Honor 7

  Bai Yu hurried back to the White Manor in the city with the Seven Leaf Ling Grass.

  The White Mansion is a large estate covering dozens of acres, with multi-layered buildings and courtyards, all made from the finest spiritual wood from the Tianyun Mountains. The artificial hills and gardens are filled with rare and unknown spiritual flowers and herbs. The entire mansion is home to the White family and hundreds of servants.

  In a place like Tianyun Xianyuan City where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, having a luxurious mansion spanning dozens of hectares is something that only wealthy and powerful families of Great Cultivators can afford.

  Bai Yu returned to the White Mansion and hastily made his way to the alchemy pavilion within, where he saw a middle-aged man with an elegant and noble demeanor emerging from the alchemy pavilion.

  "Father!"

  Bai Yu hastily retreated to one side of the path and bowed respectfully.

  The Tianyun Xianyuan City's Xiuxian aristocratic family has many rules, even between father and son there are complicated formalities that cannot be overstepped. As the eldest son of the White Family, Bai Yu, despite being favored by his elders, did not dare to be arrogant and ignore the family rules.

  "Fei'er is back! Are you going to refine a pill? What's that in your hand?"

  The middle-aged man smiled and said.

  "This is the seven-leaf ginseng I just bought back."

  Bai Yu said with an irrepressible joy.

  "Why do I need to go outside to buy when there are plenty of Seven-leaf Ginseng in our family's medicine warehouse?!"

  A middle-aged man with his hands behind his back frowned upon hearing this.

  "Father, this is a 300-year-old Seven Leaf Spirit Grass! The oldest Seven Leaf Spirit Grass in our family's warehouse is only about one or two hundred years old, and it's clearly inferior to this one."

  Bai Yu hastily explained and opened the jade box, handing it over with both hands.

  "It's so long! The family of all the herbs in Xian City wouldn't spend 300 years cultivating this seven-leaf ginseng... This must have been picked from the depths of Tianyun Mountain, right?! Where did you buy it?"

  The middle-aged man took over the jade box and looked at the seven-leaf ginseng inside, which was as long as a foot and thick, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

  "It's a medicinal herb collected from the wild by a medicine collector! A spirit medicine of such age, even our family can't cultivate it. I see that its age and quality are quite good, so I bought it back, planning to refine it into a Yuanqi Pill. It cost over 600 yuan."

  Bai Yu exclaimed excitedly.

  "This seven-leaf ginseng, combined with some supporting medicinal herbs. After refining it in a furnace, I'm afraid we can produce over 100 Yuanqi Dan pills! The price of over 600 pieces is slightly expensive... but it's worth it to buy this three-hundred-year-old seven-leaf spirit ginseng."

  The middle-aged man said with a sigh.

  An experienced alchemist can estimate the quantity and value of spiritual pills just by taking a glance at the spiritual materials.

  The amount of Dan produced is related to the size of the spiritual medicine itself. Similarly, if it's only a few inches in size, it can only produce more than ten grains of Dan. However, this plant is nearly a foot long and thicker than a wild radish, producing many more grains of Dan.

  "Exactly! Ordinary Seven Leaf Ginseng refined into Yuanqi Dan is worth only two or three pieces of Ling Stone per pill. But this Three-Stage Yuanqi Dan refined from this Seven Leaf Ginseng, one pill is at least worth ten pieces of Ling Stone, and possibly more. The medicinal effect is also several times higher than ordinary Seven Leaf Ginseng Yuanqi Dan. I won't sell this Spirit Pill, my child is currently in the middle stage of Qi refinement, so I plan to take it myself!"

  Bai Yu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, with a hint of flirtation in his tone.

  "Let's go!"

  The middle-aged man nodded.

  "Feather, although you have many brothers and sisters, not many of them are capable. The entire family's efforts are focused on you, the resources invested in you over the years are almost several times that of your other brothers and sisters combined! Whether the White family can maintain its position in Tianyun Xianyuan City depends on your future abilities! This year, not only must we rush to Town Demon Tower, but also grab 90 spots for Xianmen disciples, and strive to occupy the highest ranking possible. We absolutely cannot let other major families in Xiancheng look down on the White family's strength!"

  "But I heard your elder brother say yesterday that you were cultivating in Qing Shan Lake, and as a result, your hut was robbed by someone else and you were driven out?"

