Astral Glazed Body
After listening to their conversation, the Xu Clan's Great Elder smiled and said, "Cloud-Riding Mountain is only three million miles away from our Xu Clan. Since it's going to become unclaimed land, why don't we just wait until you leave before taking it?"
"Fellow Daoist, you seem to be overthinking things." Chen Nianzhi smiled calmly, but countered with a question, "If we wait until we leave, can you possibly defeat the Remnant Snow Sect?"
Both of them remained silent upon hearing this, clearly having already made up their minds.
Seeing this, Chen Nianzhi spoke again, "If I sell Spirit Mountain to you in advance, once you set up the Tier 5 Mountain-Protecting Array, it won't be so easy for the Remnant Snow Sect to take it back."
The Xu clan leader was somewhat tempted, but still shook his head and said, "We don't have any fifth-tier array masters, so occupying Tengyun Mountain might not be advisable."
"That's easy. I am a Tier 5 Middle Grade array master." Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly, confidently saying, "I can set up the array for you."
"That's acceptable."
The Xu clan chief nodded, then added, "However, we will provide the most crucial array artifacts ourselves."
"Clear."
Chen Nianzhi nodded. The Array Instrument was the core of the array, and the other party did this because they were afraid he would leave a backup plan.
After reaching a preliminary agreement, the two parties began negotiating the price. After several rounds of haggling, they finally settled on a price of 30,000 strands of Mystic Ice Qi.
This price is already very cheap. Back then, Chen Nianzhi sold Qin Clan's Spirit Mountain for a full two hundred million Spirit Stone.
The current price of these 30,000 Dao Xuan is roughly equivalent to 100 million Spirit Stone, making this Spirit Vein an extremely cheap bargain.
However, this was a risk-free business, Chen Nianzhi couldn't stay here and occupy Spirit Mountain, so he couldn't ask for too high a price.
Moreover, if this Mystic Ice Qi were purchased in the Eastern Wilderness, the price would probably increase by 80%, so relatively speaking, both sides actually made a large profit.
The transaction lasted for three months, until Chen Nianzhi set up an array for the Xu Clan and finally obtained the Mystic Ice Qi.
The Xu clan leader looked at Tengyun Mountain and couldn't help but show a hint of joy. Chen Nianzhi not only set up a protective array for the mountain, but also a fourth-order teleportation array.
The Xu Clan was only three million miles away from Cloud-Riding Mountain, so this Tier 4 Teleportation Array was barely enough, which surprised him.
Thinking of how the clan had acquired a fifth-tier spiritual mountain, greatly increasing its resources, the Xu clan leader said happily, "We owe a great debt to you, fellow Daoist. Without this fourth-tier teleportation array, it would have been truly difficult for us to defend Tengyun Mountain."
"It was just a small favor."
Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly, then cupped his hands and said, "Now that the formation is complete, we won't stay any longer."
"Fellow Daoist, please wait."
Seeing that Chen Nianzhi was about to leave, the Xu clan leader smiled slightly and said, "I guess you're leaving the Snow Mountain Ancient Domain."
"However, the True Lord Exchange Fair of the Snow Mountain Ancient Domain will be held in three years. This Exchange Fair will be held at the Flying Snow Tower of the Heavenly Mountain. If you are not in a hurry to leave, you might as well wait until the Exchange Fair is over before you go."
"Exchange Fair?" Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong exchanged a glance, then Chen Nianzhi cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said, "Thank you for the reminder."
After bidding farewell to the Xu clan chief, Chen Nianzhi led a few others in a treasure boat and flew deep into the Tianshan Mountains.
On the treasure ship, Jiang Linglong spoke up, "This time we brought two Fire-Vein Jade, which are very rare treasures in the Northern Plains. Perhaps we can exchange them for some precious items."
Ya Ya nodded, then smiled and said, "Many unique treasures of the Northern Plains, if brought back to the Eastern Wilderness, might fetch a high price."
"Then let's go to Flying Snow Tower."
