Chapter 19 The Current Situation of the Rivers and Lakes

In addition to these things, Ye Qiuli also harvested a lot of refining materials produced by the earth itself. For example, the iron mother and copper mother found in the iron ore and copper ore veins, the earth fire iron and the earth's core iron found in the remnants of volcanic eruptions, and the mineral essences such as deep-sea sinking iron and netherworld cold iron found in prehistoric marine ruins after the vicissitudes of the sea are all very rare middle-grade refining materials, and the value of each one is far greater than the elixir he took out.

These superb spiritual materials, if ordinary people really want to find them, they may not be able to find them, and they can only be collected by countless ordinary people, like looking for a needle in a haystack in daily life, and finally as rare treasures, they slowly gather into the hands of individuals and organizations such as the royal family, the government, the big faction, and the gate valve, and become their collections or trophies, and then finally fall into the hands of cultivators who know the goods, and give full play to their due value.

This kind of thing is happening not only on Earth, but in any other hierarchical human society. Therefore, in the cultivation world, there are also many cultivators who maintain a good relationship with the ruling class of the secular world, either to protect the Dharma and suppress the country for them, or to accept their children and grandchildren as disciples, or to directly give low-level elixir magic weapons, cultivation exercises and other items, so that those people can cultivate on their own, the purpose of which is to take advantage of the huge population base of the secular world and easily obtain the rare heavenly and earthly treasures they want.

After all, no matter how powerful a single cultivator is, the efficiency of finding these rare materials is not comparable to the results that can be achieved by the aggregation of hundreds of millions of ordinary people. The crowd tactic, no matter where it is used, no matter what aspect it is used in, its power is unparalleled, and the cultivation realm is naturally no exception.

When Ye Qiuli auctioned the inferior elixir before, the reason why he thought of letting those bidders take out their own collections as bidding chips was also inspired by his peers in the cultivation realm, and he did it in a cat-like manner. Now it seems that the effect is far better than he expected, through an auction, the refining spirit materials he collected can almost be settled in units of 100 tons.

If this kind of thing were known to the cultivators of the cultivation realm, they would definitely have jealous eyes red and their hearts go crazy. In those secular countries in the cultivation realm, after countless predecessors scraping the ground layer by layer, it is already a very lucky thing for the younger generations of cultivators to be able to get three or five special spiritual materials a year, and sometimes it is normal to not get anything for several years in a row, where is it possible to harvest hundreds of tons of treasures at one time like Ye Qiuli.

This is also a special scene that will only appear after the earth cultivation world has already completely declined, and the spiritual materials accumulated for thousands of years have not been consumed, coupled with the population explosion in today's society, human beings' exploration of nature, whether it is breadth or depth, has been greatly improved, and the number of special items found by chance has also increased. If there are a few more auctions in the future, whether he can still collect so many things, even Ye Qiuli is not sure.

It's just that with such an unimaginably huge harvest, Ye Qiuli is already very satisfied, these things are enough for his needs for a long time in the future, even if it is very wasteful to use them as the main material to build his own spaceship. With the refining methods of cultivators, they can definitely maximize their value. Seriously calculated, he really made a lot of money this time.

Full of joy and excitement of a bumper harvest, after the major forces of the martial arts completed the settlement with him separately and returned to the nest with the elixir that he had bid for with all his might, Ye Qiuli also returned to his home with a heavy fortune, and officially began to implement the plan he had made before, preparing to build a spaceship that could help him carry out ultra-long-distance space travel based on the current technological level of the human world.

......

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, since Ye Qiuli held a unique and sensational martial arts pill auction conference on Wudang Mountain, more than 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye, if he strayed into the Fuyun Immortal Mansion and met Lu Yan, a cultivator in the Mahayana period, it would be a full 30 years, and he has also changed from a young man in his prime to an "old man" in his 50s, and has gone through the "most of the life" journey through ups and downs.

Yes, if calculated according to the level of normal human beings, the age of more than 50 years old has indeed reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and most of his life has basically passed, and there is not much time left. It's just that that's just a measure for ordinary people, and for cultivators who have a lifespan of hundreds or thousands of years, 30 years is just a snap of a finger, and maybe they spend so long in a single retreat that they don't notice anything special at all.

