Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

"The members of the Southern Territory Song Clan have mostly been found by us. Once this matter is concluded, they will naturally be properly settled, and the clan resources will be distributed as needed. The Saint Heir needn\'t worry himself about it."

"The Immortal Ascension Method is the Song Clan\'s most guarded secret, not even known to collateral branches, let alone being handed over to an outsider. This matter no longer needs to be mentioned by the Saint Heir."

Song Shengming didn\'t believe a word of what Chu Zheng said; he felt that Chu Zheng\'s appetite was simply too large, wanting to swallow half of the Secret Realm in one bite.

"Let\'s leave it at that, then."

Facing Song Shengming\'s reaction, Chu Zheng smiled faintly and waved his hand indifferently: "You all may leave now."

Since the Eastern Territory Song Clan\'s stance was so firm, Chu Zheng couldn\'t be bothered to engage in fruitless arguments with them.

Chu Zheng was willing to talk, which was an opportunity for them. If they didn\'t wish to open the Secret Realm together, then the Eastern Territory Song Clan would have to settle for the leftovers.

"Saint Heir, might there still be room for negotiation in this matter?"

Faced with a difficult situation, Song Shengming calmed his anger and said in a gentler tone:

"After all, our Song Clan is a True Immortal noble family, and who\'s to say there won\'t be another True Immortal emerging in the future? It\'s only due to temporary difficulties that we are seeking help from others. Moreover, without the remaining fragments of the Blood Jade, the Secret Realm cannot be opened. Why must the Saint Heir push people too far? Why not both of us take a step back?"

"I can decide to give the Saint Heir one-fifth of the share. The rest of the resources are needed to subsidize our people in the Southern Region."

To this, Chu Zheng neither confirmed nor denied, but just shook his head and walked back to his seat.

This untroubled demeanor made Song Shengming somewhat startled at that moment, giving him the impression that Chu Zheng was confident and uninterested in discussing cooperation.

For a time, the grand hall fell into silence.

After a while, Song Shengming\'s gaze shifted slightly: "Saint Heir, you previously said that half of it is for the Southern Territory Song Clan\'s needs — is that true?"

"Of course," Chu Zheng nodded.

"How about this: I will move all the members of the Southern Territory Song Clan into Taixuan City, and after the Secret Realm is opened, half of the share you mentioned, please hand it directly to our Southern Territory people. How about that?"

"Just because you say they are from the Southern Territory Song Clan, does that make them so?"

Hearing what Song Shengming said, Chu Zheng\'s smile faded, and disappointment was hard to hide in his eyes.

He had thought Song Shengming would make concessions, but it turned out he was still being treated like a three-year-old.

The Southern Territory Song Clan had been separate for countless years, with hearts scattered and no cohesion to speak of. Experience exclusive tales on m v|l e\'-NovelBin.net

Even if Song Shengming truly brought these people, with a few Song Clan elders blended in and a bit of manipulation, he could control the entire Southern Territory Song Clan — thus, that half of the share would essentially be thrown back into the hands of the Eastern Territory Song Clan.

It was nothing but shifting from the left hand to the right hand, just making a round through the hands.

"I will find the people of the Southern Territory Song Clan myself; you are already out of the game," Chu Zheng stood up, his expression indifferent: "See the guests out."

To find people through bloodlines, Qi Cultivators weren\'t short of such methods; it would just take some time.

Gong Rulong said nothing and gestured with his hand.

"I indeed wish to see how the Saint Heir plans to knock the Song lineage out of the game," replied Song Shengming with a cold laugh, no longer lingering, and turned to leave directly.

Without the other fragments and the Essence Blood of the Song Clan\'s direct lineage, it was simply impossible to open that piece of the Secret Realm. If Chu Zheng wanted the resources within, he would have to sit down and talk to them again.

An elder followed and saw the group off from Taixuan.

From beginning to end, Gong Rulong never spoke until the three from the Song Clan were gone, then he finally said:

"The Song Clan is far in the Eastern Region, and their current situation isn\'t very good. They are being pressed hard by the other \'Zhao\' and \'Yuan\' families. Do whatever you want to do; there\'s no need to care about them."

He now offers unconditional support for all of Chu Zheng\'s actions; this monster, soaring to the sky as a dragon was only a matter of time.

"Zhao?"

On hearing these words, Chu Zheng looked slightly stunned, a flash of insight crossing his mind, inevitably thinking of the Zhao Clan of Great Zhou.

Could it be that Zhao Tingxian was originally a True Immortal descendant?

Indeed, after that man became the Taixu Holy Son, he inexplicably disappeared without a trace, and perhaps there was some possibility in that.

"Even a True Immortal noble family has its day of decline," Gong Rulong sighed softly: "The True Immortal of our Taixuan Holy Land, since joining the Immortal Alliance, there has been no news, just like these declining True Immortal noble families, no difference at all."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng couldn\'t help but fall into thought.

Those who had crossed the Immortal Sect and had become True Immortals, including the Cangyun Immortal King, seemed to have never returned since leaving the realm.

As True Immortals, it was impossible that they couldn\'t spare a moment of time; they should at least return to their homeland for a glance.

