Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 137 Developing the Heavenly Vine

Su You's cultivation was still at the Golden Core stage, so he was naturally unaffected. However, his spiritual sense was somewhat suppressed, and he could only exert the level of the peak Golden Core stage when he was outside.

However, with the Star Ring on his hand, he didn't need to worry about any danger.

After leaving the main force of the demon race, Su You restored his own appearance, then concealed his form and moved forward quickly.

His goal in going to the secret realm was not to search for treasures or explore mysteries, but to set up a teleportation array.

This secret realm was not completely controlled by the Great Demon King Qingyan, because a secret realm that is completely controlled can be opened and developed at any time, rather than entering it according to the rules of its operation.

The demon race clearly lacks the technology of the human race and can only make rudimentary use of this secret realm.

However, things were different when it came to Su You.

Although he also found a way to modify the secret realm within the Dream Butterfly Sect, it was still somewhat difficult for him to do it all by himself.

Fortunately, the teleportation array he mastered could teleport over extremely long distances, so even if the secret realm was in operation, he could still teleport in anytime and anywhere.

Moreover, allowing the Dream Butterfly Mirror to absorb more of the secret realm's essence would also benefit him, enabling him to repair the Dream Butterfly Mirror sooner.

The Great Wilderness Secret Realm is different from the secret realms Su You entered before.

There is a sense of ancient wilderness here, with flowers and plants reaching several meters in height, and trees that are dozens of meters tall. There are even many trees that are hundreds of meters tall, piercing into the sea of ​​clouds.

The beasts here are extraordinary, each one as large as an ox, with bodies that can easily reach tens of feet in length.

As Su You walked among the grass and trees, it felt as if he had entered a world of giants.

He casually killed a second-tier savage beast nearby, and dissected its skin and bones. The flesh inside was exquisitely textured, firm, and contained rich spiritual energy. It could be said that all the spiritual energy of this savage beast was concentrated in its body.

No wonder those demonic beasts were so enthusiastic about hunting savage beasts.

Every part of this savage beast—its flesh, bones, and even its skin—is a treasure.

This is much more valuable than the physical body of a demon beast.

With a snap of his fingers, Su You caused the blood in the beast's body to converge, continuously compress and purify, until finally three drops of blood-red essence blood fell into his hand.

"This is good stuff!" Su You exclaimed in surprise.

The quality of this essence blood is far superior to that of the essence blood of demonic beasts of the same level.

Su You looked eagerly at the Great Wilderness Secret Realm; this place truly was a treasure trove.

He has already decided that once the teleportation array is set up, he will begin to gather people to build a celestial city inside and organize his subordinates to hunt.

After all, the flesh and blood of these savage beasts also have a great effect on those bloodline sorcerers.

Sensing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, Su You moved towards the direction where the spiritual energy was most abundant.

Teleportation arrays must be built on spiritual veins; otherwise, the spiritual stones required for such long-distance teleportation would be a huge expense.

After searching for a while, Su You finally found a mid-grade third-tier spiritual vein, where a late-stage third-tier savage beast resided.

Dealing with this savage beast was extremely simple; I didn't even need to use magic. I killed it directly with my mental power.

After dissecting the third-tier savage beast, Su You discovered that unlike the demon race, it did not have a demon core inside its body.

This is clearly why the beast's entire body is filled with spiritual energy.

Keep the beast's flesh and blood safe; even Su You would still find some benefit in flesh and blood of this level.

Although he possessed the talent of the Heavenly Silkworm Life and Death Transformation, he could easily improve his physical body, so he still planned to take it easy.

After dealing with the third-tier savage beast, Su You began to clear the territory, took out the teleportation array that had already been set up, and then set up another array next to it, finally connecting the spiritual vein and the teleportation array.

As he activated the teleportation array, the light on it flickered continuously, and after flickering dozens of times, it finally stabilized.

"Thankfully, it was successfully activated." Su You felt somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, this is a secret realm. Although it is a large secret realm with a deeper spatial barrier, it is still connected to the Yun'an World. Compared to the real world barrier, it is relatively easy to penetrate.

Su You jumped onto the teleportation array and began testing it back and forth.

After several teleportations, Su You assessed that the spiritual energy generated by the current third-tier mid-grade spiritual vein could withstand about three round trips of teleportation array per day.

