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

Chapter 37 The Hundred-Year-Old Vermilion Fruit! Golden Soul Sand!
Upon hearing this, Chen Qian gave Chen Yunzheng an approving look. Although this kid was impolite and arrogant, he was quite straightforward and not a sore loser.

As agreed, the second round was supposed to be Chen Yunzheng's turn to attack Chen Qian, but seeing the speed Chen Qian displayed, Chen Yunzheng knew that he couldn't possibly defeat him in one move, so he was bound to lose.

Chen Qian was quite satisfied with this result; as he expected, the sparring match ended swiftly and decisively.

My impression of Chen Yunzheng, that little brat, has improved a lot.

He's just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy. He's been in a high position and has excellent talent since childhood. Isn't it normal for him to be a little arrogant?
As for being impolite?

Then beat them a few more times, and they'll behave once they're subdued.

Young people should always be given opportunities to grow.

Chen Qian didn't say anything more. At this point, anything he said would sound like mockery, so there was no need for it.

He smiled and nodded at Chen Yunzheng, then picked up several wooden and jade boxes from the ground, opened them one by one, and examined them carefully.

The first wooden box contained dozens of talismans, mostly of first-tier mid-grade and high-grade quality, including various fireball talismans, wind blade talismans, wind shield talismans, golden thread talismans, and vine entanglement talismans. There was even a second-tier low-grade Purple Heaven Thunder Talisman.

Seeing Chen Qian pick up the Purple Thunder Talisman, Chen Yunzheng's expression immediately became somewhat unnatural.

This is his biggest trump card; if released at the right time, it could even kill a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

Chen Qian smiled and put the talisman back.

Although he also really wanted it, he knew that a gentleman doesn't take what others cherish, and taking away the other party's biggest trump card in this situation would be going too far.

Moreover, among these talismans, what he wanted most was not this Purple Heaven Thunder Talisman, but a top-tier first-order Earth Escape Talisman.

That's right, he really got incredibly lucky and stumbled upon another Earth Escape Talisman, which was exactly what he needed.

The jade boxes contained medicinal herbs that had just been harvested.

After several months of study, Chen Qian has gained a lot of knowledge in various aspects, and he recognizes most of these medicinal herbs.

They are basically all 10 to 20 years old and can refine various pills needed for the Qi Refining stage.

Chen Qian wasn't particularly interested.

However, one of the jade boxes contained a bright red spiritual fruit the size of an egg. After careful observation, Chen Qian finally confirmed that it was a century-old Vermilion Fruit.

For innate martial artists and early-stage Qi Refining cultivators, the century-old Vermilion Fruit is a true divine object. Its greatest function is to greatly enhance the body's blood and qi, widen and strengthen the internal meridians, and improve cultivation aptitude.

These functions are most needed by ordinary martial artists and early-stage Qi Refining cultivators, but their effects are much smaller for mid-to-late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

It is almost useless for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

These effects are precisely the various aspects that cultivators improve and strengthen as they advance in their cultivation.

However, if a person gains these improvements right from the start of their cultivation, their foundation will be much more solid, and they will naturally be able to cultivate faster and go further.

The Vermilion Fruit needs to grow in extremely sunny places and takes a hundred years to mature, so it is very rare on the market. This makes it quite expensive, even though it is only useful to low-level cultivators.

The principle that scarcity increases value is universally applicable.

Therefore, its position is quite awkward: low-level cultivators need it but can't afford it, while high-level cultivators don't need it.

The various spiritual fruits and medicines in the cultivation world are also needed by demonic beasts.

However, these naturally occurring essences of the earth, before they mature, not only have significantly reduced effectiveness but also have considerable side effects.

This is why a large number of cultivators are able to find various opportunities in the wilderness; otherwise, they would have been devoured by endless demonic beasts long ago.

Chen Qian certainly wanted to get his hands on this Vermilion Fruit. Not only would Feng Momo need it, but his future offspring would also need it, and he himself would need it too.

Because it grows in extremely yang places for a long time, the Vermilion Fruit also carries a trace of yang evil energy, which is of great benefit to his cultivation of the Evil Energy Body Tempering Technique.

