Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 113 Supernatural Rain

Su You looked at the golden, pure, and flawless pill in front of him and swallowed it in one gulp.

Although those at the Golden Core stage can briefly separate their Golden Core from their body, they cannot do what the Nascent Soul stage can do—remain separated from their body for an extended period, and still possess the ability to attack.

Now that he had completed his first-grade golden core, Su You was most curious about what kind of supernatural power his golden core possessed.
Generally speaking, the abilities of the Golden Elixir are largely related to the cultivation methods one practices.

For example, if he is currently cultivating a water-attribute technique, then the supernatural abilities he generates will most likely be water-attribute.

However, because his spiritual power has unique attributes and he interfered during the formation of the Golden Core, he is now curious about what kind of supernatural abilities he can develop.

With his eyes closed, Su You silently sensed his golden core, his thoughts venturing into the profound runes.

Suddenly, he understood the supernatural power that the big tree represented.

Su You took out a magical weapon and then forcefully cut his palm, causing drops of blood to slowly drip down.

He didn't care at all, and just flicked his finger lightly.

Drops of green liquid fell into my palm.

The wound above healed instantly.

This is his talent!
Timely rain!

It can produce a sweet dew full of powerful life force.

If that were all, the Sweet Rain Divine Power wouldn't be anything special, since many elixirs can easily achieve the same result.

However, the Ganlin Divine Power has a particularly powerful aspect: the more life force it absorbs, the more powerful the Ganlin it nurtures becomes.

That's right!

The current Dew of Sweet Rain is merely something he cultivated with his magical power, but the Dew of Sweet Rain Divine Power is not limited to this. It can also extract the life force of other life forms, store it, and cultivate even more powerful Dew of Sweet Rain.

As for how much vitality it can store and how much power it has, he will have to experiment with it himself to find out.

Furthermore, although the Sweet Rain Divine Power appears to be just an auxiliary divine power, its ability to extract and deprive life force could potentially be effective in battle. If so, it would be a powerful ally.

However, this single auxiliary ability is already excellent for Su You.

After all, the twin clones are positioned to stay behind the lines and conduct various research projects, which will undoubtedly require a lot of flesh-and-blood experiments.

Just like when we were researching bloodline potions, having the power of Sweet Rain would have been a huge help in conducting experiments.

Moreover, since the Dew of Sweet Rain possesses powerful vitality, would it be effective in cultivating spiritual herbs or even spiritual roots?

However, now is not the time for experiments. He needs to wait until he returns to Luoxia Island before he can conduct a detailed study of the Ganlin Divine Power.

"After using the Golden Elixir, I don't even need to go into seclusion to stabilize my cultivation. However, since I'm staying at the Void Heaven Sect to break through, I'll go into seclusion for a year before attempting another breakthrough," Su You decided after some thought.

Normally, when an ordinary person breaks through to the Golden Core realm, even if the Golden Core is successfully condensed, they still need to spend a period of time in seclusion to cultivate and consolidate their foundation.

However, the pills Su You used were different. They included the Golden Essence Pill and the Three Yuan Treasure Pill, all of which were extremely rare and hard to find in the outside world. Once a breakthrough was made, the cultivation level would be very stable.

Since there was no need to solidify his foundation, Su You took out a bottle of pills to enhance his Golden Core cultivation and began his practice.

The path from the early stage of the Golden Core realm to the peak of the Golden Core realm is extremely long, and even with ample elixirs, it is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time.

Just like when he broke through from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the peak of Foundation Establishment, he also had plenty of pills, but it still took him more than 30 years.

Of course, some of that time was wasted on changing cultivation methods; otherwise, he could have achieved a breakthrough in just over twenty years.

……

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Su You stretched his body and then left the training room.

Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, the disciples there immediately came to greet him, "Congratulations, Uncle-Master Jiang, on breaking through to the Golden Core stage!"

The extraordinary phenomenon of Su You's breakthrough to the Golden Core stage had already spread, and Su You had become a celebrity in the sect after becoming a disciple, which is why he was so complimentary.

Master uncle?

Su You was taken aback for a moment, then came to his senses and smiled, saying, "You're too kind, nephew."

I never imagined that he would now be a senior figure in the same generation as his master.

However, that's how the world of cultivation is—the strong prey on the weak. Unless someone has extraordinary talent or a master-disciple relationship, seniority is determined by cultivation level.

After leaving the cultivation room, Su You first went to his master to report the good news.

His master had given him considerable support, so he respected Zhao Qing quite a bit.

