Qin Tianmu
Chen Nianzhi actually had quite a bit of confidence in Ya Ya.
After all, she possessed Variant Spirit Root and had already gone through the Self-Foundation Establishment and overcoming the Fleshly Body Ordeal. It could be said that she had already completed two of the three steps to forging High-grade Golden Core.
Although Ya Ya only possesses the Ice-Soul Cold Light Sword and her Law Power is not as refined as Chen Xianye's, her chances of breaking through to the Purple Mansion without external aids are still greater than those of an ordinary person.
Chen Nianzhi estimated that as long as Ya Ya could maintain her confidence, she would be able to break through to the Golden Core realm realm within two or three attempts, if things went smoothly.
With the help of the Rejuvenation Calamity-Dispelling Pill, her lifespan is sufficient for her to try several more times.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi said, "In a few years, Uncle Qing Hao and Xian Ye will also begin their attempts to break through to the Core Formation. We should also refine the Earth Lion Demon King's inner core into Golden-Core Formation Pill."
"Well, the Exchange Fair in the Ji Continent is still six months away, let's make some preparations."
Jiang Linglong nodded. Considering that the items they needed to purchase were quite expensive, the two began to allocate resources.
Chen Nianzhi personally went to the clan treasury and took out the Spirit Stone, several Tier 4 spirit medicine, and several Fourth-order Heavenly Material that had been accumulated over the years.
After packing the supplies, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong set off together, heading to the Chu Kingdom.
Yan Ziji also set off, her cultivation having advanced another step, reaching the Eighth Golden Core Layer.
Chen Nianzhi understood that Yan Ziji was participating in the Exchange Fair to purchase a Tier 4 High-Grade Law Treasure in preparation for breaking through to the Nascent Soul.
She was, after all, a cultivator with a single Spirit Root. Although she had the Purple Abyss Furnace to help her, she only had one natal Life-bound Magical Treasure. In case of unforeseen circumstances, she needed to make more preparations.
The three moved extremely fast, arriving at Ji Continent Market in just twenty days.
Upon arriving at Ji Continent Market again after many years, Chen Nianzhi found that the Ji Continent Market's grandeur had only grown stronger.
When the Beast Turmoil had just ended more than seventy years ago, Chen Nianzhi came to participate in the Ji Continent Exchange Fair for the first time. At that time, he had not yet broken through to the Golden Core realm and did not feel much pressure.
Now, nearly eighty years have passed, and Chen Nianzhi has been in the Golden Core realm for sixty years. On the contrary, he feels that Ji Continent Market is becoming more and more unfathomable.
In Chen Nianzhi's eyes at this moment, this Ji Continent Market was like a True Dragon lying dormant, seemingly waiting for the opportunity to take flight.
Moreover, there were more Golden Core realm cultivators in Ji Continent Market, most of whom were Golden Core realm experts who had not been seen in previous years, and they were obviously from outside the Ji Continent.
"There are some unfamiliar faces at Ji Continent Market this time."
"It seems that the Ji Clan has been preparing for this all these years, waiting for the right moment to make their move."
Chen Nianzhi transmitted his voice to Jiang Linglong, saying that after being reminded by True Monarch Fei Ye, he understood that the Ji Clan Immortal Clan must eliminate their enemies in advance to pave the way for the Ji Clan Chief to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Jiang Linglong nodded. This matter was still top secret, and it was not appropriate to discuss it further.
The group arrived relatively early, and since the Exchange Fair was still more than a month away, they decided to browse the Marketplace stalls in Ji Continent Market.
Chen Nianzhi had originally hoped to find a bargain, but that was by no means an easy task.
There are many talented and extraordinary people in this world. Even if some divine objects are kept hidden, they are hard to escape the eyes of high-level cultivators. If there are really good things on the street stalls, they will probably have been bought by someone long ago.
Chen Nianzhi spent two days browsing around but didn't buy any high-level treasures. However, she did buy some Tier 3 Spirit Herb and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which was a small success.
