57: Chapter 57 The Secret of Perfect Foundation Building

Wang Bin watched everything unfold as he had expected, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He silently pondered Chu Wu's promise. In his previous world, perhaps someone would have shouted, “I have a dream, I hope everyone is equal,” but in this Cultivation World, how could there be any equality?

Bah! Wang Bin mocked himself. He wasn't sick; how could he utter such unrealistic nonsense?

He actually had many things he wanted, such as Spirit Stones, Cultivation Techniques, and secret arts.

But he also understood that he couldn't appear too greedy. After all, in this Cultivation World, there was still too much he didn't understand, not to mention how to Core Formation; he was completely clueless.

In the Cultivation World, acquiring Cultivation Techniques and various knowledge had extremely high thresholds. It was no exaggeration to say that knowledge was the biggest obstacle faced by ordinary Cultivators.

Those major powers controlled various resources, which naturally included Cultivation Techniques and the key knowledge required for advancing through each major Realm.

It was precisely because of this that it was as difficult as ascending to heaven for Loose Cultivators to make a name for themselves.

Wang Bin pondered for a moment, mustered his courage, and said with a serious expression:

“This Disciple’s greatest goal in this life is to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm!”

As soon as he spoke, Chen Fei's eyes instantly became bloodshot and completely red. He tightly clenched his fists, trying his best to control himself to avoid losing composure.

Chu Wu and the other two Golden Core Elders heard this and were not surprised in the slightest. They all felt that this Qingmu was quite intelligent.

If he were a short-sighted person, he would probably ask for Spirit Stones or Spiritual Artifacts, which would be a waste of this great Opportunity.

Indeed, for an ordinary Cultivator, achieving Golden Core might be their lifelong pursuit, but for the Chu Family of West Sea City, helping a Cultivator Breakthrough to Golden Core was not difficult.

Chu Wu suddenly reached out and pulled Wang Bin in front of him, gropeing him all over. At the same time, a mysterious pupil technique activated in his eyes, and he carefully examined Wang Bin's entire body.

Wang Bin felt a chill run through his body, as if he had been stripped bare in an instant, and a hint of regret welled up in his heart.

He secretly worried that if Chu Wu discovered that he was not the real Qingmu, it would be terrible. He had been too careless.

After a while, Chu Wu released Wang Bin's hand. He pondered for a moment and slowly said:

“You are a Three Spiritual Roots Cultivator, with the Wood Attribute as your primary. You indeed have the potential to achieve the Golden Core Realm.

However, your shortcomings are also extremely obvious.

Although you have now reached Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer, only your spiritual power level has reached the corresponding standard.

Your Physical Body strength is far from enough, and your Divine Sense has not reached a level commensurate with your spiritual power Cultivation.

To Core Formation, you must first Cultivate to Foundation Establishment Completion.

The so-called Foundation Establishment Completion is not merely about meeting the spiritual power Cultivation standard.

Your Physical Body strength must also be Cultivated to Foundation Establishment Completion. Only then can your Meridians withstand the immense pressure of fully circulating spiritual power during the Breakthrough to Golden Core.

Furthermore, your Divine Sense also needs to be tempered to Foundation Establishment Completion. If you can train it to the level of Golden Core Early Stage, the success rate of Core Formation will be higher.

Only when spiritual power, Physical Body, and Divine Sense are all raised to the limit achievable in the Foundation Establishment Stage can it be considered true Foundation Establishment Completion.

This is the root cause of many Foundation Establishment Cultivators failing to Breakthrough Core Formation.

They often rashly begin Core Formation after their spiritual power Cultivation is complete. During the Core Formation process, once they discover that their Physical Body strength cannot withstand the prolonged full circulation of spiritual power and its compression into a Golden Core, it ultimately leads to ruptured Meridians and a failed Breakthrough.

If they had been prepared beforehand, perhaps they could have saved their lives.

Even if they miraculously succeed in the Physical Body aspect, if their Divine Sense is not strong enough, they will face various Heart Demon intrusions and negative emotional interferences during the Breakthrough process.

Most people believe that a strong will can resist Heart Demons, but this is not true. It is because of insufficient Divine Sense training that many problems arise.

It is precisely because of this that many Cultivators have painstakingly researched various auxiliary Medicinal Pills or other natural treasures and Golden Core Spiritual Items that can increase the success rate of Core Formation, such as Core Formation Pills and Core Condensing Liquid. These can temporarily enhance a Cultivator's Physical Body strength or aid in the condensation of spiritual power within the body, accelerating the Core Formation process.

However, these are ultimately external aids. Although they can slightly improve the success rate, the risk of failure is still considerable.

However, all Genius Disciples of major powers do not need to rely on these external aids.

Of course, even if there are preparations, it is only for contingencies.

In fact, many powers know these Cultivation secrets, but the Lifespan of Foundation Establishment Cultivators is only two hundred years. In their view, time is too short.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators, affected by Aptitude, resources, Cultivation Techniques, and other factors, find it difficult enough to complete their spiritual power Cultivation within these hundred years. How could they still have the energy to complete the Cultivation of their Physical Body and Divine Sense?