Chen Nianzhi smiled and steered the treasure ship towards the depths of the Heavenly Mountain.
After arriving at the Flying Snow Tower Market, the group quickly investigated and understood the power of Flying Snow Tower.
The Flying Snow Tower is one of the top five powerful forces in the Snow Mountain Ancient Domain. It not only has a Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm expert, but also more than thirty Nascent Soul True Lord.
Thinking of the terrifying power of the Flying Snow Tower, Chen Nianzhi exclaimed in amazement, "The Flying Snow Tower alone is already close to the power of the Profound Heaven Sect, the number one sect below the Nascent Primordial Spirit level in the Eastern Wilderness. How can the power in the Far-Northern Icefields be so strong?"
"It's all because of the Abyssal Demon Calamity," Jiang Linglong sighed, saying helplessly.
Chen Nianzhi sighed inwardly, understanding the reason behind it.
The Eastern Wilderness and the cultivation world of the East Sea are interdependent; their fates are interdependent. Almost every time there Abyssal Demon Calamity, the entire region mobilizes to resist it.
In the Far-Northern Icefields, each faction only needs to send one-third of its cultivators, and even if there are any losses, they can recover quickly.
More importantly, the Eastern Wilderness was destroyed by Outer-Realm Demon several times. Apart from a very few extremely powerful Nascent Soul Immortal Clan, the vast majority of Immortal Clan rose up after the catastrophe, and their foundation and heritage were far inferior to those of the Far-Northern Icefields.
Seeing this, Ya Ya sighed and said, "Strictly speaking, the Eastern Wilderness has richer resources and is more suitable for mortals to live and multiply."
"If it weren't for the Abyssal Demon Calamity, it might have been far more prosperous than we see today."
Chen Nianzhi remained silent for a moment, then said firmly, "We must cultivate diligently, and one day we will surely wipe out the end of that calamity and create a peaceful land for all living beings."
The group rented a cave dwelling in the Flying Snow Tower Market and began preparing to cultivate in seclusion while waiting for the Exchange Fair to begin.
"..."
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
That day, Chen Nianzhi was cultivating in Seclusion Chamber when, unknowingly, streaks of starlight began to appear within his body.
In a daze, countless star-like Dao patterns converged, enveloping his physical body and soul like a star-like veil, making his body look dazzling and divine, as if it were cast from crystal stars.
It's done.
Suddenly, Chen Nianzhi opened her eyes and smiled slightly.
Over the years, he has been diligently cultivating, and in his early years he had already cultivated the Great Evolution Heavenly Art to the Minor Vehicle stage Minor Vehicle stage. Now he has finally cultivated the ' Astral Glazed Body ' from the Star-Watching Ancient Scroll to the Lesser Vehicle level as well.
This ' Astral Glazed Body ' is just like the ' Great Evolution Heavenly Art '; both are Great Divine Ability of the Heavenly Secrets lineage.
Of the two, the ' Great Evolution Heavenly Art ' excels in calculation. Once it is used, it can calculate the secrets of heaven. If it can obtain the assistance of the Great Evolution Star Compass, it can even calculate many deeply hidden fortuitous opportunity in the world.
The ' Astral Glazed Body ' excels in defense, capable of resisting Demonic Path spells and preventing others from calculating its effects.
After Chen Nianzhi cultivated the Astral Glazed Body to the Minor Vehicle stage realm, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to use incantations and celestial secrets to plot against him, except for Primordial Spirit Dao Lord and a very few top Nascent Soul Great Cultivator were skilled in celestial secrets.
"Unfortunately, to cultivate the ' Astral Glazed Body ' to its full potential, the assistance of the Heavenly Spirit Treasure Stargazing Tower is still needed."
Chen Nianzhi whispered, then gave a bitter smile.
There are all sorts of Divine Ability abilities in the world, and the conditions required to successfully cultivate them are also different.
Besides the common Five Elements Essence, some Divine Ability require precious spirit medicine as a catalyst, Divine Ability require comprehension, and Divine Ability require special Spirit Treasure as an aid.
