Chapter 1149: Chapter 633: Melting Fire Cultivation (14,400 Monthly Votes Bonus Chapter) Chapter 1149: Chapter 633: Melting Fire Cultivation (14,400 Monthly Votes Bonus Chapter) Performing the bow was Luo Yixuan.

Her success in Core Formation delighted Chen Mobai greatly.

Although it was Elder Ming’s Ghost Pill, once transformed into an external incarnation, it effectively became Luo Yixuan’s own strength.

At the very least, when facing Foundation Establishment Practitioners, she could achieve an overwhelming advantage in realm.

With this, the Divine Wood Sect now had four cultivators at the Golden Core Stage, and could undoubtedly claim the title of the Number One Sect in the Eastern Wilderness, even without considering Mo Douguang.

“Come here, your eldest senior brother and I have been waiting for you for several days,”
Chen Mobai laughed and waved to Luo Yixuan, who had just stepped onto the shore. She immediately glided over the water, passing a stunned and motionless Han Zhiling, and arrived under the Green Chan Tea Tree.

“Master, this is your item.”

After arriving, Luo Yixuan promptly handed a storage bag to Chen Mobai.

Contained within were the Formless Puppet and the Haotian Mirror.

If she encountered any Ghost Cultivators on the Yellow Springs Path, as long as they were not Rank-4 Ghost Kings, the Pure Yang Fire could at least ensure Luo Yixuan’s safe retreat.

“How does it feel after forming your core?”

Chen Mobai nodded to Elder Ming, who was hiding in Luo Yixuan’s shadow, took the items, and stored them in his domain, then inquired.

After all, this type of core formation was a first in the Eastern Wilderness.

“Report to the Saint Child, everything went as smoothly as we had anticipated,”
Elder Ming responded briefly. Although there are always variables in plans, this time, there were no surprises whatsoever.

Once they entered the Yellow Springs Path, they found a Yin Meridian Spiritual Land and commenced Core Formation.

Though a couple of minor ghosts wandered by unwittingly, Elder Ming dispersed them all, turning them into the Yin Qi needed for Core Formation.

Being a powerful Ghost Cultivator nearly at Perfect Core Formation, Elder Ming had an easy time reforming a Ghost Pill, succeeding effortlessly.

After forming the core, the two of them didn’t linger on the Yellow Springs Path and immediately returned to the Eastern Wilderness, then found this place.

Luo Yixuan, eager to show off her achievements in front of her master, had Elder Ming demonstrate her newfound power, causing quite a commotion.

“Not bad, not bad, you’ve done very well. No unusual feelings in your body?”

Chen Mobai was well aware of her personality and generously praised her, asking concernedly.

Luo Yixuan, hearing this, was even more delighted.

“Master, I’ve never felt better.”

While speaking, Luo Yixuan skillfully extended her arm for Chen Mobai to feel her pulse.

“Hmm, your Yellow Springs Spiritual Power has already condensed into a Ghost Pill, a perfectly rounded unity. However, you’re still at the Early Foundation Stage, so in the future don’t be rash and try to manipulate it yourself. If you encounter an enemy you can’t handle, let your external incarnation take over.”

Luo Yixuan’s condition was quite peculiar, with Elder Ming’s condensed Ghost Pill occupying the central position of her Dantian Qi Sea, and her flesh had also transformed to Rank-3. But the Black Water Spiritual Power she cultivated on her own, like water ripples, lingered in a corner.

If she took action herself, she could only manipulate the Black Water Spiritual Power, effectively as a cultivator at the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

But if she activated her external incarnation, allowing Elder Ming to control her body, she could instantly unleash Golden Core Stage’s Yellow Springs Spiritual Power.

It was as if she could switch between a larger or smaller size at will, and very flexibly at that.

“Yes, Master!”

Luo Yixuan retracted her hand and obediently nodded.

Although she had effectively reached the Golden Core Stage, she didn’t consider herself equal to her master, who seemed like a god, and she kept her sense of place.

“However, now that you’ve condensed a Ghost Pill, you’ll encounter no bottlenecks in your Blackwater Cultivation until the Early Golden Core Stage. It seems among my disciples, you will rise from behind to become the highest in cultivation.”

Chen Mobai noticed this after his examination. Luo Yixuan, upon hearing this, was overjoyed.

