Chapter 29: Insufficient Points

An excellent book...

"Spirit stones can also shorten the cultivation time for the 'Pure Yang Dharmakaya'?"Chen Mobai's eyes widened in disbelief.

"'The Pure Yang Dharmakaya' is essentially a cultivation method, and no cultivation method can be practiced without spiritual energy. The reason it took me twenty years to achieve the Three Yang Body was because of the time spent refining spiritual energy during the transformation of my spiritual roots. With the help of spirit stones, I could have saved at least ten years of arduous effort."

Old Man Ding did not hold back, sharing the insights he had gained from twenty years of study at the academy with Chen Mobai.It turned out that cultivating the Pure Yang Dharmakaya also required spiritual energy to transform the spiritual roots. Without spirit stones, once one's own spiritual power was exhausted, they would have to simultaneously convert and absorb spiritual energy, leading to half the results with twice the effort.

"Why didn't True Monarch Shaoyang's video mention this?"After hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn't help but wonder, but he quickly realized the reason.Spirit stones on Earthstar had basically been nationalized, and ordinary cultivators simply didn't possess them.Since they didn't have them, there was naturally no need to mention them.

In that case, cultivating the "Pure Yang Scroll" was not impossible for Chen Mobai.While there were indeed no channels in the Immortal Sect to acquire large quantities of spirit stones, the Heavenly River Realm was different.According to the accounts of Green Wave Lake that Chen Mobai had read, the cultivation world there didn't seem to lack spirit stones; even a third-rate sect like the Flying Needle Sect could distribute spirit stones to each disciple as a benefit.

However, to obtain spirit stones, he would have to leave the Water Mansion and engage with the true cultivation world of the Heavenly River Realm.As Chen Mobai considered this, he felt a flicker of hesitation.He recalled the two Heavenly River Realm cultivators who had recently died in the Water Mansion; their ruthlessness and backstabbing seemed commonplace, and their words spoke of the chaos and disorder of the Eastern Wilds.The Heavenly River Realm appeared to be in a barbaric era of cultivation, akin to a feudal civilization, where danger might lurk everywhere."I hope I won't get killed the moment I step out of the Water Mansion," he thought to himself.

Chen Mobai muttered to himself, then asked how many spirit stones were needed to cultivate the "Pure Yang Dharmakaya."

"I'm not sure about that. Back then, I only heard about it from an elder student; I never experienced it myself. It might require searching through ancient texts to confirm."Old Man Ding frowned and shook his head.Approximately five thousand years ago, spirit stones were still commonly traded in the market. During that era, there were cultivators who used spirit stones to practice the Pure Yang Dharmakaya. However, finding information from such a distant past might take some effort.

Chen Mobai nodded, deciding to look into it himself. If not many spirit stones were required, he would consider switching to cultivating the "Pure Yang Scroll" after reaching the late Qi Refining stage.

*Knock! Knock! Knock!*Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

"Come in."As Old Man Ding's voice faded, his disciple Song Zheng opened the door.

"Teacher."Song Zheng first bowed respectfully to Old Man Ding at the doorway, then looked at Chen Mobai, his brows slightly furrowed, seemingly wondering why he was there.

"Teacher Ding, I'll come back another time to ask you about thunder spell restrictions."Chen Mobai was perceptive enough not to linger and disturb the conversation between master and disciple.

Although they were classmates, his relationship with Song Zheng was merely cordial, primarily because Song Zheng was a devoted cultivator who rarely wasted time on socializing.

The two exchanged nods as a greeting.

After leaving the office, since the first batch of high school seniors hadn't yet emerged from the cultivation room, Chen Mobai returned to his classroom. He opened his phone, typed in keywords, and searched for information regarding the relationship between the Pure Yang Dharmakaya and spirit stones.

He eventually found a relevant post on a forum.The post's title was: "How long does it take to cultivate the Pure Yang Dharmakaya?"It seemed to be a new student of the Pure Yang Academy seeking advice from senior students.

The thread had over fifty replies, and one of them, apparently from a Pure Yang Academy student from a well-off family, mentioned that using spirit stones could shorten the cultivation time for the Pure Yang Dharmakaya."My ancestors participated in the Founding War, and some spirit stones were passed down and stored in the bank. After I was admitted to the Pure Yang Academy, my family was thrilled and withdrew them all for my cultivation. Based on my experience, I have some data, for reference only."

"For the One Yang Body, if you want the best spiritual root transformation effect, you need 9 spirit stones. These 9 spirit stones should be used one by one in sequence, corresponding to the spiritual root transformation. This way, the effect is best, and you can generally increase your fire spiritual root by 9 points. This stage takes one month.""The Two Yang Body requires many more spirit stones. Since my family didn't have enough, I had to refine spiritual energy myself for part of this stage. It ultimately took one year and three months.""For the Three Yang Body, as I had no spirit stones, I achieved it purely through arduous cultivation, reaching completion after six years of solitary meditation."

This anonymous cultivator, during the process of cultivating the Three Yang Body, took five years less than True Monarch Ming Yang, who was known for achieving the Pure Yang Dharmakaya in the shortest time without using spirit stones.

Chen Mobai was instantly tempted."First, I'll check outside the Water Mansion. If I can acquire spirit stones, I'll try cultivating it."Chen Mobai, who had originally intended to stay put, couldn't resist the thought.After all, with only two months left until the college entrance exam, his hopes of breaking through to the late Qi Refining stage were slim. If he could achieve the One Yang Body, he might just receive an admission notice from the Pure Yang Academy.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but log into his main account at the National Library, only to find a prompt indicating insufficient points to redeem the Qi Refining chapter of the "Pure Yang Scroll."

"Huh, why does a Qi Refining cultivation method require so many points?"In Chen Mobai's memory, the Qi Refining chapter of the Five Elements Cultivation Method only cost 500 points. His main account had over 3000 points, which should have been more than enough to redeem the Pure Yang Qi Refining chapter.Upon checking, he discovered it required 10,000 points.He then looked at the subsequent four chapters, and gasped.The Foundation Establishment chapter cost 100,000 points, the Core Formation chapter 1,000,000 points, the Nascent Soul chapter 10,000,000 points, and the Divinity Transformation chapter was a staggering 100,000,000 points. Moreover, all required permission at the corresponding cultivation realm to download.For instance, Chen Mobai's main account at the National Library, "Azure Emperor," which was authenticated as a Qi Refining realm cultivator, could only download the Qi Refining chapter of the "Pure Yang Scroll," even if the account had 100,000,000 points.

"I'll sell that spirit stone first. Coincidentally, Ju Mang Daoist Academy puts Spirit Replenishing Water up for sale every day during this period. I'll use these good deeds to snatch them up. Then, I'll use the Spirit Water to increase my cultivation while simultaneously using the points gained from purchases to redeem the Pure Yang Qi Refining chapter."While Chen Mobai was typically not very proactive, he was always decisive when it came to his own cultivation.A spirit stone held in hand was just firewood; used, it became a treasure.He decided that, with the primary goal of breaking through to the late Qi Refining stage, he would also endeavor to cultivate the Pure Yang Dharmakaya if possible.Of the two spirit stones he had obtained from the Water Mansion, one was consumed when he broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining. The remaining intact, unopened one could be exchanged for 10,000 good deeds at the National Bank.If sold on the market, due to supply not meeting demand, it could fetch at least an extra one or two thousand good deeds.
