Chapter 613: Goodbye Qingnv

Pure Nine Gates Lotus Lamp

Inside the wooden hut, Chen Mobai slowly opened his eyes, feeling the more expansive pure yang spiritual power within his dantian and qi sea. He couldn't help but nod in satisfaction at his third-level Golden Core cultivation.

This time, he hadn't used any elixirs. He simply cultivated and meditated until his cultivation reached the necessary level, breaking through in one go.

Of course, despite this attempt, the Pure Yang Purple Qi and Blood Spirit Pills, which could aid in breaking through bottlenecks, were laid out on the ground beside his meditation cushion.

When breaking through a realm, Chen Mobai was always unsparing with resources, ensuring all possible conditions he could prepare were optimized.

However, since he had broken through naturally this time, he had saved these two precious spiritual items used for breakthroughs.

Chen Mobai wouldn't have minded using the Pure Yang Purple Qi. This was because breakthroughs in the Pure Yang Scroll inherently relied on it, a feature specifically added by Patriarch Yuanyang after his revisions. After all, Pure Yang cultivators needed to dedicate part of their time to Dharma Body cultivation. If they were stuck at a bottleneck during a realm breakthrough, it would be virtually impossible to successfully cultivate this Divine Transformation Great Art.

As for refining Pure Yang Purple Qi, cultivators only needed to harmonize and refine the nascent purple qi of the rising sun each morning. This process didn't take much time and wouldn't delay the cultivation of spiritual power or the Dharma Body. For this reason, Pure Yang Purple Qi could only unleash its full effect when used by the cultivator who refined it.

Even with such spiritual items aiding breakthroughs, those who could cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll to the Nascent Soul realm remained few and far between. However, Jin Wuxian still reminded Chen Mobai not to be complacent, as it had been eight years since his last breakthrough.

Most Pure Yang Scroll cultivators would save their Pure Yang Purple Qi, accumulating it until they had a complete 'strand' before using it. They wouldn't use it for major realm breakthroughs, but rather for critical bottlenecks from early to mid-stage, or mid-to-late stage cultivation.

This was a subtle point, so Jin Wuxian now advised him to solidify his foundation and not pursue realm advancement too quickly. With the aid of the Green Cicada Spiritual Tea from Huitian Valley, it would be foolproof.

Thus, the fact that he successfully broke through this time without needing the Pure Yang Purple Qi and Blood Spirit Pills greatly surprised him. This was because, theoretically, to refine a complete 'strand' of Pure Yang Purple Qi, one would need eighty years of uninterrupted effort at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Qing Nan said with a hint of regret on her face. As a member of the Sky Patching Group, she was ordinarily unable to leave the headquarters in Wangwu Grotto-Heaven.

He needed to find a way to see if he could speed things up. However, the Green Cicada Spiritual Tea was incomparably precious, and he was afraid that Da Nanshan wouldn't agree.

He submitted an application to the Kaiyuan Hall for a performance review and received official approval on the eighth day. But Jin Wuxian offered a condition that no alchemist could possibly refuse.

"Huh, this spiritual rice is completely different from what I've eaten before."

After receiving the letter, Chen Mobai was about to head straight for the teleportation array to Huitian Valley when Jin Wuxian called out to him.

All she needed to do was inject her Myriad Beings Mother Qi into the soil, and it could simulate the characteristics of all the world's soils, creating the most suitable spiritual soil for the spiritual plants sown within, allowing them to take root and sprout. This wasn't a panacea. Since the Earth Mother Art could only be cultivated to the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage at most, the simulated myriad spiritual soils of the world could only reach a maximum of Rank Three.

He didn't know if the Longevity Sect had it, but from now on, they would. No wonder the Pure Yang Scroll, as the Immortal Sect's cultivation technique with the highest barrier to Divine Transformation, had few cultivators.

"Hmm, there's something I need you to do—a trip to Huitian Valley. It's a personal matter for your master, so it wouldn't be good to trouble the sect. I'll have to trouble you."

The master and disciples hadn't gathered together in a long time. It was rare for Chen Mobai to return, so Lingli had prepared a lot of delicious food. The last time the two had met was in Danxia City.

Moreover, the elixir's effects could last for a year. Even if there were residual toxins, as long as Jin Wuxian could find a way to eliminate them within a year, there would be no problem. The current 'strand' he possessed was the result of the Shapeless Puppet's refinement over the seven years since his realm breakthrough, combined with what Yin Qingmei guided him to obtain from the Haotian Mirror over the past year. Jin Wuxian was 100% confident about this.

Chen Mobai was slightly surprised. Jin Wuxian rarely assigned tasks proactively; he had done so only a handful of times since Chen Mobai joined the Small Southern Mountain. "Yes, it's been nearly ten years, hasn't it?"

After breaking through, Jin Wuxian took out a low-grade spirit stone and began practicing the Pure Yang Scroll. "You're about to form your Golden Core!"

"This is Ming'er's latest research, a Rank Three spiritual rice. It's considered an upgraded version of Jade Bamboo spiritual rice." Jin Wuxian also dared not delve deeper into matters concerning the Ascension Sect, so he could only abruptly change the subject again.

Xue Ting carried wine, and Dan Yaoxuan sliced open the freshly steamed Pure Bamboo spiritual rice. A sweet fragrance of rice wafted out, making Jin Wuxian feel refreshed and delighted.

But Chen Mobai himself thought of a method: choosing spiritual soil with similar characteristics to what he wanted to simulate. For example, transforming a special Rank Three spiritual soil into one suitable for cultivating Green Cicada Spiritual Tea would undoubtedly be much easier than transforming Rank One spiritual soil. This eldest disciple was considered the most uniquely talented under his tutelage; otherwise, it would be nearly impossible for him to form a Golden Core. At that moment, Chen Mobai had already used the outdoor stove to cook more than a dozen dishes and called them over.

