I Have A Special Cultivation Talent Novel - Chapter 81
Chapter 81: Restricted Formation Tool
The Tianyahai Pavilion was like a beacon of solitude at Daoxuan Peak.
No matter how the clouds or fog changed around it, it remained pretty.
Although only 100 days had passed, Chen Jingzhai felt as if it had been ages since he had returned to the pavilion when standing before it.
“Looks like I’m already accustomed to this place without realizing it.” The boy smiled.
He felt great about having a place of his own at Daoxuan Peak.
Chen Jingzhai unsealed the Restriction and headed into the pavilion. His four maids were already waiting for his return and greeted him.
They were so passionate with their greetings that he could almost smell the faint sweet aroma of them with every step they took.
Chen Jingzhai welcomed their passions and headed into the living room.
Without even asking, the four maids reported all the things that had happened in the past 100 days when he was away.
The first thing was that the herb garden had been plowed and the seeds planted.
…
Next, the spirit plants were growing healthily in the other land.
The spiritual stones that Chen Jingzhai had left to handle the gardens were enough to last for a couple of years.
On the other hand, despite the attention the maids had given to the spirit silkworm, three of them had died from illnesses.
That was why Hong Chan decided to buy a bag of spirit mulberry seeds from Deacon Hall to plant near the silkworm farm.
The mulberry leaves were one of the silkworms’ favorite foods.
She still remembered that her young master had mentioned that he wasn’t eager for the spirit silkworms to grow. Instead, what he wanted were high-quality silkworms.
That was why she tended to the silkworms carefully, hoping that one day they would be able to produce high-quality silk.
“Mr. Zeng Wangbei also left a message for you, young master,” Hong Xiu said.
“What’s the message?”
“He has accepted a mission and won’t be back for the next two years. He also said that he’ll be waiting at Pulao Kingdom, hoping that he’ll meet you there.”
“Pulao Kingdom, is it?” Chen Jingzhai slightly frowned. “I get it.”
The biggest reward he had gotten from the expedition into the secret zone was that he had impressed the geniuses of other peaks.
Although some of them had yet to accept him fully, they had at least given their credit to his performance.
He also heard about many things he had never learned about.
One of them was the Battle of Dragon at Pulao Kingdom.
Before arriving at the Luo Sheng Sword School, he had been a mere aspirant cultivator in White Cloud City ever since he was six years old.
Since the Aspirant Cultivators Academy rarely involved itself in the matters of the mortal world, Chen Jingzhai didn’t learn much about the kingdom.
However, he had heard many things about Pulao Kingdom from Zhao Qinghe and other disciples in the secret zone.
One of the pieces of information was that Pulao Kingdom was different than a mortal kingdom.
The most significant difference was that the kingdom was established more than a thousand years ago.
Not only that but the royalties were also trained in cultivation, which was why throughout 1,000 years, the kingdom only had four rulers.
Most of the nobles were also rogue cultivators, and after more than 1,000 years of cultivation, they were also somewhat powerful.
That was why, despite having more than a dozen celestial clans existing inside the kingdom, it remained a mortal one.
Instead, the ruler continued to rule the kingdom while the celestial clans focused on raising potential aspirant cultivators.
From how Chen Jingzhai saw it, that was how Pulao Kingdom managed to survive until now.
Letting the celestial clans handle the aspirant cultivators was the only way to maintain peace.
If not, the celestial clans would never let the kingdom continue to grow.
There was also the fact that the celestial clans kept each other in check.
The current situation of the kingdom was that the fourth ruler had gathered an artificial core to extend his life forcefully.
The crown prince and a group of dukes had been working with each other in secret, waiting for the fourth ruler to pass away so that the crown prince could become the fifth ruler.
It was something extremely important to the mortals.
However, to a celestial clan, it was nothing more than a test for the disciples, just like what the Luo Sheng Sword School disciples were doing.
Every peak of the Luo Sheng Sword School would choose to support a member of the royal family in their conquest to become the next ruler.
However, the decision lay in the disciples’ hands, and the higher-ups of each peak would not interfere.
It didn’t matter if the disciples had failed, as it would be nothing more than training for them. However, they weren’t allowed to return to the clan if they failed.
They would have to work under the disciples of other peaks for a while.
The only things that mattered to the Luo Sheng Sword School were the aspirant cultivators and the atmosphere of Pulao Kingdom.
