Chapter 908: The Second Layer of the Divine Firmament True Law - The Golden Thunder Robe
Lu Chen had long suspected that harvesting the Fifth-grade Primal Spirit Herb would likely result in a substantial cultivation reward. Yet, when the sphere of light revealed a reward of fifty years' worth of cultivation, he was still taken aback by the magnitude of the bonus.
It was simply too much.
For an ordinary Third-grade Ice Glow Grass, there was a chance to gain a three-year cultivation reward, and a grass of good quality could yield five.
A single Fifth-grade Primal Spirit Herb was equivalent to over a dozen Ice Glow Grass, and this brought Lu Chen immense joy.
"In just a day, my cultivation has increased by nearly a hundred years."
"This is what a cultivation genius must feel like!"
Lu Chen's heart swelled with pride and satisfaction.
In less than a moment, he had successfully converted a large amount of spiritual energy and merged it into his dantian's qi sea.
"I'm one step closer to perfecting my Golden Core pill."
A hundred years of cultivation sounded impressive, but given his current talent, cultivating for a hundred years would still pale in comparison to those who were truly gifted in the art.
Nonetheless, he was content with his progress.
Without the appearance of the sphere of light, his cultivation talent would likely have kept him from breaking through the Qi Refining Realm in his lifetime. Being able to remain in the Qi Refining Realm for his entire life was already quite an achievement.
After refining the Liuliu Chihfeng Gu and consuming a significant number of spirit-enhancing spirit fruits, his roots and bones had shown some improvement.
However, his innate limitations could only take him so far, elevating his mediocre talent to that of an ordinary genius.
But in the cultivation world, geniuses were a dime a dozen.
Those who gained entry into the major sects were invariably once-in-a-century or even once-in-a-millennium prodigies.
Yet, even among this gathering of exceptional talents, only a select few would break through to the Jindan stage.
Becoming a Jindan Immortal was merely the beginning, as each minor realm beyond presented a formidable challenge.
Even the most gifted disciples of the major sects could not guarantee that they would smoothly advance from the late Jindan stage to the perfection of Jindan within a century.
Only those blessed with great opportunities and endowed with exceptional fate could hope to break through, catching a glimpse of the possibility of attaining the Yuan Ying stage.
And here Lu Chen was, not yet a hundred years old, having already reached the late Jindan stage, and his path ahead, even before attaining Yuan Ying, seemed smooth and unobstructed.
Such speed of cultivation was comparable to those with innate spiritual bodies or even the reincarnated beings of great power.
"I need not worry too much about cultivation issues before reaching the Yuan Ying stage."
"However, once I truly become a Yuan Ying True Lord, the cultivation rewards offered by the Primal Spirit Herb will likely diminish significantly."
Lu Chen mused silently.
It was precisely because of his experience with the Ice Glow Grass that he had such high expectations for the rewards that the mature Primal Spirit Herb would offer.
When the grade of the spirit plant one cultivated far exceeded one's own cultivation level, the cultivation rewards received would be significantly reduced.
He recalled that when he was at the Qi Refining Realm, an ordinary Third-grade Ice Glow Grass could yield a ten-year cultivation reward, but after breaking through to the Jindan Realm, it dropped to just three years.
Additionally, there was a high possibility that the spheres of light could contain other treasures as well.
With this thought, Lu Chen's initial excitement gave way to a calmer demeanor.
"I'll worry about what comes after Yuan Ying later. For now, the most pressing matter is to plant as many Primal Spirit Herbs as possible."
"As long as I gather enough spheres of light, breaking through to the Yuan Ying stage is just a matter of time."
He gazed at the solitary Primal Spirit Herb in his spirit field, suppressing the urge to pluck and harvest it.
"Using a single Primal Spirit Herb for condensation is a bit slow."
"I wonder if I can enlist the help of the Chamber of Commerce to gather as many Primal Spirit Herb spirit seeds as possible."
He had already mastered the art of condensing the Primal Spirit Herb and had, on two occasions, requested the Chamber of Commerce to procure spirit seeds for him.
