Moreover, the means of Jiang Baiyi, the Sovereign of Jiang Country, and the depth of his realm are not something Lin Chen can currently comprehend.
Perhaps, with the perception of a Mahayana Cultivator, one could understand the degree of understanding of the Great Path and feel all that Jiang Baiyi has gifted, but Lin Chen cannot feel it at present.
On the other side, Jiang Liqian also felt a change within herself. Unlike Lin Chen, the moment Jiang Liqian sensed the change, she looked up towards the distant sky.
High in the sky, Jiang Liqian saw nothing, yet inexplicably, her eyes reddened slightly.
She could feel that at that moment, she received an immense gift.
"Father..." Jiang Liqian silently mouthed a sentence in her heart, she could guess what had happened to her at that instant.
Moreover, having held the Jade Seal of Jiang Country for so long, Jiang Liqian’s comprehension of fortune is much higher than Lin Chen’s. She could feel the subtle changes in the Jade Seal she held and within herself.
But Jiang Liqian knows more than that, even if it is the Sovereign of Jiang Country, even if Jiang Baiyi divided such a large portion of fortune to protect it, it still causes considerable harm to Jiang Country’s national fortune and the Jade Seal’s intrinsic power.
To put it gravely, perhaps these portions of fortune that Jiang Baiyi divided might ultimately lead to his future failure.
But Jiang Baiyi is Jiang Baiyi, he possesses pride far beyond that of ordinary cultivators. He believes that just these portions of fortune will not have much impact on the final result. If he can successfully cross the tribulation, then it would be successful, and the divided portions of fortune would not affect the final outcome. As for whether it can impact the ultimate outcome, it is beyond human calculation, even a Tribulation Crossing Ancestor does not know.
In the distant sky, Jiang Baiyi’s eyes carried a touch of gratification, he gave Jiang Liqian a deep look, then turned and disappeared from the spot.
Constrained by the rules within the Celestial Ruins, Jiang Baiyi and Jiang Liqian cannot meet face to face, otherwise, Jiang Liqian would only get hurt. But Jiang Baiyi silently helps his future daughter in his own way.
...
Meanwhile, inside the cave residence.
Lin Chen’s Divine Sense swept over the Jade Scroll, quickly clarifying all the resources stored within the Jiang Country Treasure Vault.
"Senior Brother Lin, there are two Spirit Veins within this vault..." Jiang Liqian paused, then activated a technique with her hands, dividing the two Spirit Veins in the treasure vault into two.
Jiang Liqian handed over two small Spirit Veins, each ten miles long, one a Top Grade Spirit Vein, the other an Upper Grade Spirit Vein.
"Senior Brother Lin, the path of cultivation demands many resources, especially in the later periods, the need for Spirit Stones increases greatly. Take these two Spirit Veins..." Jiang Liqian’s eyes showed no hesitation, as if these two Spirit Veins were insignificant.
"Junior Sister Jiang..." Lin Chen paused, but did not refuse, accepting the two Spirit Veins.
"And these Spirit Realm Jade Dew and that vat of Water of the World..." Jiang Liqian thought for a moment, then drew a small tributary from the stream of Spirit Realm Jade Dew, at least several million Spirit Realm Jade Dew.
She packed up all the Spirit Realm Jade Dew and handed them to Lin Chen, then drew away about a tenth from the vat of Water of the World.
Even so, it amounted to more than a hundred thousand drops of Water of the World. The value of these Spirit Realm Jade Dew and Water of the World is almost immeasurable, even some Mahayana Cultivators in the Cultivation Realm would not possess such wealth.
The resources Lin Chen received were indeed what he urgently needed.
His cultivation level has now reached the mid Integration stage, but after breaking through to the mid Integration stage, the resources consumed for cultivation have drastically increased.
Merely relying on the Spirit Realm Jade Dew and Water of the World provided by the Profound Celestial Little Gourd is no longer sufficient for Lin Chen’s cultivation needs. However, the resources presently in the Jiang Country Treasure Vault are enough for Lin Chen to cultivate for a long time.
Furthermore, there is the whole of Blue Star waiting for him to bring back resources.
Even if he only took a portion from the Jiang Country Treasure Vault, it would be enough to advance the Cultivation Realm of Blue Star significantly, doubling its foundation at the very least.
