"Who... who... who's the elder present here?"

Zhang Yongkang's first reaction was that the copper mirror must contain the remnant soul of an elder to result in such a change.

Otherwise, there was no way to understand what was happening now.

In the Cultivation Realm, there were many Nascent Soul Stage, and even Divinity Transformation Stage elders who had fallen for various reasons.

However, a wisp of remnant soul could be left on some exotic treasures, wandering for a long time until someone stumbled upon it.

Could it be that the Zhang Family had picked up the remnant soul of a cultivator?

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the copper mirror remained still, and Yang Ping'er hesitantly said, "Senior Brother, could it be that you guessed wrong?"

"This copper mirror is not the remnant soul of any elder, but... our opportunity!"

"Opportunity?"

"Exactly."

Yang Ping'er, suppressing her excitement, said, "That Niu Liang became strange after obtaining this item, especially with that peculiar one-time magical artifact in his hand."

"Then..."

"Let me try."

Yang Ping'er said as she reached out and touched the copper mirror again, and softly said, "Strongest Clan Cultivation System, what is your function?"

[This system is dedicated to nurturing cultivation clans, including but not limited to cultivator cultivation, arrays, elixirs, artifact refining, etc., making them the strongest family in the Cultivation Realm, dominating the realm!]

This line appeared on the copper mirror again, then disappeared, followed by another line.

[Given the current weak strength of the host, only the function for exchanging items from all heavens and realms is activated. The host can exchange items by consuming spirit stones.]

"Exchange function for items from all heavens and realms?"

Yang Ping'er and Zhang Yongkang exchanged a look and quickly understood something, that the function of this copper mirror... was similar to a kind of market?

A market?

Can we use spirit stones to exchange for items within it?

But looking at the copper mirror prompt, it is because their strength is too weak that only the exchange function can be activated.

Doesn't that mean that as long as their strength increases, they can activate other functions?

At this point, Zhang Shaohai also said, "Father! Mother! Look, words have appeared again."

On the copper mirror, amidst chaotic mist, lines of words appeared once more.

[Supreme Taoist Scripture: A saint's cultivation technique, when cultivated to the extreme, can suppress earth fire and feng shui, recreate heaven and earth, and become a saint, valued at one trillion top-grade spirit stones.]

[Jade Void Scripture: A saint's cultivation technique, when cultivated to the extreme, can suppress earth fire and feng shui, recreate heaven and earth, and become a saint, valued at one trillion top-grade spirit stones.]

[Heaven-reaching Secret Manual: A saint's cultivation technique, when cultivated to the extreme, can suppress earth fire and feng shui, recreate heaven and earth, and become a saint, valued at one trillion top-grade spirit stones.]

[Nine Revolutions Profound Skill: Quasi-saint cultivation technique, ...]

Yet another batch of mesmerizing cultivation techniques appeared before the Zhang Family, causing their eyes to twitch uncontrollably.

"Supreme Taoist Scripture? A saint's cultivation technique! Valued at one trillion top-grade spirit stones?"

"This, this, this... what kind of cultivation technique is this?"

"A saint's cultivation technique? Can it elevate a cultivator to the saint tier? What realm is the saint?"

"As far as old me knows, the last predecessor to ascend the Spirit Realm from our Canglan Realm was Ascendant Master Cangkun, a hundred and fifty-six years ago. Could it be that the saint realm is a realm of Spirit Realm cultivators?"

"No, it shouldn't be. This is valued at one trillion top-grade spirit stones! Top-grade spirit stones are extremely rare and precious even in the Spirit Realm, so how..."

"Could it be... the Immortal Realm!"

The group became even more excited, fully aware they had obtained something truly extraordinary!

The day of the Zhang Family's rise is at hand!

The exchange goods continued to scroll on the copper mirror.

Of course, because the present people in the Zhang Family were not like Niu Liang, most were late-stage Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators, and there was even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

And being a family-based approach, their knowledge and resources were incomparable to a loose cultivator like Niu Liang.

