Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 839 - 834: Third-Rank Spirit Vein

When Li Xinnian entered the Immortal Grotto-Heaven, a realm brimming with deep and ancient legacy, Su Chen found himself utterly speechless.

"This... we've struck gold. We've absolutely struck gold!"

For the folks from Azure Cloud, this marked their initial venture into the Immortal Grotto-Heaven.

The moment they stepped inside, everyone sensed the thick concentration of Spiritual Qi from Heaven and Earth right away.

Surrounded by this potent spiritual Qi, the grand edifices inside the Immortal Grotto-Heaven resembled a mystical paradise.

A composed figure like Li Xinnian couldn't keep his hands from shaking uncontrollably.

With excitement in his eyes, he stared at the gleaming treasure that shone with a brilliant golden light.

"Our clan... we've become wealthy beyond measure!!!"

"Those lean times are done for good!" Nangong Qingya clutched Li Xinnian's hand, tears welling up in her eyes.

Watching the pair's intense response, Su Chen's lips quirked in amusement.

"Is it truly that over-the-top?"

"No, Big Brother, you just don't get it."

As he mentioned this, Li Xinnian nearly broke down sobbing.

Deep down, only he understood the full extent of the family's poverty throughout the last hundred years.

To support the Void-Soul Exchanging Dao Technique, all the family elders ventured out to gather Spirit Stones and materials, leaving the clan's reserves of heavenly treasures nearly depleted.

Grandpa Old Tree himself... once every five years, he offered up his dried bark for sale.

The whole populace of Merit City needed sustenance; fallen cultivators from the Wu Clan Battlefield required pensions year after year; and during massive disasters, relief efforts had to be launched...

Li Xinnian even threw lavish feasts for each new grandchild's arrival, just to have a pretext for extracting gifts from other clans and sects.

Regarding the branch families that had branched off—except for Yuanshang—the rest barely scraped by with minimal supplies.

They were compelled to venture forth and procure resources independently, and annually, they'd plead with Li Yuanshang for a handful of Spirit Stones to use.

One particular year stuck sharply in Li Xinnian's memory: to cover the yearly allowances for the household staff, he checked the warehouse and discovered it barren of both heavenly treasures and Spirit Stones.

To make those payments, he'd dragged the imprisoned Devil Sect leader from the South Sea along, journeyed thousands of miles to join the Wu Clan War, and ambushed a convoy guarded by two Wu Clan elders.

Those cursed eras of struggle had come to an end at last!

"Qingya, hurry and summon Grandpa Huang!

Tell him to gather every family servant and bring them here right now.

Big Brother, fetch Heng’er and the rest—we must scour every inch of this Immortal Grotto-Heaven!"

Once he'd quickly organized the team, Li Xinnian, eyes sparkling with greed, rushed ahead like a ravenous beast.

And he wasn't the only one.

[You have entered the game world...]

...

"Damn! Damn!"

Li Wei's form materialized instantly far below the surface of the Immortal Grotto-Heaven, precisely at the Spirit Vein's core.

There, a serpentine dragon formed purely from Spirit Stones glided through the sparkling subterranean depths.

It shimmered like mist, radiating a dazzling brilliance.

[Third-Rank Spirit Vein]

[Living Spirit Vein: Having developed awareness, it can somewhat generate its own Spirit Stones.

It absorbs the Qi of Heaven and Earth to foster spiritual power and create Spirit Stones.

The Spirit Vein's essence cultivates to the pinnacle of the Divinity Transformation realm, serving as a protective spirit for the land and claiming heaven's generative blessings.

In the zone shielded by the Spirit Vein, those under Golden Core see their Spiritual Qi absorption rate boosted by 50%.

Over time, everything under its sway may awaken sentience, with chances for innate spiritual items to emerge.

The expansion of heavenly treasures speeds up by 30%...]

"We've struck it big! We truly have!"

Forget the rest—this single Third-Rank Spirit Vein guaranteed the clan's enduring wealth!

Rumors said even the Min Clan, tied to the Imperial Capital's Grand Preceptor, owned one.

