Pan Boyuan's Letter
After dealing with these matters, Chen Nianzhi discovered that his Alchemy Art and Artifact Refining Art had improved significantly again, and he had even reached the threshold of the third tier.
This is because by assisting in the refining of a large number of high-level pills and Law Artifact, their Cultivation's Hundred Arts naturally improved significantly.
The two were walking on the mountaintop that day when Jiang Linglong noticed his significant progress and smiled, saying, "Not bad."
"It seems that once you break through to the Purple Mansion, your alchemy, Array Instrument, artifact, and talisman skills will all reach the third tier."
"The reason for this progress is simply because I've observed you refine pills and forge weapons; practice makes perfect."
Chen Nianzhi said calmly, glancing at Jiang Linglong again before asking, "When are you going to make your move against the Heavenly Python Demon King?"
The Tier 4 Water-Origin Pearl in the Fourth-Order Water Vein of Heavenly Python Lake is related to the final step of Jiang Linglong's Spirit Root completion. It is too important to miss, and it must be obtained no matter what.
Jiang Linglong pondered for a moment, then said, "Heavenly Python Lake is its lair. Even Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator would find it difficult to kill it in the lake's environment, so I can't do anything about it either."
"However, I have been cultivating the Great Divine Ability ' Grand Void Five Calamities Divine Light ' for many years, and I am only one step away from successfully cultivating it. Once I have successfully cultivated this technique, the Heavenly Python Demon King will be no threat."
"Let's wait a little longer."
Hearing her say that, Chen Nianzhi nodded and told her that she planned to go to the Yan Kingdom in a few days to see if she could purchase a Ren-Water Crystal.
With a third-tier immortal sword to hone his True Essence, he can break through to the Purple Mansion once he has accumulated enough True Essence, unlike ordinary Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer who need to hone their True Qi for twenty or thirty years.
This means that he will definitely be able to break through to the Purple Mansion Realm within the next ten years or so, and at that time he may be able to lend Jiang Linglong a helping hand.
Before this, he wanted to refine the Ren-Water Azure Lotus Platform. With this item to store his Law Power, he would be almost certain to succeed in breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm, and could basically succeed in one go.
Jiang Linglong remained silent, saying nothing more, simply standing there quietly as the two of them gazed at the Vast Expanse Wilderness side by side.
This journey to the Yan Kingdom is a million miles away, and they still have to cross a 300,000-mile stretch of Demon Race territory. However, she is stationed at Heavenly Ruins Mountain to guard against the Demon Race, so she can only watch him go alone.
After a long while, she turned around and glanced at Chen Nianzhi, then took out a treasure box and handed it to Chen Nianzhi.
When Chen Nianzhi opened it, she found a rare Xin-Metal Crystal inside.
"I obtained this from Earth Lion Ridge; it might be useful to you."
Hearing Jiang Linglong's words, Chen Nianzhi did not refuse. He had discussed the method of refining Life-bound Magical Treasure with Jiang Linglong.
To refine the Primal Magnetic Treasure Metal into Life-bound Magical Treasure, it is best to refine both Geng-Metal Crystal and Xin-Metal Crystal together. Only in this way can the power of Yin-Yang Magnetism be maximized.
According to their calculations, once this treasure is refined and cultivated to a high level, it can restrain anything of the metal element, whether it be a tangible Law Treasure or an intangible Divine Ability.
"..."
Chen Nianzhi stayed with Jiang Linglong at Heavenly Ruins Mountain for three days before finally leaving on her Heavenly Ruins Mountain.
When he returned to Yu Commandery, he found that five of the eleven Foundation-Building Pill in the Lineage had already been distributed. Three of these five people had successfully Foundation Establishment: Chen Nianfeng and Chen Nianzhen from the Nian Generation, and Chen Xianyu from the Xian Generation.
The remaining six Foundation-Building Pill were temporarily set aside because there were no suitable candidates. The plan was to wait until other eligible cultivators in the Lineage broke through to the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer and had sufficiently refined their True Essence before making a comprehensive decision on the best candidate.
