Chapter 743 Hastening Spirit Root Maturation, Spirit Peach Tree(Plant) Ascends

The Heavenly Dao Pill (Spiritual Object) is exceptionally difficult to refine. Generally speaking, even a fifth-grade master alchemist would only produce 1 or 2 pills at most.

Fortunately, Eldrin possessed an insight no weaker than a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord. Bolstered by his communion between Heaven and Man, he astonishingly succeeded in refining 3 pills on his very first attempt.

3 pills were refined in a single batch. With sufficient mana, this alchemy technique could indeed barely suffice to challenge the Sixth Realm.

"3 are sufficient for now. I shall refine this remaining strand of Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root) after I break through to the late Nascent Soul stage."

Eldrin smiled faintly and said, then set off to return to Spirit Isle Lake.

At this moment, Qing Ji had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing him, she immediately asked, "How did it go?"

"Everything went smoothly."

Eldrin nodded and handed the Heavenly Dao Pill to Qing Ji.

She opened the jade vial and couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. "With this Heavenly Dao Pill (Spiritual Object), I'll save myself centuries of painstaking effort in refining my spiritual power to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage."

Qing Ji took the Heavenly Dao Pill (Spiritual Object) and immediately entered seclusion that very day to begin refining the Heavenly Dao Pill (Spiritual Object).

With her foundation as a Green Lotus Immortal Fetus, seclusion to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage was nothing but effortless. This time, after merely 3 months in seclusion, she smoothly achieved the realm of late Nascent Soul as naturally as water flowing downhill.

Seeing her emerge from seclusion, Eldrin said joyfully, "With Huai Xu's successful breakthrough this time, it seems she will surpass us all in reaching the Nascent Soul stage."

Beside them, Lyra (Person Name) also revealed a faint smile. After this breakthrough, Qing Ji’s (Person Name) magical power had increased by another 50 percent.

With her foundation as a Green Lotus Celestial Vessel, her current magic power now rivaled even that of a Heaven’s Dao Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage. Coupled with the hidden power of the Green Lotus and her arsenal of divine abilities and spirit treasures, she would likely hold an overwhelming advantage even when facing a Great Perfection Nascent Soul expert.

At this thought, Lyra spoke again, "It's a pity we don't possess a sixth-grade precious metal. Otherwise, with the nourishing feedback of the Azure Lotus Dao Body, Huaixu could have advanced ahead of time to condense a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure."

Eldrin (Person Name) also gave a slight nod. While all cultivators under heaven could have their Dao Bodies nourish their Natal Spirit Treasures, there were still distinctions among them—some were superior, others mediocre, and some downright inferior.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, ordinary Dao Bodies could at most nurture spiritual treasures, yet a Dao Body capable of enabling a Nascent Soul True Monarch to nurture a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure was exceptionally rare.

Dao Bodies such as Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name)'s Oceanic Dao Body and Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name)'s Noble Dao Body are all classified as superior-grade Dao Bodies, capable of refining Pure Yang Spirit Treasures.

Dao Bodies of this caliber also included Chen Fusu's 3 Talents Dao Body, Lu Wenyuan's 4 Symbols Dao Body (Spiritual Root), Gu Lanshan's Tri-Yin Body (Spiritual Root), and so on.

Beyond these, even rarer are the Dao Bodies of higher tiers, such as Ye Qingfeng's Pure Yang Dao Body. Such physiques nearly touch the mortal limits, capable of nurturing 3 Pure Yang Spiritual Treasures during the Nascent Soul stage.

Lyra's Lunar Immortal Physique and Qing Ji's Green Lotus Dao Body were even rarer. The former was renowned as an immortal's true form, while the latter was a foundation forged through a 1000 cycles of reincarnation in the supreme immortal art 'Red Dust Butterfly Dream Technique (Cultivation Art)'.

Both were rare and ultimate treasures in the mortal realm, naturally capable of nurturing Pure Yang Spirit Artifacts—an effect even more astonishing than that of a Pure Yang Dao Body.

"A sixth-tier pure yang spiritual material is truly far too rare."

Lyra nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to Eldrin. "The growth of our clan's spiritual roots has been somewhat sluggish. Is there any way to accelerate their development?"

"Worth a try."

Eldrin naturally understood Lyra's thoughts. The family now possessed quite a few Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots, among which 6 served as the clan's foundational treasures.

