If you still haven't condensed your core, when will you?

Chapter 152 If you still haven't condensed your core, when will you?
To develop a combat strategy that better suited him, he first organized all the magical artifacts, ancient treasures, and secret techniques he possessed.

He no longer uses magical artifacts such as the crescent-shaped scimitar.

The Azure Condensation Mirror, the Golden Back Cloud Armor, and the Cloud-Stepping Boots are all top-tier magical artifacts, but only the Cloud-Stepping Boots are still worn on the user's feet.

[Magic Treasures] There are more than ten items, including the Green Radiance Sword, the Water and Fire Gourd, the Buddhist Vajra Pestle, the Small Shield, the Javelin, and the Demon Fire Bead.

There were also vases and bronze tripods left behind by demon cultivators who had transformed into human form.

Among them, the Water-Fire Gourd can be sized at will and can carry and assist in compressing a large amount of spiritual energy from the spiritual veins, which is why it is used only occasionally.

The small shield, a magical artifact belonging to the Jin Cult Leader, is a high-level magical artifact. Having been nurtured by that person for over two hundred years, it is barely usable.

The two human magical treasures left behind by the demon cultivator in human form may have been quite good at first, but unfortunately, they weren't properly preserved. They lost hundreds of years of spiritual energy in the underground cave, and their remaining power wasn't much stronger than ordinary magical treasures. Even after he nurtured them for decades while in seclusion at the Biling Island mines, he couldn't restore their lost spiritual energy. They were even inferior to the small shield of the Golden Sect Master.

The most powerful weapon must be the Buddhist vajra.

Unfortunately, the Vajra Pestle requires Buddhist techniques to activate.

Qu Hun unleashed his Buddhist power at the peak of the late Core Formation stage, and his charged attack was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

But that was all there was to it.

In a true Nascent Soul stage battlefield, they are simply not enough.

As for the other magical treasures, they are even more useless.

"So many magical treasures, though they look dazzling, are actually only fit to be fed to the Gold-Eating Insects."

[Extraordinary Treasures] include several forbidden treasure chests, such as the Forbidden Land Golden Token, the Great Teleportation Token, and the Forbidden Land Golden Chest. There are also a bracelet made of 109 Buddhist beads, a fire-resistant robe, a concealment bracelet, and fragments of a silk handkerchief magic item.

Touching the fragment of the silk handkerchief magic weapon, Han Li was deeply moved.

"You've been with me for so long, you must be tired from the journey."

The fragment of the silk handkerchief magic weapon has accompanied him for over a hundred years, from the Qi Refining stage to his current Nascent Soul stage.

He cooperated with Fu Bao on many occasions to help him achieve success.

Help him outmaneuver his opponent.

And even today, it still possesses considerable value.

This fragment of silk handkerchief could help him conceal a bulging, high-grade storage bag. This not only greatly reduced his troubles but also provided him with another avenue for ambushing and plotting against others.

"Alas, it's not that I, Han, don't want to be fair and square, it's just that my strength doesn't allow it..."

Han Li smacked his lips and muttered to himself.

He always felt that, without a natal magic weapon, he was among the worst of all Nascent Soul cultivators.

Regarding rare treasures, there is also a concealment bracelet that can evade detection by divine sense from those below the Nascent Soul stage.

There is a fire-resistant robe, which is equipment used by the Qingyang Sect's Core Formation stage cultivators in conjunction with the magic weapon, the Demonic Fire Bead.

However, he doesn't value or need it now.

That string of Buddhist prayer beads is a deadly weapon!
It is also the most life-saving tool!
When a soul practicing Buddhist techniques pours its spiritual power into the Buddhist relic beads and activates them, it can form a protective aura like a golden sun.

With the combined power of the multiple relics, it's no problem to block an attack from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

For example, the continuous wind blades he unleashed were easily neutralized by the radiance emitted by the Buddhist relic beads.

Even the third layer of the Wind Blade Formation of the Lieque Crescent Moon Slash couldn't break through the light of the relic.

The [talisman] Qiankun Tower had accompanied him in battles for a long time.

Now that its brilliance has faded, it feels like it can only be used one or two more times before it reaches its limit.

