Chapter 561 Setting Up the 5 Veins Nascent Soul Formation (Formation)

Alas, no 1 responded for quite some time. Instead, many inquired about how to purchase the Life-Extending Elixir, leaving Eldrin deeply disappointed.

With no other choice, Eldrin exchanged a Longevity Elixir and his Solitary Sovereign Sword for a fifth-tier defensive spirit treasure and 3 fifth-tier heaven-and-earth treasures, finally stepping down from the platform.

Seeing that Eldrin had failed to obtain the Tribulation Transcendence Flower, Lyra's expression darkened as she said, "With over a 1000 Nascent Soul cultivators present, could it be that none actually possess a Tribulation Transcendence Flower?"

"I don't think so."

Eldrin shook his head and smiled wryly, "Our cultivation is merely at the Nascent Soul, Early Stage, and as newly ascended Nascent Soul cultivators, by the time we took the stage it was already near the end of the exchange assembly. All the truly valuable treasures had long been claimed by the first few dozen cultivators who came forward."

"We'll see next time. If all else fails, the few Tribulation Blooms our family cultivates will mature sooner or later."

Lyra frowned, a trace of unwillingness in her voice. "I'll ask Freya another day to see if they have any channels to acquire the Tribulation Transcendence Flower."

Although they hadn't managed to obtain the most desired Tribulation Transcendence Flower, the unexpected acquisition of the Nirvana Fruit (Spiritual Object) meant both of them had gained something worthwhile from their endeavor.

After the Trading Assembly concluded, they immediately returned to Ji Province.

Arriving at Greenlotus Isle, Eldrin immediately sought out the old clan leader. Upon seeing him, Chen Changxuan inquired, "How went your journey?"

"Quite smooth." Eldrin nodded, informing him of the acquired treasures before adding, "Prepare the materials. We shall first set up the 5 Veins Nascent Soul Formation."

"I have tasked Lior with handling this matter."

The old clan leader said with a smile, "Over the years, the Chen family has gathered all the materials needed to set up the 5 Veins Nascent Soul Formation. All that remains is the crucial 5 Veins Spirit Jade."

Recalling the wondrous applications of the 5 Veins Nascent Soul Formation, the Elder Clan Leader's expression brightened with delight. After a moment of contemplation, he inquired further, "With these 2 strands of authentic Dao Qi obtained, how do you intend to allocate them?"

Upon hearing this, Eldrin's expression shifted subtly.

He pondered for a moment before continuing, "Within the clan, there are 6 or 7 Golden Core cultivators capable of wielding Earth Path Qi, yet few possess the seniority to merit its use."

"These 4 strands of Earth Path Qi shall naturally be prioritized for your and Elara's use."

Chen Changxuan’s brow twitched slightly, and he did not refuse. Even setting aside their personal ties, they were the most suitable candidates.

Over the years, Eldrin and Lyra had been immersed in secluded cultivation and arduous trials, leaving all affairs of the clan and the Celestial Ruins Alliance under the joint stewardship of him and Elara.

Eldrin (Person Name) had repeatedly been able to leave Jizhou (Place Name) to travel the world, primarily because he had the support of cultivators like the Old Patriarch and other clan members as his backbone. Otherwise, trapped within the spiritual mountains, he wouldn't have dared to venture out recklessly—let alone possess the means to journey across the lands.

Having contributed the most in numerous battles and having been pillars of strength since the early years, they were naturally the top candidates to receive the Earthly Dao Qi.

At this thought, Chen Changxuan asked, "What about the other 2?"

"Grant 1 to Silas," Lyra spoke up, then added, "Years ago, when Silas journeyed through The Vast Sea, he obtained treasures such as the 5 Veins Jade and the Earth Mother Qi."

"Come to think of it, 1 of the Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root) strands that Eldrin (Person Name) and I used for our breakthrough was actually procured by her."

"Although her current cultivation is only at the Golden Core 6th Layer, we should begin preparing for her breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage."

Eldrin nodded with a smile. "Let's keep that final ingredient for now. It might just be what Lyra and I need to refine authentic Dao Pills when we break through to the Mid Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm."

