Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 255 Myriad Treasure Pavilion! 880,000!
Chen Qian recalled some of the scenes he had seen along the way from Lijiang Plain to Duan Yao Gorge: the surging and turbid energy, the twisted plants and monsters, and the omnipresent fishy and acrid smell in the void—these were the terrifying scenes of the Beast Source materialized.

“I see…” he murmured, tracing the patterns on the edge of the token with his fingertips. “Acquiring resources is secondary, not the goal. The fundamental purpose is to fight for ownership of the ‘pure’ and ‘turbid’ aspects of this world.”

"This Beast Extermination Ranking and Mirror Sky Order are declarations of war by the human race for the chance to survive."

……

The following day, on the eighth floor of Tianfeng Pass, in the mission hall.

Chen Qian's Level 2 Mirror Void Token was refined by him very quickly.

For most Qi Refining cultivators, refining a Level 1 Mirror Void Token is not difficult.

So after a few days of rest, these newly arrived family cultivators were basically able to accept missions and earn points.

As the personnel arrived, the atmosphere of war at Tianfeng Pass intensified.

It is estimated that before long, the Lebanese leadership will launch a large-scale war of conquest, and the window of opportunity to freely accept missions will become increasingly shorter.

The mission hall was bustling with people and filled with a deafening roar.

The enormous jade wall of light and shadow shimmered with spiritual light, scrolling with dense and varied task information.

Chen Qian walked through the crowd, his eyes scanning the mission description.

【Qingzhi No. 00001: Deploy the 'Qingyuan Array' within any spiritual vein in the wilderness. A deposit of 100 spirit stones is required for each array deployment tool. Successful deployment and verification through the Mirror Realm will reward you with 200 spirit stones and 10 points (this task is valid indefinitely)...】

【Military Extermination Order 00327: Clear out the Iron Claw Rock Wolves (estimated late-stage Tier 1 to early-stage Tier 2) pack entrenched on the outskirts of Black Wind Pass, 800 li southwest of Demon-Slaying Gorge. Number: 50-80) Mission Requirements: Eliminate the wolf pack and initially purify the area's beast spawn points. Bonus Reward: Collect wolf teeth and claws, which can be exchanged for spirit stones…】

【Project No. 00152: Assist in repairing the array bases of the third section of the southeastern defense line of 'Purple Cloud Mountain' (Requires proficiency in earth-based array formations or weapon crafting). Mission Requirements: Repair twelve array bases within ten days, ensuring they meet the required strength. Base Points: 50 points per base. Bonus Rewards: Additional points may be awarded for early completion…】

【Exploration Mission 00388: Venture deep into the 'Rotting Bone Swamp' on the edge of 'Black Swamp' to investigate the movements of the 'Iron-Scaled Crocodile King's' guard group (High risk, recommended for late-stage Foundation Establishment or higher teams). Mission Requirements: Obtain detailed intelligence and mark core nodes of the beast source. Base Points: 1000 points, may increase depending on the value of the intelligence…】

[Station No. 00072: Blackwater Merchant Alliance is recruiting cultivators to assist in defense. Five Foundation Establishment cultivators and one hundred late-stage Qi Refining cultivators are needed. (Once accepted, you must remain stationed there for at least one month. If you wish to resign, you must apply half a month in advance.) Basic points: 20 points per month for early Foundation Establishment cultivators, 40 points for mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators, and 100 points for late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators; 2 points per month for late-stage Qi Refining cultivators...]

……

Chen Qian also discovered some reward patterns for tasks. For example, tasks related to clearing out monsters would not have basic rewards because killing monsters would give points.

However, these types of tasks often offer decent extra rewards.

For missions that are not directly combat-based, a certain amount of points will be awarded as compensation.

This setup is quite reasonable, because not everyone is good at combat.

Even those who are not good at fighting can still make some contributions to "clearing the beast source and converting human energy" through other means, and should be compensated with some points.

The number of points determines your ranking on the Beast Extermination Ranking. You can not only get certain ranking rewards, but also directly use points to exchange for any resources.

As long as you have enough points, the Eastern Abyss Immortal Alliance can provide almost any resource in the Celestial Realm.

……

Chen Qian had to accept the mission of Qingzhi, so he spent several thousand spirit stones to acquire dozens of sets of "Qingyuan Formation" equipment.

As long as you can lay half of it, you can break even.

You can earn quite a few points.

I've accepted another quest to suppress the enemy in the southeast direction of Tianfeng Pass, a quest that I recommend for those at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

When accepting the mission, the Mirror Order prompted to verify Chen Qian's aura, but his cultivation level was actually at the peak of Foundation Establishment, so passing the verification was naturally no problem.

The verification of his aura actually carries some risks, after all, he has only been at the Foundation Establishment stage for less than a year.

However, his innate divine soul did not sense any danger, which clearly shows that the operation of the Mirror Realm is not subject to human interference.

The location of this mission is not far from Ziyun Mountain. After completing it, you can also visit Yunmeng'er and her two little girls.

Moreover, the task rewards were also to his liking.

