“Master, what is this Receival Bead used for?”Chen Fei raised his head to look at Feng Xiupu and asked in confusion.
“It helps to absorb the Heaven Earth Vital Energy.”
Feng Xiupu put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Chen Fei with a smile. “Martial artists in the Body Tempering realm usually extract their inner strength from food and pills. However, in reality, there is vital qi in this world. Aperture Refinement realm warriors could use their aperture acupoints to absorb Vital Energy and strengthen their bodies.”
“Vital Energy, Aperture acupoints?”
Chen Fei looked at the bead in his hand and said in surprise, “This bead is equivalent to the human body’s acupuncture points?”
“The function is similar, but the effect is less than 10% or even lower.”
Feng Xiupu shook his head. “Even so, this Receival Bead is already very good. At the very least, it can allow Body Tempering realm martial artists to sense the existence of Heaven Earth Vital Energy in advance. It will be of some help when they cultivate to the Aperture Refinement Realm in the future.”
“That’s right, junior brother. In our sect, not many people below the legacy disciples have this thing,” Guo Linshan said with a smile.
“Then Senior Brother, you?” If it wasn’t for Guo Linshan, Shi Xueqin would definitely have run away. Guo Linshan would also have a share of the credit.
“I have one too. Master gave it to me.” Guo Linshan smiled and took out a Receival Bead from his bosom.
The Receival Bead could help absorb vital energy. To a martial artist in the Body Refinement Realm, it was a treasure that could speed up the improvement of their cultivation. Feng Xiupu was in the aperture tempering state back then, but he was injured and fell.
The Receival Bead had no effect on Feng Xiupu.
“I had to spend some time with the deacon of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect before I was able to exchange for a Receival Bead.” Feng Xiupu thought back to the scene from a few days ago and couldn’t help but shake his head.
In front of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, the Primordial Sword Sect was inferior.
“Is this thing difficult to refine?” Chen Fei asked curiously.
Not many people in the sect actually had one. Even Feng Xiupu had to grind for a few days before he could exchange for one at the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.
“It’s rare both inside and outside the sect. However, in the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, this Receival Bead was the standard issue of their outstanding inner sect disciples.” Feng Xiupu said in a low voice.
“Standard issue?”
Chen Fei’s eyes could not help but widen slightly as he said, “Isn’t this Receival Bead a Spiritual Tool?”
In Chen Fei’s opinion, this kind of thing that could help absorb the Heaven Earth Vital Energy was something that ordinary things could not do. Only the rumored Spirit Tool could do it.
But now, Feng Xiupu actually said that many disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had a Receival Bead as a standard issue? No matter how generous the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was, they couldn’t give everyone a spiritual weapon.
If that was the case, then the gap between the sects was too big.
“It’s not a Spiritual Tool. It only has a portion of its abilities.”
Feng Xiupu smiled. “This Receival Bead is a fruit core left behind by a spirit tree in the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. Therefore, it was not surprising that the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect could produce this every year.”
“Fruit core?”
Chen Fei felt that he had received a lot of information today. This thing was actually the core of a tree. If the core of the fruit had such an effect, then what would the flesh look like? What would happen after eating it?
“Don’t even think about it. Although this Receival Bead isn’t rare among the inner sect disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, its fruit isn’t something that just anyone can eat.”
Guo Linshan saw Chen Fei’s expression and knew what Chen Fei was thinking. He could not help but smile and pat Chen Fei’s shoulder.
“Since it’s a fruit core, can we plant it?”Chen Fei raised his head and asked.
“Many people have thought about it and tried it, but it didn’t work.”
Feng Xiupu shook his head and whispered, “Many people are envious of that spiritual tree. The strength of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect is partly due to this spiritual tree. However, the spiritual tree is very finicky and has very high environmental requirements. We can’t provide such a place. Also, this fruit core had been refined, and its vitality had long been severed.”
Chen Fei nodded in realization. He rubbed the Receival Bead and felt some of the patterns on the surface of the Receival Bead. It was indeed a wooden touch.
“Wearing the Receival Bead will have a certain effect, but if you want to unleash its full potential, it’s best to learn the universal method of this Spirit Tool.”
As Feng Xiupu spoke, he took out a secret manual from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Fei. Chen Fei took it curiously and found that the name of the secret manual was called Spirit Tool Comprehension.
“By the way, Master, do I need to use a special technique to control the jade pendant that I obtained from that demoness?”
Chen Fei suddenly thought of the jade pendant on Shi Xueqin’s body. He had been studying it with Guo Linshan for the past few days, but they had not found anything.
Whether it was his inner strength or something else, the jade pendant flickered for a moment that night before dimming as if it had become an ordinary piece of jade.
Chen Fei originally wanted to give this jade pendant to Guo Linshan, but Guo Linshan refused it no matter what, so it was still in Chen Fei’s hands.
“This is a half-spirit-tier. It should be a remnant of a failed attempt to refine a spirit weapon. True spirit weapons could only be fully activated by those at the aperture tempering state. Those at the aperture tempering state would usually have to consume their lifespan to activate them.”
Feng Xiupu glanced at the jade pendant and said regretfully.
“Master, how about this Thousand Snow Bamboo?”
