My Divine Diarychapter 428

Accumulating a large amount of spiritual power has always been the most difficult part for cultivators.

Restricted by the intensity of regional spiritual energy waves and the concentration of protein-like substances in the body, it takes at least a dozen years for a Golden Core stage cultivator to accumulate enough spiritual power. This is under the condition of having decent cultivation talent. For those with poorer talent, the time needed could extend to one or two hundred years or even more.

Regardless of the talent of these Golden Core cultivators, they shouldn’t think about breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm in the short term.

So at this time, most Golden Core cultivators wouldn’t choose to passively cultivate, but would seek external assistance to break through, such as through pills!

The demand for pills isn’t evident until the Foundation Establishment stage and below. However, once reaching the Golden Core stage, pills that enhance cultivation become a hot topic.

Who will refine what kind of pill, as long as rare spiritual herbs and flowers are provided, who is willing to offer how many spiritual stones to purchase what kind of pill…

Different levels, different communication contents.

As for magical treasures, they are not as important. Because everyone’s magical treasures are more or less the same. As long as one obtains a good one, it can be used for many years. But pills are different, they disappear completely after being ingested in just one or two days!

In summary, when it comes to pills that enhance spiritual power, the demand at the Golden Core stage is so great that it’s hard to imagine, making them extremely difficult to obtain.

As for Su Hao, does he lack pills?

The answer is yes! And he lacks them greatly!

Although his speed of converting spiritual power has reached fifty times that of an average cultivator, when calculated, it still takes at least half a year!

Moreover, starting from the Qi Induction stage, the amount of spiritual power in his body is much higher than that of others. So, to fill his Golden Core stage with spiritual power, he still needs at least two years!

To passively cultivate for two years to convert spiritual power? By then, he would be twenty years old!

This is something Su Hao absolutely cannot tolerate.

Within a month, he swallowed all kinds of pills he obtained from Gao Yan Divine Cave of Triple Phoneix Pavilion, finding that pills indeed could accelerate the conversion speed of spiritual power…

“It’s obvious that blind cultivation won’t work! It’s impossible to withstand at least two years like this! I have to find a way to get some pills first!”

However, Su Hao had never studied the pill project, and the pill project had already been handed over to Yashan. But Yashan currently didn’t have the time to study pill refining! Even if he knew how to refine pills, there weren’t enough spiritual herbs and flowers as materials.

Most of the materials harvested previously on the flying boat and Gao Yan Divine Cave were various materials for refining tools! The spiritual herbs and flowers that could be used for pill refining were in the minority!

“Then why not borrow some pills!”

Su Hao suddenly had another idea. Just borrow them to consume, it’s not like he won’t return them. He can return them after Yashan mass produces the pills!

“The matter of pills needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. We can still borrow enough pills now, but when it comes to the Nascent Soul realm, the need for spiritual power will be even greater, and we might not be able to borrow them. We need to rely on ourselves.”

If it takes so much time to convert spiritual power at the Golden Core stage, not to mention the Nascent Soul realm!

Su Hao’s mind turned, and soon a bright idea came to him: “Right, I remember more than four years ago when I entered the Elemental Constellation Sanhe Peaks, there was a super large medicinal garden inside, guarded by a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. That Nascent Soul stage cultivator should be one of the top elders in Elemental Constellation Sanhe Peaks for alchemy, right? There should also be many pills there?”

“And that vast medicinal garden is planted with many different kinds of spiritual herbs and flowers. I can also transplant some to my experimental base!”

Su Hao’s experimental base is located on the edge of the Immortal Sect, with a vast basin in front of the base. As long as the soil and environment are arranged properly, it can become a large area of excellent medicinal fields!

To produce various kinds of pills in the future, researching the properties of spiritual herbs is indispensable, and it’s necessary to cultivate spiritual herbs on one’s own.

With this in mind, Su Hao immediately went to report to the disciples’ registry and applied to have this large area included under his name for planting spiritual herbs.

Under the attack of sufficient contribution points and spiritual stones, the registration was completed soon. And this area would rightfully become Su Hao’s territory!