They were the Spirit Peach Tree, the Immortal Apricot Tree, the Enlightenment Tea Tree, the Purple Marrow Divine Fruit Tree, the Jade Lotus of Creation, and the 8 Trigrams Treasure Tree.

Among them, the Violet Pith Divine Tree held the highest grade, reaching the mid-fifth tier. It only bore fruit once every 1000 years, each time yielding 6 Violet Pith Divine Fruits.

The Violet Pith Divine Fruit could even allow Nascent Soul True Monarchs to enter a state of sudden enlightenment. By consuming just 1, 1 could comprehend a Mahayana divine ability. It could be said that the formidable combat prowess of the Chen family's several True Monarchs was greatly attributed to this Violet Pith Divine Fruit Tree.

Needless to say, the Spirit Peach Tree was the key to the rapid progress of the True Monarch cultivators within the family.

The remaining Immortal Apricot Tree, Creation Green Jade Lotus, 8 Trigrams Treasure Tree, and Enlightenment Tea Tree were all treasured heirlooms of the family.

The Chen Clan's ability to reach its current standing was due not only to Eldrin's unwavering dedication to nurturing its members, but the 6 Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots deserved at least half the credit for their achievements.

But now, as Eldrin's cultivation approached the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage, the family's 6 Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots could no longer fully sustain his needs.

Aside from the Violet Pith Divine Fruit Tree, the other several Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) were merely lower-tier fifth-grade.

Given the rate at which a fifth-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) advances by 1 grade every 1000 years, it was estimated that by the time Eldrin (Person Name) achieved a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, they would still be lingering at the mid-tier of the fifth grade, rendering them unlikely to offer further assistance to Eldrin (Person Name).

Especially that fifth-level spirit peach tree—without the boost from this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), and with the supreme auxiliary treasure 'Moon God Pearl (Spiritual Object)' becoming useless even to Soul Formation cultivators, Eldrin's (Person Name) cultivation speed would likely plummet dramatically.

Therefore, the immediate priority is to quickly upgrade the grades of several Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) and accelerate their growth.

At this thought, Eldrin walked up to the spirit peach tree. He reached out and gently stroked its bark, then exhaled a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi that drifted toward the tree.

The spirit peach tree trembled slightly, and after absorbing this Primordial Purple Qi of the Heavenly Dao, it seemed to be imbued with a faint violet hue in the unseen realms. Its ability to draw energy from the earth appeared to have increased substantially.

"This is..."

A gleam lit up Qing Ji’s eyes. With her formidable soul power, she sensed in the depths of her intuition that after absorbing this wisp of Primordial Purple Qi, the spirit peach tree’s growth rate had surged by a remarkable margin.

Seeing that the Primordial Chaos Qi was effective, Eldrin immediately exhaled several more strands of Primordial Purple Qi. The Spirit Peach Tree absorbed 3 of them in succession before finally ceasing to draw in the Primordial Purple Qi.

Eldrin looked up and was astonished to discover that the spirit peach tree had blossomed with precisely 18 peach flowers at an astonishing speed.

Mid-Fifth Tier Spirit Peach Tree.

Gazing at the spirit peach tree before him, a surge of joy arose in Eldrin's heart.

After some calculations, he said to the 2 women, "Once these 18 peach blossoms mature into Heaven-Earth Spiritual Peaches, the Spiritual Peach Tree will advance to Middle Grade 5."

"This spiritual peach tree has absorbed 3 strands of Primordial Purple Qi, tripling its advancement speed before reaching the sixth rank. It appears it will reach the upper fifth rank within 3 100 years."

Upon hearing this, Lyra (Person Name) couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. With the spirit peach tree advancing to mid-grade 5-tier, its future yield would double from 9 to 18 spiritual peaches.

In recent years, the increasing number of Nascent Soul elders in the clan had made the output of Immortal Peach Pills insufficient to meet demand. Now, with the advancement of the spirit peach trees and Eldrin's (Person Name) continuously refined alchemy skills, the issue of Immortal Peach Pills is estimated to be fully resolved.

With a sufficient supply of Immortal Peach Pills, the cultivation progress of the True Monarchs in the clan will not fall behind, and their future path of Dao will be somewhat smoother.

Seeing this, Qing Ji also said joyfully, "It seems the Enlightenment Tea Tree, the Jade Lotus of Creation, and the other few Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) will also advance to the fifth-rank superior grade within 3 to 4 100 years."

"Alas, it's just that the consumption of Primordial Purple Qi is rather severe."

Eldrin shook his head and said with some helplessness.
