214: Chapter 214 Third-Order Spirit Eye!

Within a Spiritual Vein, the source where Spiritual Qi is most dense and pure is something rare and hard to come by.

Only after Spiritual Qi gathers over many years can an eye of the spirit spring be conceived.

The forms of the eye of the spirit spring vary, strange and diverse.

Some take the shape of an ancient tree with lush branches and leaves, where every leaf inhales and exhales Spiritual Qi; this is the "Tree of the Spirit Spring".

Some appear as fountains with bubbling spring water, where every drop of water is transformed from Spiritual Qi; this is the "Spring of the Spirit Spring".

Some are merely ordinary stones, yet they emit pure Spiritual Qi at every moment; this is the "Stone of the Spirit Spring".

According to the quality of the Spiritual Qi, these eye of the spirit spring are divided into various ranks.

Low Grade eye of the spirit spring only provide enough for Qi Refining Cultivators to Cultivate.

Medium Grade eye of the spirit spring can satisfy the needs of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

High Grade eye of the spirit spring are viewed as treasures even by Core Formation True Persons.

As for Top Grade eye of the spirit spring...

Those are supreme treasures that would even tempt a Nascent Soul True Lord!

Ye Changge calculated inwardly, wondering what grade of treasure this eye of the spirit spring was in essence.

If it were Third Grade, that would be great.

If it were Third Grade...

Ye Changge's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.

He remembered the willow tree that had been lying quietly in the System space.

That Fourth Grade True Spirit Willow Tree!

Ever since he obtained this willow tree, he had kept it stored in the System space and never taken it out.

It was not that he did not want to plant it, but that he dared not.

A Fourth Grade True Spirit is an existence equivalent to a Nascent Soul Cultivator!

To support such an existence, at least a Third Grade Spiritual Vein or higher is required; otherwise, the Spiritual Qi would not be enough for it to absorb. Not only would it fail to help it grow, but it would also "starve" it to death.

But a Third Grade Spiritual Vein...

Ye Changge sighed softly.

Zhao State is only so big, spanning no more than hundreds of thousands of miles, and cultivation resources are inherently limited.

For an ordinary Cultivator to find a Second Grade Spiritual Vein is already a sign of great ancestral fortune, sufficient to support a small cultivation Family for hundreds of years without decline.

As for Third Grade Spiritual Veins...

In the entire Zhao State, the Third Grade Spiritual Veins on the surface are only a few; one could count them on their fingers.

The Three Great Sects each occupy one at their mountain gates; there is no need to even think about those.

Several Core Formation Families with legacies spanning thousands of years each have one as well.

And the three great immortal cities are also situated atop Third Grade Spiritual Veins.

These are all things that already have owners.

As for Fourth Grade Spiritual Veins...

Ye Changge shook his head.

It is said that Zhao State has only one Fourth Grade Spiritual Vein, which is beneath the mountain gate of the Qingshui Sword Sect.

After all, the Qingshui Sword Sect is the only Sect in Zhao State with a Nascent Soul Cultivator presiding over it; it has led the Righteous Path of Zhao State for thousands of years, and its Foundation is unimaginably deep.

If not for the support of a Fourth Grade Spiritual Vein, how could it have cultivated an existence like a Nascent Soul True Lord?

"I wonder if I can find a Fourth Grade Spiritual Vein for the Ye Family in my lifetime..."

Ye Changge muttered to himself, then smiled self-deprecatingly.

He was thinking too far ahead.

Nowadays, he didn't even have a clue about a Third Grade Spiritual Vein, yet he was already coveting a Fourth Grade one?

He composed his mind and silently recited in his heart:

"Check details of the eye of the spirit spring."

In his mind, the cold and mechanical voice of the System sounded once again—

"Ding~ eye of the spirit spring, Third Grade Low Grade spiritual item."

"Characteristic 1: Can continuously produce Third Grade Low Grade quality Spiritual Qi within a ten-zhang radius. The concentration of Spiritual Qi changes according to the external environment, reaching up to Third Grade Medium Grade."

