Chapter 164 Breakthrough of the Golden Pill
Shi Yunjie followed Shi Yuwei into the fog with a nervous look, and then stopped at a place full of spiritual energy. He did not expect that the great master would actually agree to let him break through here, and even arranged a place with abundant spiritual energy for him.

This will definitely be of great help to his successful breakthrough.

After paying respectful salute towards the center of the island, Shi Yunjie sat cross-legged and began to prepare for a breakthrough.

At the same time, not far away, Gu Mo was also quietly watching Shi Yunjie, ready to observe the process of his breakthrough, and Shi Yuwei, who had led the way before, also stood beside Gu Mo with her hands hanging down.

Shi Yuwei is now a foundation-building cultivator. Letting her see the process of foundation-building and breaking through to the golden elixir stage could also give her some inspiration, so Gu Mo kept her.

"here we go!"

After waiting for a while, Gu Mo sensed that the aura in Shi Yunjie's body began to change. Then, Shi Yunjie swallowed the golden elixir he had just obtained and officially began the process of condensing the golden elixir.

At the same time, a huge vortex of spiritual energy was formed above the island under the pull of Shi Yunjie's breakthrough energy. A steady stream of spiritual energy was swirling into Shi Yunjie's body, helping him to condense the golden elixir.

"Someone is condensing the golden elixir!"

The cultivators outside the island naturally also saw the changes in the sky. Among them, those Jindan and Jiadan cultivators were naturally very familiar with this kind of strange phenomenon.

But they didn’t know who had made a breakthrough in the Great Immortal’s dojo. It couldn’t be that Miss Yu Wei, as she had just broken through to the foundation-building stage not long ago.

"I see!"

Gu Momo watched the whole process of Shi Yunjie's breakthrough silently, and he felt a little enlightened. To build the foundation and enter the golden elixir stage, in simple terms, is to compress all the liquid spiritual power in the body into a solid golden elixir.

In this process, the cultivator's foundation will be the key to success. If the foundation is insufficient, all the liquid spiritual energy in the body will be compressed and ultimately unable to condense into a golden elixir. Therefore, the only option is to settle for the second best and condense a fake elixir.

If a cultivator has other weaknesses, such as poor cultivation techniques, or an injury that damages his foundation, so that the spiritual power accumulated in his body cannot even condense into a fake elixir, then there is only one way forward, which is failure.

If you have enough resources for forming a pill, you can still save your life. If not, you will die.

Of course, the lack of foundation can be temporarily strengthened by taking breakthrough elixirs such as Ningjindan to increase the success rate of condensing Jindan.

This is why many cultivators who have reached the great perfection of foundation building dare not break through without a breakthrough elixir like the Ningjindan.

Shi Yunjie has been in the state of great perfection of foundation building for a long time, so his foundation should not be bad. With the help of genuine golden elixir, the probability of him becoming a golden elixir is very high.

“It’s done!”

Outside the island, the Jindan and Jiadan cultivators who were paying attention to the spiritual energy vortex in the sky could roughly guess the result of this breakthrough from the changes in the spiritual energy vortex.

Shi Yunjie sat cross-legged and silently practiced his skills, feeling the golden elixir in his dantian, his heart filled with unspeakable excitement. To outsiders, this breakthrough meant that he had successfully condensed the golden elixir, but only he himself knew how dangerous this process was.

If it weren't for this genuine gold-condensing elixir and this level 3 spiritual land, he might have failed if any of the conditions were missing.

"That great master is also my chance."

Shi Yunjie now had a deeper understanding of the concept of opportunity. This great immortal was not only an opportunity for Shi Yuwei, but also for him. Without this great immortal, he would never have been able to become a Jindan cultivator.

After stabilizing his state of mind a little, Shi Yunjie stood up and bowed deeply towards the center of the island. Then he left the island and prepared to go back to meditate for a while.

"Congratulations fellow Taoist!"

As Shi Yunjie left the island, several Jindan cultivators who had been waiting for a long time came forward to congratulate him, because from now on Shi Yunjie would also be a Jindan True Person like them.

"It's all thanks to the great master's grace." Shi Yunjie said with a smile on his face.

Soon the news that Shi Yunjie had successfully entered the Golden Core realm spread rapidly throughout the Cancer Islands. Immediately, many people came to congratulate him, and Shi Yunjie had to hold a Golden Core ceremony.

The noise from the outside world naturally had no effect on Gu Mo. After observing Shi Yunjie's pill-forming process, Gu Mo also prepared to start forming the pill.

Shi Yuwei announced her retreat to the public, and called back Xiaoli who was strolling in the sea. Xiaoli had been strolling in the sea during this period and had found many strange things. At this moment, there was a water lily in the bay around the island, and on it was the treasure that Xiaoli had found.

