Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 254 The Biggest Winner? Core Formation Successfully Achieved! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Inside the Danzi Stone Gate is a long and narrow passage.

There were lights on both sides of the wall, so the passageway was not too dark.

After walking several dozen feet, Xu Chuan arrived at a room, which was an alchemy room with a bronze alchemy furnace in the center.

There was a futon in front of the alchemy furnace, and a stone table to the left of the furnace; the rest of the room was empty.

Xu Chuan just entered.

The mechanical voice sounded again.

The first stage of the alchemy examination requires you to choose one of the following alchemical formulas and refine it within three hours. If you pass, you can participate in the second stage of the examination.

Note that the difficulty level and rating of the elixir will affect the reward items.

Now, examinees, please choose the elixir you wish to refine. You have sixty breaths to choose.

As the sound rang out, three pill formulas suddenly appeared in mid-air.

Xu Chuan immediately looked over.

The first one is the recipe for the Spirit Gathering Pill, which is three times more effective than the Qi Gathering Pill.

The second one is a recipe for a breakthrough pill, which is the complete recipe of the incomplete recipe that the Zhou family obtained back then.

The third one is the formula for the Spirit Condensation Pill, which is used to purify the magical power of cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.

Without a doubt, the Spirit Condensation Pill is the most difficult to refine.

Xu Chuan glanced at it and found that the value of its materials was several times higher than that of the True Essence Pill, and the difficulty of refining it was three times greater.

"I choose the third prescription."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Spirit Condensation Pill landed in Xu Chuan's hand, while the other two disappeared.

The materials have been prepared. There are three sets of materials in the storage bag on the stone table. If all three sets fail, the assessment will be failed.

The mechanical sound rang out again.

Xu Chuan turned his head and indeed saw the storage bag.

But it wasn't there just now.

This method truly horrified him.

"If I succeed on my first try, may I continue refining? And will the pills I refine belong to me?"

In a mysterious space.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Girl's lips twitched slightly. She really wanted to take advantage of every opportunity!

[You may refine pills throughout the assessment period, until you announce the end of the refining process yourself. You may take away any pills you refine yourself.]

Xu Chuan smiled slightly.

[The examiner has half an hour to study the elixir formula. If you feel you have finished studying it, you may begin immediately.]

The alchemy assessment time starts from the moment you begin alchemy.

Xu Chuan immediately began studying the formula for the Spirit Condensation Pill, then took out a set of materials from his storage bag and tasted them using his [Shennong Herbs] talent.

He had seen the materials for the Spirit Condensation Pill, and it was difficult to gather many of them even in the vicinity of the Seven Cities of Tiancang.

Now that he has free materials, he naturally wants to maximize the results of his alchemy.

Half an hour later.

Xu Chuan began formally refining elixirs.

This is a magical alchemy furnace. Xu Chuan did not use it this time, but instead took out the Phoenix Furnace from his storage bag and used it to refine pills.

He estimated that the alchemy test had at least three stages, corresponding to first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier pills respectively.

Using this magical alchemy furnace, the refining of third-tier pills can be accelerated.

However, one must first be familiar with the flames of this alchemy furnace.

Xu Chuan planned to refine the assessment pills first, and then use the spiritual herbs he brought to refine pills, so as to familiarize himself with the magic weapon's pill furnace.

Two hours later.

Xu Chuan finished refining all the materials for the three Spirit Condensation Pills.

The first batch of pills yielded nine pills, five of which were of superior quality and four of medium quality.

The second batch produced nine pills, seven of which were of superior quality and two of medium quality.

The third batch produced nine pills, each of superior quality.

The Dragon Girl, watching from behind the curtain, was also slightly surprised.

A new pill formula, with only three ingredients, has been used to refine the pill to such a perfect degree, which is enough to show Xu Chuan's talent in alchemy.

Moreover, this pill formula is significantly more difficult than ordinary second-tier pill formulas.

