Peerless War God

"Yes, I told you to work hard on your cultivation, but you just want to play around. If you had known, you wouldn't have done what you did. If you had worked harder on your cultivation, you wouldn't have lost your own immortal residence."    

"Father, I know I was wrong."    

The young cultivator replied. His mood was extremely low, and he also felt deep guilt and regret.    

Looking at the young man's appearance, Zhao Cheng also felt uncomfortable. He couldn't bear to say anything more, so he just sighed and said, "Forget it. At this point, it's not your fault alone. It's my fault as well. Go ahead. Go and clean up."    

The young man hesitated for a while and then nodded. He said, "I see."    

After he left, Zhao Cheng looked at Chen Xiao and said, "I have embarrassed myself in front of Elder Chen."    

From beginning to end, Chen Xiao was expressionless and did not express anything. He was very calm, which surprised Zhao Cheng.    

The other party seemed to be even younger than him, yet he was actually so calm. It was truly rare for him to be so calm. He was indeed a figure. At that moment, he did not dare to be negligent.    

"This is the Transference Spiritual Pond. Elder Chen, please take a look." Zhao Cheng said.    

"Yes."    

Chen Xiao went forward to take a look. This Spirit Conversion Pool was much smaller than he had imagined. It was only about thirty meters in radius, not very big, and there were all kinds of array runes everywhere. Some of them were so profound that even Chen Xiao could not recognize them.    

Then he noticed that the great circle around the pool had sockets, and asked: "What is this socket for?"    

Zhao Cheng smiled and said: "Elder Chen Xiao, there is something that you do not know. The operation of the Spirit Conversion Pool requires a large amount of immortal jade to provide an endless stream of spiritual energy and convert the mana in the body. There are a total of ten sockets like this."    

"Oh, I see. Then what will happen if I don't use the immortal jade?" Chen Xiao frowned and asked.    

Before this, he thought that the operation of the Spirit Converting Pool was natural, but he didn't expect that it would consume even more immortal jade.    

In that case, it didn't seem to be as cost-effective as he had imagined.    

However, he didn't know until he tried it.    

"This... If I don't use the Immortal Jade, the effect will be greatly reduced," Zhao Cheng replied with a bitter smile.    

Of course, the decline of the entire Zhao family was due to the fact that Zhao Zhe was getting old and was about to die. Without the support of the family, the former prosperity was hard to sustain.    

At the same time, it was also because the Spirit Conversion Pool was like a gold-sucking pool. To maintain it, a large amount of immortal jade was needed, and it was difficult to sustain it.    

He had no choice but to sell the immortal estate.    

Otherwise, Zhao Cheng wouldn't have been so willing to part with it.    

"Is that so? Then I'll give it a try."    

As Chen Xiao spoke, he took out a piece of immortal jade and inserted it into the sockets. After a breath's time, the array runes flashed and completely absorbed the energy within the immortal jade, leaving only ashes.    

Such a fast absorption rate shocked even Chen Xiao.    

After absorbing the Immortal Jade's energy, the water in the Spirit Conversion Pool seemed to have a bit more luster.    

With a flash, Chen Xiao fell into the Spirit Swirling Pool. Feeling it carefully, he felt as if he was in a whirlpool. As the spiritual energy rotated, it kept washing and refining the spiritual energy in his body. It was like an invisible hand was helping the circulation of the spiritual energy in his body, and it was getting faster and faster. It was very strange.    

But the feeling lasted only a moment before it slowed.    

The reason was very simple. The energy of the celestial jade had been used up.    

But even so, Chen Xiao was still very surprised, because the consumption was too fast. In the blink of an eye, a piece of immortal jade was gone. This was not a Spirit Conversion Pool, but a money-burning pool.    

Thinking of this, he flew out of the Spirit Conversion Pool in a flash. By the time he landed, his body was already dry.    

Seeing this, Zhao Cheng quickly went forward and nervously asked: "Elder Chen, what do you think?"    

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "It's not bad. It's just as I expected. It's just that it consumes too much immortal jade. I'm afraid ordinary people can't afford it at all."    

Of course, immortal jade was nothing to the current Chen Xiao. What he lacked the most was immortal jade.    

However, he still had to say it so that he could fool Zhao Cheng.    

As expected, Zhao Cheng felt a little awkward after hearing those words. He said, "Yes, it's like this. To maintain the operation of the Spiritual Rotation Pool, we need an endless supply of immortal jades. Otherwise, sigh..."    

Although he did not say the rest of the words, Chen Xiao could roughly guess some of it.    

With the current state of the Zhao Family, it was not a problem for them to rely on the Spirit Converting Pool to raise the cultivation of one or two core disciples by converting them into Immortal Jade.    

However, that was the problem. Along the way, he had seen hundreds or even thousands of disciples of the Zhao Clan. It was hard to say who would be the lucky one. It was a big problem.    

No matter what he did, there would always be people who were dissatisfied. In the end, he had to compromise. No matter what he did, no one could get the best benefit.    

That was a balance in their hearts, but their fighting capability had dropped.    

It had to be said that this was the biggest drawback of a large family's power. Fortunately, for Chen Xiao, this problem did not exist, and the effects of the Spirit Conversion Pool were just right for him.    

"It's decided then. Let's go." Chen Xiao suddenly said.    

Zhao Cheng's face lit up as he hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes. Elder Chen, please go first."    

"Yes."    

After a while, the two of them left the Immortal Mansion and arrived in front of Qin Daoyuan and Zhao Zhe.    

Qin Daoyuan directly asked, "Chen Xiao, how is it?"    

Chen Xiao nodded at him and then glanced at Zhao Zhe. He said, "I'll go and take a look. No problem. Shall we make a deal and transfer the estate?"    

"Sure, but you have to wait for the manager to come before you can go through the formalities." Zhao Zhe heaved a sigh of relief, relieved that one of his worries had been resolved.    

"Management manager? What is that?" Chen Xiao asked with a puzzled expression.    

Qin Daoyuan smiled faintly and began to explain: "The so-called manager is the person in charge of managing the transactions of the Immortal Mansion. Only with their recognition will this Immortal Mansion truly belong to you, and of course the price is that you have to pay a considerable amount of management fees every hundred years."    

"That works?" Chen Xiao's face darkened as he laughed bitterly.    

It seemed that the cost of buying such an immortal abode was much higher than he had imagined. Some could be seen, while some could not be seen.    

It was no wonder that Zhao Zhe was willing to sell the immortal residence. He had obviously lost a big burden and felt relaxed.    

However, after thinking about it for a while, the Immortal Mansion was naturally an existence that had more advantages than disadvantages for Chen Xiao.    

"Yes, you have to hand over a large amount of management fees every hundred years." Zhao Zhe also agreed with him with a forced smile.    

"He's here." At this moment, Qin Daoyuan called out.    

Not far away, a streak of golden light flew over and quickly landed in front of the group. The newcomer was a rich-looking middle-aged cultivator wearing an embroidered robe. He was at the early stages of the Tribulation Transcender Realm, and he held a golden calculator in his hand.
