I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2916 - 1359: Qing Nu’s Power (Part 2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
I’m afraid only the Primordial Water Control Banner can suppress the current Qing Nu on the Mysterious Sea.
"Oh, no, there are still many things I need to learn from you, Master."
Upon hearing the words of the Spiritual Venerable, Qing Nu was very modest.
"With such fortune for my wife, I can confidently go into seclusion to cultivate the Void."
Knowing the powerful status Qing Nu had achieved, Chen Mobai was overjoyed.
"I need to practice more to understand my current power."
Qing Nu spoke, seeking guidance from Chen Mobai and the Spiritual Venerable. Though her realm was only at the early stage of Divinity Transformation, her lifespan artifact of twenty-four Sea-settling Pearls were all at the sixth rank, and she felt they could evolve into a second primordial spirit, comparable to an ancient Flood Dragon returning to life on the Mysterious Sea.
If she further wielded the Sea-settling Sword with her Taichu Primordial Spirit, even an ancient Flood Dragon at its peak would find defeat inevitable.
In the days that followed, Chen Mobai and the Spiritual Venerable repeatedly sparred with Qing Nu, helping her master her strength.
Indeed, things turned out as they had anticipated.
Near the Mysterious Sea Eye, Qing Nu’s strength was already among the top in the Tianhe Realm, incapable of being suppressed even by those cultivating the Void.
Though not at the Sea Eye, on the Mysterious Sea, the innate Water Element Array formed by her twenty-four Sea-settling Pearls could also ensure her invincibility.
However, if leaving the Mysterious Sea, her power would considerably weaken, though she would still only lose to the very top few in Divinity Transformation within the Tianhe Realm.
For Qing Nu, the greatest benefit of this opportunity was obtaining the twenty-four second primordial spirits.
Although more separated primordial spirits meant more scattered heart and mind, weaker strength, dealing with cultivators below Divinity Transformation was a piece of cake.
Even the Tai Sui Child, without using the magic artifacts bestowed by Chen Mobai, was no match for Qing Nu’s weakest second primordial spirit.
"My lady, from now on your true body shall oversee the Mysterious Sea."
With so many second primordial spirits, Chen Mobai thought it best for her true body to avoid unnecessary risks.
"Yes, I plan to station one of my second primordial spirits at the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, while sending others across the Five Continents and Four Seas to establish branches of the Danxia Pavilion."
With so many second primordial spirits, Qing Nu was determined to fulfill her ambition of spreading the Danxia Pavilion throughout the Five Continents and Four Seas.
Chen Mobai naturally supported this, as in the current Tianhe Realm, no longer existed forces that could instill fear in the Five Elements Sect.
"Madame, the Tianhe Realm’s folk are fierce; your second primordial spirits leave the Mysterious Sea with average strength. Let me tailor some magic artifacts for you."
Chen Mobai expressed his idea.
As Qing Nu’s second primordial spirits ventured outside the realm of the Five Element Sect to open markets, given the current situation in the Tianhe Realm, they were likely to encounter various challenges; at the very least, the Jellyfish Palace, in pursuit of the Tai Chu Origin Book, would surely test or even strike at them.
Therefore, having sufficiently powerful strength would be best, and the strength of a second primordial spirit depended on Qing Nu’s divine consciousness realm, which couldn’t be enhanced rapidly in a short period; equipping with magic artifacts would be the most expedient way.
With so many sixth-rank materials in the Dragon Palace, Chen Mobai, with his expertise, could easily refine some fifth rank artifacts.
And in the Tianhe Realm, only a few in Divinity Transformation possessed sixth-rank artifacts.
Once Qing Nu’s second primordial spirits were equipped with fifth-rank artifacts, Chen Mobai would feel more at ease allowing her to explore outside.
"Thank you, husband; hopefully, this won’t tire you too much."
Qing Nu obviously would not refuse but was worried it might delay Chen Mobai’s progress in cultivating the Void.
"No matter, I also need some time to cleanse the Purity Saintly Virtue Great Dao, so I can spare some time for refining in daily life."
These words reassured Qing Nu, making her nod in agreement.
Over the ensuing period, Qing Nu remained around the Mysterious Sea, besides comprehending the inheritance of the Tai Chu Origin Book, she often sent her second primordial spirit into the Sea Eye.
Within the Mysterious Sea Eye, the residue of the Taichu Spiritual Vein still harbored spiritual energy; the gas draft was faint in various cave holes surrounding the entrance but became denser as one approached the depths.
One day, in a cave marked by Fu Hai True Monarch, Qing Nu’s second primordial spirit discovered a crystal, a supreme treasure nurtured by the natural sea, of Taichu Spiritual Qi and the Water Great Dao.
