Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 391 - 227: Mountain and Marsh Fire Crystal, Qing Family Ancestor

When Qi Chuan stepped out of the Cave Mansion, he saw Guan Yunyun waiting outside.

"Junior Brother Qi Chuan, you are finally out. You... hmm?" Guan Yunyun smiled upon seeing Qi Chuan, but the next moment, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Qi Chuan with a trace of confusion.

"Senior Sister Guan, what’s wrong?" Seeing this, Qi Chuan asked.

"...It’s nothing, it’s just that Junior Brother Qi Chuan seems a little different from before." Guan Yunyun shook her head and said.

Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan immediately understood that since his breakthrough, his mental state, aura, and hidden spiritual pressure had all changed, giving Guan Yunyun a different feeling overall.

However, Guan Yunyun’s cultivation was only at the Core Formation Middle Stage, and now she was at the same realm as him. Plus, with Qi Chuan possessing a First-Grade Nine Orifice Golden Core, he was naturally different from others, so Guan Yunyun could not directly see through his realm, thus having such a reaction.

Qi Chuan smiled slightly, without elaborating further, but instead asked why Guan Yunyun had come to find him: "Senior Sister Guan, you came to see me, is there something you need?"

Guan Yunyun nodded and said, "Indeed, I have some private matter that requires Junior Brother Qi Chuan’s help. I just don’t know if you have time."

Help?

Qi Chuan did not say whether he had time or not but asked, "May I know what Senior Sister needs my help with?"

Guan Yunyun explained, "It’s like this..."

"I have an acquaintance with a Core Formation Clan in Xi Country within the Immortal Sect. Recently, they conveyed a message to me, having discovered some traces of Mountain and Marsh Fire Crystal. It’s a rather good spiritual ore, extremely rare, and collecting it will undoubtedly have its uses in the future."

"However, I’ve recently been assigned a task, and can’t go there myself. The situation there is somewhat urgent. I initially sought out Senior Brother Hu Tianying and Senior Brother Feng Tan, but they are also preparing for the upcoming Demon Insect Nest event, each having their own matters to attend to. That’s why I turned to you, Junior Brother. I wonder if you have time recently? If not, I’ll have to seek someone else."

"And if you agree, Junior Brother, the Core Formation Clan is willing to give me eighty percent of the Mountain and Marsh Fire Crystal, and I can split half of that with you. Alternatively, it can be exchanged for other equivalent resources."

After speaking, Guan Yunyun’s eyes fell on Qi Chuan’s face, seemingly worried that he would also be unavailable.

"Mountain and Marsh Fire Crystal?" Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan’s eyes brightened slightly.

Mountain and Marsh Fire Crystal is indeed a rare and precious Tier Three Middle Grade spiritual ore, albeit its uses are somewhat narrow, mainly used for setting up High Tier Arrays. Occasionally, a little is added when refining Magical Treasures.

However, few people know that Mountain and Marsh Fire Crystal is actually both a mineral and a medicinal material, that can be used to refine elixirs. In the legacy of Celestial Pill Elder, there is a Tier Three Middle Grade Pill Formula that uses Mountain and Marsh Fire Crystal as the main ingredient.

After consumption by a Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivator, this elixir can significantly boost cultivation speed. Among the various auxiliary cultivation Tier Three Middle Grade elixirs in the Celestial Pill Elder’s legacy, it is outstanding.

If he could obtain some Mountain and Marsh Fire Crystal and refine it into elixir for use, his cultivation would likely improve at a decent rate, and the time to break through to the Core Formation Late Stage would be greatly shortened.

However, since Guan Yunyun promised him half of the Mountain and Marsh Fire Crystal as such a generous reward, the journey is likely not just a simple visit to Xi Country, and there might be some trouble.

Qi Chuan looked at Guan Yunyun and tentatively asked, "Senior Sister Guan, this journey might involve some danger, right?"

Guan Yunyun nodded and said, "To be honest with Junior Brother Qi Chuan, the site where the Mountain and Marsh Fire Crystal is produced is indeed inhabited by a few Core Formation Early Stage Demon Beasts. That’s why I initially sought Senior Brother Hu Tianying and Senior Brother Feng Tan, given their Core Formation Middle Stage cultivation, to ensure they can handle those beasts."

"However, Junior Brother Qi Chuan recently showcased immense prowess in the Three Sects competition, defeating both Qing Jianzi and Song Dan, and now, after a few years, your strength should have improved and should be able to deal with those few beasts. Moreover, the ancestor of that Core Formation Clan will also lend a hand."

"Alternatively, Junior Brother Qi Chuan, you can first take a look. If it can be resolved, then resolve it. If it’s truly difficult, you can come back and inform me. At that time, I’ll think of other solutions, though I would still give you a substantial reward."

Seeing Guan Yunyun speak to this extent, refusing seemed improper.

Besides, it was merely a few Core Formation Early Stage Demon Beasts, which was not a difficult task for Qi Chuan now.

Furthermore, Qi Chuan also desired the Mountain and Marsh Fire Crystal. He was merely clarifying the situation without any intention of not going.

Thus, Qi Chuan nodded and smiled, saying, "Alright, since Senior Sister Guan has said so, I can’t refuse. As it happens, I am free recently, so I’ll make this trip for Senior Sister."

"Wonderful, Junior Brother Qi Chuan, thank you." Guan Yunyun was delighted upon hearing his response.

Qi Chuan waved his hand and said, "It’s no trouble. Besides, Senior Sister Guan is also offering compensation."

Then Qi Chuan turned and made way, saying to Guan Yunyun, "Would Senior Sister Guan like to come in for a cup of Spirit Tea?"

"No, I’m quite busy recently; otherwise, I’d have gone myself. Since this matter is settled, I should get on with completing the task for the Immortal Sect." Guan Yunyun shook her head.
