Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 281 Arrival of All Parties, Public Display of Core Formation (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Just as Chen Changge was racking his brains over what to give as a congratulatory gift for Chen Changge's Core Formation, Feng Juechen also received an invitation from the Xu family.

His pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the information on the invitation.

"What a magnificent spirit!"

"Has Xu Chuan finally decided to be high-profile after keeping a low profile for so long?"

Recalling the performance of the rest of the Xu family at the Heavenly Pride Tournament, the Xu family's potential needs no further evaluation.

As long as Xu Mingxian and the others don't perish, each of them has the potential to reach the Golden Core stage and then break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Of course, this is on the premise that they don't perish.

"This gift can't be too meager," Feng Juechen murmured.

However, since this invitation was sent to the Green Wood Sect, not to Feng Juechen, it can be seen that in the eyes of the Xu family, Feng Juechen is not a particularly close relative.

Soon after, the Qingcang Sect and the Jiaocang Sect also received invitations.

Then came the Golden Core families from the seven cities, with the Heavenly Azure Sect being the most remote, receiving their invitations several days later.

This invitation was sent to True Lord Aoki, and another copy was also sent to Cang Yuyang, representing the Cang family.

Aoki Shinjun was somewhat surprised by this, but also felt it was only natural.

"How could Xu Chuan be a simple person, given that he has taught four top geniuses? His achievement of forming a core in the last two hundred years is not particularly impressive, but his confidence is astounding."

He pondered for a moment, then summoned Xi Tianqing and said to him, "On the eighth day of the sixth month, come with me to Yunxi Town."

"Why? To visit the Xu family?"

"Attend the Core Formation Ceremony of the Xu Family Head."

"What?! Xu Chuan is about to form his core?!"

"Here's the invitation. Please take a look."

Xi Tianqing glanced at it and found it unbelievable. "If the one who formed the core this time is Fairy Phoenix Feather, I might not be so surprised. After all, her foundation is unfathomable."

But Xu Chuan.”

"Go and see for yourself. You are the genius of our Xi family this generation. If Xu Chuan successfully forms his core, the Xu family will develop even faster afterward."

Even my Xi family can no longer ignore the Xu family itself.

Regardless of what happens to the Xu family in the future, at least for now, my Xi family cannot afford to antagonize them. Do you understand?

"The disciple understands."

"There's no harm in being on good terms with the Xu family, and a marriage alliance would be even better, but the Xu family is pitifully small, and Xu Deling..."
It's unlikely that any powerful family or sect would send such a prodigy for a marriage alliance.

Yes, with the number one prodigy of Tiannan growing up, the Xu family's future achievements will surely surpass those of the Tiancang Sect!

Tiancang Seven Cities.

The fact that the head of the Xu family in Yunxi was about to publicly announce his Core Formation also caused a huge uproar.

Even the Foundation Establishment families that were not invited planned to send people to attend the ceremony.

"I heard that the head of the Xu family in Yunxi is about to publicly form his core."

"Everyone knows about this now, so why would you need to tell them? On the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, Yunxi Town will definitely be incredibly lively, and many people have already made reservations."

Why don't you go, fellow Daoist?

“My great-aunt’s uncle’s nephew-in-law is a resident of Yunxi Town, and he owns real estate and shops in Yunxi Town.”

"Fellow Daoist, you are impressive. I only own one spirit herb shop and one material shop in Yunxi Fang."

Xinsu City, Yan Family.

After receiving the invitation, the Yan family patriarch planned to go with Yan Kuangtu, bringing generous gifts.

The Yan family of Fangricheng sent their patriarch and Yan Yue and his sister.

The other aristocratic families also sent their patriarchs and the geniuses of their clans.

When geniuses go there, it's natural to have good exchanges with their contemporaries.

The story of the three prodigies of the Xu family spread like wildfire and became known to everyone.

As for Xu Deling's matter, only a few people knew about it, and they all agreed not to spread the word.

Most of the people in Tiancang Prefecture only knew that Fairy "Phoenix Feather" was the number one prodigy of this year's Heavenly Pride Gathering and a disciple of the Heavenly Forging Sect, the number one weapon-forging sect in southern Tiannan.

