I Have A Cultivation World

You could have waited until you have enough seniority before attempting Core Formation.”

Chen Mobai was surprised by Qing Nu’s words.

Although Heaven Spirit Root Cultivators have a fifty percent success rate in Core Formation even without Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, precisely because of this, they should strive for excellence and aim to succeed on their first try.

Imperial Medical Academy had conducted research–Heaven Spirit Root Cultivators often found it easier to make breakthroughs because their Spiritual Roots contained a strand of Innate Qi of a specific attribute.

When Cultivators practiced corresponding Cultivation Techniques, this strand of Innate Qi would be continuously decoded.

When facing a bottleneck in their cultivation, this Innate Qi would release a little to help Cultivators comprehend the Dao’s rhythm and overcome the bottleneck.

If a Heaven Spirit Root Cultivator failed to break through, it would mean that most of the Innate Qi within them was already used up and merged.

Therefore, in all possible situations, Heaven Spirit Root Cultivators wouldn’t rashly force their way through a bottleneck but instead would take Elixir or use time to cultivate, to prevent excessive depletion of that piece of Innate Qi within them.

Fine steel should be used on the cutting edge.

If possible, Heaven Spirit Root Cultivators hoped to use their strand of Innate Qi only during major realm breakthroughs.

If Qing Nu indeed used up all her foundation during Core Formation, then she would have no advantage compared to ordinary Cultivators during Nascent Soul Formation.

“There have been so many Heaven Spirit Roots in the history of Immortal Gate, and eighty to ninety percent of them have stopped at Perfect Core Formation. I think my own comprehension is average, and it’s better not to aim too high.”

Faced with Chen Mobai, Qing Nu also shared her true feelings.

Although resources were scarce on Immortal Gate’s side, they had a basic affinity with Spiritual Roots, typically producing one Heaven Spirit Root every ten or twenty years or so.

With such a vast base, very few manage to form their Nascent Soul.

Because the strand of Innate Qi could increase the probability of successfully forming a Core by fifty percent, its effect on the Nascent Soul Formation was only equivalent to a kind of Nascent Soul Formation Spirit Medicine.

Thus, many Heaven Spirit Root Cultivators developed a kind of laissez-faire mindset.

They chose to use their foundation directly on the Core Formation stage, to enjoy the benefits as soon as possible.

“That’s not the way to look at it. For Core Formation, you could just wait out your seniority to get the Elixir. That way, when forming the Core, you would consume the Elixir’s power first, before starting to draw upon your Innate Qi, which could save a lot. And the Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine is so precious that even I might not be able to queue up for it. Since you are a Heaven Spirit Root Cultivator, you really should not waste it.”

Chen Mobai started to earnestly and patiently persuade her, noting that Gongye Zhixu, after serving the people for so many years, had only managed to get an Infant-Feeding Elixir.

From birth, Qing Nu was as if she already possessed an Infant-Feeding Elixir.

“This…”

After hearing what Chen Mobai said, Qing Nu hesitated.

“Why are you so anxious to form your Core? Do you not want to stay in the Sky-Mending Group anymore?”

Chen Mobai could only think of this reason because after Core Formation, Qing Nu would become a council member of the Kaiyuan Hall–even if she were to be sidelined, she would be assigned a place to serve in an official capacity.

“There is that reason.”

Qing Nu nodded and then seemed to think of something. Her fair cheeks blushed as she slightly lowered her head.

[Actually, I want to be closer to you.]

“If that’s the case, I’ll try to send a message and see if Wen Ren Xuewei can use the reason of rehiring outstanding graduates to allow you to return to Jumang Academy as a Teaching Assistant.”

Chen Mobai also felt it was somewhat inappropriate for Qing Nu to be on her own in a place like the Sky-Mending Group, which was full of fierce individuals; he thought through his connections and came up with a solution.

“My identity is special, and doing so might bring unnecessary scrutiny to the Academy. Let’s forget it.”

Qing Nu shook her head, rejecting Chen Mobai’s proposal.

“I still hope you can show a bit more endurance–even exchanging for a single Water Primordial Golden Core Pill would be good. After all, among my friends, perhaps only you can accompany me on this journey. I don’t want to find myself all alone when it comes time for Nascent Soul Formation.”

Chen Mobai sighed and revealed some of his inner thoughts.

After hearing this, Qing Nu’s beautiful face showed a hint of emotion. Her already wavering determination immediately solidified.

“Alright, for our future, I will not draw upon my Innate Water Spirit Qi.”

Chen Mobai, feeling overjoyed upon hearing that Qing Nu had taken his advice, brightened up.

“But I still want to try forming the Core. Even if I fail, it can still serve as preparation for a real attempt later on.”

Qing Nu’s statement surprised Chen Mobai slightly. Attempting Core Formation without drawing on the foundation of her Heaven Spirit Root and without the aid of the Immortal Gate’s Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine was almost impossible to succeed.

In that case, the backlash from a failed Core Formation could result in a Cultivator being severely injured for a long time, or it might even cause a loss of their essence.

While the Immortal Gate’s medical system could eventually restore one’s health with slow care, such weakness lasting for several years, or even over a decade, was still a tormenting matter for any Cultivator.

“Why go to such lengths?”

Chen Mobai was at a loss. In the peaceful and prosperous times of the Immortal Gate, there was simply no need to push oneself so hard.

