130 The Different Core Formation Stage Cultivators
The three Core Formation stage cultivators were in a daze and realized that there was no one else next to them. They looked around and could only see a faint purple arc of lightning flickering.
However, it was directly separated by the embryonic form of the heavens and earth magic domains!
When they realized that more than half of their great divine powers had disappeared for no reason, they were even more terrified.
However, the three of them were terrified from different aspects.
"It's the immortal seed! Little immortal king, spare me!" It was Lin Zhongwu's son. He recognized that Fang Jinyu had the characteristics of an immortal seed. And those with immortal seeds were all kings of the same stage!
Therefore, in the upper realm, the Core Formation stage cultivators who possessed immortal seeds were often called "little immortal kings."
It was because those who were able to obtain immortal seeds when they break through the Core Formation stage all had terrifying backgrounds. At the very least, they had the support of an Incarnation stage cultivator!
"Senior, please spare my life! Please!"
Those two who came with Lin Zhongwu's son didn't have much judgment.
They directly mistook Fang Jinyu for a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
It was because they had heard of the phenomenon of the heavens and earth magic domains when a Nascent Soul stage cultivator attacked.
However, Fang Jinyu didn't respond. With a turn of the purple snake, the three Core Formation stage cultivators died without any resistance, leaving behind three cores of different sizes that collided back and forth in the embryonic form of the magic domain in an attempt to escape.
Fang Jinyu wanted to destroy the three cores at the same time, but after glancing at them with his divine sense, he grabbed the three cores instead.
"These three cores…" Fang Jinyu's eyes revealed a strange look because the cores were different from his. It was not just on the size, but on the three cores, there were at least two human faces.
There were two human faces on Lin Zhongwu's son's core. One of them was Lin Zhongwu's son, and the other was someone else's. Moreover, it was unbelievable that it was a woman's face!
As for the other two Core Formation stage cultivators, one of them had four human faces while the other had five.
Other than their faces, there were also human faces that had nothing to do with them!
Men, women, elders, and youngsters.
"Moreover, there are some extremely messy traces of remnant souls in these cores…" Fang Jinyu suddenly thought of a possibility.
It was—these cores weren't cultivated by them!
It was stolen from someone else!
…
Within Demon-extinguishing Immortal City.
After a young man in luxurious clothes broke through the Core Formation stage aura, he scared off a few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who wanted to cause trouble. He immediately showed it off to the delicate girl beside him with a smug expression.
"Junior Sister Murong, you don't have to be afraid. Who dares be impudent in front of me?"
"Thank you, Martial Uncle Su."
Murong Yun lowered her head slightly and thanked him gently, but when she lowered her head, her beautiful eyes revealed a look of disdain.
If it weren't for the fact that she had no one to use, she wouldn't even bother with Su Linhua, the "Martial Uncle Su."
Although Su Linhua was a Core Formation stage cultivator, he had actually used the most shameless secret technique in the upper realm—the core-depositing scripture.
It was a secret technique that allowed one to refine another person's core for their own use.
Once the core was successfully deposited, then no matter how bad one's original talent was, one could successfully break through the Foundation Establishment stage. Afterward, they only needed to blindly refine spiritual energy and consume elixirs to improve their cultivation base.
However, it had a limit.
If a person used the secret technique to deposit a core that was originally ranked 6 in the Core Formation stage, then the highest level of the core one could refine could only be at rank 5.
If someone used the secret technique to deposit a core that had its upper limit reduced to rank 5 in the Core Formation stage, its upper limit would be reduced by another rank.
In the end, it was like the core that Su Linhua used.
Su Linhua needed to use all his inner energy to temporarily break through the Core Formation stage. Usually, he could only reveal his Foundation Establishment stage cultivation base while he was outside.
In addition, although the lifespan of a Core Formation stage cultivator who had used the secret technique would be greatly extended due to the day-and-night nourishment of the Foundation Establishment stage inner energy and the Core Formation stage inner energy, they would only have a lifespan of 120 to 130 years. It was far from the lifespan of a cultivator who naturally broke through the Core Formation stage from the Foundation Establishment stage.
In other words, it was to cut off his upper limit and then enjoy being a Core Formation stage cultivator that only had a hundred years!
Thinking of this, Murong Yun couldn't help but frown slightly.
It was because Murong Yun was puzzled about the situation. She had found out where Shi Wushuang was before she was "reborn." However, how could there not be a single family with the surname Shi in the Demon-extinguishing Immortal City?
Murong Yun clearly remembered that Shi Wushuang came from a cultivation family that wasn't very powerful, but it held a decisive position in an immortal city!
"Could it be that my rebirth has caused some subtle changes?"
Murong Yun couldn't help but think, because before her "reborn," she was still painstakingly cultivating to become a disciple of the Shenhua Sect.
"Damn it!"
"However, in that case, I'll find that Core Formation stage cultivator named Fang Jinyu first!"
Murong Yun immediately changed her mind.
After all, Murong Yun's "memories before her rebirth," told her that although the Core Formation stage cultivator named Fang Jinyu looked ordinary and wasn't famous, he was an extremely powerful alchemist!
Even the best alchemist in the Shenhua Sect, who had the reputation of being the best alchemist in Utopia Land, might not be as good as Fang Jinyu.