Since returning to Yunxi Town, the Xu family has basically kept their doors closed to visitors. The core members of the family never go out, and none of them want to visit them rashly.

After all, they had never had any prior relationship.

The Xu family's grand gesture this time provided them with the perfect opportunity to bring their clan's geniuses to visit and exchange ideas.

This news even reached the neighboring Greedy Wolf Mansion.

Recently, many disciples of the Greedy Wolf Sect in Tiancang Prefecture have been hiding their identities to gather information.

Greedy Wolf Mansion, Greedy Wolf Sect.

"The head of the Xu family is about to form his core?" True Monarch Canglang was quite surprised to hear this news. "I thought the first to form their cores would be those few prodigies from the Xu family."

I never expected it to be this Xu family head.

It seems he's been hiding his true abilities!

However, it's not advisable to cause trouble for those geniuses on the Prodigy Ranking, but this Xu family head is an exception!

A cruel smile appeared on the lips of the Azure Wolf True Monarch. "If this Patriarch Xu dies, I wonder if it will cause those geniuses to develop deep inner demons."

While the formal inner demon tribulation only occurs when one forms the Nascent Soul, inner demon interference can occur at any time due to various events.

The more severe one's inner demons, the more they will affect cultivation, core formation, and other related matters.

"If one's heart is clouded by demonic obstacles and one's thoughts are not clear, it is difficult to live up to the name of a prodigy!"

The maniacal laughter of the Azure Wolf True Monarch echoed in the hall. Half a day later, he summoned two elders at the early stage of the Golden Core realm to prepare a grand gift for the Xu family.

Four days later.

The Tianzhu Sect's Dharma Boat arrived above Yunxi Town and then retracted.

The air was densely packed with people.

This attracted the attention of many cultivators in Yunxi Town.

"So many cultivators!"

"Who are they? Could they be here looking for the Xu family?"

"It should be, but I don't know if they've come seeking revenge or to pay a visit?"

"A visit? So many people?"

One of the bystanders looked over in surprise, thinking it unlikely.

However, not long after.

Five people flew out from the Xu family's territory. It was Xu Chuan who led Xu Mingxian and two others, along with Wu Zhu, to fly in front of everyone, then stood still and cupped their hands in greeting.

"Oh, so they really have come to visit!"

Those who previously declared it impossible are now feeling incredibly embarrassed!

The other person is Mei Yun.

"The Xu family is about to become a Golden Core family. Should I still leave Yunxi Town? If the Xu family becomes a Golden Core family, they will probably recruit more people from outside. I wonder if I can join them."

"I feel like following the Xu family offers a chance to get by."

Mei Yun stroked her chin, deep in thought.

air.

"Senior True Lord Lieyang, Senior True Lord Qingxuan, your presence is an honor to our humble abode. Fellow Daoist Zhang is here too."

True Lord Lieyang and True Lord Qingxuan nodded slightly, and Zhang Xuanzhi clasped his hands in greeting to Xu Chuan, saying, "Patriarch Xu, we meet again."

"Senior Huoyun, and the other two seniors, please come with me to my residence for a chat."

"As for the others," Xu Chuan glanced at the 180 Tianzhu Sect disciples who had followed him and said, "Zhu San, take them to the Yellow Crane Tower."

True Lord Lieyang said, "You should all come with us. We'll most likely be bothering your Uncle Xu's family for a while."

"Yes, Uncle-Master (True Lord)."

The disciples of Tianzhu Sect followed Wu Zhusan to the Yellow Crane Tower near the square.

"Is the Yellow Crane Tower a restaurant?" Zhang Xuanzhi asked curiously.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Indeed, it is a restaurant built by my Xu family a few years ago. Look over there, that's the tallest building. The name was personally inscribed by my master."

"It certainly looks magnificent," Zhang Xuanzhi said calmly.

"The first floor of this building is a public hall, the second floor is a private room, and the upper floors are the accommodation. There are a total of eighteen floors, with eighteen rooms on each floor, which is more than enough to accommodate the disciples from the Tianzhu Sect."

Every day from 3:45 PM to 3:45 PM, storytellers would perform in the main hall; from 7:00 PM to 3:45 PM, there would be theatrical performances.

