Born with immortal seed

Chapter 212 The Second Core Formation True Person

"It's a pity that Zengguang Immortal City doesn't have any branches outside. It would be too risky for me to make a trip there rashly... Otherwise, if I wanted to purchase pills like Jade Marrow Pills, the Immortal City would be a much better choice than Wanbao Pavilion."

Bai Zichen hadn't forgotten that he had run into the Youlongmen cultivators in Zengguang Immortal City.

If the other side is patient, they will send disciples to guard the gate of the immortal city with Meng Shigui's soul lamp, waiting for the rabbit to come to them.

If he comes to their door now, wouldn't he be walking right into a trap?

Even without the Dragon Gate tour factor, there would be great risks for him to leave Black Mountain at this time.

After the sect war, Bai Zichen's name must have been placed on the desk of the Ghost Spirit Sect's higher-ups.

The news of his advancement to the late Foundation Establishment stage couldn't be kept secret for long; given the Ghost Spirit Sect's intelligence gathering capabilities, they would find out in less than ten days or half a month.

Having one Ge Cang Zhenren is already a headache enough; if another Core Formation sword cultivator with unparalleled combat power were to appear, the Ghost Spirit Sect would be terrified of how to defend its mountain gate.

The Ten Thousand Ghosts and Vengeful Spirits Formation alone might not be enough to stop the two killing gods.

Therefore, killing a peerless sword cultivator before they form their core is clearly the most cost-effective and efficient way to resolve the issue once and for all.

Times have changed, and Bai Zichen is not overestimating his own allure.

If he truly intends to travel to Zengguang Immortal City, once the news leaks, he will inevitably face ambushes from the Ghost Spirit Sect along the way.

There are definitely Core Formation cultivators among them, and there may even be more than one.

When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength.

Moreover, when dealing with oneself, one would certainly employ all sorts of methods.

"Once I reach the Core Formation stage, perhaps I can use this to scheme against the Ghost Spirit Sect..."

Bai Zichen's heart stirred. Even if the Ghost Spirit Sect estimated things quickly, they couldn't guess the real time he would need to break through to the Core Formation stage.

If one can secretly form the Golden Core, and only reveal one's Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivation level, then by using the pretext of going to Zengguang Immortal City to purchase Golden Core-forming spiritual items, one will surely be able to lure out the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators.

Then, relying on his own strength, he will give the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators an unforgettable lesson.

Although he failed to obtain the pills he desired from the Pill Hall, he at least figured out several commonly used pills for enhancing cultivation in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

I now have a general understanding of its various functions and approximate prices.

White Jade Tower.

"Uncle Ge is really generous! This wine pot is actually a low-grade spiritual artifact... No, I should say that the Core Formation cultivator from the Holy Lotus Sect who traded with him is really generous!"

Bai Zichen played with the Suanni wine pot in his hand. Inside, there was another world, divided into thirty-six compartments, which could hold thirty-six different kinds of spiritual liquids at the same time without affecting each other.

Moreover, the spiritual liquid stored in the Suanni wine pot can ensure that the spiritual energy will not dissipate within a hundred years.

"Or is this how all transactions are between Core Formation cultivators, where low-grade spiritual artifacts are just a bonus that can be given away casually..."

He counted them; one compartment of the Suanni wine pot contained fifty drops of Icefire Dragon Blood Wine.

This will shorten the time it takes for him to reach the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage by half.

"In a year, I can refine half a pot of spirit wine... Next, I will cultivate while considering my future path."

Having someone above you to look after you makes a difference. Even if you cultivate step by step and rely on your own efforts, it will still take about forty years, even with the best cultivation environment.

However, half a pot of Ice and Fire Dragon Blood Wine gave him confidence that he could cultivate to the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage within twenty years.

These past twenty years have also been a process of figuring out one's own path.

If Bai Zichen could generate a treatise on alchemy in the late Foundation Establishment stage, just like Wei Dao, then his time in the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage would be quite short.

