I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 654: Chapter 408: Solution to the Third Tribulation of the Gold Core_1

“[I would like to purchase a drop of Rank-3 Green Snake Essential Blood. Do you happen to know someone, senior?]”

After establishing contact with Lan Haitian, Chen Mobai exchanged pleasantries for a moment, and immediately stated his purpose, not daring to waste the time of a Gold Core expert.

“[Indeed, I do. But I presume this matter might be challenging.]”

As a notable graduate of the Kunpeng Daoist Institute over the past few decades, and having worked in the Heaven Mending Faction for sixty years, Lan Haitian’s network was far broader than Chen Mobai’s.

He indeed knew a senior from his own institute who had bred a Rank-3 Green Snake. However, that senior himself was also a Gold Core master, and had raised the Green Snake like his wife from an ordinary vegetable snake.

Although the laws of the Immortal Realm forbade interspecies marriages, that Gold Core cultivator named Xu Yanhe still conducted a Daoist marriage ritual with the Green Snake after it had transformed, inviting several friends as witnesses.

...
Despite being unlicensed and a Gold Core cultivator himself, the Immortal Gate turned a blind eye to it, pretending they were unaware.

“[This…]”

After hearing Lan Haitian’s introduction, Chen Mobai felt his youthful spirit being greatly shocked again.

Compared to these senior cultivators who’ve lived for hundreds of years, he, still a youngster in school, has indeed seen too little.

This incident couldn’t help but remind him of the various love-hate stories between human cultivators and beautiful spirits that he saw in dramas during his childhood. He had initially thought they were made up, but it turns out they were actually based on reality.

“[The Green Snake Fairy is Master Xu Yanhe’s Dao partner. I’m afraid it may be impossible to get a drop of her essential blood.]”

After explaining the situation of the Gold Core cultivator, Lan Haitian gently tried to dissuade him.

Thinking about it, if someone came to ask for a drop of your wife’s essential blood, Chen Mobai definitely would not agree either.

“[Many thanks for the information.]”

After hearing Lan Haitian’s explanation, Chen Mobai temporarily gave up the idea of pursuing the Green Snake Essential Blood.

The extreme north and south are the two farthest Fairy Grottos from the Immortal Gate, located at the two poles of the Planet of Primordial Elements, and only the Core Formation cultivators have the ability to travel there freely.

“[Oh right, I have an Ice Spirit Root friend who hasn’t had his Foundation Establishment yet. Is the Water Mist Ice Crystal, a kind of spiritual object, sold in the extreme north Fairy Grotto?]”

Just as Chen Mobai was about to exit the conversation interface with Lan Haitian, he suddenly remembered Yan Bingxuan’s situation. There are two types of spiritual objects that can increase the success rate of her Foundation Establishment.

Among them, Water Mist Ice Crystal can be obtained only from the depths of the Extreme Cold Sea Area at the two polar Fairy Grottos. He couldn’t help but shamelessly ask again.

“[I’m not sure about that, but I’ll ask around when I have the time.]”

In the Fairy Grotto of the extreme north, there are very few cultivators from the Immortal Gate. After all, the conditions are harsh and you need to wait many years to return if you haven’t reached the Core Formation stage.

Due to this reason, even though the two poles are the widest Fairy Grottos in the territory of the Immortal Gate, there are often no signs of life for millions of miles.

Lan Haitian was also unsure about the situation of the Water Mist Ice Crystal as he had found a place with rich aurora and Yuan Magnetic Force outside of Heaven, using the Star Concentrating Stone given to him by the Dance Tool Dao Academy to cast his own destiny Magic Artifact.

Chen Mobai thanked him again and didn’t disturb him any further.

After finishing his conversation with Lan Haitian, Chen Mobai immediately went online to search for information about Xu Yanhe, the one who became Dao partners with the Green Snake.

Each Gold Core cultivator in the Immortal Gate has a standalone encyclopedia, and he was no exception.

Xu Yanhe, headmaster of the Spiritual Controlling Institute.

The encyclopedia proceeded with his career timeline from Qi Cultivation to Gold Core, and it mentioned he possessed a Rank-3 Green Snake Spirit Beast, but not about him being Dao partners with the Green Snake.

After all, this matter was somewhat disgraceful. Therefore, it was normal to harmonize it off for the sake of a Gold Core cultivator’s dignity.

Chen Mobai couldn’t help but think about the Devouring Heaven Serpent that he raised in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.

It seemed to resemble the other side of Yang Jing. When transformed, would she look like Yang Jing? Wasn’t there a drama named ‘Under the Qingcheng Mountain’ in his childhood, telling the story between humans and snake spirits?

As Chen Mobai thought about it and associated it with Xu Yanhe and the Green Snake becoming Dao partners, his thoughts inadvertently diverged to places he shouldn’t be considering, causing him to shake his head vigorously.

“[Why do I keep thinking about these things that affect my Daoist heart recently?]”

Within his sigh, Chen Mobai felt that his heart was affected because he had opened up such thoughts due to his transaction with Meng Huang.

However, his breakthrough in the Divine Sense bottleneck this time was indeed thanks to Meng Huang.

At this thought, Chen Mobai sat in the Cultivation Room.

The Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion had already been partly opened. Streams of refreshing energy overflowed from the jade-green paulownia manifested by his Divine Sense, starting to surge towards the newly opened part of the Sea of Knowledge.

These were the Divine Senses he had accumulated over the past year by taking the Rank-3 Snow Needle Immortal Buds. But since he was previously at a bottleneck where there was no room for growth of the Divine Sense, he condensed them into fruits as storage.

Now that the bottleneck was broken and more than half of the Purple Palace Sea of Knowledge was opened, these Divine Senses finally had a place to utilize.

Under Chen Mobai’s Divine Manipulation Technique, new green paulownia seedlings fell on the fringes of the newly opened Purple Palace.

The bottleneck of the Divine Sense is just like the bottleneck of the Spiritual Power. It won’t regress until it’s fully broken. In the process of breakthrough, if one’s own foundation is insufficient, or there’s some accidental magical battle, there’s a possibility of failing the breakthrough.
