Chapter 640 Peerless Auxiliary Spirit Treasure
Moreover, it is said that refining a personal spiritual treasure yields even better results, and it can also assist cultivators in accelerating their cultivation over the long term.
This Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object) before me has reached the premium fifth-grade tier. It could likely be refined into an exceptional spiritual treasure to aid cultivation, sufficient for Eldrin (Person Name) to utilize until achieving the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.
For Seraphina Qu, who had reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, this object could no longer aid her cultivation. Yet, it remained a precious memento of Eldrin. Now, in order to purchase longevity-extending pills for several of her sworn sisters, she was actually willing to part with it.
At this thought, Eldrin spoke up, "Though this Moon God Pearl holds no offensive or defensive properties, its value is likely no less than that of a superior spiritual treasure."
"I don't have many Life-Extending Spiritual Apricots either. How about I give you 3 Life-Extending Spiritual Apricots?"
Upon hearing this, the several Spirit Shell Fairies were ecstatic. A single Longevity Spirit Apricot was worth 2 100 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object) in the outside world, but for them, whose lifespans were far shorter than humans', it was truly a priceless treasure.
Given time, they were never short on cowrie shells. To be able to trade the Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object) for this life-extending spirit apricot was, to her, a tremendous gain.
At that thought, Seraphina Qu (Person Name) smiled faintly and said, "Thank you. Consider this a favor I owe you."
"There's no need for that."
Eldrin smiled faintly. To him, although life-extending treasures were precious, the current Chen Family still had means to acquire them.
However, the Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object) that enhances cultivation speed is produced in extremely scarce quantities—it’s doubtful whether even a few exist across the entire 3 Veins Ancient Domain.
Even if such an item were to occasionally appear in the world, it would likely fall into the hands of the most elite immortal clans, let alone the fact that this Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object) before us has reached the supreme grade of Tier 5.
Thus, this transaction proved to be immensely profitable for both parties.
After completing the transaction, Eldrin gazed at the Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root) and 3 Shell Pearls, saying, "I still have some spiritual treasures in my possession. I wonder if they might be exchanged for this Earth Mother Qi (Spiritual Root) and the Shell Pearls."
"Of course."
Seraphina Qu nodded slightly, then exchanged her Earth Mother Qi and 3 cowrie beads with Eldrin for 3 supreme demon-refining treasures.
After completing all these tasks, Eldrin did not linger. Taking Qingci Sanren with him, he bid farewell, saying, "We shall part ways here today. I will pay you another visit in the future."
Seraphina Qu escorted the trio to the entrance of 9 Dragons' Deep Pool before bowing gracefully to bid farewell: "My gratitude for your assistance this time. As I cannot venture beyond 9 Dragons' Deep Pool, I shall take my leave here to see you off."
"Farewell."
Eldrin (Person Name) cupped his hands in salute before steering his treasure vessel away.
The treasure ark sailed through the void. Lyra glanced back at the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool, a faint crease appearing between her brows as she remarked, "If this Rainbow Clam were to reach maturity, I fear it would become another Eldrin-level demon ancestor."
"Mm." Eldrin nodded, then remarked, "Fortunately, her temperament is gentle, unlike the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor and Crocodile Ancestor who harbor such hostility toward humankind."
Without another word, the 2 fell silent as the treasure vessel continued its flight toward Ji Province.
Along the way, the Azure Verse Wanderer finally awoke. Seeing Eldrin (Person Name), he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Was it you who saved me this time?”
"I merely brought you out."
Eldrin shook his head and gave Green Verse Wanderer a general account of what had happened.
After listening, the Green Verse Wanderer let out a bitter laugh and shook his head. "It was I who brought the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location) into this world. Were it not for your intervention, I'm afraid I would never have emerged from the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location)."
Eldrin smiled faintly, choosing not to elaborate further on the subject. "We shall make a detour to Qingluan Continent along our journey," he said calmly. "There, we shall acquire a Soul-Nourishing Elixir to restore your wounded spirit."