Then Su Hao returned to the experimental base, entered the pinball space, and began designing a protective formation for this medicinal garden.

After tinkering for a few days, Su Hao’s protective formation was initially designed: “Let’s call it the ‘Three-Day Bewilderment Formation’. Next, I’ll go select the materials for refining the formation eyes.”

Su Hao exited the pinball space, walked slowly, and gradually disappeared as he walked, appearing in the storage space.

Ten days later, Su Hao inserted two spiritual stones into a forearm-thick flying nail, then screwed the back cover on like inserting batteries into a flashlight.

“Finally done!”

Su Hao stood up, his spiritual power stimulated, and ninety-six flying nails floated up. Su Hao left the laboratory, and the flying nails followed him all the way.

Su Hao came to the middle of the small basin, with the surrounding terrain all imprinted in his mind through radar perception.

Su Hao closed his eyes slightly, focused, and pointed his hand: “Go!”

In an instant, the ninety-six flying nails turned into ninety-six golden lights and flew out in all directions, nailing into specific positions around the basin, disappearing from sight.

“Rise!”

With a movement of Su Hao’s mind, the ninety-six flying nails flashed with golden light and disappeared. Then, a red and blue mist gradually rose around the basin, covering the entire basin. Then, an outer layer of white mist appeared, obscuring the inner red and blue mist. It looked inconspicuous, blending in with the “Eight Rings Protecting Mountain Mist Formation” of Yunzhong Valley not far away.

The effect of this mist formation does not have any killing power, it only has two functions: one is to suppress perception, and the other is to cause dizziness.

The dizziness effect utilizes visual, auditory, and olfactory effects to disrupt the brain’s perception of the outside world, making it difficult to resist even for someone with Su Hao’s powerful mental strength.

Once a cultivator mistakenly enters it, they will find that their perception and spiritual senses are tightly suppressed. At the same time, they will feel dizzy, unable to distinguish up from down, left from right, east from west, as if they’ve spun around dozens of times and then tried to view the world. They can’t even stand steadily, let alone rush into Su Hao’s medicinal garden.

As for why not arrange a killing or protective formation?

Because although Su Hao has spiritual stones, he is not so extravagant. Attack or protective formations are indeed possible, but the consumption of spiritual stones is simply not something Su Hao can afford.

If he arranged a protective formation, the several boxes of spiritual stones he has would only last about a year without external attacks.

What’s the use of just one year?

On the other hand, mist formations like this one with low energy consumption can last for an extremely long time. With the two spiritual stones installed on each flying nail by Su Hao, the ‘Three-Day Bewilderment Formation’ in its low-efficiency state can be maintained for at least a year.

“Blink!”

Su Hao’s figure disappeared from the spot, but in the blink of an eye, he was seen flying back from a distance, with a small struggling gray rabbit in his hand.

Su Hao casually threw the rabbit into the mist. As soon as the rabbit entered, after hopping a few steps, it fell sideways like it was drunk, struggling to adjust its balance, but unable to do so. It hopped back and forth within a two-meter radius before lying motionless on the ground after a while.

Su Hao chuckled lightly. A cyan-colored hand extended from the versatile knife on his back, scooped the rabbit out of the mist formation, and then held its ears in front of him. The rabbit’s eyes were lifeless, looking hopeless.

Since that’s the case, Su Hao just casually threw it into the kitchen!

Su Hao flew into the sky on the universal knife, circled above the entire medicinal garden, found no problems, and then returned to his laboratory.

Why does Su Hao, a Golden Core cultivator, still need to ride an universal knife for flight?

That’s right, Su Hao still doesn’t know the conventional flying methods of cultivators, because he’s too lazy. He still hasn’t had time to practice the ‘Qi Shape Wind Escape Technique’…

He’s probably the only Golden Core cultivator in this cultivation world who doesn’t know how to use wind escape techniques!

Su Hao returned to the storage space again: “Among these materials, many can be used to make durable positioning stones. It’s better to make more now and place one in Elemental Constellation Sanhe Peaks for easy access.”
