Distributing the Precious Pills [Third Update]

"If it weren't for your help at the last moment, I'm afraid we could only have made two."

Looking at the Creation Returning-Cloud Pill, Jiang Linglong smiled and exclaimed, "Your Alchemy Art have improved greatly. It seems that once you break through to the Nascent Soul, you will be able to advance to Tier 5 Alchemist."

This time, Chen Nianzhi's Alchemy Art also advanced to the Tier 4 High-Grade, and her Alchemy Art were already quite advanced, which helped her at the last moment.

Chen Nianzhi shook her head with a smile and said, "I was just assisting. If it weren't for your Bu Fan alchemy skills, it would have been almost impossible to refine three pills."

The two said no more. Chen Nianzhi took out the Creation Voidreturn Pill and said, "This Creation Voidreturn Pill is precious and not suitable for sale. Let's keep it for internal use."

"How about this, Qian Shu and Ming Wei each take one, and the remaining three are for the Old Clan Leader, Nianchuan, and Xian Yan."

Jiang Linglong shook her head and sighed, saying, "After Ming Wei broke through to the Golden Core realm, her potential has been exhausted, so this item is useless to her."

"Moreover, she used three Golden-Core Formation Pill to barely break through, and the debt she incurred will take many years to pay off. She also has no Lineage contribution to purchase these Golden-Core Formation Pill."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi remained silent.

Of the two Golden Core realm cultivators under Jiang Linglong's tutelage, Lin Qianshu was somewhat better, but Su Mingwei's talent and temperament were far inferior.

Her breakthrough to the Golden Core realm realm was largely due to luck, and she only got to where she is today thanks to Jiang Linglong's support all the way.

Moreover, she is only at the Low-grade Golden Core. Even if a huge price is paid in the future to help her reach the Nascent Soul stage with the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, the hope is probably very slim.

With a limited lifespan, insufficient Law Power power, and Low-grade Golden Core, supporting such a cultivator would be extremely costly, and their potential would be limited.

In fact, Chen Qingwan is the same; she has flaws in both her mind and Law Power, and it would probably be difficult for her to break through to the Golden Core realm stage.

It was only because Chen Nianzhi cherished their past relationship that she was willing to spend a huge amount of money to support her in Golden-Core Formation Pill stage; otherwise, it would have been almost impossible for her to break through to the Golden Core realm in the future.

Jiang Linglong herself is only at the Golden Core realm stage and needs various resources. Su Mingwei is only her Registered Disciple and not the successor of the lineage, so it is impossible for her to devote all her efforts to supporting her.

In comparison, Lin Qianshu, who helped her a lot along the way and completed her Middle-grade Golden Core cultivation, is still more worthy of nurturing.

Moreover, Lin Qianshu was, after all, her direct disciple, and the two were not too far apart in age, so their relationship was much closer.

In fact Su Mingwei also understood that her Dao Path immortality was hopeless. In recent years, she had focused her main energy on managing the affairs of the Heavenly Ruins Sect and handling some trivial matters for Jiang Linglong and the Heavenly Ruins Sect.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Nianzhi pulled Jiang Linglong into his arms and said, "You're taking too good care of me."

"They're different."

Jiang Linglong shook her head and said with a smile, "You grew up in the Chen Clan since you were a child, and you survived your weakest period under the protection of the Chen Clan, which is how you got to where you are today."

"My disciples are people I raised; I don't owe them anything. On the contrary, they owe me."

Hearing her say that, Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly.

We should repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude. When we have the ability, we should help those who have been kind to us in the past; this is human nature.

In Chen Nianzhi's view, if one cannot even be a decent human being, how can one be qualified to talk about becoming an immortal?

"..."

After refining the elixir, Chen Nianzhi left the Qingyang Mountain fire vein, teleported to Lingzhou Lake, and then went directly to Pingyang City.

Upon meeting the Old Clan Leader, he took out the Creation Voidreturn Pill and said, "How would you like to distribute these four pills?"

"It's actually this pill?"