This meant all she needed was to enhance her Spiritual Power.

For Luo Yixuan’s future Core Formation, she just needed her Divine Sense to complete its transformation to succeed.

Of course, the Heavenly Tribulation was unavoidable.

Moreover, due to cultivating Yellow Springs Spiritual Power, the power of her tribulations may double, becoming extremely terrifying.

Luo Yixuan’s situation made Chen Mobai think of a forbidden technique he had once come across.

It was the “Twofold Divine Technique” practiced by Yang Jing and Kong Feichen.

Luo Yixuan and her external incarnation, Elder Ming, were naturally ‘twofold,’ and with Elder Ming swearing an oath on her Dao Heart, she would definitely not turn against Luo Yixuan. Would it be suitable to practice this to enhance Divine Sense?

But after some thought, Chen Mobai decided against it.

After all, the Twofold Divine Technique was forbidden. In order to solve the misfortune of their secondary personalities, Yang Jing and Kong Feichen even betrayed their Immortal Gate and sought refuge with the Ascension Sect.

Young Luo Yixuan already possessed Golden Core Stage power, and it seemed to Chen Mobai that she was slightly inflated, even though she remained obedient in front of him.

It was better to let her cultivate her Divine Sense through hard work to solidify her foundation.

Later, if she really got stuck because of her Divine Sense, he would then consider whether to obtain the Twofold Divine Technique and teach it to her.

At this time, Han Zhiling came over with the prepared food, and Liu Wenbo immediately exited the restriction to take the food back.

“Take her along as well,”
Chen Mobai, noticing the departing Han Zhiling, spoke to his eldest disciple. Liu Wenbo, after hearing this, placed the food down and once more exited the restriction to bring Han Zhiling inside.

“You must not reveal a word about what you have seen today.”

Since Luo Yixuan’s condensed core was a Ghost Pill, Chen Mobai had no intention of publicizing the matter. Moreover, her power as a Golden Core Stage cultivator would serve a greater purpose if concealed, so he instructed Han Zhiling calmly.

Of course, this was mainly due to Luo Yixuan’s inability to resist showing off; otherwise, Han Zhiling would not have seen anything.

But Luo Yixuan felt wronged. She had thought that Chen Mobai and Liu Wenbo had found a secluded place just for the two of them, unaware that Han Zhiling, an outsider, was there cooking and serving.

“Yes, Sect Leader!”

Han Zhiling, after hearing this, did not hesitate and made an oath of her Dao heart in front of the master and his two disciples.

“You girl, you are rather fated with me. These days, having consumed your cooking, if you have any confusion about cultivation, feel free to ask me,” Chen Mobai kindly offered to teach, noting that Han Zhiling had potential, and he spoke with a gentle expression.

The youthful girl with a handsome face hesitated slightly upon hearing this, but then, clenching her teeth, she knelt down before Chen Mobai to pay her respects.

“Please, Sect Leader, accept me as your disciple!”

Chen Mobai’s reputation as a great sage and good teacher had spread across the entire Eastern Wilderness in the past decade or two, and countless cultivators wished to be guided by him.

After the death of her father, Han Zhiling felt the impermanence of life acutely, understanding that if she did not cultivate with great vigor, in the end, she would merely return to dust.

If she could become a disciple of Chen Mobai, she at least had a solid foundation for Foundation Establishment in the future.

Previously, Han Zhiling might not have had the courage to do so, but after Luo Yixuan revealed the power of Core Formation, she was deeply shaken.

Cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect all knew that Chen Mobai had four direct disciples, each a paragon of the sect.

This third disciple, known as the Southern Mountain Fairy, was the one with the highest talent and was the first among Chen Mobai’s disciples to achieve Foundation Establishment, but rumor had it she had gone missing for over a decade.

Nobody expected that she had been in seclusion to form her core.

Indeed, she lived up to the legend, the most talented like her master amongst Chen Mobai’s disciples!

It was because of this, after Chen Mobai offered to instruct her in cultivation, that Han Zhiling immediately paid homage as a disciple.

“Stand up… I do not accept Qi Practitioners as disciples.”

Chen Mobai, using the same reason he had for Song Huangdae, declined, but he was a bit more tactful with Han Zhiling.

Uplifted by pure Yang spiritual power, Han Zhiling got to her feet, her striking face filled with disappointment.

