Chapter 1398 : A Fortune in Immortal Sources

Lyra Jiang also nodded slightly and said, "Low-grade Immortal Treasures, rare objects, and Spirit Medicines are of little use to us now. We should exchange them all for Immortal Sources and Heavenly Silver."

"That can be arranged," Eldrin Chen agreed with a nod. "I will have the Immortal Sources and Heavenly Silver held by cultivators within the Immortal Alliance all converted into Merit Points."

"Then, we can price these Immortal Treasures, Immortal Herbs, and rare objects in Merit Points, allowing them to be exchanged freely using Merit Points."

Lyra Jiang nodded again and said, "Looking at it this way, we should be able to obtain nearly one million Immortal Sources."

Mentioning this, Eldrin Chen also gave a slight nod of agreement.

Generally speaking, the value of one hundred Immortal Sources is roughly equivalent to one Lower-Grade Immortal Treasure. Therefore, one million Immortal Sources could purchase ten thousand Lower-Grade Immortal Treasures. The value of one Lower-Grade World-Opening Treasure is approximately equivalent to one thousand Lower-Grade Immortal Treasures.

This one million Immortal Sources, when converted, could likely purchase ten Lower-Grade World-Opening Treasures, representing an astonishingly vast fortune. Of course, World-Opening Treasures are extremely precious, and purchasing them with Immortal Sources often incurs a premium of twenty to thirty percent.

However, what Eldrin Chen wished to purchase was World-Initiating Qi [the primordial energy used to initiate the creation of a new world]. The price of World-Initiating Qi is typically around eighty percent of that of a World-Opening Treasure.

Thus, Eldrin Chen estimated that this sum of Immortal Sources could likely purchase around ten portions of World-Initiating Qi.

Adding this to the original five thousand plus Incense Fire Celestial Silver and the six hundred twenty thousand Immortal Sources, the total should be sufficient to purchase approximately twenty portions of World-Initiating Qi.

With this thought, Eldrin Chen spoke, "For us, World-Initiating Qi [the primordial energy used to nurture spiritual roots] can cultivate World-Opening Spiritual Root [a supreme-grade spiritual root of immense value]. Merely cultivating a single World-Opening Spiritual Root would increase its value by more than severalfold."

"Therefore, regarding World-Initiating Qi, the more we acquire, the better. We should buy as much as we possibly can."

He elaborated methodically before concluding decisively, "We can take a portion of the clan's Supreme Grade Immortal Treasure [a treasure of the highest immortal grade], the World-Opening Treasure [a treasure capable of initiating a world], and even some World-Opening Spiritual Root to trade for World-Initiating Qi."

"This is a profitable transaction. We should undoubtedly acquire as much as we are able."

Upon hearing this, the others nodded slightly in agreement.

The value of a single World-Opening Spiritual Root, even one of the lowest grade, exceeds that of World-Initiating Qi by more than ten times.

Selling one World-Opening Spiritual Root could yield over ten strands of World-Initiating Qi. Such profit would likely make even a Heavenly Immortal Paragon [a supreme immortal cultivator] envious.

Considering this, Lyra Jiang spoke up, "The news of your ability to cultivate World-Opening Spiritual Root must never be leaked. Otherwise, it could invite great calamity."

"I share that concern,"

Eldrin Chen nodded and continued, "Fortunately, most of our World-Opening Spiritual Root will be planted within the Earth Immortal World [a personal realm cultivated by an Earth Immortal], hidden from the eyes of others."

"If that is the case, the fewer World-Opening Spiritual Root [a legendary spiritual root said to possess the power to open up new worlds] we sell, the smaller the probability of discovery."

"Indeed." Verdant Consort nodded, her expression grave as she said, "It seems this act of selling the World-Opening Spiritual Root can only be performed once. At least before our breakthrough to the Heaven Immortal [the Immortal Realm, a legendary state of being transcending mortality], we must not sell this treasure again."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod of agreement, then smiled faintly. "During the previous Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic heavenly calamity that reshapes eras], I seized two World-Opening Spiritual Root from the Celestial Alligator [a powerful, ancient species of demonic beast] clan. It appears they are perfectly suited to be sold off now."

"Although this may earn us the enmity of the Great Wilderness Alligator Clan, the origins of these World-Opening Spiritual Root can be traced, which reduces the risk of our own exposure."

The others nodded slightly upon hearing this. Lyra Jiang spoke up, "The Great Wilderness Alligator Clan possesses only four Earth Immortal Progenitor [Earth Immortal realm cultivators, powerful beings who have attained a profound connection with the world]."

"Even though one of them is an Eighth Level Earth Immortal, given our combined strength, we should be more than capable of handling him."

Eldrin Chen listened and gave another nod. "Then this matter is settled."

With the conclusion of the Longevity Banquet [a grand feast celebrating a significant lifespan milestone], Eldrin Chen resumed his life of secluded cultivation.

In the following days, he divided his time between consolidating his cultivation base, practicing the arts of Alchemy [the art of refining spiritual pills and elixirs] and Artifact Forging [the art of crafting enchanted weapons and treasures], and frequently contemplating the various ancient scriptures seized during the great battles.

