Chapter 1239 - 9: Shouzhe Obtains [True Skill]! Lici Returns to Her Homeland (Part 2)

While speaking, he rummaged through his luxurious Storage Ring and carefully brought out six tea leaves, no bigger than grains of rice, along with a small pot of Immortal Spring, and brewed a pot of tea with a reverent posture.

Wang Shouzhe took a sip and slightly furrowed his brows, "The tea is indeed fine, capable of nourishing the Divine Soul and cleansing the flesh, but the taste is too bland."

With just six small tea leaves for a pot of tea, it’s no wonder it tasted bland.

"This is Immortal Tea, you ought to be satisfied," Jiang Zhencang glared at Wang Shouzhe. Considering hospitality, he painstakingly dug again into his Storage Ring and added two more leaves, showing a pained expression as if cutting his own flesh.

Wang Shouzhe was speechless, unable to resist complaining silently in his heart.

At the peak of Tier Twelve, it could at most be called Half-Step Immortal Tea. Once our family’s Lixian truly grows and sheds some Life Tree Leaves, now that would be genuine Immortal Tea.

Nonetheless, Saint Master Jiang’s tea was indeed already quite rare, significantly better than the tea currently produced by Lixian. If consumed long-term, it could help further condense his Divine Soul and be quite beneficial for the advancement of his cultivation.

Wang Shouzhe curiously glanced at Saint Master Jiang’s Storage Ring, most likely a Divine Power Spirit Treasure level Storage Ring, wondering how much Half-Step Immortal Tea it held inside.

Noticing Wang Shouzhe’s gaze, Jiang Zhencang immediately sensed an ominous feeling of being targeted and promptly changed the subject, "Let’s discuss the main matter. Regarding your application for one-time inheritance rights of the [Cyan Emperor True Technique], it has been successfully approved after discussion among our elders, and has also been duly recorded at the Immortal Palace."

The Inheritance Land of the Cyan Emperor Valley lineage was originally brought out from the Immortal Palace by the first-generation Lingyun Saint Master. Although Lingyun Sacred Land has the authority to dispose of its inheritance rights, whoever accepts the inheritance must be recorded within the Immortal Palace.

"Thank you, Saint Master Jiang, for mediating," Wang Shouzhe expressed his gratitude with a bow.

His awakened bloodline belongs to the Life Element, and he currently does not have a suitable Divine inheritance, let alone a Life Element Treasure Manual inheritance, so he could only choose the closest fitting Wood Element True Skill inheritance.

Decades ago, he learned that there were extra inheritance opportunities available in the Cyan Emperor Valley lineage of Lingyun Sacred Land, which sparked his interest in the "Cyan Emperor True Technique".

The last inheritance of the "Cyan Emperor True Technique" was nearly a thousand years ago, so it’s about to accumulate two inheritance opportunities.

This gave Wang Shouzhe an opportunity.

After all, he barely counts as half a member of the Sacred Land himself, and as long as he offers enough compensation, there is a chance to vie for this inheritance opportunity.

By reducing a portion of the debt to Emperor Longchang, he successfully obtained a [Recommendation Letter] and acquired the upper portion of the Cyan Emperor True Technique. Since cultivating, he has successfully transformed all his Profound Qi into Cyan Emperor True Qi and advanced his cultivation to the Purple Mansion Realm Third Layer.

However, the most essential part of the Cyan Emperor True Technique must be obtained through the Inheritance Land, to ensure he can smoothly advance to the Divine Power Realm.

"Don’t thank me just yet," Jiang Zhencang said, "One of the two inheritance opportunities is reserved for our Sacred Land’s own Great Celestial Pride, Lvwei. She is one of our Sacred Land’s own, and unless there are unforeseen circumstances, she is the future inheritor of the Cyan Emperor Valley."

"The surplus opportunity is usually saved to avoid having two suitable Great Celestial Prides appear simultaneously. So unless you’re willing to truly join Lingyun Sacred Land, you can only choose between purchasing or exchanging with an inheritance right of equivalent level. Among Noble Families, or between Sacred Lands, the price for exchanging divine inheritance rights is typically around five million Immortal Crystals."

"Three choices: Joining, exchanging, purchasing. It’s only because of your identity, Shouzhe, that you have this choice. For an ordinary person, there wouldn’t even be an option."

Wang Shouzhe respectfully replied, "I choose to purchase. I can offer six million Immortal Crystals, but not in one payment. Instead, I’ll pay a hundred thousand Immortal Crystals annually, completing the payment over sixty years."

With the current reserves and financial strength of the Wang Family, gathering five million Immortal Crystals in cash all at once wouldn’t be difficult. However, the Wang Family is presently in a rapid growth phase with many areas requiring investment.

If they were to truly hand over five million Immortal Crystals all at once, it would be like eating an egg now at the cost of losing many chickens later. Paying with a bit of interest over time is the most cost-effective for the Wang Family.

In addition to this, Wang Shouzhe actually considered exchanging using the incomplete "Golden Toad Treasure Manual", but after "in-depth research" with Liu Ruolan over the years, he found that this manual is not a demonic Replenishing Treasure Manual as expected. Instead, it contains many profound truths directly pointing to the origin of life and the Dao of Yin-Yang; though unconventional, it is nonetheless a legitimate Treasure Manual.

If the couple cultivates this manual together, they can achieve a speed of growth where "one plus one is greater than two".

The reason Old Ghost Jiang turned it into a Replenishing Treasure Manual was entirely due to his own unprincipled heart and lack of restraint.

Also, this manual is only partly incomplete, not just an introductory section like an upper half Chapter.

If it can be gradually completed, perhaps it will become a family inheritance manual for the Wang Family. Though unconventional, it is still practically a manual pointing directly to the Lingxu Realm.

In terms of theoretical value, it far exceeds a one-time Divine Power Realm inheritance.

Therefore, directly spending money is the most cost-effective option.

"Alright, since you are also a registered disciple of Longzuo Academy," Jiang Zhencang considered for a moment and agreed to the plan, "However, since you have accepted the inheritance of the Cyan Emperor Valley, if the Sacred Land or the Daqian encounters a major crisis in the future, the current Saint Master holds the right to enlist your service."
