After obtaining the source of the spirit vein.
Ye Qingxuan brought the source of the spirit vein back to the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.
Since there was only one fifth-rank source of the spirit vein, Ye Qingxuan only left two fourth-rank sources of the spirit vein for his mysterious shop.
The remaining one fifth-rank source of the spirit vein and thirteen fourth-rank sources of the spirit vein were all fused by Ye Qingxuan into the Qingxuan Cave Heaven blessed land.
Under Ye Qingxuan’s control of the blessed land’s power to catalyze them, these fused sources of the spirit vein were evolving into spirit veins of corresponding ranks at an extremely fast speed.
It would only take a few days of waiting.
Within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven blessed land, there would be one additional fifth-rank spirit vein and thirteen fourth-rank spirit veins.
Add to that the previous twenty third-rank spirit veins, thirty-six second-rank spirit veins, and sixty-two first-rank spirit veins.
By then, the speed at which the Qingxuan Cave Heaven blessed land absorbed external energy and converted it into origin energy would inevitably surge once again.
The extra first-rank and second-rank spirit veins had slowly evolved after the Qingxuan Cave Heaven blessed land advanced to the mid third-rank stage.
A total of two second-rank spirit veins and four first-rank spirit veins had evolved.
That was why the Qingxuan Cave Heaven blessed land now had thirty-six second-rank spirit veins and sixty-two first-rank spirit veins.
Five days later.
After the newly added one fifth-rank spirit vein and thirteen fourth-rank spirit veins successfully evolved.
Under the blessed land’s instinctive operation.
These newly added spirit veins began to assist the blessed land in opening energy channels and nodes, absorbing external void energy and chaos energy, and converting them into spiritual energy and origin energy.
After Ye Qingxuan sensed the current speed at which the Qingxuan Cave Heaven blessed land converted origin energy, he could not help but reveal a look of joy in his eyes.
The impact of a fifth-rank spirit vein on a third-rank cave heaven blessed land was even greater than Ye Qingxuan had imagined.
Based on the current speed at which the Qingxuan Cave Heaven blessed land converted origin energy, plus the endless supply of Qing Demon Clan corpses transported through the mysterious shop.
Ye Qingxuan estimated that the speed at which the Qingxuan Cave Heaven blessed land would advance to the late third-rank stage would be much faster than when it advanced to the mid third-rank stage.
As for the blessed land’s rules and profound meanings?
Ever since Ye Qingxuan used a seventh-rank world-suppressing stone to set up a sixth-rank world-suppressing grand formation.
The Qingxuan Cave Heaven blessed land had become even more stable, and could release more power to analyze profound rules and accelerate the conversion of origin energy.
With Ye Qingxuan’s endless supply of low-rank spiritual mines and the assistance of a large number of planted spiritual plants.
The profound rules currently evolving in the Qingxuan Cave Heaven blessed land were already enough for it to grow to the peak third-rank level.
So in the short term, Ye Qingxuan only needed to increase the energy supply to the Qingxuan Cave Heaven blessed land and accelerate the conversion of the blessed land’s origin energy.
He did not need to worry about the blessed land’s profound rules.
After the sources of the spirit vein fused into the Qingxuan Cave Heaven blessed land evolved into spirit veins.
Ye Qingxuan had his explorer clone return to the Qingxuan blessed land and bring the remaining two fourth-rank sources of the spirit vein to the mysterious shop in the Xuanmu Realm.
In the mysterious shop, Ye Qingxuan’s clone could not use the heaven-and-earth power of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven blessed land to catalyze the sources of the spirit vein.
So after the explorer clone brought the two fourth-rank sources of the spirit vein.
Ye Qingxuan’s mysterious merchant clone continuously activated the sources of the spirit vein through the infusion of spiritual energy from the city.
Only after a full three months of continuous spiritual energy infusion and activation did the two fourth-rank sources of the spirit vein gradually form two fourth-rank spirit veins.
In the earth beneath the mysterious shop, after the spirit veins took shape, two energy channels were opened within the past few days.
As soon as the two energy channels appeared, they began to draw in void and chaos energy from outside the Xuanmu Realm, continuously converting it into fourth-rank spiritual energy.
Under the guidance of the formation, these converted fourth-rank spiritual energy was successively fed back into the cave residences and courtyards within the mysterious shop.
Not only that, the spiritual energy gathering around the two fourth-rank spirit veins had already begun to slowly condense low-grade and mid-grade spirit stones, piling up in the earth around the spirit veins.
Perhaps, after a long passage of time.
As long as the spirit stones beneath the mysterious shop were not mined, it was not impossible that these two fourth-rank spirit veins would continue to transform and advance.
Most spirit veins were like cultivators; they did not stand at the peak of spirit veins from the very beginning.
The vast majority of spirit veins in the world, from the moment of their birth, slowly grew and transformed over long ages, starting as first-rank spirit veins.
