Forming the Golden Core (2)

“If we knew that you were so good at alchemy, we wouldn’t have sent people to the state of Yu and the state of Gang.”
Obviously, in the past, if they wanted pills above Level 4, they had to go to the state of Yu or Gang to get it.
Furthermore, the people who could travel such a long distance could not be ordinary cultivators. They had to be Golden Core cultivators.
In that case, it would undoubtedly waste a lot of time going back and forth.
It was not worth it, but they had no choice.
If Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s alchemy was really as high as Jiang Chengxuan said, they wouldn’t need to travel so far in the future when they needed pills like the Core Formation Pill.
Thinking of this, Hou Dongbai immediately nodded at Jiang Chengxuan.
“I can agree to your request. However, I still have to discuss it with my senior brothers before giving you an accurate answer.”
Actually.
Hou Dongbai’s words basically meant that this matter was already decided.
The reason why he did not give a definite answer was probably because he wanted to tell the other Golden Core elders first to avoid giving them the impression that he was arbitrary.
Jiang Chengxuan expressed his understanding.
Before long, Hou Dongbai returned with an affirmiative answer for Jiang Chengxuan.
Next, the two of them discussed in relative detail what might happen.
After a long time, Jiang Chengxuan left the Jade Water Sword Pavilion.
When he returned to the Xuanming Peak, he realized that Shen Ruyan had returned before him.
“How is it? Husband, is everything going well?”
Seeing that Jiang Chengxuan was back, Shen Ruyan asked with a smile.
Jiang Chengxuan smiled and nodded.
“Yes, everything went quite smoothly.
“By the way, how are things on your side? From the looks of it, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?”
“It went without a hitch.”
Shen Ruyan smiled.
“The Heavenly Yue Sect has already agreed to our request…”
Then, the couple chatted,
After a while.
Jiang Chengxuan said, “Now, we just have to give Fifth Granduncle enough time and wait.
If it’s fast, it’ll take half a year. If it’s slow, it’ll take three years. There should be a result soon.
Let’s hope everything goes well for him.”
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, Shen Ruyan’s expression turned solemn.
She looked in the direction of Mount Hyan and nodded slightly.
“Let’s hope that Fifth Granduncle will succeed.”
Just as the couple was talking to each other, Shen Yuanlong, who was far away in Mount Hyan, had already arranged everything in the family. Then, he entered his cave abode and began to enter seclusion.
This seclusion lasted for more than two years.
On this day.
Shen Daoming, Shen Baifei, Shen Rushuang, Xu Qian, and the four Violet Palace cultivators of the Shen family were discussing something in the meeting hall.
At this moment, they suddenly felt the spiritual Qi in the entire Mount Hyan begin to fluctuate rapidly, and it quickly headed towards the cave abode where Shen Yuanlong was in seclusion.
This made them immediately realize something, and they could not help but reveal excited expressions.
Soon, the four of them arrived not far from Shen Yuanlong’s cave abode.
Looking at the surging spiritual Qi, Shen Daoming and the other three could not help but be shocked.
Is this the commotion when a cultivator breaks through to the Golden Core?
Compared to breaking through to the Violet Palace, the commotion is countless times greater.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a huge pillar of spiritual Qi fell, rushing into the cave abode where Shen Yuanlong was.
A spiritual pressure that was completely different from the Violet Palace instantly spread out from Shen Yuanlong’s cave abode, forcing back Shen Daoming and the others not far away. One day, two days, five days…
Five days passed.
In Shen Yuanlong’s cave abode, the spiritual pressure became stronger and stronger.
However, it was at this moment that the amount of spiritual Qi gathered around suddenly began to decrease.
This made the expressions of Shen Daoming and the others, who were guarding further away, immediately change.
“Not good!
Our current spiritual vein is only at Level 3. I’m afraid it can’t power Granduncle with enough spiritual Qi to break through to the Golden Core Realm!””
“So what do we do now?”
Shen Daoming and the others revealed anxious and uneasy expressions.
If Shen Yuanlong failed to break through to the Golden Core because there was simply not enough spiritual Qi, that would be a pity..
Fortunately, two figures suddenly appeared in front of them.
It was Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan who had sensed the commotion and rushed over.
“Chengxuan, Ruyan.”
Seeing the two of them, Shen Daoming and the others involuntarily heaved a sigh of relief.
Shen Daoming went forward and said to the two of them anxiously,
“Look, Granduncle is in a critical moment. What should we do?”
“Brother, don’t worry.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan gave Shen Daoming a reassuring look.
Then, Shen Ruyan took out hundreds of shining spiritual stones from her body.
This spiritual stone was completely different from the spiritual stones they usually used.
Not only was its entire body flickering with spiritual light, but just the spiritual Qi emitted from its surface made the Dharmic power in the bodies of Shen Daoming and the other Violet Palace cultivators show signs of circulating on their own, wanting to absorb the spiritual Qi contained in the spiritual stones.
“Ruyan, these are…?”
Shen Daoming and the others were a little surprised.
Shen Ruyan smiled and said, “Brother, these spiritual stones are high-grade spiritual stones.
With these, the spiritual Qi that Fifth Granduncle needs to form his Golden Core will definitely be enough.”
“High-grade spiritual stones?”
Although they had already guessed it, they were still shocked when they heard it from Shen Ruyan.
As everyone knew, the grades of spiritual stones were divided into four: low, mid, high, and top.
Most of the spiritual stones people used daily were low-grade spiritual stones.
Only when using special things like teleportation arrays, Mountain-protecting Arrays, and treasure ships above Level 3 would they need to use mid-grade spiritual stones.
As for high-grade spiritual stones…
To be honest, this was the first time they had seen it.
After all, strictly speaking, such spiritual stones were exclusively possessed by Nascent Soul Perfected Lords.
It was also a currency used by Nascent Soul Perfected Lords.
After all, after reaching the Nascent Soul realm, the purity of the spiritual Qi in low-grade spiritual stones and mid-grade spiritual stones was no longer enough to support their cultivation.
Only spiritual stones above high-grade could be absorbed and used by them.
The top spiritual stones Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan took out came from the ruins they explored previously.
As for top-grade spiritual stones that were even more precious, they were even rarer, only circulating among Soul Formation Heavenly Lords.
It rarely appeared in the world.
At this moment.
After Shen Ruyan took out the high-grade spiritual stones, she immediately used them to set up a spirit gathering barrier around Shen Yuanlong’s cave abode.
In an instant, the spiritual Qi that had already thinned around the cave abode became dense again.
Moreover, this time, the purity of the spiritual Qi was more than ten times better than before.
Buzz!
Instantly, a large amount of spiritual Qi surged into Shen Yuanlong’s cave abode.
As time passed, the aura spread out of Shen Yuanlong’s cave abode became more and more condensed.
Half a month later.
The sky above everyone’s heads suddenly darkened.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked at each other.
Just like how they had guessed.
A figure quickly flew out of Shen Yuanlong’s cave abode, heading straight out of Mount Hyan in the blink of an eye.
Who else could this figure be but Shen Yuanlong, who had already successfully formed his Gold Core?
