I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1438: Chapter 761: Expressing Intentions (7K) Chapter 1438: Chapter 761: Expressing Intentions (7K) Qing Nu looked at the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple on the mountaintop, still with large patches of scorched bark, and as Chen Mobai spoke of the Heavenly Tribulation, Dead Wood Meets Spring, Water of Ten Thousand Transformations, and so on, she couldn’t help but reveal a look of astonishment in her eyes.

“Why would there be Heavenly Tribulations in this world?”

Chen Mobai briefly shared his conjecture—the Heavenly Tribulation is a manifestation of disaster formed by the condensation of nature’s spiritual energy. And because all the spiritual energy of the Immortal Gate is controlled by the Celestial Canopy and Earthly Network, it would not generate Heavenly Tribulations.

“Does that mean that the Immortal Gate is special, and all other different worlds outside the Immortal Gate should have Heavenly Tribulations?”

Qing Nu asked again. Chen Mobai thought for a moment and shook his head; he could not provide an answer.

“It is also possible that the Tianhe Realm is unique. Maybe the rest of the worlds, apart from this one, do not have Heavenly Tribulations.”

The two left the question at that. Should a third different world come along for verification, they would likely find the answer.

Qing Nu was a distinguished graduate of Jumang Academy. Although she didn’t master All Things Spiritual Communication or Echoes in the Void, her own expertise as a Rank-3 Spirit Plant Master was already sufficient. After Chen Mobai informed her of various details regarding the care of the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, she would have no problem tending to it.

Afterward, Chen Mobai deployed the Wooden House Talisman, which he placed on the summit of Mount Tianpeng.

He also set up a Cloud Mist Array to envelop the area, protecting his and Qing Nu’s privacy.

For the next month, Chen Mobai also stayed on Mount Tianpeng, mainly to accompany Qing Nu as she adapted to the new environment.

While taking care of the Five-Cornered Ancient Maple, Liu Jingxian, the Patriarch Liu, paid a visit.

He brought along ten Azure Blood Carps, following Chen Mobai’s request.

The eldest disciple had gone to Dongwu, and apart from seeking heterodox Golden Cores, he was also looking into ways to expand the business routes of the Little Nan Mountain Shop.

Since both Tianpeng Mountain and the Liu family were located in Cloud County, Chen Mobai directly asked Liu Jingxian to deliver the fish.

Chen Mobai had consumed the Azure Blood Carp multiple times before, totaling an increase of 8 points to his Water Spirit Root.

Consuming more afterward proved to be useless.

“So it turns out that the fish I ate back then came from here. But, no, if the Azure Blood Carp can enhance the Water Spirit Root, why didn’t my Spirit Root show any change during the academy entrance test after consuming it so many times?”

Atop Mount Tianpeng, after trying a mouthful of the fish stewed by Chen Mobai, Qing Nu revealed a look of sudden realization but then asked with confusion.

“For each Azure Blood Carp, only after a single cultivator has consumed the entire thing can it enhance the Water Spirit Root. The more people who eat it, the more the effect is diluted. That is why even if you eat it several times, you cannot complete the full effect to enhance your Spiritual Root.”

Chen Mobai smiled upon hearing this and explained the reason.

He was prudent; after learning about the Azure Blood Carp’s effect, he ate it with his parents. Later, he checked with the Spirit-Testing Instruments and found this particular detail.

“So that’s how it is. No wonder every time you invited me to eat fish, you were also bringing along your classmates like Yan Bingxuan.”

After hearing the explanation, Qing Nu finally understood why, back in Red Sandstone City, whenever she and Chen Mobai had their delightful dates, he would always bring along third wheels like Yan Bingxuan.

“According to my experience, each Azure Blood Carp can permanently enhance the Water Spirit Root by 1 point. I’ll use the Spirit-Testing Instruments to test you again tomorrow.”

The next day, Chen Mobai took special initiative to find the old model of Spirit-Testing Instruments, which he hadn’t used for a long time, from his Storage Bag.

“Do you still remember? You sold this to me back then. Although its response is quite slow now, I’ve always kept it.”

Seeing the severely aged Spirit-Testing Instruments in Chen Mobai’s hand, Qing Nu was deeply touched and couldn’t help but throw herself into his embrace once again.

Enjoying the warm touch of her delicate body, Chen Mobai took hold of Qing Nu’s snow-white right hand, letting her channel Spiritual Power into it.

Several minutes later, the screen of the Spirit-Testing Instruments displayed the values of the Five Elements Spiritual Root.

[Gold 4, Wood 8, Water 82, Fire 1, Earth 23].

The typical value of a Heavenly Water Spirit Root, yet the total sum reached 118 points, which astonished Chen Mobai.

“When I first entered the academy, I had thoughts about Lasting Spring Cultivation, so I practiced the Earth Gathering Art, and later, wishing to be as renowned as you, I did not give up and had cultivated it to the Ninth Layer.”

Qing Nu, nestled in Chen Mobai’s arms, spoke with a hint of pride.

In the resource-deprived environment of the Immortal Gate, being able to cultivate the Earth Gathering Art to the Ninth Layer showed tremendous diligence.

Judging by the time, she certainly never neglected this Spirit Root Enhancement Technique since her Foundation Establishment.

“Not bad at all, keep it up. The Eastern Wilderness here also contains Qi of Dragon Vein. I will ask my two disciples to gather materials later on, and then you can try refining a batch of Earth Veins Elixir for consumption.”

In reality, Chen Mobai had surplus Earth Veins Elixir, but according to Immortal Gate standards, these were not up to par, and he planned to leave them for Zhuo Ming, as there was no need to worry about Dan Poison with Green Charm Spiritual Tea available.

But if Qing Nu could refine Earth Veins Elixir without Dan Poison, why bother consuming his substandard products?

“I’m afraid that even with Earth Veins Elixir, to raise my Earth Spirit Root to over 80 points would at least require Core Formation, probably even Nascent Soul Realm.”

At that moment, Qing Nu also realized why Chen Mobai wanted her to apply to view the original Lasting Spring Cultivation text—clearly, he hoped she would succeed in practice.

But a Three-Element Heavenly Spiritual Root, truly, was extremely difficult to achieve.