If Brother Zhang is interested, you are welcome to come downstairs to listen and observe.

"I understand, thank you for the reminder, Brother Ye," Zhang Xuanzhi said with a fist and palm salute, showing no arrogance whatsoever.

Ye Fan cultivates both physical and magical techniques. Although it is unknown how far he can go, his potential is extraordinary and in no way inferior to mine. After all, he is the only one who became the thirty-sixth genius of the Heavenly Gang at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment.

If he can still challenge, he might even be able to advance a few more times.

The Yellow Crane Tower is always packed with visitors.

There are three grades of spirit rice available, as well as demon beast meat, spirit fish, spirit wine, spirit tea, and spirit fruit.

It is the most famous restaurant in Yunxi Town.

Business is available from morning to night; there are storytelling performances in the afternoon and plays in the evening.

The Xu family made a fortune every day just from this.

Besides the Yellow Crane Tower, Yunxi Town also has a number of family businesses, such as the Cultivation Tower, the Alchemy Hall, the Weapon Refining Hall, and other halls representing the four arts of cultivation.

Besides supplying the Xu family, the pills and magical artifacts they refined were also sold to the outside world, or they were commissioned to refine them.

In addition, there are spirit wine shops, spirit rice shops, spirit fruit shops, clothing shops, cave dwelling rentals, and magic boat sales.

The Xu family is involved in everything that can earn spirit stones, including food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

Of course, we won't go to extremes; we'll leave room for maneuver.

Enter the Xu residence.

Zhang Xuanzhi noticed that the difference between what he detected from the outside and what he found inside was different from what he detected from the outside.

The scenery was the same, but the people in the mansion were different.

When the divine sense swept across the outside, it was clear that someone was walking around, but after entering, the person was nowhere to be seen, as if it were a figment of imagination.

"Master Xu, has your Xu residence set up some kind of peculiar grand formation?"

"My humble skills are nothing but a joke, Fellow Daoist Zhang. Let's go to the main hall for a chat."

Seeing that Xu Chuan didn't intend to say more, Zhang Xuanzhi didn't press the matter further.

Main hall.

Xu Chuan sat in the main seat, while the others sat below him in order.

Qingxuan Zhenjun had previously used his divine sense to investigate Xu Chuan.

However, due to the presence of many people and the potential for conflicting opinions, he finally spoke up and asked, "Master Xu's body is flawless, and his dantian's magical power is completely crystallized. It seems that he is indeed about to form his core."

“If it were anyone else, they would probably have died and would have remained in seclusion, focused solely on forming their core.” True Monarch Lieyang smiled faintly. “Patriarch Xu’s spirit is truly extraordinary.”

"You two are too kind. I simply made some extra preparations," Xu Chuan said calmly.

"Does Patriarch Xu really intend to attempt the Core Formation stage on the eighth day of the sixth lunar month?"

"The invitations have already been sent out. Even if I have to bite the bullet, I have to reach the Core Formation stage, otherwise I'll lose all face."

Xu Chuan looked helpless and continued, "Before the Core Formation begins, I need to make some more preparations, so I won't have time to entertain you all. Please forgive me."

"Of course. It's a major event for Core Formation, and we won't disturb it. We'll witness the grand occasion of Patriarch Xu's Core Formation on the eighth day of the sixth month."

Qingxuan Zhenjun stroked his beard and smiled faintly: "Fellow Daoist Xu, don't disappoint me. I've brought all the congratulatory gifts to celebrate your successful Core Formation."

"If Senior Qingxuan puts it that way, then even for the sake of these congratulatory gifts, I must successfully form my core."

Zhang Xuanzhi smirked. Why does this sound a bit like a money-grubber?

“Our sect has also brought generous gifts,” said True Lord Lieyang.

“Grandfather, that was prepared by Master Zhenyangzi. You will definitely like it!” Xu Deling said mysteriously.

"You silly girl, I bet you insisted on coming here."

Xu Deling smiled mischievously.

Subsequently, Ye Fan also took Lieyang Zhenjun and the others to the Yellow Crane Tower for accommodation, including Huoyun Zhenren.