"It's time for you to break through to the Nascent Soul stage after we return."
A smile also graced the lips of the Ascetic of Verdant Verse as he responded, "Having obtained the legacy of that vile dragon this time, my path to the late Nascent Soul stage is now clear and unobstructed. 1 could say this misfortune has turned into a blessing."
The treasure ship sailed onward, and before they knew it, they had arrived at Qingluan Continent (Location). They spent 60 Heavenly Crystals (Spiritual Object) to purchase a single Soul-Nourishing Pill.
The Soul-Nourishing Elixir is a low-grade, fifth-tier pill capable of healing a cultivator's spiritual wounds, though typically only Eldrin True Monarchs can refine it.
Qingci Sanren’s cultivation base still fell slightly short, yet it had already reached the False Infant stage. With the assistance of Eldrin (Person Name), he successfully refined the Soul-Nurturing Elixir.
After consuming the Soul-Nourishing Elixir, Elder Qingci felt his divine soul had recovered 70 to 80 percent, requiring only a few more years of recuperation to fully restore it.
Thus, Eldrin wasted no more time and directly teleported to Jizhou, then made his way back to Spirit Isle Lake after a few transfers.
Returning to Spirit Isle Lake, Eldrin deposited the Spirit Clam Pearls and Earth Mother Qi into the clan vault before retrieving the Moon God Pearl.
He intended to refine this Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object) into a superior spiritual treasure to aid his cultivation. Turning to Lyra (Person Name), he said, "My lady, lend me your assistance."
With Eldrin's (Person Name) mastery in artifact forging, crafting this item was already a near-certain endeavor, let alone with Lyra's (Person Name) assistance.
The 2 joined forces to refine the Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object), and in just 1 year's time, they successfully forged the embryo of this divine artifact.
To enhance the cultivation efficacy of the Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object), Eldrin (Person Name) carved Spirit Gathering Formation (Formation) patterns within it and infused a vast quantity of rare spiritual materials into its core.
Yet this alone was not enough. He then brewed a cauldron of spiritual liquid using 3,600 spiritual herbs, bathing the treasure pearl in this liquid for 80-1 days before finally achieving success.
Once forged, the Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object) would become as radiant and dazzling as a luminous moon, capable of gathering spiritual energy and emitting divine lunar light to aid cultivators in advancing their cultivation.
It is done.
Eldrin’s eyes lit up with astonishment as he gazed upon the Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object).
The original Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object) could increase a cultivator's cultivation speed by approximately 50 percent, whereas the current Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object) can now enhance cultivation speed by 80 percent.
Moreover, the original Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object) could only be used by 1 individual, but now, bathed in the Moon God Pearl's lunar divine radiance, it was sufficient to allow 3 Nascent Soul True Lords to cultivate simultaneously.
"What a fine treasure."
Lyra also revealed a look of pleasant surprise. The Moon God Pearl's effects were so astonishing that it could truly be called a supreme-grade spiritual treasure. From now on, it would undoubtedly become the Chen Family's most precious cultivation treasure.
For Eldrin, although this 80 percent increase in cultivation speed did not include the effects of refining the Heaven Earth Spirit Peach, it was more than enough to significantly accelerate his rate of cultivation.
At this thought, Eldrin said, "With this treasure in hand, both of us can cultivate to Nascent Soul, Mid Stage before the 100-year pact."
"Hmm."
Lyra also nodded, her expression bright with joy as she said, "If we can reach Nascent Soul, Mid Stage a few years earlier, we’ll have more time to prepare ourselves to survive the Abyssal Cataclysm."
At this point, she paused briefly before continuing, "Once we break through to Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm), the family's reserve of 5 Elements Essence will likely fall somewhat short."
Eldrin’s brow twitched faintly as he sighed in resignation. “It seems I’ll have to send word to Daoist Zixu and Sect Master Tianlu, entreating them to help me acquire a few dozen.”
