Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2195: Chapter 2199: Refining Spiritual Power

The Origin Continent is where Pill Masters are most abundant; however, this abundance is only relative to the other four continents. Pill Masters are forever the most rare, most welcomed, and most revered profession in the Void Nether Realm!

Often, a high-ranked Pill Master can lead a force to rise swiftly. Every super power must inevitably have its own high-ranked Pill Master. Once a force loses its high-ranked Pill Master, it is destined to gradually weaken.

”Elixir Peak defines the ranks of Pill Masters, Elixirs, and Spirit Grass!?”

Jiang Chen’s eyes showed a trace of shock as he stared dumbfoundedly at Sang Zhenye.

”Yes!”

Sang Zhenye nodded heavily, a hint of yearning in his eyes: ”Elixir Peak is the land of cultivation that all Pill Masters in the Void Nether Realm dream of. It’s the holy land in every Pill Master’s heart. Within that Elixir Peak, there are countless Alchemy Dao heritages, and rumors even say that the Ten-Rank Pill God left his Alchemy Dao heritage on Elixir Peak!”

”Ten-Rank Pill God!”

Jiang Chen’s heart trembled violently; he felt an inexplicable yearning, as if he should ascend that Elixir Peak and seek out the Pill God!

”Young man, since you don’t want to break through your realm now, I won’t persuade you. The academy indeed needs the support from the main courtyard. The two wars have taken a heavy toll!”

Hu Yiqiu reached out and tapped Jiang Chen’s shoulder: ”However, there’s still a year before the entrance assessment for the main courtyard. During this year, you should seriously practice your Alchemy Dao!”

”Okay!”

Jiang Chen nodded vigorously.

”I’ve explained quite a bit; you might as well ask all your questions now so that when you go out, you won’t be clueless about basic things, and people won’t say I didn’t do a good job as a mentor.”

Hu Yiqiu said with a smile.

Jian Cangqiong and others cast a white-eyed gaze at Hu Yiqiu; isn’t that nonsense? What part of being a mentor have you done well? It’s like you’ve picked up a genius disciple for free; such good luck this old man has!

”Regarding the Cultivation Technique and...”

Jiang Chen did not hold back and asked about everything he didn’t understand.

The people around Hu Yiqiu were dumbfounded for a moment. They realized this young man truly had no understanding of the Void Nether Realm!

A few Late Integration Realm experts turned into school teachers for children, starting to impart basic knowledge even the Acquired and Innate Realm cultivators understand.

The Cultivation Technique levels of the Void Nether Realm were indeed as Li Yuan said, divided into Soul Martial and Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow four levels. But after detailed understanding, Jiang Chen found they differed from the Cultivation Technique ranks on Yuan Star.

The Cultivation Techniques on Yuan Star only defined ranks before the Divine Infant Realm, and even after Divine Infant Realm, they are divided this way. However, the only difference is that Soul Martial after the Divine Infant Realm is a false Soul Martial, and only a true Soul Martial is achieved during initial cultivation.

And true Soul Martial is extremely rare, possessed only by some super powers and first-rate powers.

In the Divine Infant Realm, Martial Soul can help cultivators comprehend the Great Dao, especially the Great Dao that aligns with Martial Soul, making it the easiest to comprehend.

The levels below Soul Martial are the four ranks of Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow.

Beyond the Divine Infant Realm, the distinction among these four levels is about how much they enhance Great Dao comprehension. Of course, some techniques focus on refining spiritual power, but techniques for refining spiritual power are much cheaper in the Void Nether Realm compared to the ones that increase Great Dao comprehension.

Although cultivators in the Unity Realm also spend time refining spiritual power, the time, effort, and energy spent refining spiritual power before the Unity Realm differ significantly. Few are willing to spend time refining spiritual power during the Divine Infant Realm or Void Refinement Realm.

Of course, this view is an exception for those possessing combat skills.

After understanding Cultivation Technique levels, Jiang Chen voiced a different viewpoint on the last point.

”I don’t believe that there is no need to refine spiritual power during the Divine Infant Realm or Void Refinement Realm!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen shook his head gently: ”If you still need to refine spiritual power in the Unity Realm, then why not start refining during the Divine Infant Realm?”

Jian Cangqiong and the others paused, exchanged glances.

”Young Jiang, indeed, in ancient times, some did cultivate this way, but later it was changed to uniform refining during the Unity Realm. Perhaps the descendants of ancient experts felt refining spiritual power did not play a big role, thus changing it!”

Hu Yiqiu gently advised.

Once again, Jiang Chen shook his head: ”No! Although when we unleash Great Dao attacks now, the enhancement from spiritual power is small, I have a feeling that if you continue refining, spiritual power can eventually provide quite a strong enhancement to Great Dao attacks!”

”You are right, indeed after the Unity Realm we refine spiritual power because it provides a significant enhancement to Great Dao attacks. But during the Divine Infant Realm and Void Refinement Realm, the enhancement from spiritual power is indeed much smaller.”

Hu Yiqiu spoke again: ”I understand your intent, but refining spiritual power to a level that noticeably enhances Great Dao attack takes a very long time. Refining spiritual power consumes spiritual power, and the tougher the spiritual power, the tougher the meridians. Although we require meridians to be tempered tougher, however...”

At this point, Hu Yiqiu’s tone changed: ”Too tough will impede the elevation of your realm strength. When breaking through, absorbing more spiritual power is necessary, but if your meridians are overly tough, they won’t be able to expand!”

Jiang Chen furrowed his brow, eyes showing a thoughtful expression.

Hu Yiqiu and the others exchanged glances, eyes showing a hint of worry. If Jiang Chen insists on this path, it could be a problem!

They wanted Jiang Chen to cultivate the Five Elements Demon Sealing Sword not for refining spiritual power now, but because his spiritual power was exceptionally strong and deep, intending it for when he enters the Void Refinement Realm!

”Teacher, does the academy have Heaven Rank techniques for refining spiritual power?”

Jiang Chen suddenly looked up at Jian Cangqiong.

Jian Cangqiong’s heart skipped a beat and quickly said: ”Jiang Chen, you’re not seriously thinking of refining spiritual power now, are you? Refining spiritual power now will greatly slow your cultivation progress and won’t enhance your combat strength much, it’s not worth it!”

”No, I just want to take a look.”

Jiang Chen spoke softly.

He intended to cultivate, but seeing the anxious demeanor of Jian Cangqiong and the others, he didn’t speak the truth.

He genuinely believes refining spiritual power now is the right decision; it’s similar to mastering control of strength.

Spiritual power is also one’s own strength. Once spiritual power is refined to a certain degree, the attacks unleashed, he believes, will be no weaker than Great Dao attacks!

”You can have a look, but don’t blindly cultivate. Those who advance this cultivation are those whose talents aren’t great, and whose Great Dao comprehension cannot progress, and thus cultivate before the Unity Realm.”

Jian Cangqiong gently advised, then regrettably said: ”The academy does not have Heaven Rank techniques for refining spiritual power; the best is only Earth Rank early-stage techniques. You can go to the Archive Pavilion to obtain them anytime.”
