“Successfully marrying into the Yuan Family, family power value increases by 20 points.”
Cultivation breakthrough! Family power value increases. It’s a double celebration.
According to the system’s calculations, it won’t take long to complete the second stage of family power.
Recently, the Ye Family’s expenditures have been significant, exceeding the family’s income.
Ye Fan has less than fifty spirit stones in his possession.
Next, it’s time to start earning money in earnest.
The process of manufacturing elixirs can yield an income of around two hundred spirit stones per month.
The income from the spirit stone veins is roughly one hundred stones per month.
The Ye family members spend over two hundred spirit stones per month on cultivation. The income and expenditure are just barely balanced.
The need for a new source of income is imminent.
As for how to increase income, Ye Fan already has a rough idea.
Spiritual fields!
Yes, Ye Fan plans to open spiritual fields and start growing medicinal herbs himself.
Lingzhi mushrooms, Fo-ti, Ginseng, and other herbs are consumed heavily on a regular basis.
Even if Ye Fan does not use all the herbs for making pills, they can still be sold.
Ye Fan went to the back mountain of the Ye Family and designated several plots for fields.
He then ground the spirit stones down into spirit stone powder and spread it over the fields.
He will also need to set up formations in the fields to absorb spiritual energy and nourish the medicinal herbs.
Ye Fan calculated that the cost of a mu of spiritual field is about fifty spirit
stones.
And a mu of spiritual field can grow about a hundred spiritual medicinal plants.
For the spiritual fields Ye Fan can set up, they are only beginner-level and do not provide a large enhancement to the medicinal plants, although they can reduce the growth cycle of ordinary medicinal herbs by about half.
Spiritual medicinal plants, as the name suggests, can absorb spiritual energy.
As long as the concentration of spiritual energy is high enough, ordinary spiritual medicine can mature in large quantities in a short time.
However, the speeding ability that comes with Ye Fan’s green snake bloodline is not cost-effective when applied to ordinary medicinal plants.
Only those precious spiritual medicines such as the Blood Spirit Ginseng, which gives several hundred spirit stones in a decade, are worthy of being accelerated by Ye Fan.
With the spiritual fields reducing the growth cycle and the abilities of the spiritual plant master, a batch of ten-year-old spiritual medicines can be grown in two years.
A batch of spiritual medicines can bring in an income of almost five hundred spirit stones.
At this point, Ye Fan realized how much profit there was in planting spiritual medicine.
This money cannot be made by others anymore.
In the blink of an eye, two years have passed. Ye Fan is now fifty-five years old.
During these two years, the changes in the Ye Family haven’t been huge.
The improvement of aptitude has significantly increased the cultivation speed of the members of the Ye family.
Especially in the cultivation of wood attribute techniques, it is incredibly fast.
Ye Jinhai, Ye Jintian, Ye Xiaoxiao, and the first batch who began cultivating have already broken through the third layer of Qi Cultivation.
And his other wives have also broken through to the second layer of Qi Cultivation, and were only a step away from the third layer.
Ye Fan’s cultivation level remains at the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation, not far from the seventh layer now.
The most anticipated thing is that the first batch of the Ye Family’s spiritual fields is now ready for harvesting.
Two years ago, Ye Fan established his first mu of spiritual fields in the back mountain.
Over these two years, Ye Fan has cut back on expenses, continuously increasing the number of spiritual fields. Now, there are a total of ten mu of spiritual fields.
Just these spiritual fields alone can bring more than two thousand spirit stones to the Ye family every year.
The number of spirit fields is only ten mu, not because Ye Fan doesn’t want to increase the number of fields, but the spiritual energy concentration in the East Mountain where the Ye family resides is too low that it can only sustain ten mu of spiritual fields.
If there are any more, the efficiency of the spiritual fields would drop, making the loss outweigh the gain.
Nine mu of spiritual fields are used by Ye Fan to plant ordinary spiritual medicine, such as ginseng which is a common ingredient in pill refining.
In the remaining mu of field, three blood-red ginseng plants are particularly eye-catching.
Ye Fan paid a heavy price to obtain these three juvenile blood ginseng plants, costing a total of fifty spirit stones.
