Hundreds of golden lights shot out from the seclusion chamber, then gathered together at the entrance, condensing into Lansi's figure.
His technique of transforming into light and condensing form had reached a miraculous level.
Lansi had practiced this technique countless times just to make his showing off more natural and cool.
Moreover, this technique had unexpectedly given him a chance to escape during his previous trials, and his Realm of Power was also comprehended from it, allowing him to break through the Golden Core threshold and return to the Sect.
Now, this technique had been integrated into his Golden Core, becoming his innate technique, making it even more convenient to use, reaching the absolute limit of this technique, and already possessing the Foundation for innovation.
Lansi glanced at the five people in front of him and smiled, "What? Are you Junior Brothers here to congratulate me on my Breakthrough?"
"Yes!" The five people all nodded helplessly.
Lansi nodded, chuckling, and said, "Those flawless Pilgrimage Pills truly have the effect of increasing the success rate of Breakthroughs. You have also reached your Bottlenecks. Carefully contemplate that feeling, and perhaps you can also break through with its help!"
"Does it really work? That feeling was just pure torture!" A Core Disciple recalled it now, still feeling lingering fear.
Lansi said solemnly, "As Cultivators, we eat spiritual food and spiritual meat, and we taste delicious delicacies. This truly bizarre experience might be the first in a hundred years of cultivation. The greater the difference, the deeper the experience. When you can calmly take those pills without frowning, your state of mind will definitely be stronger than mine is now! Breaking through to Golden Core will be easy!"
The five Disciples exchanged glances, feeling like Lansi was trying to trick them.
Naturally, Lansi wouldn't tell them that he had tricked others into taking the pills, bringing suffering to them, which somehow cleared his state of mind and allowed him to overcome the inner demon tribulation. This was also related to his personality; he had a bit of a dark sense of humor, but this wasn't suitable for others. On the other hand, he personally believed that the pills themselves did have the effect of tempering the state of mind, even though he didn't improve because of it.
"Then we'll believe you one more time!"
"Since that's the case, should we exchange for another one? One pill costs 1000 contribution points or Spirit Stones, which is really not cheap. A regular Pilgrimage Pill only costs two broken Spirit Stones each."
"Speaking of which, this kind of pill might really have a miraculous effect. Otherwise, why would the Sect intentionally sell it for 1000 Spirit Stones each? And even recommend it to Cultivators stuck at a Realm Bottleneck."
"Indeed, the more I think about it, the more sense it makes!"
The five people left.
Lansi flew away, chuckling.
He circled around the Sect, and before he knew it, he arrived at the entrance of Su Yuan's cave dwelling.
Su Yuan sensed Lansi's arrival and was also a bit surprised.
He opened the Formation gate of the cave dwelling.
Lansi transformed into a golden light and quickly arrived at the mountaintop.
"Old Valley Master, long time no see!" Su Yuan greeted him.
The Old Valley Master chuckled and took several steps in the air in front of Su Yuan, each step leaving a golden light, and lotuses blooming brightly.
"Su Yuan, I heard you took over the position of Valley Master after me. Why did you suddenly resign?"
The Old Valley Master had gone into seclusion immediately after returning. During his time out of seclusion, he had met several of his former Disciples and heard that Su Yuan had actually taken over his position as Valley Master, so he specifically came to find Su Yuan.
He looked around suspiciously and asked curiously, "Is your Master here?"
"My Master?" Su Yuan was startled.
"That's right, this is a Nascent Soul Elder's cave dwelling, isn't it? You are currently at Foundation Establishment, being here can only mean you've been taken as a Disciple by a Nascent Soul Elder!"
The Old Valley Master said as a matter of course.
Then he walked a few more steps at a low altitude in front of Su Yuan, specifically showing off in front of him. Throughout the process, there were no fluctuations in magic power; he was purely relying on the characteristics of his Golden Core to float.
Su Yuan asked doubtfully, "Old Valley Master, why don't you sit down?"
Lansi coughed and said, "Su Yuan, although your potential is good, you should read more books in your spare time. Haven't you noticed anything different about me?"
