The thirteen spirit veins, the most valuable of which is naturally the fourth-rank mid-grade spirit vein of Qingyang Mountain Dao Grounds, are sufficient to support the cultivation of several late Golden Core cultivators.
On the spiritual mountain, thousands of acres of spirit fields have been cultivated. After a millennium of operation, a large number of spiritual herbs have been planted, including many valuable fourth-rank treasures.
Relying on these spirit fields, Qingyang Sect can refine three to five batches of Foundation Establishment Pills every decade. Although Elder Liu's alchemy skills are somewhat lacking, he can only produce less than twenty Foundation Establishment Pills from those batches.
In the future, if Jiang Linglong refines the pills, the output of Foundation Establishment Pills could potentially double.
Beneath Qingyang Mountain lies a fourth-rank low-grade underground fire vein, which can produce a Crystal of Blazing Flame every decade, along with a large number of third-rank treasures.
Additionally, this underground fire vein can yield a Fire Elemental Pearl every 180 years and a fourth-rank treasure roughly every century.
The remaining twelve third-rank spirit veins are distributed throughout the Chu Kingdom, including two high-grade ones located in Yunyang Ridge and Origin Peak, with the rest being mid- to low-grade.
According to the agreement, these twelve third-rank spirit veins and five third-rank underground veins will be divided among the participating major immortal clans.
In this war, the three major Purple Mansion clans of the Bianzhou Region, the three major Purple Mansion clans of the Yang Region, and the five major Purple Mansion clans of the Qingzhou Region—eleven Purple Mansion clans in total—each obtained at least one third-rank spirit vein, while the Qian clan secured two.
The Chen family, having made significant contributions, was awarded the high-grade third-rank spirit vein of Origin Peak and the high-grade third-rank underground fire vein beneath it.
With this underground fire vein, the Chen family can now gain an additional Crystal of Blazing Flame every thirty years, providing a significant source of wealth.
The second benefit was the scriptures in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. Over a thousand years, Qingyang Sect collected over a thousand cultivation methods, dozens of divine abilities, and methods for crafting seventeen types of natal magical treasures.
These cultivation methods cover everything from the Qi Refining Stage to the Golden Core Stage. Among them, there are over one hundred Foundation Establishment techniques, twenty-seven Purple Mansion techniques, and seven techniques for the Golden Core Stage.
Of the seven Golden Core techniques, only two can be cultivated to the late Golden Core stage. One is the Qingyang Suppressing Demon Sutra, a pure Yang technique of the fire-wood attribute created by the sect's founding ancestor, capable of reaching the Grand Completion Stage of the Golden Core.
The other is the Heavenly Heart Derivative Sutra, a technique focusing on divine sense cultivation, which can be cultivated to the eighth layer of the Golden Core Stage, created by a former senior of the Qingyang Sect.
Jiang Linglong calmly said, "According to the prior agreement, Purple Mansion clans can select three Purple Mansion-level techniques."
"Those who participated with late Purple Mansion combatants can exchange one for a Golden Core-level technique. After taking the Heart Demon Blood Oath, you can record a copy."
Everyone showed great joy. Clan leaders like Pan Boyuan and Wei Xuyuan immediately chose techniques to supplement their family's Purple Mansion methods.
Meanwhile, more established figures like Xu Qianyang, Elder Qian, and Elder Fang seized the rare opportunity to exchange for a Golden Core-level cultivation technique.
After all, Golden Core-level techniques are exceedingly rare, even beyond the reach of most Purple Mansion clans.
Obtaining a Purple Mansion-level technique was already a great fortune resulting from the Qingyang Sect's destruction—a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
After exchanging techniques, the group moved on to distributing the most critical resources.
While spirit veins and techniques bring long-term benefits, the immediate gains in strength come from the wealth seized during the war.
The spoils from Qingyang Mountain included spirit stones, magical treasures, pills, and a wide range of spiritual items of various grades.
This battle wiped out thousands of Qingyang Sect cultivators, including six Purple Mansion-level combatants.
The spirit stones seized amounted to over 1.4 million. Jiang Linglong took one million, leaving the rest as rewards.
Low-tier magical treasures were numerous, but there were forty-seven third-tier treasures, including nine high-grade third-tier treasures.
The mid- and low-grade third-tier treasures were quickly distributed among the thirty-plus Purple Mansion participants, with each person receiving one or two.
The nine high-grade third-tier treasures, however, were exceptional.
Due to the difficulty of surviving the Golden Core tribulation, every Golden Core cultivator typically destroys several high-grade third-tier treasures during the process.
For this reason, even after centuries of accumulation, the Chu Kingdom only possesses sixty to seventy high-grade third-tier treasures.
Among the thirty-plus Purple Mansion clans in the Chu Kingdom, such treasures are regarded as clan-defining artifacts.
These nine treasures were well-known throughout the Chu Kingdom.
Such treasures, whether used for protection or surviving tribulation, are extremely valuable.
The patriarch and Elian exchanged glances and used their contributions to claim two high-grade third-tier treasures: the Kunwu Earth Bell and the Gold Jade Demon Slayer Shuttle. (the Kunwu Earth Bell that the mc had in the past was of inferior grade, so it's not the same)
Elian, feeling it wasn't enough, used more contributions to acquire the Black Gold Celestial Sword as a family heirloom.
Seeing three treasures already claimed, others rushed to use their battle merits for exchanges.
Xu Qianyang, whose Flaming Goldfire Dragon Shears and natal treasure were offensive, chose a defensive treasure, the Purple Mist Smoke Veil.
Elder Qian, having lost a late Purple Mansion combatant, was compensated with two treasures, including the Heavenly Dragon Slash.
Elder Fang exchanged for a Fire Element Divine Thunder Net, a powerful group attack treasure.
Among the remaining spiritual items were three Five Elements Crystals. Elian immediately exchanged for a Wood Element Crystal.
The group continued exchanging treasures and resources until their battle merits were nearly depleted, satisfied with their gains.
After dividing the treasures, Elian did not leave immediately.
Jiang Linglong led him to the back of Qingyang Mountain, to a fiery red fruit tree.
"The Fire Spirit Fruit Tree."
Elian's eyes gleamed with surprise.
The Fire Spirit Fruit Tree, a fourth-rank natural spiritual root, contains the power of fire spirit creation, making it an essential resource for Golden Core cultivators.
Having spent years with Jiang Linglong, Elian had come to understand the profound mysteries of the Golden Core Stage.
The essence of a Golden Core is merely a precursor to a Nascent Soul. To nurture a Nascent Soul, one must not only refine it with mana but also infuse it with creation power.
This creation power, essential for Golden Core and Nascent Soul development, is found only in rare treasures like the Five Elements Crystals.
The fruits of the Fire Spirit Fruit Tree contain the fire-type creation power, accelerating the cultivation of Golden Core cultivators.