It was because Fang Jinyu was a legendary figure who could refine Nascent Soul stage elixirs while having a Core Formation stage cultivation base!
Shi Wushuang's talent in cultivation was extremely poor, but not only did she defeat Murong Yun in the end, she even became the disciple of the Incarnation stage cultivator, Xia Yi. It was all because of the alchemist, Fang Jinyu!
"Why is Shi Wushuang so lucky? Even if her talent is extremely poor, she still has such a hermit expert to protect her?!"
"Why is it so unfair?!"
Murong Yun's expression turned slightly cold.
Murong Yun had already thought of a sure-kill plan. Now, she was just short of finding the legendary alchemist named Fang Jinyu.
After Murong Yun killed the alchemist named Fang Jinyu, she would look forward to how Shi Wushuang could be so lucky!
…
On the Demon-extinguishing Sea.
At this moment, Fang Jinyu was slacking off.
After Fang Jinyu secretly returned, he found that those Core Formation stage cultivators were still fighting fiercely with those Sin Beasts.
Thus, Fang Jinyu followed suit.
Due to the overbearing nature of the spell Fang Jinyu cultivated, when he used his inner energy, it would attract the power of lightning. Therefore, Fang Jinyu was using a superior-grade spirit tool to resist the enemy.
It was originally the first spirit tool Fang Jinyu had refined, a middle-grade spirit tool that wasn't inferior to the Thunderbolt Seal! Since he had made great improvements in his weapon refinement skills, he casually refined it into a superior-grade spirit tool.
If Fang Jinyu added some lightning-attribute spirit tools, the Thunderbolt Seal could immediately become a superior-grade spirit tool. However, he was too lazy to do it.
At this moment, the Thunderbolt Seal changed in size, electric arcs were flowing, and it easily blocked all the Sin Beasts that were attacking him, even injuring one or two from time to time.
Although the grade of the Thunderbolt Seal was low, its performance made the Core Formation stage cultivators around Fang Jinyu look up to it.
It was because the power in front of them was no weaker than the superior-grade spirit tools in their hands.
Just like that, the battle continued for three days and three nights. Finally, there were deaths among the Sin Beasts. They were no longer just injured, but a large number of them died.
Then, the Sin Beasts began to retreat.
Their king was the first to leave because he didn't intend to fight.
Compared to the Sin Beasts with no intelligence, the beast king already could think and was extremely cunning.
"It's not easy to shatter the net of sin's energy of the Sin Beasts! As long as the net of sin's energy doesn't shatter, the Sin Beasts will have an undying body!"
Some Core Formation stage cultivators couldn't help but sigh.
It also made Fang Jinyu understand why these people hadn't been able to kill a single beast.
Fang Jinyu had used his divine sense to scan that layer of the "net of sin's energy" they mentioned. However, it was completely vulnerable in front of his lightning power. It was destroyed in an instant, so he hadn't paid much attention to it.
"It seems like I made the right choice to cultivate the lightning technique."
Fang Jinyu's gaze flickered slightly.
Then, the group of Core Formation stage cultivators returned.
Soon, the news of the disappearance of a general guard and two reserve general guards spread. However, other than the three Core Formation stage cultivators' family members, no one cared about the three of them.
After all, when fighting with the beasts, death and injury were inevitable.
Otherwise, the Demon-extinguishing Immortal City would replenish a few guards from time to time. Especially the last time when the Sin Beasts attacked, more than ten of the Demon-extinguishing Immortal City's guards died!
Soon, the news of the appearance of the Seventh Commander of the Demon-extinguishing Immortal City spread.
It was naturally Fang Jinyu.
Fang Jinyu used some sin cores that he looked down on to exchange for some military merits to make up for the number of military merits and successfully advanced.
The three great families immediately sent people to congratulate him, and at the same time, they also granted him the status of a foreign master of the Zhudao Sect.
Fang Jinyu didn't refuse. It was because the Demon-extinguishing Immortal City was clearly the territory of the Zhudao Sect. If he refused, it would seem like he didn't know how to appreciate favors.
Although Fang Jinyu had previously offended a disciple of the Zhudao Sect, that disciple couldn't represent the entire Zhudao Sect.
Moreover, Fang Jinyu was only a foreign master.
It was similar to an in-name disciple. Their names were recorded in the Zhudao Sect, and then there was nothing else.
Afterward, Fang Jinyu finished socializing with the other six commanders and finally had some free time.
Fang Jinyu took out a jade scroll and started reading it.
Fang Jinyu borrowed it from a commander. It recorded the method of breaking through the Core Formation stage in the upper realm. Of course, there was no specific description of the method. There was only a general description, which was just to increase one's knowledge.
"There are 267 ways to form a grade 9 core."
"There are 135 ways to form a grade 8 core."
"There are a hundred ways to form a grade 7 core. "
"..."
"There are three ways to form a grade 1 core."
After Fang Jinyu finished reading the normal methods of breaking through the Core Formation stage, he discovered a few "alternative methods."
"The core-depositing scripture is the most powerful of the core-depositing secret techniques. It can allow a person to steal the core of another person for their own use with an extremely high success rate. Regardless of whether the original owner of the core was dead or alive! However, it also has many flaws. They won't have the Core Formation stage cultivator's lifespan, and their divine sense is extremely weak. They won't have the flawless physique of the Core Formation stage cultivators, and they will age…"
