NOVEL WEB Chapter 290 Transformation
After a fierce bidding, Li Qian finally secured the Return to Void land for fifteen hundred celestial crystals.
"Go find out, what is the background of this Divine Sword Sect?"
Privately, some forces began to pay attention.
After all, without a sufficiently strong backing, even if one wins the bid for the Return to Void land, it would be very difficult to keep it safe.
This is also the main reason why Li Qian agreed to collaborate with Nan Xi.
After signing the agreement, Li Qian and Nan Xi left the Evergreen Immortal Mansion, took a Transmission Array, and went to take over the Return to Void land they had acquired.
This piece of Return to Void land originally belonged to an affiliated hall called Xingyun Mountain Villa, which also had Immortal Register disciples behind it. However, that Immortal Register disciple had a mishap, causing Xingyun Mountain Villa to be unable to renew the agreement.
Although Xingyun Mountain Villa has already withdrawn, the supporting infrastructure of the Return to Void land in the Tower District is still operational.
It's just a bit chaotic.
Li Qian and Nan Xi hovered in the air, overlooking the entire Tower District.
It's similar to the facilities of the Lihuo Palace... Or rather, any Return to Void land within the Yuhua Immortal Gate's range is like this.
It is said that these Tower District facilities were built by the Yuhua Immortal Gate.
"The number of Refinement Returners doesn't seem to be particularly large, does it?"
Nan Xi suddenly said.
"I guess before Xingyun Mountain Villa withdrew, they transferred most of the Refinement Returners here to other halls."
Li Qian replied.
Although the value of Refinement Returners is not high, when their numbers add up, they form a considerable amount of celestial crystals.
The reason Xingyun Mountain Villa didn't sell off all the Refinement Returners in one go is probably due to some apprehension.
After all, if the force that bought the Return to Void land found all the Refinement Returners gone, they would surely hold Xingyun Mountain Villa accountable.
"A few less won't matter; we didn't plan to rely on Refinement Returners to earn celestial crystals anyway."
Li Qian said with a smile.
Their purpose was to establish a complete Return to Void organization for their two Lower Realms, thereby increasing the ascension rate of the Lower Realms.
Only in this way can they gradually form their own core power in the Upper Realm.
"Indeed."
Nan Xi nodded.
The Lower Realm she belonged to was called Canglan World, and compared to Li Qian's Longevity Realm, the biological races were relatively single, with only two major races, the Elf Clan and the Spirit Clan.
Nan Xi was part of the Elf Clan.
As for the Spirit Clan, they mainly formed through the demonization of various non-human entities, somewhat similar to the Demon Race in the Longevity Realm, but fundamentally different as the Demon Race in the Longevity Realm primarily consists of beasts.
In contrast, the Spirit Clan of Canglan World is mainly composed of the Five Elements, like plant spiritual materials, mineral rocks, water and fire elements, etc.
Beasts can't become spirits.
Li Qian estimated this involved the rules of heaven and earth.
With the acquisition of a piece of Return to Void land, the Divine Sword Sect finally followed a proper path.
The three individuals from Divine Sword Sect's Xingzhui were immediately transferred by Li Qian to the Return to Void land, responsible for the operation of the Tower District.
Following that, Li Qian reached a cooperation agreement with several affiliated halls like Lihuo Palace.
That is, to exchange Refinement Returners from other Lower Realms with those from the Longevity Realm and Canglan World.
The exchange ratio is two to one.
For affiliated halls like Lihuo Palace, this is an absolutely profitable and risk-free deal.
In this way, the number of Refinement Returners in the Divine Sword Sect decreased significantly, gradually being replaced by those from the Longevity Realm and Canglan World.
Li Qian accepted all Refinement Returners as long as they were from the two Lower Realms, regardless of their world of origin.
However, Li Qian discovered a problem, which was that all the Refinement Returners had reached the Longevity Realm... Not one was at the Supreme Saint Level.
The reason is actually simple, the Supreme Saint Level Refinement Returners are of no value to the affiliated halls of the Return to Void land.
Therefore, these affiliated halls only bring back Refinement Returners from the Return to Void land when they reach the Longevity Realm...
After discussing with Nan Xi, Li Qian also decided to focus on the Longevity Level Refinement Returners.
As for the Supreme Saint Level... it wasn't necessary for the time being.
After all, crossing from the Supreme Saint to the Longevity Realm itself is a huge threshold... If it can't be crossed, there's not much point to Return to Void.
After busying himself for a period, the Divine Sword Sect's operations in the Return to Void land stabilized without encountering any trouble.
This is the benefit of collaborating with Nan Xi; having a Dao Fruit Level disciple from the Unrivaled Dao Palace as a shield reduces a lot of hassles.
Li Qian also began to dedicate his time to cultivation.
He prepared to diligently cultivate and quickly elevate his Dao Rhythm from the Enlightenment Stage to the Transformation Stage.
A year later.
Within the Chenzhong Cave Heaven.
Li Qian sat cross-legged, contemplating the Sword Dao Rhythm in an Enlightenment State.
Suddenly... his body shuddered, and an intangible Dao Rhythm released from his body, forming a sword shadow that soared into the sky, seemingly breaking through the barriers of the grotto heaven, causing an unusual resonance with the heaven and earth outside.
Li Qian's thoughts and consciousness also seemed to establish a very special connection with the heaven and earth through the Sword Dao Rhythm.
Strands of mysterious power entered his body through this connection and were absorbed by the Frosty Seed.
This connection lasted only a moment before it broke off.
Li Qian slowly opened his eyes, a trace of weariness showing.
"Strange, why does it consume so much spirit?"
He muttered to himself, letting out a sigh.
As he focused his mind, the Chen Bell Sound echoed in his mind, alleviating the spiritual fatigue.
Suddenly, he summoned up the system interface to check the latest information.
