The clan’s entire supply of spiritual energy was concentrated to support Ye Linyuan’s cultivation alone. With the cultivation speed of his Three Spirit Root, he would probably be able to reach the Third Level of Qi Refining within five or six years.
However, Ye Linze and Ye Huaixue’s Cultivation Levels would probably fall into a prolonged stagnation. This would likely be somewhat unfair to them.
However, there was no way around it. Everyone present understood that the Ye Clan currently lacked sufficient financial resources and could only concentrate their efforts on cultivating a new Qi Refining Mid-stage cultivator.
After all, as someone with a Three Spirit Root, Ye Linyuan faced a relatively low Bottleneck when breaking through to the Mid Qi Refining stage. With the assistance of a High-grade Spirit Eye, his success rate for a single attempt should not be lower than Fifty Percent.
Ye Linyuan understood everything perfectly. However, he had no intention of refusing.
Because to him, only by rapidly raising his Cultivation Level would he be able to fully Exert the abilities of a Spirit Planter and thereby survive this most difficult initial period.
“It is good that you understand this Old Man’s painstaking intentions.”
Seeing that Everyone had no objections, Old Man Ye Sighed. He then looked toward Ye Linyuan and said, “Of the seven Qi Refining cultivators in my Ye Family, you, Ye Linyuan, have the best Aptitude. Therefore, you are able to receive special treatment.”
“But you must never forget the Karma of today.”
Ye Linyuan Nodded, then looked toward Ye Huaixue, Ye Linze, and the others beside him. “If one day Linyuan can Breakthrough beyond the Mid Qi Refining stage, I will do my best to Support several Uncles and Elder Brothers in breaking through as well.”
Hearing this, the others could not help but smile.
Compared with elderly Old Man Ye, Ye Linyuan’s promise was far more precious. After all, he was still very young, and if he truly broke through to the Mid Qi Refining stage In The Future, he might have ample Time to assist the others.
Seeing this, Old Man Ye could not help but Smiled and patted his shoulder. “Well said.”
As he spoke, he looked toward the others and continued, “Our Ye Family is weak and isolated. If we want to achieve anything, we must work together and direct all our efforts toward the same goal.”
“We are all one family. I hope that In The Future, you can help and Support one another and make the Clan increasingly prosperous together.”
Old Man Ye continued rambling for a long while, leaving reluctantly only when the sun was setting.
He boarded the Small Boat and waved to Everyone before Sailing a Boat toward the Red Star Island of the Lin Clan, several dozen li away.
After Old Man Ye’s Small Boat gradually disappeared, Ye Linyuan finally looked toward the Uncles and Elder Brothers beside him.
Ye Qinyang said nothing. He merely Nodded and left.
Ye Qin Chu had the appearance of a scholar. He patted Ye Linyuan’s shoulder and said, “Do not overthink it, and do not burden yourself mentally.”
“Since your Grandfather has spoken, Supporting your Cultivation will be the Clan’s top priority from now on.”
Ye Linyuan did not answer. He merely looked toward Ye Linze and Ye Huaixue, only to see the two of them nod slightly at him before turning and heading toward the Mountain Peak.
After understanding the thoughts of the Ye Clan members, Ye Linyuan’s heart settled slightly.
Judging from the attitudes of these several Uncles and elder siblings, the Ye Clan’s family relationships were still extremely reliable. Perhaps Ye Linze and Ye Huaixue had felt some unwillingness in their hearts, but at least it had not created any estrangement.
Having understood this, Ye Linyuan cupped his hands and said, “The entire Clan is supporting Linyuan’s Cultivation. If Linyuan achieves anything In The Future, he will certainly repay the Clan.”
“It is enough that you have the intention.”
Ye Qin Chu Smiled, flicked open the folding fan in his hand, and turned to leave the Dock.
“…”
Ye Linyuan returned to the Mountain Peak and Absorbed all the spiritual energy accumulated within the Spirit Eye. He then headed toward the Fertile Field in the Valley.
