Blood Absorbing Jade, Pure Void Yuan Pill (4K)

As for the Blood Absorbing Jade, its original form is a relatively common type of spiritual jade, which is actually mild and harmless.

However, it was later discovered that as long as one cuts open their own flesh and then sews the spirit jade into their body, it can be obtained.

Then one can nourish the spirit jade with one's own Essence Blood for a long time.

Depending on the Qi and Blood Concentration, it can take five to ten years to form a blood-absorbing Blood Absorbing Jade has absorbed a large amount of Essence Blood and blood.

However, doing so over time will cause the donor to lose hope of breaking through to the next Major Realm.

In severe cases, it can even shorten one's lifespan significantly.

The Gui Yun Sect offered a purchase price of 600 Spirit Stone for each piece of Blood Absorbing Jade.

After deducting the cost of purchasing fifty spirit jades, you can still get five hundred and fifty Spirit Stone.

Xiao Chen's first reaction upon hearing this was—is this really not an act of demonic cultivation?

He didn't know much about Soul Nurturing Jade, but he knew a great deal about the Cultivator Essence Blood.

Simply put, everything that requires the Cultivator Essence Blood is inextricably linked to the demonic path.

Normally, there are only two ways to obtain Essence Blood.

The first method is to directly Bandit Cultivator and hunt down other cultivators, then use Secret Method to refine their Essence Blood.

The second method was to use violence to coerce the other cultivators, forcing them to hand over their own Essence Blood.

Both of these behaviors are despised by Righteous Cultivator, but they are the things that demonic cultivators love to do.

Because the latter has neither conscience nor morality.

But this was the first time Xiao Chen had ever heard of a regional sect actively acquiring Cultivator Essence Blood through acquisition.

How can I put it?

They're just exploiting the lower-level cultivators!

Both literally and metaphorically, it's about sucking blood.

Putting aside other considerations, just the fact that the Blood Absorbing Jade can shorten one's lifespan is practically selling one's Lifespan with Spirit Stone.

"Are all those rogue cultivators rushing over here to sell the Double Jade?"

Xiao Chen was somewhat incredulous. "Is no one going to do anything about this? Doesn't the Holy City in the south care?"

This wasn't just a naive idea on his part.

He completely understood that with a large number of cultivators, it was impossible for all of them to be good people; inevitably, some bad people would appear among them.

However, what if a kind-hearted top cultivator couldn't stand it?

That situation can be completely reversed through one's own strength.

After all, the great power of the Cultivation World belongs to oneself, and the will of the strongest is the greatest rule.

Moreover, it is crucial to note that while certain powerful demonic cultivators may hold the advantage at certain times...

However, as long as a top-tier Righteous Cultivator is born in the future, the world can be cleansed and order restored.

In the Old Cultivation World, this was how it was done in both the Southern Domain and Eastern Domain.

A Genius Cultivator rises up and can easily shatter the Demonic Sect, sweeping it into the dustbin of history.

Therefore, Xiao Chen wondered if any righteous and talented individuals had ever emerged from this place.

Or perhaps, in all these years of New Cultivation World, there hasn't been a single person with exceptional strength who also cares deeply for the common people?

That can't be right, can it?

Chen Fan paused for a moment upon hearing this before replying, "Reporting to Senior, a small portion of these collected Double Jade will be left behind by various blessed lands."

"The rest will be sent to the Holy City to be traded as hard currency during the Immortal Selection Festival."

"The Holy City will also offer some top-grade spiritual items that are not normally sold to the public; they can only be purchased by Double Jade."

So the situation is quite obvious.

Not only do they not care, but the fact that the Double Jade Assembly can spread throughout the entire Cultivation World is also due to the support and encouragement from the Holy City Cultivator.

"Actually, we're already quite lucky."

Chen Fan smiled wryly, "I've heard that a long time ago, some blessed lands would even force the rogue cultivators within their territories to offer Double Jade as tribute."

"But it seems that a major upheaval occurred a million years ago."

"Unfortunately, all relevant books and records from that period have been banned by the Holy City and completely destroyed."

"I heard it from people talking about it privately; it seems a blessed land in the south has been removed from the list."

"In short, starting from 800,000 years ago, the major blessed lands stopped forcing people to offer Double Jade, and instead chose to openly purchase them with Spirit Stone through voluntary transactions."

"To ensure everyone can trade with peace of mind, Patrol Team will be deployed to crack down on Bandit Cultivator."

"Anyone who dares to cause trouble at this time will be considered Spirit Thief and will be wanted by the authorities."

"Nowadays, people are even allowed to set up stalls nearby and organize private transactions."

"For Wilderness Cultivators, this is one of the very few opportunities to reliably and safely obtain Spirit Stone."

