Daily Cultivation

With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi said, "With just one Nascent Soul Formation Pill, it is indeed difficult for Ling Ji to break through. How about this, I will give you another Creation Azure Lotus Seed, which may increase her chances of breaking through."

As Chen Nianzhi spoke, he handed the Creation Azure Lotus Seed and the Nascent Soul Formation Pill to Yan Ziji.

Yan Ziji glanced at it, then took out thirty Heavenly Crystal and said, "I should have bought it at the original price, but unfortunately I only recently broke through to the Nascent Soul, and I don't have enough Heavenly Crystal right now. Consider today's matter as me owing you a favor."

"There's no need for that," Jiang Linglong smiled and said, "Although the Creation Azure Lotus Seed is quite valuable, given our friendship over the years, there's no need for such trouble."

Chen Nianzhi also laughed and said, "Selling such treasures to our own people should naturally be at the internal price. You can't expect me to buy Gold-Vein Jade from you in the future and then pay me the external price, can you?"

Purple Ji Mountain, which is occupied by Yan Ziji, was once the territory of the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor and possessed a Golden-Origin Earth Vein.

Upon hearing the mention of the Gold-Vein Jade, Yan Ziji suddenly hesitated for a moment, then said, "I received news recently that the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor has joined the Purple Jade Lake. You'd better be careful from now on."

Upon hearing Chen Nianzhi frowned slightly. Purple Jade Lake was the territory of the Demon Emperor in the northwest of the Vast Sea.

That Purple Jade Lake and the Purple Jade Heavenly Python, with cultivation reaching the Nascent Soul Late Stage, were considered quite famous demon emperors in the Vast Expanse Marshes.

Back then, the two of them killed the female demon queen of the Golden Rhinoceros Lineage. Now that the Golden Rhinoceros Demon Emperor has found Purple Jade Lake as her backer, she might find a way to take revenge on them in the future.

With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi pondered and said, "Thank you for the reminder, but the Ji Clan is still in the Ji Continent, so I suppose they won't dare to act rashly at Purple Jade Lake for the time being."

"That's true." Yan Ziji nodded, then stood up and said, "I have to go back to help my sister Ling Ji Nascent Soul, so I won't stay any longer this time."

Chen Nianzhi stood up and said with a smile, "Then let's wish Lingji Fairy Nascent Soul."

"..."

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Chen Nianzhi was cultivating with Jiang Linglong in his cave when he suddenly noticed a communication talisman flying in. He took the talisman and pondered for a moment.

Jiang Linglong looked up, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The Ancestor Mo of the Qi Kingdom sent a communication talisman, wanting to exchange a Nascent Soul Formation Pill with me."

Chen Nianzhi shook his head. In recent times, many cultivators have wanted to buy Nascent Soul Formation Pill from him, mainly because Lingji Fairy had broken through to the next level.

Only a year after Yan Ziji left, good news arrived.

Having obtained both a Nascent Soul Formation Pill and Creation Azure Lotus Seed, Yan Ziji made up her mind to fully support Lingji Fairy.

It is said that Yan Ziji exhausted her wealth accumulated over hundreds of years to purchase a Ren Water Immortal Pear from the Profound Heaven Sect. Combined with the Nascent Soul Formation Pill and the Creation Azure Lotus Seed, this increased Lingji Fairy's chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage by a full 50%.

This time, Lingji Fairy did not disappoint her. She successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul realm and forged Human Dao Nascent Soul.

After the breakthrough, many people inquired about the origin of the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, and soon learned that the Chen Clan had refined a batch of Nascent Soul Formation Pill.

As a result, many Golden Core Immortal Clan, including those from the Vast Sea and Ji Continent, came to us seeking to purchase a Nascent Soul Formation Pill.

However, the Nascent Soul Formation Pill is a supreme treasure for breaking through to the Nascent Soul, and the Chen Clan family only has four left. Naturally, they would not sell them easily, so they all refused.