The teleportation array can transport 100 people at a time, and 300 people per day.

Three hundred cultivators a day is indeed a small number, as large-scale secret realms differ from medium and small-scale ones.

It should be noted that he had previously sent tens of thousands of cultivators to the medium-sized Hongya Secret Realm, and it took two months to basically collect all the resources inside.

Now they are facing a large secret realm, not only a hundred times larger than a medium-sized secret realm, but also filled with countless dangers.

Savage beasts of the same level are much stronger than demonic beasts, so it will be difficult for Su You to conquer this place in a short period of time.

Moreover, there are quite a few third-tier savage beasts in this secret realm, which makes it even more difficult.

This is also why Su You plans to establish a celestial city here. He intends to send a large number of cultivators here and also recruit people from the rogue cultivators to develop it together.

In any case, the greatest benefits will ultimately be in his hands.

The first batch of one hundred Golden Core cultivators arrived at the Great Wilderness Secret Realm via a teleportation array. Their mission was to first establish a small base here and then explore the surrounding area on a limited scale.

The true exploration of the Great Wilderness's hidden realm will require Su You's intervention.

This time, he specially moved all the wizard towers from Sunset Island over.

The purpose was to allow Xiao Bei to conduct a detailed scan of the Great Wilderness Secret Realm, then draw up specific map information, marking the spiritual veins, minerals, spiritual herbs, savage beasts, and other information within, so that his subordinates could quickly develop the area.

The first map shows the area within a thousand miles of this temporary base.

Su You did not have Xiao Bei turn the scanning range to its maximum, but instead performed a deeper and more detailed scan.

Although it consumes a lot of energy, it is only a drop in the ocean compared to the energy stored up over many years.

"Changming, this is a map of the surrounding area, covering a thousand miles. Next, copy the information from the jade slip and send it to the others, and lead them in groups to explore," Su You instructed.

This time, he didn't send any Nascent Soul experts. If they entered the secret realm, they could only exert the strength of the peak Golden Core stage at most. It would be better for them to stay in places like Luoxia Island to prevent any accidents from happening.

"Yes, Sect Master," the middle-aged man in a light blue robe replied earnestly.

This is the Golden Core cultivator that Su You has seen. Whether it is strength, aptitude, or ability, he is considered top-notch.

He would also like to see more people like this who can exert their initiative and drive, so that his burden can be reduced.

"This time, we should prioritize exploring those spiritual vein areas and transfer them over as soon as possible so that we can send in more manpower," Su You continued to instruct.

This operation is no small matter; he has already sent out messages to ensure that everyone, from sect members and independent cultivators to members of various families, has received them. For this operation, Su You has made a promise: anyone who earns a certain amount of merit can exchange it for a Golden Core or even a Nascent Soul Pill.

The sect now has a very sufficient reserve of various elixirs.

In particular, his continuous takeover of various forces has allowed him to gather a considerable number of talented individuals, including dozens of third-tier alchemists.

They are capable of refining most common pills, including Foundation Establishment Pills and some pills that increase the power of Golden Core cultivators.

Now Su You only needs to refine two kinds of pills: the Golden Core Pill and the Nascent Soul Pill. After all, his pill refining skills are the best, his success rate is the highest, and he can also reduce losses.

However, with the spread of various alchemy and weapon-refining traditions within the sect, a group of talents should be able to be cultivated soon, and the level of the original alchemists should also be able to be greatly improved.

Su You was already mentally prepared for the strategy of conquering the Great Wilderness Secret Realm.

Those Golden Core cultivators teamed up to deal with the third-tier savage beasts, while those Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Refining cultivators teamed up to deal with the first-tier and second-tier savage beasts.

Developing one area at a time, we'll eventually be able to complete the development of the entire secret realm.

After giving his instructions, Su You continued to explore. When he arrived at a new place, he took out the Wizard Tower and scanned the surrounding area.

"This secret realm is truly a treasure trove!" Su You couldn't stop smiling.

The value of the Great Wilderness Secret Realm lies not only in its savage beasts, but also in its astonishing abundance of spiritual minerals and medicinal herbs, making it a treasure trove yet to be fully explored.

