Mortal Alchemy

The processes of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core involve a cultivator absorbing spiritual energy and making it their own, but to reach the Nascent Soul stage...

It requires connecting oneself with the heavens and earth, with the divine soul as the primary focus and spiritual power as secondary.

If the divine soul does not transform, there will be a limit to the control of spiritual power.

This can be compared through the sword intent.

It can also be compared through the spiritual body sword manifestation.

"Cultivating to the later stages, is it not about the divine soul absorbing spiritual energy?"

Now that Chen Ping's Pill Pattern Auspicious Phoenix Art is initially complete, he has come to understand many things.

A person's spiritual roots have various attributes, but a person's divine soul has no attributes.

If the divine soul is to manifest in the world, it must be given a certain attribute to be accepted by the heavens and earth. Only then will the cultivator's own power reach a higher level.

And the 'Law' of a Golden Core cultivator is to give the divine soul a certain attribute.

Conversely, if a cultivator's spiritual roots are mixed and the absorption of spiritual energy is slow, it may be easier to comprehend the Law with the divine soul.

"I understand. This is why I was able to learn techniques faster during the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages."

Techniques are a prerequisite for the 'Law'.

The more spiritual roots one has, the easier it is to comprehend the Law, because the heavens and earth accept more attributes of your divine soul. Your choices and your perception of the heavens and earth are more sensitive.

On the contrary, the fewer spiritual roots you have, the less sensitive you are to the heavens and earth.

"Yin and Yang coexist, there is you in me, and me in you. Yin and Yang are distinct, and neither side ever outweighs the other."

Thus, it also answers a doubt in Chen Ping's heart.

Beyond spiritual roots are spiritual bodies, and beyond spiritual bodies are Dao spiritual roots. Ordinary spiritual roots, whether single or dual, do not possess the aptitude for 'Law'.

However, spiritual bodies often contain the aptitude for a certain 'Law', making them more sensitive to the heavens and earth.

As for Dao spiritual roots, they are the more concrete embodiment of the 'Law'.

Chen Ping also understands the difference between good and bad aptitudes.

"Then how should my sword path advance to increase my offensive power...?"

The third stage of sword intent is Sword Steel Condensing Fiend, and the fourth stage is Sword Fiend Condensing Soul.

'Soul' also has the meaning of divine soul. Everyone's divine soul 'Law' is different, so there are no experiences or insights for the fourth stage in Superior Lord Gong Yue's inheritance.

Unless Chen Ping also has a sword spiritual root, he can completely follow the same path as Superior Lord Gong Yue.

How strong is the power of the divine soul? Chen Ping's divine sense extends over two thousand feet. Once his mind moves, he can reach two thousand feet in an instant.

No matter how fast Sword Steel Condensing Fiend is, it cannot reach a distance of two thousand feet in an instant.

Sword Steel Condensing Fiend already requires using a little bit of the power of the divine soul, and this fourth stage of Sword Fiend Condensing Soul requires perfecting it.

If Chen Ping can step into the realm of Sword Fiend Condensing Soul, he can instantly unleash a sword two thousand feet away. How terrifying would this combat power be?

But Chen Ping still doesn't know how to cultivate it, and this is just the speed of the Sword Fiend Condensing Soul sword energy, and he doesn't know the power and its attributes.

Then there is a problem in improving the power of the sword path.

There are no cultivation records of the Sword Lotus Spiritual Body in the Eastern Region's cultivation world. Chen Ping must combine his own Sword Lotus Spiritual Body to create a fourth-order cultivation technique. He must first be able to use the power of the spiritual body to illuminate Chen Ping's path forward, so that he has the opportunity to step into the fourth stage of the sword path.

Lack of resources.

"I need to find a way to get some third-order Enlightenment Pills."

"I also wonder if the Heavenly Venerate Sect's wool can help me..."

Having just entered the Golden Core stage, Chen Ping feels that his future is full of difficulties.

Daily cultivation resources have not been settled, sword path techniques, sword path resources, and fourth-order spiritual herbs...

