At this time, the spiritual sea in Jiang Yuan's body was expanding rapidly.
From its original size of thirteen zhang, it expanded rapidly and reached fourteen zhang in a blink of an eye.
The waves surged and the waves hit the outer wall of this small world.
The area of the spiritual sea continued to expand with this beating.
Fifteen zhang. Fifteen zhang fifty-six zhang. As time passed, the expansion speed slowly stopped.
Jiang Yuan also knew that the breakthrough was about to be completed.
After a long time, it finally stopped at a size of sixteen feet six.
Jiang Yuan felt that the capacity in his body had almost doubled, and he immediately showed joy.
However, when he thought about the fact that the resources consumed would have to double in order to break through from the third level to the fourth level, he suddenly felt a headache.
He now has more than 10,000 low-grade spirit stones left.
It is far from enough. It seems that I can only refine that half of the spiritual vein jade marrow.
Then he slowly opened his eyes.
I opened my panel and took a look.
[Name]: Jiang Yuan [Realm]: Spiritual Sea Realm Third Level
[Innate Luck]: Ancient Double Pupils (gold), Eternal Life (purple), Human Emperor Bloodline (purple), Peerless Intelligence (purple), Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body (purple), Five Elements Spirit Body (blue), Condensed Soul (blue), Sharpshooter (blue) [Power of Luck]: 836 strands
【Fortune Seed】: Intermediate Fortune Seed Then I saw Lu Qingshan in the front yard.
He glanced at Shu Xiaoxiao who was still practicing, and was suddenly surprised.
This little girl can actually practice for seven days without sleep. Her level of abnormality is no less than mine!
Then he stood up and quietly left his yard and came to the front yard.
"Greetings, Master!" Jiang Yuan bowed.
"No need to be so polite!" Lu Qingshan said with a smile, then looked Jiang Yuan up and down.
"I didn't expect you to be so abnormal. You managed to break through another realm in just seven days."
"If you have enough resources, I'm afraid you can break through the Spiritual Sea Realm in one or two years."
Jiang Yuan sighed slightly: "But even so, it will take another year or two to break through, provided that there are enough resources. Unfortunately, where can I get so many resources!"
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan felt a little headache.
Don’t think that he now only needs more than 30,000 spirit stones to break through to the third level.
However, judging from the requirements of the Spiritual Sea Realm, the resources required double with each breakthrough.
In this way, the resources needed to break through from the eighth level to the ninth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm are enormous.
He did a simple calculation and concluded that he would need more than two million low-grade spirit stones, plus the resources needed for the previous breakthrough. This number of spirit stones would empty the savings of an entire sect.
This may be the disadvantage of having a ninety-nine-foot spiritual sea when it is first formed. With a naturally deep foundation, the resources needed for subsequent breakthroughs will naturally increase.
However, the benefits it brings are also huge. The total amount of spiritual power is several times higher than that of practitioners at the same level.
The most important thing is that with a deeper foundation, we can go further in the future.
But back to the question, the resources required are enormous.
Lu Qingshan saw Jiang Yuan's worried face, and then said calmly: "This is not a big problem!"
Jiang Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at him and asked, "Master, what can you do?"
Lu Qingshan smiled faintly: "That spiritual stone vein has secured 30% of the future profit distribution for you!"
"Thank you, Master!" Jiang Yuan bowed happily.
"Don't thank me, you deserve it."
Jiang Yuan asked again: "Master, I wonder how much spiritual stone ore veins like this can produce in a day?"
"Based on the three spiritual stone veins we found before, the annual output is about 200,000."
"Why is the output so low?" Jiang Yuan raised a question that had been in his mind for a long time.
Lu Qingshan immediately explained: "There are two reasons!"
"First, for sustainable mining, we must ensure that the spiritual energy concentration of the spiritual stone vein is sufficient, so that the spiritual energy can be continuously gathered to produce spiritual stones, and the spiritual stone reserves will never be exhausted. Otherwise, excessive mining may cause the entire vein to lose its regeneration ability in a few decades."
"The second reason is that the spiritual stone is fragile and cannot be mined violently. Once its surface is damaged, the spiritual power inside will be lost."
"The combination of these two reasons resulted in a low annual output."
After listening to Lu Qingshan's explanation, Jiang Yuan fell into deep thought.
It is really generous to allocate 30% of the production to him.
But for him, this effect is limited, only 60,000 spirit stones a year. Thinking of the resources he needs for a breakthrough, he suddenly felt a headache.
Relying solely on the output of this spiritual stone vein, it would take him decades to break through to the Spiritual Sea Realm.
This speed is normal for others.
You must know that there are very few people under the age of fifty in Qianyuan Kingdom who can break through the spiritual sea.
