Xu Ganyang Borrows a Treasure

The Lightning Tribulation struck down with a deafening roar, instantly causing the light of the Earth-Marsh Five-Smoke Gauze to tremble wildly. Although it did not penetrate the Luo, it did damage its radiance.

Judging from its injuries, it will probably need twenty years of recuperation to fully recover its power.

Fortunately, this treasure was, after all, Tier 4 Magical Treasure. Although it was damaged, it ultimately managed to block the final Lightning Tribulation.

As the tribulation clouds dissipated, drops of Thunder Tribulation Liquid fell, and Lin Qianshu passed the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation, stabilizing her Golden Core realm realm.

"Congratulations, Elder Lin."

Seeing that Lin Qianshu survived the Lightning Tribulation, many cultivators present immediately offered their congratulations.

Lin Qianshu descended from the void, handed the Earth-Marsh Five-Smoke Gauze to Jiang Linglong, and said with some reluctance.

"This treasure was damaged by the Lightning Tribulation, which will likely shorten its lifespan."

"It's alright. You've survived the Lightning Tribulation, so a Tier 4 Magical Treasure is nothing to you."

Jiang Linglong smiled slightly. Compared to her disciple breaking through to the Golden Core realm, a Tier 4 Magical Treasure was nothing.

After Lin Qianshu broke through to the Golden Core realm, Heavenly Ruins Lake held a three-day banquet, inviting thousands of guests.

When the banquet ended, Xu Ganyang found Chen Nianzhi and the Old Clan Leader.

Upon seeing Chen Nianzhi and the Old Clan Leader, he hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Fellow Daoists, I have come today to ask you for a favor."

"Oh."

Chen Nianzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she roughly guessed what Xu Ganyang was thinking.

As expected, Xu Ganyang looked distressed and said with a bitter expression.

"To be honest, I plan to attempt to break through to the Golden Core realm realm again within three years, and I now believe I have a 50% chance of success."

"Over the years, my Xu Clan has collected four clan-protecting treasures, and I thought I had a good chance of surviving the Lightning Tribulation. But after witnessing Fairy Lin's Lightning Tribulation today, I realize that if I rashly attempt to undergo the tribulation, there is probably at least a 60-70% chance of me meeting with disaster."

Xu Ganyang spoke, a look of lingering fear crossed his face.

It turned out that he saw the danger of the Lightning Tribulation, which was related to life and death, so he shamelessly asked to borrow the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace.

He knew in his heart that Jiang Linglong had sold a lot of Law Treasure recently. The Ink-Snow Immortal Sword was Lin Qianshu's signature immortal sword, and now the Earth-Marsh Five-Smoke Gauze had also been severely damaged.

Even if Jiang Linglong had a spare Law Treasure Law Treasure to lend him, his relationship with Jiang Linglong wasn't that close.

Over the years, the Xu Clan has made a fortune by following Jiang Linglong. They have obtained four Golden-Core Formation Pill cultivators, which is a once-in-a-century fortuitous opportunity. It would be rather rude of them to ask to borrow Tier 4 Magical Treasure.

Chen Nianzhi also possesses several Tier 4 Magical Treasure. While it's impossible for her to lend out her Life-bound Magical Treasure, there's a possibility that she might be able to lend out the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace.

In addition, the two families had a fairly good relationship over the years, so Xu Ganyang shamelessly approached the two of them.

He glanced at Chen Nianzhi and the Old Clan Leader, his face slightly flushed, and said, "To be honest, I've come here to borrow the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace."

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, fellow Daoist."

Chen Nianzhi sat upright to the side, calmly taking a sip of tea.

He glanced at the Old Clan Leader, then said, "My Old Granduncle will attempt to break through to the Golden Core realm in thirty years, and he'll need Tier 4 Magical Treasure to undergo the tribulation then."

"If we lend it out now and cause serious injury, what will my Old Granduncle use to survive the Lightning Tribulation thirty years from now?"

"This--"

Xu Ganyang was speechless, but since it was a matter of life and death, he still wanted to struggle and finally spoke.

