Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 145 Dream Butterfly Storyboard: A Review of Wealth
After seeing the group of cultivators off, Su You shook his head helplessly.

Actually, he hesitated for a moment, wanting to keep this group of cultivators.

Those cultivators who are sent to the Danling Secret Realm by various forces must at least have good talent in alchemy.

If we can capture and control them all at once, it will definitely be of great help.

However, this thought only flashed through his mind before he gave up on it. Even with the Book of Souls, he couldn't control many cultivators.

Not to mention that these disciples are all direct descendants and core members of their respective sects, making them even more difficult to control than the cultivators Su You had previously managed.

Moreover, after Su You took control of the Qionghua Cauldron, he no longer lacked the resources to train disciples, so he might as well train them himself slowly.

After expelling these cultivators, Su You manipulated the Qionghua Cauldron to sink again, returning to the depths of the earth's veins.

He did want to take the Qionghua Cauldron with him, but he couldn't afford to support the entire ecosystem within it.

The Danling Secret Realm within the Qionghua Cauldron is a secret realm independent of the world, existing solely within a magical artifact.

Therefore, there are no spiritual veins inside, and even if there were, they would be useless. The spiritual energy supply system inside relies entirely on the Qionghua Cauldron for absorption.

Within the Danling Secret Realm, there are two main sources of spiritual energy consumption. The first is the spiritual herbs and roots planted within the realm, which account for the majority of the spiritual energy consumption. The other small portion is used for the Iron Wall system that nurtures the pills, as well as the spiritual energy consumed when the Qionghua Cauldron operates on its own.

Previously, the Qionghua Cauldron had always been moored deep underground.

On one hand, it uses the endless power of the earth's fire to temper the cauldron, and on the other hand, it absorbs the fire-attribute spiritual energy near the earth's core.

The Earth's core is the heart of a realm, and even the spiritual veins above the earth rely on drawing spiritual energy from the earth's veins and core to continuously produce spiritual energy.

The Qionghua Cauldron remained there, possessing an inexhaustible supply of spiritual energy that could be drawn from it.

Although the area is filled with fire-attribute spiritual energy, the Qionghua Cauldron is a pill furnace. After absorbing this massive amount of fire-attribute spiritual energy, its fire nature is removed, and the attribute-free spiritual energy is all poured into the Pill Spirit Secret Realm. Moreover, the quality of the spiritual energy is equivalent to that produced by a fifth-order spiritual vein.

According to the information provided by the Qionghua Mark, in order to maintain the normal operation of the Qionghua Cauldron, or even to maintain the normal use of the Danling Secret Realm, the amount of spiritual energy generated daily by the ten fifth-order spiritual veins is required to meet the normal needs.

Although Su You possessed many spiritual veins, their quality was far inferior.

In the Great Wilderness Secret Realm, Su You collected far too many spiritual veins, and the spiritual energy produced every day was also a massive amount, but in terms of quality, the highest level was only the third rank.

The spiritual energy inputted into the Pill Spirit Secret Realm is sufficient for planting ordinary spiritual herbs, but it is insufficient to supply spiritual roots and high-age spiritual herbs.

It should be noted that the reason why the spiritual herb garden in the Dream Butterfly Sect has so many high-aged spiritual herbs is largely due to the sect's sixth-level spiritual vein.

If it were a third- or fourth-order spiritual vein, it could probably only grow spiritual herbs that would last for ten thousand years, which would be the limit. Only higher-grade spiritual energy could break through the upper limit of the growth period of spiritual herbs.

Therefore, Su You can only leave the Qionghua Cauldron here for the time being to prevent the ecosystem within the Danling Secret Realm from collapsing.

He even needs to bring the Tower Spirit over to help him manage the puppets in the secret realm.

These puppets in the secret realm were all previously controlled by the artifact spirits. Now that the artifact spirits are gone, it will indeed cause some chaos inside.

By manipulating the Qionghua Cauldron to descend continuously, Su You could observe the outside world through this magical artifact.

In just a few breaths, the Qionghua Cauldron returned to its original position.

As the Qionghua Cauldron began to rotate, the endless fire spirit energy around it was absorbed into the cauldron. Inside the cauldron, the fire element was absorbed by the formation, and the remaining spirit energy was transferred into the Pill Spirit Secret Realm.

The extracted fire element was not without its uses. It was continuously refined by the array, eventually forming fiery red crystals that settled at the bottom of the alchemy furnace.

Countless of these crystals were deposited at the bottom of the alchemy furnace.

According to the information in the Qionghua Mark, these crystals can be ignited and used as fuel for alchemy, and the effect is not bad, equivalent to the effect of fifth-order earth fire.

