Chapter 233: Chapter 210: Cyan Yi Wheel Array
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, six months had passed.
In Bai Yingying’s Cave Mansion, Gu Yuan sat cross-legged, the Three Dharma Celestial Human Diagram automatically operating, continuously absorbing Spiritual Qi, amplifying his Mana.
Unfortunately, in his Dantian, the Mana was vast.
The increased Spiritual Power from inhalation was completely insufficient to support his cultivation.
But fortunately, above his head, a white Dharma Pill was breathing in and out, constantly absorbing Sun and Moon Essence, transforming into surging Mana, merging into his Dantian.
"Boom!"
With each inhalation, a booming sound would resound within Gu Yuan’s body.
Thunder light flickered, seemingly shattering some sinister existence into dust.
His Mana growth was incredibly fast, surpassing ordinary people, yet he appeared majestic, like the Thunder God in meditation, without a trace of malevolence.
"Go!"
Suddenly, Gu Yuan gave a light shout.
A white Demon Pill spun up from in front of his knees, crashing directly into the Dharma Pill above his head with a bang.
"Whoosh!"
The two did not collide, but instead, like a Yin Yang ring, they spun continuously in the air.
The Dharma Pill was in front, the Demon Pill behind, like twin dragons playing with a pearl, intertwining playfully.
"Whoosh!"
But as time passed, wisps of white light continuously fell from the Demon Pill.
The strange material, like flowing light, was slowly absorbed by the Dharma Pill.
As the strange material kept falling, the Demon Pill’s size also slowly shrank, seemingly vanishing into thin air like a fleeting shadow.
Meanwhile, a silver white Ren pattern appeared on the Dharma Pill.
Amidst the dazzling fluorescence, five Ren patterns shone brightly, exuding a sense of profound mystery.
"Hualala!"
Rich Moonlight, like flowing water, cascaded downward, continuously flowing into the Dharma Pill.
"Boom!"
Inside Gu Yuan, Mana surged like a Great River, rapidly filling his Dantian.
Gu Yuan closed his eyes silently, starting to cultivate with all his might.
And so, he cultivated for a full twenty-four hours.
After twenty-four hours, Gu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a sparkling electric light.
"The Five Ren Law Pill is indeed the limit."
"But it’s enough to amplify my cultivation. At this rate, I should be able to breakthrough to the Late-stage Foundation Establishment in less than thirty years..."
"If I consume the Red Flame Snowfish, it should further shorten the time."
Gu Yuan calculated his cultivation speed, murmuring to himself.
To breakthrough to the Late-stage Foundation Establishment in thirty years is already an extremely swift pace in cultivation.
The Nine-Aperture Body is a speed that ordinary Dao Bodies cannot compare to.
One must know, Foundation Establishment cultivators have a lifespan of four hundred and fifty years, and each realm is a difficult chasm to cross.
Breaking through each realm requires a tremendous amount of Mana.
To achieve Late-stage Foundation Establishment within forty years is to be called a Celestial Pride.
In the Daoist School, most Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators are already old.
"The True Inheritance competition should still have some time, hopefully in time..."
Gu Yuan thought to himself.
Then he stood up, opened the door of the Cave Mansion, and flew towards the southern part of the island.
...
...
In the Southern Realm region of Heart-breaking Island, the scene had already changed.
There was originally a small Spiritual Pond here, with an area of just about ten zhang.
The pond water was clear and sweet, but the Spiritual Power was insufficient, with only a Tier One Lotus, the Cloud Smoke Lotus, growing there, adding a touch of pink.
But now, the entire pond had completely transformed.
Strands of Spiritual Light, in the form of cloud smoke, floated above the pond, the rich Spiritual Qi seemingly incomparable even to Gu Yuan’s Cave Mansion.
Moreover, above the pond, about ten zhang high, there floated a cyan auspicious cloud, occasionally dripping some strange azure liquid into the pond.
This cyan liquid, containing a strong life-force, was unknown in origin.
Just a few occasional drops would make the entire pond glow with cyan light, brimming with Spiritual Light.
"Whoosh!"
At the front of the pond, Songg Shan and Ma Wu were holding Command Banners, continuously applying Mana, inserting a total of eighteen Command Banners around the pond.
"Buzz buzz!"
A transparent light screen rose from above the pond, enveloping the surrounding area.
This light screen could gather Spiritual Qi and stabilize the four seasons.
