Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

“Some have even suggested that if any accidents occur while vigorously mining the spiritual stone vein, it’s better to wreck it rather than let the Qianyuan Imperial Family have it.”

“So, for twenty years, no one has agreed, and we don’t have that many spiritual stones now! If it were some years ago, it would have been possible!”

Jiang Yuan said: “How many years in advance do you think the Sect Leader and the other Chiefs would agree to?”

Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment, then slowly said: “Between ten to fifteen years should be manageable, no less than ten years, no more than fifteen years!”

Jiang Yuan immediately responded, “In that case, please handle this matter for me, Sect Leader. I wish to give back 30% of my share to the Sect, in exchange for ten to fifteen years of spiritual stone quotas.”

“Good!” Lu Qingshan nodded, then added, “Tomorrow I will gather the Chiefs of all peaks, and I believe they will have no problem contributing to buy this allocation.”

“Thank you, Sect Leader!” Jiang Yuan thanked him with a bow.

Lu Qingshan spoke again, “If you wish to make a swift breakthrough to the Spiritual Sea Realm, there’s a place you must go to.”

Jiang Yuan became curious, “Where?”

“Pearl Cave!”

“What is that place?” Jiang Yuan was immediately puzzled.

“A true cave-world, a complete cave-world! You’ve never heard of it, have you!”

Jiang Yuan shook his head, “Please enlighten me, Sect Leader!”

Lu Qingshan continued, “The Pearl Cave is the cave-world left behind by a fallen Demon King. There was a Sea Dragon King whose favorite offspring died unexpectedly within the borders of the Qianyuan Kingdom.”

“The Sea Dragon kind, which contains real dragon blood, finds it extremely difficult to breed, so when he was enraged, he caused a massive wave to engulf Qianyuan Kingdom, massacring the inhabitants of several states to accompany his offspring in death.”

“He even declared outright that he wanted the entire Qianyuan Kingdom to accompany his child to death.”

Jiang Yuan was immediately perplexed, “Was the Qianyuan Kingdom monarch not his match?”

Lu Qingshan couldn’t help but chuckle.

“You don’t understand how powerful a Demon King can be, especially one who is a Sea Dragon King. Not just the monarch, even if everyone in the Qianyuan Kingdom were to attack him together, they would still be like ants marching towards their deaths.”

“What happened afterward, though? How did he, being so formidable, fall?” Jiang Yuan asked again.

“Because,” Lu Qingshan looked at the eastern sky, “a Saint broke through and fell him with just a finger. Following that, he even repelled a Demon Saint who wanted to come ashore.”

“How powerful is a Saint?”

Lu Qingshan shook his head, “I cannot explain, they are beings that have coalesced Dao Fruits, representing the strength of the human race.”

“There’s a widely circulated saying, ‘Below the Saint, all are ants.’

“Those who have not realized the Saint Dao Fruit, no matter how strong, are no different from ants in front of a Saint!”

“They represent the rules and the Great Dao, contain the decree of heaven in their mouths, and the law follows their words!”

“Pearl Cave was formed when a Saint used powerful magic to solidify it.”

“Before leaving, he left a message, ‘Pearl Cave remains here as a trial ground for young heaven genius. It opens every ten years, and only those under the age of fifty can enter.’”

“Thus, only those under fifty can enter this cave since then. No one can break the rule he set. This is the rule of the Saint containing the decree of heaven.”

Hearing Lu Qingshan’s words, Jiang Yuan exhaled lightly, feeling a sense of yearning from within.

Then he said, “Sect Leader, why would that cave-world allow me to make a swift breakthrough into the Spiritual Sea Realm?”

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly: “Because there are countless opportunities in the world of the cave, and many heaven and earth treasures. In Qianyuan Kingdom, it’s hard to find such treasures, but it’s different in Pearl Cave, where millennia-old spirit medicine is not uncommon!”

“If you go in there and find just a few opportunities, you will certainly be able to rapidly accumulate what is needed for the Spiritual Sea.”

“It’s because of the requirements of Pearl Cave, and thus the existence of the Heavenly Ranking came to being. And even the Heavenly Ranking only allows heaven geniuses under the age of fifty to be listed.”

After hearing it, Jiang Yuan was overjoyed.

He remembered another effect from his status panel that he could consume Luck Power to find opportunities.

He hasn’t discovered any so-called “opportunities” in a long time.

The reason was that there were no such opportunities around him to begin with.

But entering the Pearl Cave is different, with countless opportunities inside, it would be a real treasure trove for him!

His interest was piqued, he absolutely must visit this place.

However, before that, his strength must be advanced a little more. Those below fifty years in Qianyuan Kingdom.

There are those in the Divine Bridge Realm, and currently, he had no qualifications to face them off.

Because the gap between realms was too large!

Upon seeing Jiang Yuan’s expression, Lu Qingshan knew he was full of interest in it.

So he said, “Pearl Cave will open in nine months, and at that time the Demon Tribe will also come to participate. Try to increase your strength as soon as possible. If things go well tomorrow, I will bring you resources for cultivation!”

Jiang Yuan nodded, “Alright!”

After Lu Qingshan left, Jiang Yuan looked back at Shu Xiaoxiao, who was still practicing.

Then he left the mansion alone.

A moment later.

Jiang Yuan arrived at Qingyun Hall.

This was where Lu Qingshan lived, as well as where his personally-tutored disciples resided.

Gu Mo lived here, and Jiang Yuan came to Gu Mo’s mansion and chatted with him for a while, learned that his recent cultivation was going well.

He had also carried out a Sect mission earlier, killed a cultivator who was anxious for quick success and had slaughtered several villages for sinister cultivation. These villages were all within the territory of the Supreme Mystery Sect.

Jiang Yuan also gathered some Luck Power from him.
