Chapter 96

According to the previous contract.

Ye Qingxuan needs to hand over thirty percent of the value of the spiritual plants cultivated in the Dongxuan Fudi to the Ye Clan.

A normal Dongxuan Fudi cultivator within the Xuantian Sect can only plant about 3,000 First Order spiritual plants per year in a First Order Dongxuan Fudi.

Even if calculated at a 100% survival rate, a normal Dongxuan Fudi cultivator can only produce 3,000 First Order spiritual plants a year.

According to different quality and utility, the market price of First Order spiritual plants varies from 1 to 10 Lower Grade spirit stones.

Even if all are calculated at the highest 10 Lower Grade spirit stones, the annual output of a normal Dongxuan Fudi cultivator's First Order Dongxuan Fudi is only 30,000 Lower Grade spirit stones.

The clan's share of thirty percent of the output is 9,000 Lower Grade spirit stones per year, and 900,000 Lower Grade spirit stones over a hundred years; converted, that is 90 Upper Grade spirit stones.

But Ye Qingxuan is different.

His Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi is now Second Order; without affecting the growth of spiritual plants, a Second Order Dongxuan Fudi can plant at least 30,000 spiritual plants.

And because of the existence of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven, the Cave Heaven and Dongxuan Fudi complement each other, and the survival rate of spiritual plants has greatly improved, reaching a staggering 99%.

Coupled with the fact that the arrays Ye Qingxuan set up can continuously convert earth energy to provide sufficient nutrients for the spiritual plants, the constraints on spiritual plant growth are reduced.

A Second Order Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi can fully cultivate Fourth Order spiritual plants, greatly increasing their value.

Now, besides the small portion of First Order spiritual plants that need to be planted to complete sect missions, Ye Qingxuan's Dongxuan Fudi has other Second and Third Order spiritual plants accounting for about one-third of the proportion.

The rest are basically all Fourth Order spiritual plants.

Although the growth time of Fourth Order spiritual plants is much longer, the current cycle for the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi to cultivate ordinary Fourth Order spiritual plants is about 12 years.

But the market price of Fourth Order spiritual plants, according to different quality and utility, is about 90 to 900 Mid-grade spirit stones.

Their value is far from what First Order spiritual plants can compare to.

Although for the growth of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi, the types of spiritual plants Ye Qingxuan planted are very numerous, so their values vary.

But even so, accumulated over a hundred years, the value of the spiritual plants produced by the Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi is nearly one million Upper Grade spirit stones.

Therefore, according to the signed contract, Ye Qingxuan needs to give the Ye Clan 300,000 Upper Grade spirit stones this time.

Fortunately, Ye Qingxuan's Ninth Order Lei Yuanguo Tree, Seventh Order Bai Lian, Purple Bamboo, and Armor Vine are all planted in the Qingxuan Cave Heaven; otherwise, this total value would rise another step.

Although these special high-order spiritual plants are still a long way from maturity, after surviving, their value is not something ordinary Fourth Order spiritual plants can compare to.

"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore; at worst, I'll just say I earned it myself."

After making up his mind, Ye Qingxuan took out a sound-transmission talisman and sent a message to Ye Yu Hong: "Clan Head, the hundred-year deadline has arrived; you can come over to collect the Dongxuan Fudi share belonging to the clan."

After the message was sent, Ye Qingxuan returned to his own Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

Looking at the thriving Bai Lian, Purple Bamboo, and Armor Vine, Ye Qingxuan was very happy.

Now the seeds of the Seventh Order Bai Lian, Purple Bamboo, and Armor Vine have long since successfully sprouted and become seedlings.

After becoming seedlings, they can already absorb other energy to grow by themselves, without needing to be nourished by source energy anymore.

However, Seventh Order and above spiritual plants also condense source energy during their growth process, so their growth speed is extremely slow.

Now that decades have passed, the Ninth Order Lei Yuanguo Tree planted earliest, and the Seventh Order Bai Lian, Purple Bamboo, and Armor Vine, have only grown to the Second Order level.

Besides these four high-order spiritual plants, the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi has also been promoted to the mid-stage of the Second Order.

Although the area has not increased, the source of the Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi has become much more abundant.

In fact, with the large amount of First and Second Order spiritual minerals invested by Ye Qingxuan and the assistance of planting a wide variety of spiritual plants.

The elemental rules analyzed by the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi are already enough to let it grow to the peak of the Second Order.

The reason why the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi is only at the mid-stage of the Second Order now is that the speed at which the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi currently converts various energies into source is too slow.

Although there is the assistance of many large arrays set up by Ye Qingxuan, these can only increase the Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi's absorption of energy and cannot change the efficiency of source conversion.

Other excess energy is basically converted into earth energy and then absorbed by the various spiritual plants planted in the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi.

This is also one of the reasons why the spiritual plants in the Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi can cross the grade limit of the Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi and grow to the Fourth Order.

In an ordinary Dongxuan Fudi, there is not so much extra energy in the earth for spiritual plants to absorb.

