Chapter 110 Core Formation Celebration
"The guild leader... has reached the Core Formation stage?"
[You Rou read through every word in the communication talisman repeatedly before finally realizing what it meant.]
"A true cultivator! A Golden Core cultivator at that!"
[You Rou was so stunned by the impact that it took her a while to come to her senses.]
In the Taiyuan Domain, Core Formation Realm cultivators are the truly important figures.
Even if he's just a fake Core Formation cultivator, he's enough to dominate a region.
For example, the Mysterious Turtle Immortal of Beast Taming Mountain founded Beast Taming Mountain and dominated the surrounding area for tens of thousands of miles.
[What if one were to advance further and become a Golden Core cultivator?]
[Even more remarkable]
[The opening of the immortal city has a far-reaching influence that extends for hundreds of thousands of miles.]
[It can also establish a sect or power, which can last for hundreds or even thousands of years.]
Alternatively, one could establish a large chamber of commerce, facilitating exchanges across numerous regions.
Between the great domains lies a wild and untamed region, rife with turbulent spiritual energy and numerous cultivators undergoing tribulation.
[Those who are not protected by a Golden Core cultivator are not allowed to pass.]
"I, You Rou, have never had the chance to serve a Golden Core cultivator in this lifetime..."
Yu Rou took a deep breath, her feelings a complex mix of surprise, excitement, fervor, and disbelief.
【Purple Bamboo Forest Cave】
You arrive at the cave's basement immediately.
After taking Li Yan's first strand of Yin energy, you had the puppet send her to rest in the basement of the cave.
[The basement of the Purple Bamboo Forest cave has been specially prepared by you, so even a Core Formation cultivator cannot silently probe in with their divine sense.]
Even if a real person risked a life-or-death struggle to forcibly probe the cave's underground with their divine sense, they would at most discover a few puppets and Li Yan.
As for whether or not it can be discovered that Li Yan possesses the Primordial Yin Treasure Body...
.
It's impossible to determine this simply by scanning with divine sense.
【"Owner......"
]
[Li Yan has almost fully recovered and rushed towards you as soon as she saw you.]
"Yan'er."
You gently hugged Li Yan back.
[Li Yan deserves much credit for the successful formation of this flawless golden elixir.]
Without that primordial Yin energy, you can only pin your hopes on the secret techniques of alchemy or the simulation of the initial anchor point.
[Actually, not choosing to inherit cultivation techniques after the simulation ends is also an option, but giving up at least a superior Golden Core cultivation level is a loss you are unwilling to bear.]
"Master, Yan'er misses you so much."
Li Yan nestled close to you, utterly dependent on and adoring you.
You and Li Yan snuggled together for a while.
"Now that Master is a real person, Yan'er will also work hard in her cultivation!"
[Li Yan said seriously, "The difference between the Foundation Establishment stage and the Core Formation stage is still too great."]
[You only held her gently for a moment, without emitting any aura, but the difference in the essence of life still made Li Yan's heart tremble.]
[If we just hold onto this idea, what if we take it a step further and do *that* kind of thing...?]
Li Yan's face turned red.
"If Yan'er chooses to cultivate, I will naturally give my full support."
You immediately spoke up.
Even if the first strand of primordial yin energy is taken from the Primordial Yin Body, it will continue to nurture new primordial yin energy.
[It simply doesn't possess the incredible breakthrough effect that the first primordial yin energy has on overcoming bottlenecks.]
Even so, the primordial Yin energy that follows still has a significant promoting effect on daily cultivation.
This promoting effect is related to the cultivation level of the Primordial Yin Body itself, as well as the time spent nurturing it.
[A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's Primordial Yin Body, nurtured with ten years' worth of Primordial Yin Qi, if you were to take it, would it be equivalent to a month of your arduous cultivation?]
[If someone possesses a Golden Core stage Primordial Yin Body, the primordial Yin energy cultivated for ten years is equivalent to your two or three years of arduous cultivation?]
[If it were a Nascent Soul stage cultivator with a primordial Yin body, nurtured for ten years with primordial Yin energy, and taken by a Golden Core early stage cultivator like yourself, it would likely be equivalent to decades of arduous cultivation, potentially allowing you to directly reach the peak of the early stage.]
[This kind of enhancement to one's cultivation has no hidden dangers and does not require expending any potential; it is simply the kind of Daoist partner that any male cultivator dreams of.]
Therefore, I fully support your idea of Li Yan cultivating.
The higher Li Yan's cultivation level, the greater the help she will provide. If she can also reach the Core Formation stage, your overall cultivation speed will increase by 20% to 30%.
Don't underestimate these two or three percent; with a Golden Core cultivator's lifespan of five hundred years, two or three percent amounts to one or two hundred years.
After encouraging Li Yan for a while, you returned to your cave.
"Is this what it feels like to be a cultivation genius?"
[With just a little cultivation, you'll feel a slight increase in your cultivation level. The third-tier spiritual energy within the cave, after flowing into your body and being transformed by the flawless golden core, will immediately be refined into pure golden core power.]
