Nine Revolutions Golden Core Technique

Qin Fei frowned upon hearing the words of the Lin Household patriarch.

They really will stop at nothing to win me over.

However, he didn't accept Lin Man's feelings when he was still in the Qi Refinement Realm, and now that he is on equal footing with the Lin and Lu families, it's even less likely.

"I am not considering the matter of dao companion for the time being. Please leave."

Having no other choice, the two had to take their leave.

Qin Fei gazed at the figure of the Lu Household patriarch, his eyes gradually turned cold.

The grudges of the past will eventually be settled.

Everyone else had left, leaving only Yunxiu waiting.

Qin Fei led her into the cave abode and poured her a cup of tea.

The relationship between the two is rather mysterious.

At first, there might have been some unpleasantness, but after several interactions, it was quite like turning enemies into friends.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, how have you been?"

"Greetings, senior."

Yunxiu was a little reserved, after all, the person standing in front of her was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

She wondered if Qin Fei had changed after his breakthrough, and she dared not act the same way as before.

"Forget about your words, senior. We've known each other for a while now, so let's just call each other 'fellow Daoist'."

"So, you've come all this way to invite me to join your Heavenly Secret Pavilion, haven't you?"

Seeing that Qin Fei was still the same as before, without any airs of Foundation Establishment cultivator, Yunxiu gradually felt relieved.

However, he still dared not accept the suggestion of interacting with peers.

"How did you know that, senior?"

Qin Fei smiled slightly. On the day he arrived in Repel the North City, he discovered that street vendors were selling Puppet Soldier.

He recognized the refining technique immediately; it was Yunxiu who had created it.

It was around that time that I first heard the name Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

"Heavenly Secret Pavilion, Heavenly Secrets Sect, fellow Daoist, your ambitions are quite lofty."

Yunxiu let out a long sigh and said helplessly:

"Rebuilding a sect is no easy task. Currently, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion only has about twenty people. Apart from myself, who Qi Refining Ninth Layer, the rest are all early to mid-stage disciples."

"Without Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge, it's practically impossible to survive in Repel the North City."

"That's why I came here immediately as soon as I heard that you had reached the Foundation Establishment."

Qin Fei chuckled and shook his head, saying calmly:

We've had quite a bit of contact, you should know my personality.

Yunxiu hummed in agreement and continued:

"I understand, senior, you are focused on your spiritual practice and do not wish to get involved in worldly disputes."

"Therefore, my purpose in coming here is not to ask you to take charge of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, but to seek something else."

With a flick of her Yunxiu, she revealed a scroll in her hand from the Storage Bag at her waist.

"This is the blueprint for a Puppet Core, which would be of great use to me. Unfortunately, my puppetry skills are insufficient to forge it."

"If you can lend me a hand, fellow Daoist, Yunxiu will surely repay you handsomely!"

Qin Fei seemed to be deep in thought. He spread out the blueprints and indeed saw an extremely complex Puppet Core.

Its difficulty was no less than that of his own Iron Guard.

If I'm not mistaken, this should also be a Foundation Establishment Realm Battle Puppet.

He was somewhat puzzled. Yunxiu was only at the Late Qi Refining; even if she managed to refine the Puppet Core, how could she control it?

Since I'm using Spirit Splitting Technique, could there be some other driving method?

Clearly, Yunxiu holds many secrets.

"The Puppet Core is probably difficult to forge. The materials alone are very valuable, and even for me, it would take some time."

Yunxiu was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly said:

"Time is not a problem, and I will prepare extra materials just in case of failure. As long as you can refine it, that's fine!"

"As for the reward, I've gone to great lengths to pay it, but I'm sure you'll be satisfied, fellow Daoist."

She took out another Jade Slip and handed it over.

Qin Fei's Divine Sense entered the room, and after seeing the contents, his expression changed from calm to shock, and finally he frowned.

The Jade Slip contains a secret technique called the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Technique.

The practitioner needs to disperse their internal energy three times each during the early, middle, and late stages of Foundation Establishment to compress their true essence.

