Chapter 666: Golden Core (4200+ added)

"This time, I will definitely succeed in condensing the core!"

For some reason, a thought surfaced in Aaron's mind.

In this moment of sudden inspiration, he hurriedly swallowed the third "Duer Pill" and began his seclusion to form the Golden Core.

Three years later.

Qianyang City was no different from any other day.

Around Aaron's Cave Abode, abnormal fluctuations of Spirit Qi suddenly appeared.

Aaron had finished thinking and re-entered his cultivation.

Aaron washed up simply, then swept his gaze toward the Attribute Panel:

【Name: Fang Yu (Aaron)】

【Martial Arts:......】

Inside the Cave Abode.

Even in Great Gan, a Golden Core Cultivator is considered middle-to-high level; the appearance of a new Golden Core Cultivator often signifies many things.

At this moment, the fluctuations carried by this Spirit Tool even exceeded the limit of a Top-tier Magical Tool!

Aaron stroked the Black Tortoise sculpture on the Black Jade Seal, estimating that although this Spirit Tool was not yet a Dharma Treasure, it was not far off, and could fully be used as a semi-Dharma Treasure for the time being.

【Skills:...... Third-tier Jade Bone (1/10000), Second-tier Talisman Making (1000/1000), Second-tier Artifact Refining (1000/1000), Third-tier Alchemy (792/10000), First-tier Array Formation (100/100)】

From the perspective of Aaron's current Golden Core level, the Black Sun Demon Fire, while troublesome, was not impossible to deal with.

【Talent: Immortality】

Just as the cultivators belonging to different factions were busy, the loose cultivators in the city, who were usually mediocre, stared blankly in the direction where the Golden Core phenomenon appeared, their faces filled with intense jealousy, envy, and despondency......

Following that, he continued his seclusion and finally succeeded in forming the Golden Core in one go!

On a sheet of white paper, the past experiences of "Shen Fei" were clearly recorded, even including backups of the talismans he had sold, which fell into a jade-white palm.

A loose cultivator from the Far West, a second-tier Talisman Master...... originally self-built his Foundation Establishment, then made a living selling talismans in Qianyang City...... at the grand Auction House, he threw out all his assets to auction two Duer Pills, and then followed a long, arduous seclusion, only coming out once during the period, and he was already at the False Core cultivation level!

"Counting the days, I have been nurturing this Spirit Tool for over two hundred and fifty years...... Spirit Tools are known as 'small Dharma Treasures'...... How could an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator nurture one for over two hundred and fifty years?"

A cultivation level at the early stage of Golden Core, in the Far West, could even occupy a country and establish a sect.

"I deliberately let the Shen Fei persona come forward to reveal a False Core cultivation level...... just to pave the way for this moment......"

Aaron opened his eyes, and the spiritual light in them shot out, reaching several feet!

That is to say, it is somewhat unrealistic to rely on the power of the Demon Fire to slaughter cultivators of the same rank like cutting melons and vegetables as he did during Foundation Establishment.

"Quick...... go notify the Pavilion Master!"

"However...... ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators don't have my lifespan to play like this......"

In terms of cultivation techniques, Aaron's Mingyu Art can be practiced until the late stage of Golden Core, so there is no need to consider that for now.

"After ordinary loose cultivators form a Golden Core, they will be recruited by various parties...... and they often join some Nascent Soul factions to obtain better development prospects."

"Counting on my fingers, this time for the sake of forming the Golden Core, I spent a total of over one hundred and forty years, nearly one hundred and fifty years of time...... if I count the previous preparations...... tsk tsk...... the lifespan of the Foundation Establishment stage is really not enough to spend......"

"This is...... a Golden Core phenomenon?!"

"A cultivator has successfully formed a Golden Core!?"

After all, there are many impoverished Golden Core Cultivators, especially loose cultivators, who have spent all their savings on forming the Golden Core, only to succeed by luck and find that they have no Spirit Stones to refine a Natal Magical Treasure.

