Bounties, Greater Rifts, and best of all: normal Rifts. Pick up all Mats. Pick up all items and Salvage them at the Blacksmith. Sell nothing. (Unless it cannot be Salvaged).
Click on all Armor Racks and Weapon Racks you come across. They mostly drop Common (white and gray) items that can be Salvaged for Reusable Parts.
If you do this, you will end up with tons of Reusable Parts. Then, on page 7 of Kanai’s Cube, there’s a Recipe for converting Reusable Parts into Arcane Dust or Veiled Crystal, depending on what you need most.
Check out Kanai’s Cube, Horadric Recipes for more information.
Give your Follower a Ring of Royal Grandeur and 2 pieces of the Sage’s Journey Set, crafted at the Blacksmith. This will allow you to pick up double the number of Death’s Breaths that drop. (Up to 8 at a time on Torment XVI).
Don’t hoard Legendary items. If you know you’ll never use it, Salvage it. That includes Ancient and Primal versions.

Ty, is normal rifts best for Veiled crystal?
I need Veiled crystal the most…
So, Veiled Crystals come from salvaging rares (yellow items). You get 1 per salvaged item.
I don’t remember the exact table, but the Greater Rift Guardians (often abbreviated to GRG) drop up to 12 guaranteed items at the higher difficulties. These items, as you progress to higher and higher GR levels, become guaranteed yellow, and then legendary/set. The scaling caps at I think GR95, beyond which there’s like a stupidly low chance of getting NON-legendary/sets.
Basically what it means is once you can farm around GR100 comfortably, you’ll be getting 12 Forgotten Souls minimum just about every time you run a GR, assuming nothing useful drops.
Now, the other thing GR’s are guaranteed to drop that scales with the level number, are Blood Shards. You use those to Gamble for items at Kadala. I think GR100 drops like 500 shards, at least. Your max capacity for carrying Blood Shards also increases with higher GR clears.
THOSE are what give you the most yellows. Cheapest would be most armors at only 25 shards per, that’s 20 shots and most of those shots will be yellow, with the occasional blue or legendary/set. Personally though, I like to gamble for rings which cost 50 Shards because there’s a chance you could gamble a Puzzle Ring.
Puzzle Rings open up The Vault when they are put into Kanai’s Cube, where you get millions of gold and usually a couple of goblins. But it gets better – if you play on Season, you can sanctify the Puzzle Rings to make them Ancient Puzzle Rings, which opens the Ancient Vault, which is packed with goblins.
So a TL;DR version: run normal rifts for GR keys, push the highest GR you can comfortably clear within maybe 5 minutes tops, salvage everything not immediately useful, and use the shards to gamble for rings. At a min of 12 legendaries and like 10 yellows per run, added on to what you get from the normal rifts, you’ll be swimming in Veiled Crystals and Forgotten Souls before long. I often find myself converting Crystals down to Spare Parts because my discrepancy is so large.

I pretty much run into the same situation. That’s why I mentioned the Kanai’s Cube Recipe: Pleasure of Iben Fahd (Page #7). You convert 100 Reusable Parts into 100 Veiled Crystals.
The Recipe is:
100 Reusable Parts + 1 Death’s Breath + 1 Rare item = 100 Veiled Crystals
If you ever need Arcane Dust, use the same Recipe. Only you’ll need Magic items:
100 Reusable Parts + 1 Death’s Breath + 1 Magic item = 100 Arcane Dust
Other than that, @Dimlhugion covered it extremely well.
