162 Primary Elen
'Primary Elent? What's that?'
Ding
\u003cThe system shall relay Your Sponsor's ssages.\u003e
\u003c"Primary Elent is the core of your life essence production and regeneration. When you have mastered one of the elents, the primary elent crystal will be at the center of your essence pond, pool, river, or sea. It will continue to generate essence water and beco one of your critical foundation for your ascension in the future."\u003e
Cao Mao scanned through his dantian again. Similar to the description of the system, his wood elent crystal was the only one with life essence around itself while the lightning crystal simply floated around without relying on the essence pond. Currently, the wood elent crystal was his default primary elent.
\u003c"A low-level cultivator's dantian has a limited capacity, and you are no exception. One sea can only hold one primary elent. At your current cultivation base, you can only possess one primary elent. If you wish for a second primary elent, you have to condense another life essence sea. But before you can do that, you have to establish your first life essence sea first!"\u003e
Cultivators, including Cao Mao, never had it easy as the requirent for immortality and supre power was impossibly tough. Without realizing it, the system gave him another howork to do.
The corner of Cao Mao's mouth twitched as the number of tasks and skills he had to work on increased once more. He recollected what he had to do every day.
1. Dual-Cultivating / Increasing Cultivation Base / Increasing Life Essence Volu
2. Improving alchemy skill for Kunwu's quest
3. Sparring against 200% difficulty clones
4. Swordsmanship training
5. Dual-Cultivating because of his stressful lifestyle
6. System Skill practical training
7. Core Skill training
8. Elent Qi Application training
9. Studying the nature of dantian and its space.
10. Dual-Cultivating because life is stressful
11. Completing ITS upgrade conditions
12. Completing White Album's upgrade conditions
13. Researching for the best skill fusion combination.
14. Studying Xie Tian's murals and figure out the ti-and-space laws.
15. More dual-cultivating because having too many beautiful wives is stressful.
16. Having many babies is stressful, so dual-cultivating is a must.
17. He didn't have enough sex in the previous life. Therefore, dual-cultivating is a must.
18. Sex is fun, so why not more dual-cultivating?
19. When he doesn't have anything to do, dual-cultivating is a good hobby.
While Cao Mao was fantasizing about the upcoming night activity, the System Sponsor's lecture continued.
\u003c"Primary elents are your specialties. When the elent cores have the Life Essence Sea's support, the elent power will be 50% stronger than the secondary elents without a supporting essence sea. Therefore, if you want to be good at a certain elent, designate it an essence sea."\u003e
\u003c"Secondly, you can use your primary elents without using the actual elental Qi. For example, you can use wood elent power by using life essence, which cos from the essence sea with the wood elent crystal. However, you cannot substitute secondary elent power with life essence from another elent crystal."\u003e
\u003c"And lastly, only primary elents can evolve into advanced elents. For example, the wood elent can evolve into chloro elent. Even the powerful lightning elent can evolve into magnetic elent. Therefore, plan it beforehand! Pick your life path carefully since it will affect your fighting style, your future dao, and your future power in the long run."\u003e

\u003cEnd of ssages.\u003e
After hearing everything, Cao Mao grumbled. At the mont, he didn't have enough info about each elent characteristic to decide his goal.
'Haiz. It's too early for to choose. I need to finish gathering this lightning energy into my new elent crystal first. After that, I'll make my choice. For now, I should keep it as it is.'
Because of the lack of information, Cao Mao decided to keep his wood elent as his primary elent. After all, he had to evolve it into the chloro elent to establish a connection with the dryad queen.
Ding
\u003cYou have chosen the wood elent as your primary elent.\u003e
\u003cThe wood elent crystal is now the permanent core of your first life essence pond.\u003e
Unfortunately, the system mistook Cao Mao's ntal note as his final decision.
After the ssages, the wood elent crystal humd and devoured half of the remaining life essence in the pond. The yellowish miasma gathered around the pond, becoming a separator between the lightning Qi and pond of life essence.
It beca easier for Cao Mao to control the wood elent since the energy reacted to his every subtle thought. Still, he wasn't happy with the developnt.
'Oi! Wait a second! I haven't decided yet.'
\u003cYou did.\u003e
"…"
Once again, Cao Mao got trolled by the system. He wanted to vent and yell at the system, but it wasn't an appropriate ti at the mont.
Cao Mao had about 11-12 hours left to absorb and digest the lightning cloud. He needed to harvest and digest as many elent strands as he could.
.
.
.
12 hours later.
The fog dispersed as the tribulation reward ended. It revealed the lone cultivator inside, sitting cross-legged and sweating profusely.
In the end, Cao Mao couldn't digest every strand of lightning Qi from the cloud. It kept regenerating non-stop, and he could never eat all of them.
Yet, Cao Mao's lightning elent crystal was three tis bigger than the wood elent crystal inside the life essence pond. Electricity concentrated in the crystal as if it was an embodint of a thunderstorm. Every ti the crystal moved, it released forks of lightning.
Cao Mao kept the electric power inside his dantian without difficulty, but his stomach bloated as if he was 9-month pregnant. He was so full that he couldn't even drink a sip of water.
