1798: Mind-blowing Spiritual Aura

Mind-blowing Spiritual Aura

After making a Spiritual Connection, everything about the Heaven and Earth Furnace was projected into Chen Xiaobei's mind.2

It was a deep black space like a cave, and within it, a ray of thin and wispy rainbow-colored Spiritual Aura fluttered gently in the air. 

Chen Xiaobei studied it for a moment.

"This is a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura! Everything on heaven and earth has Spirituality, the only difference is how much! In other words, everything relies on Spiritual Qi for growth! The higher the grade of an item, the more Spiritual Qi it will need, and the stronger its spirituality. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura content will also be higher! When the thing has absorbed the Spiritual Qi, it breaks them down and accumulates them little by little, bit by bit. A change is then triggered, and it changes into Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura!"

"This means the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura is the end-product, the essence of the cumulative Spiritual Qi! Although Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura is also an energy source, it is much stronger than Spiritual Qi!"

With the help of Scholar's Heart, Chen Xiaobei was able to understand the nature and essence of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura.

"So, if Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura are like an extremely high-grade Spiritual Qi, can I use it for cultivation?"

Chen Xiaobei allowed the cauldron to release the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura. He then took in a deep breath, sucking all of it into his body.

"Wow! This Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura is incredible!" Chen Xiaobei cried.

Chen Xiaobei could feel the effects of the aura immediately. It was the same feeling he experienced when he ate the 9,000-year-old Saturn Peach!

Ding!

[Cultivation: Early phase of God-Ascension; Lifespan: 19,100 years; Health: 1,064,000; Combat power: 524,000]

"Wow! 100 combat power and 100 health points! That's an instant increase! This is amazing!"

Chen Xiaobei was happy as a sandboy at his discovery.

"If I don't count the boost that my Heavenly Path's reward adds, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura from the Five-star Spiritual Instrument increased my health and combat power by 50 points each!" calculated Chen Xiaobei.

"After I break through to God-Ascension cultivation, one high-grade Spiritual Stone can add 100 points to either my health or combat power! Both methods add 100 points except one high-grade Spiritual Stone was equivalent to 10,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones, which also counts as 100 million low-grade Spiritual Stones – I can buy ten Five-star Spiritual Instruments with that amount!

"The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura refined from a Five-star Spiritual Instrument valued at 1 million low-grade Spiritual Stones. This corresponds to the Spiritual Qi of 100 million low-grade Spiritual Stones! That is to say, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura yield are ten times that of ordinary Spiritual Qi, and many times more than the Beast Cores!

Chen Xiaobei continued to be stunned by the numbers.

He may have to make changes to his cultivation strategy.

"The things that I have taken from the Tenshou exchequer range from One-star to Nine-star!" Chen Xiaobei rubbed his hands gleefully. "If I convert these resources to the standard of a five-star Spiritual Instrument and refine them into Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura, I can add up to 1 million points to my health and strength! No wonder Monkey King recommended the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura so highly! This energy is just out of this world!"

The more Chen Xiaobei thought about, the more excited he became.

"Although I've taken lots of resources from the Tenshou exchequer, they are mostly unappetizing and pathetic to me! Useless garbage! With this Heaven and Earth Furnace though, I can yield Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura from a One-star Spiritual Instrument! That's just like turning trash into treasure! I can even make a fortune from simply picking rubbish!

Turning trash into treasure was an extremely important skill to Chen Xiaobei!

A useless low-grade Spiritual Instrument could be refined into a utilitarian and valuable Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura!

It was absolutely incredible!

"But… I cannot use the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura just yet. Even though refining everything can hike up my cultivation, it won't get me to Earth-God cultivation! Instead, I should be using the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura to restore the Green Dragon sword and Red Dragon sword's Special Abilities! If I'm successful, I can wield power beyond my own strength with the swords! That would be even more of a worthwhile investment!"

At this thought, Chen Xiaobei immediately placed everything – except for the higher-grade Spiritual Medicines – he had taken from the Tenshou treasury into the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Then, he introduced a ball of Transmogrifying Flame to the cauldron. Because there were so many things inside, the refining process would take a long time.

...

Chen Xiaobei used this time to tend to Qin Yitian's shidi and completed the final round of acupuncture.

Needless to say, when he was done, Qin Yitian's shidi was able to leave his sickbed and walk – exactly as Chen Xiaobei had promised.

"Childe Chen! I know I've said this many times, but I still want to thank you!" Qin Yitian said earnestly.

Qin Yitian's shidi, on the other hand, saw Chen Xiaobei as his savior. Once he got off the bed, he immediately went down on his knees thanking Chen Xiaobei profusely!

"You don't have to thank me anymore. My ears are calloused from hearing your thanks for three days!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "If you really want to thank me, do something for me!"

"What is it? Just tell us! We'll do everything we can!" Qin Yitian and her shidi answered in a heartbeat.

Chen Xiaobei said, "I want to buy a lot of Spiritual Items, as many as possible! They have to Five-Star and above!"

Qin Yitian was taken aback by this strange request. "Why do you need so many Spiritual Items? Are you planning to build an army?"

"That is my secret. Just tell me if you can help me." Chen Xiaobei answered.

"Yes, of course!" Qin Yitian rubbed the back of her head. "But you have to give me the specific amount or it'll be really difficult for me to make the purchase!"

Chen Xiaobei said, "I have 50,000 high-grade Spiritual Stones, and 500,089,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones and around 30,100,003,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones! You do the math. How much can all this buy? Buy it all for me!"

 "What?!" Qin Yitian and her shidi stared at Chen Xiaobei.
