The Five Elements Evil Qi had another use.
It could help a cultivator increase their success rate when attempting to form their Core.
For the Lord of the Immortal Palace who left behind this Cultivation Technique, the Evil Qi's various effects were likely the most important aspect.
But for Xiao Chen, this secondary benefit was the part he valued more.
Due to his low-grade Wood Spirit Root, if he tried to form his Core directly, he would have a mere five percent chance of success at best.
Failure to form a Core came with severe consequences. At best, he would suffer a great loss of Vitality and his Realm would regress, requiring years or even decades to recover. At worst, he would die on the spot, his very existence erased. The consequences were nothing short of terrifying.
Each strand of Five Elements Evil Qi a cultivator obtained could increase their Core Formation success rate by ten percent.
