Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Perfecting the Plan, Heading to the Immortal City
After the discussion.
Su Ye’s plan received Luo Qing’e’s approval.
She was confident she could use it to persuade Luo Xiyin and push for a strategic adjustnt within the Luo Family.
However, given the Luo Family’s efficiency, it would take at least a month or more.
"Too slow!"
’In the end, my status is still too low...’ Su Ye sighed softly, lost in thought.
’If I could completely control the Luo Family and reform it, I could at least double their efficiency...’
A dark gleam flickered in Su Ye’s eyes.
That’s right—he wanted to control the Luo Family!
He didn’t think there was anything wrong with that.
’The Luo Family is plagued by deep-seated problems and chronic ailnts. If they continue to drift along aimlessly, they’ll only sink further...’
’It needs a more outstanding leader!’
’And the Luo Family’s growth can provide more support for my own cultivation!’
This was a win-win!
...
However, Su Ye was also well aware.
’In the Cultivation Realm, one’s stage is paramount!’
’If I want to control the Luo Family, I must advance to the Foundation Establishnt Stage. Otherwise, it’s just a pipe dream!’
Foundation Establishnt!
The first great hurdle on the path of immortality, forging a Dao Foundation!
Facing Foundation Establishnt, Su Ye began to plan seriously, calculating his assets.
’As soone with a low-grade Spiritual Root, the many minor bottlenecks of the Qi Refining Stage and the accumulation of Magical Power should have been my biggest challenges...’
’But with the Golden Sword Orchid’s [Harmony] and the poison removal from my profession’s upgrades...’
’At most, I can cultivate steadily to Qi Refining Perfection within seven or eight years.’
For ordinary cultivators, after reaching Qi Refining Perfection, if they wished to attempt Foundation Establishnt,
they would typically try to acquire a Foundation Establishnt Elixir or a Foundation Establishnt Spiritual Object.
As for attempting to break through on one’s own, it was either success or death, with a success rate of less than one in ten...
Only those cultivators who were extrely confident in themselves, or those with no other options, would choose this path!
’Tsk, tsk... this Foundation Establishnt process is far too dependent on external items, isn’t it...’ Su Ye grumbled to himself.
But in his heart, he understood.
’Compared to the Ancient Era, since the invention of the Foundation Establishnt Elixir, haven’t the number of Foundation Establishnt cultivators in this age increased by a thousandfold, if not more?’
’Cultivators today might seem dependent on external items, but it’s actually because the path of immortality has flourished and beco too widespread!’
With the popularization of the immortal path and the advent of the Foundation Establishnt Elixir and other such Spiritual Objects,
cultivators with mid-to-low-grade Spiritual Roots—those who would have been classified as having false Spiritual Roots in the Ancient Era and been dood to a lifeti as nial disciples—finally had a chance at Foundation Establishnt!
’However...’
’Perhaps I don’t need a Foundation Establishnt Elixir?’ Su Ye muttered to himself.
With his panel and the power of [Harmony],
Su Ye only needed a Tier-2 spirit ship to easily overco the bottleneck after reaching Qi Refining Perfection!
...
As for obtaining a Tier-2 spirit ship, Su Ye already had a well-thought-out plan.
’The anomaly in the Dongning Sea Region has given rise to many rare beasts.’
’These beasts are enough to attract a large number of Loose Cultivators who co to hunt them...’
’The Luo Family can pivot and use their geographical advantage to provide logistical support for them, earning a massive amount of Spirit Stones in the process...’
’If everything goes smoothly, we can use that money to build a Tier-2 spirit ship, and I can use it to break through to Foundation Establishnt!’
According to Luo Qing’e, the Luo Family had the blueprints and Array schematics for a Tier-2 spirit ship.
The Luo Family even had a massive, fifty-zhang-long piece of spirit wood, treasured for over a hundred years, that had been fully refined and air-dried, ready to serve as a keel!
That was sothing money couldn’t necessarily buy!
With these preliminary resources, an investnt of another forty to fifty thousand Spirit Stones, and a few years of work, they could build a Tier-2 spirit ship!
Of course...
Su Ye estimated that it would hardly be that smooth.
After all, the Qi Family and the Luo Family were currently in a state of quasi-war!
There was no way they would just stand by and watch the Luo Family build a Tier-2 spirit ship capable of contending with the Soul Gold!