Before they knew it, the day of the Exchange Fair arrived, and the three of them entered Ji Continent Pavilion together.
Upon entering the venue of the Exchange Fair, Chen Nianzhi looked around and noticed that the number of Exchange Fair had increased significantly compared to more than seventy years ago.
This time, there are more than fifty Golden Core realm cultivators participating, which is significantly more than in the past.
The reason for such a large increase in numbers is not only because some people come from other continents, but also because four hundred years have passed since the last Demon Abyss Cataclysm, and a new generation of cultivators in the Ji Continent has gradually grown up.
For example, in the Chu Kingdom alone, five Golden Core realm have emerged in the past hundred years Chen Nianzhi, Lin Qianshu, Chen Changxuan Xu Ganyang, and the Hibiscus Fairy.
While this is related to the Chu Kingdom's series of great victories, it is undeniable that the other major states also add three or four Golden Core realm cultivators on average every hundred years.
Chen Nianzhi looked around and noticed that some of the faces had changed compared to back then.
Back then, Skystar Zi, Lingxu Fairy, and Wei Tianxiong, all of whom had reached the Golden Core Grand Completion, did not come.
Of the three, Skystar Zi is undoubtedly making final preparations for breaking through to the Nascent Soul.
Wei Tianxiong, on the other hand, failed to break through to the Nascent Soul. He sacrificed his physical body to break through to the Nascent Soul, and although he reached the Pseudo-Nascent Soul realm, his physical body was already exhausted.
He is currently using the Nirvana Pill to reshape his physical body. It seems that even if he reshapes his physical body, he will probably only have one more chance to break through to the Nascent Soul, with a success rate of no more than 20%.
Lingxu Fairy left Ji Continent ten years ago, supposedly to search for the Heavenly Dao Qi, but whether that's true or not is unknown.
"That Lingxu Fairy was merely Earth Dao Nascent Soul in her previous life. Even if she were to be reborn, she most likely wouldn't be able to surpass her previous life."
Jiang Linglong secretly communicated with Chen Nianzhi, saying that she was different from ordinary people and knew more about some secrets.
Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi nodded, having some guesses in her mind, but quickly suppressed the thought.
Unlike back then, this time, several cultivators at the Golden Core Grand Completion stage have also attended the Exchange Fair.
Yan Ziji, who knew more people, spoke up, saying, "There are eight late Golden Core stage here this time, but apart from the three at the Golden Core Grand Completion, only Ancestor Mo is worth paying attention to."
"You must know this Ancestor Mo of the Qi Kingdom."
Chen Nianzhi nodded. She hadn't expected that in less than thirty years, Ancestor Mo's cultivation had advanced even further, reaching the Golden Core Seventh Layer realm.
This person is Middle-grade Golden Core, and he also possesses a pair of Ink-Snow Immortal Sword. His combat strength should be close to that of Golden Core Grand Completion.
"Besides this Ancestor Mo, there are three others we need to be wary of."
Yan Ziji spoke, she introduced the two to each of them, "That is Kunxu Zi, that is Daoist Wang, and that is Qin Tianmu from the Yuan Kingdom of the Heavenly Hut Continent."
Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly. Kunxu Zi was the number one Rogue Cultivator in the Ji Continent. Fifty years ago, he broke through to the Golden Core Grand Completion and even attempted to break through to the Nascent Soul realm once. Perhaps he would also have some hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future.
Daoist Wang is the Clan Master the Wang Clan of Immortals from the Star Continent. It is said that he has also forged Middle-grade Golden Core, and his strength is even stronger than that of an ordinary Golden Core Grand Completion.
What truly attracted other people's attention was Qin Tianmu.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi asked, "Is Qin Tianmu a cultivator from the Qin Immortal Clan of the Yuan Kingdom?"
"Indeed." Yan Ziji nodded, her gaze somewhat solemn, and said, "Although Qin Tianmu is only Low-grade Golden Core cultivator, he possesses some kind of Dao Body, so his chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul are not small."
