"Yuxin, Changsheng will stay here to cultivate for the next period of time. If you are busy, you can go back first.”
"Father, daughter-in-law is not busy. Why don't you stay here and take care of Changsheng's daily life?”Chen Yuxin said expectantly.
Ye Wenxiao rolled his eyes and said,"I know you can't bear to part with your precious little brat, but it's best not to be distracted when it comes to cultivation. If you stay here, how can this kid calm down and cultivate?”
"Alright, in that case, daughter-in-law will take her leave first.”Chen Yuxin smiled bitterly. She had been through this before, so she naturally knew that it was best not to disturb anyone at the beginning of cultivation.
Therefore, he could only warn Ye Changsheng and leave in a hurry.
After Chen Yuxin left, Ye Wenxiao officially began to teach Ye Changsheng.
According to the first step of cultivation, it was to draw spiritual energy into the body and fuse it into the body to temper the body. From there, it would achieve the effect of cleansing the body and forcing out the impurities.
After Purification, it was time to sense Qi. The so-called sensing of Qi was to sense the spiritual energy in heaven and earth.
Only after sensing spiritual energy could one absorb it into the body and open up the meridians in the entire body.
Only after the meridians were connected could spiritual energy circulate throughout his body. The fourth step was to open the spirit.
What was Spirit Awakening? Since he had activated his spiritual sense, he could look inside.
Only after activating his spiritual sense could he gather the spiritual energy in his body into his dantian.
The dantian was not located in the abdomen of the human body. In the jargon of cultivators, the dantian did not exist inside or outside the human body. Only by activating one's spiritual sense could one sense its existence.
If one were to compare a person to a pill, the dantian would be the field that nurtured this pill. The more fertile the land, the stronger and purer the pills.
After completing the above five steps, one could officially enter the realm of Qi Refinement, commonly known as the first level of Qi Refinement.
Normally speaking, if a child wanted to cleanse their marrow, they would need to prepare a special medicinal soup to be consumed and soaked in. This cycle would be repeated a few times before they could cleanse their marrow and body.
However, since Ye Changsheng had two Marrow Cleansing Fruits, they were far superior to the herbal soup prepared by the clan.
Therefore, Ye Changsheng only needed to consume the Marrow Cleansing Fruit before he could directly enter the 'Qi Sensing' step.
Under Ye Wenxiao's watch, Ye Changsheng swallowed the two Marrow Cleansing Fruits.
Secretly, he left behind two fruit cores and sent them into the mysterious small space.
After consuming the Marrow Cleansing Fruit, Ye Changsheng could feel the energy flowing through his body. Then, the impurities in his body were slowly expelled. The impurities discharged were accompanied by a stench.
Seeing this, Ye Wenxiao rolled up a pool of water to help Ye Changsheng wash up.
After washing up, Ye Changsheng realized that his skin had changed. His skin became extremely fair, and even emitted a unique fragrance. He was immediately surprised.
Was this the legendary marrow cleansing?
"As expected of a top-grade heaven spirit root. Which ordinary cultivator wouldn't suffer from extreme pain when undergoing body cleansing? The impurities discharged were also extremely filthy, unlike you, who finished Purification in a nap.”Ye Wenxiao clicked his tongue and sighed.
"Grandpa, have I already entered the stage of sensing qi?”
"No, it should be said that you have already entered the Connective Meridian stage. This Marrow Cleansing Fruit was only a small toy in the family for fifty spirit stones, but outside, those rogue cultivators could not even buy one even if they spent a hundred spirit stones. Do you know why?" Ye Wenxiao asked complacently.
The few Marrow Cleansing Fruit Trees in the clan had been around for more than a hundred years. Usually, the descendants of the clan who wanted to use this item to cleanse their marrow had to have a talent of at least middle-high grade. Moreover, even if one's cultivation had reached the Qi Refinement stage or the Foundation Establishment stage, the effect of the Marrow Cleansing Fruit would still be effective.
Because the Marrow Cleansing Fruit's effect was to expel impurities and toxins, after a cultivator consumed the pill to cultivate, a certain amount of pill poison would accumulate in their body. Too much pill poison would be detrimental to future breakthroughs.
Unfortunately, the Marrow Cleansing Fruit Tree in the clan was only a Level One high-grade spirit tree. If it was cultivated to a Level Two spirit tree, the value of a Marrow Cleansing Fruit would probably be 500 low-grade spirit stones.
"My mother said that after consuming this Marrow Cleansing Fruit, one's body will be able to produce a wisp of spiritual energy. Could it be related to this?”
"Not bad! The wisp of spiritual energy that was derived from it could help you directly surpass the stage of 'sensing qi'. With the first wisp of spiritual energy in your body, you can directly sense the existence of spiritual energy.”
"Ordinary cultivators would need at least half a year or even longer to enter the Qi Sensing stage after Purification. To cultivators, every year was extremely precious. Therefore, any cultivation family that had a Marrow Cleansing Fruit Tree would use it for their own use and would never sell it.”
Ye Changsheng sighed in his heart. The cultivation world was indeed so cruel! In the end, it was nothing more than a monopoly.
Those rogue cultivators in the outside world did not have the support of their families, so they could not be self-sufficient in many resources. He could only work for others and work hard in exchange for those few cultivation resources.
Looking at it from another angle, how could the various cultivation families not be the leeks of the six great sects of the Heavenly South Region? These cultivation families themselves did not have the foundation to refine the foundation establishment pill, so they could only buy it from the six great sects.
However, the price of a foundation establishment pill would cost at least 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. How could an ordinary cultivation family afford this?
Usually, a cultivation family would need ten or even several decades of income to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill. Even so, the supply was still in short supply.
Ye Changsheng had noticed when he was reading the stories of the Heavenly South Region that the Foundation Establishment Pill required dozens of hundred-year-old spirit herbs as supplementary ingredients. The main ingredient required a Level Three Spirit Tree, the Five Elements Fruit Tree.
The Five Elements Fruit Tree had to be planted on a Grade Three spirit vein to grow. If he wanted to plant it in large numbers, only a Grade Four spirit vein could support it.
In other words, only sects with fourth-grade spirit meridians and aurous core stage cultivators could refine foundation establishment pills in large quantities.
The various large sects monopolized the foundation establishment pills and raised the price of the foundation establishment pills to sell for a large number of spirit stones.
The spirit stones were used to nurture more disciples, forming a cycle. Sectless cultivators and cultivation families were like leeks. They would be harvested every ten years, making people feel sad but helpless.
Compared to those low-level cultivation families, the Ye family's situation was still considered good.
Because the Ye family had once produced several Purple Prefecture Realm cultivators, a Five Elements Fruit Tree was planted on the Ye family's Rank-3 spirit vein.
But even so, because the Five Elements Fruit Tree could only bear a batch of fruits every 50 years, the Ye family could only refine a batch of Foundation Establishment Pills every 50 years.
Therefore, the Ye Clan still tried their best to buy the Foundation Building Elixir at the auction held by the six major sects once every ten years.
The Ye Clan had existed for eight hundred years and had more than ten thousand cultivators, but today, there was only one Zifu Disciple and thirty-one Foundation Establishment Cultivators. It was clear how difficult it was to reach the Foundation Establishment realm!
