"Eastern Divine Continent, the ruins of a temporary palace, deep underground, lies the City of Ten Thousand Trees..."
He silently pondered the current situation.
In order to accumulate the power needed to enter this world, Lin Ye had dedicated himself to honing his skills for five years.
Now, with over a hundred fragments of the Heavenly Emperor within his body, Lin Ye has gained 65% resistance to metal-type spiritual energy!
The refining of each fragment was recorded by Huang Tian.
Through the plan and transcription proposed by Huang Zhou, if Huang Tian's consciousness were to merge and awaken one day, at that moment, some of the senses of Lin Ye's Daoist partners during the process of refining all Huang Tian's fragments would be simultaneously superimposed onto Huang Tian's spirit!
At that time, Huangtian might accidentally become a water-type being.
In terms of cultivation, Lin Ye already possesses seven miniature golden cores.
Equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Stage 7 cultivator!
His seventh miniature golden core is the [Imperial Heaven Golden Core], which possesses the characteristics of the Imperial Heaven. Its pale appearance resembles both scales and feathers, and it gently curls up as the spiritual energy expands, releasing layers of golden halo.
These special golden pills have powerful effects, but the accumulation of spiritual energy is very slow.
Regarding the rare flames, Lin Ye has already refined the "True Flame of Salvation" and the "Earthly Fiend Blood Flame," while the other rare flames are still being cultivated.
On the surface, he appears to be a cultivator at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, his combat prowess... and the level of respect he received went far beyond that!
The cultivator data collection system in Lin Ye's villa, based on the quality and total amount of energy he submitted, regarded Lin Ye as a Golden Core Peak cultivator who had suffered serious injuries.
After all, the total amount of spiritual energy at the peak of the Golden Core stage is not high.
Isn't this obviously an injured person?
In this era, high-level cultivators who have suffered serious injuries can receive protection and care from the Star Alliance.
Most of the mortal realm has already submitted to the Star Alliance, and Ten Thousand Trees City is relatively peaceful, a place where immortals and mortals live together.
Therefore, Lin Ye acted in this way.
Although he could also conceal the total amount of spiritual energy and disguise himself as a perfectly normal Golden Core stage peak cultivator.
But I was in an unfamiliar place...
Being overrated isn't necessarily a good thing!
After receiving the Star Alliance's protective care, although no Golden Core cultivators came to welcome Lin Ye, no one came to cause trouble either.
He has basically integrated well into the community.
.......
In the future world, spirit stones will no longer be used as currency.
Instead, they use paper money and electronic currency!
As a strategic resource that can be used in future battles against the Titans and requires large reserves, Spirit Stones were acquired by the Star Alliance at a high price.
All goods on the market are settled using credit currencies such as paper money.
Because of the high value of spirit stones in this era, Lin Ye only needs to exchange a little bit for more money than he can ever spend.
Unfortunately, all high-end cultivation supplies are controlled by the Star Alliance and cannot be bought on the market, and mid-range cultivation supplies are also subject to purchase restrictions.
But in any case, problems that can be solved with money are no longer a problem for Lin Ye.
"Master, you are back."
A sweet, but slightly inhuman, clear voice rang out.
Several mecha girls surrounded Lin Ye. Their glass-like inorganic eyes were crystal clear, and their skin was as delicate and realistic as that of a real cultivator, but some of their metallic structure was also exposed.
Lin Ye tapped on the shells of the electronic pets and sighed.
He bought various mecha girls on the market as technical references.
However, they discovered that over the past thousand years, weapon crafting technology had almost stagnated, with only minor breakthroughs in details.
This gave Lin Ye an additional market for spiritual artifacts, but it also made him feel somewhat disappointed.
"Eleven thousand years ago, I taught weapon crafting in the cultivation world..."
"Eleven thousand years from now, I will still be able to teach others how to forge weapons. Do you know what that means?"
All of this is because the [Devouring Giant] not only absorbed the spiritual energy of the mortal realm, but also disrupted the spiritual energy environment, causing the success rate of various cultivation arts to plummet.
This is still not enough to deal a devastating blow to technological progress.
The key point is that the giant god even interfered with the cultivators' understanding of the Dao.
Nowadays, all cultivators can only focus on studying techniques and spells that are one level below.
Although Lin Ye felt that the cultivators of this era had studied various exquisite techniques and their combat strength was significantly higher than that of cultivators of the same level, compared to the cyber era a thousand years ago.
But the absence of the most crucial element for advanced cultivators—the Dao—is deeply unsettling...
I wonder if the Star Alliance's plan will succeed... Lin Ye waved to the mecha girls.
"Men, prepare the medicinal bath."
"Yes, Master!"
The mecha girls sprang into action, mixing various precious Grade 3 spiritual plants according to standard proportions and melting them into the Xuanbing bathtub.
The mecha girls then lifted Lin Ye up with their bare hands and soaked him in the water.
Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
As a Golden Core cultivator who was "severely injured," the Star Alliance was quite lenient in its procurement standards for Grade 3 spiritual plants for Lin Ye, which was more than enough for him to use alone.
During the Dark Ages, when bloodshed was imminent, no one went out to gather spiritual plants!
Not only have prices skyrocketed, but some medicinal plants that need to be picked fresh are also completely out of stock.