Therefore, Zheng Yi made adjustments when fabricating the exchange goods.

Some items that would attract loose cultivators did not appear, replaced by treasures catering to families.

For example, a Tier Three Mountain Protection Array "Profound Origin Spirit Gathering Array", priced at a thousand mid-grade spirit stones!

Another example, a Tier Three Spirit Beast Black Jade Profound Snake Egg, priced at five thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

As for the goods, Zheng Yi naturally didn't have them, but they were more than enough to deceive the Zhang Family in the initial stage.

Moreover, Zheng Yi marked appropriate prices for items that the Zhang Family urgently needed and could afford.

"Hmm?"

Yang Ping'er's expression suddenly changed, and she pressed her hand on the mirror's surface, causing the previously scrolling mirror surface to halt immediately.

"Senior Brother, I saw a one-time magical artifact exactly like the one in Niu Liang's hand."

"So it's called... Thunder Shock!"

On the mirror surface, a line of words appeared.

[Thunder Shock: One-time consumption magical artifact, pull the fuse to use, can cause a violent explosion. Valued at 10 lower-grade spirit stones.]

Ten spirit stones!

For the Zhang Family, Zheng Yi directly doubled the price of his grenade.

For Niu Liang, it might cost his entire fortune.

But for the Zhang Family, it's not very expensive.

Zhang Yongkang said, "Exchange for one."

Yang Ping'er took ten lower-grade spirit stones out from her storage pouch and placed them in front of the mirror.

Soon, a white light appeared, enveloping the ten lower-grade spirit stones.

In an instant, the ten lower-grade spirit stones vanished, replaced by a round Thunder Shock!

"This truly is fortune!"

The five of them were once again left speechless in shock, especially Zhang Yongkang, who fiercely patted his storage pouch, causing a spherical magical artifact to appear, immediately emitting a brilliant light.

The light emanated outward, instantly activating the Tier Two Array "Cloud Mist Colorful Scale Array" that protected the Zhang Family, enveloping the entire Zhang Family's main residence.

"This item, this item..."

Zhang Yongkang exclaimed excitedly, "This item is our Zhang Family's greatest treasure, no one must ever reveal it."

"Otherwise... the fate awaiting our Zhang Family is certain annihilation, do you understand?!"

Zhang Shaoyang, Zhang Shaoxing, and Zhang Shaohai immediately replied respectfully, "Yes! Father!"

Yang Ping'er carefully examined the Thunder Shock in her hand, particularly the ring, and solemnly said, "Senior Brother, this is indeed the item Niu Liang used that day."

"Just pull this ring, and it will explode in about three breaths."

"Its power... is equivalent to a casual strike from a late-stage Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator."

Zhang Yongkang said, "The most precious aspect of this item is actually its secrecy. I cannot sense any Spiritual Qi on it."

"If used for ambushes and covert operations, and with a greater quantity, its power would undoubtedly be immense!"

"Let's exchange for more; we can surely use this to catch the Lei Family off guard!"

"Father!"

Zhang Shaoxing suddenly said, "Since this item is so miraculous, why don't we search for elixirs that can heal father's injuries?"

"If father's injuries are healed, we won't have to fear the Lei Family!"

"Yes, Dad, and Second Aunt."

Zhang Shaoyang added, "The most urgent matter now is father's health!"

Zhang Shaohai nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, in any case, the Lei Family won't attack us right away. It's best to wait for father's injuries to heal."

Yang Ping'er's eyes brightened slightly, and she quickly started searching.

Zhang Yongkang felt comforted and said, "Hahaha, I, Zhang Yongkang, have three good sons, cough cough, cough cough cough..."

"Dad~"

Everyone hurried over, constantly patting Zhang Yongkang's back.

At this moment, Zheng Yi became anxious.

Damn it!

Where would I find healing elixirs?

