Seven-Colored Immortal Pearl, Astonishing Opportunity
Although faster cultivation speed will consume more resources, it still saves 150 years of arduous cultivation time.
However, Tier 5 Spirit Clam Pearl are extremely rare. A Tier 5 spirit shell can only produce one every ten Jiazi (60-year cycles).
The twenty Spirit Clam Pearl that Seven-Colored Immortal Shellfish took out were almost equivalent to most of the Immortal Scallop Clan's accumulated resources over thousands of years.
The two streams of Earth Mother Qi were born from the Earth Vein here, and the three spirit shells were left behind by three Tier 5 spirit shells that had passed away over the Spirit Clam Clan.
After everyone received the treasures, Six Desires Fairy said, "A pair of spirit seashells is worth one hundred Heavenly Crystal, and three pairs total three hundred Heavenly Crystal."
"Two hundred Heavenly Crystal from the Earth Mother Qi, that makes a total of four hundred Heavenly Crystal."
"As for the twenty Spirit Clam Pearl, let's calculate it as one for every fifty Heavenly Crystal."
"Can."
Everyone nodded and distributed the treasures according to the agreed-upon shares.
As agreed, the Nascent Soul Early Stage stage is allocated two-tenths of the combat power, the Nascent Soul Middle Stage is allocated five-tenths, and the Nascent Soul Late Stage is allocated 15% of the treasures.
Chen Nianzhi, whose combat strength is comparable to that of Nascent Soul Late Stage, can get 15% of the share. Jiang Linglong's combat strength is slightly weaker than that of Nascent Soul Late Stage, but she still gets 10% of the share because of her strong combat strength.
Together, the two of them will receive about 25% of the treasures, while the Six Desires Fairy and Jiang Moran will together receive 30%.
The remaining dozen or so Nascent Soul True Lord also received a considerable share, dividing the remaining 45%.
After some deliberation, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong exchanged eight Spirit Clam Pearl for each other, without taking any other treasures.
They have no shortage of Spirit Treasure now. Even the combined Earth Vein of the Earth Mother Qi Lineage can produce one every two or three hundred years on average. On the contrary, the most scarce resource is the Spirit Clam Pearl, which increases cultivation speed.
After distributing the treasures, the group did not linger at the Nine-Dragon Pool. They still needed to deal with the cultivators outside to prevent anyone else from sneaking into the Nine-Dragon Pool.
However, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong did not leave immediately. He cupped his hands in greeting to the Seven-Colored Immortal Shellfish and said, "May I ask, sir, I have a friend who accidentally fell into the Nine-Dragon Pool. I wonder if he is in your hands?"
"You mean the cultivator who obtained the Nine-Dragon Token?"
Seven-Colored Immortal Shellfish's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, then she bowed slightly and said, "My name is Qu Nishang, you may address me as Ni Chang."
"In recent days, besides you, he's the only one who's entered this place." Qu Nishang nodded again, gave a slight bow, and said, "Please follow me."
Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong exchanged a glance, then followed Qu Nishang into the depths of Nine-Dragon Pool.
After an unknown amount of time, Qu Nishang led everyone to a dark cave.
Inside the cave, Daoist Qingci sat cross-legged, but his aura was extremely weak, clearly indicating that his soul had suffered severe damage.
"He obtained the Nine-Dragon Token and inherited the legacy of the Nine-Dragon Pool's founder."
"But that Nine-Dragon Ancestor was extremely vicious; a wisp of his remnant soul lured him back to the Nine-Dragon Pool, intending to possess him."
Qu Nishang continued, "Fortunately, the Nine-Dragon Ancestor had already perished ten thousand years ago, and his remaining soul was extremely weak, yet he managed to pull through."
As Qu Nishang recounted the story, Chen Nianzhi finally understood the cause and effect.
The Nine-Dragon Ancestor was a strange Flood Dragon with nine heads. It is said to be one of the bloodlines of the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor, born from the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor and a nine-headed serpent demon emperor.
