28: Sixth level cave
After the Changye Sect was established, it was already dark.
Li Ye built a stone table in front of the Immortal Cave, preparing to have dinner with Chen Peipei, Bai Jie, Lin Qiuyao, Ermi, Yan Xiaoji, and others.
He also took the opportunity to introduce Chen Peipei to everyone.
Today's outing was fruitful; not only did he bring back a goddess, but he also directly acquired a Sect.
Furthermore, almost all the resources of this Sect were taken by him, though there wasn't anything particularly good.
However, Li Ye didn't mind; his current goal was to refine Foundation Establishment Pills and then Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
After dinner, he opened the chat channel to browse; although useful messages were rare, it had become Li Ye's post-dinner habit.
This time, he saw some useful information.
“Brothers, have you seen the original resident here?”
“Oh my, there are even original resident here? Are they male or female? Do they look good?”
“The one upstairs, do you only have women in your eyes?”
“I've seen them. Their clothing tells you they aren't modern people. I hid behind a house and listened to them babbling. I was terrified.”
“Oh my, is it that scary?”
“The one upstairs is right. In the Wasteland, languages are not universal. Demons, Yao Beasts, and the Human Race here all have their own common languages.”
“Everyone, don't interact with the original resident. My brothers and I encountered the original resident here, and guess what?”
“What happened? Are you all dead?”
“Haha, we've already become members of a local force here, the Tianxin Sect. We have food and drink every day, and we can Cultivate. If you want to join our Tianxin Sect, contact me. We currently need a lot of people.”
“The one upstairs, are you sure you weren't abducted?”
“It's chilling to think about. The original resident here speak a different language than us. How did you manage to get their preferential treatment?”
“Ultimately, we are the outsiders. The original resident here will definitely not treat us kindly.”
...
Li Ye closed the chat channel. He didn't expect so many people to have encountered the original resident like him.
The original resident should be the cultivators of the Barren Ancient Star. Cultivation itself is Heaven-Defying, a struggle for resources. The Spiritual Qi and resources of the Barren Ancient Star are fixed.
This indicates that his group of hundreds of millions of cultivators will definitely clash with the original resident in the future.
Therefore, Li Ye's enemies not only come from the demons of the weekly Blood Moon Day and the Yao Beasts within the Secret Realm, but also from the Human Race here.
Now, strength is the most crucial thing.
He quickly contacted Xiao Yan.
She had always been far ahead in the Medicinal Pill ranking.
His own ranking had consistently stayed at second and hadn't moved up.
This indicated that Xiao Yan had a deeper understanding of Medicinal Pills.
Perhaps she had a source for large quantities of Spirit Medicine.
Eternal Night: “Hello, do you have any extra Ice Spirit Flowers and Purple Monkey Flowers?”
Xiao Yan: “Li Ye, you're going to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, right?”
Eternal Night: “Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be asking for them so widely. Currently, I only have enough for five portions, and the success rate is too low.”
Xiao Yan: “Give me the Foundation Establishment Pill Formula, and how about I gather twenty portions of medicinal ingredients for you?”
Eternal Night: “...”
Li Ye was thinking. He did have the Pill Formula. Although Divine Abilities from the ranking rewards could not be spread.
However, Pill Formulas could be in another form.
After all, a Pill Formula simply tells you what medicinal ingredients are needed and their proportions.
Even without the Pill Formula, if one knows the ingredients and their proportions, one can still refine the Medicinal Pill, and at that point, the Pill Formula is self-unlocked.
This is different from Divine Abilities.
There's no need to think about it; if those Divine Abilities were written into a book, how thick and how complex would that book be?
But, should he give it to Xiao Yan?
Eternal Night: “Gather fifty portions for me, and I can tell you the medicinal ingredient proportions. I haven't spread it yet.”
Xiao Yan: “Impossible, that's too many. Twenty-five portions at most.”
Eternal Night: “Forty portions. Think about it, if you get this Pill Formula, then we two will be the first to Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Your battle power ranking has already dropped out of the top five. That Solomon, Buddha Dragon Child, and Tyrant Dragon Warrior, etc., are all rising dark horses...”
Xiao Yan: “Thirty-five portions.”
Eternal Night: “Thirty-nine portions.”
Xiao Yan: “...”
The two haggled for a while longer, finally settling on 37 portions of Foundation Establishment Pill ingredients.
However, Xiao Yan could only collect them the next day.
At this point, Li Ye was completely certain that Xiao Yan possessed some large-scale Spirit Medicine garden or similar land.
After the haggling, Li Ye refined some Medicinal Pills for a while, earning some Spirit Stones, and then checked the trading market again for good items.
And indeed, there was something. Someone found a level six Immortal Cave upgrade blueprint in a small area.
Li Ye just happened to need it. Without thinking, Li Ye traded twenty Wash Marrow Pills and five hundred portions of demon meat for this level six Immortal Cave upgrade blueprint.
[Level 5 Immortal Cave Upgrade Requirements: Low-Grade Spirit Stone (1000/1000) Wood (2000/2000) Stone (1500/1500) Level 6 Immortal Cave Blueprint (1/1) Do you want to upgrade?]
[Upgrade!]
The next moment, the towering small hill within the Changye Sect suddenly grew much larger again, reaching over ten meters in height.
Its area expanded to 500 square meters, and a faint Spiritual Qi began to emanate from inside the Immortal Cave.
Li Ye clicked to check it.
[Level 6 Immortal Cave Effect: Increases Spiritual Qi content by 10%.]
“Not bad, the Spiritual Qi enhancement effect has finally appeared. This means that as long as I keep searching the trading market, I can probably gradually expand this small home.”
Li Ye was very satisfied.
It was late. Li Ye bought another bed, then hugged the freshly bathed Chen Peipei and went to sleep.
