Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

Later, the elder who got the fire essence died after taking it back to the clan due to worsening injuries.

Over the past few hundred years, many elders have thought about this bundle of fire essence.

But the elder who brought the fire essence back to the clan said before his death that the fire essence can only be given to the Zhang family monk who saves the family from life and death.

For hundreds of years, the Zhang family has enjoyed peace and has not faced a life-and-death crisis.

This has been shelved for a hundred years. Unexpectedly, the clan leader took out this precious fire essence and gave it to Zhang Xuan today.

Although envious, everyone had no objection. After all, if Zhang Xuan had not taken out the cerebrospinal fluid, the current crisis of extinction would not be resolved.

"Before that, I want to go back and see my neighbors in Temple Street, okay?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Yes, please go back quickly, Ten Elders, I have something to discuss with other elders." Zhang Yuhuai said.

"Okay." Zhang Xuan left in a hurry after speaking.

Zhang Yuhuai looked at Zhang Xuan's hurriedly leaving back and fell into deep thought.

He was old and shrewd, of course he knew the purpose of Zhang Xuan's rush back.

He must have taken advantage of the chaos to buy some abandoned supplies.

Now the entire inner ring of Xianmao Valley was in a state of acute panic, and many things were being sold.

Only a few elders had information about the reversal of the situation.

And this information had great commercial value.

As the leader of resolving this crisis, Zhang Yuhuai didn't mind letting the other party get more benefits.

He even kept several other elders to create some good conditions for Zhang Xuan.

For the intention of the patriarch, none of the elders present felt unfair.

Moreover, Zhang Xuan's worth was not high, and he was afraid that the benefits he could get in the chaos were limited.

In the end, it was still these elders who harvested these outsiders or weak branches.

Zhang Xuan rushed back to the gathering place of Temple Street.

"Is Uncle Sanqian here?" Zhang Xuan shouted loudly.

"The temple master is here." Zhang Sanqian answered in the crowd.

"What is the most expensive thing now?" Zhang Xuan asked anxiously.

"The most expensive things now are magic tools and talismans. They have increased by dozens of times. A magic tool that used to cost dozens of spirit stones now costs hundreds or even thousands of yuan, and it is not certain that you can buy it."

"How many of the defense and escape talismans that I borrowed from the clan treasury last time are left?"

"There are more than 4,000 left."

"Sell all the more than 4,000 talismans. I still have 15,000 talismans left here, sell them all too."

"Ah?" Zhang Sanqian was shocked.

"Sell them if I ask you to."

"Yes, temple master."

Zhang Xuan fumbled in his storage bag for a while and took out all the fifty or sixty magic tools he had obtained in the secret realm of the Fairy Cat Cave last time.

It turned out that he was afraid that a strong branch of the Zhang family would find these magic tools, so he didn't dare to make a move.

Now that the beast tide is besieging and the inner ring is in chaos, it is estimated that no one will notice these magic tools.

"Sell all these magic tools too."

"Where did the temple master get so many magic tools?" Zhang Sanqian was shocked.

"Selling them in secret, you know?" Zhang Xuan said in a low voice.

"I understand."

Zhang Xuan took out another storage bag, which contained elixirs, spirit stones and other items, and threw it directly to Zhang Sanqian.

"What has dropped the most in the market now?" Zhang Xuan continued to ask.

"In addition to life-saving items such as magic tools, talismans and elixirs, the other items have dropped a lot, but the most dropped is the merit points. Originally, 1 merit point could be exchanged for 100 spirit stones, but now 1 merit point can only be exchanged for 1 spirit stone, and the shops have also dropped a lot."

"What about the spiritual fields?" Zhang Xuan asked excitedly.

"The first-level middle-grade spiritual fields are basically in the hands of the strong branches. I haven't heard of any strong branch selling spiritual fields to the outside world."

"Okay." Zhang Xuan sighed.

