Of course, as rare and exotic treasures, their marvelous uses naturally far surpass those of treasures at the same cultivation level.
These treasures all share one common point: rare and exotic treasures possess the power to break through levels, enough to compare favorably with spiritual objects of a higher level.
Take Jade Marrow Rice as an example. As Low-grade Spirit Rice, if it can give birth to rare spirit rice, its value will compare favorably with Mid-grade Spirit Rice of the Second Order.
If a piece of Spirit Wood at the level of a Tier 1 Rare Treasure is refined into a First-order Top-grade magic tool, its power will also compare favorably with a Second-grade low-grade spirit artifact refined by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Of course, even among rare and exotic treasures, the value of a First-Order Spirit Tree and a stalk of Jade Marrow Rice often differs by several hundred or even a thousand times. Therefore, they cannot be treated as a single category.
As for the Water Spirit Pearl before him, as a First-grade exotic treasure, its value was similar to that of a spirit tree, making it an exceptionally rare treasure among exotic treasures.
For many Late Qi Refining cultivators, the Water Spirit Pearl was an exotic treasure that was extremely difficult to obtain, and its value was probably more than Thirty Percent spirit stones.
The value of an ordinary First-grade exotic treasure was only around seven or eight spirit stones. This item was several times more expensive than an ordinary First-grade exotic treasure, practically reaching the upper limit of the price of such treasures.
Because the Water Spirit Pearl was a Water Attribute exotic treasure, it possessed the effects of Spirit Gathering and Qi Refining, and could increase a Qi Refining cultivator’s Cultivation Speed by Thirty Percent.
Moreover, the Water Spirit Pearl could be refined into a Water Attribute High-grade magic tool, which could amplify the power of Water Attribute spells and even slightly increase the probability of a Water Spiritual Root cultivator breaking through their Realm.
These three functions were all things that any Qi Refining cultivator whose Primary Cultivation was Water Law dreamed of obtaining.
For Ye Linyuan now, the Water Spirit Pearl was even more perfectly compatible with him. If he refined it using the Spirit Refining Marvelous Art, the power of these three effects would absolutely not stop there.
“My Spirit Refining Marvelous Art can refine Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, thereby making up for the insufficiency of my own Foundation.”
“If I refine this Water Spirit Pearl with the Spirit Refining Marvelous Art, perhaps I can bring out an even more astonishing effect.”
Ye Linyuan murmured in his heart, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
He had originally planned to wait until his Cultivation Level increased somewhat and he had accumulated several years’ worth of spirit stones before purchasing an ordinary Water Attribute exotic treasure, the “Spirit Shell Pearl,” to complete his cultivation of the Spirit Refining Marvelous Art.
Now that he had an even more precious Water Spirit Pearl, he naturally had no reason to refuse it.
He took the Water Spirit Pearl, then decisively activated the Spirit Refining Marvelous Art and continuously refined it. Only after consuming a long time did he finally transform it into Origin and refine it into his body.
“Success!”
After successfully refining the Water Spirit Pearl, Ye Linyuan immediately felt incomparably comfortable Within the body. It was as though all his meridians were unobstructed, and he seemed to have become even more compatible with Water Spiritual Energy.
Ye Linyuan immediately tried refining Spiritual Energy. Only after a long while did he slowly open his eyes, a trace of a smile appearing in his gaze.
“My speed of refining Spiritual Energy has doubled.”
Ye Linyuan murmured softly, then tried activating a Spell. After some attempts, he could not help but reveal a hint of delight.
He discovered that after refining the Water Spirit Pearl, he had inherited its three characteristics, and all their effects had been greatly enhanced from their original foundation.
First, his Cultivation Speed had doubled. He could now refine two wisps of Spiritual Energy each day, an increase of more than three times compared with the Thirty Percent increase in Cultivation Speed gained by using the Water Spirit Pearl to refine Spiritual Energy.
Moreover, after refining the Water Spirit Pearl, the Degree of Condensation of Ye Linyuan’s True Qi had doubled, and its power had also increased tremendously.
Among the Five Elements Spirit Root, Gold Attribute True Qi was the most condensed, followed by Fire, Earth, Wood, and Water Attribute True Qi.