As Su You gradually mastered and understood the Qionghua Cauldron, he also became more familiar with and understood everything here.

He also controlled the Qionghua Cauldron using the Qionghua Mark, causing it to operate on its own.

Once it enters a self-sustaining state, it no longer needs his control or management.

"We'll have to wait a while longer before we can move the Qionghua Cauldron away," Su You said, shaking his head helplessly.

Actually, he was still somewhat worried about placing the Qionghua Cauldron deep within the earth's veins.

Although there is endless, fierce fire here, and even a Nascent Soul expert cannot get close, it is still safer to keep it in one's own hands.

Moreover, the Yun'an Realm has a very deep foundation. There are so many Nascent Soul experts on the entire continent, and it's possible that there are even hidden Void Refinement experts.

However, generally speaking, once someone advances to the Refinement of Emptiness realm, they are unlikely to want to stay in the lower realm.

On the one hand, once they reach this level of cultivation, they can no longer find the resources of their sea of ​​consciousness in the lower realms, and even the supply of spiritual energy for their daily cultivation may not be able to be met.

The second issue is lifespan. It should be noted that experts at the Refinement of Void realm, if they have sufficient strength, can achieve an infinite lifespan.

Once the Refinement of Void realm reaches its lifespan limit, it will encounter the Tribulation of Primordial Qi. As long as it can overcome the Tribulation of Primordial Qi, it can restore a large amount of lifespan. This is why it is said that the Refinement of Void realm can achieve endless lifespan.

However, in the lower realm, a Void Refinement expert will perish directly when their lifespan is up, and there will be no primordial energy calamity.

The Tribulation of Primordial Energy can only occur in worlds with abundant spiritual energy, such as the Spirit Realm. Worlds with lower levels of spiritual energy, like the Yun'an Realm, cannot generate the Tribulation of Primordial Energy at all.

Although the probability of encountering a Void Refinement cultivator is very low, it is still necessary to be cautious.

Next, Su You plans to focus all his efforts on repairing the Dream Butterfly Mirror. Once the Dream Butterfly Mirror is repaired to 50%, he will be able to utilize more of its abilities.

For example, through spatial teleportation, he could put the entire Dream Butterfly Sect mountain range back into the outside world.

At that time, the sixth-order spiritual veins within the Dream Butterfly Sect will be able to reconnect with the earth veins of this world, continuously obtaining spiritual energy.

With a sixth-tier spiritual vein, Su You could transfer the Qionghua Cauldron here. The spiritual energy provided by a sixth-tier spiritual vein was much stronger than that underground. Teleport!
As soon as the thought arose, Su You used the Dream Butterfly Mirror to teleport back into the Dream Butterfly Mirror.

Over the years, he also crafted a batch of Dream Butterfly storyboards. After rewarding his subordinates with some, he kept one for himself for use when traveling.

With the Dream Butterfly Mirror, he can quickly return to the Dream Butterfly Mirror, which he then takes into the Great Wilderness Secret Realm. He only needs to teleport once more to easily return to Sunset Island.

It's a pity that the Dream Butterfly storyboard is of too low a grade. If it were upgraded to the fifth grade, he could teleport to another fifth-grade Dream Butterfly storyboard, thus connecting the entire world.

However, it is not something that can be achieved in a short time. He has bestowed many Dream Butterfly Mirrors upon him, and they have all mastered some of the Dream Butterfly Mirror's abilities, especially its illusionary abilities, which are extremely powerful.

For these cultivators, the Dream Butterfly Mirror is an extremely powerful magic weapon. In addition, these mirrors also have the ability to teleport. Su You is not planning to activate it for the time being. He will consider it after he has further repaired the Dream Butterfly Mirror.

After all, this teleportation ability requires a lot of spiritual energy and cannot be used casually.

Even at its peak, the Dream Butterfly Sect did not grant the Dream Butterfly Mirror Transmission ability casually; only core disciples possessed this ability.

Upon returning to Sunset Island, Su You took the entire Wizard Tower with him.

He rushed back so urgently that he didn't even bother to take stock of the specific spoils inside the Qionghua Cauldron, all to bring the Tower Spirit Xiao Bei over and have it temporarily take the place of the artifact spirit to help him manage the entire Danling Secret Realm.

The sudden loss of the artifact spirit in the Danling Secret Realm has caused the puppets inside to stop functioning. While the problem may not be immediately apparent, it will have a significant impact on the ecosystem within over time.

This time, returning was not so convenient; I still had to use the teleportation arrays of various immortal cities to get back to Danzhou.