  The middle-aged man said in a low voice.

  "Yes!"

  Bai Yu's eyes turned slightly red, and she immediately knelt down on one knee, her face showing a look of shame, lowering her head and not daring to look at the middle-aged man.

  "You failed to retrieve the hut, and instead returned to Xian City in a sorry state! Many families within the city are already discussing this matter, questioning the strength of our White Clan's disciples and whether we can protect the family business passed down by our ancestors... The clan has invested great effort and resources into you, is this how you repay us?"

  A middle-aged man's voice said sternly.

  "You know you're wrong!"

  Bai Yu gritted his teeth, his voice trembling as he spoke. He quickly raised his head, his eyes red as he stared at the middle-aged cultivator. His clenched fists turned white as he declared, "Father, I will refine this Lingdan and return to Qing Shan Lake to cultivate. I will break through to the fifth layer of Qi Refining and reclaim our lost cultivation residence! In three months, I will seize a spot in the top twenty of the Demon-Suppressing Tower! This is my honor, and also the honor of our family. I won't let Father and the family down!"

  "Go! Let the best alchemist in the family refine this Yuanqi Dan for you!"

  The middle-aged man's words struck Bai Yu severely, and he left with his hands in his sleeves.

  Ye Chen took away a book of cultivation of spiritual consciousness after purchasing it and left the large store of Ling Zhen Pavilion.

  He then went to a street stall in the city's main district and bought a set of cyan silk robes and boots. This was a low-priced beginner magic attire that could withstand a few weak beginner magic attacks, although its effectiveness was not great, it was better than nothing.

  In addition, I bought two beast bags, which will be convenient for carrying my own beasts and mounts in the future.

  The immortal mansion has a beast enclosure, which can let the spiritual beasts grow and mature at a faster speed to become high-ranking spiritual beasts. However, if he wants to take the spiritual beasts out of the immortal mansion to fight, it is very inconvenient.

  So in order to avoid frequently taking from the immortal mansion, after raising the spiritual beast, Ye Chen felt that using a spiritual beast bag was more convenient.

  Ye Chen only returned to his small inn after purchasing these, sat cross-legged on the bed, preparing to read the newly bought spiritual cultivation manual.

  "There are many ways to cultivate divine consciousness, the most common one is incremental splitting, each time a divine consciousness splits out, from one split into two, then two split into three, four, five... with no limit in quantity."

  "There is also a kind of divine consciousness that splits and doubles, one becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight......, the number doubles and grows. The fewer times it splits, the more divine consciousness is obtained."

  These were the circumstances Ye Chen learned from Shang Ge's steward.

  Ye Chen flipped open the secret book on his knee.

  "Divine Splitting Technique, doubling and splitting divine consciousness! Divine Splitting Technique first layer, one splits into two. Second layer of Cultivating Divine Consciousness, two split into four. Third layer of Cultivating Divine Decision, four split into eight. And so on. A total of seven layers, cultivating the highest level of this technique can obtain 128 paths of divine consciousness. Remember, do not force cultivation!"

  Ye Chen read the opening words and couldn't help but feel delighted.

  It cost as much as 500 spirit stones to buy this cultivation manual for divine sense, but it seems to be quite good. At least the number of divine senses is sufficient, which also means that he can control more spells and spiritual beasts at the same time.

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  Tonight at 0 o'clock, there is still one more chapter updated.

  Today, March 25th, this week's "Xian Fu Zhi Yuan" is strongly recommended on the starting page of Qidian. Make a final sprint with all one's might for the last week before going online. The next week will also be the last week before going online, and it will be launched on VIP on April 1st. This date is quite "surprising".

  It has been five weeks since February 19th until today, March 25th.

  Ye Chen's road to immortality has just begun, revealing a small corner.

  My "Xian Fu Zhi Yuan" writing journey has just begun. This book is expected to take about two years to write, and at the current update speed, that's around 40-50 million words, which will be longer than "Zi Fu" in terms of word count and higher in content level.

  I don't have too many extravagant hopes, I just want to stay on the battlefield. Wherever I fall, I'll get up from there. All other trivial matters that interfere with writing, put them down, and focus on writing a book. Write a book you want to write, write a good book.
