My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 195 Great Opportunity

Somewhere near Wujiaji,
A massive fissure several meters wide tore the ground apart, the winding cracks stretching for miles, revealing a bottomless abyss that seemed to lead straight to the depths of the earth.

This crack in the earth,
It seems to have been affected by the dramatic collapse of Wujiaji.

The source of the crack is adjacent to the huge abyss pit where Wujiaji is located.

Standing on top, looking down,

Beneath the deep soil, one can vaguely see the crisscrossing caves and fissures in the underground rock strata.

However, given the current dramatic changes,

Not many people pay attention to these things.

Boom!

Above the crack in the earth
With a deafening roar, a surge of powerful magical sword energy swept outwards, unleashing its power in all directions, leaving a deep sword mark on the ground.

Simultaneously,

A figure in black robes was sliced ​​in two without any resistance.
He died on the spot!

As the last man in black robes was caught up and killed,

Shen Changchuan stood still and casually made a gesture.
The storage bag hanging from the corpse that had been cut in half not far away was then lifted by an invisible force and flew toward his palm.

"This is... a peach?"

He took out an object enveloped in white light from the storage bag.

It is also the treasure that Nangong Cheng mentioned.

After carefully examining the items enveloped by the white magical aura,
Shen Changchuan raised an eyebrow and said with some surprise.

It wasn't disappointment,

Although separated by a protective layer of spiritual light, Shen Changchuan could still sense the abundant spiritual energy and immense spiritual power contained within it.

However, no one expected that the treasure Nangong Cheng mentioned was a peach.

"To be precise, it's a spirit peach!"

Nangong Cheng, who had recovered somewhat, caught up and explained.

"Could it be the legendary Wu family's plant?"

Shen Changchuan quickly searched his memory,
I quickly recalled the information I had gathered about the Wu family when I visited Wujiaji.

It is said that the Wu family possesses a spirit peach tree.
That's why the tradition has been passed down through generations, and there's no shortage of talented people.

I've also heard that...
The fruit from that spirit peach tree has a slight effect in helping one advance to the Nascent Soul realm.

"Yes."

"And if I'm not mistaken, this spirit peach is from the main trunk of the mother tree of the spirit peach tree that the Wu family owns."

"Judging from the spiritual essence contained in this peach, it must have been cultivated on the tree for at least thirty years. A spiritual peach that is more than ten years old is the rare spiritual object that is rumored to have a slight auxiliary effect on the advancement to the Nascent Soul stage."

“Cultivating spirit peaches is not that simple. It is said that the longer they are cultivated, the more resources are required. Even if they are deliberately not harvested, many spirit peaches will ripen and wither within twenty years at most. Thirty-year-old ones are probably something the entire Wu family has not been able to produce since the establishment of its foundation. They are basically consumed internally, and outsiders rarely get to see them.”

Nangong Cheng came to Shen Changchuan's side.

He glanced at the spirit peach in her hand with a complicated expression.

Back when he was at the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining, he had the opportunity to obtain a five-year-old spiritual peach from the Wu family, which allowed him to break through and advance successfully.

Therefore, they know quite a bit about the spiritual root of the Wu family.

Thirty-year-old spirit peaches
This is definitely a Foundation Establishment spiritual item that can significantly increase the success rate of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. Leaving aside the fact that the Wu family never shares such a precious item, which is practically a strategic resource,

Even if the Wu family were to actually put it up for sale,
Don't even think about getting your hands on it without at least 20,000 spirit stones!
Knowing the preciousness of such a spiritual object, Nangong Cheng did not want it to fall into the hands of those demonic cultivators, which is why he had Shen Changchuan exterminate them.

After listening to Nangong Cheng's story,

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"More than 20,000 spirit stones? That's too outrageous! It would be better to sell it and buy a few Nascent Soul Pills instead."

He couldn't help but complain.

However, as soon as these words were spoken,
Nangong Cheng blinked, paused for a moment, and then looked at Shen Changchuan with a strange expression.

"what happened?"

"Buying Nascent Soul Pills? Several of them?"

"Is there a problem? Aren't Out-of-Body Pills supposed to cost six or seven thousand spirit stones each?"

"."

Looking at Shen Changchuan's puzzled face, it didn't seem like he was faking it at all.

Nangong Cheng was speechless.

"Brother Shen, this price... is it your Shen family's internal price? Don't mistake your Shen family's internal price for the same price as outsiders."

The place was somewhat remote, and there was no one around. Nangong Cheng didn't beat around the bush and directly pointed out Shen Changchuan's true identity.

Shen Changchuan didn't care.

The pseudonym is for outsiders; there's no need for insiders to make it mysterious.

"What do you mean? Perhaps the Nascent Soul Pills are more expensive outside, but even if they are a few thousand or ten thousand spirit stones more expensive, they should still be able to be bought, right?"

Shen Changchuan didn't react for a moment.

During the two and a half years I spent in the Shen family compound, in order to pretend to be an ordinary person and not dare to cultivate diligently, I could only try my best to collect some information about the cultivation world to make up for my shortcomings and prepare for leaving the Shen family compound in the future.

The exchange shop within the Shen family was one of his main sources of knowledge about prices in the cultivation world.

He had looked into it before, and the Soul-Separating Pill was priced at six or seven thousand spirit stones within the family.

His understanding of the price of the Out-of-Body Pill

This is how it came about.

But now it seems that
The situation doesn't seem so simple?
at this time,

Shen Changchuan also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

"Brother Shen, let's put it this way: even the Wu family has difficulty obtaining a Nascent Soul Pill. Do you think the Wu family, after years of hard work, can't come up with tens of thousands of spirit stones?"

"Ah, this"

"The price of the Nascent Soul Pill in your family is probably a drastic price cut to cultivate more Nascent Soul level experts, and there must be various conditions involved, such as limiting the number of purchases, and after advancing to the Nascent Soul level, being driven by the family to guard a place or do some task to repay the family, for a certain number of years, etc. You can't really think that the Nascent Soul Pill is only worth a few thousand spirit stones."

Nangong Cheng's words sounded like a guess, but his tone was full of certainty.

Because cultivation families generally follow this system.

"Your Shen family has a master at the Purple Mansion Divine Travel level, who can contact higher levels of the cultivation world. You have no shortage of channels to obtain Nascent Soul Pills. However, for the general rogue cultivators outside, and even for Nascent Soul families, they cannot access that level. Nascent Soul Pills are completely priceless!"

Nangong Cheng's voice was tinged with emotion.
At the same time, he glanced at Shen Changchuan, hesitated for a moment, and said vaguely:
"After all, powerful forces like the Shen family of Tiannan, who stand atop the mountain, do not want too many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to emerge from their subordinate families."
