Chapter 94

Time does not stay, the seasons flow like a stream!

In the days that followed, time passed by quickly.

During Ye Qingxuan's deep cultivation, spring departed and autumn arrived; time began to slip away inadvertently.

During this period, because the Tianfu shop no longer required Ye Qingxuan's concern, he reduced his elixir refining, freeing up quite a bit of time outside of his cultivation.

Therefore, in the following time, Ye Qingxuan had Ye Zhaoyu take a trip to the Xuantian Sect's Library Pavilion to copy many books back for him.

Although one can view the books in the Library Pavilion by pouring spiritual sense into the disciple token, Ye Qingxuan still preferred to read paper books.

Most of these books were unrelated to cultivation, but they could greatly increase Ye Qingxuan's knowledge and broaden his mind.

In the third year of his deep cultivation, Zhu Dafu sent the first batch of items acquired from the extraterritorial battlefield.

However, after Ye Qingxuan inspected this batch of items, he found that they were basically of little value and did not contain what he wanted.

But Ye Qingxuan was not discouraged; he let Zhu Dafu continue the acquisition, saying that sending them once every ten years would suffice.

In the fifth year of Ye Qingxuan's deep cultivation, Ye Qingxiao returned from the extraterritorial battlefield, bringing him quite a bit of First and Second Order demonic energy essence.

The reason Ye Qingxiao returned so early this time was that he had run out of his Nuclear Explosion Pills and had specifically come back to "fleece the rich" from Ye Qingxuan.

With the Nuclear Explosion Pills provided by Ye Qingxuan, Ye Qingxiao not only greatly increased his ability to save his life on the periphery of the extraterritorial battlefield, but his speed in hunting demonic creatures also became much faster.

However, this was also related to the fact that the current Azure Demon Clan had withdrawn from the extraterritorial battlefield, and the battlefield was temporarily in a period of peace.

The First and Second Order demonic energy essence obtained from hunting and killing provided little help to Ye Qingxiao after being sacrificed, so he brought it all to Ye Qingxuan.

As for whether Ye Qingxuan had a way to utilize this demonic energy essence, Ye Qingxiao hadn't thought that much about it at all.

Before leaving, Ye Qingxiao once again swiped a large bag of Meditation Tea leaves from Ye Qingxuan, along with over a thousand Third Order Nuclear Explosion Pills and over a hundred Third Order Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills.

This time, Ye Qingxiao was prepared to pull off a big job.

After Ye Qingxiao left, Ye Qingxuan looked at the bottles and jars of demonic energy essence he had brought and fell into deep thought.

Regarding this method of purifying demonic energy essence, Ye Qingxuan's Earth Immortal inheritance contained it.

First and Second Order demonic energy essence is, after all, not the world essence of the Azure Demon Realm.

Therefore, in the Earth Immortal inheritance, the Fourth Order Dongxuan Fudi Purification Array, arranged in combination with the Dongxuan Fudi, is sufficient to purify low-order demonic energy essence into pure primary source energy.

What Ye Qingxuan was pondering was the question of how to use the purified source energy.

This demonic energy essence from the Azure Demon Realm does not even count as world essence at the Small Thousand World level; it is merely energy containing a meager amount of world essence.

If Ye Qingxuan were to purify this demonic energy essence himself, the energy obtained would likewise not be pure world essence, but rather source energy mixed with world essence.

Although the quantity is large, this type of source energy cannot be directly integrated into spiritual power to improve one's cultivation base, unlike the world essence fed back after being directly sacrificed to the Di Xuan Realm.

First to Third Order demonic energy essence can be purified into primary-level source energy.

Fourth to Sixth Order demonic energy essence can be purified into intermediate-level source energy.

Seventh to Ninth Order demonic energy essence can be purified into high-level source energy.

Tenth Order demonic energy essence can be purified into top-level source energy; after top-level source energy is refined and concentrated, it can be comparable to true world essence.

The levels are different, and the concentration of world essence contained in the source energy is also different.

In the source energy purified from First and Second Order demonic energy essence, the world essence content is extremely low, just a sliver faster than Ye Qingxuan directly breathing in spiritual energy to cultivate himself.

The essence fed back from sacrificing demonic energy essence to the Di Xuan Realm, although small in quantity, is pure world essence, which can be directly integrated into spiritual power to improve one's cultivation base.

And this type of source energy that Ye Qingxuan purifies himself is just ordinary energy mixed with world essence, which requires him to absorb and refine it himself to improve his cultivation base.

Ye Qingxuan's current true cultivation base is late Purple Mansion; the effect of refining the primary source energy purified from these First and Second Order essences is not obvious.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan did not intend to use this primary source energy, which is thin in world essence content, to improve his own cultivation base.

As for pouring it all into the Dongxuan Fudi to upgrade the Dongxuan Fudi, if the quantity is too small, there won't be any very obvious effect either.

In the end, Ye Qingxuan prepared to use these First and Second Order demonic energy essences to purify pure primary source energy to nourish the Seventh Order spiritual plant seeds.