Furthermore, while this talisman is quite good for the Core Formation stage, it is ultimately only a talisman possessing some of the power of a magic weapon and is not suitable for use in battles at the Nascent Soul stage. It would be more appropriate to use a genuine Qiankun Tower magic weapon instead.

[Ancient Treasure] Gold Brick.

Among the spoils of war, there are ordinary ancient treasures, including powerful flying bricks that can break through magic with force.

For him, it was just so-so, better than nothing.

Antique wind pattern ring.

As a treasure left to his successor by the master of the forbidden land, how could it be just an ordinary item?

In the hands of cultivators at all stages other than those with wind spirit roots, this ring is nothing more than a high-level ancient treasure.

Even at the late stage of Core Formation, one cannot unleash the same attack power as a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even if Han Li forcibly activated it with several times the power of a Nascent Soul level cultivator, he could only unleash power slightly inferior to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, if wielded by a high-level cultivator with a wind spirit root, the power displayed by this ancient treasure ring would be entirely different. A wind spirit at the peak of the late Core Formation stage once activated it with all its might, and the arrows of spiritual energy it shot out gave both its physical body and its spirit a chilling feeling.

That's definitely not the level that an ordinary high-level ancient treasure should have.

at this time.

With his early Nascent Soul cultivation level, he controlled the Wind Pattern Ring and clearly felt that the power of his casual strike had increased several times over.

"Good baby."

"I thought the limit of this ancient treasure ring was to unleash an attack comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator. I never expected that its maximum power could actually increase significantly as Feng Hun's cultivation level improves?"

"This power is almost comparable to those top-tier ancient treasures!"

This is an unexpected surprise!

In terms of the value of top-tier ancient treasures, they are high-end items that even the top Yuanhou cultivators of the Great Jin Dynasty cherish.

The ultimate antique treasure, surpassing even the finest antique treasures: the Brocade Kasaya.

The treasured heirloom of the Leiyin Sect, one of the four major sects of Buddhism in the Great Jin Dynasty.

Lost in the ancient demonic calamity, it was preserved by the Lord of the Forbidden Land.

Using the Buddhist power of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, blocking several attacks from early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators is not difficult. If it were powered by Buddhist cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage, the defensive power would undoubtedly be even stronger, perhaps even able to block attacks from mid-stage or late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators?
Top-quality ancient treasures can, to some extent, rival even slightly inferior imitations of spiritual treasures.

For example, the Heavenly Divine Sword.

In terms of controlling demons, it is no less effective than imitations of magical artifacts.

"The brocade cassock, the vajra, and the prayer beads should be entrusted to Qu Hun to activate."

Han Li pondered for a moment before thinking to himself.

The three treasures controlled by Qu Hun all belong to the Nascent Soul level.

When it was controlled by someone at the Nascent Soul stage, it lost its Nascent Soul level power.

thus.

He decisively separated two primordial spirits, which respectively returned to his main body and Qu Hun's body, allowing his main body and Qu Hun to reopen their eyes.

"Huh? That's strange. I clearly only separated the Core Formation level primordial spirit from my physical body and Qu Hun, so why does it feel like this small tuft of primordial spirit within Qu Hun is much more sensitive than before?"

Not only did the slight sluggishness of controlling a high-level puppet disappear, but it also became much easier and more skillful.

"Is this the tempering and transformation that the Nascent Soul formation process brings to the primordial spirit and divine consciousness?"

Before he formed his Nascent Soul, his spiritual sense was indeed very strong, almost comparable to that of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

But that state is not healthy.

It's like a seven or eight-year-old child wielding a sledgehammer or a cleaver.

After the Nascent Soul stage, things are different.

After being tempered and refined during the formation of the infant, the primordial spirit and divine consciousness not only increased several times over, but also exceeded two hundred miles, reaching a level of nearly three hundred miles.

The key point is that the divine sense has become more refined.

It's similar to the difference between a ton of tofu and a ton of steel.

Of course.

The qualitative difference is certainly not exaggerated to that extent.

This is just an analogy.

...

In terms of attack, he possesses the Ancient Treasure Wind Pattern Ring.

It possesses a wind-attribute secret technique passed down by the Lord of the Forbidden Land.

