Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

104: Mysterious Black Sword, Foundation Establishment Major Cultivation!Chen Changsheng took out the seventy thousand Spirit Crystals he had accumulated and handed them all to Chen Chuanwu.

”Buy Chuanjie a magic sword he likes, and also get some protective items for yourself and Chuanwen!”

Chen Changsheng knew well that having enough Spirit Crystals for cultivation was sufficient; keeping too many without using them would only invite greed, so it was better to convert them into things that improved their own strength.

Only with great strength could they ensure the safety of the Chen Family!

”Father, so many? You want me to spend it all?”

Chen Chuanwu looked at the bundle stuffed full of Spirit Crystals and couldn’t help but gasp. Chen Changsheng explained the principle of prioritizing strength to Chuanwu, and Chuanwu came to understand.

Afterward, Chuanwu returned to his room, gave the fetus-protecting pill to Juaner, and then took Chuanjie, who was still studying the Sword Manual, toward the Prefecture City on horseback.

”Big brother, what is the Prefecture City really like? Are there many Immortals, and are cultivation treasures everywhere?”

Chuanjie rode his swift horse, asking Chuanwu excitedly as they traveled.

Chuanwu laughed. Seeing Chuanjie’s expression, he couldn’t help but recall when he first entered the Prefecture City, so he intentionally kept him in suspense, saying:

”Haha, you’ll know when you get there!”

A few hours later, the two of them arrived at the gates of the Prefecture City on horseback!

Chen Chuanwu skillfully led Chuanjie into the Prefecture City. Chuanjie was immediately shocked by its prosperity. Chuanwu smiled and said to him:

”Carved beams and painted rafters, fine food and beautiful women—these are all Mortal desires. Since you and I have stepped onto the Immortal Path, we must understand that the Dao is simple, and only the Immortal Road is most important. All external things are but illusions!”

Chuanjie was a perceptive person. Hearing his elder brother’s words, he understood that he was being told not to become obsessed with this place of wealth. He withdrew his gaze and nodded heavily!

”Come, I’ll take you to the Immortal Market to pick out that magic sword you’ve always wanted!”

Seeing Chuanjie so obedient, Chuanwu felt gratified and gave him something to look forward to!

Hearing this, Chuanjie’s eyes shone with excitement. He had been longing for this magic sword for three whole years, and now his dream was finally about to come true!

The two passed through the Prefecture City and arrived at the simple Xianju Alley.

”This alleyway is the entrance. It has its own formation; Mortals without cultivation cannot enter at all. Follow me!”

Chuanwu introduced it to Chuanjie, then led him through the alleyway into the Immortal Market.

”It really is miraculous. From the outside, it looks like just a small alley, but who would have thought there’s a whole other world inside with such a large space!”

Chuanjie looked at the surrounding wooden houses and lofts, exclaiming in admiration.

”Do you want to go to the Spirit Artifact Pavilion to choose, or check out the stalls?”

”The Spirit Artifact Pavilion is run by an Immortal Clan, so the quality is guaranteed. The stalls are cheaper, but the quality is uneven; however, they have a vast variety and the most complete selection of items!”

Chuanjie still wanted to save Spirit Crystals for the Family. Knowing he consumed the most resources, he wanted to be frugal and said with a smile:

”Big brother, let’s go to the stalls first to broaden our horizons. Maybe we can find a bargain and find something good!”

Chen Chuanwu laughed, inwardly sighing that Chuanjie was still young. These stall owners were all old foxes; how could they let two novices like them find a bargain?

However, he had doted on his third brother since childhood and didn’t want to dampen his spirits, so he smilingly led him toward the square where the stalls were located.

Chuanwu and Chuanjie were at the Qi Refining Second Layer and the Third Layer of Qi Refining, respectively. Although their cultivation wasn’t high, it matched the state of most Cultivators, so they didn’t stand out like complete newcomers to the cultivation world.

Along the way, they saw many stalls selling Medicinal Pills, damaged Magical Artifacts, various spiritual plants, and even Yao Beast cubs.