"Hmm." Lyra spoke with an air of detachment, then continued, "Our clan has reaped considerable benefits by following us these years. It's time for the low-level cultivators to share the burden—let them contribute funds to purchase the 5 Elements Essence."
Chapter 1 The Azure Cloud Sect's outer gate examination had finally concluded. Lin Xuan stood silently amidst the bustling crowd, his gaze calm as he watched the disciples who had passed the test celebrating with joy and those who had failed leaving in dejection. Clutched tightly in his hand was a jade slip—the Outer Disciple Token—glowing with a faint, warm light. After 3 long years of grueling effort, he had finally taken this crucial step. "Lin Xuan, Fifth-Level Qi Refining Stage, qualifies as an outer disciple," the white-robed elder announced indifferently, his tone devoid of emotion. A flicker of relief passed through Lin Xuan's heart. The Fifth-Level Qi Refining Stage was merely the minimum requirement to become an outer disciple. Among this year's newcomers, several had even reached the Seventh Level. However, this was already his limit. Having transmigrated into this world of cultivation, he possessed neither a powerful background nor extraordinary talent. The only thing he could rely on was the mysterious bronze mirror he had brought with him from his previous life. Yet, after 3 years, the mirror remained unresponsive, showing no signs of awakening. "From today onward, you will reside in the western district of the outer sect. Remember, the path of cultivation is treacherous—advance with caution," the elder instructed briefly before waving his sleeve, signaling the disciples to disperse. Lin Xuan followed the crowd toward the western district. The Azure Cloud Sect was 1 of the major cultivation sects in the Northern Wastelands, its territory spanning thousands of miles. Even the outer sect alone was vast enough to leave 1 in awe. Along the way, magnificent pavilions stood tall among mist-shrouded peaks, and spiritual energy swirled like mist, coalescing into droplets. From time to time, sword rays streaked across the sky, and magical treasures shimmered with radiant light—a sight that stirred the imagination. This was the world of cultivation, a realm of both boundless wonders and ruthless competition. After locating his residence—a simple bamboo hut—Lin Xuan set down his meager belongings. According to the sect's rules, outer disciples were required to complete assigned tasks each month in exchange for cultivation resources. He retrieved the jade slip and immersed his spiritual sense into it. A stream of information flowed into his mind: the "Azure Cloud Art," a foundational cultivation technique, along with basic spells such as the "Fireball Technique" and the "Dust-Sweeping Technique." Additionally, there was a map of the outer sect and an introduction to the mission hall. As an outer disciple, he would receive 10 spirit stones and 1 Qi Nourishing Pill each month. While it wasn’t much, it was enough to sustain basic cultivation. Lin Xuan sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, circulating the Azure Cloud Art according to the method described in the jade slip. Strands of spiritual energy gradually converged around him, seeping into his limbs and bones. Although the process was slow, he could clearly feel the spiritual energy within his body growing steadily. After an unknown period of time, when he opened his eyes again, the sky outside had already darkened. He let out a long breath. The spiritual energy in the cultivation world was indeed far denser than in the mortal realm. No wonder countless mortals yearned to join the cultivation sects. Just as he was about to continue meditating, a sudden warmth emanated from his chest. Lin Xuan was startled. He quickly reached into his clothes and pulled out a palm-sized bronze mirror. This was the object he had brought with him from his previous life. At that moment, the bronze mirror, which had remained silent for 3 years, was glowing with a faint golden light. Intricate patterns surfaced on the mirror, swirling like flowing water. A mysterious energy surged from the mirror into his body. In that instant, Lin Xuan felt as if his spiritual sense had expanded significantly, and his perception of the surrounding spiritual energy became exceptionally sharp. "This is..." Before he could fully grasp what was happening, a stream of information flooded into his mind. "Divine Mirror of Creation!" 4 ancient, cryptic characters emerged in his consciousness, followed by a vast and profound cultivation method. Lin Xuan took a deep breath, his eyes blazing with excitement. The golden opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived!
