The Rebirth of an Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 04: The Array of the Spirit Marauder
Mo Lian stepped her feet towards the cashier table, which was guarded by a middle-aged man in traditional Chinese clothes in grey.
"Can I help you?" The middle-aged man asked Mo Lian for a need.
Mo Lian nodded her small head in return, then took out a piece of paper containing a list of herbs. "Can you prepare the ingredients that are here?" ask Mo Lian back while handing over the list of herbs.
The middle-aged man read the herbs written on the list, then gave a small nod. "Please wait a minute" he said goodbye to Mo Lian towards the spice shelves not far from the cashier's desk.
A few minutes later, the middle-aged man returned to the cashier table with a bag full of herbs and spices. "It's Mister. The total is 50,000 Yuan" he told the price.
Mo Lian was a little surprised by the price mentioned, but she understood why it was so expensive. Because finding quality herbs on Earth is very difficult. Finally Mo Lian also paid the agreed amount of money through e-banking, then turned to the exit.
Cultivating without any help was indeed possible, but it would be a very slow process. Things like medicine and precious treasures containing spiritual energy would greatly increase the progress rate of a cultivator. Although the herbal medicines on Earth were very low in quality, it was better than nothing.
Mo Lian stood in front of the driveway from Jinli Road to stop the taxi.
The gray-colored car with a black stripe pattern stopped right in front of Mo Lian. Slowly, the window opened revealing a middle-aged man in a white uniform. "Where are you going?" asked the middle-aged man without making small talk.
"Xuan Apartment," Mo Lian briefly replied.
Xuan Apartment is an apartment located not far from the center of Chengdu City, has a strategic location. Although it is said to be a cheap apartment, it actually has a rental price of 3000 Yuan for one month. Which was an expensive price for Mo Lian.
The middle-aged man nodded slightly, then unlocked the back door of the car.
Mo Lian entered the taxi, and closed the door. He leaned back in the back seat and closed his eyes for a moment. A few minutes passed quickly, and the taxi stopped right in front of the apartment.
"How much?"
"100 Yuan," replied the middle-aged man.
Mo Lian gave a small nod, then took out the fitting money. "Thank you" he said briefly then got out of the taxi.
After paying the taxi. Mo Lian entered her apartment to prepare the herbs and spices she had bought earlier.
To prepare this potion, he did not need the Alchemy Furnace, nor did he need to boil it for two days and two nights as the pharmacist in the medicinal shop suggested.
Mo Lian simply drew a circle directly on the floor of the apartment, then spread the medicine around and inside the circle. Then he stepped into the circle and initiated an art that he knew to utilize the qi of herbs.
"Array of the Spirit Robbery!"
This was the most basic array formation a cultivator could summon.
The herbs and spices that he had spread around him began to dance on the ground until they threw themselves towards Mo Lian.
As the name implies, this technique is used to pull spirit qi from herbs and combine them by forming into a dense lump of spiritual energy. This is an easy spell to execute, but it is very effective. It could not only attract qi in common potions but also in other precious treasures.
Cultivators had been studying and developing cultivation techniques for millions of years, and therefore they no longer needed to follow the complicated cultivation methods described in Xianxia novels, he said, just like having to cultivate herbs into pills just to get abundant spiritual energy.
The effectiveness of the array array array itself largely depends on the experience of the cultivator. In Mo Lian's past life, he had been widely regarded as a great master in using arrays.
With eyes closed, Mo Lian continued to utilize the qi in the potion for hours. When he finally opened his eyes, the sun had set on the western horizon.
"Today's cultivation is even more effective than overnight efforts. Unfortunately, the effect will not last long. But at least I have entered the Early Profound Phase, where I can see the direction of the bullet rate fired from the gun." Mo Lian frowned.
"Why is this potion so expensive? I've already spent half my income from selling Talisman. I can no longer use this method to increase my strength."
Mo Lian moved from her place to the bathroom to clean herself up, then went to sleep.
***
Mo Lian woke up from her sleep when the alarm clock went off at exactly five in the morning. He got out of bed to clean himself up, before getting ready to go to school.
Actually Mo Lian was very reluctant to go to school, because for her now, it was not important. But because he currently did not have adequate strength, and did not want to disappoint his mother, Mo Lian finally decided to stay in school.
The distance between the apartment and Chengdu 1 SMA itself is only 2 miles. Previously, before Mo Lian cultivated, she always went to school using a taxi or bus, which was very expensive.
But fortunately now he does not have to worry anymore about the cost of going to school, it is because he only needs to walk or run, while stretching his leg muscles that have not been moved for a long time.
On the road to High School 1 there were a lot of female pedestrians staring at her, especially with the appearance of Mo Lian's face that was not inferior to the celebrities, she said, not even a few who secretly talk about his good looks.
Mo Lian who heard that only shook her head with a slight smile of satisfaction, she herself did not know why she was smiling when she found praise about her appearance, which when he was in the Central Galaxy he was always silent with a cold face.
"Maybe because on Earth it is so peaceful, that I forget my true intentions and fall asleep because of a little praise." Mo Lian shook her head again.
A few minutes passed quickly, now that Mo Lian had been in front of the gate that read 'SMA 1 Chengdu' on it.
Once again, many gazes from the female students were looking at Mo Lian as she just arrived. Some chatter from them was heard in Mo Lian's ears.
"Is that Mo Lian the former basketball captain? Didn't she have an accident that left her leg unable to move?" ask one of them.
"really. Two days ago I saw him still using a cane to help him walk, but today he has been able to walk normally ..."
"Not only that, just look at his face. No more terrible scars, whether all this time he was just pretending to be deformed and hiding the fact that he had healed. His height increased ..."
The chatter continued throughout Mo Lian's walk, until finally the bell rang which dispersed the crowd of students to enter their respective classes.
As he entered the classroom, there was another conversation about his strange recovery. How not, in just one invisible day, Mo Lian had already changed a lot according to their views.
Many of the students thought that Mo Lian had done plastic surgery on her face. But when you look back on the time it took, it was impossible. Finally until the final lesson hour ended, all the students still had a big question in their minds regarding Mo Lian's change.
Mo Lian did not go straight home when she heard the last bell, but rather she waited for all the students to return home first, so that she could head to the mountain behind the school building without being known to the other students, so that she could head to the mountain behind the school building, which one he wanted to cultivate back in the Lotus Lake.
Although the spiritual aura in the Lotus Lake was not up to 1/10,000th that of the Central Galaxy, but it was better than nothing.
On Earth, where the air had been polluted, it was very difficult to find a quiet place with fresh air to cultivate.
Mo Lian had read the website on the internet, there it was written that the freshness of the air on Mount Emei was very awake even though several villas had been built by prominent people from Sichuan Province, Sichuan Province, it is even said there to have a lake that can glow when illuminated by moonlight.
Mo Lian was sure that there had a very dense spiritual aura for the size of the Earth. He also wanted to have one villa there, but considering the cheapest villa price was 10 million Yuan. Mo Lian could only shake her head resignedly.
"It would sell 100 Talismans if I wanted to have a villa there. But who would want to buy that many Talismans." Mo Lian shook her head in disappointment, then closed her eyes to cultivate on the shores of the Lotus Lake.