It was a rare opportunity. Chen Fei took out another box. It was a gift from Si Yuanhai.
“It’s a little useful for defending against mental attacks.”
Feng Xiupu took a look and nodded. “In the future, if you want to refine a spirit weapon, you can also use it as an auxiliary material. It can be considered a pretty good spirit material.”
Chen Fei nodded. Compared to the jade pendant and the Receival Bead, although the Thousand Snow Bamboo had limited uses, it could still be used in the future.
“Junior Brother, if other people in the Visceral Tempering realm see your current wealth, they will probably have evil intentions.” Guo Linshan winked at Chen Fei.
“Yes, Linshan’s words are reasonable. These things should not be revealed in front of outsiders to avoid unnecessary trouble.” Feng Xiupu nodded and specially instructed.
“I understand.”
Chen Fei laughed. He wasn’t stupid. This was obviously not something that an ordinary Body Tempering realm cultivator should have. Usually, he would definitely hide it well. Why would he show it off everywhere? Was he tired of living?
“Be careful when you go out these days.”
Feng Xiupu nodded and turned to Guo Linshan. “You’ve already broken through to the Visceral Tempering realm. After adjusting yourself for the next few months, you can try to challenge the true inheritance.”
“Sounds good!” Guo Linshan said in a deep voice. Whether or not he could obtain the true inheritance was related to the upper limit of his martial arts in the future, so he had to be careful.
“How’s your cultivation?” Feng Xiupu looked at Chen Fei.
“Due to my injuries, I’ve been delayed a little. However, I should be able to cultivate the third stage of the Origin Connection Technique to perfection tomorrow.” Chen Fei estimated the progress and said in a low voice.
Feng Xiupu’s hand that was holding the teacup paused for a moment before he calmly put it down. A satisfied expression appeared on his face as he said, “Hmm, your cultivation is not bad. Come and find me tomorrow when your cultivation is complete.”
“Thank you, Master!” Chen Fei cupped his hands and smiled.
Guo Linshan was grinning from ear to ear. When he heard Chen Fei’s progress in his cultivation method, Guo Linshan almost choked on his own saliva.
Guo Linshan felt as if time had gone out of control. He clearly remembered that the last time Feng Xiupu had imparted the third stage of the Origin Connection Technique to Chen Fei was clearly ten days ago.
In other words, Chen Fei only spent about ten days to cultivate the third level of the Origin Connection Technique to perfection. The time taken to cultivate it to perfection was not much different from the time taken to cultivate the second level.
What kind of monstrous speed was this? Guo Linshan remembered that he had spent a very long time to cultivate the third level of the Origin Connection Technique to perfection.
Could it be that the Origin Connection Technique in the sect had actually changed to a different version? That was why there was such a huge difference in everyone’s cultivation speed?
Fifteen minutes later, Chen Fei and the others left Feng Xiupu’s courtyard.
Feng Xiupu watched as the two of them left, and a smile finally appeared on his tense face. He felt a little uncomfortable just now.
The comprehension ability that Chen Fei displayed was already stronger than ordinary legacy disciples.
When legacy disciples cultivated ordinary cultivation techniques, their speed was very fast. However, the real difference between legacy disciples and ordinary disciples was actually the cultivation speed of those high-level cultivation techniques.
The higher the level, the more it reflected the differences between people. It wasn’t obvious if the level was low.
If Chen Fei could still maintain this level of comprehension when it came to high-grade cultivation techniques, then Chen Fei’s future achievements would be worth looking forward to. As for the difference in his Innate Ability, he might be able to make up for it in the future.
However, Chen Fei’s current cultivation was too low, so all of this had to be kept a secret. Otherwise, a genius who hadn’t matured would not be a genius but a fallen meteor.
Chen Fei said goodbye to Guo Linshan and walked towards the Sutra Library inside the sect.
On this trip back to the sect, other than learning the Origin Connection Technique, the most important thing was to visit the Sutra Library. Not only was it the pill formula for the Flying Ascent Pill, but Chen Fei also wanted to find a cultivation technique that could strengthen his mental defense.
The Clear Heart Formula was very good, and it had helped Chen Fei withstand several crises. However, the current defense of the Clear Heart Formula could no longer keep up with the strength of the enemy’s attacks.
Just Si Yinan’s illusion alone made Chen Fei very wary.
This was only a child around the age of ten. Although it was because of his physique that he was not comparable to ordinary people, the two of them were now friends and not enemies.
However, Chen Fei had to make some preparations. Moreover, he might encounter even more powerful mental attacks in the future. Thus, there was absolutely no harm in strengthening this aspect.
The only thing he didn’t know was if there were any cultivation techniques in this area in the sect’s Sutra Library for Chen Fei to learn.
After pa.s.sing through a few mountain paths, they met some fellow disciples on the way. Both parties cupped their hands in greeting. Chen Fei also asked for directions. Finally, after some time, he saw a pavilion on a hill.
It was quiet in front of the pavilion, but a hundred meters away from the pavilion, there was a crowd.
“If you can’t buy it, it’s your loss. Thousand Yuan Hand, you deserve it! If you can’t beat him, you have to run fast. Let your enemies always shout behind you as they chase you from a thousand miles away!”
Just as he approached, Chen Fei heard the peddlers’ cries, which made him a little stunned..