The master and disciple drank tea under the immortal peach tree. One asked questions, the other answered, and unknowingly, half a day passed.

Of course, if Da Nanshan genuinely wanted to exchange the tea tree for elixir recipes, according to the rules of the Celestial River Realm, only he (Jin Wuxian) would be permitted to refine and use them. What troubled Jin Wuxian the most was still the Pure Yang Scroll. Because those who dared to cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll were undoubtedly the top geniuses of the Immortal Sect.

Even with the aid of spirit stones, his cultivation remained so difficult. One could only imagine the torment of the Immortal Sect's Pure Yang Scroll cultivators, watching their progress as slow as a snail under this Dharma Body technique every day.

Kaiyuan Hall council members needed to return to Wangwu Grotto-Heaven for a performance review every ten years.

Jin Wuxian, as the foremost alchemist in the Eastern Barrens, knew that as long as Chen Mobai wished to form his Nascent Soul, he would absolutely not be able to resist this temptation. Thinking thus, Jin Wuxian exited his seclusion. Because among his elixir recipes, one was the Infant Nurturing Pill, one of the Immortal Sect's eight spiritual medicines for forming a Nascent Soul!

It had been exactly ten years since Jin Wuxian formed his Golden Core.

If it truly succeeded and yielded a large harvest, even Foundation Establishment cultivators within the sect would be able to taste it. If one couldn't even break through minor realms on their own, it would be better to switch to cultivating arts like the Heaven Burning Art sooner rather than later. However, with his master protecting him now, he had an extra ray of hope.

Chen Mobai took a tube from Dan Yaoxuan, tasted it, and felt his divine sense clear slightly, which surprised him. If Da Nanshan were willing to exchange the Rank Three tea tree, Jin Wuxian could let them choose three types from that elixir recipe catalog.

Moreover, she also discovered that if she added Tai Sui's sap or buried parts of its body during the transformation, she could save more than half the effort and time. That way, it could benefit the future of the sect. While consuming the elixir and dissolving the elixir's toxins, it wouldn't waste his diligently cultivated Lantern Art.

The two met in a private room. When Qing Nan entered, Jin Wuxian showed a rare, sincere smile on his face.

It could also be said to have about one-tenth the potency of a complete strand of Pure Yang Purple Qi. Even if it took a hundred or two hundred years, he couldn't consume a Golden Core (elixir). He needed to naturally elevate both his Water and Wood cultivation techniques to Foundation Establishment Perfection to have a chance of taking that crucial final step.

Previously, he had no excuse to explain its origin, so he hadn't asked Qing Nan to appraise it. It had remained in his storage bag, almost forgotten.

"How have you been recently?" It was precisely for this reason that Jin Wuxian had Chen Mobai make the trip.

"Junior Sister Zhuo is truly amazing." "It's said that Perfected Lord Yuanxu found a crucial piece of information, but I dare not actively inquire about such matters."

Lingli, however, was still somewhat dissatisfied. She had cultivated this Rank Three spiritual rice by transforming Rank Three spiritual soil to make it most suitable for the growth of Pure Bamboo. He knew that Lingli was already on the right track, and with her perfected Myriad Beings Mother Qi, she was even more formidable. Jin Wuxian was also very satisfied with Lingli's inherited will for farming. Now it was lying at Jin Wuxian's feet, squirming its noticeably thinner body with a bit of grievance.

It was Han Tingfeng's "Yan Shao Concealed Sun Elixir" from back then. Consuming this Golden Core (elixir) could greatly increase a cultivator's efficiency in refining fire spiritual energy within a year. Furthermore, if one were to artificially create Rank Three spiritual soil, it would be too exhausting for Lingli, who was only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Thinking thus, Jin Wuxian took out a Golden Core (elixir) from his storage bag. Chen Mobai tasted Rank Three spiritual rice for the first time in his life, and he sincerely exclaimed in admiration for Lingli's skill. "Long time no see!"

A day later, Chen Mobai, who was managing the operations of the Small Southern Mountain shop outside, rushed back. "Greetings, Master!"

Of course, the title of the elixir recipe catalog Jin Wuxian had given was "Longevity Elixir Scripture."

Given that his spirit root, spirit body, and spiritual meridian conditions were all optimized, it still took him this long to break through, which showed how difficult the Pure Yang Scroll cultivation was.

"It's just a pity that this Pure Bamboo spiritual rice cannot be widely promoted." After putting on the facade of the Longevity Sect, Chen Mobai was convinced without a doubt. Jin Wuxian patted the Tai Sui next to his foot and said, and the latter immediately trembled and burrowed underground.

If the eldest disciple truly wished to form a Golden Core, his mental state would also be very important. To ensure authenticity, Chen Mobai also included the Golden Fluid Jade Reversion Elixir on the list.

After one circulation of the Heavenly Cycle, he found that the speed had actually sped up by one-seventh. In that case, in about half a year, his Pure Yang Body would be able to further increase his Fire Spirit Root by 3 points.

However, Jin Wuxian knew his own talent well. So, when breaking through, he would take out all available resources and immediately consume them if there were any signs of failure, never being stingy.

"Please instruct, Master. It is my honor to serve you." Jin Wuxian also took this opportunity to meet with Qing Nan and ask her to help appraise the Yan Shao Concealed Sun Elixir in his hand.

The last time Jin Wuxian broke through to the second level of the Golden Core, he had used a strand of Pure Yang Purple Qi that he had refined himself. After leaving Da Nanshan, Jin Wuxian returned to the Immortal Sect.
