Taking Stock of the Spoils

"Three pieces of Geng-Metal Crystal, and four pieces of third-tier Treasure Gold."

"This Geng-Metal Earth Vein truly lives up to its reputation." The Old Clan Leader looked at these treasures and couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "With this Geng-Metal Earth Vein, my Chen Clan is destined for great prosperity!"

Chen Nianzhi also looked at the treasures in front of her with surprise and delight, and couldn't help but reveal her joy.

Of the seven third-tier treasures, the Geng-Metal Crystal needs no introduction; the remaining four third-tier Treasure Gold are all precious third-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

The four Treasure Gold pieces are Purple-Bearing Azure Gold, Great White Geng Metal, Ren-Water Treasure Gold, and an Formless Treasure Gold.

These treasures are all extremely valuable; the Great White Geng Metal and Ren-Water Treasure Gold are each worth around 30,000 Spirit Stone.

The Purple-Bearing Azure Gold is worth more than 50,000 Spirit Stone. This item contains the three attributes of gold, fire, and wood, and is an extremely rare and precious Treasure Gold that can be used to refine Tier 3 Mid-grade Law Treasure.

The Formless Treasure Gold is the rarest of all. This gold is transparent and contains Dao patterns that conceal its presence. If one does not observe carefully, one cannot detect its existence at all. It is a Higher Vehicle Treasure Gold for forging the ' Formless Immortal Sword '.

Legend has it that the Clan Master of the Ji Clan clan, the hegemon of the six kingdoms, used high-grade Formless Treasure Gold as the main material to forge the Tier 5 immortal sword ' Sumeru Formless Sword ', and even used it to ambush and kill a Nascent Soul Demon Emperor.

Although this Formless Treasure Gold in front of us is not of high grade, if it is refined into a third-tier immortal sword, it will become a trump card that could potentially kill even Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivator.

"Old Granduncle, you have a good chance of breaking through to the Purple Mansion."

Chen Nianzhi took the Geng-Metal Crystal and handed it to the Old Clan Leader.

The Old Clan Leader also took it with some excitement. He was already 50-60% confident in breaking through to the Purple Mansion, and now with the Geng-Metal Crystal in hand, he was 70-80% confident.

"..."

After receiving the treasures nurtured in the Earth Vein spring, the two did not leave immediately, but instead waited in the Earth Vein for three days.

Three days later, the Chen Clan family members finished taking inventory of the resources in the Earth Vein and gathered at the core of the Earth Vein for a meeting.

Chen Qinghao looked at Chen Nianzhi and the Old Clan Leader at the head of the table, and handed over an account book with a big smile.

"We have completed the inventory of the resources within the Earth Vein; this is the record we have kept."

"Very nice."

The Old Clan Leader took it, glanced at it, and then handed it to Chen Nianzhi.

Chen Nianzhi flipped through the account books, a look of delight appearing on her face.

The spoils seized this time were plentiful, the most precious of which was naturally the Sword Sword-Washing Pool. The spiritual liquid in the Sword-Washing Pool had accumulated for many years and was the most essential part of the Earth Vein, making its value almost immeasurable.

Secondly, there are three Geng-Metal Crystal and four Treasure Gold, which represent the accumulated resources of the Geng-Metal Earth Vein over many years, enough to greatly enhance the Chen Clan's wealth.

With this gain, the clan's cultivators will have more opportunities to break through to the Purple Mansion in the future. Perhaps it can even add one or two Purple Mansion cultivators to the Lineage. It can also serve as a resource for Chen Nianzhi and the Old Clan Leader after they break through to the Purple Mansion.

Moreover, after the treasures nurtured in the Geng-Metal Earth Vein spring are taken away, new Geng-Metal Crystal and third-order Treasure Gold will be nurtured in the future.

One Geng-Metal Crystal is conceived every sixty years. Once conceived, even if there is no suitable cultivator to use it, it can be exchanged with other Purple Mansion cultivators for treasures such as the Blazing Fire Crystal at the Purple Palace Barter Assembly.

