The Wandering Immortal

Chapter 71 Minor Success in Golden Core
Shen Wangzhi would occasionally go out to check the Spirit Gathering Array and found that there were often demonic beasts spying on the outer perimeter of the array. This time, a level seven demon actually came, so he called Jiang Yuan and the others out as well.

Jiang Yuan wasn't worried about the formation being broken. A Nascent Soul level formation was something even an eighth-level transformed demon wouldn't have the power to break.

It's simply that the Spirit Gathering Array has gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from thousands of miles around. Those demonic beasts are naturally sensitive to spiritual energy, which is why they coveted it.

There's no need to go out and provoke them now; fighting a level seven demon in the sea is still too dangerous.

If Jiang Yuan and Liu Caiwei also form their Golden Cores, and with the addition of a level seven flower fairy soul, a battle between them wouldn't be out of the question.

Jiang Yuan thought to himself, "We used to set traps everywhere to hunt down powerful demons, but now they're coming to us for free. Why not take advantage of this opportunity?"

Moreover, level seven demonic beasts often possess special treasures that can be used as materials for refining weapons.

For example, the level seven tiger shark king that is frolicking outside has a thick hide that is good for refining robes and shields, and its two rows of sharp teeth are also excellent materials for weapon crafting.

Jiang Yuan is now focusing on the Vajra Technique, which he can do outside the cave. After that, he often goes to the rocks by the sea to practice his fist techniques, and occasionally he will see the level seven tiger shark devouring other monsters.

That guy also seemed to know how to conceal his aura, hiding himself in the rocks and launching a surprise attack when other monsters got close.

Shen Wangzhi often witnessed scenes of the strong preying on the weak. In a year, that guy had devoured at least a dozen demonic beasts. He basically accepted everything, big or small, and had an enormous appetite.

Jiang Yuan laughed and said, "That tiger shark's water-type demon core is a great tonic for Sister Liu, and it may even have the ability to conceal itself."

Shen Wangzhi was itching to try it out. After practicing sword control for several years, he felt much stronger than before.

"Can we take down a level seven monster in the water?"

Jiang Yuan thought to himself that if they fought head-on, someone might get hurt. He had to use a clever approach. If he could use the red line, he would have a much better chance of winning.

"Let it live a few more days. Once I have formed my core, I will have a way to deal with it."

Shen Wangzhi thought Jiang Yuan was just saying that, but the next day he started to form his core.

Even a grand formation at the Nascent Soul level couldn't conceal the celestial phenomena. Dark clouds, stretching over a thousand miles, gathered in the nearby sea, seemingly pressing down on the surface. Lightning flashed, thunder roared, and torrential rain raged, lasting from morning until night for a full six hours.

Qinghe thought to herself, "My husband said my Core Formation celestial phenomenon was too violent, but his is really scary."

Before Jiangyuan Dan was completed, a large amount of water-based spiritual energy gathered, and the entire area of ​​eight hundred miles covered by the spirit-gathering array was covered with a thick layer of ice, which even extended outside the array.

Keep in mind that this is the South China Sea region, where ice has never formed before. Even the tiger shark was frightened and didn't dare to approach the spirit-gathering array for many days.

After this incident, the venomous snakes on the island were almost wiped out.

As the saying goes, only those who achieve the Golden Elixir are of our generation.

In Jiang Yuan's view, only by forming a golden core can one truly begin the path of immortal cultivation.

In layman's terms, the Golden Core is the solidification of spiritual energy in the dantian. This Golden Core can be raised to the forehead spiritual platform, greatly expanding one's spiritual consciousness space.

The size of one's spiritual consciousness space varies, and it may be one of the standards for testing the quality of a Golden Core. The great cultivator of Tianlong Star wrote about the nine grades of Golden Core formation back then, but he himself was only at the Foundation Establishment stage and couldn't possibly know what a spiritual consciousness space was. Jiang Yuan, however, was very clear that his spiritual consciousness space was only twenty miles long, almost half the size of his previous life. There was no way around it; back then, he was using the reincarnation of the Heavenly River Water Lord, and his fate was different.

