The people of the Moyi sect came to form an alliance, and they were eight Dharma-like Taoist monarchs, so the Yuqing Sect naturally had to give them a grand reception. The two sides formally got to know each other in depth in the main hall of the Yuqing Sect, and then moved to the banquet. As for the alliance, although everything was ready, it was impossible to do business as soon as the guests arrived, and then send them away after the business was done.
Originally, Ye Zan planned to leave the Mo Yi Cult people to Mo Rusui to entertain them, so that he could go about his own business. However, during the period of contact between the two parties, he could clearly feel that the momentum of his Yuqing Sect was still weaker.
Thinking about it, after all, there is no Faxiang Taoist in the Yuqing Sect, so relying on Mo Rushi and a group of Yuanshen elders, no matter how strong the power is, it is still a bit weak. Only Ye Zan, even though he was also at the Yuanshen realm, with his status as a benefactor of the Moyi Cult, could truly make the Yuqing Sect not lose its momentum.
In addition, Ye Zan's own temperament is not like Mo Ru and others, who are too awe-inspiring for those with higher realms. From the very beginning, when he was in the Moyi Territory, when facing many elders of the Moyi Sect, he could always be said to be neither humble nor arrogant.
Therefore, in order for the Yuqing Sect to avoid becoming a weak party in the alliance, Ye Zan could only endure boredom and accompany the Moyi Sect people to have banquets and laughs.
In the "banquet hall", all kinds of delicacies, delicacies, spiritual fruits and spiritual wines are naturally indispensable, especially a large number of them are the "specialties" of the Yuqing Sect.
The "genetically modified" crops studied by Ye Zan are not only the well-known spiritual rice, but also many spiritual crops that are not suitable for large-scale planting. Those spiritual fruits and the like do not have the same magical effect as spiritual rice, but with Ye Zan's improvements, such as taste, aura, etc., they are far better than other ordinary crops.
Although the Moyi Sect alone controls a domain and has access to many foreign domains, these specialties of the Yuqing Sect are not sold to outsiders, so naturally this is the first time they have seen it. Therefore, several elders of the Moi religion were also quite curious about these "genetically modified" products that looked similar to certain things but were quite different in various aspects.
Of course, the dignified Dharma Prime Minister Daojun certainly doesn’t really care about food and drink. What's more, no matter how genetically modified these spiritual fruits are, they won't have earth-shattering effects, and they can't directly grow into elixirs. However, this can at least let them know that Yuqing Sect does have magical methods in cultivating these things.
"Fellow Taoist Wuji, this spiritual fruit looks quite similar to the legendary Heavenly Spirit Earth Center, but it is different from the legendary one. I wonder where it comes from?" Elder Yu held a slightly strange spiritual fruit. , asked Ye Zan for advice rather curiously.
In fact, Elder Yu would ask this out of curiosity, but more importantly, he was just looking for something to say. After all, it's not appropriate to talk about anything serious during the banquet, and there aren't that many serious things to talk about. But if nothing is said and all that is left is eating and drinking, then the banquet will be too boring, especially since there is no singing and dancing.
The spirit fruit that Elder Yu picked up looked like a garlic clove, but it was several times larger. It was like white jade but was dotted with countless silver stars.
Ye Zan nodded with a smile, picked up the spirit fruit in front of him, and said: "Taoist friends know that this object is indeed closely related to the legendary center of heaven and earth. In other words, it is originally The Tianling Earth Heart, but after my improvement, it is somewhat different from the Tianling Earth Heart."
When Elder Yu heard this, he threw the spiritual fruit in his hand into his mouth. With just a slight click of his upper and lower teeth, a stream of sweet and fragrant juice splashed into his mouth and into his throat. Originally, he only had the idea of tasting ordinary spiritual fruits. Even though he specifically asked Ye Zan about it, he didn't really value it too much.
However, after the spiritual juice juice entered his throat, Elder Yu's body trembled slightly for an instant, and he couldn't help but close his eyes, pretending to enjoy it carefully. He could clearly feel that after the spiritual juice water fell into his stomach, it turned into a ball of gas-like power and spread to his limbs and bones.
