Once Chen Mobai returned home, he put the Green Paulownia Seedling on the balcony. He wanted to water it, but was also afraid of overwatering and killing the sapling.
He consulted his phone on how to care for it, only to find contrasting opinions from many people.
However, one point was agreed upon by all.
Its best to grow it in a location rich in spiritual energy because the richer the spiritual energy, the faster the growth.
Green Paulownia Seedlings are among the few types of spirit wood in the immortal gates that can infinitely rank up. Currently, the highest-ranked one is the Rank-4 Highborn Azure Paulownia in Red Sandstone City.
Despite the seemingly unlimited potential of the Green Paulownia Seedlings, their growth is extremely slow.
The Azure Paulownia in Red Sandstone City was planted by a Rank-3 Lingzhi Husband and it supposedly took 200 years for the sapling to grow into a Rank-1 spirit wood.
Once a Green Paulownia seedling takes root, it can manaage the earth veins on its own and enhance spiritual energy, co-existing and augmenting the spiritual land. But, if it had been grown on a Rank-4 Spiritual Land right from the start, it wouldn’t have taken over four thousand years for this Azure Paulownia to become a Rank-4 Spiritwood.
As soon as he saw the words ‘rich in spiritual energy’, Chen Mobai naturally thought of his Water Mansion.
In a flash of silver light, he teleported to the Tianhe Realm.
He placed the Green Paulownia sapling on the study table in the side hall and switched on the Azure Water Array. He then fetched a pot of water from outside the defense shield and poured it onto the root area.
According to online sources, this kind of Spirit Wood is the easiest to raise. All it requires is a location abundant in spiritual energy and regularly scheduled watering. Once the Green Paulownia seedling bears its first fruit and flower, even watering can be omitted. It can then grow on its own.
After this Green Paulownia sapling grows, every part of it would be valuable.
The bark and leaves can be used for making talisman paper, the sap can act as ink as well as pest repellent, and the wood is great for making musical instruments and boxes. However, the most valuable of all are the flowers and fruits, which are the primary ingredients for refining the Rank-1 Highborn Fire Clearing Pill.
The Fire Clearing Pill is one of the few Dan medicines known to enhance one’s divine sense. It is considered one of the most precious pills for Qi practitioners in the late stage.
Thinking of Divine Sense, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but close his eyes. The effect of the Dream-shattering Song was still present but it was not as clear as last night. The spiritual power he saw seemed to have a layer of gauze over it, no longer transparent.
According to Chen Baolan’s reminder, the effect of Dream-shattering Song could last for three to four days. During this period, it is best not to practice spiritual power, but instead to meditate on one’s mind and sense the creation of divine consciousness, by trying to get a feel of seeing through the fog.
Divine Sense is the sixth sense beyond the five senses, which originates from the Sea of Hearts and is established in the Sea of Consciousness.
Once Cultivators have cultivated their Divine Sense, they can check their internal body condition. While operating spiritual power, they can cross-check it with the correct route in the cultivation technique manual, correct it, and refine spiritual energy in the most perfect state.
The stronger the Divine Sense, the more body parts one can check. Once the Foundation Establishment is successful, this divine sense can even leave the body and observe the outside world.
Many techniques to break through an illusion use divine sense as their foundation.
At present, Chen Mobai just had his divine sense stimulated, and can only check his Dantian Qi Sea, feeling the fluctuations and rotations of spiritual power.
This rotation of spiritual power was mentioned by Qing Ping during his lecture. The rotation of spiritual power in this way can help condensation. However, before Chen Mobai had divine sense, he could control the rotation of spiritual power, but he was unaware of the exact situation.
Today, he used his divine sense to observe it and found out that the rotation of spiritual power was as slow as a turtle’s pace, and the trajectory formed was not even circular but an irregular flattened shape.
“Once I truly cultivate the divine sense, I have to correct this.”
Chen Mobai murmured to himself.
With this thought in mind, he opened the auxiliary cultivation software, and entered “Divine Sense” and “Qi Cultivation Period” as keywords for search.
The search result was quite small, only two pages with a dozen or so posts.
Since those who can post and upload in the auxiliary cultivation software are at least Foundation Establishment Cultivators, content about divine sense cultivation during the Qi Cultivation period would not be of their concern by then.
Fortunately, due to the large number of people, some Foundation Establishment Cultivators researched the essentials of cultivating divine sense during the Qi Cultivation period for their juniors or disciples.
Chen Mobai, not wanting to waste the effect of Dream-shattering Song, and also since he was not allowed to cultivate spiritual power, decided to carefully study the posts.
After reading through the posts, his brows slightly furrowed.
There were two paths for Divine Sense cultivation spread out over two pages.
One way is the traditional method of nurturing the body and cultivating the spirit, cultivating the heart and mind, till the thought force flourishes and naturally harmonizes into divine sense. Those who opted for this path could exchange the “Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique” at the National Library.
The other way was a little aggressive, involving a special kind of Mind Incense to trigger the astral projection of one’s mind.
Followers of this path insist that Divine Sense naturally lies deep within the human brain since birth, but it has to self-seal due to the entry of acquired Qi. Since the Divine Sense governs the human body and is inherently active, it only needs a catalyst to reactivate it.
However, for Qi Practitioners, their Divine Sense is weak and they cannot astral project for a long time like Foundation Establishment Cultivators can. This is why during the use of this method, someone should be by their side to immediately extinguish the Mind Incense once they manage to astrally project their mind.
After several activations of astral projections, Cultivators naturally seize their Divine Sense, a kind of long-term stimulation exercise. Believers in this path have given it a distinctive name: “Divine Consciousness Fitness”.
“Isn’t this just like listening to the Dream-shattering Song every day? But listening to the song is a pleasure, this, on the other hand, seems more like a torment.”
Chen Mobai immediately understood, then he checked this stimulation cultivation method in the National Library, and it was also recorded, named “Exciting God Travelling Heaven Technique”. But it required the authority of Foundation Establishment Cultivators to exchange it.
Obviously, the Immortal Gates discourage this hence unlike the traditional “Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique”, which can be downloaded by Qi Cultivators for just 1000 points.
Even though Chen Mobai enjoyed exercise, he only liked it but never put it into action.
Utilizing his higher authority, he checked the catalog and outline of the “Exciting God Travelling Heaven Technique” and found that the thought incense used for cultivation is a Rank-2 Dan medicine. His initial interest immediately died down.
Rank-2 Dan medicines also require the real name certification of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to purchase, as they are controlled items.
It seems that this “Exciting God Travelling Heaven Technique” is primarily a method used by those with Foundation Establishment elders at home, to initiate Divine Sense for the younger generations.
After thinking for a while, Chen Mobai decided to attend to the day’s main business.
He got up and opened his bag. Inside was an ancient costume wig, the one he had ordered online to match the ancient style.
Actually, these items had arrived yesterday, but it was not until today, after he had sent Chen Xinglan to the Red Dawn Institution, that he had a chance to try on the costume.
The size was all right, the ancient costume fitting well on his body. After putting on the crown and wig, he looked like a refined young man.
He checked his appearance in the small mirror in his hand and made sure there were no shortcomings. Chen Mobai took a deep breath and opened the Large Formation of the Water Mansion.
He was finally about to set foot on the land of Tianhe realm..
