There's No Peaceful Way to Resolve This

It turns out that breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm without using Foundation-Building Pill is the norm. The vast majority of Rogue Cultivator and cultivators from small Lineage do this, but nine out of ten of them fail at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, even after reaching the Self-Foundation Establishment, it doesn't guarantee that one can go further. For Rogue Cultivator and cultivators from small Lineage, even if they break through to the Foundation Establishment, it's not easy to gain a foothold.

To be recognized by the Six Great Families of Yu Commandery and allowed to share in the benefits of Yu Commandery, one must have at least two Second-Order Spirit Vein: one to breed mortals and provide a continuous stream of cultivators, and the other to supply the Lineage's cultivators with the cultivation of immortality.

Even if these minor immortal cultivators break through to the Foundation Establishment, without the benefits and stipends of the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan, and without Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivation Method to increase their speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi, their cultivation will be extremely difficult, and they will have to waste most of their lives searching for Cultivation Resources.

Most of these people are stuck in the early to mid-stages of Foundation Establishment before they die, while only one or two fortuitous opportunity enough to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage through hard work.

However, without treasures like the Violet Sun Jade or the Blazing Fire Crystal to aid in breaking through to the Purple Mansion, their chances of success are only one or two out of ten.

Even those Rogue Cultivator of Heavenly Ruins Mountain, such as Lin Qianshu, Purple Mansion Lin Qianshu with an Ice Spirit Root, only broke through to the Purple Mansion Realm with the support of Patriarch Jiang.

In comparison, the Chen Clan and other Immortal Cultivation Family with hundreds of years of history possess several Second-Order Spirit Vein and a stable source of income, ensuring they don't go hungry or starve. This greatly increases their chances of breaking through to the Purple Mansion.

Cultivating immortality is no easy feat.

"Aren't we, the six great immortal clans of Yu Commandery, just like those Purple Mansion Immortal Clan?"

"Without third-tier Earth Vein, Third-Order Spirit Vein, and third-tier Cultivation Method, what good is it if a Purple Mansion cultivator occasionally appears? Even cultivation is extremely difficult, let alone advancing to the next level."

"If Purple Mansion were to pass away in a hundred years, it would be merely a fleeting moment, and he would find it difficult to pass on the status of the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan."

As the Old Clan Leader spoke, a sigh appeared on his face.

Chen Nianzhi listened quietly, then frowned slightly. "With the Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root, our Chen Clan will definitely be able to possess Third-Order Spirit Vein in the future. The problem is the Purple Mansion Cultivation Method."

"At this Exchange Fair, the Yang Clan of Spirit Commandery did offer Purple Mansion Realm Cultivation Method, but unfortunately, the terms of the trade were too harsh."

"These Purple Mansion Immortal Clan would almost certainly not allow a third-tier Cultivation Method to fall into our hands." The Old Clan Leader shook his head, then smiled.

"No one can predict what will happen in the future. If we can break through to the Purple Mansion in the future, and if we have a valuable third-tier treasure, it's not like we can't exchange it for something."

"After all, cultivators at the Purple Mansion level also need to exchange information and resources."

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and she said meaningfully, "My Chen Clan's Blazing Sun Soaring Void Art and Blazing Fire Soul-Burning Art are extremely Higher Vehicle. When I was cultivating them, I felt that they seemed to have something in common and complement each other."

"If we organize it in the future, taking the essence and discarding the dross, we might be able to advance it to a higher level, at least surpassing its current level."

The Old Clan Leader's pupils contracted, then he laughed heartily, "If you can achieve that, then your talent will probably be comparable to that of Patriarch Jiang."

"Patriarch Jiang is exceptionally talented, proficient in alchemy, formations, Array Instrument, all at the level of Creation. I am far inferior to him."

Chen Nianzhi spoke calmly, continuing to lightly tap Lin Baixi's Storage Bag.

As the second most important person in the Lin Clan, Lin Baixi possessed many treasures, including over two thousand Spirit Stone in his Storage Bag.

