Creation Cloud-Pattern Pill
He looked up and saw that the speaker was an acquaintance, Wei Xuyuan, the patriarch of the Wei Immortal Clan of Boyang Commandery.
Wei Xuyuan stood with several Foundation Establishment cultivators. Upon seeing Chen Nianzhi, he bid farewell to those around him, stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Fellow Daoist Nianzhi, it has been more than ten years since we last met."
"I never imagined that you could break through two realms in just over ten years. Such a speed of cultivation truly makes me ashamed."
"Brother Dao, what are you saying? My cultivation is nowhere near as profound as yours," Chen Nianzhi said with a slight smile. "I've heard that your cultivation is now unfathomable, and you're only one step away from the Purple Mansion Realm."
"With this level of cultivation, he's probably not far from reaching the Purple Mansion Realm."
Wei Xuyuan shook his head and said with a wry smile, "To my shame, a few years ago I exhausted Spirit Stone in my clan and used connections to purchase a Jia-Wood Crystal from the Yan Kingdom, but unfortunately I still failed to break through to the Purple Mansion."
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be sad," Chen Nianzhi advised upon hearing this. "Even with the help of the Jia-Wood Crystal, the chances of breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm are only about 30%."
"Aside from truly exceptional geniuses, it's extremely rare to succeed on the first try."
"Fellow Daoist, your lifespan is still quite sufficient. After your meridians recover in twenty or thirty years, you will have another chance to break through. You might even be able to break through to the Purple Mansion."
I hope so.
Hearing his words of comfort, Wei Xuyuan nodded, feeling somewhat better.
He is only 160 years old now. Although he failed to break through this time, he still managed to penetrate a small part of the Purple Mansion Dao Meridian.
After penetrating nearly half of the Purple Mansion Dao Meridian, his True Essence increased by 30%. With this 30% increase in True Essence, he could increase his chances of breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm by 10% or 20% next time.
This time, in order to purchase the Jia-Wood Crystal, he spent a high premium of 100,000 Spirit Stone, exhausting the wealth accumulated by the Wei Immortal Clan over a hundred years.
Although the Wei Immortal Clan occupies six Second-Order Spirit Vein, there are eleven Foundation Establishment cultivators and thousands of Qi Refining Cultivator who need to be supported. The Spirit Stone they accumulate each year are not necessarily more than those of the Chen Clan.
Under these circumstances, if he wants to purchase a treasure like the Jia-Wood Crystal again, he will probably have to borrow money from both inside and outside the bank and take a desperate gamble.
In this situation, if he succeeds, it will naturally benefit the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan, allowing them to seize greater interests, and their internal and external debts can be gradually resolved.
But if they fail again, then the Wei Clan will end up like the Chen Clan bought the Violet Sun Jade ninety years ago, squandering the Lineage's wealth accumulated over hundreds of years.
When Wei Xuyuan, whose lifespan is nearly over, passes away, the cultivators of the Wei Clan Lineage will be filled with fear, and the other Lineage will turn into tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves.
Even the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan would take a bite, and the Wei Clan might not be able to protect even half of these six Spirit Vein.
This matter is quite heavy, and I don't want to discuss it any further, so Wei Xuyuan changed the subject and asked.
"By the way, what are you planning to buy at the Yang Province Exchange Fair this time?"
Chen Nianzhi hesitated for a moment, then said directly, "I've come here to purchase a Azure Origin Ganoderma or Qingyuan Pill."
"I guessed so." Wei Xuyuan shook his head, but still reminded him, "There are less than ten years left until the Beast Turmoil, and there are many people who want to buy Qingyuan Pill. You may not be able to buy Qingyuan Pill or Azure Origin Ganoderma as you wish."
Hearing him say that, Chen Nianzhi felt somewhat confident. He had more than 10,000 Spirit Stone on him. Although the Qingyuan Pill was expensive, it would normally cost only 3,000 Spirit Stone. The Azure Origin Ganoderma was priced at around 5,000 Spirit Stone.
