Disposition of the Spirit Veins

Noticing his surprise, Non-Night True Lord calmly nodded.

He looked at Chen Nianzhi and said calmly, "With your talent, your chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul are quite high. There's no need to be too reserved."

Thank you so much.

Hearing this, Chen Nianzhi politely bowed.

The two sat facing each other. Looking at the incense burner with its curling smoke, Non-Night True Lord finally asked a question.

"You've come here because of the Deng Clan?"

"Um."

Chen Nianzhi nodded and recounted the events of the Battle of Earth Lion Ridge to him.

After hearing this, Non-Night True Lord's eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp glint flashing in his pupils. "I've been stationed on Yan Lake Island for many years, spending most of my time in seclusion. I never imagined the Deng Clan would do such an absurd thing."

"They plotted against you, so they deserve this calamity."

Hearing him say that, Chen Nianzhi nodded. The time Nascent Soul True Lord spends in seclusion is often measured in tens or hundreds of years.

Although Non-Night True Lord resides on Yan Lake Island, a single period of seclusion is often equivalent to a lifetime for mortals. For cultivators below the Purple Mansion level, this time is enough for countless events to unfold.

If he tried to manage everything, Non-Night True Lord wouldn't be able to handle it all, unless he decided to give up on cultivation altogether.

However, now that the Ji Clan True Lord has approved of their destruction of the Deng Clan, the Deng Clan's fate is much easier to deal with.

At this moment, Non-Night True Lord sighed again and said, "The Essence-Draining Technique' affects the mind and character of cultivators, and can be considered as having entered the Evil Dao. It seems that Ji Continent will have to prohibit the practice of this art in the future."

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly. The Essence-Draining Technique originated from the Demonic Path, but it was not as vicious as the true Demonic Path, so it had always been in a gray area.

Therefore, although this matter is explicitly prohibited in the Eastern Wilderness, it is generally not worth the effort to manage it, as it is impossible to control.

However, now that this True Lord has spoken, it seems that the Ji Clan will also take charge of these matters within the Ji Continent from now on.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi smiled and said, "It seems the Ji Continent Cultivation World is truly blessed."

"It's nothing serious."

Ji Feiye waved his hand. Although he was considered young among Nascent Soul, he was still close to seven hundred years old. He had witnessed far more joys and sorrows than ordinary people could imagine.

For someone like him, the joys and sorrows of ordinary people last only a few decades. Even the most moving stories will eventually return to dust and be buried in the passage of time. How many people will remember them hundreds of years from now?

Moreover, he was well aware that, compared to those Bu Xiu and indestructible Immortal, he was essentially no different from mortals.

If one cannot break through to a higher realm, then the mere struggle of several thousand years is nothing more than a flower that blooms and then withers to Immortal.

The flower buds of last night have blossomed into full bloom this morning, displaying a vibrant color to show that they have been here.

Then the sun sets, the flowers wither and turn to dust, and all the cultivation and Law Power that one has acquired, which is derived from the creation of heaven and earth, will eventually return to heaven and earth. For the Eternal Life, it is ultimately just a passing visitor.

For him, the ultimate goal was simply to keep moving forward, eventually escaping the cycle of life and death, and becoming Immortal who coexists with heaven and earth.

"Thank you for your hospitality, True Lord. I shall take my leave now."

Chen Nianzhi drank a cup of tea, chatted with him for a while, and then got up to take her leave.

Non-Night True Lord nodded, stood up, and saw him off. As they parted, he said meaningfully, "You should cultivate diligently and make some preparations for the future. There may be a fierce battle within three Jiazi."

"A fierce battle?"

Upon hearing Chen Nianzhi was suddenly struck by a realization.

If the Ji Clan True Lord mentioned a fierce battle, it most likely meant they were going to recruit cultivators from the Ji Continent.

If the Ji Clan summoned them to fight, then their opponent must be a force at the Nascent Soul level. Furthermore, considering that the Ji Clan widely invited friends and invited powerful figures like Scarlet Dragon True Lord to the Ji Continent.

All of this could only mean one thing: they wanted to eliminate some of their enemies before the Ji clan leader broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, so that the Ji clan leader wouldn't be taken advantage of by his enemies when he broke through.

In this battle between top-tier Nascent Soul forces, even Nascent Soul True Lord could perish. If the war goes against them, Golden Core realm experts will also fall in droves. Who can remain unscathed?

With only three cycles of sixty years, it might not even be enough for him to break through to the late Golden Core stage. By then, he might not be able to take good care of the Chen Immortal Clan.

Thinking of this Chen Nianzhi felt a sense of urgency. He quickly bowed deeply and then said.

"Thank you for the reminder, True Lord. I will make the necessary arrangements."

"Well, it's good that you're prepared."

Ji Feiye nodded. The Ji Clan's plan this time was quite ambitious, and if it were leaked, it would probably alert their opponents. If it weren't for Jiang Linglong's sake, he probably wouldn't have told Chen Nianzhi this message.

After leaving Yan Lake, Chen Nianzhi flew to Deng Clan Island on her sword.

Not long after, Jiang Linglong finished the initial handling of the matter at Earth Lion Ridge, leaving Lin Qianshu and Xu Ganyang to temporarily oversee the situation. Then, she boarded the Azure Sun Treasure Ark and led a group of cultivators to the Yan Kingdom.

After the group had met, the Old Clan Leader asked, "What should be done with the two Spirit Mountain belonging to the Deng Clan?"

"Besides Spirit Mountain, there are over 300 million mortals on the Deng Clan's Six Star Island."

As he spoke, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

The most important assets left by the Deng Clan today are two Spirit Isle, a Water Vein, and a Spirit Fruit.

In addition, there are more than 300 million ordinary people to deal with, which are all very troublesome matters. If we let ordinary people fend for themselves, it would probably be against the natural order.

Chen Nianzhi pondered for a moment, then said, "Both Spirit Vein possess extraordinary Spiritual Qi. The one on the Deng Clan Island is a mid-grade Tier 4 Mid-Grade, while the one on Six Star Island is Tier 4 Low-Grade."

"Cultivating a Tier 4 Low-Grade Spirit Vein requires ten million Spirit Stone, while Tier 4 Mid-Grade Spirit Vein is worth twenty million spirit Spirit Stone. Fourth-Order Water Vein and Spirit Fruit are also worth at least ten million Spirit Stone."

"Throughout the entire Ji Continent, there are only a handful of immortal clans that can afford this amount of money. At least within the Yan Kingdom, no one can do it. If the price is discounted too much, it's actually not worthwhile."

Upon hearing this, the Old Clan Leader also abandoned the idea of selling it.

For immortals outside the Yan Kingdom, traveling thousands of miles to purchase this Spirit Vein would turn it into an enclave.

Unless they are willing to sell at a loss of more than 30%, it is estimated that no one will be willing to buy it, and the cultivation alliance of the Yan Kingdom can probably only afford one Spirit Vein at most.

Unless they are extremely lucky and encounter a wealthy rogue cultivator who lacks Spirit Vein and has no hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Rogue Cultivator, they probably won't be able to sell them.

Jiang Linglong pondered for a moment, then said, "Since we can't sell them, why don't we take over the business for now?"

"We can hire Xu Ganyang to oversee this place first, which will bring us considerable benefits from these Spirit Mountain Earth Vein."
