Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 143: Instant Riches from Opening a Blind Box, Which Comes First: Pioneering or Invading?
Furthermore, without relying on external aids to try and reach the Core Formation realm, most Foundation Establishment cultivators are powerless to advance on their own.

Those who can condense a true core on their own are all cultivators with profound foundations and outstanding aptitude.

As long as it can be condensed into a true core, there is hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

True pills can also be divided into illusory pills, false pills, real pills, colored pills, and golden pills.

Illusion Pill and False Pill are low-grade True Pills.

Real pills and colored pills are mid-grade true pills.

The superior-grade elixir can also be called the superior-grade golden elixir.

In the cultivation world, it can almost be called a legendary realm because it is almost impossible to see. At least in the Li Kingdom, no Core Formation cultivator has ever claimed to have condensed a high-grade Golden Core.

Su Yueshang's inner core was at the level of a colored core, although it only had a slight purple-gold color.

It can be said that the color is not very obvious, but it is undoubtedly of high quality.

That's why she was able to withstand Wang Jue Tian, ​​who was at the peak of the early stage of Core Formation, and his disciple for a long time, even after she had just formed her Core and was ambushed, and even severely injured them.

If it weren't for her lack of combat experience and insufficient preparation, she might have even been able to turn the tables and kill her opponent.

At this moment, the True Core within Su Yueshang's body, which had absorbed some of the Yin-Yang energy of the Small Tai Chi and fused with the Xuanhuang Qi, was undergoing inexplicable changes.

The purple and gold colors are becoming increasingly rich, and the pure white base is slowly transforming into a jade color.

"Could it be that my True Core is about to advance to the Golden Core?" Su Yueshang asked in disbelief.

She had only heard of the Golden Core realm, as no one in the entire history of the Drunken Moon Palace had ever reached it in over a thousand years.

Even the first patriarch, Su Lianchen, was only a top-grade colored elixir.

At this moment, her true core is indeed slowly evolving, but the process is far too slow. Even if she eventually advances to the Golden Core stage, it is unknown how long it will take.

Moreover, this process requires her wholehearted assistance in cultivation, providing more foundation and resources for the Golden Core.

After an unknown amount of time, the slow and mysterious transformation, though not halted, had become almost imperceptible.

Su Yueshang knew that this was not something that could be accomplished overnight, so she stopped paying attention to it.

The Purple-Gold Jade Pill floated in the center of the Dao Platform, its radiance restrained, appearing more profound and substantial than the previous Colorful Pill. It seemed to be only a step away from becoming a true Golden Pill, yet it was separated by an insurmountable chasm.

Su Yueshang slowly opened her eyes, and there seemed to be a fleeting light in the depths of her eyes. Her aura became increasingly ethereal and otherworldly.

"How are you feeling?" Chen Qian, who had been watching over him, asked with concern.

Su Yueshang smiled broadly, her face beaming with immense joy: "It's better than ever before."

"I have actually acquired an extremely profound spiritual body. Even more miraculously, my true core has undergone a transformation after absorbing the primordial energy and the energy that my husband infused into me when he was healing me..."

She told Chen Qian in detail about her feelings and the strange changes in Zhendan.

After listening, Chen Qian wanted to investigate further, but unfortunately, his cultivation level was too low at the moment, and he could only rely on the feedback from the Fate Wheel Realm, so he was powerless to see anything himself.

But he couldn't hide his amazement: "Yue Chang's true core foundation is profound, and she seems to be only one step away from the legendary Golden Core. Congratulations, Yue Chang, you have a chance to reach the Golden Core stage."

She was informed that her spirit body was the Azure Mirage Illusionary Body. This was feedback from the Wheel of Fate. The various spirit bodies were named according to the rules of the Great Dao, not arbitrarily chosen by anyone.

"So it was originally called the Azure Mirage Illusionary Body?" Su Yueshang asked thoughtfully.

In fact, she has not yet conducted in-depth research and exploration of the spirit body. Otherwise, once the spirit body is truly stabilized, she will naturally receive feedback from the rules of the Great Dao and know the name of her own spirit body.

He then said gently to Chen Qian, "I am still injured, and my spiritual body and true core need time to consolidate their transformation. The matter of killing Wang Juetian also needs to be reported to the palace as soon as possible..."

Chen Qian nodded, picking up where she left off: "I understand."

He reached out and pulled the beauty into his arms, caressing her beautiful face that he could never tire of looking at.

"Although we have not held any ceremony, we have already formed a bond of love, and with the Wheel of Fate as our witness, I have come to regard you as my wife."

Upon hearing this, Su Yueshang's eyes softened as if they were about to overflow with tears, and her jade-like hands tightly grasped Chen Qian's large hand that was placed on her cheek.

She said softly, "My lord, are you not angry that I have not served you before you leave?"

Chen Qian shook his head and laughed, "What are you saying? How could I blame you? It's important for us to cultivate together, but we need to be careful about the timing."

"I have already decided that the best time for our Yin and Yang to intertwine will be when I establish my foundation."

