I Have A Special Cultivation Talent

Chapter 18: Ransack the Blessed Land

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The formation of his celestial bone and the opening of his Mystery Gate had given Chen Jingzhai the power to freely utilize the power of heaven and earth.

That was the reason he was able to travel 100 feet in a single step while not wasting any of his energy.

At that moment, it was as if he had become one with the Blessed Land.

The Five-element Essence Power traced every step he took. It looked as if he was being moved by the essence power of heavens and earth.

It only took him a few seconds to reach Miao Yun, appearing in front of her as if he were a celestial being.

“You!” Miao Yun exclaimed as she studied the young man. “Have you reached the Foundation Plane?”

“No.” Chen Jingzhai smiled. “I’ve lost my cultivation but have achieved the innate physical body.”

“Oh?” The lady quickly approached the young man and put her finger on his chest. As her spiritual power spread throughout his body, she said, “Your hundred meridians are unimpeded, your muscles and bones strengthened. I can see that your Mystery Gate has been opened to gather the Power of Heavens and Earth. This is indeed the innate physical body! Looks like this is your land of opportunity!”

Miao Yun could not help but sigh with emotion as achieving the innate physical body was the final gate that a Foundation Plane cultivator had to open before breaking into the next realm.

Once the innate physical body was obtained, one could use the opened Mystery Gate to instantly percept the Spirit Opportunity.

One could then use the opportunity to purify their core and ascend to the Core Plane. It was considered the most important part of the Foundation Plane.

Even Miao Yun had yet to reach that stage.

Yet, Chen Jingzhai, who was still a cultivator in the Meditation Plane, had managed to find an opportunity to achieve that.

In the future, he would have an easier time walking down the Path of Core Purifying than his peers when he reaches that stage.

“Ms. Miao Yun, what should I do to cultivate now?” the young man asked.

“You don’t have to cultivate for the time being,” the lady replied. “There’s no need for you to train in a specific technique for now. As time passes, your innate physical body will subside and converge. What you have to do is realize the changes.”

As Miao Yun was a Foundation Plane cultivator herself, she knew a lot about the innate physical body.

Although Chen Jingzhai had lost his cultivation, he was able to gain stronger power from that.

One could always regain their cultivation, but achieving significant changes in their body was hard to come by.

If Chen Jingzhai was described as a raw grain in the past, then he was a grain that had gotten rid of his outer shell now. With a little training, he could become the perfect grain.

His potential had now far surpassed his past self.

“Then, should we look for the leyline and escape this place now?” Chen Jingzhai worriedly asked.

“What you have to do now is calm down and feel the merging of your body with the heavens and earth after achieving the innate physical body,” Miao Yun explained. “There’s no hurry in locating the leyline. We still have time for that. I’ve already recovered part of my power and undone the seal the demon king had put on me.”

She was able to cause a crack in the seal earlier than she thought because of the medicinal herb.

As her spiritual power slowly recovered, she started to circulate her technique to fight the Yellow Sands King’s seal, and she had succeeded in breaking it.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Chen Jingzhai sat down in front of Miao Yun and started to meditate with Miao Yun instructing him.

Time passed by in an instant, and 10 hours later, the young man was finally used to the changes in his body and was able to master the power surrounding him.

When he circulated the Presence Concealment Technique, his aura and qi disappeared.

Except for his skin, which was as smooth as jade, he looked and felt like a normal human.

As the young man meditated, Miao Yun took the chance to make a full recovery.

She then roamed around the Blessed Land and collected a ton of graded medicinal herbs and spirit plants.

Among the plants were five-element spirit fruits.

Since all of her spiritual items were taken away, there was no place for her to store the items.

To not waste the rare graded herbs and plants, they had no choice but to consume them.

Chen Jingzhai then led Miao Yun to the cave where the previous owner had stayed, and they began to go through the place more thoroughly.

Miao Yun then found a few monster skins and turned them into bags, one for her and one for Chen Jingzhai. They grabbed everything they could, including the trophies that the Yellow Sands King had collected.

When the young man sensed the mineral vein in the Blessed Land, Miao Yun used her spell to extract the essence of the vein and condensed it to form a simple magic item.

With that, they were now fully prepared and armed.

They then continued to scour the place, taking everything they could, including any fruits they came across.