Although Ye Qiuli had not yet cultivated to the Yuan Infant Stage, which had a lifespan of thousands of years, he also had a long lifespan of 200 years after breaking through to the Enlightenment Stage early. 50 years old, it is only a quarter of life, about the same as the average person's 17 or 18 years old, it is the most youthful time in life, wonderful life has just begun, whether it is aging or death, it is still in the infinite future, do not need to take it to heart.

In fact, he really hasn't been taken to heart by Ye Qiuli for such a long time, he can still remember what happened 30 years ago, and now that he recalls it, he still remembers it vividly as if it was yesterday. From the time he was officially introduced by Lu Yan to the door of Xiuzhen, until this moment, the passage of 30 years has not brought any obvious impact on his life, and he even still maintains the young face of his 20s, just looking more mature and more majestic.

Immortality may not be called yet, but eternal youth really happened to Ye Qiuli. Although it has also attracted a lot of people's attention, but as time goes by, as his face becomes more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there are fewer and fewer people who are curious about his youth.

After all, who made him the only mythical master on the earth now, and after the martial arts legend Zhang Sanfeng, another legendary master, if something special didn't happen to him, everyone would feel strange. If one day he suddenly appeared in front of everyone with a gray-haired and aging face, I am afraid that everyone would be uncomfortable.

Yes, in the past 20 years, Ye Qiuli has never relaxed his cultivation, and with the support of spars and pills, it only took him 10 years to naturally break through to the Agility Period. If it is converted into the realm of martial arts, it is already a mythical realm, except for the realm of land immortals that Zhang Sanfeng once reached, the highest realm of martial arts cultivation, and the only person who has broken through to this realm in the past hundred years, with a lifespan of 300 years.

To be honest, when the news of Ye Qiuli's successful breakthrough came out, the entire martial arts was dizzy and couldn't help himself. Although the representatives of the major forces in the rivers and lakes had already been mentally prepared when they saw Ye Qiuli for the first time, they had already guessed that he would be able to advance to the mythical realm and achieve the legend of a generation of martial arts masters, but no one thought that only 10 years later, he would be able to break through again.

It's only been 10 years, and Ye Qiu at that time was only thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and ordinary martial arts masters of the same age were still swaying in the acquired stage, and even breaking through the innate realm was far away!

Afterwards, according to the gossip circulating in the rivers and lakes, after determining that the news was not an April Fool's joke, but a true reality, there were many acquired masters who had not broken through for a long time and couldn't stand the stimulation, and accidentally went mad in the process of cultivation. Fortunately, those innate masters were mentally strong and did not have any accidents, otherwise, Ye Qiuli would probably bring a wave of unbearable losses to the entire martial arts.

Of course, everything has its two sides, there are both sides and positives, Ye Qiuli's success, although some people are so frustrated that they give up on themselves, and they have completely sunk and collapsed, but it has also strongly encouraged a group of ambitious new martial arts cultivators, so that they can celebrate the arrival of a new era of vigorous development of martial arts, martial arts is about to turn a new page, and they can also hit the water in such a big era and lead the way.

These people are naturally the young talents carefully cultivated by the major forces over the years, and they are also the backbone of the new generation of various sect families. They are all young and vigorous, with high strength, not only excellent qualifications, but also extremely fast cultivation speed, not to mention that in this era when martial arts cultivation has been seriously declining, even if it is pushed forward for hundreds of years, in the ancient society where the martial arts world is still very prosperous, it is also an existence that cannot be underestimated.

Obviously, many of the pills that the major forces had bid for from Ye Qiuli had been used on them, and after twenty or thirty years of brewing, this false prosperity was finally born. It's just a little wrong with Ye Qiuli's guess that when the pill was auctioned off, he had concluded that at least 5 more innate masters would be born on the rivers and lakes, and the situation that caused a storm and turmoil did not appear, and it always seemed very stable.

In these years, except for the Dragon Group that it was rumored that two acquired masters had successfully broken through to the innate realm shortly after the end of the pill auction conference, and several young talents of the acquired advanced realm quickly emerged inside, the other top forces on the rivers and lakes that had auctioned the Dragon Tiger Pill and other top-grade elixirs have not moved, not only has there been no news of the birth of the innate master, but even the acquired master has not increased by a few people, as if it is completely no different from before.
