Dao Body, Three-Yin Body

"Oh?" Chen Nianzhi shook her head, then said, "The Qian Clan has such an easy opportunity to take our salaries, yet they don't take it. Isn't it a bit like going the long way around?"

Perhaps it's just that everyone has their own ambitions.

The Old Clan Leader calmly shook his head and said, "The Qian Clan is unwilling to go to this trouble, so we can only ask the Heavenly Ruins Sect to arrange someone."

"Then I'll go back and discuss it with Linglong."

As Chen Nianzhi spoke, he returned to Spirit Isle Lake with the two elements of Geng-Metal Divine Radiance Xin Metal.

After arriving at Spirit Isle Lake, Chen Nianzhi handed over the Five-Elements Qi to Jiang Linglong and then briefly told her what had happened.

After listening, Jiang Linglong smiled and said, "Qian Shu is currently in seclusion studying Divine Ability, Ming Wei is mainly in charge of the Heavenly Ruins Sect, so let Ru Meng handle it."

"That's fine too."

Chen Nianzhi nodded and then discussed the salary with Jiang Linglong.

The best way to acquire the Five Elements Essence is to open a shop in every Marketplace in the Ji Continent, as the target customers are countless low-level cultivators.

To maintain their high shop rents, they can't just buy the Five Elements Essence; they also have to buy and sell elixirs, magical Law Artifact, and heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

A country typically has dozens of cultivation Marketplace. Golden Core True Person oversees all the business in a country, which is a considerable workload and requires the assistance of many cultivators.

This will affect cultivators' cultivation to some extent. Cultivators with greater potential from their Lineage should focus their main energy on cultivation.

Su Mingwei and Liu Rumeng's potential is almost exhausted, and Chen Qinghao and others don't have much potential for the future either. Moreover, they still owe their Lineage a large amount of Spirit Stone. It's most appropriate for them to focus their energy on trivial matters like acquiring the Five Elements Essence.

Of course, as compensation for their operation of the Marketplace, their salaries will also increase accordingly. For example, the two Golden Core realm of the Xu Clan will be able to receive a salary from the Chen Clan every year thereafter.

With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi said, "From now on, each Golden Core realm cultivator will receive an additional 30,000 in Lineage contribution points annually."

"As for the two members of the Xu Clan, let's give each of them 30,000 Spirit Stone."

"Can."

Jiang Linglong nodded and said calmly.

Although the value of Lineage contributions is similar to that of Spirit Stone, the Chen Clan family's Lineage contributions can be used to purchase many rare materials at half price, including treasures such as Tier 4 Spirit Peach and Spirit Apricot.

After these matters were agreed upon, Jiang Linglong, holding the Five Elements Essence, said, "Refining Star Gem is not easy. Ji Continent does not have Tier-5 Fire Vein, so this advancement to the Demon-Refining Immortal Sword will likely take a relatively long time."

In fact, Ji Continent possessed Tier-5 Fire Vein, and it was even Tier 5 Upper Grade Fire Vein. However, that Fire Vein was used to repair the Pure Yang Supreme Treasure Immortal-Refining Furnace, and now it was impossible to use the Tier 5 Earthfire Chamber.

Chen Nianzhi nodded and said calmly, "I'll lend you a hand."

The two stood up and stepped into the Spirit Pool, beginning their ascension by activating True Fire to refine the Star Fragment.

This Star Fragment truly lives up to its reputation as a Tier 5 treasure. Even with Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong joining forces to refine it with True Fire, they still couldn't completely refine it in a short time.

After a full year of refinement, the Star Fragment gradually melted, transforming into a shimmering liquid substance resembling the starry sky, which was then incorporated into the Heavenly Ruins Immortal-Slaying Sword.

After completing this step, Jiang Linglong spent another forty-nine days engraving the Spirit Treasure Array Pattern patterns into it.

Seeing the Spirit Treasure Array Pattern pattern take shape, both of them showed joy. Next, they only needed to refine the Five Elements Essence into the immortal sword to make it completely upgrade to Demon-Refining Supreme Treasure.

This step is time-consuming and laborious, and it requires the sword master to do it personally, so Chen Nianzhi naturally cannot interfere.

So he came out of his Seclusion Chamber, preparing to continue working on the Life-bound Spirit Treasure chapter of the Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword.

As soon as Chen Nianzhi stepped out of her Seclusion Chamber, she discovered that Hermit Qingci was waiting for her outside the Spirit Isle, accompanied by a pretty young girl.

Chen Nianzhi invited him into the main hall, Hermit Qingci smiled and said, "I've come at just the right time this time; you've only been waiting for three days before you emerged from seclusion."

"Brother Dao, your cultivation has made considerable progress."

Chen Nianzhi smiled as well. This Hermit Qingci's cultivation has now reached the Third Golden Core Layer, and it seems that he has even touched the threshold of the Fourth-Layer Golden Core stage.

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Nianzhi looked at the little girl and said, "Could this be your daughter, fellow Daoist?"

"Exactly."

Hermit Qingci nodded, a solemn expression on his face.

He looked around and, finding no one else, then pulled the little girl aside and said, "My daughter's name is Gu Lanshan, she just turned six this year. I recently examined her Spirit Root..."

He paused, his face grave, and said, "She seems to be Three-Yin Body."

"Dao Body?"

Chen Nianzhi's pupils contracted slightly, and she couldn't help but use her Divine Sense to investigate. After a while, she indeed revealed a look of surprise.

The Three-Yin Body is one of several Pure Yin constitutions. This Dao Body is no less than Ji Feixue's Profound Yin Body. It is invincible in cultivating Pure Yin Divine Ability techniques and is a true True Lord's aptitude.

However, this type of physique is relatively common among Dao Body, and it tends to have some obvious flaws.

That is, the Three-Yin Body must maintain the balance of the Three Element Spiritual Root in the body. Once it exceeds or falls below the three Three Element Spiritual Root Three Element Spiritual Root, it will cause Spirit Root conflicts during cultivation.

Looking at the little girl, Hermit Qingci smiled wryly and said, "This girl possesses Three-Yin Body, but she has Water-Wood Dual Spiritual Root. She must complete one of her Spirit Root before she can cultivate."

"Otherwise, when she breaks through to the Golden Core realm stage, it will inevitably lead to an uncontrollable conflict in her Spirit Root. I heard that your wife has a method to replenish her Spirit Root, which is why I came to find you."

As Hermit Qingci spoke, he added, "Of course, I know that such a unique method will not be easily passed down, so I would like her to become your wife's disciple. What do you think?"

"This..."

"With her talent, Linglong will definitely take her as her disciple." Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered, and then he said, "How about this, I will explain this to Linglong after she comes out of seclusion."

"Then thank you very much."

Upon hearing this, Hermit Qingci breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a look of joy.

He paused slightly as he spoke, then continued, "I recently obtained a Golden-Core Formation Pill from my Lineage, and I reckon my wife should be able to break through to the Golden Core realm realm this time."

"However, I lack sufficient Law Treasure. I wonder if you could lend me a Tribulation-Transcending Treasure?"

Chen Nianzhi was somewhat amused and exasperated. This Hermit Qingci, doted on his wife. For nearly a hundred years since breaking through to the Golden Core realm stage, aside from his cultivation, he had used all his salary to purchase Golden-Core Formation Pill for his wife.

So much so that now, apart from a pair of Qingci Twin Swords and Golden Radiance Glazed Lamp, he has nothing else in his possession.

Fortunately, after the battle in the Vast Sea, Chen Nianzhi obtained several Tier 4 Magical Treasure, and now he still has a few Fourth-order Low-grade Magical Treasure left.
