Liiu Qiumei took out three treasures. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel✦fire.net
A Tier Four Lower Grade Flying Sword.
A Tier Three Top-Grade Magical Artifact, which is the Cyan Void Seal.
A piece of Fire Attribute Refining Material, the Yang God Stone.
These three treasures, Lu Yuanshan and his siblings had already seen in the treasure catalog and were not surprised, watching with great interest.
A Tier Four Spiritual Artifact can’t be wielded by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator; only a Crystallization Cultivator has such capability.
Lu Yuanshan was tempted by the Cyan Void Seal and wanted to exchange for it, but as he was contemplating what treasure to use, a cultivator beat him to it.
The person who stepped forward was a cultivator from the Zong Family in Yunbei County, with a Foundation Establishment First Layer cultivation level.
This person is named Du Yanbei, who has just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage and urgently needed a signature Magical Artifact. Seeing the Cyan Void Seal, he couldn’t sit still.
The Zong Family disciples are not weak; they belong to a Foundation Establishment Clan. Recently, the Clan Leader is attempting to break through to the Crystallization Stage, and if successful, the clan could be promoted to a Crystallization Clan.
Du Yanbei offered a Thousand-year Cold Iron as his treasure, attracting significant attention.
Thousand-year Cold Iron can be used to forge Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts and is born from a Water Attribute Spirit Vein.
The Du Family possesses a Tier Four Lower Grade Water Attribute Spirit Vein that can produce a Sunflower Water Crystal every hundred years and occasionally give birth to Heavenly and Earthly Treasures like Thousand-year Cold Iron.
The value of a treasure like the Thousand-year Cold Iron already surpasses the Cyan Void Seal, and Liiu Qiumei, who is knowledgeable, certainly understood its value.
The result was obvious; she exchanged the Cyan Void Seal with Du Yanbei.
The remaining Tier Four Lower Grade Flying Sword and Yang God Stone were also excellent treasures, attracting several cultivators eager to exchange for them.
In the end, the Yang God Stone fell into the hands of Xuu Qingshan, who intended to take it back to the sect to refine a Tier Four level Spiritual Artifact.
Once these treasures were exchanged, among the various treasures Liiu Qiumei took out next was the Jade Marrow Golden Branch.
"The Jade Marrow Golden Branch is the main material for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, nurtured by the Tier Three Spirit Vein of Nine Cold Mountain. Interested Daoists, don’t miss it."
"For this trade, there are fifty Jade Marrow Golden Branches available. To exchange for one, Daoists only need to offer a Tier Two High-Grade level treasure."
"Alright, let’s start the exchange immediately."
Liiu Qiumei briefly introduced the Jade Marrow Golden Branch, and even if she hadn’t specified, everyone present knew what it was.
Nine Cold Mountain itself is a Tier Four Spirit Vein, plus nine Tier Three Spirit Veins.
Spirit Fields and Medicinal Gardens are established on these nine Tier Three Spirit Veins, continuously nurturing spirit medicines for Nine Cold Mountain every year.
The Jade Marrow Golden Branch is planted on Nine Cold Mountain, alongside other Tier Three and Tier Four spirit medicines like Purple Monkey Flower, Golden Lotus, and Celestial Spirit Fruit, all cared for by disciples under Elder Jiang.
Under the influence of a Spirit Gathering Array set up by Elder Jiang, the growth period of the Jade Marrow Golden Branch shortened from maturing every fifty years to every thirty years.
For Cold Mountain Pavilion, the Jade Marrow Golden Branch isn’t considered rare, unlike the Foundation Establishment Pill, which is more valuable.
Offering a Tier Two High-Grade Spiritual Artifact could easily exchange for one.
But this is only within Cold Mountain Pavilion; the value of the Jade Marrow Golden Branch is as such.
Elsewhere, trying to obtain one at this price is simply a fool’s dream.
