Achieving Pseudo-Core: The Killing Star Descends

"It's a pity that I didn't have time to use Transformation Serpent Bone Spear."

While rushing on the road, Xiao Chen felt a little regretful.

Western Traveler's reinforcements were too fast, so Southern Traveler was completely strangled by Lesser Three Talents Sword Formation, and his whole body Defensive Magic Tool was turned into pieces.

Fortunately, he successfully obtained a side of Mirror-like Golden Light Shield from Western Traveler.

Follow Array Layout Diagram to find the last array plate and get another hundred yuan Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.

Xiao Chen then found a nearby cave, took out two Storage Bag and started refining them.

"Peng!"

The moment the restriction was broken, a ball of Orange Mist was sprayed out from Storage Bag.

This mist is a bit unusual, as it quickly dissolved into the nearby Law Power as soon as it appeared.

"Hey, it's interesting, I actually have a backup plan."

Xiao Chen checked himself, but didn't feel anything unusual.

It might be some kind of toxin, but it's of no use to him.

Western Traveler's carefully prepared assassination method seemed like a small prank to him.

Divine Sense was scanned, and the two Storage Bag contained a total of fifty-eight thousand six hundred and seventy-nine pieces of Spirit Stone.

Among them, there are twelve boxes of different sizes and models, and more Spirit Stone are in bulk.

It seems that the source is quite complex, they should have been stolen from different Righteous Cultivator.

Different from other monks, these two people only brought three copies of Secret Manual.

They are <Yellow Springs Nine Secrets·Winter Toad>, <Divine Fire Seed-Planting Great Art> and <Spirit Origin Kaiyang Talisman Scripture>.

"It's Yellow Springs Nine Secrets again, there won't really be a series, right?"

Xiao Chen curiously picked up the first book Secret Manual and opened it. Sure enough, in terms of writing style and arrangement format, it was exactly the same as the previous Immobilization Art and Icy Water Divine General.

Moreover, these three secret arts all have a common feature, that is, they do not require Essence Blood and Lifespan as a price.

Instead, there must be corresponding spiritual objects and complicated methods of practice.

"There is actually an advancement?"

Xiao Chen looked at the back and found that some advanced cultivation methods were also mentioned in this book Winter Toad.

It is a pity that the book in his hand only mentions a few words. It is obviously a fragment that only contains the content of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and is not a complete inheritance.

This kind of self-conscious behavior reminded him of several previous editions of <Blood Refinement Divine Art>.

Likewise, only Eastern Traveler has a truly complete version. The version circulated by the outside world is missing many things.

And the most powerful one, Soul Severing Needle, was written down in a separate booklet.

Xiao Chen even suspected that what Eastern Traveler got was actually a fragmentary copy, and the real complete copy was only in the hands of Golden Core True Person of the Divine Fire Sect.

The second Secret Manual is the magic fire used by Southern Traveler at the beginning.

Fire can be planted in the remaining monks in advance and then detonated when needed.

The third Secret Manual looks like Cultivation Method from the Spirit Origin Sect.

Xiao Chen looked through it briefly, and it turned out to be Talisman Path Inheritance from the Spirit Origin Sect. It should be the trophy snatched by Western Traveler.

In addition to Cultivation Method, a special magic weapon was unexpectedly discovered in Storage Bag - Ghost Head Seven Forging Blade.

The knife is three feet seven long, and there are white lines carved on the handle that look a little oozing.

But where the tip of the knife should have been, it turned into a ferocious-looking ghost head.

Xiao Chen picked up the big knife and weighed it. It weighed about 440 kilograms.

Generally speaking, most monks will only put one or two pieces of Spare Magical Artifact in Storage Bag.

If there really was something good, it would have been taken out long ago and used against the enemy.

But this time the situation is special. Southern Traveler is trapped in Sword Formation and has no chance to take action.

Therefore, this Ghost Head Seven Forging Blade, which was obviously used for attack, did not have time to take effect.

A great addition to your collection.

In addition, I also got many valuable spiritual objects this time.

There are one Thousand-Year Sword Bamboo, two bottles of Five Lights Profound Water, three bottles of Spirit Blending Pill, and a box of very precious Gilded Thousand-Thread Honey.

This Thousand-Year Sword Bamboo is almost exactly the same as the one used before Xiao Chen Foundation Establishment.

