Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 81 Nascent Soul Ancestor
"The Hundred Herbs Spirit Body? It has a bonus effect on the growth and cultivation of spiritual herbs?" Su You looked at the girl in front of him with great interest, and then asked, "How much of a bonus effect?"

If the results are good, and with the added bonus from the herb garden in the Wizard Tower, it will be easier to cultivate some high-quality, high-aged herbs.

The twin clones' alchemy skills have been stuck at the mid-grade of the second tier for some time now, mainly because it's difficult to find spiritual herbs for refining second-tier pills; they all require herbs that are at least a hundred years old.

When Su You was hunting in the various monster mountain ranges, most of the spiritual herbs he collected were less than a hundred years old.

Although those demonic beasts don't possess much intelligence, they still have an instinctive urge to devour spiritual herbs that are over a hundred years old, so naturally, there aren't many spiritual herbs that can be found.

“My lord, ordinary spiritual herbs can double the growth rate, while those over a hundred years old can increase the growth rate by half. In addition, I have practiced spiritual plant magic, which can slightly increase the growth rate as well,” Chen Yueying replied in a soft, sweet voice.

"The effect is quite good, equivalent to a natural-born third-tier spirit plant master." Su You nodded in satisfaction. "Then stay and take care of the spirit herb garden with Zhao Feier."

The cultivation of spiritual herbs is of utmost importance to any power, especially for high-level spiritual plant masters, whose status is in no way inferior to that of alchemists.

However, spirit plant masters have very high requirements for their own cultivation, especially high-level spirit plant masters. The status of a third-level spirit plant master in the Foundation Establishment stage is vastly different from that of a third-level spirit plant master in the Golden Core stage.

The number of medicinal herbs that can be cared for by the two differs by a hundredfold, so their values ​​are naturally different.

At Chen Yueying's current age, her cultivation has already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, which clearly shows that the Chen family has put a lot of effort into nurturing her.

A natural-born Tier 3 spirit plant master will naturally generate greater benefits the higher their cultivation level.

However, what Su You was most interested in was not the benefits the other party could bring. After all, a person's ability is limited, and given that Chen Yueying's cultivation level was not high, it was unlikely that she could bring him much benefit in the short term.

What he was interested in was the other person's special physical condition.

In the world of cultivation, a special physique is considered a unique aptitude, even rarer than spiritual roots.

Su You was very interested in researching this special physique. If he could find a way to mass-produce this kind of "Hundred Herbs Spirit Body," that would be a real treasure.

……

Aurora Island, Qingxin Tower.

The three most powerful Golden Core cultivators in the Mingkong Islands have gathered here.

"This Sunset Island is no ordinary place!" the Qi family patriarch sighed.

After Chen Yuanzong left, all the Golden Core families launched an investigation into Luoxia Island.

The appearance of a Nascent Soul Grandmaster in the Mingkong Islands, especially with the implication of permanent residency, has a huge impact on the entire Mingkong Islands.

The Qin family of Aurora Island was able to occupy the fourth-tier spiritual vein here not only because they possessed the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, but also because they were disciples of a Nascent Soul Grandmaster from the Void Heaven Sect.

However, a thousand years ago, the ancestor of the Xutian Sect had already passed away, and the original relationship gradually broke down.

For example, during the crisis three hundred years ago, they didn't seek help from the Void Heaven Sect, which shows something. After all, if the Qin family were to seek help, it wouldn't just be a matter of goodwill, but would also come at a huge cost.

Fortunately, the Qin family produced another Nascent Soul cultivator, who managed to turn the tide and stabilize the situation.

However, decades ago, the Qin family's ancestor seemed to have encountered danger and has been in seclusion for decades without showing up.

This is also the reason why the Mingkong Alliance has been making so many moves in recent decades.

However, if another Nascent Soul cultivator were to appear in the Mingkong Islands, it would definitely have a huge impact on their interests.

Their original plan was to maintain the status quo, continue to profit from the alliance, and wait for one of them to reach the Nascent Soul realm before trying to compete for Aurora Island.

But the appearance of a Nascent Soul cultivator is definitely not good news for them.

The three of them are now gathered together to exchange information in preparation for a potential crisis.

"Could this be Chen Yuanzong bluffing? The people we sent out haven't even seen that so-called Nascent Soul Ancestor yet, and the Chen family is handling everything on Luoxia Island. Does that Nascent Soul Ancestor trust the Chen family that much?" the Qian family patriarch asked doubtfully.

"Probably not. According to intelligence, Luoxia Island originally had only a second-grade low-level spiritual vein, but now it has become a third-grade mid-level and a third-grade high-level spiritual vein. Would Chen Yuanzong have such boldness? Even if we had so many spirit stones, we might not necessarily create spiritual veins." The Zhao family patriarch shook his head. "Besides, didn't Chen Yuanzong say that he would open a market on Luoxia Island? If it's the kind you're talking about, he should be more discreet."

Creating these two spiritual veins would require seven or eight million spirit stones. Adding the array, the total investment on Luoxia Island would exceed ten million. Most Nascent Soul elders wouldn't have such courage and financial resources.

Although their family has been passed down for over two thousand years, they simply cannot come up with ten million spirit stones. With that many spirit stones, they would have been able to buy the Nascent Soul Pill long ago and attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

“There’s no point in dwelling on this. Chen Yuanzong invited us to set up shop in Luoxia Island’s market, so we can take this opportunity to pay him a visit and we’ll understand.” The Zhao family patriarch shook his head and said, “That’s not the point. The point is, why did this Nascent Soul patriarch come to our Mingkong Islands? If it’s to compete for Aurora Island, why go to such great lengths to transform Luoxia Island?”

"This is also what puzzles me. Could it be that there are some peculiarities about Luoxia Island that we haven't discovered?" the Qi family patriarch wondered.

The Mingkong Alliance has conducted a thorough investigation of every island in the Mingkong Archipelago. If there were truly any hidden treasures, it's impossible that no one would have discovered them for thousands of years.

……

Sunset Island.

"Master, the market has been completed and is just waiting for your order to open. In addition, some Golden Core cultivators from the Mingkong Alliance have sent their visiting cards, wishing to pay a visit to the Nascent Soul Ancestor when the market opens," Chen Yuanzong reported.

Su You glanced through the visiting cards, which included names of all the Golden Core factions on the Mingkong Islands.

"Perfect opportunity to meet them." Su You smiled.

On Luoxia Island, his home turf, he fears no one. Even if so many Golden Core cultivators gather together, it would be an easy task for him to wipe them all out.

Of course, the so-called Nascent Soul Ancestor will not appear, but this young island master can.