The soul of the melody, manifested externally, activates Buddhist magic treasures for assistance.

In terms of defense, there are also forbidden secret techniques, Buddhist brocade robes, and relic bracelets.

The escape technique he practiced was a wind escape secret technique that had been lost in the southern region.

His body tempering has also begun to show results, making him significantly stronger than ordinary cultivators.

In addition, his mana reserves and spiritual strength far surpass those of others of the same level.

"Actually, I might not be the weakest Nascent Soul stage cultivator?"

Han Li touched his chin and suddenly became a little uncertain.

After all, he really has very few weaknesses.

It has many strengths.

Even if we don't call him a perfect all-rounder, he has no obvious weaknesses in at least four aspects: [mana], [defense], [escape techniques], and [divine sense].

In terms of magical power.

"When I was still only at the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages, I used this method, supplemented by the pure spiritual energy from the top-grade spiritual veins of Biling Island and many high-grade spirit stones mined from the spirit mines, to complete the cultivation of this secret technique. This made the upper limit of the mana and true essence of this body more than twice that of other cultivators of the same level."

The quality of their magical power must also be significantly higher than that of other cultivators of the same level.

This is one of his major advantages now.

"Unfortunately, the Spirit Burning Meridian Opening Technique has temporarily lost its meaning for me. Unless I find a lot of top-grade spirit stones, there is no need to continue cultivating it."

As long as there are enough top-grade spirit stones or refined energy, even if he is in the mid-to-late Nascent Soul stage or even the Deity Transformation stage, he can ensure that the reserves of mana and true essence in his body are more than twice that of cultivators of the same level, and ensure that the purity of mana and true essence in his body is far superior to that of cultivators of the same level.

"Unfortunately, I don't have many high-grade spirit stones."

Han Li secretly felt regretful.

The top-grade wood-attribute spirit stone in his hand was prepared for his main body to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage or even the Divine Transformation stage.

It is not suitable for someone with a wind-elemental body to use.

And the required quantity is not just one or two, but at least a dozen or twenty.

The quantity is far from enough.

"And then there's the defense aspect..."

"I have cultivated the 'Wind Tempering Body Technique,' which allows me to use various winds in nature to temper my body. After mastering the second level of the technique, I made the strength of this wind spirit root body comparable to that of a level three demon beast."

"By tempering his body against the fierce winds of the hurricane desert, he should be able to make rapid progress in the coming years..."

The vast desert on the edge of the far west is the best environment for cultivation.

"I believe that in a few years, I will be able to raise the strength of this physical body to the level of a fourth-level demon beast, thanks to the compatibility of the wind spirit root and the matching cultivation technique."

The body's natural defenses are at this level.

The Buddhist prayer beads, the brocade cassock, and the high-level magic shield left behind by the Grand Master Jin, especially the former two, are all excellent equipment and items.

In terms of escape techniques.

The "Nine Heavens Gale Escape" technique allows him to merge with the high-altitude gale force, unleashing an escape technique far surpassing that of cultivators of the same level.

"This escape technique requires the collection of the Nine Heavens Gale Wind for cultivation."

"In other places, collecting the Nine Heavens Gale might cause some unnecessary trouble. But in the far west..."

This place is a place for cultivating high-altitude wind energy, and it won't attract anyone's attention.

It won't bother him.

"If I master the second level, I will be able to travel to any place in this vast world."

Even if you can't defeat a powerful enemy, you can always escape, right?

Cultivation takes far greater priority than the body-tempering methods of wind and energy.

In addition, he didn't need to rush things when it came to body tempering.

After all, his fighting style wasn't like Barbarian Beard's close-quarters combat.

Physical strength is less important than a strong spirit and fast escape techniques.

His current spiritual awareness is truly far superior to that of others of the same level.

Thanks to the formation of the Core Formation in his three external avatars, and the resources invested that enabled two of them to cultivate to the peak of the late Core Formation stage, the separated primordial spirit and divine consciousness were nourished and strengthened to varying degrees during this process. Furthermore, before forming the Nascent Soul stage, they were completely merged with the main primordial spirit, thus completing the Nascent Soul stage in a more powerful and complete form. Having undergone the tempering and baptism of the Nascent Soul stage, he underwent a qualitative transformation.

