Chapter 305: Spiritual Items for Opening the Purple Mansion
"Spiritual items for opening the Purple Mansion."
Upon hearing Su Fan's reminder, everyone suddenly woke up; if the Su Family could produce a Purple Mansion cultivator, it would be far more cost-effective than gaining several Foundation Establishment cultivators.
A Purple Mansion cultivator is already considered high-level in Zheng Guo, capable of becoming half a chess player rather than just a chess piece.
Aside from the three Golden Core Ancestors of the Yunyang Sect, only Taihe Laozu can act as a chess player in Zheng Guo.
After all, Taihe Laozu possesses great strength; during the hundred-year war between humans and demons, he displayed the combat power of a Half-step Golden Core, and he is not yet very old, meaning he has at least two more chances to attempt to break through to the Golden Core realm.
Moreover, Taihe Laozu has a deep foundation, so he likely has some chance of breaking through to the Golden Core realm; more importantly, this time the Yunyang Sect killed a fourth-rank Demon King, and they can use the Demon King's Demon Pill to refine a Spirit Pill that assists in forming the Golden Core.
If Taihe Laozu can obtain this Spirit Pill, it will definitely be a great boost for his attempt to reach the Golden Core realm.
Of course, these are digressions; the various Elders of the Su Family could not help but feel excited at this moment.
The Clan Leader's cultivation is already at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer; as long as he takes one Fire Origin Apricot, he can definitely break through to the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer.
In this way, the opening of the Purple Mansion is not far off.
The Su Family must prepare early.
If the Su Family can produce a Purple Mansion cultivator in the Purple Mansion realm, their status in Zheng Guo will greatly increase.
In all of Zheng Guo, the Yunyang Sect covers the sky with one hand, or rather, the Yunyang Sect is effectively the royal family of Zheng Guo.
Below them are the various large and small Cultivation Families and Loose Cultivators who rely on the Yunyang Sect.
There are five counties in Zheng Guo, with countless large and small Cultivation Families; among them, there are four Purple Mansion families, excluding the Loose Cultivators and the Taihe Lineage.
The strongest among the Purple Mansion families is undoubtedly the Lu Family, which is the Lu Family of Lu Lao Zu from the Yunyang Sect.
Excluding the power of the Yunyang Sect, the local Lu Family has three Purple Mansion experts, including one in the late Purple Mansion stage and two in the initial Purple Mansion stage.
They are the true number one Cultivation Family in Zheng Guo, controlling the entire Yuanyang County.
The other three Purple Mansion families only have one each.
They are all the primary powers in their respective counties.
Although Yu County is a county, among the five counties of Zheng Guo, it is at the bottom, with the smallest territory and the weakest strength.
If the Su Family has a Purple Mansion cultivator appear, they could completely control Yu County.
The Elders naturally see the benefits of this.
Their eyes were all glowing with intensity.
"Xiao Jiu is right; the Clan Leader is now at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer, so it is time to consider the matter of opening the Purple Mansion."
"If the Clan Leader can break through to the Purple Mansion, our Su Family will be a Purple Mansion family."
"The spiritual items for opening the Purple Mansion cost about fifty or sixty thousand, at most no more than eighty thousand; if we live frugally from now on, we can raise it in twenty years."
Saving three thousand Spirit Stones a year would have been absolutely impossible for the Su Family in the past, but things are different now, especially since the Su Family obtained the Inheritance from the Purple Mansion cave dwelling; their alchemy and artifact refining skills have greatly improved, and by relying on alchemy and artifact refining, they can significantly increase their income.
"There is no rush for me to open the Purple Mansion."
The Clan Leader felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing everyone's words: "As for what Shi'an said, it is still better to try and obtain a few more Foundation Establishment Pills."
"Clan Leader, that is not quite right; it is already our limit to obtain two Foundation Establishment Pills this time, and even if we had more Spirit Stones, I am afraid it would be difficult to secure them, as the Yunyang Sect needs to consider other Cultivation Families."
