Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 129 New Energy Pool, Tower Spirit Upgrade
They have already sent some disciples to build living and cultivation areas, so that they can move in directly when the spiritual veins migrate here.

Meanwhile, the Void Heaven Immortal City, located in the central position and now equipped with a fourth-order spiritual vein, has undergone a major construction project, recruiting a large number of independent cultivators for expansion.

After all, the relocation of so many families further boosted the development of the local market.

Because most of the Golden Core families in the Mingkong Islands relocated, the markets and workshops built by those families naturally could not remain and were all moved as well.

Whether it's shops or independent cultivators staying there, they all need to be relocated to Luoxia Island. The current Immortal City would need to expand at least dozens of times to barely accommodate this influx of people.

This approach has both advantages and disadvantages. The downside is that since all the resources are concentrated on Luoxia Island, small, independent cultivators in other areas will be unable to conduct their business unless they are willing to come to Luoxia Island to shop.

The advantage is that by leveraging the resources of those markets and neighborhoods, Luoxia Immortal City can advance even further.

The current Sunset Immortal City has far surpassed the Aurora Immortal City in terms of scale.

However, it is still a whole level below the Void Heaven Immortal City.

Currently, scattered cultivators are gradually moving into Luoxiafang City, with a total population of about one million, and the expansion is still ongoing.

If the number of residents increases by five or six times, the population size will be roughly equivalent.

In addition to a large number of Qi Refining cultivators, quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators also joined in.

It's now clear to everyone that after uniting most of the forces in the Mingkong Islands, Luoxia Island has become the strongest force in the Mingkong Islands.

As for Aurora Immortal City, Su You cannot take action for the time being. Although the relationship between Aurora Immortal City and Void Heaven Sect has weakened considerably, they still hand over most of their profits every year. This is the foundation for their family to maintain their rule over the Bright Sky Islands.

Su You didn't want to provoke the Void Heaven Sect for the time being, after all, there was still a gap in strength between the two, and he also had some ties with the Void Heaven Sect.

His master treated him quite well, so as long as the Void Heaven Sect didn't provoke him, he definitely wouldn't touch the Void Heaven Sect.

For now, Su You only needs this small plot of land on the Mingkong Islands.

After spending half a year in seclusion in the Wizard Tower, constantly refining pills every day, I finally replenished my inventory.

He only refined three types of pills in total. The first type, which he refined the most, was the pill that increased the power of the Golden Core. The second type was the pill that helped break through minor bottlenecks in the Golden Core stage. The third type was the pill that helped break through major bottlenecks, including the Golden Core Formation Pill and the Nascent Soul Pill.

As for other types of pills, including pills for various Qi Refining stages, Foundation Establishment pills, and pills that enhance the power of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, he entrusted all of these to his subordinates for refining.

He has summoned all the alchemists from various families.

Although these families are not very powerful, with only a dozen or so third-tier alchemists among the hundreds of Golden Core families, they are still a large number.

Su You took out some of the improved pill formulas and handed them over to the alchemists to refine. A large number of pills were added to the inventory, which solved the immediate problem. Next, all that was needed was to continue to develop in a cyclical manner, and the sect would be considered to have taken off.

"Master, you were looking for me?" Zhao Yuan arrived at the Wizard Tower.

"This is a Spirit Infant Fruit. Take it and use it. I hope it will help you break through to the Nascent Soul realm." Su You took out a Spirit Infant Fruit.

"Thank you, Master!" Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy.

Although he was completely loyal to Su You, he also had his own will, and breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm was what he pursued throughout his life.

"Now go to the fourth-level cultivation room in the market to cultivate in seclusion. The spiritual energy there is enough to help you break through. Also, spread the word that you have exchanged for a Nascent Soul Pill in preparation for breaking through."

After Su You finished giving his instructions, Zhao Yuan took his leave. Apart from his master's affairs, his most important task was to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

After a while, the Golden Core Ancestors of the Qi and He families also arrived, and Su You also gave each of them a Spirit Infant Fruit.

The three Golden Core Ancestors are all of similar strength, having reached the peak of the Golden Core realm. Their aptitude is also quite good; although they are not Heavenly Spiritual Roots, they are still Secondary Spiritual Roots.