[If this were during the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage, even taking pills wouldn't have been this efficient.]
[Now it has become your basic cultivation speed. If you combine it with taking pills, you can reach another level.]
"A flawless golden elixir!"
[You feel invigorated]
The increase in cultivation speed is just one of the many abilities of the Flawless Golden Core.
There are actually many external methods that can be used to increase cultivation speed, and demonic cultivators are particularly adept at this.
The greatest advantage of the Flawless Golden Elixir lies in its ability to break through bottlenecks and limitations.
[Leaving aside the process from Core Formation to Nascent Soul, the early to middle stages of Core Formation, and the middle to late stages alone, have trapped countless True Immortals.]
In the Taiyuan Domain, there are indeed True Immortals who are at the lower or middle level of the Golden Core stage, and who remain at the early Golden Core stage until their death.
This is especially true from the mid-stage to the late-stage of Core Formation.
Not every Golden Core cultivator can complete the Core Formation stage and gain the opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
However, with the help of the Flawless Golden Core, there is virtually no possibility of you being trapped when facing bottlenecks from the early to mid-stages, or from the mid to late stages.
During the Foundation Establishment stage, you overcame the bottleneck by using breakthrough pills to unleash your potential.
[But now? You only need to cultivate step by step, and the flawless golden core will help you break through everything until you achieve perfect core formation.]
["Mountain and Sea Dao Body..." You have begun to comprehend this secret technique.]
After cultivating the Mountain and Sea Inheritance to the Core Formation level, one can condense the Mountain and Sea Dao Body.
The Mountain and Sea Dao Body is an acquired Dao Body, but its enhancement of the combat power of True Persons of the Mountain and Sea lineage cannot be ignored.
(The condensation of the Mountain and Sea Dao Body takes a long time, approximately ten years.)
[In addition to regular practice]
You begin to attempt to comprehend the techniques of Daoist alchemy.
[After entering the Core Formation stage, you will naturally continue to take medicine.]
This naturally requires the support of alchemical techniques.
You only grasped it for a moment.
The previously obscure and difficult-to-understand content of Daoist alchemy quickly became clear.
"Third-tier alchemy technique!"
You realize that your alchemy skills have completely reached the third level.
However, we still need to refine a batch of third-tier pills to verify this.
[Splash—]
[Immediately take out the alchemy furnace and begin refining the elixir.]
[A few days later]
Four perfectly round, third-tier pills were successfully produced.
"Not bad, not bad."
You nodded slightly.
[You found refining this third-tier pill incredibly easy and simple; the entire process was completed in one go.]
"This is probably also due to the flawless golden elixir..."
You thought to yourself.
The formation of a flawless golden elixir represents a complete reshaping of your overall aptitude and talent.
Your comprehension and other abilities have also improved accordingly.
This feedback translates into similar behavior in other areas.
"Let's take another look at the art of talismanic arts..."
You continue to comprehend the third-tier talismanic inheritance.
【"I see."】
You looked thoughtful as you took out a piece of animal hide and began drawing talismans.
[After half a day, a third-tier talisman was formed, its immense power of heaven and earth, along with your mountain and sea magic, were completely sealed within a piece of animal hide.]
[Once this animal hide talisman is activated, it can unleash a strike equivalent to that of a true human.]
"A Tier 3 Rune Master!"
A smile appeared on your face; your accumulation in the art of talismans is not as great as your accumulation in the art of alchemy.
[It was only by virtue of his superior abilities at the level of a flawless Golden Core True Person that he was able to take this step.]
"Upon entering the Golden Core stage, he already possesses two third-tier skills: Pill Refining and Talisman Refining!"
You are in a very good mood.
[Third-tier alchemists and third-tier talisman masters are extremely rare even among Core Formation cultivators, let alone those who possess both.]
Let's take a look at the others...
..」】
You have begun to comprehend the art of divination.
"Second-tier, mid-grade?"
After a brief period of contemplation, his divination skills advanced to the mid-second tier.
Having sacrificed ten years of his lifespan twice, his divination skills had already reached the peak of the second-tier lower level.
Now that they've entered the Core Formation stage, a smooth breakthrough is perfectly normal.
"Divination is good, but it requires understanding..."
Having gone through two simulations, you naturally understand the importance of divination—predicting fortune and misfortune, and avoiding danger. Although it may seem life-threatening, its importance in your heart has risen to the level of alchemy and talismanic arts.
["Should we invest several decades of our lifespan to elevate it to the upper-tier second-order?"]
You felt a little itchy, but ultimately suppressed the thought.
Using lifespan to enhance divination skills is a last resort.
[He invested decades of his lifespan to elevate his divination skills to the upper tier of the second level?]
Even without these decades of investment, decades later, with your flawless golden core comprehension, you would most likely have raised your divination skills to the second-tier upper grade.
The latter not only improves one's divination skills, but also one's personal cultivation, other skills, and precise planning for the next few decades.