"I can assure you, if you lend me the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace, I will risk destroying all my clan's most precious treasures, and at most, I can only use it to block the last two Lightning Tribulation."

"In this way, the damage to the Law Treasure won't be too severe, and it will definitely be able to recover its power within thirty years through gentle care."

Hearing him say that, the Old Clan Leader glanced at Chen Nianzhi.

Seeing that the Old Clan Leader was somewhat tempted, Xu Ganyang quickly continued, "Moreover, if you lend us this item, then you can have my spoils when we attack Earth Lion Ridge."

"From now on, my Xu Clan will follow the lead of your Chen Clan."

Hearing him say that, Chen Nianzhi nodded.

Although he was not particularly concerned about Xu Ganyang's gains given his wealth, the two had a good relationship for many years.

Xu Ganyang's lifespan is less than forty years. It would be better to help him now, within our means, than to witness his old friend's passing away later.

"I can agree to this, but you must keep your promise and not allow the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace to suffer serious damage."

"Let me make this clear from the start: if this affects my uncle's future Lightning Tribulation, our two families will likely have to break off all relations."

As Chen Nianzhi spoke, a serious expression appeared on her face.

Xu Ganyang was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, making a vow. That very day, he took the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace back to the Xu Clan for seclusion.

After everyone at the banquet had left, Chen Nianzhi did not leave immediately, but stayed at Heavenly Ruins Lake to accompany Jiang Linglong.

Three months later, his Law Power reached perfection, and he touched the threshold of the Ninth Purple Mansion Layer. With the help of the Spiritual Qi of Heavenly Ruins Lake, he broke through to the Ninth Purple Mansion Layer.

"..."

Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

A year later, Ancestor Fang Qingmei attempted to break through to the Golden Core realm realm for the second time. She had made ample preparations, but unfortunately, due to insufficient lifespan and a slight deficiency in her Essence Blood, she ultimately failed.

This defeat was a huge blow to the Patriarch Fang. Her lifespan is less than twenty years, and her chances of breaking through to the Golden Core realm in the future are probably slim.

She had already taken a Longevity Pill. Over the years, the Fang Clan Lineage had exhausted their centuries-old wealth and incurred a huge debt in order to help him purchase the Golden-Core Formation Pill.

In the future, I'm afraid I won't even be able to afford Longevity Pill. Even if I manage to buy two Longevity Pill pills to extend my life by another sixty years, I still won't be able to afford the Golden-Core Formation Pill.

Without Golden-Core Formation Pill Core, a failed attempt to break through to the Golden Core realm would require a period of sixty years of nurturing, meaning she would only have one chance to attempt Golden Core realm at most.

In addition, with the decline of Qi and Blood, and the deficiency of the physical body among the three treasures of essence, Qi, and spirit, the hope of breaking through to the Golden Core realm is probably less than 30%, so it can be said that the hope is not great.

Upon receiving this news, Chen Nianzhi somewhat melancholic. Although he wasn't close to Patriarch Fang, he still felt a pang of sadness at the difficulty of cultivation.

This person obtained two Golden-Core Formation Pill in succession. Compared to many Purple Mansion cultivators who never obtain Golden-Core Formation Pill in their entire lives, her fortuitous opportunity were far better than those of most cultivators.

Even so, she still failed to break through to the Golden Core realm realm, and her hopes for the future are not very high.

Two years later, news came from the Xu Clan, and this time it was finally good news.

Xu Ganyang still has forty years of lifespan remaining. His Qi and Blood is still at its peak. After taking the Golden-Core Formation Pill, he barely broke through to the Golden Core realm realm and then used the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace to survive the Lightning Tribulation.

It is said that in order to survive the Lightning Tribulation, Xu Ganyang destroyed four of his clan's most treasured artifacts, and finally used the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace to block the last two Lightning Tribulation.

After blocking the Lightning Tribulation, the Scarlet Sun Void-Burning Furnace was slightly damaged and will need nearly thirty years of nurturing to recover.

Xu Ganyang personally escorted him back to the Chen Clan, and naturally expressed his deepest gratitude.