The Old Clan Leader took the Precious Pill, revealing a look of delight. Then, he stroked his long beard, frowned, and pondered.

The Chen Clan has developed rapidly in recent years. In addition to Chen Nianzhi, there are actually five Golden Core realm cultivators. These five are the Old Clan Leader, Chen Nianchuan, Chen Xianyan, Chen Qinghao, and Ya Ya.

Of these five Old Clan Leader goes without saying; he certainly wouldn't be missing one.

Chen Nianchuan and Ya Ya are both High-grade Golden Core, possessing immense potential. Their chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul in the future are extremely high, so naturally, the faster their cultivation progresses, the better.

With this in mind, the Old Clan Leader still said, "Xian Yan has made a great contribution this time, and she also has the aptitude of Middle-grade Golden Core. Such resources should be given priority to her."

"That's what I think too." Chen Nianzhi nodded, then said, "After the future Exchange Fair, if we encounter Voidreturn Spirit Treasure Jade, we can have priority to purchase it at a premium."

"That Hermit Qingci is Middle-grade Golden Core cultivator and also a Lineage elder; we could invest in nurturing him."

The Old Clan Leader nodded and stroked his beard, saying, "Speaking of Hermit Qingci, he came to the Lineage a while ago, saying he wanted to buy a Golden-Core Formation Pill for his wife."

"It seems they know we're refining the Golden-Core Formation Pill."

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered. This was the second time Hermit Qingci had purchased Golden-Core Formation Pill for his wife. He smiled and said, "We refined eight Golden-Core Formation Pill this time. He's one of our own, so let's exchange one for him later."

After processing the several precious pills, the Old Clan Leader took out a Storage Bag and handed it to him. "By the way, the Spirit-Gathering Dao-Protecting Formation you requested, I've already had the materials gathered, and we're just waiting for you to set it up."

"So fast?"

Chen Nianzhi showed a look of delight, and then took the Storage Bag.

After examining the treasures in the Storage Bag, Chen Nianzhi said with a smile, "I'll refine the array plate; Old Granduncle, please lend me a hand."

"Good."

The Old Clan Leader also showed delight, as refining such a high-level array plate could also improve his weapon refining and array formation skills.

He disregarded taking the Creation Voidreturn Pill to improve his cultivation, and that very day he found Chen Qinghao to take his place in overseeing the situation. Then he went to Azure Sun Mountain with Chen Nianzhi.

The two arrived at the underground fire vein of Qingyang Mountain and immediately began to cultivate in seclusion to refine array artifacts.

This Spirit-Gathering Dao-Protecting Formation is of the highest grade, Tier 4 High-Grade, and is composed of forty-nine third-rank array flags and a Tier 4 array plate.

In order to acquire the materials needed for the third-tier array flags, several Golden Core realm from the Chen Clan even went to the Wei Kingdom and bought a large amount of Heavenly Silkworm Silk from the Wei Clan of the Wei Kingdom.

In addition, they also made a trip to the Cang Kingdom and bought forty-nine third-order spirit trees from the Tier 4 High-Grade Wood-Origin Earth Vein of the Cang Kingdom Spirit Stone.

The array plate requires three types of Fourth-order Heavenly Material. The Chen Clan, possessing several Earth Vein, managed to gather all of these treasures.

"This Array Instrument is extremely precious, and the silk is also very delicate, so we must be careful."

After taking out the silkworm silk and spirit wood, Chen Nianzhi said with a solemn expression.

That being said, Chen Nianzhi's array formation and weapon crafting skills made it no surprise that he could forge these third-tier array flags.

The two of them, along with seven or eight third-tier Artifact Refiner from their Lineage, worked together for forty-nine days to successfully refine all forty-nine array flags.

After completing all this, Chen Nianzhi began to refine the Tier 4 array plate.

The Tier 4 array plate was extremely difficult to forge, beyond the capabilities of a third-order Artifact Refiner. It took the Old Clan Leader and Chen Nianzhi a hundred days to successfully forge this array plate.