But when he saw him using the magic furnace to refine other pills, his lips twitched again.

Who is this?
Such extreme exploitation is rare even in ancient times!
Three hours later.

[The assessment is over. Examinees, please submit your assessment pills.]

Xu Chuan naturally submitted the third batch of pills.

[The Spirit Condensation Pill, nine pills in total, all of superior quality, were refined without any failures and each pill reached at least five superior quality. The assessment is rated as the best of the best.]

Three superior Foundation Establishment Pills will be awarded as a special reward.

Xu Chuan's eyes lit up. He turned his head and saw that there was indeed a porcelain bottle on the stone table.

The second assessment will begin half a day later.

Xu Chuan put away the porcelain bottle and began to sit cross-legged to regulate his breathing.

Refining pills consumes spiritual energy and magical power, so he immediately swallowed a high-grade Condensing True Essence Pill to accelerate the recovery of his magical power.

As for spiritual consciousness...

For his current Golden Core spiritual consciousness, there is little pressure.

The second assessment began in the blink of an eye.

There are still three different prescriptions.

The first type is the Gathering Essence Pill, which is suitable for consumption during the Foundation Establishment stage. Its efficacy is 50% higher than that of the True Essence Pill, and it is also effective in the later stages of Foundation Establishment.

The second type is Chongxu Dan, which is very familiar.

The third type is the Heavenly Spirit Pill, which accelerates the crystallization of magical power and assists in the process of forming the Golden Core.

Xu Chuan's eyes widened instantly, and he was overjoyed.

As expected of an ancient and great sect!

If Xu Chuan could obtain his alchemy lineage, it would be an immense opportunity.

Of course, some of the ingredients in the prescription may be very hard to find, or even extinct.

"I choose the third option."

Xu Chuan and Xu Deling are both on the verge of forming their core, so naturally, the more of these pills that can help them break through to core formation, the better.

This time, there were three hours to familiarize myself with the elixir formula.

Xu Chuan followed suit, first tasting hundreds of herbs to identify their medicinal properties, and then using his body as a furnace to try refining elixirs.

Then the alchemy process officially began.

The alchemy process takes a full day.

Xu Chuan continued to use the Phoenix Furnace to refine pills.

He was completely absorbed in alchemy and was not distracted at all.

The first batch of pills was successfully refined, producing three pills: one high-grade pill and two mid-grade pills.

Although the Heavenly Spirit Pill is not as difficult as the "Golden Core Pill", it is still quite difficult, even more difficult than some third-tier pills.

If it weren't for his talent for tasting hundreds of herbs, it would have been difficult to refine a high-grade pill in the first batch.

The second batch produced four pills: three of superior grade and one of medium grade.

The third batch contained six pieces: five of superior quality and one of medium quality.

"This boy's talent in alchemy is no less than that of the renowned alchemy geniuses of the Azure Dragon Sect!"

The dragon girl's eyes sparkled with admiration, and she murmured her praise.

After that, Xu Chuan continued to spend the rest of his time familiarizing himself with the magic weapon, the alchemy furnace.

Although the time was short.

But it was enough for him to master the flames of the magic furnace and refine pills.

[Heavenly Spirit Pill, condensed into six pills, five of which are of superior quality. The pill refining process was flawless, and all pills were of superior quality. The assessment is rated as the best of the best.]

A special reward of one bottle of superior-grade Cleansing Spirit Pill and one bottle of superior-grade Heavenly Spirit Pill.

The Purifying Spirit Pill was refined by Xu Chuan.

It can eliminate hidden dangers in the body, as well as erysipelas accumulated in the body.

Taking it before forming the Golden Core can also help with the formation of the Golden Core.

Xu Chuan chose pill formulas that were comparable to higher-level pills, and he had never failed in his first attempt at refining them. His evaluations were always top-notch, which is why he was able to obtain these rare rewards.

