Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Not Enough Heavenly Mandate Vitality [Thanks to the Director Who Loves Drinking Tea, Silver Tier 3]
“Why?”
Yu Xiaoyu's eyebrows raised, and her mouth puckered as tears threatened to fall, “Do you not want to part with it?”
“My daughter wants it, even if it were stars from the sky, I would be willing to part. However, you haven't had your Source Pool assessed yet, just rashly entering the silent chamber to practice concerns me. I fear that the rampant Origin qi inside could harm you…”
Yu Longqing explained.
The silent chamber he had built had come at a great cost. It contained a formation that gathered Origin qi. With his level of strength, practicing there indeed doubled the effectiveness, but his daughter, whose Source Pool was not yet fully consolidated, entering rashly might not only result in injuries; it might cause damage that could severely impact her future practice.
After hearing the explanation, Yu Xiaoyu understood and her eyes filled with disappointment, “I thought I could use it too. I was planning to practice hard tonight and then go for the assessment tomorrow, aiming to achieve good results…”
Seeing his daughter's tearful expression, Yu Longqing frowned deeply and after a moment of thought, said:
“Actually, there is a way… This Book Collection Vault was built by the 19th generation city lord of Baiyan City to protect the books from being corroded by Origin qi. A purification formation was specifically set up that can extract a small amount of Heavenly Mandate Vital Energy using a special method. However… this formation requires some precious medicinal ingredients or Primordial Beast's Essence Blood to operate… Never mind, I will prepare now. You wait deep inside the Book Collection Vault, and in a while, I will redirect the Origin qi from the silent chamber to help your practice!”
“Thank you, Daddy!”
Yu Xiaoyu immediately jumped up and kissed her father on the cheek, “I knew Daddy loved me the most!”
“You little girl…”
Shaking his head, Yu Longqing's eyes showed an indulgent smile as he turned and walked away.
He hadn't explained in detail earlier, but drawing Heavenly Mandate Vital Energy required a significant depletion of resources, and even their City Lord Residence could not sustain it for a long time.
However, as long as it could help his daughter, what did the depletion of resources matter?
He, Yu Longqing, could still afford it!
“Notify the treasury to bring over my Spiritual Origin Bamboo!” he instructed as he walked out of the Book Collection Vault.
“Spiritual Origin Bamboo? City Lord, this is the treasure you specifically sought to break through to the nine dans of the Source Pool., exceptionally precious. Just to use it like this, isn't it too wasteful…”
Steward Liao was taken aback and hastily spoke up.
“Xiaoyu is only absorbing Heavenly Mandate Vital Energy to temper her body and increase the strength of her Source Pool. She likely won't absorb much. As for such a treasure like the Spiritual Origin Bamboo, the damage won't be great… don't worry!”
Yu Longqing smiled.
To compare the Spiritual Origin Bamboo to a golden Buddha, melting it down to cast into other objects would certainly be painful, but if only scraping a layer of gold dust from it, not only would the impact be minimal, but it would also make his daughter happy. Why not do it?
That was the situation now.
Considering tomorrow's assessment, even if there were Heavenly Mandate Vital Energy, his daughter wouldn't absorb it into her Source Pool. Since it was only her body absorbing it and her meridians operating, at most three or five passes would suffice. For the Spiritual Origin Bamboo, it would at most cost a single leaf!
And this bamboo had over three hundred leaves!
Using them casually, he really wouldn't mind…
“The city lord also has a point!” Steward Liao hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
A cultivator whose Source Pool hadn't been fully consolidated couldn't absorb much anyway. Since the city lord was willing to indulge his daughter, let her indulge, it wasn't a big deal.
“Right, let Mo Yanxue practice with her as well. She has a deep relationship with Xiaoyu and they are enrolling in school at the same time. If both could make a remarkable impression, it would greatly benefit Baiyan City too!”
Yu Longqing continued.
Steward Liao nodded slightly and without saying more, turned away and left.
…
Yu Xiaoyu and Mo Yanxue arrived at the depths of the Book Collection Vault, waiting for the arrival of the Heavenly Mandate Vitality. At this time, Zhang Xuan had also reached the place he mentioned and his eyes landed on a book. Five bold characters, written in silver hook iron strokes, enormously pleasing to the eye— “Five Directions Source Seeking Art.”
With a touch of his finger, within the Library of Heaven's Path, ten books shook simultaneously, slowly merging into one.
“It actually requires ten strands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality to form, this book is truly not simple…” Stunned for a moment, Zhang Xuan was slightly surprised.
The books he duplicated before generally succeeded with just one strand of Heavenly Mandate Vitality, but now ten were needed, indicating a very high level.
This was also good, in the future when encountering cultivation methods, there would be no need to read them, just seeing the amount of Heavenly Mandate Vitality consumed would tell their value.
Of course, the order within the Library of Heaven's Path is the Heavens' Order, once used, one could easily discern the advantages of the cultivation method and its value would naturally be clear at a glance.
“I've already collected over six thousand cultivation methods, it should be possible to fuse them into the Heaven's Path Divine Art now…”
Having collected all the secret manuals around the Five Directions Source Seeking Art into the Library, Zhang Xuan then stopped.
Baiyan Academy had absorbed a total of about ten thousand strands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality, and by now, it had nearly run out; it was time to try fusing them.
With a shift in his spirit, the flaws of the many cultivation methods immediately surfaced all at once, and soon, a brand-new book slowly appeared in the center of the library, its cover's script faint and almost ready to reveal itself completely.
Buzz!
At the same time, the remaining two thousand books that had absorbed the Heavenly Mandate Vitality within the library started to visibly burn, streams of pure strength formed a warm glow, incessantly surging toward the about-to-appear book.
“I didn't realize it while in Master Teacher Continent, but to create one Heaven's Path Divine Art, the consumption is indeed huge…”
Seeing that over a thousand strands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality burned up in just a single breath and the Heaven's Path Divine Art still hadn't formed, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but be flabbergasted.
Back in Master Teacher Continent, he had collected enough books and the so-called Heaven's Path secret manual could be easily formed, but here, the consumption was so enormous… It seemed that merging the Library of Heaven's Path with the Heaven's Order of the Source World was still a long and arduous task.
But there was no rush, as long as he was in this place, sooner or later, he could replace what was done and succeed in one fell swoop!
Feeling emotional in his mind, Zhang Xuan looked again towards the book in front of him. At this moment, the library suddenly emitted a soft chime, and the surrounding light flickered out all at once.
“This…”
Zhang Xuan was startled.
He saw that the remaining two thousand strands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality had by now completely run out, and the so-called Heaven's Path Divine Art still hadn't fully revealed itself…
Which meant… the previously absorbed Heavenly Mandate Vitality was still not enough!
Over ten thousand strands, all used up in just half a day… He really was a major consumer.
Yet even so, the Heaven's Path Divine Art hadn't formed, he couldn't be unable to cultivate during tomorrow's Source Pool assessment, right!
Missing this chance, it would be difficult to find another.
But… with all the Heavenly Mandate Vitality used up, where could he find a few thousand more strands?
For a moment, Zhang Xuan was somewhat worried.
