Two Years Later!

The Zhang Family has naturally accumulated a considerable amount of Spirit Stone over the years, but they certainly can't use them all, since no one knows what the future holds.

So he plans to sell some Earth Core Fire Crystal.

Of course, he wouldn't sell it for much; one million Spirit Stone would suffice.

Once the Zhang Family's large-scale construction project is finished, everything will be alright.

Looking at the large chunk of Earth Core Fire Crystal on the ground, Elder Xu remained silent for a moment before saying, "If the goal is to nurture Fire Vein, at least two-thirds of it will be used."

Two-thirds, which is approximately two cubic meters.

Can.

"How many Mid-grade Spirit Stones would that sell for?"

"Two fist-sized pieces can sell for ten thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stone."

Mid-grade Spirit Stone only exist in trade between forces at the Golden Core stage and above.

After all, the transaction volume between these forces is at least several hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stone.

It would be more convenient to switch to Mid-grade Spirit Stone.

Hearing Elder Xu's words, Zhang Xuanchen turned to look at Yan Ruyu and asked:

Do you accept it?

"Of course we'll take it. We'll definitely take such a rare item as the Earth Core Fire Crystal."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pink longsword flew out instantly, and a piece of the incredibly hard Earth Core Fire Crystal was instantly removed.

The blade encountered no resistance when cutting through the Earth Core Fire Crystal, only emitting a faint pink glow, as if cutting paper.

Spirit Artifact!

After seeing the Dragon Abyss Sword and the Tidal Lotus Lamp, Zhang Xuanchen immediately recognized the grade of the longsword in Yan Ruyu's hand!

It's too sharp!

Even the Earth Core Fire Crystal are as brittle as rotten wood in the face of Spirit Artifact.

After obtaining the Earth Core Fire Crystal, Yan Ruyu tossed Zhang Xuanchen a Storage Bag, and it was obvious that it contained Spirit Stone.

The moment he received the Spirit Stone, it was as if he had remembered something else.

"Elder Xu, approximately how many Spirit Stones are needed to upgrade Third-grade High-tier Spirit Vein to Third-grade Top-tier Spirit Vein?"

"At least 100,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stone are needed!"

Upon hearing this answer, Zhang Xuanchen opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent.

Just as Elder Xu said, at this time, the Lineage's Third-grade High-tier Spirit Vein was supplying the Ancestor's cultivation, and with the operation of many Formation, the cultivation of spirit medicine had almost reached its limit.

Especially after planting that Third Stage low-level Golden Vein Tea Tree and some Third Stage low-level spirit medicine, he could clearly feel the concentration of spiritual Spiritual Qi around him decrease slightly.

The remaining Third-grade Top-tier and even top-grade Spirit Plant are simply impossible to cultivate.

However, 100,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stone is equivalent to 10 million Low-grade Spirit Stone, and that's only a fraction of the total.

It's simply beyond what the Zhang Family can afford right now.

Selling the remaining Earth Core Fire Crystal would certainly be enough, but this stuff would be far better than selling it for Spirit Stone heavenly materials and earthly treasures, whether for refining weapons, setting up formations, or exchanging it with other forces for rare and precious materials.

Zhang Zujun, seemingly aware of Zhang Xuanchen's thoughts, spoke up to offer advice:

"Clan Leader, too much of a good thing is bad. There's still a long future ahead, why rush things?"

Right now, my Zhang Family should do our best in everything we do.

Impatience and haste are not the way forward; gradual progress is the correct approach.

The voice wasn't loud, but it was full of admonition.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen's thoughts became clear as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining.

His furrowed brows relaxed.

Yes, it was too rushed.

He had just become the Clan Leader.

The future is long, why rush things?

Even if he were to truly elevate the Spirit Vein to the Third-grade Top-tier, could Zhang Chongxian, at the Peak Golden Core Mid Stage, possibly maintain it?

He bowed to Zhang Zujun, saying, "Great Elder, I have learned much."

He glanced at Elder Xu and said, "I humbly request Elder Xu to set up the Nine Yang Heaven Melting Array."

Elder Xu nodded.

He had already begun preparations when Zhang Xuanchen first mentioned the idea of creating a sacred alchemy ground.

Moreover, there are two options, one of which is the Nine Yang Heaven Melting Array.

As for the other one, it's naturally a level below this one; forget about nurturing Fire Vein in it.

To save time, he had already prepared and refined all the materials except for the Earth Core Fire Crystal, and inscribed them with runes.

Now all that's needed is to lay the foundation, outline the connecting patterns, place the core, and finally activate it.

What would have taken more than a year to complete can now be finished in about six months.

As for the cost of the raw materials, the Zhang Family will naturally cover it; there is no doubt about that.

With Elder Xu setting up the formation and the elders and hall masters overseeing the Lineage's reforms and development, he, as the Clan Leader, naturally couldn't be idle.

First, they went to Yunhua Immortal City to retrieve the White Fur Rat that contained the bloodline of the Treasure Seeking Rat.

After feeding it a Marrow-Cleansing Grass, I threw it into the Spirit Beast Garden.

Let it transform freely.

Since it's surrounded by a magic array, it can't escape.

He then went to the Transmission Tower and took away the Primordial Spirit Returning Divine Art, Third-tier Cultivation Method for Divine Sense that Zhang Xuanbing had brought back from the Secret Realm.

There was no cultivation Cultivation Method for Divine Sense in the Profound Dragon Venerable's legacy, so this Primordial Spirit Returning Divine Art came at just the right time.

He then picked out a few more Swordsmanship.

These are the Third-tier Sword Technique – Gale Sha Sword Art!

It summons the Nine Heavens Astral Wind, its Sword Qi is sharp, and more importantly, it carries Soul Attack, capable of killing without a trace! Its power is terrifying!

Third-tier Sword Technique – Light Splitting Sword Transformation Technique!

When cultivated to its highest level, it can split into thousands of sword shadows to fight against an enemy, or they can be combined into one to unleash a powerful strike. More importantly, there is a chance to trigger an explosive effect!

Although he was highly perceptive, he did not become arrogant and also selected several Second Stage Swordsmanship.

These are the Blazing Sun Sword Art, the Explosive Sword Art, and a sword-based defensive Law Technique — Sword Shield Body Protection!

After selecting the Law Technique, several days passed, but the Ancestor still hadn't returned.

Zhang Xuanchen didn't wait any longer; with that Second Order Peak Flood Dragon Pearl, there was no rush.

Next, he entered the Cultivation Chamber and entered a state of seclusion.

Time passes unnoticed in the mountains; the passing of winter's chill makes one unaware of the year's end.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

What may be a long and arduous journey for ordinary people is but a fleeting moment for cultivators.

The Cultivation Chamber.

The young man in black robes, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, slowly opened his eyes.

A hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

I stood up and stretched my limbs.

The bones in his body crackled and popped.

He clenched his fist, sensing the power within his body.

He muttered to himself, "After two years of seclusion, my Foundation Establishment Early Stage strength has been completely stabilized, and I've even made considerable progress."

He had mastered all the Second Stage Swordsmanship he had previously chosen to a minor degree.

The Gale Sha Sword Art has also reached the beginner level.

His physical strength has reached the Second Revolution Mid Stage Peak, and his overall strength is absolutely superior to his self from two years ago.

"It's time to go out. I wonder how the Lineage is doing after two years."
