I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2731 - 1258: Immortality Pill (2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
That is precisely why he did not bother attending the Sacred Dao Conference back then.
"Now that the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance has been established, I intend to leverage its power to gather rare herbs for refining the Immortality Pill..." Dustless True Monarch revealed his grand plan.
He had utilized the Three Mystic Jade Dragon Pill to advance into the Late Stage Deity Transformation. Given the solid foundation of the Dao Morale Sect, achieving Perfection of Spirit Transmutation was practically a certainty, and thus, his focus now shifts to preparing for Cultivating Void.
The Immortality Pill is a formidable sixth-rank medicinal concoction on the Eastern Continent, specifically designed to aid cultivators in their breakthroughs.
A key distinction between this Immortality Pill and the Xuanxu Pill lies in its potency: ingesting the former allows a cultivator to reach Five-Rank Perfection in the Body Forging Realm. Furthermore, with sufficient preparation and abundant Elemental Energy, one might even ascend directly to the Sixth Rank Blood Rebirth realm solely through the Immortality Pill's efficacy.
While the recipe for the Immortality Pill originally belonged to the Eastern Emperor Court, it has been passed down and refined by the Deity Transformation True Monarchs of the Dao Morale Sect over the generations. Consequently, Dustless True Monarch is intimately familiar with its intricacies, with the main hurdles being the acquisition of materials and the refinement process itself.
Should he succeed in refining it, Dustless True Monarch's prospects of achieving Cultivating Void would significantly improve.
However, the ingredients required for the Immortality Pill are exceedingly rare and precious, with many auxiliary herbs being of the fifth rank. The Dao Morale Sect alone cannot possibly procure them, necessitating the mobilization of the entire Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance.
"Since Senior harbors such an ambitious goal, I will certainly lend my assistance. However, the primary herb remains the most critical component..." Chen Mobai acknowledged, signifying his intention to enlist the influence of the Five Elements Sect.
It is worth noting that, excluding the Holy Land, other Nascent Soul forces in the Eastern Continent likely possess only basic foundations in procuring fifth-rank herbs.
The acquisition of sixth-rank primary herbs presents the greatest challenge.
"I have already entrusted this significant matter to Taixu Miaomiao Palace. Combined with the cultivation from our sect's own medicine fields, we can acquire approximately seven-tenths of the required materials. For the remainder, if the Five Continents and Four Seas prove insufficient, we will have to await assistance from our ancestors in the Upper Realm when they visit," Dustless True Monarch elaborated.
Chen Mobai let out a sigh; the advantage of having powerful backing was truly something to envy.
"Indeed, if the Dou Guang Field were amenable, we could procure them immediately. However, Feng Qingshu, the clan leader, is supremely confident in her ability to cultivate void at any moment and harbors no interest in the Immortality Pill, hence her refusal," Dustless True Monarch expressed with a hint of regret.
The Dou Guang Field, situated in the Southern State, stands as the most expansive medicinal field within the Tianhe Realm. Coupled with the Feng family's diligent centuries-long collection and cultivation of spirit plants from across the Five Continents and Four Seas, nearly any herb imaginable can be found there.
On a previous occasion, when Feng Qingshu arrived to aid Longevity Eyebrow in their advancement, Dustless True Monarch had broached this subject, only to be met with a direct rejection.
"How many pills can a single furnace of the Immortality Pill yield?"
Chen Mobai posed the question that was of utmost importance.
"It is difficult to ascertain, as I have never refined it before. There is even a possibility of failure..." Dustless True Monarch admitted, shaking his head, unwilling to guarantee the outcome.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai's spirits sank; according to customary practices, even if the pill were successfully refined, it would likely contain Dan Poison.
Irrespective of the severity of the Dan Poison, Dustless True Monarch and his disciples would undoubtedly consume it nonetheless.
Initially, Chen Mobai had contemplated the possibility of profiting from this endeavor. However, based on Dustless True Monarch's hesitant tone, it seemed highly improbable.
Given the circumstances, Chen Mobai resolved to have Chen Lingming coordinate efforts with the Dao Morale Sect.
As there were no personal gains to be had, Chen Mobai's interest waned. Nevertheless, the mention of the Immortality Pill triggered a recollection: the Dan Ding Sect also possessed the Life Spirit Blood Refining Pill, a concoction with a comparable effect.
Once Qing Nu achieves Deity Transformation, preparations can commence for refining the sixth-rank Life Spirit Blood Refining Pill.
Should fortune favor him and the refinement prove successful, he might even consider marketing it as a legacy from the Heavenly Sovereign.
The Dragon Vein's emergence of spirituality persisted for a duration of six months.
Dustless True Monarch remained for one month before departing; by then, the situation had largely stabilized, and he deemed the risk of failure to be minimal.
