Third Tier Spirit Field
The Return to Origin Secret Art is a spell that conceals one's cultivation level.
There are three layers in total. The first two layers are fine, but the third layer is a Small Void that hides spiritual energy in the world outside the body.
This is already similar to the Golden Core Domain of the Immortal Sect, except that the Return to Origin Secret Art involves carrying a spiritual energy pool with you, which has a relatively narrow range of uses.
However, this Return to Origin Secret Art is definitely helpful for the Golden Core Domain, so Chen Mobai plans to send his little apprentice to find the source of this secret technique and find the specific cultivation method for the third level.
In order to reach the Golden Core Domain, Chen Mobai also tried to comprehend the mysteries of the void using the Void Body, but this technique is extremely obscure and difficult to understand. If one relies on one's limited understanding to cultivate, it is easy to make mistakes.
Chen Mobai had been stationed in the Yan Kingdom for two years and had inquired about the Void Body from the local Cultivating Family. Unfortunately, even in the heart of the Mountain Shaking Peak, there were very few people who could cultivate this body-forging method, let alone outsiders.
If any members of the Ji Family are still alive, they might be able to find some Ancient Texts and annotations.
Fortunately, Chen Mobai had no interest in the cultivation techniques of the Sky River Realm. He would cultivate the Void Body if he could comprehend it, and leave it aside if he couldn't.
He also consulted Fu Zongjue, and following the latter's advice, he placed the chapters on the Void Body Qi Refining Realm that could be cultivated in the sect's Scripture Pavilion. In case a disciple with exceptional talent succeeded in cultivating it in the future, the subsequent cultivation methods would be passed on.
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter well for you."
After hearing this, Luo Yixuan said with a confident expression.
She has now successfully Foundation Establishment and is in the most inflated period of her life, believing that there is no place in the world that she cannot go.
"Well, wait until this year's Sect Grand Competition is over before you go out. Your master will also prepare some life-saving items for you."
Chen Mobai felt that the Eastern Wasteland was full of dangers, and his Foundation Establishment cultivation was barely enough to be considered presentable. Fortunately, after the sect war, he had condensed all of the Green Wood Sha into Azure Flame Sword Sha, and he could discard one of them to refine an "Azure Flame Sword Talisman" for Luo Yixuan.
With this, as long as she doesn't encounter Core Formation Cultivator, Luo Yixuan can basically roam freely in the Eastern Wasteland.
Besides the Sect Grand Competition, newly established sect disciples who have successfully completed their Foundation Establishment can seek opportunities in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.
Although Li Yixian also successfully Foundation Establishment, only Luo Yixuan was qualified because she had previously taken the Foundation Establishment.
Luo Yixuan was very much looking forward to it and kept asking Chen Mobai for all sorts of details.
"There's been some trouble with this secret realm lately."
Chen Mobai couldn't say that he had used the Purple Lightning Sword to slay the Great Dao Tree, but Luo Yixuan's words reminded him that this Divine Tree Secret Realm was of paramount importance to both the Divine Wood Sect and himself, and they couldn't just give up like that.
If the Turtle Treasure is used to teleport in, only his true form can enter, which is too dangerous.
However, the Divine Wood Sect possesses the Key to open the secret realm. If Fu Zongjue intervenes, the Transmission Department can open the secret realm, and then Chen Mobai can place his Formless Puppet inside to investigate the current situation within the secret realm.
If there's no danger, at least Luo Yixuan can go into the Magic Treasure Tree and Talent Tree to obtain her own opportunities.
Just then, Chen Mobai planned to cultivate the Longevity Dao Body, which required a lot of Longevity Tree Sap. His little disciple had Water Attribute Spiritual Root, and according to the rules of the Magic Treasure Tree, he might be able to open a gourd of it.
After hearing this, Luo Yixuan was also very surprised that the Divine Tree Secret Realm, which was the foundation of the sect, could have such an accident. But since it was Chen Mobai who said it, she obediently nodded and decided not to think about it for the time being.
"Junior sister, congratulations on your Foundation Establishment."
At this moment, Liu Wenbai and Zhuo Ming also came over to congratulate Luo Yixuan. The latter smiled reservedly, but still raised her glass very ladylike next to Chen Mobai.
"The eldest brother and the second sister will definitely succeed as well."
Luo Yixuan knew that her current success was entirely due to her becoming a disciple of Chen Mobai, so she still valued the Little South Mountain Lineage very much.
Chen Mobai was also very happy to drink a cup while watching the loving and harmonious scene of his three disciples.
The four of them celebrated for one night.
Early the next morning, Chen Mobai led the three of them to observe two acres of land at the foot of the mountain, where the soil was a much darker color than that of ordinary Spirit Field.
"These two acres of Spirit Field have finally absorbed all the buried Life Stone."
