I Have A Cultivation World - Chapter 402
Chapter 402: Chapter 300 Foundation Establishment Level 2_3
This Spirit Gathering Array works by storing the spiritual energy that would normally be released over a long period of time, and then detonating it all at once, creating the illusion of being in a vein of higher rank spirit.
Therefore, before it is activated, it needs some time to absorb spiritual energy.
Taking advantage of this time, Chen Mobai took out his Small Barrier Breaking Elixir.
He held up his phone, silently snapping a picture of the formula on the bottom of the package. If he were to sell this thing in the Tianhe Realm, he reckoned it would cause a bidding war amongst all the major factions.
But at the Dance Tool Dao Academy, this pill was only worth 30 academic credits.
Among Rank-2 elixirs, the Barrier Breaking Pill and Qi-replenishing Spirit Water were the bestsellers. As a result, the Alchemy Department of the Dance Tool Dao Academy would make them every year, ensuring there were always some Barrier Breaking Pills in the storeroom to prevent students from being unable to exchange them when needed.
It was a pity that the academy only had the materials to make Small Barrier Breaking Elixirs, not the Big Barrier Breaking Pill.
However, unlike the Liquid Gold Jade Rejuvenation Pill, it wasn’t as valuable. If the medicine factories of the four main Daoist Academies combined efforts, they could still make it.
Back when there was no Little Red Sky, the top ten colleges of the four Daoist Academies would engage in friendly exchanges and sparring sessions every three years.
If the talks were successful, there would be occasions where they would cooperate to produce elixirs.
In the past twenty years, the Big Breakthrough Pill had been successfully produced three times under these circumstances.
Chen Mobai calculated the time. The last occasion was just two years ago. Zuo Qiushi represented the home team and challenged representatives from these three major Daoist Academies. With his Rank-7 Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level, he barely maintained the reputation of Dance Tool Dao Academy.
This meant that the next event would be the following year, but it was still unclear which Daoist Academy would host.
At this thought, Chen Mobai felt invigorated.
As the chief of the Dao Academy, he must lead the team in participation. Given his current fame, he would be in the spotlight no matter which Dao Academy he went to.
He hoped it would be at the Jumang Dao Academy, where he intended to support his friend, Qing Nu.
At this moment, the Array Plate of the Spirit Gathering Array before him lit up with spiritual light, signalling that it was fully charged and ready to be activated.
Chen Mobai wasted no time, pointing a finger to activate it.
As the dense spiritual energy rushed towards him, he tore open the plastic seal of the Small Barrier Breaking Elixir and swallowed the small black pill.
The pure and concentrated spiritual energy was like a solid substance, absorbed bit by bit through Chen Mobai’s seven orifices. His eyes closed, and his whole body began to radiate a rosy glow. The Pure Yang Spiritual Power, boosted by his Fire Spirit Body, turned into waves and began to assault the bottleneck in his Dantian.
Usually, the Realm bottleneck would gradually loosen under constant impact, from being rigid to loose, until it is completely broken through.
This was Chen Mobai’s first attempt, so his bottleneck was still very rigid. Faced with the incoming Pure Yang Spiritual Power, his Dantian barely wavered and showed no signs of loosening.
However, at that moment, the potency of the Barrier Breaking Pill began to permeate the surroundings of his Dantian’s Qi Sea.
In an instant, the rigid bottleneck started to slowly dissolve, like snow under the sun or lumps of soil falling into water.
Chen Mobai seized this opportunity. Using his Divine Sense to control the Pure Yang Spiritual Power, he quickly broke through to Rank-2 Foundation Establishment.
His Dantian’s Qi Sea expanded by one third, allowing him to store more spiritual power.
After his breakthrough, he didn’t relax. His Divine Sense remained taut, repeatedly operating the Pure Yang Scroll. The Dao Academy Library contained many records of failed breakthrough experiences.
The most common mistake was not sufficiently reinforcing a new Realm after a breakthrough, resulting in the opening in the bottleneck closing again and a fall in the Realm.
By this time, the spiritual energy stored in the Spirit Gathering Array was depleted during the breakthrough process, and the pressure of the Rank-3 top-grade spiritual energy in the room even began to decline.
This was the Achilles’ heel of the Yunyang Ice Formation.
But Chen Mobai was prepared. He shattered the two intermediate-grade Spirit Stones that had been placed on the Array Plate earlier.
In an instant, the Spirit Gathering Array glowed even brighter, even more so than when it started.
Three days later.
A refreshed and stable Chen Mobai walked out of his room, shouting “checkout” very loudly to the two student workers at the front desk.
