Chapter 83

The powerful suction force emanating from his dantian startled Huaxia Jiu. But soon he realized that even such a large amount of spiritual energy was still insufficient to meet the dantian's needs.

Huaxia Jiu's heart stirred, and he brought out all the spirit stones from his storage bag, nearly 400,000 in total, which appeared around him. In a burst of golden light, these 400,000 spirit stones transformed into a massive amount of spiritual energy, surging into Huaxia Jiu's body.

It was only because Huaxia Jiu's meridians were far more resilient and wider than those of cultivators at the same realm that he could withstand such a large amount of spiritual energy surging in simultaneously.

Inside the dantian, the gel-like true essence, which was already rotating and contracting, was compressed even more intensely under the pressure of the new true essence, boiling and collapsing inward even more fiercely.

At the same time, on Youming Mountain, sensing the intense spiritual energy fluctuations from Huaxia Jiu's cave, hundreds of soul senses spread out from various caves, probing towards Huaxia Jiu's cave.

Nearly a hundred figures rose from their respective caves, shooting towards Huaxia Jiu's cave.

With a series of swishing sounds, figures continuously appeared in the sky above Huaxia Jiu's cave, all with expressions of surprise and uncertainty, looking at Huaxia Jiu's cave.

After these nearly a hundred figures gathered, they soon formed small groups, pointing and whispering about Huaxia Jiu's cave.

Among these nearly a hundred figures, most wore the black robes of inner disciples, but five graceful women were dressed in colorful and beautiful attire, gathered together, chattering like little birds, and occasionally emitting silver bell-like laughter, which attracted the frequent glances of many male cultivators.

In the center of these four beautiful women was Bai Xiangzhu, who had a connection with Huaxia Jiu, dressed in white like snow, beautiful and ethereal, like a lily in a secluded valley.

"Senior Sister Bai! I'm getting more and more confused. The junior brother below is advancing, but if he is advancing from the Core Formation Realm to the Soul Outing Realm, why haven't I sensed the aura of the soul leaving the body after such a long time? But if he is advancing from the Spirit Condensation Realm to the Core Formation Realm, how could there be such a massive spiritual energy fluctuation?" A petite and beautiful woman in her early twenties, with her eyes twinkling and her red lips slightly parted, said in a very pleasant voice.

"Exactly! Exactly! I can't figure it out either."

"Exactly! What's going on? I heard that a few days ago, a new Spirit Condensation Realm junior brother came to Youming Mountain and was immediately vied for by the five senior masters and uncles, and was eventually taken as a disciple by Junior Uncle Yougui. Could it be him?"

Before Bai Xiangzhu could say anything, the other women started talking one after another.

Bai Xiangzhu smiled slightly, and when the others finished speaking and focused their gazes on her, she took a deep look at the cave where the spiritual energy was still surging, and a tall and handsome young man's figure flashed in her mind.

Bai Xiangzhu's face turned slightly red, but she still maintained a calm demeanor and said, "The spiritual energy fluctuations caused by this junior brother, although quite alarming, are still just the fluctuations of the Core Formation process. Yes! In the past hundred years, our Youming Mountain has only received one disciple a few days ago, who is the junior brother you just mentioned. Therefore, the cave should be where Junior Uncle's only disciple, our junior brother, is undergoing Core Formation."

Such conversations were also taking place in the sky above Huaxia Jiu's cave in over a dozen other places.

At this moment, almost 90% of the nearly a hundred inner disciples were looking at Huaxia Jiu's cave with envy and jealousy.

Youming Mountain has over a hundred inner disciples, and apart from the palace master, there are six second-generation disciples—five men and one woman. Among them, Han Xingkui, Bai Bingyu, and Yougui are at the Dao Inquiry stage, while the other three are at the Soul Outing stage.

Among the over a hundred third-generation inner disciples, not everyone can become a disciple of the three Dao Inquiry cultivators. Even the other three second-generation disciples at the Soul Outing stage are not easy to join.

In fact, only about a dozen inner disciples have the fortune to be disciples of Dao Inquiry cultivators, accounting for about one-tenth of all inner disciples. This is still because all four female disciples were taken as disciples by Bai Bingyu; otherwise, the proportion would be even smaller. Another twenty or so disciples are disciples of the three second-generation disciples at the Spirit Condensation stage.

This is also because the Youming lineage has been somewhat special in the past hundred years, with very few disciples, which is why the proportion is so high.

In the other six lineages of the Ziyou Sect, the proportion of inner disciples who can become disciples of Dao Inquiry cultivators is about one percent.

This is not hard to understand. Dao Inquiry cultivators spend most of their time in seclusion, hoping to achieve immortality soon, and do not have much spare time to teach disciples.

However, once a disciple becomes a disciple of a Dao Inquiry cultivator, the benefits are immeasurable. Not to mention the guidance and direction in cultivation, which can save a lot of time and effort and speed up advancement, many cultivation techniques, magical abilities, and secret methods are directly taught by the master, saving a large number of contribution points that would otherwise be spent at the scripture hall. This alone makes all the inner disciples who have not become disciples of Dao Inquiry cultivators extremely envious.

In fact, it is extremely rare for a new disciple to be taken as a disciple of a Dao Inquiry cultivator right after passing the entrance selection with only Spirit Condensation realm cultivation. In the past few hundred years, there has never been such a case.

For these reasons, it is understandable that many people envy Huaxia Jiu. However, a few insightful and mentally strong individuals have already seen the hidden dangers and risks of being a disciple of Yougui.

...

In the palace, Yougui, who was sitting in meditation, slightly raised his head, his eyes glowing with red flames, and looked in the direction of Huaxia Jiu's cave.

"Good! Such a large fluctuation, the soul power integrated into the true essence pill is already not inferior to the soul power of ordinary Core Formation Realm cultivators. Not bad for my disciple, Yougui," he murmured with a slightly hoarse voice, somewhat pleased.

...

This process lasted for half a day. In Huaxia Jiu's dantian, the purple true essence had completely disappeared, replaced by a purple pill the size of a baby's fist, shimmering with a mysterious purple aura, floating in the dantian, slowly rotating.

With each rotation of the purple pill, a large number of purple threads spread out like lightning, integrating into every part of Huaxia Jiu's body, nourishing the physical body and gradually strengthening it over time.

These purple threads, like meridians, flashed and burst with a cultivation level far surpassing the Spirit Condensation Realm. This was the aura of the Core Formation Realm, the cultivation level of the Core Formation Realm!

Even more, Huaxia Jiu's current Core Formation aura did not seem like that of someone who had just entered this realm, but rather directly burst with the power of the early peak of the Core Formation Realm.

Huaxia Jiu naturally sensed the presence of people outside the cave, but his body remained still. In this quiet stone room, he quietly continued his cultivation.

Thank you to Aiyinliushichuang for taking the initiative to create a Dao Cultivation discussion group. The group number is 104674231. I have also joined it. If you are interested, feel free to join and we can all exchange ideas.
