Chapter 264 Exchanging for Jia Mu(Proper Noun) Earth Vein

Seeing their silence, Percival gritted his teeth and declared, "This object holds extraordinary significance to this old man. Should you all relinquish it, I am willing to forfeit my share of the spiritual mountain and earth vein revenues in the Scorchsun County."

Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly before he finally spoke. "Let us give this Thunderbolt Golden Sun Halberd to Fellow Daoist Pan."

Seeing Eldrin about to speak, the others immediately abandoned their thoughts.

He contributed the most in this battle, and the Chen Family alone had sent 5 Purple Mansions.

Among those present, the major Purple Manor immortal clans such as Bianzhou and Varen (Person Name) were clearly aligned with Eldrin (Person Name), and thus voiced no objections.

Among the many Purple Mansions today, none could rival him in terms of combat prowess, battle achievements, or status—not even Patriarch Fang of the ninth-tier Purple Mansion, who stood half a head shorter in stature.

At this moment, his spoken word would carry the weight of finality, determining the fate of the Thunderbolt Golden Sun Halberd.

Of the 2 remaining treasures, both the Cyan Mastiff Immortal Sword and the Blue Veined Hexagonal Shield were supreme offensive artifacts. After a moment of contemplation, Eldrin ultimately chose the Blue Veined Hexagonal Shield.

He lacked no offensive magical treasures; rather, the Blue-Veined Hexagonal Shield could not only serve as a protective treasure but would also prove more effective when weathering the lightning tribulation.

Within the clan, the number of Purple Mansion cultivators would gradually increase in the future. Moreover, individuals like Lila, Silas, Kael, and Ethan all possessed the potential to form Golden Cores. When the time came for them to face the Heavenly Tribulation, they would undoubtedly require a considerable number of tribulation-shielding treasures.

Seizing this opportunity to gather more third-grade superior magic treasures would be most suitable for helping them withstand the heavenly tribulation in the future.

Considering that merit points had other uses, he did not take the Qing'ao Immortal Sword Eldrin (Person Name), which was instead exchanged by Patriarch Fang.

The Fang family's merit points were also insufficient. In exchange, Patriarch Fang produced 2 5 Elements Treasure Crystals. Eldrin took 1 Geng Metal Crystal, intending to bring it back for Chen Caleb.

The quasi-fourth-grade inner core of the Azure Lion Mastiff could be refined into the 'Pseudo-Golden Core' that assists in breaking through to the Golden Core realm. Moreover, that Flesh and Blood Treasure Pill was also exceptionally remarkable. Eldrin (Person Name) decisively used all of his family's accumulated merit points to exchange for these 2 treasures.

After all, Eldrin had no use for the remaining low-to-mid-tier Grade-3 treasures. The clan controlled several Grade-3 earth veins and was hardly lacking in Grade-3 natural treasures. If other Purple Mansion cultivators wanted low-to-mid-tier Grade-3 magic treasures, they could always request the Old Patriarch to forge them.

However, Eldrin had the family spend a considerable sum to purchase the flesh and blood of 3 Core Formation realm demonic beasts.

Since Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name) began preaching the Dao, he had grown increasingly aware of the paramount importance of physical form. Whether 1 could forge a stronger body would determine the possibility of breaking through to the Golden Core.

Among the many cultivation techniques of the Verdant Void Sect, there existed a body-tempering method known as the Verdant Void Body Refinement Art. To advance rapidly in this art, 1 needed to consume a significant amount of demon beast flesh or spiritual herbs.

Seizing the opportunity, he purchased several Zifu-level demon beasts' flesh and blood, enabling the clan's cultivators to begin practicing the Green Void Body Tempering Art.

After all these treasures had been exchanged, Lyra finally addressed the assembly, "Now that we have taken Scorched Sun Mountain, Jiaoyang County must also be reclaimed swiftly. Upon your return, immediately mobilize cultivators to clear out the practitioners in Jiaoyang County."

