Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 567: Chapter 176: Half-Step Golden Core, the Might of the Spirit Body!

Two days later, the entire Cloud Light Sect was on high alert, activating the entire Mountain Protection Array.

At the same time, a strict lockdown was enforced around the entirety of Cloud Light Sect,

countless members of the sect formed patrol squads and roamed near the Cloud Light Mountain Range, following the Sect Order,

within a thousand miles of the sect, no unauthorized persons were allowed entry,

even the disciples of the sect had to wait a month before they could enter,

while Zhou Xun, Song Yiqing, and the other Core Formation Masters of Cloud Light Sect gathered outside Lin Xueying’s Cave Mansion,

quietly waiting,

protecting Lin Xueying during her Core Formation.

...

The place where Lin Xueying attempted Core Formation was not Zhou Xun’s Cave Mansion,

although the spiritual energy at Zhou Xun’s Cave Mansion was more abundant,

she was more familiar with her own Cave Mansion, which helped maintain a stable mental state during Core Formation,

furthermore, for Core Formation impact, Tier Three Low-Grade spiritual energy concentration was sufficient, any more would not significantly aid the condensation of the Inner Core.

In the Cultivation Room, Lin Xueying sat cross-legged on the ground, meditating and adjusting her state, pushing her Essence, Qi, and Spirit to their peak.

Simultaneously, she began simulating the entire Core Formation process in her mind.

Half an hour later, Lin Xueying slowly opened her eyes, at this time her Divine Sense, mana, and state were all adjusted to their peak!

Immediately, she took out the Super-Grade Crystal Condensing Pill given by Zhou Xun and swallowed it without hesitation,

once the elixir entered her stomach, a burst of medicinal energy immediately rose up.

An extraordinary energy spread along her meridians, then wrapped around all her meridians.

Soon after, Lin Xueying’s Divine Sense, mana, and physical body were enhanced by several degrees.

Sensing the changes in herself, Lin Xueying was overjoyed, recalling that it was prepared for her by Zhou Xun,

her heart couldn’t help but grow happier, and she felt an even stronger desire to breakthrough soon and go out to see Zhou Xun!

”Breakthrough now!”

With a charming shout, she immediately began operating the Water Moon Supreme Mysterious Scripture,

this was the most suitable cultivation technique for the Water Moon Body, now that she was impacting Core Formation, she naturally needed to operate this cultivation technique,

as the cultivation technique was activated, strands of spiritual energy were absorbed into her body, continuously refined into mana and merged into her Dantian!

At the same time, a spiritual energy vortex formed above her head, growing larger as time passed.

”Thirty feet!”

”Sixty feet!”

”Ninety feet!”

...

Outside, everyone looked at the spiritual energy vortex in the sky, overjoyed,

this indicated that Lin Xueying had begun condensing the Inner Core, the next step was to see what quality she condensed!

”This is the Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon!”

”Someone is forming the Core!”

”It must be the Grand Elder, she has finally formed the Core, the rise of Cloud Light Sect begins today!”

Such a change in spiritual energy naturally drew the attention of the entire Cloud Light Sect, earlier when the sect enforced a lockdown, some disciples had already guessed, and now they came out to see,

...

Inside the Cultivation Room, Lin Xueying was already at the critical moment

at this time she was entirely enveloped in dense spiritual energy, forming a ball.

In her Dantian, dense liquid magical power almost filled the entire Dantian, a feeling of almost bursting arose.

Lin Xueying knew this was her liquid magical power transforming to its extreme.

”Next is condensing liquid into a pill!”

Lin Xueying’s gaze was like lightning, using her powerful Divine Sense to control the liquid magical power surrounding the center of her Dantian, starting to rotate and compress.

Time passed by little by little, no one knew how long had passed.

Suddenly——

Hoo!

All mana suddenly collapsed towards the center, finally forming a white Inner Core,

Low-Grade True Pill!

But this wasn’t over, Lin Xueying continued to refine spiritual energy into mana, integrating it into this Inner Core!

As mana continuously merged in, the white Inner Core grew more solid, as time passed, its color began to deepen!

Middle-Grade True Pill!

Finally, nearing the High-Grade level, a feeling of swelling came from her Dantian,

it was at its extreme!