The third assessment was followed by a one-day break.

Xu Chuan recovered to full strength in less than half a day and then devoted himself to studying fire control.

Before long, the third assessment began.

The three elixir formulas are "Jiejin Dan", "Longyuan Dan", and "Taiyi Qingyang Dan".

"Golden Core" goes without saying; it assists cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Even a low-grade one can improve their cultivation by 15%, while a high-grade one can improve it by 35%.

In addition, there are the Cleansing Spirit Pill and the Heavenly Spirit Pill.

If all three pills are of superior quality, one will have a 50% chance of forming a core.

When using innate spiritual objects to form a core, the effect of low-grade innate spiritual objects increases by 20%, followed by 30% and 40%.

The chance of forming a Divine Core increases by 50%.

The second type, Dragon Essence Pill, is generally a high-grade third-tier pill, just like the "Golden Elixir".

The effects were appealing to Xu Chuan, but it was designed for demonic beasts containing the bloodline of a true dragon. It could purify the bloodline of a true dragon, making it easier for third-tier dragon demonic beasts to advance to the fourth tier.

"Could it be that it knows I have a third-tier peak dragon demon beast that is nearing its end?"

The creature Xu Chuan mentioned is the one that presides over the secret realm assessment.

He believes that such humane assessments and rewards must be manipulated by some kind of entity behind the scenes.

This explains why only a very small number of people who enter the secret realm are able to obtain the opportunity.

Who gets the opportunity and the legacy is entirely up to the person behind the scenes.

He felt that everything he had done might have already been exposed to that person, and that was probably why the other party gave him the opportunity to inherit the legacy.

Misfortune comes with blessings, and blessings come with misfortunes.

That's probably it.

However, Xu Chuan also felt that the other party probably didn't have any malicious intent, and was most likely a spirit of a secret realm or a spirit of a certain magic weapon.

The final Taiyi Qingling Pill is a pill suitable for extending the lifespan of Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators.

Judging from its efficacy, it should be one of the top-tier longevity pills.

If a cultivator at the Golden Core stage takes this, it can directly add two cycles of lifespan; if a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage takes it, it can add fifty years to their lifespan.

The third assessment was significantly more difficult.

All three pills are among the most difficult to refine in the third tier, but the Taiyi Qingyang Pill is undoubtedly a step above the other two.

[Given the preciousness of the elixirs and the rarity of the ingredients, each elixir recipe has only one batch of ingredients available. Therefore, each examinee has only one chance to refine it. Please choose carefully.]

"The Taiyi Qingyang Pill is indeed more precious and valuable, but it is useless to me and my Xu family now. I have already memorized the formula, and we will collect it again when the Xu family truly grows stronger in the future."

As for the Dragon Essence Pill, it's hard to say how much true dragon blood it can purify, and the chances of advancing to the fourth rank are also uncertain. Let's wait and see.

Xu Chuan quickly made a decision to refine the "Golden Core".

Firstly, this pill is most useful to the Xu family at present. Secondly, Xu Chuan has refined it before, although only once or twice, but he still has the experience. He is confident that he can refine a high-grade pill in one go.

"I choose the first one, the formula for 'forming the Golden Elixir'."

The recipe for the "Golden Elixir" was revealed, and the other two disappeared, while the materials reappeared on the stone table.

Xu Chuan did not hesitate for long and immediately began refining.

The assessment lasted for three days.

Xu Chuan spent a day refining pills in one batch using the magic pill furnace.

It produces five pills, three of which are of superior quality and two of medium quality.

Xu Chuan obtained some alchemy inheritance from the Xuan Yue Secret Realm, combined with his own talent in medicine, the cultivation techniques he practiced, and his spiritual sense reaching the Golden Core stage, which enabled him to achieve such attainments.

If it were any other master alchemist, refining a difficult pill like the "Golden Core Pill" would inevitably result in low-grade pills unless they had refined dozens of batches and reached a state of perfection.

