Ning Xue spoke, her voice as lodious as an oriole: "Master, I have entered the Purple Mansion Realm. I am now an ancestor of the Purple Mansion as well!"
"Congratulations!"
Lu Xuanji smiled and said, "Reaching the Purple Mansion, you are no longer a mortal!"
"It’s all due to your excellent teaching, Master. Without you, how could I have achieved such success!"
Ning Xue said respectfully.
She did not beco arrogant and overbearing because of her improved cultivation.
Lu Xuanji nodded slightly.
Good, good, she hasn’t turned into an ingrate.
Many cultivators, after their cultivation improves, not only do they lack gratitude, but they also repay kindness with animosity.
"How do you feel?" Lu Xuanji asked.
"Very strong, very comfortable!"
Ning Xue replied.
Lu Xuanji asked so more questions, and Ning Xue responded.
After a brief conversation, they walked out of the retreat area.
As they exited the side hall, Ning Xue calculated the ti, and only five years had passed.
She rembered that in the Dan Yang Sect, so genius cultivators took twenty to thirty, or even fifty years, to achieve the Purple Mansion breakthrough.
Yet she only took five years.
All of this was thanks to Master’s help.
Though called dual cultivation, it was essentially Master’s infusion.
"Not bad, not bad, your foundation is solid, without a single flaw. Even when I attained the Purple Mansion, my foundation was not as solid as yours," Jin Xi said, her words carrying a hint of envy.
The human body has its limits, and many tis, once those limits are reached, there’s no further room for improvent.
But Ning Xue was fortunate to have the assistance of a Pure Yang Dao Body Golden Core Cultivator, continually pushing her limits and solidifying her foundation. Such benefits were sothing she had never encountered.
"Ning Xue, rest for a while!" Jin Xi ordered.
"Yes!"
Ning Xue nodded and turned to leave.
Constant seclusion can decrease efficiency; it’s best to balance work and rest.
Only two people remained in the hall.
Lu Xuanji curiously asked, "Where is the Ti Array? I’m quite curious too."
"Co this way!"
Jin Xi said, grasping Lu Xuanji’s hand, transforming into a ray of golden light and vanishing.
When they reappeared, they were already in the core hall.
In the center was a pool, with green liquid exuding a faint, refreshing fragrance. In the center of the pool was a tea tree, only a ter high, with tender leaves, just a small sapling.
In front was a stone stele, with dots of light flickering and so dormant ones seemingly yet to activate.
"Is this a Fourth Grade Enlightennt Tea Tree?"
Lu Xuanji approached and halted two ters away.
Enlightennt Tea isn’t particularly special in the Cultivation Immortality Realm.
So Foundation Establishnt Cultivators and Purple Mansion Cultivators often buy so Enlightennt Tea leaves to taste themselves or to entertain guests.
But most of these tea leaves range from First Grade to Third Grade, not only planted extensively but also frequently circulated in the market, not particularly rare.
However, at Fourth Grade, both the number of Spirit Trees and their yield decrease.
"Rember the Enlightennt Tea seed in the hall? Based on my speculation, that was an Immortal Grade Enlightennt Tea Tree turned into an Immortal Seed after Nirvana. Nurtured with the Spiritual Spring, it may beco Fourth Grade... To restore it to Immortal Grade, at least three thousand years are needed!"
Jin Xi said, sighing with a wistful expression.
Rembering so unpleasant mories.
If one could attest to Divinity Transformation, they might see the Immortal Grade Enlightennt Tea Tree mature; if not, they might perish, leaving it to others.
Lu Xuanji asked, "As far as I know, the Chaos Ancient Hall and Enlightennt Tea Tree, among others, are vital not only to Harmonization Cultivators but also to those about to ascend. Yet, why do these cultivators, about to ascend, leave their Lifebound Treasures, cherished Immortal Seeds, etc., in the Mortal World for the destined ones... I don’t think they’re so kind-hearted?"
Jin Xi explained, "When ascending to the Immortal Realm, one will face suppression from the Immortal Realm Laws. If ascending unclothed, without any treasures, the suppression is bearable; however, ascending with a Lifebound Treasure will increase the pressure and tribulations severely, almost certainly leading to death!"
"I see!"
Lu Xuanji nodded.
Walking to the stone stele, Jin Xi said, "There is an array on the stele called the Ti Flowing Light Array. When activated, it can accelerate ti up to a hundredfold at its peak. But the Spirit Stones consud during its operation are quite astonishing."
"Can I enter the array to train for a while?"
Lu Xuanji asked.
"No!"
Jin Xi directly refused, "You don’t even need to think about it!"
"Why is that?" Lu Xuanji asked.
Jin Xi explained, "The higher a cultivator’s cultivation, the greater their resistance to ti, making it harder to warp ti around them! During Qi Refining, ti can accelerate up to twentyfold; at Foundation Establishnt, only tenfold; at Purple Mansion, at most eightfold; at Golden Core, at most fivefold."
"As for you, although only in the Golden Core Fourth Transformation, your foundation is deeper, and your strength greater, making the Ti Acceleration Array less effective on you!"
"But I still wish to try!"
Lu Xuanji said.
"Alright, go over there; I’m there!" Jin Xi said.
With a flicker, Lu Xuanji found himself in a side hall.
"I’m starting now!"
"Alright!"
At this mont, the array patterns beneath his feet began operating, constantly twisting the void, with the Heaven and Earth Laws distorting, ti accelerating, and Lu Xuanji feeling a slight discomfort, his body instinctively resisting the twisting power of ti, contending with the surrounding array.
As the ti distortion intensified, it eventually overwheld Lu Xuanji’s physical resistance. At that mont, the sesa seed-sized Golden Core in his Dantian began to operate.
Aided by the Creation Golden Pill’s operation, it resisted the ti twisting force.
Crack!
Crack!
After three breaths of stalemate, the void resounded violently, and the grand array ceased operation.
Pfft!
In the distance, Jin Xi spat a mouthful of blood, her aura becoming weak.
Lu Xuanji stepped forward, holding her hand, and asked, "What happened?"
"Suffered backlash!" Jin Xi said, "Cough, cough! You have a strong essence, resisting the ti twisting force. Initially, activating the Ti Array could forcibly warp a Golden Core cultivator’s nearby ti fivefold. But for you, it’s impossible; your Golden Core grade is too high; I can’t twist the Ti Law!"
"What kind of Golden Core do you have, with such a high grade!"
She coughed again, beginning to heal in place.
This ti, activating the array, she suffered backlash, with her injuries being quite serious.
Lu Xuanji watched this scene, sighing gently.
He initially wanted to utilize the Ti Acceleration Array to speed up his cultivation and quickly reach the Golden Core Ninth Transformation; now it seems impossible.