"Secret Techniques for the Trial of the Netherworld..."
'
]
[Suddenly, images of tadpole-like silver seal characters appear in your mind.]
Before breaking through to the Core Formation stage, these silver seal characters will seem like celestial script to you. Forget about comprehending them; even understanding them will require an immense amount of effort.
[But now, with the Flawless Golden Elixir enhancing your comprehension, the originally obscure and difficult-to-understand silver seal script is slowly becoming simple and easy to understand.]
You have finally seen a clear hope of mastering and completing the practice.
Two months later
[Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce Base]
You casually sit on the main seat on the high platform, while You Rou and other high-ranking members of the Chamber of Commerce stand respectfully below.
"Congratulations, Guild Master, on embarking on the path to the Golden Core!"
You Rou and the others bowed to you; this was your first appearance at the Chamber of Commerce since you entered the Core Formation stage.
"How are the preparations for the Core Formation Ceremony going?"
[You asked casually]
Yu Rou immediately began reporting on information from the outside world over the past two months.
[In the past two months, the news that you have entered the Core Formation stage and become a Golden Core True Person has spread rapidly throughout the Taiyuan Domain.]
[Because you had informed Master Jianxin, Master Hanyu, and other masters in advance, the outside world wasn't too surprised that you had entered the Core Formation stage.]
After all, you have inherited the legacy of the ancient Mountain and Sea lineage, and this lineage produced a Golden Core cultivator two or three hundred years ago.
You're satisfied with this reaction?
[You should know that your background cannot withstand scrutiny.]
Before this simulation began, neither the Taiyuan Domain nor any other surrounding major domains had any record of your growth.
[If you don't actively reveal your lineage of the Mountain and Sea School, not to mention the Taiyuan Palace, the five major sects will definitely not trust you.]
One month later
[Your Core Formation Celebration is getting closer!]
"President, Master Huangwen of the Huangwen Merchant Guild wishes to pay a visit..."
[You Rou reports to you, adding, "This Huangwen Zhenren is a fake Core Formation Zhenren. Before you, President, entered the Core Formation stage, the Huangwen Chamber of Commerce repeatedly suppressed our Chamber of Commerce and seized our business routes..."]
Yu Rou's tone revealed her resentment.
At that time, the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce could only endure the domineering behavior of the Huangwen Chamber of Commerce, after all, they couldn't afford to offend a fake Core Formation cultivator.
【"I see."】
You nodded slightly, immediately understanding the situation.
"Let him in."
You waved your hand.
【soon】
A plump figure in a yellow robe walked up.
"Greetings, Master Qingyuan!"
[Huang Wenzhen immediately spoke with a smile, adopting a very humble attitude.]
【"Um."】
You glanced at Huang Wen Zhenren without saying anything.
"I've heard that the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce is a force under the command of a True Person. I inquired with my subordinates and learned that there was a misunderstanding with one of my chambers of commerce some time ago..."
[Huang Wen Zhenren immediately stated his purpose.]
It's obvious that Huang Wenzhen has come to apologize.
He's just a fake Core Formation cultivator, yet he can still act arrogantly and domineeringly when facing Foundation Establishment level forces.
But facing a Golden Core cultivator? How could Huang Wen Zhenren dare to be so defiant?
"This is compensation; I hope you will forgive and forget..."
——」】
[Huang Wen Zhenren immediately took out a storage bag, forced a smile, and presented it to you.]
[You glanced at it, then probed it with your divine sense; inside, a thousand mid-grade spirit stones were neatly arranged.]
One thousand mid-grade spirit stones are equivalent to one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.
You remained calm and silent.
Seeing this, Huang Wenzhen's lips twitched, and he took out another storage bag.
[Just like the first storage bag, it contained one thousand mid-grade spirit stones, neatly arranged inside.]
You remain silent.
Huang Wen Zhenren had no choice but to bite the bullet and take out his storage bag again.
You remain silent.
[Huang Wen Real Person Takes Again]
[Until you have ten storage bags in front of you.]
That is, 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones or 1 million low-grade spirit stones.
With a wave of your hand, you collected all the storage bags and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Huang Wen, why be so polite..."
'
]
"I'm glad the real person doesn't mind..."
[Huang Wen Zhenren's heart was bleeding. A million low-grade spirit stones would take a very long time for a fake Core Formation cultivator to earn.]
[The passage of time]
In the following months, several more fake Core Formation cultivators who had previously bullied the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce came to apologize and pay their respects.
[Your income from this alone amounts to millions of low-grade spirit stones.]
In the blink of an eye, the day of the Core Formation celebration has finally arrived.
Various forces in the Taiyuan Domain, whether sects or merchant guilds, sent representatives to offer their congratulations.
Those who have had dealings with you before, such as Hall Master Mu of the Pill Hall and Sword Heart True Person of the Golden Sword Sect, have personally come to offer their congratulations.
Even the Taiyuan Palace sent an envoy.
