100-year-old foundation building, starting from the maximum level of understanding

Chapter 260 Nascent Soul Pill Completed, Recent Developments in Twenty Years
It transformed into the thunderous bodies of the sun, moon, stars, and celestial bodies.

Although it has not yet taken that final step, in terms of power alone, it has already reached the fourth level.

Once unleashed at full power, it can completely contend with a Nascent Soul True Monarch head-on.

If combined with the Heavenly Ascension Seal, it's not impossible to gain the upper hand.

In addition, Ji Haoyuan had also poured a large amount of soul-nourishing materials into his God-Slaying Gourd over the past twenty years.

Although it only has the power of a single strike, as long as this strike is delivered...

Therefore, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch might suffer a great loss, or even be severely injured.

At last.

This is also a rather important matter.

That was the news that came from the Ji family.

After taking the Sun and Moon Spirit Spring that Ji Haoyuan had asked Shi Siyao to bring him, Ji Bochang...

The foundation that was once damaged has been fully restored.

Furthermore, fifteen years ago, he successfully condensed his Golden Core and survived the Heavenly Tribulation by using the Golden Core resources left to him by Ji Haoyuan.

He successfully became a Golden Core cultivator.

This is also the second Golden Core cultivator in the Ji family, besides Ji Haoyuan.

This is especially important in the increasingly tense world of cultivation.

Because it was just twenty years ago.

The True Lord of the Dharma personally went to the Boundless Sea and, together with the True Lord of Everlasting Green, the leader of the Five Elements Profound Sect who had come with him, conducted an investigation.

Nothing came of it.

Instead, they fought a major battle with the leaders of the True Word Sect and the Five Elements Demon Sect who arrived later.

This led to a long period of open and covert struggles between the four major sects over the next twenty years.

The two sides had engaged in a full-blown four-way war six months prior.

This forced many of its affiliated sects and families to get involved.

at the moment.

The fighting has spread to many areas within the territory of the four kingdoms.

And the scope is trending towards becoming larger and larger.

However, none of this had any effect on Ji Haoyuan, who was still in seclusion.

At this moment, a blazing fire was burning in front of him.

A rich fragrance of elixir wafted throughout the cave where he was.

That's right, Ji Haoyuan was refining pills at that moment.

Moreover, what he refined was not an ordinary pill, but a Nascent Soul Pill, one of the Three Treasures of Nascent Soul Formation, made primarily from fourth-tier Nascent Soul Formation spiritual objects.

The formula for the Nascent Soul Pill provided by the sect is available.

Ji Haoyuan, relying solely on his own comprehension, had already pushed the refining of the Nascent Soul Pill to the final step.

Next, he only needs to complete the final processes of condensing and collecting the pill to truly succeed in refining it.

For Ji Haoyuan, who had already reached the threshold of the fourth tier, this was not a difficult task.

A typical fourth-level alchemist refines pills.

If his cultivation level has not reached the Nascent Soul stage, then there is still the concern about insufficient magical power or insufficient divine sense.

But these problems are not problems at all for Ji Haoyuan now.

Just a few months later.

A wisp of crimson light, imbued with rich spiritual energy, suddenly bloomed throughout Ji Haoyuan's cave.

hum!
As Ji Haoyuan cast the final pill-gathering incantation.

The entire alchemy furnace suddenly emitted a buzzing sound.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud crash.

The lid of the alchemy furnace suddenly opened with a roar.

In an instant, a wisp of spiritual light, swirling with black and white energy and emanating a rich fragrance of elixir, flew out from the opened furnace lid.

Then Ji Haoyuan raised his hand and beckoned.

Three pills, each shrouded in black and white and with a blurry, infant-like image on their surface, were placed by Ji Haoyuan into a pre-prepared emerald jade bottle.

This jade bottle was crafted from the heartwood of a thousand-year-old evergreen spirit tree.

Therefore, all kinds of pills, from first-grade to fifth-grade, can be stored in this bottle.

Within hundreds of years, the medicinal properties of the elixir in this bottle will not be lost in the slightest.

After putting away the alchemy furnace in front of him, Ji Haoyuan did not continue his seclusion. Instead, he opened the cave's protective barrier and went outside.

Once outside, Ji Haoyuan sent out a message. Before long, Miao Zixi, who was in charge of his Jade Spring Peak, arrived.

Twenty years have passed since they last met, and Miao Zixi's cultivation has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.

It’s not surprising when you think about it.

You should know what level of cave dwellings ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators live in.

And what level is the cave dwelling of Miao Zixi, who is in charge of Yuquan Peak for Ji Haoyuan?

There is absolutely no comparability between the two.

"Tell me about some of the more important things that have happened in the past twenty years."

"Yes, elder!"

Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan's question, Miao Zixi immediately gave a respectful reply.

Then, she told Ji Haoyuan about some important things she had collected over the past twenty years.

First, naturally, is the war between the four sects: the Dharma Sect, the Five Elements Profound Sect, the True Word Sect, and the Five Elements Demon Sect.

This battle officially broke out six months ago.

So far, the level of warfare has been limited to the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages.

The Golden Core cultivators have not yet officially entered the scene.

At most, he would serve as a local garrison commander, responsible for overseeing the situation.

This is also reasonable.

For a Nascent Soul cultivator...

Besides the Great True Monarchs and Nascent Soul True Monarchs, the elders at the Golden Core realm are the ones who truly support the sect.

People of this caliber generally don't easily enter the fray until the middle stages of a war.

Even if cultivators at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment levels suffer significant losses, it will not truly harm the foundation of a Nascent Soul sect.

However, if a Golden Elixir True Person suffers too much loss.

This would truly shake the very foundation of a sect.

Therefore.

When a Golden Core cultivator truly enters the fray, it signifies that the entire war has already entered its middle or even later stages.

Also.

After Ji Haoyuan went into seclusion for half a year, Senior Sister Ice and Fire True Person moved to the newly built third-tier high-grade spiritual peak in the Yanfa Sect.

She still named it Miaoyu Peak.

Like Ji Haoyuan, there are also Ice and Fire Masters, including Thunder and Cloud Masters, North Star Masters, and Pei Youlan.

These Golden Core cultivators who emerged from the Blessed Cliff Secret Realm have all entered seclusion.

Moreover, so far, apart from Ji Haoyuan who has already emerged from seclusion, everyone else has not yet emerged.

Then there's the matter of what seems to be an ancient ruin discovered within the Beiman Mountains.

Because it is not their human territory.

In addition, the demon race maintained a tight control over information.

Therefore, even now, the human race cannot be completely certain whether the so-called ancient ruins appearing in the world are true or false.

Ji Haoyuan was somewhat interested in this news.

He is currently lacking two main materials for refining the three treasures for Nascent Soul formation.

They are respectively the baby-transforming herb and the baby-forming flower.

These two items should have been obtainable from the Blessed Cliff Secret Realm.

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances in the Blessed Cliff Secret Realm, those two Nascent Soul spiritual objects were naturally lost.

If there are indeed ancient ruins in the Beiman Mountains, I would like to take a look if I have the opportunity.

But that place was ultimately the territory of the demon race.

If we really want to find out, we need to make thorough preparations.

At least in terms of concealing one's presence and hiding one's true nature, one must master a superior technique.

Otherwise, once their whereabouts are exposed, they will attract a large-scale attack from monsters.

If it attracts the attention of the Demon King, that would be extremely troublesome.

There could even be considerable risks.

"in addition……"

At this moment, Miao Zixi seemed to have thought of something again, and couldn't help but continue to speak to Ji Haoyuan.