"It can help me establish an unparalleled foundation for my cultivation, and it can also help you advance further in your Golden Core cultivation. This matter should wait until then!"

Although Chen Qian's foundation building process was not difficult, the amount of energy required would far exceed expectations.

Without suitable resources to assist, relying solely on absorbing the power of spiritual veins might take several years to break through, and it would be difficult to reach a state of perfection.

“Good.” Su Yueshang nodded; this was exactly what she was thinking.

Once one advances to the Core Formation stage in cultivating the Illusory Sound Moon Scripture, dual cultivation becomes a necessary condition for improving one's cultivation level. However, Su Yueshang is currently in poor condition, and Chen Qian's cultivation level is too low, so he is of little help to her.

Rashly engaging in dual cultivation would only waste Su Yueshang's abundant primordial yin energy.

"The day you establish your foundation will be the day we cultivate together for the first time." Upon hearing this, Su Yueshang blushed deeply.

Having made their decision, the two exchanged a smile, their mutual affection unspoken.

Afterwards, the two finally had a moment to turn their attention to the storage bag left behind by Wang Juetian and his apprentice.

These two cultists from the Blissful Sect schemed and plotted, infiltrating and sabotaging, but all they did was benefit Chen Qian and his companion.

The two began to take stock of their spoils.

Wang Jue Tian, ​​as a peak early-stage Core Formation cultivator, is quite wealthy. Although Zhang Shan is only at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment, as a core disciple of the Blissful Sect, his wealth is still considerable compared to ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

A vast quantity of spirit stones, elixirs, magical treasures, cultivation techniques, and jade slips were all available.

There are pills suitable for Core Formation and Foundation Establishment cultivators, as well as some high-quality magic weapons and spiritual artifacts.

The core seductive arts technique of the Blissful Sect, the "Heart Sutra of Bliss";
A secret record documenting the distribution, communication codes, and recent movements of demonic forces in and around the Li Kingdom;

There is also a book called "Blood Fiend Forbidden Techniques" that records several vicious and restrictive methods.

There are also many special items:

A deep purple crystal containing pure thunderous energy, suspected to be some kind of rare treasure of heaven and earth, which is of great use for cultivating thunder magic or refining special thunder-attribute magic weapons.

An ancient bronze token, one side engraved with twisted demonic patterns, the other with the words "Paradise".

This should be the mark of a core member of the Demonic Alliance. It is also a defensive magical artifact, and symbolizes identity and authority.

A delicate jade bottle contains three pink pills, each the size of a longan, emitting a strange sweet fragrance.

Su Yueshang recognized this as the Bliss Pill, a secret medicine of the Bliss Sect. It could forcibly stimulate a cultivator's desires and enhance the five senses, making it an excellent auxiliary medicine for cultivating the Blissful Joy Sutra.

As long as one can withstand the desires and malevolent energy within the pill, it will definitely allow the cultivator to enjoy a state of ultimate bliss. Moreover, this medicine contains an extremely large spiritual source, which can also help enhance cultivation.

This was simply an excellent auxiliary elixir specially made for Chen Qian's Foundation Establishment. He smiled and quickly put it away.

Unsurprisingly, he received a glare from Su Yueshang. Both Chen Qian and Su Yueshang were excited to see a jade box with cloud patterns and a spirit-suppressing talisman affixed to it; given the seriousness with which it was handled, the treasure inside must be extraordinary.

Su Yueshang took a deep breath, waved her hand to remove the talisman, and opened the jade box.

Chen Qian also widened his eyes and activated his Divine Eye Technique, wanting to find out what was going on.

Anyway, since it's within the Realm of Fate, Chen Qian is confident he can handle any terrifying thing.

The box was opened, and a deep blue, crystal-clear gemstone, about the size of a little finger, was revealed.

The crystal shimmered with spiritual light, and the surrounding air seemed to be stirred by it, forming visible ripples of spiritual energy.

"Ah!" Chen Qian exclaimed in surprise, almost blinded by the light.

"It's actually a high-grade spirit stone!" Su Yueshang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

In the cultivation world, 99% of spirit stones are low-grade spirit stones, and mid-grade spirit stones are quite rare.

As for high-grade spirit stones, they can only be described as legendary items.

The entire Chen family, though large, didn't have a single one.

Based on the exchange rate of spirit stones, one high-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.

In reality, even if you have 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, you might not be able to exchange them for high-grade spirit stones.

High-grade spirit stones can no longer be regarded as currency, not only because they are extremely rare, but also because they contain extremely rich and pure spiritual energy, and can be used as the best spiritual items for breaking through realms.

The spiritual energy it contains is extremely pure, and it can be directly converted into a cultivator's magical power without almost any refining.

In a battle, having a high-grade spirit stone in hand is practically equivalent to having unlimited firing rights.

If Chen Qian uses it to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, then he won't even need any other resources.

Even the Drunken Moon Palace, one of the five great immortal sects, only possesses a dozen or so in its secret vault, which it has always treasured as a strategic reserve and is almost never used unless in a life-or-death situation.