"Besides, a tall tree catches the wind; even if you, Clan Leader, have great strength, you are still a bit short compared to the Purple Mansion realm."
Su Fan shook his head; moving forward, Taihe and the Yunyang Sect will continuously refine Foundation Establishment Pills, and no fewer than thirty or forty pills will flow into the various counties; this is the Yunyang Sect's way of maintaining balance.
It is already quite good for the Su Family to obtain two; if they were to greedily try to obtain a third, they would face hostility from various Foundation Establishment families and even Purple Mansion families.
If the Su Family had a Purple Mansion family guarding them, they would not fear this.
But with only the Clan Leader and Su Fan, they cannot yet contend with the Foundation Establishment families across the regions.
"Spiritual items for opening the Purple Mansion are not common in Zheng Guo; one could say they are very rare and exceptionally precious. The spiritual items best suited for the Clan Leader are, first, the Xuanyang Warm Jade and the Jade Wood Heart, and second, the Profound Yin Jade Marrow."
"The Xuanyang Warm Jade is the most expensive and rarely appears in the markets."
"We should best pursue the Jade Wood Heart, which is also very suitable for the Clan Leader's Spirit Root."
Su Fan analyzed it earnestly.
With the Su Family's current assets, it is not a big problem to purchase a spiritual item before the Clan Leader opens the Purple Mansion.
Regardless, it will take the Clan Leader twenty years to open the Purple Mansion; even if he takes the Fire Origin Apricot now and breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, he still needs to slowly temper his magic power.
In twenty years, can the Su Family raise fifty thousand Spirit Stones?
That is very likely; the stronger the family's strength, the more businesses the Su Family can now get involved in that they couldn't before.
"Of course, for now, the most urgent matter for our Su Family is the Spirit Vein; once we have two more Foundation Establishment Pills and produce two more Foundation Establishment cultivators, it will be impossible to continue living in Yunwu Shan."
"Xiao Jiu's point is indeed something that needs to be considered."
Su Wanjun and Su Shi'an's expressions also became solemn; they did not mention the Purple Mansion cave dwelling because it cannot be exposed, and only a few people know about it.
Even when the Clan Leader goes to guard it, the excuse is always that he has gone to Taihe Mountain.
And the fewer people there, the safer it is.
"The Spirit Vein of Yunwu Shan needs to be upgraded."
As the ancestral land of the Su Family, Yunwu Shan cannot be abandoned under any circumstances.
But the cost of upgrading a Spirit Vein is not low.
Everyone was thinking; in this way, the consumption of Spirit Stones would be like flowing water.
But all of this is worth it.
The high-level meeting ended, and the Clan Leader and the Great Elder kept Su Fan behind.
"Reincarnation!"
When Su Fan heard the slightly respectful demeanor and tone of the Clan Leader and the Great Elder, Su Fan was also stunned.
But soon, he understood what the two were thinking.
A Nascent Soul cultivator undergoing Reincarnation—this is something Su Fan had naturally learned about from some miscellaneous records on cultivation.
And his current state did indeed fit the description of Reincarnation very well.
"I have already experienced several lifetimes, which can be considered a different kind of Reincarnation, just not a Yuanying Chong."
Regarding the guesses of the Clan Leader and the Great Elder, Su Fan ultimately did not refute them; giving them hope could also be considered an explanation for his own rapid cultivation improvement.
In this way, when his cultivation surged again in the future, he would not need to explain it.
"This is for the best!"
When Su Fan left Yunwu Shan, a smile appeared on his face; the Su Family could now be considered to have truly entered the right track for rapid development.
With Su Wanjun, an expert with Foundation Establishment Peak combat power, sitting in command and the Defense Array activated, even a Purple Mansion cultivator would find it very difficult to breach Yunwu Shan.
Moreover, in Yu County, what Purple Mansion cultivator would go mad and attack Yunwu Shan? After all, among the Cultivation Family in Zheng Guo, there is competition, but rarely is there a situation where both sides perish together.
