After all, the most daunting step is the first; once it is taken, the Xianwu Hall can no longer easily obstruct her promotion during the review.
Moreover, with a war about to break out, if she advances to Rank-5 with her main body, she will possess Divinity Transformation combat power, which might even aid in her Nascent Soul to Deity Transformation.
This is the best opportunity she has had in thousands of years in the Immortal Gate.
"Thank you for the reminder, Sage."
After listening to the advice from Peach Blossom Sage, an expert, Chen Mobai finally understood that in the Immortal Gate, leveling up a Spirit Plant is even more troublesome than a cultivator achieving Nascent Soul Formation.
After all, while the Immortal Gate still has available slots for Nascent Soul cultivators beyond the Patching Heaven quota, the other academies have not filled their quotas yet, so as long as one has the qualifications and capabilities, they can advance.
But for a Spirit Plant to advance, it requires not only self-effort but also connections.
No wonder both Red Sandstone City and Yu Wood City each only have one Rank-4 Spirit Wood.
Aside from the cost, the Xianwu Hall also does not permit it.
"After Yuan Xu and the others completed their research on the Blooming Moment, the Three Great Halls of the Immortal Gate introduced a new private Spirit Plant adoption policy. However, my main body, together with the Big Tree, was registered in the Forestry Administration long ago and belongs to the official sector..."
Speaking of this, Peach Blossom Sage also mentioned a new policy introduced by the Xianwu Hall, due to the collaboration of the four top universities including the Dance Instruments, Patching Heaven, and Jumang Tian Shu academies in recent years.
This policy is greatly beneficial for new cultivators, but for someone like her, who has long been marked by the Immortal Gate, it offers no advantage.
"Ultimately, it’s because the Immortal Gate’s resources are insufficient..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai sighed softly. However, it also reminded him that if he truly allows the Jade Phoenix Tree to advance after his own Divinity Transformation, he might need to consider this aspect.
As he left, Chen Mobai sensed all the spiritual energy of the Jumang Daoist Academy flowing towards some mysterious island, understanding that it must be where Peach Blossom Sage’s main body, and Pei Qingshuang’s site of Nascent Soul Formation, is located.
Under the state of the Void Evasion Technique, he detected that there was actually a Domain at the center of the island.
However, given his restraint in the Immortal Gate, he did not delve further.
Still, he curiously asked Peach Blossom Sage next to him about Pei Qingshuang’s status in achieving Nascent Soul, to which the latter’s charming face displayed a mix of joy and worry.
"I can sense that she is about to succeed, but she hasn’t officially come out of seclusion, so I dare not speak with certainty."
Chen Mobai nodded lightly after hearing this.
Pei Qingshuang’s resource conditions within the Immortal Gate are probably second only to his. Plus, with the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy and Pure Yang Purple Qi he provided, along with the assistance of the Rank-5 Qing Shuang Sword, if she still cannot succeed, it could only be attributed to a problem with talent.
"If Councilor Pei achieves Nascent Soul successfully, I wonder if the Spirit Veins of the Jumang Daoist Academy could be borrowed for a friend’s attempt at Nascent Soul formation?"
Chen Mobai was speaking on behalf of Yan Qiongzhi because if she achieves Nascent Soul, she would be considered one of his allies.
"After Cui, there is another teacher from our academy who needs to use it. If the friend of Pure Yang Master intends to come, they might need to wait in line."
Peach Blossom Sage did not directly agree but instead explained the situation and roughly estimated that it would take several years.
After all, if Pei Qingshuang succeeds in forming a Nascent Soul, she would need some time to consolidate her realm, and with someone after her, it would indeed take at least that long.
"In that case, I will see if I can arrange for her to go to the Sea Territory."
If it drags on for too long, Chen Mobai felt it would not be worth it.
After all, the Shocking God Sonata of the Immortal Gate has been rehearsed almost completely, waiting for the results of two cultivators who have achieved Perfect Core Formation to form their Nascent Souls. Among them, the one transforming into a Legal Body Nascent Soul, although progressing slowly due to the Immortal Gate’s lack of experience, is expected to succeed in the next couple of years.
The upper echelons of the Immortal Gate are considerate of future generations.
The scheduling of the Shocking God Sonata at this time is meant to give the latest batch of cultivators, who have obtained the Nascent Soul Formation resources, an opportunity.
If they can achieve Nascent Soul, they naturally gain this rare opportunity.
Therefore, the competition for the Infant-Accumulating Elixir has become much more intense than for the Infant-Transforming Elixir.
Yan Qiongzhi obtained it, thanks to Chen Mobai.
Although the three spirit medicines for Nascent Soul Formation are equally famous, their value still varies, with the Infant-Transforming Elixir being universally acknowledged as the most useful, followed by the Infant-Feeding Elixir, and lastly the Infant-Accumulating Elixir.
Not only Yan Qiongzhi and Pei Qingshuang, but Lan Haitian also chose the Infant-Accumulating Elixir.
But Lan Haitian, worthy of being regarded as the top talent in the Immortal Gate before Chen Mobai, successfully achieved Nascent Soul Formation two years earlier and is currently consolidating his realm in the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains.
Under the slightly apologetic farewell of Peach Blossom Sage, Chen Mobai transformed into a silver light and vanished from the Jumang Daoist Academy.
"Huh, how does his Void Teleportation seem so effortless?"
Watching Chen Mobai depart, Peach Blossom Sage was somewhat puzzled.
As the Spirit Plant of the Jumang Daoist Academy, she had witnessed scenes of past cultivators of the Lasting Spring Cultivation using Void Teleportation, but none like Chen Mobai, devoid of any earthly trace.
Previously, when Wenren Xuewei would perform it, the Power of Void around her would undulate for a long time before calming down, like a stone thrown into a lake.
But Chen Mobai’s departure was like a breath blown across a lake’s surface, creating only faint ripples, and the Power of Void soon returned to mirror-like calmness.
