Sorting Through the Spoils

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing upon me the Dharma."

"Thank you for bestowing this method upon me, Ancestor."

Both of them were overjoyed and immediately bowed down to express their gratitude.

Chen Nianzhi nodded and said calmly, "These two Cultivation Method are newly created and may have some flaws. If you encounter any problems during your practice, you should come to me immediately for guidance."

"Disciple understands."

The two nodded repeatedly, and finally Chen Nianzhi waved her hand, signaling them to step down.

After the two left, Chen Nianzhi smiled and said to Jiang Linglong, "I also gained some insights from this lecture, and the process of peering into the Dao Body gave me considerable understanding."

"I already have a feeling that this time I can deduce the Five-Element Origin Return Scroll to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage."

Jiang Linglong's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled, saying, "Your Five-Element Origin Return Scroll has reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage stage. Can you deduce any new Divine Ability?"

Chen Nianzhi's brow twitched slightly, and after a long while, she shook her head and said, "Ever since I broke through to the Nascent Soul, I have understood the path I must take."

"I plan to integrate the Return-to-Ruins Water-Control Art with the dozens of Divine Ability I have learned, and then imitate the Five-Element Divine Thunder and Five-Element Divine Light to create a completely new Natal Divine Ability."

"Could it be that you intend to...?"

Jiang Linglong paused slightly. She knew Chen Nianzhi Chen Nianzhi well and understood her pride. Over the years, Chen Nianzhi's accumulated abilities had already enabled her to create many Divine Ability.

However, among the five elements Cultivation Method he practiced, apart from the Solar True Shield and the Return-to-Ruins Water-Control Art, none of them gave rise to other Divine Ability.

Because all along, his main focus has been on accumulating his own foundation, in order to perfect a world-shaking Great Divine Ability.

Once this set of Divine Ability is revealed, it will surely become an unparalleled Great Divine Ability that will shake the world.

"The Five Elements..." Jiang Linglong murmured to herself, then couldn't help but ask, "Is your Divine Ability about to be revealed?"

"We're still far from it; it will take many years of accumulation."

Chen Nianzhi shook her head, but there was a hint of confidence in her expression.

Creating a completely new set of Divine Ability is incredibly difficult, but creating a supreme Great Divine Ability that directly points to Pure Yang is even more difficult.

However, Chen Nianzhi had a grand vision and firmly believed that by taking one step at a time, he would be able to complete the creation of this Divine Ability. When this method was born, it would surely be earth-shattering, and all demons and monsters would be terrified.

Suppressing her distracting thoughts, Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly and said, "Wen Yuan's Four Symbols Dao Body and Fu Su's Three Origins Dao Body have both given me great inspiration."

"If they can cultivate to the True Lord realm, with the Dao patterns within their bodies evolving in a profound and harmonious way, it might greatly accelerate the speed at which I perfect my Cultivation Method."

Jiang Linglong smiled and said calmly, "I never imagined that taking on a disciple would bring you such a reward."

"Perhaps this is fate."

Chen Nianzhi smiled and said no more, beginning to deduce the Five-Element Origin Return Scripture.

"..."

Time flies, and more than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Chen Nianzhi opened her eyes from her seclusion and revealed a faint smile.

Twenty years is an extremely short time for Nascent Soul Cultivator. During this time, Chen Nianzhi's cultivation level was still at the Nascent Soul Second Layer, but he had finally perfected his Cultivation Practice Method to the Fourth Nascent Soul Layer.

When he emerged from his seclusion today, he saw Jiang Linglong smiling and saying, "Zi Ji sent a message a while ago, asking if we wanted to go to the Heavenly Profound Continent together."

"Oh?"

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and after a quick calculation, she realized that it was time for the Three Vein Ancient Region Exchange Fair again.

The last Exchange Fair of the Three Vein Ancient Region was held at the Flying Feather Pavilion in the Azure Luan Continent, and this time it was hosted by the Profound Heaven Sect, the number one sect in the Three Vein Ancient Region.

