Chapter 191: Chapter 93: Revealing a Secret

No matter if Ye Jingyu today acts this way because of his Heart Demon Vow or genuinely has the welfare of the common people at heart and acts with passionate determination.

At least, when he was recognized by Purple Sky True Monarch back then, he must have harbored good intentions and taken protecting the common people as his duty.

The greatest of heroes serve the nation and the people; the hero among immortals protects the common people.

However, his numerous tragic encounters later would inevitably have affected his mental state.

If one didn’t know about Ye Jingyu’s past experiences, just judging by Ye Jingyu’s appearance and attire, they might think he was referring to himself when he mentions the Demon Dao.

Li Jizhou took the Jade Talisman thrown to him, explored it slightly, and felt a slight stir in his heart.

One is the Divine Intent Sect’s secret technique “Carefree Travel,” which has only three levels, corresponding to Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, and Core Formation.

The other is Yan Kingdom’s Nascent Soul power Carefree Palace’s “Carefree Skill,” which only has one level, corresponding to Nascent Soul, and even includes a Nascent Soul condensation secret technique.

“Is Ye Jingyu truly so forthright? Trusting me this much?” In an instant, Li Jizhou held Ye Jingyu in higher regard.

In the grand scheme of the cultivation world, there are probably not many like Ye Jingyu.

“You need not doubt, this is both to buy your Tier Three Advanced Talismans quickly and to repay you for the favor of saving Yutong!” Ye Jingyu said casually, seeing the change in Li Jizhou’s expression.

Li Jizhou’s lips curled into a subtle smile, “Have you been back?”

“When the Golden Corpse emerged, I went back and saw Yutong!”

“…” Li Jizhou secretly admired; when the Golden Corpse emerged, all major sects stayed away from the disaster, yet he returned.

At that time, he probably hadn’t formed his Core yet.

“Have you investigated the matter of Spirit Veins nourishing corpses?” Li Jizhou’s heart stirred; the matter of Spirit Veins nourishing corpses in the Southern Domain was something he dared not delve deeply into, but the person before him seemed bold.

“It must be the work of the Demon Dao! I have already found that one of the nine sects of the Demon Dao is the Divine Corpse Dao, and it certainly lies within the Southern Domain range. I once tracked the Golden Corpse from afar… But with my current strength, I’m still no match for a Great Success Golden Corpse!” Ye Jingyu squinted his eyes and said.

“Is a single Great Success Golden Corpse truly so formidable? If the Demon Dao is nourishing a Golden Corpse under the main vein of every cultivation country in the Southern Domain, wouldn’t it…” Li Jizhou seemed to suddenly realize, his face showing a trace of fear.

“Humph, when I achieve complete Core Formation, I will surely slay the corpse… Hmm? What do you mean? Under the main vein of each cultivation country in the Southern Domain…” Ye Jingyu’s face changed halfway through his speech.

Li Jizhou shook his head, remaining silent.

Ye Jingyu’s gaze changed for a moment, then he turned and headed deep into the Fire Domain.

This time, Li Jizhou saw clearly that Ye Jingyu went straight to the third level, even without reducing speed, ultimately entering the fourth level of the Fire Domain.

Whether he went further, he did not know.

The black Nether Flame in the fourth level of the Fire Domain has the effect of shielding Divine Soul detection, even the life-span sensing of the annual rings is ineffective.

“Could he have coincidentally cultivated some sort of flame body?” Li Jizhou clicked his tongue in amazement.

He was quite apprehensive about the Fire Domain before him.

All things in the world appear not without reason and do not perish without cause; everything has an origin.

Although it exists for quite a long time, it can be confirmed that it is not a natural creation.

However, he had already let Bai Yi sense it.

The power of the flames here is intense, yet no Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire has been birthed.

Even those visible flames do not belong to the category of True Flame, all akin to Dead Fire.

Subsequently, he let Bai Yi burn the cultivation technique Jade Talisman given by Ye Jingyu once through, without any anomaly, and without wasting the Teleportation Talisman, escaped by flight.

“I wonder if Ye Jingyu can unravel the secret of nurturing corpses with Spirit Veins?”

“Will he perish halfway?”

Ye Jingyu spoke correctly, relying on major figures from the Central Domain for the calamity of the Southern Domain’s cultivation world cannot be relied upon.

Just as years ago, the Qi Kingdom’s cultivation world suffered a Golden Corpse calamity, nearly collapsing.

Many years have passed, and no major figure from the Central Domain has taken action.

Throughout the Southern Domain, Yan Kingdom and Wei Kingdom are large cultivation countries, and the only ones currently possessing Tier Four Spirit Veins and Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

And none of them attended to the calamity in Qi Kingdom.

“However, Ye Jingyu may not yet possess such strength!” With a sigh, Li Jizhou stopped thinking about it and returned to Liuyun City.