Among those ranked on the Heavenly Ranking, only the top few were able to communicate with the Two Bridges of Heaven and Man and achieve the Divine Bridge Realm before the age of fifty.
A thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Yuan's mind.
Then he looked at Lu Qingshan and said, "Master, is this okay?"
"I will advance my share of spirit stones for 20 years in advance, and I will return 30% of the output of this spirit stone vein to the sect. Is this okay?"
Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Lu Qingshan was stunned.
"Are you short of cultivation resources?"
Jiang Yuan nodded: "Very short of resources! I want to achieve the Divine Bridge Realm as soon as possible, so I am very short of resources."
"If I have enough resources, I am confident that I can achieve the Divine Bridge Realm in one or two years."
Lu Qingshan fell silent for a moment. After a long moment, he slowly said, "Even if I come forward, I can't get you an advance of twenty years."
"There is already a situation of impending storm between the Qianyuan Imperial Family and the major sects."
"Some people even suggested that we try our best to mine the spiritual stone veins. If something unexpected happens, it would be better to destroy them than to leave them to the Qianyuan royal family."
"So no one will agree to it in twenty years, and we can't afford so many spirit stones now! It would have been fine in the earlier years!"
Jiang Yuan said: "Then the headmaster estimates how many years the advance will be made, and the other chiefs will agree."
Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Ten to fifteen years should be fine, the minimum is ten years, the maximum is fifteen years!"
Jiang Yuan immediately cupped his hands and said, "Then please ask the headmaster to do this for me. I am willing to return 30% of the share to the sect in exchange for a quota of spirit stones for ten to fifteen years."
"Okay!" Lu Qingshan nodded, and then said: "Tomorrow I will gather the heads of each peak and ask them to pay to buy this allocation. I believe there should be no problem."
"Thank you, Master!" Jiang Yuan bowed.
Lu Qingshan added: "If you want to quickly break through the Spiritual Sea Realm, then there is a place you must go to?"
Jiang Yuan was immediately curious and asked, "Where?"
"Lizhu Cave Heaven!"
"What place is that?" Jiang Yuan was suddenly confused.
"A real cave world, a complete cave world! You haven't heard of it!"
Jiang Yuan shook his head: "Please explain clearly, Master!"
Lu Qingshan then said, "Lizhu Cave Heaven is a cave heaven world left behind by a demon king after his death. There was once a dragon king whose favorite offspring died unexpectedly in the territory of Qianyuan."
"The Jiaolong clan contains the blood of true dragons, and it is extremely difficult for them to give birth to offspring. So after he became furious, he stirred up thousands of feet of sea water to rush into Qianyuan Country, slaughtering the people of several states to bury his offspring with him."
"He even stated that he wanted the entire Qianyuan Kingdom to be buried with his son."
Jiang Yuan immediately asked in confusion: "The Lord of Qianyuan is not his opponent?"
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but chuckle.
"You don't know how powerful the Demon King is, and he is also the Dragon King. Let alone the King of the country, even if everyone in the entire Qianyuan country attacks together, they will just die like ants!"
"What happened next? How did he fall when he was so powerful?" Jiang Yuan asked again puzzledly.
"What is the realm of a saint?"
Lu Qingshan shook his head: "I can't explain it. It is the existence of the condensed Dao Fruit, representing the essence of the human race."
"There was once a widely circulated saying that below a saint, everyone is an ant."
"If you have not attained the fruit of the sainthood, no matter how powerful you are, you are no different from an ant in front of a saint!"
"They represent the rules and principles. They speak the law and their words are followed by the law!"
"Lizhu Cave Heaven was also formed, and that saint used his great magical power to solidify it."
"Before he left, he left a message. Lizhu Cave Heaven will be kept here as a trial ground for young geniuses. It will be opened every ten years, and only those under fifty years old can enter."
"So from now on, only those under fifty years old can enter this cave, and no one can break the rules he set. This is the rule of the saint's mouth containing the law of heaven."
Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Jiang Yuan let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel longing.
Then he asked, "Master, why did this cave allow me to break through the Spiritual Sea Realm so quickly?"
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly: "Because there are countless opportunities in the cave world, and there are a lot of natural treasures. In a country like Qianyuan, it is difficult to find natural treasures, but it is different in Lizhu Cave Heaven. There are many thousand-year-old elixirs!"
"Once you enter, as long as you find some opportunities, you will be able to quickly accumulate the spiritual sea."
"It is precisely because of the requirements of the Lizhu Cave Heaven that the Heavenly Ranking came into being, and only geniuses under the age of fifty can ascend to the Heavenly Ranking."
After hearing this, Jiang Yuan was immediately delighted.
He remembered another effect of his panel, which was that he could consume the power of luck to discover opportunities.
I haven't found the so-called opportunity for a long time.
