Chapter 586: 185 Danger of Eight-Turn Golden Core, Ten Monarchs Immortal City_1
A month later.
Representatives from the Wanbao Commerce Association and Jing Family, both hold the respectability of a True Monarch in the Nascent Soul Realm, personally approached to apologize with generous gifts. Unfortunately, they did not get to see Su Yu, as they were intercepted by Lin Qingxia.
The generous gifts were accepted, and the visitors were politely seen off.
The matter was considered settled, as long as the two parties did not make any further transgressions.
After all, Su Yu only wanted a safe and peaceful operation at the black market for his Elixir Pavilion, and was gradually accummulating Spirit Stones and other high-grade materials for his own teleportation formation.
He had no intention of causing a ruckus, since it would not be beneficial for his slow accumulation of Spirit Stones.
Two years later.
One clear morning.
Inside a secret chamber.
Sitting cross-legged at the center of the room, Su Yu was enveloped by a barrier-sphere that resembled a cocoon. His body remained rigid, not moving an inch. The Golden Cicada Technique was roiling in his mind, leaving his Divine Sense in peace and tranquility.
Simultaneously, Su Yu applied the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law, as power from Five Elements manifested around him. He gradually comprehended the principles and methods of the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law.
Throughout this enlightening process, the power of Five Elements from heaven and earth slowly absorbed into his body, refining the Golden Core in his Dantian using the Dao power of the Five Elements.
This continued for more than two hours.
“Buzz!”
Suddenly,
space seemed to ripple and vibrate. Su Yu’s aura underwent a drastic change as an unparalleled celestial might suddenly converged upon him, revealing the extraordinary phenomena of the Five Elements.
A world of Five Elements conjured up from Su Yu, radiant with celestial light from the Five Elements.
“Screech!”
“Roar!”
“Buzz!”
The foundation stone of the Dao of the Five Elements materialized to show True Spirits: the Divine Phoenix, Gengjin Dao Sword, Sunlight Spirit Water, Thick Earth Land, and a massive tree that towered into the heavens.
At this moment, the celestial might from Su Yu’s plane of Five Elements could challenge any ordinary True Monarch in the Nascent Soul Realm.
In his Dantian, the originally abstract eighth Golden Core Rune mark had turned fully tangible at this moment, deeply imprinted on the Golden Core.
Su Yu’s Golden Core had transformed to an eighth-grade Golden Core!
If one were to say that when Su Yu had a seventh-grade Golden Core, his strength in the Dao of the Five Elements could only be considered an ‘imitation realm’, unequivalent to a true Nascent Soul Realm’s realm,
Then now, beneath the eighth-grade Golden Core, the celestial might from his Dao of the Five Elements was truly comparable to a True Monarch in the Nascent Soul Realm.
A complete transformation.
After everything returned to calm and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth resumed tranquility, Su Yu slowly opened his eyes. The delight in his eyes was uncontrollable as he examined the changes in the mana within his Dantian.
Especially sensing the radiant celestial might from the eighth-grade Golden Core, he took a deep breath, murmuring, “No wonder all major factions seek remarkable geniuses with an abundance of talent to raise as Dao Children, the gap in the Golden Core foundation is truly huge!”
With his current cultivation at the eighth rank of the Core Formation Realm, and a Golden Core of the eighth grade,
Su Yu was confident that with only his own mana and common Spells, he could challenge a Nascent Soul Realm True Monarch, even overpower or cause the latter to retreat.
All of this was merely at the eighth rank of Core Formation, with an eighth-grade Golden Core.
What if he advanced to the ninth rank and had a ninth-grade Golden Core!?
“I might truly be deserving of the title ‘Unrivaled at Core Formation’, unless the opponent also has a ninth-grade Golden Core. But apart from the foundation, I also have techniques of space and time,” Su Yu contemplated.
Thus, even facing supreme talents with ninth-grade Golden Cores, his combat prowess may still tip the balance in his favor.
With this in mind, Su Yu thought of the Dao Child from the Wanxian Palace who possessed the Ice Feather Spiritual Body.
Did he remain at seventh-grade Golden Core, or had he also advanced to eighth-grade Golden Core?
Advancing to the eighth-grade Golden Core was no trivial task.
After some thought, Su Yu shook his head to dismiss his thoughts. What was the use of thinking about it? He had already forged an eighth-grade Golden Core. Regardless, he was now one step closer to his goal—completing his ultimate Foundation at the ninth-grade Golden Core.
Reading ancient records from the Immortal Gate years ago, it is known that the world of cultivation in Daqian had not seen any talents of seventh-grade Golden Core or higher.
Not to mention a ninth-grade Golden Core.
Even during the Ancient Era of cultivation, the ninth-grade Golden Core was an extremely rare, monstrous existence!
At this moment, he was merely one step away from this level.
Once Su Yu regained his composure, he resumed his daily cultivation. After he was finished, he glanced at his proficiency chart. The proficiency level of the Five Elements Method had significantly improved.
[Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Method (Core Formation Realm, Rank Eight, Proficiency 74.58%).]
“Estimatedly, it will take only another five or six years to reach the ninth rank of the Core Formation Realm,” Su Yu murmured to himself.
After finishing his cultivation, Su Yu began his alchemy work for the day, producing another batch of First-Class, Grade Four Beast Yuan Pills.
Five pills were produced in one batch, every single one being of perfect quality!
After years of accumulating alchemical experience, Su Yu was highly proficient in producing First-Class, Grade Four Beast Yuan Pills, and could consistently produce pills of perfect quality.
His proficiency in producing other types of Grade Four Elixirs were marginally less, but yet he could consistently produce premium quality pills, with at least six or seven success rates out of ten attempts.
His skill in Alchemy had greatly improved.
Over the years, nearly a quarter of the tens of thousands of third-grade and fourth-grade elixir materials that he had spent several hundreds of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones on were already consumed.
Putting aside the Elixirs that he had sold throughout these years, his inventory was amassing more than twenty thousand third-grade Elixirs, and nearly five thousand fourth-grade Elixirs.
The number of mid-grade Spirit Stones he had accumulated had again crossed a million.
