Chapter 362: 282: Core Formation Probability_2
“The seal on this item blocks divine sense and spiritual power. Only the Art of Spiritual Eyes can see directly through it.”
After saying this, Chen Mobai activated his Void Spirit Eye and then described what he saw in detail.
“You possess a True Spirit Root with dual attributes of earth and metal. This Star Concentrating Stone or this Sky Spider Hand is more suitable for you.”
In front of Duanmu Longrong and Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai compared the images from the Map of Treasures, asked about Lan Haitian’s spiritual root, and then gave his own opinion.
“If it’s for combat, naturally the Sky Spider Hand is more suitable.”
After Lan Haitian said this, he chose the Star Concentrating Stone.
“But in fact, I am not someone who enjoys battle. The reason I joined the Heaven Patching Group before was merely to obtain resources for Core Formation. After retirement, I probably will be casually fishing and gardening, so I choose this.”
The Star Concentrating Stone is a Rank-3 lower-grade magic artifact, mined from the extremely northern lands of the immortals.
The place naturally attracts meteor falls over time. After millions of years of impact, the permafrost layers have absorbed the power of the celestial stars. It was also nurtured at a yuan magnet pole, and then further refined by an artifact refiner from the Dance Tool Dao Academy, which made it a Rank-3 item just based on the material alone.
Most importantly, this Star Concentrating Stone is just an embryo of a magic artifact, which can be refined by anyone into their own legal treasure.
If Lan Haitian reaches Core Formation, he can use his own elixir fire to refine the Star Concentrating Stone into the magic artifact shape he likes.
For this reason, even though the Sky Spider Hand is a Rank-3 intermediate-grade magic artifact, Lan Haitian still chose the Star Concentrating Stone.
Apart from him saying that he does not wish to battle anymore, this reason is probably also included.
“Thank you for your academy’s gift.”
Although Lan Haitian has used many Rank-3 magic artifacts from the immortal doors in the Heaven Patching Group over the years, as a cultivator on the verge of Core Formation, his desire for his own legal treasure is incomparable to any Rank-3 item.
The Star Concentrating Stone contains the power of celestial stars and earth magnets, very suitable for his spiritual root. When Lan Haitian felt it for a while after getting his hand on it, he couldn’t help but reveal a look of joy due to his realm.
“With your foundation, coupled with the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, you might join us soon enough. Consider this as establishing good karma beforehand.”
Che Yucheng spoke his mind.
Lan Haitian once again expressed his thanks, bid farewell to Duanmu Longrong, and the three of them returned the way they came, leaving the Treasure Trove.
“When you visit the Huayang Dongtian one day, I will properly entertain you.”
At the entrance to Crimson Mountain, Lan Haitian sincerely said this when saying goodbye.
“Certainly.”
Chen Mobai nodded with a smile.
Next to him were Hua Zijing and Ming Yuhua who followed him over. At this moment, they finally couldn’t help themselves and went forward to ask Lan Haitian for an autograph.
In the eyes of these proud sons of heaven from the four major Daoist academies, being a celebrity meant nothing.
Only someone like Lan Haitian, a True Cultivator, was worthy of their admiration.
After saying goodbye, Chen Mobai returned to the first building.
“Has he left?”
“He said he is still going to stay in the vicinity of the Crimson City cave for a while to guard against Xiahou Weihuan projecting back into the Little Red Sky after he leaves.”
Che Yucheng listened, then nodded.
“He can probably reach Core Formation. This Star Concentrating Stone is just right for him.”
“Master, I feel with his talent, shouldn’t his success rate of reaching Core Formation be 100%?”
“What do you know? There is no such thing as 100% in this world. Moreover, reaching Core Formation is not the same as Foundation Establishment, which can be assisted by Critical Techniques. If it fails, even though there are pill powers, your life can be saved, but your realm will drop, there will be a significant loss of elemental energy, and there may not be a second chance for Core Formation.”
Che Yucheng shook his head, uttering a statement that caused Chen Mobai to worry.
Even someone with a foundation like Lan Haitian who also received the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pill, there is still a possibility of failure.
Then if he with such a weak foundation, wouldn’t his future be even more uncertain.
“Master, then what do you think. What are the chances for him reaching Core Formation?”
“About fifty percent.”
“That little?”
“He’s already at a high level, his Technique of Turning into Gold has cultivated to the Heavenly Spiritual Root realm, and combined with the Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill and the solid foundation of his Six Defense Sutra, they are almost comparable to those innate Heavenly Spiritual Roots.”
With Che Yucheng saying so, Chen Mobai was reminded.
The Heavenly Spiritual Root for Core Formation has a success possibility of 50%, is there a difference between this posterior cultivation and the prior one?
