To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 667: Chapter 302: Spiritual Object Reserve

Nowadays, the Celestial spirit qi of Heaven and Earth is facing depletion year after year, and various Divine Blood Variants are also constantly degenerating and dying.

Not only are the cultivators becoming rarer, but even the Innate Fighters are decreasing year by year.

Therefore, in the face of the Divine Blood Spirit Medicine that is diminishing with every bit used, the various major sects and even the great countries in the Jianghu are all adopting extreme inheritance cultivation methods.

For example, when an Inborn Grandmaster is nearing the end of their life, they would select a suitable young successor within the sect and train them to be a new Inborn Grandmaster.

In this way, they could make the most of the lifespan of each Inborn Grandmaster, allowing them to exert even greater value.

According to the normal process, an Inborn Grandmaster would usually select a suitable successor and train them in the last 20 years of their life.

Lu Yuan could train Sun Siwen to become an Innate Fighter in just ten years.

In 20 years’ time, those Inborn Grandmasters would have enough time to select a satisfactory successor, preserving their legacy.

But the problem is, Jihui, who is currently 101 years old, is still 30 years away from the age required to train a successor.

This means that there isn’t actually a suitable successor in White Phoenix Temple at present.

Moreover, finding a new suitable successor hurriedly isn’t easy either.

Especially when they have just suffered such a disaster and lost so many of their young disciples, it’s even more difficult to select a qualified successor.

And indeed, that’s the case.

After knowing that he doesn’t have much life left, Jihui had already asked the monks in the temple to select a successor.

However, unprepared and in a rush, there was no suitable candidate to be found in White Phoenix Temple.

This Innate Great Sect now faces the same risk of legacy interruption as the Nanhai Country during this critical moment.

After Jihui’s demise, it’s possible that White Phoenix Temple may not be able to cultivate a new Inborn Grandmaster for a long duration, or maybe not ever again.

Facing such a dilemma and this existential crisis concerning the sect’s legacy, Jihui would simply not be able to stand idly by.

So, while he’s still alive and while there’s still an Inborn Grandmaster left in the temple, he must find a way to ensure the future of the White Phoenix Temple.

He wants to guarantee that after his passing, White Phoenix Temple’s legacy can be preserved and not be easily eliminated by those coveting their treasures.

After all, as an Innate Great Sect, there are numerous precious items within White Phoenix Temple.

Especially those Divine Blood Variants that can help people break through Innate, they are enough to attract countless greedy eyes.

With an Inborn Grandmaster in White Phoenix Temple, they have the strength to defend themselves even with a large number of Divine Blood Variants.

But, if they lose their Inborn Grandmaster, White Phoenix Temple would become like the current Nanhai Country—possessing great treasures but powerless to protect them. They would become the target of every major power in their vicinity, all wanting a piece of the pie.

Jihui certainly didn’t want to see White Phoenix Temple end up being devoured by a pack of wolves.

Therefore, before that happens, he has to send away their treasures that he no longer has enough strength to defend, and exchange them for favors, giving White Phoenix Temple better benefits in the process.

So, when faced with Lu Yuan’s probing gaze, Jihui said solemnly, “Your Majesty, although our temple has suffered a great disaster with many treasures and spirit seeds gone, I had anticipated the crisis and had them moved beforehand. As a result, there is still some foundation left in the temple.”

At present, inside the White Phoenix Temple resides 31 Divine Blood Variants, 871 elixirs stored from previous generations, and 109 Different Species Sheds.

These accumulations are the result of a thousand years of our White Phoenix Temple’s efforts.

I am willing to dedicate 80% of these spiritual objects to your majesty in hopes that you will protect our temple, so that the legacy of White Phoenix Temple can be passed on without worries and free from external tribulations.”

Yes, the path and method chosen by Jihui was to offer all excess treasures to the King of Chu that White Phoenix Temple couldn’t digest.

Afterward, by using the favors obtained from these treasures, he asked Chu State to protect White Phoenix Temple.

Not only would this resolve the source of chaos brought by the disaster, but it would also secure a long-lasting support for White Phoenix Temple.

However, by doing so, White Phoenix Temple, which had lost more than 80% of its foundation, might face great difficulty in cultivating another Inborn Grandmaster in the future.

According to the experience accumulated by White Phoenix Temple over a thousand years, training a top-notch expert to become an Inborn Grandmaster requires about 500 Divine Blood Elixirs. Only then can their Inner Strength, body, and soul undergo metamorphosis.

After giving away 80% of their foundation, White Phoenix Temple would have only about 180 elixirs and 6 or 7 Divine Blood Variants left.

With these assets, accumulating the 500 Divine Blood Elixirs needed is next to impossible.

On the other hand, ensuring that the temple has several top-notch masters throughout the generations to maintain the status of a top-ranked sect is not a problem.

Nevertheless, the loss of benefit and the psychological gap that comes with falling from an Inborn Grandmaster to a top-ranked sect are enough to make people uncomfortable.

But what is there that Jihui can do?

No other choice remains.

White Phoenix Temple now simply doesn’t have the 20 years required for him to slowly select a qualified successor and then train them to be an Inborn Grandmaster gradually.

Moreover, without an Inborn Grandmaster, even if they have some connections with Chu State, they might not be able to deter other ambitious individuals from trying to snatch their treasures single-handedly.

In the face of wealth that could potentially cultivate one, even two, Inborn Grandmasters, even great countries like Zhou, Liang, and Ning might find it difficult to resist.

Moreover, when facing a weakened White Phoenix Temple, they would hardly need to invest much effort, as just one or two Inborn Grandmasters would be enough to eliminate the sect.
