Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 314 - 188: Special Five Elements Spirit Vein Land, Mo Qianbai (Part 2)
It’s merely about competing for those scraps within the Inner Talisman Hall, and obtaining some meaningless sense of self-superiority as well as recognition from others.
And within that sense of self-superiority, there is also a mix of inferiority and resentment, while the surface recognition from others also carries a hidden disdain.
However, if Qi Chuan were to say, what if he became a Core Formation True Master?
Then all would be gone.
No matter if you’re of noble lineage or a Loose Cultivator, when facing an actual Core Formation True Master, the only thing you must do is admire, respect, and learn to be humble.
No matter how capable you are, you’re ultimately just the Deputy Steward of the Inner Talisman Hall.
But as long as Qi Chuan breaks through to the Core Formation Realm, he will surely become an undisputed Elder of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect and could oversee a hall.
Moreover, a Core Formation True Master enjoys over five hundred years of longevity.
In comparison, even for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm, the lifespan is still only two hundred fifty or sixty years.
As time passes by, regardless of whether you’re of noble lineage or a Loose Cultivator, Qi Chuan will still be living well in this world, while you’ll have turned into nothing more than a mound of yellow earth.
And Qi Chuan immediately took action, aiming for the target—Special Five Elements Spiritual Vein Land!
Throughout these years in the Outer Talisman Hall, for the sake of the Core Formation, Qi Chuan had secretly conducted numerous investigations and acquired quite a bit of information.
Among them, Soul-Stabilizing Incense was one such acquisition.
And the Special Five Elements Spiritual Vein Land was another such acquisition.
Unlike the effect of Soul-Stabilizing Incense on reducing Heart Demons, the Special Five Elements Spiritual Vein Land, on the other hand, enhances the Mana.
Because breaking through from Foundation Establishment Perfection to the Core Formation Realm is essentially a process of compressing liquid magical power into solid pills.
In this process, the more abundant the magical power is, the greater the likelihood of successful Core Formation.
Regarding the magical power foundation, Qi Chuan reached the count of two hundred forty drops, having achieved the utmost limit, unable to increase further.
However, external means can still be leveraged.
This Special Five Elements Spiritual Vein Land is one such means of amplification.
Actually, when Qi Chuan and his mentor Situ Jiang discussed and inquired previously, he knew there existed such an amplification method but even the Wind Moon Sect didn’t have it.
Once, while at the Outer Talisman Hall, he heard that the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect had a Special Five Elements Spiritual Vein Land, naturally bringing him great joy, although unfortunately, he had no way to access it in the Outer Talisman Hall.
Now that he joined the Inner Talisman Hall and became a true member of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, he finally had the opportunity to get in touch with it.
Nonetheless, Qi Chuan’s heart was still somewhat anxious.
After all, because the Special Five Elements Spiritual Vein Land has beneficial effects on Core Formation, resources of this level are certainly difficult to compete for, and obtaining them might encounter numerous challenges.
Therefore, Qi Chuan first prepared himself for the competition.
Immediately, Qi Chuan found the Chief Steward of the Inner Talisman Hall, Mo Qianbai. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Mo Qianbai, over two hundred years old, was an old man with white hair and beard, his body seemed slightly frail, and the skin on his face showed signs of aging, yet his eyes remained bright and spirited.
"Is it Deputy Steward Qi Chuan? What brings you to me?"
In the Inner Talisman Hall, Mo Qianbai reclined on a large chair, looking at Qi Chuan, speaking with a gentle tone that gave people a rather good impression.
As he spoke, Mo Qianbai also observed Qi Chuan.
In fact, when Qi Chuan first arrived from the Outer Talisman Hall to the Inner Talisman Hall, Mo Qianbai had seen him already.
After all, as a Tier Two Top Grade Talisman Master joining the Inner Talisman Hall, it was a significant event for the hall, and as the Chief Steward of the Inner Talisman Hall, he had to show up to preside.
This was the second meeting.
Mo Qianbai’s impression of Qi Chuan still lingered on being quite talented.
However, no matter how talented, reaching Tier Two Top Grade Talisman Master merits a pause.
Because if one advances further, one becomes a Tier Three Talisman Master.