In his book "Rare Treasures of the World", Chen Qian described that above the superior grade spirit stones, there is also the concept of the ultimate grade spirit stones.

It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, such a treasure appeared in the Central Plains Continent, and the struggle for ownership triggered a major war between dozens of the largest immortal sects.

But in this day and age, let alone top-grade spirit stones, even high-grade spirit stones are extremely rare.

Wang Jue Tian is incredibly lucky to have collected one; no wonder Su Yue Chang exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe~ Now it's ours." Chen Qian was extremely excited and suddenly hugged Su Yueshang next to him, giving her a hard kiss on the cheek.

This made Su Yueshang's face look like it was about to bleed, and she slapped Chen Qian in protest.

After clearing out these special items, all that was left were some messy, miscellaneous items.

In the end, while picking and choosing, Chen Qian found an inconspicuous gray clam shell in a pile of miscellaneous items.

Chen Qian initially thought it was a low-grade spiritual material, but when he scanned it with his divine sense, he found that it was extremely tough and contained a bead with a strange divine soul aura inside.

After Su Yuechang's appraisal, it was confirmed that this was a Spirit-Nourishing Clam Pearl, which is a rare item. It has a good auxiliary effect on nurturing a cultivator's spiritual consciousness and is of considerable value, making it a good gain.

After the inventory was completed, the two quickly divided the items:
Make two copies of all the cultivation techniques jade slips and recorded information.

One copy was left for Chen Qian to study and comprehend, so that he could grasp the relevant information.

One copy was to be taken back to Zuiyue Palace by Su Yueshang. Information about the infiltration and distribution of the demonic forces in Li Kingdom and their recent movements should also be promptly communicated to allies such as Cangfeng Pavilion in order to seize the initiative and prepare for defense.

Su Yueshang also took the Demon Alliance token, which symbolized her identity, with her.

Chen Qian also gave Su Yueshang all the magical treasures and pills suitable for Core Formation cultivators.

He can't use these things for the time being, and even if he throws them directly into the Chaos Pool, the benefits won't be significant.

However, it allows Su Yueshang to have the resources to improve her cultivation and nurture her golden core.

Wang Juetian and his disciple had a large number of spirit stones in their storage bags, all of which belonged to Chen Qian. These were of great use to him, totaling more than 100,000 stones, making him rich overnight.

Chen Qian also put away other miscellaneous items, such as magical artifacts, pills, and talismans, which were all between the first and second tiers.

Some of them were immediately usable. For example, Chen Qian found a top-tier magical inner armor in Zhang Shan's storage bag, which was exactly what he needed.

Thunder Crystal Cores can be used to cultivate Thunderscale Salamanders, which is something that is in high demand.

After clearing out the supplies, Chen Qian let out a satisfied sigh.

A True Person who has reached the Core Formation stage is wealthy.

Su Yueshang had been in the Realm of Fate for several days. Although she was reluctant to leave, it was time for her to depart.

"There is no time to lose. I must return to Drunken Moon Palace immediately to present this intelligence and the Demon Alliance token to the sect, and report what has happened here."

Su Yueshang suppressed her lingering affection and her expression turned solemn. "The Demon Alliance is making frequent moves, and the day of their invasion is probably approaching. My lord, you must be careful when you travel, and try to avoid going far away before you reach the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Fortunately, my lord is protected by the Wheel of Life, otherwise I would really not be able to leave you."

Chen Qian pulled the beauty into his arms again, saying, "My dear wife, please be careful on your journey. You don't need to worry about my safety."

"On the contrary, I have a different opinion about the timing of the Demon Alliance's invasion."

"The Demon Alliance is making frequent moves in Lebanon now, and it is clear that they are doing the same in other neighboring countries."

"This means it will be at least several more years before they actually launch an invasion."

"Because they will have to consolidate their strength before the war actually begins."

"In other words, if there is a relatively calm period for a long time, that is probably when the invasion will truly begin."

Su Yueshang frowned and pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement, agreeing with Chen Qian's judgment.

"There are rumors that the Hidden Edge Pavilion might launch a war to reclaim the wasteland in the south, which is probably more urgent," Chen Qian said slowly, stroking Su Yueshang's jade-like hand.

Su Yueshang looked at Chen Qian with admiration, her bright eyes shining, "My lord has such a clear understanding of the situation, I admire you the most."

"Drunken Moon Palace did receive news that Hidden Edge Pavilion wants to launch a pioneering war before the Demon Alliance invades, mainly to collect more resources."

"For cultivation families, this is a crisis, but also an opportunity for development."

"If the Chen family can seize this opportunity, they may be able to reap even more benefits."

"I'm not worried about that, because the Drunken Moon Palace will definitely participate in the battle, and I will definitely help the Chen family, where my lord is, more."

"Then I will thank you on behalf of the Chen family for your support, Madam."

Su Yueshang gave Chen Qian a reproachful look, her eyes sparkling and captivating him.

After the two spent some more time cuddling and whispering sweet nothings, Chen Qian finally led Su Yueshang out of the Wheel of Fate.
