Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 626 Inventorying Supplies, Fourth Level of Golden Core (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
After settling everything in, Li Yunjing went alone to the Lingquan Cave on the back mountain.

The cave was shrouded in mist, and a pool of emerald green spring water exuded a rich spiritual energy.

He removed his outer robe and slowly stepped into the spring, letting the warm, spiritual water envelop his entire body.

"call……"

The long-lost feeling of comfort made Li Yunjing breathe a sigh of relief.

The spiritual energy in the spring water seeped into my meridians through my pores, and the hidden injuries accumulated over the past nine years were gradually being repaired.

He leaned against the green jade by the spring, closed his eyes, and regulated his breathing.

You should know that Li Yunjing invested a lot in this spiritual spring, adding some "life-giving spring water" to it, making it arguably the best spring water in the world.

Amidst the misty spray of the spiritual spring, Li Yunjing leaned lazily against the wall of the jade pool. With a gentle swipe of his finger, all the storage magic treasures floated in front of him.

The warm spring water soaked his skin, and the spiritual energy within him became increasingly abundant under the nourishment of the "source of life".

"Let me see what good stuff I've accumulated over the years..."

He first took out the "Purple Gold Gourd," which contained basically 90% of his resources.

The remaining "storage rings" and "storage bracelets" contain all the resources needed for daily use, while the "treasure pouches" contain resources intended for giving away.

As the incantation was activated, a beam of light gushed out from the gourd's mouth, and all sorts of rare and precious materials poured out like a waterfall, forming a small floating mountain above the spiritual spring.

"The 'Heavenly Net Great Rejuvenation Pill' of the 'Heavenly Net Dao Sect,' the 'Reverse Scale Armor' of the Dragon Clan, and the 'Million-Year Coral' of the Sea Clan..."

Li Yunjing counted and categorized the items as he went.

These are all spoils of war, each one priceless.

Suddenly, an inconspicuous fragment of bronze caught his attention.

The surface of the fragment is covered with mysterious patterns, which was obtained from the South China Sea.

On that day, if it weren't for the presence of the sect's senior, the Divine Phoenix, Li Yunjing would have been killed by the "Azure Water Demon Emperor," which shows that this bronze fragment seems to have some significance.

"interesting……"

Li Yunjing held the fragment in his hand and played with it, vaguely sensing a strange power contained within it, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Unable to figure it out, Li Yunjing put the bronze fragments into his "storage ring" to study later.

Then he took out the contents of several "storage rings" and "storage bracelets" and poured out a pile of jade slips and scrolls.

These are various schools of martial arts and secret techniques, including some long-lost skills.

Li Yunjing casually picked up a scroll titled "The True Explanation of Xuan Shui," which he obtained after slaying the Xuan Shui Dragon King and contained the supreme and wondrous methods of water-based supernatural powers.

"Huh? This is..."

During the inspection, a completely black jade slip rolled out.

Li Yunjing remembered that it was found deep in the dragon clan's settlement, but because of the war, he hadn't had time to check it.

He probed the jade slip with his divine sense, and immediately a sense of ancient vicissitudes washed over him.

The jade slip contained a cultivation technique called the "Dragon Emperor Scripture," which, judging from the description, seemed to be the supreme inheritance of the dragon race!
"Good heavens! This is the supreme martial art of the Dragon Clan!"

A glint of light flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes.

If one masters this technique, one can transform into a true dragon, possessing the power to move mountains and fill seas, and summon wind and rain.

However, the conditions for cultivation are extremely demanding, requiring the essence and blood of a true dragon as a guide.

"Once the dragon race is wiped out, many people will probably be able to cultivate this divine skill."

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and took out a jade bottle from the "Purple Gold Gourd".

The bottle contained three drops of golden blood, which were the true dragon essence blood collected by the sect during the great battle in the South China Sea when they killed the Dragon King!

As the deputy head of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", Li Yunjing naturally gets a share of the benefits.

"A dragon's body means nothing to me, but my friends need it!"

Li Yunjing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The ripples of the spring water reflected his excited face.

After taking inventory of the main items, he also checked the various talismans, elixirs, and magical artifacts he carried with him.

Over the years, he has fought in various places and his wealth has become astonishing. He has thousands of top-grade spirit stones alone, not to mention those rare materials that are priceless.

"almost."

Li Yunjing waved his hand and took back most of the items, leaving only the jade slip of the "Dragon Emperor Scripture" and the essence blood of the true dragon.

He planned to give the cultivation method to his woman after he recovered, and among his friends, Fu Chao and Ma Xingyuan were qualified to cultivate it.

As for more friends?
Then Li Yunjing would have no more True Dragon Blood.

Even if Li Yunjing were willing to teach, no one else could cultivate it.

As for hunting down dragons again?

This is impossible, at least in the East China Sea, the South China Sea, and the southern mainland.