’But... I also have a backup plan...’ A glint flashed in Su Ye’s eyes!
A Tier-2 spirit ship was too conspicuous and would easily provoke the Qi Family into starting a war early to destroy it at all costs.
A peak-grade Tier-1 spirit ship, on the other hand, would be far less noticeable!
Furthermore, compared to a Tier-2 ship, the construction cost of a peak-grade ship was much lower!
’The Qi Family would never imagine that I can upgrade a spirit ship!’
As long as one had Spirit Stones, ordinary materials weren’t a problem.
And special materials could be substituted with [Sea Successor Remains]!
Once the anomaly in the Dongning Sea Region attracted enough Loose Cultivators,
they would sooner or later encounter boss-level creatures within the sea that had fused with Sea Successor Remains!
At that point, with just a little guidance...
Su Ye could gain a considerable amount of help!
’Human wave tactics!’
Strength in numbers!
You can always trust in numbers!
By relying on human wave tactics, and with his own greatly increased strength a few years from now, he could slay a boss-level creature!
Su Ye believed this plan had a very high chance of success!
...
’Once the Sea Successor Remains and the peak-grade spirit ship are ready, the Tier-2 spirit ship will be mine!’
’At that point, it wouldn’t be impossible to put on an act of achieving Foundation Establishnt on my own...’ Su Ye chuckled.
That’s right!
’Panels, cheats, experience points, popping pills, Harmony...’
’Such baseless slander, sullying my good na!’
’I, Su Ye, have gone through life-and-death battles, stimulated my potential, and broken through the bottlenecks of the Mid-stage and late-stage Qi Refining!’
’After reaching Qi Refining Perfection, I put myself in a do-or-die situation and resolutely broke through on my own without taking a Foundation Establishnt Elixir!’
’I am a one-in-ten-thousand prodigy cultivator who has sought life from the jaws of death!’
’I believe that countless ages from now, legends will circulate throughout this realm about the peerless talent of Mr. Su, who broke through every stage on his own, from Foundation Establishnt to Ascension...’
’Inspiring countless future cultivators to forgo advancent pills, attempt to break through on their own, and then promptly die on the spot...’
’This feels even more misleading than Gou Liuyi shattering the void... Am I too wicked?’
Su Ye stroked his chin and couldn’t help but laugh.
...
After indulging in his fantasy for a mont, Su Ye took a deep breath to calm his mind.
’However... the plan is wonderful, but with Loose Cultivators gathering, I also need to make preparations in advance.’
Loose Cultivators were not harmless folk.
In terms of ruthlessness, Loose Cultivators were only slightly better than the likes of ’players’.
’To intimidate the Loose Cultivators and deal with the Qi Family, I must increase my strength...’
’Especially my own martial prowess and the Golden Sword Orchid—they must be strengthened further.’
’This trip to Weiyuan Immortal City isn’t just for spreading news, but also for buying spirit ship components to upgrade the Golden Sword Orchid...’
’I can also buy so good things that are beneficial to my own cultivation.’
Su Ye mused.
In fact, besides selling components, Weiyuan Immortal City even took on spirit ship construction jobs.
However, Su Ye had no intention of commissioning the Immortal City.
Firstly, the markup was too high; it was easy to get ripped off.
Secondly, Tier-2 spirit ships were controlled items. Their sale was restricted and ca with extrely harsh additional conditions.
Finally... Su Ye had high hopes for this peak-grade spirit ship. He planned to use it to advance to Tier 2 and had his own specific requirents.
Therefore, he planned to build it himself.
...
「A month or so later.」
「The port.」
The Golden Sword Orchid’s repairs were complete, ready to set sail for [Weiyuan Immortal City].
"My dear... ready to depart~" Luo Qing’e said with a smile.
Luo Qing’e accompanying him was within Su Ye’s expectations.
His plan required Luo Qing’e to mobilize the Luo Family’s personnel in the Immortal City for their full cooperation.
But what surprised Su Ye was...
a tall female cultivator with silver hair and a snow-white robe, exuding a cold and lancholic air, had also appeared at the port!
"[Weiyuan Immortal City]’s grand auction, held once a decade, will be taking place soon."
"I wish to purchase a Tier-2 high-grade talisman brush."
Luo Xiyin was very direct.
