The Twelve Revolutions of the Golden Core is a realm clearly described in the Great Dao chapters that Lu Qing obtained.
It is a realm that only a perfect Golden Core cultivator can reach.
According to the description in the Great Dao chapter, the limit of a flawless innate superior-grade golden elixir is nine cycles of golden elixir, while the limit of a perfect golden elixir is twelve cycles of golden elixir.
There are three more levels!
It's important to understand that in the path of cultivation, the higher the level, the greater the difference in strength often becomes, even within a small increment.
The cultivation limit of a perfect Golden Core is three revolutions higher than that of a flawless, innate, high-grade Golden Core.
It is easy to imagine the vast difference in their inherent potential between the two.
It was precisely for this reason that Lu Qing dared to venture into this sacred mountain secret realm with only the fifth level of the Golden Core stage.
Because he has enough confidence that he can protect himself even when facing the Golden Core cultivators of powerful forces.
Lu Qing originally thought that with his current profound foundation and potential, there would be no more spiritual medicines or treasures in the world that could increase his potential at the Golden Core Realm.
But the appearance of the Blood of the Witch overturned his understanding.
It could even enhance his already powerful physical body, which was stronger than that of a body cultivator, and cause it to undergo a fundamental transformation.
"Indeed, the path of cultivation is vast and boundless, containing countless secrets. I have only seen so many sights, yet I dare to talk about the limits. I am far too arrogant, like a frog at the bottom of a well."
Feeling the strengthening of his physical body, Lu Qing reflected on himself.
After the golden core-level witch blood was completely refined, Lu Qing estimated that his physical body had been strengthened by about one percent.
Don't underestimate one percent. With Lu Qing's current physical strength, a one percent increase is already a remarkable effect.
If we were to translate that into actual data, it would be a rather astonishing number.
It should be noted that when he refined ten strands of Foundation Establishment level Yuan Blood at once, it only strengthened his physical body by one-thousandth.
This is only the primordial blood extracted from the body of the black wolf beast at the initial stage of the Golden Core realm. If it were the beast inside, the primordial blood contained within would definitely be even more potent!
"In that case, there's no need to rush into that ancient tower. Let's seize the opportunity before us first."
Lu Qing was not worried that the opportunities within the ancient tower would be snatched up by other powerful individuals.
This secret realm was left behind by the ancient witch clan.
The lineage within must also be related to the Wu tribe.
The lineage of the Witch Clan is inevitably related to physical cultivation, and the trials within the tower are likely to be the same.
Therefore, Lu Qing did not believe that those powerful forces could so easily pass the trials of the ancient tower and obtain the inheritance.
Even he himself had no confidence that he could pass the trials of the ancient tower.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, so he decided to first obtain the opportunity of the Blood of the Witch.
Moreover, he had a hunch that if he continued to refine the primordial blood, his physical body would undergo an unimaginable transformation.
Even if they ultimately fail to obtain any other opportunities, this trip to the secret realm will have been entirely worthwhile.
"Aqing, how are you feeling?"
When Xiao Li saw Lu Qing open his eyes, she quickly asked.
“Excellent. This primordial blood has greatly improved the strength of my physical body, and although the baleful energy within it has increased significantly, you should be able to withstand it.”
"I can refine it too? Then Ah Qing..." Xiao Li's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Lu Qing nodded: "Yes, tomorrow we'll go hunt a few more Golden Core Realm beasts to refine their bloodlines."
There were a total of eighteen strange beasts around the ancient tower. Apart from the three most powerful late-stage Golden Core beasts in the innermost part, which he was not confident in killing, he was confident in hunting down the other beasts.
Xiao Li immediately beamed with joy.
Lu Qing sensed the outside and found that the time spent refining the primordial blood was much shorter than he had expected.
So it was still early outside, and it wasn't even dark yet.
He had already sent a telepathic message to the Five Treasures Taoist, saying that he was going into seclusion for a while, so it was not appropriate for him to go out now.
After thinking for a moment, he took out some jade slips from his Qiankun Qi Bag and placed them in front of him.
Looking at the three rows of jade slips in front of him, Lu Qing fell into deep thought.
These jade slips are all cultivation technique jade slips at the Golden Core level.
Some of them were purchased by him in Tian Shu City.
Most of what he obtained was from the group of rogue cultivators he encountered on the road not long ago when he and the Five Treasures Taoist were traveling.
Now, all of them together number nearly thirty jade slips.
With this as resources, perhaps his 【Perfect Golden Core Method】, which has already hit a bottleneck, can achieve a breakthrough.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing picked up a jade slip, activated his supernatural ability, and looked at it.
Soon, several messages floated out from the jade slip.
...
“Ah Yu, these people from the Qiankun Sect are too ungrateful. It’s their good fortune that we are willing to join forces with them, yet they still dare to refuse.”
In the dense forest, the woman from the Gongshu family spoke angrily.
The other members of the Gongshu family behind her also had gloomy expressions.
Gongshu Yu remained silent, his eyes downcast, as if deep in thought.
"Ayu, I'm talking to you. What are you thinking about?"
The woman received no response and asked again.
He then waved his hand in front of his eyes a few times.
"What did you say?" Gongshu Yu came to his senses.
"I'm saying, how do you plan to deal with the people from the Qiankun Sect? They dared to insult our Gongshu family. If we don't teach them a lesson, others will think our Gongshu family is easy to bully!"
"Put the Qiankun Sect aside for now. Our most urgent task is to find a way to enter the ancient tower. That is the most important thing."
Although Gongshu Yu was also annoyed by Qin Zheng and the others' attitude, he still knew what was the most important thing to do right now.
"But the people from the Qiankun Sect are unwilling to join forces. I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the ancient tower on our own, will we?"
"Therefore, we have no choice but to find other help."
"Looking for someone else? Who?" The woman was taken aback.
“Naturally, we’ll look for those forces that are quite strong, but like us, can’t break into the ancient tower alone.” Gongshu Yu closed his jade fan. “I already have a few targets in mind. Let’s go.”
Night fell silently, and the entire dense forest fell into complete silence.
Every now and then, a slight noise would be heard, indicating that a strange beast was hunting.
However, those who can lurk in this dense forest are not ordinary strongmen.
Unless the dozen or so guardian beasts surrounding the ancient tower come out, the beasts in the forest pose no threat to them at all.
So the night passed relatively quietly in the dense forest.
As dawn broke and the next morning arrived, Lu Qing opened his eyes in the wooden cabin.
His eyes shone with a light that flowed like the vast starry sky, and within their depths, endless wisdom shone.
Overnight, he had already used his special ability to comprehend all thirty jade slips containing Golden Core-level cultivation techniques.
Finally, we have a clue about the seventh stage of the 【Perfect Golden Elixir Method】.