The Nine-Headed Flood Dragon merged with the True Dragon bloodline of the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor, and all nine of its heads were Flood Dragon heads, making its bloodline even more powerful than that of the Nine-Headed Serpent.
Its cultivation once reached the level of Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm, which was probably comparable to that of the Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor. Strictly speaking, it was twice as senior as the Azure Flood Dragon Demon Emperor, and the two might even be uncle and nephew.
This evil dragon was slain by a powerful Human Race more than 10,000 years ago. Because of the passage of time, the circumstances at that time are unknown.
However, this Nine-Headed Flood Dragon truly lived up to its reputation as a powerful, exotic Flood Dragon. Not only were all nine of its sons demon emperors, but its own lifespan was also incredibly long; even after ten thousand years, a remnant of its soul still lingered, attempting to possess another body.
Unfortunately, he underestimated Daoist Qingci and overestimated himself.
Daoist Qingci was at least a mid -Middle-grade Golden Core the Pseudo-Nascent Soul realm. Although the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon was once Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm, he had been killed tens of thousands of years ago. Only a weak remnant soul was left to possess him, but in the end, he still failed.
Seeing this, Chen Nianzhi smiled again and said, "Brother Qingci has survived this calamity and obtained the inheritance of Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm demon emperor. In the future, he will probably be able to cultivate to at least the Nascent Soul Late Stage."
"Our clan still possesses a piece of Earth Mother Qi. Let's retrieve it and use it to help him when we return."
At this point, Chen Nianzhi cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Qu Nishang and said, "Speaking of which, it was my good friend who brought the Nine-Dragon Pool back to life. I must apologize to the fairy here."
"There's no need for that."
Qu Nishang sighed, shook her head, and said with a bitter smile, "I've long understood, how can there be a place in this world that is free from conflict?"
"Being able to live carefree in Nine-Dragon Pool for thousands of years is already an immense blessing for our Spirit Clam Clan."
At this point, Qu Nishang looked at Chen Nianzhi and said, "I've heard that Human Race cultivators all set up formations. Now that my Nine-Dragon Pool has appeared, I'm afraid we'll need to set up a high-level formation to ensure our safety."
"That's why I'd like to ask you to set up a protective formation for our mountain."
"It's not that exaggerated. Most Human Race cultivators specialize in one area, and there aren't many cultivators who can perform Tier 5 formations."
Chen Nianzhi smiled and shook his head, then said, "However, I do know a little about formations, and I can set up a Tier 5 Upper Grade formation."
Is that really the case?
Qu Nishang's beautiful eyes lit up with joy, and she quickly said, "That makes things easier. If you are willing to set up Tier 5 Mountain-Protecting Array for me, I am willing to give you a generous gift."
As she spoke, she reached out and took out a precious pearl that shimmered with seven-colored light, her face slightly flushed.
"This is a Seven-Colored Immortal Pearl that fell from my body. Although it is not as precious as my natal pearl, it can still increase my chances of breaking through to the Primordial Spirit by 10%."
"Take this as payment."
"This..."
Chen Nianzhi's breathing became somewhat rapid. A supreme treasure that could increase the chances of breaking through to the Primordial Spirit stage by 10% was almost equivalent to half a Primordial Spirit Pill.
The value of this item cannot be measured in terms of Heavenly Crystal and Spirit Stone. If word gets out, even Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm would be overjoyed, and it would surely cause rivers of blood to flow throughout the world.
It's no wonder that the Seven-Colored Immortal Shellfish is known as Myth fairy seed, and even the Immortal of the Nine Heavens regard it as a treasure, given that it can give birth to such a precious thing.
It should be noted that Qu Nishang's cultivation level is only at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection stage. If she were to cultivate to the Primordial Spirit stage, wouldn't the Seven-Colored Immortal Pearl she condenses be even more astonishing?
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi's breathing became a little rapid. He couldn't help but glance at Qu Nishang, wondering whether he should take her back.
However, he quickly suppressed the thought. The two had only just met, and the other party was probably far stronger than him. He feared that neither gentle nor forceful tactics would work.
