A reincarnated girl, who begins by possessing a cultivator.

Su Chun doesn't actually need sword techniques right now; learning too many is useless. The sword techniques that come with the Heavenly Heart Sword Manual are already sufficient.

However, she lacks certain secret techniques, such as escape techniques and techniques to increase her strength.

Of course, Ding Yuqin also had some methods in his memory, but those methods were all matched according to the characteristics of his own cultivation technique. Some could be used, and some could not.

"The Lingxu Step: Instantly consumes a portion of one's own mana to perform a teleportation. The distance and number of teleportations are related to the amount of mana consumed. The more abundant the mana, the farther the teleportation distance and the more times it can be performed. It can break free from the mana bindings of cultivators of the same realm."

After looking around for a while, Su Chun quickly found a secret technique that suited her.

The Lingxu Step might be very difficult for ordinary cultivators to use, because it consumes a portion of their mana instantly.

Each cultivator's mana reserves are different; some may have 100, while others may have 120.

Although Su Chun's cultivation was extremely difficult, her amount of magical power was five times, or even more, that of other cultivators at the same level.

Therefore, this method, which seems to consume a lot of magical power, may have a miraculous effect on her.

Therefore, Su Chun accepted the Lingxu Step.

"The Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array: This array uses five kinds of spirit crystals—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—to create a formation that can simultaneously convert multiple types of magical power. This array seems quite suitable for someone like me with multiple spiritual roots, but it requires spirit crystals of all five elements. Isn't that a bit demanding? I seem to have some wood spirit crystals on me, but where am I going to find the other four?"

This formation surprised and baffled Su Chun, but she felt that she might need it someday, so she accepted it.

Because once she collects all five types of spirit crystals, she will essentially gain the cultivation speed of a single spirit root.

"Blood Spirit Technique: It can absorb the blood of demonic beasts or cultivators of the same realm to accelerate the improvement of cultivation. However, once used, it will cause a bloodlust. If it does not regularly consume blood, its flesh and blood will evaporate until it dies."

This method is clearly a demonic path technique. Although it is very suitable for cultivators like Su Chun who have difficulty cultivating, its drawbacks are too great. Su Chun will not consider it unless absolutely necessary.

"The Yin-Yang Absorption Technique, eh, let's not consider that. I didn't expect the Ancient Sword Sect to have this thing. Wasn't it invented by the Joyful Union Sect?"

Su Chun was speechless for a moment, because Ding Yuqin had this method in her mind, and almost every cultivator in the Hehuan Sect knew it.

Su Chun did not leave the library for several days. It is said that there is a golden house in books, and her idea is right. There are many unorthodox secret techniques in the library of Hidden Sword Peak, and there are quite a few demonic arts as well.

Su Chun accepted everything that she could use, or that she might use.

Unfortunately, no solution has been found to break the deadlock.

But this is quite normal. If the problem of the difficulty in cultivating the Five Elements Spiritual Roots could be solved so easily, then the Five Elements Spiritual Roots would not be useless spiritual roots.

Su Chun was not discouraged, but went to the Tianjian Peak Library again.

"Oh? Isn't this the junior sister who was chosen by Elder Mu a few days ago? How did you end up joining Hidden Sword Peak?"

Many people watched the battle between Su Chun and Zi Yaohua, so when Su Chun arrived at Tianjian Peak, many people recognized her.

Su Chun didn't say much to them, but she didn't ignore them either; at least she responded with a smile.

It's not uncommon for disciples of Hidden Sword Peak to visit the Heavenly Sword Peak Library, since they all know that Hidden Sword Peak's advanced techniques are all located on Heavenly Sword Peak.

After entering the Heavenly Sword Peak Library, the number of books inside is much greater than that of Hidden Sword Peak. After all, it is the main peak. Here, you can find many other methods from the six sects, but they are all ordinary methods.

After searching for a while, Su Chun found an interesting secret technique.

"Divine Consciousness Sword: Those with naturally strong basic soul power can cultivate this technique, which allows them to condense a sword of divine consciousness to attack the enemy's soul."

Su Chun decisively accepted this method, as it was very suitable for a cultivator like her who had lived two lives.

"The Art of Longevity and Immortality? This method is interesting, but unfortunately it's not of any use to me right now. I'll make a note of it; perhaps I'll need it in the future."

Although Tianjian Peak has a larger collection of books, unfortunately, the vast majority of them are still sword techniques and manuals. Higher-level methods require sect contributions to access, and Su Chun, having just joined the Ancient Sword Sect, has no contributions to read them.

So there wasn't much to gain.

After leaving the library at Tianjian Peak, Su Chun went to Qianji Pavilion to ask them to help her reforge her superior-grade magic sword with Xuan Yan, as she really didn't like its previous design.

You can only pick it up a month after you pay.

After finishing these tasks, she returned to her cave to cultivate. According to the rules of the Ancient Sword Sect, newly joined disciples are exempt from three years of sect duties.

Therefore, Su Chun still had time in these three years to find a way to overcome the slowness of his cultivation.

Chapter 55 Core Formation Tribulation

Another three years have passed.

On this day, Su Chun, who was cultivating in his cave, was awakened by a voice.

"Junior Sister, are you there?"

The sound woke Su Chun from her cultivation.

She scanned the area outside the cave with her divine sense and saw it was her seventh senior sister, Yu Nongying. Judging from her expression, it must be something important she needed to talk to.

In the past three years, apart from having some contact with these senior brothers and sisters, Su Chun has basically had no contact with anyone else, and he will not leave the cave unless necessary.

