Chapter 119 Advancement, Mid-stage Golden Core

After sitting up, rubbing her slightly aching head, Lin Zhao felt the now completely stable spiritual point leap into her arms, bouncing up and down playfully. Lin Zhao gently pressed it down. Although she couldn't feel its fluctuations, she could tell from the current situation that she had succeeded, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She nudged the little one: "I have to leave. Do you know how to get out?"

The little creature circled Lin Zhao three times, seemingly reluctant to leave, but in the end it transformed into a little phoenix to lead the way for Lin Zhao.

When Lin Zhao took a step forward and returned to the ancient tree, the face on the tree was filled with respect and gratitude.

"It is I who am blind and did not realize that you are the descendant of the Ancestral Phoenix."

Lin Zhao rubbed his head and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Didn't you say you would give me Wood Source Crystals?"

Gu Mu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Of course, I can provide as many Wood Source Crystals as you want."

Lin Zhao said, "Can my current body support me to advance to which level? Ideally, it should be within seven days."

She was able to improve her strength as quickly as possible to find the main force. The longer she was away from the main force and the less news she received from the Heavenly Mirror, the more uneasy Lin Zhao felt.

"With your current physical condition, you should be able to enter the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm in seven days."

If others heard the statement that the two people in front of them had gone mad, they would probably think they were crazy.

It's important to know that once you enter the Golden Core stage, you no longer compare cultivators' levels by tiers. Instead, each stage is divided into four minor realms: early, middle, late, and great perfection.

For an ordinary cultivator to advance from the early to the middle stage of the Golden Core realm, it would take at least a dozen years, and even for those with exceptional talent, it would take three years.

Seven days... that speed is simply unbelievable.

Lin Zhao frowned upon hearing this.

In fact, she wanted to reach the late stage of the Golden Core realm as quickly as possible, so that she could use her unique Yuan Yang Hui talent to occupy the top position in this continental competition. Only with such strength could she have some influence in this continental competition.

However, she might be able to manage at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. Combined with the special spiritual techniques she possesses, she might even be able to hold her own against a Golden Core Grand Perfection expert at the Yuan Yang Hui level.

"Please, senior, bestow upon me the Wood Source Crystal."

The ancient tree controlled a vine to hand Lin Zhao a spatial ring.

Lin Zhao took it and probed it with his divine soul. He was instantly shocked by the mountain of wood source crystals inside and gasped.

That's really... incredibly wealthy.

“The wood crystals in this area were originally formed from my own wood-source spiritual energy. I don’t have much use for them, so I’m giving most of them to you,” Gu Mu explained. “Perhaps your teammates will also find them useful.”

Lin Zhao gripped the ring tightly and bowed sincerely to the ancient tree: "Lin Zhao thanks you, senior!"

After saying that, she set up an array, sat cross-legged, and began to absorb the spiritual energy from the wood crystal.

Her meridians and body had been greatly improved by the Heavenly Phoenix Source Pivot, and now she only lacked spiritual energy as a foundation for advancement. Therefore, Lin Zhao's body was almost thirstily absorbing the spiritual energy in the Wood Source Crystal.

The vast and boundless spiritual energy within the Wood Source Crystal surged into Lin Zhao's body. Under the operation of the Phoenix Vein Technique, as the Golden Core was refined, it gradually filled in, becoming an invisible spiritual flow circulating within Lin Zhao's body.

In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lin Zhao gained another half stream of spiritual energy, which made him click his tongue in amazement.

You should know that even the Golden Radiance Golden Core Great Perfection only has sixteen streams of spiritual energy at its peak!

Of course, the Yuan Yang Hui Golden Core is an exception. Within the Yuan Yang Hui Golden Core, the peak of the Great Perfection of the Entering Yang Hui Golden Core level may have thirty streams of spiritual energy, while the Opening Yang Hui level may reach forty streams of spiritual energy. As for the Yuan Yang Hui level, it is said that it can reach fifty streams of spiritual energy.

Such a difference is visible to the naked eye, which shows that aptitude truly determines the future in the Golden Core stage. Even among Golden Core cultivators at the Great Perfection stage, one Yuan Yang Hui Golden Core cultivator is enough to crush hundreds of An Hui Golden Core cultivators.