As for Wanshu City, Lin Ye had more money than he could spend, and felt that spiritual plants were practically free.
.......
After soaking in the medicinal bath, Lin Ye felt refreshed and invigorated.
Most importantly, it doesn't cost much.
Compared to the outrageous prices of spiritual plants during the Dark Ages, this is amazing!
It's practically like buying something for free, which is a treat for Lin Ye.
At this moment, Mr. Ye, who had come to inspect the goods, had been waiting in the yard for a while.
He smiled warmly and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin! This time, the goods..."
"Let's go." Lin Ye waved his hand, his words concise and to the point.
After inspecting the samples brought by Lin Ye, Boss Ye's face lit up with joy: "Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Lin, I'll buy as many spiritual artifacts of this quality as you have, at the agreed price!"
Lin Ye took a sip of spiritual tea and smiled, "Boss Ye is very generous."
"Who told Fellow Daoist Lin to be so fierce? Here's what you wanted."
Boss Ye took out a storage ring and pushed it towards Lin Ye across the coffee table.
Lin Ye took out his storage ring and scanned it with his divine sense. The spacious area was filled with spiritual ores for refining weapons, spiritual plants for refining pills, materials for making formations, and so on.
These tools for cultivating immortality were incredibly inexpensive 11000 years after the arts had faded into obscurity.
In the dark ages following the outbreak of bloodshed, things were incredibly expensive!
Especially materials for alchemy and formations!
With this money, he could definitely weather the industry downturn, or rather, there was no downturn for Lin Ye.
Lin Ye accepted the storage ring with satisfaction.
Boss Ye took a sip of spiritual tea, raised his eyes and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I have already asked my superiors about the matter you inquired about."
"The secret realm technique within the body exists!"
Lin Ye's eyes lit up.
Internal Secret Realm Technique!
Legend has it that a super genius developed this rare and special cultivation method, which can create a secret realm within a cultivator's body.
Although it was just a rumor, Lin Ye was quite interested after hearing it.
If you learn it, it's probably equivalent to taking physical cultivation and spiritual practice into account; it's an independent practice area.
The improvement in his combat power will be very significant!
In addition, Lin Ye has another speculation.
The Secret Realm Technique within the Body might be very useful to the Lord of the Great Wilderness.
If she could completely integrate the Great Wilderness into her own inner realm, it would likely be helpful in advancing the mortal world.
If Master could save some of his energy, that would be wonderful.
However, all methods of this era ultimately lack an understanding of the "Tao".
Lin Ye felt that if he took the excellent techniques developed in this era out and let his master study, modify and advance them, the effect would definitely be excellent.
Boss Ye said helplessly, "However, the cultivation of the inner secret realm requires a great deal of resources! Moreover, this is a technique that the Star Alliance only teaches to top geniuses and Nascent Soul ancestors, so it will probably be very difficult to obtain."
"But I know of another place where I might have a chance to obtain it—the Hehuan Sect!"
"The Hehuan Sect...?"
Upon hearing this name, Lin Ye's expression turned somewhat serious.
An old friend...
I knew it!
They remain a powerful force!
If the secret techniques within the body are tightly controlled by the top echelons of the Star Alliance, how could the Hehuan Sect possibly have a backup under normal circumstances?
Boss Ye squinted and smiled, "Yes, just as Fellow Daoist Lin thought, it was obtained through a deal with the top. I believe that almost any method is available there. The Hehuan Sect Master is an extremely resourceful person."
"If Fellow Daoist Lin really wants it, perhaps the only way is through the Hehuan Sect's channels."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye pondered silently.
For nearly a thousand years, the Star Alliance has been a force to which countless sects have come to pay homage!
Although the Hehuan Sect is somewhat dangerous, it must still abide by the Star Alliance laws.
Besides, Lin Ye is an impenetrable tough guy now, what's there to be afraid of... Asking about the situation on the Hehuan Sect's side is also an option.
Lin Ye asked seriously, "Boss Ye, do you have a solution?"
Mr. Ye nodded: "I'll ask for you next time I go."
"Fellow Daoist Lin, I can only do my best to help. You know that the Joyful Union Sect rarely accepts male cultivators, so don't have too high hopes!"
Lin Ye nodded: "I understand."
"Fellow Daoist Lin, I need to remind you of something..."
"Since you're injured, you need to be careful. I don't want to lose your supply."
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Boss Ye's eyes: "These goods are distributed through my channels, so they're not particularly conspicuous and can help you cover them up."
"But you'd better be careful not to leak this to the Star Alliance or the Wanbaolou..."
Lin Ye calmly took a sip of spiritual tea and said, "Of course, thank you for the reminder, Boss Ye."
Boss Ye took away the batch of magical artifacts he had acquired this time and bid farewell in a leisurely manner.
This Boss Ye is the biggest local tyrant in Wanshu City's business world.
Even Wanbaolou had to give him some leeway.
Lin Ye, being a nouveau riche, found a way to get acquainted with Boss Ye.
Now, Boss Ye is clearly reluctant to share his magical artifact, and he has given him a somewhat stern warning.
Lin Ye didn't care.
It's just a business transaction where we use each other. We'll discard each other when we no longer need each other, and we both know that.