Unfortunately, three years of cultivation did not significantly improve her cultivation level. She would need at least another thirty years to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Over the past three years, she has done her best to improve her cultivation. All the low-level treasures she obtained by picking up corpses in Lingyuan Blessed Land have been sold, and the spirit stones she received have been used to buy cultivation pills.

He was practically penniless. Of course, he still had some treasures beyond the Foundation Establishment level that he could sell, but Su Chun would definitely not part with them unless absolutely necessary.

Su Chun stopped cultivating, opened the cave door, and walked out.

"Seventh Senior Sister, what happened? You seem very anxious."

Yu Nongying was a seemingly lively female cultivator. Because she was a woman, she had more contact with Su Chun.

"Our senior brother's cultivation bottleneck has reached its limit, and he can't hold back any longer. He will form his core in three days at most. We, his fellow disciples, plan to prepare some more methods for him to undergo the tribulation of lightning in these three days, so that he has a greater chance of successfully forming his core."

Upon hearing this, Su Chun immediately closed the cave and followed Yu Nongying to Xie Zhiqi's place.

At this moment, several disciples of Hidden Sword Peak were all here.

It is said that when a faction has many members, the bonds between disciples are weak, while when there are few members, the bonds between disciples are deep.

This is absolutely true.

As soon as Su Chun arrived, he glanced at Xie Zhi Qiu. The aura surging within Xie Zhi Qiu was indeed a sign that he could no longer suppress his cultivation level.

"Junior Sister, you've arrived. I've already told you all that Junior Sister has only been at Hidden Sword Peak for a short time, so why bother her?"

Xie Zhi Qiu first greeted Su Chun, and then scolded Yu Nongying and the others.

"Oh dear! Senior Brother, it's a matter of life and death, why are you saying all this? Junior Sister, I'm straightforward, so I won't waste any more words. Let's pool our resources and prepare more pills and spirit stones for Senior Brother. You can take as much as you can, just consider it a loan. Even if Senior Brother doesn't make it, we'll be responsible for paying you back."

The second brother, Lu Yixin, spoke his mind without hesitation.

The friendship among these people touched Su Chun deeply.

"If that's the case, then I'll do my part."

Su Chun agreed.

As they spoke, the group began to take out their belongings.

Lu Yi directly took out five thousand spirit stones, plus ten Spirit Recovery Pills and one Heavenly Tribulation Pill.

He definitely prepared this Heavenly Tribulation Pill for himself, since he could form his own core at any time. But now that Xie Zhi Qiu couldn't withstand it, he had no choice but to take it out first.

Mei Ruoshui also took out five thousand spirit stones, plus ten Spirit Recovery Pills and one Heavenly Tribulation Pill.

As for the rest of the people, they didn't have any Heavenly Tribulation Pills or as many spirit stones, but they still contributed three thousand spirit stones plus twenty Spirit Recovery Pills.

The table was filled with things, which moved Xie Zhi Qiu deeply.

Don't underestimate these things; they may not represent their entire fortune, but they certainly make up at least half of it.

For an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, having a total of 20,000 is already considered quite a lot.

Because cultivators consume spirit stones and pills every day, their wealth depends entirely on saving up. Unless they encounter a great opportunity, it's only enough for their own use.

After all, not everyone has the luck of Su Chun, who possesses the full value of a peak Core Formation cultivator, plus the opportunities of the Lingyuan Blessed Land.

Finally, it was Su Chun's turn.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Chun took out a small porcelain bottle. He didn't take any spirit stones or treasures, just a pill.

"Junior Sister, what is this?"

Everyone became curious.

Su Chun smiled slightly.

"Senior Brother, please open it and take a look."

Xie Zhi Qiu picked up the porcelain bottle with a puzzled look and opened it. What he saw filled him with shock, because the pills Su Chun had taken out were probably the most valuable ones.

"This...this is the Golden Essence Pill?"

The others were also taken aback when they heard the words "Golden Yuan Pill" and quickly leaned closer to Xie Zhi Qiu for a look.

The Golden Essence Pill is an expensive, high-grade pill specifically designed for cultivators who are breaking through from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation. One pill can condense a layer of magical power on a cultivator's body to resist heavenly lightning. If used at the beginning, it can at least withstand the first three strikes of heavenly lightning.

If it is saved for last, it can at least offset 30% of the power of the Ninth Heavenly Thunder.

With this pill, Xie Zhi Qiu's chances of successfully forming his core will be at least 70%.

"My goodness, it really is a Golden Essence Pill! Junior Sister, how do you have such an expensive pill?"

Lu Yi looked on incredulously.

Su Chun just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Second Junior Brother."

Xie Zhiqi quickly called out to Lu Yi, then shook his head at him.

Lu Yi understood immediately.

"Eh? Sorry, I shouldn't have asked that, but Junior Sister is really generous. This makes us senior brothers and sisters feel ashamed."

Su Chun smiled.

Everyone has their own opportunities.

"Senior brother, I still want to remind you, never give up, and don't be afraid. Think of your fellow senior brothers and sisters, and think of your family. For their sake, you must succeed."

Su Chun gave Xie Zhi Qiu a final, serious reminder.

Xie Zhi Qiu understood Su Chun's meaning.

In the past few days, he has also consulted with the elders in the sect who have reached the Core Formation stage regarding matters of Core Formation. With the help of his eight junior brothers and sisters, if he still cannot form a Core, then it can only be said that he is destined to be unlucky in forming a Core.

"I understand. I have already borrowed a lot of treasures from the sect, and with the sect's formation, I believe I will definitely succeed."
