Darksteel Ore Vein

Chen Nianzhi adjusted her mindset and did not stay at Heavenly Ruins Mountain for long. She left Heavenly Ruins Mountain a few days later.

Before leaving, he purchased auxiliary ingredients for the Spirit-Concentrating Pill and the Explosive Origin Pill from Heavenly Ruins Mountain. Unfortunately, both of these pills require a large number of auxiliary spirit medicine, some of which are relatively rare, so he did not manage to purchase all of them.

Left with no other choice, he could only return to Qingyuan Mountain and prepare to mobilize his Lineage's resources to acquire these spirit medicine from the various Lineage in Yu Commandery.

The group used their Law Power to create an ice coffin and carried the Second Elder's remains home. The atmosphere was somewhat somber, and it took them three months to finally reach Qingyuan Mountain.

Upon returning to Qingyuan Mountain, news that Chen Nianzhi had brought back another Foundation-Building Pill quickly spread Lineage. That very night, someone came to their door, wanting to take the Foundation-Building Pill.

The newcomer was Chen Nianxu, a rising star of the Nian Generation. Although he only possessed Three Element Spiritual Root, his ancestor was Foundation Establishment cultivator who died in Lineage eighty years ago, thus inheriting a considerable contribution from the Lineage.

Over the years, Chen Nianxu has made rapid progress in his cultivation thanks to the wealth left by his ancestors. In addition, with the Lineage's booming development in the past decade, he exchanged two Spirit Peach and his cultivation has actually reached the Qi Refining Grand Completion.

Although the two were of the same generation, Chen Nianzhi's status in the hearts of the clan was second only to the Old Clan Leader. His prestige had gradually taken root in people's hearts and was no longer comparable to what it used to be.

Having cultivated all the way to this day, who in the entire Border Province doesn't know that Chen Nianzhi is ruthless and merciless? He has killed seven or eight Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even four Foundation Establishment Ancestor of the Lin Clan have been killed by him.

If we include Demon Beast and the Yi-Wood Demon Race race, he actually killed more than a dozen Foundation Establishment opponents in just over ten years. Such astonishing and swift methods would even frighten Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator.

At this moment, Chen Nianxu came to his door, wanting the Foundation-Building Pill, but he was a little afraid of him and hesitated to speak.

"I know why you've come." Chen Nianzhi frowned, somewhat displeased, and said, "But this Foundation-Building Pill was left by your Uncle Qinghe. Now that Uncle Qinghe's body is barely cold, you're already asking me for Foundation-Building Pill. Isn't that a bit too hasty?"

"This..."

Chen Nianxu was speechless, his fear growing stronger, and could only timidly say, "I understand."

"You should go back first. I'll consider the candidate for the Foundation-Building Pill after Uncle Qinghe's burial."

Watching him leave, Chen Nianzhi sighed inwardly. This Chen Nianxu had inherited good fortune from his ancestors and his affinity for immortality was not bad, but he was a bit too timid. If a cultivator loses his drive, he will probably find it difficult to achieve great things.

Although he thought this way, he also knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Foundation-Building Pill should still be given to Chen Nianxu. After all, in terms of both seniority and cultivation, Chen Nianxu was the most suitable candidate for the Lineage.

After he Foundation Establishment, his Lineage's finances improved, and with the help of the Spirit Peach, they successively gained seven or eight cultivators at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining. However, most of these people lacked a solid foundation and needed to continue honing their skills for a few more years.

Although Xian Ling Xian Yan have received his guidance and have a solid foundation, they have only recently broken through to the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining and will need to wait another seven or eight years to break through to the Foundation Establishment.

On the contrary, Chen Nianxu has perfected his cultivation and inherited the Lineage's contributions of more than three thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators from his ancestors, making him arguably the most suitable candidate among them.

"..."

The funeral arrangements for Chen Qinghe were personally handled by the Third Elder. The old man held a very high position in the Lineage, and almost all the Qi Refining Cultivator in the Lineage came. Even Chen Qingwan took leave from Yuyang Market to attend her cousin's funeral.

Among them are many young children, mostly between six and ten years old, many of whom are still in the introductory stage of cultivation and have not yet formally embarked on the path of cultivation.

Since the Lineage relaxed its birth restrictions, the number of newborns in the Lineage has exceeded 200,000 in just ten years, which has also led to a significant increase in the number of cultivators in the Lineage.

The Great Elder in charge of the Lineage's inheritance at Qingyuan Mountain was extremely busy, as the Lineage had been adding about twenty cultivators every year for the past four years, ten times more than in previous years, and this trend was not expected to decrease in the next twenty years.

After the funeral, Chen Nianzhi summoned all the cultivators in the Lineage who were at least at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining to discuss the distribution of the Foundation-Building Pill.

The meeting had just begun, and before he could even speak, a beautiful female cultivator from the Lineage reported an important piece of information.

This person is named Chen Nianfu. She is forty-nine years old this year, but her Eighth Layer of Qi Refining, which is considered to be barely entering the middle and upper levels of the Lineage.

"Not long ago, I left my Lineage to travel and accidentally discovered a Darksteel Ore Vein."

"What?"

Chen Qinghao's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but stand up and exclaim, "Why didn't you report this sooner?"

Mystic Iron is the Essence of Ten Thousand Metals and a rare and precious material for refining weapons. Chen Nianzhi's Jiuyi Bell was made of Mystic Iron. This material has an extremely high density; a fist-sized portion weighs a thousand catties, and each portion is worth more than six hundred Spirit Stone.

Even a small-scale Darksteel Ore Vein Darksteel Ore Vein produce a thousand catties of Mystic Iron every year, enough to forge a Tier 2 Low-grade Law Artifact.

If the clan leader were to refine it into Tier 2 Low-grade Law Artifact, the annual income from this Darksteel Ore Vein could reach over a thousand Spirit Stone.

It's no wonder Chen Qinghao couldn't sit still after receiving such a valuable reward.

In response to the Third Elder's question, Chen Nianfu continued, "After I discovered it, I rushed back to the Lineage immediately."

"It just so happens that Uncle Qinghe passed away, so we held off on reporting it immediately."

"Then take us there now." Chen Nianzhi stood up and said decisively, "If the Darksteel Ore Vein is real, then the Lineage will naturally reward us handsomely."

Seeing Chen Nianzhi about to leave, Chen Nianxu's face paled slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "About the Foundation-Building Pill..."

"We'll talk about it when I get back."

As soon as Chen Nianzhi finished speaking, she summoned the Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword and flew out of Qingyuan Mountain with Chen Nianfu in her arms.

The Third Elder knew perfectly well what was going on. He glanced at Chen Nianxu, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed, "If the Darksteel Ore Vein is real, then this Foundation-Building Pill should belong to Nianfu."

"You can't compare to their achievements and contributions; you need to be mentally prepared."

After speaking, the Third Elder summoned the Bright Abyss Void Spirit Sword and followed closely behind.

Chen Nianxu watched the departing group, his face turning deathly pale. He knew very well that if they missed this Foundation Foundation-Building Pill, his Lineage would not purchase any more Foundation-Building Pill before the Beast Turmoil.

The Lineage will accumulate Spirit Stone during this period, and will continue to buy Foundation-Building Pill after the Beast Turmoil Foundation-Building Pill the drop in price. By then, he will have already passed his peak age of sixty.

Thinking of this, his face grew even paler, and a trace of pain and confusion, as well as a hint of resentment, appeared in his pupils.