As long as he plants the Vermilion Fruit in the Gray Pearl World and creates a suitable growing environment, he will have a continuous supply of Vermilion Fruit to enjoy.

The current world level is too low, the rules are severely incomplete, and it is not yet possible to manipulate time to accelerate the ripening of elixirs.

However, simulating a suitable growing environment for spiritual herbs and providing them with various nutrients can significantly accelerate their growth and maturation. Finally, there was a large wooden box on the ground. Chen Qian opened it and found it filled with miscellaneous spiritual materials and ores.

Chen Qian didn't mind, and looked at the items one by one, but didn't find anything particularly interesting.

Just as I was about to put everything back and close the box, I suddenly received a message from the Gray Pearl World.

Chen Qian paused, his face remaining expressionless, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

At this moment, he held an oval-shaped bluish-gray stone in his hand, inconspicuous and not much different from the stones that could be found everywhere by the river or the roadside.

However, according to feedback from the Gray Pearl World, this stone contains a trace amount of Golden Soul Sand.

Because of its extremely low content, even master craftsmen might not be able to extract it.

But the Gray Pearl World is possible.

What is Golden Soul Sand?
Chen Qian had no idea, but the feedback indicated that it was an extremely high-grade metal-type spiritual material.

If the Gray Pearl World could absorb it, it would not only greatly enhance the metal element rules of the Gray Pearl World, but it could also generate something that the pale golden monster egg could absorb, replenishing its bloodline foundation.

So this is an incredibly valuable item!

Based on Chen Qian's continuous learning about demonic beasts and the information feedback from the Gray Pearl World, he can now be basically certain that the pale golden demonic beast egg is the egg of a Golden-Winged Wind Falcon with a Heavenly-level bloodline.

What is the concept of a Celestial-level bloodline?
In other words, when one grows to the limit, one can reach the realm of human transformation, comparable to a Nascent Soul stage monster.

However, it's hard to say how long it will take for them to grow.

Monsters generally live more than ten times longer than human cultivators of the same level, so their growth rate is naturally more than ten times slower.

Of course, with plenty of suitable resources, the growth rate can be greatly accelerated by constantly consuming and absorbing them.

If its bloodline foundation is further replenished and strengthened, wouldn't it be possible for it to reach the level of a semi-true spirit?

Must win!

Never let it go!
And so, Chen Qian's enjoyable selection journey finally came to an end.

Four items were placed in front of Chen Yunzheng: a talisman for escaping into the earth, a century-old vermilion fruit, a bluish-gray stone, and the corpse of a green rock python.

As for why the carcass of the blue rock python was chosen?
That's because this kind of python has a faint dragon bloodline.

It is an excellent food source for the soon-to-be-born Golden-winged Falcon.

The Golden-Winged Falcon has the potential to evolve into the True Spirit Golden-Winged Roc. The Golden-Winged Roc feeds on true dragons, and the Golden-Winged Falcon also has a strong preference for monsters with dragon bloodlines.

Seeing this, Chen Yunzheng's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and he said stiffly, "Didn't you say you were going to choose two items?"

Chen Qian smiled and said, "It's true that you should choose two items. I'll make up the difference for any extras."

With a flick of his wrist, he took out a bottle of pills from his storage bag and handed it to Chen Yunzheng, saying, "This is a bottle of Qi Harmony Pills. How about it? You're not losing out, are you?"

Chen Yunzheng was somewhat taken aback. He stared at Chen Qian with a probing gaze before uncorking the jade bottle containing the pills.

Upon seeing ten emerald-green pills in the bottle, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted into his nostrils, instantly invigorating him.

It is indeed a Qi-Harmony Pill suitable for cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.

After sealing the bottle, Chen Yunzheng said, "You actually managed to exchange this kind of pill? It seems you're quite extraordinary; no wonder your combat strength is so high."

Chen Qian shrugged and laughed nonchalantly, saying, "The path of cultivation is about fighting against fate and going against the heavens. Everyone has their own destiny."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yunzheng stopped dwelling on it and said seriously, "You're right. Everyone's destiny is different. I believe I won't be any worse than you in the future!"

He bowed slightly to Chen Qian, gathered up the rest of his belongings, and turned to leave gracefully.