Now, these three blood ginsengs are about to mature.
Ye Fan, with his first-order Alchemy Dao skills, has mastered many special elixir formulas.
For example, the Blood Ginseng Elixir, a first-order high-grade elixir, which is equivalent to three years of a cultivator’s cultivation.
For cultivators in the early stages of Qi cultivation, one Blood Ginseng Elixir can make up for three years of cultivation.
Even in the middle and later stages of Qi cultivation, it has a considerable effect.
For the people of the Ye Family, it is a very useful treasure.
Once again, a wave of Ye Fan’s bloodline power is infused into the blood ginseng, and a golden pattern forms on the three blood ginsengs.
Blood ginseng, for every additional ten years, will present a round of golden patterns.
The three Blood God ginsengs in front of Ye Fan have finally all reached ten years.
“The later stage of Qi cultivation is just around the corner.”
In the later stages of Qi cultivation, not only can someone control superior magic artifacts and cultivate more powerful spells, their combat power also soars.
Most importantly, during the later stages of Qi cultivation, one can control a magic artifact to fly.
This ability is something Ye Fan longs to experience.
Who doesn’t have a dream to fly?
Not being able to fly until the age of fifty-five is truly shameful. It’s a disgrace to system holders.”
All other medicinal components of the Blood Ginseng Elixir have been collected by Ye Fan in advance.
Next, he can directly begin the elixir synthesis.
“No one should disturb me within a month.”
After saying this to Ye Jintian, who is currently managing the affairs of the Ye Family, Ye Fan directly proceeded to the recently established Alchemy Chamber.
The process of concocting the Blood Ginseng Elixir is challenging, requiring Ye Fan to be completely immersed and concentrated.
Each spiritual medicine must be processed into a medicinal liquid by different methods.
These medicinal liquids need to blend perfectly to fuse into a complete elixir.
Only after half a month did the door of the Alchemist’s room slowly open.
Even at Ye Fan’s current cultivation level, he appeared utterly exhausted and pallid.
After continuously performing alchemy for half a month, Ye Fan was physically and mentally exhausted.
“Damn it, I can’t perform alchemy like this in the future, it’s killing me!”
Ye Fan almost burst into tears. Even with mental preparation for the difficulty, he almost failed.
Only because of his perfect first-order Alchemy Dao skills, did he avoid failing. Otherwise, considering Ye Fan’s mid-grade Pill Furnace and ordinary Spiritual Fire that lacks any special cultivation techniques, he’d have failed long ago.
With a flip of his hand, three jade bottles, fifteen Blood Ginseng Elixirs.
If sold, each would fetch at least three hundred Spirit Stones.
After taking a bath, Ye Fan called everyone over.
“During my recent retreat for alchemy, I’ve made some gains, so there’s one for each of you.”
It’s not that Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Invincible Opening Elixir like last time, right?
Despite Ye Jintian thinking it was just a sugar pill, its effects were undeniably excellent.
When the Blood Ginseng Elixir was handed over, they could tell from its aroma and appearance that it wasn’t anything extraordinary, just ordinary.
The real divine elixirs must be like the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Invincible Opening Elixir – simple and unadorned.
“Uncle, how many Spirit Stones would this pill fetch?” Ye Jinfeng, a little money-grubber, stared at the Blood Ginseng Elixir with gleaming eyes.
“About three to four hundred Spirit Stones each, but don’t you dare consider selling it; eat it dutifully in front of me!” Ye Fan said irritably while looking at Ye Jinfeng’s appearance.
“I don’t plan on selling it! I want to advance in cultivation level and then learn alchemy. That’s the real path to earning big money.”
Ye Jinfeng is very rational. Higher cultivation level, being capable of performing alchemy independently is the real path to making big money.
Being a money-grubber, Ye Jinfeng is very clear about this idea.
For the sake of money, she has been studying alchemy for many years.
She’s just a step away from becoming a real alchemist.
Presumably, as soon as her cultivation level reaches the fourth stage of Qi Cultivation, she would be able to concoct elixirs.
With Ye Fan’s protection, everyone didn’t hesitate and swallowed the Blood God Elixir in their hands at once..
