Chapter 10 Lichen Palace and Qixia Palace
In the past few days, with his mother Yu Yan taking care of him, Ye Ming's condition has improved a lot, and his injuries have healed.
At this moment, he was lying quietly on a rocking chair in the courtyard, but his mind was thinking about his next cultivation plan.
The purpose of the family's arrangement of the experience is to let the children of the family in the later stage of Qi cultivation come out and accumulate more merits, in the hope that they can exchange it from the family treasury to the Zhuji Dan for foundation building in the future.
It is also not an easy task to exchange Tsukidan from the family treasury, not only does it require 10,000 merits, but it is often out of stock.
The merits of the Ye family are calculated according to the spirit stones, and basically a low-grade spirit stone corresponds to a meritorious service, but basically no one in that clan is willing to exchange the meritorious service for the spirit stone, this is a loss-making transaction.
The role of family feats is very many, and the clansmen can not only use it to exchange for rare materials and martial arts books collected in the treasure house, but also can be used to issue emergency tasks.
Almost all immortal cultivators in the Qi cultivation period have a dream, that is, to build a foundation. How to obtain Tsukidan has become a problem that almost all low-level monks must face.
As the main realm-breaking elixir for Qi cultivators to break through to the Foundation Building Realm, with the assistance of Zhuji Dan, the probability of breaking through to the Foundation Building can be increased by as much as forty percent, and it is the elixir that immortal cultivators in the late stage of Qi cultivation dream of.
The elixirs needed to refine Zhuji Dan are all precious and rare heaven and earth elixirs, and even the essence blood of third-order demon beasts is needed as a medicine guide for refining Zhuji Dan.
It's a pity that with so many harsh conditions, a small immortal cultivator like the Ye family still doesn't have the ability to refine the Zhuji Dan.
At present, the spirit island where the Ye family is based is called Moyu Island, which is a small spirit island with a radius of nearly 100 miles.
There is a small spiritual vein on the main peak of the Spirit Island, Moyu Peak, and there are many low-level elixirs planted on the entire island, which are lush and lush, like a piece of dark green jade. Coupled with the surrounding seven or eight miniature reefs, from a distance, the archipelago looks like a necklace under the blue sky and white clouds.
Moyu Island is famous for its abundance of black jade, which is the main spiritual material for refining runic ink. Runic ink and beast blood are also necessary for drawing basic spirit runes. Therefore, it has a very important strategic value.
The previous Moyu Island Lord was besieged by several demon beasts in a small beast tide and fell, and the Ye family got the news and almost used all the strength of the whole clan to occupy this island.
In order to clear the remaining demon beasts on this island, the Ye family never took advantage of it, and once suffered a great loss of vitality, not only lost three clansmen in the foundation building period and fifteen clansmen in the late stage of qi cultivation, but also experienced a period of embarrassment.
The Ye family worked hard to occupy Moyu Island in order to be able to obtain the Zhuji Dan from the Lichen Palace, which ruled the island.
The Lichen Hall has been inherited for more than 1,000 years, and it is a small sect of cultivating immortals founded by the Lichen Sanren and his Taoist companions in the middle of the Yudan.
In the past, the two masters who founded the Lichen Temple have long since become ancient, and the power of the sect has expanded several times, and his disciples are now also a Taishang elder in the middle of Jindan, and there are seven elders of the Purple Mansion realm under his command, and there are dozens of deacons who build the foundation, and the number of Qi cultivation disciples under the door has reached thousands, and it has become a medium force in the Ten Thousand Star Sea Region, with more than a dozen small immortal cultivation families like the Ye family under its jurisdiction.
Because the Lichen Palace has mastered the refining method of Zhuji Dan, the Ye family has to undertake certain tasks if they want to obtain the Zhuji Dan from the Lichen Palace, such as regularly cooperating with the Lichen Temple to hunt demon beasts, regularly cooperating with the disciples of the Lichen Temple to carry out the coastal defense tasks of the defense area, and regularly handing over one-third of the spiritual minerals on the Spirit Island, etc.
Of course, the Ye family and other forces that are attached to the Dust Separation Hall are not completely at the mercy of the Dust Separation Palace, if they really encounter a major matter related to their lives, they will not be able to be loyal to the Dust Separation Palace, and they will only lose a spirit island, and it is impossible to accompany the lives of the entire clan.
In fact, all the small forces attached to the Lichen Palace knew that the Lichen Temple needed the spiritual island they occupied to defend the Lichen Palace, and the small forces wanted to get the protection of the Lichen Palace and build the Jidan, so everyone took what they needed.
Every time the Lichen Temple released the news of hunting a third-order demon beast, most of the vassal families and the high-level Qi Cultivation and Dispersion Cultivators who needed to build the foundation would rush one after another to compete for merit.
This typical scene of wolves with more meat and less meat once made the immortal cultivators who had no chance to get Tsukidan very helpless.
Tsukidan is limited, and the Dust Hall has set up some conditions for exchanging Tsukidan, as long as you meet the requirements, you can also get a Tsukidan at any time.