According to Zhang Jiuzong, the Primal Spirit Herb could only be produced in small quantities in a distant foreign cave, making it extremely rare.
"That's right. A high-level spirit plant that directly enhances one's spiritual power and cultivation is indeed a priceless treasure among cultivators."
Lu Chen marveled inwardly.
"As vast as the Chamber of Commerce is, their influence in foreign lands may not be as dominant as it is within the Liuyang territory. It's unreasonable to expect them to expend too much effort to satisfy my demands."
As his cultivation grew stronger and he acquired more and more rare treasures, Lu Chen's confidence also increased.
He calmed his thoughts and entered a quiet room, taking out the Spirit Herb that was overflowing with primal energy.
"Let's try consuming it directly to see the effects."
He evenly cut the Spirit Herb into multiple pieces and swallowed one of the smaller sections.
As soon as the Spirit Herb entered his belly, it transformed into a dense surge of primal energy, rampaging through his body.
Lu Chen circulated the Xuan Tian Qing Wei Mystical Art, swiftly absorbing and transforming the primal energy into drops of pale green spiritual liquid, which fell into his dantian's qi sea.
He repeated the process, consuming the remaining portions of the Spirit Herb.
"The increase in spiritual power is roughly equivalent to ten years of bitter cultivation, which is pretty good."
He estimated the amount of spiritual power that had appeared in his body, making a slight comparison before muttering to himself.
A single Spirit Herb was equivalent to ten years of arduous cultivation, and in the eyes of other Golden Core cultivators, it could be considered a rare treasure.
Of course, compared to the cultivation reward he had received from the sphere of light, it was insignificant.
"I wonder what the effects would be if I refine it into a pill that enhances spiritual power..."
He pondered silently, but without the corresponding pill formula, he couldn't attempt it.
After harvesting the Primal Spirit Herb, Lu Chen spent the next period of time diligently researching the art of condensing the herb.
The condensation technique for a fifth-grade spirit plant was extremely complex and profound, making it challenging to condense, especially since he only had one herb to work with. Naturally, he had to be cautious.
At the same time, he also sent a message to his Wood Daoist friend in the Sea Pavilion Chamber of Commerce, asking them to help gather more Primal Spirit Herb seeds.
After completing these tasks, he devoted his entire being to cultivating his spirit plants.
One day, as he was inspecting his spirit fields, Lu Chen suddenly sensed a slight disturbance in his core spirit field.
He transformed into a streak of silver light and instantly entered the core spirit field.
In the Thunder Pond, thunderous qi surged as two vines of Yin Wood Green Thunder Vine occupied opposite sides. One of them had been cultivated by Lu Chen from a spirit seed, while the other had been transplanted from the Ancient Herb Garden.
Below the smaller vine of lush green tendrils, a white sphere of light quietly appeared.
"Has the Yin Wood Green Thunder Vine reached a new stage of growth?"
Lu Chen's heart leaped with joy.
This seventh-grade spirit plant was of the 'years' variety. Every time it reached a certain stage of growth, it would produce a sphere of light. Decades ago, he had obtained the Divine Firmament True Law's first layer from it.
After so many years, it was time to reap another harvest.
He held his breath and gently touched the surface of the sphere of light.
Countless fine specks of light poured into his body.
A thought flashed through his mind.
[Divine Firmament True Law, a supreme technique, is the fundamental cultivation method of the Godsoar Sect. The complete technique can be cultivated up to the Spirit Transformation Realm.]
[The second layer can be cultivated up to the perfection of the Golden Core, and one can also gain the divine ability, Golden Thunder Robe.]
[Golden Thunder Robe: By relying on one's profound thunder-controlling techniques, a layer of thunder-spiritual robe can be condensed on the body, capable of concealing a cultivator's aura, defending against soul attacks, and possessing a natural suppressing effect against demons and evil creatures. The stronger one's cultivation, the more powerful the robe's effects.]
