Chapter 527. Fifth-Rank World Spirit Peach Tree (Spiritual Object)
Eldrin’s gaze swept across the landscape, and he immediately noticed that the 10-mile peach forest had transformed into a grove of spiritual peach trees, with not a single mundane tree left in sight.
The advancement of these 3,000 peach trees was within Eldrin's expectations. After all, this was a fifth-grade spirit vein. Nourished by such vast spiritual energy, it stood to reason that thousands of first-grade spirit trees would emerge, along with 3 fourth-grade spirit trees.
Not to mention, these spirit trees had been growing for over 4 100 years, so it was only natural for them to advance in rank.
However, no matter what, these spirit peach trees were genuinely precious spiritual trees. The peaches they bore, though far less potent than those from the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), still constituted premium cultivation resources.
"With these spirit peach trees, our clan's cultivators will have significantly more resources for their training. This will help narrow the gap between our Chen Clan and those ancient Elysian families with Nascent Soul elders."
Eldrin contemplated this inwardly, then turned his gaze toward the most ancient and vigorous spirit peach tree standing before him.
Heaven and Earth Spirit Peach Tree.
The spirit peach tree before them stood no more than 10 feet tall, yet every leaf and branch contained innate Dao patterns, embodying the natural laws of heaven and earth.
This Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) was truly astonishing. Every leaf and branch contained spiritual treasure-grade dao patterns. Plucking even a single twig would yield heavenly materials and earthly treasures of supreme-grade magic treasure caliber.
If 1 were to cut off a single branch, it would be sufficient to refine into a spiritual treasure—a magic treasure capable of reaching the level of a spirit artifact.
However, Eldrin dared not pluck it by force. If it were merely a branch being broken off, it could slowly grow back over time,
However, there were only 9 branches of this Heaven-Earth Spirit Peach Tree. Once 1 was cut off, it would be permanently lost—irreplaceable—and would consequently affect the future yield of spirit peaches.
Before his eyes, the 9 branches of the Heaven Earth Spirit Peach Tree bore only 9 spirit peaches in total, yet each fruit contained immensely abundant spiritual energy, along with a trace of the exceedingly precious Primordial Force.
Eldrin plucked a spirit peach and, after some calculations, exclaimed excitedly to Lyra, "This Fifth-Rank World Spirit Peach Tree blooms once every 30-3 years, bears fruit over the next 30-3 years, and finally ripens after another 30-3 years."
When fully ripened, it bears 9 Heaven and Earth Spirit Peaches. If a Nascent Soul True Lord consumes them...
His words paused abruptly, his face lighting up with immense delight as he exclaimed, "Even an ordinary True Monarch who consumes it would gain cultivation equivalent to 1 100 years of rigorous training."
"Is that truly the case?"
Upon hearing this, Lyra (Person Name) also revealed a look of pleasant surprise.
The couple were both established in the Great Luo Nascent Soul stage and had simultaneously cultivated 5 Life-Bound Magical Treasures, consuming far more spiritual energy than ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
Ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarch cultivators typically require some 3 100 years to advance a single layer of cultivation without consuming precious fifth-tier spiritual treasures, yet they needed a full 6 100 years to achieve the same.
But with this Heaven Earth Spirit Peach Tree, wouldn't they only need to consume 6 Heaven Earth Spirit Peaches to advance by 1 cultivation level?
Eldrin nodded, then shook his head and said, "Although this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root is indeed a supreme treasure, it does come with limitations. It takes us 30-3 years to fully refine a single 1."
3 decades.
Lyra's eyes flickered upon hearing this. After a long pause, she nodded and said, "Even so, if we refine 1 every 100 years, we could still gain 3 100 years of cultivation."
"In that case, we'll be able to advance 1 cultivation level within 2 100 years—that's already more than 3 times faster than before."
Hearing her words, Eldrin also revealed a joyful expression.
He plucked the 9 Heaven-Earth Spirit Peaches and handed 3 of them to Lyra (Person Name), saying, "Within 1 100 years, we can only refine 6. The remaining 3 we may experiment with to study fifth-rank pill formulas."