"Ara, Ara. Aren't you a bit greedy? I'm surprised, though. Who could have thought that a half-step Essence Gathering youngster can already control and digest lightning elent Qi within a day."
Hearing Zhang Junyi's tranny voice, Cao Mao had goosebumps. He leaped away from the speaker.
"Be respectful, brat. If not, you'll die," Jia Wenhe reprimanded Cao Mao since the mind of a 7th-stage monster was unpredictable. Zhang Junyi could be either a saint or a tyrant, depending on his mood.
Cao Mao sensed the domineering air around Zhang Junyi. He gulped and knelt, "This junior is rude. Please forgive , senior."
The garden master waved his hand, dismissing the formality, "Stand up, handso boy. At ease!"
"O-Okay."
Zhang Junyi inspected Cao Mao from head to toes. Fortunately, the latter never cut his hair for almost a year. His long black hair reached his shoulder, so the status discrimination wasn't a problem anymore.
Still, the garden master was interested in Cao Mao's foundation and his cultivation style.
"Who taught you the cultivation thod?"
"Pardon?"
"Ah, I should make things simple and direct. What is the na of your cultivation technique? Just tell the na. I don't want your cultivation secret or anything. I'm just curious."
Cao Mao had a wry smile on his face. He looked around to check the situation.
Then, Cao Mao found CJ and two other 5th-stage elders. The black alchemist gestured with his mouth and hand, telling the forr to give up resisting or he would be dead.
Jia Wenhe and Jia Shan also nodded at Cao Mao, signaling him to tell the garden master the truth.
Since nobody could help him, Cao Mao grumbled and told Zhang Junyi the truth, but he left out so information as always, "I'm a dual-cultivator."
"Oh, wow! I've never thought that you're also one of the heretics. Have you killed your sex partner yet?"
Cao Mao frowned, "I don't sink that low. My partners are healthy and happy."
"Hmm…" Zhang Junyi glanced at Ju Chen and the carriages, where he had sensed several strong girls and their babies, "You're right. No evil dual-cultivator has so many healthy partners and children. They would have killed and consud their babies on sight to increase their longevity."
Hearing the description of local dual-cultivators, Cao Mao was disgusted. No wonder why everyone got skeptical when he told the others that he was a dual-cultivator.
"Don't worry. I'm a family man. Whenever I dual-cultivate, my wives benefit from it also."
Zhang Junyi giggled, "I believe you. Well, since you're an upright man, I see no problem releasing her."
"???"
Zhang Junyi tore a talisman, and a sealed power faded. Then, an old lady in a handcuff appeared behind him.
The person behind Zhang Junyi was Ju Shoufen!
"I have received a direct order from Yuan Hua to capture this woman and deliver her to you, junior Cao Mao. Say, how did you contact our dao goddess? You're not even one of us."
The garden master's tone changed. In before, it was a calm feminine voice. But this ti, it was a threatening masculine voice.
Jia Wenhe, Ju Shoufen, and the others shrunk back in fear. Everyone could sense that Zhang Junyi had activated his domain power, showing his seriousness.
Cao Mao's right eyebrow twitched, warning him as well. He mustered his courage and left another partial truth, "She tried to recruit . She even gave a wet banana."
CJ, Zhang Junyi, and the two other wet banana garden elders widened their eyes in astonishnt, "She did?"
"Yeah. I just ate the banana when the tribulation cloud ford."
Zhang Junyi gave Cao Mao a skeptical look. He wanted to take him back to the Myriad Cauldron Sect for further interrogation, but he didn't want to offend Yuan Hua. For now, Zhang Junyi couldn't touch Cao Mao.
"Alright then. As requested, Ju Shoufen has been expelled from the Myriad Cauldron Sect from this day onward. The sect will not harm her, her family mbers, her disciples, you, and your family. In turn, don't interfere with what our new lord, Yuan Shaoqing, is about to do. As long as we stay out of each other's ways, nobody gets hurt. Is that a deal?"
Ju Shoufen and Jia Wenhe frowned. They looked back and forth between Zhang Junyi and Cao Mao in suspicion.
Cao Mao grinned and cupped his fist, "Thank you very much for your cooperation. We won't get involved."
"Good. Then, senior Ju. I know that Lord Yuan Shaoqing was at fault, but we have already compensated you a lot back then. I hope you can start over and forget the past grudge."
Ju Shoufen only snorted and massaged her wrists, which had just been released from the cuff. She glared at Zhang Junyi, but her anger disappeared after a brief mont.
"Fetch a phoenix down, and I'll vow with my dao heart that I won't pursue this matter ever again."
"That's impossible. A phoenix's feather is a god-grade item. Only Lady Yuan Hua or a Dao God can get their hands on it."
Ju Shoufen's killing intent soared. She tucked her hands in her sleeves, preparing for a fight.
But Cao Mao jumped in between Zhang Junyi and Ju Shoufen. He turned toward the old lady to appease her, "Now, now. Senior, please calm down."
Ju Shoufen opened her mouth and was about to yell at Cao Mao, but he whispered to her, "The Sun Crow told to rescue you from Yuan Shaoqing's n. Please cooperate."
The old lady widened her eyes in shock. She stared at Cao Mao in disbelief, "How did you!?"
"Shh! Let's go, okay? No fighting."
"…"