Su Yuan floated up to Lansi's height, circled around him, then sat down, took a sip of tea, and shook his head, "I don't see it. Please enlighten me, Old Valley Master."
Lansi's eyes widened, and his mouth dropped open.
He pulled out a calendar, counted on his fingers to calculate the time, and muttered, "That's right, only two years have passed, not twenty years, nor two hundred years."
Su Yuan smiled slightly. This old fellow, still trying to show off in front of him, how funny! Although he wasn't a Golden Core, he was at least in the Golden Sand Realm! That also had the word 'gold' in it!
"You really broke through to Golden Core?" The Old Valley Master still didn't believe him, saying, "I'm damn two hundred years old! You actually broke through to the Golden Core Realm just like me? This is too outrageous!"
Su Yuan shook his head, "I didn't break through to Golden Core. I am currently in the Golden Sand Realm!"
"What? Golden Sand Realm? Are you kidding me?"
The Old Valley Master waved his hand, plopped down beside Su Yuan, picked up the teacup, and took a big gulp. The bitter taste in his mouth gradually spread.
He sighed, "I originally wanted to recommend an excellent pill for you to buy, but alas, you've already broken through! You probably won't need it!"
Su Yuan's mouth twitched, "Thank you for your kindness, Valley Master, hehe."
The Old Valley Master muttered, "I remember Ye Bufan and Liu Muwan, who were in the same generation as you, seem to be in great need of this pill right now. It seems I should go recommend it to them."
Su Yuan's eyelids twitched.
"Old Valley Master, congratulations on your Breakthrough to Golden Core!"
Su Yuan shouted, "Xiao Li, quickly bring over some silver light glazed water!"
"Okay!" A clear female voice came from inside the house.
The Old Valley Master looked over in confusion.
Soon, a small silver-white fox came bouncing over, holding a jade bottle in her hands.
Xiao Li handed the jade bottle to the Old Valley Master.
"For you!"
The Old Valley Master looked at Xiao Li and said in surprise, "This is a spiritual beast? Its aura, how does it feel stronger than mine?"
Su Yuan nodded, "Well, you probably really can't beat her!"
The Old Valley Master fell silent for a moment, then took the jade bottle.
He casually opened it and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Third-grade spiritual water? And so much of it!"
"Yes, it's Xiao Li's bathwater. It's suitable for you to consolidate your Foundation. Take it back and refine it more; it has nothing but benefits." Su Yuan picked up his teacup and took a sip.
The Old Valley Master's mouth twitched, "You really... who did you learn this from?"
Su Yuan gazed at the Old Valley Master.
The Old Valley Master's old face turned red. He rummaged through his storage bag and finally pulled out a piece of wood about the thickness of a finger.
"Ahem, this is a ten-thousand-year Soul-nourishing wood, a juvenile body, a one-year Soul-nourishing wood. It's the most valuable item I have in my pocket right now, so I'll give it to you! Congratulations on your Breakthrough to Golden Core!"
The Old Valley Master handed the black wood to Su Yuan.
When Su Yuan heard 'ten-thousand-year Soul-nourishing wood', he actually reached out his hand, but he stopped halfway. He silently looked at the Old Valley Master, seemingly questioning him: Are you here to be funny?
The Old Valley Master coughed and said, "Well, I just broke through, and my Realm is still a bit unstable. I'll be going first!"
He flicked the blue, single-striped robe of a Golden Core Elder and flew away gracefully!
Xiao Li chuckled lightly, "This Old Valley Master is really interesting. I heard many talented Disciples complain about him before, but meeting him in person, I feel he's even more amusing."
"Don't say that. We should respect the old and cherish the young! I respect the old, and you cherish the young!" Su Yuan whispered.
"Oh!"
The Old Valley Master, who hadn't flown far, twitched his ears and turned his head towards Xiao Li and Su Yuan in confusion.
Su Yuan smiled at him and waved goodbye.