[…Bonus Reward: You may choose any elixir for body refinement as a reward. The specific type and grade of the elixir will depend on the number of points earned.]

Isn't this just like a pillow coming to someone who's about to fall asleep?
Chen Qian really needs the Heart Nourishing Pill, the Spleen Strengthening Paste, and the Lung Strengthening Powder.

As soon as Chen Qian stepped out of the mission hall, he sensed the communication jade talisman in his storage bag vibrating slightly.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Lin Wanshuang's communication jade talisman.

As his divine sense probed in, he heard Lin Wanshuang's cheerful, clear voice resounding in his sea of ​​consciousness:

"Senior Brother Chen, I heard you've arrived at Tianfeng Pass too! I just finished my mission. Where are you? Come with me to the 'Myriad Treasure Pavilion,' this fairy will show you around!"

"Wanxiang Treasure Pavilion? Oh, that must be the points redemption center."

He hadn't been to this place before and was very interested, so he replied, "Alright, I was just thinking of going to see it. Then I'll trouble Fairy Butterfly to take me to broaden my horizons! Where are you? I'm looking for you."

"Princess~ It's at the intersection of the East Zone on the fifth floor! Come quickly!" Lin Wanshuang's voice was filled with impatience and joy.

Before long, Chen Qian saw that familiar beautiful figure.

Lin Wanshuang still carried the lingering aura of fierceness and dust, and there were still some stains on her Hundred Butterflies Playing with Flowers robe, but this did not diminish her heroic and dashing appearance.

"Senior Brother Chen!" Lin Wanshuang's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Qian, and she naturally came up to him and grabbed his sleeve. "Come on, come on! The Myriad Manifestations Pavilion has so many good things! Even I, the little princess of the Beast Taming Sect, feel like a frog in a well!"

"Haha~" Chen Qian couldn't help but chuckle when he heard what she said was funny.

"How's the mission going?" Chen Qian asked casually.

"It's alright." This time, Lin Wanshuang stopped joking and said in a serious tone, "The monsters in the wilderness outside the border are completely different from those in the country."

She said to Chen Qian seriously, "I know that Senior Brother Chen is very capable, but we must not be careless when carrying out missions. We must try our best to be more prepared."

"Hmm~ I understand, thanks for the reminder, Wan Shuang." Chen Qian also thanked her sincerely, knowing that this was the little girl's way of showing her concern for him.

“Yes, I have a question to ask,” Chen Qian suddenly said.

"Hmm? Senior brother, feel free to ask me any questions!" Lin Wanshuang said playfully.

"Doesn't your sect's Wanling Mountain also have a large number of demonic beasts? But why have we never heard of a large number of beasts emerging from Wanling Mountain?"

"That's because Wanling Mountain is protected by a great formation, preventing the life essence of the beastmen from intruding, and the earth veins have also been cleared, removing the violent and stagnant energy." "The spiritual lands within the cultivation kingdom are basically occupied by human cultivators. The earth veins are cleared by human energy, so the beast source can neither intrude nor take shape."

"Our sect is a major sect of beast taming, and we are particularly skilled in how to dredge the earth's veins and remove beast sources. There is still a big difference between the advancement and growth of spirit beasts and demon beasts."

"Demon beasts only need to strengthen their own life essence, while spirit beasts need to grow together with their contractors, so they are deeply nourished by human energy, and they are not comparable."

Chen Qian nodded, gladly accepting the instruction.

Lin Wanshuang's guidance gave him a lot more insights into the art of beast taming, providing more guidance for deriving the subsequent techniques of the Spirit Pet Resonance Contract.

Lin Wanshuang pulled Chen Qian through the bustling crowd and finally arrived in front of a magnificent blue stone building.

Above the entrance hangs a huge black iron plaque with four large characters that shimmer with spiritual light: "Myriad Phenomena Pavilion".

The doors were wide open, revealing a spacious interior. Soft light illuminated the well-organized display area, and the air was filled with the fragrance of elixirs, the unique aroma of talismans and spiritual ink, and the scent of spiritual materials.

The building is clearly divided into sections for elixirs and precious medicines, equipment and tools, cultivation techniques and secret arts, spiritual materials and rare items, daily supplies, and so on, all of which are extremely large in scale.

The crowd was large, but it did not appear chaotic.

The most eye-catching feature is the huge light screen floating in front of each section, which clearly displays the item name, image, description, and the points required to redeem it.

The monks either examined the items intently, discussed them in hushed tones, or exchanged them at the counter using their tokens.

"Look over there!" Lin Wanshuang pulled Chen Qian toward the equipment and supplies area, pointing to a display stand inside a separate light shield.

A ring-shaped treasure, its entire body shrouded in fine purple electricity, floated inside the light shield.

"'Jade Bell Thunder Sound Ring,' a high-grade second-tier thunder attribute flying ring, possesses the 'Evil-Piercing Thunder Sound' divine power, which is extremely effective against evil spirits and orc souls! After refining, its power approaches that of a top-tier second-tier ring! Exchange points... 400!"

