Chuanlong Minor Gathering: Opening!

Countless mountains and wildernesses, countless passes and barriers!

Overcoming countless mountains and passes, we finally reach Bachuan!

There is a city in Bachuan and a city in Seongsan!

We eagerly await your arrival in Beichuan!

A magnificent city, built against the mountain, with black-armored soldiers patrolling the wilderness!

The somber atmosphere was palpable, yet the prosperous land seemed like a celestial palace!

Although the outer city is a flat, rural area, the temples and shrines there are unlike those of the mortal world.

Once the treasure ship Port, Qianlong Port had become a renowned cultivation port, known throughout the surrounding counties and towns, and was incredibly prosperous...

As he gazed around, the Twenty-Four Peaks seemed like giant hands reaching to the sky, and the roars of beasts faintly echoed from the mountains...

There were also Myriad Weapons golden peaks, shining brightly and dazzling with Golden Light!

Even more enormous tea trees, rooted in the mountaintop, make the entire peak a translucent, emerald green...

There are also the Immortal Peak, the Xuanshan, and the Wenge Pavilion!

The six mountain peaks, representing the six branches of the Qin Clan, exude unparalleled power. What a blessed land of immortals, what a heavenly abode for cultivation!

Looking northwards

This reveals the origins of the Qin Clan and their Muxuan Mountain...

A majestic and magnificent palace, entirely black, sits nestled in the mountains—that is the [Qin Palace], representing the supreme authority of the Qin Clan!

"The feeling of coming home..."

"Very nice!"

Qin Wu rode Golden-Winged Black Bird, carrying a golden sword on his back, his black robe billowing, truly resembling a sword immortal!

Countless people gazed at him from afar, and some even recognized Qin Wu's face, exclaiming, "Look! Look!"

"That's the third son of Ancestor Qin!"

"A prodigy who, at only twenty-something years old, has already achieved the Qi Condensation stage!"

"His killing power is unparalleled; he is recognized as the most powerful of the three families in Longchuan Prefecture!"

This statement was transmitted --

The entire hall was instantly stunned; such an exceptionally talented person...

It makes countless people envious and wish they could replace it!

Countless people gazed upon the obsessed god, unwilling to forget him for a long time.

Some lamented his youthful arrogance, some scoffed with sour grapes, some remained unknown, and some reminisced about the past with youthful vigor...

A young Warrior remained silent, his lips pursed.

It's hard to know what he was thinking—bitterness, reconciliation with his mediocrity, or a determination to strive and fight!

Ultimately, it faded into obscurity among the masses...

And what others said—

Qin Wu, long gone, had no idea that one day he too would be admired and envied by others...

He gazed up at the distant sea, unaware that he too had become a mountain admired by others!

It wasn't just him.

Rather, the entire Beichuan Qin Family, and countless others, looked up to this suddenly rising behemoth. Perhaps, at first glance, it didn't seem like much...

If you do the math...

Currently, the Qin Clan, even just in terms of its overt strength, possesses three Qi Condensation Realm warriors, three major military legions, a Black Dragon Legion, and hundreds of Qin Elite Soldiers...

In addition, there's the mobilization of affiliated forces.

We have several thousand Warrior at our disposal, and over one hundred thousand ordinary soldiers!

That's enough to wage a considerable war!

In the context of the Zhou-Liang war, this force would have been enough to form the main force in a small battlefield, responsible for capturing a key town...

At this very moment -- Welcoming Guests Peak -- Mountainside Palaces

Nearly thirty Qi Condensation cultivators gathered together...

The group sat on prayer cushions, with a table in front of them laden with spiritual Spirit Cuisine, delicacies, tea, Spirit Wine —a veritable Manchu-Han Imperial Feast...

This meal alone is worth at least several Spirit Stone!

Nearly thirty spirit meals, each costing a hundred Spirit Stone —truly extravagant and lavish!

Qin Lu sat in the head seat, with Huang Liang to his left and Zhang Xuan to his right. Below them were the remaining members of the Qin and Huang families who Qi Condensation, and the Huang Clan had gained a new member...

Including Qin Wu, there are a total of seven Qi Condensation cultivators!