The dragons in these places have been almost wiped out, and it is unknown how many dragon settlements remain in other areas.

Perhaps on "Tianlan Star", dragons will become rare and protected animals.

After assessing his condition and soaking in the spiritual spring, Li Yunjing put on his "Nine Heavens Thunder Pattern Taoist Robe" and went to the star-gazing platform at the highest point of the manor.

From here, you can overlook the entire "Seven Star Peak" landscape, with the distant sea of ​​clouds resembling burning flames under the setting sun.

"Your Excellency, dinner is ready."

Zhu Wanyun's voice came from behind.

Li Yunjing turned around and found that she had changed into a light blue dress, with only a white jade hairpin in her hair, making her look exceptionally beautiful and refined.

"You don't need to be so formal in the future."

Li Yunjing said gently, "Although we are master and servant, I remember how you have protected this family business for me all these years."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wanyun's eyes reddened slightly: "It is my good fortune to be able to follow the Imperial Preceptor."

That's true. Without Li Yunjing's guidance, even if Zhu Wanyun had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, she probably wouldn't have had much of a future.

Now, she spends her days at "Qiwu Manor," reading countless books. With its top-notch environment and the treasures bestowed upon her by Li Yunjing, she has no shortage of resources for cultivation. If she continues cultivating like this, Li Yunjing believes there's a high probability that Zhu Wanyun will reach the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
It's unknown whether this woman will be able to achieve the Golden Core stage in the future!

"Even if she can't form a core, perhaps if I reward her with some treasures, she can become a Golden Core cultivator?"

The thought flashed through Li Yunjing's mind.

After dinner, Li Yunjing went to the study.

The table was neatly arranged with the income and expenditure ledgers of "Seven Star Peak" over the years, as well as various intelligence records kept by Zhu Wanyun.

He casually flipped through the documents and gained a general understanding of the development of "Seven Star Peak" over the years.

"It seems you've done a good job while I was away."

Li Yunjing nodded in satisfaction.

Through this intelligence, he basically had a clear understanding of the changes that had taken place in the "Seven Star Palace" over the past nine years.

"This is what I should do."

Zhu Wanyun respectfully replied, then hesitated for a moment, "Grand Preceptor, there is one more thing..."

"But it doesn't matter."

Li Yunjing said dismissively.

“Three years ago, Master Yuheng from Tian Shu Peak came to visit you, saying he wanted to give you some gifts to clear up any misunderstandings. Since you are not home, I dare not make the decision.”

Zhu Wanyun said.

"'Tian Shu Peak'?"

Li Yunjing paused in his teacup, raised an eyebrow and said, "We can coexist peacefully from now on. I'll find some time to talk to the people from 'Tian Shu Peak'."

Now, Li Yunjing no longer cares about those trivial matters from the past.

What do a few grudges matter?
We are all members of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," and focusing on developing the sect is the right thing to do.

He certainly wouldn't be petty enough to retaliate against the people of "Tian Shu Peak".

After Zhu Wanyun left, Li Yunjing stood by the window, gazing at the brilliant stars in the night sky.

With his return, "Seven Star Peak" will surely become the focus of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" once again.

And those undercurrents of power struggles will eventually surface.

Anything can happen before one becomes the supreme leader.

Taking down "Tian Shu Peak" does not mean that Li Yunjing has won.

Perhaps someone is lurking in the shadows, or maybe they want to test their skills against you?
Li Yunjing would not underestimate any true disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

These guys are no pushovers!

Three days later, Li Yunjing entered the inner space of the "Purple Gold Gourd".

Here stands a "Chaos Palace" that he built.

This "Chaos Palace" is a collection of rare and precious materials, and it is one of the most treasured items that Li Yunjing has hidden deep inside.

It's a palace-level magical artifact!

At this moment, Li Yunjing began to dismantle the "Xuanyin Palace," integrating its large quantities of third- and fourth-tier materials, as well as the fifth-tier formation, the "Xuanyin Transformation Formation," into the "Chaos Palace."

This process lasted for a full year.

That year, Li Yunjing's acquaintances, as well as people from the sect, and subordinates of the "Seven Star Peak," "Black Tortoise Army," and "White Tiger Army," all knew that Li Yunjing had just returned, so no one came to disturb him.

This gave Li Yunjing a period of peace and quiet.

After Li Yunjing dismantled the "Xuanyin Palace" and integrated it into the "Chaos Palace", the power of this palace was almost as strong as the fourth-order high-grade level!

This was because Li Yunjing's cultivation in array formation was insufficient; otherwise, he could have fully unleashed the power of the fifth rank of the "Mysterious Yin Palace".

After finishing all that, Li Yunjing sat cross-legged in the "Chaos Palace".

This is his own private world, with an independent fourth-order spiritual vein, ensuring that no one can disturb him.

"It's time to break through."

He took a deep breath and adjusted himself to be in top condition.

