Chapter 1348 : The Immortals' Gains

At this point, Eldrin continued, "Within the spirit herb garden, I have planted several Heaven-Mending Herbs, which have now reached the eighth-tier realm."

"In a few days, I shall kindle the furnace to refine several batches of Heaven-Mending Elixirs. Once completed, I shall reserve 1 or 2 for you."

"Whether you can mend your foundation and reshape your Primordial Dao Fruit now depends entirely on your own destiny."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ethan did not immediately agree. Instead, he pondered for a moment and said, "The Heaven-Mending Elixir is far too precious. It would be better reserved for my 2 aunts."

Eldrin understood that Chen Ethan was referring to Lady Yanzi and Lila. He shook his head slightly, a touch of warmth in his voice as he remarked, "It's rare that you still remember your aunts."

"However, the 2 of them still fall somewhat short. Even an eighth-tier Heaven-Mending Elixir (Spiritual Medicine) can only partially restore them. Without the aid of a Dao Origin (Heavenly Treasure) that has weathered 7 heavenly tribulations or more, it would be nearly impossible to reconstruct the third Dao Fruit (Cultivation Base)."

At this point, Eldrin chuckled again, "Besides, would you dare look down on your uncle's alchemy skills?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ethan couldn't help but scratch his head before replying somewhat awkwardly, "Then I must express my gratitude for Elder Uncle's generous favor."

Having said this, the 2 of them fell silent.

Seeing this, Eldrin retrieved a treasure gourd from his sleeve and handed it over, saying, "Over the years, the Jade Marrow Golden Shoots within the Immortal Alliance have ripened 1 after another. I fired up the alchemical furnace and refined several batches of Jade Marrow Golden Pills."

"Take these and cultivate the Primordial Chaos True Body with all haste. Return to me only when you have achieved it."

Chen Ethan took the treasure gourd, and with just a subtle sweep of his divine sense, he discovered it contained a full 10 Jade Marrow Golden Pills, causing his heart to tremble faintly in that instant.

This Jade Marrow Golden Elixir was a supreme-grade immortal pill of astonishing value; a single pill could forge a Body Cultivator at the peak of the Ascension Realm.

Eldrin gave him 10 spirit stones in 1 go, clearly demonstrating his utmost support.

At this thought, a wave of warmth washed over Chen Ethan’s heart. Without hesitation, he dropped to his knees and said respectfully, “The support you have given me, Uncle, is something I fear I can never repay in full.”

"Silly child."

Eldrin shook his head, a faint sense of relief welling up in his heart.

As early as when Eldrin was building his foundation, Chen Ethan began cultivating under his guidance, becoming 1 of the first few in the clan to achieve self-initiated foundation establishment.

Now, after tens of thousands of years had passed, their bond could not be called as close as that between father and son, but they had become 1 of each other's most intimate companions.

Eldrin had always regarded him as his disciple, even as a half-son. Witnessing Chen Ethan successfully reconnect to the path of cultivation naturally filled his heart with profound relief.

He helped Ethan (Person Name) to his feet and said, "Continue your secluded cultivation. Strive to attain the Primordial Chaos True Body within a 1000 years, so you may share some of my burdens."

"Mm." Chen Ethan nodded, rising to his feet. "Ethan will surely live up to your expectations, Uncle." With these words spoken, neither had more to say.

Eldrin watched as Chen Ethan departed, then made his way into the immortal herb garden.

Within the current herb garden, after the continuous cultivation by the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization), it was now filled with numerous rare immortal herbs.

Among them was a vast expanse of dazzling golden bamboo shoots, numbering in the thousands, each 1 shimmering with brilliant golden light, all thriving within the immortal-grade domain.

These golden bamboo shoots were the Jade-Brain Golden Shoots that the Chen Immortal Clan had cultivated for many years.

Among these bamboo shoots, the majority of Jade Marrow Golden Shoots had only just entered the realm of immortal-grade, with a select few having reached the level of superior immortal herbs.

However, the sheer scale of several 1000 bamboo shoots could still be described as utterly astonishing, constituting the largest asset within the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization)'s spiritual herb garden.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, over the next 100 1000 years, these Jade Marrow Golden Shoots would gradually mature. The astonishing wealth they would eventually yield might even surpass the output of an entire blessed land.