"Golden Elixir Formation": Five pills are formed, three of which are of superior quality, two of which are of medium quality, and none of which are of inferior quality. The evaluation is top-notch.

A top-grade Dragon Essence Pill will be awarded as a special reward.

Xu Chuan had been thinking about the Dragon Essence Pill, and he never expected it to be such a reward, especially a high-grade one.

Although it's uncertain whether it will allow Mo Yue to advance to the fourth tier, at least it will give him hope!
This can be considered as fulfilling the vow made that day.

"But in this assessment, is refining a single high-grade pill enough to receive a top-level evaluation?"

Xu Chuan didn't ask any questions. With a flick of his sleeve, he put the porcelain bottle containing the Dragon Essence Pill into his storage ring.

The rewards he received from the candidate disciple assessment alone, and the pills he had silently memorized, were already a great opportunity.

[Congratulations on successfully passing the alchemy assessment! You will receive a token for a candidate true disciple.]

After he finished speaking, a token appeared in mid-air, with a blue dragon on the back and an ancient "川" character on the front.

This token is similar to the one seen in the Tiancang Sect Square before, but it seems to be of a higher grade.

This token can be refined with a drop of blood. When the Azure Dragon Secret Realm opens again, the holder will have one opportunity to be directly teleported into the secret realm, but this requires the holder to successfully form a Divine Core.

Xu Chuan silently noted it down, but couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart, "The next time it opens will be after the Jiazi year."

Xu Chuan is not yet 120 years old. A full cycle of sixty years is half of his life. How can one not sigh with regret?

Suddenly, Xu Chuan thought of something and asked, "May I ask if there is a fourth assessment, and if there is a reward for passing it?"

The mechanical sound rang out again.

As a candidate disciple of the Azure Dragon Sect, you are qualified to undergo the fourth assessment. Would you like to proceed?

"conduct."

Even getting just one fourth-tier pill recipe is a win.

Behind the scenes, the Dragon Girl pondered and chose He Danfang for Xu Chuan.

After all, it is extremely difficult to refine a fourth-order pill during the Foundation Establishment stage. However, if he succeeds, it will show that Xu Chuan's potential in alchemy is outstanding even in ancient times, and he is expected to become a top alchemist.

[There is only one recipe for the Fourth-Order Pill, the Crossing-the-Calamity Pill, which helps Golden Core cultivators resist the invasion of inner demons when advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. It requires one set of materials.]

Successfully condensing the pill is considered a superior evaluation; if a high-grade pill is produced, it is considered an even higher evaluation, and a mysterious reward will be granted.

"It's actually this kind of pill!" Xu Chuan was shocked.

The tribulation of inner demons is the greatest tribulation for Golden Core cultivators advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. Countless cultivators have died from the torment of inner demons, leaving only an empty shell.

This pill is far more difficult to make than ordinary fourth-tier pills!

"The top-tier reward must be quite substantial, but I wonder what the mysterious reward is?"

[For this assessment, there is no time limit for studying the alchemical formulas or for refining the elixirs; Xu Chuan, the candidate for the true disciple, is free to manage his time as he sees fit.]

No time limit?

Xu Chuan chuckled inwardly.

The secret realm will only be open for a month, and it's been less than half a month now.

Xu Chuan calmed his mind, and with a thought, the storage bag flew into his hand. He then took out the spiritual herbs and materials inside.

The most precious ingredients in the Du'e Dan are the Du'e lotus seeds, Bodhi saliva, and Qingxin flower.

There are only seven other auxiliary ingredients.

The lotus seeds for crossing the calamity and the saliva of the Bodhi tree are extremely difficult to refine. Without the true fire of the Golden Core level, it is impossible to refine them into medicinal liquid. Fortunately, there is a magic treasure alchemy furnace to assist in the process.

Xu Chuan began tasting various herbs once again.