A hint of doubt arose in the Old Valley Master's heart. He suddenly felt that Su Yuan had become mysterious.
After leaving the cave dwelling, he immediately went to inquire about more information regarding Su Yuan.
When he learned that Su Yuan had once held the position of Peak Lord of Hidden Peak, he suddenly realized, and his back instantly straightened. He immediately became more confident.
"I was the Mentor of the Opening Meridian Ancestral Teacher, do you understand what an Mentor is? Hehe, from now on, who in the Sect would dare to provoke me? Show my identity, scare them to death!"
The Old Valley Master headed proudly towards Immortal Seed Valley. He was returning home in glory, continuing to serve as the Valley Master of Immortal Seed Valley. Don't ask why, the answer is because he likes it!
After the Old Valley Master left, Su Yuan examined the piece of black wood in his hand.
Myriad Treasure Cosmos Cauldron flew out, and a childish male voice said in an old-fashioned tone, "Not bad, it's a real Soul-nourishing wood. Although this piece of wood is a juvenile body, it still has a lot of vitality. If you cultivate it well, when your Physical Body is destroyed in the future, you'll still have a place to stay."
Su Yuan rolled his eyes, "Can't you wish for something good?"
At this moment, Xiao Qian said again, "My Pilgrimage spiritual liquid should also have an effect on it."
Su Yuan said in surprise, "Oh?"
"Soul-nourishing wood, theoretically, needs to be cultivated with Soul power and Yin Qi. However, my Pilgrimage spiritual liquid can simulate the taste of Yin Qi, so it should also be effective on Soul-nourishing wood!" Xiao Qian mused.
"It can be done like this?" Su Yuan was truly surprised this time.
"Let's try it. The main reason is that I've seen too much death, and I've experienced the power of yin Souls countless times. Plus, the Hundred Flavor Pilgrimage Pill can mimic various auras, so, yes, we can give it a try."
Su Yuan became interested. He came to a fourth-grade Spiritual Field and sectioned off a small, separate area.
"Black Curtain Shading Array, rise!"
Su Yuan set up a relatively simple second-grade Formation that blocked the dazzling sunlight. This small area immediately became like night.
"Big Dipper Array Diagram, establish!"
On the ground, a Big Dipper Array Diagram was also set up, connected downwards to the earth pulse.
Su Yuan carefully inserted the Soul-nourishing wood into the soil, then connected to the sky. Seven rays of starlight fell, passing through the shading array, and were stripped of some of the yang energy within the starlight. Pure yin starlight converged on the Soul-nourishing wood, causing it to emit a faint black phosphorescence.
Xiao Qian praised, "The starlight is pure, and the energy is gentle, especially suitable for Soul-nourishing wood absorption. Your planting technique is enough to occupy a place in the Immortal Realm."
Su Yuan smiled, "This technique has a high entry barrier, so it won't occupy much of a position. Come, let the spiritual liquid simulate it!"
"Okay."
A bowl of pale gray liquid condensed in a small bowl. Su Yuan felt a strong Yin Qi. This kind of Pilgrimage spiritual liquid with this 'taste' was very unique; it was a taste that went straight to the Soul!
He poured the spiritual liquid into the Spiritual Field. As the spiritual liquid poured out, it turned into a fine misty rain, enveloping the Soul-nourishing wood.
The Soul-nourishing wood stretched its branches and leaves, appearing extremely comfortable, slowly absorbing the energy from the spiritual liquid.
Su Yuan released his Divine Sense and integrated it into the Soul-nourishing wood as well. Within the Soul-nourishing wood, Su Yuan's aura gradually increased.
Xiao Qian looked at Su Yuan, who was continuously supplying Soul power, in confusion, and gradually opened his mouth wide, "Why do you have so much Divine Sense? I feel like it's already equivalent to the amount of ten Early Stage Golden Cores!"
Su Yuan shook his head, "It's not that I have a lot of Divine Sense, it's that my recovery speed is fast! My Sea of Consciousness is a natural array restriction!"
"This is impossible!" Xiao Qian was shocked.
