Chapter 331: Chapter 324: Tier Four Inheritance, Alchemy Request

WHOOSH...

Once their business was concluded, the Sect Leader and the others transformed into streaks of Escape Light and departed. Only Wu Tianyi remained, as he was the Canglan City Lord.

"Senior Brother Wu, thank you so much for everything," Zhang Chi said, expressing his gratitude once again. "Without the cultivation insights you gave me, my Nascent Soul Formation definitely wouldn’t have gone so smoothly."

In truth, the cultivation insights hadn’t helped all that much, but they had certainly been useful.

"Haha, no need for that. You used to call me Martial Uncle, but now you call me Senior Brother. It was the least I could do."

"Besides, you may not know this, but I received a reward from the Sect because of you."

"So really, I should be the one thanking you."

The Canglan City Lord waved his hands dismissively.

Afterward, he chatted with Zhang Chi for a while longer before taking his leave.

’Becoming a Nascent Soul Cultivator really changes everything!’ Zhang Chi couldn’t help but reflect.

Before Zhang Chi now lay a number of Cultivation Materials, such as Elixirs and Spirit Talismans—all congratulatory gifts from his fellow Nascent Soul sect members.

Every single one of these items was incredibly valuable.

Before Zhang Chi reached the Nascent Soul Realm, obtaining any one of these items would have required attending an auction at a large Oasis or venturing into the black market, and it would have come at a great cost.

Some of them, he couldn’t have obtained even if he had done so.

The Canglan Sect’s Elder Token, for example.

The item itself had no intrinsic value, but it symbolized that Zhang Chi had finally become an Elder of the Canglan Sect, entitled to all sorts of benefits and privileges.

In addition, there were two Jade Scrolls, and these were the most precious gifts, the ones that brought Zhang Chi the most joy.

This was because the Jade Scrolls contained the Tier Four Inheritance for both Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

The Artifact Refining inheritance was something the Sect had promised to give him when he became an Honored Guest Elder and signed the Spirit Contract.

The Alchemy inheritance, however, was a gift from the Canglan Sect’s Sect Leader, representing the Sect’s congratulations to Zhang Chi.

Evidently, before Zhang Chi had even broken through, the Sect Leader had made arrangements in advance based on his situation.

The Sect Leader knew Zhang Chi was a Tier Three Low Grade Alchemy Master and figured he might one day be able to use the Alchemy inheritance, so he simply gave it to Zhang Chi ahead of time.

In the eyes of the Sect Leader and other high-ranking members, the Spirit Contract’s restrictions made it impossible for Zhang Chi to pass these two inheritances on to outsiders. ℴ

And since such inheritances could be infinitely replicated by the Sect, they were undoubtedly the perfect gift.

Of course, if this type of inheritance were to spread widely, its value would surely diminish, and it would also affect the Sect’s control. Therefore, the Sect had strict rules and would not teach it casually, let alone allow Disciples to spread it privately.

Giving it to Zhang Chi this time was, without a doubt, a way to win his loyalty.

Zhang Chi was well aware of this but didn’t mind. In fact, he wished they would try to win him over a few more times.

That way, he might even be able to get his hands on the Tier Four Inheritances for Talisman Making and Arrays as well.

With the Alchemy inheritance, it wouldn’t be long before he could refine Tier Four Low Grade Elixirs. His Cultivation speed would then remain at its peak level.

At that point, if he switched to a better cave abode and upgraded his Eye of the Spirit Spring, he estimated he could attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage in about one hundred and fifty years at most.

And that was only because his foundation was so solid that he required more Spiritual Qi to advance.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t even need that much time.

However, Zhang Chi didn’t get carried away. In fact, after a careful calculation, he couldn’t help but feel a looming sense of crisis.

Having reached the Nascent Soul Realm, his goal naturally became advancing to Divinity Transformation.

It was said that reaching that realm would grant him a long Lifespan of three thousand years.

But calculating at his current speed—even without considering Cultivation Bottlenecks or the time needed to gather materials for advancement—it would take him a little over one thousand years to reach the Nascent Soul Peak, and more than twenty-two hundred years in total to reach the Nascent Soul Limit.

At this rate, even if he took the maximum dosage of Tier Three and Four Lifespan Extension Pills, he would still be short about four hundred years of life.

’Looks like I can’t relax in the slightest. I have to find a way to increase my Cultivation speed. That Heaven-Reaching Tree seed, especially—I have to get it to sprout as soon as possible. My Cultivation speed will definitely increase even further then!’ Zhang Chi thought to himself.

’Hmm? Wei Wei and the others are requesting an audience?’

Just as Zhang Chi was about to start cultivating, he suddenly noticed a messaging light fly into the Array outside his cave abode.

He took it and saw that it was indeed from Wei Wei and the others.

Sweeping his Divine Thought outside, he found Wei Wei and the others waiting nervously beyond his cave abode.

As for the other spectating Cultivators, they had already been dispersed by the Canglan City Lord when he left.

Of course, many of those Cultivators had wanted to pay their respects to Zhang Chi, but they either didn’t dare or had sent messages that Zhang Chi simply couldn’t be bothered to read.

Even Wei Wei and his group were only spared from being driven away by the City Lord because they had joined the sect at the same time as Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi initially had no desire to see Wei Wei and the others.

After all, now that he had successfully achieved Nascent Soul Formation, they were people from two different worlds. And even though they had joined the sect at the same time, they had no real friendship to speak of.

He even suspected that, judging by human nature, they were surely filled with jealousy.

However, Wei Wei and the others had mentioned they came bearing congratulatory gifts.

So, Zhang Chi thought for a moment, and with a wave of his hand, he opened a channel through the Array, deciding to see these Cultivators after all.

After all, they had known each other for a time.

"Greetings, Martial Uncle."

"Congratulations on achieving the Nascent Soul Realm, Martial Uncle."

Overjoyed, Wei Wei and the others quickly entered the cave abode. Upon seeing Zhang Chi, they immediately prostrated themselves in a deep bow.

Through his powerful Divine Thought, Zhang Chi could sense that these Cultivators held not a hint of hostility toward him—only awe and a desire to curry favor.

Evidently, they were all clever enough to have adjusted their attitudes in time.

"I was just lucky. I trust you will all have this day as well," Zhang Chi said with a slight nod.
