The leaves of the Tianmo Luo clan's Golden Soul Ancient Tree were certainly not given away for free. Lu Yuan's disciple Jiang Ming had fought with many of his peers in the Tianmo Luo clan in the past month and was quite famous within the clan.
Naturally, this matter could not escape the ears of the Tianmo Luo clan's top leaders, and it also made them refresh their understanding of Lu Yuan.
This person is not only powerful himself, but also good at training disciples. None of his disciples are weak.
Therefore, the things that the Tianmo Luo clan sent were not only a favor to Lu Yuan, but also an attempt to win over Lu Yuan's disciples.
Although the leaves of these ancient golden soul trees are precious within the Tianmo Luo clan, they can still be obtained.
Lu Yuan would have accepted them if he hadn't accepted them. Since they had given them to him, he accepted them all.
Patriarch Feng Wu exchanged a few more pleasantries.
Lu Yuan also asked him about the extraterritorial pot crystal. When they talked about the puppets of Tianmo City, Lu Yuan also asked about the raw materials.
The Tianmo Luo tribe is a large tribe in the outside world. If the tribe stores a large amount of outside pot crystals and some other materials for refining puppets, Lu Yuan doesn't have to go out and get them himself.
"Hu Jing, is this thing one of the materials for refining the Demon City puppet? That would be a bit troublesome."
Patriarch Feng Wu explained, "Although Hu Jing isn't particularly precious outside the domain, it's extremely difficult to mine due to its unique properties. Furthermore, it's not particularly useful other than being hard. In our Outer Sea, we only mine some of it when casting buildings and mix it into building materials to enhance their hardness."
As a peculiar mineral from outside the domain, Hu Jing has extremely terrifying hardness, which is why it is difficult to mine.
Although it has its own special features, many large tribes are unwilling to spend a lot of effort to mine it. This is because it is too difficult to dig, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is not irreplaceable.
As a large tribe in the outer sea, the Tianmo Luo tribe does have some pot crystals stored in its inventory, but the quantity is not large. It is definitely far from enough to reach the amount Lu Yuan wants.
Patriarch Feng Wu did not expect that a large amount of pot crystal ore would be needed to refine the puppet of Tianmo City. This was indeed beyond his expectations.
But he soon figured it out. It had been rumored that the Tianmo City tribe had spent a lot of effort to mine Pot Crystal ore, but outsiders didn't know what they used it for. Many cultivators from outside the domain even thought that their tribe's special skills required Pot Crystal to practice.
This seems to explain it. It turns out that those pot crystals are not used for cultivation, but for refining puppets. No wonder Tianmo City is collecting things that other tribes have discarded.
However, without the method to make the Demon City puppet, it would be useless even if we knew that Pot Crystal was the main material for refining the Demon City puppet.
But now that Lu Yuan has mastered the method of refining the puppets of Tianmo City, the situation is very different.
The Tianmo Luo tribe also has to mine the pot crystal to supply Lu Yuan to refine the puppets of Tianmo City.
Patriarch Feng Wu said, "I understand. I'll take care of the Hu Jing matter."
Mining the pot crystals to allow Lu Yuan to refine the puppets of Tianmo City is not only Lu Yuan's own business, but also the business of their Tianmo Luo clan.
After all, the power of the puppets of Tianmo City is very famous outside the domain. The number of members of the Tianmo City tribe is small, but the strength is extremely powerful. The fundamental reason why they can be ranked among the top three of the 36 major tribes outside the domain is because of their puppets.
If the Tianmo Luo tribe also mastered the method of refining the Tianmo City puppets and cultivated a group of powerful puppets like the Tianmo City tribe, surpassing the Tianmo City tribe would be a piece of cake.
Patriarch Feng Wu said goodbye and went back to discuss the matter with other ancestors.
After Feng Wu left, Lu Yuan took out the things Feng Wu brought.
First of all, there is a box of leaves from the ancient Golden Soul Tree. The efficacy of this thing cannot be compared with that of new branches, but it still contains extremely powerful spiritual power.
Lu Yuan took out a leaf and looked at the strange patterns on it. He tried to refine it.
After refining a leaf, Lu Yuan really felt a very pure spiritual power injected into his soul.
What the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect said before turned out to be true. This ancient Golden Soul Tree is indeed one of the innate spiritual roots in the world outside the domain, and its effect is indeed remarkable.
Just a leaf did indeed strengthen Lu Yuan's spiritual power, which was equivalent to the effect of a thousand years of hard practice.
But this amount of energy is still not enough for Lu Yuan.
If Lu Yuan was an ordinary Golden Immortal, the leaves of the Golden Soul Ancient Tree would have a miraculous effect on him. Unfortunately, Lu Yuan's spiritual power has always been stronger than his physical cultivation.
