Chapter 31: A True Word is Worth a Thousand Books

Upon returning home, Chen Mobai unwrapped the Spirit Detection Device, input a stream of spirit energy to activate it, and after confirming that it was functioning properly, he stuffed it into his small backpack.

However, today he did not immediately head to the Water Mansion.

Instead, he first took out his phone and ordered some clothes.

Since Chen Mobai planned to interact with the cultivators of the天河界 (Tianhe World), he naturally needed to blend in with them, and his attire could not be too conspicuous.

Although his school uniform was quite simple, it was completely different in style from the old man and the young man who had died in the Water Mansion. Referring to the clothing of the two in his memory, Chen Mobai selected a set of gray and white ancient-style clothing online.

After placing the order for the ancient-style clothing, he did not forget to order shoes.

Finally, he looked in the mirror and noticed another inconsistency.

His neatly trimmed buzz cut did not match the ancient-style clothing at all, so he had to order two long wigs and some hair accessories to tie them up, completing his outfit.

However, it would take at least two days for the items to be delivered.

Today, Chen Mobai could only meditate and cultivate in the Water Mansion and could not go out.

In a flash of silver light, he returned to the Tianhe World.

Feeling the water vein spirit energy, which was several times more concentrated than at home, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and sit down on the cushion.

Taking out his phone, he began to read the Pure Yang Cultivation Technique.

The document started with a page titled [Viewing Instructions].

Although all the cultivation techniques in the National Library were exchanged by cultivators using points, they could only be practiced by the individual and could not be taught to others. If one agreed with this, they could check a box and continue reading.

Chen Mobai naturally agreed, considering it a small oath of the Dao.

If a cultivator violated the rules and allowed others to practice the techniques they had downloaded, they would go against their own heart.

The more they spread, the more obstacles they would face in their Dao heart.

This was not a big issue at lower realms, but once they reached the critical stages of Core Formation or Nascent Soul, it could easily trigger heart demons and lead to failure.

This is why, despite the easy access to cultivation techniques and knowledge in the Immortal Sect, cultivators generally exchanged them using points or merit.

Chen Mobai first read through the Pure Yang Cultivation Technique from beginning to end, comparing it with the Five Elements Technique he had been practicing. He found it to be more profound and could not fully understand it all at once.

Of course, this might also be because he had watched Qingping Shangren's lecture videos several times, gaining a deep understanding of the Five Elements Technique.

He still needed to attend classes diligently.

He opened the "Auxiliary Cultivation" app, selected the section by Shaoyang Zhenren, and began to systematically study the Pure Yang Cultivation Technique based on his commentary.

Like the Black Water Technique, the Pure Yang Cultivation Technique came with three accompanying spells and the Three Yang Body, which could transform one's spirit root.

The spells were Fire Ignition, Flame Manipulation, and Fireball.

The Three Yang Body was the foundation of the foundation and the most important part.

After listening to Shaoyang Zhenren's explanation, Chen Mobai instantly understood.

Indeed, a true word is worth a thousand books. The parts he had not understood before became clear under Shaoyang Zhenren's detailed explanation.

The transformation of the spirit root into the Three Yang Body first required converting the water spirit root into a wood spirit root, and then the wood spirit root into a fire spirit root. The subtle differences between these steps, if not explained by Shaoyang Zhenren, would have made it difficult for Chen Mobai to achieve high efficiency even if he succeeded on his own.

When Old Ding transformed his spirit root into the One Yang Body, he only managed to increase his fire spirit root attribute to 6 points. Although this was only a 3-point difference from the maximum of 9 points, it might have been this 3-point gap that led to his failure in Core Formation.

After listening to Shaoyang Zhenren, Chen Mobai, to ensure he had not missed anything, found and compared the explanations of two other Core Formation cultivators who practiced the Pure Yang Scroll, gaining even more insights.

"If I can break through to the later stages of Qi Cultivation, I can also practice the Pure Yang Scroll."

Chen Mobai muttered to himself. Among the 84,000 Dao books in the Immortal Sect, the Pure Yang Scroll, although not the best for combat or the fastest for cultivation, was a broad and well-trodden path. With the rich experience of predecessors, many cultivation obstacles and bottlenecks had been well-documented, making it the most suitable for someone with his high privileges.

With this thought, his determination to leave the Water Mansion grew stronger.

He must earn enough spirit stones in the Tianhe World.

"However, the most important thing now is to advance to the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation."

Perhaps because he used spirit stones to break through, after reaching the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation, Chen Mobai did not feel the same instability in his spirit energy as he did after taking the Purple Fire Pill.

However, he was always cautious and practiced the Qi Nourishment Technique for two days. Today, feeling the spirit energy in his meridians as responsive as his limbs, he decided to take the "Qi Supplementing Spirit Water."

Opening the compartment in his backpack, he took out two glass vials about the length and thickness of his index finger.

The vials were sealed with wooden stoppers and contained a colorless liquid, which was the Qi Supplementing Spirit Water.

Chen Mobai opened the stopper and drank it in one gulp.

It tasted like plain water but had a faint bitter medicinal flavor, which he found hard to accept.

After drinking, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.

As the Five Elements Technique circulated, he instantly felt a hunger for spirit energy in his meridians and acupoints. The concentrated spirit energy in the Water Mansion flowed into his body like wisps of smoke.

Chen Mobai felt his cultivation efficiency increase by nearly ten times. The water vein spirit energy gathered around him, forming a mist that enveloped him in a hazy glow. A colorful and warm light emanated from his skin, a sign of the advanced stage of the Five Elements Technique.

Ordinary cultivators at the later stages of Qi Cultivation did not exhibit such phenomena when practicing the Five Elements Technique.

Fortunately, this was a second-grade medium-quality spirit vein, with ample spirit energy.

If he were at home, at least half of the Qi Supplementing Spirit Water's potency would have been wasted.

After six major cycles, the water mist around Chen Mobai began to dissipate, and his spirit energy absorption efficiency returned to normal.

This indicated that the potency of the Qi Supplementing Spirit Water had been completely exhausted.

He ran through two more cycles, unable to bear the slow cultivation efficiency compared to before, and stopped, opening his eyes.

"Unfortunately, this thing is limited in stock. Even though I have exchanged spirit stones for merit, I don't know if I will have the luck to get it again."

Chen Mobai still had a bottle of Qi Supplementing Spirit Water, but he could only take one bottle per day. He planned to put it back in his backpack.

As his hand touched the glass vial, his eyes suddenly widened.

This glass vial was the same one that the nurse in the pharmacy had used to fill with the large iron pot!

No wonder he found the scene familiar; it was because he recognized the glass vial.

She didn't fill it with "Yuan Recovery Spirit Water," but with "Qi Supplementing Spirit Water"?

Wasn't this something only sold directly by the Jumang Dao Academy? Could her small pharmacy actually produce it?
