108: Chapter 108 Green Snake: Pardon This Sword to Form a Pill
"Hiss..."
"Rich lady, I don't want to work hard anymore."
Xu Qing had been fighting and killing for so long, yet he hadn't obtained a single evolution path.
During this time.
The two big shots, Crimson-Tailed Burning Flame Crane and Elder Li, one person and one crane, had easily opened up two evolution paths for him.
Besides the skull.
Elder Li also gave him a bottle of Medicinal Pills.
She said they were Medicinal Pills that could help increase his Dao Cultivation; they surely wouldn't be the ordinary stuff he usually took.
"Alright, I also need to go back and prepare some Magic Treasures."
"If anything happens during this time, just tell my Clone."
"With these Medicinal Pills, you should be able to Breakthrough to the Golden Core within a month."
"So fast?"
Xu Qing looked at the Medicinal Pills in his hand. What kind of Medicinal Pills were these? The effect was so good!
"These are ancient Medicinal Pills refined using Flood Dragon Essence Blood as Materials."
"They are even more effective for you snake demons. The Pill Formula has been lost, and even the Xuanyun Sect only has a few bottles."
Xu Qing opened the bottle and looked inside.
There were only three pills in the bottle, each the size of a longan.
"Um."
"Although you're letting me Breakthrough to the Golden Core, I don't have a golden core imprint."
Xu Qing decided that since he had caught a thick-wooled sheep.
He naturally had to pluck it for all it was worth.
If he could pluck one more golden core imprint, Silly Snake and Junior Sister Sword would be set for the future.
Sigh, he really envied them for having such a good Green Snake brother like himself.
"Originally, the Sect didn't have many spares."
"But now, that kid Yang Ling offended you. It seems it really is fate."
Elder Li flipped her hand to take out a golden Talisman and tossed it to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing hurriedly caught the Talisman.
Looking closely, engraved upon it was exactly [Gold-999].
Fate is truly inexplicable.
Elder Yang Ling also had good intentions.
He had been too shallow before and hadn't seen Elder Yang Ling's painstaking efforts.
"My thanks to Elder Li."
"May Elder Li be as blessed as the Eastern Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountain!"
Xu Qing decided he would use this imprint for his own Golden Core Breakthrough!
A lucky number!
"Mother, goodbye."
Elder Li bowed to Daya in Xu Qing's arms.
At this moment, Xu Qing didn't know what had gone wrong in his head.
Or perhaps it was because he had received too many benefits and was a bit delirious with joy.
He actually blurted out.
"Take care, granddaughter."
...
That's how it went.
Xu Qing was still alive and well.
Elder Li probably didn't hold it against him for the sake of Daya's Face.
"It's steady, it's steady."
"Once Daya recovers her cultivation."
"My daughter is a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and my granddaughter is a Nascent Soul Great Perfection!"
"I dare to ask, who in the Cultivation World would dare to make a move against Xu Qing!"
Although Xu Qing hated those guys who relied on their backgrounds to act tyrannically in his past life.
That didn't mean he hated becoming a guy who relied on his background to act tyrannically himself.
"Cough cough, for now, I should focus on preparing to use these Medicinal Pills to Breakthrough to the Golden Core."
Xu Qing looked at the Medicinal Pills in his hand and set Daya down from his arms.
He couldn't help but give her another good pat.
Daya was truly his lucky star.
Before having Daya, he was wandering and fleeing everywhere.
After picking up Daya, his fortune immediately improved.
Everything was developing in a good direction.
The Luck of a Nascent Soul Cultivator was truly terrifying.
"Daya, go play."
Sending Daya away, Xu Qing took out a Flood Dragon Blood Pill.
The Flood Dragon Blood Pill was refined from Flood Dragon Essence Blood; maybe it could help him unlock some evolution path.
Xu Qing swallowed the Medicinal Pill with such thoughts.
[Ding, Dao Cultivation improvement speed has gained a 5000% bonus]
[Medicinal effect countdown: 240:59:59]
[Skill learned: Gigantification lv1]
[Gigantification lv1] Control body to become giant.
It didn't unlock a new evolution path, but he did gain a new skill.
And it seemed to be a rare skill.
At least Xu Qing hadn't seen it on any Yao Beast so far.
"A fifty-fold bonus to Cultivate speed."
"So it's this type of Medicinal Pill."
Xu Qing quickly coiled his tail, took out the black flood dragon horn, Constrict around it, circulated the White Flood Dragon Heart Art, and began to Cultivate.
The fifty-fold bonus to Cultivate speed almost condensed a Spiritual Qi vortex in the cave.
Ten days later, Xu Qing opened his eyes.
The medicinal effect ended, and his Cultivate speed was immediately knocked back to its original state, making him, who had adapted to the high-speed effect, feel a bit out of sorts for a moment.
This feeling was somewhat familiar to him...
He slapped his head.
This is exactly like Baidu Netdisk!
These ten days had increased his Dao Cultivation by fifteen years, leaving him ten years short of Dao Cultivation Perfection to Breakthrough to the Golden Core.
Taking one more Medicinal Pill should do it.
And he could even save one Medicinal Pill.
"This Medicinal Pill is so useful; I have to find a way to get the remaining bottles from the Xuanyun Sect."
Xu Qing thought this while swallowing the Medicinal Pill.
It's so useful!
Even if he had to sell his body to get these Medicinal Pills, it felt like a fair trade.
Xu Qing was leading the pack on the path of selling his body.
Another eight days passed.
[Dao Cultivation] 299/300 years
"Finally reached Perfection."
"While the medicinal effect hasn't worn off, I'll Breakthrough to the Golden Core."
Xu Qing took out the [Gold-999] golden core imprint and spat out the Xiliang Sword.
At the bottom of the cave, Xu Qing's hands formed hand seals.
The Xiliang Sword let out series of sword hums, the entire sword lighting up with green light.
"Come!"
Xu Qing pointed at the golden core imprint.
The golden core imprint turned into golden light and flew between Xu Qing's two fingers.
His fingers gripped the Talisman-like golden core imprint and stuck it onto the Xiliang Sword.
"By the summoning of this world, I decree this sword to become a core!"
As Xu Qing's voice fell, he felt as if the world was watching him.
A surge of heaven and earth power gathered and poured into the West River sword that had the golden Talisman stuck to it.
The West River sword hummed continuously, as if cheering in joy.
The green light grew stronger and stronger, almost submerging the Xiliang Sword.
Then, the green light wrapped around the Xiliang Sword and began to shrink bit by bit.
Xu Qing's hands never stopped forming seals, as majestic Demonic Power poured out and was continuously injected into the Xiliang Sword.
As time passed, the green light wrapping the West River sword transformed into a green round core.
The golden core imprint had now lost its form, turning into a golden character for "Decree."
The character for "Decree" floated up, pressed onto the green core, and merged into it.
A golden pattern appeared within the green core, spreading rapidly and dyeing the entire thing gold.
"The Golden Core is complete!"
Xu Qing suppressed his excitement and beckoned, the Golden Core floating before him automatically flying to his front.
Next was the Core Absorption.
Only by taking the Golden Core into the body could one truly advance to the Golden Core stage.
In this process, if it were an Artifact Core or Medicinal Core, the more body parts integrated during the refining process, the easier it would be to absorb the core.
Xu Qing naturally didn't need to worry about this.
He opened his mouth and swallowed the Golden Core, easily taking it into his belly and merging with it.
There was no discomfort in his throat; it slid down very easily.
[Ding, achievement reached: Advance to Golden Core]
