Refining Pills and Artifacts, Sorting Through the Spoils

"That's a good idea."

Chen Nianzhi nodded. This not only allowed them to occupy two Spirit Mountain and the Earth Vein, but also helped Xu Ganyang in the process.

Xu Ganyang had only recently broken through to the Golden Core realm stage, and now his Lineage was dirt poor, with not even enough Spiritual Qi for cultivation.

Although Earth Lion Ridge, Azure Sun Mountain, and Heavenly Ruins Lake are all Tier 4 Spirit Vein, Azure Sun Mountain and Heavenly Ruins Lake belong to Jiang Linglong and Chen Nianzhi. He didn't contribute much to Earth Lion Ridge and had no right to occupy it, not to mention that he owed the two of them a huge Karmic Retribution for breaking through to the Golden Core realm.

If he could come to the Yan Kingdom to guard the Tier 4 Spirit Mountain, he could not only solve the problem of Spiritual Qi for cultivation, but also receive a salary of 50,000 Spirit Stone every year. He would be overjoyed and would most likely not refuse.

As for the Heavenly Ruins Alliance, once it occupies Tier 4 Spirit Mountain in the Yan Kingdom, its influence will extend to the Heavenly Ruins Alliance Yan Kingdom, allowing a large number of Golden Core realm Purple Mansion Immortal Clan to join the Heavenly Ruins Alliance.

These forces will become the reserve force of the Heavenly Ruins Alliance, and may play a role in the future.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi said again, "I obtained a Void Gemstone from the Yuan Clan family. Should we set up Teleportation Array to connect this Spirit Isle with Azure Sun Mountain?"

Azure Sun Mountain is about 2.7 million miles away from this Spirit Isle. With the short-distance Teleportation Array Disk having a teleportation distance of 3 million miles, it is more than enough to barely connect the two.

Jiang Linglong's eyes lit up when she heard about the Void Gemstone, but she still shook her head. "The Yan Kingdom is located in the heart of the country, and with the Ji Clan True Lord in charge, it is much safer than the Chu Kingdom."

"We'll set up this Teleportation Array Disk at Earth Lion Ridge, first creating a triangular network between Heavenly Ruins Lake, Earth Lion Ridge, and Azure Sun Mountain."

"As for the two Spirit Isle on the Yan Kingdom, let Xu Ganyang take care of them for now, and we'll set them up again when we find the Void Gemstone."

Hearing her say that, the matter was settled.

The group skipped over that topic, and the Old Clan Leader asked again, "What should be done with the mortals of the Deng Clan?"

"This matter is simple." Jiang Linglong pondered calmly for a moment, then said, "I will have my disciples establish the Heavenly Ruins Sect here, cultivating cultivators from among mortals as the foundation for the sect's continuation."

"That's acceptable, but the mortals of the Deng Clan must change their names and surnames."

Chen Nianzhi smiled and said, "After all the Deng Clan cultivators disappeared, the mortals behind them were much easier to deal with."

If we simply make them change their surnames to dozens of different ones, then within a hundred years, after several generations when the elders have all died out, they will no longer remember the Deng Immortal Clan.

New cultivators are trained from the age of six, and with just a little guidance, they will all become disciples of the Heavenly Ruins Sect.

Jiang Linglong no longer accepts disciples. She lets her current disciples manage the affairs of the Heavenly Ruins Sect, and these people will become a useful force in her hands in the future.

The group quickly settled the Deng Clan's affairs and then left the Yan Kingdom.

The spoils from the previous battle at Earth Lion Ridge had not yet been digested, and Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong needed to refine pills and weapons to process some of the treasures they had acquired, so they naturally didn't have time to linger too long.

A month later, the two returned to the Chu Kingdom and informed Xu Ganyang of their mission to guard the Yan Kingdom.

Overjoyed to suddenly receive such a wonderful opportunity, Xu Ganyang accepted the task with great delight.

After the Golden Core realm cultivators guarding the Yan Kingdom are finalized, a large number of mid- to low-level cultivators will still be needed to revitalize the two Spirit Vein. However, the Chen Immortal Clan and Jiang Linglong's disciples and grand-disciples will naturally handle this matter, so the two of them don't need to worry about it.

Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong returned to Azure Sun Mountain, gathered resources to complete the crafting of the Teleportation Array Disk, and then set up the Teleportation Array at Earth Lion Ridge.

Only then did the two breathe a sigh of relief. With the Teleportation Array array successfully set up, the safety of the subsequent Spirit Vein would be greatly improved.

The two used the Teleportation Array to return directly to Azure Sun Mountain, and then arrived at the Tier 4 Earth Fire Chamber, preparing to digest some of the gains from this battle.

Their mission this time is quite demanding. In addition to several Tier 4 spirit pills, they also need to refine some valuable third-tier pills to make it more worthwhile.

"We're going to be quite busy this time."

Inside the Tier 4 Earth Fire Chamber, Jiang Linglong spoke with a smile.

Chen Nianzhi smiled too; this kind of busy work that brings rewards is the happiest kind of busy work.

He took out two pieces of Heavenly Star Jade and said, "Let's refine the Heavenly Star Jade into Tier 4 jade box and a jade bottle first, so we can use them to store Tier 4 spirit pills."

"Alright."

Jiang Linglong nodded, then took out a piece of Heavenly Star Jade and placed it into the Pill Furnace.

The Tier 4 Storage Jade Box was a special Law Treasure that was not difficult to refine. Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong refined it together, and it took them half a month to successfully refine the two treasures.

A jade box, with an internal space of no more than three feet, but capable of holding three Tier 4 spirit medicine.

Jiang Linglong took the Nirvana Fruit and put it inside. With this to store the medicinal effects, once the two of them made further progress in their Alchemy Art, they would be able to refine the legendary Nirvana Pill.

With this Nirvana Pill, their safety will be guaranteed in the future.

There is also a jade bottle that can hold ten Tier 4 spirit pills, but it can only hold the same type of spirit pill. It is a Higher Vehicle treasure for holding Golden-Core Formation Pill.

"With these two treasures, the efficacy of elixirs spirit medicine can be increased by three hundred years."

"Once I've refined the Golden-Core Formation Pill, there's no need to rush to sell it."

After successfully refining two storage treasures, Chen Nianzhi said joyfully.

The Golden-Core Formation Pill is extremely precious. According to Chen Nianzhi's estimate, after the Battle of Earth Lion Ridge, it would be very difficult to obtain Demon King Core for at least a hundred years.

The Chen Clan has quite a few Purple Mansion cultivators. It is estimated that Qing Hao, Qingwan, Nianchuan Xian Ling, Xian Yan, Xian Ye, Ya Ya, and others will all reach the Great Perfection of Purple Mansion within one or two Jiazi (60-70 years). Some of Jiang Linglong's disciples and grand-disciples will also have this need.

Whether they need it or not, it's better to prepare some in advance than to search for the Golden-Core Formation Pill in vain later and end up dying in loneliness.

They obtained three Demon King Core from this battle, and with the help of Jiang Linglong's Alchemy Art, they should be able to refine more than ten Golden-Core Formation Pill.

"Let's start the furnace."

Seeing that the jade box had been completed, the two of them decided not to delay any longer.

Jiang Linglong took out the inner core of the Golden Lion Mastiff, and then took out a Heart of Heaven Grass, and began to refine the Golden-Core Formation Pill.

This alchemy session was led by Jiang Linglong and Chen Nianzhi, with three or four Tier 3 Alchemist, including Su Mingwei and Chen Xianyan, assisting in the preparation of the hundreds of auxiliary ingredients.

After working tirelessly for over a month, the batch of Golden-Core Formation Pill was finally completed, yielding three Golden-Core Formation Pill.

Jiang Linglong put the pill away in the Heavenly Star Jade Bottle, shook her head and said, "There are only three Golden-Core Formation Pill this time. It seems my Alchemy Art still have some flaws."

"It's not a problem with your Alchemy Art, it's just that the inner core of this Golden Lion Mastiff lacks sufficient Qi of creation."

Chen Nianzhi shook her head and said calmly.