Xu Chuan will be forming his core in the Xu family's territory, and no outsiders will be allowed to stay there temporarily.

The next day.

Then, True Lord Lieyang and Rong Tianyang went to Tiancang Sect.

Yan Zhenzhenjun, Xu Deling, and Flame Master went to Fire Cloud Valley to check the terrain and landforms.

Huoyun Valley is only eighty miles away from Yunxi Town.

A moment.

So they came to this place.

Yan Zhenzhen explored the place with his divine sense and stroked his beard, saying, "It is indeed an excellent place for refining weapons. Fellow Daoist Huoyun has chosen a good cave dwelling."

Unfortunately, it's impossible to establish a sect here as it is now, since this place is unsuitable for Qi Refining disciples to live in; it must be renovated.

Xu Deling said, "Anyway, with the help of the Tiancang Sect, we don't need to expend too much effort."

“That makes sense.” After saying that, he stared at Xu Deling and said, “Junior Sister Fengling, Uncle Yanlongzi asked me to keep an eye on you. He said you are only a hair’s breadth away from mastering the first level of the Divine Power.”

Now that your grandfather has successfully formed his core, you must go into seclusion and complete your core formation as soon as possible.

Ideally, this should be done before the sect is fully established, so that you can legitimately become the sect leader of my Heavenly Forging Sect's branch sect, the Heavenly Feather Sect.

"Understood, Senior Brother Yanzhen."

"Look at your carefree attitude, Fellow Daoist Huoyun. You are also Junior Sister Fengling's master, so you should keep a close eye on her."

Master Huoyun stroked his beard and smiled faintly: "True Lord Yanzhen, De Ling doesn't need anyone to urge her. I have witnessed her diligence firsthand."

"Better so."

Tiancang Sect.

True Lord Lieyang and True Lord Rongtianyang arrived at the door, and True Lord Qingmu warmly received them.

After some discussion, the two sides agreed on the terms.

The Heavenly Azure Sect provided a third-tier fire-elemental spiritual vein, as well as three second-tier earth, wood, and metal spiritual veins, and assisted in the establishment of the Heavenly Feather Sect.

True Lord Lieyang allowed him to use the name of the Heavenly Forging Sect, and even allowed him to intimidate them when necessary.

Of course, if you want True Lord Lieyang to help the Tiancang Sect resist the Tanlang Sect, that will come at a different price.

After all, the Tianling Sect doesn't have a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in charge, and the Tianzhu Sect is far away in the south, so it can't quench their immediate thirst.

If we push the Greedy Wolf Sect too far, it will provoke them to hunt us down at the Nascent Soul stage.

Then Lord Lieyang and the others are in danger.

Therefore, they will not substantially intervene in the struggle between the two governments unless absolutely necessary.

The most important purpose of Lord Lieyang's visit to Tiancang Palace is to protect Xu Deling.

Whether the Tiancang Sect exists or not is of little concern to them.

Even if the Greedy Wolf Sect eventually unifies the two prefectures, they would not dare to easily offend the Heavenly Forging Sect.

Although the Tianzhu Sect only has two Nascent Soul stage cultivators, its network of connections is far superior to that of the Tiancang Sect. It can easily summon at least four or five Nascent Soul stage cultivators to assist them.

More than half an hour.

Under the watchful eyes of True Lord Qingmu, True Lord Lieyang and his disciple left the Tiancang Sect.

A golden figure flashed by.

Then Bai Yan appeared beside True Monarch Qingmu. "Senior Brother Qingmu, how did the talks go?"

"They all just want benefits without taking any real action. They want the Heavenly Forging Sect to stand against the Greedy Wolf Sect, but that will only happen if they actually threaten the Heavenly Forging Sect. This matter still needs careful planning."

At least for now, they are willing to outwardly cooperate with my Heavenly Azure Sect to deter the Greedy Wolf Sect.

This is enough to buy us more time.

"Alas, it's all our fault for being too impulsive last time, otherwise our two senior brothers, Chi Yang and Huang Yuan, would not have perished in the ancient Mount Tai sect's secret realm."

Otherwise, our Heavenly Azure Sect wouldn't have fallen to such a state.

