Purchasing Water-Vein Jade

Upon seeing these treasures, Chen Nianzhi was overjoyed. The Five-Elements Spirit Fruit and the Demon-Refining Treasure Talisman were one thing, but the ice-blue jade was truly a rare treasure.

This item is called the Water-Vein Jade. Like the Fire-Vein Jade, this supreme treasure is one of the Five-Vein Jade.

It can help cultivators with water spirits break through to the Nascent Soul realm, and it can also be used to refine Demon-Refining Supreme Treasure.

Jiang Linglong's External Avatar was forged using the Water-Vein Spirit Pearl. Once it is integrated with the Water-Vein Jade, it can advance to the level of Spirit Treasure, and its cultivation and Law Power will reach the Nascent Soul realm.

Although this incarnation can only use water-attribute Law Treasure and Divine Ability, and cannot integrate its Natal Great Divine Ability, its magical Law Power is equivalent to that of Human Dao Nascent Soul, and its strength is roughly the same as that of the Scarlet Flame True Lord.

With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi looked at Jiang Linglong and said, "This item is of extraordinary value; we must buy it even at a great cost."

"Um."

Jiang Linglong nodded in agreement. The combat power boost brought by a Tier 5 External Avatar would be even greater than that of a Demon-Refining Supreme Treasure.

However, the Water-Vein Jade needs to be nurtured in Tier 5 Water Vein for a thousand years. Because it has more uses and is infinitely mysterious, its value is much higher than that of the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, and it will probably cost a large sum of Heavenly Crystal.

Such treasures start at a base price of sixty Heavenly Crystal, often tempting even Nascent Soul True Lord, and ultimately fetch a much higher premium.

Although they had seventy Heavenly Crystal, it wouldn't be easy for them to buy this Water-Vein Jade.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Linglong immediately transmitted her voice to Ji Xuanming, saying, "I am willing to offer seventy Heavenly Crystal to purchase this Water Element Jade."

Ji Xuanming glanced at Jiang Linglong and quickly smiled, "So it's Fairy Jiang. Since you want this item, I naturally won't give it to anyone else."

"It's just that the Clan Master urgently needs Origin Celestial Crystal, otherwise I would be willing to give you a bottom price."

Ji Xuanming had not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage and could not be considered a high-ranking member of the Ji Clan. He roughly understood that Jiang Linglong came from the Jiang Clan, but he did not know her true identity. Nevertheless, he still took the initiative to give them the five Five-Elements Spirit Fruit.

Jiang Linglong did not refuse. The other party gave her several Five-Elements Spirit Fruit as an extra gift, and the Lineage might be able to produce one or two more Golden Core realm cultivators, so it could be considered a profit.

After completing this transaction, the two had almost exhausted their Heavenly Crystal and had few Spirit Stone left.

Although there were many precious treasures ahead, and they coveted the invaluable Tier 5 spirit talisman, they lacked the resources to purchase it.

After the Exchange Fair ended, Chen Nianzhi did not linger in Ji Continent Market. After bidding farewell to Liu Rumeng, he returned to the Chu Kingdom.

"..."

"You're finally back!"

Upon returning to Yu Commandery, the Old Clan Leader sought out Chen Nianzhi.

In recent years, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong have not been in the Chu Kingdom, and the strongest pillars of the Lineage are now the Old Clan Leader and Chen Nianchuan.

Of the two, Chen Nianchuan's cultivation level was at the Fifth Golden Core Layer, but with the foundation of High-grade Golden Core and three powerful Life-bound Magical Treasure, his strength was even three points stronger than that of an ordinary late Golden Core stage cultivator.

The Old Clan Leader's cultivation had already reached the sixth Golden Core tier stage. With the foundation of Middle-grade Golden Core, his Law Power was comparable to that of Golden Core Seventh Layer cultivator.

In fact, his Law Power had long since reached the threshold of the Golden Core Seventh Layer, but he had been extremely busy overseeing the Lineage's relocation in recent years.

In addition, he was worried that there would be no one in the Lineage to oversee him while he was in seclusion, so he had not taken the time to go into seclusion to break through.

Upon seeing Chen Nianzhi return, the Old Clan Leader breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Now that you're back, I can finally go into seclusion and attempt to break through to the late Golden Core stage stage."

"Thank you for your hard work all these years, Old Granduncle."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, her expression somewhat wistful.

The Old Clan Leader shook his head and said helplessly, "I'm actually quite relaxed. Your Uncle Qing Hao and Aunt Qingwan are the ones who are scrambling around like crazy."

Listening to his explanation, Chen Nianzhi finally understood that Chen Qingwan should have broken through to the Golden Core realm stage a few years ago, but she was delayed because she was busy acquiring Five Elements Essence for him. She planned to break through after she finished this busy period.

Chen Nianzhi was speechless. Refining a Demon-Refining Supreme Treasure consumed an enormous amount of Five Elements Essence. In just a few decades, they had already refined two Natal Life-bound Spirit Treasure.

Now, they also need to refine the third natal Life-bound Spirit Treasure, the ' Yin-Yang Void Mirror '. Such a huge workload would probably take a Nascent Soul Immortal a great deal of time and effort to accomplish.

Because the clients who acquire the Five Elements Essence are tens of thousands of low-level cultivators, it would take decades for the Five Elements Essence produced by the low-level cultivators of a country to be refined into a Demon-Refining Supreme Treasure.

This doesn't even include the Five Elements Essence consumed by them in cultivating Divine Ability. Over the years, the Five Elements Essence consumed by Chen Nianzhi in cultivating various Divine Ability is worth more than ten million Spirit Stone.

Together with Jiang Linglong, the Chen Clan now owns nine Tier 4 Spirit Mountain, as well as Tier 4 Spirit Stone mines. They also control numerous businesses, including shops, Marketplace, tax collection, ferries, and the sale of elixirs.

The annual income adds up to nearly a million Spirit Stone, but after deducting various expenses and costs such as salary, the accumulated amount over every hundred years is still tens of millions of Spirit Stone.

However, the Chen Clan Golden Core Immortal Clan for less than two hundred years, and the accumulated foundation is still limited.

A single Water-Vein Jade nearly wiped out the entire income their Lineage had accumulated over two hundred years.

If it weren't for Chen Nianzhi's three Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root and the gains from numerous battles, Chen Nianzhi would probably be struggling to make ends meet right now.

Because of his cultivation of Divine Ability and Law Treasure, the amount of Five Elements Essence he consumed was enormous, and most of his Lineage's contributions over the years had been spent on this Five Elements Essence.

This is still at the Golden Core realm stage. The Great Divine Ability he cultivates is only at the minor completion stage. If he were to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and want to cultivate a Great Divine Ability to the great completion stage, the consumption of the Five Elements Essence would be an enormous expense.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi said, "You've all worked hard these past years. From now on, leave the minor matters to the Council of Elders. You should focus on your cultivation."

"There has to be someone in charge."

The Old Clan Leader smiled and shook his head. The business of the Five Elements Essence was too large. In order to prevent anyone in the Lineage from embezzling funds, a person of prestige was needed to oversee it.

Apart from Chen Nianzhi and the Old Clan Leader, the other members of the Lineage who have sufficient prestige are still somewhat lacking.

Nianchuan and Ya Ya are both High-grade Golden Core, Xian Yan, after Middle-grade Golden Core, also possesses some Nascent Soul aptitude. Their prestige has gradually increased over the years, so in theory, they should be able to shoulder this great responsibility.

However, they are still young, Old Clan Leader hopes they can go further, so he took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility, overseeing the Lineage's relocation while also managing the business of the Five Elements Essence.