However, they only dared to take a tiny bit of the materials, since these were either high-grade or top-grade spiritual herbs, containing immense medicinal power.

Half a day later.

Xu Chuan suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes.

"With my current alchemy skills, I should be about 60-70% confident in condensing the pill, but I still need to continue to study the combination and variation of medicinal properties to make a high-grade pill."

Xu Chuan used himself as a furnace to continuously combine and change the medicinal properties.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Chuan finally began refining pills, but he estimated that the remaining materials would only yield a maximum of three or four pills. However, he only needed to produce one high-grade pill.

Xu Chuan divided his divine sense into nine strands, simultaneously refining the materials.

"Is this... the secret method of controlling consciousness recorded in the second part of the 'Dan Jing'?"

The Dragon Girl exclaimed in shock, then sighed, "Fate is truly strange!"

Because what the Dragon Girl herself prepared was the lower and middle sections of the "Dan Jing" written by the ancient alchemist, which was collected by the Azure Dragon Sect.

In order to spread the Dao of alchemy, Danzu divided his painstakingly researched "Danjing" into three parts: upper, middle, and lower, corresponding to the three major realms.

The next section corresponds to Qi Refining, Foundation Building, and Golden Core.

The middle section corresponds to the Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, and Void Refinement stages.

The first part corresponds to the combination, Mahayana, and tribulation.

The three chapters of the "Dan Jing" spread throughout the world, recording various secret methods related to alchemy, as well as many elixir recipes.

In ancient times, it was included in the records of almost all major sects and forces.

Of course, there aren't many complete sets available; only a few top-tier forces possess them.

Using his divine consciousness to control the process, Xu Chuan compressed the originally estimated seven or eight days into three days.

The elixir was successfully condensed in one batch, yielding three pills: one each in the upper, middle, and lower parts.

"This child must possess top-notch talent in alchemy!" The Dragon Girl exclaimed upon seeing the result, her golden vertical pupils filled with disbelief.

In the third test, the Dragon Girl might still believe that the opponent had previously researched and refined it.

However, she estimated that most sects and forces today do not possess the formula for top-tier pills like the Crossing Calamity Pill, and it would be even more impossible for someone like Xu Chuan, who is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, to come into contact with a fourth-tier pill formula.

Even if one had the recipe, it would be impossible to collect all the ingredients listed in it.

For those above the Golden Core stage, it is virtually impossible to rapidly improve their cultivation by consuming pills; they must rely on their own arduous cultivation and occasionally obtain pills to consume.

The main reason is still the restriction of the spiritual herbs.

It was similar in ancient times, at most a little better than it is now.

Xu Chuan let out a soft breath, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He had a premonition that this Du'e Dan would definitely be of great use to the Xu family in the future.

A few moments.

[The Tribulation-Crossing Pill has been successfully refined, and it contains various grades, both superior and inferior. The assessment is rated as top-tier, and a copy of the Dao of Alchemy is awarded as a special reward.]

A jade slip bearing a legacy appeared on the stone table.

With a flick of his wrist, Xu Chuan sent the jade slip of inheritance flying into his palm. He placed it between his eyebrows, and a flood of knowledge poured in.

"The Classic of Alchemy?"

"So the Nine Flames Technique that Senior Yun Zhongzi obtained came from the ancient alchemical classic?!"

Xu Chuan was shocked. This "Dan Jing" was incredibly profound. Although it only had two parts, the content was already vast and boundless. It must have been created by a great alchemist in ancient times.

"May I ask which senior scholar authored the 'Classic of Alchemy'?"

[You don't need to ask any more questions. You will know when the opportunity arises. Xu Chuan, the candidate for true disciple, you have passed all the tests. You can leave this place now.]

Xu Chuan did not linger and immediately left the room, returning to the hall.

Xu Deling was already in the hall.

"De Ling, how did your weapon crafting assessment go?"

"I passed." Xu Deling grinned and then briefly explained the content of his assessment.