"That is indeed a brilliant idea."
Across the world, formulas for fifth-tier pills and above remained exceedingly rare. For alchemists of their caliber who had reached the fifth tier, further advancement in the Art of Alchemy required breaking from convention to forge their own paths.
The Heaven-Earth Spirit Peach before them was the most accessible fifth-tier spiritual material, making it truly ideal for refining spirit elixirs.
Since Spirit Isle Lake (Location) had advanced, the 2 moved back from Green Lotus Isle to Spirit Isle Lake (Location).
Using the captured spiritual treasure 'Starmoon Vessel' as an array tool, they set up a fifth-tier formation at Spirit Isle Lake (Location) and began their secluded cultivation within Spirit Isle Lake (Location).
In the days that followed, aside from refining the spirit peaches, Eldrin and his wife devoted most of their efforts to enhancing their natal spirit treasures.
Lyra began her efforts to advance the fourth Natal Spirit Treasure, the Ji Earth Kun-Yuan Disk. In his leisure moments, Eldrin focused primarily on decipherring the Spirit Treasure chapter within the Imperial Earth Dominion Sutra.
For many years, he had been deducing the mysteries of the Earth-Sovereign Bell. Through his state of celestial communion, he successfully unraveled its Spirit Treasure chapter in merely 3 years.
After completing this step, Eldrin began the process of advancing the Earth Sovereign Bell.
The advancement material for the Earthen Emperor's Bell was the shell of a Bixi turtle. This treasure possessed dual attributes of metal and earth, making it the most suitable material for forging defensive magical treasures.
Eldrin spent 3 years refining it with Solar True Flame, fusing it into the Earth Sovereign Bell. He then infused it with 5 Elements Essence worth 10,000,000 spirit stones, finally succeeding in elevating this treasure.
After advancing the Earth-Sovereign Bell, he spent another 3 years elevating both the Earth-Sovereign Bell and the Yin-Yang Void Mirror to the level of mid-grade spirit treasures before finally ceasing his efforts.
And with the advancement of the Eldrin Earth Sovereign Bell into a spirit treasure, he now possessed 4 innate spirit treasures, leaving only the Eldrin Water Azure Lotus Throne yet to ascend.
The main body of that Ren Water Azure Lotus Throne was forged from a third-grade treasure lotus. Although it had been infused with a vast quantity of precious treasures, the lotus body itself had now become its greatest weakness.
To advance it to the fifth rank, 1 must first obtain the exceedingly rare fifth-rank treasure lotus.
The Chen Clan currently possessed no fifth-grade treasure lotus. However, there was a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) known as the 'Creation Verdant Jade Lotus' in Qinglian Province that was on the verge of ascending.
After the Jade Lotus of Creation advances, it will shed its seedpod and begin to grow anew, ultimately yielding a fifth-grade azure lotus.
Unfortunately, this was merely a single plant. If both Eldrin and Lyra wished to advance further, they would still need to find a way to obtain another precious treasure lotus in the future.
Getting back to the main story, after he advanced to the level of spirit treasure, he began deducing cultivation techniques.
His accumulation of cultivation techniques had long been sufficient. Now that he had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, deducing the corresponding cultivation methods was as natural as water flowing downhill.
In just 7 or 8 years, he had deduced and elevated all 5 cultivation methods to the Nascent Soul, 3rd Tier (Cultivation Realm).
He then temporarily halted his deductions. His accumulation of several 100 years had been entirely depleted. To continue deducing the cultivation technique, he would now have to invest an immense amount of time—a long and arduous process lay ahead.
Given his aptitude, he estimated it would take him at least a 100 years just to cultivate all 5 techniques to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
At present, the Ji Clan's Patriarch was on the verge of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. This was not the time to expend vast amounts of time refining cultivation techniques.
Yet in merely 7 or 8 years, he had created 5 distinct techniques for the Nascent Soul, 3rd Tier (Cultivation Realm)—a feat so astonishing it would surely make countless True Lords gasp in disbelief.
