Chapter 231 The Golden Core of Martial Arts is Achieved—It Feels So Good! (Please Read On!)

Master Yuanfeng swallowed the elixir.

Then an expression of unbelievable ecstasy appeared on his face.

"It's increased! Although it's only a small increase, it really has!"

"This is...this is a magic pill!"

His voice trembled, as if he had seen a real deity.

It seems the strengthening pill really works.

Lu Zheng had anticipated that the Rejuvenation Pill might not be effective.

After all, this thing can only restore lost life force. Once it's replenished, eating it again will only cause life force to overflow, without any other effect.

But the Strengthening Pill is different.

Theoretically, this thing can be consumed indefinitely as long as the body is strong enough to absorb energy.

Simply by eating it, you can strengthen your body.

This effect likely stems from its ability to directly enhance the essence of life.

The Strengthening Pill had a very minor effect on Yuanfeng Zhenren's physical body, who was at the Celestial Realm, but the replenishment of his life essence was very noticeable for him, who only had thirteen years left to live.

One strengthening pill extended his lifespan by about ten days.

Although it was really little, it did increase.

If you can keep increasing the amount, eating one a day, it's practically equivalent to living forever!

Lu Zheng smiled and said:
“I come from another world, so I am very interested in the martial arts golden core and cultivation methods of real people.”

"If you are willing to share all your knowledge, I will do my best to obtain more of these elixirs for you."

"Help me condense my martial arts golden core, and I can help you obtain one hundred of them first."

Master Yuanfeng immediately did some calculations in his mind: one hundred pills equals one thousand days, which is roughly equivalent to extending one's lifespan by three years.

"Let me take ten pills first, and I'll see if they still have any effect."

Lu Zheng raised his hand, and ten strengthening pills landed on the table.

Master Yuanfeng immediately put it all into his mouth and ate it.

After sensing that his lifespan had increased by another hundred days, he looked into Lu Zheng's eyes and asked with intense gaze:
"What can I do for you in exchange for more elixirs?"

He was not blinded by greed.

Although, in my perception, Lu Zheng only possessed the strength of the peak of the Innate Realm.

But Lu Zheng said he came from another world, and the extent of his power was unknown. Of course, an old fox like Yuanfeng Zhenren would not make a move rashly.

Trading is the safest way.

Lu Zheng hesitated for two seconds.

"I am interested in the martial arts of this world."

"For any secret manual of grade three or above, below the innate level, I will give you a pill."

"A manual for the Innate Realm, containing ten spirit pills."

"A Celestial Realm manual, one hundred spirit pills for each, how about it?"

Master Yuanfeng nodded.

"Okay, is there any more?"

Lu Zheng answered again:

"If you have any rare or exotic plants, show them to me. If I'm interested, I'll give you at least ten spirit pills, and more depending on their value."

Master Yuanfeng nodded again.

"Okay, is there any more?"

Clearly, secret manuals and rare herbs have their limits, and since he knows a way to achieve near immortality, he will inevitably try every means to obtain more.

Lu Zheng then gave him another answer.

"If there are women who are both talented and beautiful, and of good character, you may also introduce them to me. I will give them the opportunity to become my Daoist partner. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, as long as the person I introduce satisfies me, I will give each person twenty spirit pills." Twenty spirit pills, two hundred days, more than half a year's lifespan.

The key is that these women are almost endless; after all, with each generation reproducing, finding three or four a year is not difficult.

This is almost equivalent to allowing Master Yuanfeng to continuously extend his lifespan.

"I have a female disciple named Meng Taoyao. She has exceptional talent in martial arts, comes from a prestigious family, is well-educated and reasonable, and has an extraordinary appearance."

"My cultivation has now reached the first rank. I have been granted the titles of Shou Suyuan and Miaofa Lianshi in the Chu Kingdom and am cultivating in the Miaozhen Temple in the capital."

"If the layman can guide her onto the path of immortality, it will be her blessing."

Good heavens, the allure of immortality is indeed the greatest.

This master sold out his disciple without hesitation.

Of course, perhaps he meant well, thinking that if his disciple was fortunate enough to follow Lu Zheng, he might also be able to obtain the elixir and no longer have to worry about his lifespan.

Regardless, Lu Zheng got the answer he wanted.

He smiled and said:
"Alright, you can teach me about the Golden Core of Martial Arts first. Once I have cultivated my Golden Core, I will go to her. If it is really as you say, you will receive twenty spirit pills."

"Also, from now on you can call me fellow Daoist, and don't call me layman anymore."

Master Yuanfeng quickly agreed.

He then took out his martial arts manual, "The Golden Chapter of the Primordial Dao Embryo," and began to explain it to Lu Zheng.

The so-called martial arts golden elixir, the unity of heaven and man, is to condense true essence into a golden elixir. True essence in a liquid state, after being compressed to the extreme, transforms into a solid state. It can be in various shapes, but the most stable state is a sphere.

Therefore, it is called the Golden Elixir.

Once the Golden Core is formed, it generates a powerful attraction. Without cultivation, the Golden Core can automatically absorb external energy, condense true qi, and transform it into true essence, thus creating an endless cycle of life.

During this process, the physical body undergoes a tempering process, resulting in a higher level of life and an increase in lifespan.

In other words, the increase in lifespan is essentially due to the strengthening of the physical body, rather than the formation of a martial arts golden core.

The Golden Elixir only represents power.

The claim that breaking through to the Celestial Realm grants a lifespan of five hundred years is merely a figurative figure.

In reality, most martial artists at the Celestial Realm do not live to be five hundred years old.

Yuanfeng Zhenren's "Hun Yuan Dao Tai Jin Zhang" is a relatively important method for cultivating the physical body and prolonging life.

He is 522 years old this year. If it weren't for Lu Zheng, he could probably live to be 535.

This is pretty good.

In this ancient martial arts society, the average lifespan was only a little over forty years.

Master Yuanfeng lived forty or fifty years longer than other martial artists at the Celestial Realm, which means he lived an extra generation.

It was precisely because of his existence that the State of Chu was able to enjoy such long-term peace and stability, and its national strength was the most powerful among the five Central Plains empires.

Well, now there are only four empires left.

"To condense a martial arts golden core, one needs a strong martial arts will. This often requires a long enough period of cultivation at the Innate Realm to hone one's will; otherwise, one cannot control the condensation of true essence."

Master Yuanfeng said solemnly.

Lu Zheng roughly understood that what was needed was sufficiently strong mental power to guide it.

His spiritual power has reached the ninth level, and he even possesses a spiritual domain. Condensing a martial arts golden core should not be a problem for him.

Now that he had a solution, he no longer hesitated.

He found a secluded spot, took out enough True Qi Pills and Spirit Domain Fruits to eat, and then began cultivating the "Primordial Dao Embryo Golden Chapter" to condense his own Martial Dao Golden Core.

The process went more smoothly than he had imagined.

It only took a little over an hour to complete the condensation of the golden core.

He couldn't help but feel a little proud of himself for mastering the Golden Core so easily.

Having only been in this world for two days, he already stands at the end of the martial arts world.

It feels so good to be cheating!
