ye Qingxuan transmitted the spiritual herbs needed to refine the fifth-realm Gathering Infant Elixir to Ye Zhao Heng through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Qingxuan's order, Ye Zhao Heng, who was cultivating at the foot of the mountain, respectfully replied, \"Yes, Young Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he rode his sword toward the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifth-realm Gathering Infant Elixir could help cultivators at the peak of the Jin Dan realm accelerate the process of condensing their Nascent Soul when breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm and increase their success rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, it was also one of the daily auxiliary elixirs for Nascent Soul cultivation, equivalent to the fourth-realm Solidifying Spirit Elixir for the Jin Dan realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifth-realm Gathering Infant Elixir and the fifth-realm Spirit-Enhancing Elixir were the two best auxiliary elixirs for Nascent Soul cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could increase the conversion efficiency of Nascent Soul cultivators' spiritual roots, while the other could accelerate the process of cultivators' spiritual power merging into their Nascent Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual herbs required for one set of fifth-realm Gathering Infant Elixir and one set of fifth-realm Spirit-Enhancing Elixir both cost 300 high-grade spirit stones per set, while the selling price was 400 high-grade spirit stones per pill. The reason they were so expensive was that after the Jin Dan realm, every realm was worlds apart, impossible to make up for with quantity, and the energy required was extremely vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the prices of fifth-realm and above spiritual herbs and materials saw a leap-like increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, elixirs above the fifth realm contained immense energy; a slight mistake could cause the furnace to explode, resulting in an extremely low success rate and a greatly reduced pill yield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, elixirs after the fifth realm were far more expensive than fourth-realm elixirs, and the higher the realm, the more outrageous the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the later stages of cultivation, very few people could afford to take elixirs daily to maintain a high-consumption cultivation method; basically, everyone relied on their own spiritual root talents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the reason why many with insufficient talents had no hope of breaking through to become high-realm cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast energy required was enough to make cultivators with low talents despair if they relied solely on their own accumulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like being in a desert where the oasis was clearly ahead, but one finally collapsed on the way there due to exhausted vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who truly reached the end—were they not all individuals with heaven-defying opportunities who changed their fate, transforming themselves step by step to finally reach the peak?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talent is important, yes; but for those great powers who reached the later stages, it is indeed not important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talent is important because in the early stages of cultivation, without talent and without heaven-defying opportunities, one simply cannot cross the threshold separating mortals from immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talent is unimportant because once one crosses the threshold and reaches a certain realm, a cultivator can completely perfect themselves, reshaping their foundation and talents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that realm, are they not all individuals of peerless talent and brilliance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True mediocrities collapsed long ago on the journey, never seeing the scenery of the upper levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, those who truly reach the absolute peak either possess heaven-defying opportunities that help them cross that threshold, or their innate quality, while not top-tier, is not too poor, allowing them to cross that threshold on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to reach the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ye Zhao Heng bought the spiritual herbs and returned, Ye Qingxuan began attempting to refine the fifth-realm Gathering Infant Elixir the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Ye Qingxuan's heaven-defying talent, the fifth-realm inheritance had long been thoroughly understood by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing to worry about was the massive spiritual power required during the refining process and the control over energy far exceeding his own realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last point was the most difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was his first time refining a fifth-realm elixir, Ye Qingxuan was not nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tempering the alchemy furnace, he began to extract the essence of the spiritual herbs step by step according to the method for refining Gathering Infant Elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process of extracting the essence of the spiritual herbs went very smoothly because this step only required sufficient fire control ability and did not consume too much mental energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan was no longer using the previous basic fire control technique; he was now using the advanced inheritance technique, the Nanming Fire Control Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nanming Fire Control Technique had different cultivation and casting methods ranging from a series of basic techniques to top-tier techniques, and could be advanced all the way to the level of divine abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that in the Earth Immortal inheritance, besides various series of divine ability seeds, divine ability prototypes, and minor divine abilities, other inherited techniques were basically also series that could all be advanced to the level of divine abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that inheritances that directly condensed divine ability seeds had much greater power in the early stages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the help of the Nanming Fire Control Technique, Ye Qingxuan's process of extracting the essence of the spiritual herbs went very smoothly, and he completed this step very easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the essences of various fifth-grade spiritual herbs, which floated within the alchemy furnace and radiated intense spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan did not hesitate and immediately began the process of fusing and shaping the elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1489,"2026-06-12T14:26:54.351Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","8258b7e8668a38d01faee1a1bc668803c890fc3ddec17d2b374776b75a0b8749","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-70","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-68",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-cover.jpg"]
