148: Chapter 148 Golden Pill (Part 3)

Wang Bin had already outlined his Cultivation path after the Golden Core in his mind.

He planned to use the flesh and blood of Yao Beasts to refine Qi and Blood Pills, and then temper his Physical Body with the Thunder Light Body Tempering Technique.

He would use Spirit Liquid to advance his Cultivation and enhance his magical power.

As for Spirit Refining, he would refine the demon souls of Golden Core Demon Kings into masterless Divine Sense power, nourishing it with Mind Nourishing Pills.

However, he needed to go back and make a Magic Treasure for this. Currently, the only thing lacking was a Cultivation Technique specifically for Spirit Refining.

He had only mastered the first level of the Star Observation Art, and the Chu Family would certainly not easily impart the subsequent Cultivation Technique to him, which gave Wang Bin quite a headache.

Forget it, thinking about these things now was useless. The most urgent task was to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm first.

Wang Bin picked up a Jade Slip, which contained the insights left by a Cultivator named Chu Xiongzhou. It meticulously recorded his entire process of going into seclusion to Breakthrough to the Golden Core from Foundation Establishment Completion, including the various problems he encountered, his countermeasures, and the specific situation during the Lightning Tribulation.

Wang Bin only took a quarter of an hour to read through the contents, and the general information was already etched in his mind.

After all, breaking through the Golden Core concerned his own safety, so Wang Bin dared not be negligent in the slightest. He then meticulously studied it again until he could recite it backward, only then did he put down the Jade Slip.

Just then, Wang Bin suddenly realized an important matter - he could completely memorize all the content in these Jade Slips.

When he returned to his Family, he could find some blank Jade Slips and record the information in them. This way, the younger generations of the Family would have valuable experience to draw upon when breaking through to the Golden Core.

Wang Bin couldn't quite understand why the Chu Family would make such an oversight.

However, he quickly understood the reason.

Throughout history, countless Cultivators had successfully broken through the Golden Core, and the insights left behind were vast.

Even though many Families strictly prohibited their dissemination, a large number of insights still flowed into the market.

Indeed, knowledge, at times, was incredibly precious, yet at other times, it seemed not so rare.

Presumably, within the Four Seas Commerce League, there must be insights on Cultivator Breakthroughs at various stages available for purchase.

Having understood this, Wang Bin no longer focused too much on it, but instead concentrated on studying the Jade Slips.

For three full days, he repeatedly consulted all the Jade Slips, and the process of breaking through the Golden Core was already deeply ingrained in his mind.

After making all preparations and adjusting his own state, Wang Bin officially began to assault the Golden Core Realm.

The first step of the Breakthrough was to compress the Spiritual Qi in the Dantian, transforming it from a liquid to a solid state.

According to the Breakthrough insights he had just read, as long as this step was successful, he could then, based on his Cultivation Technique, gradually fill around this solid Spiritual Qi point, eventually forming a Low Grade Golden Core the size of a chicken egg.

If one wished to forge a Medium Grade Golden Core, then it would be necessary to further refine the Golden Core within the Dantian, making it even purer, which would result in higher efficiency in the Golden Core's conversion of magical power.

If one had already comprehended elemental will and integrated it with the Golden Core, there was a chance to achieve a High Grade Golden Core.

However, in the Jade Slips provided by the Chu Family, the insights regarding forming a High Grade Golden Core were blank, but Wang Bin didn't pay too much attention to this.

However, what Wang Bin didn't expect was that he encountered a problem right from the start.

He continuously circulated the Green Wood Art, fully compressing the Spiritual Qi within his Dantian, but the Spiritual Qi simply couldn't transform into a solid state.

He tried taking Spirit Liquid, forcefully accelerating the operation of his Cultivation Technique, until his Dantian and Meridians felt distended, yet he still failed.

In this way, a full half a month passed, and the first step of the Golden Core Breakthrough still showed no progress. This was a significant blow to Wang Bin, and he even began to consider taking golden core spirit liquid.

However, although taking golden core spirit liquid could lead to a Breakthrough, it would leave many after-effects, and he would only be able to form a Low Grade Golden Core.

After much hesitation, Wang Bin ultimately gave up on this idea.

His goal was a Medium Grade Golden Core, and he absolutely could not lower his standards, otherwise, advancing to the Nascent Soul in the future would be even more difficult.

He comforted himself, telling himself to remain calm, after all, breaking through the Golden Core was not something that could be achieved overnight. Which Cultivator didn't spend several years on it?

He had only Cultivated for a few days; it would be strange if he broke through so easily.

Wang Bin simply took out the fine wine and Demon Beast Meat prepared by Du Xiaoyue, ate and drank heartily, and even deliberately drank more spiritual wine, then fell asleep, sleeping for three days and three nights.