Realistically speaking, this realm is not something one can achieve simply by wishing it.
Even if you have great talent in talisman making, it doesn’t help, because to become a Tier Three Talisman Master, you must first become a Core Formation True Master.
And achieving that is, to put it simply, as difficult as ascending to heaven.
It’s not that Qi Chuan has no chance, but the bottleneck of Core Formation doesn’t consider your talent in talisman making.
Sometimes, talisman makers striving to break through to Core Formation find it more challenging than average cultivators do.
Because if they practice talisman making concurrently, they inevitably invest enormous energy and time into it, making the already arduous task of Core Formation even less likely.
Even taking a step back, even if there’s a possibility for Qi Chuan to achieve Core Formation in the future, it would be far off.
For now, Qi Chuan has to remain in the Deputy Steward position of the Inner Talisman Hall, much like other Tier Two Top Grade Talisman Masters within the hall.
But he heard... this newly joined Deputy Steward of the Inner Talisman Hall, Qi Chuan, seems not too fond of faction divisions within the hall?
This approach is quite wrong...
The opposite party should be reminded.
"Chief Steward, the reason I’m here this time is indeed for an important matter, about the Special Five Elements Spiritual Vein Land." Qi Chuan spoke at this moment.
"Special Five Elements Spiritual Vein Land? Are you going to cultivate some special divine techniques?" Mo Qianbai asked with some confusion.
"No, it’s for other reasons." Qi Chuan shook his head and said.
"Other reasons? Seems like a personal secret, which is okay not to disclose to me." Mo Qianbai stroked his white beard and said, "The Special Five Elements Spiritual Vein Land isn’t exclusive to our Inner Talisman Hall; it’s owned by the whole Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect. As a Tier Two Top Grade Talisman Master, you’re qualified to apply, but it requires a substantial amount of contribution points, and you’ll need to queue."
"Because sometimes, people use it for breaking through to the Core Formation Realm, and even some Core Formation Elders use it for cultivating certain special divine techniques."
"However, those aiming for Core Formation are few, and those cultivating special divine techniques aren’t always active, so as long as you’re willing to spend your contribution points, applying for the Special Five Elements Spiritual Vein Land isn’t hard."
Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan couldn’t help but sigh with relief.
Luckily, it’s significantly simpler than anticipated.
"Do you need to use it soon?" Mo Qianbai asked.
"Um, no." Qi Chuan replied.
Actually, even he does not know when he will need it, since it depends on when his Inspiration Opportunity reaches Perfection; only when it’s perfected can he use the Special Five Elements Spiritual Vein Land to break through to the Core Formation Realm.
"If so, then there’s no need to apply early, come back when it’s appropriate. Although the Special Five Elements Spiritual Vein Land is precious, there’s less competition, so it’s not so in demand." Mo Qianbai said.
"Alright." At these words, Qi Chuan had no choice but to nod.
Initially, he thought competing for the Special Five Elements Spiritual Vein Land would be difficult, which is why he came early to find Mo Qianbai, only to realize he arrived ahead of schedule.
Nevertheless, at least he obtained a confirmed message, knowing there’s basically no issue using the Special Five Elements Spiritual Vein Land for advancing to Core Formation, which eased his mind considerably.
"The matter of the Special Five Elements Spiritual Vein Land can be set aside for now, no hurry." Mo Qianbai looked at Qi Chuan and reminded, "But I hear, you seem not particularly interested in the faction divisions within the Inner Talisman Hall?"
"Ah?..." Upon hearing Mo Qianbai say this, Qi Chuan couldn’t help but look at the former, his eyes filled with a bit of surprise.
He hadn’t expected Mo Qianbai to speak it out pointedly.
And Mo Qianbai was supposed to be part of the noble lineage faction, yet by listening to his tone now, it seemed he had no negative views toward Qi Chuan, and his attitude was quite favorable—was this meant to enlighten him?
"According to their divisions, though I am part of the noble lineage faction, I had some experience as a Loose Cultivator before joining the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, so I don’t view talisman masters joining from the Outer Talisman Hall strangely." Mo Qianbai said with a smile, stroking his beard.