Thus, it is not surprising that many Golden Core cultivators rely on their sects. The predecessors plant the trees, and the successors enjoy the shade. Relying on the sect allows them to enjoy resources.

Even if Superior Lord Gong Yue was a Nascent Soul Superior Lord, to advance to Divinity Transformation, he could only rely on the Immortal Sect of the Central Region. The resources of the Eastern Region's cultivation world are scarce.

Thus, it seems that the strength of the four major sects in the Eastern Region's cultivation world is not extremely strong, otherwise, after coming to this world for thousands of years, they would not have finished conquering an Eastern Wasteland.

"Divinity Transformation, is a legend, laughing at the world for two thousand years, can be called the uncrowned king of the Eastern Region's cultivation world, the master of a world."

Chen Ping took a deep breath: "To advance to Nascent Soul, I still have to rely on myself. The Vast Jade Sea is my opportunity."

Chen Ping got up and walked out of the palace.

Zhou Ying walked forward and gave a graceful salute, her smile charming and moving: "Brother Ping is out of seclusion?"

Mu Luofei is in full retreat, how could Chen Ping not have someone to serve and take care of him?

Zhou Ying and Meng Huang'er take turns serving Chen Ping.

The auction is being organized smoothly, and Zhou Ying does not need to refine talismans all the time to earn money.

Meng Huang'er, however, has to refine pills as a bargaining chip for the auction.

In the Daoist temple, besides the Brocade-haired Treasure-seeking Sable, there are only Chen Ping and Zhou Ying.

The two of them are together, and there are no outsiders present, so Chen Ping doesn't need to worry about anything.

"Ah."

Chen Ping suddenly put his arms around Zhou Ying's plump, alluring, and fragrant body, causing Zhou Ying to exclaim softly.

With warm and soft jade in his arms, Chen Ping's big hands were restless, moving up and down. He hugged her and sat down: "Ying'er, how is the auction being organized?"

Zhou Ying's jade face flushed, her beautiful eyes were a little dazed, her jade arms clung to Chen Ping's neck, and she replied truthfully:

"It is expected to be officially held in five years. Now that Brother Ping has advanced to the Golden Core stage, Floating Light Square City no longer needs Myriad Treasures Pavilion. The news that a third-order alchemist is stationed in Floating Light Square City has spread, and the reactions of various families are very excited."

None of the four major sects in the entire Eastern Region's cultivation world have a wild third-order alchemist outside.

At least not on the surface.

"Currently, two Grandmasters of Array Dao are setting up formations in the Square City, and the Square City is also undergoing large-scale transformation."

This expenditure, the amount invested, is an astronomical figure for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Two third-order Array Dao Grandmasters are transforming Floating Light Square City, incorporating East Moon Mountain into it, to create a basic template for an immortal city, which will cost 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to 10 million low-grade spirit stones.

The third-order spiritual vein branch occupied by Chen Ping and others will also be incorporated into the formation, so as to completely cover up several secrets.

"Five years..."

Chen Ping nodded slightly: "I will go to the Vast Jade Sea in a few days, and I will bring back a batch of third-order pills at that time."

This time will be just right to hold an auction to spread the reputation of Floating Light Immortal City and attract many third-order immortal clans to settle here.

As for the Vast Jade Sea, you have to fly straight for five thousand miles to find Shattered Star Square City, so you don't have to worry about anyone going there.

Even if you fly 20,000 miles in the Vast Jade Sea, you won't discover the true secrets of the Vast Jade Sea.

Even a Nascent Soul Superior Lord would not look at the Vast Jade Sea.

Chen Ping smiled and asked Zhou Ying: "Ying'er, how is the cultivation of the Dharma Body Technique going?"

Zhou Ying exhaled like orchids: "This concubine is practicing earnestly and will definitely not disappoint Brother Ping's intentions."

Chen Ping laughed and picked her up horizontally, walking into the room:

"Let this husband see Ying'er's cultivation results."

Zhou Ying blushed, hugged Chen Ping tightly, and let him do as he pleased.
