The Elder Patriarch Advances to Middle-grade Golden Core

This Black Abyss Ancient Gold is a rather sinister type of ancient gold, and the Thousand Demons Slaying Devil Sword in Chen Nianzhi's hand was also forged from this gold.

If we could obtain this Higher Vehicle piece of Black Abyss Ancient Gold, it would be the best choice to use it to enhance the power of the Thousand Demons Slaying Devil Sword.

"The compensation should be paid in full with Spirit Stone."

As for the distribution of war merits...

Chen Nianzhi pondered for a moment. Since Black Abyss Ancient Gold was already there, there were naturally no other good options.

He took the Black Abyss Ancient Gold and said, "This Black Abyss Ancient Gold is useful to me. I'll exchange it for three million battle merits. You have no objections, right?"

"Since Fellow Daoist Chen wants it, we naturally have no objection."

Sect Leader Qian spoke, he replaced one of the Tier 4 Magical Treasure, and the last one was replaced by Lingji Fairy.

Devil Cultivator cultivators possess quite a few treasures, but most of them are bloody and evil, utterly useless to righteous cultivators.

There are only three Tier 4 Magical Treasure that are truly useful to the righteous path, which is clearly not enough to go around.

Although the Taiwu True Person did not receive any Tier 4 treasures, he still smiled and said, "In this battle, the Demon Cave was destroyed, and the Black Eagle Demon King fled into the heart of the Demon Race realm. The Tier 4 Spirit Mountain of Black Eagle Ridge is now empty."

Everyone paused slightly upon hearing this. The Spirit Vein of Black Eagle Ridge Tier 4 Mid-Grade, and their value was indispensable to any Golden Core realm power.

Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong exchanged a glance, then Chen Nianzhi smiled and said, "Black Eagle Ridge doesn't have any Tier-4 Earth Vein, only one Tier 4 Spirit Vein."

"We don't lack Spirit Vein right now. If you want to acquire them, you can name your price."

The Lingji Fairy of the Purple Abyss Sect were somewhat tempted, but they quickly suppressed their thoughts, as they were too far apart.

Black Eagle Ridge is, after all, an undeveloped Tier 4 Spirit Vein. Even if it were occupied, cultivated, and put into Spirit Field, it would require a great deal of manpower and resources.

From this perspective, the Azuregreen Immortal Sect, being the closest, is the most suitable choice.

As expected, the Taiwu True Person stroked his long beard, pondered for a moment, and then said, "If you are willing to give this Tier 4 Spirit Mountain to our Azuregreen Immortal Sect, we are willing to offer eight million Spirit Stone in exchange."

"Only eight million Spirit Stone?"

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Qian's eyes widened, and he shook his head repeatedly, saying, "If a mid-grade Tier 4 Mid-Grade Spirit Vein were to be upgraded using Spirit Stone, it would cost a full twenty million Spirit Stone."

"You think you can get rid of us with eight million Spirit Stone? That's far too stingy."

Taiwu True Person gave a wry smile and quickly said, "Although Spirit Mountain is precious, after deducting costs, it will probably take at least several hundred years to earn back twenty million Spirit Stone."

"Moreover, the three Golden Core realm Yuan Clan from the Yan Kingdom also intervened to restrain the Black Eagle Demon King, and I will have to pay a huge price for them."

"Especially Zhang Yuankong, the newly Golden Core realm from the Yan Kingdom, is now eager for Tier 4 Spirit Vein. I'll have to pay a considerable price to appease him."

As he spoke, he then told everyone with a worried expression that the Azuregreen Immortal Sect could not come up with tens of millions of Spirit Stone at once.

Even if the entire clan borrows money from within and without, it is estimated that only six million Spirit Stone can be raised, and the remainder will need to be repaid slowly in the future.

There was nothing that could be done about it. The Azuregreen Immortal Sect suffered a severe blow a hundred years ago and compensated the fallen Sect Master Zhang of the Firmament Sword Sect Leader Zhang with a large amount of treasures.

