I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1918: Chapter 942: Dan Cauldron Jade Tree, Primordial Yang Treasure Beads (Part 2)

”Our lineage, does it truly possess such profound depths?”

Chen Mobai was taken by surprise upon hearing this.

He counted carefully and found that the jade tree bore a total of thirty-six fruits, each varying in color. Yet under his Echoes in the Void spell, he vaguely discerned the howling of the Artifact Spirits.

According to Ancestor Yun Ya’s notes, the Dan Ding Taoist mastered the Stat Fire, making him a grand maestro in both alchemy and artifact refining. His title of ’Dan Ding’ originated from this mastery.

He even once collaborated with others in the Central Dojo to refine a furnace of seventh-rank elixirs.

Nevertheless, later on, because ”The Union of Differences” proved to be too advantageous, the Dan Ding Sect focused more on artifact refining, gradually allowing alchemy to decline.

”The Yuxiao Master is the Artifact Spirit of one of the fruits on the jade tree. Back in the day, Ancestor Yun Ya took it and refined it into a Yuxiao, which was then gifted to his Daoist couple...”

Master Chengxuan revealed another secret, causing Chen Mobai to have a sudden realization.

”Doesn’t this mean that all the Artifact Spirits on this jade tree can assume human form and serve as Nascent Soul Seeds?”

”Not exactly. The Yuxiao Master was able to become Jiang Xuanzhu, probably not solely because of being an Artifact Spirit, but perhaps due to Ancestor Yun Ya or even his Daoist couple’s influence. Over the millennia, many cultivators in our lineage have picked fruits from this jade tree, but only she has become spiritual and taken a human form.”

Master Chengxuan’s words made Chen Mobai nod lightly. Then, he pointed to a deep pit nearby.

”Ahem, this is where I experimented with Blooming Moment and transplanted that Fire Spirit Tree. I hurried out back then and forgot to tidy up...”

Master Chengxuan spoke with some embarrassment, then gently waved his sleeve, filling the pit.

”This is the area with the densest spiritual energy within the small realm. It’s unfortunate that the fruit related to the sword was taken by Ancestor Yun Ya long ago, but the fruit for refining treasure bead artifacts is still here. If you wish to refine Primordial Yang Treasure Beads, you can take this one!”

Master Chengxuan pointed to a green fruit, and Chen Mobai nodded lightly, recognizing its significant worth to him.

Subsequently, Master Chengxuan instructed how to collect the jade tree fruits, even demonstrating once. However, as it was his first time, his actions were a bit clumsy; it took three tries before he finally picked a white fruit from the jade tree.

These thirty-six fruits on the jade tree were the most proud achievements of the Dan Ding Taoist in his lifetime.

Eighteen different artifact refining insights had even become spiritual, allowing even a cultivator with no artifact refining foundation to refine them and directly advance to a fifth-rank Artifact Refiner.

However, it would be a great waste to do so. According to the rules of the Dan Ding Sect, one must elevate oneself to a fifth-rank Artifact Refiner before selecting a fruit for refining. This way, the artifact attainment represented by the fruit could be elevated to the sixth rank.

Therefore, only fifth-rank Artifact Refiners of the Dance Tool Dao Academy throughout generations can obtain the fruits from the jade tree.

Yet, as the attainment of a sixth-rank Artifact Refiner within the Immortal Gate served practically no purpose, Master Chengxuan, despite being qualified for refinement, had not chosen any fruit until now.

With the opening war and after obtaining Star Gold, seeing his Lifespan Artifact having the potential to upgrade to the sixth rank, he went ahead and took the fruit shaped like a mirror artifact.

”Oh yes, I almost forgot about this...”

As Master Chengxuan was about to leave, he suddenly recalled something and handed the pre-crafted fifth-rank Vermilion Fruit Tree Lampwick to Chen Mobai.

”Thank you, Principal!”

Chen Mobai expressed his gratitude once more.

Before long, Chen Mobai was the only one left in the Yuping Small Realm.

Chen Mobai took out Turtle Treasure, set a location here, and named it.

He felt it was a bit redundant.

Given his current status, he could come and go in the Yuping Small Realm as he pleased, without requiring Turtle Treasure.

Yet after using Turtle Treasure to set the location, things became much calmer.

After doing this, Chen Mobai approached the jade tree. While his memory was still fresh, he followed Master Chengxuan’s method and picked the fruit representing the treasure bead.

Once the fruit was picked, another identical fruit appeared in its original place.

However, this fruit was illusory and transparent.

Indicating that its essence had been taken.

If anyone in the Dan Ding Sect could cultivate to the realm of the Dan Ding Taoist, they could regenerate the essence of the picked fruit.

Sadly, the Dan Ding Sect has persisted until now, and no one has been able to achieve this.

Chen Mobai gave a bow to the jade tree, then sat down beneath it, gazing at the fruit in his palm carved as if from jade, eyes gently closing.

The top of his head suddenly became transparent, followed by a crystalline, jade-like small figure flying out, which was precisely Chen Mobai’s Nascent Soul.

Without the realm of Divinity Transformation, refining the fruit of the jade tree requires the use of the Nascent Soul.

Upon the emergence of the Nascent Soul, Chen Mobai immediately felt a harmonious connection with the fifth-rank spiritual energy within the Yuping Small Realm, and a dense surge of spiritual energy rushed towards him with every movement.

Utilizing a spell with the Nascent Soul increases its power manifold, proving this theory.

However, the emergence of the Nascent Soul is considered a desperate measure in both the Tianhe Realm and the Earth Element Star. Moreover, before achieving Divinity Transformation, the Nascent Soul is exceedingly fragile, and prolonged manipulation of nature’s spiritual energy may even lead to the Nascent Soul’s dispersal or the depletion of one’s essence.
