Chapter 158: Spirit Core Method
Dugu Bo's reaction stunned Lin Mo.
"Senior, the question I wish to consult you about this time concerns your experience in condensing the Dan Pearl back then," Lin Mo said straightforwardly. "I would like to learn from your experience in this regard."
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Dugu Bo was dumbfounded.
The teacup in his hand stopped in midair, and his emerald eyes stared at Lin Mo for a long while before he slowly set the cup down.
"Dan Pearl?" Dugu Bo's voice carried obvious surprise. "Why would you think to ask about this?"
He truly had not expected Lin Mo to suddenly bring up the Dan Pearl.
That thing was unique to his Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit and was closely related to his path of cultivation. Ordinary Spirit Masters would never touch upon content in this area.
Lin Mo nodded, his expression serious.
"Yes. I want to understand the specific process and feelings you experienced when you condensed the Dan Pearl, Senior."
Dugu Bo was silent for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Kid, my Dan Pearl was only condensed after my Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit evolved into the Serpent Emperor," he said slowly, his tone serious. "It is no exaggeration to say that at least half of my strength lies in this pearl."
He paused, then continued, "Moreover, this path can be considered my unique cultivation path. I have lived for so many years, but I have never seen anyone else condense anything similar."
"This path is not impossible to walk, but if one were to take it, perhaps only Yanyan, whose Spirit shares the same source as mine, would have the possibility of replicating it in the future."
"Your two Spirits, whether it is Charizard or the Body Martial Soul, do not look like they are capable of condensing a Dan Pearl."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo shook his head.
"Senior, you have misunderstood," he explained. "I do not intend to condense a Dan Pearl, or anything similar to it."
"I only wish to consult your experience from when you condensed the Dan Pearl, Senior, in order to draw inferences from it and attempt a cultivation method that I have been conceiving for a long time."
He paused and slowly spat out three words.
"Spirit Core Method."
Spirit Core Method.
This was the cultivation path Lin Mo had chosen for himself, and it was also one of his advantages as a transmigrator.
He knew better than anyone in this era that the Spirit Masters of ten thousand years later had already made a qualitative leap in their cultivation methods.
And the Spirit Core was the most critical link in this.
Under conditions where cultivation base, Spirit quality, and other factors were equal, Titled Douluos from ten thousand years later far surpassed the Titled Douluos of the current era in both combat power and endurance.
The root cause lay in the emergence of the Spirit Core.
According to Lin Mo's memory, in the era of the Unrivaled Tang Sect ten thousand years later, a Spirit Master needed to condense a Spirit Core at the Rank 89 Bottleneck in order to successfully break through the Rank 90 barrier.
And in the later era of the Dragon King Legend, with the increased emphasis on mental force cultivation and the continuous improvement of cultivation methods, Spirit Masters could condense their first Spirit Core at the Spirit Saint stage.
For a Spirit Master, the two most important factors in condensing a Spirit Core were, first, the strength of their mental force, and second, the precise control of their spirit power.
Lin Mo possessed both of these.
These two points tested a Spirit Master's control ability. Otherwise, in the process of condensing a Spirit Core, once a mistake occurred, there was a high risk of the semi-finished Spirit Core exploding.
If a Spirit Core exploded, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The reason Lin Mo asked Dugu Bo for experience regarding the Dan Pearl was precisely to draw inferences from Dugu Bo's insights in this area.
In this era, if one were to ask which Spirit Master's cultivation method was most similar to the Spirit Core Method of ten thousand years later, it would only be Dugu Bo, who had condensed a Dan Pearl.
Although the Dan Pearl differed in nature from the Spirit Core, both had a certain degree of similarity and commonality.
Hearing the words "Spirit Core Method," the confusion in Dugu Bo's eyes deepened.
"Spirit Core Method?" He repeated the term, his emerald eyes narrowing slightly. "What is this? I have never heard of it."
Lin Mo pondered for a moment, organizing his thoughts.
