Unexpectedly, such a shocking change occurred in less than half a month. The demonic calamity, unseen for over a hundred years, reappeared abroad, and the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan, with its centuries-old lineage, was reduced to dust overnight.

"Alright, you may get up."

Chen Nianzhi helped the group up with a flick of his sleeve, and said calmly, "If there is an opportunity in the future, once I break through to the Golden Core realm realm, I will naturally kill Yan Old Devil and flatten the Demon Cave with a single sword strike."

"Thank you, Ancestor, thank you very much, Ancestor."

The group knelt down again, with Yang Yanxing repeatedly kowtowing, tears streaming down his face, expressing his deepest gratitude.

Once the three had calmed down a bit, Chen Nianzhi said, "I have received your Yang Clan Daoist Grounds and have incurred some of your Karmic Retribution, so naturally I will not treat you unfairly."

"I will help you cultivate two Tier 2 high-grade Spirit Vein, allowing you to rebuild your Lineage, and I will also give your Yang Clan a one-time compensation of 50,000 Spirit Stone."

"Furthermore, if your Yang Clan faces the threat of extermination in the future, my Chen Clan's Purple Mansion can intervene on your behalf three times."

Cultivating a Tier 2 high-quality Spirit Vein requires tens of thousands of Spirit Stone, and two veins would require one hundred thousand Spirit Stone. In addition, there is a compensation of fifty thousand Spirit Stone. Logically speaking, this compensation is already quite generous.

After all, the Yang Clan no longer has the strength to seize the benefits they once had. Even if the Three Great Purple Mansion Immortal Clans don't take action, many Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan will openly or secretly vie for them.

Back then, weren't these Spirit Vein Earth Vein seized by the Yang Clan from the previous Purple Mansion Immortal Clan?

However, Chen Nianzhi pondered for a moment, then thought of the few Purple-Nurture Pill given to him by Patriarch Yang. Those pills had been of great help to him and the Old Clan Leader during the war of the Beast Turmoil.

"Now that Patriarch Yang has passed away, this favor should be returned to the Yang Clan."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Nianzhi still felt that the Yang Clan should be given a chance.

He then raised his hand, took out a golden decree, wrote a line of text on it, and handed it to Yang Yanxing.

"This is my decree; you should keep it safe."

"If anyone in your Yang Clan family ever reaches the Foundation Establishment Grand Completion, you can bring this item to my Chen Clan to exchange for a Five Elements Crystal."

The three members of the Yang Clan received the imperial edict and, overwhelmed with emotion, knelt down once more.

The Five Elements Crystal are so precious that even the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan itself has a great scarcity of them, so they would never be willing to give them away to others.

It takes hundreds of years of accumulation from the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan to barely purchase a single Five Elements Crystal, demonstrating its rarity. Although the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan has a relatively stable output, there are still far more monks than porridge to share.

A verbal promise can be reneged on, but this Purple Mansion cultivator personally signed the decree, showing that Chen Nianzhi truly valued their past relationship and had done more than enough for them.

"..."

After the three left with gratitude, Chen Nianzhi stayed in the Spirit Pool with the Old Clan Leader.

The Old Clan Leader looked at the Spirit Pool and the Earth Vein, with a mixture of joy and worry, and said, "I finally managed to accumulate some Spirit Stone, hoping to set up the Seven-Star Demon-Subduing Formation Array in Peaceful Sun City, but it looks like it will be delayed for several more years."

"It's alright. Although the expenses are a bit high right now, it's worthwhile in the long run."

Chen Nianzhi said with a smile, "After occupying the Spirit Vein of Spirit Source Mountain and the Subterranean Fire Vein, the Lineage's profits will increase significantly."

The Subterranean Fire Vein alone produce first and second-tier materials worth as much as five thousand Spirit Stone each year.

In addition, the Subterranean Fire Vein of Spirit Source Mountain is the only Fire Vein in the Border Province. The dozens of Earthfire Chamber can be rented out, which can bring the Lineage three thousand Spirit Stone in tax revenue every year.

