After the true essence within his body had completely solidified, it seemed to form a disorderly crystal that bobbed and sank within Li Qing's dantian.
"I heard that the better a cultivator's aptitude, the rounder the crystal formed after their mana solidifies."
"If one possesses a Heavenly Spiritual Root, then once their mana solidifies, it will directly form a natural golden core."
Li Qing felt rather envious. No wonder people always said those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots encountered no bottlenecks when forming their cores. Cultivators with such aptitude only needed to focus on solidifying their own mana during Core Formation.
Once their mana had completely solidified, a round golden core would naturally take shape. They simply did not need to painstakingly polish it like Li Qing did.
The worse one's aptitude, the more disorderly the crystal formed, and the more effort was required to polish it into a true golden core.
This was because when those with multiple Spirit Roots cultivated and meditated, the World Spiritual Energy they absorbed was likewise a mixture of many attributes!
Li Qing quickly set aside his envy. His eyes narrowed slightly as he immersed all his focus into his dantian.
The third step: polishing the golden core!
The most crucial element of this step was spiritual sense. If one's spiritual sense was not strong enough, one could very likely fail at the final hurdle.
Fortunately, Li Qing had already cultivated the Soul Core Art. At this moment, the strength of his spiritual sense far surpassed that of cultivators of the same realm, comparable to the soul strength of a Core Formation Realm cultivator!