As soon as Chen Nianzhi returned to the Lineage, the Old Clan Leader found him and said with a solemn expression, "There is something I need to discuss with you."
"What's wrong that makes you so serious?"
Chen Nianzhi frowned and couldn't help but ask.
As the Old Clan Leader's expression turned solemn, he handed over a letter.
"Take a look first."
He took the letter, glanced at it, and quickly understood the whole story.
It turns out that not long ago, a Purple Mansion Immortal Clan sent a letter, expressing their desire to settle down in Yu Commandery.
The Purple Mansion Immortal Clan was none other than the Pan Clan, the overlord of Jiaoyang Commandery. In the battle of Jiaoyang Mountain, two of the three Purple Mansion Immortals of the Pan Immortal Clan were killed, and more than 70% of the clan's cultivators were lost. Only Pan Boyuan led a small number of clansmen and cultivators to retreat to Boyang Commandery to recuperate.
After the Beast Turmoil ended, Pan Boyuan discovered that his family had nowhere to stay. The once-great Lineage was reduced to only seven or eight Foundation Establishment, a little over three hundred Qi Refining realm, and more than three thousand mortal family members.
Without the Spirit Vein, the Pan Clan was also feared by the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan in Boyang Commandery, so they could only turn their attention to Yu Commandery.
Just then, the Lin Immortal Clan was destroyed, leaving behind the Azure Ink Mountain, a second-grade superior Spirit Vein. Since there was no Purple Mansion Immortal Clan in Yu Commandery, Pan Boyuan had the idea of taking over Yu Commandery.
Originally, with his status as Purple Mansion Ancestor, occupying the Spirit Vein of Azure Ink Mountain would have been a piece of cake. However, now that the Chen Clan has two Purple Mansion warriors, the Pan Clan ancestor has become somewhat wary.
Pan Boyuan then sent a letter to the Chen Clan, expressing his desire to join Yu Commandery and requesting a meeting with Chen Nianzhi and the Old Clan Leader.
After reading the letter, Chen Nianzhi folded it up and said with a somewhat solemn expression.
"Although the Pan Immortal Clan suffered heavy losses, Pan Boyuan is a cultivator with Thunder Spirit Root, and he has now broken through to the Fourth-Layer Purple Mansion realm."
"If this person moves his Lineage to Yu Commandery, it will greatly diminish the interests of our Chen Clan."
Chen Changxuan nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "However, the arrival of the Pan Clan in Yu Commandery has both advantages and disadvantages."
"With the Purple Yu Commandery Purple Mansion Immortal Clan in charge, Yu County's strength will greatly increase, attracting more Rogue Cultivator to establish Lineage Yu Commandery."
"Moreover, the Pan Clan holds a significant position in Yang Province, which will attract many Qi Refining realm and Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan to relocate to our Yang Province Yu Commandery. Once these people arrive in Yuyang Market Yu Commandery, their profits will undoubtedly increase significantly."
After hearing what the Old Clan Leader had said, Chen Nianzhi also showed a thoughtful expression.
Although the Pan Clan will reduce the benefits of Yu Commandery Yu Commandery after they arrive, they will also bring a large number of cultivators to Yu Commandery.
The hundreds of immortal clans, large and small, in Jiaoyang Commandery are now all carrying large amounts of wealth and are looking for a place to settle down.
If these Lineage and cultivators came to Yu Commandery, the first thing they would do was spend their accumulated Spirit Stone to cultivate a large number of first and second-tier Spirit Vein in Yu Commandery.
In fact, it wasn't just the Lineage in Jiaoyang Commandery who were homeless; many immortal clans in Yunyang Commandery Yang Province and Boyang Commandery were also disillusioned with the Azure Sun Sect. Many Lineage were raising Spirit Stone to prepare to re-cultivate Spirit Vein in the other eight states of the Chu Kingdom.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to migrate. For these Lineage, the Border Province, which is not far from Yang Province and backed by Heavenly Ruins Mountain, is actually a very good choice.
It is foreseeable that in the near future, Yu Commandery will become increasingly prosperous due to the arrival of these Lineage and Rogue Cultivator.
