Chapter 1551 : Lack of Xian Yuan

This immortal peach is rich in the power of Creation's Origin. Each fruit contains an amount of primordial essence comparable to a portion of Heaven and Earth's Primordial Chaos, offering immense benefits even to a perfected Earth Immortal Patriarch.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, if 1 could consume 9 immortal peaches at once while attempting to breakthrough to the Half-Step Celestial Immortal realm, it would increase their chances of establishing a Taiyi Foundation by 10 percent.

The 8-Order Supreme-Grade Enlightenment Tea was an even more extraordinary treasure for comprehending the Dao Principles.

Eldrin discovered that after drinking this tea, within 1 1000 years, an immortal's comprehension would surge tenfold, granting them divine-like insight into the principles of the Great Dao. Even for those at the half-step Celestial Immortal realm, it held immense value.

However, from this perspective, the Dao-Enlightenment Tea still falls far short of the Yin Yang Dao-Comprehending Pill (Spiritual Object).

However, this Enlightenment Tea Tree matures once every 300,000 years, each time yielding 3,600 Enlightenment Tea Leaves—sufficient for an Earth Immortal Patriarch to cultivate with for hundreds of thousands of years.

The remaining Gale Gourd Vine was also exceptionally powerful, and the Gale Severing God Gourd it produced had now ascended to become a Heaven-Splitting Supreme Treasure.

The current Leg Wind God-Slaying Gourd had significantly enhanced its energy storage capacity, capable of containing the spiritual power of approximately 9 Earth Immortals at the Great Perfection stage. Moreover, the Leg Wind God-Slaying Flying Daggers had also undergone a tremendous boost in potency.

After some experimentation, Eldrin discovered that once activated, the Leg Wind Severing Deity Gourd unleashed astonishing power, already comparable to a full-force strike from a Taiyi Immortal Weapon—enough to severely injure a Half-Step Celestial Immortal in a single blow.

Most crucially, this treasure could now be activated 9 consecutive times. If wielded skillfully, it held the potential to severely injure—or even slay—foes with dual Taiyi foundations.

"What a fine treasure."

Eldrin caressed the Whirlwind God-Slaying Gourd, unable to resist his fondness for it.

Although Eldrin now possessed several Innate Treasures and Taiyi Marvels, he was unable to wield any Innate Treasure in combat. While artifacts like the Taiyi Essence Gold War Halberd and the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss possessed devastating power, activating them consumed an immense amount of spiritual energy.

Even with Eldrin's current level of cultivation, he could only manage to unleash a move or 2 at most. After those 2 moves, his spiritual energy would be completely depleted, rendering him unable to unleash its ultimate power.

In contrast, the Leg-Wind God-Slaying Gourd could be activated without consuming Eldrin’s (Person Name) magical power, making it a hidden trump card for critical moments. As for the Taiyi Essence Gold War Halberd and the Taiyi Thunder Abyss Myriad Tribulations Sword, both had limited potential.

Even if Eldrin spared no expense to seek out Primordial Qi to help them advance into Primordial Treasures, both artifacts possessed only a single Great Unity Dao Principle, allowing them to evolve at most into a single Primordial Dao Pattern.

In other words, at most, the 2 treasures were merely a single low-grade innate treasure.

In truth, the same held for the Heaven and Earth Primordial Vessel and the Yin-Yang Unity Crucible—their Dao patterns had been fixed from the very moment of their inception, leaving no room for further refinement.

As Eldrin's cultivation gradually advanced, when he broke through to the late-stage Celestial Immortal realm and even reached the Great Perfection stage, these lower-grade Primordial Treasures would no longer be of such great use to him.

Only a life-bound immortal treasure forged through shared cultivation of life essence, and a spiritual root capable of continuous growth like this, could accompany Eldrin on his ongoing journey of advancement.

As long as Eldrin continued to diligently nurture this Swiftwind Gourd Vine with Primordial Purple Qi, his cultivation would steadily advance. In time, he could elevate it to the rank of a Primordial Heavenly Spiritual Root, and perhaps even into a Primordial Chaos Treasure.