If the power of Gold Attribute True Qi was 2, the power of Fire Attribute True Qi was 1.8, the power of Earth Attribute True Qi was 1.5, and the power of Wood Attribute True Qi was 1.2, then the power of Water Attribute True Qi was 1.
Such weak power made Water Cultivators’ Combat Power extremely weak. Their Combat Ability among cultivators at the Same Cultivation Level was even inferior to that of Wood Cultivators, and the Probability of breaking through a Bottleneck would also be greatly lowered.
However, after refining the Water Spirit Pearl, the purity of Ye Linyuan’s True Qi had increased by Fifty Percent. It had already surpassed the level of Wood Cultivators and was sufficient to compare favorably with Earth Attribute True Qi.
It could be said that Ye Linyuan had now perfectly resolved the Weakness of the Water Spiritual Root. In The Future, neither his Combat Ability nor the Probability of breaking through a Bottleneck would be too low.
“The power of Water Attribute spells has increased by Fifty Percent. The effect of the Spirit Rain Technique has also improved tremendously, and the Healing Ability of the Vast Sea Bright Moon Art has increased by about Fifty Percent.”
“Moreover, the improvement in the Quality of my True Qi has greatly increased the Probability of my breaking through a Bottleneck.”
Ye Linyuan murmured softly, having gained a sufficient understanding of the improvements brought about by refining the Water Spirit Pearl.
In particular, regarding the Weakness of breaking through a Bottleneck, because his Primary Cultivation was the Water Attribute Vast Sea Bright Moon Art, the Quality of his True Qi had originally been somewhat insufficient. Therefore, during his breakthrough to Qi Refining Mid-stage, he had only had a success rate of Twenty or Thirty Percent.
He had not Informed even Everyone of the Ye Clan of this shortcoming.
The Everyone of the Ye Clan believed that Ye Linyuan’s Primary Cultivation was the Gold Spirit Root, so his success rate for breaking through to Qi Refining Mid-stage would not be lower than Fifty Percent. That was why they were willing to Support him with the strength of the entire clan.
If they knew that his Primary Cultivation was the Water Spiritual Root, they might even change their minds.
Fortunately, after refining the Water Spirit Pearl, Ye Linyuan’s True Qi Quality had doubled. Combined with the Water Spirit Pearl’s auxiliary breakthrough effect, he should not encounter too great a Bottleneck when breaking through to Qi Refining Mid-stage.
Moreover, because Water Attribute True Qi had originally been too soft, without the assistance of External Objects, the Probability of successfully breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm had been Extremely Low.
Now, with the improvement in the Quality of his True Qi and the slight Amplify brought by a First-grade exotic treasure, when he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in The Future without relying on External Objects, he should still have a ten percent success rate.
“For me in this life, this can be called a tremendous improvement.”
“This Spirit Refining Marvelous Art truly has the effect of Defy Heaven and Change Fate. It is worthy of being an Opportunity within the Boundary Ruins Forbidden Zone.”
Ye Linyuan Suppressed the joy in his heart. Only after refining today’s two wisps of Spiritual Energy did he rise and end his Quiet Cultivation.
He looked around the Spirit Eye and discovered that the Spiritual Energy Within the Spirit Eye was quite Vigorous, with approximately twenty or more wisps of Spiritual Energy still swirling within it.
A Low-grade Spirit Eye could give birth to one wisp of Spiritual Energy each day. Combined with the Spirit Eye originally on Ye Family Island, it should be sufficient to supply Ye Linyuan’s current Cultivation Speed.
Besides this Spiritual Energy, there were also four purple flowers in the Cave. They emitted a faint trace of Spirituality and seemed to be a First-Order Low-Grade Spirit Plant.
“A First-Order Spirit Material, Snake Saliva Flower.”
Looking at the four Snake Saliva Flowers before him, Ye Linyuan could not help but reveal a look of understanding.
The Snake Saliva Flower was an exotic flower used for detoxification and was especially skilled at treating Snake Venom. It generally grew alongside a Demonic Snake.
As the saying went, there was always an antidote within three steps of a venomous snake’s lair. Thus, it was only natural that Snake Saliva Flowers could grow here.
“These Snake Saliva Flowers can be carefully tended. Whether used in The Future to refine Detoxification Pills for sale or kept for personal use, they will be extremely valuable.”
