Chapter 1863: Chapter 919: Copper Skin Iron Bone Mo Hua spread out several Tao Cultivation Canons related to own Magical Treasure, researching as he found a blank Jade Slip to meticulously sort through from the beginning: The so-called own Magical Treasure refers to a treasure that is cultivated with the life of the Cultivator and is closely related to the inheritance of Taoist Skill. Only by forging an own Magical Treasure can one form a Core. After forming a Core, driving the own Magical Treasure can also unleash greater power than ordinary Spiritual Artifacts. Each Cultivator’s own Magical Treasure is unique and exclusive, and only they themselves can use it. Moreover, not only at the Golden Core Realm, but in Feather Transformation, and even in future Heaven Void, the own Magical Treasure will grow stronger as the Cultivator’s cultivation improves. This treasure will accompany the Cultivator for a very long time. Therefore, choosing a compatible own Magical Treasure is extremely important. It’s even more accurate to say that it becomes a part of the Cultivator’s physical body than just being a treasure. In the orthodox Tao cultivation inheritance, the Golden Core Realm’s own Magical Treasure is still separate from the Cultivator, the Cultivator is the Cultivator, the Treasure is the Treasure. But once one reaches Feather Transformation, the Treasure can begin to be absorbed into the body, thereby truly achieving the unity of man and treasure. Of course, there are also those at the Golden Core Realm who have already integrated the Treasure into themselves. Take for example the Fire Buddha, who placed two Fire-series Magic Treasure Embryos in his chest to replace his heart and sought the basis for Core Formation through this. But this method is considered a "Forbidden Technique," and in some sense, the Fire Buddha was forced into it. Mo Hua remembers this grievance: The Fire Buddha was rampant back in the day and was nearly slain by Uncle Gu, with his heart’s meridians damaged and life hanging by a thread. This forced him to take a desperate gamble by using such an extreme "Core Formation" method, nurturing those two "Flaming Hearts" as his own Magical Treasure. It was a last resort, and if not so, he might not have dared to play like this. After all, tampering with one’s own heart and embedding a Treasure is life-threatening if not done carefully. "Embedding a treasure to replace the heart..." Mo Hua shook his head; it’s too extreme, too frightening, not something he could handle... He lowered his head and continued flipping through the canons. According to Elder Master Xun’s guidance, the first choice for his own Magical Treasure should be a treasure that can replenish "Spiritual Power." Spiritual Power is fundamental to a Cultivator. All powerful Taoist Skills, without exception, require the consumption of vast amounts of Spiritual Power. In a situation where cultivation hasn’t reached a crushing level, tactics are not devious enough, and considerations are not thorough enough, a direct confrontation between Cultivators is generally about contesting Spiritual Power. Whoever has more Spiritual Power, whoever can withstand the consumption, and whoever can fight till the end will win and survive the deadly battle. Especially for Spiritual Cultivators, the quantity of Spiritual Power is crucial. Mo Hua’s low Spiritual Power has always been one of his biggest weaknesses, second only to his physical body. Therefore, being able to use own Magical Treasure to make up for Spiritual Power is the optimal choice. "Spiritual Power type treasures..." Mo Hua leafed through the canons and finally found a few treasures with long-standing legacies and stable inheritance in the Cultivation World’s "Comprehensive Guide to Cultivator’s Treasures": "Jade Spirit Gourd, White Jade Pure Bottle, Spiritual Box, Spirit Gathering Hairpin..." Artifacts like gourds, bottles, and boxes, once refined, can store one’s own Spiritual Power. Since they are own Magical Treasures, cultivated with one’s life, they store one’s own Spiritual Power, making them instantly usable for immediate Spiritual Power replenishment without the need to spend time refining like Spirit Stones or Spirit Gathering Pills, essentially serving as an external "Qi Sea." In a life-and-death battle where every moment counts, this bears significant meaning. This is precisely why this kind of treasure has an extremely scarce inheritance, with the methods often hidden within Great Sects or Great Families. Moreover, the cost is exceptionally high, much more expensive than a typical family disciple’s treasure. Only the true heirlooms of sects’ Direct Lineage and the Heavenly Pride of fifth-grade or higher family Direct Lineage are qualified to cultivate this kind of treasure. Besides, the biggest issue, like other top-grade treasures, is the need for early nurturing. In fact, it’s even more extreme, requiring nurturing starting from the age of three. Because this type of Spirit Gathering Treasure is equivalent to another "Qi Sea," the compatibility between the treasure and the Cultivator requires more stringent criteria. If not nurtured from a young age, the higher rejection ratio between the treasure and the Cultivator makes successful nurturing difficult. Even if nurturing is successful, the quality will not be high, and the stored Spiritual Power Cycle will be greatly discounted. This is the biggest crux of the issue. Mo Hua has long missed the nurturing timing, even more so than with other treasures. Three years old... Unless born with a silver spoon, with elders in the Feather Transformation or Heaven Void stage, who would think to nurture such a thing from the age of three to prepare for Core Formation... It’s simply too extravagant. If still forced to nurture, one would have no choice but to accept insufficient nurturing ’Fire Control,’ high rejection with oneself, sparse Spiritual Power storage, and various other unforeseen side effects. Without a Vajra, do not take on porcelain work. Without this fate, one is simply unworthy of nurturing this kind of treasure. Mo Hua shook his head and continued to flip through the pages. Spiritual Power type is not feasible, so let’s look at the physical body type. Physical body type treasures have two directions: one is for protecting the body, and the other is for strengthening the physical body. The ones that protect the body are treasures generally nurtured by Body Cultivators, such as Armor, Spirit Tool Heart Protecting Mirror, Golden Bell Shield, Iron Cloth Shirt, and so on. These are all advanced versions of "Spiritual Artifacts" that can allow Body Cultivators to protect their bodies or safeguard crucial life points. This way, Body Cultivators can fight more valiantly in close combat. Of course, if one were to nurture such a treasure, it wouldn’t be for slaughtering but purely for "preserving life." Consider it a last-resort measure. In situations of stealthy attacks, in the nick of time, when life hangs by a thread, or in an inescapable killing game, it can block a fatal blow at a critical moment, barely clinging to life.
