Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1145 - 554: Source Stone Ore Vein, the Sect’s Ten-Thousand-Year Reserve Plan (Part 2)

This beats refining elixirs oneself by a huge margin; who knows how many times the profit would increase.

If these Contribution Points were obtained, resources for cultivation would be secured until Divinity Transformation.

Alas, his fortune isn't that favorable.

Locating a Source Stone Ore Vein is exceptionally difficult.

It's entirely dependent on luck.

"But doesn't the treasure vault of the Primordial Talisman Sect house numerous treasures?"

"If such a place were robbed, the loss would be catastrophic."

The Qiantian Fire Spirit Pearl inquired, its tone laced with curiosity.

It pondered that with vast stores of Spirit Rice, Elixirs, and Spirit Medicines within the vault, the risk of theft was surely present.

It even considered the possibility of internal pilfering.

This world offers no escape from testing human nature.

For a meager profit, someone is invariably tempted to take the plunge.

"Regarding that, there's no need for excessive concern."

"The guardian of the treasure vault is incredibly formidable, rumored to be a puppet possessing Refining Void-level might."

"Any ordinary cultivator who dares approach it would meet their end."

"To think of confronting a being of Refining Void level is nothing but a fanciful dream."

Shen Yanci uttered, shaking his head.

He was indeed aware of this, yet the current power of the Primordial Talisman Sect was simply too immense.

In terms of martial prowess and historical foundation, it held the top rank within the Void Realm.

Attempting to pilfer from the Primordial Talisman Sect's vault was, without question, a delusion.

Indeed, thus far, no one had ever succeeded.

"A puppet at the Refining Void level? Where could it have originated?"

The Qiantian Fire Spirit Pearl expressed significant surprise.

Even though Refining Void-level cultivators were not exceptionally rare in the ancient times, in the present era, they stand as supreme powerhouses; even a single one could command dominance over the entire continent.

Yet, how did the Primordial Talisman Sect amass such a profound heritage?

"I'm uncertain. It's said the master discovered them through some fortuitous encounter."

"And he obtained no fewer than ten puppets at the Refining Void Perfection stage."

"These have since been deployed to various strategic locations, guarding the sect's treasury and the Scripture Pavilion."

"Should any unusual circumstances arise within the sect, they are prepared to intervene."

"In essence, the Primordial Talisman Sect's influence continues to grow alarmingly."

Shen Yanci remarked, his voice filled with emotion.

He recollected that upon his initial entry into the Primordial Talisman Sect, it was merely a Nascent Soul Sect.

But with the passage of time, it had already ascended to the status of a Void Refining Sect.

It boasted hundreds of cultivators at the Divinity Transformation stage alone.

Even more astonishing was the sheer number of combatants at the Refining Void level, numbering at least in the dozens.

Were his master inclined, he could easily subjugate the entirety of the Void Realm, eradicating all opposing forces.

However, the depths of the Void Realm's machinations are too profound, its true extent unchartable.

Consequently, the Primordial Talisman Sect opts for a discreet approach, refraining from precipitous actions.

"Your master is truly a marvel, his depths unfathomable."

"Despite a relatively short period of cultivation, he has already reached the Refining Void stage."

"Furthermore, the treasures he has accumulated are beyond counting."

"Now, even acquiring a Refining Void puppet; it's truly beyond exaggeration."

The Qiantian Fire Spirit Pearl found itself at a loss for words.

It had witnessed a great deal and encountered countless talented individuals throughout its existence.

But a cultivator such as the Sect Leader of the Primordial Talisman Sect was an unprecedented encounter.

Even the fabled Child of Destiny barely compares.

Now, it was witnessing the genesis of a legend, an event destined for the chronicles of history.

"This era has presented an abundance of extraordinary opportunities."

"Even cultivators of common standing, if fortunate enough to seize an opportunity, can ascend to unimaginable heights."

"This is simultaneously an era of unparalleled growth and immense peril."

"Merely attaining the Golden Core stage is woefully insufficient."

"One must aspire to at least Nascent Soul, or even Divinity Transformation, to truly partake in the grand unfolding of this era."

Shen Yanci clenched his fist.

He found it hard to believe the profound transformation he himself had undergone.

Clearly, he was merely a Loose Cultivator not long ago, narrowly escaping demise.

But since aligning himself with the Primordial Talisman Sect, his ascent began.

Now, he even contemplates advancing to Divinity Transformation, and perhaps even Refining Void.

As his cultivation base expanded, so too did his aspirations grow bolder.

Yet, possessing Immortal Destiny, his innate talents were more than sufficient to sustain such ambitions.

"Where do you intend to journey next?"

The Qiantian Fire Spirit Pearl inquired.

"I plan to seek out Senior Brother Mu."

"He is presently situated within the Primordial Secret Realm, overseeing a substantial cultivation project involving Spirit Plants."

"I've heard he has acquired a collection of Rare Spirit Medicines, and he desires my assistance in refining some elixirs."

