Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 37 Getting ready to go back
for the rest of the time.

Qingniu and Yidong traveled back and forth between the Lotus Spirit Pond and Giant Wave Island, moving the formation materials to the Lotus Spirit Pond bit by bit.

It took Yidong a lot of time just to move the materials.

Because some magical instruments are huge in size, they can be moved one at a time.

It's not that the green ox can't carry heavy loads, but its ability to evade underground is not strong enough, so it can't carry too many things underground.

A blue ox cannot carry materials alone.

But the blue ox is a spiritual beast, not a human, and the laws of the fairyland do not provide strong protection for spiritual beasts.

If a young and ignorant person saw a green ox carrying a large amount of materials, he would rob it or even kill it to silence it.

Even if Yi Dong finally found the culprit with the help of official power, he could not use human life to pay for the life of a cow.

Of course, the life of the blue ox is not the key.

But Chilong made it clear that its water escape technique could not carry Yidong back to the ground.

In this case, if Qingniu died in the Li River, it would be fine for Yidong on Julang Island, but if he died underground, then the rest of his life might really be bleak.

This is because he cannot dig through the earth and return to the surface, and it may take a thousand years for the Chilong to grow to adulthood.

After a thousand years underground, Yi Dong's lifespan was almost exhausted, and it was completely useless for him to use ancient cultivation methods to reach the golden elixir stage.

Therefore, it took more than three years to transport the materials, and more than two years to arrange, adjust, and debug the formation.

In a flash, another six years have passed.

Twelve years have passed since Yi Dong came to Lijiang.

It has exceeded the twenty years agreed upon with Dongfanghong.

this day.

Yi Dong activated the formation of the Lotus Spirit Pond.

As the formation operates.

The spiritual vein of the Lotus Spirit Pond was like a reservoir with the floodgates opened, and rich spiritual energy gushed out.

Soon, the spiritual energy concentration in some areas reached the fourth level. As long as time was sufficient, some areas could even reach the spiritual energy concentration of the fifth level spirit veins.

"Okay, the formation is ready.

Relying on this formation, it may even be enough for you to advance to the level of a spirit.

Remember, cultivate the earth lotus well.

If there are not enough earth core lotus seeds, especially the lotus seeds of the earth core green lotus.

I will not help you repair the formation from now on."

Yi Dong said lightly.

The dragon and the ox listened very carefully.

While this formation is powerful, it is also quite troublesome to maintain.

After all, the body of the green ox is not a human body, and many spells developed by humans are beyond the ability of its ox body to learn.

In the formation, there are some magical weapons that this cow cannot maintain for the time being.

Therefore, Yidong and Chilong agreed that Yidong would come over every ten years or so to maintain the formation and collect the Earth Core Lotus.

Not only the Earth Core Lotus, setting up this formation will slowly create a growth environment for many spiritual plants.

In the future, Chilong will slowly cultivate more spiritual plants and obtain various external resources through transactions with Yidong.

Yi Dong has researched the effects of the Earth Core Green Lotus seeds.

The earth lotus usually grows for three hundred years, then bears fruit and withers.

However, if the lotus seeds are not picked, the withering speed of the lotus stems will slow down.

During this process, the lotus stem of the earth lotus has a certain possibility of reabsorbing the essence from the lotus seeds into the lotus stem, thus giving the earth lotus a new lease of life.

This process is full of uncertainty, and perhaps not one out of a hundred earth lilies will show signs of recovery.

However, after the Earth Core Lotus is revived, it is possible for it to mutate into the Earth Core Blue Lotus. After the Earth Core Lotus seeds are harvested, the lotus stems will not wither. At this time, the Earth Core Blue Lotus already possesses certain characteristics of a tree-based spiritual plant.

Therefore, the Green Lotus of the Earth's Core cannot reproduce using its roots.

The thirty-six Earth Core Green Lotuses in the Lotus Spirit Pond may be the accumulation of a hundred thousand years or even longer.

Moreover, the harvest cycle of the Earth Core Green Lotus is about five hundred years.

Originally, the Earth Core Green Lotus was only about twice as potent as the Earth Core Lotus, and its growth cycle was also greatly longer.

This kind of mutation cannot be considered a benign mutation.

However, when Yi Dong was researching the "spiritual root awakening" elixir, Bu Tian Dan, he tried adding the Earth Core Green Lotus and discovered the special effects of the Earth Core Green Lotus.

With the medicinal effect of the Earth Core Green Lotus, the stimulation to the spiritual root genes is greatly enhanced.

This effect is not possessed by ordinary earth lotus seeds.

Therefore, Yi Dong's view on the Earth's Core Green Lotus changed greatly.

This is also the reason why he is willing to come here once every ten years.

When he was setting up the formation, he had already basically figured out the environmental factors of the Lotus Spirit Pond.

I have the confidence to create an environment for the growth of the Earth Core Lotus, but I don't have the confidence to create an environment that can allow the Earth Core Lotus to stably mutate into the Earth Core Blue Lotus.

Qingniu took Yidong back to Julang Island.

Yidong just flew off the bull's back.

"Moo!"

The blue ox let out a cry.

Yi Dong looked back at Qingniu, and he vaguely understood what Qingniu meant.

Without saying anything, he left.

Qingniu glanced at Yidong, then dived into the Li River.

Yi Fu had been waiting on Julang Island for a long time.

After seeing Yi Fu, Yi Dong found that his face was still a little pale. Yi Dong studied blood, naturally, he was studying the blood of the Yi family.

However, he did not use his own blood. Most of it was Yi Fu's blood, and a small part was the blood of his clansmen transferred from Zijin Mountain.

It can be said that after these years of research, Yi Dong’s understanding of Yi Fu’s bloodline is far more comprehensive than his own.

