บท 136: Qi Condensing Plate
The moment Iris had entered her room, which was located right across from Ronald's room, she immediately flipped her duffle bag upside down, which caused the Imperial Glass Jade, 8 oval-shaped black rocks, a bright yellow crystal, and the bloodfire ruby to fall all out of the bag.
After that, Iris sat cross-legged close to all of the rocks and closed her eyes.
The imperial glass jade that was infront of her then started to float in the air and the very dim glow that the jade had originally posessed instantly grew bigger and brighter as energy errupted from within the jade.
A few seconds later, the imperial glass jade slowly started to transform into an octagon-shaped plate with a circle-shaped cutout in the middle of it, and the erruption immediately stopped.
Iris wasn't done with constructing the plate just yet though, as after taking a deep breath, she began muttering some ancient sounding words.
This incantation formed a few golden symbols and chains up onto the air, which the symbols and chains then drifted straight into the plate.
For the first minute or so afterwards, there were countless glowing symbols and lines of light floating up and off of the plate, seemingly trying to escape from the plate.
Eventually though, all of those lights faded away and disappeared from sight, and the golden symbols and chains that Iris had chanted up into the air surfaced onto each side of the octagon-shaped imperial jade plate.
This was when Iris finally opened her eyes back up and took the bright yellow crystal, which was actually called a Longxiu crystal due to it being harvested from the depths of the Longxiu lake at the capital city, and placed it at the circle-shaped cutout in the center of the jade plate.
The glow of the Longxiu crystal then became slightly dimmer as the symbols on the jade plate started to grow brightly with the Longxiu crystal.
Seeing as how she was now finally finished with the construction process of the octagon-shaped imperial jade plate, which was more commonly known as a Qi Condensing Plate, she activated the jade plate.
Every qi from a few miles away then all slowly gathered towards the Qi Condensing Plate and stayed there for about 30 minutes before dispersing back out into their respective locations.
Now, getting the qi to stay at the plate for 30 minutes was an extraordinary feat in itself, especially since most Qi Condensing Plates made by cultivators today can't even contain the qi for more than 5 seconds, however, if she wanted to get stronger much quicker, than 30 minutes simply wasn't going to cut it for her.
This is where the 8 oval-shaped black rocks, also known as black moonstones according to today's society, comes into play.
Similar to a spirit stone, which are crystallized versions of Qi and can be harvested to obtain the Qi in them, the black moonstones are also crystallized versions of Qi.
The only difference with them however, is that since a bunch of impurities also mixed in during their crystallization phase, black moonstones almost look completely black, are much denser, and can't be harvested.
As such, black moonstones are completely useless and only serve as an ornamental...
Or at least that's what every cultivators that's knowledgeable about spirit stones believes.
The actuality of it is that the qi in these black moonstones can actually be used in ancient incantations, such as the one she had used 30 minutes prior, and amplify their power even further.
And considering that she hasn't even once read about it anywhere in her past life that black moonstones can be used in this manner, she was almost undoubtedly positive that she was the only one in the entire world that knew about this.
So Iris crushed each black moonstones with her bear hands one by one until they were completely reduced to powder, and then sprinkled them onto the Qi Condensing Plates, which upon contact, made the black powders disappear.
And although it seemed as though nothing had changed after Iris had sprinkled in the black moonstones, she knew that the duration of the Qi Condensing Plates increased from 30 minutes to over a month.
With that in mind, Iris closed her eyes and began to cultivate.