Of course, this is assuming that there is no fundamental conflict between the two parties.

……

Danling Peak.

Upon seeing Su You, Zhao Qing couldn't wait to ask, "What grade is Chen'er's pill?"

The grade of the Golden Core is related to future potential. If the Golden Core is of a higher grade, the sect will pay more attention to it and give it preferential treatment in terms of resources.

He is now very satisfied with his apprentice. The apprentice has a talent for alchemy that is no less than his own, and more importantly, his talent for cultivation is even stronger. He will definitely be able to inherit his mantle in the future.

Only if the quality of the Golden Core is at least mid-grade, then he can definitely push Su You to the Nascent Soul stage.

At that time, the master and disciple will have more power in the sect.

"Master, the pill has reached the third grade." Su You said calmly, and slightly released his aura.

He dared not release his golden core, after all, a first-grade golden core is vastly different from other golden cores, especially the supernatural runes on it, which can be seen at a glance.

However, the Golden Core is a person's inherent essence, and no one can force it. Moreover, one can roughly judge the quality of a person's Golden Core based on their aura.

The stronger the aura, the higher the quality of the Golden Core. This is common knowledge. Generally, the aura of a high-grade Golden Core is equivalent to the cultivation level of the second level of the Golden Core stage.

"Great! Great!" Zhao Qing exclaimed excitedly, "I never expected that I would have a disciple who has reached the highest level of Golden Core!"

The fact that their alchemy lineage has produced a top-grade Golden Core disciple is a great source of pride for them.

Moreover, for the Void Heaven Sect, let alone a first-grade Golden Core, even a high-grade Golden Core is extremely rare, appearing only once every few hundred years. It is usually those disciples with heavenly spiritual roots who have been cultivated in all aspects of essence, qi, and spirit since childhood, and only then do they have a chance to form a high-grade Golden Core.

This is also why Su You didn't release his first-grade golden core. Moreover, his current authority within the Void Heaven Sect is sufficient, so there's no need to reveal too much; it's better to keep his abilities hidden.

After staying at Danling Peak for a while, he then went to the sect's internal affairs pavilion.

This time it's not about changing the token; it's still the True Inheritance Token. It's just that after reporting one's cultivation level, especially one's Golden Core rank, the sect's salary will be higher, and one will also have higher authority.

Although Su You was not short of spirit stones, he would not refuse spirit stones that he had picked up for free.

After finishing these tasks, Su You immediately returned to Luoxia Island. He still needed to carefully study his supernatural abilities.

The experiment was simple: a life-stripping experiment that used flesh and blood at various levels, as well as various grades of elixirs.

In addition, the accumulated magical power of sweet rain was also tested in different situations, including on spiritual herbs and their seeds.

The results came out very quickly.

"As expected, this supernatural attack wasn't very effective." Su You shook his head helplessly.

The effect of life deprivation only works on beings below the Golden Core stage, and the stronger the being, the weaker the effect.

According to the experimental results, the most vitality was deprived from life in the early stages of foundation building.

For someone in the Qi Refining stage, a single use of his Sweet Rain Divine Power would essentially kill them.

Therefore, this supernatural power is not very effective in combat.

Aside from experimenting on these living beings, Su You's most frequent experiments were on those vibrant spiritual herbs.

The life force contained in the elixir far exceeds that of normal life.

Moreover, it is very easy to extract, and even some high-quality spiritual herbs can have their life force completely extracted.

Since elixirs don't have their own consciousness, they offer no resistance when extracted.

However, the life force that Ganlin Divine Power can contain is limited; it cannot devour all life force, no matter how much it contains.

The amount of energy absorbed should be related to one's own strength, since the improvement of Golden Core supernatural abilities is closely related to one's personal strength.

Sweet dew!

Drops of emerald green liquid fell onto the medicinal herb seeds.

Click!Click!Click!
One by one, the medicinal herbs broke through their shells, growing rapidly and greedily absorbing the sweet rain.

One year, ten years, fifty years...

The oldest medicinal herbs are two hundred years old, while the youngest are close to one hundred years old.

The first medicinal herbs to reach two hundred years of age have stopped growing; only the remaining medicinal herbs that have not yet reached that age continue to grow.

"The highest it can be improved to is two hundred years?" Su You frowned.

This seems powerful, but it's nothing to Su You.

No Golden Core expert would say that, because being able to cultivate spiritual herbs quickly, even if it only takes two hundred years, can help them accumulate wealth rapidly.