Aoki Shinjun glanced at Bai Yan, "There's no need to bring up the past anymore. Even if you feel guilty and remorseful, it won't make any difference."

Moreover, the Greedy Wolf Sect has been eyeing our Heavenly Azure Sect for quite some time now.

However, they must have made a significant improvement in their foundation, such as having one or two more Golden Core stage elders who have achieved great success in their supernatural abilities, or having an additional Nascent Soul stage member.

Otherwise, they should know that even if they win a war, it will be a Pyrrhic victory, and others will only benefit from it.

Speaking of which, Junior Brother Bai, during your encounter in the secret realm last time, did you really not know who killed Huang Yuan and Junior Brother Chi Yang?

"We split up to explore the secret realm. The one who killed my Azure Wolf True Monarch should be the Heavenly Wolf True Monarch, after all, he is the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage in the Greedy Wolf Sect."

He was also a True Monarch-level expert at the peak of the Golden Core stage!

"If he makes a move, there is indeed a high probability that he will kill them."

A look of apprehension flashed in Qingmu Zhenjun's eyes. He was a late-stage Golden Core Ninth Level True Lord, not far from the Golden Core Perfection stage.

But if he were to face the Heavenly Wolf True Lord of the Greedy Wolf Sect, he would have no choice but to flee in disarray.

“Junior Brother Bingqian will be able to emerge from seclusion in another ten years or so. His talent surpasses mine. If it weren’t for the extreme difficulty of cultivating ice-type divine abilities, he would have already become a True Monarch-level expert.”

However, this time, it seems likely that I will be able to pass through customs successfully.

Even if he didn't reach the Golden Core stage, the power of his ancient ice-type divine ability, "Azure Ice Flame," was enough to rival or even suppress True Monarch Tianlang.

"So that's why Senior Brother brought in the Heavenly Forging Sect, stirred up the situation, and made the Greedy Wolf Sect wary, thus buying Senior Brother Bingqian more time?"

“That’s right, but…” Aoki Shinjun sighed slightly, “Let’s not talk about it anymore, let’s take care of the present first.”

After speaking, Aoki Shinjun gracefully flew towards his own mountain peak.

Yunxi Town.

The last seven or eight days.

Xu Chuan had already begun to condense the Seed of Supernatural Power, with the True Meaning of Supernatural Power as its core, as instructed by Murong Yun.

He sat cross-legged beside the withered tree.

Its emanating essence of life and death resonated with the withering and flourishing tree, and the two exchanged their life and death powers, allowing the seed of life and death, which would normally take five or six days to condense, to be successfully formed in just two days.

Moreover, the withered tree also benefited greatly, growing to about two and a half meters after being nourished.

In the remaining days, Xu Chuan continued to comprehend the true meaning of decay and prosperity, and also pondered the next seal method of "Cure and Prosperity Seal".

Before we knew it, it was the eighth day of the sixth lunar month.

All the Golden Core families of Tiancang Prefecture rushed to Yunxi Town. In addition, there were also many Foundation Establishment families and a large number of rogue cultivators who wanted to witness the formation of the Golden Core.

The streets and squares around Yunxifang are filled with cultivators.

As for the square, a banquet was set up, shrouded in a grand array, and only those with invitations were allowed to enter and take their seats.

"Brother Yan, you've come too."

"Brother Shangguan, it's been a long time. The Xu family has really gone all out this time. I imagine that all the Golden Core families in Tiancang Prefecture have been invited."

"Old Ghost Yan has been studying weapon crafting all along, and he's finally decided to come out and take a walk."

"I can go wherever I want, it's none of your business!"

“Fellow Daoist Lei, even a top-tier Golden Core family like your Baiyun Mountain cares so much about a Foundation Establishment cultivator who has just reached the Core Formation stage.”

"The three major clans, the Cang family, and the Yuzhuhai Mo family have all arrived. How could my Lei family be absent?"

The old man from the Lei family, who was at the Golden Core stage, stroked his beard and laughed, "Look, True Monarch Qingmu and Xi Tianjiao have also arrived."

Two figures flew in from a distance.

Ye Fan went up to greet them and led them to their respective seats.

"Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Lei, Lei Chaojian of your Lei family almost made it into the Gathering of Prodigies. It's a bit of a pity."

"What a pity! A slight difference can lead to a huge error. It was impossible before, and there is no hope for it in the future. I heard that the Blackwater Domain will participate in the next Heavenly Pride Conference."

Only by cultivating geniuses comparable to the chief disciple of a Nascent Soul sect can one hope to break into the Genius Ranking.

"Well, that's true, but the Xu family is really an anomaly."

Among the Golden Core cultivators of Tiancang Prefecture, even those from the Golden Core families of the Seven Cities, they rarely meet. The rest of them only meet when friends visit, or when they are invited to participate in such a Golden Core Ceremony, or when there are important events in Tiancang Prefecture.

Otherwise, the Golden Core cultivators would not gather together; they would almost all be in seclusion cultivating.

However, it's impossible to invite so many Golden Core cultivators to a typical Golden Core Ceremony for a newly promoted Golden Core cultivator.

Some people won't go even if they receive an invitation.

At Chen Changge's last Golden Core Ceremony, quite a few people attended, since it was held in the name of the Qingmu Sect, but only about one-third of the Golden Core forces sent people to attend.

This time, almost all the forces above the Golden Core stage from Tiancang Prefecture were present.

no way.

A Foundation Establishment family with three outstanding talents is impossible to ignore.

As for those who are curious, they are everywhere.

After receiving the invitations, they all eagerly came to visit the Xu family.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you and Fellow Daoist Feng are both here. Is there anyone else from the Qingmu Sect?" an old patriarch from a Golden Core family chuckled and joked.

Chen Changge clasped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Wenren is too fond of joking. I am here on behalf of the Chen family. Fellow Daoist Feng is the true representative of the Qingmu Sect."

The patriarch of the Dongfang family stroked his beard and looked at Chen Changge, saying, "It seems that the Chen family and the Xu family have a close relationship, otherwise they wouldn't have specially sent another invitation to you, Fellow Daoist Chen."

"It's just that Mr. Chen and Fellow Daoist Xu have similar temperaments and find each other very compatible, which is why we've become closer."

"I see."

This gathering is not only for those who have reached the Golden Core stage, but also for all the younger generation of Tiancang Prefecture.

Almost all the top talents from various families have arrived.

The Golden Core cultivators chatted amongst themselves, and these young geniuses also greeted each other.

"Ye Tianjiao, why haven't I seen Fairy 'Cold Moon'?" Liu Yue asked.

"Yes, there are very few female cultivators among the younger generation who came this time, and she is now a role model for the female cultivators of our Tiancang Prefecture!" Yan Fengwu said with a smile.

"Is Fairy De Ling not here either? Could she be traveling and not yet returned?" Yan Yue asked with concern.

Yan Fengwu shook her head helplessly upon hearing this. "My silly brother, when will you wake up from your dream?"
Ye Fan smiled and said, "Yue'er will stay with Master. Once Master has made all the preparations, she will come to inform you."

"I see." Liu Yue said, "However, there is one thing I don't understand. Why didn't Patriarch Xu wait until everyone had formed their cores before notifying them to come and participate in the Golden Core Ceremony? Wouldn't that have been more prudent?"
If this attempt to form the core fails, all the prestige the Xu family has painstakingly built up with the help of Brother Ye and his family will be reduced to ashes.

"Reputation? What use is it to my Xu family?" Ye Fan said indifferently, "Whether or not we have reputation, my Xu family will still be the same Xu family."

Several people seemed to be thinking about something.

The upper floors of the Yellow Crane Tower.

Xu Deling, Lieyang Zhenjun, Yanzhen Zhenjun, Qingxuan Zhenjun, and Zhang Xuanzhi did not go to the square.

They planned to appear only after Xu Chuan successfully formed his Golden Core.

On Yunxifang Street.

An elderly man with white hair and beard walked along, stroking his beard and glancing around, nodding slightly from time to time.

"This market may be small, but it's really lively, with a vibrant energy that's hard to find in ordinary markets." The old man with the beard murmured, "No wonder that kid could easily take out such a large amount of spirit stones."