In addition, the Lin Clan's treasured Purple Sun Furnace and Azure Firmament Thousand-Star Needles, two Tier 2 high-grade magic Law Artifact, both fell into Chen Nianzhi's hands.

Furthermore, the Barrier-Breaking Heart-Locking Awl and the Azure Flying Sword are both Tier 2 magic Law Artifact. Just based on the wealth contained in these few Law Artifact, Lin Baixi's wealth is enough to make many Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator drool.

"The Lin Clan truly lives up to its reputation as the number one Lineage in Yu Commandery." The Old Clan Leader's face was full of smiles, and he said with some surprise, "It seems they've reaped quite a few benefits by having Lin Mohe, a Purple Mansion cultivator, as their backer."

The two quickly finished distributing the treasures. Chen Nianzhi already had too many magical Law Artifact; adding more would strain her Divine Sense and True Essence.

So he simply replaced the Azure Ape Orb with the Purple Sun Furnace and put the Law Artifact that had been with him for many years into the clan's treasury.

In addition, he hung the cyan flying sword and the Barrier-Breaking Heart-Locking Awl, among other Law Artifact, in the clan treasury, intending to distribute them to Chen Qingwan and the Third Elder.

In fact, the two of them were also somewhat lacking in True Essence, and could only use a maximum of three Tier 2 Magical Tool.

Therefore, the extra Chen Nianzhi is planned to be kept in the clan treasury, to be traded with others for treasures in the future, or to be kept for future Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Lineage.

After dealing with Lin Baixi's Storage Bag, the Third Elder, who had received the message, rushed over.

Upon arriving in Peaceful Sun City, he couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened?"

Chen Nianzhi recounted the whole story, and the Third Elder listened with a solemn expression and said...

"With Lin Baixi killed, the Lin Clan will likely not let this go."

"They won't give up, and I certainly won't let this go unpunished."

The Old Clan Leader said with murderous intent, "Lin Baixi and Lin Moqin set up tracking Law Artifact to hunt us down. If it weren't for Nian Zhi's great strength, even an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator might not have been able to escape with their lives."

"This karmic Karmic Retribution must be settled." Chen Qinghao frowned and couldn't help but say, "But with the Lin Clan backed by the Second-Order Spirit Vein, Inkblue Mountain, it's difficult for us to really do anything to them."

"It's alright. Although we can't take down Inkblue Mountain, we can still take down Spirit Apricot Mountain."

Spirit Apricot Mountain is one of the three Second-Order Spirit Vein occupied by the Lin Clan. More than seventy years ago, Spirit Apricot Mountain belonged to the Mo Clan Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan in Yu Commandery.

However, more than seventy years ago, Beast Turmoil struck, and both of the Mo Clan's Foundation Establishment cultivators perished in the battle, after which the Lineage declined.

At that time, of the two Second-Order Spirit Vein of the Mo family, one was occupied by the newly Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan, Sun Clan family, as their Lineage residence, and the other fell into the hands of the Lin Clan.

The mountain occupied by the Lin Clan is Spirit Apricot Mountain. Spirit Apricot Mountain is only of the Tier 2 Low-grade and has no special products, but there is an Spirit Apricot Ancient Tree on the mountain.

That Spirit Apricot Ancient Tree has grown for hundreds of years and is of the highest grade, reaching the First-Tier Superior-Grade. It can produce more than a dozen Spirit Apricot every year.

Although this Spirit Apricot does not have the miraculous effect of increasing cultivation level, it can increase a cultivator's lifespan. It is said that a cultivator can increase their lifespan by one year by consuming one Spirit Apricot. The only drawback is that a cultivator can only consume three in their lifetime.

Although the increase in lifespan is not significant, this item is still a treasure for increasing lifespan, so each Spirit Apricot is worth as much as fifty Spirit Stone.

The Lin Clan has relied on this Spirit Apricot Ancient Tree to generate an extra seven or eight hundred Spirit Stone in income each year, which has always been the envy of the other major Lineage in Yu Commandery.

Chen Changxuan said with a sneer, "You inform the Six Great Families of the situation. Nianzhi and I will take advantage of their unpreparedness and attack Spirit Apricot Mountain first."