Moreover, they were using the Spirit Infant Fruit, which is more effective in breaking through the Nascent Soul bottleneck, so their chances are still very high.

Therefore, if Su You invests in one Spirit Infant Fruit and succeeds, he will make a profit; if he fails, it doesn't matter, since he still has many Spirit Fruits. However, if you want to get another one from him, it will depend on your merit points.

Su You also hoped to take this opportunity to spread the message. There were still many Golden Core cultivators who were skeptical of him, since their current merits were far from enough to exchange for the treasures on the list, so they could not judge whether the information Su You had shown was true.

However, if the news of exchanging Nascent Soul Pills were spread by these three Golden Core Peak True Persons, and then someone else successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, it would definitely inspire even greater enthusiasm among these cultivators.

really!

After the three of them spread the news that they had exchanged the Nascent Soul Pill and were going into seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, it indeed attracted everyone's attention. According to Xiao Bei's scan, all the Golden Core cultivators' enthusiasm for doing the mission had increased significantly.

Su You's Dream Butterfly Sect has now issued many missions, including acquiring spiritual herbs, refining pills, crafting magical artifacts, cultivating spiritual fields, and collecting the souls of mortals on the continent.

All affairs of Luoxia Immortal City, including those of the Dream Butterfly Sect, are now temporarily handled and arranged by Chen Yuanzong, with Xiao Bei's assistance and guidance on the overall direction.

Chen Yuanzong had lived for several hundred years, and he had been in charge of managing all the affairs of Luoxia Island. Although he was a bit flustered at first, he gradually sorted things out.

Of course, once both expand again, Su You will definitely need more people to manage them separately. As long as he fully controls the managers, has the power of the higher-ups, and has Xiao Bei to scan and supervise, generally there won't be too many deviations.

After half a year of intensive alchemy, Su You finally had time to do his own things.

His next task is still very arduous. The first is to build a more powerful energy pool. This is an urgent matter. Even if the current energy pool is at full power, it can only absorb one percent of the spiritual energy each day.

According to Xiao Bei's statistics, 672 third-order spiritual veins, 1,129 second-order spiritual veins, and nearly 10,000 first-order spiritual veins have been relocated to Luoxia Island. This is equivalent to directly relocating more than 90% of the spiritual veins in the entire Mingkong Islands.

It can be said that the entire Sunset Island is now interwoven with countless spiritual veins, and the spiritual energy it can generate daily is thousands of times greater than before. The current energy pool simply cannot absorb it all.

The second thing is to enhance Xiao Bei's abilities. Su You has already found the relevant methods in the newly acquired inheritance.

After all, the stronger the Tower Spirit's computational ability, the greater the help it will provide to Su You. Thirdly, the Bloodline Warlock Legion can now begin its initial planning and establishment.

He has already given instructions to the patriarchs of various families to select cultivators who are nearing the end of their lifespan or have no potential, so that they can use the first batch of bloodline potions.

There's much more to come, including researching new types of weapon crafting, delving into the forging of natal magic treasures, researching higher-level wizard towers, researching the opening of secret realms, and so on—too many things to list.

The most important things now are still the three things mentioned earlier.

The first thing Su You did was to carefully study the construction method of the energy pool. It was similar to the previous model of energy pool, only requiring changes to some magic patterns and the addition of some accessories.

"Since there's no difficulty, I'll modify the original energy pool first," Su You decided after reviewing all the information.

After all, building a new energy pool would take some time, so it's better to make the modifications quickly to avoid wasting a lot of spiritual energy.

Although this amount of spiritual energy is just a drop in the ocean for the Dream Butterfly Mirror, it is still quite considerable over time.

Moreover, once this energy is accumulated, even if the Dream Butterfly Mirror doesn't need it, the Wizard Tower will be able to use it in the future.

After all, once a natal magic weapon is crafted in the Wizard Tower, it becomes essentially without a source of energy. Unless it is placed on a spiritual vein, it has no energy source when carried around, which requires a large amount of energy reserves.

Of course, more advanced energy pools also have the ability to absorb void energy, but they are far beyond what he can currently refine.

