Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 438: Chapter 47: Celestial Phenomenon Astounds All

The sky was gloomy, visible to the naked eye, as a large amount of Spiritual Qi gathered to form a funnel-shaped vortex, constantly pouring in centered around Zhou Xun’s Cave Mansion!

At the same time, a powerful spiritual pressure began to emerge, making it hard for nearby Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Cultivators to breathe.

This phenomenon naturally attracted the attention of all the cultivators in Qianying Market.

”This is... the Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon! There’s no mistake... it’s Core Formation!”

A large number of cultivators looked shocked, their eyes filled with endless admiration, glancing towards the direction of the Spiritual Energy Vortex,

Core Formation is almost the ultimate dream of all Foundation Establishment Cultivators, appearing right before their eyes, how could it not cause one to lose composure.

At the city gate, the middle-aged steward looked lost in thought,

”It’s actually him!”

From his son’s words, the middle-aged man had long known the location of Zhou Xun’s Cave Mansion, so upon seeing this phenomenon, he knew the main character of this event,

was the handsome young man he had seen when entering the city before!

The same shock was mirrored on the face of the young man following behind the middle-aged man as he looked towards the location where the Spiritual Energy Vortex was concentrated: ”There... seems to be where those two seniors rented the cave mansion... judging by the location, it’s exactly that place!”

”It’s actually him... he’s actually forming a core?”

The young man was full of envy, then his eyes flickered with resolve, in the future, he too would become such a figure.

In Master Sanchuan’s Cave Mansion,

four Core Formation Cultivators gathered together, enjoying tea and discussing the Dao.

Suddenly, the phenomenon above Zhou Xun’s Cave Mansion caught their attention:

”This is... someone is forming a core!”

A man in a blue Dao Robe, seeming no more than thirty-something, exclaimed in surprise.

”Judging by this phenomenon, the inner core this person is condensing should be at least at the Middle-Grade True Pill level!”

A nearby elderly man with graying hair and a lean face stroked his goatee.

”Daoist Brother Wu overestimates this person too much, forming a Middle-Grade True Pill isn’t that easy. I speculate that a Low-Grade True Pill would be his limit!” another young man with a slightly sinister appearance chimed in.

He was the youngest among them, now just over a hundred and seventy years old, having joined the Qianying Association less than twenty years ago.

”Why don’t you and I make a bet here, on what quality pill this fellow Daoist ends up with, what do you say?” the blue-robed man suggested.

”If Senior Brother Liao can offer that Tier Three Swift Wind Crane Core as stakes, I will bet with you!” the young man laughed.

”I knew you’ve had your eye on my core for quite a while, so be it, I’ll take it out today as you wish!”

The blue-robed man was exceedingly generous, directly taking out an exquisite Jade Box and placing it in front of everyone, then turned to the young man:

”Since I’ve taken out the core, should Junior Brother Cao also bring out your Wind-Controlling Eagle Beast Egg!”

”Alright, alright, since Senior Brother has such interest, I will accompany you even at the risk of death!”

Saying so, he also took out a beast egg.

”I wonder if Senior Brother”

”Daoist Brother Wu and Master Wan want to join us as well?” the young man invited.

”Haha, sounds good, but I only have a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills, I wonder if you two junior brothers think that’s sufficient?” the elderly man with graying hair smiled.

”Spirit Gathering Pills, naturally something we dream of!”

Core Formation Cultivators rarely come by Spirit Pills, and these Spirit Gathering Pills can greatly enhance their cultivation speed, so of course, they were delighted.

”I wonder what quality of spirit pill you think this person can form?”

”Judging by this person’s phenomenon, it should at least be a Middle-Grade True Pill, not inferior to Junior Brother Cao’s!” the elderly man thought for a moment and replied.

”What does Master Sanchuan think?” Everyone then looked towards Master Sanchuan at the main seat.

The elegant middle-aged man at the head nodded, glancing at the Spiritual Energy Vortex a few times, his gaze seemingly piercing through everything.

”As I see it, Wan Mou, this person’s inner core quality should be at the High-Grade level!”

”How is that possible!” the young man exclaimed!

”Master Sanchuan overestimates this person too much!” Even the elderly man with graying hair wasn’t optimistic about the elegant middle-aged man’s viewpoint.

”Hahaha, since it’s a bet, there naturally must be opposing viewpoints. Let this High-Grade Talisman serve as stakes!”

With that, Master Sanchuan placed a blue-glowing exquisite Talisman on the table.

”It’s actually a Defense Talisman, at that time I’ll gladly accept it!” the young man laughed.

Master Sanchuan hearing this, smiled but said nothing.

”By the way, Daoist Brother Wan, since this person is forming a core in our Qianying Square, perhaps we could invite them to join the Qianying Association as our fifth seat, what do you think?”

”Sounds good, once they’ve completed Core Formation, we can extend the invitation.” The elegant middle-aged man nodded.

Then the group continued their discussion on the Dao.

...

Zhou Xun’s gaze was like electricity, controlling a massive amount of liquid magical power with a Divine Sense not inferior to a True Pill Cultivator, rotating and compressing it around the center of the Dantian.

At this moment, waves of mana ripples swept across his entire body, vibrating through the marrow.

This is a challenge that must be passed during Core Formation.

Only a body powerful enough can withstand it, but Zhou Xun’s physical body rivaling a Tier Three Great Demon, easily overcame it,

Then Zhou Xun continuously performed sealing hand gestures, the rotation of the liquid magical power getting faster and faster, thunder light continually flashing within the Dantian.

It’s unclear how much time had passed.

Gradually, in the center of the liquid magical power, small crystal-like particles appeared, as fine as sand.

This was a sign of compression into a solid state.

Meanwhile, the spiritual energy outside once again became volatile, a greater force of suction began to emanate.

More and more Spiritual Qi transmitted through his body surface, seeping into the meridians, then transforming into mana, continuously adding to the rotating liquid magical power mass.

Strangely, this liquid magical power mass continued to shrink.

If one could see its interior, they would discover that more and more crystal-like particles were continuously forming.

Then they agglomerated, condensing together, rotating around the center of the Dantian.

Whoosh!

Unclear how long it had been, gradually a circular solid pill formed,

The pill is formed!

If Zhou Xun were to stabilize his cultivation at this time, he would become a genuine Low-Grade True Pill Cultivator.

But Zhou Xun had prepared for Core Formation for many years, how could a Low-Grade True Pill satisfy him,

Zhou Xun continued refining his mana, continuously infusing it into the newly formed inner core, relentlessly grinding and compressing it.

As time passed, this inner core became more and more solid.

If it could be ground and compressed to the extreme, embody the mysteries of Heaven and Earth, appearing in a pale gold color, it would become the legendary Immortal Golden Core!

...

Outside, the phenomenon had persisted for four days.

Scriptures recorded that phenomena lasting three days resulted in a Fake Pill, four days resulted in a Low-Grade True Pill, five days a Middle-Grade True Pill, and six days a High-Grade True Pill!

If the phenomenon continued for seven days, it would be a Half-Step Golden Core, and eight days or more would be an Immortal Golden Core.

When True Monarch Thunder Prison formed a core, the phenomenon lasted for eight days, successfully forming an Immortal Golden Core.

Master Sanchuan and the others, seeing the phenomenon successfully lasting for four days, breathed a sigh of relief.

While the young man looked smug.

”See, it’s finally the fourth day, seems that a Low-Grade True Pill is pretty much certain!”
