I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 468: Chapter 331 Consuming Tree Fruit_2

Compared to the countable liquid spiritual power at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment mentioned in the Pure Yang Scroll, the Divine Wood Sect uses approximations.

Basically, when you feel that your Dantian Qi Sea has been filled with spiritual power and can no longer condense and elevate, you can start breaking through.

Whether the breakthrough will be successful depends entirely on fate.

If you overcome the bottleneck, your Dantian will expand, allowing you to condense and store more spiritual power. If not, one must heal the damage to the Dantian and try breaking through again after nourishment and recovery.

In contrast, the experts of the Immortal World have standardized the pattern and the amount of spiritual power required for each breakthrough.

These are outcomes of endless experiments, and they represent the easiest way to break through and the way that minimally damages the body and divine sense, even if the breakthrough fails.

Take the Pure Yang Scroll as an example.

15 drops of liquid spiritual power signify the successful foundation establishment, and when you accumulate 30 drops, you can begin the breakthrough to the second level.

45 drops correspond to the third level.

However, the bottleneck between the third and fourth layers is relatively harder. A slight increase requires 70 drops of liquid spiritual energy.

But as the Dantian Qi Sea has expanded twice at the second and third levels, the original major bottlenecks have already been broken twice, making the breakthrough much easier.

At 70, 90, and 110 drops correspond to the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels of the Pure Yang Scroll’s Foundation Establishment, respectively.

At 150, 180, and 210 drops correspond respectively to the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of the Pure Yang Scroll’s Foundation Establishment.

Upon reaching perfection in Foundation Establishment, unless one is innately physically weak or suffers from early Yuan Yang leakage, everyone will have 240 drops of liquid spiritual power.

In comparison, the level of Foundation Establishment perfection in the Longevity Scroll is equivalent to the seventh or eighth level of the Pure Yang Scroll’s Foundation Establishment.

Based on Chen Mobai’s current cultivation speed of 5 drops every 3 years, if every breakthrough is successful, he could theoretically reach the fourteenth level of Foundation Establishment perfection in the Longevity Scroll in about 100 years.

His Wood Spirit Root is still somewhat inadequate.

This is because he has the luxury of abundant spirit stone resources of the Divine Wood Sect. If he adds the time spent on Cultivating Pure Yang Scroll and the Pure Yang Daoist Body, Chen Mobai feels that his current lifespan of 300 years may just allow him to attempt Core Formation once at the peak of his physical energy and blood.

That’s why Chen Mobai was so excited about obtaining the Tree Fruit of Longevity, which could save him time.

This fruit could save him a hundred years of hard work.

First, he wants to reach perfection in the Foundation Establishment of the Longevity Scroll, then use the Spiritual Artifact Cultivation Method to boost the realm of the Pure Yang Scroll. In this way, he is confident that he can attempt core formation before he turns 100.

Even if the first attempt fails, he will have another hundred years at his peak to keep trying.

If he’s short on resources in the Immortal World, he can think of a solution in the Tianhe Realm. Worst case scenario, he could eat Spirit Void flowers and Break Void Mushrooms raw, just like Meng Hong.

As long as he tries enough times, he’ll eventually succeed.

With a clear plan in mind, Chen Mobai returned to the Immortal World.

First, he visited the Crimson City Cave.

He and Yu Rulin had agreed on the purchase of Longevity Elixirs. A business transaction worth over four million Good Deed Points was no small matter, even for two Foundation Establishment cultivators who are heads of their own Daoist Academies. They both needed to be cautious.

However, as per Chen Mobai’s request, he didn’t need an invoice for this transaction.

In other words, he didn’t want any points. This way, the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute didn’t need to pay taxes, saving a considerable amount of Good Deed Points.

Yu Rulin wasn’t surprised by this, as many who purchased the Longevity Elixir from their institution didn’t wish to let others know they were shortening their lifespans. Some were on the brink of death, trying desperately to extend their lives by wasting Good Deed Points. To keep their families from finding out, they also requested confidentiality in the transactions and didn’t publicize their accounts.

Chen Mobai’s mass purchase of such life-extending elixirs might not have been possible if he hadn’t given the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute a heads-up to start producing the Longevity Pills in advance.

“Senior Brother Chen, here are your elixirs. Please take care of them.”

Yu Rulin handed a two-layered long wooden box to Chen Mobai. Upon opening, he found thirty Lifespan Extension Pills on the top layer and thirty Longevity Pills on the bottom.

Each pill was individually packaged, very simple.

Chen Mobai carefully opened one Life Extension Pill and Longevity Pill to inspect.

