Chapter 351 -157: “Brother Qiu, are you going alone?”_4
Instead, it brought a deadly disaster upon the “Yuan Sect”.
Even the strongest Golden Core Heavenly Pride couldn’t possibly annihilate a Yuan Sect guarded by a Nascent Soul pinnacle master.
If nothing unexpected happens…
This Talent of Magic Practitioner is very likely not a Loose Cultivator, but rather has a power backing him. If that’s the case, the opportunity to recruit this Talent originally planned might have to be put on hold for now.
But it’s essential not to offend him.
Thoughts raced through his mind and vanished in an instant as he once again squeezed out a smile and cheerfully said, “Good, since Brother Ren is so confident, I won’t say any more. The Inheritance Secret Realm will open tomorrow.”
...
“These past few days, many Heavenly Prides have come to Quzhou. Tonight there’s a discussion gathering, Brother Ren can stay at the inn we’ve specifically cleared for you. In the evening, you can join the discussion. Everyone as a Heavenly Pride of Quzhou certainly has a lot in common.”
“Good.”
…
In Su City, inside the inn.
Chen Qiu strolled around with Fat Long and the others for a while before returning to the inn prepared by the Su Family for them, the best inn in Su City, occupied only by their esteemed guests, without any other customers.
At the moment, the group was setting up a soundproofing array to discuss matters.
“Brother Qiu, we’ve found out,” Fat Long said, his eyes brimming with excited trembling voice. “You can’t imagine how much that piece of Evil Wood is worth! A whole ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones each!”
“How… how much?”
Even Chen Qiu was somewhat incredulously shocked on the spot.
Ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones each?
He had nearly 200,000 of those things!
That meant he had to wipe out an Evil Demon Sect just to finally save up nearly ten thousand Spirit Stones!
So, the 200,000 pieces of Evil Wood he brought from Da Xia were worth 2 million Mid-grade Spirit Stones?! And bloody Mid-grade ones at that?!
“Absolutely certain!!!”
Fat Long nodded vigorously and took a deep breath to suppress the excitement in his heart, continuing, “But in the Xuantian Continent, the Evil Wood is pretty much considered useless, Brother Qiu, you could never imagine what the most significant use of Evil Wood is on the Xuantian Continent.”
“Basically, there are three uses.”
“One, in the Heavenly Pride secret realm, it can be used as consumption material to exchange for some limited-time enhancement effects.”
“Two, it’s used as material when forging high-grade Golden Cores or even high-quality Nascent Souls.”
“Three, to mend the heavens!”
“Mend the heavens?” Chen Qiu’s eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.
“Yep.” Fat Long continued with a serious face, “Evil Wood isn’t much use on the Xuantian Continent, so most people won’t purchase it. Although it’s not common, there’s still some. But, a hundred years ago, the sky suddenly collapsed…”
“To be precise, a hole suddenly broke open in the sky, causing the spiritual energy of the Xuantian Continent to leak out frantically, and that hole couldn’t be mended.”
“If this hole continues to exist, the Xuantian Continent will soon not have a trace of spiritual energy, and then everyone’s cultivation can only rely on Spirit Stones, but Spirit Stones are finite after all, and without nature’s spiritual energy, no more Spirit Stones will form.”
“Gradually, gradually…”
“The Xuantian Continent will become a true land of failing cultivation; once all the high-level cultivators are dead, there will be no more Golden Cores, let alone Foundation Establishment, and everyone will be mere mortals,” he said.
“This is a natural catastrophe, almost a destructive disaster for the Xuantian Continent.”
“Right when everyone was at a loss, a Holy Daughter from a sect in the central region began to collect a large amount of Evil Wood.”
“It took her a year to almost completely gather all the Evil Wood on the Xuantian Continent, using it to plug the hole in the sky.”
“As a result, the Holy Daughter from that central sect earned immense merits, amounting to over a hundred billion.”
“However, that sect’s Holy Daughter did not live to return.”
“Since then—”
“The disaster was averted, and now in many places across the nineteen provinces of the Xuantian Continent, statues of the Holy Daughter from that sect have been erected to commemorate her and her sect’s contributions to the Xuantian Continent.”
“That sect is now one of the top sects in the central region, it’s said that the hundred billion merits turned to nurture the sect after the Holy Daughter’s death, allowing it to flourish for a century.”
“Because that hole had appeared over the lower nine provinces, the average density of spiritual energy in the lower nine provinces was weaker compared to the upper nine provinces and central region. Over the years, it has gradually recovered quite a bit but is still not as good as the other provinces, which has also led to the decline in overall strength in the lower nine provinces. Many powerful individuals are reluctant to stay in the lower nine provinces and instead head for the central region.”
“Evil Wood also has some minor effects, but those are niche and not needed by most people, and Evil Wood is not suitable for crafting.”

“Lately, many are eagerly purchasing Evil Wood, mainly to enhance the foundation for their sect’s Heavenly Prides on the ‘Path of Heavenly Pride’.”
“But… Brother Qiu, those nearly 200,000 pieces of Evil Wood you have will probably only be sold in part; the market can’t absorb so much, given that there are so few participants in the Path of Heavenly Pride.”
“The Eight Desolate Fruit is similarly a heaven-mending treasure.”
“At that time, the Holy Daughter of that sect also collected quite a number of Eight Desolate Fruits. These fruits are colorless and tasteless, belonging to the nature’s spiritual fruits. Besides this use, they are some of the spiritual treasures’ most favored food ingredients. The Eight Desolate Fruit is very expensive, with the price of a single fruit around one thousand mid-grade spirit stones.”
“Its main use is to attract spiritual treasures.”
“To facilitate their capture.”
“…”
Chen Qiu sat silently in his chair, his index finger lightly tapping on the desk without speaking. A hundred billion merits, just hearing it is a terrifying figure; currently, on the Xuantian Continent’s merit ranking, he is in third place.
But even the first place has just barely over ten billion merit points.
A hundred billion merit points, that’s equivalent to ten of him.
He had never met this Holy Daughter from the central sect but he felt some admiration for what she did. He asked himself, if the sky of Quzhou were to fall, he could use all of his Evil Wood to mend it, but he probably wouldn’t sacrifice his life for it.
He’d be dead.
What point would there be in fixing the sky then?
Precisely because he couldn’t do it, he felt considerable respect for this Holy Daughter he had never met. A person who truly used their own life to resolve the calamity of the masses, that hundred billion merit points were well-deserved.
It was just a pity.
Had she not died, with a hundred billion merit points… she would have been able to do whatever she wanted in the Xuantian Continent.
Chen Qiu shook his head and didn’t dwell on it any further. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed to rest and conserve energy for tomorrow’s Su Family’s Inheritance Secret Realm, wondering what the Inheritance Secret Realm would involve.
The aspect in which they would be assessed.
He was quite confident in his skills, but the issue was that the Inheritance Secret Realm sometimes tested more than just one’s strength.