It looks like it comes from the same bamboo forest.

This thing can not only be used for Foundation Establishment, but it is also of great use for Foundation Establishment Cultivator who practices kendo.

The simplest way to use it is to directly squeeze out the Sword Intent contained in it with Law Power for meditating, which can get twice the result with half the effort when practicing Swordsmanship.

As for Five Lights Profound Water, Xiao Chen has been used many times, and it is indeed very easy to use and worthy of its price.

Spirit Blending Pill is a relatively rare Second-Order Nourishing Pill, which has the same effect as Marrow Cleansing and Blood Refining.

After taking it, it can slightly improve the monk's meridians, enhance the smoothness of Law Power operation, and increase Cultivation Speed in disguise.

Although this increase will not be obvious for a while, it will be better if it accumulates over time.

The younger the monk, the greater the benefits he will enjoy from taking Spirit Blending Pill.

The characteristic of this elixir is only two words - luxury.

The Spirit Herb demanded by Spirit Blending Pill is expensive, so the price of the elixir remains high.

It is usually given as a gift by the elders to the juniors who are very optimistic about it, and few monks will buy and take it themselves.

And this thing can be seen occasionally at He Province, but almost never at Li Province.

The above three spiritual items are all good things, but in terms of value, their combined value is not as good as the last box of Gilded Thousand-Thread Honey.

The reason why Xiao Chen knows this is because he read many classics before coming to He Province.

One of the volumes, "He Province·Memoirs of Rare Treasures", which specifically records various rare spiritual objects, mentions this precious spiritual material from Eastern Domain.

It is said that there is a Gilded Secret Realm in Eastern Domain, where tens of thousands of Gilded Flower grow.

At the same time, there are thousands of Yellow-Tailed Silver Ring Bee, living on Gilded Flower pollen and brewing Gilded Flower Honey.

Every fifty years, when Secret Realm is opened, Foundation Establishment Cultivator will enter it to look for the hive and collect honey.

Since Secret Realm can only be entered by Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and Yellow-Tailed Silver Ring Bee is also Foundation Establishment Demon Beast, this process is very dangerous.

But even so, what successful people bring out is only raw materials like Gilded Flower Honey.

It is also necessary to add borneol, Dragon Incense and other spiritual materials, and it will take at least ten years to brew manually.

Only when the hosta is more than three feet tall and the honey is still intertwined can it become a qualified Gilded Thousand-Thread Honey.

Although it is Second-Order Spiritual Object, it is not inferior to Third-Order Spiritual Object in terms of rarity and value.

Not only can it be used in a variety of Third-Order Spirit Pill, it also serves as an important auxiliary drug.

Moreover, nature is a good detoxification medicine, which can resolve almost 99% of poisons that do not exceed the third level.

If taken directly, it can greatly moisturize the monk's lungs and greatly enhance its compliance with Metal Spiritual Power.

The effect is no worse than Purple Gold Spirit Sand, and it is effective for a long time.

If it is Body Cultivator, it can also be used as Body Refining to protect yourself from injury and heal Sacred Pill.

.

Gilded Thousand-Thread Honey is a very precious spiritual object even in Eastern Domain.

Xiao Chen carefully held it in his hands and weighed it. This box was just a standard portion, weighed about three taels, and was worth at least 60,000 Spirit Stone.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I don't know whose heirloom this is?"

The reason why it is said to be a family heirloom is because this box is quite old.

Judging from the jade inlaid on the edge of the box, this box of Gilded Thousand-Thread Honey must have been stored for not even a thousand years, but at least eight hundred years.

But like wine, honey with extremely high purity will be more effective the longer it is kept.

Therefore, this is still an advantage, which means that the value of this box of honey will only be higher.

"This box should also come from Eastern Domain."

Xiao Chen's eyes fell on the complicated and detailed patterns on the side of the box, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Judging from what I have seen during this period, Eastern Domain should be far more prosperous than He Province, otherwise it would not be willing to spend time on these details.

After carefully putting away all the spiritual objects, there were only two items left.

They are one Bounty Order and one Storage Box.

Xiao Chen looked at the portrait on Bounty Order and felt a little familiar. "Why do you look so similar to me?"

After reading the description below, I found that this was indeed the reward for him.

