My Informative Cultivation Life

"So rich, so pure in Dao Qi, this is actually a medium-grade Dao Stone Vein! Such a big one, oh my, we're in for a fortune." Everyone's eyes went wide.

"This is a hub where the Formation transmutes energy, so there's a Dao Stone Vein here. Finders keepers, I'll collect it first and then distribute it to you all later!" Yang Ji swept his gaze around and realized that this was a Formation node. There was no telling how many such Formation nodes there were, or how many Dao Stone Veins were contained within.

Just acquiring a few Dao Stone Veins during this venture into the White Cloud Palace was already a worthwhile trip.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes shone with joy, and they nodded immediately.

A Dao Stone Vein is not comparable to a Spirit Stone Vein; it's unknown how many years it takes to nurture one. Even Mahayana cultivators would be tempted by a medium-grade Dao Stone Vein.

"What kind of place is this? It's incredible to use a supreme-grade Spirit Stone Vein as the energy to drive a Formation. To think, a Dao Stone Vein provides the energy here. It's unbelievable. You must know that the Dao Qi contained in Dao Stones is essential for Mahayana cultivators to break through their realms.

To use it as energy for the operations of a Formation..." Ye Qiuyu said, slightly stunned.

The cultivation above the Divinity Transformation Realm requires the absorption of Dao Qi, and most cultivators can only slowly refine it from Spiritual Energy, accumulating it gradually.

Only major sects possess some Dao Stone Veins, which allows direct absorption of Dao Qi from the Dao Stones.

Furthermore, there are some low-grade Dao Pills specifically for cultivation that contain pure Dao Qi. However, the Spiritual Ingredients necessary for refining Dao Pills are hard to find, and their cultivation requires a thousand years or more, making Dao Pills scarce and nearly unseen in the outside world.

Only super sects like Wuji Dao Sect, with Immortal Artifacts capable of altering the flow of time, could cultivate batches of Spiritual Ingredients for refining Dao Pills.

But it's not an easy task. The Spiritual Ingredients for refining Dao Pills are almost unique. After harvesting, a single seed must be left to grow again and be harvested once more.

Typically, a Dao Sect's Immortal Artifact can only change the flow of time by a factor of one. Although the Dao Sect can harvest once every five hundred years, the scarcity of the Spiritual Ingredient seeds means that the Dao Pills produced are few.

In five hundred years, just supplying the sect's high-level cultivators with their cultivation needs isn't enough, and it's unlikely that any will spread to the outside world.

Luckily, super sects like these can establish worlds similar to the Minor Heavenly Realm, where they can draw down Immortal Qi from the Heavenly Realm with Immortal Artifacts. Even without Dao Pills or Dao Stones, their cultivation speed is much faster than the disciples of ordinary sects.

That's the foundation of a Dao Sect, incomparable to those of minor schools and lesser families. Only later in one's cultivation does one realize the benefits of having the support of a powerful sect.

"This White Cloud Palace is indeed extraordinary; it might even be a relic left behind by some lost civilization," Li Yinxue speculated.

As everyone spoke, Yang Ji didn't stop his actions, unleashing the World Force to collect the Dao Stone Vein.

"You dare to collect the Dao Stone Vein, you're courting death!" Just as he was collecting the vein, a thunderous roar exploded beside him, and with a swish, a young man arrived rapidly behind him. He cast a look at Yang Ji's back, flicked his wrist, and launched a Sword Light straight at his head.

"Courting death!" Zhan Xiao and other Golden List Geniuses were tremendously powerful, and they perceived the danger instantly. A surge of fighting spirit burst forth, turning into a set of Battle Armor that shielded Yang Ji from the blow.

At the same time, Zhong Jun's face turned cold, and he punched out. The powerful punch sent the newcomer flying.

"Who are you to dare take the Dao Stone Vein I saw, and to injure me, as well? You're doomed! Do you have any idea who I am? I'm from the Hunyuan Family of the Chaotic Great World, descendant of the Immortal King of the Heavenly Realm, the head of my family!" The man, sent flying by a punch, was furious and issued a fierce warning.

"Oh? The Hunyuan Clan! Rumor has it that this family is incredibly powerful, on par with Ancient Gods. Wonder if that's true," Yang Ji said calmly, completing the collection of the Dao Stone Vein and turning around to face the young man, who was human-like but had strange patterns on his right cheek.

"Hand over the Dao Stone Vein obediently! You won't incur the wrath of my Immortal King ancestor!" The young man flicked his right hand, casting a Sword Light that tied up all the others. His arrogant behavior was indeed rare to see.

"A direct descendant of the Immortal King?" Li Yinxue frowned slightly. Find adventures on empire

"Even the Immortal King doesn't behave as arrogantly as you. A mere offspring of the Immortal King lineage, I have no idea how many eras your ancestors are from. Being a bully as usual in the Hunyuan World where no one dares to provoke you. But here, you still dare to act so arrogantly; you're really courting death.

Kill him!" Yang Ji pressed a single hand toward the void, and the Sword Light that had bound them instantly dissipated.

"You want to kill me, you're the one courting death!" the young man retorted fiercely, "I've already secretly notified my family to come here. You're all dead!"

"Heh! It's precisely because you've notified your family that you must die!" Xuan Chi replied domineeringly, a chilly smile on his face. "You probably haven't even seen the face of the Immortal King, and yet you have the audacity to swagger around using his name. I'm not as arrogant as you are!"

"Let me show you what the true will of the Immortal King is like!"

The moment the Fire Ancestor Technique was activated, a silhouette of the Fire Ancestor appeared behind Xuan Chi, stepping forward from a sea of raging flames. The young man locked eyes with the silhouette of the Fire Ancestor and was instantly filled with fear, frozen in place.

With a single pressing move from the silhouette of the Fire Ancestor, ferocious flames swirled and instantly incinerated the young man to ash, leaving no trace behind.