This time, Su You did not go directly to the lava field, but stopped next to it.

You should know that his direct expulsion of all the geniuses caused a huge commotion, and there are definitely many cultivators still there searching for the reason.

Fortunately, after he took control of the Qionghua Cauldron, he could teleport in without even getting close, as long as he was within a thousand miles.

Returning to the Danling Secret Realm of Qionghua Cauldron, Su You took out the Wizard Tower and stood it on the ground.

Although there are no spiritual veins here, the energy pool is able to absorb the surrounding free energy. With the energy pool's reserves, even without external spiritual energy replenishment, the wizard tower can operate normally for hundreds of years.

After Su You granted Xiao Bei the authority to manage the puppet group, it immediately began to operate.

In addition to granting her access, Su You also transmitted a batch of knowledge on how to maintain the growth of spiritual herbs within the Danling Secret Realm. After receiving this knowledge, Xiao Bei skillfully controlled the puppets, starting to weed, water, plant, and so on.

Su You examined these puppets and found that they were of good quality, mostly second- and third-tier puppets, with a very small number of fourth-tier puppets.

These puppets were not inscribed with any killing spells or supernatural powers, but were instead inscribed with several spells specifically for farming cultivators.

After mastering these spells, these puppets became adept at farming.

After seeing that the Danling Secret Realm had resumed normal operation, Su You excitedly went to check his treasure vault.

Although I have a general idea of ​​the wealth inside the Qionghua Cauldron, I still need to see for myself what exactly it contains and take some things that I might need.

First, we arrived at the iron wall of the Hall of Heritage.

There are ten enormous iron walls here, and inside these walls are compartments of varying sizes, storing treasures such as pills, elixirs, and spiritual fruits.

The first to eighth iron walls all store first- and second-tier pills.

The ninth iron wall stores third-, fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade pills.

The tenth iron wall stores a large number of spiritual herbs that have reached their age limit. These herbs cannot be refined by the Qionghua Cauldron itself, so they are temporarily stored away and will be handed over to a future owner for refinement.

In addition, there are the fruits harvested from those spiritual roots at regular intervals.

After passing the eight iron walls in front of him, the pills stored inside these walls had no effect on Su You himself.

He would take some of these pills and put them into the sect's treasury as rewards for his disciples to exchange for.

After all, these pills are 30% to 50% more potent than other pills of the same kind. It is the pill-containing array on the entire Iron Wall system that allows these pills to be stored for so many years, with their potency increasing rather than decreasing.

They quickly arrived at the ninth iron wall, which had countless grids, each with the name and function of a pill written on it.

Su You quickly found third-tier pills that could increase mana in the mid-to-late stages of the Golden Core realm, fourth-tier pills that could enhance the Nascent Soul's divine soul, and fourth-tier pills that could increase the Nascent Soul's mana, etc.

These pills were exactly what he needed, and they were extremely difficult to buy outside, but he could easily obtain them here.

Store these elixirs separately in special jade bottles.

That's why I stepped onto the tenth iron wall.

On this iron wall, most of the compartments are filled with spiritual herbs, while the generation of spiritual roots only occupies a small portion.

After all, spiritual roots, compared to spiritual herbs, are not one-time crops, but it still requires a long period to harvest them, and the harvest is very small.

Su You looked around and saw that there were quite a few kinds of spiritual roots and fruits here, including fruits of the five elements spiritual roots, fruits of Nascent Soul spiritual roots, tea leaves from the Enlightenment Tea Tree, spiritual fruits from the Divine Tree, and some spiritual roots that increase magical power, such as the Spirit Peach Tree.

Spirit peaches are the most abundant spiritual roots in the Danling Secret Realm, ranging in quality from second to fourth rank. The spiritual peaches produced by the spiritual peach tree contain a vast amount of pure spiritual energy, which can be directly consumed and refined. Their effects are better than those of pills, and they do not have the toxicity of pills.

Su You took a look and took ten catties of fourth-grade Enlightenment Tea, one catty of Enlightenment Tea, and a large amount of third-grade and fourth-grade spiritual fruits.

After taking what he needed, Su You began picking and choosing in front of the various iron walls, taking away a large number of pills to put into the sect's treasury, adding to the Dream Butterfly Sect's foundation.

Previously, most of the pills in the Dream Butterfly Sect's treasury were refined by disciples through assigned tasks. Su You, however, refined the Golden Core Pill and the Nascent Soul Pill, partly to save time and partly to increase the success rate.

However, there are almost no fourth-tier pills that increase mana in the treasure vault, and pills that increase mana in the Golden Core stage are also relatively rare, as they are exchanged as soon as they appear.