"Understood." The group nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Lyra added, "Regarding the spirit mountains of Scorched Sun County, aside from Scorched Sun Mountain, you may distribute them as you see fit."

"Those clans who have obtained spirit mountains must provide spirit stones as compensation, to be distributed according to their contributions in this battle."

Upon hearing that spirit mountains could be exchanged, everyone was deeply intrigued. Jiao Yang County possessed precisely 3 Grand Aurora Realm-level spirit veins.

In addition to Scorched Sun Mountain (Location) and the third-grade superior earth vein underground, there were also the 2 third-grade spirit veins once possessed by the Pan Family.

As a powerful immortal clan with a cultivator at the Purple Palace, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm), the Pan Clan once possessed 2 third-grade spirit veins, both of which reached the mid-tier of the third grade.

In addition, there was also a third-tier lower-grade Eldrin (Wood Attribute) Earth Vein.

The old clan leader pondered for a moment before finally speaking, "The spiritual vein located at Bamboo (Person Name) Peak, where the Jia Wood Earth Vein resides, should be granted to our Chen Family."

"Our Chen family has contributed the most, so exchanging for this spiritual mountain is only fitting, is it not?"

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this, offering no objections.

The Chen Family had 5 Purple Palace cultivators in their ranks, including 2 at the Purple Palace, Late Stage. In terms of contributions, even the combined efforts of the Xu and Fang families couldn’t measure up, let alone the other clans who lacked any cultivators at the Purple Palace, Late Stage.

Eldrin remained expressionless. The Chu Kingdom possessed only 2 Eldrin Wood Earth Veins. With the acquisition of this particular vein, the family's future generations specializing in wood spiritual roots would find their cultivation significantly smoother.

Logically speaking, even if no compensation were offered, others might not necessarily complain, given that the Chen Clan had contributed the most in this battle.

However, he was not 1 to be overly greedy. Having claimed such substantial benefits, it was only right to offer some compensation to the others. A person who hoards everything alone would ultimately find themselves abandoned by all, with no 1 to lend a hand in times of crisis.

After a moment of contemplation, he added, "As compensation, our Chen Clan will offer 200,000 spirit stones in exchange. Distribute them according to your military merits."

"In that case, we offer our deepest gratitude."

Hearing this, everyone revealed faint smiles.

The remaining mid-grade third-level spirit vein was secured by the Qian Clan. Though this spiritual mountain lacked a third-level earth vein, the Qian Clan’s accumulated merits fell short. To claim this sacred peak, they paid a staggering 300,000 spirit stones.

After distributing these benefits, Lyra (Person Name) dismissed the assembly.

Before taking his leave, the Patriarch of the Fang Clan couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Jiang, might you be using the inner core of the Azure Mane Lion King to refine a Golden Core Formation Pill (Spiritual Object)?”

“Golden Core Formation Pill (Spiritual Object)。”

Hearing this, the crowd halted their steps, their expressions turning attentive.

The Golden Core Formation Pill (Spiritual Object) was of immeasurable value. Each time this treasure appeared, it would fetch a price of over 1,000,000 spirit stones. Everyone present was utterly captivated.

As internal members of the Heavenly Ruins Alliance, they should in principle have priority access to purchase the treasure if Lyra (Person Name) successfully refines the Golden Core Formation Pill (Spiritual Object).

Like Xavier (Person Name) and Patriarch Fang, both Elders of Purple Palace, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm), they were backed by families with centuries-old legacies. If they were willing to severely deplete their foundational resources, they could theoretically gather 2,000,000 spirit stones to purchase 1.

Hearing their words, Lyra’s brow furrowed slightly. After a moment of contemplation, she said, “I do intend to refine a Golden Core Formation Pill.”

However, Elara (Person Name) had now cultivated to the 8th layer of the Violet Mansion and would attempt a breakthrough to the Golden Core realm within 30 years.

