Chapter 703: Five Elements Spirit Fruit, Primordial Method

“These five-element spirit flowers, when they mature, will merge with each other and eventually form five spirit fruits. So, Junior Brother Chen, don't be fooled by the whole tree being covered in spirit flowers, as in reality, only five will eventually bear fruit.”

After Chen Mobai heard Zhou Ye's words, he showed a look of regret.

However, in his heart, he was thinking: if he used the Myriad Transformation Thunderwater, could he prematurely urge these five-element spirit flowers to become five-element spirit fruits?

He noted this matter in his mind, thinking that if he obtained Myriad Transformation Thunderwater again in the future, he would prioritize these five-element spirit flowers. “Senior Brother Zhou, what grade is this five-element spirit tree?”

Chen Mobai also thought that he could only obtain Grade Four Myriad Transformation Thunderwater by queuing; if this five-element spirit tree was Grade Five, then he would be completely helpless.

“It's currently Grade Four. According to Master, it was Grade Five a long time ago, but it was used by True Monarch Yiyuan to cultivate the Primordial Dao Fruit, absorbing too much five-element essence, and subsequently declined in grade.”

Zhou Ye told Chen Mobai this very secret matter. When Primordial Ancestor taught Zhou Ye, he had complained about this.

If the five-element spirit tree were still Grade Five, Primordial Ancestor could have used the Grade Five five-element spirit fruits, or the Grade Five spirit veins within this secret realm, to further advance his cultivation.

At that time, Ning Ying had not yet finished observing the five-element spirit fruits under the tree, and spoke his thoughts to Wang Chengce.

That Wangcheng Pill was one of the few spirit medicines in the Tianhe Realm that aided in forming a Nascent Soul; it could help condense the Nascent Soul, with effects similar to the Soul Nourishing Pill from the Immortal Sect.

“If a cultivator condenses the first wisp of Primordial True Qi through their own strenuous effort, even with outstanding talent, it would take more than ten years, and that would require cultivating all seven elements simultaneously. As for someone like you, who plans to cultivate the seven elements in a symbiotic cycle, reaching initial mastery with each seven-element spirit fruit separately, and then in one go achieving initial mastery of Primordial True Qi, this would take a century or even several centuries.”

“The question Junior Brother raised a few days ago, I've thought about it for a long time these past few days. It reminded me of when Master taught me to cultivate the Hunzhou technique, and I think it might be helpful for you, Junior Brother.”

“Chen Mobai, I am kindly discussing this with you, but sometimes we still need to compromise.”

Within the Immortal Sect, because high-quality spirit medicines are precious, sometimes when refining pills, only a portion is used. Therefore, various techniques have been developed to preserve the medicine's efficacy and prevent its loss after cutting.

Ning Ying heard Yuan Daoguo relent on the distribution of the five-element spirit fruits, and indeed, his attitude changed. Yuan Daoguo wanted to suppress him, and similarly, Wang Chengce also didn't want him to master the Hunzhou technique.

“How could it be that easy? If my Primordial True Qi hadn't received assistance from several senior brothers and sisters, it would take at least eighty more years to achieve initial mastery, and that would require constantly being in a spirit vein like those in the Yiyuan Secret Realm, where seven-element spiritual energy is balanced. If I had those seven-element spirit fruits, I would only need to consume and refine them, and it would be almost enough.”

“Myriad Transformation Thunder, you speak unreasonably. Fortunately, I am cooperating with Yan Shaoyin of the Huition Valley to refine a batch of Soul Nurturing Pills. If there are any extra, I will definitely save one for you. As for these five-element spirit fruits, let's divide them first. Regarding the remaining one, I also have a way to divide its seven-element essence into two halves, with each half capable of being preserved.”

“Senior Brother, please enlighten me.”

Neither is superior or inferior; each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

After Chen Mobai heard this, he felt a mixture of joy and discomfort.

Yuan Daoguo, being merely a materialized puppet there, wasn't afraid of Ning Ying turning hostile. Moreover, the two had sworn a Dao Heart Oath to equally divide the gains from the Yiyuan Secret Realm. As long as Yuan Daoguo didn't violate the oath, Ning Ying wouldn't dare to forcibly take all of the five-element spirit fruits.

Although it was unknown which type Ning Ying was, as long as Yuan Daoguo blocked the wood and fire elements, which were the final stages of earth element derivation, he could surely suppress Ning Ying's Primordial True Qi cultivation speed.

Regarding this, if Yuan Daoguo refused, then among the Seven Elements and Seven Veins, the first to form a Nascent Soul must be him. “Myriad Transformation Thunder has a Spirit Flower Pill in hand and has also mastered Primordial True Qi, so forming a Nascent Soul seems almost certain.”

“Is this Soul Nurturing Pill a pill formula Junior Brother obtained from the Longevity Sect? I wonder how its efficacy compares to the Wangcheng Pill Master left behind? In that case, no matter what, it would be helpful to me.”

Ning Ying frowned, and his gaze toward Yuan Daoguo showed some displeasure.

Without the Hunzhou technique, breaking the core and forming the Nascent Soul would be extremely dangerous. Ning Ying hoped Yuan Daoguo would perish at that stage, and then he could successfully form a Nascent Soul with the help of that divine ability.

Since it was impossible to completely suppress him, then everyone should be a bit more dignified.

Now Ning Ying had given Yuan Daoguo a choice: suppress his cultivation of the Hunzhou technique, or achieve Core Formation perfection. He could only choose one, because he also didn't want Yuan Daoguo to form a Nascent Soul!

“Oh, does Myriad Transformation Thunder also have a Spirit Flower Pill?”

When Yuan Daoguo picked the three fruits, he specifically looked at the last one, the Metal-element spirit fruit.

There are two orthodox methods for cultivating Primordial True Qi: one is cultivating all seven elements simultaneously, with the Earth element as the core, simultaneously advancing the other seven elemental paths, and progressing step by step.

“Wang Chengce, to be frank, our sect has seven Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators who are ready to form cores. Three of them are already quite old and nearing the end of their physical prime, so I was wondering if I could offer some spirit stones as compensation, and I take three fruits back for them to use for Core Formation.”

Ning Ying probed a bit, and seeing that Wang Chengce was unyielding, he pointed with a disappointed expression at the three blue, red, and green fruits under the tree.

What he actually needed was those two and a half fruits.

But Wang Chengce always felt that Ning Ying was holding back, and it was a good opportunity to extract more information. Perhaps he could also try to comprehend the mysteries of the Soul Transformation realm.

“There's also another rapid introductory method for the Hunzhou technique: that is, another cultivator who has achieved initial mastery of Primordial True Qi, if willing to expend a source spirit fruit, can inject a wisp of Primordial True Qi into a disciple's body.”

If this five-element spirit tree were still Grade Five, then according to Ning Ying, cultivating the Hunzhou technique would be very helpful before forming a Nascent Soul in the future.

“That's truly a pity.”

“Wang Chengce, there are five five-element spirit fruits here. If we divide them equally according to the contract, it'
