Chapter 29: Insufficient积分

"Can spirit stones also shorten the time needed to cultivate the 'Pure Yang Dharmakaya'?"

Chen Mobai widened his eyes, unable to believe it.

"The 'Pure Yang Dharmakaya' is also a type of cultivation technique, and any cultivation technique cannot do without spiritual energy. The reason it took me twenty years to cultivate the Three Yang Body is because the process of converting spirit roots required a lot of time to refine spiritual energy. If I had spirit stones to help, I could have saved at least ten years of hard work."

Ding Laotou did not hide anything and shared the experience he gained from twenty years of study at the academy with Chen Mobai.

It turns out that when cultivating the Pure Yang Dharmakaya, one also needs spiritual energy to convert the spirit roots. Without spirit stones, once one's own spiritual energy is exhausted, one has to convert and absorb spiritual energy simultaneously, which is much less efficient.

Why didn't the video by Shaoyang Zhenren mention this?

After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt puzzled, but he quickly realized the reason.

On Earth, spirit stones are basically all owned by the state, and ordinary cultivators don't have access to them.

Since they don't have them, there's no need to mention them.

In that case, the *Pure Yang Scroll* is not impossible for Chen Mobai to cultivate.

There is indeed no way to obtain a large number of spirit stones within the immortal sect, but the Tianhe Realm is different.

According to the records of the Bi Bo Lake that Chen Mobai read, the cultivation world there seems to have an abundance of spirit stones. Even a third-rate sect like the Flying Needle Sect can distribute spirit stones to each disciple as a benefit.

However, if one wants to obtain spirit stones, one must leave the Water Mansion and come into contact with the true cultivation world of the Tianhe Realm.

Chen Mobai thought about this and felt a bit hesitant.

He remembered the two Tianhe Realm cultivators who died in the Water Mansion recently. They were ruthless and backstabbing, and their words described the chaos and disorder of the Eastern Wasteland.

The Tianhe Realm seems to be in a primitive stage of feudal cultivation, where danger lurks everywhere.

Would he be killed as soon as he leaves the Water Mansion?

Chen Mobai muttered to himself and then asked how many spirit stones were needed to cultivate the 'Pure Yang Dharmakaya.'

"I'm not sure. After all, I only heard about this from a senior and never experienced it myself. I might need to look up some ancient texts to confirm."

Ding Laotou frowned and shook his head.

About five thousand years ago, spirit stones were still circulating in the market. At that time, there were cultivators who used spirit stones to cultivate the Pure Yang Dharmakaya. However, finding such ancient records might take some effort.

Chen Mobai nodded and decided to look it up. If the number of spirit stones required was not too high, he would consider switching to the *Pure Yang Scroll* after reaching the late Qi Condensation stage.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

At this moment, a knocking sound came from the door.

"Come in."

As soon as Ding Laotou finished speaking, his disciple, Song Zheng, opened the door.

"Teacher."

Song Zheng bowed to Ding Laotou at the door, very politely, and then looked at Chen Mobai, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, seemingly puzzled as to why he was there.

"Teacher Ding, I'll come back another time to ask you about the Thunder Technique restrictions."

Chen Mobai was very perceptive and did not stay, so as not to disturb the teacher-student interaction.

Although they were classmates, his relationship with Song Zheng was average, mainly because the latter was a dedicated cultivator who rarely wasted time on socializing.

They nodded at each other, acknowledging each other.

After leaving the office, the first batch of senior high school students in the cultivation room had not yet come out, so Chen Mobai returned to the classroom, opened his phone, and searched for information about the relationship between the Pure Yang Dharmakaya and spirit stones.

He eventually found a relevant post on a forum.

The title of the post was: [How long does it take to cultivate the Pure Yang Dharmakaya?]

It seemed to be a new student at the Pure Yang Academy asking seniors for advice.

There were over fifty replies to the post, and one of them mentioned that using spirit stones could shorten the time needed to cultivate the Pure Yang Dharmakaya.

[My ancestors participated in the founding war, and they left some spirit stones in the bank. After I was admitted to the Pure Yang Academy, my family was very excited and took them all out for me to use. Based on my experience, I have some data, just for reference.]

[For the One Yang Body, if you want to convert the spirit roots most effectively, you need 9 spirit stones. These 9 spirit stones should be used in the order of spirit root conversion for the best effect, and you can generally increase your fire spirit root by 9 points. This stage takes about one month.]

[For the Two Yang Body, you need many more spirit stones. Since my family didn't have enough spirit stones, I had to refine spiritual energy on my own for part of this stage, which took a total of one year and three months.]

[For the Three Yang Body, I had no spirit stones and had to cultivate through hard work, which took six years of sitting in meditation.]

This anonymous cultivator, compared to Mingyang Zhenren, who had the shortest time to cultivate the Three Yang Body without using spirit stones, still saved five years.

Chen Mobai was instantly tempted.

"First, I'll go outside the Water Mansion and see if I can get some spirit stones. If I can, I'll try to cultivate."

Chen Mobai, who originally planned to stay in his corner, couldn't resist.

After all, there were only two months left until the college entrance exam, and his hope of breaking through to the late Qi Condensation stage was slim. If he could cultivate the One Yang Body, he might receive an admission notice from the Pure Yang Academy.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but log into his account at the National Library, only to find that his points were insufficient to exchange for the Qi Condensation section of the *Pure Yang Scroll*.

"Huh, why does a cultivation technique require so many points?"

In Chen Mobai's memory, the Qi Condensation section of the Five Elements Technique only required 500 points, and his main account had over 3000 points, which should have been more than enough to exchange for the Pure Yang Qi Condensation section.

But when he looked, he saw that it required 10,000 points.

Looking at the subsequent four sections, he was even more surprised.

The Foundation Establishment section required 100,000 points, the Core Formation section required 1,000,000 points, the Nascent Soul section required 10,000,000 points, and the Deity Transformation section required 100,000,000 points, and each required the corresponding realm's permission to download.

For example, Chen Mobai's main account, Qingdi, was certified as a Qi Condensation realm cultivator. Even if he had 100,000,000 points in his account, he could only download the Qi Condensation section of the *Pure Yang Scroll*.

"I'll sell that spirit stone first. Just in time, the Goumang Dao Academy is putting up Qi-replenishing spirit water every day. I'll use the merit points to buy it. Then I can use the spirit water to increase my cultivation and the points from the purchase to exchange for the Pure Yang Qi Condensation section."

Although Chen Mobai usually lacked initiative, he was always decisive when it came to his cultivation.

Spirit stones are like firewood in your hand; they are only valuable when used.

He decided that, under the premise of breaking through to the late Qi Condensation stage, he would try to cultivate the Pure Yang Dharmakaya if possible.

Of the two spirit stones he obtained from the Water Mansion, one was used when he broke through to the sixth layer of Qi Condensation, leaving one unopened. If he exchanged it at the National Bank, it would be worth 10,000 merit points.

If he sold it on the market, due to the high demand, it could fetch at least 1,000 to 2,000 more merit points.