If it can be fully developed and utilized, or even repaired in one step, the Dream Butterfly Mirror can be initially repaired instead of needing to devour ten or so secret realms as previously thought.

……

half a month later.

"What is this?" Su You looked ahead in surprise.

It was a plant located in the center of the secret realm, surrounded by thousands of third-tier savage beasts, with dozens of fourth-tier savage beasts in the center.

This is a vine that stretches across the heavens and the earth, thousands of feet wide and incredibly tall.

Su You could sense the boundless vitality and spiritual energy emanating from the vines.

"Could this be the secret behind the abundance of resources within this secret realm?" Su You wondered to himself.

indeed!

Even if this is a large secret realm, it is impossible for it to have such abundant resources, and the number of savage beasts here is ridiculously high.

Now that such a special plant has suddenly appeared in the center of the secret realm, it's hard not to think about this.

"Xiao Bei, search the database and find out what this vine is?" Su You quickly asked.

After a few breaths, Beckham provided detailed information.

The Heavenly Vine: An extremely special spiritual root that can grow to connect heaven and earth and can grow infinitely. Its vines and roots have a strong penetrating ability to penetrate the barriers of the world.

There are very few records of this kind of spiritual root dream butterfly sect, but the records do mention that someone from the Lingbao sect once used the Tongtian Vine as the main material to refine magic weapons.

He eventually mastered a ninth-tier magic weapon, which was adept at breaking through the void and could travel freely between different worlds.

Arriving beside the Heavenly Vine, Su You observed it carefully and concluded that this vine was likely just a branch of the main vine.

With his skill and daring, he quickly approached and began climbing up the vines.

It wasn't that he didn't want to fly up, but there was a strange force near the vines that prevented him from flying in the air. The only way to get up was to climb the vines.

Leaping continuously across the vines, Su You reached the summit at an incredible speed.

It can't be considered the peak either, because he couldn't go any higher.

Above him was a spatial barrier, the edge of the sky above this secret realm.

But at the end there is a huge hole, and this vine extends down from this hole, which may be the true location of the Heavenly Vine.

After a moment's thought, Su You stopped and decided not to continue exploring the void.

Because this carries enormous risks.

Although he was not afraid of dying, he was afraid of losing the sect leader's star ring in his hand.

The twin clones' cultivation levels are still low, and they have only just begun to understand the Dream Butterfly Scripture. To control the Dream Butterfly Mirror, they will have to rely on the Star Ring for the time being.

However, once the twin clones inherit the legacy of the Pill Spirit Secret Realm, they can go and explore it.

Su You had a hunch that the greatest treasure and most precious wealth in this secret realm was actually the Heavenly Vine, and the other end of the vine.

Putting aside his desire to explore, he carefully left the vines and continued scanning the map of this secret realm; he had only scanned a quarter of the area so far.

……

Two months later.

Su You returned to the original base he had established.

It can no longer be called a base; it has become a massive immortal city.

Cultivators came and went in and out of the immortal city.

For those independent cultivators, this secret realm is a tremendous opportunity.

This place is rich in resources, and treasures can be found everywhere. More importantly, the Dream Butterfly Sect promises that for every savage beast handed over, one can obtain corresponding merit points, which can be used to exchange for various treasures.

Pills like Foundation Establishment Pills, which are usually unaffordable, are considered ordinary pills here. The Golden Core Pills and Nascent Soul Pills on the list are the real targets of everyone's competition.

Moreover, within this immortal city, only the shops owned by Su You's forces have a monopoly on business.

Here, you can use merit points to exchange for various resources in the shop.

Even if he were to import large quantities of magical artifacts, pills, and spirit rice from other major states, he could still make a fortune.

In addition, Su You also acquires various treasures gathered in the secret realm, for which he has prepared a large amount of spirit stones.

The sect's current spirit stone reserves have reached two billion, which is barely enough to meet the currency circulation needs of the entire Immortal City.

After all, once spirit stones are distributed, they quickly return to his hands through the shops, so this amount of reserves is enough for now.

Moreover, selling savage beasts only grants merit points, which saves a significant amount of spirit stones.

However, Su You still needs to consider how to turn the savage beasts into profits. He currently has a large number of savage beasts in his possession, and he needs to make good use of them.