Even in this situation, though he managed to allocate a small portion of his power to control the Soul and his main body, his main spirit was still significantly stronger and his main consciousness more refined than when the original body first formed its Nascent Soul.

"It's a pity that I didn't cultivate more external avatars beforehand, otherwise, my divine sense would definitely be even stronger."

In short.

Overall, he is still somewhat lacking in attack and physical strength.

Once he refines a suitable natal magic weapon, and nurtures it with infant fire for a hundred or two hundred years, while also increasing his physical strength and resilience, he will become an undisputed all-around warrior.

In this mortal realm, unless a Nascent Soul cultivator emerges or is besieged by multiple late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, he is a rather difficult stone to crack.

The kind that's both smelly and hard.

...

The land of the far west.

Deep in the hurricane desert.

Han Li flew over ten thousand feet into the sky above the desert to collect the Nine Heavens Gale.

Ten thousand zhang, which is a distance of over a hundred li above the ground, is also the altitude at which Core Formation cultivators usually fly.

Normally, this place hasn't reached the very bottom of the Nine Heavens Gale Layer, so it's impossible to collect the Nine Heavens Gale Winds. In ordinary places, the very bottom of the Nine Heavens Gale Layer would be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of feet above the ground, thousands of miles above the ground.

However, due to the hurricane desert, the bottom of the Nine Heavens Gale Layer descended to this area.

In this area, high-level cultivators can collect the Nine Heavens Gale Wind from the lowest level.

The purpose of collecting the Nine Heavens Gale Wind is naturally to obtain the Wind Escape Technique passed down in the forbidden area.

The first level of the Nine Heavens Gale Wind Escape technique can be practiced by Core Formation cultivators. Cultivators with wind spirit roots will find it twice as effective and will be much more adept at using escape techniques. According to the technique, Core Formation cultivators can achieve escape speeds that rival those of Nascent Soul cultivators with just the initial stage of Wind Escape.

The second level can be cultivated at the Nascent Soul stage. If one masters it at the early Nascent Soul stage, one can surpass the speed of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and leave even the most powerful late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the dust. Only the back view of the cultivator during the Wind Escape technique can be seen.

He is currently only cultivating the first level.

"This hurricane desert is indeed powerful. Even someone like me, at the Nascent Soul stage, cannot stay in the air for ten days."

"In just over a month, I have to travel between the sky and the land three times."

He then descended back to the ground.

And that is what makes the Hurricane Desert special.

The desert hurricanes sweeping across this vast desert are not only unfriendly to Core Formation cultivators, but also to Nascent Soul stage monsters.

If he didn't possess the wind spirit root constitution, he wouldn't have had such a high natural affinity for various wind-based abilities. After forming his Nascent Soul, this affinity was greatly enhanced. In addition, he had mastered the first level of the Nine Heavens Gale Wind Escape technique; otherwise, he wouldn't even have been able to stay in the air for ten days at a height of ten thousand feet.

Moreover, the increased difficulty of cultivation comes not only from the hurricane desert, but also from the Nine Heavens Gale Layer hanging down here.

The fierce winds above the hurricane desert, due to their interaction with the desert's own winds, have become significantly more violent, unlike the gentler fierce winds elsewhere.

Of course.

Although the difficulty of cultivation has increased, it is not without its benefits.

And so, no one would disturb him. After all, not a single bird could be seen in the vast desert, let alone a high-level cultivator. Furthermore, while the wisps of Nine Heavens Gale Wind he collected high above the Hurricane Desert were indeed more domineering, they brought unexpected gains when used to cultivate the Nine Heavens Gale Wind Escape Technique. For example, the wind escape technique he mastered was three times more effective than described in the manual. Also, using the wind escape technique consumed less mana. Currently, if he were to enhance his normal escape technique with the wind gale, his flight speed would increase by more than forty percent.

This kind of escape technique must be superior to ordinary Nascent Soul stage escape techniques, right?
"At this rate, we should be able to perfect the first level in about five years, and then begin cultivating the second level..."

The first level of cultivation is relatively quick.