"Therefore, most of the Wilderness Cultivators will take this opportunity to come and sell their Double Jade, and also buy some cultivation supplies to take back."

"After all, Spiritual Qi is scarce in the outside world, and everyone really needs this money."

I understand now.

Xiao Chen understood. It seemed that there had indeed been Resistor here, but ultimately they were unable to change the overall situation.

Moreover, after suffering a loss, they even took the initiative to make some changes.

Well, the lower-level cultivators in this world are really unlucky.

Xiao Chen looked at Chen Fan: "You haven't undergone jade cultivation or had jade implanted inside your body, have you?"

Both of these behaviors will greatly deplete a cultivator's potential; even a genius will slowly turn into a useless person.

"Reporting to Senior, I don't have one yet."

Chen Fan shook his head. "Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu have always taken special care of me since I was little, and they don't let me have any contact with Double Jade."

"They say I'm a cultivator with some talent, and that I might have a chance to break through to the Golden Core in the future, escape this quagmire of the wasteland, and become a resident of the market town."

"I didn't cultivate diligently enough before, and I almost disappointed Uncle Xu."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen felt relieved. "That's good. Such a deal is a complete trap. Unless absolutely necessary, never sell your future."

"From now on, you and the three members of the Xu Family will no longer need to have any contact with Double Jade."

"If we recruit other people in the future, we should not have them continue to support Double Jade."

As the two were talking, the front door opened.

Xu Dayou walked back with a nervous expression, and the first thing he did was turn around and close the door.

Then he turned back and walked into the house.

"Uncle Xu, weren't you supposed to be working in the mine today? Why are you back early?"

Chen Fan immediately realized something was wrong. "Has something happened?"

Xu Dayou then seemed to notice that there were actually two other people in the not-so-large courtyard.

I was instantly jolted awake.

Then he stared blankly at Xiao Chen for a couple of seconds.

Realizing what was happening, he quickly greeted her, saying, "Greetings, Senior Xiao!"

He also subconsciously lowered his voice while speaking.

He immediately realized something was wrong, so he raised his voice and bowed again.

The person looked as if they hadn't returned to their own home, but rather had been caught stealing from someone else's house; they were extremely cautious and apprehensive.

What's going on with you?

Xiao Chen asked curiously, "Don't be nervous, take a breath and tell me slowly."

Xu Dayou seemed to have found his anchor and was visibly more relaxed.

A hint of joy appeared on his face. "Today, the Inspector from the mine's 'Lucky Ground' came to patrol. I happened to overhear him giving instructions to our supervisor while I was delivering ore."

"They say that at this Double Jade Assembly, the blessed land will offer three ' Golden Core Formation ' for auction."

He looked at Chen Fan: "Aren't you about to reach the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection?"

"With the Spirit Stone Senior Xiao gave us, maybe we can manage to get one this time too."

"With this 50% success rate in Core Formation, Xiao Fan, your disadvantage in Spirit Root will no longer be a problem."

"I believe that with your comprehension, you are definitely no worse than the other cultivators!"

As Xu Dayou spoke, his voice began to tremble.

He was clearly a little excited. "I waited an hour before pretending to be unwell and asking for leave to come back."

"I was just about to discuss with your aunt how to raise more Spirit Stone to participate in the auction."

"My two Blood Absorbing Jade pieces are almost fully repaired, but her Soul Nurturing Jade piece is still lacking."

"I'll try to keep the jade healthy these next few days, so I can get an extra two thousand Spirit Stone for the bid."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan felt a lump in his throat and turned to look at the large box in the courtyard filled with Spirit Stone.

He suddenly felt that even becoming a spy was no longer such an unacceptable thing.

It would be more meaningful to accept these Spirit Stone and help Uncle Xu's family get rid of Double Jade in time.

"Wait a minute, we'll talk about the Spirit Stone later."

Xiao Chen interrupted, "What do you mean by a 50% success rate for Core Formation? What is this ' Golden Core Formation '?"

When he first heard that, he thought Xu Dayou had made a mistake.

However, Chen Fan did not offer any reminders or rebuttals.

That's very strange. What could possibly offer a 50% success rate for Core Formation? Is it really true?

To be fair, he's quite well-read now.

However, on the other side of the Compassion Sea, there has never been a miraculous elixir with such exaggerated effects in history.

Even the strongest Breakthrough Spirit Pill, combined with the Pill Mark amplification provided by Fourth-tier Alchemist, can only increase the success rate by a maximum of 35%.

Don't think that 35% is not much different from 50%.

It's no exaggeration to say that if the success rate of breakthroughs in the Compassion Sea could increase by 15%, it would at least double the total number of Golden Core cultivator.

Xu Dayou was taken aback upon hearing this.

What does Senior Xiao mean by this question?