"So, it would be pragmatic to head there, in hopes of discovering some Spirit Medicine."

"After all, compared to my previous rate, cultivating to the Golden Core stage has considerably slowed."

"If I could manage to refine a Tier Three Elixir, it would undoubtedly accelerate my cultivation progress."

Shen Yanci articulated his thoughts.

Although True Disciple Mu Yuan was also a skilled Alchemist, possessing the Immortal Destiny of Revival from Withered Wood, his proficiency in Spirit Plant cultivation and alchemy was highly regarded. However, when measured against Shen Yanci, a notable disparity remained.

The creation of certain precious Tier Three Elixirs still necessitated Shen Yanci's expertise.

Naturally, the sect did house Alchemists specializing in Tier Four and Tier Five elixirs. Yet, these high-tier alchemists commanded exorbitant fees, whereas Mu Yuan benefited from Shen Yanci's friendship rates.

Consequently, Mu Yuan was naturally inclined to seek his assistance.

Over the intervening years, the two had forged a strong friendship, frequently offering mutual aid.

This camaraderie persisted despite both being True Disciples and, to a certain degree, rivals.

Their interactions on the cultivation path rarely involved significant conflict.

......

A full day later.

Shen Yanci materialized via teleportation from a city on the Southern Continent, finding himself within the Primordial Secret Realm.

This very realm now served as the central headquarters for the Primordial Talisman Sect.

As per Jiang Fan's strategic planning, the Primordial Secret Realm was designated to become the ultimate Holy Land for the Primordial Talisman Sect in the future.

The initial Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm had subsequently been reclassified as a standard Secret Realm World.

This transition was entirely logical.

Considering its sheer size, the quality of its Spirit Veins, and its potential for development, the Primordial Secret Realm vastly surpassed the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm, making any comparison futile.

Even with Little Kunpeng Ming's continuous efforts to expand the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm, it could not rival the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land status of the Primordial Secret Realm. Even after ten thousand, or indeed a hundred thousand years of dedicated development, the fundamental difference would persist.

It was akin to comparing postnatal creatures attempting cultivation against naturally born True Spirits; the latter held an inherent advantage.

Consequently, a substantial influx of resources was relocated from the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm to the Primordial Secret Realm.

Even Jiang Fan, accompanied by his two Dao Companions, Su Weiwei and Lu Youyou, chose to reside and cultivate within the Primordial Secret Realm.

This decision was driven by the fact that the Primordial Secret Realm possessed a Tier Six Upper Grade Spirit Vein, radiating an incredibly potent concentration of Spiritual Qi.

True Disciple Mu Yuan was situated in the first Secret Realm accessible from the Primordial Secret Realm's entrance.

He had already attained the Golden Core Realm and was currently overseeing eighteen meticulously managed Medicinal Gardens.

Within the ranks of the True Disciples, he was recognized as one of the most affluent cultivators.

Each year, these expansive Medicinal Gardens yielded a substantial harvest of Spirit Medicine, solely for his benefit.

This arrangement was a promulgated rule of the Primordial Talisman Sect.

Every disciple who successfully concluded their fundamental training was granted the privilege to lease a Medicinal Garden from the sect for the cultivation of Spirit Medicines.

The resulting harvest was then shared, with a fifty-fifty split between the disciple and the sect.

For any accomplished Spirit Plant Master, this represented an exceptionally profitable venture.

At this juncture, their roles transcended that of mere cultivators; they were essentially landholders and cultivators of high value.

Even without venturing from their designated domains, they could amass considerable quantities of Spirit Stones and Contribution Points.

Before long, Shen Yanci arrived at the majestic mountain where Mu Yuan resided—known distinctly as Wood Emperor Peak.

This particular mountain had been historically assigned to Mu Yuan and was densely populated with numerous Medicinal Gardens.

"Junior Brother Shen, your arrival is most welcome."

"It has indeed been some time. Your cultivation has advanced notably. Have you acquired a new Anomalous Fire?"

Mu Yuan promptly greeted Shen Yanci upon his arrival at Wood Emperor Peak.

He immediately perceived the change in Shen Yanci’s aura, noting its increased potency compared to their last meeting.

Simultaneously, faint wisps of Anomalous Fire emanated from Shen Yanci’s form, radiating a terrifying destructive energy.

With his escalating cultivation base, his junior brother’s power seemed ever more profound and difficult to fathom.

"Haha, I was fortunate this time, stumbling upon an Earth Blazing Fire during my travels."

Shen Yanci declared with a proud smirk.

He felt no compelling need to conceal this particular achievement.

After all, he possessed a multitude of hidden trump cards, and this discovery was merely one of his assets.

As a True Disciple of the Primordial Talisman Sect, maintaining an excessively low profile was ultimately counterproductive.

On occasion, it was imperative to display a degree of strength; otherwise, maintaining his esteemed position as a True Disciple would become untenable."
