Chapter 29 - 29: 29 Insufficient Integration^
Chen Mobai opened his eyes wide, unable to believe what he was hearing. “Cultivating the ‘Pure Yang Daoist Body’ is also a type of cultivation technique, and for any cultivation technique, one cannot lack spiritual energy. It took me twenty years to cultivate the Three Yang Body because at the time of transforming the spiritual root, the process of refining the spiritual energy delayed me. If there were Spirit Stones to aid me, it would have saved at least ten years of hard work.”
Old man Ding did not hide anything, he relayed his twenty years of experience from studying at the academy to Chen Mobai.
It turned out that during the cultivation of the Pure Yang Body, you also need spiritual energy to transform the spiritual root. Without a Spirit Stone, after depleting one’s own spiritual power, you have to absorb spiritual energy while transforming, making the efforts less effective.
Why didn’t the video of True Person Shaoyang mention this?
Chen Mobai was puzzled after listening, but he soon understood the reason.
Most of the Spirit Stones on Earth are owned by the state, and ordinary cultivators do not possess any.
Since they don’t have them, there’s no need to mention it.
In that case, the “Pure Yang Scroll” would not be impossible for Chen Mobai to cultivate.
There is indeed no channel within the Immortal Sects to obtain a large number of Spirit Stones, but it is not the same in the Tianhe Realm.
According to the account book of Azure Waves Lake, which Chen Mobai had read, the cultivation realm there did not seem to lack Spirit Stones. Even the Fei Zhenmen, a third-rate sect, could distribute Spirit Stones to each disciple as a benefit.
However, if he wanted to obtain Spirit Stones, he had to leave the Water Mansion and make contact with the real cultivation world of the Tianhe Realm.
Thinking of this, Chen Mobai hesitated again.
He remembered the two Tianhe cultivators who had died in the Water Mansion not long ago. Treacherous and ruthless behavior, stabbing people in the back, seemed to be the norm. Their words also told of the chaos and disorder of the
Eastern Wilderness.
The Tianhe realm was probably a place still in its feudal stage, in the obscure age of immortal cultivation, and risks were possibly present everywhere.
He hoped he wouldn’t get killed the moment he left the Water Mansion. Chen Mobai muttered to himself and asked Old Man Ding about the number of Spirit Stones needed to cultivate the “Pure Yang Daoist Body”.
-I’m not sure about that because I only heard about it from my seniors and didn’t experience it myself. You might need to find some ancient texts to confirm.”
Old man Ding frowned and shook his head.
About five thousand years ago, when Spirit Stones were still regularly circulated in the market, there were cultivators who used Spirit Stones to cultivate the Pure Yang Daoist Body. However, finding records of that distant era might take some effort.
Chen Mobai nodded, deciding to look for it when he goes back. If it doesn’t require many Spirit Stones, he would consider cultivating the “Pure Yang Scroll” after reaching the late stage of Qi Cultivation.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
As soon as Old man Ding had spoken, his disciple, Song Zheng, opened the door.
“Master.”
Song Zheng bowed to Old man Ding, very respectfully, then looked at Chen Mobai with a slightly frowned brow, as if he was puzzled as to why he was here.
“Master Ding, I’ll come again next time to ask you about the Thunder Method Prohibition.”
Chen Mobai was very observant and did not linger to disturb the conversation between the master and disciple.
Although they were classmates, he and Song Zheng were not close. This was mainly because the latter was a diligent cultivator who would not waste time on socializing.
They both nodded at each other as a form of greeting.
After leaving the office, the first batch of senior three students in the cultivation room hadn’t come out yet, so Chen Mobai returned to the classroom, opened his phone, and searched about the relationship between the Pure Yang Daoist Body and Spirit Stones.
He finally found a related post on a forum.
The title of the post was: [How much time does it take to cultivate the Pure
Yang Daoist Body?]
It seemed a newcomer at the Pure Yang Academy had asked seniors for advice. There were more than fifty replies to the post, one of which mentioned using Spirit Stones to shorten the time needed to cultivate the Pure Yang Daoist Body. It seemed to be from a wealthier student at Pure Yang Academy. [My ancestors participated in the opening war and there were some Spirit Stones stored in the bank. After I was admitted to Pure Yang Academy, my family was excited and took out all the Spirit Stones for my cultivation. According to my own experience, here are some estimates for your reference.] [For the One Yang Body, if you want to achieve the best effect in transforming the spiritual root, you need 9 Spirit Stones. These 9 Spirit Stones should be used one by one according to the order of spiritual root transformation for the best results. Basically, in the end, you can increase your Fire Spirit Root by 9 points. This stage takes a month.]
[The Two Yang Body requires many more Spirit Stones. As there were not enough Spirit Stones in my home, part of this stage was fulfilled with my own refining of spiritual energy, eventually taking one year and three months.] [The Three Yang Body was cultivated purely by hard work without Spirit Stones, and it took six years to make a breakthrough.]
In the process of cultivating the Three Yang Body, this anonymous cultivator was five years ahead of True Person Ming Yang, who had the shortest time cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body without the use of Spirit Stones.
Chen Mobai was immediately enticed.
“I’ll first check out what’s outside the Water Mansion. If I can get a Spirit Stone, I’ll try to cultivate.”
Chen Mobai, who had originally planned to lay low, still couldn’t resist.
After all, there were only two months left before the college entrance examination, and his hope of breaking into the late stage of Qi cultivation was slim. If he could cultivate the One Yang Body, he might be able to get an admission notice from the Pure Yang Academy.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t resist logging into his main account in the National Library, but found that he didn’t have enough points to exchange for the Qi Cultivation chapter of the “Pure Yang Scroll”.
“Huh, why does the Qi Cultivation technique need so many points?” In Chen Mobai’s recollection, the Qi Cultivation chapter of Five Elements Cultivation only required 500 points. He had over 3000 points in his main account, which should have been more than enough to exchange for the Qi Cultivation chapter of the “Pure Yang Scroll”.
But when he looked, he found out it required 10,000 points.
Looking further, he was taken aback.
The Foundation Establishment chapter required 100,000 points, the Core Formation chapter required 1 million points, the Nascent Soul chapter required 10 million points, and the Divinity Transformation chapter directly required 100 million points. Moreover, each chapter had corresponding realm restrictions for download.
For example, Chen Mobai’s main account in the National Library, named ‘The Blue Emperor1, which was verified to have a Qi Cultivation Realm Level. Even if his account had 100 million points, he could only download the Qi Cultivation chapter of the “Pure Yang Scroll”.
“I’ll sell the Spirit Stone first. Recently, Jumang Daoist Academy puts up Qi-replenishing Spirit Water for auction every day, so I’ll use this good deed point to bid. I can increase my cultivation level with the Spirit Water while exchanging points for the Pure Yang Qi Cultivation chapter with the consumption.”
Although Chen Mobai is usually passive, he is always decisive when it comes to his cultivation.
A Spirit Stone left in hand is mere firewood, but it’s a treasure when put to use. He decided that under the primary premise of breaking through to the late stage of Qi Cultivation, if possible, he would also cultivate the Pure Yang Daoist Body.
Of the two Spirit Stones he obtained from the Water Mansion, one was consumed when he broke through to the sixth stage of Qi Cultivation, and one was left intact and unopened. If it was exchanged at the National Bank, it was worth 10,000 good deeds per piece.
If put on the market, due to supply and demand, it could be sold for at least 1,000 to 2,000 more good deeds..