Reaching the second level and achieving perfect mastery of the escape technique to reach its optimal effect is no easy feat. It would likely require twenty to thirty years of arduous cultivation.

He didn't have much time before entering the Void Heaven Palace.

Fortunately.

Achieving perfection in the first level is barely enough.

During his cultivation of the Nine Heavens Gale Wind Escape technique in this place, he also tried to collect the special gale force of this place and use the "Gale Force Soul Refining Technique" to guide and refine the wind attribute nascent soul, enhance the strength of the nascent soul, and temper the primordial spirit and divine sense.

The raging winds in the Hurricane Desert are fine for tempering the body, but not for tempering the Nascent Soul.

The main problem is that it's too unstable.

However, the golden wind of "Qianjin Valley" in Yuanwu Kingdom is said to be very suitable for refining the nascent soul.

"I might give it a try later."

The stronger one's spiritual awareness, the more benefits one receives.

Also.

He hadn't forgotten to practice his attack technique: "The Crescent Moon".

He achieved perfection on Biling Island in the first two levels.

Although he only achieved minor success on Biling Island, he completed his cultivation several years after returning to Tiannan.

Now, as long as he can refine it to the fourth level, he will be able to create a spatial rift.

For someone with the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage, this was not impossible. Moreover, the desert hurricane that could twist the void and lower the Nine Heavens Gale Layer was an excellent reference.

...

The land of the far west.

Time flies, and more than a year has passed.

During this period, he not only consolidated his cultivation at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage, but also studied and mastered several wind-attribute inherited secret techniques from the forbidden area. He also clarified his strengths, summarized his specialties and characteristics, and reshaped his fighting style accordingly.

A typical speed-type cultivator with medium attack, high defense, high burst damage, and low health regeneration.

They are not suited for direct confrontations; they are better suited for sneaking around and launching surprise attacks.

Only with a tank in front can your strength be fully displayed.

It belongs to the category of Qiong Laoguai, which has been greatly enhanced in many aspects.

However, it lacked some secrecy in its execution.

Also.

He determined that the winds of the Hurricane Desert were not suitable for cultivating the Wind Soul Refining Technique.

The winds here are extremely violent and unstable. Using them to cultivate secret techniques will not only fail to strengthen the nascent soul or enhance divine sense, but will also have the opposite effect.

"I have successfully completed the Nascent Soul stage, so there is little point in staying in the far west any longer."

"Continuously using the wind energy of the Hurricane Desert to temper the body only slowly increases the strength of the physical body. But this will not be of much help for the upcoming trip to the Void Heaven Palace."

"I need to return to the heart of Tiannan and try out the golden wind there in Qianjin Valley to see if it can help refine my nascent soul and strengthen my primordial spirit and divine sense."

In the absence of subsequent cultivation methods for the Great Evolution Technique, the wind attribute inheritance from the Crimson Forbidden Land is an excellent choice to further enhance one's divine sense.

Just as Han Li was preparing to summon the twenty-odd mid-level members of the Thousand Bamboo Sect headquarters to explain some things to them, an unusual change suddenly occurred in one of the secluded meditation chambers within the headquarters, which was equipped with a spirit-gathering array and a spirit-binding array.

Above the sealed room, a funnel-shaped vortex of spiritual energy gradually took shape.

A vast amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth within a radius of tens of miles began to converge in this direction.

The sky suddenly became overcast.

Dark clouds loomed overhead, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

"This is... a Core Formation celestial phenomenon? Someone is about to form their Core?"

The cultivators at the Thousand Bamboo Sect headquarters exclaimed in surprise.

Upon seeing this, Han Li was taken aback for a moment, but then immediately understood.

"There are indeed a few juniors at the Pseudo-Core Formation stage who should try to form their Core."

The sect originally had many late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, six of whom had reached the Pseudo-Core Formation realm.

These six people have always had the potential to take a gamble.

Previously, the group hesitated to take risks entirely because of the behind-the-scenes manipulations of the Golden Cult Leader. Even if they managed to form their cores by sheer luck, they would still be affected by the restrictions the Golden Cult Leader had left within them, leaving them with little power to resist the Great Cult Leader.

Various unexpected events may occur.

Escape is not an option.