Such a thing wasn't won through raw power alone; it demanded eons of natural buildup.

Every cultivation family and sect coveted this ultimate prize.

Yet the panel's details Li Wei viewed captured only a fraction of its true worth.

"Heh... hehehe..."

Emerging from below ground, Li Wei swiped away the saliva trickling from his lips.

Starting now, the Old Li Family had fully shaken off destitution and embraced opulence.

At once, Li Wei eagerly zipped through the whole Immortal Grotto-Heaven.

Treasures everywhere.

All of it was treasure!

The roadside rock formations turned out to be everyday artifacts, and even the pathway bricks in certain spots aided cultivators.

Not until he arrived at a lake did a rosy tree snag his attention.

That massive tree stood at the initial Divinity Transformation stage—a Spirit Plant indeed.

With the Immortal Zhao Clan's downfall, the huge tree quivered in terror.

Li Wei arched an eyebrow; a Spirit Plant of such quality held tremendous worth.

"It's pink. At last, I can pair the Old Tree with a mate..."

Hardly had he spoken when the tree's foliage rustled, and a coarse, booming voice echoed.

Detecting intruders in the Immortal Grotto-Heaven, it freaked out, shifted into a youth's shape, and tried to bolt.

"...A guy, huh..."

[Cloud Peach Demon Venerable]

[Realm: Early Divinity Transformation]

[Fostered by the Heaven and Earth Spirit Vein, it evolved into a demon, taking 120,000 years to attain Divinity Transformation.

Its peach limbs qualify as Fifth-Rank Spirit Materials; they're resilient and ward off malevolent forces.

Once every century, it yields thirty drops of Cloud Peach Spirit Liquid.

For cultivators shy of Divinity Transformation, ingesting it fortifies meridians and physique, bestows Cloud Peach Bloodline safeguards, and blocks outside corruptions.

The Cloud Peach Leaves craft a Spirit Tool: Peach Blossom Auspicious Cloud, letting riders soar swiftly on clouds.]

"What an outstanding Spirit Plant!"

As the demon Spirit Plant tried to flee, Su Chen blocked its path.

He proved a spoiled weakling—explaining his absence from the prior fight.

After just two clashes, the Cloud Peach Demon Venerable dropped to his knees, pleading desperately.

Besides this Cloud Peach Demon Venerable, the place housed many aware spiritual plants, including three at Nascent Soul who had assumed human shapes.

[Spirit Vein Grain: It offers haven to nearby spiritual plants and hastens the development of those Eighth Rank or lower.

Its energy forms a benevolent downpour, healing myriad ailments and purifying body and soul.]

[Red Ginseng King: Its rooted spot reshapes the surrounding terrain.

Items with "Earth Spirit" traits nearby harden to Ninth-Rank stone levels over ages; with deliberate urging, they hit Eighth-Rank toughness.

Its essence boosts cultivation pace.

Eaten fresh, it lets a Nascent Soul cultivator advance a minor stage; a Golden Core at its limit can leap straight to a Nascent Soul surpassing the Seven-Nine threshold...]

[Flying Frost Flower: It can summon snowfall across an area...]

Dozens of Golden Core-stage spiritual plants lingered too, remnants of the Immortal Grain lineage.

Li Wei had never witnessed such a bounty of spiritual plants in all his days!

"This stuff... it's like another Spirit Vein by itself."

Exhilaration flooded Li Wei's chest.

He remembered how the family's early surge owed much to the Old Tree. But now, an entire assembly awaited!

Even one alone could anchor a Nascent Soul clan!

The sole variance lay in their less ruthless nature compared to the Old Tree; each offered distinct products and perks.

"I'll station the Cloud Peach Demon Venerable back home.

His leaves and limbs suit forging artifacts and repelling demons.

Perhaps tuck him in with the Demon Suppressing branch?"

"For the Red Ginseng King, devouring it uncooked wastes potential.

I'll deploy it to enrich the family's lands—make every patch reach Eighth-Rank solidity. Sss..."

"And that Spirit Vein Grain... it could let us cultivate fields even in the Thunder Fire Devil Cave!"
