"Treasure?"

Upon hearing Gu Jinlai said, Jiang Yujian was first taken aback, then laughed and said, "What treasures could you possibly have? To ascend from Saint to Immortal, one must prove one's own Dao, then use one's own Dao to trigger the interaction between Celestial Person, thereby attracting a tribulation of lightning. Only after passing the tribulation of lightning can one become an Immortal. After becoming an Immortal, in addition to perfecting the Great Dao and forming the Dao Fruit, the most important thing is to forge an Immortal Body."

At this point, he smiled and said, "It's fine if the Great Dao is perfected. Although I don't have a Dao artifact, our Creation Sect's 'Creation' Heavenly Dao is said to point directly to the legendary Great Dao of Creation. I don't know if it's true or not, but relying on the insights that Master Ye gained from activating the 'Creation' Heavenly Dao back then, the Dao I have realized is not far from being perfected. With the speed at which the Creation Cave Heaven accumulates spirituality, it will be about right if I activate the 'Creation' Heavenly Dao and perform it thirty or forty more times."

"Thirty or forty times is enough?"

There have been some surprises Gu Jinlai.

Is achieving perfect enlightenment so easy?

Or is it that the Heavenly Dao is so helpful to cultivators in their enlightenment?

"At once?"

Jiang Yujian looked at Gu Jinlai with an expression that said, "He doesn't know the value of money until he's in charge of the household: 'Back then, our Creation Sect was a sect with a Celestial Immortal presiding over it, just like the Heavenly Fire Sect. Although our power has declined in recent years, it would still take three to four hundred years of spiritual energy to activate the Creation Heavenly Dao thirty or forty times, based on daily accumulation!'"

After saying that, he continued, "Furthermore, the resources required to forge an immortal body are also enormous. Do you know that forging an immortal body is not as simple as just using immortal refined gold..."

"I know that we also need other items of the five elements, such as Heavenly Spirit Wood, Floating Water, Six Yang Flame Crystal, and Obsidian Divine Stone."

Gu Jinlai calmly said, "In reality, only about a thousand portions of each material are needed. However, there will inevitably be some losses when refining these materials, and the loss rate is as high as 60% to 70%. For some people with lower comprehension, it can even reach 80% or 90%. Therefore, theoretically, three to four thousand portions of each material are needed to ensure the condensation of the immortal body."

"Our Creation Sect's 'Creation' Dao is adept at understanding the characteristics of various materials, and has a high utilization rate for top-tier materials. Three or four thousand portions are not needed, two thousand portions are about right. However, Immortal Refined Gold is one thing, but the Heavenly Spirit Wood, Six Yang Flame Crystal, and Obsidian Divine Stone, which require extremely high spirituality to be nurtured, are worth as much as three or four portions of Immortal Refined Gold!"

"Two thousand servings is enough? Two thousand servings of each, that's over ten thousand servings in total?"

This has truly astonished people Gu Jinlai.

The forging of a celestial body is different from the condensation of a sacred body.

It must be said that the people in this world have a really high rate of refining and utilizing heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

"You little rascal, you really don't understand the value of resources."

Jiang Yujian said irritably, "Do you know how valuable these materials are?! If you were to cultivate using only these top-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the total cost would probably be no less than buying three or four high-grade Dao artifacts. Listen carefully, high-grade Dao artifacts! If this were the heyday of our Creation Sect, gathering these resources wouldn't be difficult, but now..."

He waved his hand. "The only way is to extract the wood element energy, fire element energy, and earth vein energy from those ancient forests, volcanoes, and underground places that are full of vital energy, and slowly simmer them over time."

Gu Jinlai ignored Jiang Yujian's last words and directly took out a spatial ring and handed it over. "Take a look, is this enough? If not, I have more."

"What is that?"

Jiang Yujian, puzzled, took the ring and said with a smile, "You wouldn't be trying to tell me that this contains top-grade materials for forging an immortal body..."

Before he could finish speaking, his voice abruptly stopped as his divine sense swept over the spatial ring.

Immortal Refined Gold, Celestial Spirit Wood, Floating Water, Six Yang Flame Crystal, Obsidian Divine Stone...

The five elements were arranged neatly inside.

That's not the key point.

The key point is that the quantity of each of the five elements definitely exceeds three thousand portions!

Even extremely rare materials like Heavenly Spirit Wood, Six Yang Flame Crystal, and Obsidian Divine Stone are no exception.

"How..."

"Oh, I forgot. Activating the Heavenly Dao requires spiritual energy. Spiritual energy can only be gathered by combining the grotto-heaven and the spiritual energy technique in an area teeming with living beings. I don't have any."

From Gu Jinlai, they have been taking out a box.

Even though the box was not yet opened and had various sealing marks on it, the spiritual energy emanating from it still made Jiang Yujian's eyes widen.

"I don't have spiritual energy, but I do have fifty spirit crystals that are refined from highly concentrated spiritual energy. See if that's enough for you."

Jiang Yujian stared dumbfounded at the two treasures that had been brought out one after the Gu Jinlai, unable to recover for a long time.

Gu Jinlai, the box has always been handed to Jiang Yujian, who waits patiently and calmly.

After a dozen or so breaths, Jiang Yujian finally looked down at his box. When he opened the box and felt the spiritual energy rushing towards him, which seemed to be able to quickly activate the Dao Fruit that had not yet been conceived in his body, he shuddered and his hand trembled, almost dropping the box.

