The It Mountain Spring can be used for alchemy, and Xu Feng has long been aware of this. The reason Xu Feng has not added the It Mountain Spring is mainly because there is too little of it, only a little over thirty drops.
This time, Xu Feng used ten drops of the It Mountain Spring in his alchemy process with ten furnaces, resulting in forty Super Spirit Pills.
The It Mountain Spring is liquefied Spiritual Energy, and when incorporated into the pills, it surprisingly doubled the spiritual power of the elixirs. Although he used a Fifth-Rank Pill formula, its effectiveness was still far inferior to that of a Sixth-Level Elixir.
After obtaining these forty pills, Xu Feng did not stop; he continued to refine over two thousand Super Spirit Pills without using any It Mountain Spring. Later, he went out with A Qi to hunt Sixth-Level Monsters, storing dozens of monster cores in preparation for future alchemy.
After completing these tasks, Xu Feng and A Qi both entered seclusion, vowing not to emerge until they reached the Golden Core stage.
As time passed, Xu Feng devoted himself to intense cultivation day and night.
Xu Feng had long surpassed the stage of consuming ordinary food; his body was empty, filled only with a large amount of elixirs that vanished after being transformed into spiritual power. At this moment, Xu Feng's meridians were wide and thick, nearly three times that of an ordinary cultivator, allowing him to hold three times the amount of spiritual power. His strength was formidable, but this also increased the difficulty of his breakthroughs.
A large amount of refined Fire Spiritual Power flowed within Xu Feng's body, then gathered at the Dantian according to a designated route, continuously condensing, compressing, and shrinking. The volume of spiritual power changed under strong compression, and the red mass forming in the Dantian became increasingly substantial.
The essence of the Golden Core Stage is to condense the liquid spiritual power within the body into a high-density sphere, which will serve as the source of power for future cultivation; this source point is known as the Golden Core.
Once a cultivator's Golden Core is formed, they can concentrate all their spiritual power in one place for self-nourishment and regeneration in a continuous cycle. The Golden Core is the essence of a cultivator's life and contains part of their spiritual consciousness. A powerful Golden Core Cultivator can potentially achieve reincarnation if their Golden Core is extracted and nurtured by a high-level cultivator after their death.
However, this possibility is very rare and requires stringent conditions; any slight misstep could lead to failure. The success rate for soul transfer is much lower than that for Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
Due to the inclusion of spiritual consciousness, advancing to the Golden Core stage requires not only quantity but also quality—meaning a certain level of enlightenment is necessary. Cai Shujun was powerful but ultimately achieved enlightenment and formed his Golden Core after being inspired by Qiu Wuling's stunning sword strike.
This kind of enlightenment depends on individual comprehension and cannot be taught through words or actions. Many leaders of Major Sects wish to cultivate their direct disciples into Golden Core Cultivators but often fail because those individuals lack the necessary enlightenment to capture that fleeting moment of inspiration.
A month passed, then three months, and the elixirs around Xu Feng gradually decreased.
Six months went by, and the elixirs around Xu Feng no longer diminished. Xu Feng had entered the final sprint phase; the elixirs had lost their effect, and he was on the brink of reaching the Golden Core threshold, just a step away.
Nine months passed, and winter arrived as expected.
This winter was a bit cold, with heavy snow blanketing the Beast Wasteland in silver. The Beast Wasteland, which hadn't seen snow in many years, was filled with vitality. Clever beasts leaped among the trees, shaking off the accumulated snow from the branches. Large beasts ran through the snowy ground, leaving footprints that sent shivers through other creatures.
At the base of the Cliff, Xu Feng found himself sitting by a stream, though he couldn't recall when he had moved there. Large flakes of snow fell down but transformed into raindrops before reaching Xu Feng, as if an invisible barrier surrounded him, preventing anything from touching his body.
A Qi quietly stood nearby; the wind and snow could not approach it either. The fleshy lump on its head swelled even more, as if something astonishing might burst forth at any moment.