In the past, Chen Mobai killed Ai Tuo at the Mountain Shaking Peak and obtained two Third Grade Life Stone from his storage bag. After returning to the sect, he carefully selected two acres of Second Grade high-grade Spirit Field to bury them. Then he asked the experts of the Spiritual Vein Department to set up a dissipation and upgrade Restriction. Zhuo Ming would come to check on them from time to time.
It was by sheer chance that Zhuo Ming was able to begin cultivating the Nine Ren Dharma Body. It was during the upgrade of these two acres of Spirit Field that he sensed the burgeoning vitality of the Spirit Land, which entered his mind. He then sat quietly by these two acres of Spirit Field for three days and three nights, completing the transformation of his physical body and Body Forging Technique.
However, Zhuo Ming's Nine Ren Dharma Body was able to easily enter the first level because there was no shortage of Spirit Rice in Little South Mountain. Especially in the last five or six years, she had been eating first and Second Tier Spirit Rice every day, along with meat such as Spirit Fish Spirit Chicken, which nourished her body and made her blood and energy vigorous.
If it were another cultivator, they might fail during the breakthrough process due to insufficient essence in their physical body.
"My Earth Mother Technique has already sensed the transformation of these two acres of Spirit Field, but they still need the nourishment of the Little South Mountain Spirit Vein. Otherwise, these Third Grade Spirit Field may fall in grade during cultivation."
Over the years, Zhuo Ming has honed his skills to the point that he can be considered a semi- Earth Master of Spirit Field.
The Earth Mother Technique was so perfectly suited to her. Many times, her cultivation progressed on the Spirit Field and ley lines. It was as if the earth was pushing her forward, and the Spirit Plant and trees vied to bloom for her.
However, she herself was quite confused about this, and thought it was because the sect's Earth Vein Spiritual Energy, which was why she was able to easily make breakthroughs each time.
"Disperse all the Spirit Vein of this Little South Mountain and use them to cultivate Spirit Field."
Chen Mobai gave instructions to Zhuo Ming.
The Sixty Mu Spirit Field on Little South Mountain were originally experimental fields used by the Five Elements Sect to cultivate Third Tier Spirit Rice. Theoretically, they could all be upgraded to Third Grade Spirit Field.
However, because Chen Mobai needed to use the spiritual energy at the mountaintop to cultivate, and they did not have Third Tier Spirit Rice to cultivate, they only cultivated a portion that was Second Grade.
"Master, your cultivation is the most important thing. How can you delay your use of spiritual energy because of this?"
Zhuo Ming, who was usually obedient, shook her head at this moment. She had only intended to borrow a little bit of Third Grade spiritual energy to maintain the two acres of newly upgraded Third Grade Spirit Field.
After hearing this, Liu Wenbai and Luo Yixuan also offered the same advice, since in the Eastern Wasteland, one's own cultivation level is the most important thing.
"The two ancestors bestowed the Longevity Wood upon me as a place for cultivation. I no longer need the Spirit Vein of Little South Mountain."
Chen Mobai's casual remark shocked his three disciples.
That was Fourth Tier High-grade Spirit Vein that only Core Formation Ancestors could occupy, but unexpectedly it was bestowed upon their master, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Even the naive Zhuo Ming understood what this meant.
"Master, are you about to Core Formation?"
"It's alright, but it still needs some polishing."
Chen Mobai didn't say it outright, lest his three disciples get too excited.
However, the fact that he possessed the Longevity Wood as a training ground still made Liu Wenbai and the other two very happy.
Knowing that Chen Mobai was no longer cultivating at Little South Mountain, Zhuo Ming could confidently upgrade all the Spirit Field at the foot of Little South Mountain to Second Grade superior grade.
There are two ways to upgrade Spirit Field to the Third Grade: one is to nurture it with the Earth Vein Spiritual Energy over many years, and the other is to use earth-type spiritual objects such as Life Stone.
"Later, I will post a task at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to purchase Life Stone."
Chen Mobai naturally preferred the Life Stone, hoping to upgrade his Spirit Field to the Third Grade as soon as possible so he could cultivate the Third Tier Spirit Rice more quickly.
The price of this Life Stone is around three to four thousand Spirit Stone. If we want to upgrade all the remaining fifty-eight acres of Spirit Field to the Third Grade, it will cost about two hundred thousand Spirit Stone.
For Chen Mobai, this was an acceptable cost.
He took his three disciples to Divine Wood City, found the elder in charge of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, and learned that there were five Life Stone in the sect's treasury, which could be exchanged for 3,500 contribution points.
Chen Mobai naturally exchanged them all, and then used the same contribution points or Spirit Stone to buy up the Life Stone over the long term.
It turns out that there are indeed some good people among the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.
The task had just been posted when two Qi Cultivation Disciple accepted it.