Besides, to treat someone like Zhang Yongkang, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the elixir must be at the same level at least.

How can a mere Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivator like me treat a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?

Just as Zheng Yi was worrying, Zhang Yongkang spoke, "Don't waste your effort. My injury is a Spirit Soul Injury; ordinary elixirs cannot heal it."

"The Nether Abyss below is filled with Nether Spirit Qi that pollutes the Divine Soul, even Golden Core Cultivators can fall to it."

"It's lucky that I've managed to survive until now."

"Father...!"

Ten years ago, Zhang Yongkang was ordered to guard the Nether Abyss and fend off the Nether Spirit Race. He was unfortunately injured by them and has been recuperating since.

But Zhang Yongkang's Divine Soul has been polluted by the Nether Spirit Race, weakening day by day, and ordinary elixirs cannot restore it.

The elixirs that can treat such injuries are all held by Golden Core Realm Cultivators.

To acquire a Nether Spirit Pill is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"Sigh..."

Yang Ping'er blushed and said, "The Nether Spirit Race is half-human, half-ghost, skilled in Spirit Soul attacks, and the elixirs that heal Spirit Soul injuries are said to be refined by Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators using special methods to summon Innate Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Realm."

"A single Nether Spirit Pill is worth over a thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!"

"We... simply cannot afford it."

"Mother~"

Zhang Shaohai quickly consoled, "Please don't be discouraged. As long as my brothers and I work hard in our cultivation, one day we'll become Golden Core Cultivators, or even Nascent Soul Cultivators, and then finally heal father!"

"Sigh~"

"Shaohai's intentions are heartening; as a father, I can die without regrets..."

"Father...!"

Everyone was deeply saddened, but Zheng Yi was suddenly inspired.

What on earth?

Nether Abyss?

What is that?

Nether Spirit Race... what is it?

It seems like this world has many secrets.

To heal injuries from the Nether Spirit Race, do I need to use Innate Qi?

This thing... I have a lot of it!

A thought flashed, and the copper mirror reacted immediately.

"Huh..."

Holding the copper mirror, Yang Ping'er suddenly showed some expression and said, "Master Zheng, quick, look!"

"What? You found the Nether Spirit Pill?"

Zhang Yongkang hurried over, his expression suddenly turning strange.

"Not the Nether Spirit Pill, but... Innate Qi?"

[Innate Spiritual Qi (a wisp): A wisp of Innate Spiritual Qi, originating from the Innate era, has endless miraculous uses. Value, five hundred top-grade Spirit Stones.]

"Innate Spiritual Qi! There's Innate Spiritual Qi here!"

"A wisp!"

Zhang Yongkang said excitedly, "I've heard the Elder say, a wisp of Innate Qi is enough to refine ten jars of Nether Spirit Pills!"

"If this wisp of Innate Spiritual Qi can be exchanged, my Zhang Family will be thriving!"

Damn it!

Miscalculation!

Who knew this Innate Qi was so precious?

Inside the copper mirror, Zheng Yi cursed silently, wanting to give himself a slap.

But he soon steadied himself, his thoughts moved, and the copper mirror revealed another rule instantly.

"Huh?"

Yang Ping'er quickly noticed something, lowered her head to check:

[The Zhang Family at Weiyang Mountain serves as a Tier Two Clan, allowed to make two exchanges daily.]

[Current exchange count: 1/2.]

"Huh? Master Zheng, there's an exchange limit?"

"Tier Two Clan? Is it because of me, since a Foundation Establishment Clan can only exchange twice daily?"

Zhang Yongkang frowned, "It seems this item has quite a few limitations."

"Or perhaps... it urges our Zhang Family to grow quickly?"

"Shall we exchange for another Thunder Shock?"

"No, no rush..."

Yang Ping'er's expression suddenly turned tense, "Master Zheng! Look, look, it's a Foundation Establishment Pill! It's a Foundation Establishment Pill!!!"