Although he is at the Golden Immortal realm, the power of his soul is comparable to that of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
Therefore, the leaves of the Golden Soul Ancient Tree, which can match the thousand-year-old hard training, have a relatively weak effect on him. Of course, a weaker effect does not mean that there is no effect. In fact, strictly speaking, the effect is still very significant.
However, it would be difficult to help Lu Yuan advance to the next level, unless he refined thousands of leaves of the Golden Soul Ancient Tree in one breath, which of course was impossible.
Let’s not talk about whether the Tianmo Luo clan has such a stock of thousands of leaves from the ancient Golden Soul Tree. Even if they do, the Tianmo Luo clan cannot give them all to him. They would not dare to do so even in their dreams in broad daylight.
It’s better to keep this leaf for Xiao Huang and the others. It’s actually a bit of a waste for Lu Yuan to use it. It’s not particularly effective for him.
What Lu Yuan really valued was the million-year-old new branch of the Golden Soul Ancient Tree, which was packaged in an extra box made of Chaos Gold.
He opened the Chaos Gold box again, caressing the icy-cold Chaos Gold. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Such an amount of Chaos Gold is an astronomical figure. The spiritual power and blood energy contained within it are terrifying. The Tianmo Luo clan is truly generous, giving me such a large piece of Chaos Gold directly."
In fact, Lu Yuan originally thought that Feng Wu would take the Chaos Golden Box back. After all, the box itself was a priceless treasure. However, he did not expect that the other party would give him the Chaos Golden Box and the million-year-old new branch together.
Lu Yuan felt a little embarrassed, but free things are always good. Since the other party was willing to give it to him, there was no reason for him not to accept it.
Putting the Chaos Golden Box aside for the time being, Lu Yuan focused on taking out the new branch of the Golden Soul Ancient Tree.
This thing is the most important thing, it is the real treasure of the Tianmo Luo clan.
Originally, with his identity and strength, it was impossible for him to obtain something like the million-year-old new branch. After all, first of all, he was not a native member of the Tianmo Luo tribe. Although he had some value to the Tianmo Luo tribe, it was impossible for the Tianmo Luo tribe to give him such a precious thing without making any contribution.
And even if Lu Yuan made a contribution, this thing would not be available just by wanting it. This time, it was actually due to the help of the puppet of Tianmo City. The value of the puppet of Tianmo City was much more important outside the domain than Lu Yuan imagined.
Because Lu Yuan said he could refine the puppet of the Demon City, he was directly recognized by the saint, who set a precedent by bestowing this million-year-old new branch, which could be regarded as strengthening Lu Yuan's soul.
Now that the million-year-old new branch is in his hands, Lu Yuan looks at it carefully.
"This thing is indeed much more powerful than the spiritual power contained in the previous leaves. It is simply the difference between the bright moon and firefly."
The spiritual power contained in the new branches is inexhaustible, while the power contained in the leaves of the ancient Golden Soul Tree is too weak in comparison. One can imagine how much one's spiritual power would expand if one could refine the new branches for one's own use.
"If I refine this new branch, perhaps my spiritual power will break through the Daluo Jinxian realm ahead of time and reach the Quasi-Sage realm."
It is not impossible, but before that, Lu Yuan needs to upgrade his Demonic Death Sutra first.
According to Patriarch Feng Wu, the Golden Soul Ancient Tree and the Demonic Death Sutra were both products born from the chaos outside the domain. There was a failure rate in refining the new branches of the Golden Soul Ancient Tree. Before this, their Tianmo Luo clan had already tested it.
The New Branch and the Demonic Death Sutra have a symbiotic relationship. The higher the level of cultivation of the Demonic Death Sutra, the higher the success rate of refining the New Branch.
If the new branches of the Golden Soul Ancient Tree are like a sapling, then the cultivation realm of the Demonic Death Sutra is like a fertile soil in the human soul.
Only when the soil is fertile and wide enough can the new branches of the Golden Soul Ancient Tree be transplanted and survive.
The requirements for the million-year-old new branches are particularly strict, so Patriarch Feng Wu suggested that Lu Yuan should raise the level of the Demonic Death Sutra to the seventh level before refining it, so that the success rate will be higher.
Lu Yuan held the new branch in his hand and pondered in his mind.
"The seventh level of the Demonic Death Sutra can increase the success rate of refining million-year-old new branches. If I cultivate to the eighth and ninth levels, the success rate will definitely be even higher.
That Feng Wu Patriarch also didn't say what the success rate of refining new branches is after practicing the Demonic Death Sutra to the seventh level..."
Lu Yuan was unsure.
