I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1024: Chapter 561: Heterodox Golden Core_2 Chapter 1024: Chapter 561: Heterodox Golden Core_2 As they spoke, the Foundation Establishment female cultivator, who had previously been handling the Array Flag, came to Yu Shuji’s side and offered Chen Mobai a deep bow, expressing her thanks.

This person was the very one who had identified the Soul Nourishing Wood at the sales meeting in Jian Country; it was she who had encountered Qu XiuXian before.

Chen Mobai had noticed her when he took action but had no opportunity to converse with her due to the urgency of dealing with the Mother Locust.

“You’re too kind, I merely did what I should have done.”

Chen Mobai said modestly, he would have helped anyone in such a situation, provided they were not an enemy of his.

“The thing is, Sect Master Chen, as you may know, my disciple Lou Xuelong has failed in his Dan Condensation, and if he wishes to attempt it again in the future, he will likely need even more thorough preparation.”

“This Monster Beast Inner Pill happens to have an Earth-Fire Duality Attribute, which matches his Spirit Root Attributes. If it is refined into a Heterodox Golden Core, it can not only make up for the deficit caused by his failed condensation but also increase his success rate for Dan Condensation by thirty percent.”

“I wonder if Sect Master Chen would be willing to part with this inner pill and sell it to me, we can certainly discuss the price.”

Yu Shuji said, somewhat embarrassedly.

In the Tianhe Realm, the technique of refining Heterodox Golden Core is one of the methods that can help a cultivator most in Dan Condensation.

It involves slaying a demonic beast that shares the same Spirit Root and Cultivation Technique attributes as oneself and refining its inner core into something akin to an elixir yet similar to a Magic Artifact, creating a Heterodox Golden Core.

A cultivator nurtures this elixir within their Dantian Qi Sea and, once their Divine Sense and Spiritual Power are completely assimilated with the Heterodox Golden Core, they can utilize it to unleash power surpassing the Foundation Establishment realm.

This is the Heterodox Golden Core Technique.

Although the Heterodox Golden Core Technique also grants the power of a Core Formation, it is limited by the cultivation level of the demonic beast pre-mortem and can never be improved.

Moreover, since it isn’t true Core Formation, the cultivator’s lifespan does not increase.

Thus, the proper way to use a Heterodox Golden Core is to let a Foundation Establishment Practitioner experience the power of the Golden Core Realm and then, fueled by a burst of determination and using a Secret Technique, shatter the Heterodox Golden Core to break through to a true Gold Core.

This is known as the Gold Core Swapping Technique, and it is the method with the highest success rate for Core Formation in the Tianhe Realm, but also the most dangerous.

Because once the Heterodox Golden Core is shattered, if the practitioner fails to successfully form a true Gold Core, their Foundation Establishment body will definitely be unable to endure that power, resulting in certain death.

Even so, this remains the most popular method amongst Foundation Establishment Practitioners in the Tianhe Realm.

However, Rank-3 demonic beasts are rare, and those matching a cultivator’s attributes are even rarer.

Furthermore, Foundation Establishment Practitioners definitely cannot slay a Rank-3 demonic beast, so the Heterodox Golden Core Technique is usually used by direct descendants of major sects, and generally only by disciples who have already failed an attempt at Core Formation.

Lou Xuelong is a case in point.

It was fortunate for them to come across the Mother Locust with Earth-Fire Duality Attribute, which made Yu Shuji bold enough to step forward and insist on buying the inner pill from Chen Mobai, even at the expense of outbidding Yan Shaoyin.

“So that’s how it is. Star Heaven Dao Sect truly lives up to its reputation, possessing the Heterodox Golden Core Technique and the Gold Core Swapping Technique.”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.

This shares the same concept as the Legal Body Nascent Soul, but during the transformation into Legal Body Nascent Soul, one must invest all their Essence, Qi, and Spirit with no chance of turning back.

However, the Heterodox Golden Core Technique also has the Gold Core Swapping Method, allowing a cultivator one last chance to attempt a true Core Formation.

Though the cultivation techniques from the Tianhe Realm may not compare with the Immortal Gate in precision, they do possess unique and brilliant ideas.

Such techniques as the Heterodox Golden Core Technique and Gold Core Swapping Method would never be developed in the Immortal Gate regardless.

Because the demonic beasts over there were protected, let alone killing them to take their inner cores, even wanting to draw a vial of blood or cut a piece of fur for research required an application to the relevant departments.

“I wonder if this inner core can be exchanged with your sect for the techniques of Heterodox Golden Core and the Gold Core Transposition Method?”

Chen Mobai thought for a moment and put forward this request.

After all, since the Divine Wood Sect did not possess the corresponding methods, even if they obtained the inner core, they couldn’t use it. Moreover, there were no Foundation Establishment Practitioners within the sect suitable for this inner core.

