Tier 3 Spirit Peach Tree
"We should be fairly confident in besieging and killing that Mid-Purple Mansion realm cultivator then."
He had barely finished speaking when the Old Clan Leader shook his head and said, "If it were Purple Mansion Demon Beast, we might be able to succeed by doing this."
"But the Geng-Metal Demon Spirit are different. They live within the Geng-Metal Earth Vein, and their Law Power is constantly replenished by the Geng-Metal Essence Qi. Therefore, it is difficult to successfully kill them by exhausting their Law Power."
"Even if we succeed, you will likely suffer heavy losses, which would be a net loss."
Chen Nianzhi nodded in agreement. He had participated in the war to attack the Yi-Wood Earth Vein and knew that to deal with such beings, one had to defeat them in one blow to have a sufficient chance of success.
After all, within the Earth Vein, these demonic spirits possess virtually inexhaustible Law Power Law Power, and can even unleash their supernatural Divine Ability multiple times without fear of running out of power.
Seeing that this method wouldn't work, Chen Xianling said, "Since we can't take over the Earth Vein with our own strength, should we call for reinforcements?"
Everyone hesitated upon hearing this, and in truth, they were all somewhat unwilling.
Within a Geng-Metal Earth Vein lies invaluable treasure. To enlist the help of others, the Chen Clan would need to pay at least one Geng-Metal Crystal.
With Chen Nianzhi and the Old Clan Leader about to break through to the Purple Mansion realm, asking for help now would be tantamount to giving away 100,000 Spirit Stone for nothing, and could even attract unwanted attention.
"There's no need to rush the matter of reinforcements."
Chen Nianzhi shook his head and said that apart from Heavenly Ruins Mountain, no one else was willing to help him.
However, without Jiaoyang Mountain, Heavenly Ruins Mountain is isolated in the desolate borderlands, facing the pressure from Heavenly Python Lake and Earth Lion Ridge alone.
The two Demon King see Heavenly Ruins Mountain as a thorn in their side, making it difficult for Jiang Linglong to spare any time. Her disciple, Lin Qianshu with guarding the Yi-Wood Earth Vein.
Su Mingwei has also gone to the Ji Kingdom. She is Tier 3 Alchemist and is carrying an important mission to find the last few auxiliary medicines to replenish Jiang Linglong's Spirit Root. She probably won't be able to return for a while.
There's no need to rush this.
Chen Changxuan said calmly, "It's only been a little over ten years since I last broke through to the Purple Mansion. I'll need another four or five years to break Purple Mansion again."
"You should focus on your cultivation during this time. We will make preparations in five years and then come back to make further plans."
With the Old Clan Leader making his decision, everyone could only nod in agreement. This first attack on the Geng-Metal Earth Vein had come to an end as a complete failure.
After everyone left, Chen Nianzhi said helplessly, "In the end, we were still not strong enough. This treasure land was right in front of us, but we couldn't get it. It's such a pity."
"If I had the cultivation of the Purple Mansion Realm, I would have surely killed that monster today, instead of fleeing in such a sorry state."
"No need to be sad." The Old Clan Leader shook his head and chuckled, "You've only Foundation Establishment for less than forty years, yet you've already Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment and can even sever Purple Mansion with your sword. That's quite remarkable."
"It'll only be a few years, we can wait that long. When that time comes, I'll swallow my pride and borrow the Demon-Refining Truefire Formation Banner from the Yang Clan in Spirit Commandery. We'll definitely be able to kill them."
"..."
After leaving Darksteel Mountain, Chen Nianzhi composed herself and then flew back to Spirit Lake Isle on her sword.
As soon as he returned to Spirit Lake Isle, Ya Ya saw him from afar and ran over happily.
"Uncle, I want to eat peaches."
"Okay, I'll let you eat your fill then."
Looking at her innocent smile, Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly.
At this moment, he looked up at the Spirit Peach Tree and felt that this year's Spirit Peach seemed a little off.
The half-green Spirit Peach emitted an unusual fragrance, and surprisingly, they seemed to contain an astonishing Spiritual Qi.