The Qingyuan Pill can only increase the chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage stage by 30%. Some unlucky people may not be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage even if they take three or four pills, so it is generally impossible for it to be sold at an extremely high premium.
Even with the impending Beast Turmoil causing this item to command a high price, he didn't believe he couldn't buy it with 10,000 Spirit Stone.
As the two were chatting, the Exchange Fair finally began.
The person in charge of hosting this Exchange Fair was a female cultivator from the Azure Sun Sect.
The woman was tall and slender, and looked to be only twenty-three or twenty-eight years old. However, her cultivation level was at the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, which was no weaker than Su Mingwei, Jiang Linglong's disciple. Clearly, she had a knack for preserving her youth.
"Fellow Daoists, I am Su Ling, and I greet you."
After taking the stage, she bowed slightly to the crowd and then took out three treasures.
The moment Chen Nianzhi saw those three treasures, her pupils contracted slightly, and a fiery glint flashed in her heart.
Of those three treasures, the first one is the Blazing Fire Crystal. Chen Nianzhi's Life-Bound Immortal Sword was forged from this material, so he naturally knew how precious this treasure was.
The second treasure is the third-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures 'Earth Fire Earthfire Mystic Gold Earthfire Mystic Gold ', which is a third-tier fire-attribute refining material.
This item can be used to refine Law Treasure of the Purple Mansion level, and it can only be born from Tier-4 Subterranean Fire Vein.
Even within the Azure Sun Sect's Tier 4 Low-Grade Subterranean Fire Vein, only one or two such fire veins are produced every ten years, making them priceless despite their availability.
The third treasure was a precious Precious Pill with cloud patterns inside. It radiated a hazy spiritual light and contained a trace of Power of Creation, making it look extremely precious.
"Creation Cloud-Pattern Pill,"
Chen Nianzhi's alchemy skills have become increasingly profound, and he recognized the origin of the pill at a glance.
The Creation Cloud-Pattern Pill is a low-grade, third-tier precious Precious Pill. Legend has it that to refine this pill, one needs to combine the Tier 3 Spirit Herb ' Cloud-Pattern Fruit ' and ' Blazing Fire Crystal '. Once refined, it will contain extremely precious creation spiritual essence.
It is said that after taking this pill, there is a 30% chance that it can help cultivators at the Third-Layer Purple Mansion realm break through the bottleneck of the Mid-Purple Mansion realm, saving them 60 years of arduous work in honing their Law Power power.
The value of Tier 3 Spirit Herb, the Cloud-Pattern Fruit, generally starts at around 50,000 Spirit Stone, Blazing Fire Crystal ranges from 50,000 to 80,000 Spirit Stone. Without connections, one can be ripped off and have to pay a significant premium to buy it.
Even with the Alchemy Art of Liu Patriarch, the Tier 3 Mid-grade ancestor of the Azure Sun Sect's Purple Mansion, he could only refine three of these pills each time, which shows how precious they were.
"Just who is this Su Ling? How could she possibly produce three such incredibly precious treasures?"
Thinking this, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but send a Wei Xuyuan to ask.
Wei Xuyuan noticed his doubt and whispered, "This Su Ling is said to be a disciple of Xu Patriarch of the Azure Sun Sect."
"But all the cultivators in Azure Sun Two Provinces understand that she is actually Xu Patriarch's concubine."
Chen Nianzhi frowned slightly and did not continue the conversation on this topic.
At this moment, Su Ling finished introducing the three treasures and then smiled and said...
"I'm sure everyone understands the value of these three treasures, so I won't elaborate further."
"I want to trade them for ' Yi-Wood Crystal ' and a Tier 3 Wood Attribute Law Artifact. If you have enough Spirit Stone, a trade is possible as long as the price is high enough."
As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.
After a moment of silence, a voice suddenly rang out. "I'll offer you a Yi-Wood Crystal in exchange for a Cloud-Pattern Creation Pill."