Unfortunately, after Zhuo Ming's appraisal, he found that only one piece was usable. The other piece had lost too much of its Earth Vein Spiritual Energy, and he didn't know why. If he used it to upgrade the Spirit Field, it might not be successful.
"Sigh, at first I thought it was a special Spirit Stone, and since I cultivate the Earth Technique, I absorbed some of the Earth Vein Spiritual Energy from the ore. Later, after someone appraised it, I realized it was a precious Life Stone, so I stopped..."
The Divine Wood Sect disciple who came to exchange the ore looked dejected. He had also participated in the battle that destroyed the Mountain Shaking Peak and had unexpectedly obtained the ore from a storage bag, but due to his limited knowledge, he had mishandled it.
Because it contains gentle Earth Vein Spiritual Energy, the Life Stone can also be absorbed as Spirit Stone, but the spiritual energy contained in this one Spirit Stone is only equivalent to five or six Mid-grade Spirit Stone.
Direct absorption is a huge waste compared to the selling price.
"It's about 50% intact, but the gap has been opened. Although it's been sealed off, the Earth Vein Spiritual Energy is still slowly leaking out. If you want to sell it, I can buy it for 800 Spirit Stone."
Zhuo Ming's ears suddenly twitched as she received Telepathic Message from Chen Mobai, and then she spoke.
The Divine Wood Sect disciple wanted to sell for more, but Zhuo Ming was a poor Rogue Cultivator, so how could he let him make a profit? The two bargained for a while and finally settled on a price of 835 Spirit Stone.
After the transaction was completed, the Divine Wood Sect disciple who received the Spirit Stone hurriedly left, while Zhuo Ming took two Life Stone upstairs, where Chen Mobai and Luo Yixuan were.
"Master, the Earth Vein Spiritual Energy of this Life Stone is insufficient. If it is buried in the Spirit Field, it may not be able to complete the upgrade process?"
Zhuo Ming was somewhat confused, but Chen Mobai smiled slightly, took the used Life Stone in his palm, examined it for a while, and then gave it to Zhuo Ming.
"I have a guess. We shouldn't use this Life Stone to upgrade the Spirit Field. You Earth Mother Technique to absorb it."
"Master, isn't this too wasteful?"
Zhuo Ming felt a pang of heartache, but under Chen Mobai's orders, she could only nod in agreement helplessly. However, the spiritual energy contained in this Life Stone was a bit too much for her, Qi Cultivation Cultivator, and it might take her a whole month to absorb it all.
"You can absorb the Spell Duel while you're fighting during the Sect Grand Competition."
After Chen Mobai finished speaking, he first had Zhuo Ming transfer a stream of spiritual energy to him to record her current Spirit Root Attribute.
"Take this Divine Wood Shield."
Finally, to ensure there would be no unexpected events during the Zhuo Ming Sect Grand Competition, Chen Mobai gave her a Second Grade high-grade defensive magic Magic Artifact, so that even if she faced Second Tier Magic Tool, she would have the ability to protect herself.
"Thank you, Master!"
Zhuo Ming happily accepted it. Chen Mobai also lent Liu Wenbai the Gold Jade Axe, but with his cultivation level, he could probably only unleash a single axe strike at most. He was still trying to practice with the Magic Artifact.
"You take care of them, and I'll go explore the Divine Tree Secret Realm for you first."
After arranging for his two apprentices, Chen Mobai gave instructions to Luo Yixuan, who naturally stood tall and proud, indicating that she would definitely take good care of her senior brother and sister.
As the foundation of the Divine Wood Sect Divine Tree Secret Realm would cause great distress to the two patriarchs if something were to happen to it.
So when Chen Mobai mentioned it, Fu Zongjue came over in person.
Lu Yi, the Minister of the Transmission Department, dared not appear weak in front of the ancestor. With a ruddy complexion, he activated the Wooden Sword and opened the portal to the Divine Tree Secret Realm.
"Let's use the two of us to go in and Puppetry ahead."
After Fu Zongjue speaking, he used a very ordinary Azure Sun Puppet to step into the secret realm first. Then Chen Mobai also used his newly created first-tier Puppetry to follow him in.
The Formless Puppet was too advanced; he was afraid that Fu Zongjue, a Puppetry master, would see through its disguise.
After entering the Divine Tree Secret Realm, the two found that nothing had changed.
Chen Mobai led Fu Zongjue toward the Magic Treasure Tree to avoid being discovered by him of the traces of raising snakes and cutting down trees here.
The Magic Treasure Tree and Talent Tree are the same as usual.
So the two flew toward the last Great Dao Tree.
The mark left by the Purple Lightning Sword was clearly visible from a distance. The once majestic and towering Longevity Wood had been cut with a thick and long sword mark, which made it easy to imagine how huge the wound must have been. But now the wound had completely healed.
This terrifying regenerative power deeply shocked Chen Mobai, who had witnessed the giant purple sword being pierced through the ground.