After decades of exploration, Ye Qingxuan discovered that if he wants to shorten the source accumulation speed of the Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi and make the source of the Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi increase significantly.

Currently, there is only one way, which is to provide huge amounts of source energy containing source, or directly provide source for the Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi to absorb. Only in this way can the Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi grow rapidly and shorten the time for the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi to accumulate source.

Relying solely on the primary source energy purified from the demonic energy essence brought by Ye Qingxiao is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

In the short term, Ye Qingxuan also has no way to solve this problem.

Just as Ye Qingxuan was pondering, an excited roar sounded from not far in front of him:

"Roar!"

Hearing this sound, a hint of a smile flashed in Ye Qingxuan's eyes as he looked ahead.

He saw a small, young cyan flood dragon, having sensed Ye Qingxuan's aura, flying toward Ye Qingxuan excitedly.

After arriving at Ye Qingxuan's side, this small flood dragon circled Ye Qingxuan several times before starting to act coquettishly and spin around in front of Ye Qingxuan.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but smile and reached out to touch the small flood dragon's head.

Feeling Ye Qingxuan's touch, the small flood dragon's lively eyes immediately narrowed, and a look of enjoyment appeared on its beast face.

This cyan flood dragon is the Azure Dragon that Ye Qingxuan is raising by his side.

The current Azure Dragon has already grown to the peak of the Second Order, and its body length has reached about three meters.

Although the lifespan of spirit beasts is very long, the energy required during the growth process is also very huge.

Even with Ye Qingxuan's unlimited supply, the speed at which the Azure Dragon absorbs energy is limited.

Therefore, decades have passed, and the Azure Dragon has only grown to the peak of the Second Order.

Over these years, the Bloodline Elixirs Ye Qingxuan has given the Azure Dragon to take have never stopped, so the Azure Dragon often falls into deep sleep.

After the Azure Dragon was promoted to the Second Order, what Ye Qingxuan gave it to take were Second Order Bloodline Elixirs.

The Second Order Bloodline Fruit required for Second Order Bloodline Elixirs costs 1,000 contribution points per fruit; this value far exceeds the price of ordinary Second Order spiritual plants.

It can only be said that things are valued for their rarity; although Bloodline Fruits are only useful to spirit beasts and demon beasts, because of the particularity of their growth environment, the current quantity is too scarce.

Even Ye Qingxuan's Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi, without demon beast essence blood, has no way to cultivate Blood Trees and mass-produce Bloodline Fruits.

The contribution points required for Second Order Bloodline Fruits are naturally not something Ye Qingxuan can afford.

Fortunately, he is not short of spirit stones; after contacting Zhu Dafu, he had Zhu Dafu acquire Second Order Bloodline Fruits in the Tianfu shop, with the price directly marked up by thirty percent.

Only then was the continuous source of Bloodline Fruits guaranteed, providing enough Bloodline Elixirs for the Azure Dragon.

For the Azure Dragon, Ye Qingxuan has high expectations and is very much looking forward to the day it transforms into a dragon.

Besides the Azure Dragon, the ten Earth Spirit Turtles that Ye Qingxuan is free-ranging in the Qingxuan Cave Heaven are still at the peak of the First Order, and their growth speed is very slow.

As for the other Earth Dragons, Myriad Flower Spirit Butterflies, and Spirit-Storing Bees, their numbers have directly doubled in a few decades.

The reproduction speed of spirit beasts is really too slow.

Decades have passed, and now in the Qingxuan Dongxuan Fudi, there are only:

2,081 First Order Earth Dragons, 590 Second Order Earth Dragons, 56 Third Order Earth Dragons.

21,036 First Order Myriad Flower Spirit Butterflies, 9,986 Second Order Myriad Flower Spirit Butterflies, 963 Third Order Myriad Flower Spirit Butterflies, 391 Fourth Order Myriad Spirit Flower Butterflies.

1,623 First Order Spirit-Storing Bees, 5,982 Second Order Spirit-Storing Bees, 1,966 Third Order Spirit-Storing Bees, 3 Fourth Order Spirit-Storing Bees.

The Third Order Spirit-Storing Honey produced by the Third Order Spirit-Storing Bees is helpful to Ye Qingxuan's cultivation, but unfortunately, the yield is too low.

Now, the annual yield of the 1,966 Third Order Spirit-Storing Bees is only enough to maintain Ye Qingxuan's double cultivation speed for about two months.

As for the other 3 Fourth Order Spirit-Storing Bees, they were all promoted later, so their numbers are still very scarce and cannot play any role for the time being.

After soothing the Azure Dragon for a moment, Ye Qingxuan fed it some spirit stones.

Then he took it out of the Cave Heaven and came to the stone pavilion to quietly wait for Ye Yu Hong's arrival.

Ye Qingxuan did not restrict the Azure Dragon to the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Dongxuan Fudi; he would occasionally take it out for some fresh air, as long as the Azure Dragon didn't run too far.