The Lord of Yunxi owns all the properties in this area, some of which are leased out to families in the town, while others are managed by his own family.

The shops in town that earn the most spirit stones are all owned by the Xu family, and they cover everything from pills and artifacts to arrays and talismans, as well as clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

Even excluding the family's cultivation resources, the spirit stones they earn are not to be underestimated. Ordinary Golden Core families probably cannot earn a quarter of the spirit stones the Xu family earns in a year.

This is only because he is confined to this place; if his businesses were spread throughout Tiancang Prefecture and even the entire Northwest...
It's likely to become another super trading company like the Void Heaven Trading Company.

Tsk tsk tsk, I should have asked for three thousand spirit stones for a wooden box last time.

As people get older, their hearts soften.

By chance, his gaze fell upon the Xu residence, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "Using a false appearance to deceive is indeed much more ingenious than setting up a divine sense barrier to prevent spying."

Xu Mingxian, this kid's skill in formations is quite remarkable. My book "Records of Formations" must have ended up in his hands, so it wasn't wasted.

However, it was ultimately only a third-order array, and even a Nascent Soul level divine sense could not forcefully penetrate it.

"Fine, I won't pry into the Xu family's secrets any further."

The old man then began to stroll around leisurely, as if he were playing a game.

Xu Mansion.

Beneath the withered and flourishing tree.

Xu Chuan sat cross-legged here, dressed in a plain white Taoist robe, his eyes slightly closed, his aura surprisingly calm.

Xu Deyue stood about ten feet away.

“Grandfather, the two top Golden Core families of Tiancang Prefecture, the Lei family and the Mo family, as well as the Tiancang Sect, the three sects, and the Golden Core families of the seven cities, almost everyone who should be here has arrived.”

"Go and inform them."

"Yes, grandfather."

After bowing, Xu Deyue took off and flew towards the square.

"Everyone, the head of the Xu family is ready, and the Core Formation will begin immediately."

Although it's a public Core Formation, it's impossible to be completely unprepared. To form the Core in front of others is like lighting a lamp in an outhouse.

"Is it finally about to begin?" An old man with the Golden Core stage stroked his beard and smiled faintly.

"Breaking through to the Golden Core stage isn't that simple. Even with ample preparation, it'll probably take at least a day or two to break through the bottleneck." Someone else gazed at the sky above the Xu residence.

"Perhaps. I used to struggle for more than half a month before finally breaking through the bottleneck."

"Who says it isn't?"

at the same time.

The half-blue, half-gray seed of supernatural power in Xu Chuan's dantian shone brightly.

A surge of life and death essence, under its influence, began to impact that invisible barrier of realm.

He perfected every step of his breakthrough to the Golden Core stage, making the seemingly insurmountable bottleneck of the Golden Core stage barely thicker than paper.

It was several times easier than when I first started building my foundation.

Without the slightest hesitation or danger, in just a quarter of an hour, a faint "pop" sound was heard, and the bottleneck was easily broken.

The extraordinary phenomenon of Core Formation immediately arose!

The five elements of spiritual energy in the world seemed to be attracted by an invisible force, transforming into a colorful river of spiritual energy that converged above the Xu residence.

This formed a super vortex of spiritual energy with a diameter of 100 meters.

After a while.

It cascaded down like a waterfall!

"A phenomenon of Core Formation?!" Countless people exclaimed in surprise!

"How could it be so fast!" All the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment geniuses present were shocked.

After all, only a quarter of an hour had passed since Xu Deyue sent the message.

Breaking through the Golden Core bottleneck in a quarter of an hour is something even those with Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude cannot do!

"Just how amazing must Patriarch Xu have honed his Core Formation foundation to be able to do it so easily!"

"Without a doubt, it must be the formation of a supernatural core!"

"After hundreds of years, is Tiancang Prefecture finally going to produce another True Monarch-level expert with the Divine Power Core Formation?"

True Monarch Qingmu, True Monarch Lieyang, and True Monarch Qingxuan all had a slight glint in their eyes. Even though they had not personally witnessed the process of forming a core with supernatural powers, they had read about it in the sect's records.

