Chapter 155: Chapter 62: Sacrifice for Guagua (Double-Length)

Guagua hasn’t returned yet, but Jiang Li has arrived first.

The reason Qi Yuan could leave so easily was naturally because Jiang Li, for Li Jizhou’s sake, had long since destroyed the agreement they had previously signed.

After years of stimulation from the Waterfall Pills, Jiang Li could feel her magical power breaking through the barrier of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment more with each use, greatly increasing her expectations.

However, each time, Li Jizhou altered the appearance of the Waterfall Pills to feed them to her, even masking the scent with various herbs.

Jiang Li naturally had no idea what medicine Li Jizhou was using.

Yet she didn’t care much—trust the person you use, and don’t use the person you distrust. Ever since she first confirmed Zhang Ruoyu’s identity with Qi Yuan, and later verified Zhang Ruoyu’s character and history through spies in the mainland, she never judged a noble heart with a petty mind again.

After all, if a big figure suspected to be hiding his cultivation surpassing the True Core level in the Golden Sun Sect really intended to harm her, would he need to resort to tricks?

Li Jizhou once again examined her physical condition and estimated that it wouldn’t be long before he could fully activate her Water Spirit Body.

This time, it was time to make things clear.

“After years of observation and deduction, I have basically figured out your issue. Today, I need to explain it to you.” Li Jizhou came straight to the point.

Over the years, as her cultivation improved after each treatment, Jiang Li had grown increasingly trusting and reliant on Li Jizhou, so she would not refuse even half a word.

“Please speak plainly, elder. I will follow all your instructions!”

“The reason you can’t break through the middle stage of Foundation Establishment is due to your constitution, which is a rare Innate Spiritual Body. I’ve determined this after consulting numerous ancient texts.”

“Innate Spiritual Body?” Jiang Li’s eyes widened in surprise and disbelief.

“Indeed, you possess the Innate Water Spirit Body, the seventh-ranked water attribute constitution recorded since ancient times. It provides many benefits to cultivating water attribute techniques but also has a significant drawback.

Upon reaching a certain level, you must fully activate your physical body to continue progressing, otherwise, you’ll never advance again in your life.

This kind of constitution, if not recognized and artificially intervened early on, always results in such an outcome.

Luckily…” Li Jizhou left the sentence hanging, nodding deeply.

“Luckily, I met you, elder, or my life would be doomed to stagnation.” Jiang Li immediately knelt on the ground, deeply in accordance.

She felt a wave of fear.

If she truly couldn’t advance in her life, she wouldn’t be able to face her uncles and brothers on Linglong Island alive, nor her father who had pinned all his hopes on her after death.

“Now that we understand your problem, we need to talk about a transaction.” Li Jizhou said again.

“Elder’s great kindness and virtue, I will never forget. How could you use the word ’transaction’? Please feel free to speak plainly, elder, and as long as it’s within my means, I will have no objection!” Jiang Li said resolutely.

Li Jizhou chuckled and waved his hand: “There’s no need for that. I prefer clear-cut transactions over human bonds—no debts, no attachments.”

Jiang Li paused slightly, finding Li Jizhou’s approach exceptionally agreeable.

“I’ll listen to the elder!”

“Aside from its greatest drawback, the Water Spirit Body has numerous benefits. Once fully activated, your ability to absorb and refine water spiritual qi from the world will drastically increase, and when you reach Core Formation, you might receive the approval of heaven and earth, making immortality possible!”

“Form an Immortal Golden Core?” Jiang Li’s heart shook.

In the Sea Domain of the Five Elders Association over a thousand years, only the direct line of the Han family on the main island has produced a True Core Master every few generations, which counts as the top of the domain.

Her previous goal was only to form a Fake Pill at least, which could protect the ancestral inheritance of Linglong Island.

But now, Li Jizhou was actually telling her about the legendary Immortal Golden Core!

The hurdle of forming the Core, as long as you can normally form a True Core, there’s hope to pursue the Nascent Soul realm.

A Golden Core is the seed of Nascent Soul and has a high probability of achieving Nascent Soul.

As for the Immortal Golden Core, it’s said that once formed, there’s already a 60% chance of achieving Nascent Soul!

“Exactly!” Li Jizhou nodded slightly.

Jiang Li forcibly swallowed a gulp of saliva, continuing to wait for Li Jizhou’s next words.

“Additionally, as long as you maintain your Primordial Yin, after Core Formation you might give birth to a strange postnatal spiritual object within, named Jadescent Nectar. This nectar is useless to you, but it has miraculous effects on others. I wish to trade for this.” Li Jizhou stated bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li pondered slightly, linking the maintenance of Primordial Yin with the Jadescent Nectar. After all, she was in her forties, and having spent these years associating with Qi Yuan as sisters and reading her collection of treasured tales, her face flushed slightly.

Instinctively, she wanted to ask how to extract the Jadescent Nectar, but she restrained herself in the end.

“Rest assured, elder, I promise to maintain my Primordial Yin before you retrieve it!” With that, Jiang Li made a heart demon oath before Li Jizhou could say anything.

“That is excellent!” Li Jizhou nodded in satisfaction.

After completing the treatment for her, he specifically warned Jiang Li before she left not to disclose the matter of her constitution to anyone, and informed her of another peculiarity of the Water Spirit Body,

Before forming the Core, if a male cultivator attempts to dual cultivate with her by extracting her Primordial Yin, it is possible her Spirit Body could be seized, causing endless harm.

Hearing these words, Jiang Li once more revered Zhang Ruoyu’s character, grateful she encountered him, for the consequences with someone else would be unimaginable.

After Jiang Li left, Guagua cautiously slipped into the courtyard.

Li Jizhou sensed the surroundings and nodded.

In two years, the late stage of Tier Two was nearly perfected.
