Chapter 799 : Primordial Treasures of the Sun
Among the several Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [powerful artifacts forged with the essence of the primordial sun], the most precious was naturally the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron [a legendary cauldron renowned for its power to subdue demons]. The remaining three treasures were also extraordinary items of great power.
That Vajra Demon-Breaking Bracelet [an indestructible bracelet imbued with the power to shatter demonic forces] was a supreme treasure of the Buddhist Sect [a monastic order dedicated to spiritual cultivation and enlightenment] at the Sixth Rank Mid-Grade [a high tier of power for spiritual artifacts]. The ancient lamp, named the 'Violet Flame Heart Lamp' [a lamp that emits a profound violet spiritual flame], could release the 'Mysterious Capital Violet Flame' [a mystical violet fire originating from a legendary celestial capital]. Wielding it allowed one to transcend the Inner Demon Tribulation [a perilous trial where a cultivator faces their own inner demons and mental obstacles] and could incinerate evil fiends from across the Myriad Heavens [the countless realms and dimensions of existence]. It also possessed a specific efficacy against all manner of poisonous miasmas, making it a High Grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a top-tier artifact forged with the essence of the primordial sun].
The Treasure Seal [a type of artifact often shaped like an official seal, used to channel immense power] was named the 'Mountain-Moving Seal' [a seal artifact famed for its earth-shaking, mountain-relocating power]. Its grade was also as high as Sixth Rank Mid-Grade, making it a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure of truly formidable might.
After carefully examining them, the group discovered that the lowest grade among these four treasures was Sixth Rank Mid-Grade, causing them all to inhale sharply in awe.
Sea-Calmer Path Master [Varen Wei, a master of the path of calming seas], his face etched with shock, could not help but exclaim in admiration, "The handiwork of an Immortal [a being who has ascended to a higher state of existence through cultivation] is truly staggering. To leave behind treasures, none of which fall below Sixth Rank Mid-Grade..."
The Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace [the ruler of a palace known for its ethereal, drifting snows], her eyes flickering with understanding, nodded and said, "For an Ancient Immortal [an immortal from a bygone era, possessing vast age and power], any Spiritual Object [an object imbued with or conducive to spiritual energy] below Sixth Rank Superior Grade [the pinnacle of the sixth rank] would likely be considered trivial."
"Among these Spiritual Treasure [enchanted artifacts used by cultivators], aside from the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron, the other treasures were probably left behind casually by the senior. The reason there are no Spiritual Object of Sixth Rank Low-Grade [the lowest tier of the sixth rank] is likely that she simply did not possess Spiritual Treasure of such low grade."
This was indeed the truth. Before the Heavenly Mountain Goddess [a divine being associated with a celestial mountain] broke through to the Ascendant Immortal Realm [the realm of a true ascended immortal], she no longer possessed any low-grade Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure of Sixth Rank Low-Grade.
After her breakthrough, she left behind her own supreme treasure, the 'Demon-Suppressing Cauldron', while the remaining three Spiritual Treasure were merely incidental additions.
The Mountain-Moving Seal and the Vajra Demon-Breaking Bracelet were of little use to an Ancient Immortal. Although the Violet Flame Heart Lamp possessed Extraordinary [remarkable and uncommon] utility, its attributes clashed with the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Mountain Goddess, so it too was left for her descendants.

"These treasures."
As the group gazed upon the several Spiritual Treasure [enchanted artifacts of significant power], expressions of intense desire appeared on their faces.
To an Immortal [a being who has ascended to immortality], these treasures were mere trifles, not even worth the effort of transporting during ascension. Yet for those present, each was a priceless treasure, a rare opportunity that might never come again.
Among the several Spiritual Treasure, the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron was one of the mightiest artifacts in the mortal world, bordering on the level of an Immortal Treasure [a treasure forged by or for true Immortals]. Naturally, the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace would not relinquish her claim to it.
Of the remaining three treasures, the Vajra Demon-Breaking Bracelet had already been refined by Sea-Calmer Path Master, and he was unlikely to part with it willingly. That left the Mountain-Moving Seal and the Violet Flame Heart Lamp available for distribution.
The Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace glanced at the two remaining treasures and spoke directly. "The cultivation arts of our Drifting Snow Palace are incompatible with the Violet Flame Heart Lamp. Fellow Daoist Long River, you may take it."
Long River Path Lord was momentarily taken aback. He had already obtained the 'Mysterious Origin Violet Aura Ginseng' [a spiritual herb that could be refined into a pill to aid a breakthrough to the late Primordial Spirit stage]. Given a choice between the two, he would certainly not have chosen the Violet Flame Heart Lamp.
Understanding his thoughts, the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace stated plainly, "Both the Mysterious Origin Violet Aura Ginseng and this Violet Flame Heart Lamp can be yours. However, the Wang Clan's Spirit Mountain [a mountain rich in spiritual energy] and all their various assets and enterprises shall belong to our Drifting Snow Palace."
"So that is your intention." Comprehending the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace's proposal, Long River Path Lord nodded. "In that case, this old man will graciously accept."
Eldrin Chen remained silent. Among the assembled powers, his Chen Clan was currently the weakest, yet they had already secured the greatest share of the spoils.
Moreover, this Immortal Mansion can only be inherited by Lila in the future. If we attempt to seek more, it would likely provoke the displeasure of the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace [the ruler of the Drifting Snow Palace].
Seeing that Long River Path Master had taken the Violet Flame Heart Lamp, the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace then claimed the Mountain-Moving Seal. Only then did she turn her gaze to the five precious Spirit Herb [rare plants imbued with spiritual energy].