The Spiritual Qi in the pond only entered and did not escape, keeping the temperature just right, warm as spring.
"After nurturing for half a year, this Lotus Pond is finally cultivated, truly not easy..."
Songg Shan looked at the lush, emerald-like pond in front of him, and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.
He is a Spirit Plant Master, most skilled in cultivating Spirit Fields and nurturing Spirit Lakes.
After receiving Gu Yuan’s request, he had spent half a year almost without sleep, expending countless efforts, and finally succeeded in cultivating this Spiritual Pond.
"Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brothers!"
At this moment, Gu Yuan arrived swiftly with Escape Light, landing beside the two, expressing his gratitude.
"I haven’t done much, just assisting Senior Brother Songg..."
Ma Wu waved his hand repeatedly, humbly replying.
"Serving Brother is a joy."
Songg Shan said with a smile.
His aptitude wasn’t high, only barely breaking through to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer at the age of sixty, not good at Magical Combat, only adept in the Spirit Plant Technique, blending in anonymity at the Daoist School.
If it weren’t for Gu Yuan, his chances of Foundation Establishment in this life were extremely slim.
For over ten years, he followed Gu Yuan, gaining merits from the conquest of the Red Moon River, obtaining a Tier Two Spirit Island for cultivation, enjoying a relaxed and pleasant life.
He was already planning to marry a beautiful wife and start a family.
With a Tier Two Spirit Island as a foundation, the Songg Family could become a small family in a hundred years.
But he was a simple man, feeling guilty for receiving such benefits without contributing. He only opened several hundred acres of Spirit Field for Heart-breaking Island.
In the past half year, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to this task, feeling truly satisfied at heart.
"The deeds you have done, Junior Brother, I remember well!"
Gu Yuan chuckled lightly.
He had six Foundation Establishment cultivators under his command, and they were bound to contribute their efforts.
"Senior Brother Gu, this Lotus Pond is now finally nurtured and can house the Cyan Lotus Dao Seed, but it will take a hundred years to fully cultivate it!"
Songg Shan did not speak much, just pointed at the lush pond in front of him and said to Gu Yuan.
"A hundred years? I remember there’s a fast method, right?"
Gu Yuan frowned slightly, asking softly.
The Cyan Lotus Dao Seed has extremely high environmental requirements, only growing in top-tier Tier Two Spiritual Ponds, and it must be spring all year round with endless vitality in the pond.
But Bian Chuyao once gifted him a Secret Manual, describing how to cultivate Dao Seeds postnatally, including a fast-track method.
As Gu Yuan was not a Spirit Plant Master by birth, he did not study it closely, instead handing the Secret Manual to Songg Shan.
"Indeed, in the Secret Manual that Senior Brother has, there is a fast method called ’Cyan Yi Wheel Array.’
This array can accelerate the genesis of Cyan Yi Wood Spirit Qi. Since the Cyan Lotus Dao Seed is the unique Dao-One Lotus Seed, it doesn’t reject nutrients, and as long as there is Cyan Yi Wood Spirit Qi, it can grow rapidly. As long as the Cyan Yi Wood Spirit Qi is sufficient, it can significantly shorten the cultivation time."
"However, this array is extravagant, and with the current output of the island, it might not be sustainable..."
Songg Shan said with some concern.
"What is lacking?"
"Once the array is set, it requires thirty thousand Spirit Stones annually, and it cannot be stopped. Over two or three decades, it’s not a small sum..."
Songg Shan smiled wryly.
"Spirit Stones..."
Gu Yuan pondered slightly.
"We are willing to give up our share of the Red Flame Snowfish to support Senior Brother’s nurturing of this lotus!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Wu immediately said.
"No good!"
Gu Yuan shook his head.
For Foundation Establishment Cultivators who aren’t Tribulation Cultivators, their daily cultivation resources can only depend on the Spirit Island’s output or adventuring and performances outside.
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator selling a single Spiritual Artifact requires tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.
Daily cultivation, pills, and the spiritual materials for Dharma Seals are calculated in thousands.
Most of the output of the Red Moon River’s Spirit Islands is underwater, and without the harvest of the Red Flame Snowfish, Ma Wu and others would have almost no income.
One or two years are fine, but a few decades like this is too exploitative.
"No need to worry about the Spirit Stones, just set up the array!"
"I still have over ten thousand Spirit Stones, you may use them first..."