This breakthrough was achieved at an astonishing speed!
"The formation of the core through supernatural powers takes as little as three or four hours, or as long as a day. This is a bit too fast."

Qingxuan Zhenjun muttered to himself, but he couldn't see through the Xu family's grand formation and didn't know what was inside.

Zhang Xuanzhi would later also pursue supernatural powers and form his core, and having already read the records in the sect, he found it equally unbelievable.

The whole of Yunxi Town was buzzing with discussion.

"Patriarch Xu has indeed formed his core today."

"Yes, it's amazing that he formed his core so quickly!"

"It feels like breaking a hymen, you just poke it once and it's done!"

"Fellow Daoist, your description is far too vivid and detailed!"

The massive amount of spiritual energy from the Five Elements poured into the great array above Xu Chuan's head like a celestial river. After being refined by the Five Elements Condensation Array set up by Xu Mingxian, it transformed into higher-quality spiritual energy before entering his dantian.

The Seed of Divine Power spun continuously, attracting this massive amount of spiritual energy. Xu Chuan used his powerful Golden Core divine sense to compress, compress, and compress it again.

An hour later.

A golden pill the size of a fist, with a five-colored luster, finally took shape in Xu Chuan's dantian, its surface flowing with the power of withering and flourishing.

The faint phantom of a seed of supernatural power could be seen at its core, radiating a pressure far exceeding that of an ordinary golden core.

However, the formation of the core is not yet truly complete at this point.

One must also integrate one's essence, energy, and spirit into the golden elixir, linking one's life and death, before the elixir can be considered formed, which is also the key to breaking through the elixir and becoming an infant in the future.

Xu Chuan did not take this final step.

Instead, he made a hand seal with both hands and exhaled.

The golden elixir transformed into a stream of light and flew out of his mouth, hovering three feet in front of him.

The moment the golden core leaves the body, it immediately connects with heaven and earth, and the pure five elements spiritual energy in the sky continuously washes over and refines the golden core.

Then this power also flowed into Xu Chuan's meridians and dantian.

This is the ancient method of Core Formation taught by Murong Yun. It utilizes the essence of spiritual energy bestowed by heaven and earth during a breakthrough to transform all the magical power in the body into Golden Core-level magical power in a short period of time.

It eliminates the long refining process that ordinary cultivators undergo after breaking through.

For someone like Chen Changge, this single step of magical power conversion took him several months, or even more than half a year.

After all, it takes almost a month to convert one's magical power after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

The time required to achieve the Golden Elixir is naturally much longer.

With this secret method, he could quickly stabilize his core after it was formed, and possess the full strength of a normal Golden Core.

Of course, Xu Chuan was pursuing the Divine Power Core Formation method.

With the Seed of Supernatural Power as its core, not only does the pressure of the Golden Core far surpass that of the early Golden Core stage, but the magical power it transforms also possesses supernatural characteristics, making it far superior in quality to the early Golden Core stage. It can be called "The Power of Withering and Flourishing".

This is a characteristic unique to the Golden Core stage of supernatural powers. If one enters the Golden Core stage and then comprehends supernatural powers, this will not be the case.

This kind of opportunity only happens once in a lifetime when one successfully forms the Golden Core.

This secret technique is now almost lost, and even top Nascent Soul sects may not have it.

This practice is tantamount to stealing the secrets of heaven, so there is a time limit to absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, at most one hour.

During this one hour, the conversion and accumulation of magical power is hundreds or thousands of times greater than usual. The specific amount depends mainly on the individual's foundation.

When Xu Chuan felt he had reached his limit, he put the elixir into his abdomen, completing the final life-or-death connection.

Only now is the formation of the core complete.

Heaven and earth seemed to sense this, and the strange phenomena began to dissipate.

At this moment, Xu Chuan's aura had reached the peak of the first level of the Golden Core stage.

His divine sense could even extend for eighty miles, approaching the level of the late Golden Core stage.

Feeling the surging magical power and powerful soul within his body, Xu Chuan's lips curled into a slight smile.

This is:
When medicine meets similar qi, it will take shape; when the Tao is in harmony with the mysterious and mysterious, it will become natural.

After swallowing a golden elixir, I realized that my fate was not determined by fate.