These five precious Spirit Herb were: one Sixth Rank Superior Grade Mysterious Origin Violet Aura Ginseng [a ginseng infused with profound violet spiritual essence], one Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus [a lotus that grows on celestial peaks], one Primordial Spirit Flower, and two Primordial Solar Fruit.
Among these rare herbs, the Mysterious Origin Violet Aura Ginseng was the most precious, a treasure already extinct within the Purple Seal Realm. It could be refined into a Precious Pill [an exceptionally rare and potent elixir] capable of aiding a breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit Late Stage [the advanced stage of the Primordial Spirit cultivation realm].
Currently, within the Purple Seal Realm, there are no elixirs left that can assist in breaking through to the Primordial Spirit Late Stage. If this material could be refined into a Precious Pill, it would undoubtedly trigger a fierce bidding war among many Primordial Spirit Patriarch [powerful cultivators at the Primordial Spirit stage].
Long River Path Lord naturally could not let it go. He immediately collected it, storing it away with great care.
Among the remaining treasures, the Primordial Spirit Flower needs no further explanation. The Primordial Solar Fruit contained Primordial Solar Energy [the pure, primordial essence of the sun], making it the primary ingredient for refining the Primordial Solar Elixir [a supreme elixir of pure solar essence]. That Primordial Solar Elixir was a supreme cultivation resource for Primordial Spirit Path Lord [cultivators who have reached the Path Lord level within the Primordial Spirit realm].
It was said that if a Primordial Spirit Path Lord consumed one Primordial Solar Elixir, it could save them ten Sixty-Year Cycle [a cycle of sixty years] of arduous cultivation, demonstrating just how incredibly valuable this item was.
The Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace handed both the Primordial Solar Fruit and the Primordial Spirit Flower to Long River Path Master and then spoke, "Our Drifting Snow Palace's alchemical heritage is somewhat lacking. Fellow Daoist Long River's alchemy is hailed as the foremost in the Eastern Region Great Wasteland [the vast, untamed eastern wilderness]. We entrust these treasures to you for refinement, Elder Brother."
Long River Path Lord nodded and said, "However, let us wait another hundred years. If this old man can successfully break through to the Primordial Spirit Late Stage, my success rate in refining these elixirs will be significantly higher."
"That is acceptable," the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace inclined her head slightly. She then cast a glance at Eldrin Chen and the others and said, "Once the Primordial Solar Elixir [a supreme pill that can greatly enhance a cultivator's solar essence] is refined, we shall discuss its distribution based on the final number of pills produced."
"Our Drifting Snow Palace has taken over the assets of the Wang Clan. The two Primordial Spirit Pills [pills that aid in the formation and strengthening of the Primordial Spirit] the Wang Clan owed to the Kiang Clan will be repaid by us on their behalf in the future."
"Very well."
Eldrin Chen nodded in understanding. He realized the Wang Clan possessed considerable assets within the Far North Icy Plains, and this gesture was the other party's way of smoothing relations with him.
Seeing that no one objected, the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace turned her gaze towards the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus.
This Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus was a Sixth Rank Low-Grade Primordial Solar Treasure Lotus [a rare spiritual herb imbued with potent solar energy]. It could be used to forge a Sixth Rank Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a powerful enchanted artifact], or it could serve as a key ingredient to refine the Primordial Solar Precious Pill [a precious pill that refines one's solar essence].

A Primordial Spirit Path Lord [a cultivator who has reached the Primordial Spirit realm and comprehended a Path] from the Drifting Snow Palace showed some desire for it. However, the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace shook her head. Looking at Eldrin Chen, she said, "Your Three Veins Immortal Alliance contributed significantly to this endeavor. This item shall be yours."
"This..."
Eldrin Chen was momentarily taken aback. He had assumed that since they had obtained the Ancient Immortal [a cultivator who achieved immortality in ancient times] inheritance, the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace would no longer allocate any treasures to them. He hadn't expected a share of these spoils to still come their way.
Not only did the Mistress of Drifting Snow Palace give him the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, she also casually produced a piece of crystalline, translucent Precious Metal [a rare metal with spiritual properties] and handed it to Lila. "You have obtained the Immortal Inheritance [the legacy teachings and techniques of an immortal], making you, in a sense, a successor of that Ancient Immortal across the generations."
"I too have received treasures left behind by the Ancient Immortal [a cultivator who has ascended to immortality in the distant past], and thus owe a debt to that senior. Consider this piece of Frost Soul Immortal Gold [a rare, spiritually-charged metal imbued with frost and soul properties] a gift to mark our meeting."
Lila hesitated for a mere instant before replying with a smile, "Then I offer my sincere thanks, Palace Mistress."
With that, the group had finally divided all the precious treasures within the Immortal Mansion [the celestial abode of a powerful immortal].
Beyond these Sixth Rank [a high tier of power and rarity for artifacts and materials] treasures, the Immortal Mansion held numerous other items of varying grades. Particularly, the Spirit Herb Garden [a garden dedicated to cultivating spiritually potent plants] contained many valuable specimens, including precious medicinal seeds. Many of these Spirit Herb [plants that absorb and concentrate spiritual energy, used in alchemy] seeds were considered extinct within the Purple Seal Realm.
Logically, after several hundred thousand years, the Spirit Herb Garden within the Immortal Mansion should have been overflowing with high-grade medicinal plants tens of thousands of years old.
Unfortunately, due to the prolonged lack of care, most of these precious herbs failed to reach maturity, withering away prematurely. Only a small fraction had managed to advance beyond the Fifth Rank [a tier denoting significant power and rarity].
They divided these remaining herbs among themselves. Eldrin Chen acquired several immature Sixth Rank specimens, intending to nurture them carefully upon his return to the clan, hoping they might one day take root and thrive.
Once the treasures were distributed, everyone departed from the Immortal Mansion. Continue your cultivation journey at audio-novel.com.