Lin Zhao, though only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, is already approaching the spiritual energy levels of a Golden Core cultivator at the peak of the Golden Radiance realm. To put it bluntly, Lin Zhao, with his current spiritual techniques, can already overpower Zhang Tao.

However, while the initial gathering of spiritual energy was easy, after three days and fourteen streams of spiritual energy had gathered, Lin Zhao clearly felt that the speed at which his spiritual energy gathered had slowed down, as if the circulation of his golden core had become somewhat sluggish.

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Zhao chose to simultaneously activate the Undying Golden Body Technique and the Phoenix Vein Technique, strengthening her physical attributes to their most formidable state before further increasing the speed at which she absorbed spiritual energy.

The benefits are obvious; the speed at which the spiritual energy converges is instantly comparable to the initial speed. However, negative effects also follow. Lin Zhao's meridians are somewhat unable to withstand the high-intensity, continuous absorption of spiritual energy and the conversion of spiritual energy into spiritual flow, causing some stinging sensations.

Lin Zhao stuffed a handful of pills directly into his mouth.

That's the good thing about reaching the Golden Core stage; you can use the Golden Core cultivation method to expel the toxins from the pills from your body.

Therefore, alchemists are more sought after among cultivators of higher levels, especially when an alchemist reaches the Golden Core stage. As long as they don't perish, their future is bright.

This is why Granny Honghu suggested that Lin Zhao learn alchemy from her only after reaching the Golden Core stage.

Cultivators before the Golden Core stage cannot expel pill toxins; they can only reduce their effects through special means. They can only refine low-grade pills with minimal pill toxins.

Those in the Golden Core stage don't have these concerns. Lin Zhao is now thoroughly enjoying the nourishing and protective effects of the medicine, and her body is being stabilized again. As for the pain it brings, Lin Zhao has become accustomed to the various pains she has experienced since she began cultivating, so she doesn't really care about this little bit of physical suffering.

This almost frenzied cultivation method not only left Gu Mu dumbfounded, but even Yun Che, who was hiding in the shadows, was shocked by Lin Zhao's audacity.

How did Honghu and Yunding teach this child? Cultivation emphasizes a gradual process!

Amidst the astonishment of Yi Mu Yi Ren, Lin Zhao, through such a vigorous method, kept his eyes bloodshot, and finally, on the seventh day at dusk, his golden core suddenly emitted a bright light.

Mid-stage Golden Core realm, that's it.

Lin Zhao let out a deep breath, her eyes bloodshot. She knew she had pushed her body and mind to the limit and needed to rest.

Although Golden Core cultivators don't need to rest, someone like Lin Zhao, who has been operating her spiritual energy at an excessive capacity for seven days and seven nights without rest, would self-destruct.

Lin Zhao sensed the amount of spiritual energy within his body and smiled with satisfaction. Although he was still tired, he preferred his current state to his previous state of confusion.

Looking at the twilight in Tianhuangyuan, which was just like the outside world, she pondered for a moment, looked at the Tiantong Mirror, assessed her physical condition, and decided that she had to rest for the night before going out to find the main force.

The following day, after Lin Zhao finished resting and left the Ancient Forest, the main group from the South China Sea Academy was also led into a mountain forest.

At this moment, the situation at Nanhai College is not very good.

Apart from Zou Zihan and Su Yequshu, who were conscious and bound, the others were completely unconscious and were being dragged along the ground like pigs and dogs by a group of people in blue uniforms who were tied up with hemp ropes.

A group of people in blue uniforms dragged them to the front of a cave, where Zhu Che, who had been waiting, frowned in displeasure.

"Why are they the only ones? Where is Lin Zhao, whom I asked for?"

Lan Yingying tossed the three still-conscious Zou Zihan to the side of the cave entrance and said indifferently, "Didn't find them."

In fact, she was not worried about not finding Lin Zhao. After all, he was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. Even if he had the talent of the Yuan Yang Hui level, his foundation was still too shallow to pose a threat. If Zhu Che hadn't been blinded by lust, they wouldn't have cared about Lin Zhao at all.

Zhu Che looked at the man beside him with a cold gaze and said, "Didn't you say you would help us capture her?"

Upon seeing the man, Zou Zihan and the other two couldn't help but show resentment on their faces.

"Zhang Tao! You actually betrayed the Heavenly Phoenix Continent!"