“The transaction is complete, you should check,”

After confirming that there was no issue with the pills, Chen Mobai also instructed his mother to transfer the Good Deed Points to the Life-Extension Cultivation Institute’s account.

Yu Rulin waited a moment before receiving the deposit confirmation sent by the institute’s finance manager. He wore a pleased expression, having benefited considerably from this large transaction. More so because it did not count towards his points total, allowing him to receive more.

That being said, Chen Mobai was not at a disadvantage, as without invoice, the original total of over four million Good Deed Points was now just over three million six hundred thousand.

If the Life Extension Cultivation Institute had to pay tax, then Chen Mobai would earn points, but he would also have to shoulder the payment’s overhead.

By not going through official channels now, neither party needed to pay tax to the Immortality Gate.

It was a win-win situation.

In truth, were it not for his desire to keep his purchase of Longevity Elixir a secret, Chen Mobai would be more than willing to pay tax in exchange for points. After all, he could exchange those points for good things from the Immortality Gate.

After having coffee with Yu Rulin, the two contentedly parted ways.

Chen Mobai pondered a moment, and took the box of Longevity Elixir with him back to Giant Tree Ridge.

After all, he didn’t know exactly what would happen when he used the Tree Fruit to make his breakthrough. If any unusual signs or fluctuations exposed him back at the Immortal Gate, it would be difficult to explain.

He decided to first try the small fruit from Yan Jinye.

Xiao Nanshan also had a Rank-3 high-grade Spirit Vein, combined with the Spirit Gathering Array he borrowed from Yunyang Bing, it could be enhanced to a Rank-4 Spirit Vein in a short time, not inferior to the environment at the Daoist Academy.

Moreover, the whole Xiao Nanshan’s Spirit Vein belonged exclusively to him, so he didn’t have to worry about the Spirit Energy supply being cut off by the Academy’s administrator, should they notice that the Gathering Array was drawing too much energy.

Before using the Tree Fruit, Chen Mobai thoroughly examined the situation of his breakthrough to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage through the Eternal Life Sutra with his formless puppet. After confirming that there would be no problems, he took a deep breath and bit open the outer shell of the fruit.

In that instant, an indescribable overflow of vitality burst from within the fruit like a galaxy pouring into his body. Brought along with it was a tremendous energy flow that surged throughout his entire body.

Chen Mobai felt as if his five viscera, six bowels, and twelve normal meridians were being steeped in a warm current, undergoing a rapid transformation. The circulating longevity spiritual power in his body was forming like dewdrops. For each complete Grand Circulation, a drop would form in his Dantian Qi sea.

The two intermediate-grade Spirit Stones in his hand were quickly drained, turning into white powder and dispersed.

But Chen Mobai had prepared for this, the Spirit Gathering Array specially made by Yunyang Bing was activated. The spiritual energy density at the top of Xiao Nanshan was immediately elevated to Rank-4 lower-grade.

Streams of extremely pure spiritual energy, like colorful rays of light, flowed into Chen Mobai’s body, where he transformed them into drops of longevity spiritual power.

Zhuo Ming, who was weeding at the foot of the mountain, felt a slight decline in earth energy and looked up in confusion.

Then, she saw a white vortex emerge suddenly over the mountain peak that was always enshrouded in mist. It devoured and swept away the surrounding spiritual energy, faintly emitting colorful lights. It seemed like a pool of colorful clouds was surging on the mountaintop, or a colorful sun was slowly rising, casting rainbow glimmers. It was incredibly dazzling and beautiful.

At this time, Luo Yixuan also returned.

Before Chen Mobai’s seclusion, he had asked her to bring the hired mortals and lower-level Qi Cultivators cultivating in Xiao Nanshan to Small Yang Ridge to avoid anyone finding out about any unusual signs during his breakthrough.

However, this was always the custom here in the Tianhe realm. When Ji Zhenshi made a breakthrough to the late-Core Formation stage, he was also very secretive, intending to surprise his opponents. However, he didn’t expect to encounter Zhou Shengqing and Mo Douguang and almost got killed.

Before his seclusion this time, Chen Mobai told Luo Yixuan that there might be some disturbances. She was very happy, thinking that the master trusted her the most since he entrusted such an important task to her.

In fact, it was because Zhuo Ming was good at farming but not proficient at handling such matters, so he entrusted the task to Luo Yixuan.

On the mountain peak, Chen Mobai’s longevity spiritual power quickly increased to 35 drops, but that wasn’t close to enough.

Having grown up consuming Spirit Rice, his Innate Yuan Qi was plentiful, and the minimum standard clearly wasn’t enough.

At this point, Chen Mobai could feel his lifespan starting to dwindle.