Elder Yu could clearly feel that wherever the force passed through, every cell in his body seemed to have been washed. Although the effect brought by this was not very amazing, the feeling of comfort from the inside out made him feel quite enjoying it.
"Well, this fruit is very good. It can actually cleanse the physical body. It is probably more than a hundred times stronger than the legendary Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Core." After enjoying it, Elder Yu opened his eyes and looked at Ye Zan, admiring in an unfailing tone. road.
In fact, for Dharma Masters like Elder Yu and others, ordinary spiritual fruits are basically difficult to be of substantial help. Regardless of whether you refine the soul, cleanse the body, or have other functions, it can only be useful to low-level ascetics. As for Faxiang Taojun, he is already close to the peak that the world can reach in all aspects. Only more powerful elixirs can help.
The reason why Elder Yu expressed his admiration was of course because of the effectiveness of this spiritual fruit, but more importantly because he thought of the value of this spiritual fruit in alchemy. After all, the alchemy method he is familiar with has very high requirements for the quality of herbal medicines. The better the herbal medicines, the better the quality of the elixirs can be refined.
If it were replaced by Ye Zan's refining method, which would directly extract the active ingredients anyway, the spirit fruit would not be as powerful as people thought. If the active ingredients of one spirit fruit are not enough, then just extract them from ten hundred spirit fruits. You will always be able to extract enough for elixir refining.
"The Tianling Earth Center has many effects, but each effect is not strong. Therefore, I used it as a basis and made some adjustments to the many effects. Let's say that the current Silver Star Tianling Earth Center specializes in It has the effect of washing the physical body, and the black jade Tianling Earth Heart is specialized in the effect of tempering the soul. Of course, these are only things used to satisfy the appetite, even if the effect is enhanced in some aspects. For cultivators like us who are above the soul, the efficacy is not very obvious." Ye Zan spoke frankly about the characteristics of this spiritual fruit, especially its value in terms of efficacy.
In fact, when Ye Zan cultivates these genetically modified spiritual fruits, the main transformation direction is still in the taste. After all, no matter how you say it, this spiritual fruit is still a fruit, and it is still something for people to taste, so it is just to satisfy the appetite. If you really want to borrow external help to help your own realm, it would be easier to take pills.
However, satisfying the appetite in this world is different from the technological world. In the world of technology, what determines whether a fruit is delicious or not is nothing more than sweetness and fruity aroma, as well as the texture of the pulp. But in this world, especially when it comes to spiritual fruits, simply increasing the sweetness and fruity aroma is obviously not enough.
Why, at this banquet, did the heavenly spirit and earthly heart come up to cleanse the physical body? It is because, while washing the physical body, it will make the human body feel extremely comfortable. To put it bluntly, washing the physical body is secondary, that feeling is the purpose of Ye Zan's cultivation. In addition to this, for example, Ye Zan mentioned the black jade Tianling Earth Center, which gives people a sense of comfort from the level of the soul.
In the final analysis, Ye Zan's purpose of strengthening the effectiveness of these aspects is mainly to enhance the experience brought by the spirit fruit to people, rather than really wanting people to soar in a day after eating one.
"That's it!" Elder Yu and other elders of the Moyi Sect, after hearing Ye Zan's answer, nodded with understanding.
Of course, Ye Zan sees that the value of this spiritual fruit is different from that of the monks in this world. Although Elder Yu and others know that this thing is of little use to them and others, it does not mean that they will ignore the value of this aspect. After all, Moyi Sect not only has Faxiang Daojun, but also has disciples such as Yuanshen, Yuanying, Jindan, and Zhuji.
Through their own experience, Elder Yu and the others are able to make some relatively accurate judgments on the effectiveness of this spiritual fruit. They clearly know that these spiritual fruits have little effect on themselves, but when placed on those low-level cultivators, they can definitely be called extraordinary effects.
And, more importantly, they also learned from Ye Zan that this spiritual fruit was not born like this, but was cultivated using special techniques. Not only can he create spiritual rice that can replace auxiliary elixirs, but he can also cultivate these extraordinary spiritual fruits. Not everyone can have Ye Zan's ability.