After all, the new branches of the million-year-old Golden Soul Ancient Tree are too precious. Getting them this time is a precedent that the Tianmo Luo clan has never had in tens of millions of years.
If I fail to refine this million-year-old new branch in my hands, wouldn’t that be a huge loss for my entire family?
Lu Yuan was counting on this thing to help him elevate his spiritual power to the quasi-saint realm ahead of time, so of course he was unwilling to take any risks.
Although Patriarch Feng Wu suggested that he refine the Demonic Death Sutra after it reached the seventh level, he did not specify the specific success rate.
It is possible that Lu Yuan only has a 50% success rate in refining it now, but this success rate will increase to 60% when he upgrades to the seventh level of the Demonic Death Sutra. If this is true, Lu Yuan feels that the risk is still too great.
After all, what’s the difference between a 60% success rate and giving it for free?
The slightest mistake would mean all the previous efforts would be wasted. He absolutely could not accept this success rate.
So to be on the safe side, Lu Yuan decided to practice the Demonic Death Sutra all the way up. Anyway, he would have to stay in the Tianmo Luo clan for a long time, so it didn't matter where he practiced.
Improve this Demonic Death Sutra to the limit you can reach and then refine the new branches to maximize the success rate.
There was no 100% success rate, so Lu Yuan was still worried. Therefore, he did not want to adopt the advice of Patriarch Feng Wu and decided to concentrate on practicing the Demonic Death Sutra first.
So for the next period of time, Lu Yuan secluded himself in the Tianmo Luo clan and began to comprehend the Mo Luo Death Sutra.
Also, because he is now in the Tianmo Luo clan, if Lu Yuan encounters some things he doesn't understand or can't comprehend when he is comprehending the Mo Luo Death Sutra, he no longer needs to grope around on his own and work behind closed doors.
Because there are several quasi-saints within the Tianmo Luo clan, and all of them are practicing the Mo Luo Death Sutra, Lu Yuan can just go directly to them to discuss the Dao.
The quasi-saints of the Tianmo Luo clan were not very adaptable at first. After all, Lu Yuan was an outsider. It was normal for them to feel uncomfortable when an outsider came to practice their Tianmo Luo clan's Demonic Death Sutra and discuss the Dao with them. But soon, in the process of discussing the Dao with Lu Yuan, they gradually discovered that Lu Yuan had a different understanding of the Demonic Death Sutra, which was quite surprising.
In the process of discussing Taoism with Lu Yuan, even several quasi-saints gained some new insights. Over time, these quasi-saints went from being reluctant at the beginning to even actively seeking out Lu Yuan to discuss Taoism.
Naturally, these quasi-saints had much richer insights into cultivation than Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan could also gain a lot of benefits when discussing with them.
Only half a month later, Lu Yuan completed the breakthrough from the sixth level to the seventh level of the Demonic Death Sutra. According to Patriarch Feng Wu, Lu Yuan in this state could actually refine the new branch of the million-year-old Golden Soul Ancient Tree.
But Lu Yuan was not in a hurry. He felt that he could still make more progress.
Two months later, he broke through to the eighth level. His speed of advancement and his comprehension and development of the Demonic Death Sutra amazed the quasi-saints of the Tianmo Luo clan.
Because no one knows better than them how difficult it is to practice this technique. It took them countless years to reach their current level of perfection, but Lu Yuan easily reached the level that they had to practice for thousands of years. The difference between people is really greater than the difference between people and pigs.
But they couldn't help but accept it, because this was talent. There was no shortage of geniuses in this world, and Lu Yuan was one of the top geniuses among geniuses. There was no need to be jealous of him.
After breaking through to the eighth level of the Demonic Death Sutra, Lu Yuan seemed to have seized some opportunity. He stopped discussing the Dao with the quasi-saints of the Demonic Death Clan and chose to go into complete seclusion.
Without being disturbed by anyone, Lu Yuan devoted himself to the study of the Mara Death Sutra.
Three hundred years passed like this. During these three hundred years, the Tianmo Luo clan had even chosen the saint who would marry Lu Yuan, but he had not yet come out of seclusion.
But the quasi-saints of the Tianmo Luo clan had no choice. After all, Lu Yuan was in seclusion and they couldn't disturb him at this time. They could only wait.
While in seclusion in the cave, Lu Yuan's soul had undergone earth-shaking changes.
During these three hundred years, he devoted himself to comprehending the ninth level of the Mara Death Sutra. Initially, he thought that after comprehending the Mara Death Sutra to the ninth level, he would be able to reach perfection and the ultimate.
But after touching the threshold of the ninth level of the technique, Lu Yuan realized that he was wrong.
Because he stepped over this threshold, he saw a new world.
This Mara Death Sutra seems to have no limit, nor is there any true perfection. (End of this chapter)