With her Water Spirit Root Sensitivity at fifty points, reaching this level was already thanks to Zhou Xun’s Super-Grade Crystal Condensing Pill!

...

Outside, the celestial phenomenon had already lasted for five days,

suddenly, the vortex changed and showed signs of weakening!

Seeing this, Zhou Xun sighed slightly,

”Only a Middle-Grade True Pill!”

The scripture records that a phenomenon lasting three days indicates a successful Core Formation, but of Fake Pill quality, four days suggest Low-Grade True Pill, five days indicate Middle-Grade, and six days High-Grade!

If the phenomenon lasts seven days, it would be a Half-Step Golden Core, and eight days or more would be an Immortal Golden Core.

Recalling Lin Xueying’s aptitude and cultivation technique, it was understandable!

Just as everyone thought the Core Formation was about to end,

the vortex suddenly surged, becoming strong again!

Zhou Xun was overjoyed at this sight!

Meanwhile, in the Cultivation Room, Lin Xueying sensed a swelling pain from her Dantian, knowing this was her extreme!

And Zhou Xun had also told her about the changes in Inner Core quality, and her heart couldn’t help but feel dejected,

”Is it really just a Middle-Grade True Pill, not even High-Grade!”

She knew that Song Yiqing had condensed a Half-Step Golden Core, and Zhou Xun even more had an Immortal Golden Core, their future almost assured to breakthrough to Nascent Soul!

”No, I can’t give up!”

”A Middle-Grade True Pill almost has no hope for Nascent Soul!” Thinking that in three hundred years, she wouldn’t be able to stay with Zhou Xun, a strong determination arose in Lin Xueying,

so she ignored the swelling pain of her Dantian, forcibly supporting herself to continue refining spiritual energy, merging it into the Inner Core!

As mana continuously poured in, the swelling pain from the Dantian grew stronger, almost breaking open, making it hard for her to think!

Just then, a sudden change occurred!

Small meridians throughout her body suddenly surged with a pure power of water element,

more and more,

then followed the meridians to the main meridian, finally merging into the Dantian!

With the surge of this power of water element, the Dantian, as if a long-dried farmland, was quickly nourished, becoming resilient!

At the same time, the intense pain vanished instantly!

Meanwhile, a strong attractive force came from the Dantian, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy instantly doubled!

The fifth day quietly passed, reaching the sixth day,

until the seventh evening,

Lin Xueying finally couldn’t hold on, and ceased the cultivation technique!

At this time, her Dantian was wrapped in a light water mist, within which a pale golden Inner Core,

emitted a moist glow, with spirit charm flowing, extremely remarkable!

If Zhou Xun were here, he would naturally recognize,

this was indeed a ”Half-Step Golden Core!”

...

”Xueying, how is it?”

Inside the Cultivation Room, Zhou Xun asked Lin Xueying with concern,

at this time it had been half a month since her Core Formation, Zhou Xun was concerned about the boost her Water Moon Body brought to her cultivation.

”The speed has increased by more than three times!”

Lin Xueying beamed with joy,

at this time, every time she operated the cultivation technique, the power of water element would appear out of thin air from within her, accelerating her cultivation a bit more!

By her estimate, in fifty to sixty years she could reach the peak of Early-Stage Core Formation!

”Now I can be at ease!”

This speed was equivalent to that of the Celestial Spirit Root, it seemed the records in the scriptures were accurate!

...

After another month, after Lin Xueying held the Core Formation Ceremony,

everyone returned to Wangchuan Lake!

Lin Xueying accompanied them,

thus, Zhou Xun, after many years, once again enjoyed the fortune of having many people at his service!

...

On the other side, in the South Sea Cultivation Realm.

After returning from True Monarch Iron Mountain, Zhou Xun once again entered closed-door cultivation.

Inside the Cultivation Room,

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged, looking at the Profound Origin Pill placed before him, in an excellent mood!

”This elixir is highly reputed, even when consumed by a Late-Stage Core Formation cultivator, it can save several decades to nearly a hundred years of hard cultivation,”

”If it truly has such an effect, I might be able to reach the peak of Core Formation within twenty years!”