Seeing Yi Fu's unhealthy appearance and thinking of how Yi Fu had worked hard for him over the years, even though Yi Dong had a heart as hard as stone, he felt a little moved.

Think of this.

Yi Dong took out a jade bottle.
“This is the most precious Heaven-Repairing Pill in my hand.

There is a kind of spiritual plant here that is absolutely impossible to buy.

I originally didn't intend to give this kind of medicine to other people, but your performance over the years can be said to be very dedicated.

I'll just give you one."

Yi Fu took the jade bottle with trembling hands.

The reputation of Bu Tian Dan has now spread in Xia County and even the entire Pingyuan County.

Many noble families and even independent cultivators knew that the Yi family of Purple Gold Mountain had created an elixir that could stably produce offspring with spiritual roots.

As soon as this elixir came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many noble families in Pingyuan County.

However, as time went by, many powerful families obtained the Bu Tian Dan through various channels, sent it to the Taoist Academy for research, and then they no longer cared about it.

Because this kind of heaven-replenishing pill will forcibly awaken the wood spiritual roots and water spiritual roots.

If only the wood spiritual root or the water spiritual root were awakened, perhaps even the fairyland would be shaken.

For many noble families, just awakening the dual spiritual roots of water and wood is considered good.

But the tricky thing is that this kind of Heaven-Burn Pill, in addition to awakening the water and wood spiritual roots, will also randomly awaken one or two other spiritual roots.

After the mother takes this heaven-replenishing pill, she will basically give birth to offspring with three to five spiritual roots, and eight out of ten will have five spiritual roots.

In other words, a child without spiritual roots will awaken his spiritual roots by absorbing this elixir while in the mother's womb. However, the disadvantage is that a child who originally has natural spiritual roots will "supplement" several spiritual roots after taking this heaven-replenishing elixir, and be forcibly replenished into a mixed spiritual root of four or five spiritual roots.

In a powerful family, ten thousand mixed spiritual roots are not as valuable as one person with natural spiritual roots.

Therefore, the Bu Tian Dan pill might have a certain value in the eyes of small families below the Zhou Wang family, because these small families, regardless of whether they can cultivate or not, always hope to have more immortal cultivators in the family.

Many immortal cultivators who have great expectations for their offspring and have excellent qualifications themselves will naturally not use an elixir like the Bu Tian Dan which has such a serious flaw. However, for an immortal cultivator like Yi Fu who has three spiritual roots and no bright future, this elixir is quite precious.

This year is already the 893rd year of Qiantian.

Thirty-three years have passed since Yi Fu came to Zijin Mountain with Yi Dong.

His cultivation had reached the peak of Qi Refining, and he had hundreds of children.

But he obviously did not have the status of his father Yi Ye, and the qualifications of his previous Taoist companions were not very good.

Therefore, less than one-fifth of his children have spiritual roots.

The best among them has three spiritual roots, and there is not even one with two spiritual roots.

At first, Yi Fu thought that the quality of his Taoist partner was not good, but he didn’t think too much about it.

However, during these eleven years, he followed Yi Dong to Lijiang Taoist Temple.

Using the method of "love offering", he spent most of his income and successfully signed a female student with natural spiritual roots who came from a small family and whose family did not provide much support. That woman served as his Taoist partner for two years on and off and gave birth to three children for him.

Unfortunately, among these three children, the strongest one only has three spiritual roots.

Therefore, he understood that with his spiritual root qualifications, it would be very unlikely for him to give birth to a pair of spiritual roots, let alone a heavenly spiritual root.

Therefore, he had high expectations for the Bu Tian Dan given by Yi Dong.

Watching Yi Fu leave excitedly with the Bu Tian Dan.

Yi Dong shook his head.

After his research, he found that the Bu Tian Dan could not produce any spiritual roots. Theoretically, it was impossible for the Bu Tian Dan made with the Green Lotus from the Earth's Core to produce any spiritual roots. However, the child that might be born would most likely have dual spiritual roots of water and wood. In addition, he would also have some characteristics of a wood or water spirit. As for what kind of spiritual characteristics they were, he didn't know.

So giving Yi Fu a pill was also for the purpose of experiment.

As for why not experiment with others.

This is because Yi Dong knew that Yi Fu had obtained a large amount of spirit stones by following him over the years.

If he had used these spirit stones for cultivation, he would probably have achieved foundation building.

Unfortunately, this man threw most of the spirit stones to the female cultivator.

Been in Yunmeng County for so long.

Yi Dong naturally knew that there was a kind of "flash marriage" or "surrogacy" business in Yunmeng County.

This business is open to everyone from beautiful women in the secular world to students at the Lijiang Taoist Temple.

Well, there are also some similar businesses targeting female practitioners.

After all, the fairyland does not stipulate that offspring must take their father's surname.

As far as Yi Dong knew, Yi Fu "supported" several female cultivators with good qualifications, including even one with natural spiritual roots.

"Well, it's time to go back to Purple Mountain."

Think of Purple Mountain.

Yi Dong couldn't help but think of Yi Hao.

A year has passed since the appointment with this person.

But this person hasn't given up the idea of meeting yet.

Perhaps this person got some information from the higher-level Taoist temple and wanted to cooperate with me.

Or maybe this person learned something in the higher-level Taoist academy and gained some confidence, so he wanted to seek revenge on Yi Dong.

So, you'd better make some preparations before going back.

Today, as long as Yi Hao has not established his foundation in the Great Dao, Yi Dong is not afraid at all in his home court of Zijin Mountain.

If Yi Hao took action first, I wouldn't care whether it was illegal or not. I would definitely not let him live.

With the Lotus Spirit Pond as a retreat, Yi Dong's awe of the laws of the Immortal Kingdom has been weakened to a certain extent.
