Golden Core Martial Soul Awakening

On the bed where Lin was lying, a gaunt old man kept tossing medicinal ingredients into his cauldron. A pale white flame blazed fiercely in his hand.

As the medicinal ingredients were added, the old man's expression grew increasingly focused.

Lin's eyes were wide open, and he did not dare blink as he watched Lao Yao refine the pill.

Lao Yao's pill-refining techniques were dazzling. The pale white flames burned ever more fiercely, and the fragrance of the medicine gradually overflowed. Fortunately, Lao Yao controlled everything, and the medicinal fragrance did not spread outside.

As time slowly passed, a pill gradually condensed in Lao Yao's hand.

This pill contained both ice and fire. An icy and blazing aura rushed toward them, carrying the unique fusion of water and fire along with a faint fragrance. The pill slowly took shape in Lao Yao's hand.

"Kid, this pill was refined using the ten-thousand-year Six-Horned Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot Delicate as its main ingredients, along with some heavenly treasures that are not Immortal Herbs."

"If you take it, your body will be able to withstand my attachment."

Lao Yao had not fully recovered yet. The Soul Power consumed in refining the pill had been produced after his awakening by converting some of the power from those low-level Immortal Herbs.

Lin swallowed hard. Two ten-thousand-year Immortal Herbs, along with other medicinal ingredients—the power contained in this pill would not blow him apart, would it?

"Old man, can I really take this pill in my current state?"

Lin was certainly bold, but he was not a fool.

"Of course you can. This pill was refined specifically for you."

"After taking it, you will not absorb it all at once. Instead, it will slowly be consumed during your future cultivation."

"Once the pill's effects are completely absorbed, your physique will be comparable to a demon beast's."

Lao Yao explained it to Lin. The effects of this pill were no trifling matter. If all of its energy were refined at once, Lin would surely explode.

As for how long it would take to fully absorb the energy within this pill, even Lin did not know.

"Old man, what grade is this pill?"

Lin was very curious. This pill was so powerful; it could not be of too low a grade.

"This pill formula was modified based on my original world. As for its grade, it is probably around the fifth grade."

Lao Yao looked at the pill and pondered for a moment. Refining this pill seemed to have consumed all the Soul Power provided by those Immortal Herbs.

If it had been refined with Soul Power, the pill's effects would have been much stronger.

A fifth-grade pill! Lin subconsciously swallowed. Just hearing about it made him feel like he was about to fly.

Lao Yao casually handed the pill to Lin. "Take it."

Lin accepted the pill and swallowed it in one gulp without hesitation.

In an instant, an enormous surge of energy flooded into Lin's body. Half of his body burned with heat, while the other half condensed with frost.

The icy and blazing energies intertwined within his body, surging through his limbs and bones. Every inch of his body was washed by that enormous power.

Lao Yao glanced at his masterpiece with satisfaction, then immediately entered the ring.

After refining a pill, he needed to rest properly.

There were still many pills waiting for him to refine.

Lin began refining the energy within the pill.

After an entire night, the room where Lin was staying shone with a golden glow.

Poison Unkillable, Long Ao Tian, and Ling Na also arrived.

"Old man, what powerful cultivation technique is Junior Brother cultivating?"

Long Ao Tian could not help asking. That enormous energy made him feel a trace of fear.

Ling Na's eyes also lit up. Ever since learning that she had a junior brother, she had been very curious, but she had never seen him before.

Poison Unkillable stroked his beard. "I'm not sure either. Perhaps he is awakening his own innate martial soul."

Long Ao Tian's eyes brightened. Martial soul awakening? Could it really be that powerful? Junior Brother could not actually be awakening some extraordinary martial soul, could he?

Ling Na was also extremely curious. The more she heard about Junior Brother, the more curious she became.

The golden light in the room was covered by the glow of Poison Unkillable's Soul Power. Poison Unkillable took responsibility for everything that had happened today.

Time passed slowly, and Lin remained immersed in cultivation, unaware of how long had gone by.

When he awoke once more, he only felt that his body had grown another step stronger.

"Martial soul awakening!"

Lin murmured softly. The martial soul within him emitted a faint dark-purple glow.

As Lin's martial soul stirred, his body involuntarily radiated a golden light. That light quickly transformed into gold.

Golden Core martial soul awakening!

It worked. One pill had awakened his Golden Core martial soul.

The moment the room began to shake, his strength increased by a full three times.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three figures appeared beside Lin.

They were not strangers, but Poison Unkillable and the other two.

By then, nearly all of the Body Sect's higher-ups had been dispatched to gather the materials Poison Unkillable needed.

"Kid, has your martial soul undergone a Golden Core awakening?"

Poison Unkillable stared wide-eyed at the faint golden light on Lin's body, unable to hide his astonishment.

That phenomenon was precisely the sign of a Golden Core martial soul awakening.

Lin replied with a smile, "Yes, Elder, it has already reached the Golden Core level of awakening."

"Hahaha, good kid! As expected of my disciple."

"Tell me, how did you do it?"

Poison Unkillable was intrigued. This was a Golden Core awakening, after all. Those who could awaken their martial souls to this level were exceedingly rare.

Poison Unkillable was curious, and so were Long Ao Tian and Wei Na.

Before Lin could speak, Lao Yao emerged from the storage ring. "Unkillable, I modified your Body Sect secret technique. Have the kid give it to you later."

Hearing Lao Yao's words, Poison Unkillable immediately laughed and left with Long Ao Tian and Wei Na.

Long Ao Tian and Wei Na looked confused, their faces full of question marks. What was going on?

Lin was equally baffled. It was not until Lao Yao came out, holding the Body Sect secret technique in his hand, that Lin understood what had happened.

"Kid, while you were refining the pill over the past few months, Lao Yao and I revised the Body Sect secret technique."

"Martial soul awakening will be much easier now. You'll only need to combine it with medicinal ingredients for a greater chance of success."

"Give these things to Poison Unkillable later. I've already told him about the side effects."

After saying that, Lao Yao left the Body Sect secret technique behind and returned to the storage ring.

Lin looked through the Body Sect secret technique carefully. Awakening had indeed become much easier, and the side effects had been reduced by more than half.

It was far better than consuming one's origin and lifespan.

Lin silently put away the Body Sect secret technique. He had not expected that several months had already passed while he refined the pill.

With the Golden Core awakening, his soul power had been pushed to the 30th Rank.

Lin could not help but marvel at the pill's power. It had not yet been completely refined, and the remaining medicinal power still lingered within his body.

The soul power left behind when the Ice Emperor transformed into a soul had also been sealed within his body.

As long as Lin cultivated step by step, his strength would rise very quickly.

However, he still needed to cultivate his Soul Core. With the two kept in balance, his cultivation speed would only be comparable to that of an ordinary genius.