Xu Deling's first challenge was to refine exquisite magical artifacts, the second challenge was to refine top-tier magical artifacts, and the third challenge was to refine artifacts with intricate patterns.

After passing the three trials, Xu Deling obtained three rare materials, all of which were required for magical artifacts as recorded in the "Fire Emperor Scripture".

“Grandfather, besides the materials, Ling’er also obtained a legacy of artifact crafting, which can reach the highest level of magic treasures. There is no record of spiritual treasures above magic treasures.”

And two tokens.

"Two tokens?" Xu Chuan was taken aback. "Let Grandfather take a look."

One token is the same as Xu Chuan's, a token for a candidate true disciple of the Azure Dragon Sect. The other token is similar, but the back of the token features a Vermilion Bird pattern.

"Could this token be the disciple token of the ancient Vermilion Bird Sect, which is on par with the Azure Dragon Sect?"

"Ling'er thinks so too."

Xu Chuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly, "Perhaps it is because they feel that you have a connection with the Vermilion Bird Sect that they have given you the Vermilion Bird Sect disciple token. You may be able to use it if you encounter any secret realms or inheritance trials left behind by the Vermilion Bird Sect."

Xu Deling nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Both of you have passed the assessment for candidate true disciples of the Azure Dragon Sect. When you reach the stage of supernatural power and enter the secret realm again, you will be able to obtain the corresponding true disciple inheritance.

Should we leave the inheritance space now?

Xu Chuan transmitted his voice to Xu Deling: "Ling'er, you go first and wait for me outside. I want to try the test of the Way of Deduction."

"Understood, Grandfather."

Xu Deling immediately left.

next moment.

Her figure then disappeared from the spot.

Xu Chuan then entered the simulation stone gate.

Three days later.

He walked out of the divination stone gate and murmured to himself, "The way of divination is indeed obscure and difficult, but it's not a loss to get the 'Minor Star Physiognomy Scripture' after passing the first level."

He glanced at the stone gates for talismans and arrays, and sighed slightly, "If Mingyuan and Mingxian were here, they would surely have passed the candidate true disciple assessment as well."

"By passing the assessment, one might obtain the corresponding supernatural power and the method for forming the elixir."

The "Xiaoxingxiangjing" records a kind of astrological supernatural power.

"I'm leaving the inheritance space."

After saying this, Xu Chuan's figure disappeared from the inheritance space.

The Dragon Girl was quite shocked that Xu Chuan was able to pass the test of the Way of Deduction, and wondered if Xu Chuan also had a talent related to deduction and divination.

The art of deduction is extremely difficult to grasp, and it is far beyond the art of formations.

Even in ancient times, this lineage was extremely rare, and those who possessed it were all very mysterious and few in number.

Therefore, the method of deduction only has one stage.

If Xu Chuan hadn't decided to leave after receiving the reward, the Dragon Girl would have felt that she was really not easy to fool.

They arrived in the outside world.

Mo Yue suddenly contacted Xu Chuan and said, "Xu Chuan, why haven't I been able to reach you these past few days?"

Xu Chuan replied with a smile, "It must have been artificially blocked by a powerful figure in the secret realm."

"However, this time, Deling and I received the inheritance of the ancient Azure Dragon Sect and became candidate disciples, which can be described as an extremely fortunate opportunity."

"Ancient Azure Dragon Sect inheritance? A candidate for true disciple?"

Xu Chuan didn't hide anything from Mo Yue and briefly recounted the events.

"Xu Chuan, that top-grade Dragon Essence Pill."

"It's naturally yours. Once your strength recovers to the peak of the third tier, I'll give it to you. I think it will also increase your chances of advancing to the fourth tier."

"Thanks, Xu Chuan." Mo Yue thanked him earnestly, and then added, "However, the fourth rank is not so easy. When you cultivators enter the Nascent Soul stage, you have to overcome the tribulation of inner demons."

