Chapter 84 - 84: Someone Sent by the Hong Family (1)
At this moment.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked at the rows of treasures on the exchange list.
The first thing they noticed was the five-element spiritual crystals that could help Foundation Establishment cultivators break through to the Violet Palace Realm.
There were a total of three crystals.
They were the wood-element Azure Dragon Wood Crystal, the earth-element Earth Spirit Crystal, and the metal-element White Emperor Gold Crystal.
Next was the Purple True Pill that could protect a cultivator’s meridians and soul.
However, the contribution points needed to exchange for each of these treasures were simply astronomical.
To Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, it was not a problem to exchange for it.
They didn’t want to exchange for it because it was not of much use to them.
However, Shen Ruyan still spent a large sum of contribution points to exchange for a Purple True Pill.
Needless to say, Shen Ruyan did not exchange this Purple True Pill for herself, but for the family.
Coupled with the Crimson Flame Crystal from the mine, it might be able to help the Shen Immortal Family gain another Violet Palace Realm cultivator.
This was also a form of repayment to her family that had nurtured and raised her.
Next, Shen Ruyan used all her contribution points to exchange for a Lightning Stone.
This Lightning Stone was a rather precious lightning-element ore among Level 3 precious materials.
It could be used to refine Level 3 Dharma treasures or be fused into the Dharma treasure embryo to increase the power and quality of the Dharma treasure embryo.
Without a doubt, Shen Ruyan exchanged for this stone for her Thunderbolt Lightning Fire Sword.
After Shen Ruyan finished exchanging for the treasures she needed, Jiang Chengxuan had also finished choosing the items he needed.
A Five Elements True Technique for Violet Palace Realm cultivator and a high-grade Level 2 defensive Dharma artifact.
It was called the Sea-Ring Bell.
It was made of Brass Heavenly Jade, Water Condensation True Jade, and Void Golden Crystal.
Not only did it have extremely strong defensive functions, but it also had the power to reflect some attacks.
Among all the Level 2 high-grade defensive Dharma artifacts, it could be considered top-grade.
Previously, in order to block the attack of the Stealthy Bat, his Purple-Gold Spirit Shield was completely destroyed, and the Green Wood Heavenly Shield was also severely damaged.
Although he had already repaired it, a mid-grade Level 2 defensive Dharma artifact was no longer enough.
Now that he had exchanged for this Sea-Ring Bell, Jiang Chengxuan’s attack and defense could be considered perfect for his realm.
After everyone had chosen the treasures they wanted, Shen Yuanlong did not continue to keep everyone here. He immediately announced that the meeting was over.
A few days later.
The treasures that Jiang Chengxuan and the others exchanged for were sent to them.
What followed that was that many people chose to enter seclusion to cultivate.
Among them were the family head, Shen Daoming, Jiang Chengxuan, and Shen Ruyan.
Shen Daoming wanted to adjust his state and prepare to attempt to break through to the Violet Palace Realm.
Shen Ruyan was in a hurry to fuse the Lightning Stone into her Level 3 Dharma treasure embryo.
As for Jiang Chengxuan, he wanted to try to break through to the late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm and refine the Level 2 high-grade defensive Dharma artifact, the Sea-Ring Bell.
He returned to the cultivation room in his cave abode.
Jiang Chengxuan immediately took out a pill from his body.
It was the Profound Essence Pill used to break through to the late-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He had exchanged it from the treasure vault of the Shen Immortal Family.
In the past two years, Jiang Chengxuan had already perfected his sixth level Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation through constant battles with demon beasts.
At this moment, he was only one step away from breaking through to the late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm.
When Jiang Chengxuan consumed the Profound Essence Pill in his hand, the True Essence in his body became abnormally active.
He was not in a hurry. He calmly began to circulate the Five Elements True Technique over and over again.
Once, twice, ten times, twenty times, thirty times…
When he circulated the Five Elements True Technique for the thirtieth time, a light cracking sound suddenly came from his body.
It sounded as if some obstacle had been broken.
A wave of True Essence that was nearly 40% thicker than before suddenly began to swim in his body.
A smile appeared on Jiang Chengxuan’s face.
Seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, success!
At this moment, he had a feeling that if he faced the attack of the Stealthy Bat again, he would definitely not be in such a sorry state.
Half a year later.
Jiang Chengxuan had already completely consolidated his seventh level Foundation Establishment Realm.
Therefore, he took out the Sea-ring Bell and began to refine it.
At the same time.
An elder at the Violet Palace Realm from the Hong family suddenly descended on the Shen Immortal Family.
This person’s name was Hong Chengfei, and he was the ancestor of Hong Wentao’s family line.
When he brought people to the Shen Immortal Family, it immediately alarmed everyone.
Ancestor Shen Yuanlong even personally appeared and greeted Hong Chengfei.
“Fellow Daoist Hong, you’ve come from afar. Is there anything you need?”
Hong Chengfei smiled at Shen Yuanlong and said,
“Brother Yuanlong, since you know that I came from afar, why didn’t you invite me in?”
Hearing his words, a trace of anger immediately appeared in the eyes of some cultivators of the Shen Immortal Family around Shen Yuanlong.
Shen Yuanlong was not angry. When he heard this, he immediately smiled and made an inviting gesture to Hong Chengfei and the others.
“My apologies. Fellow Daoist Hong, please.”
As he spoke, he personally led Hong Chengfei and the others to the guest hall.
After the disciples of the Shen Immortal Family brought them spiritual tea, Shen Yuanlong looked at Hong Chengfei and said,
“Fellow Daoist Hong, can you tell me what brought you here?”
Hong Chengfei picked up the spiritual tea in front of him and took a sip. Then, he looked at Shen Yuanlong with a faint smile and said,
“Brother Yuanlong, you’re such a smart person. Don’t tell me you really don’t know my motive for coming to the Shen Immortal Family?”
Hearing this, the smile on Shen Yuanlong’s face finally faded.
He looked at Hong Chengfei and slowly shook his head.
“I’m sorry, Fellow Daoist Hong. I really don’t know why you’re here.”
“Fine.”
Hong Chengfei shrugged helplessly and put down the teacup in his hand. He looked at Shen Yuanlong and slowly spat out three words.
“Violet Palace Jade.”
“What?”
Upon hearing Hong Chengfei’s words, the expressions of Shen Yuanlong and the Shen family members present changed drastically.
Shen Yuanlong narrowed his eyes and looked at Hong Chengfei coldly.
“Fellow Daoist Hong, I don’t quite understand what you mean.
“Why? Could it be that you juniors of the Hong family want to take back what Ancestor Hong gave to us?”
