Chapter 672: Chapter 413: Red Cherry Blossoms Hold White Snow, Singing of the Yang Pass in the Sound of a Broken Heart (8k)_3
Zhuo Ming hesitated for a moment, then shared his recent cultivation confusion.
“Oh, hand it to me.”
Chen Mobai was somewhat perplexed by this situation, as he had never practised Mother Earth Cultivation before.
But he had great confidence in Zhuo Ming.
Thanks to his instruction, his second disciple began training in Mother Earth Cultivation and except for spiritual wine, had never taken any pills to enhance his cultivation level.
His foundation was the most solid among the three disciples.
After performing a full-body scan with his divine sense, Chen Mobai did not find any problems.
Zhuo Ming’s spiritual power inside his Dantian Qi Sea was intense, and under his guidance, it was roughly formed into a vortex shape.
On top of that, because of his frequent consumption of Spirit Rice, his vital energy was significantly broader and robust than other Cultivators in the Divine Wood Sect. Judging by the fluctuation of his spiritual power, he could probably break through to the 9th level of Qi Cultivation in two to three years.
“Recall the images that appear in your mind when you meditate.”
Zhuo Ming nodded, took out pen and paper, and depicted the mountains and valleys that constantly surfaced in his Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion while practicing the Mother Earth Cultivation.
After Chen Mobai finished reading, he pondered and then suddenly realized something, a faint smile appeared on his face.
“Ming, you are achieving unity of knowledge and action. During the process of developing your spirit fields, you have grasped the essence of Mother Earth Cultivation. These images are not mountains, but the 520 acres of spirit fields that you have personally taken care of. The rice terraces are more conspicuous than the plains, and that’s why you mistakenly thought they were mountains.”
Although he had not practiced Mother Earth Cultivation himself, Chen Mobai was present when selecting this cultivation technique.
Hu Jinshan from the Book Pavilion once mentioned that if one has a vast and productive medicine field to apply his learning, the progress of practicing Mother Earth Cultivation would be the fastest among all Earth Attribute Cultivation Techniques.
After Zhuo Ming had developed all the spirit fields, he had unconsciously grasped the essence of the technique. In his meditation, he sensed the Earth Mother Air from these 520 acres of spirit fields and even started to comprehend the natural subtleties that can only be sensed after reaching divine sense during Qi Cultivation.
“However, your divine sense is still weak. If you immerse in the profoundness of the earth energy for a long time, your thoughts may lose their purity. I’ll teach you a Mind Incense recipe that you can burn during cultivation to maintain the clarity of your mind.”
If possible, Chen Mobai wanted to teach Zhuo Ming the Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique, but this technique belonged to the immortals.
Luckily, the immortals don’t restrict the spread of their alchemy recipes.
Chen Mobai thought of a Mind Incense recipe that could clear up the mind, took the pen and paper from Zhuo Ming, and wrote it down right there. The ingredients were common herbs and spices, and the alchemy method was straightforward.
Thanks to her long-term experience in brewing spiritual wine and her connection with Yan Jinye, Zhuo Ming knew many Qi Cultivator-disciples in the Alchemy Department. She had learned some skills in handling medicinal herbs, and so she could try to make the Mind Incense herself.
“Thank you, Master. I swear only I will use this recipe.”
Zhuo Ming solemnly took an oath after receiving the recipe.
In Eastern Wilderness, the importance of a recipe sometimes surpassed that of a cultivation technique inheritance.
Luo Yixuan, who was present, also knelt down and took an oath. Unable to resist her curiosity, she had glanced over Chen Mobai’s writing of the recipe, remembering everything in her mind.
Chen Mobai could do nothing about this custom but gave a bitter smile and gestured them both to stand up.
“Get up. Ming, you’re fortunate. You sensed the Earth Mother Air during your Qi Cultivation, which would be of great help for your final Core Formation step in the future. It seems that choosing the Mother Earth Cultivation was indeed the right decision.”
Many Spirit Plant Masters in the Divine Wood Sect have practiced Mother Earth Cultivation; it has a good reputation within the sect. However, because its combat capability is weak, many people only use it as a supplement to their main cultivation techniques.
But Zhuo Ming is simple-minded and followed Chen Mobai’s advice to switch her cultivation technique. Combined with the abundant spirit fields in Xiao Nanshan, her practice of Mother Earth Cultivation was a unique advantage.
Chen Mobai even thought that among his three disciples, Zhuo Ming might be the fastest and easiest to reach Foundation Establishment if they all take Foundation Building Pill at the same time.
“All thanks to your excellent teaching, Master.”
Even Zhuo Ming knew how to pay such compliments.
Chen Mobai picked up the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice and started eating, wondering if he should develop more spirit fields to assist his second disciple in her cultivation.
He decided to act immediately.
After finishing the spirit rice, Chen Mobai left Xiao Nanshan, entrusting Zhuo Ming to watch over the place while he and Luo Yixuan set off.
First, he went to visit Meng Hong.
The former Sect Leader had failed in his Core Formation and was considerably weakened. But he was open-minded and now spent most of his time fishing in different places in Giant Tree Ridge.
If Mu Yuan hadn’t led him, Chen Mobai would hardly have been able to find him.
“This wine is a bit strong.”
Naturally, he did not come empty-handed when he came to visit. He brought along the spiritual wine brewed the previous year, made from the Green Jade Spirit Rice by Zhuo Ming. It was considered the strongest wine produced by the Xiao Nanshan Shop, and even Meng Huang had tried it.
“Try this Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice; its clean, bamboo scent is perfect for neutralizing the alcohol.”
Chen Mobai also brought a mature stalk of Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice. Mu Yuan and Luo Yixuan cooked it for them as they were drinking. Meng Hong happily ate the rice and drank the wine, forgetting about his own fishing rod.
