Forming a Nascent Soul and the Inherited Experience of Ascending in Grade; the Fourth-Tier Earth-Element Spiritual Material "South Mountain Stubborn Stone"
After the Luan Household deity left, Kong Wenxuan stood up, looked at the Jade Slip in his hand, and probed it with his Spiritual Consciousness to check the information inside.
After a long while, he finally withdrew his Spiritual Consciousness, his expression changing several times. The Jade Slip contained his experience in breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm and advancing to the "Sixth-Grade True Spirit Heaven"!
With the experience recorded in this "Jade Slip" and the inheritance of the "Five Elements True Scripture", Kong Wenxuan is fully confident that he can break through to the Fifth Tier Nascent Soul Realm as long as he completes the refinement and advancement of the "Five Elements Divine Swords" and nurtures and polishes his own Golden Core and Peacock Bloodline to the extreme!
At that time, leading the Lineage to the "Sixth-Grade True Spirit Heaven" and becoming a "Middle-Grade True Spirit" Lineage, ruling over a prefecture will be an easy task.
"This favor... is quite substantial." Kong Wenxuan looked in the direction where the Luan Household's Divine Lord had left, and a thought couldn't help but cross his mind, "Back then, what exactly was the relationship between Ancestor Jianling and this Luan Household's Divine Lord? How deep was their friendship? Even though I had already refused the Luan Household's invitation, they still left behind such a valuable legacy of experience?"
Kong Wenxuan was somewhat curious, but unfortunately, the Kong Household had fallen from the ranks of "Ninth-Grade True Spirit" Lineage to the mortal realm. During their escape from the Central Domain to the Vermilion Bird Domain in the Southern Region, they lost a great deal of inheritance, data, and other information. In addition, many of the elder cultivators had died during their wanderings or in battle. The oldest members of the clan now were only the clan leader and the second elder, both of whom belonged to the "Chang" generation. They knew very little about the Kong Household's Ancestor Jianling.
Shaking his head, Kong Wenxuan flipped his hand and put the "Jade Slip" away. The experience passed down in this "Jade Slip" was exactly what he needed now, so there was no reason for him to return it.
As for favors, as his Lineage's strength and status continue to grow, he will always have the opportunity to repay them in the future.
Kong Wenxuan was quite confident about this.
This is also a major reason why he refused the Luan Household's offer of recruitment and refused to move his Lineage back to the "Azure Luan Commandery" in the Central Domain.
After all, with his cultivation level, strength, and the inheritance of the Five Elements True Scripture obtained from the Five-Colored Divine Light, he was confident that he would be able to lead his Lineage to the level of a "Middle-Grade True Spirit" Lineage sooner or later, and catch up with or even surpass the "Azure Luan" Luan Household.
At that time, it will be difficult to handle the relationship with the "Azure Luan" Luan Household, and being in the Central Domain will also present many restrictions and hinder development.
Moreover, as he said, their Kong Household has already established itself in the Vermilion Bird Domain of the Southern Region, is familiar with the surrounding environment, and has formed many alliances and friendships with "True Spirit Lineage". They have also been favored by the Bi Household and the Lu Household, and are at the forefront of their future. Why would they travel thousands of miles back to that unfamiliar place in the Central Domain, where they don't even know what unexpected situations or enemies they might encounter?
At this moment, some members of the "Seventh-Grade True Spirit" Lineage around them, seeing Luan Shenjun leave, gradually gathered around and continued to drink and chat with Kong Wenxuan.
During this time, they inevitably inquired about the purpose of Luan Household deities' visit. Kong Wenxuan did not say too much, only that his ancestors had a relationship with the Luan Household, but they had not been in contact for many years. Now that they had met at this "Grand Assembly," they chatted for a while.
Seeing this, the crowd didn't press for details, but they could tell that the Kong Household and the "Azure Luan" Luan Household had a good relationship. As a result, they became even more enthusiastic in flattering and praising Kong Wenxuan and the Kong Household.
Time flew by as everyone drank and chatted. In the latter half of the banquet, the "Golden Crow Emperor," who was seated at the head of the table, left his seat. The banquet became more relaxed, with everyone exchanging ideas, building relationships, and forming alliances. Quite a few deals and alliances were concluded during the banquet.
Kong Wenxuan also left his seat and went to the Bi Household's seat in Bifang to toast the Bifang Commandery several times. He then followed the governor to the Lu Household's seat in Extended Net Moon Deer to toast the governor Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture several times, thus expanding and deepening his Lineage's connections and network of relationships.