When he woke up again, his mood had already calmed down. He sat cross-legged once more and continued to attempt to compress the Spiritual Qi within his Dantian.

Unfortunately, the result was still unsatisfactory, but this time, he also discovered the problem - his Spiritual Qi's condensation and purity were insufficient.

Although he had long since Cultivated to Foundation Establishment Completion, this was also related to the Green Wood Art Cultivation Technique he Cultivated. The Green Wood Art was, after all, just an ordinary Cultivation Technique.

The Spiritual Qi produced through its Cultivation simply could not meet the requirements for compression into a solid state within the Dantian.

It was too late to change Cultivation Techniques now, but it wasn't without a solution, which was to continue Cultivating the Green Wood Art.

Although this wouldn't significantly increase his Cultivation, it could temper his own Spiritual Qi.

Wang Bin understood in his heart that the Chu Family hadn't told him this point before, likely believing that he could only form a Low Grade Golden Core.

Thinking of this, Wang Bin let out a cold snort, secretly making up his mind to give himself two years. If he still couldn't condense a Golden Core by his own ability by then, then he would have no choice but to settle for second best, take golden core spirit liquid, and only form a Low Grade Golden Core.

Having made up his mind, Wang Bin calmed down and began his long Cultivation in this secret chamber.

Inside the secret chamber, there was no distinction between day and night, no external disturbances, and no women to distract him. Wang Bin had never been so focused on Cultivation as he was now.

Although his Cultivation still remained at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, he could clearly feel that his own Spiritual Qi was becoming increasingly pure, and the power of his Spells had also increased.

Finally, one day, when Wang Bin attempted to compress his Spiritual Qi, he felt that the time was ripe. He gently pushed with his Divine Sense, and in an instant, a needle-sized golden highlight suddenly appeared in his Dantian.

“Hahahahahahaha! Success!”

Wang Bin laughed excitedly. With this crucial first step, the path ahead would be much easier.

Wang Bin immediately began to continuously compress Spiritual Qi into a solid state, adding it to this golden highlight.

Half a month passed, and this golden highlight had already become a Golden Core the size of a soybean.

At this point, Wang Bin also felt the pressure. As the Golden Core in his Dantian gradually grew larger, the rate of Spiritual Qi consumption also accelerated, and his Spiritual Qi supply gradually began to fall behind.

Fortunately, the Spiritual Qi here was abundant, otherwise, this seclusion Breakthrough would probably have ended in failure.

Wang Bin knew that as the Golden Core grew, its demand for Spiritual Qi would become greater and greater, and the Green Wood Art's weakness in absorbing and converting Spiritual Qi was becoming increasingly apparent. Of course, this was also related to his own poor Spiritual Root Aptitude.

Fortunately, the Chu Family provided ample Spirit Liquid. Wang Bin had thousands of Spirit Liquid drops in his Storage Pouch. He took one drop of Spirit Liquid every day, plus the Spiritual Qi absorbed by the Green Wood Art, which was barely enough to meet the Golden Core's growth needs.

In this way, another month passed, and a chicken egg-sized Golden Core finally officially formed.

The Golden Core slowly rotated in the Dantian, and a wisp of magical power overflowed from it, entering the Meridians along the path of the Cultivation Technique's operation.

Wang Bin immediately felt a surge of pressure and intense pain in his Meridians. He endured the pain, painstakingly circulated his Cultivation Technique once, his clothes already soaked with sweat.

At the same time, he found that his skin exuded a trace of black liquid, presumably Impurities discharged by his body.

Wang Bin was secretly delighted, he knew that his Physical Body and Meridians had been strengthened to a certain extent.

The Golden Core was formed, but now was not the time to relax.

Wang Bin understood that as long as all the Spiritual Qi in his body was converted into magical power, he would reach the Golden Core First Level Realm, and then successfully pass the Golden Core Tribulation. At that time, both his Physical Body and Divine Sense would undergo a qualitative leap.

And now was also an excellent opportunity to improve the quality of the Golden Core.

Wang Bin concentrated his mind, controlling the Golden Core to stop converting magical power, and instead focused all his efforts on refining the Golden Core's quality.

In an instant, the Golden Core's speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi suddenly accelerated. Wang Bin quickly mobilized his Divine Sense, controlling the Golden Core's rotation speed, while simultaneously circulating the Green Wood Art with all his might, frantically absorbing external Spiritual Qi.

At this time, there could be no pause, otherwise, all previous efforts would be in vain.

In this way, Wang Bin persisted for a full day.

After a day, the Golden Core had clearly shrunk by a circle, but it had become even brighter and more dazzling.

And Wang Bin, due to continuously operating his Cultivation Technique at high intensity for a day, his Physical Body, Meridians, and Divine Sense were all under immense pressure, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, with only one belief in his heart - he must forge a Medium Grade Golden Core!
