After the elders of several great clans finished counting, Lin Chen unhurriedly left.
It was a long ti after Lin Chen had gone that the leaders of several small clans also departed.
Only the leaders of the four great clans, Xiao, Li, ng, and Cai, remained gathered together.
"Brother Xiao, what do you think of today’s events?"
"The origins of Master Han are increasingly mysterious... Being able to take out such a quantity of magical treasures and pills in one go?"
"This is thirty thousand Spirit Stones! Not even we, the four great clans, or the Changchun Sect could produce such a batch in such a short ti..."
Li Dongkun spoke with a slightly excited tone, and there was still a look of surprise in his eyes.
Over the past year, the amount of transactions between Lin Chen and them was quite clear.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that they could arm half of the Loose Cultivators in Yanlai City...
Such a foundation is difficult even for a force like the Changchun Sect to possess.
"Yeah! The origins of Master Han are certainly extraordinary! Now that the war is in a stalemate, what the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect is scheming is grand!"
Patriarchs ng and Cai also chid in, though they didn’t point out the crux of the issue.
Only Patriarch Xiao took out several bottles of pills, sniffed at them, and carefully examined the traded magical artifacts.
After a silent contemplation, he said:
"The pills and magical treasures he traded are newly forged... The refining ti does not even exceed a year!"
Saying this, he raised his head and looked at the other three patriarchs, his tone heavy:
"Do you understand what this ans?"
The other three patriarchs were also taken aback upon hearing this.
Previously, they only focused on the large transaction amounts, without paying attention to the production tiline of the batch.
Upon Xiao’s revelation, the other patriarchs exclaid:
"Brother Xiao, are you suggesting... each ti he procures such quantities of materials from us, it’s for pill refinent and artifact crafting?"
"Whoa... with this, the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect earns how many Spirit Stones?"
"No less! To craft so many pills and artifacts in a month... Surely it requires hundreds of Alchemists and Artifact Refiners working non-stop day and night?"
With this statent, the courtyard fell into silence again.
Clearly, it’s impossible for Alchemists and Artifact Refiners to work non-stop day and night.
This implies that the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect must be a massive force with at least hundreds of Alchemists and Artifact Refiners!
What does this an? Even for a sect like the Changchun Sect, the foremost sect in the Yanlai Realm...
It only possesses a re few dozen Alchemists and Artifact Refiners capable of producing such quality pills and magical treasures.
Thinking of this, Li Dongkun trembled and said:
"Brother Xiao, are you suggesting... the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect is a Nascent Soul power beyond Qing State?"
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Xiao shook his head and said:
"Not just that, the lowest they must be is a Nascent Soul power... Even beyond Nascent Soul, it’s still uncertain!"
This statent made the other patriarchs take a deep breath.
Trading with powers as strong as Nascent Soul and beyond, how could their re Foundation Establishnt clans not be worried?
Only Patriarch Xiao, putting away a batch of goods with a light laugh, said:
"What are you afraid of? The Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect seeks wealth, not to harm lives!"
"Over the past year, have any accidents occurred during the transactions? Moreover, such quantities of magical treasures and pills entering Loose Cultivators and cultivation clans have boosted the overall strength of cultivators in the Yanlai Realm."
He paused, then continued:
"And you all have been earning quite a lot over this year, isn’t that so?"
"Haven’t each of your families earned thousands of Spirit Stones? This is money that couldn’t be earned in the past ten years."
With this statent, the other patriarchs nodded and agreed.
"Yeah! Why worry so much? As long as there’s money to be made!"
"In my view, the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect doesn’t seem like a demonic force..."
In the courtyard, a group of patriarchs decided to swallow their concerns.
For these cultivation clans, whoever provides the at to eat becos a friend.
...
anwhile, after concluding the transaction, Lin Chen left Yanlai City by Artifact Control.
Skillfully flying for hundreds of miles, Lin Chen darted into the deep mountains, then waded through a river to wash away his scent.
Afterwards, he changed into his true self and returned all the way to the marketplace at Changchun Mountain.
Back at Lin’s Small Pavilion, he ascended to the second floor and began counting his savings over the past year.
His Divine Sense swept across the Purple Jade Gourd, with Spirit Stones piled like a mountain.
"Over the past year, I’ve accumulated nearly seventy thousand Spirit Stones..."
"Not far from reaching a million Spirit Stones to elevate the Devouring Spirit Root!"
Lin Chen harbored a sense of anticipation in his heart.
According to what the jade scroll stated, the transition from first tier to second tier of the Devouring Spirit Root is a qualitative change!
The first tier Devouring Spirit Root rely initiates the Five Elents complete attribute, slightly enhancing the Spirit Root aptitude.
But reaching the second tier Spirit Root, cultivation speed will leap from True Spirit Root to Earth Spirit Root level!
Cultivation speed will essentially double!
Moreover, due to the Spirit Root devouring a million Spirit Stones, his True Essence Magical Power will also beco much thicker, with a significant increase in combat power.
Lin Chen withdrew his Divine Sense and muttered:
"Although the opening of the Ancient Ruins is not far off, the year’s term is up, and within the next half-year, the ruins may open at any ti..."
"Henceforth, I must accelerate the pace of earning Spirit Stones, quickly gathering a million Spirit Stones, to reach second tier Devouring Spirit Root before entering the ruins!"
...
Early the next day, Lin Chen went to the Sect Hall of Changchun Mountain.
Compared to a year ago when missions were just announced, the number of disciples coming to undertake sect missions has noticeably decreased.
On the one hand, it’s due to the heavy casualties among various Tribulation Cultivators in the Yanlai Realm.
The once eighteen major Tribulation Cultivator forces, with over a hundred smaller forces, have been nearly wiped out.
Ultimately, only three Tribulation Cultivator paths remain, each possessing formidable strength.
Each of these three Tribulation Cultivators has several Foundation Establishnt tribulation cultivators and hundreds of Qi Refining cultivators, which ordinary disciples dare not provoke.
On the other hand, naturally, the number of disciples in the Changchun Sect has also greatly diminished.