There are also different numbers on the back, with marks printed on the numbers and a blood-red killing word underneath.

He had seen this thing once in Jingchuan County. At that time, he was offered a bounty of 5,000 Spirit Stone, which was the cheapest one.

However, this time the bounty has increased a lot, becoming 60,000 Spirit Stone.

But it still left Xiao Chen speechless. "With such a small price tag, who are you looking down on?"

Others were at Li Province at the time and did not recognize the meaning of the mark.

But this time he recognized it at a glance. The mark on it clearly represented Hui Dong Merchant Guild.

This is interesting, Hui Dong Merchant Guild is secretly hanging his Bounty Order.

"Very good, I've written this down."

No matter what the reason is, it doesn't matter anymore. In short, since the other party has done such a thing, he must pay the due price.

At the latest when he forms the elixir, he will definitely hold his sword and fight Hui Dong Merchant Guild.

Close Bounty Order, open Storage Box.

There was only a small round ball inside, exuding the smell of Demonic Beast Pressure.

Hiss~!

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, closed Storage Box, and opened it again.

Yes, this looks like it should be a Demonic Beast Inner Core.

He reached out and picked up the ball, feeling the familiar weight, wrapped it firmly with Divine Sense, and then injected a little Law Power.

Immediately, a ghostly figure of a six-foot-long fish appeared. It was oval in shape, each fin was yellow, and there were six horizontal stripes on the side of the body.

There is no doubt that this is indeed a genuine Demonic Beast Inner Core.

It just looks like it should be some kind of fish Demon Beast. It doesn't look like the species He Province. It's probably also a product of Eastern Domain.

"Is this so sudden?"

Xiao Chen blinked, this was one of his two major goals for coming to He Province this time.

I originally planned to hunt down the demon cultivator and use Points to exchange for one Inner Core from the six given by the Spirit Origin Sect.

I didn't expect that I could achieve my goal ahead of schedule here.

This is a real surprise.

"I'm going to become Pseudo-Core soon?"

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and calmed down.

Then I carefully recalled what happened with the help of pill formation to Wind Thunder Pair Swords Enlighten Spiritual Mechanism.

Since that day when I came to He Province, Liu Feng has said this way.

Xiao Chen secretly made a note in his mind and had already inquired about this matter before.

Forming Pseudo-Core also has a complete chance of Enlighten Spiritual Mechanism refining Flying Sword into Natal Sword Embryo.

Once successful, you can continue to practice in the future and upgrade Wind Thunder Pair Swords to Spirit Artifact.

According to Chang Shunping, something like this has happened more than once before.

An ancestor of the Chang Family had Forming Pseudo-Core and refined his own Natal Flying Sword.

At that time, Cyan Sun County extended to Qiu Ping County in the north and East Plain County in the west, all belonging to the sphere of influence of the Chang Family.

But there is also a risk in doing so, that is, it will double the difficulty of forming the elixir.

Once it fails, it will be a waste of the Inner Core that the monk finally obtained.

Therefore, over the years, as the number of Demonic Beast Inner Core has become smaller and smaller, there have been fewer and fewer monks who dare to take such risks.

Xiao Chen looked at Inner Core in his hand. "Do you want to give it a try?"

Others are afraid of waste, but the problem is that his Inner Core was almost picked up for nothing.

And even if it fails, you can still exchange it for Inner Core from the Spirit Origin Sect according to the original plan.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen no longer hesitated, and bluffed his fingers to light up a ball of Spirit Fire in the palm of his hand.

Then decisively use Law Power to pull Inner Core, and start roasting with Spirit Fire.

In just a quarter of an hour, Inner Core turned into a ball of Spirit Liquid flashing with dots of Golden Light.

Xiao Chen took a gentle breath and instantly sucked all the Spirit Liquid into his stomach.

Above the Dantian, Inner Core has already expanded to its limit.

Suddenly supplemented by Spirit Liquid, it immediately began to rotate erratically.

Especially as a large amount of Spirit Liquid was absorbed one after another, but it could not be expanded as it should be, it began to tremble violently.

At a certain moment, it seemed that it had reached its limit.

The entire Inner Core was suddenly doubled in size, and its volume expanded eight times in an instant.

Then a feeling of extreme emptiness came, and Law Power began to be absorbed spontaneously from the surroundings.

