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

How about we offer Chapter 46 at a 90% discount?

Inside the first light barrier was a treasure shaped like a carriage. Chen Qian stepped forward, picked up the jade slip next to it, and pressed it against his forehead to examine it.

This is a top-tier second-order flying artifact that can be propelled by spirit stones, with a top speed comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages.

If a suitable flying beast can be found to pull it, the speed can increase significantly.

The required contribution points for redemption are 20.

The treasure inside the second light barrier was a glittering talisman.

Unlike the first and second-tier talismans that Chen Qian was more familiar with, this talisman was significantly larger and was made from a piece of fur from an unknown monster.

Only after checking the instruction jade slip did I realize that it was actually a top-tier third-order barrier-breaking talisman.

The barrier-breaking talisman has always been a strategic weapon in the cultivation world, and at crucial moments, it can even have a decisive effect.

For example, when faced with a restriction that is extremely difficult to break, having such a top-tier third-order restriction-breaking talisman can save a lot of time and effort.

If controlled by a master of formations, the weak point of a third-order formation could be found, and the barrier-breaking talisman could be used to break the formation of a celestial sect in one strike.

This demonstrates the rarity and value of high-level barrier-breaking talismans.

The required contribution points for redemption are 30.

The third and fourth light shields were empty, so Chen Qian simply passed by them.

They arrived at the fifth light shield, which was currently the most interesting to Chen Qian, but he could only admire it from afar.

This is a full suit of black armor, with slight damage on the left shoulder and lower right hem.

It floats silently, its surface flowing with dark golden spiritual patterns, like a sleeping ferocious beast.

Chen Qian observed carefully for a few breaths before picking up the explanatory jade slip to learn more.

This armor is called the Xuan Gang Undying Armor. It is forged from thousands of dragon-scale-shaped Xuan Gang Iron pieces. Each scale is engraved with miniature defensive array patterns, and a palm-sized "Tai Xu Xuan Jade" is inlaid in the center, which is the energy core of this armor.

The Xuan Gang Undying Armor has reached the top level of the third tier and possesses the ability to self-recover.

If the master nourishes it with magic power and essence, the damage can be quickly restored.

Even without a master, it can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and store it in the core Taixu Xuanyu for slow repair.

If one can find high-grade materials such as Xuan Tie Jing (玄铁精), Wu Tu Ling Sui (戊土灵髓), and Yang Hu Mu (养魂木) and melt them into the armor, and nurture its spirituality through long-term warming and refining, it can not only advance to a fourth-tier magic weapon, but also has a high chance of being promoted to a spiritual treasure with limitless power.

In that great battle a thousand years ago, Chen Tuyuan fought three cultivators of the same level with this armor, and finally killed all three enemies by himself. Although the armor was broken and he was injured, he managed to protect his heart meridian and escaped to safety.

Unfortunately, it perished due to severe injuries, and the armor lost its owner. Even after thousands of years, nourished by spiritual energy, it has not yet recovered to its full potential.

Required contribution points: 800 million!
Chen Qian was speechless. He doubted whether the entire Fenglin Valley could fetch 800 million.

Inside the sixth light shield was a yellowish-brown bell, with graceful and exquisite lines. The nine-sided sound cone in the center of the bell shimmered with a captivating, eerie light.

According to the jade slip, this treasure is called the Nine-Aperture Soul-Breaking Bell, a mid-grade magic weapon. The sound it emits can disturb the mind and sting the soul.

Such magical treasures are difficult to forge, the materials are hard to find, and they are extremely rare, making them precious auxiliary treasures in the cultivation world.

Contribution points required for redemption: 300 million!
Chen Qian was envious, but his strength was too weak and his pockets too empty. He couldn't afford to exchange the items, and even if they were given to him for free, he didn't know when he would be able to use them.

He shook his head and reluctantly walked towards the last light shield.

The seventh light shield is also empty; only the last light shield has something inside.

The thing floating inside was something Chen Qian couldn't understand, because it was actually a "broken" thing.

It's exactly what it sounds like from the literal meaning; this thing looks like the remains of a round cauldron with only one leg left and a bit of the bottom attached.