"Characteristic 2: Can be implanted into the earth vein, nurtured long-term, and gradually increase the grade of the surrounding Spiritual Vein. If placed at the core of a Second Grade Spiritual Vein, it can be upgraded to Third Grade Low Grade after a hundred years."

"Characteristic 3: Can be carried with you, placed in an Immortal Cave or cultivation room to significantly increase local Spiritual Qi concentration and accelerate cultivation speed."

"Note: The eye of the spirit spring is a renewable spiritual item. As long as it is not artificially destroyed, it can continuously produce Spiritual Qi."

After reading the System's explanation, Ye Changge was overjoyed!

Third Grade Low Grade!

It really was Third Grade!

Although it was only Third Grade Low Grade, it was still Third Grade!

Moreover, the System said that this eye of the spirit spring could produce Third Grade quality Spiritual Qi within a ten-zhang radius, and at its highest, it could even reach Third Grade Medium Grade!

What did this mean?

It meant that he could completely place this eye of the spirit spring in some secret location on Longmai Mountain, and then plant that Fourth Grade True Spirit Willow Tree within that ten-zhang radius!

Although a Fourth Grade True Spirit requires a Third Grade Spiritual Vein for support, it does not need much Spiritual Qi for its initial growth.

The Third Grade Spiritual Qi produced by the eye of the spirit spring, while not enough for the willow tree to fully grow, should be sufficient to maintain its survival and help it initially take root.

As for the future...

A gleam of light flashed in Ye Changge's eyes.

The System said the eye of the spirit spring could be implanted into the earth vein, nurtured long-term, and gradually increase the grade of the surrounding Spiritual Vein.

The current Spiritual Vein of Longmai Mountain is only a Second Grade Low Grade Spiritual Vein, which he had seized from the Li Family.

If he were to implant this eye of the spirit spring into the earth vein of Longmai Mountain, after a hundred years, the entire Spiritual Vein could be upgraded to Third Grade Low Grade!

By then, the entire Longmai Mountain would become a Third Grade spiritual land!

The cultivation speed of the Family disciples would be significantly increased!

And even... it could attract more Loose Cultivators to come and join!

The more Ye Changge thought about it, the more excited he became, wishing he could fly back to Longmai Mountain right now and plant this eye of the spirit spring.

However, he quickly calmed down.

Wait.

The System also said that the eye of the spirit spring could be carried with him and placed in an Immortal Cave to increase cultivation speed.

For other Cultivators, this might be the most correct way to use the eye of the spirit spring.

After all, who would be willing to bury such a treasure in the ground to nurture a Second Grade Spiritual Vein?

A hundred years is too long.

With this hundred years, if he placed it in his Immortal Cave to Cultivate, his own cultivation base would have broken through countless levels.

Moreover, the Third Grade Spiritual Qi produced by the eye of the spirit spring is of great benefit to the cultivation of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

If carried with him, he could enjoy the blessing of Third Grade Spiritual Qi wherever he went...

Ye Changge shook his head and laughed softly.

Most Cultivators are short-sighted, only caring about immediate benefits and failing to see the long term.

But he was different.

He had a Family behind him, with dozens of descendants and hundreds of kinsmen.

What he needed was not for his own cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, but for the entire Family's Foundation to be solid and everlasting.

Although the eye of the spirit spring is good, if placed in his Immortal Cave, it would only benefit him alone.

But if planted on Longmai Mountain, it could benefit his descendants!

He calculated this account very clearly.

"Husband, why are you so happy?"

A gentle and melodious voice sounded in his ear, interrupting Ye Changge's train of thought.

He turned his head and saw Xiao Caiyue looking at him with her head tilted, her autumn-water-like eyes filled with a bit of confusion and curiosity.

"Is it because we are almost home?"

Xiao Caiyue asked softly, the corners of her lips curling up slightly.

Ye Changge chuckled upon hearing this, nodded slightly, and then shook his head.

"Returning home is imminent, so naturally I am happy."

He reached out and gently held Xiao Caiyue's hand, "However, the reason I was happy just now is because of another matter."