She pondered for a moment, realizing that both she and Eldrin still required vast resources for their cultivation. After some deliberation, she finally said, "Very well. If we succeed in refining 3 Golden Core Formation Pills this time, I shall offer 1 or 2 for sale."

"Prepare your spirit stones or the essence of the 5 Elements."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the several individuals shifted slightly. Xavier and Patriarch Fang, both cultivators at the 8th or 9th level of the Zi Mansion Realm, revealed ecstatic delight on their faces.

Especially Xavier (Person Name), who was merely 3 100 and 20 years old. Should he seize this opportunity to attempt a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment realm within the next 30 years, there might genuinely be a certain likelihood of him advancing to the Golden Core realm in the future.

Chapter 1: The Reborn Eldrin The air in the Nether Abyss trembled as a crimson streak tore across the ashen sky. Upon a jagged cliff stood a figure in azure robes, his eyes burning with the accumulated wisdom of millennia. This was Eldrin, once the revered Heavenly Sword Sovereign, now reborn in the mortal realm after his celestial tribulation failed. "9 Revolutions Profound Art - still trapped at the seventh stage after 3 lifetimes," Eldrin murmured, his voice carrying the weight of endless cycles. Below the precipice, the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss hovered, its blade humming with restrained power that made the very space around it distort. A thunderous roar echoed as a massive shadow descended. "Eldrin! Your arrogance in challenging the Heavenly Dao has brought ruin upon yourself!" bellowed a crimson-scaled behemoth, each of its movements causing mountains to quake. Eldrin's lips curved into a faint smile. "Brother Crimson Scale, after 8 100 years, you're still as impatient as ever." His fingers danced through intricate seals, summoning 30-2 1000 spirit stones that formed a brilliant constellation around him. The battle that ensued shattered the firmament. Eldrin's sword arts weaved through reality itself, while Crimson Scale's demonic energy blackened the heavens. When the final clash came, it consumed nearly a 1000 miles of terrain, reducing peaks to dust. Badly wounded, Eldrin utilized the forbidden Blood Soul Transmigration Technique. "My cultivation may have fallen to the Golden Core realm," he whispered through bloodied lips, "but my dao heart remains unbroken." --- Chapter 2: The Azure Cloud Sect Eldrin awakened in a modest chamber, his consciousness now inhabiting the body of a outer sect disciple. "This vessel can barely contain my soul," he sighed, examining the feeble meridians. "Not even at the Qi Refining stage." Memories flooded his mind - the previous owner of this body had been bullied to death for failing to deliver his monthly quota of spirit herbs. "A dozen or so years old, with such tragic circumstances," Eldrin mused. "Very well, I shall carry your karma." The following day, during the sect's allocation of resources, a sneering youth blocked his path. "Well if it isn't the trash who can't even gather herbs properly! Hand over your spirit stones and I might let you pass." Eldrin's gaze sharpened. "In my 10 1000 years of cultivation, never have I encountered such insolence." His finger twitched, and an imperceptible energy strand sent the bully stumbling backward. The onlookers gasped. "How did he...?" "Senior Brother Wang is at the third level of Qi Refining!" Eldrin simply retrieved his allocation - 20-some spirit stones and a basic cultivation manual. "The Azure Cloud Sect has fallen far indeed," he noted, observing the deteriorated techniques. That night, under the moonlight, Eldrin began reconstructing his foundation. The surrounding spiritual energy swirled into a visible vortex, countless energy particles converging toward him. By dawn, he had broken through to the first level of Qi Refining. "The Heavenly Dao Scripture remains the supreme cultivation method," he concluded, sensing the pure energy circulating through his meridians. "Though this body's potential is limited, with sufficient resources..." His thoughts were interrupted by a gentle knock. "Eldrin? Are you alright? I heard what happened yesterday." A young maiden stood at his door, her eyes filled with genuine concern - the only disciple who had ever shown him kindness in his previous life. Eldrin smiled. It seemed this new journey might hold unexpected interesting developments.