The heavy snow continued for three months without pause.
Then, it seemed that something suddenly obstructed the snowfall at the Cliff; the snowflakes began to swirl away. Following this, an inexplicable tremor shook beneath the cliff, causing the accumulated snow on the trees to tumble down. The air felt as if it had exploded; within a fifty-meter radius, the flying snow was lifted and turned into fine particles carried away by the wind.
At that moment, a dark red beam of light shot up from below the cliff straight towards the top. The beam extended beyond the cliff's edge and continued rising for another twenty to thirty meters before stopping and dissipating into the air.
Below the cliff, Xu Feng, who had been sitting in meditation for so long, finally stood up. His eyes opened wide as fiery red light flashed through them. A Qi observed this and couldn't help but nod slightly; this demanding yet friendly mentor known as Birdman had finally given Xu Feng a direct acknowledgment.
After eight years of arduous cultivation, Xu Feng had finally broken through his bottleneck and advanced to become a Golden Core Cultivator!
Xu Feng raised his head and let out a roar of triumph. The accumulated snow that had clung to the surroundings for so long could no longer hold on and fell from the trees all at once.
Eight years have passed, and Xu Feng himself has lost count of how many pills he has consumed and how many Sixth-Level Monsters he has slain. His requirements for spiritual power, due to his Five Elements Cultivation, are exceedingly high—almost five times that of an average cultivator.
The corresponding rewards are, of course, astonishing; he can effortlessly defeat cultivators of the same level in an instant.
Not far from the crumbling wall where Xu Feng resides, a strangely dressed Middle-Aged Cultivator watches him with a smile. A Qi's keen insight fails to detect the presence of this person.
The Middle-Aged Cultivator murmurs to himself, "Two years to establish a foundation, eight years to form a core. Although this speed is not remarkable, it's fortunate that this person practices Five Elements Cultivation; it’s worth my assistance. I hope this child can achieve something significant and become a great help to my elder sister."
This person seems to know Xu Feng's situation quite well. What assistance did he provide to Xu Feng? Who is the elder sister? All of this remains unknown to Xu Feng.
Mentioning the elder sister, the Middle-Aged Cultivator's expression turns slightly bitter as he lets out a soft sigh. His figure becomes blurry and then vanishes into thin air!
Below the cliff, Xu Feng and A Qi remain oblivious.
Xu Feng has just advanced to the Golden Core stage; there are too many unfamiliar things and tasks ahead of him. He hurriedly jumps into the stream, where the mildly warm mountain water washes over his body. After advancing to Golden Core, his physical body is once again strengthened. A large amount of dirt and impurities is expelled from his body, leaving it as smooth as jade—surpassing even the state of Chu Wushang from years ago.
"Could it be that Cai Shujun advanced and left without saying a word? Turns out she was just in a hurry to go back and take a bath," Xu Feng suddenly smirks mischievously.
After soaking in the water for half an hour and feeling the immense spiritual power within him, Xu Feng breaks into a satisfied grin.
The essence of the spiritual power inside him hasn't changed; it remains liquid but is now more refined and powerful. More importantly, with the support of the Golden Core, spiritual power flows continuously. Now, when using the Moonchaser Bow, he hardly needs to worry about consumption—he can shoot as he pleases...
During this breakthrough, Xu Feng still relied on his usual Fire Element Technique to impact the Golden Core stage. In this process, A Qi, who also practices Fire Element One Star, contributed significantly. The exotic fire within A Qi is incredibly powerful; even now, if Xu Feng were to fight against it, he would find it difficult to withstand A Qi's fiery attacks.
Having broken through to the Fire Element One Star, as long as he stabilizes his cultivation and reflects calmly, it would not be difficult to break through the last layer of the other four elements.
In the desolate land where there were no battles, Xu Feng continued his seclusion. This time, his retreat was not as completely closed off as before when he was breaking through realms; it mainly focused on consolidating his cultivation. From time to time, Xu Feng would venture out to hunt monsters for alchemy purposes. He had already consumed thirty of the forty Super Spirit Pills mixed with It Mountain Spring, and the remaining few had been devoured by A Qi.