An additional six months elapsed, during which Jiang Zongheng successfully formed his Nascent Soul within the Zhao Country Capital. To preemptively avoid any suspicion, Chen Mobai utilized his Law Domain to teleport him to his disciple's Cave Dwelling in Loquat Valley, only then initiating the sequence for the Heavenly Tribulation.
Such a seemingly trivial Yuan Infant Heavenly Tribulation was, as expected, overcome with considerable ease.
"Thank you, Master, for your protection."
Jiang Zongheng, having successfully weathered the tribulation, alighted before Chen Mobai and offered a respectful bow.
"No need for such formalities; why did you choose to form your Nascent Soul within the Zhao Country Capital?" Chen Mobai gestured for Jiang Zongheng to rise, then settled himself within Loquat Valley and inquired.
"Reporting to Master, your disciple always felt a certain deficiency for Nascent Soul Formation, an elusive element I couldn't grasp. Then, one day during seclusion, I perceived a dragon's roar resonating from the earth's depths. Following this instinct, I journeyed to that location, only to witness the emergence of the Dragon Vein Spirit, which birthed Nascent Soul Spirituality..."
Jiang Zongheng elaborated that his breakthrough to Nascent Soul Formation had been remarkably abrupt and unforeseen.
It was an enlightenment that arose spontaneously, spurred by a nostalgic return journey to Zhao Country.
Coincidentally, at the very time of his arrival, the Dragon Vein had achieved perfect accumulation, resonating with immense spirituality.
"It appears you are truly destined for the Emperor’s Scroll."
Upon hearing the account, Chen Mobai sensed the profound influence of fate.
Considering the Generation Emperor's mastery over the Great Dao of Destiny, he mused that perhaps the Emperor's Scroll finding its way to Jiang Zongheng was preordained from the dissolution of the Eastern Emperor Court.
Alternatively, it could have been a casual act by the Generation Emperor, known for his desire for transcendence. The Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace had cultivated numerous disciples in the Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture for ascension, intending to identify a suitable successor for the imperial throne.
"The disciple only knows the Emperor’s Scroll was bestowed by Master." Jiang Zongheng stated earnestly.
"Continue your cultivation diligently. My initial intent was for you to switch cultivation techniques after achieving Nascent Soul Formation. However, influenced by the Dragon Vein Spirit, the foundation of the Emperor’s Scroll is now firmly established within your Nascent Soul. I trust that upon my ascension, you will be able to carry on and realize the grand ambitions of the Five Elements Sect." Chen Mobai assessed Jiang Zongheng’s condition post-formation, noting that his actual cultivation realm remained centered on the Longevity Scripture. Yet, his Dragon Spirit Root was now established, poised for a gradual conversion to the Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture, enabling him to cultivate the Human Emperor’s Body and the Six-Dragon Incarnation.
"Here lies the Six Dragon Essence Blood. Refine these one by one once you have mastered the Human Emperor’s Body."
Chen Mobai presented the prepared essence blood to Jiang Zongheng. While some were not complete True Spirit’s Blood, they included lower-grade essence, akin to the Song variant, sufficient for Jiang Zongheng at his current stage.
Consequently, Chen Mobai imparted the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique to him.
This technique originated from the Zhongli Family’s original cultivation method, and Chen Mobai possessed the legitimate authority for its transmission, allowing him to directly pass it to his disciple.
"Such a profound cultivation technique exists in the world!"
Jiang Zongheng exclaimed in astonishment, having experienced the Dragon Transformation Scripture Technique.
"This was devised by a venerable individual named Zhongli. Should you attain the realms of a Mortal Realm Heavenly Emperor, ensure you erect a memorial for him," Chen Mobai instructed. Jiang Zongheng responded with a firm nod.
Having concluded his guidance to his disciple, Chen Mobai then retrieved King Zhao’s corpse and outlined the necessary actions.
Jiang Zongheng, who had been solely focused on his breakthrough, was unaware of these developments and was astonished upon hearing them.
"You have just formed your Nascent Soul; your immediate priority is to purge the Demon Sect from the sect’s territory. The Pure Bamboo must be promptly planted at every Spirit Vein hub. The Incarnation Demon Technique is indeed peculiar, and currently, this unconventional method is the only means available. Furthermore, regarding this corpse, consult with Senior Brother Fu on whether it can be refined into a Rank-5 Golden Armored Celestial..."
After assigning these duties, Chen Mobai recalled an individual proficient in the Incarnation Demon Technique.
It was Du Mengyun, whom he had branded with the Primordial Demon Talisman.
He wondered about her current circumstances, as well as those of Hong He.
Du Mengyun had taken possession of Sun Huangling’s body from the Sun family.
After disclosing their intentions to Chen Mobai and departing the Eastern Wilderness, they had ventured to the Ruins in Yao Guang Immortal City to develop their influence, now effectively controlling the Sun family.
Chen Mobai intended to approach Du Mengyun to ascertain if there was a more effective counter to the Incarnation Demon Technique than the Pure Bamboo.