On the contrary, Chen Fan had gotten used to Xiao Chen seemingly lacking any common sense.

He proactively replied, "Reporting to Senior, the ' Golden Core Formation ' was originally called the Pure Void Yuan Pill, Breakthrough Spirit Pill that can only be produced in small quantities in major blessed lands and Holy City."

"They are almost never sold to the public; they are all reserved for the best disciples within the sect."

"Its main function is to increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivators breaking through to the Golden Core stage by an additional 50%."

"It's more than twice as effective as the Breakthrough Spirit Pill commonly found in the wasteland."

"Because of its exceptional effects, obtaining even one pill almost guarantees the formation of the Golden Core in the future."

"Gradually, it gained the nickname ' Golden Core Formation,' while the original name was almost never used anymore."

As he spoke, a hint of anticipation crept into Chen Fan's voice.

"Is this effect really reliable?"

Xiao Chen pressed further, "Is this news spread from various blessed lands, or has it already been verified by many Wilderness Cultivators?"

He already knew what was going on in his mind.

As the saying goes, there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names.

Since it has earned the nickname ' Golden Core Formation ', its effectiveness should be beyond doubt.

The news was so bizarre that Xiao Chen wanted to confirm it again.

After all, the Breakthrough Spirit Pill, as the most important elixir, has always been the most important thing for all Alchemist.

Although it seems Xiao Chen no longer needs it.

However, stronger elixirs often represent more advanced alchemy techniques.

Now that the Breakthrough Spirit Pill for reaching the Golden Core stage have been improved, what about the stages beyond that?

Has anyone broken through to the Nascent Soul?

Has he even broken through to the Spirit Transformation?

Leaving aside the distant past, Xiao Chen hasn't even Nascent Soul Formation stage yet in the path of Body Cultivator.

If there were a more effective Nascent Soul Forming Spirit Pill here, he could naturally enjoy the corresponding benefits as well.

"Reporting to Senior, there have been many Pure Void Yuan Pill released by blessed lands before, and almost all the cultivators who managed to grab the pills succeeded."

Chen Fan thought for a moment, "Judging from various rumors, the success rate should be over 80%."

"For almost every ten spirit pills produced, eight Golden Core True Person are born."

This is probably much more normal now.

The reason why the effect is so drastically increased is mostly because those Wilderness Cultivators who can obtain the ' Golden Core Formation ' are not simple people.

That's just how it appears.

The alchemy techniques in this world are indeed far superior to those in the Compassion Sea.

They excel in formations, weapon crafting, and alchemy, holding a significant lead in all major areas.

It can be basically confirmed that the overall level of the New Cultivation World is significantly higher than that of the Old Cultivation World.

For Xiao Chen, this was both good news and bad news.

The good news is that he can try to acquire better resources and skills from here, thus enjoying the benefits of technological superiority.

The bad news is that this could also mean there are more and stronger dangers here.

The simplest reasoning is that an increase in the number of Golden Core cultivators will lead to an increase in the number of Nascent Soul Cultivator, which in turn will lead to an increase in the number of Spirit Transformation Venerable.

That means Xiao Chen is more likely to encounter Spirit Transformation Venerable in this realm.

He had previously heard that the Spirit Transformation Venerable here did not seem to be hiding; on the contrary, Venerable would occasionally make public appearances around the Holy City.

This increases the likelihood of unexpected encounters.

Fortunately, Gui Yun Market seems to be quite a distance from the legendary Holy City.

As long as you stay within 10,000 miles of that area, you can significantly reduce the possibility of unexpected encounters.

In particular, this world is full of barren wastelands lacking Spiritual Qi.

Those Spirit Transformation Venerable certainly don't like environments with scarce Spiritual Qi, so under normal circumstances, they are unlikely to wander in the wasteland.

Xiao Chen glanced at Chen Fan and Xu Dayou in front of him.

Regarding high-level cultivators, these two could not provide reliable information.

After all, their own Cultivation Realm is too low, and the information they obtain is likely to be biased.

Asking them about this might actually lead to being misled.

It seems I'll have to go find Zhang Cunfu next.

Find out what's going on on his end, and ask him if he has any reliable information.

Of course, the best way is for Xiao Chen to directly trade information with local Nascent Soul Cultivator.

But he was also a little hesitant; should he make a public appearance right now?

If I were to go, what identity should I use to approach the other party?

This is a problem that needs careful consideration.

Given the current state of the New Cultivation World, I'm afraid there are very few rogue Nascent Soul who can directly break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the wasteland.

Even if they did, they would have already become famous by the Golden Core Realm, and it would be difficult for them to hide until the Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, with such sparse Spiritual Qi, it's impossible for a young cultivator like Xiao Chen to break through.
