A Golden Core in a Hundred Years! (Part One) (In Celebration of Alliance Leader Essentials of Demonic Cultivation!)

Wu Cheng'en spoke firmly, without the slightest apparent hesitation, looking ready to spill his brains and blood in Liu Yu's service.

In truth, with Wu Chang's accumulated savings and his own efforts, he could just about exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill in another ten years or so.

But even with a Foundation Establishment Pill and some ordinary Spirit Treasures for foundation establishment, Wu Cheng'en's mediocre aptitude meant his chances of success would not exceed forty percent.

His chances of failure far outweighed his chances of success.

And if he failed, Wu Cheng'en would follow his father's old path, almost certainly losing any chance of attempting foundation establishment again.

But things would be different if he won Liu Yu's favor. A casual gift of one or two Spirit Treasures could greatly improve his chances.

A reward casually bestowed by Martial Uncle Liu might far surpass what father and son had accumulated over decades.

Even taking a step back, success would only make him a newly advanced Foundation Establishment Cultivator. His Dao path ahead would still be difficult.

Wu Chang had only been a Qi Refining Cultivator, and most of the connections he left behind were also in the qi refining period. They could offer Wu Cheng'en little help.

Liu Yu, however, was now a True Disciple, one of the sect's highly sought-after "Golden Core seeds."

His chances of core formation were very promising, and he would very likely become a "Golden Core patriarch" in the future.

If Wu Cheng'en could build a good relationship with "Martial Uncle Liu" now and become a favorite of the future "Elder Liu," his prospects would be incomparably better than those of a newly advanced Foundation Establishment Cultivator without any backing.

Life would offer much more to look forward to as well.
