Once home, Chen Mobai unpacked the Spirit-Testing Instruments, activating it with his spiritual power. After making sure it was in good working order, he tucked it into his small backpack.

However, he did not immediately head to the Water Mansion today.

Instead, he pulled out his mobile phone to order some clothing.

Since Chen Mobai intended to interact with the cultivators of the Tianhe Realm, the first step was naturally to blend in with them; his attire shouldn’t stand out excessively.

Although his school uniform was quite modest, it was starkly different from the clothing styles of the elder and the teenager who’d died at the Water Mansion. Using his memory of their clothing as a reference, Chen Mobai selected a set of grey ancient-style clothing online.

After ordering the ancient-style attire, he didn’t forget to order shoes too.

Next, he glanced at himself in the mirror and found another inconsistency.

His short, neat buzz-cut didn’t go well with the ancient costume. Thus, he ended up ordering two sets of long wigs, and bought some hair accessories to go with it. Finally, he had all the attire required.

However, it would still take at least two days for the items to be delivered home.

Today, Chen Mobai could only meditate and practice Qi cultivation within the Water Mansion; he couldn’t go out.

With a flicker of silver light, he once again entered the Tianhe Realm.

Sensing the Water Pulse Spirit Qi around him, several times denser than at his house, he involuntarily took a deep breath and seated himself on the rush cushion.

Pulling out his phone, he began to scroll through the Pure Yang Scroll of Qi Cultivation.

The document began with a page titled “Notice for Readers”.

Although all the cultivation techniques at the National Library could be exchanged for by using points, they could only be practiced personally and couldn’t be shared with others. If one agreed with this concept, they could check a box, and continue reading.

Chen Mobai naturally agreed. This was essentially a slight oath in cultivating Dao.

If a cultivator broke the rule and shared the downloaded cultivation techniques with others, they would violate their own intent.

The more dissemination, the more obstacles one would face in their Daoist path in the future.

This might not seem significant at lower levels, but once one reached critical hurdles such as Core Formation or Nascent Soul, it could easily induce Heart Demons, leading to total destruction of one’s cultivation progress.

For this reason, the Daoist techniques and knowledge were easy to attain in the world of cultivation, but cultivators would usually use their own points or Good Deed Points to redeem them.

Chen Mobai first read through the Pure Yang Scroll from beginning to end, and compared it with his Five Elements Cultivation. He found that it was indeed more profound; he couldn’t comprehend all of it at once.

Of course, it could also be because he had rewatched Qing Ping’s lectures several times recently, hence he had a deep understanding of the Five Elements Cultivation. He still needed to attend classes diligently.

He opened the software for “Auxiliary Cultivation,” selected the section by the Lesser Yang True Man, and began to systematically learn about Pure Yang Qi Cultivation by following his annotations.

Like Blackwater Cultivation, Pure Yang Qi Cultivation also came with three accompanying spells and a Tri-Yang Physique for transforming Spirit Root.

The spells were Ignition Technique, Flame Manipulation Technique, and Fireball Technique.

Naturally the first to be introduced was the Tri-Yang Physique. This was the foundation of all foundations and extremely crucial.

After listening to an explanation once, Chen Mobai had an epic realization.

The true teaching could be summed up in one sentence, while false teachings took volumes of books. The parts he didn’t understand from reading the book became clear upon hearing the meticulous explanation from the Lesser Yang True Man.

The Tri-Yang Physique transformation first required the conversion of the Water Spirit Root into a Wood Spirit Root, before changing the Wood Spirit Root into a Fire Spirit Root. The minute differences between the two processes, had they not been explained by the Lesser Yang True Man, would have taken Chen Mobai a long time to work out, and even then, he wouldn’t have achieved optimal conversion efficiency.

It was for this reason that when Old Ding transformed his Spirit Root using the One Yang Physique, he ended up with a Fire Spirit Root attribute of only 6. This minor discrepancy of 3 points from the maximum of 9 may have been the reason for his failure in Foundation Establishment.

So after listening, Chen Mobai found two more Gold Core True Men who had practiced the Pure Yang Scroll to cross-check his understanding. This gave him a lot of new insights.

“If I can break through to the latter stage of Qi cultivation, I might be able to cultivate the Pure Yang Scroll,” mumbled Chen Mobai. Among the 84,000 Daoist scriptures, although Pure Yang Scroll wasn’t the best for dueling and its cultivation speed was just average, it was the Broad Avenue with plentiful prior experiences to consult. It was the most suitable for someone like him with high privileges.

With this thought, he became even more determined to leave the Water Mansion.

He must earn enough Spirit Stones in the Tianhe Realm.

“But, the main task at hand is to advance to Rank-7 of Qi Cultivation,” said Chen Mobai.

Perhaps it was because he had used Spirit Stones for the breakthrough, after Chen Mobai advanced to Rank-6 of Qi Cultivation, he didn’t feel as if his spiritual power was floating like when he had taken the Purple Fire Pill before.

Always being a cautious man, he still exercised the Qi Nourishing Technique for two days. Not until he felt the spiritual power in his meridians complying to his commands like his fingers, did he finally make up his mind to consume Qi-Replenishing Spirit Water.

Opening the pocket compartment of his backpack, he took out two glass tubes about the length and thickness of his index finger.

The openings of the tubes were sealed with wooden stoppers, and inside was a colourless liquid – the Qi-Replenishing Spirit Water.

Chen Mobai uncorked the stopper and downed the liquid at once.

It tasted like plain water yet held a hint of bitter medicinal flavour, which made it difficult for him to accept.

After finishing it, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.

The Five Elements Cultivation began to operate, immediately causing a certain hunger for spiritual power to spread throughout his meridians and aperatures. The dense spiritual power within the Water Mansion, akin to strands of thin smoke, coursed into various parts of Chen Mobai’s body.

Chen Mobai felt that his cultivation efficiency improved about ten-fold. The Water Pulse Spirit Qi gathered around him, forming a faint mist that shrouded him, from which a five-colored and gentle radiance seeped through his skin. This was a sign of the masterful practice of the Five Elements Cultivation.

Even the usual cultivators in the late stage of Qi cultivation didn’t have this kind of manifestation when running Five Elements Cultivation.

Good thing this was an intermediate-grade Rank-2 Spiritual Vein Treasure Land, rich in spiritual power.

Had this been at home, at least half of the medicinal effect of the

Qi-Replenishing Spirit Water would go to waste.

After completing six Grand Circulations, the spiritual mist around Chen Mobai slowly dispersed and his Refining Spirit Qi efficiency returned to normal.

This indicated that the effects of the Qi-Replenishing Spirit Water had completely worn off.

He ran another two cycles, but could not bear the crawling pace of cultivation compared to before, and stopped. He opened his eyes.

“It’s just a pity that this thing requires snap purchases. Even though I converted my Spirit Stones into Good Deed Points, I’m still uncertain if I’ll have the luck to purchase it,” he thought.

Chen Mobai still had a vial of Qi-Replenishing Spirit Water which he planned to put back into his backpack, as one could only consume one vial a day.

Just as his hand touched the glass tube containing the Spirit Water, his eyes suddenly widened.

This glass tube wasn’t it exactly the same as the one the nurse in white at the pharmacy was using to fill up the large iron kettle?

No wonder that scene seemed familiar; it was because he was familiar with this glass tube.

Could the water she was packing not be “Returning Primordial Spirit Water,” but “Qi-Replenishing Spirit Water”?

Weren’t these items directly sold through the Jumang Daoist Academy, how could her small pharmacy manage to refine it too?