Putting aside the alchemical theories for the moment, Bai Zichen gently tapped the Suanni wine pot, and a drop of spiritual liquid flew out of the pot's spout.

The spiritual energy contained in the Ice-Fire Dragon Blood Wine seeps into the body, nourishing the spiritual liquid in the dantian and dantian wave after wave.

At an average rate of refining one drop of spirit wine every seven days, the amount of Ice-Fire Dragon Blood Wine in the Suanni Wine Pot is rapidly decreasing.

Meanwhile, the liquid magic power in the Qi Sea became increasingly viscous.

……

Two years after Dai Hui, the master of the Refining Hall, failed to break through to the Core Formation stage, the small island in the center of Jade Moon Lake welcomed a temporary master.

The former sect leader, Wei Dao, chose this place to go into seclusion and form his core.

However, unlike Dai Hui, Wei Dao did not send out invitations this time, only inviting fellow disciples.

Apart from his few disciples, only a handful of people knew about this news and came to Feiyue Lake together.

"Although we failed to set up the Heavenly Gang Spirit Gathering Array, we managed to gather nine high-grade spirit stones... I hope Master can succeed in one fell swoop."

Several cultivators hovered in mid-air. The one in the lead had a cold and fierce expression, with thin and harsh features.

"Don't worry, senior brother. Senior brother is only one step away... Master has two more Core Formation treasures than him. With his secret technique, he can simultaneously draw upon the spiritual energy from nine high-grade spirit stones, which is enough to push the spiritual energy of this place to almost the level of a fourth-grade spiritual land."

A young man in black said confidently.

Wei Dao's cultivation sites were all arranged by his disciples, while he himself was constantly accumulating energy and conserving his strength.

Soon the auspicious time arrived, and Wei Chuming and several other disciples left the small island in the middle of the lake to quietly wait for the Core Formation process.

"Senior Sister Zhou, where is Junior Brother Bai?"

Qi Yue looked around but couldn't find Bai Zichen.

"I informed Junior Brother Bai a few days ago, but perhaps he is in seclusion and hasn't received the message..."

Zhou Suqing stared nervously at the small island. After refining the twenty-five drops of Ice-Fire Dragon Blood Wine that belonged to her, her cultivation level was not too far from the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Every Foundation Establishment cultivator's journey to Core Formation was a valuable experience for her.

This time, Wei Dao chose not to disclose the matter to the public and did not invite any guests, but Zhou Suqing, as the host, certainly couldn't hide it from everyone.

Even the spiritual ground for Core Formation was borrowed from her.

Qi Yue, on the other hand, was unable to leave because Master Ge Cang was practicing a secret technique, so he came to observe the ceremony on behalf of his master.

Suddenly, countless aquatic beasts at the bottom of Jade Moon Lake fled frantically, away from the small island in the center of the lake.

The ancient tortoise, having sank down early on, made way for itself, having not moved an inch since becoming a spirit beast, and floated to the mudflats near the White Jade Pavilion.

Ripples spread across the lake, growing larger and larger, as if triggering a tide, with waves surging.

A sudden breeze stirred on the island. At first, it was just a gentle breeze, but after ten breaths, it became a raging storm, raising waves several meters high.

"Senior Brother Wei has a wind spirit root. Could it be that Dan Lun has taken the path of wind and rain?"

The Dan Lun (or Dan Lun) deals with the fundamental path of a cultivator, and it is only shared and discussed among the closest people; outsiders only see the surface.

Zhou Suqing could only make inferences based on the unusual phenomenon of Core Formation.

"No, Master said that Senior Brother Wei is meticulous and plans things out before acting... Even his alchemy theory is unexpected, but extremely accurate."

Although Qi Yue's cultivation level was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, he had been influenced by Ge Cang Zhenren and had become more knowledgeable about these secrets.

A fierce wind howled, and countless aquatic creatures from the lake were swept into the sky before crashing to the ground.

