I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 375: Mu Bai's Breakthrough (Part 2)

Mu Bai Daozhang briefly pondered, then stopped thinking and fully immersed himself in the breakthrough.

Lin Qing and the others continued to maintain the Dan fire, and the secret chamber was filled with the sound of the fire. Apart from that, it was extremely quiet. Whenever Lin Qing and the others felt a depletion of spiritual power, they immediately replenished it with spirit stones. The Dan fire burned continuously for a whole day and night.

At this point, even though Lin Qing and the others were powerful, they felt extremely exhausted.

But now, with a gesture from Mu Bai Daozhang, Lin Qing and the others finally stopped. What was even more miraculous was that Mu Bai Daozhang, despite being burned like this, seemed completely unaffected. At this moment, he was holding a spell in his hand and opened his mouth.

Lin Qing looked over and saw that the Gold Core inside Mu Bai Daozhang's body was slowly being expelled.

This Gold Core was the size of a thumb and had turned completely black. Lin Qing couldn't help but think that perhaps their Dan fire, although it seemed to burn on Mu Bai Daozhang's body, was actually burning on the Gold Core.

As the Gold Core was expelled, Mu Bai Daozhang's expression became tense. He carefully watched the Gold Core and held a spell in his hand.

"Go!"

With a low shout, an astonishing amount of spiritual power erupted from his hand and directly attacked the Gold Core.

Lin Qing and the others also didn't stand idle. They each held a spell and attacked the Gold Core. The majestic spiritual power they possessed was beyond what low-level cultivators could imagine.

Lin Qing gradually understood that this method of breakthrough could be described as a method of ripening. It forcefully pushed the Gold Core to its breakthrough bottleneck, causing it to shatter and transform into a Nascent Infant. Without the natural baptism of the body during the infant transformation, there would naturally be no increase in lifespan. Moreover, the strength obtained would probably not be very strong, and there would be no chance of winning against an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even so, once the breakthrough was successful, there would still be an absolute advantage for the Gold Core, and it should be no problem to drive away the demonic cultivators in Lan Prefecture.

Thinking like this, the spiritual power in Lin Qing's hand increased. Mu Bai Daozhang gratefully glanced at Lin Qing and then focused his attention on the Gold Core.

After absorbing so much spiritual power, Mu Bai Daozhang's Gold Core had already emitted a faint white light from its black surface. He silently recited the contents of the jade slip in his mind, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.

It was just as Lin Qing had thought. This was indeed a method of ripening, and the timing had to be just right. If there was too little spiritual power, all previous efforts would be in vain. If there was too much spiritual power, it would explode, causing one's cultivation to plummet. It could be said that there was no room for error.

After infusing for about a quarter of an hour, Mu Bai Daozhang's hand seal changed, and Lin Qing and the others immediately withdrew their spiritual power.

They saw Mu Bai Daozhang alone, controlling the Gold Core as it slowly flew towards his mouth. The process was extremely meticulous. This was the most critical moment. If someone were to disturb him, not only would Mu Bai Daozhang's breakthrough fail, but he would also find it difficult to resist.

But Lin Qing and the others had benefited from Mu Bai Daozhang, so who would do such a thing? They simply watched.

As for the demonic cultivators, they had already been driven out of Xiaoyun Prefecture, so it was even less likely for them to come. This was probably also the reason why Mu Bai Daozhang chose to break through in Dali.

Before long, the unstable Gold Core was successfully retrieved by Mu Bai Daozhang.

Visibly relaxed, he then glanced at Lin Qing and the others. Lin Qing and the others simultaneously activated a portion of their spells and leaned against Mu Bai Daozhang.

This breakthrough was not a simple matter, and there were many procedures involved. But if they could successfully break through, it would all be worth it.

Over the next three days, Lin Qing and the others occasionally used their techniques, occasionally outputted spiritual power, and occasionally helped Master Mu Bai adjust. Everyone was exhausted, without even a moment of rest.

By the fifth day, Lin Qing and the others had finished their tasks, and it was up to Master Mu Bai himself.

At this moment, Master Mu Bai's body had already taken on a baby-like texture, and it emitted a faint fragrance. Lin Qing remembered this in her heart; this might be the anomaly that occurs when breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Master Mu Bai had his eyes tightly closed, his hands forming seals in front of his abdomen, motionless, not even breathing. He was like a sculpture.

After holding their breath for half an hour, the fragrance became stronger and filled the entire secret room.

When the fragrance reached its peak, it suddenly disappeared. Lin Qing and the others looked at Master Mu Bai in surprise, only to see him slowly open his eyes. At the same time, a small figure about an inch tall appeared above his head.

Just like Master Mu Bai, this small figure was completely naked, emitting a faint white light.

The small figure also looked at Lin Qing and the others. For some reason, when it saw them smiling, it seemed to have no hostility.

Although Master Mu Bai couldn't see the small figure above his head, he felt something and revealed a hint of joy. This joy became stronger and stronger, and soon he had a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Master Mu Bai, on successfully breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage!" Master San Ku spoke up. The small figure above Master Mu Bai's head was naturally his Nascent Soul. With the birth of the Nascent Soul, the success or failure of the breakthrough was self-evident.

"Congratulations, Master Mu Bai. Oh, I should call you Senior now. Congratulations, Senior Mu Bai," Lei Jianzi said, changing his address halfway through.

"No need, just call me Master," Master Mu Bai spoke with a joyful tone.

"Mu Bai, I didn't expect you to break through to the Nascent Soul stage before me. Congratulations," Fellow Daoist Hua also spoke up.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Master," Lin Qing and the others congratulated as well.

Master Mu Bai was about to reply when he suddenly felt something and looked up. Lin Qing and the others also looked in that direction. The Nascent Soul that had been lively and constantly watching them just now now looked exhausted and wanted to enter Master Mu Bai's head.

Master Mu Bai showed a hint of surprise, but the Nascent Soul still went back inside.

"It seems to be newly born and a bit tired," Master Mu Bai said.

Lin Qing and the others naturally agreed. However, Lin Qing thought that perhaps the Nascent Soul that broke through using this method might not be as powerful, after all, it had only come out for a short while before wanting to go back in, unlike the powerful Nascent Souls rumored to exist.

Master Mu Bai seemed to have thought of this as well. However, he stood up at this moment and said nonchalantly, "Regardless, this breakthrough was successful. Thank you, Fellow Daoists, for your assistance. I will fulfill the promise I made. I have already copied four copies of the jade slip and placed them in your rooms. You can retrieve them whenever you want."

"Thank you, Master Mu Bai."

Lin Qing and the others said again.

Suddenly, Fellow Daoist Hua laughed lightly and said, "Master Mu Bai, how long are you going to stay naked? So many fellow cultivators are watching."
