106: Chapter 106 Heavenly Dao Golden Core, Earthly Dao Golden Core

Seeing Sect Master Bai Ruotong wavering, Mo Zixing struck while the iron was hot and continued:

"In any case, it is best for you, Sect Master, to stay with us for the time being."

"The times are always progressing. With the help of Revered Master and me, perhaps it won't be long before we can refine the corresponding Medicinal Pill to completely resolve the problem on you."

"By then, once you have recovered your original appearance and cultivation, it will not be too late to appear in your prime state."

He paused, his tone carrying a hint of persuasion:

"When the other Elders and Sect Disciples see you return at the Golden Core Ninth Level, their confidence in the Mingyu Sect will surely be greatly boosted."

"If news of the Sect Master's recovery in her prime spreads, the other Sects in Yongning Province will no longer dare to look down on our Mingyu Sect."

The more Sect Master Bai Ruotong listened, the more reasonable it sounded, and her little head nodded unconsciously.

That's right.

She is the Sect Master of the Mingyu Sect.

Everything must naturally prioritize the interests of the Sect.

If she could return to her prime.

It would definitely be of immense benefit to the Sect.

If she really insisted on appearing in her current child-like form.

Not only would she be mocked by other Sects.

It would also shake the morale of the Sect.

The loss would outweigh the gain.

Although this guy in front of her had a bit of a sharp tongue.

But what he said this time.

Was indeed for the good of the Sect.

"Fine!"

Sect Master Bai Ruotong raised her head, and a hint of gratification could actually be seen in her eyes:

"Then I will leave it to you."

As she spoke, she subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to pat Mo Zixing's shoulder to encourage him.

But due to the height difference.

She stood on tiptoes for a long time, her arm grew sore, yet she still couldn't touch Mo Zixing's shoulder.

The scene went quiet.

Sect Master Bai Ruotong's cheeks flushed slightly, and she withdrew her hand in embarrassment and anger, putting her hands on her hips and saying:

"Hmph, consider yourself lucky; this Sect Master doesn't want to pat your shoulder today."

She cleared her throat, pretending that nothing had just happened, and added solemnly:

"Before you refine the Medicinal Pill that can solve the problem, I will stay here with you for now."

Mo Zixing tried hard to suppress his smile and nodded:

"That is, of course, fine."

"Qingsu Peak is quite large; you can stay wherever you like."

His peripheral vision swept across the System interface.

He saw that Sect Master Bai Ruotong's favorability bar had risen a notch.

The first little heart had completely lit up.

Mo Zixing was secretly pleased.

It seemed that replacing the [Self-Willed] trait with [Sect] was indeed the right choice.

Previously, coaxing her required an enormous amount of effort.

Now, as long as he used the banner of being for the Sect, she would obediently listen.

He touched his chin, changed the subject, and asked:

"By the way, Sect Master, what Materials are needed for a Breakthrough from the Crystallization Stage to the Golden Core Stage?"

He was already at the seventh level of the Crystallization Stage.

According to his Cultivation speed.

At most, two or three more exchanges with Su Li or Liu Qingyan would allow him to reach Perfection at the ninth level of the Crystallization Stage.

He still needed to prepare the Breakthrough Materials early.

To avoid being flustered and searching everywhere once he reached the Bottleneck, just like last time.

Liu Qingyan heard his words, blinked her eyes, and her eyes were full of surprise.

She remembered that last time, Mo Zixing had also come to ask her for the Breakthrough Materials for the Crystallization Stage.

It seemed that not much time had passed since then.

At that time, he had clearly said it was just to prepare in advance.

Yet in the blink of an eye, he had quietly made a Breakthrough to the Crystallization Stage.

Now he was actually asking about the Materials for the Golden Core again?

This Cultivation speed was simply too fast.

After the surprise.

Came a sense of full gratification and a hint of faint worry.

If he could successfully make a Breakthrough to the Golden Core.

