Boulder.

Half a month passed quietly.

In the underground spiritual spring, Su Ye sat cross-legged and ran the exercises every day.

The crystal clear, butterfly-like blue aura flowed around him, lingering with a sense of calm and distant, soothing the mind.

At this time.

The spiritual spring, which was originally ten directions wide and viscous as a slurry, had dried up ninety percent, and only one drop of the holy spring spiritual liquid remained, which was precarious, maintaining the survival of this spiritual spring.

The Spiritual Spring of Giant Stone City, the origin of nearly a thousand years of accumulation, was almost drained by Su Ye in this half a month!

"Hoo ......"

"A third-order spiritual spring, it's not enough."

Su Ye opened his eyes and shook his head, revealing a little unfinished.

Refining the spiritual spring of Giant Stone City has made Su Ye's cultivation a lot better, but ...... Still not yet reached the crystallization consummation!

"That's right......"

With a light sigh, Su Ye lowered his eyes slightly.

He was not surprised by this.

Reasonable.

In the late stage of crystallization, to the consummation of crystallization, the span between this is huge, which is equivalent to a small realm!

The only thing that would please the monk was ...... There is no bottleneck in this small realm.

- You can grind slowly and stay up for time to cultivate.

As long as it takes long enough, the later monks will always be able to cultivate to the fullness of crystallization...... Therefore, for ordinary monks, the state of 'perfection' belongs to a state of welfare.

"But for me, it's different......"

Su Ye sighed lightly.

In the crystallization realm, he has no bottleneck to speak of.

Between the later stage and the consummation realm, there is no bottleneck, and it is nothing at all.

On the contrary, he did not break through the bottleneck and brought about an overnight transformation of mana, which meant that he needed to cultivate this mana bit by bit.

"Probably...... Twenty years? ”

"Oh...... It's fourteen years now...... The spiritual spring of Boulder City has been worth six years of hard work. ”

There is also a difference in the amount of spiritual fluid accumulated between each third-order high-grade spiritual spring.

The spiritual spring of Megalith City is more abundant than that of Aino City.

"But the difference is not much......"

"I still need at least two third-order high-grade spiritual springs to quickly crystallize and ......."

Su Ye pinched his fingers and counted helplessly.

As Zhou Tian's mana, he cultivated to the perfection of crystallization, and he needed more spiritual power.

"Forget it, I can't help it."

Adjust your mindset.

The accumulation of mana does not happen overnight.

"At most...... Just a few more indigenous city-states! Su Ye narrowed his eyes, and a touch of yin appeared on his handsome face.

Suffer the natives of the Far South, and I will bear the infamy!

"Exactly...... Brush up on XP as well. ”

……

And in this half-month period.

In addition to refining the spiritual spring, Su Ye also completed another task.

That is: embed the fourth-order strange object [Earth Crystal Nucleus] into the Shadow Jiao Formation!

"My formation level, slightly improved?"

Su Ye was overjoyed, and his heart moved.

But.

After several failed refining.

Looking at the array plate that exploded all over the place, the array flag.

The corners of Su Ye's mouth twitched slightly.

He had to regretfully admit that he was still a small gap of 100 million points from the third-order late-stage formation mage......

Let's put it this way.

Su Ye estimated it and found out.

Judging from his current rate of progress, the time it would take to cultivate the Dao of the Formation to the late third order level might be ...... Longer than mana consummation.

"It's boring!"

"My generation of monks, we should take cultivation as the foundation of the realm!"

"Most of the high-level cultivators of the four arts of cultivating immortals are repaired after a higher realm."

Su Ye's face was expressionless.

The array materials were packed and stuffed into the deepest part of the storage ring space.

Out of sight is out of sight.

……

Then.

He got up and left the underground spiritual spring.

Go to the outskirts of Boulder City, start the test, implant the [Earth Crystal Nucleus], and obtain the third element, the changes to the Youjiao!

Splatter!

Heavy artillery roared, rock bullets roared.

In the distance, several pillars of dust rise!

See here.

Su Ye raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The increase in the power of the shelling is quite weak......"

After implanting the Earth Crystal Nucleus, the Youjiao has an additional type of cannonball, the Rock Bullet, which is on par with the basic blood flame bullet in terms of lethality.

The only thing that is commendable is that in the face of physical goals, it is better.

However, compared to the [Blood] and [Wind] dual elements, the plasma bomb formed.

The power of the rock bomb is far inferior.

Regardless of the target, the plasma bomb performs better than it.

But.

The element of the earth, the focus of strengthening, is not firepower.

It's armor!

After Su Ye's test and Kyaukjiao's feedback, after implanting the [Earth Crystal Nucleus], the armor protection of the Youjiao has increased by nearly sixty percent!

Simple and crude!

Stack armor!

The strong protection power made Su Ye quite satisfied!

In addition, the element of the earth, which is good at gravity manipulation, has also gained an increase in the reversal of the Yuan Magnetism of the Youjiao, which increases the effect and reduces the energy consumption!

In addition, it can also release a gravity field to suppress targets within a certain range and force the void!

However, according to Su Ye's actual test, the effect of this gravity field is relatively average, and fourth-order beings can almost ignore the effect.

Other words.

"Abuse for vegetables."

Su Ye commented.

The gravity field is released, which is the icing on the cake, or the real armor strength!

……

End of test.

Su Ye pondered a question.

"Speaking of which, that's the third element."

"Blood, wind, earth......" Su Ye muttered.

"How to choose the remaining three elements?"

"There are no restrictions in the requirements of the panel......"

But here's the thing.

This panel is pure mute.

Only requests will be made, as well as some simple information will be provided.

There is no mention of the impact of the selection of factors!

This made Su Ye a little hesitant.

In case of messing up the elements, when the spirit ship advances, it has an irreversible negative impact on the Youjiao, how can this be rectified?

"Should ......"

"Not really, right?"

Su Ye is embarrassed, this kind of thing is not easy to say.

"Hmm......"

"Let's be conservative in the choice of elements next."

"Earth, wind, just enough to make up 'earth, fire, water, and wind'!"

Su Ye pondered.

Four elements, five elements.

Constructing the foundation of the world, and laying the foundation with such basic elements, even if something goes wrong, it is impossible to go too wrong, and there is room for remedy.

……

End the test.

Su Ye returned to the city and continued to sit in the city-state and cultivate.

Even though the spiritual spring has dried up and the mana accumulation is slow, as a new land, in the area of Boulder City, the rules of the two realms are intertwined and float on the surface.

This makes it easier for the monks to understand the rules and cultivate the divine seed.

And just when Su Ye was immersed in his feelings.

The indigenous powerhouses of several city-states seemed to have received some kind of will and gathered at the borders of the city-states.

Meantime.

Inside Boulder City.

It seems to be calm, but ......

The strange plague that originated in the fog forest, decaying the body and growing branches, still spread at a slow, but irrepressible speed.