There are quite a few good things among them, but Gu Mo no longer looks down on these things. This wave of alchemy made Gu Mo make a lot of money.

Most of the treasures collected by those monks in the sea became rewards for alchemy and went into Gu Mo's pocket.

"Yes, it's already the late stage 2."

Gu Mo looked at the fish head that was approaching. Since entering the sea, the little carp's strength has increased rapidly. It has already reached the late stage of level 2. It is estimated that it will not take long before it can become a level 3 monster.

"Go and check on the spiritual field."

Gu Mo took out a few portions of sun essence and stuffed them into the fish's mouth. Then, he sent Xiaoli to look after the spiritual fields on the island. Gu Mo had to concentrate on breaking through next and would not be able to take care of the management of the spiritual fields, so he let Xiaoli be in charge of it.

Xiaoli now has mastered the Small Cloud and Rain Technique to a great degree, and is better at daily management of spiritual fields than those spiritual farmers.

After taking care of the trivial matters, Gu Mo activated the Cloud and Mist Illusion Array, then sat cross-legged and began to form the elixir.

As for the process of forming the elixir, Gu Mo had already mastered it by heart by observing Shi Yunjie's process. Besides that, the Qingmu Sutra that Gu Mo practiced also had a detailed introduction to forming the elixir. Therefore, Gu Mo was absolutely well prepared in this regard.

"Hu~~"

Taking a deep breath, Gu Mo began to practice the Qingmu Sutra's method of condensing the elixir. This was the first step in forming the elixir. He gathered the spiritual power in his body into the dantian, compressed it with the help of the condensing elixir method, and finally condensed a golden elixir.

The steps are simple, but there are many factors involved. Any mistake in any part may lead to the failure of forming the elixir.

And these are not a problem for Gu Mo. Gu Mo's physique and soul have already reached the golden elixir level, so there will be absolutely no problem with this. The Qingmu Sutra's method of condensing the elixir is also top-notch. After all, it comes from a big sect like Shennong Valley.

"Ok?"

As the pill-condensing method was working, Gu Mo couldn't help but frown. Compared with Shi Yunjie's pill-condensing process, his spiritual power compression process seemed to be very slow.

But considering that ordinary foundation-building cultivators compress liquid spiritual power, while he wants to compress golden elixir power, the two have different levels of power, so some differences should not be a big problem.

Although the spiritual power compression process is a bit slow, as long as the golden elixir process continues, it will take a little longer at most. When Gu Mo was fully operating the golden elixir method to compress the golden elixir power in his body, a terrifying spiritual energy vortex appeared above the island, and its area was so large that it directly covered half of the Cancer Islands.

The spiritual energy vortex that appeared when Shi Yunjie formed his elixir before and the spiritual energy vortex formed by Gu Mo's breakthrough at this moment are simply not of the same order of magnitude.

"Who is going to break through to the Golden Core now?"

Such a huge commotion was seen by not only the monks but even the mortals in the Cancer Islands.

"Are you sure this is a breakthrough of the Golden Core? And not the condensation of the Nascent Soul?" Some cultivators looked at the terrifying momentum in the sky. This is probably what a Golden Core breaking through the Nascent Soul would look like.

"It's definitely a breakthrough to the Golden Core stage. If it's the condensation of the Nascent Soul stage, then it won't be a vortex of spiritual energy, but a Nascent Soul thunder tribulation." Many cultivators have heard about the thunder tribulation that cultivators will face when they break through the Nascent Soul stage.

Because after a cultivator condenses his Nascent Soul, he will not die as long as the Nascent Soul is not destroyed, and the Nascent Soul has no concept of lifespan. In theory, a Nascent Soul True Lord can live for a very long time. Even if the physical body cannot withstand the erosion of time, he can still be reborn with the help of the Nascent Soul. This kind of heaven-defying ability will naturally be punished by heaven.

Therefore, even though the spiritual energy vortex above the Cancer Islands was incredibly large at this moment, everyone was still certain that this was a sign of a breakthrough to the Golden Core stage. It was just that the cultivator who was about to break through to the Golden Core stage had an incredibly deep foundation.

From the strange phenomenon formed when a foundation-building cultivator breaks through the golden elixir, one can roughly judge the cultivator's foundation. The stronger the foundation, the larger the spiritual energy vortex that appears, and the higher the success rate of condensing the golden elixir.

Before, Shi Yunjie's spiritual energy vortex could only be considered so-so. In the end, he relied on the help of the golden elixir and the spiritual land to successfully condense the golden elixir.

"I've never heard of such a monster in the sea." No one had ever heard of a foundation-building cultivator with such a profound background.

