Chapter 31 The Truth Is Simple, The Fakes Are Long-Winded
After returning home, Chen Mobai removed the packaging of the spiritual testing instrument and injected a stream of spiritual power to activate it. After confirming that it was functioning normally, he stuffed it into his small bag.
However, he did not go to the water mansion immediately today.
Instead, he took out his phone first and ordered some clothes.
Since Chen Mobai planned to interact with the cultivators of the Heavenly River Realm, he naturally had to blend in with them first. His attire could not be too outstanding.
Although his school uniform was also quite simple, it was completely different from the style of the old man and young man who had died in the water mansion last time. As he compared the available choices with the clothes of the two people in his memory, Chen Mobai chose a grayish-white ancient costume online.
After placing the order for the ancient costume, he did not forget to buy shoes.
Finally, he looked in the mirror and saw the incongruity again.
His neat buzz-cut hairstyle did not match the ancient costume at all. He could only order two more sets of long wigs and some crown-binding hair accessories. Then, he was finally fully equipped.
However, it would take at least two more days for the goods to arrive.
Chen Mobai could only meditate in the water mansion today and could not go out.
In a flash of silver, he was back in the Heavenly River Realm.
Sensing the water spiritual energy around him that was several times denser than at home, he could not help but take a deep breath and sit on the meditation cushion.
He took out his phone and started flipping through the Qi Refinement chapter of the Pure Yang Manual.
The document began with a page of [Reading Instructions).
Although all the cultivation techniques in the National Library were exchanged by cultivators with points, they could only be cultivated by themselves and not taught to others. If one agreed with this view, they could agree to the instructions and continue reading
Chen Mobai naturally agreed. This could be considered a small Dao heart oath.
If a cultivator violated the rules and gave the cultivation technique he downloaded to others to cultivate, it would go against his own intentions.
The more the cultivation technique spread, the more obstacles the cultivator would face in the future.
It was not a big deal when one’s realm was low. However, once one reached the Core Formation Realm or the Nascent Soul Realm, it was very easy to trigger mental demons and fail.
It was also because of this that although it was easy to obtain cultivation techniques and knowledge in the immortal sect, cultivators basically exchanged them with points or Karma Points.
Chen Mobai first read the Qi Cultivation chapter of the Pure Yang Manual from beginning to end. He compared it with the Five Elements Technique he cultivated and realized that this was indeed more profound. He could not understand it completely.
Of course, this might also be because Chen Mobai had watched Master Qing Ping’s lecture videos several times recently and had a very thorough understanding of the Five Elements Technique.
He still needed to attend class seriously.
He opened the “Auxiliary Cultivation” app and chose Daoist Shao Yang’s column. He began to systematically learn about the Qi Cultivation chapter of the Pure Yang Manual by comparing it with the notes of this person.
Just like the Black Water Technique, the Qi Cultivation chapter of the Pure Yang Manual had three accompanying spells, as well as the Three-Yang Body that could transform one’s Spiritual Root.
The Dharma spells were the Fire Lighting Spell, the Blaze Spell, and the Fireball Spell.
The first topic was naturally the Three-Yang Body. This was the foundation of the foundation and the most important.
After Chen Mobai listened to the lecture once, he instantly understood.
As expected, the truth was simple, while fakes were long-winded. Under the detailed explanation of Daoist Shao Yang, Chen Mobai suddenly understood what he did not understand previously.
When transforming one’s Spiritual Root with the Three-Yang Body, one first needed to transform the water Spiritual Root into a wood Spiritual Root, and then transform the wood Spiritual Root into a fire Spiritual Root. The subtle difference between these two steps was that if Chen Mobai did not listen to Daoist Shao Yang’s explanation, even if he succeeded, the efficiency of the transformation would definitely not be high.
When Old Ding transformed his Spiritual Root with the One-Yang Body, it was because of this that the fire attribute points in his Spiritual Root only increased by six points in the end. Even though it was only three points away from the maximum nine points, it might be because of this three-point deviation that he failed to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Therefore, after Chen Mobai finished listening, in order to confirm that he had not missed anything, he found explanation videos from two Golden Core Daoists who cultivated the Pure Yang Manual. After comparing the content, he gained a lot.
“If I can break through to the late stages of the Qi Refinement Realm, it’s not impossible to cultivate the Pure Yang Manual.”
Chen Mobai muttered to himself. There were 84,000 Daoist books in the immortal sect. Although the Pure Yang Manual was not the first in terms of combat, and the cultivation speed was only average, it was still a promising path. Moreover, the predecessors were experienced. He could follow their experiences if he faced any obstacles and bottlenecks in cultivation. Thus, it was most suitable for people with high permissions like him.
With that thought, his faith in getting out of the water mansion deepened.
He had to earn enough Spirit Stones in the Heavenly River Realm.
“However, the most important thing now is to advance to Qi Refinement Level-7.”
Perhaps because he had used Spirit Pills to break through, after Chen Mobai entered Qi Refinement Level-6, he did not feel as weak as when he had taken the Purple Fire Pill.
However, he had always been a cautious person. He still used the Qi Nurturing Spell to cultivate for two days. It was only today when he felt the spiritual power in his meridians that he decided to take the “Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water”.
He opened the compartment of his bag and took out two glass tubes the length and thickness of his index fingers.
The mouths of the tubes were stoppered with a wooden cork, and there was a mouthful of colorless liquid inside. It was the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water.
Chen Mobai popped the cork and gulped the liquid down.
The texture was like plain water, but it contained a faint bitter medicinal taste that he could not quite accept.
After drinking it, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.
As he circulated the Five Elements Techniques, his meridians and acupoints instantly felt hungry for spiritual energy. The dense spiritual energy in the water mansion rushed into Chen Mobai’s body like wisps of smoke.
Chen Mobai felt that the efficiency of his spiritual power cultivation had increased by nearly ten times. The water vein spiritual energy continuously gathered around him, vaguely turning into mist and causing his entire body to be shrouded in a hazy fog. However, a colorful and warm treasure light seeped out of his skin. It was the sign that he had cultivated the Five Elements Technique to a profound level.
Ordinary late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators did not have such an aura when they circulated the Five Elements Technique.
It was also because this was a middle-grade Rank-2 spiritual vein treasure land with abundant spiritual energy.
If he was at home, at least half of the medicinal power of the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water would have been wasted.
After six full cycles, the mist and spiritual energy around Chen Mobai began to slowly dissipate, and the efficiency of refining spiritual energy returned to normal.
This meant that the medicinal power of the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water had been completely exhausted.
He circulated two more cycles. He really could not stand the cultivation efficiency that was as slow as a turtle compared to before. Thus, he stopped and opened his eyes.
“Unfortunately, this thing needs to be snapped up. Although I exchanged the Spirit Stone for Karma Points I don’t know if I’ll be lucky enough to get it.”
Chen Mobai still had a bottle of Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water, but he could only take one bottle a day. He was prepared to put it back in his bag. However, just as his hand touched the glass tube containing the Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water, his eyes suddenly widened.
Wasn’t this glass tube the same one that the young lady in the white nurse’s uniform had used to store the liquid from the large iron pot at the pharmacy?!
No wonder he found that scene familiar. He was familiar with this glass tube.
What she sealed was not the “Spirit Returning Water”, but the “Qi Replenishing Spiritual Water”!
Wasn’t this thing sold directly by Goumang Dao Academy? Could her small pharmacy actually refine it?