A third-tier Treasure Gold can be produced every thirty or forty years, and over the years, it can accumulate a considerable foundation for the Lineage.

Besides the third-tier treasures, the mineral veins in the Earth Vein, after being constantly tempered by the Geng-Metal Essence Qi, have accumulated a considerable amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

The group plundered the resources in the Earth Vein and found more than a hundred sets of various Tier 2 Treasure Gold, which alone were worth more than 100,000 Spirit Stone.

There are seven Tier 1 spirit mines, all of which are quite productive. Each year, the mines produce enough to refine hundreds of Tier 1 Law Artifact.

There are also two Tier 2 mineral veins: one is the Tier 2 Great White Geng-Metal Ore Vein, and the other is the Blue-Pattern Darksteel Ore Vein.

Both of these mines are small-scale, producing only about three portions of heavenly materials and earthly treasures each year, enough to forge three Tier 2 Magical Tool.

After reviewing the documents, Chen Nianzhi said with a smile, "With these seven Tier 1 spirit mines and two Tier 2 veins, we can practically monopolize the low-level Law Artifact market with metal attributes in the Border Province."

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled.

Tier 1 Law Artifact have a short lifespan, generally lasting no more than sixty years before they break down.

Tier 2 Magical Tool have a much longer lifespan, but after one or two hundred years of use, the array patterns and materials will show severe wear and tear, and their power may decrease to the level of a near- Tier 2 artifact.

This is without experiencing major battles. If there are frequent battles, it will accelerate the lifespan of Law Treasure, since battles can also damage Law Artifact.

During this attack on the Geng-Metal Earth Vein, several of the Tier 2 Law Treasure of the clan's Foundation Establishment elders were destroyed by the Purple Mansion Demon Spirit, and many others were severely damaged.

Beast Turmoil a few years ago, more than 30% to 40% of the low-level Law Artifact of the cultivators in Yu Commandery were destroyed.

Third-tier Law Treasure treasures have a much longer lifespan, often starting at several hundred years. If the materials can withstand the test of time, their lifespan will be even longer.

For example, the Great Geng Immortal Sword is a high-grade Tier 3 High-grade sword made of extremely tough and Higher Vehicle third-tier Treasure Gold metal. Even after being properly preserved for a thousand years, its power remains undiminished.

If carefully nurtured, this immortal sword will have a lifespan of at least three to five hundred years, and may even be able to be forged into some third-tier Treasure Gold by then.

Therefore, the business of low-level Law Artifact is the easiest to do because the demand is huge. With these nine mines in hand, not only can the Lineage cultivate some powerful Artifact Refiner, but they can also earn substantial profits.

According to Chen Qinghao's estimate, the Treasure Gold produced by these mines each year, once refined into Law Treasure, would bring Bu Fan profits to the Chen Clan, earning the Lineage seven thousand Spirit Stone annually.

Moreover, with these Tier 2- and third-tier Treasure Gold as an attraction, Yuyang Market will definitely attract a large number of cultivators in the future, and the tax revenue that the Chen Clan can receive each year will also increase significantly.

"This harvest has indeed been quite substantial."

The Old Clan Leader stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "In a few days, I will go into seclusion to attempt to break through to the Purple Mansion."

"After the breakthrough, I will rearrange the grand formations for Darksteel Mountain and several Spirit Vein of the Lineage."

"The Spirit Vein of Darksteel Mountain need to be upgraded. These treasures can be exchanged for some Spirit Stone, and we can also accumulate some Spirit Stone."

Everyone nodded in agreement; the Lineage's status had changed dramatically after breaking through to the Purple Mansion.

Peaceful Sun City, Qingyuan Mountain, Spirit Isle Lake Darksteel Mountain, where the Geng-Metal Earth Vein is located, are all vital to the Lineage, and all of these need to be protected by Tier 3 Formation.

Especially in Peaceful Sun City, after the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan, the number of mortals in the Chen Clan will increase to three million. This will attract the attention of the Purple Mansion Devil Cultivator, and Tier 3 Formation and Purple Mansion cultivators will be needed to ensure the safety of the city.
