Chapter 71: Golden Core Great Dao Scripture

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.

Elder Feng and Miao Hongjian arrived at the Sect Master’s hall of the Immortal Mountain to meet Sect Master Yang Li.

They reported to Yang Li about Qi Ming.

“Qi Ming…” Yang Li pondered, “I have some impression of him. I’ve indeed met him once.”

“He cultivated the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture in a month. He’s a good seedling. Who could have expected this? Continue paying attention and don’t interfere too much.”

“I’ll naturally be able to test his true potential in the legacy competition ten years later.”

“Yes.”

“Yes, Sect Master.”

Miao Hongjian and Elder Feng looked at each other and nodded gently.

…

The scene changed.

In the Falling Cloud Cave Abode.

Ding!

“You have been AFK Farming the game dungeon of the Shu Mountain Demon Subduing Pagoda for a day. You have cleared the game dungeon once. You have obtained: Golden Core Great Dao Scripture and 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones.”

Item: Golden Core Great Dao Scripture.

Introduction: A secret technique of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. Shu Mountain worships the Three Pure Ones. This is the most basic and top-grade cultivation method scripture of the Three Pure Ones. It can be used to refine the Connate Purity Great Dao Golden Core.

“Good stuff.” Qi Ming smiled, “Although I haven’t started cultivating, I can tell from the introduction that this is definitely a supreme Core Formation technique. It can definitely condense a ninth-grade Golden Core.”

“I was originally vexed because I did not have a Core Formation cultivation method and could not continue to increase my cultivation level. However, now that I have obtained the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture, it directly resolved this problem.”

Soon.

Ding!

“The ‘Heavenly Nine Pill Scripture’ has been cultivated for a day under the enhancement of 10,000 times. Your alchemy comprehension has increased greatly, and your understanding of the Pill Scripture has become even deeper. You have grown from a Pill Rune Foundation Establishment Pill Master to a Pill Tribulation Foundation Establishment Pill Master.”

Buzz!

A large amount of information and comprehension regarding the Nine Heavens Pill Scripture surged into Qi Ming’s mind, as well as an understanding of alchemy. His alchemy realm rose continuously.

He directly reached the Pill Tribulation Foundation Establishment Pill Master realm.

“Huff…”

Qi Ming heaved a sigh of relief, “It took three days in total and spent 3 million low-grade spirit stones. I’ve finally broken through to the Pill Tribulation Foundation Establishment Pill Master realm.”

“The investment has already reached a certain stage. I can try to profit now.”

Ding!

“The ‘Realm Breakthrough Pill formula’ has been cultivated for a day under the enhancement of 10,000 times. You’ve already completely grasped the ‘Foundation Establishment Pill formula’. You’ve already completely grasped the ‘Dao Manifestation Pill’. If you continue to cultivate for ten days, you can completely complete the incomplete ‘Nascent Soul Pill formula’.”

“That’s perfect.”

Qi Ming’s mood was quite good.

Ding!

“After refining the Square Cloud Crane Cauldron for a day under the enhancement of 10,000 times, you have already completely refined the Pill Tribulation Core Formation realm Square Cloud Crane Cauldron.”

Buzz!

Qi Ming waved his right hand, and the Square Cloud Crane Cauldron flew out and landed in front. Qi Ming had already completely grasped this pill cauldron and could sense its power and profundity.

“Very good.”

Qi Ming’s mood was even better.

Next, Qi Ming naturally took the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture and placed it on the third slot. The first slot was used for the Realm Breakthrough Pill formula.

As for the second AFK Farming slot…

Qi Ming got Huo Changqing to buy the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill from the Green Cloud Market and use them to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

He could not continue cultivating the Heavenly Nine Pill Scripture because if he wanted to advance his alchemist realm to the Core Formation realm, he had to advance his cultivation realm to the Core Formation realm first.

He was only at the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm, so he could not continue cultivating the Heavenly Nine Pill Scripture. He could only wait for his cultivation level to increase before continuing.

Next, he spent two million low-grade spirit stones every day.

Even with the entry ticket of 10,000 low-grade spirit stones for the game dungeon Shu Mountain Demon Subduing Pagoda, he could obtain 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones every time he cleared it. In other words, he could obtain a million low-grade spirit stones in return.

The next day, at night.

He had cultivated the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture for a day. Moreover, it was under the enhancement of 10,000 times. This was equivalent to him cultivating for 28 years without sleep or rest.

Qi Ming had basically sensed the power and vastness of the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture. It contained various truths, mysteries, and various good fortune. All of them had reached a profound level.

It was difficult to figure out and comprehend.

This Core Formation Method had already completely surpassed the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture and reached an unimaginable level. It was a Core Formation Method that pointed straight to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

As expected of the most basic and top-grade cultivation method scripture of the Three Pure Dao Technique.

Moreover, the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture did not have any prerequisite cultivation methods, nor did it have any requirements. It only required one to constantly experience the nature of the world during the cultivation process and fuse with it, comprehending the omnipresent Dao in the world.

If the Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art and the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture that Qi Ming had cultivated previously were immortal cultivation, the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture seemed to be Dao cultivation instead.

Under the ten thousandfold enhancement, it was equivalent to cultivating for 28 years without sleep or rest. Qi Ming had yet to touch the threshold of the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture.

From this, it was obvious.

How difficult was it to master the Golden Core Dao Scripture?