However, this is rather pointless for Su You. How much can he earn by cultivating spiritual herbs to make money?

Once he masters a secret realm, spirit stones will be a continuous source, and he won't lack such a way to make money.

Moreover, he couldn't possibly focus his energy on cultivating elixirs.

Most importantly, the Golden Core Divine Power has a limited number of uses per day. If it were unlimited and could be used indefinitely, Su You wouldn't mind making a quick buck.

After all, a two-hundred-year-old spiritual herb still has some value, as it is the main ingredient for refining mid-Foundation Establishment pills. If some rare spiritual herbs are selected and cultivated, the benefits can be even greater.

Of course, it can't be said that this supernatural power is completely useless. At least when there is a lack of rare spiritual herbs, one can cultivate them oneself.

For example, spiritual medicines related to the soul and spirit, as well as some spiritual medicines used to refine pills that break through barriers, are far more valuable than ordinary spiritual medicines.

Most importantly, this supernatural power will gradually increase as Su You's strength grows. Once the supernatural power becomes even stronger, it may be possible to cultivate spiritual herbs of even higher age.

Especially the five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, which are very important to Su You. This level of spiritual herbs is the main ingredient for refining Golden Core level pills, and they are extremely difficult to buy in the outside world.

Besides contributing to the cultivation of elixirs, he also tested the restorative abilities of the Dew of Sweet Rain, directly using his own body to test it. Since he could be resurrected after death, he tested it as severely as possible.

Experiments have shown that while the Dew of Sweet Rain cannot be said to bring the dead back to life or heal flesh and bones, its effects are not far off.

Reconstructing severed limbs is an easy task.

It even has the same effect on Su You's third-tier body refinement.

I should carry a bottle of Dew of Sweet Rain with me from now on; it might come in handy in case of unexpected situations.

As for selling it, he had no intention of doing so. After all, spiritual liquid that could cultivate spiritual herbs was extremely rare even in the outside world, comparable to some special rare and precious materials, so he would not expose his secret.

"Now that I've reached the Golden Core stage, it's time to start working on refining my natal magic weapon," Su You thought to himself.

He had already made up his mind about choosing his natal magic weapon: to create a more perfect and powerful wizard tower and then refine it into his own natal magic weapon.

With such a natal magic weapon, his ability to protect himself can definitely be raised to another level.

However, this is also a huge problem.

To refine the Wizard Tower into a natal magic weapon, one must integrate the cultivation system into the Wizard Tower's system; otherwise, the refining process will be impossible.

This is a huge undertaking. It requires not only a thorough understanding of the wizarding system, but also a profound understanding of the weapon-refining system in the cultivation world, in order to perfectly integrate them.

"Let's wait a bit longer. Once my physical body breaks through, I'll travel outside and see if I can find any good weapon-refining inheritances," Su You decided.

He had already reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment and promised that he would reach the peak of Foundation Establishment in seven or eight years, at which point he could begin his breakthrough.

With the experience from last time, Su You will find it easier to break through, and with his deeper foundation, forming a first-grade golden core should be a piece of cake.

With this in mind, the twin clone returned to the laboratory. This time, he needed to pause his cultivation for a while and focus on the research of the teleportation array, striving to create a teleportation array that spans space.

At that time, not only will we be able to bring out the Black Abyss, but we will also be able to quietly take control of the Hongya Secret Realm.

Only by controlling the Hongya Secret Realm can he continuously earn spirit stones from it.

Although Su You doesn't have many people under his command right now, as long as he finds a suitable spiritual artifact to refine the Book of Souls, controls a group of subordinates, and uses bloodline potions to help them improve their cultivation, he can immediately have a large number of people to help him cultivate the Hongya Secret Realm.

As the years passed, Su You's cultivation improved steadily, and his research on the twin clones also made great progress.

Although he had a limited supply of Enlightenment Tea leaves and couldn't use them all the time, he could still use them occasionally. Whenever he hit a bottleneck, he would use a leaf of Enlightenment Tea, which would both conserve the tea leaves and help him speed up his research.

……

Training room.

On this day, all the spiritual energy in the empty cave dwellings within Luoxia Immortal City was drawn over and concentrated in the cultivation room.

The spiritual energy in the cultivation room is now as concentrated as that of a cave dwelling with a fourth-order spiritual vein.

As Su You circulated his cultivation technique, a large amount of spiritual energy was drawn into his body, forming a vortex.

Unlike before, this time the violent spiritual energy washed over him had no effect on his physical body whatsoever, and couldn't even bring him any improvement.
