149: Chapter 149 Golden Pill (IV)

Wang Bin secretly rejoiced, fortunate that he was well-prepared, otherwise, this Breakthrough wouldn't have been so easy.

It's important to know that preparing a pile of auxiliary Medicinal Pills during a Breakthrough is essential.

Before the Breakthrough, Wang Bin had Cultivated his Physical Body, spiritual power, and Divine Sense to their Peak, which consumed a lot of Cultivation resources.

If his Physical Body hadn't reached the Peak of a second-tier treasure body when he first compressed his spiritual power, his Meridians wouldn't have been able to withstand it, and at that point, he would have had to rely on Meridian Protection Pill to stabilize the situation.

Moreover, if his spiritual power wasn't refined and pure enough, compressing it into a solid state would be a pipe dream, so he also needed golden core spirit liquid to assist.

If his Divine Sense power wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't be able to compress spiritual power for a long time, leading to a failed Breakthrough.

Therefore, only by Cultivating all three—spiritual power, Physical Body, and Divine Sense—to Foundation Establishment Completion, then finding a closed-door Cultivation place with extremely concentrated Spiritual Qi,

and preparing some Golden Core spiritual items to aid the Breakthrough, as well as Medicinal Pills to replenish spiritual power, Divine Sense, and heal injuries, such as Meridian Protection Pill, would there be a high chance of achieving a Low Grade Golden Core Breakthrough.

By the third day, Wang Bin noticed that his Golden Core had already shrunk by a quarter.

Although it became smaller, it was more solid, but it was still a bit short of a Medium Grade Golden Core.

However, at this moment, his Physical Body and Meridians were almost at their limit, like they were operating under overload and could collapse at any time.

Wang Bin didn't hesitate; he quickly took a Blood Qi Pill, a Meridian Protection Pill, and a Mind Nourishing Pill, and drank a drop of Spirit Liquid every two hours, gritting his teeth and persisting.

Finally, by the tenth day, the Blood Qi Pill and Meridian Protection Pill were almost depleted, and Wang Bin himself was nearing his limit.

Fortunately, hard work pays off; the Golden Core had already shrunk by half, reaching the level of a Medium Grade Golden Core, and it became round and full, like a naturally formed work of art,

emitting golden light and beginning to rotate automatically.

Every rotation converted the Spiritual Qi in his Dantian into a wisp of magical power.

Miraculously, when the magical power passed through the Meridians, it no longer caused the excruciating pain it used to.

Wang Bin felt the Golden Core within his body, studying its internal structure, and suddenly burst into laughter; he had solved a problem that had plagued him for many years, truly a double blessing!

Seeing the structure of the Golden Core, combined with the knowledge he learned in his previous life, and his Artifact Refining and Formation knowledge learned in the Cultivation World over the years,

Wang Bin's mind flashed with inspiration, and he instantly figured out how to manufacture batteries for the Cultivation World, and even had a plan for improving solar energy conversion arrays, which excited him immensely.

But before he could rejoice for too long, he found that the Golden Core's rotation slowed down; it turned out that there was insufficient spiritual power in his body.

Wang Bin estimated that it took him three hours of Cultivating Spiritual Qi using the Green Wood Art to convert it into a single wisp of magical power.

No wonder there was such a huge difference in strength between Golden Core cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and also a big difference in lifespan; this magical power was much more powerful than spiritual power.

Although he was already a Golden Core cultivator, his Dantian and Meridians were empty, with only a dozen wisps of magical power slowly circulating.

But even so, Wang Bin felt that he was much stronger than before.

He knew in his heart that his Physical Body and Divine Sense had not yet undergone a qualitative change, and he estimated that he would have to Undergoing Tribulation the Golden Core Tribulation first.

But he waited and waited, yet he didn't sense any movement from the Lightning Tribulation, and he couldn't help but wonder: Was his magical power insufficient?

Or did this Cultivation room block the Lightning Tribulation's sensing? Never mind, he wouldn't worry about it; such a good Cultivation environment couldn't be wasted.

So, he continued to operate the Green Wood Art, absorbing Spiritual Qi to refine it into Spirit Liquid, which was then absorbed by the Golden Core and converted into magical power.

