Chapter 396: What to Do with Excess Resources?

Upon hearing their siblings’ inquiries, Ye family’s fourth elder did not hide the truth.

“These are sent by Mother. It seems that the Pure Yang Immortal Palace has submitted to her.”

Hearing this, the others in the Ye family nodded.

This statement made sense; they all knew how powerful their mother was.

Regarding the dozens of large warehouses filled with cultivation resources, everyone did not show any excited expressions, as Ye Jian had already given each of them a substantial amount of resources before leaving.

“When will Mother return? Did she say?”

“I don’t know. She just had someone deliver these resources.”

“I see.”

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately lost interest.

“How should we handle these cultivation resources?” Ye family’s fourth elder asked everyone.

“Let’s give them to the younger generation; I don’t need them anyway.”

“I don’t need them either.”

“I suggest we give them to those with good cultivation talent among the younger generation.”

“Alright then, I’ll take these resources and give them to those talented younger folks,” Ye family’s fourth elder nodded.

Now, almost everyone in the Abandoned Prison possessed the Ye family bloodline, so as long as someone had good cultivation talent, it should be fine to give these resources away.

“But we can’t just give them away directly; let’s have them complete some tasks for the Immortal Domain to earn them. As long as it doesn’t interfere with their cultivation, this way, they will understand how difficult it is to obtain resources and will develop a sense of belonging to the Immortal Domain,” the eldest sister of the Ye family said to Ye family’s fourth elder.

“I understand, sister.” Ye family’s fourth elder nodded in agreement.

Human nature is like this—if you want something and others fulfill your requests unconditionally, over time, you will not appreciate them and may even feel entitled to it.

Just like how parents fulfill every request of their child unconditionally, the child is highly likely to rebel and become extremely selfish when they grow up.

On the other hand, when parents instill in their children the understanding of their hard work and show their love, the child grows up with a higher chance of not rebelling and becoming a filial child.

…

Ye family’s fourth elder made a good decision, but fate had other plans.

Just after he accepted the first batch of cultivation resources, less than six months later, the second batch was delivered by the Pure Yang Immortal Palace. This time, even more resources were sent.

If that wasn’t enough, every six months, large quantities of cultivation resources would continue to arrive at the Abandoned Prison Star.

Moreover, the people from the Pure Yang Immortal Palace stated that this would happen continuously every six months.

With so many cultivation resources, Ye Jian’s children discovered that according to their resource distribution rules, if resources kept arriving, they would never use up all of them.

After all, more than half of the first batch was still left.

Years later, Ye Jian’s daughters realized that there was no more room to store the cultivation resources sent by the Pure Yang Immortal Palace, as they had simply amassed too much.

In response to this situation, Ye Jian’s children held discussions again and decided to use these resources to develop the Abandoned Prison Star, such as building a teleportation array network covering every town.

They would establish a communication network for every area, allowing everyone to communicate with each other without stepping out of their homes.

Additionally, they would open up large spiritual fields for planting spirit grains, spiritual herbs, and spiritual plants, while also setting up gathering spirit formations, rain formations, temperature control formations, and various other formations for each spiritual field.

They also encouraged childbirth, rewarding more for more births, among other policies, all aimed at ensuring that these cultivation resources benefit everyone on the Abandoned Prison Star.

Since everyone on the Abandoned Prison had the Ye family bloodline, even if a large amount of these cultivation resources flowed out, they would still remain within reach.

Moreover, using these resources for major infrastructure would yield even greater returns in the future.

For instance, opening spiritual fields would provide substantial profits later on.

They also supported alchemists, weapon smiths, talisman-makers, etc., which would cultivate a large pool of talent for the Abandoned Prison.

Of course, the main reason Ye Jian’s children were undertaking this major infrastructure was that they had more resources than they could use; otherwise, they would not bother with such projects at all.

…

With a command from the most esteemed members of the Ye family, the entire Abandoned Prison quickly sprang into action.

In the ensuing time, the Abandoned Prison underwent significant changes almost every day.

Countless locations rich in spiritual energy were cultivated and transformed into spiritual fields and lands with formations set up.

In every city, people were working on constructing teleportation arrays.

In addition, many people, after earning money, wanted to build houses and caves for seclusion and cultivation.

However, building houses and caves consumed a large amount of the acquired resources.

This ultimately led to a booming situation in which the major infrastructure initiated by the Ye family thrived vigorously, while various commercial activities among the people became increasingly frequent.

As a result, the entire Abandoned Prison Star appeared very vibrant, no matter where people lived.

Decades later, Ye Jian returned to the Abandoned Prison after being away.

She was very pleased with what had happened during her absence, choosing to focus on her own seclusion and cultivation instead of involving herself in the infrastructure progress.

Now, many sisters in the group chat were also working hard on their cultivation, and she naturally did not want to fall behind.

Another few decades passed.

While in seclusion, Ye Jian was awakened by her children.

“Mother, the construction on the Abandoned Prison Star has reached a bottleneck, so I want to send the younger generation out to develop in the starry skies,” Ye Jian’s eldest daughter said to her.

“Develop in the starry skies?”

Ye Jian pondered for a moment and asked, “How has the younger generation been cultivating over the years?”

“Mother, most people in the Abandoned Prison have already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and, in addition, five percent have reached the Transformation stage.”

“And the Integration stage?” Ye Jian inquired.

She had already looked at her daughters’ cultivation levels and noted that none had broken through to the Integration stage.

Though her children possessed spirit roots, they didn’t have any significant advantages compared to other younger generation members.

Upon hearing Ye Jian’s question, her eldest daughter hurriedly replied, “Mother, the Integration stage is just too difficult to break through. Currently, only one person has achieved it.”

“Who?” Ye Jian asked in surprise.

She did not expect anyone to actually have broken through to the Integration stage and that it would only be one person.

“It’s Eighth Child’s granddaughter. She only has an ordinary top-grade spirit root, but her comprehension is incredibly strong, allowing her to cultivate much faster than the children with Immortal spirit roots,” Ye Jian’s eldest daughter explained.

Hearing this, Ye Jian nodded.

“Top-grade spirit roots can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage without bottlenecks; this is merely a person’s lower limit, not their upper limit for cultivation.

As long as a person possesses a firm heart vow, strong comprehension, and is willing to endure hardships, even with low-level spirit roots, they still have the potential to undergo tribulation and become an immortal.”

One of her daughters curiously asked, “What happens after becoming an immortal? Does talent still matter?”

“After becoming an immortal, everyone transforms into an immortal body, which means they all possess Immortal spirit roots. At that point, regardless of whether you had Immortal spirit roots or low-level spirit roots, the starting point becomes the same.”

“Of course, there’s an exception for those with Acquired Divine Demons.

However, even those with upper acquired divine demons only have a lower limit of the True Immortal realm; it doesn’t guarantee you will cultivate to the Golden Immortal level.

In fact, many beings without any backing still achieve the Golden Immortal status.”
