I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2700 - 1241: Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Medicine, Yin Yang Treasure Pearl (Part 2)

The moment Chen Mobai laid eyes on the ginseng, it seemed to recoil in alarm, vanishing into the earth's depths as swiftly as a flood dragon entering the sea.

Chen Mobai observed that this ginseng was on the verge of Spiritual Perfection, yet still required another century to fully mature. Any other Spirit Plant Master who stumbled upon it would likely leave a marker, planning to return for it at a later date.

After all, even millennium-old Spiritual Medicine could perish if removed from its natural habitat and cease to grow.

Once this ginseng reached Perfection, it would be comparable to a Fifth Rank Superior Grade medicinal ingredient. A portion of its juice, along with some roots, could be used as the primary components to refine the Immortal Gate’s Infant Binding Three Spirits Medicine. Furthermore, it might even serve in the creation of high-grade Purple Sun Immortal Life Elixir and Lifeblood Refining Pill.

For Chen Mobai, obtaining this Spiritual Medicine presented no significant challenge.

He utilized his Law Domain directly, taking the ginseng along with several acres of the soil it flourished in. Subsequently, within the confines of his Law Domain, he replicated the Spirit Vein conditions of Lanyuan Valley, facilitating the subtle relocation of the ancient Spiritual Medicine.

Following this, guided by the Response Earth Spirit, he gathered all the necessary millennium Spiritual Medicine into his Law Domain.

This place truly lived up to its renown as the foremost treasure trove in the West Continent, a legacy bestowed by Ascended Monks. It contained every conceivable type of Spiritual Medicine, perfectly complementing the scarce high-rank Spiritual Medicine that the Five Elements Sect lacked.

Leveraging his profound expertise in Formations, Chen Mobai skillfully navigated the peripheries of Lanyuan Valley's Grand Formation and its various restrictions. He meticulously extracted and packaged both the Spiritual Medicine and the soil without eliciting any response from the overarching formation.

However, Chen Mobai had not forgotten the primary objective of his presence here.

After securing all the Spiritual Medicine he deemed valuable, he soon reached the valley where Mysterious Water had mentioned she resided with Ku Zhu.

This area originally served as a Spirit Field for cultivators from the West Continent to cultivate medicinal herbs. However, all its restrictions had long since faded, and the Spiritual Energy, while only Fifth Rank, was adequate for Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Upon his arrival, Chen Mobai detected a vigorous surge of spiritual energy from nature pouring into the valley.

This peculiar phenomenon was something he had only recently witnessed.

It bore a striking resemblance to the circumstances at the Snow Mountain Sect when the Jade Shatter True Monarch possessed the Blossoming Immortal for Divinity Transformation.

Could Ku Zhu be attempting Divinity Transformation!?

Recognizing this possibility, Chen Mobai felt a flicker of apprehension.

Over the years, he had observed numerous Great Cultivators of the Primordial Infant stage from the East Continent strive to attain this very realm.

Yet, apart from himself, Ye Qing, and the Taixu Saintess—individuals of unparalleled talent—nearly all other cultivators at the peak of Nascent Soul Completion faltered.

Examples of such failures included Earth Virtue and Xing Ji.

For Ku Zhu, in particular, he possessed only a single Dao Fruit to aid his Divinity Transformation.

Xing Ji had consumed two Sacred Spirit Pills. Even someone as formidable as Jade Shatter True Monarch, who was essentially at the Void Refining Realm, had negotiated a Dao Fruit with Chen Mobai in exchange for an additional pill, purely as a precautionary measure.

While Ku Zhu's innate talent was respectable, with just one Dao Fruit, Chen Mobai estimated his chance of successfully achieving Divinity Transformation was a mere ten percent, at best.

Mulling over this, Chen Mobai immediately employed Echoes in the Void to ascertain Ku Zhu's current condition.

After a considerable duration, he let out a sigh.

Ku Zhu had already initiated the transition from Nascent Soul to Divinity Transformation, signifying that intervention was no longer possible.

The sole piece of encouraging news was that Ku Zhu's internal energy flow remained steady, showing no indications of disruption from the overwhelming Sword Qi and Sword Intent.

However, this might simply be attributable to the nascent stage of his Nascent Soul to Deity Transformation process.

Chen Mobai could only offer his silent hopes for a successful transformation.

Considering the potential inadequacy of the ambient Spiritual Energy, Chen Mobai placed thirty pieces of Supreme Grade Spirit Stones around Ku Zhu's secluded dwelling and remotely activated a simple formation to distribute their Spiritual Qi.

Ku Zhu's Divinity Transformation was projected to span several years, possibly even a decade or more, before reaching fruition. Chen Mobai certainly could not afford to remain idle during this extended period. Thus, upon completing his arrangements, he proceeded to explore other sectors within Lanyuan Valley.