In an extremely short period of time, they also cultivated Ming Wu True Person, a Golden Core realm cultivator. It can be said that the Azuregreen Immortal Sect is currently in a very difficult situation.

Hearing him say this, everyone understood that the Azuregreen Immortal Sect was having a difficult time.

However, since it concerned her own gains, Lingji Fairy smiled and said, "Brother Taiwu, don't pretend to be pitiful. This time, you obtained Black Eagle Ridge, and with Azuregreen Mountain, you now have two mid- Tier 4 Mid-Grade Spirit Vein."

"From now on, the vast Azuregreen Mountains will practically be under the control of your Azuregreen Immortal Sect. The resources and profits within will be enough to make your Azuregreen Immortal Sect extremely wealthy."

"If you're unwilling to part with your Spirit Stone, then someone else might take this Spirit Mountain, and they might even try to steal the fortuitous opportunity from your Azuregreen Immortal Sect Azuregreen Mountains."

Qian True Person nodded, his eyes flickering slightly as he said, "If Black Eagle Ridge weren't located north of the Azuregreen Mountains, separated from our Firmament Sword Sect by the vast Demon Ape Ridge, I would have bought it today, no matter the cost."

Hearing them say that, Taiwu True Person gave an awkward smile.

If other forces were to occupy the Azuregreen Mountains, they would likely clash with the Azuregreen Immortal Sect over resources.

Thinking of this, he said, "Then I'll add another two million Spirit Stone. If you won't give it to me, I can only pay you five million first, and the remaining five million Spirit Stone will have to be repaid in installments over two hundred years."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and agreed to the deal.

After the deal was struck, Jiang Linglong calmly said, "The Beast Turmoil will break out in about ten years, and this Beast Turmoil may be even more troublesome than the one a hundred years ago."

"With Black Eagle Ridge and Demon Cave no longer holding us back, I hope you can lend me a hand."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned solemn. With the day when the Ji clan leader breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage drawing ever closer, it seemed that Bibo Lake was becoming increasingly restless.

The Demon King of Azure-Wave Lake is likely becoming increasingly impatient and may even break off relations by sending his Demon Race to attack the Chu Kingdom Cultivation World Azure-Wave Lake.

Under these circumstances, the Chu Kingdom Cultivation World must unite in order to maintain the peace of the Chu Kingdom.

With this thought in mind, Sect Leader Qian nodded and said, "Our Firmament Sword Sect will naturally not stand idly by during this Beast Turmoil."

"Our Azuregreen Immortal Sect will also send people to lend you a hand," said Taiwu True Person.

Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly, "With your help, I feel relieved."

The group stayed in the Demon Cave for a month, and after settling all the war merits and compensation, they returned to their respective posts. The cultivators of the Heavenly Ruins Alliance also returned to the Chu Kingdom on two Treasure Ship.

The two returned to Spirit Isle Lake Spirit Isle Lake, and soon after their return, the Old Clan Leader ended his seclusion.

Upon hearing that Chen Changxuan had emerged from seclusion, Chen Nianzhi immediately went to Peaceful Sun City.

"..."

Peaceful Sun City.

Compared to Peaceful Sun City more than two hundred years ago, Peaceful Sun City today has undergone tremendous changes.

In the center of this city, rows of celestial palaces are scattered in an orderly fashion. The place is full of Spiritual Qi and shrouded in ethereal mist, making it seem like a celestial city.

Within these palaces, in a pond, a group of spirit fish swim, adding to the misty beauty of the Spirit Pool.

Beside the Spirit Pool, beneath a majestic willow tree, Chen Nianzhi sat facing her Old Granduncle.

Looking at the radiant Old Clan Leader, Chen Nianzhi smiled and said, "Old Granduncle, with your advancement to the Middle-grade Golden Core Nascent Soul in the future."

"Hahaha."

Chen Changxuan laughed heartily and personally poured Chen Nianzhi a cup of tea, "Two hundred years ago, I would never have imagined that I could cultivate to this level."