"Temple master, has the situation changed..." Zhang Sanqian seemed to understand Zhang Xuan's intention.

"After selling these talismans and magic tools, buy merit points in the market and the inner and outer ring shops along Jiuding Lake. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Zhang Sanqian nodded.

"Find a few more trustworthy people in Temple Street. These things must be done within an hour."

"Okay, I will arrange for someone to talk to the shop owners and distribute these magic tools and talismans immediately."

"Also, you have to hurry up to buy merit points."

"I understand, temple owner, don't worry."

After arranging all this, Zhang Xuan felt relieved to enter a secret place for cultivation and start doing business.

"This clan leader is really nice." Zhang Xuan said with a playful tone.

He took out a jade bottle directly.

It was the fire essence that was sealed inside.

He opened the bottle stopper and a small blue flame jumped out.

Zhang Xuan activated his spiritual power and directly sucked the fire essence over.

First, the essence and blood recognized the master.

He immediately established a connection with this beam of fire essence.

"I heard that the second-level fire essence can generate spiritual intelligence, but I don't know if it's true or not." Zhang Xuan said to himself.

He put the fire essence into his dantian and nourished it with the pure holy fire for a while.

The blue flame of the fire essence became more vigorous.

He directly used the fire essence to roast the spine and clavicle.

Spinal fluid flowed out of the spine and clavicle, which was indeed much better than the original effect of using the pure holy fire.

Half an hour later, the Nine Elders Palace.

The clan leader looked at the clan elders present.

"Now Fairy Cat Valley is in trouble, facing the siege of the beast tide. These non-monk cultivators do not think of resisting the enemy, but instead think of ways to sell their assets and escape. When you harvest this time, try to pick these non-monk cultivators. Disperse."

The clan leader waved his sleeves, and the clan elders immediately drove the flying boat or spiritual weapon and rushed back to the clan without stopping.

Soon, each strong branch was secretly acquiring shops, spiritual fields and merit points in Fairy Cat Valley.

Some panicked and desperate monks saw that these worthless things could be exchanged for spiritual stones, and sold them without hesitation.

Once the formation was broken, everyone could only escape by their own skills. What use were these shops, spiritual fields, and merit points?

However, as more and more strong branches acquired shops, spiritual fields, and merit points.

The people in the inner circle gradually reacted.

I am afraid that the situation will be reversed.

The prices of shops, spiritual fields, and merit points soared.

Even later, no one sold shops or spiritual fields at all.

Most of the monks who sold their shops, spiritual fields, and merit points early were not from other families.

They had no intention of defending the Fairy Cat Valley.

Once the formation was broken, they would definitely save their lives.

Now they understood, but it was too late. They cried and cried, and they were in great pain.

Each strong branch became stronger after this wave of harvest.

There were not many opportunities for such harvest, and it would only happen once every few hundred years.

However, this time, it was enough for each strong branch to eat for a hundred years and ensure a hundred years of prosperity.

Zhang Xuan finally finished tempering the spinal fluid for the 30 people's initiation, and the ancient black jade was full.

There was only enough for three initiations left in the spine and clavicle.

As soon as he went out, he saw Zhang Sanqian with a happy face.

"How did things go?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Master, everything has been done. There are about 150 shops in the outer ring of Jiuding Lake, most of which have been acquired. There are 100 shops in the inner ring, and we have acquired more than 70 of them."

"Good, very good." Zhang Xuan also grinned.

"The spiritual fields we acquired are relatively small. We only acquired about 10 acres of first-level medium-quality spiritual fields."

"What about merit points?"

"Merit points need to be traded one by one with the household registration certificate. The acquisition speed is relatively slow. Moreover, after more than half an hour, each strong branch also began to acquire in large quantities. We only acquired 100,000 merit points."

"Good, it is already very good to have such a harvest."

Zhang Xuan nodded, and took the flying boat to Jiulao Sheng Palace again.