“Aren’t I just learning from you?”

Qing Nu replied with a smile, rendering Chen Mobai speechless.

That was indeed how he presented himself in the Immortal Gate!

But he had the resources of the entire Divine Wood Sect as his backing; every time he was about to break through, his external conditions were maxed out.

It could only be said that many people only saw the surface of his genius and did not see the mountains of various resources and spiritual objects accumulated behind him.

“Just give it a try, and if it doesn’t work, don’t force it.”

Qing Nu used herself as an example, so that was all Chen Mobai could advise. As long as she gave up quickly, the backlash from a failed Core Formation would be lighter, and she would recover faster.

“Mhm, I belong to the Sky-Mending Group Four, and I’ve simulated Core Formation failure innumerable times in medical training. With my authority, I can apply for a third-rank superior cultivation room, and I’ve prepared some elixirs for healing…”

Qing Nu began to discuss her arrangement for Core Formation.

In theory, she could apply to the Jumang Academy for a fourth-grade spirit vein, but this opportunity was available to each graduate only once. So, without intending to utilize the entirety of her foundation, she changed the location of her Core Formation to a cultivation room of the Sky-Mending Group, to avoid wasting the opportunity.

“I have a friend who is an expert in Spirit Gathering Arrays and can upgrade a third-rank superior spirit vein to fourth-grade in a short time. Give me a couple of days to arrange it.”

As he spoke, Chen Mobai made a phone call to Yunyang Bing. Since graduating, the latter had been carving the Daoist rhythms of mountains and rivers into his heart and mind at various places in the Immortal Gate. After hearing his request, without any hesitation, he agreed to send the necessary items as quickly as possible.

“Actually, the Sky-Mending Group also possesses similar things. The principle is to accumulate Spiritual Energy and then release it in a short burst to create an effect akin to a level-up. However, since Core Formation takes a long time, if it’s not well-controlled, it can lead to an insufficient supply of Spiritual Energy later on.”

Chen Mobai was so quick with the phone call that Qing Nu did not have a chance to interject, but she still shared what she knew afterward.

“Speaking of spiritual energy… I actually bought a Void Blind Box earlier and found some very interesting things in it, one of which is quite suitable for you.”

Chen Mobai quickly shifted the conversation to the real reason he had arranged to meet Qing Nu that day. He first took out the pail of pearls given to him by Nu Jiang.

Of course, if he were to take out all eighty-eight pearls, their value would be too frightening in the Immortal Gate.

After all, one pearl was equal to a top-grade spirit stone, which in terms of Good Deed Points would be a hundred million!

Chen Mobai was unreserved with Qing Nu, but after careful consideration, he cautiously took out just the eight surplus pearls.

“This is…!”

Girls indeed have little resistance to shiny objects. Upon seeing the lustrous, transparent pearls, Qing Nu couldn’t help but reach out to touch them.

Next, she felt the pearls contained a massive amount of Spiritual Energy, akin to a vast sea.

What astonished her was that the Spiritual Energy was of the Water Attribute, which was best suited for her to absorb.

“It must be a spiritual object from a Sea Territory. I also found this elixir in the Void Blind Box, and I guess it belonged to a senior cultivator of Fire Attribute techniques, wanting to use the Water Spirit Qi in these pearls to balance the Fire and Water aspects…”

Chen Mobai had just taken out the Golden Crow Sun Swallowing Elixir, and before he could finish speaking, Qing Nu had already consciously taken the elixir and started to identify it.

“Indeed, it’s specifically for Fire Attribute cultivators. The elixir hasn’t been destroyed, despite its excessive toxicity, which suggests it was produced during wartime when resources were scarce and supervision was lax…”

Seeing Qing Nu begin to identify it, Chen Mobai immediately shared with her everything he knew about the effects of the Golden Crow Sun Swallowing Elixir.

The reason being that when he opened the Void Blind Box, the senior cultivator had also left a manual for the elixir.

Qing Nu trusted him unconditionally. Nodding at his words, she took out a hollow fine needle from her small bag and used a special technique to extract some of the medicinal powder, which she then put on her tongue with her finger.

Soon, Chen Mobai saw her complexion turn red, and she began to sweat profusely.

He was about to intervene, but Qing Nu stopped him. She explained that it was a normal reaction to testing medicine because it was a third-grade elixir, and since it countered her own cultivation technique with its Fire Attribute, her reaction was somewhat intense.

“I’ll be alright in a minute…”

Qing Nu said, but she couldn’t help holding the concerned Chen Mobai’s right hand, which was by her side.

Today, she wore a tight-fitting, low-cut long-sleeve top, revealing her snow-white delicate collarbones, and a black skirt below her slender waist. The slightly sheer black stockings outlined the graceful curves of her long legs. As sweat drenched her body and her clothes clung to her, Chen Mobai could clearly see her most genuine and graceful figure.

In terms of body proportions, Qing Nu was the most perfect among all the beauties Chen Mobai had encountered.

As sweat droplets slid down her beautiful face, Chen Mobai felt a hint of distress.

He hadn’t anticipated that identifying the Golden Crow Sun Swallowing Elixir would overheat Qing Nu. For Immortal Sect Disciples who were used to maintaining their most comfortable body temperature constantly, this was a moderate torment.

“It’s passed!”

About five minutes later, Qing Nu opened her eyes and showed a smile to the relieved Chen Mobai at her side.
