I Have A Cultivation World-Chapter 690 - 418: Scapegoat_2

Chapter 690: Chapter 418: Scapegoat_2

“So, is it about whether the Purple Lightning Sword wants to have a future or just to lay low?”

Chen Mobai concluded with a sudden realization.

At first, the two women found it a bit strange, but soon they realized that this summary was excellent, hitting the nail on the head.

“What conditions have you prepared?”

Pei Qingshuang asked Chen Mobai, who was a bit slow to react. After contemplating his advantages, he found that it might be pretty straightforward.

Offer better treatment.

...

“Mine are similar to those of Master Yan. But I’m just a puny Foundation Establishment cultivator; I presume the Purple Lightning Sword won’t be interested in me.”

Chen Mobai mocked himself, even though he was considered the second Lan Haitian. Until he surpassed the hurdle of Core Formation, he would forever remain as a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Compared to the other three Core Formation cultivators, at least they have hope for Nascent Soul Formation.

Even though he had good potential, if he wanted to form a core, he would have to make the Purple Lightning Sword wait at least sixty more years.

After the sword chose its master, the heavens would not provide the minimum conditions of Spirit Stone Spiritual Qi. If the Purple Lightning Sword were to follow a Foundation Establishment cultivator for sixty years, it might even fall in its rank.

Moreover, every magic artifact has a lifespan after being forged.

In the world of cultivation, only a few handfuls of materials are forever-lasting. Even if they are extraordinarily precious, they would decay after experiencing the vicissitudes of time.

For this reason, the Treasure Trove periodically chooses magic artifacts that are near their lifespan and refines them into talisman treasures and talisman artifacts, extracting their last value.

Although the Purple Lightning Sword is a Rank-4 sword, theoretically it could last for thousands of years under abundant spiritual energy.

But the problem is the lack of spiritual energy; the heavens certainly prioritize providing to Rank-5 treasures and above.

The Daoist Academy spends more than half its annual budget on the Sea-settling Sword, leaving for the Purple Lightning Sword just barely enough to maintain its minimum operation.

“I wonder if the Purple Lightning Sword likes Spirit Stones?”

With this thought, a novel idea flashed across Chen Mobai’s mind.

On the other side, Pei Qingshuang had already started consulting Yan Qiongzhi about her Core Formation experience. Yan generously shared every minute detail, not only broadcasting her own Core Formation clip but voluntarily explaining the subtle changes in her condition.

Chen Mobai watched attentively.

Yan Qiongzhi performed her Core Formation at the Jumang Daoist Academy, home to the most potent water vein in the Heaven. She borrowed a Rank-4 high-grade spiritual energy cultivation room to begin her Core Formation after the offline exchange meeting at the Daoist Academy.

Thanks to Wen Bo and Pei Qingshuang, otherwise with her Foundation Establishment level at the time, she would have probably only secured a lower-grade room.

Yan Qiongzhi’s Core Formation process took an entire year. Instead of consuming the Water Element Gold Core Medicine at the start, she gradually increased her spiritual power and divine sense, initiating the Core Formation process without any Gold Core Spiritual Material.

This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

She successfully triggered it, but her own foundation was not sufficient to breakthrough by herself.

This year of trying allowed her body to adapt to the rhythm of Core Formation.

Therefore, it was a natural progression after she consumed the Water Element Gold Core Medicine.

This is in the Heaven. If it were in the Eastern Wilderness, the Heavenly Tribulation alone that lasts a year would be disturbing enough, leaving no mental energy to focus on Core Formation.

Yan Qiongzhi shared her successful experience. She had a Freezing Technique that could slow down the condensation of spiritual power at critical junctures.

This technique gave her more control over the Core Formation process, allowing her to sample and refine, laying the foundation for her eventual success.

After listening, Chen Mobai asked about the Freezing Technique.

Yan Qiongzhi didn’t hide anything, but this powerful technique could only be used by an ice spirit root cultivator who practiced the Xuan Bing Jue.

Although Pei Qingshuang also had a gold and water True Spirit Root, she decided not to convert to an Ice Spirit Root in order to practice the Qingxiao Sword Canon.

Let alone Chen Mobai, with his Pure Yang Scroll Foundation, it conflicted with the Freezing Technique.

Nevertheless, both of them still asked Yan Qiongzhi for the Freezing Technique, even if they couldn’t master it, it was worth a look.