Eldrin understood this point, and thus cherished this Wind-Sweeping Gourd Vine all the more.

He then placed the Leg Wind Chop God Gourd back onto the Leg Wind Gourd Vine for nurturing, letting out a soft sigh of relief.

After emerging from the Abyssal Ruins, Eldrin noticed that only slightly over 1,000 drops of Primordial Spirit Water remained within the Primordial Chaos Vessel. He summoned Lyra and others, stating: "Our clan now possesses scarce Immortal Origin reserves. We must seek new sources of Immortal Origin."

Lyra nodded and began to speak, "During this period, I have signed agreements with the Violet Heaven Dao Palace, the Glazed Glass Blessed Land, and other major surrounding powers to exchange resources for Immortal Origin."

"Barring any mishaps, we should be able to obtain 100,000 units of Immortal Origin every millennium from now on." "A 1000 years for 100,000?"

Eldrin frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Typically, Earth Immortal Elders were accustomed to operating in cycles of 1 100 1000 years. Over a single millennium, they would accumulate 100,000 units of immortal essence. In a 100 1000 years, this would amount to 1,000,000 units—a quantity that could hardly be considered insignificant.

However, for Eldrin (Person Name) to advance a single supreme-grade World-Creation Spiritual Plant, he required 13,000,000 units of Immortal Origin. The 10,000,000 units he possessed still fell short.

Moreover, for Lyra (Person Name) and the others to advance their spiritual roots to the eighth-rank upper grade, each of them would require nearly 30 million units of Immortal Origin—no trivial amount.

At this thought, Eldrin spoke: "With less than 500,000 years remaining until the Dao Tribulation, at this rate we can only gather 50,000,000 units of Immortal Origin. That will certainly be insufficient."

Qing Ji also nodded and said, "We are also seeking solutions. Currently, we are investigating the Immortal Origin mineral veins within the Flowing Rivers and 100 Seas, preparing to acquire all 32,000 of these spirit veins under our control."

"Once successful, we should be able to generate an additional 100,000 units of Immortal Origin roughly every 1000 years."

"Moreover, with our control over the Flowing Rivers and 100 Seas, along with the resource output from the major immortal islands, we should be able to generate nearly 30,000,000 units of Immortal Origin every 100 1000 years."

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod upon hearing this.

Acquiring 30,000,000 Immortal Origins within a span of 1 100 1000 years was already an astonishing figure. Even at the peak of the Flowing Fire Star Palace's glory, they had only managed to obtain 4 to 5 million Immortal Origins every 100 millennia.

After distributing salaries to the several 1000 immortals of the Flowing Fire Star Palace and the Earth Immortal Elders, and deducting operational costs, what remained of this sum was actually rather modest.

Of course, Eldrin could accomplish this primarily because the Chen Immortal Clan possessed astonishing resources, controlling assets worth hundreds of millions of immortal origins—including the Galaxy Starfall Pills and other materials.

Once these resources are depleted, the amount of Immortal Origin obtained will be significantly reduced.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he spoke, "With the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Vessel, Immortal Origin has become an indispensable strategic resource for us." "From now on, when distributing allowances to our clansmen, we shall no longer provide Immortal Origin. Instead, we will primarily grant Immortal Pills, Immortal Herbs, and Immortal Treasures."

Within the Immortal Alliance, we must also promote the use of Alliance Merit as a currency for transactions. The merit exchange repository must be stocked with ample immortal treasures and spiritual materials, striving to draw the immortal resources of all major factions into our grasp.

"Very well."

Chen Changxuan nodded slowly, committing this matter to memory.

Eldrin spoke at length, and only after clarifying the future plans for the family did he finally say, "Although in the long run, we can obtain a considerable amount of Immortal Origin."

"But in the short term, we still need a sum of celestial source to expedite the advancement of your Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root)." Upon hearing this, Lyra (Person Name) pondered briefly and said, "What do you intend to do?"

"I am prepared to venture into the 7 Mysteries Blessed Land."

Eldrin spoke lightly, then added with a smile, "That 7 Mysteries Daoist oversees a large immortal source mine. It stands to reason he must possess quite a few immortal sources in his possession."