If they are too busy to leave or can\'t return, and if it\'s the latter, it\'s very likely they are no longer among the living.

```

The lifespan of a True Immortal was unknown to Chu Zheng, but undoubtedly, it was a staggeringly high number, far more than tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

That not a single True Immortal had returned over such an immense span of time spoke volumes of the inherent issues.

Chu Zheng feared that even the Immortal Alliance\'s circumstances were far from optimistic, and that even True Immortals faced the danger of death.

If the True Immortals who had left the Cangyun Realm had mostly perished...

At that thought, Chu Zheng couldn\'t help but shudder.

Calmness restored, he spoke in a somber tone, "Elder Gong, regarding the Five Elements Spiritual Object, I hope you can help me find a way."

"I\'ve already ordered people to search for it."

Gong Rulong was visibly worried as he replied, "Low-grade spiritual objects are easy to find, but high-grade ones are not that readily available. Most of them are monopolized by the Four Great Sacred Lands, and if any appear, they are quickly taken by others."

Moreover, with Taixuan not having emerged in the world for ten thousand years, their knowledge of the Southern Region was much less compared to the other Sacred Lands.

Over such a long period, the other Four Great Sacred Lands had perfected their control over the Southern Region, leaving virtually no land unclaimed.

"For constructing a nine-layer Dao Foundation, the quality of the spiritual object must at least surpass that of the Heavenly Flame Grass."

Gong Rulong\'s voice became more subdued, "To give an example with the water attribute, most of the spiritual objects not inferior to the Heavenly Flame Grass are, to my knowledge, in the hands of the Taixu Holy Land."

Given the current relationship between Taixuan and Tai Xu, even if Taixuan were willing to humble themselves and seek a trade, Tai Xu would no longer give them that opportunity.

Spiritual objects, unlike spiritual herbs and immortal medicines that could enhance the quality of a Celestial Foundation, were always in high demand and short supply.

"Tai Xu Holy Land..."

At the mention of Tai Xu Holy Land, Chu Zheng\'s eyes flickered slightly, "What exactly are those objects? Please enlighten me, Elder."

"Semi-Immortal Dragon Saliva, Cloud Pool Holy Water, Dragon Whale Heartblood—these are all high-quality spiritual objects."

Gong Rulong clearly had a thorough understanding of these items, listing them off like treasures of his own home:

"Besides these, within the Tai Xu Holy Land there is another supreme spiritual object known as \'Ten Thousand Stars Heavenly Dew.\'

"It is the ancestral Immortal Treasure that anchors the fate of the Tai Xu Holy Land, \'Tai Xu Sword,\' which absorbs the radiance of the universe\'s stars and condenses the heavenly dew upon the sword\'s body. Among supreme spiritual objects, it is also of the highest grade."

Seeing Chu Zheng entranced and seemingly interested, Gong Rulong did not keep secrets, instead he expanded the topic, continuing to speak:

"The Nine Transformations of Divine Infant to Enter Tong Xuan represents a major threshold, similar to condensing a Dao Foundation when entering the Dao. Having a high-grade spiritual object that matches one\'s constitution can save a lot of effort and greatly increase the chances of success."

"The Great Void Scripture belongs to the water attribute, and this object is specifically intended by the Tai Xu Holy Land for Qi Cultivators undergoing the Nine Transformations to break through. The output is extremely low, producing only a small bowl every three thousand years—just enough for one person\'s use."

As he reached this point, Gong Rulong shook his head, "I had the fortune to witness this Ten Thousand Stars Heavenly Dew. Before the mountain was sealed, a Pill Master of Taixuan wanted to perform alchemy and exchanged a Sixth Order Divine Fire\'s Fire Seed with the Tai Xu Holy Land for a small bowl. It truly is a rarity in this world."

After finishing, he shook his head gently. Now that Tai Xu and Taixuan had become mortal enemies, otherwise he would not hesitate to offer another Sixth Order Divine Fire\'s Fire Seed for Chu Zheng, if it could be of help.

"Thank you, Elder."

Chu Zheng expressed his gratitude, and then said,

"I need to enter seclusion for a period of time to stabilize my Dao Foundation. Please assist me in keeping an eye out for any news on spiritual objects."

"No worries, just focus on your cultivation," Gong Rulong waved his hand dismissively and hurried off. He needed to take a more careful look through the treasure vault of the Taixuan Holy Land, to see if there was anything else Chu Zheng could use.

...

...

After half a month, Chu Zheng completely stabilized his Dantian. Unbeknownst to him, his Immortal Path Cultivation had already stepped into the late stage of the Entry Dao Realm, catching up with his Qi-refining technique, and his mana surged once again.

As soon as the Five Elements Foundation reached Perfection, he would immediately be able to step into the Perfection Realm of entry path, and begin Soul Condensing.

As the medicinal power of the Five Elements Shaping Pill continued to be released, Chu Zheng\'s physique was also undergoing subtle changes, starting to transform towards the Five Elements Primordial Body.

The speed at which he absorbed the Five Elements Spiritual Energy was gradually becoming more balanced.

Unfortunately, there was only one Shaping Yuan Pill, and due to Chu Zheng\'s own profound foundation, it was somewhat unsustainable.

After emerging from seclusion, Chu Zheng found Song Lingxue and briefly informed her, then greeted Geng Yiyang. Without alarming anyone, he quietly left the Taixuan Holy Land.

This time, leaving Taixuan, he had two things to do: one was to find Song Lingqing, and the other was for the Ten Thousand Stars Heavenly Dew.

In the Tai Xu Holy Land, he just happened to have a card to play.

...

...

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

In a desolate mountain range tens of thousands of miles away from the Tai Xu Holy Land, Chu Zheng sat cross-legged among the mountains and forests, appearing like a rotting piece of wood, without the slightest breath escaping.

After a long while, a spiritual light arrived from the sky, landing in front of Chu Zheng and transforming into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young woman with a lovely appearance and a radiant gaze.

It was Miao Luan, the True Transmission of the Tai Xu Holy Land.
