The fourth and fifth breaths were given to the Enlightenment Tea Tree and the Spirit Apricot Ancient Tree respectively, and the sixth breath was given to the Ren-Water Azure Lotus Platform. Now, this breath of Hongmeng Purple Qi is the last breath in his body.

As the Hongmeng Purple Qi merged into the treasure mirror, the mirror emitted a soft hum and instantly flew out of the Artifact Refining Cauldron.

Chen Nianzhi absorbed it into his dantian and, after sensing it briefly, discovered that the mirror possessed two Divine Ability.

The first Divine Ability is naturally the Primal Magnetism Treasure Radiance. This Primal Magnetism Treasure Radiance is the nemesis of metal-attribute Divine Ability Law Treasure. Even Law Treasure treasures and supernatural Divine Ability of a higher realm can be easily subdued by it.

It can even have a significant impact on Law Treasure two realms higher, greatly reducing their power.

Chen Nianzhi estimated that if this treasure mirror reached the Purple Mansion Late Stage, it could probably lock up Tier 4 Flying Sword Magic Treasure with a metal attribute.

Besides this divine Divine Ability, the mirror also spontaneously generated another Divine Ability Divine Ability, which can release a Yin-Yang Primal Magnetism Divine Radiance with annihilation properties, capable of directly decomposing and annihilating powerful enemies into ashes. It is a first-class offensive Divine Ability.

"This second Divine Ability contains the power of Yin-Yang Magnetism, and can even disintegrate and tear apart opponents, hence it is called ' Yin-Yang Primal Magnetism Annihilation Divine Radiance '."

"This mirror is the ' Yin-Yang Primal Magnetism Treasure Mirror,' let's just call it the Primal Magnetism Treasure Mirror for short."

Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly. The Primal Magnetism Treasure Mirror had an extra Divine Ability than he had expected, giving him another means of attack.

However, although the ' Yin-Yang Primal Magnetism Annihilation Divine Radiance ' is extremely powerful, it is ultimately an auxiliary Law Treasure. Each time it is activated, it takes three years to accumulate enough power, so it can only be used as a last resort.

After successfully refining the Law Treasure, Chen Nianzhi received an unexpected surprise and emerged from her Seclusion Chamber in high spirits.

After leaving the Seclusion Chamber, he accidentally discovered that, at some point, several peach trees had undergone an advancement in their cultivation level.

He carefully inspected the trees and discovered that a total of nine peach trees had been promoted to Spirit Peach Tree, reaching the Tier 1 Low-grade.

Although these Spirit Peach Tree are not Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root, and do not possess the extraordinary mysteries of the Spirit Peach Mother Tree, they are still genuine Spirit Tree, and the Spirit Fruit they bear can enhance the cultivation of Qi Refining Cultivator.

Chen Nianzhi studied the Peach Grove for a moment and roughly understood the reason why the nine peach trees had advanced.

"The Spirit Peach Tree have advanced to the third tier, and nine of them have also received some blessings from the Mother Tree, advancing to the Tier 1 Low-grade Spirit Tree."

"Unless the Spirit Peach Tree advances to the Tier 4, it can only grow a maximum of nine Spirit Tree, and its growth is as slow as that of ordinary Spirit Tree, it may not be able to advance to the Tier 2 even after several hundred years."

He frowned, then shook his head and chuckled, "Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root are incredibly hard to find. Even Tier 1 Low-grade Spirit Tree is considered a decent treasure."

"With these nine Tier 1 Low-grade Spirit Tree, the Lineage Lineage have another specialty product, which is quite a good harvest."

With that thought in mind, he stopped caring about those low-level Spirit Peach Tree.

"..."

In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

The Qingyuan Mountain was bustling with activity that day. The entire Chen Clan was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the Chen Clan family cultivators were all smiles.

Many renowned Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Border Province arrived here, each with a reserved expression, revealing envy and longing.

The Chen Immortal Clan's advancement to the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan, and the fact that two Purple Mansion cultivators emerged from them in such a short time, has shaken the entire Border Province.

Even the other eight states of the Chu Kingdom had heard of it, knowing that the Chen Immortal Clan had risen to prominence and taken center stage in the Chu Kingdom.