Most of the pills he was currently refining were prepared for A Qi, who needed to advance to a Seventh-Level Monster Birdman, creating an insatiable demand. Ever since A Qi developed a fondness for Xu Feng's pills, he had become her dedicated supplier.
With his Golden Core Stage cultivation, Xu Feng no longer needed A Qi to accompany him; he could easily handle a Sixth-Level Monster on his own. In the mysterious space within his mind, the Fire Element One Star under Golden Arrow had already been lit up, indicating that Xu Feng could now use the Third Star's Golden Elixir Arrow Technique.
With double the Arrow Force, ordinary Sixth-Level Monsters stood no chance against Xu Feng's arrows. He only ventured within fifty miles of his residence, wary of going too deep; after all, every ten miles deeper brought significantly stronger monsters. Before A Qi arrived, Xu Feng did not dare to explore recklessly.
While hunting monsters and practicing alchemy to consolidate his cultivation, A Qi was fully immersed in her own rigorous training. Aside from cultivating, she focused solely on that. Every seventh day, Xu Feng would deliver pills to A Qi, each time bringing over a thousand pills. At least two out of every seven days were spent on alchemy. A Qi remained oblivious to anything outside her training and lived a life where pills were handed to her mouth.
After a month, Xu Feng's realm finally stabilized. He once again utilized It Mountain Spring and refined eight Super Earth Origin Pills, preparing to elevate his Earth Element into Golden Core. At the same time, he prepared nearly ten thousand Super Fire Spirit Pills for A Qi.
The other four elements had already reached complete saturation in spiritual energy; they only lacked a moment of enlightenment. With his experience from breaking through Fire Element One Star, it felt like starting anew but with familiarity. Refining Earth Elemental Pills was merely to increase the success rate and ensure a more reliable advancement.
Xu Feng covered the stone door at the cave entrance and entered seclusion simultaneously with A Qi, feeling a bit anxious.
As expected, this time the breakthrough went smoothly and required little effort. Xu Feng successfully upgraded his Earth Element's Earth King Shock to the third layer using just five Earth Elemental Pills. Following that, his strength broke through its confines and rose to the Early Stage of Golden Core.
The breakthrough in Earth Element took less than a month in total.
A Qi remained "dreaming," advancing from Sixth Level to Seventh Level was akin to a human cultivator transitioning from Golden Core to Yuan Ying; one could imagine how formidable that was. Xu Feng understood that this was not achieved overnight and naturally did not disturb this Birdman while continuing his arduous work in alchemy.
A Qi is a Fire Elemental Beast. To better assist A Qi, Xu Feng has been refining Super Fire Essence Pills using fire attribute demon pills. Over the past eight years, the surrounding fire attribute monsters have faced great misfortune, nearly wiped out by Xu Feng. Except for a few powerful Sixth-Level Monsters that Feng does not dare to provoke, other Sixth-Level Monsters flee as soon as they see Xu Feng, running as far away as possible; those who cannot escape quickly become "Catalysts."
As the fire attribute monsters become increasingly scarce, if A Qi does not break through soon, Xu Feng will have to settle for using Fifth-Grade Demon Pills instead.
A Qi remains indifferent and continues to "dream."
While providing A Qi with pills, Xu Feng also immerses himself in hard training. He has already reached the third layer of Fire Element One Star and is working to catch up with the other three elements.
Days of cultivation pass by, and flowers bloom and wither outside the cave.
Spring turns to summer, and five months go by. After five months of training, Xu Feng finally advances the cultivation methods of Gold, Water, and Wood elements to the third layer while also elevating their realms to the Golden Core Stage.
At this point, Xu Feng's Wood Element has fully entered the Golden Core Stage. The Wood Element complements each other, greatly enhancing both his physical body and cultivation.
Finally, after five months of being fed by Xu Feng, A Qi shows signs of movement.