Moreover, although most Cultivation Techniques primarily Cultivate spiritual power, they also have the effect of training the Physical Body and Divine Sense, but the effect is relatively limited.

I just checked your bone age; you are already over one hundred and twenty years old.

If you want to quickly Cultivate to true Foundation Establishment Completion now, you must change your Cultivation Technique.

This is why Cultivation Techniques have Ranks.

Ordinary Cultivation Techniques can only focus on one aspect.

Take the Azure Wood Art you studied, for example. It primarily Cultivates Wood Attribute spiritual power, and its training of Physical Body strength and Divine Sense will inevitably lag behind.

If you don't rely on external aids during Core Formation, the success rate is less than one percent, which is why it is classified as an ordinary Cultivation Technique.

You are currently just an Outer Sect Disciple, and you are already over one hundred and twenty years old. Even with the help of my Chu Family, we can only let you choose a Cultivation Technique that can simultaneously Cultivate two attributes, allowing you to focus on Body Refining while Cultivating spiritual power.

As for the deficiency in Divine Sense, you can take some Medicinal Pills that temporarily boost Divine Sense at that time, or borrow a Spiritual Artifact or Magic Treasure that can protect your Sea of Consciousness to resist Heart Demons.

What do you think of this method? This way, your Core Formation success rate can at least reach fifty percent.

As for why it's only fifty percent, that's because Cultivation ultimately still relies on one's own efforts.

Moreover, after successful Core Formation, you will also have to undergo a Lightning Tribulation, which is the most dangerous test for a Cultivator. At that time, you will have to rely entirely on yourself!”

Wang Bin, Chen Fei, and Li Lei, who had been silent all along, were all stunned by Chu Wu's words.

Wang Bin was fine. After all, he had previously known nothing about Core Formation, and he himself had not reached Foundation Establishment Completion, so he hadn't paid attention to this kind of information. Now that he knew these things, he felt more confident.

Chen Fei's face was filled with disbelief. He turned to look at his Master, Yin Tianqi, secretly wondering why his Master had never mentioned these things to him!

He was now at Late Foundation Establishment Stage and had been preparing for Core Formation. Hearing Hall Master Chu's words suddenly made him feel at a loss.

This was completely different from the information he had previously found!

The Flame Tribulation he studied also seemed to focus on Cultivating Fire Attribute spiritual power, with Body Refining as an auxiliary, and as for Divine Sense training, it was not involved at all. He had never even come across Cultivation Techniques in that area.

Yin Tianqi felt his Disciple's questioning gaze and did not get angry. He merely said expressionlessly:

“Don't look at me with such a suspicious gaze.

Even if you knew these things, what good would it do? It would only add to your troubles.

The Cultivation Technique your Master and you study is exactly the same. Although the Core Formation method mentioned by Hall Master Chu has a high success rate, a solid foundation, and greater potential, it is exclusive to Geniuses.

Of course, if you were a Disciple of a large Family, perhaps you would also have a chance to try.

But your Aptitude is insufficient, and you are not a Core Disciple, so you simply cannot learn the Advanced Cultivation Techniques that Cultivate all three aspects within the School.

Even if you were lucky enough to learn them, what then?

If your Aptitude is not enough, cultivating all aspects will only widen the gap between you and Genius Cultivators.

With the same Cultivation Technique, when a Genius Cultivator reaches Foundation Establishment Completion, you might just be at Foundation Establishment Third Stage.

By the time you finally reach Foundation Establishment Completion, your Lifespan will probably be almost gone.

Or perhaps you are in a Nascent Soul Family or an even larger Family, with a supply of various auxiliary Cultivation Medicinal Pills, as well as abundant Cultivation blessed lands and Cultivation resources.

Otherwise, it is better to obediently learn some simpler Cultivation Techniques that suit you. As for your deficiencies, work hard to save money by doing tasks and purchase auxiliary Golden Core Medicinal Pills or Spiritual Items in that area.

Your Master also came this way.

Even so, less than one percent of Cultivators truly succeed in Core Formation.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be that saying, 'One Golden Core swallowed, my fate is mine, not heaven's.'

Although it's a bit exaggerated, five hundred years of Lifespan! For Foundation Establishment Cultivators, what a huge temptation this is!”

Chen Fei's eyes instantly dimmed when he heard his Master's words.

Yes! He was just an Inner Sect Disciple, with no powerful Family as a backing to provide Cultivation resources. All his Cultivation resources were earned through arduous tasks and life-and-death adventures.

He didn't even have the qualifications to touch the School's Core Cultivation Techniques.

Thinking about his current situation, it was actually not bad. And today, his luck was actually good, at least he learned such important Core Formation information before Core Formation.

Speaking of which, he even had to thank Qingmu, wait!

He suddenly realized that Qingmu had stolen his Opportunity! The Opportunity for Core Formation!

If he had the help of the Chu Family, wouldn't his Core Formation success rate greatly increase?