Xiao Chen suddenly realized that if enough Law Power could not be supplied in time, the ritual training would fail.

Not only will it fail to achieve Pseudo-Core, it will even damage the original Inner Core.

Since the volume has increased eightfold, the demand for Inner Core for Law Power has also increased eightfold.

Xiao Chen picked up the Five Lights Profound Water he had just received without hesitation and drank a bottle in one sip.

With the continuous replenishment of Law Power, Inner Core suddenly became enriched.

However, this is just the beginning.

After absorbing a large amount of Law Power, Inner Core actually began to continue to expand.

The Five Lights Profound Water I just drank was quickly consumed.

Xiao Chen immediately picked up another bottle and drank it too.

At the same time, I took out the Wood Element Spiritual Material I had on Fragrant River Market Exchange Meet from Storage Bag in advance.

Not to mention anything else, he has quite a lot of Wood Element Spiritual Material on him, and they are all of top quality.

After drinking another bottle of Spirit Liquid, Inner Core swelled to the same size as his Dantian.

Then a large amount of Law Power flows from Inner Core into the Dantian, circles around and then flows back again.

From Xiao Chen to Divine Sense Scan, you can see that Inner Core seems to have evolved into his second Dantian.

This cycle ended after about an hour.

At this time, the original Inner Core has become almost exactly the same as Dantian.

This means that everything is going well so far, and the condensation of Forming Pseudo-Core will begin next.

Xiao Chen took another deep breath, took out his own Wind Thunder Pair Swords, placed it in front of his knees and prepared it.

Then I grabbed a Spirit Fruit and ate it in advance to make sure I had enough Law Power.

Then he took a shot of Storage Bag and sprinkled a total of four thousand Spirit Stone in all directions, surrounding him.

In fact, it is not necessarily necessary to use Spirit Stone, but at this time, you must not save things that should not be saved.

.

Not long after, Inner Core began to slowly shrink again, and its surface began to be vaguely coated with a light golden color.

Forming Pseudo-Core, also contains the word Jiedan.

Although it is not as good as the real thing, it can still be regarded as a simulation.

Xiao Chen hurry and focus on this process. This precious opportunity only comes once and must not be missed.

Facts have proved that he seems to be a little too stable.

Forming Pseudo-Core, after all, it's not real.

So after drinking three bottles of Spirit Liquid without using the prepared Spirit Stone, the entire process of condensing the pill ended safely.

Above the Dantian, the original Inner Core turned into a Pseudo-Core with a faint Golden Light, and it looked a little smaller.

That's it now!

Xiao Chen injects Law Power into Flying Sword to maintain resonance.

On the one hand, Divine Sense is highly concentrated on Pseudo-Core and separated from the Dantian.

"Get up!"

Pseudo-Core, which had just condensed into its prototype, immediately trembled, making his heart tighten.

This move is actually very dangerous. We should have waited for Pseudo-Core to be completely stable before we could separate like this.

But by that time, it will be impossible to integrate into Flying Sword.

Fortunately, he finally successfully separated Pseudo-Core from Dantian without any danger.

Once the most thrilling and difficult step is taken, the rest will fall into place.

Xiao Chen opened his mouth slightly, commanded Pseudo-Core with Divine Sense to fly out of his mouth, and then hovered above Wind Thunder Pair Swords.

Then mobilize Law Power to flow from Pseudo-Core to Flying Sword, and then flow from Flying Sword back to Pseudo-Core until both parties are on the same frequency.

On top of Pseudo-Core, the imprint of Wind Thunder Pair Swords clearly emerges.

At the same time, Duijian also successfully activated his originally dormant inspiration under the influence of Pseudo-Core.

In fact, if Xiao Chen does this without the help of Secret Method, the success rate should not be high.

But as Liu Feng said, Wind Thunder Pair Swords originally came from Donghua Yin-Yang Tree, and he already has a good idea, what he lacks is just an opportunity.

Therefore, as long as you get the most critical introduction, you can successfully complete the transformation.

Of course, this alone is not enough to become Spirit Artifact, but it only provides the possibility of continued growth.

Subsequently, Wood Element Spiritual Material needs to be refined to be truly promoted to Spirit Artifact.

But even so, compared to the previous Spirit Awakening, the power of Wind Thunder Pair Swords can at least double.