"An annual income of eight thousand Spirit Stone is not bad."

The Old Clan Leader nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "However, the Spirit Field of Spirit Source Mountain have been completely destroyed. It will probably take hundreds of years to replant spirit medicine, and it will be difficult for the Chen Clan to benefit in the short term."

"Having occupied so many Spirit Field, the Lineage now lacks manpower and will likely find it difficult to develop this Spirit Vein."

"It's really annoying that the Spirit Field was destroyed." Chen Nianzhi frowned, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "I have a plan that might be able to revitalize this Spirit Vein."

"We can completely develop Spirit Source Mountain into a series of Spirit Spring caves and rent them out to Rogue Cultivator and cultivators from various immortal clans."

Hearing him say that, Chen Changxuan's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.

After the Beast Turmoil, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in Border Province increased significantly. In addition, with the cultivators who migrated from Yang Province, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in Border Province now exceeds 180.

This number is nearly double that of sixty years ago, and with the increase in population Spirit Vein of the Border Province are severely depleted.

If Spirit Source Mountain were vacated at this time and rented out to Foundation Establishment cultivators and Rogue Cultivator from the Border Province, it is estimated that many people would be willing to come and rent the Spirit Spring Cave Mansion for a long period of time.

Moreover, once there are enough cultivators, a cultivation Marketplace can be established on Spirit Source Mountain.

Spirit Commandery originally had a cultivation Marketplace, Spirit Sun Market, which was jointly managed by the Yang Clan and the eight Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan, with the Yang Clan once holding the majority share.

However, now that the Yang Clan has fallen, Spirit Sun Market will naturally decline drastically without Yang Clan resources.

If nothing unexpected had happened, most of the customers would have been drawn away by Yuyang Market Fengyang Market.

If the Chen Clan were to establish a Marketplace in Spirit Source Mountain, they could effectively retain all the customers from Spirit Commandery in Spirit Source Mountain.

"That's a good idea."

After discussing it for a long time, the two decided to help according to this plan, and to build a cultivation Marketplace in Spirit Source Mountain in the future, which would be named Spirit Source Market.

Having confirmed the plan's merits, the Old Clan Leader frowned again. "But who should be sent to guard this place?"

"Guard."

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly. Spirit Source Mountain has Third-Order Spirit Vein and Tier 3 Mid-grade Earth Vein. In the future, a cultivation Marketplace will also be established there.

Once the workshop is fully established, the combined benefits from the three locations will likely bring the Chen Clan over 20,000 Spirit Stone annually.

The interests involved are too vast and complex, so it is necessary to dispatch cultivators from the Purple Mansion realm to guard it.

However, the Chen Clan currently only has two Purple Mansion cultivators. After Qingyuan Mountain advances in two years, the Chen Clan will have four Third-Order Spirit Vein in Yu Commandery.

Therefore, it is necessary for someone to guard the area year-round. The Old Clan Leader needs to guard Peaceful Sun City and look after Yu Commandery, so he cannot leave for a long time. Chen Nianzhi is also not suitable to be confined to one place for a long time.

"Alas, the interests that my Chen Clan now possess are far too enormous."

"With just the two of us, we still don't have enough manpower."

The Old Clan Leader suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The Chen Clan's current interests were too great, exceeding those of most of the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan.

This time, the Chen Clan has occupied a brand new Spirit Vein and obtained a Tier 3 Mid-grade Subterranean Fire Vein. From now on, they will not only be able to obtain a Blazing Fire Crystal every sixty years, but they can also be self-sufficient in second- and third-tier fire-attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Upon closer examination, after occupying this Earth Vein, the Chen Clan will exclusively own the Geng-Metal Earth Vein and the Subterranean Fire Vein, as well as a 25% stake in the Ji-Earth Vein and the Xin-Metal Earth Vein.