Don't think that such skills are of little value. After all, there are still only a few cultivators in the world who can reach the realm of Elder Yu and others. There are twenty-seven dharma elders in the Moyi religion, but the entire Moyi realm is composed of these twenty-seven, and the more are the ascetics below. The same is true in other realms. The real majority are still those cultivators below the Yuan Shen level, which can also be said to be the main consumers.
Therefore, Ye Zan's ability to cultivate spiritual fruits still has great potential in this world.
"Fellow Taoist Wuji, we have seen from a distance before that there is a floating island in the northwest of Tongtian Peak. Could it be the war fortress obtained from evil spirits from outside the world that fellow Taoist mentioned to us?" After picking up several strange spiritual fruits, Elder Yu asked Ye Zan again.
You know, the war fortress can be regarded as a city in the sky, and its size is naturally very huge. Therefore, even if everyone has not been close, they can still see the huge black shadow in the sky from a distance.
At the beginning, in order to convince Elder Yu and others to let him help them explore the land of nothingness, Ye Zan mentioned that he owned a war fortress. Elder Yu and others were naturally very curious about the evil things outside the sky. Now that they finally came to Yuqing Sect and saw the huge black shadow, they couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, that is the war fortress I told you about." Since Ye Zan told them before, naturally there is nothing to keep secret in this regard, and then said: "Speaking of which, the evil spirits outside that day did have their own Something that should not be underestimated, let’s talk about this war fortress…”
Since it was a casual chat, of course Ye Zan didn't just answer questions. Through the inquiries of Elder Yu and others, he talked about the battle with the evil demon outside the world. From the mysterious power of the Tianyu Daozu at the beginning, to later himself and others fighting into the underworld, to the sudden arrival of evil spirits from outside the world, his own side arrived with strong reinforcements to start the war, which was quite lively.
Although he is a monk, at this banquet, he is actually not much different from ordinary people. He drinks and brags the same way.
This was the first time for Elder Yu and others to hear such a detailed description from Ye Zan, and they all looked very fascinated. However, they would not regard Ye Zan's words as just bragging, but use them to learn about the evil spirits outside the world. You know, some of them are preparing to go to the outer world, and they will definitely face the evil spirits from the outer world.
"Those extraterrestrial evil spirits actually have such methods. If Taoist Fellow Wuji hadn't told them, I would have suffered a lot when I met them in the future." While Elder Yu and others were eye-opening, they felt in their hearts. They were also very happy and expressed their gratitude to Ye Zan one after another.
Ye Zan waved his hand, picked up the wine glass to moisten his throat, and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoists, you don't have to be like this. Since we are going to form an alliance, we naturally have to share some things. What's more, the evil demon outside that day is... It is the common enemy of everyone in this world, even good and evil can work together to fight against the enemy, so what do I say? "
"I can tell that fellow Taoist played a crucial role in this matter. If fellow Taoist hadn't been through life and death all the way, I'm afraid the conspiracy of the evil spirits from outside the world would have succeeded." Elder Yu and others complimented Ye Zan road.
Although Ye Zan has already mentioned the role of Xianting in this matter, Xianting does not need Elder Yu and others to praise it. Moreover, from the actual situation, Ye Zan did play an important role in this matter, at least delaying the steps of the evil demon outside the world.
"It's not a big deal if you succeed, after all, the Immortal Court is watching!" Ye Zan responded humbly, but then said helplessly: "Actually, if you can practice with peace of mind, who is willing to go through these things. I If I had known that this matter was backed by Immortal Court, I would have been so foolish as to make such a splash."
"Alas, we cultivators say we want to be free and at ease, but in reality, there is no freedom at all along the way. Even the immortals in the Immortal Courtyard have to fight with the evil spirits outside the world for countless years. It is rare to find true freedom in confrontation, let alone us mortals," Elder Yu said with emotion.
Ye Zan smiled, but he was not as emotional as Elder Yu and the others. He picked up his wine glass and said to everyone: "Although this freedom is the goal pursued by cultivators like us, there is no real freedom in the world. This journey. Now, from the foundation to the golden elixir, you will be more free than when you were the foundation. When you go from the golden elixir to the Nascent Soul, you will be less restricted than the golden elixir. I wish you in advance. These elders will go to the outer world in the future and find opportunities for breakthrough as soon as possible. "