"Junior Sister Jiang, I have two more requests." Lin Chen thought for a moment and then spoke. "Among that batch of Treasures of Heaven and Earth, there are some resources that I need. I wonder if Junior Sister Jiang could part with them?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liqian chuckled, "Senior Brother, you are too polite. This batch of Treasures of Heaven and Earth, I can’t use it all by myself. A large portion will have to be reserved for the reconstruction of Jiang Country, but even so, there are more resources than needed. Whatever Senior Brother Lin has his eye on, feel free to take it..."
Lin Chen, on hearing this, was delighted and began selecting from the heap of Treasures of Heaven and Earth.
The Treasures of Heaven and Earth needed for Body Refinement, various Spiritual Medicines that can increase Qi and Blood, were piled up like mountains in this vault. Lin Chen selected a large pile, the value of which was difficult to quantify.
Additionally, there were a few pieces of material capable of forging High Tier Magical Treasures. Although the Demon-slaying Blade he wielded has the base of a Martial Spirit and is quite spiritual, it is still limited by its material.
Over the decades, he had continually gathered materials, reforging the Demon-slaying Blade several times, but the materials still fell short.
And yet, the Jiang Country Treasure Vault had several extremely rare Spiritual Ores, which serve as fantastic forging materials, and if considered as Exotic Metals, could theoretically reach the level of the legendary tenth-tier Exotic Metals.
Half of Lin Chen’s strength stems from his Martial Arts Cultivation, and in the mastery of weaponry, it is the Vibrating Blade that stands out the most.
Therefore, weapons are very important. If he could use this batch of Exotic Metals to forge two higher-tier Magical Treasures or reforge the Demon-slaying Blade, Lin Chen’s combat power would enhance another notch.
Regarding the two piles of Magical Treasure weapons, Lin Chen, because he chose too many, only took a few of the relatively high-level ones.
After all, presently Great Xia’s ability to forge Magical Treasures is not inferior, and most of the cultivators and martial artists in Great Xia currently already have suitable Magical Treasures. Yet for Jiang Country to achieve future revival, this batch of Magical Treasures and weapons is indispensable.
Quickly, Lin Chen picked out the item he valued most from the two mountains of Treasures of Heaven and Earth; it was a seed the size of a thumb, entirely black, resembling a round pearl, but from a distance like a candle.
This was the seed of the Spirit Candle Treasure Tree that Lin Chen had learned about a long time ago!
This treasure tree could generate Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy and produce Spirit Candle Treasure Fruit, which provides great benefits even for Divinity Transformation or Returning Void cultivators.
Lin Chen plans to plant this seed of the Spirit Candle Treasure Tree on Blue Star of Great Xia. If successful, it will become one of the most precious foundations of Great Xia.
However, the Spirit Candle Treasure Tree grows very slowly, using the ordinary planting method, it would take at least a few thousand years to harvest.
Fortunately, Lin Chen has mastered the Time Law and Age Law, allowing him to accelerate the maturation of the Spirit Candle Treasure Tree in a short period. Not to mention the abundant Spiritual Energy brought by the Spirit Candle Treasure Tree, enough to enhance the land within a hundred miles to the level of Blessed Land. Even the Spirit Candle Treasure Fruits produced on the tree would be invaluable treasures capable of changing destiny for the cultivators of Great Xia.
As long as the Spirit Candle Treasure Fruits are ample enough, Great Xia could cultivate a batch of Nascent Soul and even Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators in a short time.
The two of them spent half a day discussing how to divide the resources of the treasure vault. However, Lin Chen knows that these resources should all belong to Jiang Liqian. Her gifting them to him represents a favor, and Lin Chen will remember this kindness silently in his heart.
Jiang Liqian’s restoration of the country and overthrow of the Spirit Realm will be something Lin Chen also supports to the best of his ability. The two have long been allies on the same front.
Lin Chen placed the acquired resources, including the two Spirit Veins, into his Profound Celestial Small World.
The Profound Celestial Small World can now follow Lin Chen across Blue Star and the Cultivation Realm, making it easier for him to bring back a large batch of resources, though it still cannot contain living beings.
However, Lin Chen has now touched the rudimentary form of the Spatial Domain. Once he takes another step and fully enters the Spatial Domain, he will be able to bring enough martial artists and cultivators from Great Xia at will.
By then, Lin Chen will effectively possess a truly powerful force backing him, allowing him to easily resolve many issues in Qing State and even the Spirit Realm, making his tasks much easier.
