I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2363 - 1067: Secret Anecdotes (2)

"Has your Sect never considered the possibility of breeding Fifth Rank True Spirits?"

Chen Mobai raised this inquiry. Since the primary components for the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill are the essence blood of demonic beasts, it felt somewhat wasteful to him, given his background from the Immortal Gate.

"Sect Master Chen might be unaware, but this specific alchemy recipe was developed from the ancient Great Dao Pill. To produce the necessary auxiliary effects for Divinity Transformation, one must refine the Power of the Great Dao inherent within the True Spirit Bloodline."

"My Sect actually attempted the strategy you mentioned a long time ago. We even dispatched several generations of Divinity Transformation True Monarchs to the Central State to seek guidance from the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect. We did, in fact, succeed in domesticating two Fifth Rank True Spirits."

"However, it was discovered that the Power of the Great Dao within a True Spirit Bloodline is finite. After the initial extraction, any subsequent essence blood—even if it still contains traces of the Power of the Great Dao—only yields twenty to thirty percent of the original potency when refined into the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill. Consequently, the auxiliary benefit for Divinity Transformation becomes almost non-existent."

After hearing this explanation, Chen Mobai inquired further regarding the Great Dao Pill.

This time, the response came from Yuan Zhen.

While these facts were common knowledge among the high-ranking members of the Eastern Continent Holy Lands, this was the first time Chen Mobai had heard them, and a look of realization dawned on his face.

"I understand now."

Within this region of the Tianhe Realm, most pills associated with Divinity Transformation are derived from the Great Dao Pill.

The Heavenly Spirit Pill belonging to the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect follows this same principle.

The Great Dao Pill, however, is excessively potent. Regardless of a True Spirit's strength or grade, only a single pill can ever be refined from one creature.

This was considered too inefficient by the Holy Lands of the Tianhe Realm, prompting the creation of more sustainable recipes like the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill.

Despite this, Chen Mobai still perceived it as a waste of resources.

He mused that if he could acquire the alchemy recipe and have Yuan Xu or others from the Immortal Gate conduct research on it, they might be able to reduce the costs and enhance the efficiency.

Unfortunately, such an alchemy recipe represents the foundational lifeblood of the Dao Morale Sect.

Even asking about it would likely trigger their intense suspicion.

He currently possessed the Divinity Transformation Pill Recipe from the Jellyfish Palace. In an ideal world, he would trade it, as both the Nine Heavens Morality Sect and the Dao Morale Sect were better suited for the Water Attribute Taiyi Three Pills.

Regrettably, such a suggestion could never be made public.

Revealing it would mean risking pursuit by the Jellyfish Palace, the preeminent power in the Tianhe Realm.

With these concerns in mind, Chen Mobai forced himself to suppress his ideas.

Nevertheless, Yuan Zhen did mention that the Nine Heavens Morality Sect held the Great Dao Pill alchemy recipe. It had remained sealed and neglected for ages due to its inefficiency and other specific reasons.

He contemplated finding a way to organize an exchange with the Nine Heavens Morality Sect in the future.

Because the Dao Morale Sect had been a reliable neighbor, the Nine Heavens Morality Sect had not invested heavily in training top-tier alchemists for several millennia, causing the recipe to be shelved long ago.

Chen Mobai was confident that with the help of Qing Nu or the advanced research capabilities of the Immortal Gate, obtaining the Great Dao Pill recipe would likely pave the way for reverse-engineering the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill.

"As we begin this venture, we must not ignore the worth of other treasures. Many areas within the Ruins have never been touched by man and contain numerous precious Spiritual Medicines and materials that would benefit our Cultivation."

At that moment, Zhang Pankong shifted the conversation toward utilizing the exploration to gather resources.

The individuals gathered there possessed some of the most prestigious backgrounds among Nascent Soul cultivators in the Eastern Continent.

Provided they did not act excessively, the Three Great Sacred Lands would not interfere with their gains.

Once the meeting concluded, Chen Mobai spoke with Yuan Zhen while traveling before departing with the Little Yellow Dragon Girl to return to the Five Elements Sect camp.

After a brief explanation of the exploration guidelines, Chen Mobai led King Zhou and several other Golden Core cultivators to Dongling Immortal City to coordinate with the representatives of the Dao Morale Sect.

From that point forward, King Zhou was entrusted with managing all matters, whether significant or minor, regarding the exploration.

Naturally, the responsibility for military drills and combat remained with Duan Shuyu.

Chen Mobai utilized his Second Primeval Spirit to inspect the Kun Position territories assigned to the Five Elements Sect, creating a highly detailed map while cataloging the various demonic beast factions and the grades of the Spirit Veins.

Though Dongling Immortal City acted as the primary headquarters, the rewards of the exploration were measured by the territory covered. Therefore, Chen Mobai intended to build a separate Immortal City for the Five Elements Sect to serve as a garrison and logistics hub.

Utilizing his expertise in formations and the assistance of his Second Primeval Spirit, he could potentially establish a Fifth Rank Formation as his influence over the Spirit Veins grew.

However, he realized that doing so might make his enemies too intimidated to strike.

Consequently, after picking a site for the center of the Immortal City, he merely set up a superior fourth-rank formation, masking it to appear as though it only possessed medium to low fourth-rank power.

Even so, his precautions seemed unnecessary.

Once the Yi Yuan Dao Palace and the Burning Heaven Meridians learned the specific exploration rules, they followed his lead. They moved their Sect armies to fourth-rank Spirit Veins outside Dongling Immortal City, setting up camps and dispatching disciples to investigate the demonic beast presence in their target zones.

Furthermore, these powers began a desperate recruitment drive.

Despite the ten thousand elite cultivators they had brought, the sheer scale of the Ruins meant they could not possibly monitor the entire territory.

Consequently, the small factions and loose cultivators who were previously ignored suddenly became highly sought after.

Among the groups, the Star Heaven Dao Sect gathered the most experts, as they offered Three Lights Divine Water as payment, effectively recruiting nearly every Golden Core loose cultivator and member of major forces in the area.