"Maybe he is the disciple accepted by that great immortal." A cultivator guessed.

The center of the vortex of spiritual energy was on the island. It was obvious that the cultivator who had broken through to the Golden Core stage was related to the Great Immortal, but no one guessed that the person who had broken through was the Great Immortal they were talking about.

After all, if you tell them that a powerful cultivator who can kill General Jinzhao and force back the Red Sand Demon is just a foundation-building cultivator, no one will believe it.

But Shi Yuwei believed it, because she knew that there were no other cultivators on the island except the senior, and another living creature on the island, Xiaoli, was right beside her at the moment.

Therefore, no matter how outrageous the result is, the fact is right in front of us. The senior is actually a foundation-building cultivator, but his foundation is too strong. He is so strong that he can fight against the Golden Core and the peak third-level monster.

"There shouldn't be any problems."

Gu Mo looked inward. At this moment, the golden elixir power in his body was constantly gathering towards his dantian, and then being compressed into a ball. The spiritual energy that continued to flow in from the sky turned into a powerful press, providing Gu Mo with great pressure and compressing the golden elixir power in his body.

However, this press seemed to be unable to cope with the force compression at this level of the Golden Elixir, resulting in slow progress.

If the spiritual power in Gu Mo's body was liquid, he would have successfully condensed the golden elixir by now.

But as long as the Dan-forming process was still going on, Gu Mo didn't mind spending more time. He was just afraid that like the previous Qi-refining breakthrough to the foundation-building process, he would encounter a bug in the middle and get stuck. That would be fatal.

a few days later.

The people of the Cancer Islands have gone from being shocked at first to being numb now, because the huge vortex of spiritual energy in the sky has lasted for several days. Normally, a golden elixir breakthrough only takes a few hours, and this is the first time they have encountered such a long time.

"Is this a success or a failure?" Some monks couldn't help but wonder.

"Who knows."

The monks who had been discussing for several days had now given up thinking, as the situation before them was beyond their comprehension.

Outside the Cancer Islands.

Many big monsters were also paying attention to the huge spiritual energy vortex hovering over the Cancer Islands. Gu Mo's breakthrough was really a bit too loud. The huge spiritual energy vortex continued to gather spiritual energy from all directions. At this moment, any sea monster who entered the level could feel that the spiritual energy in the surrounding seas was flowing towards the Cancer Islands.

It is no exaggeration to say that once Gu Mo's breakthrough is completed, the concentration of spiritual energy in the Cancer Islands will be increased by a small level.

"Is there going to be any top-level strongman appearing on the human side?" A great demon looked towards the Cancer Islands, his heart full of worry.

If they hadn't seen the thunder tribulation, those big monsters would have thought that it was the great immortal who was about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Although it was not a breakthrough from a Great Immortal to the Nascent Soul stage, the breakthrough to the Golden Core stage and such a huge commotion indicated that the second Great Immortal would soon appear on the human side.

Two great masters, this is definitely bad news for the sirens. Once those humans choose to expand outward, the big monsters in the nearby waters will definitely be the first to suffer.

"Go report to Lord Chisha... No, go report to Lord Demon King!"

Immediately, a big demon near the Cancer Islands prepared to report the matter, and this time he reported it directly to the Demon King, because the big demon Chisha could not do anything to the great master on the Cancer Islands.

If even the most powerful demon can’t do anything to us, then the only option is to ask the demon king for help.

"It should be done soon."

Gu Mo thought a little boredly, then he glanced at his dantian. Sure enough, all the golden elixir power in his body had been compressed into his dantian. At this moment, a huge golden elixir was slowly taking shape in Gu Mo's dantian.

That’s right, Gu Mo’s golden elixir can be described as huge. After all, its size has reached 9 times that of a normal golden elixir cultivator.

To this end, Gu Mo spent a full month. It took a full month to condense the golden elixir, which is rare in the world.

Gu Mo suspected that if his method of condensing the elixir was not a superior method, if he used an ordinary method of condensing the elixir, he might not be able to condense the golden elixir.

Fortunately, everything went well in the end. Although it took a little longer, the golden elixir was finally successful, even though it was a little bigger than others.

The Golden Pill that he prepared during this period was not used, because Gu Mo found that if he increased his foundation, it would slow down the speed of Golden Pill condensation. Using the Golden Pill would affect the condensation of the Golden Pill. This was the first time.

"Huh? Why isn't it over yet?"

The golden elixir in the dantian has taken shape. Logically speaking, Gu Mo should have officially entered the golden elixir realm at this time, but Gu Mo feels that the elixir-forming process is not over yet.

Inside the huge golden elixir, Gu Mo felt a mysterious power taking shape.