Because the Dharma Protectors and Hall Masters in the mid-to-late stages of Foundation Establishment are not allowed to leave the far west without the permission of the Golden Sect Leader. Once they stray far from a certain area, the restrictions within their bodies will activate, resulting in a terrible death, a death with their eyes wide open in disbelief.

This is why, back then, the Thousand Bamboo Sect cultivators who captured Young Master Lin, who was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, only included one mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, Huang Long, and six early-Foundation Establishment cultivators; no late-Foundation Establishment cultivators were assigned to the task.

The leader of the Jin Cult does not trust any of the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators within the cult who possess high cultivation levels.

The concern is that these people might flee abroad, achieve the Golden Core stage, and then return.

That great leader did not expect the Thousand Bamboo Sect to become strong and powerful; he only hoped that there would be no voices opposing him within the sect while he was in power.

now.

That mountain is gone.

Why are you still hesitant to be bold and diligent?
Moreover, the new leader not only provided them with aids for Core Formation such as Heavenly Fire Liquid, Snow Spirit Water, and Dust-Reducing Pills, but also oversaw the main altar, protecting and supporting them.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"A very nice celestial phenomenon, but... it just feels a little off."

It's not that the main altar lacks the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

It's not that the person lacks depth or experience.

Rather, those who have reached the Core Formation stage are too old, with little lifespan remaining. Their physical bodies are already decaying, declining rapidly, and it could even be said that they only have a few years left to live.

"pity."

As Han Li said, those who attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage have already begun to condense their Golden Core, but it dissipates before it is fully formed.

The failure to condense the elixir caused a reversal of the flow of magical power and true essence, resulting in damage to the meridians, cracks in the foundation, and a severe loss of vital energy.

Lifespan is also shortened as a result.

"I am unwilling, I am unwilling..."

Inside the secluded chamber, the old man roared to the sky, his face filled with resentment.

If he hadn't been delayed by Master Jin for twenty or thirty years, how could he have failed to condense the elixir due to the decline of his body?

After this person failed, the extraordinary phenomenon of forming the Golden Core quickly dissipated.

However, immediately following this person, a new round of celestial phenomena of condensing elixir occurred in the adjacent secret chamber.

The person next door is more than ten years younger than the old man from before.

Although they are only a dozen years younger, their physical condition is vastly different.

The reason this person chose to achieve Core Formation after the old man's failure was actually a calculated move, a result of careful planning.

Perhaps they're just waiting for the old man to fail in his Core Formation?
After all, such a phenomenon of spiritual energy gathering is rare and hard to come by!

This is not something that can be accomplished simply by the will of a high-level cultivator; it requires the intervention of a Nascent Soul cultivator to achieve it easily. Furthermore, only during the condensation of the Core Formation and the formation of the Infant Stage can a Nascent Soul cultivator gather the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) to achieve this effect.

"Look, the Core Formation celestial phenomenon is here again!"

"Huh? Why did this person choose this time to form their core?"

"Nonsense, of course we'd take advantage of the person who got there first..."

The old man had previously attempted to form a core, and although he failed, he had gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of dozens of miles.

In a short time, the surrounding spiritual energy will not dissipate. Therefore, if he tries to form his core immediately, he can save a lot of the effort required to gather the surrounding spiritual energy.

If one conserves energy in this area when forming the elixir, the surplus energy can be used in other areas.

This helps the nascent elixir to condense into a true golden elixir.

"Damn it, damn it..."

Inside the first secluded cultivation cave, the old man who had failed to break through to the Core Formation stage closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

How could he not understand his fellow disciple's thoughts?

But the more I understand, the more painful it becomes.

The junior brother next door clearly achieved the Core Formation stage by stepping on his corpse.

Half a month later, the old man resigned himself to his fate and, with many regrets, chose to pass away peacefully, leaving everything he had lived to his direct descendants.

At the same time, another elderly man with a slightly younger face emerged from the secluded cultivation chamber, paid homage to his senior brother, and then paid his respects to the increasingly unfathomable Han Li.

originally.

This person thought he had reached the Core Formation stage and was a cultivator of the same level as the newly appointed Sect Leader Han.

You can gain some respect, more or less.