“Of course there is, or else why would the Heavenly Spiritual Roots get an exemption to enter the Four Great Daoist Academies? The Heavenly Spiritual Roots that are innate have the favor of the Heavenly Way, which not only can easily help in Foundation Establishment, but also during Core Formation, there’s a high probability of Enlightenment.”
Enlightenment?
It should be similar to the state after taking the Soul Awakening Dao Pill.
After hearing this, Chen Mobai was thinking this way in his mind, but he was also pretending to be a genius, so he dared not ask this question in front of Che Yucheng.
“The Heavenly Spiritual Roots promoted in the acquired way, although not as good as the innate, still have the advantage for Core Formation, and are even more friendly with the corresponding attributes of nature’s spiritual energy.”
Che Yucheng did not notice the change in Chen Mobai’s expression and kept on speaking.
“That’s why the cultivators who have reached Perfection in Foundation Establishment from the Immortal Sect, if their lifespan is long enough, will generally try to enhance their spiritual roots corresponding to their Cultivation Techniques to over 80 points, which can increase the probability of Core Formation by about 20%.”
After listening to Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but express that he had learned something new.
He had just completed his Foundation Establishment and had not looked for Core Formation resources yet. Today, he learned about this thing because of Lan Haitian, and he couldn’t help but praise himself for his self-discipline, dedicating extra time every day to the progress of his Pure Yang Daoist Body by using Spirit Stones.
Moreover, he also had to thank Che Yucheng for reminding him. If he hadn’t urged him to build up his base, he probably wouldn’t have gotten this opportunity to obtain the Fire Spirit Body.
Because of this, his Fire Spirit Root was elevated to 63 points. Just by completing the Body of Five Yangs and the Body of Six Yangs, his Fire Spirit Root can be elevated to 81 points, just stepping into the threshold of the Heavenly Spiritual Root.
By calculating this way, just through the Dual Attribute Technique and the Heavenly Fire Spiritual Root, he could have a 50% probability of Core Formation, which is comparable to Qing Nu, who has the innate Heavenly Spiritual Root.
If he could get the Liquid Gold Jade Return Pills from the Immortal Sects again, then it would basically be a sure shot for him towards his Core Formation.
The more he thought, the more excited he became.
Chen Mobai couldn’t help but wish to catch up with Lan Haitian, complete Foundation Establishment, then make a Core formation in one go, and reach the peak.
“By the way, you can start preparing to break the record of Yuan Yang’s ancestor’s straight wins.”
At this time, Che Yucheng’s words brought Chen Mobai back to reality.
“Isn’t this an easy task? I’ll probably just have to fight one more round with Lu Qiulong.”
Chen Mobai shrugged his shoulders, and he had to say, of all the battles he had in Little Red Sky, Lu Qiulong was the most threatening. If Lu Qiulong could fully control Ling, he might be a tough opponent.
“No, your opponent will be Sima Xingyu.”
But Che Yucheng smirked and named a person Chen Mobai didn’t expect.
“He’s only at the 8th level of Foundation Establishment, how could he be matched with me?”
Chen Mobai looked confused.
“He self-funded his cultivation level to the 6th level of Foundation Establishment, then the operators of Little Red Sky can match you with him.”
“So what if he wins? Pure Yang Academy would lose all its face.”
Chen Mobai frowned, if he were from the Pure Yang Academy, he probably wouldn’t be able to hold his head up on the Internet for the rest of his life because of this.
Probably everyone in the Hundred and Twenty Mansions could taunt the students of the Pure Yang Academy.
“Saving the face of Yuan Yang’s ancestor is one thing, the main reason is that Nangong Xuanyu was provoked by me previously and made a bet with me.”
“A bet?”
Chen Mobai was puzzled. What bet had led the Pure Yang Academy to such a shameless state?
“The operation of Little Red Sky can only cover the territories that the Spirit Vein of Crimson Mountain passes through, but Gongye Zhixu wants to fully activate this Spiritual Treasure and cover all the blessed lands and caves. In addition to Rank-5 Spirit Veins, a Rank-5 Magic Artifact is needed as a core to rely on.”
“Previously, Gongye Zhixu’s intention was not to trouble two with the same matter, to borrow our Daoist Academy’s Nine Dragon Cauldron, which was also of suitable attributes. The Dean initially agreed, but he still wanted to discuss it with us, so he did not agree on the spot.”
“After I came to know about it, I indicated to the Dean to let me deal with this matter completely.”
“When Pure Yang Academy revealed its ambition, I called Gongye Zhixu and said that the Primordial Yang Sword of Pure Yang Academy was also Rank-5. It had been sustained by the Spirit Stones of the Immortal Gate for years to keep it from falling in grade. This was also a huge expense, and the three major palaces had always had grumbles about it. If the Primordial Yang Sword could be used for Little Red Sky, then this financial expenditure of the Immortal Gate would also be justified.”
When Chen Mobai heard this, he blinked his eyes.
He needed to learn more from the methods of his teacher.