The spiritual consciousness space is the most secret thing for cultivators. It is closely connected with the soul and cannot be seen through by any method of spying. Once the spiritual consciousness space is invaded, there is a risk of being possessed or killed by the soul.

During the three days Jiang Yuan spent consolidating his realm, he did only one thing: he broke open the jade pendant and refined the Frost Jade Marrow into his brow and heart.

If left undisguised, a snowflake-shaped mark would appear between her eyebrows, which would look a bit too effeminate!
However, for the sake of cultivation, Jiang Yuan endured it. Whether someone is effeminate or not cannot be judged by their appearance alone; one must look at their methods.

When Jiang Yuan walked out of the stone chamber, Qing He was stunned. Her husband seemed to have grown two inches taller, and his appearance had changed a lot. His skin was as smooth as cream and faintly glowed with a rosy light, like a top-grade elixir. She wanted to swallow him whole!

Qinghe used her Rejuvenating Eyes to look for a long time, and this was her husband's true appearance. If he returned to the Central Plains like this, probably no one would recognize him.

However, that snowflake between her eyebrows was too eye-catching!
Jiang Yuan felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he could only raise his finger and use the Weak Water Technique to cover up the snowflake mark.

Shen Wangzhi and Liu Caiwei came to offer their congratulations, and they were also amazed by Jiang Yuan's appearance, which truly seemed like a complete transformation.

The four had lived in this cave for several years, and for the first time, they prepared a table of food and wine and drank heartily.

These wines were brewed by Cui Qinghe using spiritual plants and herbs during her spare time from cultivation. They are not only delicious, but also have some benefits in improving cultivation.

Shen Wangzhi suggested, "Brother, now that you have achieved the Golden Core stage, why don't we formally establish a sect so that we can have a place to belong?"

Jiang Yuan laughed and said, "Establishing a sect is certainly a good idea, but since you have inherited the mantle of the Nascent Soul senior, it is only right that you take on the role of sect leader."

Shen Wangzhi did indeed have the idea of ​​establishing his own sect, but he never thought that one day he would inherit the mantle of a Nascent Soul cultivator. He used words to test Guan Canghai, which showed that he really wanted to establish a sect.

Shen Wangzhi now looks down on small sects like the Divine Sword Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect. He thinks that if he can produce two Nascent Soul cultivators in the future, it is not impossible to obtain the title of "Sect Master," but Guan Canghai and Cui Qinghe will definitely be indispensable.

Little did he know that Jiang Yuan had no interest in the sect at all, and didn't even want to stay in this realm for long. If possible, he would immediately flee to the Star Sea and find another place to settle down.

Jiang Yuan carefully analyzed the structure of the major sects in the Central Plains. Although each sect was closed off and lacked a core, they all had some foundation. To become a major sect, someone would have to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage.

Those at the Nascent Soul stage cannot leave their caves. Even if there are a few old monsters, they are only a nominal threat. Having a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation level is enough to keep the situation under control.

Those of you here who wish to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage will be doing so for decades to come. However, you should start recruiting disciples with good aptitude now, and you need a better training ground, which is not feasible on this isolated island.

Indeed, apart from the abundance of spiritual energy and the availability of some demonic beasts to hunt, there are no other resources here.

Cui Qinghe, a natural alchemist, only managed to refine three batches of pills in four years, as she simply didn't have a supply of medicinal herbs.

Shen Wangzhi majored in metal and fire elements, and he could not achieve significant development on the sea; he would eventually have to return to the Central Plains.

"Why don't we wait until Sister Liu forms her Golden Core before discussing this matter in detail? There are a few things that urgently need to be dealt with right now."

Hearing Jiang Yuan say this, Shen Wangzhi probably knew that Wan Haiming was really going to be annihilated.

Back then, that guy was high and mighty, shouting, "If these two are to live, then kill the other two first." Shen Wangzhi never thought he would have a chance to survive. He was just making a futile struggle. Who knew that three breaths later, he would be completely shocked by Guan Canghai and his wife!