However, the letter from Ancestor Mo made Chen Nianzhi hesitate slightly, after all, Ancestor Mo had done Chen Xianye a favor back then.

"Fine, let's see if he can come up with a price high enough to buy it."

After saying this, Chen Nianzhi put the talisman away.

Seeing this, Jiang Linglong smiled seductively and said, "What's the rush? We haven't finished our daily cultivation routine yet."

She lowered her head again after she finished speaking.

"Hiss--"

"Fairy."

Chen Nianzhi took a slight breath, gently touched her long hair, and continued cultivating.

"..."

After completing his cultivation, Chen Nianzhi left the limp Jiang Linglong behind and walked out of the cave feeling refreshed.

Inside the main hall, he met Ancestor Mo Ancestor Mo, who immediately bowed to Chen Nianzhi and said, "Greetings, Senior True Lord."

There's no need for such formalities between us.

Chen Nianzhi helped him up, then smiled and said, "With your foundation Earth Dao Nascent Soul, even without the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, you should have a 60% Nascent Soul of successfully forming your Nascent Soul this time. Why are you in such a hurry to buy the Nascent Soul Formation Pill?"

"A 60% chance is still a bit low. I'm worried that if I fail, I'll waste this fortuitous opportunity to extend my lifespan."

Ancestor Mo shook his head and said helplessly.

Chen Nianzhi nodded. If she calculated carefully, Ancestor Mo's lifespan was already nine hundred years old, and he had already used the Nascent Soul Formation Pill once.

The opportunity to extend one's fortuitous opportunity is precious. If one uses it once during the Golden Core realm stage, one will lose one more chance to extend one's lifespan by a thousand years when breaking through to the Nascent Soul.

Ancestor Mo was worried that if he failed, not only would he waste the fortuitous opportunity to prolong his life, but he would also have to purchase the Nascent Soul Formation Pill in the future.

Moreover, there are only three hundred years left until the next Abyssal Demon Calamity. Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage one day earlier will increase the chance of refining Life-bound Spirit Treasure one day earlier.

Without Life-bound Spirit Treasure, breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm would only make one a coveted target for Outer Realm Demons.

After all, the Nascent Soul of Nascent Soul True Lord is a true tonic for Devil Cultivator. If someone has the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul True Monarch but their combat power is at the bottom, then their chances of dying will definitely increase significantly.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi asked, "I do have Nascent Soul Formation Pill, but Nascent Soul Formation Pill precious. More than twenty Golden Core realm cultivators from my Chen Immortal Clan are all eyeing them longingly."

"If you do not possess a treasure of sufficient value, I cannot exchange it for you."

"I understand." Ancestor Mo nodded, then handed a wooden box to Chen Nianzhi: "Speaking of which, Chen Xuanyuan and I discovered this item at the same time."

"It's truly a cruel twist of fate that it has now fallen into the hands of Chen Xuanyuan's descendants."

Chen Nianzhi fell silent upon hearing this, for the world's treasures belong to the strong.

Chen Xuanyuan had no one to blame but himself for failing to seize the treasure he had fought alongside Ancestor Mo in the past and fleeing to the Chu Kingdom.

The cause Karmic Retribution of the past had already been settled back then, and Chen Nianzhi was unwilling to pursue it now. He simply opened the treasure box and glanced at it, his brow furrowing slightly.

"It's actually this..."

Inside the treasure box was a three-foot-long stone, which contained a faint glow, with streaks of starlight flowing within it, bringing a sense of tranquility to the mind.

Chen Nianzhi recognized the origin of this item. This treasure was called the Star Dao Enlightenment Stone, a Tier 5 treasure that helps cultivators achieve enlightenment.

The Star Dao Enlightenment Stone can not only help cultivators comprehend the Dao, but also suppress inner demons, purify the mind, and increase cultivation speed.

The reason why Ancestor Mo has been able to rise to prominence over the years is because of this Star Dao Enlightenment Stone.
