Cangling Immortal Clan

Chapter 40 The middle stage of Qi refining
After deciding to teach the method of pseudo-Taoist soldiers, Ye Linyuan taught the method of pseudo-Taoist soldiers on the same day.

Hundreds of men from the Ye family learned the method of pseudo-Taoist soldiers that day and began to embark on the path of martial arts training.

As for the other six villages with different surnames, Old Man Ye decided to wait for a while, allowing the Ye family to improve their strength first, and then teach them the pseudo-Taoist martial arts.

In fact, Ye Linyuan also wanted to teach it to the female members of the family, but was stopped by Old Man Ye.

This is not only because Old Man Ye favors boys over girls, the fundamental reason is to keep it secret, because most of the girls in the Ye family who don't have spiritual roots need to marry out, and once they are married, they are no longer under the control of the Ye family.

At that time, this pseudo-Taoist military technique would be at risk of being leaked, and might even help several villages with other surnames to rise, which might not be a good thing for the Ye family.

After all, there is no such thing as gender equality in this world. A daughter who is married off is like water spilled, so they can't help but consider their own children.

By then, when this kind of pseudo-Taoist martial arts spreads, it might threaten the Ye family's rule over Yejia Island.

Therefore, Old Man Ye simply decided not to pass on the inheritance to his female relatives, and concentrated on training the male members of the family, hoping to cultivate a group of helpers who could be comparable to those at the third level of Qi training.

Ye Linyuan did not insist on this. After all, the Ye family was not strong enough now, and the more people practiced this kind of martial arts, the greater the danger of exposure.

Instead of training a large number of half-baked pseudo-Taoist soldiers, it is better to concentrate on training a hundred or so powerful pseudo-Taoist soldiers, so that one day they can wipe out the Lin family in one battle and avenge the shame of that day.

"Gou Jian slept on firewood and tasted gall in the past, only then could he destroy Wu and avenge his hatred."

"The Ye family is now cultivating martial arts and forging weapons. In ten years, they will surely sweep away the Lin family and become the new masters of the seven islands of Xinghu."

On this day, Ye Linyuan stood on the high platform, looking at the Ye family members practicing martial arts in the square, and a hint of awe could be seen in his eyes.

He knew very well that one day, when this force grew up, it would become a sharp weapon in his hands.

In the following time, Ye Linyuan's days became more and more fulfilling.

The first thing he did every day was to practice. After completing his practice, he would take care of ten acres of fertile land, and then go down the mountain to teach his tribesmen to practice Taoist martial arts.

The reason why he personally supervised the Ye family was because Ye Linyuan wanted to completely control this power.

Because he knew very well that once this pseudo-Taoist army grew up, it would be a force of nearly a hundred people at the third level of Qi training. If they were equipped with armor and weapons and formed into a battle formation, they could even surround and kill those in the late stage of Qi training.

If this power is controlled by someone else, it will pose a considerable threat to Ye Linyuan.

Having lived three lives as a human being and as a former Jindan cultivator, Ye Linyuan knows too well the cruelty of this world. Only by mastering violence can one become the rule maker of this world.

Before he breaks through the foundation, whoever can master this power will become the master of the Ye family.

The other cultivators of the Ye family did not interfere with this. Old Man Ye naturally supported them wholeheartedly, and Ye Qinchu and others were also smart people and did not show any desire to fight for it.

Ever since the last time the Ye family crisis was resolved with the help of Ye Linyuan’s connections, no one in the Ye family dares to look down on Ye Linyuan anymore.

After all, the eldest grandson of the Ye family has shown extraordinary means, and whether in terms of intelligence, calculation, or potential, he is the best candidate to be the helmsman of the Ye family.

Now, within the entire Ye family, no one dares to underestimate Ye Linyuan. They all understand that Ye Linyuan will be the future master of the Ye family and believe that he will lead the Ye family to rise.

Judging from the fact that Ye Linyuan took control of the pseudo-Tao soldiers in the first place, this young master of the Ye family must be a very decisive person.

If one follows such a person, he may be able to rise to prominence with the rise of the Ye family, but if one resists him, he may very likely suffer an irreparable end. "..."

Time flies, years pass, and in the blink of an eye, almost a year has passed.

Until this day, an astonishing aura suddenly burst out from the spiritual eye of the cave, and then a moon-white figure slowly walked out of it.

"The breakthrough was successful."

Old Man Ye stood outside the cave, looking at Ye Linyuan who walked out in front of him, and couldn't help but smile.

But when he stood up, he couldn't help but excitedly pulled Ye Linyuan and said: "You finally broke through. My Ye family finally has a second person in the middle stage of Qi training. From now on, I can die with peace of mind."

Old Man Ye was in tears. For a man over eighty years old, it was hopeless for him to reach the foundation-building stage in this lifetime.

Being able to witness the emergence of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator in his family before his death, he could put his worries aside even if he died.

Because in the world of cultivating immortals, the initial stage of Qi training is just the bottom layer. Without the care of the middle stage of Qi training, it is impossible to protect the spiritual veins. The only outcome is to become a casual cultivator.

Those in the middle stage of Qi Refining are barely able to gain a foothold and can protect the family inheritance such as the lower-grade spiritual eye. Even if they become a wandering cultivator, they still have the opportunity to re-occupy a spiritual vein with their clansmen.

The most important thing is that Ye Linyuan is still very young. Considering his age, it is very likely that he will break through to the late stage of Qi training in the future.

Once he breaks through to the late stage of Qi training, the Ye family will surely be able to prosper again for a hundred years and lay the foundation for becoming a major Qi training family.

"Thank you, grandfather, for protecting Yuan'er."

Ye Linyuan smiled slightly, and a hint of joy appeared in his calm eyes.

This time, after breaking through to the middle stage of Qi training, his true Qi increased by 80%, and he possessed a total of ten streams of true Qi. The thickness of his true Qi increased by nearly times compared to before.

In addition, after being compressed, the quality of his true Qi increased by about 50% compared to before, which also increased the power of his spells by 50%.

With his current strength, if he activates the shortcut spell, he will be able to fight against the seventh level of Qi training head-on. Even with his experience in fighting in his previous life, he is confident that he can defeat most of the seventh level of Qi training.

In addition, after this breakthrough, his cultivation speed has also improved to a certain extent.

Originally he could only refine two strands of spiritual energy a day, but now he can refine three strands of spiritual energy.

Of course, although his cultivation speed increased by 50%, it would not be easy for him to make a breakthrough next time.

Because the compressed true Qi widens the meridians, the true Qi that can be tolerated in the middle stage of Qi training is greatly improved. If one wants to cultivate to perfection in the middle stage of Qi training, the true Qi that needs to be accumulated is several times more than before.

Generally speaking, if one wants to cultivate to perfection in the middle stage of Qi training, one needs to accumulate about thirty Qi.

With the cultivation speed of three spiritual roots, without the assistance of spiritual rice and other resources, if one only relies on the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins to practice, it will take about twenty years to cultivate to the sixth level of Qi training.

Ye Linyuan refined the rare treasure Water Spirit Pearl and doubled his cultivation speed, but it would still take about ten years to complete the accumulation.
