My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

Lin Ye felt that his potential was quite high.

'Continue, twelfth floor... thirteenth floor... fourteenth floor, the lifespan consumption has increased.'

Reaching the fourteenth level of Qi Refining foundation cost Lin Ye more than a year of his lifespan.

This is largely because it is a major watershed, occurring every three layers.

As the foundation of his Dao continued to develop, Lin Ye gradually understood that small breakthroughs like the first and second levels would take about half a year, while the fourth and seventh levels would take more than a year!

Reaching the tenth level requires three years!

The tenth floor is essentially the top floor of a building, so it costs more.

Therefore, it takes exactly ten years of lifespan to advance the foundation of the Dao by ten levels, averaging one level per year.

It perfectly matches the progress of the Qi Refining stage.

Lin Ye plans to offer a lifespan of nine thousand years.

Even if he burns for nine thousand years, he will still have 1,500 years of lifespan left, which is equivalent to that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, enough for him!

Having decided on his strategy, Lin Ye sped off, determined to continue deducing the endless Qi Refining process.

Realizing that the medicine was far from enough, the young emperor busied himself constantly adding fresh doses.

......

Inside the cave, a wisp of white smoke rose from the incense burner and then dissipated into the air, leaving only a lingering fragrance.

Lin Ye sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and his body radiating light.

He took a deep breath, his body surging with energy, which dispersed the blue smoke in the room.

"It's done..."

"I spent nine thousand years of my lifespan to advance my Qi Refining stack to nine thousand levels!"

The further they went, the more difficult it became, but it hadn't yet become a burden for Lin Ye.

Especially with the help of her master... A fair-skinned girl peeked out from Lin Ye's loose clothes, her two big golden eyes shining brightly.

"Lin'er, haha..."

"Master, I've succeeded!"

Lin Ye happily picked up the little emperor by his armpits, spun him around a few times, and then put him on his shoulder.

The young emperor patted Lin Ye's head, a thought flashing through his mind, and said with satisfaction, "That's wonderful... Lin'er, I've never seen a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining before... I never even imagined it..."

Lin Ye laughed heartily: "Then you've met your master today!"

After carrying his master out the door, Lin Ye looked up at the sky and found that a white umbrella-like canopy was still hanging in the sky, which was obviously an unusual phenomenon that a normal Qi Refining cultivator could not cause.

But if it's the ninth thousand level of Qi Refining... quantitative change leads to qualitative change!

Although the phenomenon of the white cloud umbrella wasn't particularly beautiful, it was much larger in scale than the phenomenon produced by a Golden Core cultivator at the peak of Nascent Soul formation.

Upon receiving the news, many cultivators offered their congratulations through the image of the Wilderness Curse, including the Mahayana cultivators who had been eagerly awaiting the news.

The desolate curse released a phantom image, and the Mahayana cultivator of the Principle Sect, [Old Man Above the Clouds], excitedly asked, "Fellow Daoist, did it succeed? How many levels? Was it smooth?"

There's something the old man in the clouds won't mention...

He actually made some minor adjustments and improvements to the Endless Qi Refining Method!

He reduced the lifespan required for each level from twenty years to about fifteen years... He planned to keep this a secret until he ascended to immortality.

Lin Ye laughed and told him about his current situation, which stunned Yun Shangweng.

"Nine thousand floors! Do you have a lifespan of over ten years? How is that possible?!"

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow: "What makes you say that, fellow Daoist?"

Yun Shangweng sensed something was wrong. He thought to himself that either Lin Ye was bluffing, or he had only spent a small amount of his lifespan on each level. So how much was it?

He quickly asked, "Young friend, how many lifespans did it take to break through each level?"

Lin Ye smiled and said, "Everyone's situation is different. I spend one year on each floor."

"so..."

"Congratulations, young friend."

The old man in the clouds was in turmoil.

If Qi Refining cultivators are building bungalows, then these people are building space elevators. It's not that simple.

When it comes to familiarity with burning lifespan, cultivators in the Dark Ages had already reached the pinnacle of proficiency, and their method of changing one level every twenty years was already quite perfect.

Lin Ye changes a floor every year, and each one is much better than the original design. What kind of talent is that?

Yun Shangweng felt a pang of sorrow in his heart, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Fellow Daoist, do you intend to use the old Demon Emperor Mountain's capital as a secondary capital?"

Lin Ye squinted and waved his hand.

"With the blood mist in the air, I have no intention of expanding my territory, so don't even think about it."

A glint of light flashed in Yun Zhongweng's eyes. He offered his congratulations again and then took his leave.

After he left, he suddenly realized...that wasn't right either?

Even if we follow Lin Ye's advice and he changes one layer every year, he would still burn through nine thousand years of lifespan for nine thousand layers. How can he live so long?

What's wrong with the younger generation these days...?

Yunshang Weng suddenly fell into self-doubt.

......

Nine thousand layers of Qi Refining.

It's not the same as simply stacking the spiritual energy of nine hundred Qi Refining Level 10 cultivators; it's much stronger.

If there's only a slight, fixed improvement, it's completely useless for Mahayana cultivators; it's far too little.

Clearly, improving the quality of one's Dao foundation will proportionally increase a cultivator's strength.

However, not every level represents an exponential increase.

Lin Ye's physical sensation was somewhere in between; his already abundant blood, spiritual veins, and primordial spirit were now surging to their extreme.

Lin Ye felt as if his body was loaded with heavy weapons and being laboriously dragged by a small but powerful car.

Now, with the addition of 9000 drones, or miniature thrusters, the firepower has been increased, and it's also lighter!