The old clan leader smiled faintly, then remarked, "By the way, now that we've obtained the Nirvana Fruit (Spiritual Object), preparations for refining the Nirvana Pool should commence. Where do you intend to situate the Nirvana Pool?"

"Let's place it at Spirit Isle Lake (Location)."

Eldrin declared, "The Nirvana Pool is our clan's ultimate heirloom treasure. Once fully forged, it shall remain indestructible for 10 1000 years. This embodies the true foundation of our lineage. It would be safest to house it within Spirit Isle Lake, where it can be safeguarded by the Green Abyss Sword."

"Very well." Chen Changxuan gave a slight nod. "I shall issue the orders for our clan and the Tianxu Alliance to procure the materials and gather all components needed to forge the Nirvana Pond."

Shortly after Chen Changxuan departed, Lior delivered the materials required to set up the 5 Veins Nascent Soul Formation to the Immortal Apricot Isle.

This treasure was prepared for clan cultivators specializing in fire-attribute techniques. The fifth-grade subterranean fire vein beneath Immortal Apricot Isle was nearing completion of its reconnection, making it an ideal location to deploy the Fire Vein Nascent Soul Formation Array.

Setting up the 5 Veins Nascent Soul Formation was not particularly complicated. Eldrin and Lyra worked together to refine the formation, and after 30-6 days of diligent effort, they successfully completed its deployment.

"Hmm."

Once the formation array was successfully laid, Eldrin suddenly noticed that several underground fire veins beneath the Immortal Apricot Isle blazed with intensified radiance, faintly converging toward complete unification.

Lyra (Person Name) also expressed surprise and delight, remarking, "I never imagined this 5 Veins Nascent Soul Formation (Formation) could also aid in gathering and restoring earth veins."

Eldrin observed carefully for a moment before remarking, "Magnus the Virtuous Lord possesses astonishing attainments in formation arrays. The method he pioneered for repairing earth veins and the technique of utilizing earth veins to form the Nascent Soul are fundamentally rooted in the same origin."

"Although the restoration array I modified based on local conditions differs from the original, its core essence remains largely unchanged. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that their combined effects yield results."

He spoke, unable to suppress a look of delight.

Regardless, the restoration progress of the earth vein has now accelerated significantly. It appears it can be fully restored within 10 years.

Once this fifth-order earth vein is restored, it will not only grant the Chen Clan a fifth-grade earth fire chamber, but also create a treasure trove capable of yielding fifth-grade heaven-and-earth spiritual treasures.

At this thought, he looked at the old clan leader and asked, "Elder Uncle, how is your vital energy recovery progressing?"

"We're still a bit short." Chen Changxuan shook his head. Understanding Eldrin's meaning, he continued, "Give me 20 more years, and my magic power will reach its peak. I'll attempt the Nascent Soul Realm breakthrough once more."

Eldrin nodded slightly. With the assistance of the underground fire vein within the Fire Vein Nascent Soul Formation, the likelihood of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage would be greatly enhanced.

After leaving the Immortal Apricot Island, Eldrin made another trip to the Green Lotus Isle, where he set up a Water Vein Nascent Soul Formation.

Without an underground earth vein, he simply set up an Earth Vein Nascent Soul Formation at the Lion Ridge, utilizing a top-grade, fourth-tier underground earth vein.

However, the earth vein of the fourth-tier subterranean stratum lacked sufficient power, and each use would significantly deplete its earth vein energy.

Once this Earth Vein Nascent Soul Formation is activated, whether it succeeds or not, no treasures can be nurtured within the earth vein for 3 100 years.

Moreover, excessive use could even cause the grade of the underground earth veins to degrade or even collapse completely.

Thus, setting up this formation at Earth Lion Ridge was merely a stopgap measure. If the Chen Clan were to acquire a fifth-grade earth vein in the future, it would have to be relocated.

After 3 more years of such busy waiting, Eldrin finally refined the spirit spring of Spirit Isle Lake into a Nirvana Pool, thus fully assimilating the gains from this journey.

In the days that followed, Eldrin continued his secluded cultivation at Spirit Isle Lake, spending his spare time refining and perfecting his own path of cultivation.