Yan Ziji several people to the Heavenly Profound Continent, probably also for the fortuitous opportunity by this Exchange Fair.

With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi nodded and said, "The Nascent Soul Exchange Fair only happens once every hundred years. Such fortuitous opportunity is extremely rare, and we certainly cannot miss it."

"Then let's make a decision about the treasures we need to purchase."

Jiang Linglong nodded, and then began to plan which treasures she needed to purchase.

The first priority for the Chen Clan to purchase among the Tier 5 treasures is naturally the Tribulation-Crossing Flower. This flower is the medicinal ingredient for cultivating the Nirvana Tribulation-Transference Art, and it is a treasure that Chen Nianzhi absolutely must buy.

Secondly, there is the Earth Mother Qi. The Chen Clan still has two Earth Mother Qi, but Lin Qianshu and the Old Clan Leader both want to use them.

As for Chen Xianyan and Chen Xianye, they will likely begin their attempt to reach the Nascent Soul realm in two cycles of sixty years. Not to mention Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong will also need this item to break through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage in the future. Therefore, the Earth Mother Qi is probably still insufficient.

Besides the Earth Mother Qi, there are the treasures needed to set up the Five-Vein Nascent Soul Formation. The Five-Vein Nascent Soul Formation requires the Five-Vein Jade. The Chen Clan now has the Gold-Vein Jade and the Earth-Vein Jade, which is enough to set up two sets of the Five-Vein Nascent Soul Formation.

However, since the Old Clan Leader mainly cultivates the Solar Departure-Fire Scroll, it would be best to set up another Fire-Vein Nascent Soul Formation.

Not to mention, Chen Nianzhi also wanted to prepare some Tier 5 Heavenly Material for Chen Nianchuan and the Old Clan Leader, etc., to help them upgrade their Life-bound Spirit Treasure.

After considering it for a moment, Chen Nianzhi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The Tribulation-Crossing Flower is a life-saving treasure that can also extend one's lifespan by three thousand years, so it is often sold at an extremely high price, sometimes fetching three hundred Heavenly Crystal."

"The Earth Mother Qi is worth around two hundred Heavenly Crystal. We should purchase two of them; these two items alone would cost seven hundred Heavenly Crystal."

He shook his head and said, "Although the Lineage has accumulated some wealth over the years, we only have seventy Heavenly Crystal at present, which is far from enough."

After some deliberation, the two realized that although they had quite a few Tier 5 Spirit Treasure, several of them were used to set up formations and were not available for sale.

Aside from the Spirit Treasure Sword in Chen Nianchuan's possession, the only weapons he could actually use were the Three-Treasure Gilded Armor and the Supremacy Sword.

However, the Three-Treasure Gilded Armor is the most suitable Spirit Treasure for overcoming tribulation. Although the Supremacy Sword can be sold, if Lin Qianshu and the Old Clan Leader undergo tribulation at the same time, the Lineage's treasures may not be enough.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Linglong decisively said, "We'll sell the Supremacy Sword. Since our clansmen don't have any Spirit Treasure for their tribulations, we'll dismantle the Star-Moon Pot and the Gilded Heavenward Seal from the formation to help them through Spirit Treasure tribulations. We'll return them after we've used them."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi frowned and said helplessly, "However, after the Spirit Treasure is injured during its Lightning Tribulation, the power of the formation will decrease by 30% within three hundred years."

Since we have no money, we'll just have to make do with what we have.

As Jiang Linglong spoke, she added, "This is still not enough; we need to find a way to raise some more money."

"Then let's sell Enlightenment Tea."

Chen Nianzhi said that ten years ago, the Chen Clan's Enlightenment Tea Tree had already advanced to the Tier 5 and produced three ounces of precious spiritual tea.

The Enlightenment Tea, grown from the Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root, has countless wonderful uses. Just by taking a sip of this spiritual tea, a cultivator can temporarily enter a state of Heaven-Human Resonance, and it can also slightly increase the comprehension of Nascent Soul Cultivator.

This Enlightenment Tea is of immeasurable value; even a single ounce is worth hundreds of Heavenly Crystal.