Chen Qinghao stood in front of the gate of Qingyuan Mountain, beaming as he beckoned guests. After sending a Foundation Establishment cultivator up, he casually asked someone nearby.

"Have you written everything down?"

"I've got it."

Chen Nianfu nodded, then whispered, "All thirty-one Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan from Border Province have arrived, and the gifts from the thirteen Immortal Clans from Yu Commandery are quite generous, probably no less than a thousand Spirit Stone."

"Among them, the Mu Meng Clan Mu Clan gave the most generous gifts."

"Hmm." Chen Qinghao's expression remained unchanged, but he added, "Remember this carefully, so you don't make a mistake next time you return the gift."

"Know."

After she nodded, Chen Qinghao said, "Judging by the time, the Three Great Purple Mansion Immortal Clans should be arriving soon. Go and tell the rear to make preparations."

"..."

Meanwhile, on the secluded back mountain of Qingyuan Mountain, inside a simple courtyard room.

Chen Nianzhi looked at the figure on the bed, couldn't help but hold his hand, and said with a pale face.

"Uncle Qingxu..."

On the bed, Chen Qingxu's old face was as pale as paper, clearly on his deathbed.

In his youth, this Great Elder guarded Peaceful Sun City for the Lineage for many years. In recent decades, he has stayed on Qingyuan Mountain to enlighten the Chen Clan disciples. It can be said that he has devoted himself to the Lineage.

Unbeknownst to him, several decades had passed, and he had reached the age of one hundred and twenty.

At this moment, Chen Qingxu had a smile on his lips, his expression kind and peaceful. He smiled and touched Chen Nianzhi's hand, speaking calmly.

"Xiao Nianzhi, you're sixty years old in the blink of an eye."

"I still remember the year you came to Peaceful Sun City and worked with me to completely eradicate the evil scourge from our Lineage. I never imagined that more than forty years would have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Uncle Qingxu, where is Spirit Apricot?"

Chen Nianzhi's eyes were slightly red, and her fingers trembled slightly.

Since the Spirit Apricot Ancient Tree advanced to the next level, it produced one batch of Spirit Apricot in the first year, and then ripened once every three years thereafter. So far, it has produced three rounds of Spirit Apricot, totaling nine Tier 2 Spirit Apricot.

He left three of these Spirit Apricot for Chen Qingxu and three for Chen Qinghe. Logically, Chen Qingxu should have lived for at least another thirty years, so how did he end up on his deathbed?

"Read it."

Chen Qingxu held Chen Nianzhi's hand and calmly shook his head. "For me, even if I lived another thirty years, it would mean nothing."

"Give it to someone who needs it more; perhaps with the accumulation of many more years of lifespan, they can successfully Foundation Establishment?"

Chen Nianzhi then realized that he had given the Spirit Apricot to several younger members of the clan who were under seventy years old and belonged to the Nian Generation generation. Among the thirteen Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Lineage, Chen Nianzhen was able to achieve Foundation Establishment at the age of sixty-one, which was all thanks to a Spirit Apricot from Chen Qingxu.

However, Chen Nianzhi was far away in the Yan Kingdom at the time and did not know the exact time Chen Nianzhen achieved Foundation Establishment.

The Great Elder smiled, a hint of relief in his expression. "Compared to Uncle Changyan, compared to Qing Meng and Qinghe, I have been far more fortunate in my life."

"They've been waiting down there for far too long. This time, I'll go underground to tell them the news of our Lineage's ascension to the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan, and to inform my ancestors of the Chen Clan."

"Listen, look, how lively it is outside!"

"Even the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan had to come to my Chen Clan with great courtesy to offer their congratulations; this is a scene I once dreamed of."

"Being able to witness this day is perhaps the greatest fortune I can have..."

His voice gradually faded, and before anyone knew it, he was silent.

"Father."

Beside him, the centenarian Chen Nianyang knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly with tears streaming down his face.

"Uncle Qingxu"

Chen Nianzhi held the Great Elder's hand, feeling his throat dry and his hand trembling slightly, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside him.

I fear the fading glory of heroes, and the twilight of the proud.

No matter how exceptionally talented he was, he was ultimately powerless before the cycle of life and death.

He gripped Chen Qingxu's hand tightly, trying to hold onto his soul, but he still couldn't change anything.