Upon closer examination, Qing Nu found that, when matured, this treasure would be a Taiyuan Blue Pearl.
No wonder refining this into Sea-settling Pearls allowed them to not only devour and refine Sea Suppressing Beads but also bear the power of the Taichu Dao.
After safeguarding the immature Taiyuan Blue Pearl, Qing Nu’s second primordial spirit transformed into a Sea-settling Pearl and departed from the Sea Eye.
Transforming into a streak of blue light, the second primordial spirit flew into Qing Nu’s true body, then discharged the Taichu Spiritual Qi absorbed within the Sea Eye into a jade vial.
This seventh-rank spiritual Qi from the Taichu was beneficial to both Qing Nu and Chen Mobai.
Qing Nu intended to gather it all for Chen Mobai’s use, considering his imminent venture into Cultivating Void. Anyway, having now secured the Mysterious Sea Eye, all opportunities and fortunes within belonged to her, so there was no rush.
Time flew by, and ten years passed in a flash.
A flame and a blue light shone from above the Mysterious Sea, transforming into red and blue pearls that submerged into the sea behind the heads of Chen Mobai and Qing Nu.
These were their second primordial spirits, returning from handling minor matters with the Five Elements Sect.
For instance, Chen Mobai crafted magic artifacts for a few Nascent Souls of the Star Heaven Dao Sect, supported Mo Douguang and Yin Qingmei in breaking through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, and reviewed at Yun Meng Ze Shipyard, advising on refining sixth-rank treasure ships.
Meanwhile, Qing Nu took the opportunity to refine a furnace of Longevity Great Dao Pill at Wanhua Immortal City.
This furnace’s main ingredient was the essence blood of an ancient Flood Dragon, with supplementary materials all provided by the Dao Morale Sect through Qi Jiannu.
The only request was that after this batch of elixirs was successfully refined, Qi Jiannu was to receive one pill.
If it were anyone else, Qing Nu would surely decline, as although the Five Elements Sect couldn’t gather all the supplementary ingredients, the widespread establishment of the Danxia Pavilion across the Five Continents and Four Seas coupled with connections in the Southern State Du Guang Ye Heavenly Phoenix Valley could eventually meet the needs given more time.
However, since it was her dear friend, with not many friends, Qing Nu keenly hoped for her successful Divinity Transformation. Additionally, keen to penetrate the elixir market in Central State where local forces resisted, Qing Nu agreed.
This batch of Longevity Great Dao Pill showcased Qing Nu’s alchemical prowess.
With the same main ingredient, Dustless True Monarch managed to refine merely four Communicating Holy Spirit Pills once, whereas Qing Nu succeeded in refining five pills.
Even though it was just one more pill, a 20% increase in material efficiency was considered a higher grade by the standards of the Immortal Gate.
As a consequence, the recently promoted Dustless True Monarch, now a sixth-rank alchemist, found his reputation slightly declining.
Numerous alchemists speculated that if the Danxia True Monarch could refine a furnace of sixth-rank elixirs, the title of the top alchemist in the Tianhe Realm would change hands.
After completing the elixirs, Qing Nu held a lecture at Wanhua Immortal City.
This Immortal City of the Five Elements Sect, now becoming a sacred place in the eyes of all alchemists in the East Continent, along with the expansion of the Danxia Pavilion into markets beyond the East Continent, required hiring diverse talents in the alchemy field, so whenever she had time, Qing Nu would give lectures to recruit and interview candidates.
Some flatterers even asked why the Dustless True Monarch could only refine four pills while the Danxia True Monarch could refine five.
Qing Nu, with modesty, attributed it to differences in the alchemical recipe, citing the higher efficiency of the Longevity Great Dao Pill concerning medicinal usage.
The Dao Morale Sect immediately embraced this gracious comment.
Shenxi announced that henceforth, in their refining of Deity Transformation Pills, the Dao Morale Sect would primarily adopt the long-optimized Longevity Great Dao Pill Recipe over the historical Communicating Holy Spirit Pill Recipe, now placed aside.
Upon learning this news, Chen Mobai laughed at Shenxi’s cunning.
With the advertising effect of Zhang Pankong and others’ successful Divinity Transformation, the Longevity Great Dao Pill had become the foremost auxiliary for aiding Divinity Transformation in the Tianhe Realm.
Under equivalent conditions, no one would choose the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill again.
To maintain their dominant elixir status, Shenxi decided to abandon the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, proclaiming their ability to also refine the Longevity Great Dao Pill.
He also leveraged the Five Elements Sect’s momentum.
