Chapter 714: Chapter 248: Golden Core (Part 4)
Lin Zheyu didn’t even dare to sell them.
He planned to use the pearls as energy to enhance his source power.
’Use one unit of source power to cultivate the Sacred Inference Spirit Skill.’
The thought was transmitted, and a vast mysterious energy surged out, flowing through his arm into the pearl, sweeping the energy inside it, and then entering Lin Zheyu’s body.
After a few breaths.
Lin Zheyu exhaled a stream of ghostly blue turbid air.
"Finally resolved."
Lin Zheyu breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it can be resolved with source power, it’s not a problem.
"The energy contained in the pearl is indeed astonishing. After using one unit of source power, it feels like almost nothing was consumed."
Lin Zheyu glanced at the round pearl in his hand.
Not selling these two round pearls back then was an extremely correct decision.
Lin Zheyu felt there was a very strong possibility that this pearl was the legendary Golden Core!
This guess wasn’t made out of thin air but is based on various materials Lin Zheyu has collected in the market during this period.
"If this is indeed the Golden Core of a Golden Core cultivator, then the strength of a Golden Core expert is somewhat terrifying!" Lin Zheyu said to himself.
He could sense the concentrated, extremely terrifying energy contained in these two Golden Cores.
This energy made him shiver with fear.
Lin Zheyu has killed countless Foundation Establishment cultivators.
He once thought that even if his strength couldn’t match the Golden Core, it wouldn’t be much of a gap.
But after witnessing the terrifying energy contained in these two suspected Golden Core pearls, Lin Zheyu realized how grossly wrong he had been before.
The gap between Golden Core and Foundation Establishment is like an insurmountable chasm, even more terrifying than the difference between Transforming Force and Bone Marrow Cultivation.
After resolving the issue with the Nether Ice Flame, Lin Zheyu put away the Golden Core.
He looked at the data in his consciousness.
[Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence]
Name: Lin Zheyu
Source Power: 394
Skills:
Mixed Element Concealing Breath Skill (Perfection)
Primordial Thunderfire Pill Skill (Perfection)
Soul-Chasing Step (Third Layer 100%)
Seven Evils Ghost Canon (Fifth Layer 100)
Seven Fiends Body Tempering Skill (Sixth Layer 100%)
"394 units now."
Lin Zheyu murmured softly as he looked at the data in his consciousness.
Originally, he planned to accumulate six to seven hundred units of source power over another year before diving into the time-space barrier for secluded cultivation and enhancement.
The appearance of the elder disrupted his plan.
From the elder, Lin Zheyu felt an extremely dangerous aura, he always felt that the elder would not easily give up.
"Nearly four hundred units of source power, that’s about right..."
"The more demon skills cultivated, the more overlap there is, the easier the cultivation becomes, and the less source power is needed."
"With so much source power, it should be enough for me to cultivate various techniques to a certain level."
Lin Zheyu pondered to himself.
It’s not necessary to cultivate every technique to perfection, as long as they can be elevated to a certain level to fully understand the mysteries of the techniques.
What Lin Zheyu wanted was not to increase his strength by cultivating each technique to perfection.
But to integrate various techniques to create the strongest, most suitable Primordial Golden Body for himself!
This was his main goal.
"I can’t wait any longer, I’m going to Ruyang City!"
Lin Zheyu pondered for a while, finally making up his mind.
No matter the elder’s purpose, as long as he increases his strength, the problem will naturally be resolved.
Moreover, the creation of the Primordial Golden Body does not need to be accomplished in one fell swoop.
Lin Zheyu never had such an idea.
He planned to make this technique upgradable and iterative, according to his level. With the improvement of his knowledge, he would perform a version update every once in a while.
Just like software updates from his previous life.
This approach is simply impossible for other martial artists.
But with source power to help, Lin Zheyu had no problems at all.
Bang!
With a punch, Lin Zheyu blasted open the cave and his figure instantly disappeared into the forest.
In a short moment, a figure with the style of an immortal appeared, solidifying in the air.
He curiously surveyed the cave and leisurely walked in.
Sniff sniff~~
The elder sniffed, discerning the auras in the cave.
"No scent of the Nether Flame Elixir."
"He actually managed to resolve the Nether Ice Flame on his own, not bad, not bad."
"The Nether Ice Flame is something the Si Family created by merging bloodlines and using special skills. That kid actually managed to solve it by himself, he’s got some tricks."
The elder said with a smile.
His figure flickered, disappearing from the cave, reappearing in mid-air.
Looking down at Lin Zheyu’s rapidly moving figure, a playful smile appeared on his face.
If the other party doesn’t cooperate, he has ways to make him cooperate.
"It would be a pity if he refuses a toast only to drink a forfeit."
The elder whispered with a smile.
He stretched out his right hand, flicked his middle finger, and a strand of spiritual power shot out, vanishing into the air.
Afterwards, the elder’s figure flickered, disappearing into the air.
This time, he really went back.
...
Woosh woosh woosh——
Lin Zheyu swiftly threaded through the forest.
Suddenly, his steps halted, and a nameless fear welled up in his heart.
"Damn it!"
Lin Zheyu cursed under his breath.
His spiritual sense surged out, sweeping through his entire body repeatedly.
Yet, he found nothing unusual.
Lin Zheyu did not relax because of this.
He had a nameless instinct, a vague perception warning him of danger lurking in the shadows.
"That old guy really has his eyes on me!"
Lin Zheyu murmured softly.
Without finding anything wrong with his body, Lin Zheyu could only attribute this nameless sense of foreboding to the elder who just appeared.
Only the elder could make him feel such a deep sense of crisis.
"Not going back, heading straight to Ruyang City!"
Lin Zheyu decided resolutely.
He had originally planned to leave a message for Mr. Yang and the others to let them know not to worry.
Now, Lin Zheyu was concerned that the elder might be secretly following him, and returning would expose his identity, leading to more trouble.
With a movement, he changed direction and headed towards Ruyang City.
