I Have A Cultivation World-Chapter 408 - 303: Methods to Obtain Core Formation Spiritual Medicine in the Fairy Gate_2
Chapter 408: Chapter 303: Methods to Obtain Core Formation Spiritual Medicine in the Fairy Gate_2
When this is associated with the upcoming retirement of Meng Hong, there is an overall feeling that the Sect Leader might, before resigning, try to resolve some longstanding issues all at once within the sect.
Chu Zuoshu likely knows about this situation, but considering he’s due to be the next Sect Leader, he would most definitely be happy to see these things come to fruition. He probably wishes for Meng Hong to shoulder all the blame before retiring.
Then, he would ascend to lead the sect free and clear of these issues.
It’s likely because of this that nobody from the Reward Virtue Hall was sent to investigate the matter of the Spirit Stone Mine deficit in Lei Nation. It seems that regardless of the investigation results from Yuan Chiye and Fu Xingzhou, the higher-ups have already set their plans in motion.
So, Chen Mobai surmises that major actions will likely take place within the Divine Wood Sect before Meng Hong retires.
As for his treasured divine sword, which had been nurtured for so long, it would unavoidably have to be unsheathed.
Wanting to dominate the Eastern Wilderness with an invincible hand, his realm being at the early foundation stage feels somewhat insufficient.
It would be best if he could reach Core Formation as quickly as possible.
Chen Mobai is a bit unhappy with the slow method of acquiring Liquid Gold Jade Return Pills through conventional channels. If other true cultivators knew about this, they would probably curse bitterly.
Over 99% of True Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage within the Celestial Path don’t even dare to dream about obtaining Liquid Gold Jade Return Pills.
Take Wu Shangru for example – now that he has joined a state-owned company in Huayang Cave, it will take him sixty years to even qualify to buy a second-grade Five Elements Core Formation Pill.
And this was only achieved by leveraging relations with his Daoist partner and beating out more than a dozen competitors.
A public servant on the Celestial Path who can’t wait to get their hands on a Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill yet still wishes to achieve Core Formation while still at their physical peak can instead exchange for a Five Elements Core Formation Pill, which also requires sixty years of seniority.
And if one has the right connections, outstanding talent and accomplished performances, they can even shorten this time to a minimum of thirty years.
It is because of this system that Foundation Establishment public servants rarely save their years of service to pass on to their descendants. Once they realize the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill is out of their grasp, most people will take their chances with second-grade Five Elements Core Formation Pills.
However, Chen Mobai is overthinking these matters at this point.
If he is considering becoming a public servant, then his main goal would certainly be the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill.
As for the Five Elements Core Formation Pill, major medicinal factories within the Celestial Path could increase production to meet demand every two or three decades.
Chen Mobai has also searched online for the medicinal formula. While obtaining 188 types of Spiritual Medicine can be challenging due to their high numbers and difficult procurement, he feels that nurturing Qing Nu and establishing a successful business in the Tianhe Realm should solve the issue of collecting the necessary materials for a pill.
However, the problem with the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill is the 666 types of medicinal herbs it requires. Eight of these primary herbs must have been cultured for over a thousand years. Chen Mobai estimates that he would have to achieve a position at the level of one of the three Hall Masters in the Divine Wood Sect to possibly gather all the necessary ingredients with the help of his sect’s power.
His biggest concern is that some of these herbs are indigenous and unique to the Celestial Path and might not be found in the Tianhe Realm.
But these are all things to consider for the future. The most critical task at the moment is to figure out a way to obtain a set of Tree Fruit, and then Perfectly complete the Pure Yang Foundation Establishment.
After that, he could first become a public servant on the Celestial Path to gather work seniority. If situations in the Tianhe Realm become urgent, and he can no longer afford to wait, he could ingest a Five Elements Core Formation Pill.
Perhaps with good luck, he could achieve success on the first try!
Once he had clarified his thoughts, however, Chen Mobai was struck by another question.
The Five Elements Core Formation Pills come in five types, and cultivators usually choose the one corresponding to their cultivation technique. However, if he were to form a core using the Dual-Aspect Cultivation, he would have both the Wood and Fire spiritual powers.
So, should he use the Wood Element Core Formation Pill, the Fire Element Core Formation Pill, or both?
This problem truly exceeded his knowledge range, so Chen Mobai could only consult his teacher.
“If you have the conditions, prepare one of each. If not, use the Fire Element Core Formation Pill,” said Che Yucheng, who quickly provided a solution given his extensive knowledge.
This kind of situation isn’t unusual within the Celestial Path.
After all, there are a number of cultivation techniques that combine two or even more of the Five Elements properties. For instance, the well-known Lasting Spring Cultivation from the Jumang Daoist Academy requires a tri-element Heavenly Spiritual Root.