Later, Wang Bin felt that the speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi was too slow, so he simply drank Spirit Liquid directly.

As soon as the Spirit Liquid was consumed, it went directly to his Dantian and was absorbed by the Golden Core.

The Golden Core slowly rotated three times, and immediately three wisps of magical power were produced.

It seemed that this Spirit Liquid was indeed helpful for Golden Core cultivators' Cultivation and replenishment of magical power, though the consumption was a bit high, but its value justified its cost, after all, this was a good thing that only Nascent Soul Cultivators could compress.

Wang Bin went all out, drinking ten drops of Spirit Liquid consecutively, and in a short while, they were all converted into magical power, and the Golden Core also grew a bit larger.

In this way, he Cultivated while drinking Spirit Liquid, and in less than a day, the Golden Core returned to the size of an egg, and the magical power in his body reached eighty-one wisps.

But no matter how he operated the Green Wood Art, it had no effect, and the Golden Core no longer absorbed Spirit Liquid when he drank it.

Wang Bin was puzzled: Could it be that the body at the Golden Core First Level could only hold this much magical power?

Or was the strength of his Physical Body and Meridians insufficient? Or was it the limit of a Medium Grade Golden Core?

Or was there a problem with the Green Wood Art itself?

Anyway, he hadn't learned the subsequent Cultivation Technique of the Green Wood Art, and he had already planned to switch to a more Advanced Cultivation Technique once he went out, after all, the more magical power he had, the more powerful he would be in combat.

Just as Wang Bin was lost in thought, he suddenly felt his hair stand on end, and a sense of danger surged into his heart.

"Little friend, come out quickly, your Golden Core Tribulation is here!"

A hoarse voice suddenly echoed in the secret chamber, and Wang Bin jolted, immediately stood up, waved a Formation Flag in his hand, and a glowing door appeared behind him; he stepped through it and stood on the edge of the cliff.

Behind him was his Immortal Cave for closed-door Cultivation, and below was a large valley.

A huge Formation was carved at the bottom of the valley, and hundreds of metal pillars were regularly erected around it, though he didn't know what they were for.

"Fly to the middle of the Formation, the Lightning Tribulation will arrive soon!"

The hoarse voice sounded again, and Wang Bin looked around but didn't see where the person was.

He guessed it should be a master from the Chu family, and without thinking much, he immediately flew out.

He originally wanted to fly with his sword, but suddenly realized that by operating his Golden Core, he could counteract gravity and walk on air directly.

Wang Bin secretly rejoiced: This Golden Core really is a good thing.

But now was not the time for emotion; he quickly flew to the center of the canyon and landed, then took out the lightning rod and several metal frames he had prepared.

"Put away these broken things and adjust your state.

Looking at the massive thunderclouds in the sky, you have a Medium Grade Golden Core, so there will be six Lightning Tribulations, with the first one being the weakest.

Once the Formation is activated, it will help you weaken a portion of the Lightning power.

If the pain becomes unbearable, just shout; the Lightning Tribulation is both a test and an opportunity."

The hoarse voice sounded again, and Wang Bin hesitated for a moment before putting away the "crude" lightning rods he had made.

As the thunderclouds in the sky gathered more and more, the Formation in the valley activated, and four metal pillars slowly tilted towards the center, stopping at forty-five degrees, directly above Wang Bin's head.

Wang Bin understood at a glance; weren't these just giant lightning rods!

Although he didn't know what Materials they were made of, they were definitely much stronger than what he had made.

He couldn't help but secretly mock himself for his former limited knowledge; Cultivators often lived for hundreds or even thousands of years,

constantly evolving, capable of flying through the sky and burrowing into the earth, spouting the power of the Five Elements, and there were many Cultivators who could control lightning, so how could there be no way to Undergoing Tribulation?

Look at the metal pillars around this Formation, exactly one hundred and eight of them.

He only used four pillars for his Golden Core Tribulation; if it were a Nascent Soul Realm Lightning Tribulation, it would probably also be manageable.

The Chu family's foundation truly was profound! But this was good too; at least his safety was guaranteed.