"And as a Golden Core Cultivator, the most important thing is to refine a Natal Magical Treasure that can be stored in the body for nurturing...... After all, after forming the Golden Core, ordinary spells are basically of little use; killing enemies relies on the Natal Magical Treasure and the divine abilities to overcome the enemy!"

"With this seal in hand, my combat power is completely at the level of an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator...... besides that, I am still missing a divine ability spell to overcome the enemy!"

But in Great Gan? It's just so-so!

Aaron's expression was calm, without sorrow or joy, and he began to consider more realistic problems:

【Age: 657】

The owner of this palm was a female cultivator in white with sword-like eyebrows, who also happened to have Golden Core cultivation; she was a Golden Core Deacon of the Shushan Sword Pavilion in Qianyang City, known as "Baifeng Xianzi"!

"Dangerous...... too dangerous...... if I had been a few years slower, I would have ended up exhausting my lifespan and passing away."

"After all, it is a Golden Core, although it cannot compare to the Golden Cores cultivated by the sect itself, it can still receive a certain amount of attention......"

"I still need to find a means to kill an opponent of the same rank in one blow, otherwise I have no sense of security......"

"Report the news to the Building Master immediately!"

The sky turned dark, and the Spirit Qi seemed to form a funnel, crazily gathering in the direction of his seclusion.

【Spells:...... Blood Burning Escape Technique (100/100)】

【Cultivation Technique: Mingyu Art 14th Layer (1/10000)】

The background of a newly promoted Golden Core Cultivator is investigated in detail by various forces, so it is naturally easy to find the truth.

This is quite comfortable......

Cultivators trapped in the early or middle stages of Golden Core for a hundred or several hundred years are also everywhere.

Fortunately, what Aaron is best at is spending time in arduous cultivation.

"Whether it is cultivation techniques, spiritual objects, or divine ability spells...... in fact, they can all be obtained from one place, and that is...... the sect! Or rather...... a major power!"

And the background of "Shen Fei" can be considered clean and clear.

Thinking of this, Aaron flicked his finger.

"If a person has no long-term worries, they will have near-term troubles; I must think about the cultivation problems after forming the Golden Core......"

It took a full seven days for him to barely familiarize himself with the Golden Core's Dharma Power and completely stabilize his realm. He stood up abruptly, his eyes becoming as warm as jade: "Golden Core...... hehe...... it's not that difficult......"

Once the True Essence of Foundation Establishment is highly condensed, forming a Golden Core becomes a matter of course.

Around him, there were terrifying fluctuations of Dharma Power; this was the aura of a Golden Core Cultivator spilling outward!

【Realm: Golden Core Early-stage】

"It seems... this Golden Core Cultivator named Shen Fei must have decent aptitude; he reached Foundation Establishment Mid-stage at a young age, then went into seclusion for one hundred and fifty years to achieve Golden Core... he is a practitioner dedicated to bitter cultivation."

The outside world.

The Black Jade Seal within his dantian emerged, following his Meridians.

"After coming out of seclusion, I am the Golden Core Cultivator Shen Fei... this alias can still be used, and its background is explained. I can continue to linger in Qianyang City for another three hundred years..."

After reaching Golden Core, the Spirit Medicine and Spirit Pill suitable for a cultivator to use decrease sharply; one really can only rely on the accumulation of bitter cultivation over time to increase Dharma Power.

"Then, I will wait a few more years to see who comes to recruit me, and then I will hold out for a better price..."

Beside Baifeng Xianzi sat a disheveled old beggar, who was gulping down wine from a red-skinned gourd; hearing this, he shook his head repeatedly: "Junior Sister thinks highly of this person? I, however, feel this person is taking too great a risk..."

"A Loose Cultivator... isn't that just how one has to struggle? This indomitable momentum and rigid personality are quite compatible with the path of us Sword Cultivators, but unfortunately... he has already chosen the path of a Dharma Cultivator." Baifeng Xianzi sighed: "However... he succeeded after all, and the victor is king... then let us send a congratulatory letter, and at the same time, probe the other party's intentions."