Cold Mountain Pavilion’s offer of Jade Marrow Golden Branches is considered a benefit.
The Cyan Mountain Sect still has a few Tier Two High-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, and Lu Yuanshan brought two or three with him on this trip.
As expected, after taking out a Tier Two High-Grade Spiritual Artifact, Lu Yuanshan successfully exchanged for a Jade Marrow Golden Branch.
A single Jade Marrow Golden Branch can be used as an Alchemy Material in the refining of a batch of Foundation Establishment Pills.
The probability of successfully producing six pills in one batch.
Having acquired a Foundation Establishment Pill and a Jade Marrow Golden Branch, the gains this time were substantial, yet Lu Yuanshan and his siblings had no intention to leave.
They continued participating in the trading convention.
It must be said that among the various treasures offered by Cold Mountain Pavilion, there were quite a few that made Lu Ping’s heart move, such as some Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts, Talismans, Spirit Medicines, etc.
Even if they obtained these treasures now, Lu Yuanshan and the others wouldn’t be able to use them immediately, as their cultivation was still lacking.
There was no need to rush acquiring them.
Rather, they might trade for some Tier Three Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, Talismans, etc.
At this level, Liiu Qiumei naturally offered some items.
But all the cultivators present were well-prepared, and in terms of financial resources and physical power, many surpassed the Cyan Mountain Sect.
For example, a Tier Three Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact ’Black Cloud Banner’ that caught Lu Yuanshan’s eye was snatched up by a sect cultivator named Woolong.
Lu Yuanshan didn’t insist on obtaining it, resigning to his fortune.
As the trading convention neared its end, a treasure Liiu Qiumei brought out last caught Lu Ping’s attention.
It was a Cultivation Technique Jade Scroll.
Recorded within it was a cultivation technique named ’Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture.’
This kind of technique, after cultivation, could extend lifespan, and in the Chu Kingdom’s Cultivation Realm, some were circulating, so it wasn’t considered rare.
However, this Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture was somewhat different.
Legend has it that this technique consists of nine levels, and cultivating to the ninth level could achieve the miraculous effect of immortality.
Of course, actually achieving immortality is somewhat legendary and remains to be verified.
And the version Liiu Qiumei offered wasn’t complete.
It only included the first four layers, capable of cultivating to the Golden Core Stage at most.
By this measure, this incomplete Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture is considered a Golden Core Technique.
Though cultivating it doesn’t lead to significant combat power improvements, the increase in lifespan is tangible.
Reaching the First Layer can increase a cultivator’s lifespan by ten years.
Upon reaching the Second Layer, lifespan increases by thirty years.
The Third Layer increases it by fifty years.
And reaching the Fourth Layer, lifespan can increase by seventy years.
Adding seventy years to one’s lifespan is extraordinary.
A Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivator’s maximum lifespan is a hundred and sixty years; if they cultivate this Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture, their lifespan could increase by over a full sixty-year cycle, reaching about two hundred thirty years.
Moreover, by consuming some life-extending elixirs and paying attention to health maintenance, their lifespan might reach nearly three hundred years!
What does this signify?
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s lifespan is at most three hundred years.
The longer one’s lifespan, the more time they have to cultivate, to break through the next great realm, and continue to increase their power and lifespan.
In principle, this is the situation.
But the Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture has another function—rejuvenation!
This effect is quite similar to the Tier Four Elixir, the Cyan Youth Pill.
For example, a Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivator aged seventy, at this age, qi blood and vitality have declined, and they are no longer in perpetual youth.
Attempting Foundation Establishment is extremely difficult.
Even consuming the Foundation Establishment Pill, the success rate of Foundation Establishment is less than thirty percent.
Hence, in the cultivation realm, there’s a belief that one should achieve Foundation Establishment before sixty.
However, once the Cyan Wood Longevity Scripture is cultivated, it can restore lost youth and revitalized qi blood, returning to a youthful, vigorous state!