"Senior, the Spirit itself can help a Spirit Master store an extra portion of spirit power," he said slowly. "The more powerful the Spirit, the more spirit power it can store."
"This is one of the reasons why, as a Spirit Master with twin Spirits, my total spirit power is significantly higher than that of Spirit Masters of the same rank."
Dugu Bo nodded. He naturally understood this point.
Lin Mo continued, "And the Spirit Core I speak of, its full name is spirit power core. Its concept is somewhat similar to a Spirit storing spirit power, but it takes a different path."
"Specifically, it means first highly compressing the liquid spirit power within the body, causing it to transform into a solid state."
"Then, using this solid spirit power as the core, build a spirit power vortex that can rotate on its own and autonomously absorb external spirit power to supply the Spirit Master."
"After that, further compress and stabilize this vortex. Once it is completely stable, that is the Spirit Core."
Lin Mo's voice was very calm, and every word was clearly transmitted into Dugu Bo's ears.
As Dugu Bo listened, the expression on his face gradually shifted from confusion to solemnity.
"Compressing liquid spirit power into a solid state, building a spirit power vortex..." Dugu Bo muttered in a low voice, a light flashing in his eyes.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Mo.
"Kid, your idea is quite interesting."
Based on his years of experience studying Spirits and his insight at the Titled Douluo level, Lin Mo's hypothesis was not a castle in the air. Theoretically, it had a certain degree of feasibility.
However, it could be seen from Lin Mo's description alone that this Spirit Core Method placed extremely high demands on a Spirit Master's control over their own spirit power.
If one could truly build a Spirit Core that operated autonomously and continuously absorbed external spirit power, it would provide a huge boost to a Spirit Master's cultivation speed and combat power.
Furthermore, if the Spirit Core could truly be realized, then the Spirit Master would possess a true core within their body. This would not only significantly increase the total amount of spirit power, but also bring about a qualitative leap in the recovery speed and purity of spirit power.
This was simply carving out a new path beyond the existing spirit power cultivation system.
The more Dugu Bo thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. He slammed the table.
"Good kid!"
His voice carried undisguised excitement.
"If this Spirit Core Method is truly feasible, then you will be a Grandmaster who has pioneered a new system of Spirit Master cultivation!"
"Those so-called Grandmasters who spend their days peddling specious theories are simply reputation seekers compared to your solid new cultivation path."
After the excitement, there was a bit more curiosity in the way Dugu Bo looked at Lin Mo.
"However, I am quite curious," he asked. "How did that brain of yours come up with this method? This is not something that can be figured out just by relying on talent."
Lin Mo had long expected this question.
His expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles."
"Senior, I spent a long time soaking in the library of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. When I was in elementary and intermediate academy, the place I stayed most often was also the library."
"Many Spirit Masters recorded their own cultivation experiences into volumes and placed them there. I have seen conjectures in this area inside them."
"Although most were incomplete, and some were even just fragments of words, they were enough for me."
Lin Mo's tone was very natural.
"I just stood on the shoulders of predecessors, combined it with my own cultivation experience, drew inferences, and carried out some deductions and integrations."
"However, an idea is just an idea in the end. Whether this Spirit Core Method can truly succeed depends on the results of specific experiments."
"Therefore, I wanted to ask for your experience in condensing the Dan Pearl, Senior. Your successful experience might help me avoid many detours and avoid some possible risks."
After listening, Dugu Bo slowly nodded.
Lin Mo's explanation was reasonable.
"So that's how it is." Dugu Bo rubbed his chin. "Standing on the shoulders of giants, that is well said."
He looked at Lin Mo, a look of appreciation flashing in his emerald eyes.
Not arrogant or impatient, possessing both unconstrained ideas and a down-to-earth attitude.
This kid's future achievements would likely be truly limitless. The more he looked at Lin Mo, the more pleasing he found him.
"Regarding the Dan Pearl..."
Dugu Bo's expression turned serious as he began to enter the main topic.
"When I condensed it back then, the situation was indeed rather special."
