293: Chapter 293 Enhancement of Golden Attributes

Inside the Cave-Heaven Blessed Land.

Qin Changsheng sat cross-legged on the mat.

His gaze turned toward his attribute panel.

"It took over a year to achieve Core Formation!"

Qin Changsheng raised his hand, took the yellowed core formation insights, gently opened it, and let his gaze fall upon the records regarding the state after Core Formation.

Qin Changsheng intended to compare the insights to carefully examine his current physical and Cultivation state to confirm if there were any abnormalities.

The core formation insights clearly recorded: After a Cultivator breaks through to the Golden Core Realm, the Golden Core has just finished its transformation, and the spiritual power has condensed into a Golden Core. The Qi, blood, and mana throughout the body will be heavily consumed, inevitably leading to a state of extreme weakness.

Divine Sense will also become withered due to the consumption of the Breakthrough. At this time, one must immediately meditate and regulate their breathing, focusing on Cultivation for days or even months to restore mana, stabilize Divine Sense, and truly adapt to the power of the Golden Core Realm.

Qin Changsheng put down the insights and looked inward, carefully probing the state of his body.

Yet, upon investigation, a trace of surprise welled up in his heart—not only did he not feel the slightest bit of weakness, but he felt full of strength instead.

The Meridians throughout his body were clear, his Qi and blood were abundant, the Golden Core within his Dantian was shining brightly, and majestic mana flowed slowly through his Meridians, full and condensed, without the slightest sign of depletion or insufficiency. He did not need to deliberately meditate to maintain his Peak state.

Qin Changsheng knew what was going on regarding this state.

This was not because the core formation insights were wrong, but because he possessed the Heavenly Dao Trait [Source of Mana] and [Qi and Blood] as support.

[Source of Mana] could continuously generate mana, allowing him to maintain abundant mana without deliberate Cultivation;

The [Qi and Blood] trait could nourish his Physical Body and replenish his Qi and blood, completely offsetting the consumption of Qi and blood and mana during Core Formation, allowing him to not only avoid weakness after the Breakthrough but instead be in an even better state.

After confirming the state of his mana and Qi and blood, Qin Changsheng turned his attention to his Divine Sense.

The core formation insights explicitly mentioned that for a Cultivator breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, their Divine Sense would skyrocket, usually expanding by about ten times. The coverage and perception precision of the Divine Sense would also improve accordingly, which was one of the important differences between a Golden Core Cultivator and a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

With a movement of his mind, Qin Changsheng quietly expanded his Divine Sense, carefully sensing the changes.

He discovered that his Divine Sense had not only become exceptionally condensed and sharp, but its coverage far exceeded his expectations.

Compared to the Foundation Establishment period, his Divine Sense had improved by at least twenty times or more. Every blade of grass, every tree, every spring, and every stone of the entire Heavenly Sword Sect was clearly presented in his mind.

This astonishing increase in Divine Sense made Qin Changsheng secretly pleasantly surprised.

He knew this was mostly the result of the interaction between the Heavenly Dao Trait Divine Sense and the quality of his Golden Core. The significant improvement in Divine Sense would provide great assistance whether in scouting for enemies, controlling Magical Artifacts, or cultivating more profound techniques in the future.

Finally, Qin Changsheng turned his gaze toward his Dantian.

This was the matter he cared about most. The quality of the Golden Core directly determined his future Cultivation Speed and upper limit. The core formation insights had a detailed classification for this: Most Cultivators condense a white core, which is of ordinary quality with a slow Cultivation Speed;

A few talented individuals can condense a green core, which is of superior quality with a faster Cultivation Speed; whereas a red core is the top-grade among Golden Cores, extremely rare. Not only is the Cultivation Speed far superior to green and white cores, but the Cultivation base will also be more stable, and the hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the future will also be significantly increased.

Above the red core, there are purple cores and Golden Cores.

Qin Changsheng did not pay much attention to the fact that a purple core or a Golden Core did not appear.

After all, his talent and Spiritual Roots were not very good.

Being able to form a red core was already quite good.

Moreover, in the insights, there were also introductions to methods for improving the quality of the Golden Core.

Qin Changsheng believed that with his strength and Opportunity, he would definitely be able to find those Materials.

Thereby raising the quality of his Golden Core from a red core to a Golden Core.

Qin Changsheng's Divine Sense also sank into his Dantian.

He saw that at this moment, within his Dantian, a Golden Core that was entirely crimson and translucent was floating quietly. Profound pill patterns flowed on its surface, emitting a faint red light. Within the Golden Core, majestic spiritual power and the power of Qi and blood were intertwined and fused, emitting an aura that made one's heart palpitate.

Qin Changsheng carefully put away the core formation insights and simultaneously looked at his attribute panel.

A year had already passed.

He could once again extract a Golden Trait.

"Extract Golden Trait!" Qin Changsheng's gaze fixed on the attribute panel.

As Qin Changsheng's voice fell, a golden light appeared on the attribute panel.

Within this light, a phantom of a Golden Trait slowly took shape, surrounded by a special aura.

Qin Changsheng stared intently, and the word "Enhancement" on the attribute panel shone brightly, the handwriting ancient and powerful.

[Enhancement]

The moment he saw these words, Qin Changsheng's eyes were full of joy.

He had extracted another powerful trait.

In the next instant, the characteristics of the Enhancement trait appeared in Qin Changsheng's mind.

[Enhancement, Golden Trait]

[1. Enhancement: Can use Spirit Stones to enhance all Magical Artifacts. No complex forging techniques required, no rare auxiliary Materials required. Only enough Spirit Stones are needed to directly enhance Magical Artifacts. The operation is simple with no risk of failure. As long as there are sufficient Spirit Stones, the grade of the Magical Artifact can be steadily improved.]

[2. Cooldown: The same Magical Artifact requires a one-month cooldown for Enhancement. Unenhanced Magical Artifacts are unaffected.]

Looking at the introduction on the attribute panel, Qin Changsheng's mood was extremely excited.

This trait seemed simple, but it was actually Heaven-Defying.

In the world of Cultivation, the grade of Magical Artifacts is often fixed. To obtain High Grade Magical Artifacts, one must either spend a lot of money to search for them or spend a lot of time and energy to forge them, with a risk of failure if one is not careful. However, with the [Enhancement] trait, one only needs Spirit Stones to step-by-step enhance low-grade Magical Artifacts into High Grade ones, or even enhance Earth-Grade Magical Artifacts into Heaven-Grade ones. This was simply a walking "Magical Artifact Upgrader."

For his Lifebound Treasure, the Dragon Abyss Sword, if he wanted to improve it, he could only use his Divine Sense to nourish it.

But now, he had the Enhancement trait.

He only needed to spend Spirit Stones to successfully enhance it into a High Grade Earth-Grade Magical Artifact, or even a Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact.

And this was only a Golden Trait.

If this Enhancement became a Heavenly Dao Trait.

Then the characteristics of the Enhancement trait would be even more powerful.

Regarding the cooldown, Qin Changsheng was not surprised.

After all, only enhanced Magical Artifacts needed a one-month cooldown; other Magical Artifacts were still unaffected.

With a movement of his mind, Qin Changsheng took out an ordinary Earth-Grade High Grade longsword from his Storage Pouch.

This longsword was the weapon Qin Changsheng used during his Qi Refining stage.

Ever since Qin Changsheng reached Foundation Establishment, he had never used it again and had always kept it in his Storage Space.
