How to practice? Figure it out yourself!
“Xuan, could you find out the origin of this Returning Essence Secret Technique?”
Chen Mobai asked his young disciple, Luo Yixuan, who nodded and shared her speculation.
“There’s a Guiyuan Sect in the Ming Nation. Although now it’s in decline, it had produced Golden Core cultivators a thousand years ago. I suspect this secret technique might have originated from them.”
Ming Nation, among the nineteen nations of the Eastern Wilderness, is under the jurisdiction of the Earth Vein of the Five Elements Sect.
“If you have time, gather some information about this Guiyuan Sect.”
After instructing Luo Yixuan, Chen Mobai dismissed her.
He was about to start practicing the Returning Essence Secret Technique.
Initially, he only wanted to learn it for reference. Because cultivators from the immortal world highly value their privacy, they do not practice spells that could hide their cultivation levels.
This kind of cultivation technique for hiding cultivation level is rare because they don’t usually worry about it.On the contrary, in the Tianhe Realm, those who can, often practice such a spell, using it as a mean of fishing and counter-fishing.
So there are many such spells; the Divine Wood Sect itself has collected several.
Unexpectedly, this Returning Essence Secret Technique brought by Luo Yixuan is excellent and very suitable for Chen Mobai.
Although he is merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he possesses a magic artifact tied to his life.
He could hide the Longevity Spiritual Power within the Six Sun Divine Fire Mirror.
With his current realm, practicing such a secret technique is easy as pie.
After ten days, he, who has been taking Longevity Elixirs while practicing the Returning Essence Secret Technique, quickly mastered the first layer.
However, just as he was preparing to smoothly master the second layer, he ran into a minor obstacle.
The Six Sun Divine Fire Mirror is fire-attributed, it finds the wood-attributed spiritual power delicious. After the liquid Longevity Spiritual Power was injected, there was an instinctive eager reaction, as if it wanted to consume it.
After employing the bodiless doll for deduction and trial-and-error, Chen Mobai found a solution. Using his divine sense to suppress the fluctuations of the magic artifact, he wrapped the Longevity Spiritual Power with it, similar to a domain, and then hid it within the Six Sun Divine Fire Mirror.
Luckily, as all these powers belonged to him, only a tiny bit of his divine sense was needed for this operation.
With his current divine sense, he could maintain this for two to three months.
But such long-term depletion is not ideal; he pondered if he could have another wood or water-attributed magic artifact tied to his life.
Generally, only Golden Core cultivators could create life-bound magic artifacts, referred to as “Legal Treasures” in the Tianhe Realm.
Of course, there are some special methods to attain this.
The Immortal Sect side has a series of artifact cultivation techniques derived from “The Union of Differences”.
In Tianhe Realm, while Chen Mobai was choosing cultivation techniques for Zhuo Ming, he had come across the “Mountain Chasing Decree”, the spell used to cultivate ‘Overturning Stamp’, which counts as a magic artifact tied to one’s life.
However, Tianhe Realm’s artifact cultivation techniques are slightly different from those of the Immortal Sect.
While the Immortal Sect’s “The Union of Differences” line advocates using artifacts to cultivate people, the Tianhe Realm, due to the value of magic artifacts, practices people cultivating artifacts. This method has a reputation for being wasteful, forcing cultivators to nurture their magic artifacts’ progression while also advancing their own cultivation. It could become extraordinarily troublesome.
However, Chen Mobai isn’t worried about wastage. As his status within the Divine Wood Sect continues to rise, resources like Spirit Stones are increasingly accessible. Now that he’s fully accomplished at the Foundation Establishment level with the Immortality Cultivation Technique, he could afford to cultivate another life-bound magic artifact.
But it’s a decision for another day.
As a life-bound magic artifact is of grave importance, if its embryo is not chosen carefully in the beginning, and it could only reach a low rank due to the initial limitations of the materials, it would have been better not to cultivate it.
Hence, the cultivation technique for magic artifacts in Tianhe Realm puts significant importance on leaving enough room for growth while creating the magic artifact’s embryo.
It shouldn’t say Rank-4, Rank-5, but at least it should ensure the capability of upgrading to Rank-3.
But Chen Mobai, who believes he has a bright future, thought that Rank-3 might not be his limit.
But he’s not too demanding either, he just wants a magical treasure embryo that can be upgraded to Rank-4.
Of course, if one could reach a higher rank, that would be better.