Only in the end did they grow into various high-rank spirit veins.
After the mysterious shop gained two more fourth-rank spirit veins, besides Ye Qingxuan, the first to notice were the Nascent Soul realm cultivators resting in the various cave residences and courtyards of the mysterious shop.
Previously, although the mysterious shop did not lack spiritual energy, most of it was first-rank spiritual energy converted from first-rank demonic energy.
Although first-rank spiritual energy, as long as there was enough of it, could also allow Nascent Soul realm cultivators to recover spiritual power.
The speed of recovery would be much slower, not to mention the speed of cultivation.
When a cultivator increases their cultivation, it is equivalent to continuously expanding a bottle, allowing the bottle to hold more spiritual power.
During this process, the bottle itself would also undergo transformation.
To expand the bottle, one needed to slowly absorb spiritual energy through the mouth of the bottle, convert it into refined spiritual power, polish the bottle, and expand its body.
But when the spiritual power in the bottle was completely depleted, one could directly purify and filter through the bottle body, absorb external spiritual energy, and fill the depleted spiritual power within the bottle.
This bottle was equivalent to a cultivator’s dantian; the mouth of the bottle was equivalent to a cultivator’s spiritual root.
To polish the dantian, expand the dantian’s capacity, compress the concentration of spiritual power within the dantian, and raise one’s cultivation.
One needed to directly infuse spiritual power converted through the spiritual root into the dantian, forcibly polish the dantian, silently expand the dantian’s capacity, and compress the concentration of spiritual power within the dantian.
After the polished dantian’s spiritual power was completely depleted.
A cultivator could directly absorb external spiritual energy through the meridians throughout the body connected to the outer wall of the dantian.
The external spiritual energy would be filtered through the outer wall of the dantian and directly converted into spiritual power to replenish one’s consumption.
When a cultivator raised their cultivation, the outer wall of the dantian would also transform along with the rise in the cultivator’s realm.
Therefore, the purity of the spiritual power filtered out by the outer wall of the dantian differed for cultivators of different realms.
For example, when a Nascent Soul realm cultivator absorbed external spiritual energy to recover spiritual power, the spiritual power converted through the outer wall of the dantian was fifth-rank spiritual power.
The higher the quality of the external spiritual energy absorbed, the faster the filtering speed of the outer wall of the dantian.
So now that fourth-rank spirit veins had been born in the mysterious shop, it could supply fourth-rank spiritual energy.
The Nascent Soul realm cultivators who had originally still been hesitating about whether to temporarily settle in the mysterious shop and use it as their foothold in the Xuanmu Realm.
After sensing that the mysterious shop could supply fourth-rank spiritual energy, they decisively made their decision, wanting to use the mysterious shop as their foothold in the Xuanmu Realm.
After all, now, apart from Xuanmu City.
Most of the other cities that had successfully been forged did not have fourth-rank or above spiritual energy supplies.
There were even a small number of cities where even first-rank spiritual energy was supplied in limited quantities.
Forcing the already not wealthy rogue cultivators to have no choice but to use their own spirit stones to recover spiritual power.
Do not think that maintaining a spiritual energy supply in the Xuanmu Realm is easy.
The spirit veins of the Earth Xuan Realm were not allowed to be destroyed, and currently only sources of demon veins existed in the Xuanmu Realm.
Only the upper levels of the Earth Xuan Realm Alliance had the ability to purify sources of demon veins back into sources of spirit veins.
In other words, the only channel currently available to obtain sources of spirit veins was the Earth Xuan Realm Alliance.
If one wanted to exchange for an alliance source within the Earth Xuan Realm Alliance, one could only accept missions issued by the Earth Xuan Realm Alliance and obtain alliance contribution points.
Ordinary cultivators, even if willing to spend spirit stones to purchase one, had no such channel and could only go take missions from the Earth Xuan Realm Alliance to accumulate alliance contribution points.
But quite a few cultivators had their eyes on the missions of the Earth Xuan Realm Alliance.
For easy missions, mid- and low-rank cultivators without backgrounds in the Earth Xuan Realm could not grab them.
For difficult missions, these mid- and low-rank cultivators without backgrounds in the Earth Xuan Realm lacked the ability to complete them.
So now, in the Earth Xuan Realm, wanting to exchange for a source of a spirit vein was not a simple matter.
There were some cities in the Xuanmu Realm built by rogue cultivators.
They still used first-rank spirit-purifying trees to purify a small amount of first-rank spiritual energy and supply it in limited quantities to the cultivators in the city.
It was precisely because of this that after noticing the mysterious shop began supplying fourth-rank spiritual energy.
The cultivators still resting in the mysterious shop decisively made their decision to temporarily settle in the mysterious shop.
After all, the mysterious shop was located in one of the regions where humans and the Qing Demon Clan were locked in battle.
Settling here could grant no small advantage when hunting Qing Demon Clan members.