Of course, there were also plenty of drinking and conversations with familiar figures like the "Fire Crow" Magistrate of the Ya Household, the "Crested Ibis" Magistrate of the Huan Household, and the "Jufu" Magistrate of the Ju Household.
The banquet lasted for several hours before everyone dispersed, having finished their feast.
The end of the banquet also marked the conclusion of the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty" Grand Court Assembly. Officials from various regions who participated in the assembly left the highest point of the "Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram" under the sweeping starlight and returned to their own territories.
Kong Wenxuan was also swept away by the starlight and returned to Peacock County Seat.
Once he landed, he felt that his body, Peacock Bloodline, Purple Mansion Golden Core, spirit and soul, and Five Elements Divine Swords were all full of spiritual vitality, eager to move, and showing great potential for growth, advancement, and transformation.
He knew that these were the effects of the Sixth Tier spiritual food he had eaten and the "Star Dew Sweet Spring" and "Grand Yin Jade Dew" he had drunk during the "Grand Court Assembly" banquet.
At this moment, his Divine Ability, his spirit was active, and his Law Power was full of spiritual vitality, making it the best time for him to go into seclusion for cultivation.
With the benefits of these spiritual foods and jade dews, if he were to go into seclusion to refine and improve the "Divine Sword," he would be able to greatly accelerate the process, achieving far better results than if he were to cultivate in seclusion in the "Pseudo-Innate" area at the core of the "Origin-Securing Grand Formation."
This is the benefit of the spiritual food and wine bestowed by the "Golden Crow Emperor" at the "Grand Court Assembly".
Without delay, Kong Wenxuan immediately summoned the "Peacock County Magistrate's Official Seal" and used it to contact the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty" treasury to exchange for the spiritual items he needed.
It was the "South Mountain Stubborn Stone," Fourth Tier earth-elemental spiritual item that he had long coveted, consisting of nine stones, costing a total of three thousand merit points.
The Kong Household has accumulated nearly 30,000 merit points from the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty". Kong Wenxuan has long decided to use these accumulated merit points to exchange for treasures before launching a counterattack against the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" in the "True Spirit Realm", so as to enhance his own and his Lineage's strength and prepare for the subsequent counterattack.
This Fourth Tier earth-elemental spiritual material, "South Mountain Stubborn Stone," was the very treasure he had long coveted for exchange, intended for refining and upgrading the final "Yellow Earth Divine Sword." The only characteristic and advantage of this "South Mountain Stubborn Stone" spiritual material lay in its "stubbornness."
Stubborn and unyielding, the "South Mountain Stubborn Stone" was inherently extremely hard, with few means to break or use it. Only because the inheritance of the "Five Elements Divine Swords" was powerful enough that Kong Wenxuan was confident in using the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword" to devour and refine it, and to use it to refine and enhance the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword".
By using this "South Mountain Stubborn Stone" spiritual material to refine and enhance the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword Yellow Earth Divine Sword," its hardness can be greatly increased.
The truth is that in the battles and fights over the years, the "Five Elements Divine Swords" that Kong Wenxuan had refined had become unusable in battle many times, breaking or even snapping. That's why Kong Wenxuan wanted to enhance the hardness and toughness of the "Five Elements Divine Swords" in order to support the increasingly numerous and intense battles and fights to come.
As the starlight dissipated, a jade box was revealed. Upon opening the box, it contained nine Fourth Tier earth-elemental spiritual materials called "South Mountain Stubborn Stone."
Clearly, the Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty had sent the treasures he had exchanged via the Starlight Teleportation of the "Celestial Stars True Spirit Diagram of the Celestial Stars).
At that moment, Kong Wenxuan accepted the jade box and bowed towards the direction of the "Golden Crow and Great Sun" in the sky to express his gratitude.
He then handed the "Magistrate's Official Seal" to the clan leader, instructing the clan leader to use the remaining merits to exchange for resources, spiritual objects, and treasures needed by the Lineage and its members from the Imperial Treasury. These resources would be used to enhance the Lineage's strength and combat power in preparation for the subsequent counterattack on the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven."
He then took the "South Mountain Stubborn Stone" spiritual material he had exchanged and entered the Lineage's "Peacock Secret Realm," climbed the "Ancestral Spirit Mountain Peak," and took advantage of the time while the blessed feast and spiritual wine he had consumed were taking effect to refine and enhance the final "Yellow Earth Divine Sword."