During this period, he successfully refined two cauldrons of Heaven-Mending Pill [a legendary pill said to possess the power to mend flaws in one's foundation or even the heavens themselves].

After Lila and Yvonne the Violet Consort consumed the Treasure Pill, the Ascension Dao Fruit [a mystical fruit that embodies the essence of a cultivator's Dao path] was finally partially replenished, reaching the Great Perfection Realm [the pinnacle state of a cultivation realm].

Next, as long as they consumed the Eight Calamity Dao Source [a source of Dao essence refined through eight great tribulations], there was a possibility they could completely mend their foundational roots and cultivate all three types of Heaven-Opening Root [a supreme-grade spiritual root talent that opens the path to the heavens]. Regarding this, Eldrin Chen advised them to pause and not rush to immediately attempt to repair their foundations.

During this Great Tribulation [a cataclysmic event of fate and destiny], the two women's gains could be described as immense. They had successively consumed several Dao Source [objects containing the pure essence of the Dao], greatly enhancing their comprehension of cultivation.

Eldrin Chen believed they had not yet fully digested these gains. If they waited another several tens of thousands of years, thoroughly assimilating this harvest, the likelihood of successfully completing the third type of Three Types of Dao Fruits [a supreme divine ability manifesting three distinct Dao fruits] would increase significantly.

After refining the Heaven-Mending Pill [a legendary pill capable of mending heavenly flaws], he used the thirty-plus Vast Sea Divine Pearl [divine pearls containing the essence of the vast sea] provided by the Glazed Blessed Land to refine them all into External Elixir [an elixir that enhances cultivation from outside the body].

In total, there were thirty Immortal Rank Supreme Grade External Elixir [a supreme-grade elixir at the Immortal rank] and seven Eighth Rank External Elixir [an elixir of the Eighth Rank]. According to the contract, he gave the Glazed Blessed Land thirty percent, amounting to nine Peerless External Elixir and two Eighth Rank External Elixir.

Of the remaining External Elixir, Eldrin Chen kept five Eighth Rank External Elixir. Of the twenty-one Seventh Rank External Elixir, Eldrin Chen kept eleven. These External Elixir were distributed, one each, to Caelan Chen, Xander Dao Chen, Xander Chen, and Xander Qing Chen.

Furthermore, there were more than enough for others including Sylas Ye, Alistair Lu, Ysander, Lila, Yvonne the Violet Consort, Kael Chen, Qiyuan Chen, and Ethan Chen.

The remaining ten elixirs were left by Eldrin Chen with Divine Lord Glaze, exchanged for ten invaluable Heaven-Opening Marvel [marvelous objects that assist in opening the path to heavenly realms]. He planned to use these to purchase World-Initiating Qi [the primordial Qi that initiated the creation of a world].

By the time Eldrin Chen finished all these tasks, he discovered over six thousand years had passed. The Barter Convention [a grand gathering for the exchange of rare cultivation resources] was now not far off.

On this day, they waited for Sky Abyss Daoist [a Daoist cultivator whose title references the celestial abyss] to arrive.

Eldrin Chen gathered his possessions, took Verdant Consort and Lyra Jiang with him, and along with friends such as Earth Spring and Six Stars, hurriedly set off for the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven [a mystical realm or paradise associated with a divine abyss]. This Barter Convention [a grand gathering for the exchange of rare cultivation resources] was being hosted by the Human Race within the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven, located deep within the Divine Abyss Sea [the Sea of the Divine Abyss], an exceedingly distant place from the Abyssal Sea Region. Initially, Earth Spring Ancient Ancestor had wanted to use the Void Gate [a portal that traverses vast distances through void space] of the Flowing Fire Star Palace to get there. However, after a moment of contemplation, Eldrin Chen spoke.

"After the karmic entanglement of those past events, a hidden rift has grown between me and the Flowing Fire Star Palace. I fear they might seize this opportunity to scheme against us."

Speaking to this point, Eldrin Chen continued, "I possess the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void. Reaching the Divine Abyss Sea will not consume an excessive amount of time. It is not necessarily required that we rely on a Void Gate."

Upon hearing this, Earth Spring Ancient Ancestor nodded slightly and said, "That was an oversight on my part."

The Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven was located far within the Divine Abyss Land [the Divine Abyss Immortal Domain]. That Divine Abyss Sea lay at the eastern fringe of the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea [the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea], separated from the borders of the Abyssal Sea Region by an immeasurably vast distance.

Even an ordinary Earth Immortal Progenitor [a cultivator who has attained the Earth Immortal realm, a high level of power] would require several hundred years of flight to reach the Divine Abyss Sea.

Yet Eldrin Chen, with his Yin-Yang Void Realm [a magical treasure mirror capable of manipulating the forces of Yin, Yang, and Void], flew all the way to the outskirts of the Divine Abyss Sea in less than two years.

"Is this... the Divine Abyss Grotto-Heaven?"

Gazing at the sea before him, Eldrin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. The Divine Abyss Sea before them lay within the Boundless Celestial Sea [the Boundless Celestial Sea]. It resembled a Primordial Divine Abyss [a primordial divine chasm] cleaving heaven and earth, splitting the entire sea region in two.