It's just that these conditions are very harsh for immortal cultivators in the Qi cultivation period, and even immortal cultivators in the foundation building period will be dumbfounded when they see it.
For example, in terms of exchanging treasures for Tsukidan, the value of the treasure itself far exceeds that of Tsukidan.
Which immortal cultivators who need to build the foundation are angry and dare not speak out about this kind of wealth accumulation in the Lichen Palace, and in order to build the foundation pill, they can only bow low and be small, pinching their noses and admitting it.
This approach of the Lichen Hall is much better for his disciples, and he will not be so exploited. These two methods that are different from inside and outside are not separated from the Dust Palace, and the entire immortal cultivation world is basically using this method.
However, although the Lichen Hall is powerful, it is only relative to a small clan like the Ye family. The overlord who really dominates this sea area is a big force called Qixia Palace, as for the power that is bigger than Qixia Palace, it is not something that a person at the level of Qi cultivation like Ye Ming can know.
It is said that the ancestor of Qixia Yingfan has a great deal of mana, a high level of cultivation, and a strength that reaches the sky, and is a living immortal who has lived for more than a thousand years. Qixia Palace also has a sphere of influence of 100,000 miles of sea because of this ancestor of the Yuan Infant Realm, and the immortal cultivators in this sea area are grateful for the kindness of Qixia Ancestor and call this sea area Qixia Sea.
Qixia Palace's jurisdiction over Qixia Sea was more lenient, except for the six medium-sized spirit islands and eighty-one small spirit islands within three thousand miles of its direct jurisdiction, the other islands were occupied by the vassal forces under its protection.
Generally speaking, the ownership of medium-sized spirit islands in Qixia Sea has not changed much in the past few hundred years, but it is inevitably a little dirty.
Everyone wants to live a better life, resources are limited, and if you live well, it means that others are not happy. After the decline of many old powers, there are new ones.
There are many people, and the battle ensues, and the rise and fall of the sect and the family is inevitable, as long as this kind of thing does not affect the core interests of Qixia Palace, Qixia Palace is too lazy to care. As long as the final winner reports to Qixia Palace and provides on time, it will not affect the income of Qixia Palace, even if it is over.
Just as Ye Ming was pondering, Ye Yuanli appeared outside the courtyard gate.
"The virtuous nephew is really good Yaxing!"
Yuan Li heard that Ye Ming had recovered, so he came to visit him.
"My nephew has seen the fourth uncle!" Ye Ming retracted his thoughts and hurriedly got up to salute!
"Our uncle and nephew don't have to talk about these false reasons, hehe, the virtuous nephew recovered quite quickly. Thanks to you for this trip, those clansmen will accept your affection! Yuan Li waved his hand, then looked Ye Ming up and down, nodded and smiled.
Ye Ming laughed dryly twice, and said with a sneering face: "Fourth uncle, it's the first time I've worked for the family when I'm so old, and I have to be carried back by everyone, it's not a joke." ”
Yuan Li's expression was solemn, his face sank, and he feigned anger: "Joke? Who dares to laugh at you. ”
"Okay, Uncle Nine said, if you want to heal your injuries, go to him, he has something to tell you. This set of misty misty array will be returned to you, I really didn't expect that you kid would become a formation mage again without saying a word, amazing! By the way, you are the Wind Spirit Root, and there are some black wind carvings in it, which may be useful to you, and there is no magic weapon in the clan that you can use, this time you have made a great contribution, and it can be regarded as a reward for you. Yuan Li sighed with emotion, and handed Ye Ming a gray storage bag as he spoke.
Ye Ming took the storage bag, didn't look at it, pinned it to his waist, and asked casually: "Fourth uncle, my nephew has a doubt, what do you think of our encounter with the Black Wind Eagle Group this time?" ”
Ye Yuanli sighed and said: "Your eighteenth uncle Yuanhard used a low price to find a magic robe, I thought I took advantage of it, but who knew that someone had done it on it, and the corners were not only smeared with egg whites carved by the black wind, but also some feathers hidden in the silk threads in the seams of the robe, unfortunately he had already fallen, and the clues had basically been broken...... Cough... I thought the patriarch had arranged it, but I didn't expect it to go wrong in my hands. I estimate that this matter is related to the Mei family nine times out of ten, maybe it is the bureau they did, our family has been prosperous over the years, the former peace has passed, and there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. ”
Ye Ming frowned slightly: "Can't we counter them?" There are also many families who marry with us? It has been more than ten years since the old ancestor was promoted to the Purple Mansion, what are you still worried about now? ”
Ye Yuanli shook his head and said: "It's too early to tell you this, I know you have a lot of ghost ideas, your realm is not yet yet, it's useless to say it, build the foundation as soon as possible!" ”
Ye Ming nodded, taking the fall of the Eighteenth Uncle Yuan bitter in his heart, and then he took the opportunity to ask the fourth uncle some questions about spells.
