Chapter 840 - 840 474 Two Years
Chapter 840: Chapter 474 Two Years Chapter 840: Chapter 474 Two Years Luo Yixuan left Giant Tree Ridge, and Chen Mobai, together with Zhuo Ming, sowed the Green Jade Spirit Rice. They also conducted a new hybridization experiment on those two acres of Rank-3 Spirit Fields.
He hoped to cultivate a variety of Rank-3 Spirit Rice that was suitable for the environment of Giant Tree Ridge.
However, this was destined to be a long-term experiment. Having already brought up Zhuo Ming, Chen Mobai gave some instructions and then returned to his new Taoist body practice site to start his seclusion for cultivating the Longevity Dao Body.
It was the best body forging technique of the Divine Wood Sect, and the method of cultivation was quite simple: just refine the Longevity Tree Sap.
Without the Longevity Tree Sap, one would have to draw in the spiritual energy of the water and wood attributes into the body themselves, but the efficiency of the two methods was drastically different.
King Zhou Wangshen had enough Longevity Tree Sap, and it took roughly ten years just to barely cultivate the first level of the Longevity Dao Body.
If one relied solely on drawing in spiritual energy for improvement, it probably would take about ten times longer.
Even for Golden Core Cultivators, a hundred years spent only on cultivating a body refining technique that prolonged life, strengthened the physique, and had powerful restorative abilities was considered a huge loss.
But with the Longevity Tree Sap, it was a completely different story. Ten years was a timeframe even Qi Practitioners could afford.
Moreover, Chen Mobai also had the “Precious Fire Forging Physical Technique” from the Talent Tree.
This secret technique could use the Green-sun Fire to rapidly refine and volatilize the potent vitality within the Longevity Tree Sap, allowing it to permeate and dye the entire body down to the bone marrow, speeding up the process of cultivating the Longevity Dao Body even further.
For Chen Mobai, the only problem with cultivating this body refining technique was not having enough Longevity Tree Sap.
The first level of the Longevity Dao Body required infusing each of the body’s 206 bones with a drop of Longevity Tree Sap to achieve an indestructible skeletal structure. Then, through the bones, the overwhelming vitality had to radiate from within and soak every organ, muscle, skin, meridian, and acupoint.
Chen Mobai had already refined 30 drops before, and together with the 100 drops offered by Luo Yixuan, he was still short by 76 drops.
However, this was not a difficult issue for him.
He could always cultivate a few more Water Attribute techniques and then plunder the Magic Treasure Tree.
After all, he could fully invest in such time.
But it would be best if Liu Wenbo succeeded in his Foundation Establishment. This eldest disciple had cultivated both wood and water attribute techniques, and if he went to the Magic Treasure Tree, there was a chance he could produce Longevity Tree Sap, just like Luo Yixuan.
Even if Liu Wenbo couldn’t manage it, the Divine Wood Sect had quite a few true disciples who cultivated Water Attribute techniques.
Since Chen Mobai could cover for them, he didn’t wait any longer. After handling everything that needed attention, he began refining the Longevity Tree Sap drop by drop.
In Chen Mobai’s hands, the Green-sun Fire had long become smooth and refined. Using it as fuel, a drop of Longevity Tree Sap brimming with vitality took only about seven or eight days for him to completely refine and merge into one of his bones.
Chen Mobai also tried refining the Longevity Tree Sap without using the Precious Fire Forging Technique.
The efficiency was cut in half; without the technique, it took half a month to refine and merge just one drop.
With every drop of Longevity Tree Sap refined, Chen Mobai distinctly felt his physical body grow stronger, and this sensation of constant change and enhancement made him helplessly addicted.
Furthermore, as his physical body grew stronger, Chen Mobai felt his control over spiritual power and divine sense becoming more precise. He could even perform delicate maneuvers that were previously impossible.
Such slight improvements delighted him even more.
Because, in the end, the Core Formation stage was about testing control. Chen Chun had said that if he failed at Core Formation, it would probably be because he couldn’t manage the surging power at the final stage.
He never expected that cultivating the body refining technique would yield such rewards.
After realizing this, Chen Mobai became even more fascinated with cultivating the Longevity Dao Body.
Before long, a year had passed, and Chen Mobai had refined half of the big bag of Longevity Tree Sap from Luo Yixuan.
One day, as he was cultivating, he suddenly sensed an abrupt and violent increase in spiritual power fluctuations beneath the Longevity Wood.
Chen Mobai couldn’t help but awaken from his state of entering tranquility, and activating his Void Spirit Eye, he looked down and soon spotted his eldest disciple in the midst of a Foundation Establishment attempt.
After a while, a regretful expression appeared on Chen Mobai’s face.
Ultimately, his eldest disciple’s foundation was insufficient, and he failed to succeed in one go.
“Wen Bo, there’s no need to force a transformation, lest irreversible damage occurs. If you’ve failed, just let it be,” he said, as he noticed Liu Wenbo’s liquid spiritual power in the Dantian Qi Sea starting to scatter, and Liu Wenbo attempting to forcibly stop the process to continue his Foundation Establishment. He sent a message to wake him.
Chen Mobai’s three disciples revered him like a deity, so upon hearing his words, Liu Wenbo’s face struggled for a moment, and then he dejectedly relinquished his control over the spiritual power.
The powerful spiritual energy that had been gathering around him began to slowly dissipate.
After about a quarter of an hour, Liu Wenbo opened his eyes, pale-faced. Seeing Chen Mobai’s figure not far away, his expression was one of discouragement and despair.
“Disciple is incompetent, I have failed at Foundation Establishment.”
“In a person’s life, failure is the norm, success is but a chance occurrence. What you must do is seek success after continuous failure,” Chen Mobai consoled his earnest eldest disciple. Despite not having as high hopes for him as for Zhuo Ming, years of being together had built affection, and seeing his pale face and the despair in his eyes, as if he had reached life’s end, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but offer words of comfort.