If it weren't for the fact that it was under the protection of a third-tier grand formation, Lake Jade Moon would have already overflowed and flooded both banks.

A glimmer of light gradually appeared in the center of the island, growing from a faint glow into a blazing sun. Only then did the two realize that no matter how strong the storm was outside, the center of the island remained untouched by wind and rain, and even the surrounding clouds were gathered together by the gale.

Once inside the airspace above the sacred ground, the wind ceases and all sounds become silent.

But with the strong winds sweeping through, it always felt like something was missing.

At this moment, another ancient zither flew out from the center of the island, automatically playing a tune and raising the wind force by several degrees.

At the end of the piece, the guqin transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the air.

"The Virtuous Harp!"

Qi Yue's expression hardened, and a hint of reluctance appeared on his face: "So Senior Brother Wei has taken this treasure. It's a rare treasure in the Secret Hall that can help with Core Formation."

"The Salvation Zither? I've never heard of this treasure before. Is it a magical artifact passed down from our ancestors?"

Zhou Suqing looked confused; she had never been to the secret hall before.

"The genuine Durenqin should be a spiritual treasure. The one stored in the sect's secret hall is merely a secret treasure with a trace of its aura... After activation, it can preserve the primordial spirit and strengthen the divine sense for a period of time, which is just right for the final step of breaking through to the Core Formation stage!"

Qi Yue felt great regret, as only the last secret treasure, the "Salvation Qin," remained in the secret hall.

He originally planned to exchange this item for a layer of protection when he reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Fifteen minutes later, the storm subsided, and it seemed as if a sun had risen on the small island in the middle of the lake, dispelling the cold and bringing warm sunlight to the earth.

The entire Jade Moon Lake was bathed in a pale golden light.

The spiritual energy within a radius of dozens of miles seemed to have found an entrance, surging wildly towards the small island in the center of the lake.

The other disciples cultivating in Jade Moon Lake were horrified to find that they could not sense any spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and thought that something had gone wrong in their cultivation.

It wasn't until after a cup of tea that the concentration of spiritual energy in the air gradually returned to normal.

Qi Yue and Zhou Suqing exchanged a glance, both seeing deep envy in each other's eyes.

That undisguised, powerful aura shot straight into the sky, shattering the thick clouds that had accumulated on the island.

Wei Dao has successfully broken through to the Core Formation stage and become the second Core Formation True Person of the Qingfeng Sect!
The two flew to the island and landed, standing with several disciples of Weidao, appearing somewhat restrained and nervous.

The former sect leader and the Core Formation cultivator are worlds apart in status, so it's normal for their attitudes to change.

Once Wei Dao stabilizes his cultivation level and returns to the sect, it will trigger another earthquake.

Even if he himself does not make any decision, the power within the sect will still be redistributed according to his preferences.

Wei Daoke is different from Ge Cang Zhenren. He has served as the sect leader for a long time and was not high and mighty from the beginning.

They have a large following within the council of elders and possess their own power base.

Having become a Core Formation True Person, Wei Dao's status has transcended, and he no longer needs to contend for this small amount of power within the sect.

This does not mean that his disciples and followers will not fight; in fact, they will inevitably clash with other elders and their factions.

"The wind moves, but I remain still... Abandoning my strengths and taking a different path?"

Outside the White Jade Pavilion, Bai Zichen stood on the back of the thousand-year-old tortoise, witnessing the entire process of Wei Dao forming his core.

Compared to Dai Hui's Core Formation, Wei Dao's Core Formation phenomena were significantly different, aside from the fact that he received external assistance.

Ordinary cultivators might not have this insight, but someone like Bai Zichen, who is in the late Foundation Establishment stage, can already sense the profound charm contained within the phenomenon of raging storms.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the theory of the formation of the core, the difference between a perfect Core Formation cultivator who has determined their own path and an ordinary Core Formation cultivator.