The next step is very clear and very crucial.

With his middle grade Spirit Root talent, if he fails to form his Golden Core, he might be stuck at the Early Stage of Core Formation for life, unable to advance.

Forming a Core for a cultivator is somewhat easier compared to a Demon Beast condensing a Demon Pill, requiring first to shatter the Demon Core before condensing a Demon Pill,

but instead, it follows the Celestial Dao, Dharma Liquid crystallizes,

further refining the surging liquid Magical Power of the Foundation Establishment Stage, solidifying it into a solid Core!

On the day of Core completion, his strength will experience a qualitative leap.

However, the step of Core Formation, due to various factors, will result in different Core Formation qualities.

The worst results in a Fake Pill, and if unable to refine Magical Power, one will be stuck on the path for life.

Then there is the True Core, also called the True Core, which ninety-nine percent of cultivators aim for.

Achieving True Core allows one to continue absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, refining Magical Power, solidifying the Core, and accruing for breaking the Core to form a Nascent Soul.

However, upon reaching this step, the qualitative change in a Magical Core means absorbing Spiritual Qi becomes vast and deep, and those naturally low in Spirit Roots may not provide enough for transformation, fearing exhaustion in five hundred years, unable to break through the Early Stage of Core Formation, as True Core provides no assistance in absorbing Spiritual Qi.

Yet if one forms the Golden Core,

The Golden Core resonates with Heaven and Earth, naturally absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, even surpassing Celestial Spirit Root in absorbing speed.

As long as the mental state does not collapse, it can almost guarantee passage to the Late Stage of Golden Core.

This is why the Golden Core is said to be the seed of Nascent Soul.

Of course, the highest quality of Core Formation also has a kind, which is the Immortal Golden Core!

Calling it one kind is not accurate; it should be said that this is the highest level of Golden Core.

When forming the Immortal Golden Core, as compared to Golden Core, it receives Heaven and Earth imprint as proof of immortality!

If one forms the Immortal Golden Core, Nascent Soul is almost without surprise.

However, the Immortal Golden Core, the latest records are still in ancient times.

Nearly a lost song!

Li Jizhou’s goal this life is the Golden Core, even if it is the lowest Golden Core.

As for immortality, he dares not hope for it in this life! Unless in the next life with above Celestial Spirit Root, then he could contend for it.

Returning to Taobao Pavilion, Li Jizhou emerged from the underground led by Guagua and then withdrew the Illusionary Truth Talisman, came to the shop outside to show his face.

Guo Ruoyu has been diligent for eleven years, long promoted by Li Jizhou to Chief Shopkeeper, with a monthly salary raised to three hundred Spirit Stones.

Taobao Pavilion has been promoted to a Tier Four shop four years ago, and the number of employees can be expanded to ten.

Now Guo Ruoyu leads nine employees and is already proficient in business, gradually understanding those inexplicable tricks by Li Jizhou initially.

The shop is orderly inside, people coming and going do not appear chaotic in the slightest.

After eleven years of accumulation and precipitation, it is about time to start further explosive growth.

However, Li Jizhou plans to say more after his Core Formation,

The harvests from this trip were ample, temporarily no need to worry about lacking Spirit Stones.

Having shown his face, Li Jizhou continued back to the second courtyard and activated the Protective Array.

Alchemist Xue’s Tier Three Alchemy Dao inheritance,

The Divine Soul cultivation method given by Ye Jingyu,

These are Li Jizhou’s main studies for the next period.

——–

Two years later,

“Carefree Travel is indeed the sect-guarding technique of Divine Intent Sect, its effect on forging spirit is so overbearing!”

Based on Li Jizhou’s Divine Sense, which originally approached the Middle Stage of Core Formation, plus five percent from a previous life, rehearing “Carefree Travel,” in just two years, his Divine Sense surged, already touching the threshold of the Late Stage of Core Formation.

If given a few more years, achieving perfection in the completion of three levels of Carefree Travel, it truly could step across a major realm compared to ordinary cultivators.

But this is already sufficient for Li Jizhou to refine Crystal Condensing Pills, stopping temporarily.

And Alchemist Xue’s Tier Three Pill Master inheritance, it surprisingly parallels the one and two tier inheritance quality obtained in his previous life, within two years has already successfully upgraded to a Tier Three Middle Level Pill Master, able to refine Crystal Condensing Pills.

However, the biggest surprise is Bai Yi.

Two years ago after returning from the Fire Domain, it then fell into slumber.

Having soaked in the dense Eternal Spring Magical Power within Li Jizhou’s Dantian for two years, it awakened a few days ago, surprisingly successfully advanced to a Tier Three Fire Spirit!

Its white flames have faded three more degrees, yet its power has greatly risen.