After another ten-day period and ingesting all the Longevity Elixirs, Chen Mobai finally stores 130 drops of Longevity Spiritual Power into the Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror and officially announces the end of his reclusive training.
He stands atop the mountain, full of vigor and enthusiasm, overlooking the bustling Xiao Nanshan below.
As it’s already autumn, Zhuo Ming has started leading ordinary people and low-level Qi Cultivation disciples in the harvest of various types of Spirit Rice. Not only is Luo Yixuan helping, but even Liu Wenbo, who is recuperating his elemental energy, is present.
Everyone in Xiao Nanshan knew about Chen Mobai’s importance he places on farming. Every time the Spirit Rice was harvested, as long as he wasn’t in reclusive training, he would personally partake in it.
So, in the past few years, Liu Wenbo and Zhuo Ming have never missed this Spirit Rice harvest season. Even Luo Yixuan, who is quite shrewd, quickly picked up on this after becoming a disciple and has been present every time.
Witnessing this scene from atop the mountain, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but feel greatly satisfied.
At least he has influenced those around him to appreciate agriculture, and his talent for farming was not wasted in this world.
After going back to his immortal abode to dye his hair again, Chen Mobai descends the mountain.
“Wen Bo, if your elemental energy hasn’t fully recovered, you don’t need to come over for the harvest.”
After Chen Mobai descended the mountain, the three disciples came to greet him without delay.
“As a disciple, I tend to grow sluggish after long periods of secluded training. I thought this would be a good time to be active.”
Liu Wenbo replied respectfully. His complexion had returned to its usual rosiness, but Chen Mobai sensed that his vitality and cultivation realm had not yet fully recovered.
“Ha ha, that’s fine. The four of us haven’t gathered together for quite a while. Today after the harvest, let’s all go to the mountain to keep me company over a drink.”
Over the years, Chen Mobai has increasingly embodied the poise of a master.
Laughing heartily after he finishes speaking, he walks over to a field of golden rice. He picks a heavy bundle of rice stalks and, with a face full of satisfaction, plucks a grain of Spirit Rice.
Feeling the abundant elemental energy within the full grain, he knows it’s another good harvest this year.
“Zhuo Ming, you did a good job.”
Chen Mobai compliments Zhuo Ming, which makes her a bit bashful and blushes, but she doesn’t forget to be modest.
“Big brother and little sister also helped a lot. If they hadn’t summoned the rain, we wouldn’t have this great yield.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Wenbo and Luo Yixuan immediately refused the credit, saying that they merely made a slight contribution, and that Zhuo Ming was the one who really worked hard.
“Very well, seeing you three have such a good relationship makes me very happy.”
Chen Mobai shakes the bundle of rice stalks in his hand with satisfaction, and in a blink of an eye, an invisible Sword Qi whips out, sweeping across the Spirit Field in front of him.
The Sword Qi precisely avoids all living creatures, only cutting the rice stalks.
With his help, the harvest of all the Spirit Fields is quickly completed. However, the subsequent processes of collecting, hulling, storing, and even brewing need to be done manually.
Chen Mobai doesn’t do everything by himself and leaves the arrangement to Zhuo Ming.
In the evening, the four disciples enjoy drinks and merriment on the peak of Xiao Nanshan.
Even the always modest Liu Wenbo gets drunk and ends up collapsing onto the table and falling asleep.
A rosy flush covers Luo Yixuan’s delicate and exquisite face, making her beautiful eyes even more bewitching. She suddenly transforms from a reserved lady of nobility into a charming young girl, radiating charm.
Apparently, the new wine is strong. Luo Yixuan stood up, bit her luscious lips, and walked towards Chen Mobai intending to propose a toast, but suddenly her eyes glazed over and she fell.
“Zhuo Ming, I never expected you to hold your liquor the best.”
Chen Mobai stretches out his hand to catch his young disciple, turns his head, and sees that Zhuo Ming’s cheeks are slightly flushed, but her eyes remain clear.
“Master, let me handle it.”
Normally seated behind her own table, Zhuo Ming quickly gets up upon seeing Luo Yixuan’s drunken state and comes over to take Luo Yixuan from Chen Mobai’s hands.
“Hmm, let’s call it a night. Take Yixuan down with you. Wen Bo can stay and rest on the mountain tonight.”
The more Chen Mobai looks at Zhuo Ming, the more he feels she’s suited to inherit his mantle. He smiles and praises her a few times.
