Chen Mobai opened his eyes.
He took out the mobile phone by his side and opened the app that measures spiritual energy.
[Spiritual Energy Value: 89]
How could this be? This is already at the value of a high-tier Rank-2 Spirit
Vein.
Chen Mobai thought there was a problem with the software, so he restarted it.
After placing it on his crossed legs, he tested it again, but the value surprisingly rose by two points.
His eyes widened. He sprang up, picked up his phone, and walked around the edges of this cultivation-specific side hall.
He finally discovered that the closer he was to the meditation mat, the higher the spiritual energy value became.
The peak was nearing 100.
“Could this mat be a treasure?”
Chen Mobai murmured to himself. Not daring to be negligent, he gently picked up the mat.
Then he placed it on the ground of the outer hall and measured it with his mobile phone again.
[Spiritual Energy Value: 60]
It was not because of the mat, so there must be something mysterious within this side hall.
After a careful procedure of elimination, Chen Mobai found he was closer to the
truth.
He returned to the side hall and placed the mobile phone where the mat used to
He measured the spiritual energy again.
[Spiritual Energy Value: 93]
“It’s here.”
Chen Mobai confirmed that the vibrant spiritual energy almost at Rank-3 was surging from this spot.
It seemed clear that Liu Yanpei was aware of this, hence he placed the meditation mat here. It was even possible that this cultivation room was specifically made for this purpose.
So, what exactly caused such abundant spiritual energy in this place?
Filled with curiosity, Chen Mobai lightly tapped the floor tile at this spot.
Thud, thud, thud, followed by a series of knocks…
He found a hollow brick and lifted it with his suction technique.
in an instant, an even more vigorous and powerful spiritual energy gushed out.
It even transformed into a visible white mist, rising like a spirit snake.
Chen Mobai glanced at his phone screen.
[Spiritual Energy Value: 112]
Surprisingly, it had reached the level of a lower-level Rank-3- Could this place be the source of the Spirit Vein for the entire Water Mansion?
Bending over, he waited for the mist of spiritual energy to dissipate, and the spiritual energy value to fall back to the Rank-2 level. Finally, Chen Mobai saw the full view under the brick.
It was an empty space, housing a palm-sized, round, black iron plate. In the center of the plate, a transparent spirit stone was embedded.
Chen Mobai recognized it. This iron plate must be the location of the Array Plate of the Azure Water Formation.
He had no idea it was hidden here.
The Azure Water Formation had the ability to “gather spirits,” but even so, it wouldn’t cause the leap from a Rank-2 Spirit Vein to a Rank-3 spiritual energy concentration.
The reason must be the Spirit Stone embedded in the Array Plate.
After confirming that the Array Plate was fine, Chen Mobai put his hand on the transparent Spirit Stone, faintly flashing with multicolored light from its interior.
As soon as he touched it, he felt something extraordinary.
Unprecedentedly potent spiritual energy surged into his arm’s meridians and acupuncture points, turning his arm’s skin red.
This was a phenomenon caused by his body unable to withstand such a powerful spiritual energy.
Chen Mobai immediately let go of his hand, feeling the numbness in his arm after being filled with powerful spiritual energy, his eyes were burning intensely as he stared at the spirit stone embedded on the array plate.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this should be a high-grade spirit stone.
Only the spiritual energy contained in a high-grade spirit stone could be so powerful.
After all, a high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to ten thousand lower-grade spirit stones.
That is to say, the source of the Spirit Vein and the source of spiritual power for the Azure Water Formation of the water mansion all relied on this high-grade spirit stone embedded on the array plate.
Was it necessary to go to such lengths just to eat a fish and bamboo shoots? Given Liu Yanpei’s status, he definitely couldn’t have access to a resource like high-grade spirit stone.
Only the gluttonous Gold Core master from the Five Elements Sect could afford to give a high-grade Spirit Stone, specifically for creating a suitable environment in Lake Azure Cloud for cultivating Azure Blood Carp and Jade Bamboo shoots.
After hesitating for a long stint, Chen Mobai eventually placed the pavement stone back.
He also wanted to take this high-grade spirit stone, but doing so would basically ruin this water mansion.
He guessed that the jade bamboo in the neighboring wing would stop growing due to the lack of spiritual energy, and the power of the entire Azure Water Formation would diminish drastically due to losing its source of spiritual power. He had some fondness for this water mansion and couldn’t bear to see it destroyed.
In addition to that, there was a more important reason, this high-grade Spirit Stone had already been activated and its spiritual energy was constantly leaking.
Yet, due to the restraint of the Azure Water Formation’s array plate, the rate of this leakage was kept within a controllable range. It formed a good interaction with the water vein of the Azure Waves Lake.
Perhaps after a hundred years, a Rank-2 high-grade Spirit Vein could be cultivated from it.
If Chen Mobai were to remove this high-grade spirit stone from the array plate, without the restraint of the Azure Water Formation, it would be like carrying a moving spirit vein.
Walking around, especially in such an environment as the Tianhe realm, it would be blatantly advertising to Loose Cultivators that he carries a treasure and it would invite them to rob and kill him.
“I will go back and check the data to see if there’s a way to seal the open high-grade Spirit Stone again.”
Muttering to himself, Chen Mobai moved the meditation cushion back onto the array plate.
He sat down cross-legged and consumed a bottle of Qi-replenishing Spirit
Water.
The spiritual energy, far richer and purer than before, was constantly gushing out from beneath him. He refined it along the route of Five Elements Cultivation and incorporated it into the large spiritual power vortex in the Dantian Qi Sea.
Half a day later, Chen Mobai, who had completed cultivating the Five Elements, again put into motion Chic Robe True Man’s transformation technique, beginning to convert the Five Elements’ spiritual power into Pure Yang Scroll spiritual power.
In this round of cultivation, his efficiency indeed improved a bit than before.
The addition of the Fire Spirit Root greatly sped up his conversion of Five Elements spiritual power.
After nearly two hours, Chen Mobai slowly ended his cultivation.
Feeling his Five Elements Cultivation maintaining its progress at the Qi Cultivation’s seventh level, he took out Qing Nu’s “Fire Clearing Pill contentedly.
This is one of the very few spirit pills in the immortal gate that can increase divine sense targeted at Qi Practitioners.
Qing Nu had already told him about all the taboos and refining methods for taking the medicine. Chen Mobai checked them one by one in his mind, confirmed that his spirit and body were at a peak state, opened the vial, and poured out a pill.
It was a green pill.
But originally it was pure white. Qing Nu knew Chen Mobai disliked the taste of medicine, so after its creation, she purposely coated it with a sugar layer. This not only sealed its medical taste but also improved its rather plain taste. Naturally, Chen Mobai didn’t know this. He just felt that the “Fire Clearing Pill” was aptly named since it was indeed green.
He opened his mouth to take it, and then swallowed it with warm water brought from home.
The medicinal property of the Fire Clearing Pill has to slowly dissipate on an empty stomach within half an hour.
Chen Mobai closed his eyes and used his divine sense to carefully sense it.
A little while later, he felt waves of coolness rising from his abdomen, flowing into his heart, getting burned by the heart flame, then seeping into the sea of his consciousness.
The Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique started operating.
In his contemplation, the green paulownia seedling, originally with only two tender buds, seemed to receive the nourishment of a drizzle. It sprouted another green bud again..