“To receive instruction in cultivation from the master is a rare opportunity, do not miss it,” Liu Wenbo, the kind-hearted one, reminded her.

Upon hearing this, Han Zhiling immediately composed herself and presented all the various issues she encountered in her cultivation.

She had reached the peak of the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation while at the Longevity Academy.

Then with a year at the Divine Wood Sect coupled with the Rank-3 Spiritual Vein Cultivation at the Flying Dragon Pool, she had shown signs of breakthrough yet was always unable to overcome the bottleneck.

Chen Mobai asked, “What cultivation technique are you practicing?”

To give guidance, he first needed to know this.

Han Zhiling replied that she was practicing the “Melting Fire Cultivation,” an Earth-Fire Duality Attribute technique her father had sought out for her after her Spirit Root Attributes had been tested.

Amongst loose cultivators, this technique was considered superior.

After reaching the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation she could smelt spiritual power into true fire, possessing techniques like Flames Shot, Fire Mist Dust, and Melting Fire Blade.

Han Zhiling’s victory at the Longevity Academy had hinged on the strength of this technique.

“Master, the “Melting Fire Cultivation” within our sect only contains parts up to the Early Golden Core Stage; the cultivation content beyond that is the Earth’s Core True Fire Technique from Back to Sky Valley…”

Since Chen Mobai was not well-versed with the cultivation techniques of the Eastern Wilderness, Liu Wenbo knew this and immediately conveyed the information to him through a message.

It turns out that the “Melting Fire Technique” is in fact a simplified version of the Earth’s Core True Fire Technique, which had spread from Back to Sky Valley.

If among loose cultivators, anyone could cultivate this technique beyond the seventh layer, they would typically be accepted into the valley; after all, even if one knew nothing else, if they could manage to produce True Fire, they could at least work as Fire Burning Boy.

With Back to Sky Valley’s alchemy business spanning the Eastern Wilderness and demand for their products never ceasing amongst cultivators, they were open to any suitable cultivator who came their way.

Chen Mobai had Han Zhiling recite the Melting Fire Technique; she thought the Sect Leader wanted to test her understanding of the technique, and after reciting, she pondered how to answer his follow-up questions.

However, Chen Mobai just needed to familiarize himself with the technique.

With his Golden Core Stage cultivation, even without using a Formless Puppet for simulations, he quickly identified numerous issues in Han Zhiling’s cultivation.

After pointing them out one by one, Han Zhiling appeared enlightened and, right in front of the trio, entered a state of tranquility, breaking through her cultivation bottleneck and reaching the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation.

“This child is quite insightful,” Liu Wenbo couldn’t help but commend her, while Luo Yixuan remained silently dignified, feeling that their master’s disciples were getting too numerous. Han Zhiling’s earlier wish to become a disciple had displeased her.

Two days later.

“Thank you, Sect Leader, for your guidance!” Having stabilized her cultivation realm, Han Zhiling opened her eyes and thanked Chen Mobai with a grand gesture.

“The talent is your own doing; now, channel some spiritual power to me,” Mobai routinely checked her spirit root, and though Han Zhiling was somewhat perplexed, she dutifully followed his guidance and channeled her spiritual power to him.

After waiting a moment, the Spirit-Testing Instrument did not display the Five Elements Spirit Root Value on the screen. It seemed that having been used for a long time, the device was a bit worn out.

Chen Mobai counted the years, realizing it had been thirty-five since he had bought the Spirit Instrument from Qing Nu in his senior year of high school.

How quickly time flies!

In the midst of his reflection, he took the Green Charm Spiritual Tea that Luo Yixuan handed him and leisurely drank most of it before raising his hand again.

This time, the Spirit Instrument displayed all the values of the Five Elements Spiritual Root.

In looking at the values, Chen Mobai was slightly taken aback!

[Metal 4, Wood 12, Water 5, Fire 62, Earth 20].

Setting aside the total of 103 points for the Five Elements Spiritual Root, just the 61 points in the Fire Spirit Root alone seemed rather astonishing.

Keep in mind, neither Yunyang Bing nor Ming Yuhua, who were Mobai’s contemporaries, had Fire Spirit Root values as high as Han Zhiling’s.

What did she say just a moment ago?

Something about wanting to become a disciple?