“The immortal sects have many techniques that are helpful for Core Formation, you should focus your efforts on those that match with your own cultivation techniques and spiritual roots, and not expend too much effort on my Freezing Technique.”

After transferring the electronic copy to both of them, Yan Qiongzhi gave another reminder.

After chatting for a while longer, Chen Mobai and Pei Qingshuang took their leave.

Before leaving, Chen Mobai inquired about Yan Bingxuan’s situation, after all, his old classmate had only a year and a half left. If she did not establish her foundation, with her personality, she would definitely go into military service.

“After I advanced to Core Formation, the permissions on the Immortal Sect network greatly increased, and I’ve already reserved some ‘Snow Spirit Water’ for Xuan.”

The most powerful privilege of a Rank-3 user on the Immortal Sect network is that every month they can select one item released by the official Immortal Sect, and reserve it for themselves before it goes on sale.

After Yan Qiongzhi advanced to become a Golden Core Cultivator, this privilege could be used to reserve Snow Spirit Water.

“I heard her say, Water Mist Ice Crystal is also useful for her Foundation Establishment?”

Chen Mobai was still a bit concerned about the beautiful Yan, he had always remembered these two useful items for her Foundation Establishment.

“‘Water Mist Ice Crystal’ isn’t available from the official Immortal Sect, and if I were to personally go to the polar sea territories to refine it, it would take several years, which would not make it in time for her graduation. Now we can only hope that she can successfully achieve Foundation Establishment with the aid of the Three Treasures for Foundation Establishment and the Snow Spirit Water.”

Yan Qiongzhi also lamented that if one wanted to artificially produce Water Mist Ice Crystals of Rank-2 and above, one would have to go to the icy sea areas at the poles of the Earth Elemental Star, and condense it from the extremely cold Water Elemental Essence.

With Yan Bingxuan having only a year and a half left until graduation, there just wasn’t enough time.

Chen Mobai took note of this, and planned to ask his eldest disciple Liu Wenbo about this once he returned to the Divine Wood Sect.

“I’ve told you all the information about the Purple Electric Sword, don’t let me down.”

After leaving Yan Qiongzhi’s residence, as Chen Mobai and Pei Qingshuang flew along the road, he suddenly heard the latter say.

“Do you really hope that much for me to become the sword master of the Purple Electric Sword?”

“After all, the story of ‘Purple Lightning Qingshuang’ is too famous. I’m already the sword master of the Qing Shuang Sword, and it’s definite that the general public of the immortal sects will pair me with the sword master of the Purple Electric Sword to discuss. The other few are all real Golden Core Cultivators, it’s too much pressure for me to be compared with them.”

Pei Qingshuang gave a reason, and Chen Mobai glanced at her in surprise.

“Being compared with you, it should be the real Golden Core Cultivators who feel the pressure, right?”

“After reaching the Core Formation, one is already a part of the upper echelons of the immortal sects, becoming a councillor in the Kaiyuan Hall, nominally a manager of the immortal sects. These people all have the potential to go further, and will not feel pressured because I am the daughter of Immortal Tao Hua.”

Pei Qingshuang seriously explained to Chen Mobai, who responded with a knowing smile.

“I’ll do my best. But, suppose I become the sword master of the Purple Electric Sword, and reach Core Formation before you, won’t you feel even more pressure?”

“Absolutely not.”

Pei Qingshuang shook her head with full confidence, the sixty-year limit on the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine in the Immortal Sect was a certainty, she would definitely reach Core Formation before Chen Mobai.

Chen Mobai did not mention the possibility of her failing to reach Core Formation, as that would be a bit too lacking in in emotional intelligence.

As for the Golden Elixir Spiritual Medicine, he had no plans to obtain it from the Immortal Sect.

“I’m leaving, call me if you need anything. White Stone, you still need to work harder, the resonance degree is still useful for the Purple Electric Sword.”

At this point, the two of them had flown to the middle of the sword handle, and Chen Mobai’s residence was just a little further away. Pei Qingshuang did not escort him all the way, and bid her farewell here.

“Yes, after watching your demonstration, I’ve understood the trick. Releasing five streams of sword qi should be no problem.”

Chen Mobai casually replied, some problems are just that simple. Once punctured, the mindset opens up hugely.

“What I like is your self-assured attitude.”

Leaving behind these words, Pei Qingshuang flew away contentedly.