We demon beasts, on the other hand, undergo tribulation by lightning.

Countless peak-level third-tier demonic beasts fear the lightning tribulation and never dare to take that step in their entire lives.

With my old body…

"Don't worry, if your physical defenses aren't enough, my Xu family can find a way to forge magical artifacts for you to withstand the heavenly lightning."

De Ling also received part of the weapon-crafting inheritance from the Azure Dragon Sect. Once she reaches the Golden Core stage, she will definitely be able to do it.

If one magic weapon isn't enough, then have two or three; it will always increase your chances of surviving the tribulation.

"If you become a fourth-tier transformed demon, it will be a great joy for my Xu family."

Mo Yue was deeply moved and swore once more, "I, Mo Yue, swear in the name of the Ancestral Dragon that I will never betray the Xu family in this life, and will share the honor and disgrace of the Xu family!"

"You've even learned to add your own drama to your life," Xu Chuan chuckled.

Then, he said to Xu Deling, "Ling'er, there are still a few days left. Let's wander around the secret realm a little longer and see if we can get some more spiritual herbs and materials."

Xu Deling nodded slightly.

The two were like cunning foxes; as long as they didn't want to show themselves in public, no one could find them at all.

After all, Xu Chuan's spiritual sense could detect things more than ten times their range, and it was so powerful that they could hardly detect him, making it extremely easy for him to avoid them.

Even when the two hunted demonic beasts, they set up a top-tier second-order formation to isolate the battle's fluctuations.

Before we knew it, it was the last day of our journey to the secret realm.

Xu Chuan felt that his Xu family should be the biggest winner.

However, Xu Deling asked worriedly, "Grandfather, do you think the Tiancang Sect will check our storage bags?"

Xu Chuan stroked his chin, lowered his head and pondered deeply. After a while, he said, "To be on the safe side, before leaving, store all the items obtained from the secret realm inheritance assessment into my storage ring, and then have Mo Yue swallow them for safekeeping."

With the quality of my storage ring, I can stay inside its belly for ten days or half a month without being affected.

That's about it.

However, in my estimation, the Azure Dragon Sect wouldn't be so greedy as to covet such a small thing; its foundation is far deeper than that of the seven Golden Core families and the three sects combined.

Xu Deling nodded slightly.

At the foot of a mountain peak, about 700 or 800 miles away.

There used to be a cave here, but it has been concealed by an illusion array.

The one who was in seclusion in the cave was Chen Changge, who had unexpectedly obtained a low-grade innate spiritual item of the metal element.

He used this innate spiritual object to break through to the Golden Core stage.

Before we knew it, the last day had arrived.

at this time.

The magical power in Chen Changge's dantian and dantian had all crystallized.

The next moment, his dantian suddenly surged, and his previously stagnant magical power suddenly became active, and some kind of shackle within his body was completely blasted away.

Suddenly.

First, the spiritual mist within a few feet gathered towards Chen Changge, then it expanded to hundreds of meters, thousands of meters...

In less than half an incense stick's time, spiritual energy from a radius of nearly a hundred miles surged in like a tide, forming a visible torrent of spiritual energy in the air.

The illusion array he had set up shattered instantly, revealing the cave.

Five-colored spiritual light intertwined within, transforming into a five-colored spiritual energy vortex with a diameter of tens of feet.

The vortex reached the sky, the clouds were stirred and rolled endlessly, and spiritual energy poured into Chen Changge's body like a waterfall.

This extraordinary celestial phenomenon can be sensed within a radius of thousands of miles.

Countless people turned to look.

"That's... the phenomenon of Core Formation!" someone exclaimed in surprise. "I've seen an elder in my family break through to Core Formation, and it was just like that!"

Who could have been so fortunate as to successfully form their core in this secret realm?!

“This is such good luck!”

"This person must have encountered a great opportunity; perhaps he even obtained a primordial spiritual treasure!"