The ultimate objective, naturally, lay at the heart of these ruins.

This central location was the core of the formation, boasting the most concentrated abundance of Spiritual Energy.

It was highly probable that any Sixth Rank Spiritual Objects used to suppress the formation would be discovered there.

Navigating this particular path proved to be somewhat arduous.

The presence of multiple restrictions, intricately connected to the grand formation, posed a significant threat; a single misstep could trigger a cascading reaction.

Although Chen Mobai possessed the Void Evasion Technique, allowing for an immediate retreat, employing it would undoubtedly agitate the Spirit Vein, jeopardizing Ku Zhu's ongoing transformation.

Thus, he proceeded with extreme caution, dedicating unparalleled focus to his movements as he advanced inch by painstaking inch towards the formation's heart.

Approximately three months later, he finally reached a magnificent hall constructed from Qing Shi.

An ancient and imposing structure, a pathway paved with polished Qing Shi led to its entrance. The path gleamed like a mirror, devoid of even a speck of dust, flanked by stoic pines and cypresses. At the far end, a statue of Black and White Dual Snakes stood sentinel, exuding a majestic aura, appearing as if guarding spirits.

As Chen Mobai arrived, the treasure map clutched in his hand suddenly emanated streaks of azure light, harmonizing with the hall's restrictions. A winding route was then etched onto the map.

Drawing upon his own expertise in formations, Chen Mobai discerned that this marked the sole path for entering the hall.

Following the indicated route, he soon found himself at the hall's entrance, only to face tightly sealed doors secured by a Sixth Rank restriction.

A token-shaped indentation on the door clearly signified the requirement for a key.

According to Mysterious Water, the key should be in Ku Zhu's possession.

Retrieving it would undoubtedly disturb the transforming Ku Zhu, leaving Chen Mobai with no choice but to slowly employ the Void Evasion Technique.

This technique, a legacy from Taixu MiaoMiao Palace and worthy of the Taixu True King, enabled Chen Mobai to bypass the door and enter the hall.

Upon entry, Chen Mobai's gaze immediately fell upon a colossal serpentine corpse.

This corpse bore a striking resemblance to the statue encountered outside, possessing two heads – one black and one white.

Recalling Ye Qing's words, he surmised this must be Tianlan Taoist's spirit beast, the Yin Yang Double Snakes.

It was presumed that the beast lacked sufficient cultivation during its own Ascendance and was thus left behind by Tianlan Taoist when ascending to the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm. However, its presence within the treasure land of Lanyuan Valley had still resulted in its physical form persisting for millennia, a testament to the formidable challenge of the Void Refining Realm.

With a sigh, Chen Mobai extended his hand to gauge the cultivation level of the Yin Yang Double Snakes before its demise.

Yet, the instant his hand made contact, the corpse disintegrated into a handful of ashes, scattering like bone powder across the hall.

Chen Mobai stared in stunned disbelief.

It was widely known that the Yin Yang Double Snakes had been at least a Fifth Rank Peak Spirit Beast in life, and even after death, their physical form should have remained intact.

However, the current state suggested that all its Essence Qi had been utterly drained, leading to its death.

What could possibly have transpired here?

Could it be that an expert from the Demon Path had preceded him?

As Chen Mobai pondered these questions, a strand of black and white Spiritual Light suddenly illuminated from the remnants of the Yin Yang Double Snakes' ashes.

Chen Mobai flicked the sleeve of his Pure Yang Immortal Robe, releasing a gentle breeze that dispersed the ashes.

Swiftly, a Treasure Pearl, pulsing with Yin Yang Qi circulation and roughly the size of a fist, floated before his eyes.

Chen Mobai's face broke into a wide grin as he promptly took the Treasure Pearl into his hand.

He immediately recognized it as the inner core of a Spirit Beast.

Furthermore, it had achieved the Sixth Rank.

Recalling the circumstances of the Yin Yang Double Snakes' corpse turning to dust, Chen Mobai formulated a hypothesis.

This spirit beast of Tianlan Taoist must have reached the end of its lifespan and forcefully attempted to break through to the Sixth Rank realm. In doing so, it had condensed a Sixth Rank inner core, but its physical form could no longer endure the strain, leading to its death within this hall.

By channeling the Power of the Yin Yang Path, Chen Mobai sensed the Treasure Pearl in his palm, noting its deeper black and white Spiritual Light.

As his power of the Great Dao permeated the pearl, a dormant spiritual presence within began to stir.

Following a fierce roar, a miniaturized semblance of the Black and White Dual Snakes emerged from the Treasure Pearl, baring its fangs at Chen Mobai.

With a sharp clang.

Chen Mobai, his expression unreadable, drew the Primordial Yang Sword and with a single sweep, bifurcated the spirit of the Black and White Dual Snakes.
