The higher the cultivation, the faster the conversion of spiritual stones into spiritual roots.
Chen Mobai could now consume three spiritual stones a day while cultivating the Pure Yang Body.
At this rate, in less than a year, he would be able to cultivate the Three Suns Body.
【Spiritual Root: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 23, Fire 38, Earth 10】
After testing his current spiritual root, Chen Mobai’s expression was relaxed.
Since he was using spiritual stones to cultivate the Pure Yang Body, each enhancement of his spiritual root was in its most perfect state. The Three Suns Body had already undergone one enhancement, and by the time it was complete, his fire spiritual root could increase by another 6 points.
By then, although his 44 points would not surpass Ming Yihua, he would be close to catching up with Yun Yangbing’s fire spiritual root attribute.
However, the thought that this was only their initial fire spiritual root, and that they could further increase it after cultivating the Pure Yang Body, made Chen Mobai feel a bit uneasy.
Well, he needed to continue working hard.
He continued to play with the Formless Puppet.
He didn’t use medium-grade spiritual stones to deduce the cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll but instead input the Red Flame Sword Technique into it.
Since he had decided to use this technique to cover up the Pure Yang Scroll, Chen Mobai naturally wouldn’t be stingy with spiritual stones.
The Formless Puppet’s ability to deduce techniques naturally far surpassed the deducing puppet he had custom-made. Since it was also powered by medium-grade spiritual stones, it easily deduced up to the Foundation Establishment level.
The Red Flame Sword Technique could follow the path of talismans or the sword.
During his time at the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Mobai had several exchanges with E Yun and others, and after chatting with Qi Refining cultivators like Zhuo Ming and Lu Jun, he realized that they regarded him as an unparalleled sword cultivation genius.
Back then, to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, Chen Mobai had no choice but to pretend to be more than he was.
Originally, he planned to slowly make up for this foundation after Foundation Establishment. With the Sword Forging Ring, there would be no problem for him to become a sword cultivator in the first two realms.
It was just the realm of “Sword Qi Like a Rainbow” that he wasn’t very confident in his own talent.
However, with so many sword cultivation manuals from the Immortal Gate and the Imperial Sword Department of the Weaponry Academy being a major department,
Chen Mobai felt that as long as he started enrolling in this main course next year, under the high-level perspective of the Foundation Establishment realm, with diligent study, he should be able to cultivate “Sword Qi Like a Rainbow” within two or three years.
By then, the reason for his long return to the Divine Wood Sect would have already been laid out in advance with E Yun.
However, with the Formless Puppet, it was no longer so troublesome.
With the abundant medium-grade spiritual stones as the energy source, the Formless Puppet, which had Chen Mobai’s personal attributes imported, easily succeeded in Foundation Establishment and then began to focus on deducing sword techniques under the conditions he had set in advance.
Soon, Chen Mobai saw the process of his sword cultivation forming auras and the auras turning into qi.
Then, the puppet raised its right hand, two fingers coming together to form a sword gesture, and gently tapped towards the window.
The spiritual energy drifting in the wooden hut converged in an instant, and a spark splashed from the fingertips, turning into a streak of red light in the blink of an eye.
“Not good!”
Chen Mobai’s expression changed, and he activated a defensive talisman with his left hand, wielded a blue handkerchief with his right, and also used a shield spell, ready to block in front of the sword rainbow to prevent it from erupting and destroying the mountaintop when a wisp of blue smoke rose.
The Red Flame Sword Rainbow, like a light bulb suddenly cut from power, flickered twice at the puppet’s fingertips before completely extinguishing.
The gathered spiritual energy dispersed, but this was not enough to threaten Chen Mobai, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
He gently wielded the blue handkerchief in his hand, suppressing all the residual sword qi, and then slowly dissipated it into nothingness.
After all this was done, he opened the head of the Formless Puppet.
Sure enough, the medium-grade spiritual stone had been completely exhausted.
It was also for this reason that the Red Flame Sword Rainbow turned into a rootless tree and water without a source, unable to erupt.
While feeling fortunate, Chen Mobai remembered what Che Yucheng had said.
If the Formless Puppet was to exert the combat power of the Foundation Establishment level, it would need top-grade spiritual stones as the energy source.
The third realm of sword cultivation, “Sword Qi Like a Rainbow,” was the combat power of the Foundation Establishment level.
It was also for this reason that Chen Mobai, at the Qi Refining stage, was able to exhibit such strength, and was highly valued by the Divine Wood Sect, who believed that once he grew up, he would be invincible among his peers.
Chen Mobai took out a USB drive and copied all the data from the Formless Puppet’s recent deduction of his cultivation of the Red Flame Sword Technique.
As long as he cultivated in this manner, Chen Mobai could cultivate “Sword Qi Like a Rainbow” without any detours.
But he definitely wouldn’t waste time on this now.
After some thought, Chen Mobai took out the Azure Water Array Disk embedded with a top-grade spiritual stone from his storage bag.This was the superior-grade spirit stone he had retrieved from the Water Mansion specifically to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill for his father, Chen Xinglan. Unfortunately, it ended up being unnecessary.
Although the superior-grade spirit stone was bound by the formation plate, it had already been activated, and the spiritual energy was slowly leaking out every moment.
Chen Mobai had previously ignored it, but now he planned to place it inside the formless puppet.
Not only would this allow the puppet to exhibit the combat power of a Foundation Establishment level, but the energy system within the formless puppet was also far superior to that of the Azure Water Formation’s formation plate.
Once the superior-grade spirit stone was placed inside, as long as the puppet wasn’t used, the spiritual energy would not dissipate.
Chen Mobai was already well-versed in the Azure Water Formation and had prepared no less than three schemes to extract the superior-grade spirit stone.
Taking up a set of prepared jade tools, Chen Mobai spent nearly two hours to finally remove the superior-grade spirit stone from the formation plate and quickly inserted it into the energy slot in the head of the formless puppet.
Click!
The energy slot crafted by Che Yucheng could adapt to any shape of spirit stone, expanding and contracting freely.
As the superior-grade spirit stone settled in, it was perfectly secured, and strands of spiritual energy began to circulate. In the span of a breath, the joints of the formless puppet lit up with an unprecedented glow.
Chen Mobai immediately employed the “Descent of the Divine” technique, merging his consciousness into it.
“What tremendous power!”
Although he hadn’t used it, Chen Mobai’s consciousness reflected the recently deduced Red Flame Sword Art, with its sword qi soaring like a rainbow.
If he wished, at the expense of this superior-grade spirit stone, he could wield the power of a third-layer Foundation Establishment sword cultivator with this formless puppet.
No, that’s not right. The Red Flame Sword Art is a technique from the Tianhe Realm; there’s no such thing as a third-layer Foundation Establishment.
In professional terms, it should be the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage!
After the excitement, Chen Mobai withdrew his consciousness and placed the formless puppet, now filled with the superior-grade spirit stone, back into the puppet box.
He felt it was time to return to the Shenmu Sect.
Apart from reporting his success in Foundation Establishment, he also needed to exchange for the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Elixir of Immortality.
If convenient, he would also collect some fur from a second-order Mystic Spirit Rabbit.
Then, back to the Yun Kingdom.
The bamboo fruits of the Golden-Edged Jade Bamboo should also be ripe by now.
After harvesting the bamboo fruits, he could collect all the jade bamboo within the Water Mansion.
