Perfect Golden Core Method! Gold-Devouring Beast!
"I've finally managed to deduce the framework for the first three stages of the Golden Core Realm. This deduction technique is much more difficult than I expected."
In the jade cave, Lu Qing opened his eyes with sighs.
A month had passed since he killed the Gray Robe Man.
Lu Qing did a lot of things in the past month.
For example, rearranging the village's formations and passing on the Water Attribute martial arts technique obtained from the White Robe Youth to Xiao Yan.
They also selected two suitable magical artifacts for their master to refine, and so on.
Of course, he spends most of his time creating the cultivation method that best suits him.
Lu Qing originally thought that with the help of his Supernatural Ability, he could create his own cultivation technique in a short time.
As it turned out, he was being too optimistic.
Creating his own martial arts technique proved far more difficult than he had anticipated.
Even with the help of Supernatural Ability, plus the Great Dao Chapter and many cultivation techniques as references.
It still took him a month to deduce the first three stages of the Golden Core Elixir Method that suited him.
Moreover, apart from the first turn being fully deduced, the remaining two turns are only frameworks.
He still needs to gradually deduce and supplement the details in the days to come.
"Well, at least we managed to deduce it. What should we name this cultivation technique?"
Lu Qing stroked his chin, lost in thought.
He still wanted to give his future main cultivation technique a catchy name.
However, after thinking it over and over, Lu Qing still couldn't come up with a good name.
In the end, he could only sigh in resignation.
"Very well, from now on this technique shall be called the [Perfect Golden Core Method]."
Perfectly, this name also fits the characteristics of his Golden Core.
After naming his cultivation technique, Lu Qing prepared to begin practicing it.
No matter how well a cultivation method is deduced, its effectiveness can only be known after actual practice.
Without hesitation, Lu Qing immediately focused his mind and calmed his emotions before entering a meditative state to cultivate according to the [Perfect Golden Core Method] he had deduced.
As a technique he personally deduced, every detail had been pondered and deduced countless times.
So even though it was his first time formally cultivating, Lu Qing was still very familiar with the process and quickly got into the zone.
As he activated his inner energy cultivation technique, the rich spiritual energy within the cave began to fluctuate, and he continuously absorbed it into his body.
Before long, after a small cycle of energy circulation was completed, Lu Qing felt that his magical power had been slightly enhanced.
"It works!"
Lu Qing's spirits lifted, and he immediately continued his cultivation.
With each cycle of the microcosmic orbit, Lu Qing absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy from the cave.
The array within the entire Jade Cave Chamber also began to operate, continuously gathering spiritual energy from the outside world to replenish it.
With a large supply of spiritual energy, as Lu Qing cultivated, the Mana Golden Core within his Dantian Qi Sea gradually strengthened.
However, half an hour later, Lu Qing frowned and opened his eyes.
He discovered that the spiritual energy inside the cave had become much thinner.
The speed at which the entire Jade Cave Chamber formation gathered spiritual energy couldn't even keep up with his cultivation needs.
As the spiritual energy slowly returned to the cave, a crystal-clear, warm stone suddenly appeared in Lu Qing's hand.
It was a Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
There was no other way but to follow his deduced "Perfect Golden Core Method".
Every thirty-six small cycles of the celestial sphere complete one major cycle of spiritual practice.
Only when a complete cycle of the Heavenly Circulation is completed can it be considered a full first rotation of the cultivation technique.
He hasn't even completed one full cycle of spiritual energy circulation yet, and the spiritual energy in the cave is already insufficient, so he has to use Spirit Stone to cultivate.
With the Spirit Stone in hand, Lu Qing immediately used his mind to communicate with the spiritual energy within it.
The next moment, a surge of powerful spiritual energy burst forth and was quickly absorbed by Lu Qing.
As expected of a treasure that was regarded as a strategic resource by Ancient Cultivation Era, even Low-Grade Spirit Stone contains an abundance of spiritual energy.
Furthermore, its purity far surpasses that of ordinary spiritual energy.
With the help of the Spirit Stone, Lu Qing's microcosmic orbit circulation speed also became much faster.
With each cycle of the microcosmic orbit, the thirty-sixth microcosmic orbit was finally completed.
Lu Qing felt a jolt in his body, Mana Golden Core within him also trembled, slowly turning like a millstone.
After the rotation stopped, he clearly felt that the power of his Mana Golden Core had increased slightly.
Sensing these changes, Lu Qing's face lit up with joy.
The enhancement of his Mana Golden Core indicates that the first stage of the Golden Core technique he deduced is completely without problems.
However, after the initial joy, Lu Qing frowned again.
He sensed the Low-Grade Spirit Stone in his hand and found that about one-fifth of its spiritual energy had been consumed.
Just one complete cycle of the Heavenly Cycle consumed one-fifth of the spiritual essence of a Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
This doesn't even include the large amount of spiritual energy accumulated in the Jade Cave Chamber.
To fully master this first stage of cultivation, how many Spirit Stone would be needed? Of course, besides Spirit Stone, pills can also promote cultivation.
Among the Storage Magic Treasure left behind by the Gray Robe Man and his Senior Brother were some pills that could increase cultivation.
However, Lu Qing estimated that even if he included those pills, they probably wouldn't be enough to sustain his cultivation for too long.
After doing the calculations, Lu Qing's expression immediately turned rather unpleasant.
The Perfect Golden Core that one condenses oneself is indeed powerful, but the resources required to cultivate it are truly terrifying.
He originally thought that with the resources left behind by the Gray Robe Man and his fellow Senior Brother, he would not lack cultivation resources for a long time to come.
But now it seems he was too optimistic.
The Perfect Golden Core inside his body was a complete Gold-Devouring Beast! After thinking for a while, Lu Qing still couldn't come up with a good solution, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being.
He also knew that this was unavoidable.
The Perfect Golden Core Elixir is of too high a grade and its power is too great.
It would be extremely difficult for such a powerful Golden Core to further enhance its power.
In the future, each time his Golden Core is upgraded, it will probably require a massive amount of resources.
"It seems I should travel to other places more often when I have time."
According to the senior 'Yan', Spirit Stone can only be born in places where spiritual energy gathers under intense pressure.
If we could find one or two Spirit Stone mines, perhaps we could solve this problem of cultivation resources.
"Yan" once said that in the Ancient Cultivation Era, the appearance of every Spirit Stone mine could trigger large-scale battles.
Spirit Stone are a strategic resource that no sect can afford to ignore.
Even for Nascent Soul Great Power stage, Spirit Stone are always a welcome addition, and they would never be dissatisfied with them.
Therefore, once an unclaimed Spirit Stone mine appears in the world, it will inevitably lead to fierce competition and bloodshed.
Of course, Lu Qing doesn't need to worry about such things now.
With his current strength, he doesn't believe anyone in the world can snatch food from his grasp.
"However, we can talk about traveling the world later, but there are some grudges that we can settle now."
A Leng Yi suddenly appeared in Lu Qing's eyes.