What value could such a thing have? Chen Qian picked up the last jade slip and examined it with great curiosity.

Even Tu Yuangong didn't understand the use of this treasure, but he firmly believed that it had an extraordinary origin.

This was because he found it by chance in a cave left behind by a Nascent Soul True Monarch when he broke through to the Core Formation stage in his early years and left the Li Kingdom to train in the wilderness.

Although the purpose of this treasure has been unknown for over a hundred years, and apart from being exceptionally sturdy and impossible to refine, it has not elicited any response from any examination, the fact that a Nascent Soul True Monarch placed it alongside his most important treasures suggests that it must be a precious item.

In the final moments of his life, after designating the Xuan Kong Tower as the family's secret vault, Chen Tuyuan still placed this treasure inside the eighth light shield on the third floor, leaving it for a future member of the family destined to possess it.

To prevent future generations from not valuing this item enough, he set an auspicious number as the contribution point requirement for exchanging it: 38000 points!
This is already the price of an ordinary top-tier spiritual artifact. Even a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment would feel the pinch. You can't help but take it seriously.

Chen Qian shook his head, put down the explanatory jade slip, and thought to himself, what kind of madman would exchange such a broken thing for something so expensive?
If even a Core Formation cultivator like you can't understand this, we can only hope that a Nascent Soul True Monarch will emerge from your family in the future to replace it.

Hmm, isn't that me?

Let me consider it again after I become a Nascent Soul True Monarch!
Just as he was about to turn and leave, a strange movement came from the gray bead world in his mind, and a slightly urgent fluctuation reached his soul.

? !
There really is a ghost! Isn't the Gray Pearl World supposed to be unable to sense its surroundings? I haven't even asked if this thing can be replaced yet! Besides, I can't afford to replace it!

Chen Qian, who originally wanted to leave, now had his body almost pressed against the light shield.

According to feedback from the Gray Pearl World, this object constantly emits a mysterious fluctuation that is transmitted to Chen Qian.

Chen Qian was completely unaware, but for the Gray Pearl World, the fluctuations were like waves constantly hitting it.

If He still can't sense it, then there must be a ghost.

We must get it, no matter the cost!
This is the core meaning of the feedback information from the Gray Bead World.

Chen Qian was also helpless. He only had 4500 contribution points. Where was he supposed to find more than 30,000 to make up the difference?

After thinking it over, Chen Qian made up his mind to give it a try, since he knew he would never have a chance if he didn't try.

"Senior Yanling! This junior has something to ask you!"

Chen Qian cleared his throat and said loudly.

A few breaths later, the space on the third floor rippled like water, and a red phoenix gradually appeared, its phoenix eyes fixed on Chen Qian, and a clear bell sound came: "Have you chosen what you want to exchange?"

Chen Qian dared not stare directly at the phoenix, instead lowering his gaze slightly and respectfully replied, "This junior would like to ask senior if the exchange price of this treasure can be discounted?"

"Ok?"

The phoenix was somewhat surprised and looked at the fragment of the round cauldron in the eighth light shield. "You actually want to exchange for this?"

"Do you recognize this object? Do you know its origin?"

Chen Qian could only smile wryly and wave his hand, saying, "This junior does not recognize it, but I feel that this item is very much connected to me. If possible, this junior would like to exchange it."

Phoenix was not in a hurry. She was no longer a creature in the ordinary sense. Although she had become a spirit of the array, she not only retained some of the emotions she had before her death, but her intelligence had also improved to the point that it was almost the same as that of an adult human.

Originally a top-tier third-order spirit beast, it had not survived the transformation tribulation, and its intelligence was only comparable to that of a seven or eight-year-old child.

Now, not only has her intelligence greatly increased, but having witnessed the joys and sorrows, the ebb and flow of the Chen family over the past thousand years, and experienced the vicissitudes of life, she possesses remarkable wisdom.

It was rare to have a junior colleague she didn't dislike, with whom she could exchange a few words. The other person's actions also piqued her curiosity, which made her feel happy.

"A discount isn't out of the question, how much can you offer?"

"Uh—," Chen Qian scratched his head sheepishly, "Can I get a 10% discount?"