This was quite a spectacle. We had long heard that the three families of Longchuan were inseparable, but what we saw today was truly an eye-opener for everyone!

With this amount of resources, if the three parties are willing, they could even easily overwhelm some weaker Prefecture!

Fellow Daoists!

"Today, we are able to sit together in this hall and share a meal; this is fate! It is the will of the Unseen!"

"Come!"

"I, Qin, would like to propose a toast to everyone!"

Having said that--

Qin Lu took the lead in raising his glass, and the others followed suit. Putting everything else aside, they had to show him respect!

The Qin Clan's courteous manners fostered harmony and prosperity among everyone!

A wave of mutual flattery in business is nothing more than a way to feel good!

Then, the group got down to business, with Qin Lu leading the conversation, saying:

"It is fate that we have met. Let us follow tradition and exchange what we have and what we lack!"

"I, Qin, am making a fool of myself here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Lu's robes fluttered...

Jade boxes, pill bottles, and various spiritual items emerged one after another, totaling more than fifty items, a third of which revealed the aura of the Second-Tier!

"This is Second-Tier Low Grade True Essence Pill, which has the effect of restoring Spiritual Power..."

"And there's the Blood Spirit Pill, an ancient body-strengthening elixir, Second-Tier Medium Grade!"

"And this spirit tea, a unique product of our clan, can only be harvested once every ten years. It is called: Soul-Awakening Tea, and can aid in breaking through realms..."

"It also provides some nourishment to the soul; it is Second-Tier Medium Grade spiritual item!"

There are only two coins in this box!

"There are also three Second-Tier Law Artifact: the Golden Cloud Treasure Umbrella, the Mother-and-Child Seven-Bladed Saber, and the Wind Spirit Umbrella and Rain Sword. The former is Second-Tier Low Grade, and the latter is a Second-Tier Medium Grade..."

"Besides..."

Qin Lu introduced them one by one; each one was a valuable item, either Second-Tier spiritual object or a rare First-Tier treasure...

Now that the Qin Clan is powerful, Qin Lu has the confidence to reveal his valuable possessions...

For example, the Soul-Awakening Tea is supposed to Spirit Transformation, but Qin Lu just spouted nonsense and only took out a small amount...

No one noticed anything amiss, and no one dared to easily provoke the Qin Clan!

"I will only exchange these treasures for Wood Dao treasures, various Pill Formula, Poison Dao- related treasures, as well as various Spirit Plant, inheritances, etc..."

The words had barely left his mouth--

Immediately, several voice transmissions rang in Qin Lu's ears!

Most of them were seeking elixirs, inquiring about prices for magical Law Artifact and various spiritual items, as well as Soul-Awakening Tea, which was purchased by some elderly people...

An old cultivator whose spirit has been dormant needs this tea to strengthen his spirit and achieve a breakthrough, thus extending his lifespan by a few more years!

Qi Condensation cultivator's lifespan is 150 years, which can be extended as their cultivation level breaks through. Upon reaching the Qi Condensation Completion, their lifespan can extend to 180 years...

Many cultivators nearing the end of their lives often risk breaking through a minor realm to extend their lifespan.

Legend has it that the Daliang Ancestor broke through his cultivation realm at the last minute, thus extending his lifespan by more than ten years, which is why the Da Zhou stopped the war!

This is also one of the most convincing rumors in recent years...

Back to the main topic--

At this time, Qin Lu kept exchanging for treasures. If he found any useful Wood Dao artifacts, he would take them all into his possession!

They even got a Insect Heart in return!

Taken from a mid- Second-Tier Medium Grade insect demon, it can aid the Qing Centipede's cultivation...

There are also several pieces of century-old tree marrow crystals. These treasures are usually obtained from a century-old spiritual tree, which is refined from the entire tree. Their effects are very singular...

It's about enhancing the cultivation foundation of Wood Dao cultivators!

Other items include: Wood Essence, 100-year-old Lush Flourishing Fruit, ancient spirit wood remains, Morning Light Spirit Dew...

These, to varying degrees, can enhance Wood Dao cultivator's foundation, increase their affinity with plants, and serve as treasures that aid in their cultivation!

Qin Lu made a rough calculation--

If used properly, these resources are enough to support him in cultivating to the Late Qi Condensation!
