The Soul Hall Master and Duo Ghost Demon Lord arrive at Beiwang Mountain to find the Spirit Stones already taken. The Hall Master instructs the Demon Lord to return and arrange for disciples to mine the remaining stones while he guards the area. Meanwhile, Ji Yuan and Tu Yue are in a hidden cave mansion with a Top-grade Spirit Stone, which Ji Yuan plans to use to upgrade his Spirit Vein. He reflects on his fight with the Duo Ghost Demon Lord and prepares to use the stone and other resources to upgrade the Spirit Vein to Level 4, absorbing the surge of spiritual energy afterward.

Soon, he released his Divine Sense and sensed the current Level 4 [Spirit Vein], realizing that compared to before, it was now twice as large!

It makes sense. With the current Level 4 [Spirit Vein], producing 10,000 pieces of Low-grade Spirit Stones each day, if the volume couldn’t keep up, how crowded would it be?

Not to mention, compared to before, the current [Spirit Vein] also has an added Upper-grade Spirit Stone production area.

Though it can only produce one a day, that single Upper-grade Spirit Stone is worth as much as 10,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones, if not more.

After observing the changes in the [Spirit Vein], Ji Yuan called up the panel.

Since the Spirit Vein has been upgraded to Level 4, it’s time to look at the Spirit Effect of Level 5 [Spirit Vein].

[Spirit Vein: Level 5 (Upgrade Not Possible)]

[Spirit Effect 1: Spiritual Qi concentration within forty miles radius +800%.]

[Spirit Effect 2: Daily production of 100 Upper-grade Spirit Stones, 10,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, 100,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones.]

[Spirit Effect 3: Produces one “Top-grade Spirit Stone” every three years.]

[Upgrade Conditions: 5 Low-grade Purple Spirit Stones; 10 Top-grade Spirit Stones; 10,000 Upper-grade Spirit Stones; 100,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones; 20 drops of Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk. (Not Achieved)]

At a glance, Ji Yuan immediately saw the focus of this upgrade, which is indeed quite different from before.

“5 Low-grade Purple Spirit Stones,” meaning a new currency unit has finally appeared?

Indeed, when a Nascent Soul Cultivator advances to Divinity Transformation, they need Top-grade Spirit Stones.

If that’s the case, then Divinity Transformation Cultivators and Void Refining Cultivators should mostly use Top-grade Spirit Stones for transactions.

So what should the more advanced Integration and Tribulation Cultivators use?

It should be these Purple Spirit Stones.

Ji Yuan had some thoughts in his heart; as for where to find these Low-grade Purple Spirit Stones in the future, he wasn’t worried.

It’s just a matter of waiting until his cultivation and strength increase, then venturing to farther continents, where he will naturally encounter these Purple Spirit Stones.

As for the three Spirit Effects, in Ji Yuan’s view, they are conventional improvements, not particularly surprising.

The only thing that made him a bit expectant was the [Spirit Vein] producing one Top-grade Spirit Stone every three years, which was a bit of a pleasant surprise.

He felt this was normal; as long as the [Spirit Vein] can produce Spirit Stones, that is enough.

As for those fancy things, having [Celestial Craft Square] is sufficient.

After closing the panel, Ji Yuan, with a thought, reached the deepest part of the [Spirit Vein].

Sensing the abundant Spiritual Qi at this location, he also saw the drop of Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk floating before him.

This item can only produce one drop a year.

This means the investment in the early upgrade requires at least five years to break even.

“Tu Yue.”

Ji Yuan softly called.

Immediately, a white light appeared beside him, transforming into an enchanting woman holding a jade clean bottle.

“Collect it.”

“Yes, Master.”

Tu Yue respectfully bowed, then carefully collected the drop of Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk into the jade clean bottle.

After a while, the two returned to the [Cave Mansion].

Tu Yue, looking at Ji Yuan lying on a soft chair seemingly in a daze, asked curiously, “Master, now that we’ve obtained the Top-grade Spirit Stone, are we heading back to Tingtiao Pavilion?”

“This is also something I’m considering.”

If they go back, it’s either to continue in seclusion or to cross the Mirror Flower Water Moon and return to Xingluo Archipelago, and then to the Dan Ding Sect to see if they can obtain Celestial Essence Tree resin.

But if they don’t go back… then Ji Yuan plans to take advantage of the current peace and make a quick trip back to Cangluo.

This time going back, revenge could still be somewhat challenging.

Because to take action against Jiang Hong, one would have to face the Blood Luo King, and this Demon Dao powerhouse is a Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Ji Yuan is quite self-aware, knowing he is definitely not an opponent for a Late-stage Nascent Soul.

Therefore, the focus of his return is to make a trip to Thunder Shock Marsh, to first advance his physique to the Golden Body Profound Bone Realm before anything else.

Only with strong enough power can one have the confidence to face everything.

With this in mind, Ji Yuan had roughly made up his mind.

“Let’s not return to Tingtiao Pavilion for now. We’ll make a trip back home first.”

“Home?”

Tu Yue, hearing this word, was momentarily stunned. After a while, she reacted.

“Master, do you mean… return to Cangluo?!”

Tu Yue’s eyes lit up.

Recently, she’s been thinking more and remembering more.

For instance, when she first followed Ji Yuan at the shores of Cloud Rain Marsh, spending her days feeding chickens, pigs, and fish.

Back then, she had no spiritual wisdom, only doing work day in and day out.

“Yes.”

Ji Yuan stood up and walked towards the outside [Fish Pond], saying:

“In Cloud Rain Marsh, we have an old saying, ‘Returning home in wealth, otherwise it’s like wearing fine clothes at night.’

“Now that I’ve successfully formed my Nascent Soul, shouldn’t I go back and meet some old friends, so they know that I, Ji Yuan, am now a Nascent Soul Cultivator?”

“Great, great!”

Tu Yue thought it sounded interesting, “Long Fei also said the same, saying that now that Master successfully formed his Nascent Soul, he should boldly display his success!”

Saying so, Tu Yue also waved her fist, fiercely stating:

“As for those enemies of Master in the past, if they know that Master has formed a Nascent Soul, they would probably be furious enough to take poison overnight.”

“That’s unlikely.”

Ji Yuan chuckled.

As he reached the [Fish Pond] bank, he called out, “Long Yun.”

From the depths of the fish pond, a Serpent immediately broke through the water’s surface and soared into the air.

“Let’s head out and travel. This time, let’s go to Lindong City first.”

The Teleportation Array leading to Cangluo Continent is in West Border City; Ji Yuan is currently in the northeast of Jiyuan Continent… To go back as quickly as possible, going to Lindong City for the Teleportation Array is the fastest route.