During the following period, he spent most of his Time secluded in the Valley, taking turns tending this Fertile Field with the Spirit Rain Technique, Ripening Method, Spirit Nurturing Art, and Geng Metal Needle.
To replenish the spiritual energy required by this field of Spirit Ear Rice, he Activated the Spirit Rain Technique approximately once every three days. Of the remaining two days, he used the Ripening Method on one day and the Spirit Nurturing Art on the other to increase the Spirituality of the Spirit Ear Rice.
In addition, he used the Geng Metal Needle every day to exterminate pests. Under such meticulous Care, the yield of this field of Spirit Ear Rice naturally Greatly increased, and the Spirituality it Nurtured also improved tremendously.
“At this rate, this field of Spirit Ear Rice will Mature within a month and Transform into Jade Marrow Rice. It should also produce thirty jin of Low-grade Spirit Rice.”
Seeing that the Spirit Ear Rice was growing well, Ye Linyuan could not help but smile.
Thirty jin of Low-grade Spirit Rice was equivalent to thirty Broken Spirit Stones. If used as Cultivation sustenance, it could probably increase his spiritual energy by more than one hundred strands, adding four months to his Cultivation Level.
Of course, this was also because his Cultivation Level was insufficient. If he possessed a Late Qi Refining Cultivation Level and the standard of a Quasi-Second Order Spirit Planter, then by painstakingly tending these Hundred Mu of Fertile Land, he should be able to produce three thousand jin of Low-grade Spirit Rice each year.
By that calculation, his annual Income would start at approximately thirty spirit stones.
Of course, a True Quasi-Second Order Spirit Planter would not be likely to grow mere Low-grade Spirit Rice.
Most of them would grow Spirit Medicine and Spirit Wood. Such Precious Spirit Medicine and Spirit Wood possessed extraordinary Value, with the price of a single plant starting at half a spirit stone. Some especially Precious Exotic Treasure Spirit Plants were worth more than one hundred spirit stones.
Therefore, provided they possessed sufficient Spirit Fields, a Quasi-Second Order Spirit Planter would generate at least two hundred spirit stones in Income each year. This Income was considerably higher than the annual Income of some Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Ye Linyuan’s Spirit Plant Spells were no weaker than those of Quasi-Second Order Spirit Planters. However, because his Cultivation Level was insufficient, he found it difficult to Activate them many times, and Ultimately, he still could not fully Exert all the wonders of a Spirit Planter.
Regardless, after estimating that this Fertile Field could produce thirty jin of Spirit Rice, Ye Linyuan still revealed an expression of deep satisfaction.
During the following period, he began carefully tending this field of Spirit Ear Rice without pause. Moreover, the closer the Spirit Ear Rice came to Maturity, the more cautious he became.
Based on his experience, all Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects would inevitably attract the attention of Demonic Insects and Demonic Beasts.
Although Low-grade Spirit Rice was not of a high Grade, it could still attract low-level Demonic Insects and Demonic Beasts. Moreover, there was no Grand Formation protecting the Valley. If he was even slightly careless, all this Spirit Rice might be devoured.
“It looks like it should Mature within the next few days.”
On the twenty-seventh day after Old Man Ye’s departure, Ye Linyuan had just finished his Cultivation when he arrived at the Fertile Field.
Yet not long after he reached the Fertile Field, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and a Grave Expression appeared on his face.
In the Fertile Field of Spirit Ear Rice, which was laden with fruit, quite a few stalks of Spirit Rice appeared to have been eaten. It seemed that some kind of Demonic Beast had ravaged the field.
“There is a Demonic Beast!”
Ye Linyuan’s expression changed slightly, and a look of apprehension appeared in his gaze as he looked toward the Fertile Field.
He did not Recklessly Step into the Fertile Field. Instead, he carefully circled it to inspect the area. Yet after covering barely half its circumference, Ye Linyuan suddenly Felt a chill approaching.
“Hiss—”
In an instant, a dazzling streak of purple Electric Light Soared into the sky and pounced toward Ye Linyuan.