They were dazzled by the variety and asked for prices many times. However, both were used to being frugal and always felt the stall owners’ prices were a bit high. After walking the whole way, they hadn’t bought anything!

”Eh? What a strange feeling!”

Chen Chuanjie stopped at a stall, his gaze drawn to a black sheathed longsword.

The sword was pitch black and covered in rust, looking as if it had just been dug out of the ground. However, Chen Chuanjie felt an unusual sensation coming from it.

It seemed as if this sword naturally belonged to him and was waiting for him to draw it!

”Boss, how much for that Black Longsword?”

Chen Chuanjie’s gaze swept over the longsword as he asked the stall owner.

The stall owner was a thin old man. Seeing someone inquire about a piece of junk that had been sitting there for a long time, he quickly smiled and said:

”Ten thousand Spirit Crystals. This sword was recovered from the tomb of a Golden Core Cultivator. Selling it to you for just ten thousand Spirit Crystals is a huge bargain!”

The owner grinned and chuckled. Chuanjie naturally wouldn’t listen to the owner’s boasting, but that black sword seemed to possess a kind of magic that made him reluctant to give it up!

”Big brother, I want to buy it!”

Ultimately, Chuanjie decided to follow his heart and said to Chuanwu behind him through clenched teeth.

”Are you sure you want to buy this broken sword?”

Chuanwu frowned. Looking at the rust-covered black sword, he couldn’t help but rub his head, wondering if Chuanjie had a fever!

This thing, let alone ten thousand Spirit Crystals, he wouldn’t even want it for free because it took up space!

”Brother, I’m sure this is the one! It gives me a feeling that I’ll regret it if I miss out on it!”

Chuanjie’s expression was exceptionally serious, his tone even carrying a hint of pleading. Chuanwu had always doted on his younger brother, and seeing Chuanjie like this, he eventually softened!

It was only ten thousand Spirit Crystals anyway. He’d buy this piece of junk for Chuanjie and then go to the Spirit Artifact Pavilion to buy a real magic sword.

”Fine, if you like it, then buy it. Our Family doesn’t lack these ten thousand Spirit Crystals now!”

Chuanwu gritted his teeth and, making up his mind, took ten thousand Spirit Crystals from the bundle and handed them to the stall owner!

The stall owner joyfully handed the Black Longsword to Chen Chuanjie and quickly stashed the Spirit Crystals, inwardly calling the brothers fools.

As the longsword touched his hand, Chuanjie became even more convinced his feeling was right. He felt a sense of perfect harmony, as if he could hear the sword’s heart!

It had been silent for too long and was desperate for Chuanjie to draw it and restore its former brilliance!

Just as Chuanjie was about to draw the longsword, a woman’s voice suddenly came from behind him!

”Wait! Stall owner, I’ll buy this Black Longsword!”

Hearing the voice, Chuanjie turned to look. He saw a girl of seventeen or eighteen staring at the Black Longsword, her face full of excitement.

Behind her stood a tall, cold-looking young woman. She narrowed her phoenix eyes, and between her brows, there seemed to be a suppressed sharpness; it felt as if the moment she opened her eyes, she would tear the heavens and split the earth!

”I have already paid for this sword!”

Chen Chuanjie frowned and said to the girl in front of him.

”Alright then, how much did you spend? I’ll buy it from you for double the price, how about it?”

The girl’s eyes darted around as she blocked Chuanjie’s path, looking determined to get it today.

”Sorry, it’s not for sale at any price. Big brother, let’s go!”

Chen Chuanjie’s expression turned cold. He spoke to his elder brother, ignored the girl, and prepared to turn and leave!

The girl’s expression immediately changed as if she had suffered a great grievance. She turned to the young woman behind her and said with her head lowered:

”Master, I want that sword!”

”Alright!”

The young woman responded softly, then took a step forward. Suddenly, a terrifying pressure swept across the square. Chuanjie and Chuanwu were instantly unable to move, and the stall owner cried out in alarm:

”A... Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator!!!”