Qi Ming took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “As long as it’s not impossible to master, I’m not afraid of how difficult it will be to master it. As long as I keep cultivating, I’ll definitely be able to master it in the end and establish the Connate Purity Great Dao Golden Core.”

As for the Nascent Soul Pill formula in the Realm Breakthrough Pill formula, he still had to continue comprehending it before he could complete it. At the very least, he had to master it for another nine days. It was still very early.

“Actually, my aptitude dragged me down.”

Qi Ming also knew very well in his heart. He thought, “My aptitude is too low. Only providence is decent. The other four aptitudes are all at the lowest level.”

Under such circumstances…

“AFK Farming speed will also be affected by aptitude. Although it won’t affect much, it will still waste time. If I can increase my aptitude, I will definitely be able to increase the speed of AFK Farming cultivation and even reduce the consumption of AFK Farming cultivation.”

“However, it’s too difficult to increase my aptitude.”

“Those spiritual herbs are basically hard to come by. Even if I encounter them, with my status, I might not be able to obtain them.”

In the blink of an eye, nine days later.

Ding!

“You have been AFK Farming in the Shu Mountain Demon Subduing Pagoda game dungeon for nine days. You have cleared the game dungeon nine times. You have obtained: five World Piercing Stones, one Sword Dao Stone, one Heavenly Dao Stone, one Five-Element World Stone, one Spacetime Stone, one wisp of All Life Source Qi, one piece of Earth Soil, one Five-Element Sword Dao Stone, one Origin Water, and 90,000 medium-grade spirit stones.”

“Good!”

Qi Ming’s expression changed, “After AFK Farming for nine days, I’ve already gathered all the materials for the World Piercing Sword and Sword Mountain. I can finally begin to refine them.”

Ding!

“After cultivating the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture for a day under the enhancement of 10,000 times, your understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth has improved slightly.”

…

Ding!

“The Realm Breakthrough Pill formula has been cultivated for nine days under the enhancement of 10,000 times. It has already completely comprehended and you have grasped the Realm Breakthrough Pill formula. Moreover, you have learned the incomplete Nascent Soul Pill formula.”

…

Ding!

“The Foundation Establishment Pill has been refined for nine days. Refining medicinal pills is unlike cultivating cultivation methods or spells, you cannot charge spirit stones for the speed enhancement. You used the cauldron nine times a day and refined nine top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills per furnace. In total, you refined 729 top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.”

…

All kinds of insights surged into his mind.

After a moment, Qi Ming gradually came to his senses.

“Too terrifying.”

Qi Ming sighed and said, “That’s too exaggerated. From the beginning until now, the Golden Core Dao Scripture has been AFK Farming for a total of ten days under the enhancement of 10,000 times. It’s equivalent to cultivating and comprehending for 100,000 days without any rest.”

“It’s been more than 270 years.”

“However, I still haven’t cultivated it successfully.”

“I clearly feel that I’ve already stepped through the gate, but I still can’t reach it. It’s as if there’s an invisible and tough barrier blocking me.”

“It’s indeed too difficult.”

Qi Ming continued, “Back then, cultivating the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture was not so exaggerated.”

“However, the recipe for the Nascent Soul Pill has been completed. Although it cost 10 million low-grade spirit stones, the benefits of the latter Nascent Soul Pill are definitely not limited to 10 million low-grade spirit stones. Just the price of selling the complete Nascent Soul Pill recipe is already not cheap. It needs to be measured in high-grade spirit stones.”

“Finally, there are 729 top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.”

Qi Ming’s eyes lit up, “To refine so many top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills in nine days, this number has indeed exceeded my expectations.”

“According to the price of a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, which is 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, that’s 72,900,000 low-grade spirit stones. In terms of medium-grade spirit stones, that’s 729,000.”

“Generally speaking.”

“The spiritual herbs required for each furnace of Foundation Establishment Pills are 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. I made nine batches per day, and in the nine days, I made a total of 81 batches. I spent 8.1 million low-grade spirit stones.”

“Because it’s AFK Farming, there’s no such thing as labor cost or time.”

“The net profit of each furnace is 800,000 low-grade spirit stones. The total net profit of these nine days should be 64,800,000 low-grade spirit stones, which is 64,800 medium-grade spirit stones.”

Qi Ming sighed, “In the alchemist profession, this is simply a huge profit. It’s too much. Now, I only need to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill every day to support the spirit stones I need to undergo AFK Farming every day. There’s even a lot left.”

“The only thing to worry about is whether the price will be affected by the influx of so many top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills into the market.”

Actually, Qi Ming was worrying over nothing.

In the eyes of many Qi Refinement realm and Foundation Establishment realm cultivators, top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills were indeed very precious and priceless. However, in the eyes of cultivators at a higher realm, top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills were nothing.

Moreover, there were so many Qi Refinement realm cultivators in the Southern Region, but there were only 729 top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills. If they were thrown in, there would probably be no effect.

It would not affect anything at all.

“Since I’ve already gathered all the materials needed for the World Piercing Sword and Sword Mountain through the game dungeon, I don’t have to go through a lot of trouble. I can directly begin the refinement.”

Qi Ming directly charged two million low-grade spirit stones and placed the refinement of the World Piercing Sword in the second slot. The refinement of the Sword Mountain was placed in the third slot.

The first AFK Farming slot continued to cultivate the Golden Core Dao Scripture.

Then, three corresponding notifications popped up.

With a thought, Qi Ming closed the pop-up window.