"Unfortunately, the opponent is already at the final crucial moment of Core Formation. Under the vortex of spiritual energy, even Golden Core cultivators cannot get close, let alone us."

Almost everyone's eyes revealed a hint of jealousy.

In the Southern Region, only those who successfully form their Golden Core can become powerful figures respected by all.

In their eyes, Foundation Establishment cultivators were nothing more than children playing house.

"Congeal!"

Chen Changge suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, as the remaining radiance of the innate spiritual object surged into his dantian.

Countless rays of light gradually condensed in the dantian into a pale golden core the size of a soybean.

When the core was first formed, the surrounding spiritual energy vortex suddenly accelerated, and five-colored spiritual light surged in wildly. The core then expanded, and fine spiritual patterns gradually appeared on its surface.

Just as the core was about to stabilize into a golden core, an invisible bottleneck suddenly appeared, causing the flow of spiritual energy to stagnate. Cold sweat broke out on Chen Changge's forehead, and his face turned slightly pale.

In the critical moment, the residual innate energy of the innate spiritual object suddenly exploded in the dantian, turning into a warm current that enveloped the core of the dantian and fiercely impacted the bottleneck.

With a low shout, Chen Changge's spiritual energy vortex contracted suddenly and then surged again, with golden light faintly shining through the five-colored spiritual light.

There was a soft "click" sound.

The bottleneck has been broken!

The core stabilized instantly!

It transformed into a golden pill the size of a longan, hovering in the center of the dantian, radiating a powerful golden pill aura.

When the celestial phenomenon first appeared, many people flew towards its center.

Xu Chuan and Xu Deling were also extremely shocked. After thinking for a moment, they flew over to see what was going on.

He was also curious about who had obtained the opportunity to break through to the Golden Core realm in seclusion and succeeded directly.

Of course, when it comes to opportunities to form the Golden Core, Xu Chuan has five in total, all of which are pills.

However, when combined with the auxiliary Purifying Spirit Pill and Heavenly Spirit Pill, any Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator in the secret realm has a chance to break through to the Golden Core stage.

After half a stick of incense.

The strange phenomena of heaven and earth gradually subsided, the vortex of five-colored spiritual energy slowly dissipated, the spiritual energy within a hundred miles gradually returned to calm, the clouds dispersed, and the sunlight shone down again.

Chen Changge slowly finished his practice, holding the innate spiritual object that had lost its radiant glow and was now only dark gold in color in his palm, and then put it away.

The aura of his golden core spread out like ripples on water, causing his robes to flutter.

He looked up at the sky and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Finally, we've entered the Golden Core stage. This will give my Chen family a greater say in the Green Wood Sect."

He extended his divine sense and immediately discovered the cultivators who were rushing towards the cave several miles away.

"Fellow Daoists, come and have a chat."

Chen Changge spoke calmly, yet his voice carried for miles around.

"It's Chen Changge!" someone immediately recognized him.

"It turned out to be him!"

Many people were shocked.

Compared to the others present, Chen Changge was definitely from the older generation.

"Of the two outstanding talents of the Qingmu Sect back then, Feng Juechen successfully formed his core decades ago. Now that he has survived his life-threatening tribulation, he has also obtained the opportunity to form his core this time!"

Many people were deeply moved.

But now that the other party is a Golden Core cultivator, we must show them the respect due to them.

Therefore, they all put aside their ulterior motives and came to the cave.

Xu Chuan and Xu Deling were also on the list.

Chen Changge emerged from the cave, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, the hem of which was spotless, and the sleeves fluttered like clouds brushing against the mountain.

Her hair was styled in a simple bun, secured only by a three-inch-long peach wood hairpin. The hairpin was light brown in color, without any carvings, and very simple.

His temples were slightly white, with a few strands of frost mixed in with his black hair, hanging down beside his ears.

Her face looked more radiant than before.