Chapter 430 The Diviner's Sign

"Uncle, I have not failed you!"

A vast army of eerie green flame creatures entered the palace. Long Yin led his troops to the temporary post station and then went to the Lin residence to report to Lin Ye.

With her return, the relocation of residents from Yaohuang Mountain was basically completed.

Long Yin wore a light and thin dress that vaguely revealed her graceful figure. She wore silver anklets and walked barefoot on the bluestone floor of the official residence.

She clasped her hands together, her expression serious, but her mood was clearly much better than before she set off.

My niece was only of average ability as a ruler in history, but she was never idle. Doing small errands was entirely within her capabilities and could also help her relax.

However, in Lin Ye's opinion, Long Yin not only took a walk to relax, but also seemed to have gained some opportunities, and his aura experienced a small leap.

"Long Yin, your aura has become much stronger. Congratulations on your good fortune on this trip."

"You've been gone for a year. Your uncle misses you very much. Please come visit your uncle more often."

Lin Ye rubbed Long Yin's head, and she responded softly, scratching her cheek with her index finger, the jade bracelet on her wrist making a crisp clinking sound.

Lin Ye said to the fortune teller behind her, "My disciple is too."

"Uncle, it's all thanks to Sister Bu Suanzi."

Long Yin suddenly remembered something, clasped his hands in a fist and said loudly, earnestly requesting credit.

"If it weren't for her advice, this trip wouldn't have gone so smoothly. I owe eighty percent of my good fortune to her."

She said that when she came to a fork in the road, the fortune teller chose the correct path, and afterwards she heard that a blood mist had erupted on the other road.

On another occasion, when they passed through a market town, they didn't intend to stop, but Bu Suanzi said she wanted to take a look, so Long Yin went with her. As a result, they bought a rare treasure that purified the dragon vein, and Bu Suanzi also bought some small items for herself.

After saying that, Long Yin blinked at Lin Ye expectantly.

Oh?

Sending a lucky disciple to Long Yin's side—did it really change her luck?

Moreover, Bu Suanzi's Qi has improved even more! However, she had only recently become Lin Ye's disciple and had changed her cultivation method, so it was normal for her to make some leaps, but this progress was still somewhat beyond expectations.

The effect of her luck even exceeded expectations.

This is no longer just luck. According to Long Yin, the fortune teller was clearly consciously seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

Lin Ye was quite curious, and his gaze shifted to the girl not far behind Long Yin. Bu Suanzi was standing respectfully with his eyes lowered.

She humbly replied, "It was just good luck; I dare not take credit for it."

Long Yin laughed and said, "No need to be modest, my sister must have great fortune protecting her."

The expression on Bu Suanzi's face revealed nothing, but he possessed the humility of a cultivator from a humble background.

Lin Ye said, "Disciple is too modest. This is the first time Long Yin has ever asked for credit for someone in front of me."

How could she calculate celestial secrets before she had even formed her core? (2)

Lin Ye didn't quite understand—during the Great Calamity, even the scheming abilities of Mahayana cultivators would be greatly limited, which was also the most important harbinger of the Great Calamity's outbreak. 9.

To say it's similar to the treasure-hunting ability of the Geng Metal Rat wouldn't be quite right, since the Diviner not only finds treasure but also avoids misfortune.

However, he's still my apprentice. (Ling)

"I could have a piece of all this good fortune..." Ye thought, then said, "This journey has been arduous, so there's a reward. Long Yin, go find your sister Gongshu later, and we'll make you a custom-made crystal armor."

“This—Uncle! I cannot accept rewards without merit…” (iii)

Lin Ye raised his hand: "No need to be so modest, just accept it." (v)

Long Yin's luck will clearly affect her future. 6

If one's luck changes and the shortcomings in their fortune are addressed, their success may surpass historical levels.

Lin Ye was quite looking forward to it.

"Thank you, uncle."

Long Yin's eyes shone. She had never lacked cultivation supplies since she was a child, but the crystal armor was different; very few people in the world possessed it.

Such creations were extremely rare in the Dark Ages, but they had already become renowned. The only time they were used to demonstrate their power was when Princess Huang used the crystal armor to defeat Bai Yue on the arena.

Because the master craftsman repeatedly boasted about the crystal armor, its reputation spread far and wide...

However, the master craftsman still hasn't obtained the complete blueprints for the crystal armor. In fact, he wasn't wrong; the crystal armor is indeed the strongest, most expensive, and most difficult spiritual weapon to make within the same realm.

If even I am rewarded, what about my sister Bu Suanzi, who has contributed even more... Uncle!

Long Yin's eyes flickered, his hints carefully chosen to be subtle.

Lin Ye smiled slightly and said, "Bu Suanzi, you did a good job on this trip. I'll give you a few options."

"First, go to the treasury and choose any three kinds of spiritual materials and a scroll of Heavenly Rank Divine Power."

"Secondly, I see that you and Long Yin address each other as sisters and have a good relationship. Why not change your surname to Long and become relatives with her?"

"Or, go to Demon Emperor Mountain to finish up the relocation work. After you come back, you will be my third personal disciple."

Lin Ye said, "Choose."

Long Yin turned around and glanced back with some excitement.

Uncle is so generous!

Choose the third one!

The relocation of people from Yaohuang Mountain is nearing completion, with only a small number of refugees from outside the area left to escape the disaster. Taking charge of this task would be an easy achievement.

Moreover, his uncle has only had two direct disciples so far, and he is a future giant who already has such influence.

Lin Ye thought to himself, "I'll see how she chooses, and whether she can avoid misfortune and seek good fortune."

The Demon Emperor Mountain may now be under attack by Mahayana cultivators.
