Chapter 218 The fruiting cycle of the Spirit Peach Tree, with spiritual energy feeding back.

"Breakthrough to the Golden Core stage!"

Upon hearing that Yan Ruyu was about to break through to the Golden Core stage, Zhang Xuanchen excitedly stood up.

He congratulated her, saying, "Then congratulations in advance to Sister Yan for breaking through to the Golden Core stage and achieving the title of True Person!"

As for the wedding banquet, it's alright if we miss it. If Sister Yan really wants to drink, Ling Shuang and I will just get married again.

Yan Ruyu holds a very important place in Zhang Xuanchen's heart; they are not siblings, but their bond is stronger than that of blood siblings.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu was extremely happy.

Over the past ten years, Zhang Xuanchen has grown from a little boy into a handsome young man who is now taller than himself.

She was filled with emotion.

Time really flies.

Before she knew it, she was approaching thirty.

Now that things have reached a satisfactory conclusion, it's time to make a breakthrough.

He patted Zhang Xuanchen on the shoulder, sat down opposite him, picked up his teacup, toasted with Zhang Xuanchen instead of drinking wine, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Then I'll take your kind words, Xiao Chen~"

By the way, what brings you here today?

"Speak quickly, or you'll miss your chance."

Upon hearing Yan Ruyu's question, Zhang Xuanchen did not stand on ceremony.

He said directly, "Sister Yan, I would like to ask Elder Xu to help me upgrade a second-grade top-quality spiritual vein to a third-grade mid-quality one."

My Zhang family now only has one third-grade high-quality spiritual vein, which is already very difficult to maintain the operation of the formation.

Now that the Ancestor has broken through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, if the Grand Elder also successfully breaks through to the early stage of the Golden Core realm...

The spiritual energy on Xuanxiao Mountain is simply insufficient, and may even lead to damage to the spiritual veins.

"Upgrading to a mid-grade third-tier spiritual vein will also help alleviate some of the pressure on that high-grade third-tier spiritual vein."

It wasn't that Zhang Xuanchen didn't want to upgrade his third-grade superior spiritual vein to a third-grade supreme quality.

Rather, it's due to insufficient financial resources.

The Zhang family simply doesn't have that many mid-grade spirit stones.

Zhang Xuanchen sold dozens of high-grade spirit peaches at the Baojin Sword Pavilion and dozens more to Bai Zijing. At this time, Zhang Xuanchen had a total of 51,000 mid-grade spirit stones.

He has 42 spirit peaches of the third rank or higher left, and quite a few second-rank spirit peaches, totaling about 5,000.

There are even more first-tier peach trees, since most of those ten thousand peach trees are first-tier spirit peach trees.

However, because that space was rather boring, the Azure Golden Monkey clan ruined most of it while playing around.

Even if you sell all the first-tier spirit peaches, you won't get many spirit stones.

A first-tier spirit peach tree typically ripens once every three to five years, producing thirty to fifty fruits.

A second-tier spirit peach tree typically ripens once every ten to twenty years, producing fifteen to twenty-five fruits.

A third-tier spirit peach tree typically ripens once every thirty to a hundred years, producing nine to twelve fruits.

Most peach trees have this fruiting cycle, though there are exceptions, but they are relatively rare.

For this reason, Zhang Xuanchen did not want to sell spirit peaches of the second rank or higher.

Instead, they wanted to refine these spirit peaches into pills to enhance the family's strength.

The second-tier spirit peach will take at least ten years to ripen again.

The reason I sold it earlier was because I didn't want to break my promise to the Great Sage.

Creating a habitat for the Azure Golden Monkey clan is essential.

If even this is not done, even if the Great Sage does not say it, a rift will arise in his heart.

This is not what Zhang Xuanchen wanted to see.

Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Elder Xu turned his gaze to Yan Ruyu.

He knew that the young lady planned to leave in the next few days.

Feeling the gaze from Elder Xu, Yan Ruyu nodded.

He laughed and said, "Sure, it will take no more than half a month."

"No rush, Mr. Xu, thank you for your help with this."

"It is what I should do," Old Master Xu replied respectfully.

Then, looking at Zhang Xuanchen, he said, "Xuanchen, it takes 20,000 mid-grade spirit stones to upgrade a second-grade top-quality spirit vein to a third-grade low-quality spirit vein."

The number of steps required to advance from a low-grade third rank to a mid-grade third rank is roughly the same.

Just in case, you should prepare at least 45,000 mid-grade spirit stones.

Zhang Xuanchen was taken aback when he heard the amount of spirit stones that Elder Xu required.

It wasn't because there were more, but because there were five thousand fewer mid-grade spirit stones than he had investigated.

Do array masters earn spirit stones like that?

If it were any other array master this time, they could earn five thousand mid-grade spirit stones with just this one move.

It's too cruel.

Seeing Zhang Xuanchen's expression, Elder Xu asked with a smile, "Too much?"

"Of course not." Zhang Xuanchen shook his head, gave a wry smile, and continued, "I just want to learn formations."

Upon hearing this, Old Xu laughed heartily, and even Yan Ruyu covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Xuan Chen, do not be greedy. You have exceptional talent, so you should focus on cultivation. In the end, this world is all about strength."

Furthermore, since you have already entered the path of alchemy, if you were to pursue the path of formations, it would only backfire.

It should be understood that a person's energy is limited.

Upon hearing Elder Xu's guidance, Zhang Xuanchen stood up and respectfully bowed.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Xu. I have learned a great deal."

"Hmm." Old Xu nodded. "When a spiritual vein advances, it will be accompanied by a feedback of spiritual energy."

After you return to your clan, select ten Foundation Establishment cultivators and fifty Qi Refining late-stage or higher cultivators to sit cross-legged beside the spiritual vein.

It will bring them unexpected benefits.

Zhang Xuanchen naturally knew about the spiritual energy feedback mechanism, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Elder Xu, may I ask what materials are needed to upgrade the spirit vein, and how many spirit stones are required for your assistance?"

Upon hearing this question, Old Xu smiled and shook his head:

"I don't need spirit stones, but I need you to do something for me in the future."

Don't worry, this matter will not be difficult for you, and it will definitely be within your capabilities. How about it?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen agreed without hesitation:

"Okay, I promise!"

Since it's within my capabilities, why shouldn't I agree?

It should be noted that the fee for a third-tier top-grade array master to perform an operation is at least three thousand mid-grade spirit stones, and with the materials needed to advance the spirit vein, it will definitely be twenty thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

If there's a chance to save money, of course we shouldn't let it pass us by.

If Old Xu really wanted to harm him, he definitely wouldn't be alive now.

There's nothing to worry about.

"Haha, alright, it's settled then. Go back to your clan and prepare. I will head to Xuanxiao Mountain tomorrow."

"Okay, Mr. Xu, Sister Yan, see you tomorrow."

After saying this, Zhang Xuanchen left the Tianya Restaurant and flew back to his family.

After Zhang Xuanchen left, Yan Ruyu looked at Old Xu and sighed:

"Old Master Xu, you still can't let him go after all. But even Master can't predict when Xuan Chen will go to the Central Immortal Continent."

Will he be able to wait until then?

Old Xu sighed deeply and said in a deep voice, "Alas, he is still my son after all."

How could they possibly not care about his life or death?

Whether or not we can wait that long is up to fate.