As he cast his spell and mobilized the "Purple Gold Gourd," spiritual energy from within a hundred miles surged in like a tide, forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy above the "Chaos Palace."

Li Yunjing circulated the "Divine Firmament Dao," and the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core within his body slowly rotated, emitting a dazzling golden light.

The three lines on the surface of the Golden Core are clearly visible, representing the three levels of the Golden Core realm.

And now, he wants to add another layer to it!
"boom!"

As the cultivation technique was fully activated, the true energy within the body surged like a raging torrent.

Li Yunjing shuddered. Under the influence of magical power, the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core began to tremble, and the outline of the fourth pattern gradually appeared on its surface.

"Give it to me!"

With a low shout, the fourth pattern on the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core within his body finally took full shape!

In an instant, an aura several times stronger than before erupted from Li Yunjing's body, causing the entire "Chaos Palace" to tremble.

Golden Core Stage Four Heavens, Success!
Having cultivated to the fourth level of the Golden Core Realm, Li Yunjing's Thunderous Divine Body was already equivalent to the physique of the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm.

As for his spiritual sense, his spiritual manifestation is enough to radiate over a distance of seventy miles, comparable to a cultivator at the seventh level of the Golden Core realm!

In terms of magical power, Li Yunjing's strength has become increasingly profound, and the power of his supernatural abilities has greatly increased. Combining the strength of various aspects, Li Yunjing is fully capable of killing the vast majority of half-step Nascent Soul cultivators.

Even some weak Nascent Soul Realm cultivators at the first level, without powerful treasures, could be brutally killed by Li Yunjing thanks to his monstrous treasures!

In Li Yunjing's mind, even if he encountered a cultivator at the second level of the Nascent Soul Realm, he might not be afraid of them, at least he would have no problem protecting his life.

As for turning the tables on your opponent, that requires perfect timing, location, and support, and cannot be achieved through actual ability.

Of course, if you encounter a penniless Nascent Soul cultivator who doesn't even have a fourth-tier treasure, that's a different story.

However, the breakthrough is not over yet.

The immense power still exists; Li Yunjing's bottleneck simply doesn't exist.

A glint flashed in his eyes, and he decided to take this opportunity to cultivate the first level of the Dragon Emperor Scripture!
"hold head high……"

The dragon's roar grew louder and louder, and a golden dragon shadow appeared above the Dragon Tiger Golden Core.

Li Yunjing did not cultivate the power of the "Dragon Emperor Scripture" into his body, but instead directly integrated it into the Dragon Tiger Golden Core to strengthen the Golden Core that was the source of his power!

As the power of the Dragon Emperor Scripture was continuously cultivated, the true dragon's primordial energy was continuously injected into the golden core, and the Dragon Tiger Golden Core within Li Yunjing's body began to undergo astonishing changes.

The four lines on the surface of the golden core gradually turned gold, and a faint phantom of a real dragon could be seen coiling around it, complementing the original dragon and tiger imagery.

"The dragon and tiger complement each other, yin and yang are in harmony... I still need to perfect the 'White Tiger True Scripture'!"

Li Yunjing understood immediately and simultaneously activated the "White Tiger True Scripture" and the "Dragon Emperor Scripture".

A white tiger phantom appeared on the left side of the golden core, while a five-clawed golden dragon coiled on the right.

The powers of the two divine beasts formed a delicate balance within the golden core, merging with each other.

"That's not enough! I want to forge the strongest Golden Core!"

With a thought, he activated the three treasures inside the "Purple Gold Gourd".

A "Celestial Star Stone" shimmering with starlight, a "Thunderstone Mountain" containing the power of thunder, and a drop of "Mysterious Netherworld True Water" taken from "Burial Island" in the East China Sea.

"The power of the celestial stars helps me condense my golden core!"

The "Celestial Star Stone" transformed into specks of starlight and merged into the Golden Elixir, causing star patterns to appear on the surface of the Golden Elixir.

The "Mysterious Dark Water" then transformed into a dark, swirling stream that flowed around the Golden Core.

The "Heavenly Thunder Stone Mountain" shattered with a roar, and a portion of it transformed into a bolt of purple lightning, creating a thunder pool inside the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core.

The other part was placed in front of him, between Li Yunjing's eyebrows, where he opened the "Creation God Eye" and released the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal"!
His own imperial seal was of a low level. If he were to fuse with the "Heavenly Thunder Stone Mountain," he could forcibly break through the fourth rank based on its quality and become a treasure he would keep hidden away.

Otherwise, given the current quality of the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal," the amount of thunder power it can mobilize is limited, and it simply cannot exert its power in many high-level battles.

This is also why Li Yunjing has stopped using the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" in recent years!

If you force it, the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" will explode because its quality is not good enough. It's better not to use it at all and leave it in your sea of ​​consciousness to nourish it and connect with the thunder power in your sea of ​​consciousness.
