Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 173 - 118: Qi Chuan’s Confidence, Divine Soul Breakthrough!
Situ Jiang looked at Qi Chuan in astonishment.
Just now, he simply told Qi Chuan some things about Core Formation, just to give him a general impression, nothing more.
Unexpectedly, after listening to such simple explanations, Qi Chuan said he had some confidence in forming a Core?
If it were anyone else saying this, he would only think that the person was bragging.
However, Qi Chuan should not be of such a frivolous character.
"Perhaps Qi Chuan is just trying to comfort me," Situ Jiang thought.
Immediately, he chuckled and said, "Well, since your questions are asked and answered, if there’s nothing else, go and cultivate, prepare well for your Core Formation."
He said this somewhat jokingly.
But Qi Chuan took it seriously.
"Thank you, Master. I will definitely prepare well for Core Formation. Farewell." Qi Chuan bowed to Situ Jiang again, saying so, then turned to leave.
"Come back."
Just as he was about to turn, he heard Situ Jiang’s voice behind him.
Qi Chuan turned around and saw Situ Jiang once again taking out ten Illusion Body Talismans and ten Concealing Breath Talismans, handing them to him, and said, "These two kinds of Talismans are at the Tier Two Top Grade level. You are now still at the Tier Two Lower Grade Talisman Master level and can’t make them yourself for a long time."
"You might have used a few when returning to your family before, take these to use then."
Seeing this, Qi Chuan did not pretend to be modest, thanked him again, and then put away the talismans before finally leaving.
This time, before visiting his Master, Qi Chuan brought three items: the Elder Token from Celestial Soul Hall, the Blood Refining Technique at the Foundation Establishment Level, and the Dark Token from North Magnetic Mountain, leaving them all but taking away twenty Tier Two Top Grade Talismans.
And watching Qi Chuan’s figure disappear beyond the Cave Mansion gates, Situ Jiang shook his head with a smile, then waved his hand to close the Cave Mansion doors and the array outside.
Then, after drinking a few more sips of Spirit Tea, he got up and left the guest room inside the Cave Mansion, heading to his secluded Stone Chamber.
This was to prepare for cultivation.
Currently, although he was at Foundation Establishment Perfection, he still needed to cultivate to keep his mana at its peak.
Besides, persistent cultivation, though useless in advancing his mana further, could constantly hone his state of mind.
All this was to prepare for the Fake Pill.
The item Profound Sword True Master left for him in the Wind Moon Sect’s Treasure Vault was not guaranteed to make Foundation Establishment Perfection achieve a Fake Pill. He still needed to strive, maintain and improve his condition, to prevent himself from failing at the crucial moment.
As for Qi Chuan...
Honestly, he just invested a little, tilted some resources, keeping a glimmer of hope, whether Qi Chuan can achieve Core Formation depends half on him and half on fate, Situ Jiang could not guarantee.
Even if Qi Chuan could succeed, it wouldn’t be in time.
Since Profound Sword True Master went into seclusion until now, there has been no news, Situ Jiang had to prepare for the possible scenario where he might fail to break through to Nascent Soul True Monarch and fall.
If Profound Sword True Master perishes, it won’t be long before Celestial Soul Hall will inevitably threaten the Wind Moon Sect, facing a sect destruction crisis. Only a new Core Formation could solve the problem.
Qi Chuan is now only at Foundation Establishment Early Stage, with just fourteen drops of liquid magical power. Assuming Qi Chuan could break through to Core Formation, could he achieve it within over twenty years? Impossible.
Therefore, this new Core Formation can only rely on his future Fake Pill.
Relying on the Fake Pill Realm, plus the profound Tier Three Array left by Profound Sword True Master, could only barely resist external threats, temporarily preserving the Wind Moon Sect in crisis.
As for whether it can continue to be preserved in such a tenuous state, Situ Jiang does not want to worry too pessimistically, just take one step at a time.
...
Qi Chuan left his Sect Leader Master’s Cave Mansion, returning all the way to his Tier Two Middle Grade Cave Mansion located in a remote area of the Inner Sect.
Sitting at a stone table, Qi Chuan showed a pondering expression. Even just now, he thought all the way.
"If I want to attempt Core Formation, because the resistance from compressing liquid magical power doubles with each attempt, I must succeed the first time, and because of the Inspiration Opportunity brought by Golden Finger, I can also succeed on the first attempt."
"In other aspects, as summarized by Master, I must have a sufficiently deep Liquid Magical Power Foundation, and some external means for amplification, and finally, pay attention to Heart Demon."
"As for the Liquid Magical Power Foundation, I cultivate the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique. Once it reaches Foundation Establishment Perfection, it is deep enough and there should not be any issues."
"As for external amplification means, in the inheritance of the Celestial Pill Elder in my mind, there are several special Pill Formulas that can help with the Core Formation attempt, and once truly attempting Core Formation, it is inevitable to use the Tier Three Spirit Vein Land of Wind Moon Sect, which basically should be fine."
"Additionally, if I encounter some special Spiritual Objects or Special Cultivation Techniques that can aid in Core Formation in the future, I should pay a little attention."
"Finally, is the possible Heart Demon encountered during Core Formation..."
Qi Chuan pondered internally.
To be reasonable, according to my Sect Leader Master’s statement, as long as my Inspiration Opportunity is perfected by then, the probability of encountering a Heart Demon is greatly reduced, and even if encountering a Heart Demon, it will not be too strong.
But still, it’s necessary to prepare in two ways.
To counter the Heart Demon, the Power of Divine Soul and personal will both need to be enhanced.