Instead of letting it sit idle in hand, waiting for the elemental energy of the inner core to slowly dissipate, it would be better to maximize its use while they could.

Chen Mobai had indeed considered whether he could use this inner core to exchange with Yu Shuji for the Embodiment Nascent Soul Technique, but that might risk exposing his possession of Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood, so he decided to tentatively probe first.

“I can decide on the Heterodox Golden Core Technique, but I need to report to the Sect Leader before I can agree to exchange the Gold Core Transposition Method.”

Yu Shuji responded somewhat sheepishly after hearing the request.

Here in the Tianhe Realm, all the great sects maintained very strict control over techniques related to breaking through realms and advancing.

The Heterodox Golden Core Technique uses the core of a Magic Artifact to refine elixirs. Besides the core concept, other supplementary ingredients must be adjusted by an outstanding alchemist based on the Foundation Establishment Practitioner’s Spirit Root Attributes. The key lies in the alchemist, not the alchemy recipe, so it’s permitted for the Starry Sky Commerce Guild to sell it.

Chen Mobai: “Frankly speaking, our Divine Wood Sect does not yet have this method. If we’re lucky enough to hunt down a Rank-3 monster beast inner pill of the same type in Yun Meng Ze in the future, we might be able to make use of it, so I was thinking of asking if we could exchange with your sect for it.”

Yu Shuji: “I understand and would naturally be willing to exchange with Sect Master Chen, but I simply don’t have the authority. However, please rest assured, Sect Master Chen, I will immediately send Xiu Xian to the East Barbarians, where the headquarters of the Commerce Association can contact the sect directly and strive to get a response as quickly as possible.”

As it concerned his own disciple, Yu Shuji was naturally extremely concerned, and since the method had significant restrictions, he didn’t think handing it over to the Divine Wood Sect would make much of an impact.

At most, they might hunt a Rank-3 demonic beast or two in Yun Meng Ze, but the Divine Wood Sect had only Hong He suitable for the water attribute. One or two more Golden Core Practitioners appearing would be insignificant to the Star Heaven Dao Sect.

“I have heard that there’s a technique similar to the Heterodox Golden Core Technique called the ‘Embodiment Nascent Soul’, which I learned about during Qu XiuXian’s appraisal of the Soul Nourishing Wood last time. Does your sect have the means to exchange for this technique?”

Chen Mobai asked casually, as though it were an afterthought.

Qu XiuXian, who was beside them, heard this and smiled shyly with her beautiful face, clearly recalling the scene when she first met Sect Master Chen at the selling meeting in Jian Country. She hadn’t expected that this matter would leave an impression on him.

“I’m afraid that’s not possible, the Embodiment Nascent Soul Technique needs to be reported to several ancestors before we can proceed.”

The Star Heaven Dao Sect might not care about Golden Core Cultivators, but Nascent Soul Cultivators were highly valued, as they represented the pinnacle of their combative strength.

Even though possessing the Embodiment Nascent Soul Technique and the rare and limited Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood as well as Return to the Sun Spirit Water were required, they would not take chances with the possibility of a Nascent Soul emergence; they preferred to nip it in the bud from all possible sources.

[In other words, the Star Heaven Dao Sect did have the Embodiment Nascent Soul lineage.]

After obtaining the information he needed, Chen Mobai also stated that he was just asking out of curiosity, purely because seeing Qu XiuXian reminded him of it, and he was very intrigued by the Embodiment Nascent Soul.

Yu Shuji did not suspect anything and conversed with Chen Mobai about the Heterodox Golden Core Technique and the Embodiment Nascent Soul Method. Yu Shuji did most of the talking, while the latter listened.

After all, the Embodiment also relates to the Nascent Soul, and though it couldn’t advance further, coupled with some powerful Magic Artifacts, its combat strength was no different from a real Nascent Soul.

It was for this reason that sects possessing the Embodiment Nascent Souls would not allow this method to spread, to prevent another Nascent Soul Cultivator capable of affecting the situation in the East Land from emerging.

“Xiu Xian, these two matters are now in your hands. Your master must stay in Flower Country to ensure the complete eradication of this swarm of locusts, preventing another Mother Locust from emerging. Remember to report back in time, and don’t delay.”

After their conversation, Yu Shuji wrote a letter on the spot, entrusting his disciple with the affairs of the Green Wood Evil and the Heterodox Golden Core. Qu XiuXian, upon hearing this, nodded gravely.

“Sect Master Chen, I will give my utmost effort in gratitude for saving my life.”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai thanked Qu XiuXian, the Foundation Establishment female cultivator he had met only twice. Seeing the Golden Core Cultivator and sect leader show such respect for talent, she was moved, her pretty face blushing slightly.