But when he actually formed his core, he was horrified to discover how naive his ideas had been.

"Your subordinate Fang Zheng pays respects to the leader, wishing the leader boundless happiness and longevity like the Thousand Bamboo Mountain."

The old man bowed deeply, hoping that the person above would accept his kneeling.

Oh my god.

This aura is definitely not something a Core Formation stage cultivator should have.

So our sect leader was actually a Nascent Soul stage monster?

"Gulu..."

Fortunately, he didn't get carried away or become arrogant.

Inside the main hall, seated at the head of the table, Han Li, whose appearance had been restored to its original form, glanced indifferently at the old man before nodding slightly.

"How is your cultivation level being consolidated?"

"Master, I have stabilized my golden core. Thank you for protecting me these past few days." Fang Zheng's face was full of smiles.

"Alright, get up. I have no intention of protecting you. You just had a good time and it's your own luck."

Han Li waved his hand and laughed it off.

Just as he was about to give some instructions, another phenomenon of Core Formation occurred at the headquarters of the Thousand Bamboo Sect.

The person who achieved the Core Formation this time was between the age of the old man who had passed away and the old man in front of him.

They also belong to the elderly population.

"Why is Old Qi forming his core at this time?"

Inside the main hall, Fang Zheng, sensing the celestial phenomena outside, raised an eyebrow and then revealed a hint of worry.

This is not a good time to form the core.

Even a few months later would be better than now.

Without him.

He had just extracted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of dozens of miles around the main altar half a month ago.

If he were to extract it again now, there would still be some spiritual energy left, but it would be far less than what he had done half a month ago.

"No, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth outside is not enough. Old Qi may not be able to form his core smoothly."

Fang Zheng was getting a little anxious.

"Gentlemen, please lend Elder Qi a hand."

Inside the Thousand Bamboo Sect, an elderly man doing odd jobs reached into his storage bag, took out several spirit stones, and detonated them. He used this crude method to amplify the spiritual energy of the outside world.

Fang Zheng witnessed this scene and was deeply shocked.

Immediately and subconsciously, he took out a large number of spirit stones from his storage bag and detonated dozens of mid-grade spirit stones and thousands of low-grade spirit stones, releasing the pure spiritual energy within them.

It's not that you can't form your core if the external spiritual energy environment is poor. It's just that the better the environment, the easier it is to form your core.

"Everyone, let's unite as one and help the elders reach the Core Formation stage. If our sect wants to be reborn from the ashes, it needs more Core Formation stages."

Fang Zheng also transmitted his voice to many cultivators at the main altar.

The sound encompassed an area of ​​thirty to forty miles.

The next moment, more than twenty Foundation Establishment stage cultivators appeared:
"burst!"

They detonated the mid-grade spirit stones and a large number of low-grade spirit stones on their bodies.

"burst…"

"burst…!"

One by one, the elite members of the sect at the twelfth level of Qi Refining also took out their savings.

Everyone knows that doing this might mean losing most of their wealth, but the Thousand Bamboo Sect desperately needs high-level cultivators.

They no longer want to be treated like servants on their knees.

After Master Jin left, the more high-level cultivators were born within the sect, the better their future would be.

This was said by the newly appointed Nascent Soul stage cult leader more than two years ago.

That person also truly lived up to the principle of fair rewards and punishments.

"interesting."

Han Li squinted at the head of the table.

He truly hadn't expected that the Thousand Bamboo Sect would change its usual way of doing things because of his arrival. Now, they were surprisingly united.

In this case...

"I can't just stand by and watch."

His divine sense spread out, drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of over a hundred miles.

Although it cannot absorb the essence or control it as easily as a Nascent Soul cultivator, it can be guided by the spirit-gathering array of the main altar.

Also.

Thousands of mid-grade spirit stones flew out of the storage bag, and their spiritual energy was extracted by an array near the secluded cultivation chamber.

He then guided this spiritual energy into the secret chamber that was set up with a spirit-binding array.

"If you haven't condensed your core yet, when will you?"

　I wanted to post a long chapter, but I lost track of time. I got too engrossed. Uh...

　　Hey guys, it's almost the end of the month, so give me all your recommendation tickets and monthly tickets!

　　Thank you.
