I Have A Cultivation World-Chapter 469 - 332: Five Elements Essence_1
Chapter 469: Chapter 332: Five Elements Essence_1
For a young man like Chen Mobai, there was barely any noticeable feeling in the slight depletion of his lifespan.
But the effects of longevity tree fruit were overwhelmingly profound. Drop by drop, as spiritual energy took form, his once robust vitality and essence started to stabilize, as if he had suddenly bypassed his youthful days and transformed into a mature man.
Gradually, his long, jet-black hair started to grow grey, indicating a significant depletion of his lifespan.
Simultaneously, the amount of Longevity Spiritual Power in his Dantian Qi Sea reached 50 drops, pushing him to his absolute limits.
The decrease in his lifespan was now clearly perceptible to him, manifesting in various aspects of his existence.
Chen Mobai felt his divine consciousness fluctuations smooth out. His Essence and Blood Energy seeped out from secret corners of his body, one bit at a time, blending with the warm flow within his vital organs, acupoints, and meridians, morphing it into a mysterious yet potent force that expanded his Dantian Qi Sea, saturated with Longevity Spiritual Power, inch by inch.
Days passed one by one.
As Chen Mobai consumed the tree fruit to break through his realm, his opponents were also making their moves.
…
Pure Yang Academy.
Xiahou Weihuan respectfully ushered a rugged man with yellowish complexion into a Spirit Energy Synthesis Room.
“Min Master, I’m burdening you once again.”
The rugged man, named Min Fangheng, was a famed Rank-4 Earth Master in the world of Immortal Cultivation. At a time when the cultivation profession was in decline, he was a top expert in his field.
“It’s no trouble. After all, Nangong Xuanyu has generously rewarded me with Good Deed Points.”
With a faint smile that revealed his pearly white teeth, Min Fangheng moved towards the magical devices in the Spirit Energy Synthesis Room. He began to skillfully operate and fine-tune the equipment.
“Min Master, actually it’s not the Principal who requested the ‘Fire Yang Evil’. It’s me,” Xiahou Weihuan said something that stopped Min Fangheng in his tracks. Min Fangheng turned around and scrutinized him up and down, asking with a puzzled expression.
“Bespoke Evil Qi from me is expensive.”
Due to scarcity, the majority of Evil Qi is classified as spiritual objects under control and prohibited from being extracted.
However, a lot of advanced spells, like Sword Sha, can’t do without it. Hence, under these circumstances, the Repairing Heaven Institute developed an artificial synthesis method for Evil Qi.
Sometimes, the artificial kind is more suitable for cultivators compared to the wild one.
Since the former is manmade, it takes the user’s requirements into full consideration during synthesis. This ensures that shortly after the Evil Qi is synthesized it can be refined rapidly and easily.
The Repairing Heaven Institute’s Yuan Xu, was awarded the “Flying Immortal Award”, the highest accolade in the world of Immortal Cultivation, issued only once in a thousand years for his revolutionary synthetic Evil Qi technology.
This award honours epoch-making transcendental techniques.
After receiving the award, Yuan Xu graciously published his research paper on synthetic Evil Qi for public view.
He studied every type of Evil Qi possessed by the world of Immortal Cultivation and came to a basic conclusion.
Every type of Evil Qi can be broken down into the five basic elements of essence.
The Five Element Essence is divided into Yin Five Elements and Yang Five Elements. In theory, these are known as the Ten Heavenly Stems in the world of Immortal Cultivation: Jia and Yi Wood, Bing and Ding Fire, Wu and Ji Earth, Geng and Xin Metal, Ren and Gui Water.
Yuan Xu started here, breaking every pattern of Evil Qi down to its irreducible essence.
For instance, a strand of Fire Yang Evil consists of 2 parts Jia Wood Essence, 3 parts Bing Fire Essence, 1 part Ding Fire Essence, 2 parts Wu Earth Essence, 1 part Geng Metal Essence, 1 part Ren Water Essence. Then, using a special environment created by the ordered magical apparatus, the Evil Qi is diligently refined, and eventually, a synthetic Evil Qi is produced.
The ones capable of this in the world of Immortal Cultivation are the “Earth Masters”.
Min Fangheng is a specialist in the artificial synthesis of Evil Qi, most proficient in refining Fire Yang Evil. In addition, thanks to the substantial investment by the Pure Yang Academy in buying magical equipment, it made it possible for Nangong Xuanyu to cultivate as many as nine Primordial Yang Sword Sha in the particular environment of Immortal Cultivation.
“Min Master, rest assured. It’s the Principal who asked me to invite you here. We will pay you a consulting fee of one hundred thousand Good Deed Points, a commission fee of one hundred thousand Good Deed Points, and an additional ten thousand for expenses. A total of two hundred and ten thousand Good Deed Points will be credited to your account upon completion.”
“Alright then, considering your background in the cultivation of Five Element Essence, instructing you won’t be too tiring.”
After suffering a crushing defeat against Lan Haitian in Little Red Sky, Xiahou Weihuan, spurred on by his pain, resolved that the only way to redeem his humiliation was to cultivate the Primordial Yang Sword Sha before Core Formation.
The cost of creating synthetic Evil Qi wasn’t high for Xiahou Weihuan, but the issue was the Five Element Essence.
The so-called Five Element Essence is the spiritual power gained by cultivators practising a single attribute of Five Elements cultivation, and then reversing it back into spiritual energy by dispersing their power.
What resulted was a pure and unadulterated Five Elements spiritual energy.
Cultivators practising Five Elements techniques can’t cultivate Five Element Essence.
Five hundred years ago, when Yuan Xu had just released his paper on synthetic Evil Qi, many Earth Masters hired base level Qi practitioners to cultivate it.
Back then, a cultivation of Five Element Essence could fetch a price of 1000 Good Deed Points.
For many cultivators who had no hopes for Transcendence, it became a golden path to earning a side income to support their families.
Consequently, most average cultivators who were practising Five Elements techniques switched en masse to cultivate various single-attribute Qi practices, with the aim of dispersing their cultivated spiritual energy into Five Element Essence for selling.