The reason for this is that there are no opportunities around me and I have no way to discover them.
But entering the Lizhu Cave is different. There are countless opportunities there. It is a real treasure land for me!
He immediately became interested and decided to go to this place.
But before that, the strength of those under the age of 50 in Qianyuan Country must be improved.
But with the existence of the Divine Bridge Realm, he is now completely unqualified to fight them.
Because the gap in realm is too big!
Lu Qingshan looked at Jiang Yuan's expression and knew that he was very interested in this.
So he said: "Lizhu Cave Heaven will be opened in nine months, and the demon tribe will also come here to participate. You should improve your strength as soon as possible. If everything goes well tomorrow, I will send you resources for cultivation!"
Jiang Yuan nodded: "Okay!"
After Lu Qingshan left, Jiang Yuan looked back at Shu Xiaoxiao and saw that she was still practicing.
Then he walked out of the mansion alone.
After a moment.
Jiang Yuan came to Qingyun Palace.
This is where Lu Qingshan lives, and also where his disciples live.
Gu Mo lived here. Jiang Yuan came to Gu Mo's residence and chatted with him for a while. He learned that his practice had been going very smoothly recently.
Moreover, he had previously gone out to carry out a sect mission and killed a cultivator who was eager for success and slaughtered several villages to practice evil skills. These villages all belonged to the territory of Taixuan Sect.
Jiang Yuan also collected some luck and power from him.
In one fell swoop, it reached 858 strands of luck.
Seeing that the power of luck was still more than half away from the target, Jiang Yuan prepared to collect the power of luck from Taixuan Gate according to the previous plan.
Guiding those misguided teachers and junior sisters and helping them to successfully tap their own potential would surely give his luck a surge.
Upgrade your luck and enhance your talent.
This is more important than practicing in seclusion for a few days.
If he could break through 2,000 strands of luck in one fell swoop, and then allow a blue innate luck to transform into purple.
In this way, talent will certainly be improved a lot.
This day.
Tianzhu Peak.
Jiang Yuan traveled all over Tianzhu Peak and found a disciple who had taken the wrong path. Because of his guidance, the man decided to practice gold-attributed skills.
As a result, Jiang Yuan also gained sixty-three strands of luck.
He looked at the growing power of luck on his panel, which suddenly reached 921 strands, and couldn't help but shook his head.
It’s too slow. This efficiency is too low.
Moreover, most of the disciples are either practicing in seclusion or going out for training.
Most of the roads have not gone astray.
For example, most of those whose constitutions belong to the five elements have embarked on the right path.
Then he thought for a long time and shook his head.
Forget it, if I had the time, I might as well continue practicing.
The current core growth still comes from those geniuses who possess the power of purple luck.
A genius with purple luck will have a wisp of luck power condensed on his body every day. Depending on their cultivation, they can accumulate between a dozen and fifty wisp.
A person with golden luck can gather ten strands of luck in a day.
However, he has now discovered that he and Shu Xiaoxiao have golden-level innate destiny.
Just at this moment.
A man came over, his body filled with golden aura.
This person is Xu Bai, another true disciple of Lu Qingshan.
Jiang Yuan went to Qingyun Palace several times but never saw him. He didn't expect to meet him on a mountain path today.
Jiang Yuan's mind moved, and the dense energy on his body was completely absorbed by him.
The power of luck on the panel also increased again, reaching 957 strands.
Seeing the growing numbers above, Jiang Yuan was immediately satisfied.
It has to be like this!
At this time, Xu Bai walked over with a smile on his face: "Hello, Brother Jiang. I didn't expect to meet Brother Jiang here today."
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet Brother Xu here. Brother Xu, did you just come back from outside?"
"Yeah!" Xu Bai nodded slightly, and then said: "I went back to the mortal world some time ago and fulfilled my last bit of filial piety."
When he said this, there was a flash of sadness in his eyes and he sighed slowly.
"From now on, I am truly free from all attachments in the mortal world! The people I feel most sorry for embarking on this path of cultivation are my parents!"
"It didn't bring them any inheritance, nor did it allow them to enjoy the joy of family life."
"Even the most basic care and funeral arrangements were only made to see the deceased to the grave!"
He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "It's like giving birth to this son in vain!"
Jiang Yuan didn't know how to comfort him, so he walked over and patted his shoulder: "My condolences!"
He looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "I feel better after talking about it. I'm going to report to Master first. We can talk later when we have time!"
"good!"
Jiang Yuan nodded, then watched him disappear into the trail.
Thinking of what he had just said, Jiang Yuan looked at the sky above his head and sighed slightly.
"You can still see them off to the end of their lives, but I can't even do that! I don't know how they are doing on the other side of the starry sky!"
He shook his head, dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind, and walked slowly towards the direction of his mansion.