She read out the last number, clicked her tongue, and said, "It's good stuff, but it's expensive! It'll take me a while to save up for it."

Chen Qian's gaze swept across the light screen, and he quickly calculated the scoring rules in his mind (killing a second-tier perfect monster only earns one hundred points).

"Four hundred points... is equivalent to killing four second-tier perfect monsters or making an equivalent contribution."

"This is a top-quality spiritual weapon that combines offense and defense and comes with its own supernatural power!" Lin Wanshuang explained. "An ordinary second-tier high-grade spiritual weapon might only cost two hundred points, but one with special supernatural power and extremely strong aura will cost much more. Sometimes, in a critical moment, a good weapon is a second life."

She then gave a mischievous smile, "However, compared to the Five Elements Sword Intent contained in the Five Elements Enlightenment Sword Stone that Senior Sister Shen gave you, the 'Thunder Sound' of this Flying Ring might be a bit lacking, not reaching the level of artistic conception. But the Enlightenment Sword Stone is for comprehension, while this is a real weapon of slaughter."

Chen Qian nodded, his gaze continuing to scan the light screen.

"Small Cave Array Plate (Tier 3, Low Grade): Quickly deploys a defensive and early warning array covering a range of 1,000 feet. Exchange Points: 800."

Lin Wanshuang commented: "Great stuff for team operations, but it's a bit pricey."

"One-time 'Domain-Breaking Shuttle' (Tier 3, Low Grade): Can tear apart any spatial seal or powerful barrier below Tier 3, with a small probability of breaking through Tier 3, Low Grade barriers. Exchange Points: 2,500"

Her eyes lit up: "Great stuff! A must-have for escaping a desperate situation! But the price..."

The area for miraculous medicines.

"Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill: Tier 3, low-grade, a holy medicine for severely injured and dying patients, capable of repairing damage to the foundation. Exchange points: 3,000."

Lin Wanshuang said in a low voice, "It's worth the price for something that can save lives! But I hope we'll never need it."

"Purple Mansion Spirit Nourishing Pill: Second-tier superior grade, nourishes and strengthens divine consciousness. One bottle contains ten pills, exchangeable for 450 points."

Lin Wanshuang smiled and said, "This is practical. If you want to use it for a long time, the points required will be considerable."

The section on martial arts techniques and secret methods.

"The Mysterious Turtle Sea-Suppressing Technique (Fragment - Can be cultivated to the late Core Formation stage): Dual attributes of water and earth, extremely strong defense. Exchange points: 3,200."

Chen Qian raised an eyebrow: "You can get a Core Formation cultivation technique so easily?"

Lin Wanshuang nodded: "Yes, these things are simply impossible to buy in Li Kingdom unless you go to the top auction houses. But here they can be easily obtained, you just need to kill more monsters."

"Blood Burning Escape Technique: A premium-grade secret technique that allows one to burn their life essence to escape and save their life. Exchange points: 200."

She sighed, "Life-saving items, no matter how expensive, must be kept on hand. This price is fair."

"Even Nascent Soul cultivation insights?" Chen Qian suddenly noticed a line of golden characters flashing brightly on the light screen in the cultivation technique area—

"Nascent Soul Condensation Experience (Fire Attribute, Humanity Grade): Jade Slip of [Cangkong Sect, Fire Crow True Monarch's Nascent Soul Condensation Experience and Insights] Exchange Points: 500,000!"

Lin Wanshuang gasped, her voice filled with longing, "My god... Condensing a Nascent Soul! 500,000 points! How many demonic beasts would I have to kill to achieve that?!"

Chen Qian also recovered from his shock and chuckled, "Fifty top-tier demon kings! It seems that as long as you are strong enough, there is nothing you can't exchange for."

Lin Wanshuang nodded vigorously, "This points leaderboard is the path to heaven!"

The area for rare and unusual materials.

"Millennial Lightning-Struck Ironwood Core (Tier 3, High Grade): Main material for refining lightning-attribute magic weapons. Exchange Points: 2,000"

"One drop of essence blood from a fourth-tier demon emperor, the 'Wind-Splitting Bull Beast' (diluted): for body tempering, talisman crafting, or spirit beast nurturing. Exchange points: 3,500."

"Kunpeng remnant feather (suspected to contain traces of wind and spatial rules): extremely valuable for research and comprehension. Exchange points: 18,000."

Upon seeing the words "Kunpeng," Chen Qian's heart stirred slightly.

As he flipped through the display screen, something Chen Qian desperately wanted to obtain suddenly caught his eye.

"Millennial Soul-Nourishing Wood Core (Second-Rank, Mid-Grade): The core of one of the three great spiritual plants of heaven and earth, extremely rare. Exchange Points: 880,000."

"?!" Chen Qian was speechless. "So expensive!"

This thing is the key to Xiaoyin's ability to condense pure vaginal fluid, and the good news is that it has finally been found.

The bad news, needless to say.

Right now... I don't have a single point!

Finally, the two arrived at the daily supply area.

The place was bustling with people, occupying an entire floor of the Wanxiang Baoge building, and was extremely lively.