After compression, Spiritual Power becomes more condensed.

Core Formation is the process of compressing liquid Spiritual Power into a pill. The more solid the true essence, the higher the probability of Core Formation.

Upon seeing this, Qin Fei was quite surprised; this was actually a secret technique to increase the probability of Core Formation.

It seems Yunxiu was well-prepared and knew what he cared about most.

However, Qin Fei immediately gave a wry smile.

Reaching perfection in each realm requires one to actively disperse one's cultivation and start over, which takes a considerable amount of time.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment, the required Spiritual Qi energy increases dramatically, and cultivation time is already tight, let alone the possibility of dissipating one's cultivation and starting over.

This skill is probably only something that a prodigy with a Heavenly Spirit Root would dare to use.

However, since it involved Core Formation, Qin Fei thought about it and agreed to Yunxiu's request.

It was a simple task, requiring no material gathering and taking very little time.

The two reached a deal, Yunxiu's joy was palpable.

After she left, the Big Yellow unusually came out.

"Is this the only remaining successor of my Heavenly Secrets Sect?"

"Hmm, this woman has quite a few secrets. She's already Qi Refinement Ninth Layer in such a short time. That's much faster than I was back then."

The Big Yellow chuckled dismissively and said:

"She's only half-baked. That's not how you use the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Technique. She only knows one side of the story. Relying on her to revive the Heavenly Secrets Sect is less reliable than relying on you, kid."

Qin Fei glanced at it indifferently and said:

"I never promised you the restoration of the Heavenly Secrets Sect, but what do you mean by saying she's only half-baked?"

"Hehe, you've practically mastered all the secrets of the Heavenly Secrets Sect. Even if you don't admit it, you're practically a disciple of the Heavenly Secrets Sect now. Isn't that another kind of revival?"

"As for why I said she was only half-baked, it's because her explanation of how to use the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Technique was completely wrong."

"This technique was originally intended to be used in conjunction with a body-refining technique. After nine rounds of dispersing internal energy, the true essence does not disappear into thin air, but is used to nourish the physical body."

"A strong physical body and widened meridians will lead to smoother flow of true energy. These two factors complement each other, increasing the probability of Core Formation."

"As for her mention of condensing true essence, that's just a minor, incidental function."

It's true that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

Qin Fei became interested and continued to ask:

Do you have any Body Refining Cultivation Method here?

The Big Yellow shook its head slightly, looking rather disdainful:

"I can't cultivate, so why would I bother memorizing that stuff? I'd rather spend that time chatting with the female disciples."

Qin Fei silent.

He had long discovered that the Big Yellow knew almost nothing about Cultivation Method or Divine Ability, but it had a deep understanding of alchemy, magic arrays, and other arts of immortal cultivation.

When Lu Tianchou Foundation Establishment, it was the Big Yellow that discovered the problem with the formation. He also Big Yellow when he broke through to the second-tier Alchemist.

It seems that when the Big Yellow was under the tutelage of the Heavenly Mystery Elder, he did a lot of research on these things to win his favor.

However, what the Big Yellow said next gave him a glimmer of hope.

"Although I don't remember the Body Refining Cultivation Method, I can sense the aura of someone who has practiced it. There really is one person you know."

"Who?"

"Lu Tianchou."

Upon hearing this name, Qin Fei frowned slightly.

Lu Tianchou was involved in the blood sacrifice of his fellow cultivators and was captured and interrogated by the three major sects. His current whereabouts are unknown.

It seems I can forget about Body Refining Cultivation Method for now.

However, he didn't seem to feel much regret.

Nine instances of dispersing one's cultivation would not only enhance physical strength, but even if it made him invincible in the Foundation Establishment, he would still still be a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

More than two hundred years later, it's still just a mound of yellow earth.

Ultimately, realm is the key. If one can become Core Formation cultivator, one's lifespan can exceed five hundred years, and that is true freedom and ease.

"Alright, now that my cultivation level is stable, it's time to deal with Old Zhang's matter."