They ate and drank as needed. Just as Miao Yun had instructed, Chen Jingzhai did not cultivate. Instead, he used up a lot of medicinal herbs and spirit fruits to further strengthen the foundation of his physical body.

On the other hand, Miao Yun used that stuff to increase her cultivation.

She had already reached the final stage of the Foundation Plane and was only a level away from completing the plane.

“It’s almost time!” Miao Yun said as she stood on top of the mountain with Chen Jingzhai.

With the five-element divine stone gone, the mountaintop had become spacious.

“Too bad that this Blessed Land is going to be destroyed...” Chen Jingzhai sighed.

“There’s nothing we can do about it.” Miao Yun shook her head. “We are trapped here and the only way for us to leave is to destroy it.”

“I remember you mentioned something about a mansion?”

“That’s something a Golden Core Sage can do. It’s made by extracting the leyline with a formation and merging it with the Blessed Land itself. They’ll then locate the spiritual leyline and use it as the eye of the matrix to create a stone tablet. That’s how they turn the Blessed Land into a Celestial Mansion. If they had a spiritual treasure or something stronger, they could turn the Celestial Mansion into a portable one.”

“What’s a spiritual treasure?” Chen Jingzhai asked.

“Magic item, spiritual item, magic treasure, and spiritual treasure,” Miao Yun explained. “Like the medicinal herbs, items are graded as well. Grade 1 items are called magic items and spiritual items refer to Grade 2 items. Grade 3 items are magic treasures, and Grade 4 are the spiritual treasures that I have just mentioned.”

“Grade 4?” Chen Jingzhai exclaimed.

“That’s right. We’ll need a Grade 4 spiritual treasure. It’s as rare as coming across a Nascent Zhenjun. Not only is finding spiritual treasure difficult, but coming across one that can make a Celestial Mansion portable is even more challenging. That’s why there’s nothing we can do but watch this Blessed Land get destroyed.”

Chen Jingzhai nodded. There was nothing he could do with his current cultivation.

His life mattered more than the rare Blessed Land that was about to fall.

“Should we move now?” he then asked.

Although he had lost his cultivation, he was still able to use spells through the essence power of heavens and earth.

He still retained the ability to use the Burrowing Technique and feel the leyline, which he had already located under the mountain he was standing on.

After a moment of hesitation, Miao Yun replied, “Later. I want to go back to the exterior part of the cavern.”

“To save the young cultivators?”

“Yes, they are all in this because of me. They could have had a bright future ahead of them instead of being trapped here. It feels wrong to leave them here to meet their demise.”

“I’ll go with you. Having an extra pair of hands is better than not having one,” Chen Jingzhai offered.

“You’re right.” Miao Yun nodded. “I got to admit that your Burrowing Technique is something else. We have to be extra careful.”

“Noted!”

Even though Chen Jingzhai agreed that they had to be careful, he believed that they should be fine as long as they did not face the Yellow Sands King in a head-to-head battle.

The biggest reason he suggested helping her was that he needed to leave a good impression on Miao Yun.

Other than that, he also wanted to see if any of his acquaintances were among the captives.

There were a lot of reasons for him to go with her.

Naturally, they found the guts to return to the cavern because they knew they could destroy the Blessed Land anytime.

“Let’s go,” Miao Yun said. “I’ve already inserted 72 magic items into the node of the leyline. I can make the items explode whenever I want. It’s more than enough to destroy this place.”

As the Blessed Land had to survive on the leyline, any changes that happened to the leyline would affect the land as well, and the connection between the two could be weakened through that.

If the node was interfered with, then the Blessed Land would be destroyed as the power of the leyline would swarm the land.

Since the Soaring Clouds Clan was famous for creating items, as a Foundation Plane disciple of the clan, it was natural that Miao Yun knew of the methods to create items as well.

However, even if she had reached the Advanced Foundation Plane, she had still yet to learn how to create spiritual items.

That was why she had created so many magical items—she wanted to be able to destroy the node with the number of explosions they could release all at once.

Chen Jingzhai nodded and subconsciously grabbed Miao Yun’s waist to lift her.

With the help of the Burrowing Technique, they suddenly disappeared into the ground while a faint moan could be heard just before that happened.