After getting Spirit Awakening, Xiao Chen quickly took back Pseudo-Core.

Not to mention Pseudo-Core, even the real Golden Core, most of them are not strong.

It is best not to leave the body easily, otherwise if you make a mistake, you will regret it.

Half an hour later.

"Huh~!"

Xiao Chen spit out a mouthful of Turbid Qi, completely stabilizing his own Pseudo-Core.

Then, sensing the abundant Law Power in his body, he couldn't help but smile.

After the monks formed Pseudo-Core, the number of Mana Capacity increased from the original eighty-four to three hundred and thirty-three.

An increase of almost four times.

Although Cultivation Realm has not been improved, with this Total Mana, it can easily suppress ordinary Foundation Establishment Great Perfection monks by driving several times of Law Artifact.

And what's even more powerful is that Pseudo-Core can help monks break through the upper limit of Foundation Establishment.

With Pseudo-Core, monks can comprehend the world just like Golden Core True Person, comprehend Way of Five Elements, Way of Blood Qi, kendo... etc.

Understand how to mobilize nearby Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi when casting Law Technique.

In this case, although Law Technique is still the original Law Technique, the actual power is completely different.

In the distant past, Pseudo-Core was even considered to be a separate realm between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core.

Relevant descriptions can still be found on some remaining Ancient Books.

For Xiao Chen, his happiest thing now is undoubtedly that he no longer needs to worry about the too many Top-Grade Magical Artifact.

Although it is a bit strange to say this, he did have the idea of selling the extra Law Artifact because he had too many Top-Grade Magical Artifact on him.

Such as Golden Bamboo Joint Hairpin and White Bone Staff.

It's just that I haven't found a suitable opportunity, so I haven't taken action until now.

But now with Pseudo-Core, this is no longer a problem, you can keep it for your own use.

Including this time when facing Southern Traveler and Western Traveler, Total Mana was a little nervous.

Obviously there is Top-Grade Magical Artifact among Storage Bag, but we can only rely on Law Technique to fight against the enemy.

If there is one more demon cultivator, although the fight can be won, when the opponent escapes there will not be enough Law Power to keep them all, and at least one will run away.

But it's different now. If there are two more, he will be confident of catching them all.

"Hey, why isn't it dawn yet?"

Xiao Chen walked out of the cave, looked up at the sky and found that it was still night.

When he came to the cave before, it was already around 3:30 pm, so it stands to reason that Forming Pseudo-Core would be quite time-consuming.

As a result, he carefully analyzed the stars and found out, well, it is now a quarter of the night.

It turns out that while he was Forming Pseudo-Core, a day and a night had passed outside.

Counting the time spent refining alchemy at the Chang Family, Xiao Chen has not slept for nearly thirty hours.

But perhaps because of Pseudo-Core, he doesn't feel sleepy at all now, but is more energetic.

I opened the map under the moonlight and figured out the direction.

Xiao Chen rushed to East Plain County non-stop and began his journey to earn points.

He has not forgotten that judging from the news that has been circulated before, nearly forty Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivator invaded this time.

Now there are only four less, and there are more than thirty, and these are all ready-made Points.

At the same time.

He Province Heaven's Secret Pavilion.

Silver Dawn True Person looked up at the sky, his brows furrowed.

As the descendant of Star Gazing Lineage, he has become accustomed to observing the stars every night.

But tonight's starry sky made him feel particularly strange.

"Tianfa murderous intent, time passes."

Silver Dawn True Person suddenly spoke, causing several disciples around him to be startled.

However, a few people looked up at the stars and looked down at their companions, but no one knew what this meant.

In their eyes, tonight was no different from thousands of nights in the past.

So I don't understand at all why my master suddenly said such things.

Silver Dawn True Person was surprised and happy at the same time. "Strange, how could there be such a sudden change?"

He looked around and stroked his beard excitedly. "Did you see it? Killing Star is falling in the east, driving away the clouds and fog."

"In response to this invasion of demonic cultivators, this is great news."

Several disciples around looked at each other. The news they received was that the demonic cultivators had basically occupied the east of East Plain County, and the situation in the Spirit Origin Sect was corrupt.

What good news can there be in this situation?

Could it be that Killing Star really comes to this world and kills all the invading demon cultivators?