"Huh."
Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and she seemed to have sensed the mystery of these Spirit Peach. The Spirit Peach from the past few years seemed to have an excessively strong Spiritual Qi, and their numbers were much fewer than in previous years.
He counted them carefully and then realized that there were only twelve Spirit Peach this year.
This is too abnormal. Even Tier 2 Low-grade Spirit Peach Tree can grow a number of Heavenly Gang in a year, and Tier 2 high-level Spirit Peach Tree can produce as many as one hundred and eight Spirit Peach.
"Could this be..."
Chen Nianzhi's face lit up with elation, and he quickly formed a guess in his mind. He suppressed his excitement and patiently waited for the result to come true.
Three months passed, and the autumn harvest season arrived. The twelve Spirit Peach finally ripened, and the Spirit Vein of Spirit Isle Lake unknowingly reached the third-grade lower level.
"Tier 3 Spirit Peach".
After the Spirit Peach ripened, Chen Nianzhi quickly picked Spirit Peach and showed a look of joy.
He descended the mountain at the age of fifteen and came to Spirit Lake Isle, where he used purple qi to promote this Spirit Peach Tree tree. Unbeknownst to him, forty-five years had already passed.
Forty-five years have passed like flowing water. The white-robed youth of yesteryear has become a renowned prodigy in the Chu Kingdom, and the Spirit Peach Tree Tier 3 Spirit Peach Tree.
The Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root has extraordinary uses; after the Spirit Peach Tree reaches the third level, it is no longer comparable to what it used to be.
From now on, the Spirit Peach Tree will bloom every three years, bear fruit every three years, and mature every three years. It will take nine years for twelve Tier 3 Spirit Peach to mature.
However, the Tier 3 Spirit Peach also has many wonderful uses. After consuming one of these Spirit Peach, it takes three years to fully refine it.
Once successfully refined, it can increase the cultivation of the Purple Mansion cultivator by ten years. If Foundation Establishment cultivator takes it, just one pill can increase their cultivation by thirty years.
"The Purple Mansion is within reach."
Holding the Spirit Peach, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but show her excitement.
With this Tier 3 Spirit Peach, he would be confident enough to break through to the Purple Mansion Realm in three years.
Without saying much, he consumed the Spirit Peach that very day and then began to cultivate in seclusion to refine its abundant spiritual energy.
"..."
Time flies like water, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
That's about it.
Chen Nianzhi muttered to himself, finally refining the spiritual power within the Spirit Peach after three years.
Although he only refined one Spirit Peach, the Spirit Peach's energy was so immense that it not only allowed him to break through the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, but also enabled him to cultivate his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Grand Completion.
Having reached this level, he has achieved perfect cultivation. To advance further, he must use his True Essence to penetrate the Purple Mansion Dao Meridian.
The Purple Mansion Dao Meridian is located deep in the spine, reaching the Purple Mansion between the eyebrows. It supports the spine and is therefore called the Purple Mansion Heavenly Vein of the Human Body.
To break through to the Purple Mansion Realm, a cultivator needs to use True Essence to flow from the dantian through the spine's meridians, reaching the Purple Mansion spiritual platform between the eyebrows, thus connecting the Purple Mansion and the dantian.
The Purple Mansion is also known as the Spirit Mansion realm, the Divine Palace realm, or the Immortal Platform realm. Therefore, some cultivators refer to the Purple Mansion Realm as the Spirit Mansion realm or the Immortal Platform realm.
It is the dwelling place of a cultivator's soul and the place where a cultivator's Divine Sense is nurtured. Once a cultivator breaks through to the Purple Mansion Realm, they can merge their Divine Sense and True Essence, transforming them into even more profound magical Law Power.
The mystery of Law Power far surpasses that of True Essence. While the difference in power when activating a third-tier Law Treasure is not immediately apparent, the power of the same Divine Ability is drastically different when activated by Law Power versus True Essence.
Even though Chen Nianzhi's True Essence is almost on par with that of the Purple Mansion, his use of Divine Ability poses little threat to the Purple Mansion cultivators.