Then, whether for Mo Zixing himself or for her, it would absolutely be a great thing.

But even though she hadn't made that Breakthrough herself, she knew.

Breaking through to the Golden Core was definitely much harder than breaking through to any of the previous Realms.

A slight carelessness could lead to death and the dissipation of one's Dao.

Liu Qingyan gently patted his shoulder:

"Are you going to make a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage?"

Mo Zixing met her surprised gaze, coughed drily, and said somewhat guiltily:

"Ahem, this time it really is to prepare in advance; it's better to be safe than sorry."

Sect Master Bai Ruotong also looked surprised when she heard he was preparing for a Breakthrough to the Golden Core.

The way she looked at Mo Zixing changed slightly.

Although she didn't know his exact age, this guy looked quite young.

Yet he was already making a dash for the Golden Core Stage.

This Aptitude.

Even if placed in the entire Yongning Province, it could be considered top-tier.

Sect Master Bai Ruotong patted her flat chest and said proudly:

"You've asked the right person!"

"In the entire Mingyu Sect, there is no one who understands the Breakthrough to the Golden Core better than I do."

"There are two methods for a Crystallization Breakthrough to the Golden Core, which will eventually result in a Heavenly Dao Golden Core and an Earthly Dao Golden Core."

Sect Master Bai Ruotong held up two little fingers and explained solemnly:

"Just like their names, there is a world of difference between these two types of Golden Cores."

"The spiritual power limit that a Heavenly Dao Golden Core can provide is twice that of an Earthly Dao Golden Core, and the probability of a subsequent Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul can also be increased by 50%."

"And once an Earthly Dao Golden Core is formed, for the rest of one's life, one will at most remain at the Golden Core Late Stage."

"Therefore, those pursuing higher Realms will do everything in their power to strive for a Heavenly Dao Golden Core."

"Only those with insufficient Aptitude, or those whose Lifespan is nearing its end, will settle for the Earthly Dao Golden Core."

She lifted her chin and added proudly:

"Needless to say, what this Sect Master formed back then was naturally a Heavenly Dao Golden Core."

Liu Qingyan nodded and gently added an explanation for Mo Zixing:

"Grand Elder Qin formed an Earthly Dao Golden Core."

"In fact, most people spend their whole lives without reaching Crystallization Perfection, let alone the point of making a Breakthrough to the Golden Core."

"Even if one only forms an Earthly Dao Golden Core, one is already considered an outstanding Cultivator in the entire Yongning Province."

"That's right."

Sect Master Bai Ruotong nodded in deep agreement, then pursed her lips:

"However, compared to this Sect Master, they are still far behind."

She continued:

"A Heavenly Dao Golden Core requires collecting some Heaven And Earth Treasure corresponding to the attributes of your own Spiritual Root."

"At least one type is needed, and it is best to collect three types; this not only increases the success rate of the Breakthrough but also results in a higher quality Golden Core."

"The Earthly Dao Golden Core is much simpler; you only need to refine one Three-Flower Pill, though the Materials are not easy to find either."

Mo Zixing nodded thoughtfully.

What is an Earthly Dao Golden Core?

Not familiar with it.

His current Thunder Fire dual-attribute Spiritual Root is quite excellent, and his wood attribute Spiritual Root is top-tier.

He must form a Heavenly Dao Golden Core.

This would be the perfect opportunity for him to go and find a corresponding Heaven And Earth Treasure for each of his attributes.

Sect Master Bai Ruotong had said so much, but her expression suddenly became serious as she looked at Mo Zixing and said earnestly:

"And there is one most important point."

"Breaking through to the Golden Core is different from all previous Realms; it will attract a Lightning Tribulation."

"Moreover, if you choose to form a Heavenly Dao Golden Core, the intensity of the Lightning Tribulation attracted will be stronger than that of an Earthly Dao Golden Core."

"When I chose to challenge the Heavenly Dao Golden Core back then, I attracted a full six bolts of heavenly lightning and almost didn't make it through."
