Chapter 752: The Spirit Infant Sage Transformation Art
"Holy Infant Fruit, a fifth-grade spirit fruit of superior quality, is cultivated in an environment of yin energy and soil. It is nourished with the essence, spirit, and resentment of infant children. Consuming it enhances one's spiritual sense and is also a primary ingredient in refining the Holy Infant Pill."
"During the maturation phase, the mother plant devours two spirit fruits from its offspring and is ripened with an abundant amount of pure plant spirit qi, thus elevating the quality of the spirit fruit to a higher grade. With the aid of secret techniques, it can be refined into an external incarnation."
"As expected," Lu Chen murmured, gently nodding as his gaze fell upon the white ball of light that had appeared.
"I already have the main ingredient for the incarnation. Now, for the refining secret technique..."
"Light sphere, aid me!"
Filled with anticipation, he gently touched the surface of the light sphere with the utmost gentleness.
In an instant, the light sphere silently shattered, transforming into countless minuscule specks of light that filled the sky.
The specks of light swiftly condensed into a shadowy ancient diagram, instantly merging into Lu Chen's body.
Simultaneously, a thought flashed through his sea of consciousness.
"Obtained a fifth-grade Holy Infant Fruit and a seventh-grade secret technique, the Spirit Infant Sage Transformation Art (incomplete)
."
As the thought vanished, a page of an ancient grayish-black diagram appeared before Lu Chen.
The diagram emanated a dusky glow, depicting countless hideous infant children, each expressing a range of emotions—some laughing, some in pain, their faces contorted.
What should have been adorable expressions now appeared sinister and eerie, exuding a chilling aura of resentment.
Lu Chen's consciousness focused on the ancient diagram before him, instantly grasping its detailed information.
"The Spirit Infant Sage Transformation Art, a flawed seventh-grade secret technique originating from the ancient heretical sect, the Ten Thousand Infant Sect. It records a secret method for refining an external incarnation.
This secret technique allows one to refine a rudimentary external incarnation with the aid of certain external objects. The incarnation's strength, aptitude, and spiritual intellect are determined by the external object and the cultivator."
"A seventh-grade secret technique, albeit incomplete, but it contains the incarnation refining method I require."
"As expected of the light sphere!" Lu Chen exclaimed in delight. He had never imagined that a fifth-grade Holy Infant Fruit would yield such a flawed seventh-grade secret technique.
However, there were hints that the secret technique could refine incarnations, as the superior-grade Holy Infant Fruit was known to possess such effects. Thus, it was reasonable for a corresponding secret technique to emerge from the light sphere.
"It's like being given a pillow when I'm feeling sleepy." Lu Chen was extremely pleased with this treasure, and he immersed his spiritual sense within it.
The countless infant children depicted on the ancient diagram stirred slightly, and a strand of pure yin energy seeped out from the diagram, infiltrating his sea of consciousness, along with a vast amount of information.
Methods for separating a strand of one's soul from the main body, techniques for merging the soul with external objects, and various incarnation refining methods for different treasures...
Lu Chen absorbed the information for a long time before opening his eyes and exhaling deeply.
"As expected of a secret technique originating from an ancient heretical sect, it enables cultivators to refine an external incarnation even at the Foundation Establishment realm."
According to the secret technique recorded on the ancient diagram, he could refine this superior-grade Holy Infant Fruit into a rudimentary external incarnation.
The incarnation would possess a certain degree of autonomous consciousness and be intimately linked to the main body, but it would be under the absolute control of the main body. Additionally, depending on the grade and type of the treasure used, the incarnation would exhibit different strengths and talents.
"Should the incarnation perish, the soul of the main body will suffer some injury."
"Typically, only at the Nascent Soul realm does one possess the ability and techniques to refine an incarnation. It is only upon reaching the Baby Changing realm that one can more easily differentiate a true external incarnation."
"Such incarnations possess complete independent consciousness, capable of autonomously exploring secret realms, engaging in battles, and cultivating. However, if the main body is damaged, experiences a decline in cultivation, or if the incarnation obtains an immense opportunity, surpassing the main body in strength, there is a risk of the incarnation turning on its creator."
"On the other hand, the castrated incarnation created by the Spirit Infant Sage Transformation Art lacks the true might of an external incarnation. Its strength depends on the treasure used and possesses only a certain degree of autonomous consciousness. There is no need to worry about it usurping its creator.
Following the instructions on soul division, he separated a strand of his spiritual soul and infused it into the superior-grade Holy Infant Fruit before him.
Vaguely, he could sense a faint connection between them.
"Now, I need to properly cultivate it into an incarnation," Lu Chen thought.
For the next two months, he devoted all his mental energy to this task, nurturing his spiritual herbs and tending to the Holy Infant Fruit daily with his spiritual soul and consciousness.
"Finally, it's a success," Lu Chen sighed in relief as he looked at the transformed spirit fruit before him.
Compared to its vague shape when he had first plucked it, the Holy Infant Fruit had completely transformed into a delicate miniature human form, bearing a striking resemblance to Lu Chen, except for a faintly eerie and cold aura that made it seem somewhat sinister.
Following the instructions in the secret technique, Lu Chen linked his consciousness with the spirit fruit incarnation. With a mere thought, the incarnation began to expand, growing to his height in just a few breaths, its appearance almost indistinguishable from his own.
"Greetings, fellow cultivator," Lu Chen said softly.
"Greetings, fellow cultivator," the spirit fruit incarnation replied, its once dull eyes now shining with life as it returned the greeting with a polite bow.
"So, this is a physical incarnation?" Lu Chen mused, feeling a mix of strangeness and wonder as he looked at his doppelganger.
With just a thought, the incarnation responded to his every whim, its movements entirely controlled by his thoughts.
As he continued to command and guide it, the spirit fruit incarnation became increasingly agile and lively, even venturing into the spirit fields on its own to survey the area.
The baby Thunder Dragon Beast cub, as if sensing something amiss, approached cautiously and circled the incarnation, its eyes filled with confusion as it sniffed at the figure that resembled its master.
"Its autonomous consciousness isn't very high, but it can be slowly trained. It's a high-level puppet with a fairly high spiritual intellect," Lu Chen observed quietly.
Through experimentation, he discovered that the closer the incarnation was to him, the more effortlessly he could control it. However, when it was dozens or even hundreds of miles away, his control diminished significantly.
The incarnation possessed a physical body indistinguishable from that of a regular person, with spiritual power comparable to the early stages of the Core Formation realm, but its spiritual sense was relatively weak.
Perhaps due to being refined from the Holy Infant Fruit, the incarnation had a rich and pure yin energy within its body and could also absorb the yin-attributed spiritual energy from the Underworld Spirit Fields.
"It has quite an impressive natural talent for the evil path; it's a born cultivator of the sinister arts," Lu Chen remarked with a smile as he watched the spirit fruit incarnation approach him.
"Perfect. I can give this incarnation the cultivation techniques and abilities rewarded by those eerie spirit herbs," he thought.
He currently possessed three superior-grade evil cultivation techniques: the Blood Spirit Scripture, the Eternal Darkness True Water Prohibition, and the Soul Binding Sutra, as well as sinister treasures like the Yin Sha Bottle, the Tai Yin Wood Casket, and the Multi-Armed Corpse Servant. These could be given to the incarnation to enhance its strength.
After all, he was just an ordinary spiritual herbologist with poor combat abilities, and he intended to maintain his friendly and peaceful persona.
"There's one more important thing I need to test," Lu Chen thought. "Can the spirit herbs cultivated by this incarnation produce light spheres, and if so, will it affect the grade of the rewards?"