Once the Jade Marrow Golden Elixir is successfully refined, it will become a rare and invaluable resource, whether sold off or used to nurture the clan members.

"This Jade Marrow Golden Bamboo Shoot can be cultivated in such massive quantities—truly worthy of being 1 of the foundational legacies of the former Demon Empire's Heavenly Court."

Gazing upon these Jade Marrow Golden Shoots, Eldrin felt profoundly gratified.

However, his current purpose was not for the Jade Marrow Golden Shoots, so he bypassed the spirit herb garden and walked into a grove of immortal herbs.

These immortal herbs were all precious medicines cultivated by the clan for many years, with the most valuable being 3 Grade-8 Heaven-Mending Pills.

Among the 3 current Grade-8 Heaven-Mending Herbs, 2 have fully matured and are ready for harvesting, while the third is not far from reaching maturity.

"In recent days, the members of the Immortal Alliance have emerged from seclusion 1 after another, freeing up my hands at last." Gazing upon these Heaven-Mending Pills, Eldrin murmured softly to himself.

He retrieved 1 of the Heaven-Mending Herbs and proceeded to the alchemy chamber, commencing the refinement of the legendary Eighth-Level Heaven-Mending Elixir.

This Eighth-Level Heaven-Mending Elixir was a rare eighth-grade immortal pill, and the difficulty of its refinement could hardly be overstated.

Fortunately, Eldrin possessed the alchemy inheritance from the Setting Sun Blessed Land and the Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root) Immortal Sect, while also having obtained the World-Creating Immortal Scriptures from the Ancient Azure Stream Sect and the Master of 1000 Dragon Lake.

Over the years, through his profound contemplation, his alchemy skills had unknowingly approached the threshold of the eighth rank.

At this moment, Eldrin began pill refinement. Relying on his cultivation comparable to the late-stage Earth Immortal realm, the alchemical process proceeded with remarkable speed.

In just 3 100 years, he successfully refined the Heaven-Mending Elixir, producing 2 pills in a single batch.

"Only 2 pills," he murmured, a wry smile touching his lips. "It seems my spiritual power isn't yet sufficient to safely refine eighth-rank celestial pills—this was far too reckless."

Eldrin sighed inwardly, a faint trace of regret coloring his thoughts.

With his current cultivation base, comparable to a late-stage Earth Immortal, and his mastery of alchemy, his success rate for refining a low-grade eighth-rank immortal pill should logically exceed 30%.

Alas, his Dao Fruit had yet to fully mature, and his control over his own spiritual power remained insufficient, resulting in a significant drop in the final pill formation rate.

"The remaining 2 Heaven-Mending Herbs should be left for a few more years. I shall attempt the refinement after breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm."

With these thoughts in mind, Eldrin emerged from his secluded cultivation chamber. "Husband."

Emerging from his seclusion chamber, he found Lila and Yan Zijie had been waiting for quite some time.

After years apart, both Lila and Yan Ziji had refined supreme-grade Dao Origins. Among them, Lila had cultivated the Ice Soul Immortal Body, while Yan Ziji had comprehended the Purple Flame Rule—both having stepped into the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm.

Seeing this, Eldrin felt quite relieved and asked, "Have Lyra and Qingji emerged from their secluded cultivation?"

"They have yet to emerge from seclusion."

Lila shook her head and said, "But I estimate it won't be long now."

Eldrin nodded slightly. After acquainting himself with the affairs of the immortal alliance, he realized that the majority of its members had already emerged from seclusion.

Both the Wayfarer of the Celestial Abyss and the Nether Lord of the Ancient Ruins achieved the perfection of their cultivation 2 100 years ago.

Among them, the Nether Lord of the Ancient Ruins had already broken through to the Earth Immortal realm 2 100 years ago, opening 9 layers of heaven and earth in a single breakthrough.

However, the Heavenly Abyss Daoist had not broken through to the Earth Immortal realm. Though his Star Palace had reached perfection, it seemed he was still waiting for something.

Riji, Earthspring Patriarch, and Skywind Daoist had all made significant progress in their cultivation, breaking through to the second level of the Earth Immortal realm.
