Chapter 160: The First Sun Formsi
Translator: 549690339 I
Chen Mobai wondered if the fluctuating Spiritual Root Attribute Points due to hts diet could be used to offset the damage to his Spiritual Roots from cultivating the Pure Yang Daoist Body without affecting his original Spiritual Roots.
No sooner said than done.
He held onto a Spirit Stone and began cultivating One Yang Body.
Two days later, looking at the data displayed on the Spirit-Testing Instrument screen, Chen Mobai was both delighted and somewhat disheartened. [Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 27, Water 29, Fire 20, Earth 10] Progress was finally made in the phase transformation of his One Yang Body. The Spiritual Root Attribute Points of Wood and Water each lost 1 point, while the Fire Spirit Root grew by 3 points.
However, the temporary 1 point increase in his Wood Spirit Root from eating half a piece of jade bamboo shoots was not consumed by his Pure Yang Daoist Body.
Ideas are good, but reality said otherwise.
These temporary increments in Spiritual Root points, while deceiving the Spirit-Testing Instruments, can’t “deceive” the Pure Yang Daoist Body. But this was of no major concern.
Chen Mobai still felt happy about the progress he had made with his One Yang Body. 5
According to experienced practitioners in Auxiliary Cultivation, each level of Pure Yang Daoist Body cultivation could increase Fire Spirit Root by up to 9 points.
Chen Mobai was using Spirit Stones for the transformation, which was the most efficient method. If he made no mistakes, by the time he completes the Three Yang Body, his Fire Spirit Root could increase to 44 points.
At that point, not only could the chances of Foundation Establishment be increased by 10%, but the time for practicing fire spells could also be significantly reduced.
Cultivating One Yang Body requires 9 Spirit Stones.
He had already used 3, making him a third of the way through the One Yang Body.
It took nine days.
That is to say, in about a month’s time, he could complete One Yang.
However, the “Pure Yang Daoist Body” is notoriously easy to learn but difficult to master.
When it comes to Two Yang Body, it requires 90 Spirit Stones.
Three Yang Body, it requires 900 Spirit Stones.
In other words, Chen Mobai needs to prepare a thousand Spirit Stones to complete the practice and prepare for Foundation Establishment.
However, the number of Spirit Stones for the Three Yang Body was, for him still acceptable.
After all, he had access to the teleportation channels of both Tianhe Realm and Di Yuan Star. As long as he transported goods diligently, earning a thousand Spirit Stones should not be a problem.
The amount of Spirit Stones required from Four Yang to Six Yang was astronomical for Chen Mobai.
However, it could be because he is still a Qi Practitioner. Perhaps once Foundation Establishment is achieved, it may not feel that much.
Moreover, the leading figures in Auxiliary Cultivation speculated that the best way to progress from Four Yang to Six Yang is to use intermediate-grade Spirit Stones.
From Seven Yang to Nine Yang, it’s best to use upper-grade Spirit Stones. One high-grade Spirit Stone is equivalent to ten thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones. Just the thought of it made Chen Mobai scratch his head.
Such resources were impossible to obtain in the Immortal Sect.
Could it be possible that the Spirit Stone Mine controlled by the Divine Wood Sect in the Tianhe Realm could produce high-grade Spirit Stones?
However, compared with other practitioners of the Pure Yang Scroll, at least he has the hope that he could significantly reduce the time by using resources. For other cultivators in the Immortal Sect, after the Three Yang Body, they all rely on slowly absorbing and transforming Spiritual Energy on their own for progress.
Dreaming of cultivating with Spirit Stones was a wishful thinking. For the following eighteen days, Chen Mobai did not go to the Water Mansion nor did he go out.
He stayed home and successfully completed the cultivation of the One Yang Body in one fell swoop.
[Spiritual Root: Gold 23, Wood 31, Water 27, Fire 26, Earth 10] Looking at the spiritual root attribute points displayed on the spirit-testing instrument, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Seven jade bamboo shoots provided a permanent increase of seven points to his wood spirit root, but the One Yang Body reduced it by three points. In addition, three points were lost from his water spirit root, in exchange for a nine-point increase in his fire spirit root.
The resources he spent for this were only nine lower-grade spirit stones. These depleted spirit stones could still be used as spiritual extracts, letting Qing Nu further refine the dan poison for reuse.
After completing the One Yang Body, Chen Mobai made further progress in his cultivation of the “Pure Yang Scroll”, reaching the fifth level of Qi Cultivation. However, if he wanted to cultivate the Two Yang Body to upgrade his fire spirit root next, it would take him 270 days, or nine months, at the rate of one spirit stone every three days.
For the Three Yang Body, it would be 2700 days, or seven and a half years.
That is to say, he would be stuck at this stage for eight years.
Chen Mobai had no choice in this matter. This rate of progression was already the fastest in the Immortal Gate. Moreover, he estimated that he would probably need the same amount of time to advance to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.
Most people who cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll usually don’t have spirit stones and rely on slowly grinding spiritual energy instead.
It took Ding Jinglue twenty years of hard cultivation to achieve the Three Yang Body. 6
He could only hope that after breaking through the next Cultivation Realm, the speed of refining spirit stones would increase.
Chen Mobai was very clear about his own situation. The Daoist Academy gives
its students a school term of ten years.
As long as he succeeded in building the Foundation Establishment within ten years, he wouldn’t have to serve in the military service.
So, he set a small goal for himself: to achieve Foundation Establishment success within ten years.
With this mindset, Chen Mobai’s thoughts became clear.
He glanced at the date and realized it was almost time to report to the Dance
Tool Dao Academy, so he booked a train ticket on his phone.
Then, he figured that the situation in the Tianhe Realm should have died down by now. They couldn’t possibly be hunting him for a month, right?
He teleported into the Water Mansion once again.
This time, when he returned, Chen Mobai was taken aback.
Outside the Water Mansion, there was a “Message Talisman” floating.
Someone had found this place!
Chen Mobai immediately grabbed the Array Flag and checked the Azure Water Formation. Finding no signs of attack, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He only let the “Message Talisman” in after fully unleashing the Array’s power and confirming that there were no issues.
[The Guiding Spirit mission in Yun Country has been completed. In seven days, Single Uncle Master will be coming to Southstream Market to take you to Giant Tree Ridge. Remember not to be late, otherwise you’ll have to march back to the sect on your own.]
[- Yuan Chiye]
Chen Mobai was surprised. He wondered how this true lineage member had managed to locate this Water Mansion.
That being said, none of that mattered. He quickly checked the time and found that he wasn’t late. There were still two days left. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Mobai immediately packed his bag and was about to head to the Southstream Market when he stopped abruptly.
What if the South Mountain Thieves were still outside looking for him and happened to ambush him on the only way back to Southstream Market? What then?
A cautious Chen Mobai stood hesitating.
In the end, he gritted his teeth, found a Donghuang map in the study left by Liu
Yanpei, and located Giant Tree Ridge on it.
It was in Jian Country, right next door to Yun Country, and he would need to cross three thousand miles to get there.
It would be time-consuming. He might need three months if he went over mountains and through rivers. However, for safety’s sake, he decided not to go back to Southstream Market.
Furthermore, who knows? He might find a teleportation array in some cultivator market along the way to shorten the distance.

Having made up his mind, Chen Mobai relaxed a bit.
With the One Yang Body completed, he planned to try taking the Fire Clearing
Pill that Qing Nu had created to improve his divine sense.
Entering the side hall for cultivation, Chen Mobai sat on the cushion. He was about to take the pill when he sensed that something was off.
Why was the spiritual energy here so dense?