A choice has to be made during core formation if not using the versatile Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill.
Although it is not encouraged to take two pills together due to the majority of their medicinal effects being wasted, the Imperial Medical Academy’s data research suggests that this could still enhance the success rate by two to three percentage points.
However, if a cultivator takes a Five Elements Core Formation Pill that conflicts with their spiritual power, it will backfire. It is for this reason that nobody is crazy enough to ingest five Core Formation Pills of all Five Elements at once.
[I wonder which Golden Elixir did Master Qing Ping use?]
Upon leaving Che Yucheng’s office, Chen Mobai suddenly thought of his idol.
As a prominent Nascent Soul cultivator in the cultivation world, no one really paid attention to Master Qing Ping before he underwent his Nascent Soul Formation.
It was only after he achieved Nascent Soul Formation that people were shocked, wondering who he was and how he had reached that stage!
And surprisingly, he used the Five Elements Cultivation for his Nascent Soul Formation!
How could anyone use this basic cultivation technique for foundation establishment, Gold Core formation, and Nascent Soul Formation?
After his Nascent Soul formation, people naturally began to dig into Master Qing Ping’s past.
He was a talent from a young age and entered the Repairing Heaven Institute with top scores in Pottery Mountain City.
However, once he entered the institute, amidst a constellation of geniuses, he quickly became average, barely achieving foundation establishment after ten years to avoid military service.
Afterward, he stayed at the Institute, teaching and accumulating academic credits. Occasionally, he also moonlighted at off-campus tutoring institutions to earn Good Deed Points. His specialty was having mastery over the Five Elements Cultivation and various Five Elements escape techniques.
Most of the videos that Chen Mobai watched were recorded by Master Qing Ping at tutoring institutions during those days.
Given that hundreds of millions of cultivators can only practice the Five Elements Cultivation in their lifetime, there was a huge market for it.
As someone from a prestigious institution like Master Qing Ping, many parents were willing to let their children take his online classes. Consequently, he secured the resources necessary to reach the perfection stage of foundation establishment.
After teaching at the Repairing Heaven Institute for sixty strenuous years and accumulating enough credits and years of service, Master Qing Ping exchanged them for a Five Elements Golden Elixir. Thankfully, he successfully formed his Golden Core on his first try.
Even after his Core formation, Master Qing Ping remained ordinary without any remarkable achievements and continued to teach.
However, considering that most of his resources during foundation establishment came through tutoring, he continued recording videos on the Five Elements Cultivation even after his Core Formation.
But as he was the only cultivator in the entire cultivation world who used Five Elements Cultivation for core formation, no one was interested in watching such content.
Only when Master Qing Ping accomplished the Nascent Soul Formation did people start paying attention to Five Elements Cultivation, wondering whether it was easier to breakthrough realms with this basic cultivation technique and if it facilitated quicker progress?
But to this day, there has been no second real person who formed a Golden Core using Five Elements Cultivation.
Moreover, after the Nascent Soul Formation, Master Qing Ping stopped researching the Five Elements Cultivation, instead opting to study the Jade Purity Scripture from the Primordial Elemental Academy.
The popularity of the Five Elements Cultivation triggered by his Nascent Soul Formation fizzled out within just over a decade.
Engrossed in these thoughts, Chen Mobai arrived at their dormitory building.
Soon enough, Wang Xingyu came out and handed him two portions of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew.
“Thanks, bro, let’s have dinner together tonight.”
Chen Mobai wanted to express his gratitude, but Wang Xingyu shook his head and informed him of a piece of exciting news.
“I’ve understood threshold art and will start to meditate starting this year. I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you with alchemy before I achieve foundation establishment.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately congratulated him.
This year they are in seventh grade, and their progress is slightly below the average level of the Daoist Academy.
However, their small group is practicing metaphysical techniques, and it was originally challenging for Wang Xingyu and others to advance due to their innate capabilities that were predicted by the Wrathful Puppet at the beginning, hence, breaking through realms was a bit more difficult.
But with him and Ming Yuhua as flag bearers, plus the monster Zhongli Tianyu, and Zhai Jianbai who achieved foundation establishment after listening to the Dao and understanding the Sword, the Daoist Academy had high expectations for their Class 5012.
Moreover, out of the four students from the Metaphysical Class who meditated last year, three successfully achieved foundation establishment.
In the context of practicing metaphysical cultivation methods, catching up to the average level indicated their enormous talent.
Unfortunately, Chen Mobai originally wanted Wang Xingyu to help him process the camelweed to see what kind of pill suitable for him could be concocted.
Now it seems the only option left is to ask Qing Nu for help.