According to the information Su You obtained from the Pearl of Inheritance, many wizard towers plant a large number of Void Trees inside, and then use them to extract Void energy and convert it into the power of the wizard tower.

I wonder if there are similar spiritual roots in the world of cultivation.

After spending ten days refining some of the components, Su You stopped the constantly running energy pool, transferred all the spiritual liquid inside, and began the expansion.

Expansion is different from rebuilding; it requires more meticulous operation. Fortunately, Su You's mental strength was strong enough, and he was amplified within the Wizard Tower, so he was able to complete it with great difficulty.

Three days later, Su You looked at the completed, ugly-looking energy pool and sighed, "It was really difficult, but thankfully it was a success."

Next came the official activation. Su You moved away from the energy pool and then had Xiao Bei restart it.

The instant the energy pool reopened, a storm of spiritual energy swept around the entire wizard tower. Countless streams of spiritual energy surged in, only to vanish without a trace, as if swallowed by a black hole.

Under Xiao Bei's control, the fourth-order grand formation began to draw spiritual energy from various spiritual veins to this location.

After a day of operation, Su You was able to confirm that the energy pool was running smoothly, but it was still far from sufficient to meet the current massive amount of spiritual energy.

The energy pool's absorption capacity is now fifty times that of before, meaning that at least two are needed to barely make a difference. Considering that the spiritual veins may increase in the future, Su You decided to refine two more.

Anyway, the difficulty of refining the energy pool is not high. The most difficult part is the inscription of these magic patterns. As long as you are skilled, you can draw them on with ease.

Recreating the energy pool this time was not as simple as before; it took him two whole months to complete.

With these three high-power energy pools, the absorption rate of spiritual energy is finally sufficient to meet the daily spiritual energy generated by the spiritual veins themselves.

However, this amount of spiritual energy is far from enough for the Dream Butterfly Mirror; another method needs to be devised.

Blood Soul Continent is Su You's next target. Although all the spiritual veins here have been transformed into yin veins, they are still energy, so there is no problem in the transformation.

The only thing to consider is how to ensure that the energy pool operates there without being disturbed by the evil spirits.

After all, the energy pool absorbs and transforms yin energy, and the energy it gathers will definitely attract countless yin spirits. If this problem is not solved, the energy pool cannot stand there for even a day.

After thinking for a while and still not finding a good solution, Su You turned his attention to the tower spirit.

Enhancing the Tower Spirit's computing power is of utmost urgency, especially now that the permanent population on Luoxia Island has exceeded six million, including one million people from Luoxia Immortal City and more than five million people brought over by various families. This figure doesn't even include the number of mortals who haven't migrated over yet.

Luoxia Island has begun a new round of land reclamation. Once the land area expands, a large number of ordinary people will migrate here to live, and the population may exceed 100 million.

Therefore, Beckham's computing ability urgently needs to be enhanced so that he can better monitor information on the island.

After all, Beckham's current maximum detection range is two thousand miles. If the island expands again, the detection range may not even be enough.

The enhancement of a tower spirit is quite simple. The first method is to move it into a more powerful container, which will allow its spirituality to be nurtured slowly. The second method is to use treasures to increase its spirituality.

This requires treasures of the soul type.

Since Su You happened to have such a treasure, the second method was naturally the best option.

Actually, Su You also had some ideas for the first method, which was the Dream Butterfly Mirror.

The Dream Butterfly Mirror was severely damaged, causing its spirit to perish. It no longer has any spirit.

If the Dream Butterfly Mirror could be used as a medium, then Xiao Bei's computing power would definitely be greatly enhanced.

The idea is good, but putting it into practice is simply impossible.

After all, the gap between the two is too great, like an ant trying to shake a tree. The only way is to continuously improve Xiao Bei's spirituality until he has the opportunity to occupy the Dream Butterfly Mirror.

In the following period, Su You continuously used the witch array to refine soul-type treasures and transform them into spiritual essence, which he then infused into Xiao Bei.

Xiao Bei's calculation ability also increased little by little until the fourth-tier soul treasure could no longer improve it, at which point he stopped.

I retested Xiao Bei's abilities, and they've improved by about ten times. That's barely enough to use, at least enough to handle things on Luoxia Island.