He hurriedly and carefully held the box with both hands, afraid that the fifty spirit crystals inside might be damaged in any way.

Fifty spiritual crystals!

This is equivalent to the total spiritual energy that the Creation Gate's jurisdiction could provide in five hundred years.

"Third brother, all these things of yours..."

"As I said, I received the inheritance of a primordial divine beast, and that divine beast happens to be the kind that loves money and has accumulated a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

This Gu Jinlai.

Jiang Yujian looked at Gu Jinlai and knew that he was definitely lying.

It's somewhat plausible that innate divine heavenly materials and earthly treasures; some innate divine beasts are even born alongside heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

But spirit crystals...

It's basically a technology created by humans using the power of the cave heavens to collect and store spiritual energy. Saying that the treasures stored by innate divine beasts contain spiritual crystals is less accurate than saying that a tiger has stored hundreds of thousands of banknotes.

However, regardless of the Gu Jinlai, Jiang Yujian wisely refrained from pursuing the matter further.

Fifteen thousand top-quality materials!

Fifty spiritual crystals!

This is a wealth of resources that the entire Creation Sect cannot currently provide.

But now his third brother is taking it out without hesitation, just to help him become a true immortal.

He only needs to remember that his third brother genuinely meant well for him, and that's enough.

"So, with these resources, can you forge an immortal body and become a true immortal?"

Gu Jinlai have sought this question.

"Able."

Jiang Yujian nodded emphatically. "Fifty opportunities to activate the 'Heavenly Dao' and comprehend the Great Dao of Creation, three thousand sets of various materials—how can I not forge an immortal body, attain the Dao Fruit, and become a true immortal? What qualifications do I have to be entrusted with such an important task by Master Ye and shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing the Creation Sect?"

"Then go, and inherit the Creation Cave Heaven as soon as possible, and take control of the Creation Heavenly Dao."

This Gu Jinlai.

"Third brother..."

"I've been to many places besides overseas during this time; I have other rich experiences as well. I will explain everything to you when the time is right..."

"I know."

Jiang Yujian reached out and interrupted Gu Jinlai's explanatory words, "You don't need to explain. I know you must have your own fortuitous opportunity, but I only need to be sure that you are my third brother and will not harm me. That's enough."

"That's right, I won't hurt you."

Gu Jinlai listened and did not press the matter further. He simply said, "I have also obtained a High Antiquity method for refining war puppets. If you can take control of the Creation Heavenly Dao and assist me in refining these war puppets, I believe that in the future, the Creation Sect will definitely be able to advance further under your control. Not to mention becoming a large force, it is not impossible for it to become a top force or even a hegemonic force."

"Using the principles of creation Heavenly Dao to forge war puppets?"

Jiang Yujian nodded. "Although the Creation Heavenly Dao does not significantly increase combat power and cannot exert any real suppression on enemies, it has incredible efficiency in crafting artifacts."

At this point, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "However... activating the power of the Heavenly Dao once often consumes a lot of spiritual energy... It's best not to use the power of the Heavenly Dao when refining ordinary tools, otherwise, the value of the tools or puppets you ultimately refine will not even be as high as the cost of activating the Heavenly Dao once."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

This Gu Jinlai.

"Haha, then I won't say any more. Just wait for my good news."

As Jiang Yujian spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, "Why don't you come with me to the grotto heaven to observe the 'Creation' Heavenly Dao and see if you can find an opportunity to become an immortal?"

"No need. Didn't you promise to let me go to Baihe City? I'll take this time to travel around and learn about the specific situation of Yanhe Road."

Gu Jinlai, seeing that Jiang Yujian was a little worried, he added again, "I have said that the path of innate divine beasts is my true foundation. Compared with the Mahayana Realm of cultivation, the path of innate divine beasts... I estimate that I can hold my own against a True Immortal."

"A true immortal!?"

Jiang Yujian opened his eyes wide again.

He felt that he was more shocked today than in the past ten years or so, to the point that he was somewhat numb with shock.

After a long while, he finally let out a long breath. "That's right, to be able to produce so many top-quality materials and so many spirit crystals in one go, your true strength must be stronger than I expected..."

After saying that, he looked at Gu Jinlai with a gleaming gaze. "As expected of my third brother, although the path of the Innate Saint is difficult, its potential is also incredibly amazing. In particular, the path of the Innate Saint points directly to the Three Thousand Great Daos and is not suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. If you, third brother, can truly explore the path of the Innate Saint to its fullest extent, you will surely be invincible in the future!"

"What's the point of one person being invincible? We need to become strong together, so that the Creation Sect can also become the number one sect in the world. That's what we'll achieve."

He said with a smile, "Gu Jinlai."

"Yes! Let's grow stronger together and lead the Creation Sect to become the number one sect in the Flame River Dao, the Northern Region, and even the Xuanxian Realm!"

Jiang Yujian patted Gu Jinlai heavily on the shoulder.

"Then I will wait for the moment when you emerge from seclusion and take control of the 'Creation' Heavenly Dao."

"Alright, I will do my best. Without further ado, I will arrange what I have to do and go to the cave to find Master Ye for seclusion so that I can break through to the True Immortal realm."
