Chapter 935: Chapter 515 Guidance Chapter 935: Chapter 515 Guidance “Stretch out your hand and pass me some spiritual power.”
Before Chen Mobai gave any guidance, he naturally needed to understand the foundation of his students.
Chu Zuoshu and the other two, though somewhat puzzled, obediently complied.
The Spirit-Testing Instrument that Chen Mobai had purchased from Qing Nu was proving to be extremely valuable.
Chu Zuoshu: [Metal 8, Wood 39, Water 13, Fire 17, Earth 23.]
Seeing the Five Elements Spiritual Root Value displayed on the screen, Chen Mobai nodded slightly. The dual attributes True Spirit Root were quite normal and considered excellent talent in both the Tianhe Realm and the Immortal Gate.
Unfortunately, Chu Zuoshu had not cultivated a dual-phase technique and, like Meng Hong, focused solely on the Longevity Scripture. For the sake of quick progress in his realm advancement, he had consumed many elixirs, leading to an unstable foundation. Even with the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, his chances of Core Formation were not high.
However, outwardly, Chen Mobai still nodded at Chu Zuoshu.
Hong He: [Metal 12, Wood 19, Water 53, Fire 14, Earth 12.]
The second to have his Spiritual Root tested was Hong He, and indeed, as Chen Mobai’s previous chief disciple among the three thousand Qi Cultivation practitioners of the Divine Wood Sect, his Water Spirit Root talent was high enough to be called a genius.
It was a pity, however, that his Metal Spirit Root was average and he had not practiced a dual-phase technique. Moreover, he was affected by his environment, accumulating dan poison within his body.
Compared to Chu Zuoshu, Hong He’s situation was much better. Firstly, his talent was more exceptional and secondly, he was younger with enough time to treat the dan poison and purify his spiritual power,
“Hmm, not bad.”
Chen Mobai always adhered to an encouraging educational approach. After checking Hong He’s foundation, he smiled and nodded, then turned to the last person.
Yin Qingmei’s exquisitely made-up oval face was tinged with faint trepidation; she did not realize Chen Mobai was testing Spiritual Roots, thinking he was extracting spiritual power to check her cultivation level. Among the three present, her cultivation was the lowest.
She had only recently broken through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
For a Heavenly Spiritual Root, this pace was considered somewhat slow.
Despite her unease, Yin Qingmei still obediently extended her white jade-like right hand to pass a stream of Longevity Spiritual Power when she caught Elder Chen’s watchful eye.
Yin Qingmei: [Metal 3, Wood 82, Water 5, Fire 4, Earth 6.]
She was indeed a Heavenly Wood Spirit Root, and with just a bit of guidance, Core Formation should pose no problem.
Content with the numbers on the Spirit-Testing Instrument screen in his palm, Chen Mobai nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, Zhuo Ming, who had sent Gu Yan away, also returned.
Chen Mobai pointed to the cushion beside him, gesturing for his second disciple to sit down. Teaching one more was just as easy as teaching fewer, and since Zhuo Ming had the foundation from Hearing the Path Foundation Establishment, he too had the chance of reaching Core Formation in the future. It was good for him to listen now.
He first conveyed the Core Formation Insights inherited by the Divine Wood Sect in his own understanding and wording, then shared his personal experience. He also used the Water Controlling Technique to condense a small human model to give them the clearest understanding of the Core Formation process.
After discussing the Core Formation Insights, he began giving personalized guidance.
“Nephew Chu, you’ve reached the end of your peak years, so there’s no time for slowly purifying your spiritual power. Better to choose a suitable Body Training Technique and consume Spirit Rice to strengthen your physique.”
For Chu Zuoshu, Chen Mobai didn’t have a good solution either. After all, Chu’s cultivation journey over a hundred years, from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment, was riddled with elixir consumption and dan poison deeply fused with his Longevity Spiritual Power.
To eliminate the dan poison, he would have to sacrifice most of his lifelong cultivation level, which was simply not worth it.
It’s better to remain resolute and aim directly for Core Formation.
After all, there were successful examples like Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue. Plus, Chu Zuoshu also had the Golden Liquid Jade Pill, which could help him overcome this stage with the power of elixirs.
However, this meant that the transformation of body and Divine Sense was up to him.
Chen Mobai himself was not particularly adept with Divine Sense; it was Meng Huang who assisted him, coupled with the power of elixirs, to forcefully break through.
Only in terms of bodily strength did he have abundant experience, having spent considerable resources and time undergoing the process himself.
“Reporting to Elder Chen, after hearing your explanation about the three barriers of Foundation Establishment in Divine Wood City, I understood how important a strong body is for Core Formation. Therefore, I started the ‘Wooden Spiritual Body’ cultivation suitable for me, and have exhausted quite a few resources over the years to bring this Body Training Technique to the Foundation Establishment level. I wonder how much it will help with my Core Formation?”
Chu Zuoshu was straightforward; the Divine Wood Sect had numerous Body Training Techniques, but he could not cultivate the top-tier Wood Attribute Longevity Dao Body due to a lack of Longevity Tree Sap. Thus, he had no choice but to opt for the more common “Wood Spirit Body.”
The Wood Spirit Body was widely known in the Eastern Wilderness; even Loose Cultivators could access the Qi Cultivation portion of the method.
However, the part beyond Foundation Establishment was only available within the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness.
Chu Zuoshu chose this technique because the Wood Spirit Body could eventually be cultivated to Rank-3.
And conveniently, the Rank-3 Wood Spirit Body Cultivation Method was available in the Divine Wood Sect, suitable due to matching attributes. Zhou Shengqing had spent a lot of Spirit Stones to acquire it from an auction held by the East Barbarians.
Chu Zuoshu hoped to reach the Peak of Rank-2 before attempting Core Formation.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time. Even now, eating five meals of Spirit Rice daily and having concoctions from the Alchemy Department to assist in Body Training, he had only reached Rank-2.
“Wood Spirit Body, eh? It so happens I have 14 drops of Longevity Tree Sap left over from cultivating my Longevity Dao Body. Take it and refine it; it will boost your Wood Spirit Body to intermediate grade Rank-2. Whether you can reach the Peak of Rank-2 before Core Formation will depend on your luck.”