The growth cycle of Seventh Order spiritual plants is very long; the earlier they sprout, the better. However, relying solely on the primary source energy purified from these demonic energy essences, it is impossible to make all twenty-six Seventh Order spiritual plant seeds sprout.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan's goal this time is those three special Seventh Order spiritual plant seeds, not the twenty-three Seventh Order spiritual herb seeds.

After making up his mind, Ye Qingxuan instructed Ye Zhaoheng to purchase materials to prepare for setting up the Fourth Order Dongxuan Fudi Purification Array.

This type of purification array uses the dual heaven and earth power of the Cave Heaven and Dongxuan Fudi to wash the demonic energy essence, thereby purifying pure source energy.

After the materials were bought back, Ye Qingxuan spent three days setting up the Fourth Order Dongxuan Fudi Purification Array.

Subsequently, he placed the low-order demonic energy essence that Ye Qingxiao gave him into the purification array, bottle by bottle.

Although the Fourth Order Dongxuan Fudi Purification Array is extraordinary, it cannot compare to the Ninth Order sacrificial arrays set up by hegemon-level forces like the Xuantian Sect.

After all, a sacrificial array directly sacrifices demonic energy essence to the Di Xuan Realm; the Di Xuan Realm naturally does not need to spend much time purifying and absorbing mere demonic energy essence.

But Ye Qingxuan's current means, limited by his cultivation base, are ultimately still quite lacking.

It took a full three hours for all this low-order demonic energy essence to be purified into milky-white primary source energy with a faint golden glow.

The component with the golden glow is the world essence remaining in the energy, while the milky-white part is ordinary energy similar to spiritual energy.

If Ye Qingxiao were here, he would definitely cry out that he had lost out.

Because the Di Xuan Realm essence obtained by Ye Qingxiao after sacrificing demonic energy essence and receiving feedback was only about one-tenth of the world essence content in the source energy purified by Ye Qingxuan, directly missing ninety percent.

However, although the world essence in the primary source energy purified by Ye Qingxuan is greater in quantity overall, it ultimately cannot compare to pure world essence.

With Ye Qingxuan's current cultivation base, reaching this step is already the limit; there is no way to extract the world essence from the primary source energy.

Unless Ye Qingxuan can be promoted to a Seventh Order Alchemist, he will be unable to extract the essence from the source energy and refine it into Source Elixirs.

Only in this way can he rely on Source Elixirs to directly and quickly improve his cultivation base, but this is not something that can be achieved in a short time.

After obtaining the pure source energy, Ye Qingxuan took out the three special Seventh Order spiritual plant seeds.

Two of them were planted at the two nodes where the Qingxuan Cave Heaven breathes in chaotic energy, and the other one was planted at the spring eye of the spiritual spring.

It is called a spring eye, but after the Cave Heaven was promoted to the Second Order, the spring eye had long since become the size of a small pond with a radius of ten meters.

After planting them, Ye Qingxuan used the newly purified primary source energy to wrap around these three special Seventh Order spiritual plant seeds, slowly nourishing them and quietly waiting for the day they would sprout.

The reason these three Seventh Order spiritual plant seeds are special is that once they sprout, mature, and grow to the Seventh Order, they can be directly used as magic treasures.

The three Seventh Order special spiritual plant seeds are the Bai Lian, Purple Bamboo, and Armor Vine, respectively.

The Seventh Order Bai Lian, the lotus platform that falls off after maturity, can assist in cultivation and also possesses a certain defensive effect.

The Seventh Order Purple Bamboo, after being slightly refined upon maturity, can be used as a bamboo staff.

The Seventh Order Armor Vine, after being refined by a cultivator upon maturity, can transform into vine armor, with excellent defensive power.

And once these three spiritual plants grow to the Seventh Order, they are all existences comparable to Lower Grade Spirit Treasures.

Therefore, in terms of value, these three spiritual plant seeds far exceed the other twenty-three Seventh Order spiritual herb seeds.

However, likewise, for the Seventh Order Bai Lian, Seventh Order Purple Bamboo, and Seventh Order Armor Vine, wanting to cultivate them to the Seventh Order, not to mention the long time required for growth...

The resources consumed are also far beyond those of the twenty-three Seventh Order spiritual herb seeds, which is not something an ordinary force can bear.

At the very least, it is not something that a third-rate force like the Zhu Clan Trading Firm, which only has a Deity Transformation Realm expert sitting in charge, could cultivate.

After planting the Bai Lian, Purple Bamboo, and Armor Vine, these three Seventh Order spiritual plant seeds, Ye Qingxuan returned to his previous cultivation rhythm.

He was busy and happy between cultivating the Dongxuan Fudi and his own cultivation, completely ignoring the disturbances of the outside world.

However, in his spare time, drinking tea and enjoying the scenery in the stone pavilion remained an indispensable part of Ye Qingxuan's daily life.

That Third Order Meditation Tea tree of his, which had transformed before, now faintly showed signs of transforming again, and it was not far from the Fourth Order.
