Chapter 2260 Past Instances Of The Null Iron Ore
Hearing Lady Kang's words, the group became curious what they might be.
"What are they?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked first.
"The first instance of an item like that being found inside a Null Iron ore dates back at least three hundred thousand years ago." Lady Kang replied, making the groups surprised that a record that old was actually present within the Kang Clan's register. "It was obtained by the Immortal court originally, but was stolen by a group of rogue cultivators and eventually came in the owners.h.i.+p of the Kang Clan." She revealed.
Crown Prince Feng Shun and his companions couldn't help but frown, as this was an incidence of the Immortal Court's property being stolen. Though they didn't know whether it was something that could even be pursued after all this time or was taken care of before.
"The Dao Treasure that was inside the Null Iron Ore was a Saber Dao Essence Crystal." Lady Kang revealed.
"A Saber Dao Essence Crystal?" Daoist Chu and the others were surprised. "That's an unexpected one I'd expect an elemental one being inside it but a Weapon Dao Essence crystal?" he expressed his doubts.
"There aren't details as to how that happened, since it just states how it was obtained and what was inside it." Lady Kang replied.
"What was inside the second Null Iron ore?" Daoist Chu inquired next.
"The Second Null Iron ore chunk was obtained by the exploration team of the Kang Clan during an expedition. There were several chunks of the Null Iron Ore but only one of them contained a treasure." Lady Kang answered. "What was inside it was a Shard of Pure Spatial Energy that had been condensed over time." She finally revealed.
Hearing this, Lin Mu raised his brows as he knew just how strong Spatial Energy could be. Even he was unable to use it now and the streaks of Spatial Energy inside the ring just moved around.
The Spatial Energy was after all, above Spatial Qi. It was the pure essence of s.p.a.ce and was something that would also contain Spatial Dao Traces inside it.
"What happened to it?" Lin Mu asked this time.
"It was kept by the Kang clan and utilized by them to set up a Ma.s.s teleportation Array network." Lady Kang answered, feeling a bit surprised herself. "It was the main teleportation array that links the Kang Clan to the worlds around it." Even she didn't know this history of the Kang Clan.
"I remember that." Elder Hu suddenly spoke, making Lady Kang and Min Ju look at him. "It was set up during your grandfather's time." He revealed.
"My Grandfathers?" Lady Kang hadn't expected it to be during that time period. "Thirty thousand years ago" she knew that was the time when her grandfather was still alive.
It was long before she had been born and as such, it was normal for her to not know.
But this part of the information intrigued Lin Mu.
'If Elder Hu knows it from back then doesn't this mean he's over thirty thousand years old too?' Lin Mu was a bit surprised since it would be hard for an Immortal to be alive that long considering Elder Hu's cultivation base. "Wait, how's that possible?" Crown Prince Feng Shun suddenly asked. "With your cultivation base, you should have a maximum of Twelve thousand years of lifespan." It was clear that Lin Mu wasn't the only one having the doubts.
Elder Hu's cultivation base was at the Fifth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm which granted him a c.u.mulative longevity of twelve thousand years. Six thousand years came from the Spirit realm's cultivation while another six thousand came form his cultivation unto the Fifth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm. This was less than half the amount of longevity one would need to live for the time Elder Hu had so far.
The only way Lin Mu could think one would be able to live long is if they also did Qi and Body dual cultivation. But he was sure Elder Hu did not have body cultivation. 'A longevity increasing fruit perhaps?' Lin Mu thought of another option. The Violet Mystic Life Tree's fruits could increase one's longevity by a thousand years, but even with that, Elder Hu wouldn't have the needed lifespan. Plus, even if someone had multiple of them like Lin Mu, one couldn't just keep on consuming them.
The fruit would only be effective once. And if one wanted more longevity, they would have to find other such Immortal Fruits.
"The Kang clan's background is deep." Elder Hu responded after seeing Lady Kang's approval. "We do not have a lack of techniques that can increase one's longevity as well as treasures that cane do the same." He stated.
This made the others realized that it was simply a matter of money and reach.
"I see" Crown Prince Feng Shun didn't pry further.
But Lady Kang seemed to have thought of something.
"The Kang Clan has over twenty two different Longevity increasing Immortal Fruits and Nine Immortal Pills." Lady Kang quickly switched to her merchant persona. "If any of you wish, they are available for sale. The best Immortal fruit among them can increase one's longevity by two thousand years and the pill by three thousand years." She revealed.
Hearing that, everyone was stunned.
"Two thousand years? That's higher than a fruit of the Violet Mystic Life Tree." Lin Mu couldn't help but say. "What kind of fruit is it?" "It is the fruit of a Great Spring Immortal Peach Tree." Lady Kang answered. "It is one of the greatest resources that our clan owns." She added.
Hearing that though, Lin Mu was reminded of a certain person. "The Ever Spring Mistress" Lin Mu muttered.
It was a name that even Crown Prince Feng Shun recognized as it was the very celestial that had created an alliance with the Dao Wind Empire and was also the master of his niece!
"You know of the Celestial?" Lady Kang was the one shocked now. "Our ancestors were granted a single sapling by her envoy long ago." She revealed.