The other celestial clans had the same agenda as well.
They were an existence that existed outside the mortal world.
The shift in Pulao Kingdom’s power was nothing more than a game of chess to them.
It was just a way to train the minds of their disciples in the Foundation Establishment Plane.
Like his peers, Zeng Wangbei had to head to Pulao Kingdom even though he had not completely established his foundation.
Even Chen Jingzhai could not escape that fate, not even when he was already mature enough.
After a quick train of thoughts, Chen Jingzhai, with no expression on his face, ordered his maids to continue with the usual routine.
He then rewarded them with more spiritual stones.
With those and the elixirs he had given them, they should be able to reach Level 9 of the Meditation Plane.
However, it would not be enough for them to establish their foundation.
It wasn’t because of the lack of resources but the lack of talents.
“I’ll be entering Seclusion Training right away to prepare for the Foundation Establishment Elixirs’ production. You four should focus on honing your skills and cultivation. Once you reach Level 9 of the Foundation Plane, I’ll prepare Foundation Establishment Elixirs for all of you. You girls will be my disciples when that happens.”
Chen Jingzhai had planned out his maids’ futures for them.
Although they were servants, they were gorgeous and smart. They were also tough and tenacious.
Chen Jingzhai wasn’t even worried about their slight lack of talents as he had many ways to secure resources for them.
It had always been his plan to help them grow.
Even if he had his senior sister’s support inside Daoxuan Peak, he still needed people to assist him as he was still new.
Naturally, the four ladies were delighted to hear that. They left after thanking their young master for the rewards and the promise.
Chen Jingzhai then headed into the training room and activated the Yin Yang Formation.
Next, he threw two Essence Power Pearls into the formation, one toward the right and the other toward the left.
The essence power of the formation immediately rose by three levels, and he was immediately shrouded in it.
Chen Jingzhai wasn’t eager to start the elixir alchemy. Instead, he recalled all the gains and losses of the exploration in the secret zone.
The biggest gain was the discovery of the space inside the divine stone.
The next was completing the Small Heavens Cloud Forbidden Restriction.
Then there was the high-grade magic treasure.
He couldn’t modify the space inside the divine stone at the moment as he was still unable to fully take over the divine stone before he had achieved the third divine pattern.
On the other hand, mastering the Small Heavens Cloud Forbidden Restriction allowed him to activate wind, water, and thunder attributes spells.
Those were restriction spells that stemmed from Restrictions. Unlike regular spells, the fundamental of a restriction spell was still a Restriction.
As for the magic treasures, he took out the Five Bamboo Sword and the mirror.
The sword was a middle-grade magic treasure, an item whose level he had intended to raise.
Unfortunately, he lacked sufficient ingredients to gather all five attributes and was unable to summon the fire attribute. It was different from what he had expected.
The fortunate thing was that he was still in the Foundation Establishment Plane, and having a magic treasure was more than enough.
Compared to the sword, the mirror was a grade higher than it. It was a high-grade magic treasure.
To make matters even more interesting was the fact that the mirror was made by using the Small Heavens Cloud Forbidden Restriction.
Despite still being a Foundation Establishment Plane cultivator, Chen Jingzhai was able to process it and use it.
He immediately injected his spiritual power into the mirror and marked the mirror with his divine mind.
There were three different Restrictions on the mirror: the Mountain River Cloud Restriction, Wind and Rain Restriction, and Heaven World Restriction.
Chen Jingzhai unsealed the Restrictions with ease, and the mirror suddenly shone brightly.
The ray entered his upper core and floated inside the divine stone.
In the next instant, a huge amount of information flooded his brain.
“Who knew that this is the rare Restriction formation tool, the Great Heaven Mirror!” he opened his eyes and exclaimed. “It can absorb different Restrictions and increase its levels by deriving the absorbed Restrictions! Incredible!”
The mirror was much more valuable than he had expected. It was as important as a spiritual treasure, as it wasn’t a normal magic treasure but a long-lost item.
It was one of the best items for a formation master, as it allowed them to create formations in an instance.
The most powerful aspect of the mirror was its growable potential, just like the bone sword he had, which could slowly become a magic treasure.
However, there was a slight difference as the Great Heaven Mirror could achieve a higher level at a faster pace as long as it could absorb enough formations.
Other than the divine stone, the mirror’s potential and power made it the best item in Chen Jingzhai’s arsenal.
