Relying on just one Primordial Spirit to cultivate the Silversteel Demon-Subduing Ring and refine the Buddha Tungsten Silver Leaves would take far too long.
"Primordial Spirit—right, I nearly forgot about that." Lu Xiaotian slapped his forehead. Didn't he still have the Soul-Splitting Secret Art? He had split his spirit once during Qi Refining and tried twice during Foundation Establishment. He had taken the risk those two times because he needed to form a formation core through the Five Elements Technique to reach the Golden Core. Since he had cultivated the art quite a few times during Foundation Establishment, he had avoided it during the Golden Core stage, lest his Primordial Spirit suffer irreparable damage.
Now he had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, and his Primordial Spirit was far stronger than before. But the higher one's realm, the harder it became to cultivate this art. Lu Xiaotian had already experienced the benefits of splitting his Primordial Spirit. Remembering the agony made him shudder, but he was still sorely tempted.
He would need to refine some pills to restore his Primordial Spirit first. And with only five days until the celebration of his Nascent Soul breakthrough, there wasn't enough time to recover after splitting it. He would have to wait until after the ceremony.

That was hardly unacceptable. Nascent Soul Cultivators typically lived around twelve hundred years, though there were exceptions: those with weaker life force might live less, while others might live longer. There
